Chapter 54 Dig your treasure
The smoke that had permeated the whole territory of Chile for more than three months finally dissipated, and the international world quickly recognized the Monte political axe, but the United States was a little miscalculated. Originally, after they seized the "Itata" congressional cargo ship that came to the country to purchase arms, they wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the Chilean parliament in exchange for huge profits in saltpetre, but The lightning offensive of the congressional army made them return in no way. The angry Americans simply seized all the arms, including the Itata, on the grounds that they could not sell arms to the belligerent countries.
President Balmaseda did not commit suicide with a gun as described in history, but suddenly disappeared when the congressmen were under the city, which made those forces who were still loyal to him scolded Congress for assassinating the president while secretly searching for his whereabouts. At the same time, they are looking for him, as well as the congressional forces led by Monte. For them, Balmaseda is a shell that will explode at any time.
The two sides of the accusations harassed the search, but covered up another thing. The ironclad Brade, the protection cruiser Erla Sourix and the protected cruiser were quietly crossed out of the roster by the Chilean navy just after arriving in Chile. At the same time, two torpedo ships and a wooden training ship disappeared.
When the six warships drove directly into the Gulf of Masti Island and arrived on the same day, the escort officers and soldiers who came here to rest and prepare to go home cheered excitedly, as if they had seen the fleet protecting them and fighting all over the world.
The ironclad ships Longxiao, the cruisers and the cruisers, the torpedo destroyers Swordfish and Flying Fish, and the training ship Traveler. Under everyone's expectation, Master Li set a new name for the six warships, and the escort was officially renamed the Pacific Army.
When the excitement gradually cooled down, a serious fact was placed in front of Long Guozhang, the first commander of the Pacific Fleet, and Chen Pimping, the chief of staff, because they found that at least 1,500 people were needed to fly these six warships. But now! Long Guozhang has less than 500 sailors who have been trained on the freighter.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were full of sadness.
In the end, Long Guozhang, the first commander, could only grit his teeth and leave the fleet temporarily, starting to recruit sailors and suitable naval officers all over the world.
Compared with the depression of the fleet, Zhao Long is full of spring breeze. Twenty-five intact 75mm army cannons and a large number of shells suddenly turned the army, which lacked heavy firepower, turned over and serfs. Especially here, there is such an empty sea area that can be used for artillery training, and there is no need to dodge, so this paragraph In the south of Masdi Island, you can hear the rumble of gunfire in the south of Masdi Island almost every day.
When Master Li finished his work and came to inspect the guard, he found that these guys had actually shot out a full 30 boxes of shells. He was so angry that he let Zhao Long soak in the sea for a day.
After crossing the ocean, he came to a strange country to fight against strange opponents, and finally achieved 70 deaths, 231 injuries, and annihilating and capturing more than 3,000 enemies. If this result is put in the Far East a few years later, I'm afraid it won't even count as a fraction, but the South America that appears at this moment can definitely be counted. It's a big win.
In addition to the efforts of the soldiers to achieve such great success, it is also inseparable from the new military training outline written by Master Li. It can be said that the escort relied on the military concept a hundred years later, defeated and used the three-stage shooting method again. When fighting, they did not look for cover, and charged straight forward, completely living in the 18th century. The world's third-rate Chilean army.
Just like the movie that used to be very popular today, the lone knight, painted with the word Z, single-handedly fights out hundreds of clumsy soldiers alone, and can be more than enough. Master Li burst into tears, and there were 2,000 people! Such results are not worth boasting at all.
What really made him happy was that the soldiers passed the first battle, and the young officers were also trained, laying the foundation for future expansion. Finally, in order to reward everyone, Master Li specially asked Simmons to bring a boat of wine and food, and personally arranged for the soldiers to have a good rest.
The fleet has been established, and the escort also needs to be formally established.
The escort was officially renamed the First Division of the Pacific Army, with a total of four regiments, each with 1,000 people. Since the actual total number of the escorts is currently 3,000, Li Mo authorized Zhao Long to form another regiment. In addition, he also set up an artillery company for the first time, temporarily dispatching 300 people from the escort, led by Chilean instructors. Learn cannon technology. .
The division commander is naturally Zhao Long, and the four regimental commanders are Luo Feng, Ouyang Xiu, Huang Fuqi and Chu Tianjin. All four of them were trained in this war. In order to better enrich them, Li Mo even asked Chen Ping to contact Simmons and let the four of them receive half a year of training at the Chilean Army Academy.
When Master Li finished all this, he immediately took Liu Guishan and others to "inspection" the Masties Island, which would belong to him within three years.
Damn, if you blackmail me so much money, it's time for you to bleed!

The search for a few days and nights almost made Master Li despair. Standing by the highest volcanic lake on the island, he even suspected that he had misremembered it, or that Robinson Island and Masties Island were not the same place in later generations?
But I clearly remember that the host of that program said that the Chilean political axe changed the name of Mast to Robinson in 1966. Crusoe Island has also been opened up as a national park!
Master Li looked up and looked far away. The vast Pacific Ocean was like a huge blue gem, emitting a bright and charming luster in the sun. In just a few years, he, a traveler, actually established two bases in the south and north of the ocean at the same time.
Although the base is temporary, it is an important prelude to taking a solid step. It is with them that the Great Pacific Plan in my dream has outlined the two most important strokes.
More importantly, there is gold in the south and the north at the same time. Is this the legendary coincidence in the play?
What made Master Li collapse was that the young master trampled on every inch of land here, but where is the broadcast live on his mother's TV as the greatest treasure of the 21st century?!
The gold in the north is being continuously mined and secretly transferred to Hawaii. And to the south! In the past half a month, he searched almost all over Masdi Island, but he didn't find any clues. If it hadn't been for the real unearthed pictures of the National Geographic program, I'm afraid he would have given up.
After finding a big stone and sitting down, Li Mo pulled up a weed, held it in his mouth, and stared at the messy stone in front of him, which was most like a treasure, but this messy stone was too big. Even if all the guards were used, it was impossible to dig it out in a short time. Once the large-scale operation shocked the Chileans. Not to mention the unstable relationship, even brothers, in the face of such a huge treasure, Monte will definitely let the fleet destroy himself directly!
The sun is setting, the severe winter in the northern hemisphere has just ended, and the summer here has come to an end. Looking at the scorching sun slowly falling in the distance, Li Mo suddenly has the impulse to rush into Antarctica and go to the end of the sky.
I don't know how long it took. When there was only a thin line left in Canyang, Master Li got up and sighed for a long time. He still couldn't locate the specific location of the treasure in a short time. Do you really have to dig here on a large scale?
Suddenly, Li Mo's eyes lit up! As the sunset fell, the huge mountain stone not far away pulled out a long oblique shadow. When the top of the shadow touched another big mountain stone next to it, the chaotic stone in front of him seemed to be distorted. He stared at it until it overlapped with the picture of the treasure unearthed in the sunset in his mind. Li Mo felt as if Hit by hundreds of tons of air hammer! The blood suddenly poured into the brain, and the whole body trembled with trembling.
"Here, this is it!" Master Li jumped and cheered, crossed the largest and most suspicious stone, and stopped in front of the mountain stone shrouded in its shadow.
Then, hold the stone and twist your buttocks!
Liu Guishan was in a daze, because he saw that Master Li, who was like a god in his heart, was dancing, holding a big stone to be weathered and lying on it... Twist your ass! Yes, twist your ass! Wipe your eyes, Liu Guishan must have seen it correctly. And the ram, which is twisted happily and in a posture like **, is riding on the back of the ew... It's really unsightly eye-catching!
โ....... What is this, young master?
"Is it possible that I haven't seen my mother for many days and have santilism?"
"It's possible. I heard that the young master used to let Miss Qiao sleep with her every night!"
"Why don't you go and talk to the teacher and find two Chilean foreign girls to extinguish the young master?"
"Laughing bullshit! Go and ask Chen Ping and Zhao Long to come!" Master Li kicked the bastard who said he wanted to help him find a foreign girl to extinguish the fire. He climbed on the stone and was no longer willing to come down.

"What, dig a camp here?" Zhao Long's eyes widened and swept around, bare! It's all rocks, and the terrain is not flat. I'm afraid it won't be easy to build a camp in a few months. Besides, this is still the live ammunition training ground he chose. If it is converted into a camp, where will you train by yourself?
Chen Ping also shook his head more like a wavy drum. Although Masty Island is not big, it is enough to build a camp for thousands of people in Masty Bay near the north. Why build another camp?
Besides, from the sea, there is no shade here, which is not in line with the young master's low-key style!
It's expensive and time-consuming, and easy to find out, which is not cost-effective.
"It's a good deal! Of course it's a good deal!" Master Li's mouth was crooked: "There is gold below!"
Gold! Below here?
Zhao Long and Li Qiangqiang stared and shook their heads. If there was gold below, I could dig jade in my hut!
The young master was not blackmailed by the Chileans. He thought about money and had hirs, didn't he?
"Why don't you have any eyes? Only in your pit can there be jade!" Zhao Long, who kicked away and muttered, immediately asked Chen Ping to arrange the fleet to go to sea for large-scale ocean-going training on the grounds of adapting to the new warship as soon as possible, so that those Chilean instructors who came must leave with the ship to teach with the army.
After sending the Chileans away, Master Li immediately went to Zhao Long to select the 100 most trustworthy soldiers in person and began to dig in the place designated by the young master overnight. Although no one knew what the young master was going to dig, a day later, a tattered wooden barrel was smashed open by an iron pick, revealing After the golden color, everyone held their breath.
There is really gold!
How can there be gold in this shabby place?! And how did the young master know?
"I read it in the book! Didn't you hear the phrase "there is a golden house in the book"? After the teacher's theory and newspaper theory, Master Li shamelessly launched the book theory.
Did you read it in the book?
"Why did I read this Robinson Crusoe three times and didn't see any gold here?" Chen Ping's eyes were straight, he touched Robinson Crusoe, and wanted to jump into the sea.
As the iron picks dug deeper and deeper, gold coins and jewelry appeared from time to time, Master Li's book theory was completely thrown out of the sky by everyone. Finally, when the tunnel mesed under the stone and finally reached the bottom of the stone, everyone held their breath.
Master Li finally understood why after the news of the treasure spread in 1940, countless people searched all over the island but did not find it. It turned out that the cunning pirates not only buried the treasure under the soil layer up to 15 meters deep, but also deliberately turned the tunnel around and put the treasure room in the boulder when digging. In this way, even if the soil layer is dug, the treasure can't be seen.
While marveling at the pirate's wisdom, the dazzling treasure also dazzled everyone. Not only the excavated soldiers were stunned and at a loss, but also Master Li, a time traveler who knew the value of the treasure accurately, was stunned.
There are too many! There are too many!
"Dig!" Master Li swallowed wildly and his eyes were green: "Let you blacken the young master! Let you treat the young master as a wrongdoer! The young master dug up your treasure! Haha~โ
864 barrels of gold, 160 boxes of gold coins, 200 gold ingots and 21 barrels of jewelry! Finally, under the excavation of the soldiers, all of them were excavated three days later. Although the weight does not match the legendary records of thousands of tons, there are still a total of 325 tons of gold and 21 barrels of jewelry whose value cannot be estimated for the time being!
God, every soldier who looked at these gold was dizzy, and Li Mo calculated that this batch of gold alone was worth about 45 million pounds, in US dollars, more than 200 million yuan! This does not include those immeasurable jewelry! No wonder the commentator of later generations said that this treasure is worth 10 billion US dollars. Considering the actual value of the currency of the two eras, it is converted into later generations. Even if there is no 10 billion, there are still 5 billion.
As the last gold ingot was dug out, Zhao Long and others sealed the batch of gold overnight and moved it to two armed cargo ships. Then they immediately announced that a large-scale shelling training would be held in the place where the gold was unearthed. With the rumbling gunfire, the traces of landfill completely disappeared.
After getting this batch of dream golden treasures, Master Li was even interested in saying hello to Monte. After asking Simmons for a cruiser escort and leaving another 500 people stationed on Masti Island, he returned to Hawaii with two cargo ships and the remaining officers and soldiers on the grounds of urgent business.
On the third day after Master Li left with gold, Chen Ping also took Liu Haitao, Ji Rushan and two other naval officers who had studied in Europe, mixed in the Chilean navy's command group led by Simmons to build ships to the UK and set out for Europe.
