On the fourth day of their arrival in Boston, the sailors who had lost their flagship began their operations simultaneously.

Lorraine divided the entire team into four groups.

The first group was led by him, with Carmen and Karen attached to them, and was responsible for acquiring the shipyard and finding attachments; the second group was joined by Yacharin and Bell, and led Pierce into the social scene in Boston; the third group was Wang Ye and Hai Na , and began to investigate the slave organization hidden deep underground; the fourth group was Katerina and Noah, who were responsible for staying in the water tank and cleaning up the Jackdaw.

Everyone has a detailed and clear task, and the shame of Qianwan is a kindness that must be repaid to this group of conceited and proud privateers.

First group……

Today's Carmen is wearing a dark green one-piece skirt, which is almost black, but it can reflect a shimmering green shadow in her gestures, highlighting the texture and luster that only top-quality silk has.

Every stitch of this kind of clothing represents money, and every thread is full of power. Carmen hardly ever wears it. The reason why she always carries it with her is because it is such a day of negotiating with power.

The noble girl goes out of the boudoir, and the room is full of splendor.

Lorraine only felt his eyes light up: Carmen, every time you are serious, I suspect that I have seen another person.

Because the clothes and makeup are half of a woman's, my lord captain. Carmen spread her silk fan and covered her mouth with a chuckle. May I ask you a question? With so many Carmens, which one is the most beautiful in your eyes?

Everyone is a peerless beauty. Lorraine invited Carmen with an elbow, but in my impression, the haggard beauty waiting anxiously in Southampton is probably the most beautiful one.

You actually remembered the most embarrassing time for a courtesan! Carmen rolled her eyes reproachfully, As Hana said, your slowness is a sin.

Laughing and making noise, the light bulb was on, Carmen held Lorraine's arm, followed by Karen, and the three of them were about to go to the battlefield together when the star sailor at the barn door suddenly ran in.

Captain, you have guests.

guest?

It's two gentlemen, one is Mr. Thomas Jefferson, and the other calls himself Mr. Paul Revere.

The governor and the regiment commander... Lorraine rubbed his brows with a headache,

Such a noble person has come to the door, why don't Jenny and McCarthy know how to call?

...

The so-called human rights and obligations have an eternal equivalence relationship. To put it bluntly, it means that things are often unsatisfactory in the world. If it is more straightforward...

Don't even think about getting what you want!

Among Lorraine's team, Lorraine and Karen should be the two most enthusiastic about acquiring the shipyard.

Keren's enthusiasm comes from his simple professional instinct and good yearning for retirement life.

He boarded Lorraine's pirate ship because he was squeezed out by the shipyard. As the elder and the oldest group of sailors, he often imagined his life after getting off the ship.

Judging from Lorraine's generous treatment of long-term sailors, he is very likely to become the top management of the chamber of commerce after disembarking. If I don't have this vision, I should be able to eat a share of dry stocks without food and clothing, and pass the boring retirement life.

But this is not what he wants.

As a top craftsman trained in Plymouth Naval Yard, he still has the dream of building a ship.

Build majestic battleships with your own hands, outline the future of the ocean with ink, and so on.

Now Lorraine has given him the chance to realize his dream, a shipyard with top-level facilities. Although the design style looks a bit bewitching, everything can change when he takes over the shipyard!

Compared with Karen, Lorraine's wishes are actually more difficult. He hopes to personally design a sailboat that belongs only to him.

This is not a simple wish.

There are specializations in the art industry. There are many people in this world who can sail a boat, and there will never be a few who are as comprehensive and skilled as Lorraine, but there will always be only a handful of people who can design a boat on paper.

Designing a sailboat is a specialized skill.

Lorraine wants a fast, flexible, sturdy and powerful flagship, and if he wants to turn his ideas into reality, he first needs to form a professional team that is proficient in this.

But strong and powerful requires a sufficiently large and stable hull, and fast and flexible runs counter to this requirement. There are very few design teams in the world who are obsessed with pursuing the high speed of large warships. It is even more difficult to meet him...

But who would have thought that at the funeral of the Jackdaw, Njord actually sent him one.

The shock and joy in Lorraine's heart can be imagined, this joy even dilutes Qianwan's humiliation, allowing him to plan revenge rationally with a relaxed mood.

This shows that Lorraine is determined to win Haight Shipyard and those wonderful designers.

However, as a team leader, he has obligations, one of which is irreplaceable social tasks, such as receiving visits from Thomas Jefferson and Paul Revere.

Lorraine couldn't evade his obligation, even if he knew the purpose of the two people's visit.

In the reception room of the water warehouse, Nuoya poured tea for the host and guest, and Katerina became the host's companion for a rare occasion.

Because Carmen's plenipotentiary representative Lorraine went to Heite, which made Lorraine's mind wander and somewhat absent-minded.

Mr. Kenway, were you preparing to go out just now?

Jefferson's opening was completely unresponsive.

Seeing the guest getting into embarrassment, the righteous lady knight hurriedly poked Lorraine on the shoulder politely.

Lorraine suddenly came back to his senses: What?

Mr. Kenway was about to go out just now, right? Looking at you, I hope Mr. Revere and I didn't disrupt your plan.

Looking at me, you know it's a mess, right?

Lorraine abandoned the common sense of playing cards, smiled and waved his hands.

But it doesn't matter. There will be no more important guests in Boston than Mr. Governor, not to mention that even Mr. Revere is here today. In front of such a lineup, even if the Jackdaw is bombed again, I am obliged to push back and the enemy duel.

Do you already have a duel?

That depends on whether the Governor wants me to duel in Boston.

The short and straightforward exchange of words started and ended, and Lorraine and Jefferson toasted together. Revere smiled awkwardly, and quickly raised his glass, willing to serve as a foil.

Lorraine was slightly taken aback: Mr. Revere...is really not suitable for politics.

This is a step back.

Revere's jerky social behavior broke the balance of power between Lorraine and Jefferson. Lorraine could only allow them to express their intentions, otherwise Revere would not be able to step down.

This is the depressing part of asking for help.

As said, Lorraine actually knew the two's intentions from the very beginning.

Lorraine paid a huge price for the scrapping of the Jackdaw due to the laxity of the Saints. From a purely business point of view, this is entirely the responsibility of Party B.

Lorraine has a lot of reasons to ask the Saints to bear the losses, and also has enough initiative, because the arms of the two sides have only been delivered so far less than half, and they are all blown out.

However, the Saints have everything except money.

Behind her is the Puritan Church.

Since the outbreak of the War of Independence and members of the Anglican Church in North America were expelled from the Anglican Church, missionary activities in the United States have entered an unspeakably embarrassing situation.

The old religious organizations were disbanded, and new religious organizations were not established. Theocracy completely failed in human rights in the secular domain. The priests who were rich in the world during the long Middle Ages never imagined that they would need government assistance one day.

At this stage, the Puritan Church undertakes the important task of preaching in the Greater Boston Diocese. Although its influence is no less than that of the Anglican Church back then, it can only rely on the funding of the Massachusetts state government for organizational funds.

The principle of appropriating funds must be less and not more. It is not easy for the Puritan Church to have enough food and clothing. If they want to support the newly formed militia, they have to sell their positions and join the Continental Army.

These things are what Lorraine wanted to understand after calming down the night before.

The Boston militia was unstable, and the Puritan Church was eager to boost it. In the formation of the Saints, priests and politicians belonged to hit it off.

At least until the demands of both parties are met, instead of viewing the Saints as a civilian army, it is more appropriate to view her as a Continental Army with only part of the financial support of the United States.

Therefore, this poor ghost army composed of fanatics did not compensate Lorraine, but at the same time they could not give up most of the arms that were still in Lorraine's hands.

There is only one way they can think of, and that is to persuade Jefferson to intercede, and don't let Lorraine pass on his loss to the Saints.

And now, Lorraine has given in!

When you're done, Jefferson smiles reservedly: I bear the great trust of the commander-in-chief, and I can only ask you to forgive me for making all kinds of demands.

I can bear the loss myself, and the goods can be delivered within today. But Mr. Governor, you can't just buy these things with an excuse? Lorraine asked with a smile.

Anything that is reasonable, I will promise you.

I don't think you will refuse.

Lorraine sighed softly and stood up solemnly.

Mr. Governor, Boston is not peaceful these days. I don't know if the United States plans to hire some mercenaries to solve the security problem.

Jefferson raised his eyebrows: Massachusetts' taxes are very limited, and it seems that they can't afford too high employment fees.

I know a friend who offers a very low price.

How many?

Lorraine stretched out a finger: An octagonal gold coin, what do you think the price is?

I'll take the proposal to Massachusetts, and from my perspective, there's no reason for them to say no.

Then I will trouble you.
