The sinking of the treasure ship "San Jose" didn't count for the British Empire Navy at that time, because they didn't know that it was a treasure ship, and they thought it was just an ordinary troop ship.

The maritime battle between the British Empire and the Spanish Empire was the largest and most brutal maritime war in the history of the human world. The Pacific Navy in World War II may be more well-known in the future, but the number of people involved, the damaged warships and victims, was far inferior to the maritime battle between the two empires.

At that time, both sides were already jealous. As long as it was the ship of the other party or the other party's ally, it would be destroyed. No matter what kind of troop ship or slave ship you have, it would be destroyed. This way, too many were destroyed. The captain of the warship responsible for sinking the San Jose at that time did not record the location of the shipwreck. Even at that time, they did not come specifically to sink the San Jose. At that time, they had other important tasks. Sinking the San Jose could only be said to be a rabbit and go with the flow.

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

The reason why he prepared so much military expenditure was not only used to fight against the British Empire at sea, but also to organize new troops and regain Italian territory.

The naval war between Britain and the West has been continuous for hundreds of years. The struggle between the two sides over the ownership of the Atlantic Ocean has continued. Later, they joined the Dutch Empire. The situation was particularly chaotic. Spain's maritime rights were constantly challenged and slowly fell at a disadvantage.

The Battle of Britain and the West in the 16th century was a turning point. The British Empire replaced the Spanish Empire and became the maritime overlord of the Atlantic Ocean. In that era, the Atlantic Ocean was a slave and a lifeline for shipping. Felipe V was unwilling to do so. He always wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge and defeat the British Empire and regain the maritime overlord of the Atlantic Ocean.

But man's plan is not as good as God's plan. He has ambitions and is unable to defeat the British Navy in the end, but also lacks military expenditure. Later, when he recovers Italy, he was defeated by the four-nation coalition forces and eventually died of depression.

Looking at that era, the San Jose was a ship that could influence the war situation of the times. If it had returned to Spain safely, perhaps the world pattern would have to be rewritten. At least Felipe V could successfully organize his army to recover Italy and then control the Mediterranean. He accumulated strength and might not have really hit the British Empire and curbed the rise of the Empire of the Sun.

Felipe V knew the importance of this treasure. Therefore, in order to cover up his eyes, he did not use conventional treasure ships to transport them, nor did he organize a large-scale fleet to escort them. Because at that time the sovereignty of the Atlantic Ocean was in the hands of the British Navy, and even if he organized a large-scale fleet to escort, he would only serve as a target for the British Navy.

Unfortunately, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. After entering the Caribbean Sea, the San Jose finally encountered the British Empire Navy, and was then beaten by someone to beat the rabbit. Unluckily, he was knocked over by a round of cannons.

There were more than 60 elite Spanish navy soldiers on the ship. The one who escaped in the end was only a fraction of the time. These people did not return to Spain because the loss of the giant treasure was a crime of beheading and would implicate the entire family. So, these people fled their lives, and the news of the sinking of the San Jose was covered up.

Later, although the news of the San Jose shipwreck spread widely, the British Navy did not record the specific location of the San Jose sinking at that time. The few people who escaped by chance were just ordinary soldiers, and the sea was no more than 6 places. The vast ocean could not be marked, so in the end no one could find this treasure ship that was said to be priceless.

Qin Shiou recalled the information about the San Jose and asked Little Black: "Have you really found the location of this ship? For centuries, I don't know how many people have found it. How did you find it?"

Little Black smiled slightly and said, "I'm lucky. At the beginning of the year, I received a navigation log, a ship called "Solid as Reef". I conducted research based on the information inside, and then guess what I found?"

"This ship is the warship that sunks the San Jose?" Qin Shiou asked strangely. It may not be a coincidence, because it was impossible to determine the specific identity of the warship that sunks the San Jose, which caused the position of the shipwreck to be completely unable to be found.

The naval wars at that time were very chaotic. The navy of Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal often fought me, and you beat me and I beat you. Not only did the navy fight between the navy, but the navy also liked to attack civilian ships and merchant ships. Some civilian ships and merchant ships would also disguise themselves as naval ships or pirate ships and attack each other.

After decades of fighting, several maritime overlords have become unsuccessful. Their melee continues to be injured by their own grassroots economy. So they negotiated that they will not be allowed to attack civilian ships and commercial ships in the future. This is the Maritime Convention of the Four Kingdoms.

But as we all know, the establishment of contracts between countries is for destruction. The navy of four countries does not comply with the convention at all. Should it attack civilian ships or attack civilian ships? Should it plunder merchant ships or loot merchant ships. In order to avoid being caught, they began to make false accounts, and refused to admit it after attacking such ships, and did not record them in the captain's navigation log and combat log.

Little Black nodded and said, "Yes, according to my research, this is the case. Later, in this log of navigation, I found the year the San Jose was sunk, which was the route of the ship in 17o8. Finally, it was confirmed that the place where they sunk the San Jose was located not far from the Cayman Islands, because the Reef was as strong as a reef, they encountered the San Jose and thought it was a Spanish troop ship, so they sank it."

"They were worried that there would be Spanish naval ships behind them, and they had no supply anymore, so they quickly slipped away. This is why they did not leave a specific record of the naval position!"

Qin Shiou touched the back of his head and felt that Little Black was also a talented person. He could actually follow the clues and find so much information. He couldn't help but praise: "If you don't go to the Five Tigers to work, it's really their loss, and it's also a waste of your talent."

The Five Intelligence Tigers are a collective term, referring to the five major institutions in Canada responsible for intelligence collection, namely the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Exhibition, the Ministry of Armed Forces and Defense, the National Security Intelligence Agency, the Royal Mounted Police and the Communications Security Agency. These five institutions are responsible for collecting signal intelligence and some human intelligence for Canada for decision-making, safeguarding national security and military operations. The elite talents in it are good at intelligence analysis, so Qin Shiou said so.

Little Black took out a chart of the Caribbean Sea that he carried with him, and there was a red five-pointed star in the southwest position. He said confidently: "This is the approximate location of San Jose. You can find a way to check with Billy. I think we are really going to become rich and can match the country!" (To be continued.)
