Chapter 1175: Departure and Return
In the blink of an eye, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and with the full cooperation of all the members of the joint exploration team, the cleanup of Lima's treasure was finally completed!
Every piece of gold and silver treasure and every piece of antique art in Lima's treasure has been registered and preserved by video, and the whole process is highly transparent!
For those jewelry diamonds, various gold and silver products, and many antique works of art with vague value judgments, Ye Tian has given accurate appraisal opinions and valuations!
As for the huge number of gold and silver coins, as well as gold bars and silver ingots, the exact numbers were counted and recorded according to their weight, variety, and age of minting!
On this basis, Ye Tian on behalf of the Brave Explorers and Professor Delgado on behalf of the Costa Rican government, the two sides completed the preliminary distribution of Lima's treasures, and both sides recognized the distribution results!
Everything was as Ye Tian expected, there was nothing different!
When he divided the Lima treasure in two according to its market value, and asked Professor Delgado to choose first, the other party chose the half that included the golden statue of the Virgin Mary!
The remaining half is naturally owned by Ye Tian and the Brave Dreadnought Exploration Company, including the six-pointed star golden scepter head, which symbolizes the royal power of the Mayan Empire!
This kind of distribution result is exactly what Ye Tian wants most!
Of course, this distribution result still needs to be officially recognized by Costa Rica, and when the joint exploration fleet returns to Costa Rica, there will definitely be another round of appraisal and evaluation!
For the appraisal and evaluation organized by the Costa Rican government, Ye Tian is not worried at all, it is a big deal to exchange, no matter how much he gets the half of the Lima treasure, he will not be able to suffer!
As a Catholic Central American country, it is absolutely impossible for Costa Rica to give up the golden statue of the Virgin Mary!
The moment this golden statue of Our Lady appeared on the live screen, it was enshrined as a national treasure by all Costa Ricans, and the Costa Rican government dared to let it go away, unless the heads of those in power were in water!
In other words, no matter how it is exchanged, the six-pointed star golden scepter head must belong to Ye Tian, there is no doubt about this!
Now that the cleaning and distribution of Lima's treasures has been completed, it's time to return!
The superyacht's main deck parlor and the rest of the cabins filled with Lima's treasures are once again under martial law, under the watchful eye of heavily armed security personnel!
The members of the joint exploration team, who had worked hard for more than a day, finally felt tired at this time.
After announcing the completion of the count, everyone immediately cheered, and then dispersed as birds and beasts, returned to their respective cabins to rest, and soon fell asleep, everyone with a sweet smile on their faces!
Ye Tian came to the deck of the superyacht flybridge and sat down in the leisure area, still full of vitality and energy, and he couldn't see that he was half tired at all!
He was joined on the deck of the flybridge by the self-protruding Professors Douglas and Delgado, as well as the energetic Logan!
Not long after he sat down in the relaxation area, Matisse's excited voice came over the intercom.
"Steven, we're ready to sail home! Sail straight to Costa Rica to end this fruitful joint expedition!
I just got in touch with the personnel of Raytheon, and the amphibious assault ship 'Good Guy Richard' has finished its cruise in the nearby waters and is ready to leave here and sail for Panama!
The 'Good Guy Richard' is just eighty nautical miles away, and it is on the same course as ours, which can echo each other from afar, and can block a lot of unnecessary trouble for us!"
"Now that we're ready, let's set off and sail back! Let's also take advantage of the deterrent power of the 'Good Guy Richard' amphibious assault ship to successfully return to Costa Rica."
If that's the case, my money won't be wasted! Remember to inform the other ships in the joint exploration fleet, lest everyone be frightened by not knowing the situation, it would not be good!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle and issued an order to return.
"Understand, Steven, I'll inform all the ships, or they might be frightened, and if something unexpected happens, it's going to be trouble!
You know, 'Good Guy Richard' is an extremely powerful amphibious assault ship, almost equivalent to half an aircraft carrier!
Matisse replied with a smile and sprang into action.
After the call ended, Ye Tian looked at Professor Douglas and Professor Delgado.
At this time, these two historians were completely stupid, and they were looking at Ye Tian in a daze, their eyes were round, and their eyeballs were about to fly out!
Professor Delgado, in particular, had an incredible look in his eyes and a little fear in his eyes!
Can he not be frightened? With the strength of the amphibious assault ship 'Good Guy Richard', destroying the whole of Costa Rica is a matter of minutes, and there is no difficulty!
Not to mention the isolated Cocos Island! Not to mention this joint exploration fleet! With just two 'Apaches', everything here can be completely destroyed!
If the American GIs on that amphibious assault ship also came to the Lima treasure and were ready to snatch it, then they would be able to take the Lima treasure for themselves without much effort!
Once the Lima treasure falls into the hands of those American GIs, what will happen to Costa Rica? When will the American GIs be reasonable? It doesn't seem to be much different from the robbers!
From the conversation between Ye Tian and Mattis, he had already heard that the reason why that terrifying amphibious assault ship appeared here was no accident!
Obviously, this guy Steven has always been in contact with that amphibious assault ship, and that terrifying amphibious assault ship may even be recruited by Steven!
Thinking of this, Professor Delgado immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and his legs began to tremble!
"Steven, I heard you right, right? What's the deal with the amphibious assault ship USS Richard? Don't tell me we're going to go with that horrible big guy!"
Professor Delgado asked tremblingly, his voice trembling.
Looking at Professor Delgado's performance, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.
"You heard you right, Professor Delgado, the amphibious assault ship 'Good Guy Richard' will be sailing in the same direction as our joint exploration fleet, their destination is Panama, let's return to Costa Rica!
But you don't have to worry, 'Good Guy Richard' is only sailing with us, and will not threaten the safety of this joint exploration fleet, they are on a routine cruise, not for the treasures of Lima!"
This route is a fixed patrol route for the amphibious assault ship 'Good Guy Richard', and that battleship has been cruising in this area for a long time, and we just happened to encounter it, not intentionally.
After learning that the amphibious assault ship 'Good Guy Richard' was patrolling this area, I contacted some friends who had connections in the military to see if I could get in touch with the amphibious assault ship.
Not to mention, there are really friends who know the captain of this warship and help me contact the other party, and then I asked the other party to take care of it when I return to the voyage, and the other party agreed very happily!
For the 'Good Guy Richard' amphibious assault ship, this is just a gesture, there is no difficulty at all, and there is no violation of any rules and regulations, so why not?
As for the safety of our joint exploration fleet and the treasures of Lima, you can rest assured that there will be no problems, and don't forget, there are a lot of Americans in this fleet!
What's more, everything here is being broadcast live to the world, there are two live broadcast groups from famous American TV stations, and as long as those American GIs are not crazy, it is impossible for them to run to find trouble!
With this amphibious assault ship sailing nearby, I'm sure no one will rush up in a daze and try to snatch the Lima treasure from us, unless they're tired of life and want to kill themselves!
There are so many Americans in our joint exploration fleet, as well as a live TV broadcast team from the United States, those American GIs naturally can't watch us being attacked, and they will definitely take action!
Once the American GIs make a move, I believe that no one in this sea area will be able to withstand it, and even if the Peruvians and Spaniards send warships, it will be in vain, and they will have to go home!"
Ye Tian smiled and explained the reason, so as not to frighten the two historians in front of him!
But his words still frightened the two scholars, and Professor Douglas and Professor Delgado both looked at him in amazement, and their eyes were about to burst!
It took a long time for these two to wake up from the shock.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Douglas said with emotion:
"Steven, you guy is really terrible, you are simply flawless, you use all the conditions to the extreme, be your opponent, it must be a nightmare!
The 'good guy Richard' amphibious assault ship escorted the ship! This is really too big! Who could have imagined that? I guess many people don't even dare to think about it, but you guy has done it!"
"That's right, you're a monster, I'm completely convinced!"
Professor Delgado echoed, his expression much more relaxed.
At the same time, he also admonished himself.
Don't provoke this crazy guy Steven, otherwise there will be absolutely no place to die, this guy is really terrible!
As he was talking, a melodious whistle suddenly sounded on the sea, resounding throughout the sea.
It's back!
