Time flies, and two months are fleeting.

The Jackdaw’s ship shadow appeared in Baltimore’s harbour for the seventh time. Although it has not yet officially berthed into the almost exclusive No. 3 water tank, it has undoubtedly announced the first contract cycle of Lorraine smuggling, with a total of two contract rounds. And an additional round of smuggling activities officially ended.

This contract lasted for three months from the beginning of July to the end of September. Lorraine handed over 6,300 Charleville rifles, 3,400 Dragoon pistols, and 24 new light guns to the Continental Army, which is enough to build two more generously. One elite grenadier regiment and three standard line private regiments.

The Americans paid 782400 pounds for this, of which 186,480 pounds belonged to the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and the expenses were eliminated, and Lorraine alone was 108,000 pounds, which directly caused his cash flow to exceed 110,000 pounds, approaching 120,000.

This is the most cash-rich moment in Lorraine's business career. The controllable funds include his own 120,000, Pierce 20,000 and Hina 6,000, totaling about 150,000 pounds, which is equivalent to more than one ton of gold.

The seafarers are also full of pours. Like Hina, they each get one-ninth of the 30% of the Chamber of Commerce's profit, totaling 6,000 pounds, and the average monthly income is 2,000 pounds, far exceeding the Caribbean branch before the opening of the ocean.

Comparing the entire large-scale chamber of commerce with personal power, the smuggling profits are simply breathtaking.

Of course, the sailors on the Jackdaw are also benefit-sharers.

Doing the most dangerous job and taking the highest salary was Lorraine's promise to them. Although he did not give the sailors special treatment in the contract, because of his wealth, the promised bonus would never be delayed.

The annual salary for each contract round is half a year, and a cycle is rounded up to one year. The total number of people on board is 200 people, and the total amount is only more than 5,000 pounds.

This number is certainly a drop in the comparison between Lorraine and the sailors, but for these ordinary sailors, it is enough to make everyone's money bag bulge.

The thickness of a purse has always been proportional to a person's endurance.

The pie that Lorraine drew was realized one by one, and the sailors were so excited and courageous that they forgot the exhaustion accumulated on the body without realizing it.

The black-hearted capitalists were still worried about the health of the crew at first, but as time passed, Jinshan was on the bank, and even Lorraine was energetic, immersed in the joy of harvest.

It was not until the fifth round of smuggling that the two sailors fainted and fell into the water during the voyage.

Hou was afraid that Lorraine's skull was printed.

Since then, he abandoned the principle of pure monetary incentives, and forcibly added shifts and rotations in addition to the rest break, that is, one-fifth of the crew rests on shore in each round, and the ship's operating positions are replaced by three shifts.

The reduction of companions and the flow of personnel made the Jackdaw become clumsy for a certain period of time.

In the sixth round of smuggling, Captain Karen took turns, and the Jackdaw made two mistakes in the process of avoiding the circle, which almost activated the defense mechanism.

Fortunately, Lorraine was holding perhaps the most tactic against Shaq in the world, supplemented by Emmons' extremely dedicated intelligence.

Moreover, since Shaq entered the rotation period of the Continental Squadron, the operation of the formation has become lazy, and the coordination level has dropped drastically.

The smuggling routes in the Chesapeake Bay are much more lively in August and September than in July. The clumsy Jackdaw was mixed in among them, unexpectedly relied on speed and experience to rush into the bay mouth, and successfully survived the throes of the new system without paying any price.

By the time of the seventh smuggling, the Jackdaw's movements were much smoother, and finally passed through the bay mouth without any surprises and entered the bustling dock in Baltimore.

Looking at the ships coming and going completely different from July, Lorraine said with emotion: "In April, Galvez said that the return rate of this route was less than 20%. I thought it was alarmist. Now I want to come, April, In July and October, it was Shaq's door that was 20% of the return rate, and Galves was probably mixed with water."

Katerina and Karen nodded in agreement.

Catalina said: "But thanks to that special time period, otherwise, with the current smuggling success rate, it would not be so easy for the earl to hand over the exclusive management to us."

"Blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes come from blessings. This is the truth."

Lorraine didn't expect his two acting captains to understand Chinese, so he said something to himself, flipping his hands and handing them the new information.

"Before going to sea, Bell got the Bermuda patrol round from October to December. Next month is Shaq's blockade round. I am going to suspend my rotation and only keep the job rotation."

He sighed.

"The Jackdaw's sailors are of poor quality. The Golden Deer is too far away. A few of them don't even tie the basic knots. The only two strengths are bravery and no seasickness."

"Although after twenty days of rotation, they are barely able to do the job when avoiding rounds, but when Shaq sits and blocks the formation..."

"In short, you have to consider the order of replacement when you are scheduling. Remember that the Jackdaw's best condition is to avoid combat as much as possible, not to wait for fighters and seek victory."

The two nodded solemnly.

After a while, the American **** ships posted up from both sides, and the sailors and sailors stood on the gunwale and greeted them intimately, attracting the attention of the merchant ships.

In Baltimore, warship **** has become a unique symbol of the Jackdaw. Even if the smuggling is picking up in the past two months, and the ships in the port are frequent, the Jackdaw still enjoys the honor. It does not look like a smuggler, but like a hero obsessed by the Americans.

But the Jackdaw does look like a hero.

Seven times in the past three months, the Jackdaw can visit Hong Kong on time, regardless of whether God favors Americans or not.

It monopolizes the arms trade in Baltimore. Obviously it is the most dangerous and irritable smuggling, but the hull that was not glamorous in the past has never been scarred.

Although its sailors are vulgar, they are all positive and upward, and there is no other ship's disappointment that does not know tomorrow's affairs today.

To put it bluntly, the Jackdaw illuminates Baltimore's belief in victory. In an era when the entire 13 Continents were in confusion and could not find a way to win, only the Baltimores believed in victory and that the Americans would dominate their own future.

The Jackdaw deserves such an honor!

The three ships are parallel, the water lines are intertwined, and the swaying track goes from the harbor all the way to the port area~lightnovelpub.net~Lorraine saw the semaphore "Welcome Home" on the American warships, and then, the sailor at the bow of the ship Shout.

"Pilot docking is complete, the channel is clear! Semaphore, old rules, warehouse three!"

"Left rudder ten degrees, rewind!"

"The distance is 150, vertical!"

"The water gate is confirmed and the water gate is opened. The berth is confirmed, and the berth is good!"

"The rope group, the mooring group is ready! The emergency brace is ready!"

"It takes one minute to enter the warehouse!"

"Pilot's semaphore: Today's dinner is beef stew with potatoes and enough wine. Welcome home, brother!"

"The bow cuts into the dripping eaves, and the Jackdaw enters the warehouse!"

"Enter the port!"
