In the vast Mediterranean Sea, a fleet was slowly sailing across the waters. The waves on the Mediterranean were modest, and in the distance, the azure sea merged with the deep blue sky, creating a scene of splendid beauty.
This fleet was transporting a portion of Spain's gold to Australasia, completing the second phase of the agreement between Spain and Australasia, which was to transfer the Spanish gold to Australasia.
Of course, it was impossible for the trade between the two parties to be settled in a single transaction. Australasia could not possibly provide Spain with a large quantity of weapons and equipment all at once, and Spain was also unlikely to hand over all of its gold to Australasia in one go.
Sailing in the Mediterranean, the Australasian fleet remained highly vigilant.
The fleet was transporting 50 tons of gold, accounting for about one-tenth of Spain's total gold reserves. The total value was enormous.
