Five Hundred and Forty-Three Shadows of America

four days.

For four days on the small Valkyrie, which is only 62.2 meters long and 13.6 meters wide from side to side, the American team and the ship team did not have any meaningful communication. The two sides kept an invisible social distance and nodded when they met , silently, draw two parallel lines that have no intersection on the coastline of the United States, and extend all the way through the meridian of Rhode Island.

The embarrassing stalemate was not broken until entering Martha's Vineyard. During the day when the Valkyrie crew was active on the deck, Hamilton took a brown-haired beauty to find Lorraine who was fishing at the stern of the ship.

"Oh oh oh, you are indeed the Pirate King of the White Flag, and you always know how to pass the boring time on the ship."

"To pass the time?" Lorraine and Bai Er, who was lying in Lorraine's arms, frowned at the same time.

One person and one cat turned their heads with the same pity of looking at landlubbers, and emphasized with a meow.

"In the waters of the sacred Martha's Vineyard, sailing a boat is a process, and fishing is a life!"

"Especially in June, the small horse mackerel explores the tide in the sea, with a strong appetite, and bites every hook. They can give people endless fishing fun, and they can also satisfy the appetite of white ears with their fresh and tender bodies..."

While Lorraine was talking, the thin and soft tip of the rod sank suddenly, and the long fishing line cut pure white light and shadow in the sun. The feedback of that force fell into Hamilton's eyes, making him almost think that Lorraine had caught a fish. a shark.

But... If it was really a shark, Lorraine's response would have been too easy.

I saw him holding the fishing rod with one arm, no muscle bulge, and the man and the fish were in a stalemate across a long line. After only a moment of stalemate, Lorraine won.

A silver shuttle-shaped swimming fish was pulled out of the water by the fishing line, jumping high between the sea and the sky, and before it fell back into the water, Lorraine had already retracted the line, turned the winch and dragged the fish onto the deck.

It's about as long as a finger...

Hamilton stared straight at the little horse mackerel: "It... shrank?"

"Horse mackerel will not mature until September. In June, fish are bigger than fry and smaller than adult fish. This one is considered a strong fish."

"A strong man the size of a finger?"

"In the world of whales, we are no bigger than this fish."

"It actually involves dialectics..." Hamilton rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Lorraine unhooked the small horse mackerel from the hook and threw it into the air. White Ears meowed and jumped out, stretching his body completely in mid-air...

It was too late and then soon, a white light descended from the sky, flashing past Bai Er's mouth like lightning and chasing light. Just heard a croak, fish! It's gone!

Hamilton stared blankly at the empty white ears and landed dumbly, and followed the cat's amber vertical pupils to find the white light on the yard.

McCarthy held the fish in his mouth, held his head up and gulped it down, and Jenny flapped her wings to show off her power at her white ears. The fluff shed was swirling in the wind, fluttering, and lightly stuck in the middle of Hamilton's eyebrows.

"Meow!!!!"

The war between cats and birds started again, and the scene was once very chaotic. In the eye of the storm on the battlefield, Lorraine packed up the fishing rod and tilted his head to look at the woman behind Hamilton.

"Miss I haven't seen before... Your lover? Mistress? Or madam?"

"Unfortunately,

neither. "Hamilton took the opportunity to introduce, "Miss Izeya Solomon, a highly educated and famous lady, she is one of the most trusted financial advisors of Mr. President, and is also recognized as the most beautiful single nobleman in the Federal Hall. "

"A financial advisor named Solomon?"

Lorraine suddenly became interested, and for the first time seriously looked at the beauties around Hamilton.

He has long brown hair, deep features, and a tall figure.

She is taller than Henna, and her slightly wider shoulders support the lady's swallowtail. With a rich skirt and light-colored calfskin boots, she exudes an unforgettable capable and decisive temperament.

Maybe it's because her temperament is too ostentatious, her body always has a bit of a cold taste, she feels unattainable, and strangers should not get close, so that she is a beautiful face, but it always leaves people with no impression. Even if you stare at it, your eyes will become hazy when you drift away.

"Is it the daughter of the Solomon family?" Lorraine asked, looking away.

Hamilton smiled provocatively: "Aha, in front of beautiful ladies, normal unmarried men should care about other things more?"

"Not as beautiful as Carmen, not as attractive as Henna, Miss Solomon is the most outstanding woman I have ever seen in my life." Lorraine didn't even want to say polite words, "So, is it the Solomon family?"

"Yes, my father is Haim Solomon." Miss Solomon replied with a smile.

Haim Solomon, one of the countless legends in the history of the founding of the United States, is honored as "the shadow of America" ​​by those who know him because of his great contribution and unknown low profile.

The gentleman was born in Poland and is a descendant of Jewish refugees from Portugal.

In his youth he traveled all over Europe, reaching as far as India. During his travels, he taught himself management, finance, mastered eight languages, and established a business empire that is not inferior to the current Drake Chamber of Commerce.

In 1775, he immigrated to New York, and soon joined the "Sons of Liberty", becoming an important cadre in the Revolutionary War, was arrested twice, and was sentenced to death in 1778 for serving a sentence for instigating against the Hessian mercenaries.

He easily escaped from the execution ground with his eloquent tongue. Since then, he moved to Philadelphia and devoted himself to the revolution with his family.

During the long revolution, he has long been active as the most reliable purse of the Continental Army. The main achievements include assisting Adams to obtain a Dutch loan during the mission, selling all his industries in Europe and Asia, exchanging a huge sum of 3.5 million pounds from the Jewish chaebol Rothschild family in France, and investing all in the revolution, etc.

His most legendary experience occurred in 1781, on the eve of the victory at Yorktown, the decisive battle of the Revolutionary War.

At that time, the Continental Army regiment led by Washington surrounded the Yorkshire garrison of the Marquess of Cornwallis, but to launch a campaign, at least 20,000 pounds of war funds were needed.

At that time, the credit of the Continental Army was already on the verge of bankruptcy, so that Mr. Robert Morris, the chief financial officer at the time, could only tell Washington by writing, "No funds, no loans."

After Washington received the letter, he went out and turned left and broke into Morris's tent, saying [Tell Haim Solomon].

The war funds of 20,000 pounds arrived as scheduled, and there were rumors that in order to raise enough money in the shortest possible time, Haim Solomon sold a large amount of Continental Army bonds at a low price, directly causing his financial situation to fall into trouble.

Afterwards, after the victory of the War of Independence, Haim Solomon disappeared.

The last news about him comes from last year, on January 6, 1785, Haim Solomon, who was heavily in debt, died at home at the age of 45 because he had no money to seek medical treatment, and a generation of business legends came to an end.

When they got the news, Lorraine and Carmen still felt sorry for their wrists, but now that they saw that charming daughter, Lorraine began to doubt whether the rumors were true or not...

He cleared his throat and asked cautiously, "Your father..."

Miss Solomon is probably used to dealing with such problems. Even though Lorraine hesitated to speak, she still accurately grasped the core of the problem.

"Part of the rumors are true." She said, "Last year, my father died of illness. Although the family is in debt, it is not impossible to pay his medical expenses."

"Uh... sorry."

"He just returned to the embrace of God." Miss Solomon smiled, "Mr. Drake, my father opened a shipyard and a wood processing factory in Boston before his death. Thanks to the care of the Maritime Group of the Chamber of Commerce, we can maintain a decent life. , please allow me to express my gratitude to the long-term Party A, thank you very much.”

"Ah... I didn't expect that the Solomon family turned to the shipbuilding industry..." Lorraine scratched her nose awkwardly, "Since Miss is an industry insider, I probably guessed why you came here with Alexander today. President Are you ready sir?"

"Just as you thought." Hamilton put away his grinning expression. "At 9 o'clock tonight, Mr. President wants to borrow your war room."

"The topic is only the naval revitalization plan?"

"The revolving door no longer needs discussion. Your memo has filled Congress and Mr. President with confidence."

"Is it a characteristic of American politics to be full of confidence without any feedback?"

"Because the U.S. dollar needs to be issued first." Hamilton said bluntly, "Issuing the U.S. dollar requires the support of the states. Mr. President is doing this. Until all obstacles are cleared, you important plutocrats outside the political ecology will not receive concrete information. announcement of."

"Because we're natural supporters?"

"Because you are natural supporters." Hamilton patted Lorraine's arm. "This time, I am here to introduce Miss Solomon to you as entrusted by Mr. President, and to inform you of Mr. President's invitation."

"The president said that the future of the United States needs a strong navy. He and everyone in the Department of the Navy would like to hear the opinions of the maritime group with the most cutting-edge ship technology, and what kind of navy is suitable for the United States in your mind..."
