rumbling... rumbling...

　　 Thunder is surging between the sea and the sky.

　　 Ninety-four guns were full of volleys of power that destroyed the world, even if it was ten kilometers away, Lorraine on the high platform seemed to be able to smell the faint smoke of gunpowder.

　　 The atmosphere on the observation deck was very depressing. Lorraine glanced around and saw Washington's clenched hands and iron-green face.

　　 Hamilton said the words that Americans want to say but don’t want to say: "What is this? Provocation? Deterrence? Disarm!"

"What is it?" Lorraine thought for a while, "Mr. President is a serious leader of a country. This meeting is also an invitation from Shaq. This is a diplomatic occasion, and the salute is a suitable embellishment, representing the respect and respect of the host. meet."

　　The voice paused slightly here: "If you want to maintain a good mood, I suggest you think about it like this."

　　 "You let Mr. President deceive yourself?"

　　 "What is expected is not so much self-deception, as psychological construction."

　　 Hamilton was extremely angry, and was rare to be aggressive towards Lorraine: "Lorraine, can you guarantee that Shaq Drake will not make disdainful actions?"

　　 "You can guarantee it." Lorraine's answer was completely beyond the expectations of the Americans, "In the final analysis, you take yourself too high, what victory, the founding of the country, the British withdrew, and even New York gave up..."

"Shaq is a severely poisoned patient. In his eyes, the face of the family is more important than the decree of God. Murdering a leader of a small country will turn Drake into the laughingstock of the upper world, and will let the ancestors pass it on for two hundred years. Fearless to degenerate and rot."

　　 "If killing the president here can make the United States fall apart, the United Kingdom will probably be happy to see it?"

　　 "But what does that have to do with Shaq? For him, we can just shoot dead bugs with our hands. It's not worth his sacrifice and glory. You can rest assured about this."

　　 weirdly relieved...

　　 For the first time in his life, Hamilton discovered that safety can also be a humiliating thing.

　　 He does not doubt Lorraine's analysis, whether it is perceptual or rational, he believes that Lorraine will not be malicious towards Washington.

　　 But what is the throbbing in my heart?

　　 Those reasons that were so real that they could not be rebutted, untied the knot in front of them, and cut the past glory of America in two halves, leaving not even an inch left.

　　 Is this the real weight?

　　 Hamilton gritted his teeth: "Lorraine, how should we respond?"

　　 "The safest way is to stay alive."

　　 "But you said that he didn't bother to attack us!"

　　 "In other words, how much do you want to respond to Shaq's expectations..." Lorraine touched his chin, "I want to **** the command of the fleet."

"this……"

　　 "Yes." It was Washington who spoke, "As long as you need it, we will give it to you, including myself, from now on."

"That's it..." Lorraine smiled clearly, and the flag escorting the foremast of the flagship USS Adams reflected in his pupils. "Please complete the transfer of command within ten minutes. Also, I remember that there is a box in the president's luggage. Military uniform, right?"

　　 "Uh..." Hamilton was stunned for a while. "The clothes are available. They are all new army dresses. The president originally planned to organize the honoring ceremony of retired veterans in the Old North Church..."

　　 "The veterans shouldn't mind that their dresses are worn... um, please lend me too."

　　……

　　 Pansy descended slowly from the foremast of Valkyrie. Soon, a dark blue star-ring flag hung over the mast tip. There were thirteen stars. The shape was fully engraved with the Federal Flag before the birth of the Stars and Stripes.

　　 This is the command flag of the American army. The shallow history of the United States does not have a full-time military flag, and of course there will be no more detailed admiral flag.

The only value of 　　 lies in death (crossed out) and in clear command. When this flag is transferred from Adams to Valkyrie, Lorraine has the command of the American navy warship.

　　They have already stepped down from the observation deck. At this time, Lorraine stood on the bow of the ship with the hilt of the knife like in every war, and a group of American elites stood behind, watching the battle between the Drake brothers.

　　 "Command! The **** fleet disperses at half speed and patrols the sea for 20 kilometers with Neptune as the center."

　　 "It is required that the patrol route of each ship must cut into the sea surface of the Neptune for one kilometer, and must not approach 500 meters or evade shelling."

　　 "On the way of patrol, once a British warship is found, it will be close and expelled, and the flag will warn. No guns, no guns, no counterattacks."

　　 "Inform every **** sailor know that they are glorious American soldiers and are ready to die for the country!"

　　 The unthinkable order was transmitted to the ships through the flag order, and the **** fleet was in an uproar, but the flag of the complaint was clearly rejected by Valkyrie's flag.

　　 "All ships have it, Zhang Fan, spread out!"

　　 The final order was issued, and the soldiers no longer had the opportunity to appeal. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only obey and set sail.

　　 General Smith, who came to Valkyrie from his flagship, condemned Lorraine with big red eyes.

　　 "Crazy man! You are sending my soldiers to die!"

Lorraine had an indifferent expression on his face: "From the last round of salute, Neptune set a range of 1600-800. I let them cruise between 1000-500, which will only cause trouble for the artillery, and really get hit. The possibility is very slim."

　　 "But what if it hits?"

　　 "What if?" Lorraine tilted his head, "What? The United States still intends to take the initiative to declare war on Great Britain?"

　　 General Smith froze.

　　 "That's it." Lorraine said, "The United States has no choice. Even if the **** fleet is sunk, it can only be regarded as a sad accident, and then how far and how far it will go."

His joking tone completely ignited General Smith. The politician and general who served as a member of Parliament strode up to Lorraine, raised his chin, stayed high, and looked hard at Lorraine: "You know this. , But also set up layers of restrictions for my soldiers, forcing them to go to death!"

　　 "Because you want dignity." Lorraine's face became colder, and his voice became colder. "For weak countries, only fearless soldiers are dignity."

　　 "Are they dangerous? Dangerous. With the physique of a destroyer, a round of twenty-four pounds is enough to penetrate their hull."

　　 "Are they dangerous? Not dangerous. The 18-pounder gun can only leave a shallow hole in the hull of Neptune. They are not threatening, and Shaq will not deliberately target them."

"I let them go forward full of anger, let them go under the nose of Neptune to find enemies. However, there are no enemies at all for 20 kilometers around Neptune. The mainmast of Valkyrie is 58 meters, and their detection range is already Panoramic view."

"Excuse me, what does this claim look like in the eyes of the British?" Lorraine asked himself, "The American **** fleet attacked in a salute, full of murderous and combative parade next to powerful opponents, even if they are the most The sharp claws are not enough to tear the opponent's fur, and they still move forward, still willing to bet their own lives, just to make the opponent throw a rat."

"This is a fearless army, an army that is fearless and extremely loyal to the leader. They may only be able to despise their lives at sea, but on land? Will the red-shirted army that lost its glory dare to challenge again? These fearless fanatics?"

　　 "It's just six destroyers, and only 1,500 lives with inexhaustible drills. If you dare not even put out these bets, why do you extravagantly seek dignity!"

　　 "In the free America, the value of life..."

"This...very good." Washington's low voice cut off General Smith's retort. The free founding father looked at Lorraine sadly and firmly, "This is good, but is this all your preparations? The American faith has shaped a group of foolhardy men?"

　　 "Of course it doesn't stop there." Lorraine bowed his chest to Washington, "Fearlessness is part of dignity, a symbol of strength, and a gentleman needs cultivation and firmness in addition to strength."

　　 "Katerina, are you ready?"

Catalina stood out from the crowd and reported in a loud voice: "Report, according to the captain's order ~lightnovelpub.net~ Valkyrie was upgraded to Level 2 combat readiness, and all crew members canceled their shifts. The 40 stormtroopers have been reloaded, and the gun bay , The deck is well prepared, and they are all on standby."

　　 "Order, the stormtrooper deck lined up."

"Yes!"

Two groups of powerful stormtroopers lined up from the stern cabin. The left column was led by Leif, and the right column was led by Cao. Except for Leif and Cao **** and fully armed, the rest were dressed in meticulous Americans. Military uniforms, holding a brand-new bayonet-equipped long spear, are lined up equidistantly, standing like pine.

"The deck lined up, if it is a courtesy of the navy to be inspected, the only regret is that I lack enough Charville on my ship. But who knows? The US military is like the IWC brand, and occasionally an **** that uses maritime commuting is nothing. The big deal."

　　 "In this way we embody self-cultivation."

　　 "Finally, firm..." Lorraine's eyes looked towards the stern of the ship, "Raise the sail, launch the sail, spread the sail, and open the artillery door."

　　 "Command! Target HMS Neptune, Valkyrie advances at full speed. Empty shells are prepared for the starboard and starboard sides, and fired on both sides with a five-kilometer boundary."

　　 "Demonstrate a real salute for our opponents and let our opponents enjoy the performance of the wind. Tell Shaq Drake that small countries also have the dignity of small countries."

　　 "Then gentlemen and ladies, take a firm foothold, we...set sail."
