Five Hundred and Forty One Father of the Nation

At around 9:00 a.m. on June 1, the port at the mouth of the Hudson River suddenly raised its alert level.

The increase in vigilance is not obvious in the eyes of ordinary people. There are no teams of security guards and sheriffs, and there are no well-dressed army soldiers with live ammunition blocking the road.

First, people from the Port Authority found berths No. 2 to No. 5 near Valkyrie.

The place was full of ships, some of which entered the port yesterday, and some of which were still loading and unloading in the morning.

But no matter what they were doing, within half an hour, a full 12 large and small ships were ready to leave the port, leaving behind the bewildered dock workers, sailing, shaking the side, and sailing away under the command of the pilot. up the berth.

Nearly half of the usually bustling Hudson Estuary wharf was vacant, and Valkyrie became a lonely ship, more than 300 meters away from the nearest ship.

Bell was posing in the stern of the ship with one arm pointing to the sky and the only one in his pose: "Lorraine, did you see it? This is the domineering spirit of the Pirate King!"

"I saw it, I saw it..." Lorraine waved his hands in disgust, "Not only did I see it, but General Simon Fraser in the sky also saw it."

"Si... Simon Fraser?!"

Bell was taken aback, and quickly put away his posture and fled, rolling and crawling. He fled all the way to Lorraine, and along the way, neither of his eyes left the roof of the port area.

"Hunters... how many are there?"

"After all, it is the president's trip. Considering various emergencies, there should be no less than three."

"where?"

"I don't know." Lorraine yawned. "Long-range shooting over 200 meters is another specialty. Pierce may be able to find a suitable sniper spot, and I..."

"That's right." Bell had finished acting, scratched his head and stood up straight, "Why do you look like you haven't slept enough?"

"Oh, I only slept two hours last night."

"Two hours? With whom?"

"At the beginning, there was only Carmen, and when it was almost dawn, Hannah also came." Lorraine thought for a while, with a touch of sadness floating on his face, "I really envy the women! The first lady will not participate in this journey. They can make up for their sleep in a stately way. What about me? I can only stick like a candle in the range of the Kentucky Chase, and pass the time by guessing the identity of passers-by."

Bell looked at Lorraine deeply and deeply, and looked at Lorraine with hairs all over his body, feeling impetuous.

Lorraine stomped his hooves like a frightened horse, and suddenly became angry: "What are you looking at?"

"Young man, be restrained..."

"roll!"

...

It was almost noon, and Valkyrie, who was fully prepared, finally ushered in the most important guest of the trip, the founding father of the United States, the founding father, statesman, military strategist, revolutionist, first president, and well-known rich man George Washington.

He is about 190 centimeters tall, with a burly figure, broad shoulders, and a slightly protruding belly that props up the golden vest, but it does not give people an overly bloated feeling, but shows stability and elegance.

He has a Chinese character face, with slightly compact features, and an unusually high nose.

He did not wear the silver wig that is common in society,

Instead, he used his natural mottled silver and golden hair to fix the wig, which immediately highlighted the thickness of his age and constantly reminded others that this burly, strong man full of strength and confidence is actually a man in his 50s. Year-old "old people".

Surrounded by his entourage, this "elderly man" who led the United States to become independent and is famous for his handsomeness, wealth, talent and determination boarded the deck. Among the entourage, Lorraine saw a restrained Hamilton and a military uniform. General Smith accompanied by his poker face.

"President Drake, he has been famous for a long time."

No one expected that the dignified President of the United States would greet Lorraine first.

"I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but who knows that by mistake, this delay has been delayed for a full six years."

The entourage looked at each other in amazement. Except for Hamilton, no one knew which allusion this "six years" came from.

They wanted to know the answer, but Lorraine on the other side just stroked his chest and bowed calmly.

"Meeting is a miracle blessed by the gods, Mr. President, not to mention that there is a monster called war between you and me."

"If war is a monster, I've been feeding it my whole life." President Washington smiled, "Also, my identity is only a temporary coordinator appointed by the Confederate Congress. It is inappropriate to call me president. If you like, you can Call me sir or general."

"Commander-in-Chief of the American Army?"

"Yes, General Washington, Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Army, that is the official title given to me by Congress."

"Calling you like this really brings a sense of intimacy, General." Lorraine bowed to thank you for the second time, "but forgive me, you should have left military affairs, right?"

"The purpose of my dedication to military affairs is to seek freedom for the United States. Now that freedom has been realized, I am more willing to devote my limited time to government affairs for the benefit of the people. This is my choice."

"But I have heard that your choice is not only to disassociate yourself from military affairs, but also to disassociate yourself from the Cincinnati Veterans Association and do everything in your power to sever yourself from all ties to the military community."

"Your information is really well-informed." Washington laughed twice, "But Mr. Drake, I have already sacrificed myself to the future of America. If I still regard the old department as the wealth of personal communication, I will fight for ten years. If I risk my life, am I doing it for myself? Or for the motherland?"

Lorraine was speechless.

In front of him is Washington, the great man who created a free America, even if you look at the history of Homo sapiens for millions of years, it is enough to enter the room.

The United States under his leadership is recognized as the closest to a truly democratic civilization in human history. Whether it is his personal charm or policy, he has been polished to perfection with countless reprints of history textbooks.

This made Lorraine's perception of him full of unreality.

Because in the concept of Lorraine, no one is perfect, not to mention the European-style values ​​lead to self-interest. Washington grew up and matured under such values, and it is impossible to become an altruistic person no matter what.

However, during the short verbal confrontation, every word of his was full of sincerity.

Lorraine can have a more reasonable interpretation of his behavior that is more in line with Western values, but he has no way to refute his rhetoric.

This rhetoric is kingly speech, even if it is just a politician's speech, it is a politician's speech that only the truly great can speak from the heart.

He really deserves respect.

Lorraine bent down for the third time: "Mr. President, Valkyrie 402 people sincerely welcome you to board the ship. We will do our best to dedicate an unforgettable and pleasant journey to you. Please allow me to formally introduce myself to you, I am the captain of the Valkyrie on this voyage, an English sailor, Lorraine Anason Drake."

Washington frowned dissatisfied: "Mr. President, I said..."

"The Constitutional Committee has reached a consensus on the national system and basic structure of the United States. In the future, the administrative body of the United States will be the Congress, and the executive head will be the president."

Lorraine interrupted.

"I understand that the title of President was unofficial to you before the first democratic constitution of the civilized world. But you are the only candidate on the minds of all Americans, and the only one with whom all civilized minds can identify."

"The title of president is revered, not a title, whether you want it or not, but that is my freedom and you have no right to interfere."

Washington smiled wryly.

"It seems that stubbornness is the only commonality of successful people in this world. You won, Mr. President. It's the first time for me to take a big ship like Valkyrie. I wonder if you are lucky enough to let you personally guide me?"

"It is my pleasure, Mr. President."
