Under the guidance of the pilot, the heavily damaged Golden Deer slowly berthed into Berth No.17 in Port Royal West.

　　 The disappearing mainmast and the big side hole attracted passers-by to stop and watch. They all wondered which pirate was so brave that actually forced a standard destroyer to the point of ragged clothes.

　　 Unfortunately, they are doomed to guess the answer.

　　 The ship stopped and the plank was lowered. Lorraine took the sailors and walked off the ship. A shilling popped out from a distance and landed precisely in the hands of the pilot.

　　 "Nice semaphore, sir."

　　 The pilot glanced at Lorraine sympathetically, collected the shilling, and pointed to the boat: "It seems that your journey is not going well, sir."

　　 "Thunderstorms, waterspouts, icebergs, pirates, accidents are everywhere on the sea. But without these, what else can we experience when we go to sea?"

"It seems that today is my lucky day. I actually received a young adventurer." The pilot gave Lorraine a thumbs up, "Your ship is so powerful that it can hurt her seriously... Did you meet the Caribbean? Pirate King?"

　　 Lorraine smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You may not believe it, this injury was struck by lightning. We encountered a thunderstorm on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge."

"Thunder?"

　　 "Pirates are not terrible." Lorraine shrugged and smiled, "At least compared with the power of heaven and earth, pirates are not terrible at all."

　　 The pilot nodded in sympathy: "It seems that God has chosen you to bear his anger. In this case, you should be thankful for the Lord's mercy if you can survive this situation. As for the ship, isn't it still sinking?"

　　 "Your solution is very effective..." Lorraine looked at the navigator with a dumb look, "I want to ask you something."

"You say."

　　 "Has the HMS Badger return to sea? I have an appointment with Lieutenant Colonel Nelson, the captain of the Badger."

The pilot thought about it seriously: "After returning home two days ago, the lieutenant colonel you were looking for is probably on duty in the Navy Building. It is the blue-skinned and brown-roofed building not far away. It is very conspicuous. You will not miss it. "

　　 "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

　　……

　　 With a clear goal, Lorraine asked Hannah and Pierce to take the sailors off the gold pound and gold objects on the boat, choose a hotel near the pier, put on a dress, and drove to the Navy Building in a carriage with Carmen.

　　 They did not encounter difficulties.

　　 Half an hour later, Lorraine met the sharp young officer in Nelson's office.

　　 Check in, push the door, Lorraine and Carmen are greeted into the office.

　　 Nelson walked around the desk with a breezy face, and first took a deep kick towards Carmen.

　　 "If you haven't seen you for many days, you still look dazzling. It turns out that even the violent sea breeze will become gentle in the face of beauty."

　　 "You have a good reputation, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." Carmen raised the corner of the skirt in return. "The sea is not gentle. I was just fortunate to follow an excellent captain."

　　 "Men tame the sea, women tame men." Nelson smiled slyly, "Mr. Drake, I am going to propose to the Secretary of the Navy to call female officers on board, do you think the Secretary will agree?"

　　 "Get a group of English ladies on board? Then you have to prepare fresh carrots in the cabin."

　　 "Carrot..." Nelson couldn't help but think of the exaggerated makeup of the lady of the house, "Damn it, the hatch can't pass through a half-meter-high wig."

　　 "Then you won't be able to recruit ladies who are willing to go on the boat, but there are some peasant women."

　　 "It seems that the first proposal in my life is going to die." Nelson nodded depressedly, and greeted the two of Lorraine to enter the side hall, "What to drink? Tea, coffee, or rum?"

　　 "Coffee." Lorraine raised Erlang's legs, "I hope the respected lieutenant colonel has the authentic Blue Mountain in his hands. If not, I will send someone a bucket of high-quality one."

　　 "Then have tea." Nelson smiled freely. "The businessman's mouth is too ugly, so I won't be ugly."

　　 The two laughed.

　　 More than half of the greeting, the fragrant Darjeeling was served, with fresh milk, cane sugar and some crude pastries.

　　 Lorraine held the milk jug to add milk slowly, wondering which angle is more suitable to get to the point.

　　Who expected Nelson to be far more positive than he thought.

　　 Before the tea was adjusted, the young lieutenant colonel smiled and said, "You know? You came a little too late."

"How to say?"

"I originally planned to introduce you to Sir Parker, so I talked to him about your situation. But I seem to be superfluous. Sir knows you. He and the deceased Lieutenant General Drake were friends in the military and worked together on a ship. It's not a short time."

　　 Lorraine heard Nelson's blame, and explained with a smile: "Jazz has friendship with his late father, but his late father doesn't like bringing colleagues to the house, so I don't know Jazz and I have no intention of concealing it."

　　 "It turned out to be like this..." Nelson was a little regretful. "The Jazz values ​​you very much. I heard that you have come to the New World and even wanted to see you. Unfortunately, when you came, he went out to Hamilton."

　　 "Hamilton, Bermuda?"

　　 "Preside over the appointment ceremony for your brother."

　　 "It turned out to be the front stop for Major General Drake."

　　 Nelson frowned: "You have a bad relationship with your brother?"

"It's not worth mentioning a little friction." Lorraine waved his hand indifferently. "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I am going to set up the branch headquarters in Kingston, and maybe some properties. If the Jazz has something to say, you can easily find me. ."

　　 The topic is broken down just right.

　　 The communication between Nelson and Lorraine was based on Nelson's employment needs. The fighter feats were fleeting, and Lorraine's permanent presence in Kingston was of course a huge benefit for him.

　　 He immediately left behind the Drake brothers’ parents, and asked enthusiastically: "Listen to what you mean, do you plan to stay in Kingston?"

"To be precise, I stayed in Kingston for a relatively long time." Lorraine adjusted the tea and took a sip. "I am a person who can't stay idle. The Caribbean is so fascinating. There are too many unknown unknowns here. Let me explore, how can I enjoy life lazily?"

　　 "Are you still an explorer?"

　　 "Just active and curious."

　　 "Then what will your chamber of commerce do?"

"Hire someone." Lorraine took it for granted. "If the person you recommend for me is difficult to be alone, I will continue to look for talents who can do it alone. The charm of capital lies in the fact that I can hire competent people to do what he is good at. Free myself and do the work I love."

　　 "Like Uncle Odilan said, you really are a strange businessman." Nelson let out a laugh, "It's just that, I don't know if the person I recommend is up to the task."

　　 "I believe your vision~lightnovelpub.net~ Lorraine complimented, "And judging talents is my job, and I also believe in my own judgment. "

　　 "I can rest assured."

　　 Nelson nodded, stood up and took two pieces of parchment to Lorraine.

Lorraine took it with both hands and glanced at it: "Captain Chuck Parker, formerly the quartermaster of the New World Fleet, 26 years old; Lieutenant Richard Cortrens, formerly the second mate of the Badger, 28 years old, this is you. The talent selected for me?"

Nelson drew out the second piece of paper and solemnly said: "Lieutenant Cortrance is my second mate. He is diligent, practical and familiar with Caribbean seas and ports. He is about to get married. The woman is the owner of a small manor in Jamaica. Some snobbery. For future marriage considerations, he needs a decent and wealthy job. I think under your command, he can make the woman forget his poor family."

　　 "He seems to be an excellent seaman." Lorraine shook another piece of paper in his hand, "What about Mr. Parker?"

"This..." Nelson laughed helplessly, "savvy and skilled, good reputation. He is the nephew of Sir Parker, a top student of the London Business School, and a clerk in the Quartermaster Department. Such a character is not a small one for me. The lieutenant colonel can arrange it at will. In fact, he was chosen by the Jazz for you."

　　 "Sir wants his nephew to work in my chamber of commerce?"

　　 Nelson shrugged: "I heard that Captain Parker is not in the military. Although his performance is impeccable, he has submitted six applications for dismissal after three years in the military. This time, the Jazz satisfied him."

　　 Lorraine's head rose up suddenly: "Do you know? You gave me a problem."

　　 "I know." Nelson smiled clearly, "However, difficulties and opportunities often coexist, and there is no free lunch in the world. What do you mean? Mr. Drake."
