The sinking of the "San Jose" treasure ship was nothing to the British Imperial Navy at the time, because they didn't know it was a treasure ship, and thought it was just an ordinary troop transport ship.

The battle for maritime hegemony between the British Empire and the Spanish Empire was the largest and most cruel maritime war in the history of the human world. The Pacific Ocean War of World War II may be more well-known in the future, but the number of people involved, the damaged ships, and the victims were It is far inferior to the maritime war for supremacy between the two empires.

  At that time, the two sides had already killed the red eye. As long as it is the ship of the other party or the other's allies, it will be destroyed, regardless of whether you are a troop transporter or a slave ship. This destroyed too much, and the captain of the warship responsible for sinking the San Jose did not record the location of the shipwreck. Even at that time, they didn't come here specifically to sink the San Jose. At that time, they had another important task. Sinking the San Jose could only mean grazing and fighting rabbits and taking advantage of the situation.

The   San Jose was also unlucky enough, and Felipe V was even more unlucky. This money was his military expenses. It is said that the ship carried the main treasures looted from the Spanish American colonies, gold, silver, and various gems, countless!

  The reason why he prepared so much military expenditure is not only to use it for naval hegemony with the British Empire, but also to organize a new army and regain Italian territory.

  The naval battle between Britain and the West has lasted for hundreds of years. The two sides have been fighting for the ownership of the Atlantic Ocean. Later, they joined the Dutch Empire. The situation was particularly chaotic. Spain’s sea power was continuously challenged and slowly fell into the wind.

  The Great Great Battle in the West in the 16th century was a turning point. The British Empire replaced the Spanish Empire as the maritime hegemon of the Atlantic Ocean, and in that era. The Atlantic Ocean was the lifeline of slavery and shipping. Felipe V was unwilling to do so. He always wanted to take revenge and defeat the British Empire to regain its maritime supremacy in the Atlantic Ocean.

  But people are not as good as heaven. He was full of ambitions. In the end, he not only failed to defeat the British navy, but because of a lack of military expenditure, he was defeated by the Allied Forces of the Four Nations when he regained Italy. Eventually died in depression.

Throughout that era, the San Jose was a ship that could affect the battle of the times. If it returned to Spain safely at that time, perhaps the world pattern would have to be rewritten. At least Felipe V could successfully organize the army to regain Italy and control the Mediterranean Sea. , The accumulation of power may not be able to hit the British Empire and curb the rise of the empire that never sets.

  Felipe V knew the importance of this ship’s treasure. Therefore, in order to conceal people's eyes, he did not use conventional treasure ships to transport them, nor did he organize a large-scale fleet to **** them. Because at that time the hegemony of the Atlantic Ocean was in the hands of the British Navy, even if he organized a large-scale fleet escort, he would only serve as a target for the British Navy.

  Unfortunately, people are not as good as the sky. The San Jose entered the Caribbean Sea. In the end, he encountered the British Imperial Navy, and was slapped with grass and rabbits. Unfortunately, he was overturned by a platoon of guns.

   There were more than 600 elite Spanish navy on board, but only a fraction of them escaped. These people did not return to Spain, because losing the giant treasure at that time was a crime of decapitation and would afflict the entire family. As a result, these people fled for their lives, and the news of the San Jose shipwreck was covered up.

After   , although news of the San Jose shipwreck spread widely. However, the British Navy did not record the exact location of the sinking of the San Jose. The few people who escaped the shipwreck were just ordinary soldiers, and the sea was no better than land, and the vast ocean could not be marked, so in the end no one was able to find this treasure ship, which is said to be invaluable.

  Qin Shiou recalled the message of the San Jose. Asked little Blake: "Did you really find the location of this ship? For centuries, I don't know how many people haven't found it. How did you find it?"

Little Blake smiled slightly and said, "My luck is better. At the beginning of the year, I received a logbook of a ship named'Sturdy as a Rock'. I conducted research based on the information inside, and then guess me. What did you find?"

"This ship is the warship that sank the San Jose?" Qin Shiou asked strangely. It may not be a coincidence, because at the beginning it was impossible to determine the identity of the ship that sank the San Jose, which led to the location of the sunken ship. Can't query at all.

At that time, the naval battles at sea were very chaotic. The navies of Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal often fought. Navy ships or pirate ships, then attack each other.

  After decades of fighting, several maritime hegemons discovered that this was not possible. It was their own grassroots economy that was injured by the melee, so they negotiated that they would not be allowed to attack civilian ships and commercial ships in the future. This is the four-nation maritime convention.

  But as we all know, the creation of a state-to-state contract is for destruction. The navies of the four countries simply do not comply with the convention. Should they attack civilian ships or attack civilian ships, or looting merchant ships or looting merchant ships. In order to avoid being caught, they began to make false accounts, refused to admit it after attacking such a ship, and did not record it in the captain's logbook and battle log.

Little Black nodded and said: "Yes, according to my research evidence. Later, in this logbook, I found the year the San Jose was sunk, that is, the ship's route in 1708. In the end. It is certain that the place where they sank the San Jose is not far from the Cayman Islands. Because the Rocky Rock was trying to supply supplies, they ran into the San Jose and thought it was a Spanish troop carrier. Sank."

  "San Jose was sunk. They were worried that there would be Spanish naval ships behind them, and they had not much supplies, so they quickly slipped away. This is the reason why they did not keep a specific record of the location of the naval battle!"

Qin Shiou touched the back of his head. He felt that this fellow, Blake, was also a talent. He was able to find out so much information along the way. He couldn't help but praised: "It is a loss to them if you don't go to work on the intelligence five tigers, and it is also to your talent. Waste."

  Intelligence Five Tigers is a collective term that refers to the five main agencies responsible for intelligence collection in Canada. They are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, the Ministry of Armed Forces and Defense, the National Security Intelligence Agency, the Royal Mounted Police and the Communications Security Agency. These five agencies are responsible for collecting signal intelligence and part of human intelligence for Canada for decision-making, national security and military operations. The elites inside are good at intelligence analysis, so Qin Shiou said.

Little Blake took out a chart of the Caribbean Sea that he was carrying with him. A red five-pointed star was drawn to the southwest. He assuredly said, “This is the approximate location of the San Jose. Now, I think we are really going to become a rich and enemy country!" (To be continued~^~)
