Reborn As a Pirate

Why meet the British first.

As soon as he opened the door, Hamilton, who hadn't seen him for a long time, threw such a question to Lorraine that absolutely had no correct answer.

Not only that, he also called Lorraine Kenway, and vowed that the United States needs a reasonable explanation.

Lorraine stared maliciously at his old friend, the founding father of the United States, the letter from Mr. President, the acting minister of the interim Treasury, the initiator and core organizer of the Bank of the United States proposal, Alexander Hamilton.

America is out of money? Lorraine's answer was irrelevant.

Uh... Hamilton's smile became cramped, Mr. President, you once had a true friendship in a great country. But don't forget that friendship needs to be managed. If you can't properly maintain it, maybe...

Then the federal government is out of money.

Yes. The little daughter-in-law immediately admitted her cowardice, stood up and poured the wine for Lorraine herself, For the sake of my honesty, can we sit down and talk?

This is the management of friendship. Lorraine sighed earnestly, walked into the box, sat on the sofa, raised his glass and touched Hamilton lightly, Mr. Minister of Finance, you just almost lost the friendship of a great chamber of commerce.

Tch! Hamilton drank the bitter wine in his glass in one gulp, Other pirates keep parrots, but your essence is parrots.

Thank you for the compliment.

Out of the interpersonal circle of the Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine actually only has two sincere friends.

Nelson's friendship is based on the employment relationship between the two parties, but they are not close. The two sides have consensus and cooperation, and there is also an interpersonal distance that cannot be easily trampled on.

Hamilton's friendship was built on a mutual benefit relationship in a special period, close but not close. Although the two have no so-called taboos and particularities when getting along, but at the same time, they will never be able to put aside their respective calculations.

Perhaps this is the friendship model of adults. Either there is a gap in will or a gap in position. Pure intimacy does not exist, and no one tries to pursue existence.

Lorraine took a sip of his wine, and saw at a glance that the telescope prepared for Hamilton was still in place.

What? The drama at sea is not to your taste?

It's not my thing at all.

Hamilton made an exaggerated look of regret.

I am an army man. Although I have work experience in the dock, I still have a little knowledge of the sea. I know this is a small problem that I should overcome, and it is my obligation as a national observer.

But who let my explainer get into the box of the British? I thought that since Mr. explainer doesn't care about the huge orders from the United States, why should I bother myself and challenge things that I am not good at?

Lorraine was getting annoyed.

He swallowed his glass and raised his legs: Say it straight, Alexander, what exactly does your president expect of me?

silence.

Hamilton played with his wine glass without saying a word, swipe the rim of the glass with the balls of his fingers around and around.

When Lorraine counted to the tenth lap, he suddenly said, The war has been won.

The war was won. We drove out the British, accomplished a great cause, and fulfilled the wishes of the martyrs who died in the war. We built a human civilization that fully implemented God's will on that sinful land. lighthouse.

We thought that as long as the British were driven out, these things were taken for granted.

However... Hamilton smiled wryly, It seems that we still think about the problem simply.

Congress wants to build the United States into a truly powerful and dependable democratic country. It wants to formulate a unified constitution, issue a strong currency, have a developed industry, and support a powerful army. The premise of all this is to establish a strong central government.

But the states don't want to see a real federal government. They just want to be the sole masters of their own country, and they don't want anyone to dictate their rule, let alone share their rights with others.

In this way, former comrades-in-arms have become rivals, but we can't drive them away like the British, because we depend on each other.

Hamilton poured himself another glass of wine and drank it without clinking.

Snapped!

Kenway, we are fighting a new war. This war is destined to be longer and crueler than the Revolutionary War. We need your help, just like the Revolutionary War, stand firmly by our side.

He called Kenway a second time.

With the sound of Kenway's exit, Lorraine immediately felt the weight of the air, and finally understood why President Washington chose Hamilton, who had already taken off his military uniform, as an observer of this military exercise, instead of choosing an officer of the Navy Department with a more suitable identity and knowledge. .

Because Hamilton did not come to Miami as a military observer at all, but as a lobbyist.

Lorraine did not immediately answer Hamilton's request.

He quietly thought about the pros and cons, and halfway through the thought, he suddenly found that his wine glass had bottomed out unconsciously.

He laughed: If there is a noble gentleman who is willing to condescend to pour wine for me at this time...

The wine glass is full in the blink of an eye.

Emmmm... well, what can I get out of this? Lorraine asked.

Business. Hamilton replied bluntly, Just like the equivalent exchange in the past, the United States will provide you with the most generous offer for your kindness.

But you acknowledged earlier that the federal government is stretched thin.

No matter how poor the federal government is, it is still the federal government. As long as it is worth spending, we are never stingy with money.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and changed into a comfortable sitting position at the same time.

On the surface of the sea, Brunhilde is fighting against the future, while Gray is clinging to the new generation.

Valrhona seized the upper hand again, using the time when the lady adjusted the foremast to constantly threaten its fragile poop.

The White Pelican team finally entangled the Sunflower.

Leaving the puffins, frigatebirds and dark champagne to strangle the weak enemy ships, the white pelican returns with a single ship, and quickly cuts into the battle between Mystra and the lady from the outside line, like a small weight to pry the balance of the battlefield .

The first formation thus entered a comprehensive advantage.

Lorraine pointed to the white pelican and said to Hamilton: Did you see that Brig? Her main gun is only twelve pounds. Even if the lady stops and lets her blast it, it will be difficult for her to penetrate the lady. hull.

But... Hamilton looked at the sea in confusion, It looks like the Lady is in a mess.

That's because the Mystra has the ability to threaten the Lady. Lorraine explained, If the Lady underestimates the small troubles that the white pelican may cause, one day, she will have to face big trouble.

Hamilton's eyes were burning: I'm so happy that we can fight side by side again.

I haven't decided whether to agree to you. Lorraine paused and grinned. But at least you guessed one thing, my dear Alexander. I would like to hear about your business, and I sincerely hope that it is a big deal. Business.
