Chapter 337 Nationality
Returning to Nicosia from Paphos, you can just walk along the A6 expressway. The whole journey is about 160 kilometers and you can reach it in more than an hour.
The Mercedes-Benz S600 bulletproof sedan is running on the highway at a speed of nearly 100 mph. Thanks to the car's weight of 5.3 tons, the car runs extremely smoothly on the highway.
Yang Jing sat in the spacious back seat, the princess snuggled in Yang Jing's arms, and the two of them looked at the post together.
"Henry Bodeman, a great pirate active in the Caribbean Sea in the early 18th century, nicknamed the "Sea Snake", was a British Welsh. It is said that he worked on the same British slave ship with the "Black Baron" Barshallomour Roberts. Later, they were captured by the great pirate Davis, and they joined Davis' pirate team together.
Henry Bodeman was cruel and ruthless, but he was very proficient in naval battles. If he hadn't injured his right leg in a battle, causing his right leg to walk poorly, perhaps Davis wouldn't have promoted Bashalome Roberts to his right hand, but Henry Bodeman, who was as venomous as the sea snake.
Later, Davis was killed by the Portuguese, and Barshallom Roberts took over Davis' pirate team, and he and Henry Bodeman immediately became Barshallom Roberts' right-hand and number one military advisor. It is said that the battle of Barshallom's surprise attack on Traebassi Port was planned by Henry Bodeman.
However, after Bashalomu conquered the Port of Trebassi, Henry Bodeman suddenly disappeared. Some said he died in battle, some said he was quietly killed by Bashalomu, and some said that he and Bashalomu could not get along and went to South America to start a new situation. Anyway, in nearly two years, Henry Bodeman disappeared strangely.
However, just three months before Bashalomou died in the battle on the coast of Guinea, Henry Bodeman suddenly appeared and became Bashalomou's right-hand man again. No one knew where Henry Bodeman had gone for nearly two years, but it is certain that Henry Bodeman did not betray Bashalomou, nor did he die in battle.
On February 10, 1722, Bashalom's pirate fleet encountered the British fleet on the coast of Guinea. A fierce battle broke out between the two. During the battle, Bashalom's throat was cut by shrapnel and died of death. However, the pirates were not confused by Bashalom's sudden death, because at a critical moment, Henry Boardman stood up and became the backbone of the pirates. Under the leadership of Henry Boardman, the pirates escaped the attack of the British Navy and successfully entered the South Atlantic Ocean.
But man's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Henry Bodeman, who led the pirates to enter the South American waters, encountered a rare hurricane on the South Atlantic. Although it was just a first-class hurricane, it was not something that the pirates' wooden ships could withstand. In the end, the huge pirate team composed of dozens of pirate ships had only two ships that did not sink. Other ships, including the flagship "Royal Fortune" that Henry Bodeman was riding, sank forever under the cold deep sea of the South Atlantic..."
After reading this post, the two looked at each other.
Princess breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This 'Sea Snake' Boardman is really unlucky enough. It may not be possible to form a hurricane in the South Atlantic for a few years. Unexpectedly, it will be possible to catch up with it once."
The South Atlantic Ocean is very strange. Hurricanes rarely form. In some years, even a tropical cyclone cannot be generated. Compared with the North Atlantic Ocean opposite the equator, the South Atlantic Ocean is like a delicate and quiet little girl, far less violent than the North Atlantic Ocean north of the equator. More than ten or even dozens of hurricanes will form in a year...
Of course, few hurricanes in the South Atlantic does not mean that there are no hurricanes. Mr. Boardman unfortunately encountered the South Atlantic hurricane, which was wiped out.
"I really didn't expect that this Bodeman, who is nicknamed "Sea Snake", is actually Bashalomous's right-hand man and fellow villager. If all the words in this post are true, then the navigation chart in your hand is worth pondering." Princess continued.
"Hmm?" Yang Jing just burst out of his nose with a word of question.
"This is not simple. If what is said in this post is true, then Mr. Bodeman disappeared for nearly two years after Bashalomu raided the Port of Terre Basilica. So can we guess that Bashalomu robbed the entire Port of Terre Basilica and obtained huge wealth, but there is no place to hide these wealth. So Bashalomu arranged for Mr. Bodeman, whom he trusted, to hide these treasures in the far north. However, with the navigation technology of that era, it was not so easy to reach the far north sea. It was normal for Bodeman to go back and forth for nearly two years in that era. After all, except for the dozens of days in the late summer, the other time cannot be navigated at all."
"Wife, what do you mean is that the reason why Mr. Boardman disappeared for nearly two years was to take the treasures that Bashalomou stolen to hide in the far north?"
The princess nodded and said, "Besides this reason, I really can't think of any other reason to explain what Boardman has been missing for nearly two years."
After a pause, Gege continued: "And later generations know that Bashalom's pirate ships had once reached the Newfoundland waters, but I think this matter is a bit unreliable. After all, Bashalom's peak period was only about four years. During these four years, he was busy just by controlling the Caribbean, West African waters and South American waters. So why did he go to such a remote place in Newfoundland? It is not the place where the North Atlantic route passes. Even if Bashalom controls the North Atlantic, he should also control the waters where the North Atlantic route passes, rather than going to Newfoundland where birds do not shit and chickens do not lay eggs!"
Yang Jing nodded slightly and said, "The only explanation is that the pirate team that once appeared in the waters of Newfoundland was not the pirates led by Basalomou himself, but the pirates led by Henry Bodeman. As for why this pirate team went there, the navigation chart in my hand is an explanation - they went to the far north to hide treasures!"
"That's it. Only such a reason can explain why these pirates went to such a remote sea." Princess said excitedly, clenching her fists.
"Husband, when the weather gets warmer and the waterways in the extreme northern waters are open, let's follow this navigation chart to hunt for treasure!"
"Okay, as long as you like, let's go hunting for treasure." Yang Jing said happily.
"By the way, Princess, why do you know so much about the pirate king of Basha or something? If Chris and the others are so clear, it is understandable. After all, Americans, especially American men, have a pirate dream in their hearts, but you..."
The princess glared at Yang Jing dissatisfiedly, "Why, we women can't understand pirates? Besides, do you still need to know Bashalomeu Roberts specifically? Yang Jing, have you watched "One Piece"?"
"One Piece? Why did I watch that thing? I'm not a child." As soon as this was said, Yang Jing realized something was wrong and quickly apologized: "Wife, you know I didn't mean that..."
Princess waved her hand generously and said, "It's okay, I knew you wouldn't like this kind of comic. However, when I was a child, I was fascinated by "One Piece" for a while. In "One Piece", Basolomew, one of the pirates "The King Under the Seven Warriors Seas" recognized by the world government, was designed based on Bashalomew Roberts."
Yang Jing acted like he was completely defeated, "Okay, my dear Princess Baiyu Gege, you completely defeated me!"
The princess smiled and the flowers were trembling.
While laughing and laughing, we arrived in Nicosia unknowingly.
I stayed at the hotel I booked in Lin Dan in the evening. The next morning, Yang Jing and Gege came to the Cyprus Immigration Bureau again and completed all the procedures in more than two hours.
Of course, after Yang Jing returned to China, he still needed to go through a series of procedures to cancel Chinese nationality, but that was not a problem.
In other words, since Yang Jing signed the last name on those information, he had officially become a Cypriot.
After completing these procedures, Yang Jing felt a little empty in his heart, as if he had become a homeless child.
But he soon buried this emotion in his heart.
There is no way. In order to prove the loophole of the guess, Yang Jing must make this choice. If the loophole of the guess is true, then compared to the limitations of the time and space paradox on himself, Yang Jing feels that it is worth losing his Chinese nationality.
To take a step back, even if the loophole in speculation is not true, at most, it is impossible to restore China's nationality. Yang Jing knew very well that although it was difficult to restore China's nationality, it was for ordinary people. For people like him with a billionaire, no country in the world would refuse such a billionaire to become a citizen of their country.
China is no exception.
Not to mention that I will invest huge amounts of money in my hometown, and will continue to search for mineral resources such as oil fields for Rongbao Mining. So as long as I want to restore my Chinese nationality, it should not be difficult.
In the evening, Mr. Papalocas and his wife attended Yang Jing's invitation. The place where Yang Jing treats him was at the only two-star Michelin restaurant in Nicosia. Although the consumption was not very high, it can be seen that Papalocas and his wife were very happy.
After eating this meal, all Yang Jing's affairs in Cyprus were basically completed. He spent 8.7 million US dollars to buy a vacation villa in the small town of Pisuri and successfully obtained Cyprus nationality.
Chapter completed!
