【smuggling! smuggling! 】

[The double-knife tyrant erected a lighthouse on the sea, and brought the dawn of freedom to North America in the darkest place! 】

This is a Christmas gift given to Lorraine by the crappy poet Hamilton during the smuggling round of Christmas in 1780. It uses a fine oriental silk as a carrier and is combined with a beautiful flower body that is pleasing to the eye and a private seal of Hamilton only for close friends. Poetry.

The title of the poem is "The Friendship Presented to Edward Kenway, Thinking of Freedom and Dedication in the Bay of Wind Speed", which typically belongs to the series of dung works whose title is longer than the main text.

However, this purple-eyed young man is the most shining political star in the United States in recent years. It is not only a political ally that John Adams valued, but also served as the Chief Purchasing Officer of the Continental Army in Baltimore while taking into account the status of a Washington attaché.

In 1780, the materials purchased by him accounted for 72% of the Continental Army’s total munitions assembly, 37% of the military uniforms, 19% of the medicine storage and distribution, and 7% of the livestock and food reserves. The Continental Army General Logistics Office in Philadelphia has made the entire United States awe-inspiring.

He is destined to be flat.

Considering only from the perspective of political investment, although the quality of the poem itself is disgusting, Lorraine framed it and hung it in a prominent position in the captain's room.

However... now Lorraine feels that he seems to be too eye-catching. After all, Alexander Hamilton, not George Washington or John Smith, at least in 1781, his signature is far from being so popular. .

Today is the settlement day. In the water tank of the Kenway Business Group in New Orleans, Earl Galvez uninvitedly boarded the road sign and visited his captain's room without any preparation for Lorraine.

Hamilton's poems caught his attention the first time. He read with appreciation and thought about feelings. The more he reads, the more he reads, the more he reads, the more he reads intermittently.

It wasn't until the third time that he was sure that he hadn't missed any deep meaning in the poem, and then he turned his head in embarrassment.

"Kenway, this... is it poetry?"

"It's a peace talisman, a spell handwritten by an American wizard. It has the magical effect of eliminating disasters. Since hanging it, the road sign has not been fired for eight consecutive months. It is a powerful magic item that I have only seen in my life. "

"Oh, it turned out to be a spell..."

Galvez consciously put the bad atmosphere of limericks behind him, and walked to the wine cabinet in Lorraine to pick out the Chateau Margaux: "Perfect Chateau Margaux, with mature blackcurrants, spicy vanilla and Violet aroma, Kenway, you have successfully acquired a taste for wine."

"It's just expensive." Lorraine expressed a fallacy from the perspective of a farmer. "Compared to making wine with grapes, I still think corn-based whiskey tastes better, especially Kentucky, which is the only one that surpasses Louisiana in my mind. Good wine for hometown wine."

Galves was dumbfounded: "But there is only one bottle of Scottish whiskey in your wine cabinet. I can't see a bottle of the hometown wine and Kentucky in your mouth."

"They are in the kitchen. The real wine is not for display. It is drunk in oak barrels at any time."

This kind of dialogue has happened between the two of them many times. Edward Kenway played by Lorraine is cunning and decisive. He is a peasant who is particularly keen, lacks cultivation and is good at acting.

Galves often couldn't tell whether that was the real Kenway, handsome or vulgar, but one thing was certain. If Kenway had a more noble background, he would definitely be a qualified gentleman to admire, because only by virtue of his exquisiteness He has almost done this with his acting skills.

"Kenway, do you know why I want to meet with you alone today?"

"Probably because of business." Lorraine stood up, took the Margaux Manor from Galves, opened it, and poured a drink for himself and him, "Is our queen finally willing to expand the army's arms purchase share? I think she is as wise as she should have seen. Now is the last golden period of smuggling. In a few months, the Americans may no longer need Charville from France."

"It's a pity, you guessed wrong."

Galves took a sip of the wine, savoring the soft aroma of wine that filled the taste buds, peeling off the unique fragrance of Margaux, layer by layer.

"As you said, our allies have begun a full counterattack."

"In January, Horatio Gates led the British to Cowpens, South Carolina, and ate his prey clean with a huge bag. In March, it was the great Gates again. In Guildford, North Carolina, the British were beaten out. Poor Cornwallis could only flee north to Virginia, and completely lost the victory Clinton had won over the past two years."

"Our intelligence officer said that Clinton was so angry that he broke the cup. He forced Cornwallis to attack the Lafayette Division of the Continental Army in Virginia, which was still under reorganization, but Lafayette had received more information from us than Conwall. Liss got the order from the messenger earlier, and easily got rid of the British chase."

"On the other hand, Washington replaced Gates with Nathaniel Green, who is more adept at attacking fortifications. The Southern Continental Army marched forward and regained all southern territories except Savannah and Gilston in just over three months. ."

Galves looked at Lorraine with a smile: "Kenway, although the attendant in Washington did not have the talent to write poetry, but his words were very sincere. From July 1779 to the present, 24 months, you The miraculous performance almost used his own power to arm the entire Continental Army."

"The Americans are not what they used to be, Kenway. Washington now has the Green Department, Gates Department, Lafayette Department and Headquarters, totaling more than 20 elite grenadier regiments and at least 40 line soldiers. Even if we lose ours. Support, they will no longer have the ability to resist in front of the British as they were at the beginning of the war."

"You are a hero, an American hero."

Galvez's speech was over. After listening to his long speech, Lorraine frowned and asked: "Count, I don't seem to hear any appreciation from your mouth."

Galvez shrugged: "I know that it is your magical performance that makes me earn a lot of money. I am the top rich man with millions of industries and millions of cash, even if the Galves family is not like those old domestic brands. As a nobleman, I have a profound background, but being rich has made me a new star in the First Council. No one can underestimate my opinion."

"However, it is also because of your efficiency in making money. I hate the speed at which you make the United States stronger. The war is about to end, Kenway, where do you let me make such a huge profit?"

Lorraine squinted: "But the United States is already strong. Even if I replace my agent now and let those idiots go to Shaq Drake's round defense to die, the Americans will not return the guns they got. In the hands of France."

"Who knows? The queen met me in Fontainebleau last month and told me that the water will flow long."

"So you have listened to the Queen's wise advice and intend to formally terminate our cooperation?"

"Don't talk like crossing a river and breaking a bridge. It doesn't make me feel guilty." Galves played with his glass. "It's like the queen said. The basis of business should be based on the needs of both parties, not purely. Friendship or something beautiful."

"You see, we have a good cooperation for 24 months. During this period, your profit is not less than mine. However, the Kenway Business Group is still the Kenway Business Group. Without registration, without identity, you did not even buy more ships. Of course, a perfect boat like a road sign is indeed unforgettable."

"You bought a shipyard in Boston. As far as we know, the largest business partner of that shipyard is the Continental Congress. A five-class new ship."

"There are also those 32-pound guns that people have to care about. You bought 64 32-pound guns through me. You said those guns are for self-defense, but someone told me that there is no thirty Two pounds. I can’t help wondering where they are? If they end up on American ships, I won’t be surprised, but I’ll feel embarrassed.”

Galves sighed: "In short, Kenway, your relationship with the Americans, especially the U.S. military, is really good. It is so good that it is far beyond what France can accept, just like a real American. Human, a freedom fighter. This is the main reason for today's conversation. We need to reassess the relationship between the two parties."

"How to evaluate?"

Galves took a roll of parchment from his arms and Jane handed it to Lorraine again.

"This is a call-up order. Because of the growth of the Continental Army, France believes that the War of Independence has the conditions for a decisive victory. Count Rochambeau suggested that Mr. Washington launch a broad and prolonged offensive in Virginia, relying on the already stabilized South to start a decisive battle in the North."

"There will also be some support at sea. Count De Grasse brought a powerful reinforcement fleet from homeland, which had arrived in Martinique ten days ago. They will depart from Fort-de-France and forcefully cut into the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay with a A decisive battle at sea completely broke the long-term British blockade of the United States."

"This will be the most critical battle. Victory, the American allies will truly gain independence with the help of the great France, and the British will leave the rich thirteen states forever. This will make our Majesty rejoice. And if we lose Now, Mr. Washington will probably step down. The family business accumulated by the Americans in the past two years will be exhausted. The smuggling will continue for a long time. This will make our queen happy again."

"All you have to do is to participate in this war, join the Count of De Grasse's fleet, prove your loyalty to France from the battlefield, and strive for a greater future..."

"There shouldn't be a future, right." Lorraine interrupted Galvez with a smile, "The road marking is so special that it can't even do standard side shelling. What can she do in such a naval battle? Does his delicate body block the artillery fire for Earl De Grasse?"

Galves's smile froze on his face, and he subconsciously avoided his sight, thinking that he secretly avoided looking directly at Lorraine.

"Kenway, Earl de Grasse is an excellent naval officer. He will find the unique use of road markings. As a French pioneer, you shouldn't think of your homeland so despicable."

"The motherland... is not despicable." Lorraine was silent for a moment, and handed the call-up order back to Galvez. This resulted in France’s diplomatic passiveness. This relationship needs to be erased. This is the practice of being responsible for everyone."

"I refuse to be recruited." Lorraine flatly narrowed his mouth. "But the motherland, as a patriotic businessman, how can I make my motherland in a dilemma?"

"Within one month I will sell all the properties of the Kenway Business Group, including road signs, water storage, land storage, berths, villas in New Orleans, my estate and plantation in Louisiana, and Haight in Boston. shipyard."

"Before the decisive battle begins, Edward Kenway will completely disappear in this world, and all the contracts between us will appear on your desk, just like I was sunk in an upcoming naval battle."

Galves stared at Lorraine in a daze: "You...are you serious?"

"I have known each other for three years~lightnovelpub.net~Have I lied to you?"

"Where are you going to find such a generously funded merchant in just a month?"

"Businessmen will always have friends abroad. I will probably split the industry into several pieces. The British, French, Spanish, Dutch... the more mixed the sales, the less likely it will be to see the clues in the future."

"Then where are you going?"

"Me?" Lorraine pretended to think for a while, "The East Coast is a beautiful place, not to mention the magnificent Pacific Ocean connecting the mysterious East. I think I will go there with my money. And memories, never come back again... won't you help me to have a smooth journey?"

"I wish... I wish you... a good journey."
