"Being a pirate on a heavy birthday (!

"If you beg me, I might be able to provide you with a little help." Hamilton said, straight to the point, after a long absence.

Lorraine had a weird expression on his face: "What? Just after establishing the country, the United States can't wait to show its presence internationally? Is Spain a suitable target?"

"This is slander." Hamilton was righteous. "Spain is not a suitable target. Even if it declines, it is not something the United States can afford now."

"It's rare for you to know yourself." Lorraine beckoned to call Monica over, "Tea? Or coffee?"

"Whiskey with ice, thank you."

Monica bowed and turned around to prepare the wine, Hamilton was pursing her expression.

"I told you the last time I met. The states are disturbed by the state government's still holding a powerful army after the war. They think it has no value and will only waste the people's taxes."

"The abolition of the Continental Army has always been an important matter for discussion in Congress. Both sides have analyzed a lot. Mr. Adams hopes to reduce the number of people through reorganization to increase combat effectiveness. Mr. Jefferson hopes to completely abolish the Continental Army establishment and the National Guard controlled by the states. The team undertakes the work of homeland defense."

Lorraine raised his eyebrows: "Competing for military power?"

"Don't think you can understand?"

"The Confederacy is thinking, it is impossible to understand, but the authority of the central government is so weak it is indeed a bit beyond my expectation."

When the wine came up, Lorraine pushed it across the coffee table, Hamilton caught it very naturally, and nodded in thanks to Monica.

"The Federalists have always been committed to forming a strong central government, so we can't give up the military. But now Congress's argument is indeed more biased towards the state capital. The reduction is imperative, and the key is how much can be retained."

"A support war to give back to the Spanish allies is a stage that reflects the value of the Continental Army." Hamilton knocked on the table. "I have a proposal. You take the initiative to bear the military expenses. I convince Miami to bear the supplies and we bear the pensions. As long as you nod your head. , I’m confident that within half a month, I will be authorized by the Congress to deploy at least two grenadier regiments, how about it?"

"Not very good." Lorraine lifted his legs. "The US participation in the war will not bring me any benefit. In fact, if the friendship between us is not considered, the Continental Army's presence in Miami will only cause trouble."

"Isn't it?" Hamilton opened his mouth. "The three tribes besieging Miami are all well-known tribal alliances in Florida, with a total population of more than 300,000. Although they have not reached the point of general mobilization, they have increased with the loss..."

"It won't be mobilized." Lorraine slowly raised the glass and took a sip. "What Miami wants to show the world is her safety, not her luck. Therefore, the war will end before the two sides can't bear it, and there will be no mobilization. ."

Hamilton was shocked and inexplicably: "Kenway, you are a lunatic."

"Directing the emotions of all parties in a direction that is beneficial to me is the most basic business consideration and my duty. I am not a warmonger, and I really can't afford your praise. What's more, don't you plan to use the war to retain the army? ? You are not qualified to talk about me."

"That seems right..."

"That's right." Lorraine put down his glass. "You come here this time, don't you say?"

"Mr. President’s itinerary has been set. He will visit Boston on April 10th and will stay there for three days. The Presidential Security Office agrees in principle that Mr. President will take the Valkyrie, but they have conditions. Except you, all Valkyrie occupants Both must be replaced by the Navy and Security Department. I think this condition is acceptable."

"I don't think it's possible." Lorraine didn't want to answer right away. "The sailor called the ship her. Her ship is like her own woman. No matter how profitable she is, there is no reason to give her hands."

"But you're still on the ship, aren't you? If you have a request, I can fight for you to retain the title of captain."

"I don't need a title." Lorraine refused. "If you are worried about Mr. President's safety, the President can carry his entourage within the range allowed by Valkyrie, which is 20 people if it is full."

"I will not give up control of the ship. If you don't want to, please take your own sampan to Boston."

Hamilton's face was covered with black lines: "Lorraine, you know it's difficult to communicate!"

"Alexander, you can completely give up."

"Military power and financial power are the foundation of a strong government and my lifelong pursuit. How could I give up!"

"Then please persuade them to give in." Lorraine sweared, "Don't forget, if our memo is approved by the U.S. Congress, I will become a core member of the Mint Committee and a major shareholder of Bank One."

"As the wallet of the future of the United States, I want to be trusted. This is a matter of course."

...

The cruelty of war is a matter of course.

The Indians in front of them receded like tides, and the desolate grassland that had been burnt several times by the original fire was only left with gunpowder and corpses against the setting sun.

The mayor of Dipujani heard the order from Qiqian, which means that the front line received a request from the Indians to clean the battlefield, and another day of fighting was over. Next, the battlefield belonged to the labors of both sides.

"Captain Ayami, let the third and fourth companies take over the line of defense in an orderly manner. The defense will be changed within one hour, and the eighth and tenth companies will be the second echelon."

"Yes, sir!"

Sweeping the battlefield is an absolute peaceful time on the battlefield, representing the glory of humanity and civilization, and it is usually the best time for the defenders to change defenses.

This is actually amazing.

Obviously there is no strong power to promote, and there is no costly punishment for violations, but it is executed very well. It does not matter about culture or cultivation. Wars all over the world recognize its rationality. Like the Miami Siege, the offensive and defensive sides are adjacent to each other. The battlefield is still victorious.

The objective reason is naturally its main cause.

For example, the grassland as a battlefield is the land where both sides live together. Burning it will cause trouble in future life, so the fire fighting must be done in time.

For example, in the spring when the weather is warm, the corpses are easy to decay and deteriorate, breeding the plague. In order for the soldiers to die in as healthy a state as possible, the collection of the corpses must also be timely work.

All in all, restraint during the cleaning of the battlefield is the common and recognized obligation of both offensive and defensive parties, and no one has a reason to break it. Commanders also need time to relax their spirits and adjust their state.

The changing of the guard was completed in less than half an hour. Dipuyani looked at the conscientious and conscientious civil servants on the battlefield with a complex expression, and sighed with emotion.

"Captain Ayami, today... is it the 15th day?"

"The first battle on January 26, today is February 11, and there are three days left before St. Valen's Day. To be precise, it is the 16th day of the battle."

"So it's going to be Saint Valen's Day soon..."

St. Valen's Day is Valentine's Day. In the 3rd century AD, the Roman Empire was in full crisis.

The economy is declining, the rule is corrupt, and the society is turbulent, and the people have resisted.

In order to maintain their rule, the aristocracy used brutal means to suppress the people and Christians.

At that time, a Christian, Valentine, was arrested and imprisoned during the crackdown.

In prison, he did not sing praises to God religiously, but spent most of his energy on the warden’s young and beautiful daughter.

It’s hard to say why the warden’s young and beautiful daughter often went in and out of prison, but the story records that they did fall in love. Valentin and the warden’s daughter adore each other, and in prison, the love-sacred Christian was taken care of by the lady in every possible way.

But the good days will eventually come to an end.

One day, the ruling class ordered Valentine to be executed. Before his execution, he wrote a long suicide note to the warden's daughter, showing his upright heart and deep attachment to the warden's daughter, and by the way, he mentioned innocently that he was innocent.

This love letter was passed on to the warden’s daughter intact, and was not checked like most letters.

On February 14, 270 AD, Valentine was officially executed. In order to commemorate his sacrifice for justice and pure love, Christians designated the day of his execution as "St. Valentine's Day". Called "Valentine's Day".

Dipujani laughed helplessly: "The most recent energy has been on the war, I actually forgot such an important day..."

"Commander, do you want to prepare roses for you in advance? I think it's just Valentine's Day, you can go back and accompany your wife..."

"I can go back. Soldiers can't go back?" Dipuiani shook his head. "The soldiers are homesick. The morale of the army has been sluggish these days. Even the civilians who carry their corpses can't match... …"

"Those folks..." Captain Amia hesitated to speak.

"What happened to Minfu?"

"A few days ago, the Drake Chamber of Commerce cashed out the first salary for the folks. I heard that not only did they say good octagonal gold coins, but the folks also received letters from their families, especially those who performed well. Education vouchers for Lake School."

"Education vouchers?"

"It is equivalent to a scholarship dedicated to the Drake School, which can be exchanged for three years of tuition and miscellaneous expenses for a student, including living allowances."

Dipuiani gritted his teeth: "Our soldiers are bleeding on the front line, but the Drake Chamber of Commerce has not forgotten to buy people's hearts! What do I want them to organize?"

"It's still refused." Captain Amia's expression was a bit strange. "But the Hundred Business Association, headed by Drake, provided a batch of ordnance for the Line Corps stationed at the mouth of the river. After being armed, the Line Corps had already been equipped. It has reached the standard of the Grenadier regiment, but the training can't keep up for a while~lightnovelpub.net~So..."

"Bring the Line Corps up..." Dipuiani lowered his head sullenly. "The lack of training can be compensated by actual combat. The Indians have recently increased their troops. With the Grenadier Corps alone, our blood will drain quickly. ."

"Commander, if the line corps is transferred up, if the Indians detour, what about the defense of the estuary area?"

"Didn't Lorraine Drake say that his army will guard the properties of the Drake Chamber of Commerce? The properties that belong to Drake in Miami are not limited to jackdaws and colleges. There is also a large Drake community in the Bayou area."

"Leave the defense there to him! Right now, we need to think about victory without distraction, and nothing else... we can't take care of it anymore."
