Reborn Pirates Novel Cool Notes () Find the latest chapter!
Time flies, five days pass.
Boston is as calm as ever, but in the eyes of discerning people, it seems that there is only that layer of calm flowing on the surface like an oil slick.
In the water warehouse of Haight Dock, several sailors were loading several long cargo boxes onto a beautifully decorated carriage under the command of Katerina.
It was Jefferson's personal carriage.
These days, Jefferson will meet with Lorraine several times a day, nominally to persuade Lorraine to give up the claim for the Saints, but in fact, through the opportunity of going back and forth between the water warehouse and Mount Cop, using this inefficient mode of moving ants Bit by bit, the remaining arms were secretly sent to the arsenal of the Saints.
This was Lorraine's idea.
The cause of the night in Qianwan was this batch of munitions. Although the slaves who attacked the Jackdaw and were finally angered by Lorraine were slaves, Lorraine never gave up guard against the other two militias for a moment.
The white man who was stabbed to death by Hana five days ago for following Bell further confirmed Lorraine's conjecture.
The white man did not have anything real and sufficient to prove his identity. The only identity and work certificates were forged, but there was no trace of forgery in terms of workmanship.
Under such conclusive evidence, Jefferson could only admit to Lorraine that there was indeed a militia in Boston who was pro-British.
The pro-British militia was precisely the Sons of Liberty Legion that made great contributions to the United States in the early days of the war.
She is the real protagonist of Paul Revere's midnight ride. She participated in the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston as the main force. She has undergone two reconstructions and three expansions. covered in wounds.
The Sons of Liberty developed into a unique and powerful legion in Boston. Before the formation of the Saints, there were a total of seven army regiments in the city, and the Sons of Liberty exclusively occupied four of them.
However, no team, no matter how honorable it is, can control the shifting of its position.
Behind the Sons of Liberty are the capitalists in the Southern District, and most of the generals in the military are from the United Labor Union, and their status and families are inextricably intertwined with the manufacturing industry.
They represent the wealthy capitalists in Boston, and they resisted most resolutely in the vigorous anti-tax movement. It is precisely because of this determination that Boston recovered.
In the early days of the Restoration of Boston,
Thanks to the flurry of the British and the bewilderment of the American government, the capitalists here did receive a short-lived nation-building bonus.
But soon, in response to the war, the United States issued a higher tax bill than the British; the sea and land transportation was cut off, and Boston's manufacturing industry fell into a slump.
The capitalists soon discovered that independence might not be so good, especially for the South Side of Boston, which relies heavily on the transportation system, this decision is comparable to hell.
Their industry may not survive the war at all...
And if they lose their property, they may not live to win the war if they are not engaged in production...
The Sons of Liberty who resisted the most staunchly back then were the first to waver. The British, who had always been obsessed with Boston, quickly extended an olive branch and opened Boston's traffic to a limited extent.
As a result, things got out of hand, and by the time the leaders of the United States reacted, the state capital had completely lost control of the Sons of Liberty.
At stake is Boston, at stake Massachusetts, at stake Connecticut, Rhode Island, and the whole Northern Front!
This is the main reason why Jefferson went to the North alone. The Saints were urgently established, the Continental Army broke the conventional armed militia, Lorraine received the order for the North Transport, and the Jackdaw was humiliated in Qianwan. In the final analysis, it was all because of this reason.
Even the group of armed slaves who hide their heads and show their tails are very likely to be the evil result of the connivance and support of the capitalists in the southern district!
All in all, my concerns are justified, right?
In the reception room of Shui Cang, Lorraine stirred the black tea in front of him, revisiting the past with a half-smile.
Jefferson didn't know what expression to use to deal with the banter, so he could only tirelessly pull the shutters and watch the slow and orderly loading of cars outside through the window.
Kenway, how many days until the shipment is finished?
Katalina has checked the inventory. If you continue to maintain the current efficiency, there are about three days left. Yeye Chinese
Three days...
After getting acquainted with it, Jefferson's expression has become much richer, and the newly unlocked content includes... disgust.
A mere 1,450 guns have to be delivered for eight full days. Although the arms trade I have handled is not much, what I have heard and seen is really unprecedented.
Who is to blame for this? My Lord Governor? Should I complain about the law and order in Boston, the slackness of the Saints, or the tyranny of the United States to force people into prostitution?
Talk is not conducive to friendship, Kenway. Jefferson glanced at Lorraine helplessly, How is the third-party policing in the state capital going?
There are few people and profits are low, and the temporary sheriffs don't seem to be too motivated.
But that offer was made by the third party itself.
It's as if the state of Massachusetts has a higher budget.
Lorraine took a sip of tea and sat upright.
Since I accidentally harvested the corpse five days ago, my people have fallen into a stalemate. The other party is very cautious. There is nothing meaningful on the spy. react.
Could it be that the hanging place is too remote?
After all, he is a white man. I can't hang him on the steeple of the Old North Church.
This is indeed a real problem. Jefferson shrugged and changed into a comfortable sitting position, Kenway, Mr. Haight came to see me yesterday, and I hope you can give up your plan to acquire the shipyard.
His sudden change of topic stunned Lorraine for a moment.
America's suggestion?
Jefferson spread his hands to express his innocence: It's a purely personal request. In fact, whether it is the government or myself, you are welcome to take over the Haight Shipyard and prevent the only first-class shipyard in the United States from continuing to be abandoned.
Then there's no problem. Lorraine's expression softened, My social adviser, Miss Carmen, told me that today will be the final negotiation. In other words, no matter whether the acquisition is successful or not, you will have nothing to do with Mr. Haight Live up to.
That's... great.
...
In the meeting room of the office building of Haight Shipyard, the fifth round of formal negotiations for the acquisition of Boston Haight Shipyard by Kenway Business Group in New Orleans has reached its climax.
The representative of the shipyard is the full shareholder of the shipyard, the general manager Edmund Haite and the helm of the design team, Joshua Humphreys, a well-known sailing designer in Newland.
The representatives of the Kenway Business Group are the sole trustee of the general manager of the business group, Mr. Edward Kenway, Ms. Carmen, the assistant to the general manager, and Mr. Ke Lun, the chief ship maintenance officer of the business group.
Um……
The names of Carmen and Karen were all temporary, and even the so-called New Orleans Kenway Business Group was a temporary product without any deliberation. It was purely that Carmen came to the first negotiation.
The fact is that the white man who was stabbed to death by Hannah five days ago has completely shifted the focus of Lorraine's work, and the acquisition case has basically become Carmen's one-man show.
In order to make her rhetoric more credible, she needs a formal and famous business name.
The effect of this is obvious. Facing the three world-class professionals in the meeting room, Carmen completely dominated the rhythm of the meeting with her keen sense of the economy and her ignorance of the shipyard.
In the first four negotiations, she squeezed Height little by little, and figured out the current situation of the shipyard bit by bit. She even used tears as a weapon to force Height to agree that she read all the books of the shipyard for the past five years.
Anyway, the account books in the past three years are very thin.
Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never lose in a hundred battles.
Today is the decisive day selected by Carmen. She will make a second offer to Haight, and then take over the sovereignty of the shipyard.
