Following the push of the waves, the Jackdaw’s bow lightly slammed into the sandbags tied to the pier facade, and the sound of the collision was dull and faint.

This faintness is like the sound of a starting gun.

The starting gun sounded, and two thick cables were immediately dropped from the towering bow.

The dock worker waiting next chanted the rope and dragged the rope, tied the knot on the stake.

At the same time, the two anchor chains sank into the water, and soon they touched the muddy shoal at the bottom of the water.

The flat board connected the freeboard and the plank road together, and Lorraine stepped off the boat slowly and ejected an octagonal gold coin at the pilot from a distance.

"I like your semaphore, sir."

The pilot smiled and put the gold coin into his pocket, and greeted Lorraine under the flag.

"Mr. Kenway, that was a semaphore negotiated by the airline. We don't think we need to be polite to our family, and politeness will only hurt the affection."

"A wise decision. My crew likes it very much. Please express my gratitude to your class." Lorraine gave a gift. "By the way, there is a bunch of French red wine on board. Now that you have prepared a banquet, please be sure to drink and drink. Let me provide it."

"This is great news!" The pilot was overjoyed. "Mr. Kenway, the Colonel Hamilton is waiting for you in the management office."

"I see, goodbye, sir."

"goodbye."

Along the road, avoiding the workers who gathered on the plank road, Lorraine came to the management office in the corner of the water bin alone.

When the door was opened, Hamilton was pouring wine.

"Old rules, whiskey and ice?" he asked.

"Of course, your wine is not easy to drink." Lorraine pulled away the chair and threw himself to the table comfortably. "The 7-cabin ammunition and the 4-cabin military uniform are free. Please accept it. ."

Hamilton skillfully pushed the glass in front of Lorraine.

"Even if the value of the goods is limited, the end of each contract round can best let us feel Mr. Kenway's sincerity and goodwill to the United States. You risked your life to bring us hope. This, everyone in the Continental Congress Remember it all in my heart."

"It feels really good to have to compare without using the baht." Lorraine laughed loudly. "Colonel, then the next round of contract will continue?"

"Regarding this matter……"

"What? There is a problem?"

"It's not what you think." Hamilton waved his hand apologetically, "I don't have the authorization to talk specifically, Kenway, Mr. Adams wants to see you."

...

John Adams, a hot political star in the United States, an independent leader deeply hated by the United Kingdom, an outstanding diplomat active in Britain and France, a federalist community leader, a member of the Continental Parliament, a member of the Drafting Committee of the Declaration of Independence, and the military procurement responsibility of Baltimore Man, a close friend of Mr. George Washington.

Since the first smuggling, Lorraine was ready to meet with him, but the actual contact with Lorraine has always been Hamilton and a pudgy business official.

The invitation to meet came suddenly.

Of course, Lorraine would not refuse to communicate face-to-face with such a big man, but the timing, the reason, and the so-called problems that Hamilton had hesitated to talk about made him feel compelled.

While caring, while not knowing it, I don't know where things will go.

It's just that evasion is definitely the worst idea...

Changing clothes, renovating, and hiring a carriage. Accompanied by Hamilton, Lorraine and Carmen, dressed in costumes, went out together, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous small villa on the outskirts of the city.

The simple small villas, red roofs, white walls, similar to rectangular projections, no fancy attachments and gardens, only a clean barn and stables not far away reflect it, perfectly in line with John Adams [Simple 】Political person setting.

In front of the door stood two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, of similar height. The man is a short and fat official Lorraine has seen many times, and the woman is wearing a dark purple dress with a wide hat and veil, and she has a dignified and elegant demeanor.

Carmen smiled pleasantly.

The dress she chose today is off-white. Although it is not clear whether the person waiting under the car is the host or the guest, at least Carmen is decent in terms of dress. Let's play

When the car door opened, Lorraine jumped out of the car and reached out to hold Carmen. The two stood arm in arm in front of the two welcoming guests, and Colonel Hamilton walked over and stood between the two sides.

"Kenway, this is Mrs. Adams. Madam, he is America's most steadfast friend, Edward Kenway."

Abigail Smith Adams smiled and stretched out his hand, Lorraine bent over and hooked it with his fingertips, leaned close, and kissed the Wuhua ring on her ring finger slightly apart.

"I've heard of your name, madam, that paying attention to women's rights is a topic that every gentleman needs to cherish. There are many outstanding female seafarers on my ship, and every one of them controls the life and death of the entire ship."

"It is not my pursuit to let delicate women bear the sea breeze, Mr. Kenway." Abigail retorted with a smile, "I always feel that women need to take on social responsibilities like men, but it is unnecessary to force themselves to work with men. ."

"This is the problem. Men's social status is rewarded. Without contact with these, women's speeches will not be able to escape the nest of gender, and they will not be able to win widespread recognition."

Abigail frowned: "The so-called broad identification is in the hands of men, and it is as tolerant as you. Can you imagine the cumbersome life in the kitchen and the cumbersomeness of raising children?"

"I am still unmarried and have no children. You cannot expect me to have a say in the topic of the next generation. But when it comes to kitchens, the world’s most delicious Chinese and French kitchens are men’s world, and my ship’s cook is also a man. The second and third values ​​are also male."

"Arrogant! Successful men seem to be like this." Abigail dissatisfied.

Lorraine laughed: "This is not arrogance, it is dedication and the self-confidence that comes with it, madam."

The brief confrontation ended, Hamilton rolled his eyes and raised his hand to point to Carmen.

"John, this is Miss Carmen. You are old friends. She is an excellent debater no less than your wife. Ms. Carmen, Mr. John Adams, the general manager of military procurement in Baltimore."

Lorraine and Carmen frowned at the same time.

But only for a moment, Carmen had adjusted his smile and stretched out a catkin toward Adams.

"Mr. Member, your identity can be hidden really deep."

Adams gently squeezed Carmen's hand, and the gentleman apologized to Lorraine.

"Kenway, the United States is a new country, and it is far from rich enough to perform its duties in terms of manpower."

"Is this an explanation, Mr. Congressman who concealed his identity?"

"It's an explanation." Adams didn't evade. "My main battlefield is in Europe. Baltimore originally took care of it. I plan to entrust it to Alexander next year. Who knows you have appeared."

He glanced at Colonel Hamilton: "Considering that you are in charge of most of the munitions needed by the Continental Army, once a stable channel is formed, you will become our most important friend. I think it is necessary for the future military procurement responsible person to be with you first. Get acquainted. This is good for you and America."

"Once a stable channel is formed?" Lorraine smiled, "It seems that you didn't trust me much before."

"Not now, to be honest." Adams sighed. "I am a realist. While I am grateful for God's blessing of America, I am also prepared to never return."

"Because God never interferes with the laws of human development, right?"

Adams raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It seems that you know much more about me than I know about you."

"Are you surprised?"

The men are chatting about ~lightnovelpub.net~ The lady next to the chat circle suddenly exclaimed that it was Abigail.

"My God, John! It's a theological essay written by Isaac. See what Miss Carmen has brought us!"

"The omniscient businessman..." Adams muttered vaguely on Latin.

Lorraine subconsciously wanted to pick up the stubbornness, and when the words came to his lips, he was suddenly shocked.

Bad! It's going to be cold!

When Qian Jun made the shot, Carmen suddenly chuckled and saved the scene.

"Madam, is it a manifestation of patriarchy to let a lady stand outside the house? I have never tried to stand for so long, my legs are sore."

The whole audience laughed.

Adams patted Lorraine's arm and walked out of the hall behind him.

"Go to the house, Kenway. If we continue to talk like this, it's time for the Baltimore lady to drink tea in the kitchen."
