Perhaps the sea-holding operation has really exhausted God's favor for Nelson, and he has had a very difficult time over the years.

　　 In 1780, he died in the sea-carrying operation, and he returned to London on the Prairie Lion in Cornwallis for medical treatment.

　　 After careful care, he returned to his hometown and stayed idle until September 1781, when the Admiralty assigned him a new position.

　　 He was assigned to the home fleet and became the captain of the frigate HMS Albemarle, responsible for the maintenance of trade routes in the North Sea.

　　 But the North Sea is too calm.

　　 Britain, France, the Netherlands, as well as second-class Russia and Nordic countries all gather in that small fishing pond, and powerful fleets deter and contain each other.

　　 Every time before going to sea, Nelson would be given orders by the admiral, asking him to restrain, to be patient, and never to have any form of friction with his "friendly neighbors."

Nelson, who was accustomed to the wild in the New World, quickly got tired of such a shackled life. He took advantage of the holiday to find his uncle, Lorraine’s business partner Shacklen, and bought him the opportunity to return to the New World with a large price. .

　　 In April 1782, he was assigned to **** a convoy of materials across the Atlantic Ocean to St. Lawrence, Newfoundland for a supply mission, and then set off from there to Boston to investigate the status of the shipbuilding industry in the New World.

　　 He is very satisfied with this new position. He is directly under the staff of the Admiralty Department. He has one fifth-class ship and two sixth-class ships under his command.

　　 More importantly, the General Staff gave him a full year of mission time, but it was clear that there was only one mission.

　　 That is to say, from the end of the supply to the return to London, he will have considerable power to dispose of it temporarily, and after returning to China, he only needs to provide a review report on the shipbuilding industry of the New World.

　　 In Nelson's view, this is not a problem at all!

　　 But he communicates with Lorraine every month. If he wants to know the current situation of New World's shipbuilding industry, what other means can be more perfect than directly interviewing industry leaders?

　　 However, joy is extreme, and sorrow is born.

　　 Nelson devoted all his energy to the planning of free movement time, and unconsciously ignored the situation in North America at that time.

　　 After the Chesapeake Bay naval battle, Britain turned to a full defensive position in North American oceans. Except for a few warships ordered to stay in Bermuda, the most powerful Continental Squadron almost completely retracted into the port of Newfoundland.

　　 France dominates the entire North American ocean.

In order to exert greater pressure on the British representatives in the Paris peace talks, and to cut off the Royal Navy’s supplies, and prevent this powerful fleet from turning over the situation, the French deployed more than fifty warships on routes related to Newfoundland. The method of besieging the city with iron barrels trapped Newfoundland into a real island.

　　 Nelson's small fleet led a dozen fully loaded transport ships headlong into the eye of the storm.

　　 In the sea less than 200 kilometers from the Port of St. Lawrence, he was besieged by four third-tier battleships of the French Fleet.

　　 The end of the war had not even begun. If it weren’t for the timely discovery of Nelson’s observation, the final loss would definitely be far more than the three ships used to dock the tails.

　　 For that matter, Nelson fled southward for nearly 500 kilometers, and the fleet completely deviated from the course, almost drifting to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean...

It is impossible to supply supplies. He spent nearly a month spying on the in and out of St. Lawrence and several other seaports in Newfoundland. After several times of distress, he finally decided to abandon the mission and go around a big loop. The supply fleet was sent to the Port of Quebec, Canada.

　　 Being exhausted physically and mentally, he was forced to admit his failure, and the communications ship crossed the ocean to report back, and also brought him new orders from the General Staff on the return journey.

The supply mission was abolished, the supply fleet remained in Quebec, and the original Boston inspection plan was cancelled. He was asked to go to New York, where Prince William Henry and Lord Samuel Hood were watching the captured British troops in Yorktown. The situation provides a reference for the Paris peace talks.

　　 Nelson formed a friendship with the two nobles in New York. In December, the two returned to England after completing their inspection work. Nelson knew that Britain, France and the United States were in peace.

　　 There is not much time to grab the merits.

　　 Nelson daringly delayed his job renewal, and returned to the Caribbean with the small fleet all the way south, in an attempt to contact Lorraine for a big deal.

　　 However, when it was, the Drake Chamber of Commerce had just ended a series of two wars of association. Lorraine was being entangled in Pepsi, with more than enough energy and lack of energy.

　　 Even that, he didn't even see Lorraine.

　　 Disappointed Nelson led the fleet to hurriedly attacked the island of Turks in France, and of course received a serious failure full of sincerity.

　　 In June 1783, news of the peace reached the Caribbean, and the state of war suddenly ended. Nelson, who had found nothing, had to return to London and resigned.

　　 It was Shaq who was responsible for accepting his resignation. Shaq gave him the assessment that the supply mission was failed, the inspection mission was interrupted, the guard mission was excellent, and there was a good start to the war, and it failed.

　　 General comment: Not enough.

　　 Nelson, who failed, was honorably on the list of post-war disarmament. Shaq was sent to the reserve on the spot, received a half salary, and cancelled his original post.

　　 He wanted to learn French, so he went to Saint-Omer, France, but was heartbroken by the French lady.

　　 He wanted to enter politics and run for the House of Commons, but no suitable constituency was willing to accept him.

　　 In March 1784, under Lord Hood's bid, he finally returned to active duty and returned to the Caribbean as the captain of the North Wind God. Upon his arrival, he was sent to the Leeward Islands with Collingwood by Sir Parker.

　　 Nelson is suffocated.

　　 The 15-month reserve service and the failing ability assessment stored in the archives, he urgently needs to prove his worth and regain his position in the military in the familiar Caribbean.

　　 He quickly targeted the "Navigation Act."

　　 At that time, the United Kingdom had recognized the independence of the United States, but Congress did not make corresponding amendments to the "Navigation Act" enacted during the war. In other words, all business conduct between British colonies and foreign countries is illegal.

　　 However, the owners of the Leeward Islands produce cash crops, and their finished products can be sold to Europe, but the island’s daily consumption depends on the imports of food and raw materials from the United States.

　　Once the law is strictly enforced, the Leeward Islands will only be able to import food and raw materials from the British colonies with limited output or remote homeland, which should cause living expenses to soar threefold. If there is a famine, the situation is unimaginable.

　　 The local colonial government has never seriously implemented the "Navigation Act", and has not held accountability for the residents and American merchant ships' commercial activities. This is the opportunity Nelson sees.

　　 After he arrived in the Leeward Islands, Collingwood detained a number of American ships attempting to do business with the colony, and vigorously implemented the "Navigation Act."

However, his actions did not bring him honor. On the contrary, his immediate superiors, namely Sir Richard Hughes, Commander-in-Chief of the British Caribbean Colony, and Sir Thomas Shelley, the governor of Antigua, were dissatisfied. He is regarded as a wicked bureaucrat, and a joint letter wants to remove him from the islands.

　　 Soon after, the detained American businessman sued him in Antigua for illegally detaining the ship and demanding imprisonment for him. The local parade court passed his verdict unanimously in just one trial, and then he was put under house arrest, from May 1784 to the present.

　　On Nevis, Lorraine looked at his old friend who had been under house arrest for a whole year and looked red.

　　 "Colonel, if my information is correct, I remember the sentence for you should be house arrest on the Beifengshen and forbidden to land, right?"

　　 "The verdict is indeed like this." Nelson carried an umbrella and wore a dovetail, looking like a rich man on a plantation. "The only thing that needs to be corrected is that it is not my trial, it is the trial of the North Wind God."

　　 "They used a sentence to turn the North Wind God from a battleship into a prison, which means that as long as I don't hinder them from smuggling, no one will care where I went."

　　 "So you travel around on a warship?"

　　 Nelson laughed: "Until I was imprisoned~lightnovelpub.net~ I finally discovered the beauty of life."

　　 He raised his hand and let out a young and shy English lady from behind.

She is very beautiful, with clean and simple makeup, showing delicate features and fair skin, and a shy lady is rarely seen among Anglo-Saxons, which undoubtedly gives her a lot of extra points, enough for her to be in the crowd. stand out.

Lorraine smiled and took a box from Edley, and handed it to her: "You must be Ms. Nisbet mentioned in the letter by the colonel. When we first met, I was Lorraine, Lorraine Annason De Lake."

　　 The lady hurriedly accepted Lorraine's gift, opened it, and the dazzling light overflowed the box in an instant, making her almost throw it away.

　　 "This...this is..."

　　 "A 22-carat emerald, I heard that it was a necklace made by a warlord in Omani history in pursuit of a beautiful person. It is worth about half a ton of wheat flour, not a valuable thing."

　　 "2...22 carats?" The lady's hand trembled, "This is too expensive, Mr. Drake, I can't..."

"Take it, Francis." Nelson patted the lady on the shoulder and said softly. "This guy is now one of the richest people in Great Britain. Under 40, he is the richest man, even the young grand dukes. Nothing compares to him. There is no need to save money for him."

　　 Francis was even more alarmed: "Mr. Drake... the richest man?"
