Five Hundred and Twenty-Two REBIRTH X: Suspect

The fourth floor of the Drake House is a huge and transparent stepped meeting room, which can accommodate more than 200 people. Although it is cleaned every day, it is actually used very rarely.

It’s just that less is less, the last time it was used was the most recent event, that is, the 1785 Miami Annual Meeting with the largest number of participants and the second largest attendance ratio in the history of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

As the Chamber of Commerce's first annual meeting after it moved to Miami, on December 15 last year, 147 partner-level employees scattered around the world left their jobs and rushed to this conference hall.

But what's ridiculous is that this year's annual meeting did not prepare any topics at the general level, not one of them.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce has long ended the framework construction period for globalization, and the core direction for the next 30 or even 100 years has been determined. What needs to be done now is not to correct, but to fill in.

How to enrich the established framework, how to achieve the goals of the chamber of commerce within the planning period, or before the planning period.

What Lorraine and other Drakes need to consider right now are these things, and these happen to be details. The appropriate implementation and implementation is not the General Chamber of Commerce, but the groups and branches under it.

Ever since, Wu Huanhuan's partners gathered from all over the world and argued for 9 days about their respective plans and needs. After Christmas, Wu Huanhuan went back to their respective battlefields.

Of course, this large-scale annual meeting is meaningful, to learn from others and to brainstorm.

However, these small meanings seem to be of little value compared to the time saved by the various groups and branches holding annual meetings nearby. This was Lorraine's sincere feeling at the time.

But what should I say...

Just like being born as a human being, you need to take into account the sense of ritual in life, and an enterprise also needs ritual embellishments in the process of development.

If the partners can really feel the vigorous and prosperous development momentum of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, the consideration of efficiency can indeed be reduced to the secondary level in many cases, especially the temporary impact.

The mighty annual meeting ended, and only a week later, the venue was reopened.

Everyone came together in a short time. There are Lorraine, Hana, and Noah who were originally in the Drake house; there is Katerina who is seriously injured and still unable to get out of the wheelchair; there is Wang Ye who just returned from visiting friends in Boston not long ago; there is an official end of treatment , Daniel, who returned from Fort-de-France with Leif; and Karen, who was too busy to touch the ground during this period, and Carmen, the only one who made Keren feel so busy that he never went out.

Everyone's faces were serious, and Lorraine had already told them the cause and effect when they were summoned.

Carmen sat beside Lorraine,

Stirring the coffee in front of him absent-mindedly: "Bell Judea, is his role confirmed?"

"Not sure."

Lorraine's folded arms supported his chin like a brace, as if he couldn't maintain his posture if he didn't do so.

"Bell may be Shaq's spy, he may be a spy of the Admiralty, or he may be simply swearing, of course, this possibility is pitifully small."

"I understand how you feel." Katerina's eyes were cold, "But Bel Judea is not our negligence, and he is not Acharin. The so-called owe is just wishful thinking."

"I know." Lorraine sighed, "Carmen arranged for Sharon to invite Bell, so he won't be on guard. He just thinks that today's gathering is to listen to Carmen's report on the progress of Miami's development."

"Before he comes, let's sort out the relevant things. Carmen."

Carmen opened the document in front of him expressionlessly.

"Bell St. Breed Judea, the first heir to the Earl of St. Breed in England, former Lieutenant Commander of the Royal Navy of Great Britain, shareholder of the Drake General Chamber of Commerce, member of the board of directors, first chief admiral of the direct fleet, Valkyrie The selection of the helmsman, the first order navigator, and the professor of the ship steering department of the University of Miami Maritime Academy, this is the information we are familiar with."

"Bell Judea joined the General Chamber of Commerce in 1779. He first participated in the Halloween operation and played an important role in it, becoming famous in the first battle."

"After joining the Kenway Merchant Group, he was suspected because of his private contact with the old staff. Later, we established an intelligence channel with Chris Emmons. He played a major role and is also the main person in charge of this line."

"It is precisely because of the connection with Chris Emmons that we have been preparing for his whereabouts since 1979, trying to cut off the link between the Kenway Chamber of Commerce and the Drake Chamber of Commerce."

"We concocted the incident of Bel Judea's disagreement with the captain, fabricated the information that Bell Judea resigned after the Halloween operation, and joined the Kenway Merchant Group, and falsified the information that should be recorded and can reflect this matter There were 16 documents, 49 documents that could not reflect this matter, and 12 documents were deliberately deleted, but the archives and fragments were carefully put into the archives room.”

"Bell Judea started his activities as a member of the Kenway Merchant Group. During the period, including the sea-taking operation, he deliberately avoided contact with Royal Navy officers."

"At the same time, our capital is also interfering with the judgment of the Royal Navy through layers of control. Considering the inevitable merger of the business group and the chamber of commerce, each of us has a false identity in the business group except Bell Judea. , and apart from Edward Kenway, there is no one with a hanging bonus, including Belle Judea."

"In 1781, the Kenway Merchant Group was deregistered, and it was fully acquired by Drake's capital and controlled by our capital. The information went to Edward Kenway, his entourage, that is, Bell Judea and ours. Five members of the Communist Party of China with false identities followed and disappeared, and the rest joined the chamber of commerce in various positions.”

"It took me two years to digest these fake identities. Except for Bel Judea, two people were fired due to negligence, one died of illness, and the rest died at sea."

"Bell Judea is the last person in the Kenway Merchant Group that can be verified, but he bought back his family's earldom. This alone proves that our work is effective, and his past has no longer had an impact. "

Carmen snapped the document shut and looked up: "All the things I just said are top secrets of the Drake Chamber of Commerce. There are only two records. One is kept in the underground archives under the Miami Monument, and the other is stored out of order. Of the 197 historical archives scattered across Southampton, New York, Lucie, St. Dynasties, and Jackdaws, neither archive site is likely to be compromised."

"Everything is handled by me alone, and I am the only one who knows the whole story of the incident, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets on the executive side."

"However, the relationship between the Kenway Chamber of Commerce and the Drake Chamber of Commerce has indeed been exposed. Based on the above conclusions, Bell Judea is the only suspect, and I can be responsible for my own judgment."

When she said this, Carmen gave Lorraine an affectionate look, and Lorraine returned her grateful eyes and shook her head slightly.

"Bell's suspicion is judged by me. You also know that Carmen has no time to care about these trivial matters during this time."

Lorraine smiled.

"By the way, at this moment, Kayo should be negotiating with the radicals of the Black Feather Department in Mailang Town, right?"

Carmen knew that Lorraine wanted to protect her. After all, everyone has accumulated a deep friendship over the years. In contrast, Carmen, who has always been committed to the management of the chamber of commerce, is more emotionally alienated.

Doubt, conviction, trial.

Regardless of the right or wrong of the matter, Carmen simply does not want to create a gap between Lorraine and his crew, and Lorraine does not want Carmen to be a target for everyone to vent their feelings of powerlessness.

Carmen understood this, and from Lorraine's words, he had already made a decision.

So she obediently followed Lorraine's words and changed the subject: "The development office's judgment on this negotiation is pessimistic. Including the Kuroba, all tribes in Florida, big and small, are radical and hostile to Miami."

"Spain is just an excuse, and large-scale immigration is just a facade. We have completed the land settlement with them, and they can't get more. Now they just want to drive us into the sea."

Hannah raised her eyebrows and spoke for the first time today: "Kill them?"

Carmen nodded, then shook her head: "Kill them, but we don't need to come forward."

"Since there are radicals, there are naturally moderates who are welcome to coexist with them. We have been infiltrating and cultivating them."

"Only in the Black Feather Division, 11 of the 17 elders have huge interests in Miami, and the other divisions are similar. They can't escape our hands. As long as we are willing, those barbarians who want to fight will be uprooted at any time .”

"The point is, when do we need them to die?"

Carmen held her long neck high.

"Miami needs a hearty victory, a real war different from the Bay of Biscay drill. It will make people see Miami safe, further stimulate the boom in land prices and immigration, which is what those people can do for Miami most valuable contribution."

"The war will start and end soon. The victory will be ours, but I can only hope that this victory will more or less offset our losses today..."
