The new smuggling contract with Baltimore was signed smoothly, including the additional agreement drafted by Lorraine, but it was approved by John Adams at noon and was incorporated into the official text.

　　 In the reception room of the water tank, Lorraine signed Edward Kenway's name on behalf of the supplier, and Hamilton replaced John Adams, who had never officially appeared in front of Lorraine, and became the direct representative of the Continental Army.

　　 In duplicate, the contract will be renewed upon completion, and both parties have equal rights to terminate the renewal at any time, and also undertake the obligation to jointly complete the current contract.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

　　 After a simple ceremony, this sheepskin roll that is more expensive than Jinshan became Lorraine's pocket.

　　 The strong American soldiers began to unload the arms on the ship in an orderly and rapid manner, and at the same time replaced them with soybeans and corn, filling the entire cabin with these two low-priced grains.

　　 This is Lorraine's request. On the return journey, they will become Jackdaw's amulet.

　　Since the beginning of the War of Independence, smuggling activities in Central, North America and the Caribbean have exhibited a peculiar valve characteristic, that is, unimpeded from North America to the Caribbean islands, and the islands have struggled to move toward the mainland.

　　The latter situation is in line with the world's perception of the situation in the New World.

　　 In the North American war, what is needed is either arms or other war-related materials. Britain is like a dragon entrenched in the sea, and of course it does not want to let things that are unfavorable to the British flow into the hands of the rebels.

　　 The former situation has greatly exceeded many people's expectations.

　　Land Island Trade...

　　 Different from purely legal or illegal, this import and export trade is dressed in a humanitarian cloak, and it has long been an open illegality hidden under the surface of legal water.

　　The Caribbean Islands may be the most developed colonial area in the world today. The limited land is lined with plantations, and the plantations are full of economic crops with good returns.

　　Because white people are not allowed, the people on the island lose the qualification to produce and sell themselves. Looking at it, there is little agricultural land, and grain, daily consumption, and even fresh water need to be imported from outside the island.

　　 Rigid demand constitutes the backbone of trade, a universal smuggling business that is difficult to make huge profits, has low entry barriers, and relatively low risks, and is particularly suitable for all citizens to participate in.

　　 This business has been popular since immigrants entered the New World. Today, its scale and status have far surpassed the offshore trade of Northwest Europe, feeding thousands of New World maritime merchants.

　　 As long as it is something that can be drifted, it can be smuggled, as long as it is smuggling, it can make money, as long as it can make money, it can buy a boat, as long as it can buy a boat, there will be something that can be drifted, a perfect closed loop.

　　 More importantly, the groups of sharks that are rampant in the waters of the New World are generally kind to the smuggling of daily consumption.

　　 Few pirates attack these smugglers with limited profits. The navies of various countries rely on their livelihoods, and they can help.

　　 Even if, like Shaq, he blocked the Chesapeake Bay mouth based on strategy, he still could not easily attack daily-consuming ships.

　　The reason is very simple, because Bermuda is also one of the destinations of land-island trade. Once this opening is completely blocked, Shaq will first face the major problem of fleet supply.

　　 This gave Lorraine an opportunity.

　　 July 8, 1779, sunset. Flying a special flag with corn and wheat motifs that are unique to the day-consuming ship, the Jackdaw departed from Baltimore and swaggered toward the tightly sealed bay mouth.

　　 The facts were as he expected, at the mouth of the narrow bay, the Jackdaw, which passed the Lion’s field of vision, didn’t suffer any trouble.

　　 During the next journey south, they were only subjected to two routine inspections by the patrolling British ships, and they simply got the order to let them go before they even had time to pay bribes.

　　 They were racing on the calm sea and completed the entire voyage from Baltimore to New Orleans in only four and a half days. When it was officially sailing to the harbor of New Orleans, everyone on board let out a long sigh of relief.

　　 "The next two days, rest, and all people except those on duty are allowed to move freely. At 7 am on July 15th, the Jackdaw will leave Hong Kong on time, so remember not to wait until it expires."

　　 After announcing the order, Lorraine handed over the three copied tactical manuals one by one to Katerina, Bell, and Karen.

　　 "Take it with you and read it carefully. This will be our main business for a long time in the future, and it's a matter of life and death for the entire ship."

　　 The three of them nodded heavily.

　　 Lorraine knows that his seafarers are all people who can distinguish the importance and importance. No matter how important things are, he doesn't need to talk endlessly.

　　 So he laughed briskly.

"Next, Bell remembers to ask Pierce to sign up for the contract. Karen removed the excess firepower from the ship according to the discussion on the road. Catalina went to Old Barry to receive the latest information... Carmen, prepare a carriage, we have to Hurry to Baton Rouge as soon as possible. The earl is our golden baby, so don't neglect him."

　　……

　　 Half a day later, Galves Manor.

　　 During this time, the earl’s manor was a little lacking in spectacle.

　　 This was originally the place he temporarily bought when he took office to the New World, and the specifications and taste couldn't match his esteem.

　　 After all, he had no plans to stay in the New World for a long time. He just wanted to end this unlucky term early, so as to squeeze into the princely place he yearned for.

　　 No one would have thought that the barren New France could become his place of prosperity.

　　 Looking back, first British General Clinton went south, leading the center of the war from the north to the current south.

　　 Then, New Orleans became the target of the British, and the elite Red Army uniforms swarmed with the overwhelming Indians.

　　 The stupid Spain and the more stupid Baton Rouge Legion joined forces to push him into a dead end. In order not to become a sinner in France, the Earl had to gritted his teeth and embarked on the biggest adventure of his life.

Stop smuggling, stop a huge business that is creating profits for the entire French aristocracy, and dare to use that golden mountain of interests as bait to turn the entire Baton Rouge Legion and tens of thousands of smugglers into him. Marionette in hand.

　　 That period is really the darkest moment of life.

　　 Like walking on thin ice, I woke up from my dream every midnight. The same painting is broadcast in my dream, a guillotine standing on the banks of the Seine.

　　 That's when the earl finally got his head.

　　 A little patriotism is worthless. To create glory for France, he must first learn to survive.

　　 In the days after that, the earl began to manage a retreat for himself.

　　 With some connections in the mainland in his early years, he quickly contacted Queen Mary. The wife dissipated the wealth accumulated in the family for several generations, and then barely managed to gain a foothold next to the lady, and became a member of the distinguished ladies' corps.

　　The queen is a favored one.

After possessing her kindness, everything began to develop towards a good place, including the sinister assassination that scarred the corners of his eyebrows. It was in that assassination that he met Edward Kenway, a peculiar smuggling merchant. ~lightnovelpub.net~ Then there is nothing to memorize, a natural success, a natural victory, he prepared enough reasons for the queen, and the queen rewarded him with fruitful results.

　　In Fontainebleau, he crossed the class divide with that nectar-like victory and joined the sacred First Council. The fief was in this seemingly desolate but actually rich Louisiana.

　　 He became a master, the lord of this land, the leading aristocratic master in France. The original manor no longer fits his identity. Thousands of acres of land have been gathered. The new, luxurious mansion has only laid a thin foundation. First release https://https://

　　 How long will it take to move into a new house that meets the status?

　　 Count Galves imagined, and suddenly heard the hasty footsteps of the housekeeper.

"What's wrong?"

　　 "Master, Mr. Kenway is here!"

　　 "Kenway? Edward Kenway?"

　　 The butler had never heard of Lorraine's pseudonym before. Seeing the count's astonishment, the first reaction was that Lorraine was a liar.

　　 He tentatively asked: "Master, this Mr. Kenway said that he had an appointment with you two weeks ago. If it is fake..."

　　 "Make an appointment?" Earl Rumeng wakes up, "He is talking about an appointment, not a report?"

　　 "It's an appointment," the butler affirmed, "If you don't want to see him..."

　　 "No, bring him in! Mr. Kenway is my guest. That appointment... Appointment... Yes, I remember, it did happen."
