Six Hundred and Eighty Powerful Rogue
December 18 is destined to be a fulfilling day.
New York has been receiving wave after wave of climaxes since the morning, and Lorraine's schedule is really full.
In the morning at the Dukov Chamber of Commerce to observe the grand event on Wall Street on the discount day, at noon we turned to St. Mark’s Church to prepare for the wedding, in the afternoon we confronted the Public Security Bureau, and in the evening we practiced for Valkyrie.
Everyone in the Drake Chamber of Commerce, except Lorraine and Carmen, headed east after Pierce's wedding, including Pierce, who had just become a married man. annual meeting.
Mercury Estates private marina.
Valkyrie is preparing to set sail, and Lorraine, Wang Ye, and Bell are saying goodbye at the pier.
"Wang Ye." Lorraine said with regret on his face, "I didn't expect so many things to happen before I came here. If there is no accident, we probably won't be able to attend your wedding, and we won't be able to practice it for you. See you next time, we should We have to wait until the annual meeting."
Wang also smiled: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and there are always times when mountains are high and rivers are long. Captain, since the future is long, you and I don't need to be children."
"It's true that speaking Chinese is getting better and better." Lorraine was amused by Wang Ye, and patted his arm angrily, "Asia is far away, even if it's an annual meeting, it's impossible for you and Eddie to attend it every year." .”
"Probably send representatives to attend the meeting? If so, you must bring Miss Shi to come next year, and I will make up a banquet for you."
"A gentleman's word!"
"A four-horse horse is hard to catch!"
Saying goodbye to Wang Ye, Lorraine frowned and looked at Bell.
"Valkyrie is temporarily handed over to you." He said, "The guys' families are all on board, and they must be sent back to Miami safely no matter what. This time you have full power to act cheaply, don't hesitate."
"I'm much better at escaping than you." Bell grimaced, "It's only a few days' voyage, even if the Freemasons are so powerful that they mobilized warships from the entire Caribbean to encircle us at sea, I wouldn't will hold you back."
Lorraine nodded: "I believe you."
"You can always trust me." Bell thought for a while, took out his short gun and patted Lorraine's hand, "Dublin, the only thing I brought out from the Royal Navy is my lucky charm...everything careful."
Lorraine put the gun in his back solemnly, pretending to be relaxed: "It's all about catching mice, no matter how famous a mouse is, it won't be Viking's opponent."...
The Valkyrie sets sail, rides the night, and sails south.
They will sail from the East River into the Upper New York Bay, then cross the channel, turn east from the Lower New York Bay, abandon the mature coastal route for exploration, and take the difficult-to-control remote land route to St. Dyna Island.
Looking at the crew of the Valkyrie, only Lorraine or Bell pilots can adapt to this unfamiliar route temporarily.
At the same time, Valkyrie is blessed to have two world-class navigators. In contrast, Freemasonry, which is not originally a war professional, even has military members, but if it wants to predict and accurately intercept, the risk is at least It has dropped by 60%.
Considering Bell Night Flight, Valkyrie's risk can be further reduced by 20%.
Watching Valkyrie disappear into the night, Lorraine let out a long breath.
Carmen smiled coquettishly at the side: "All the burdens have been sent away, are you going to do something big next, my captain?"
Lorraine couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"You clearly know that if it wasn't for the revolving door meeting, you are the one I most want to withdraw this time..."
Carmen couldn't hide her curiosity: "Do you really think the Freemasonry will launch an all-out war?"
"I don't know." Lorraine spread his hands, "Our previous opponents were either kingdoms or pirates. There are traces of their actions. Even in the most dangerous environment, we can make deduction in advance and know the worst situation. "
"The situation this time is not necessarily dangerous, but the secret society is an unfamiliar enemy. We are not familiar with their actions, we don't know their bottom line and support, and we hear nothing. In order not to regret today's negligence in the future, I would rather put them As the mightiest scoundrel."
"The most powerful scoundrel..." Carmen muttered twice, "I understand, when you and Minister Hamilton reach a consensus, I will go to the minister's house to bother you for a few days, and I will not add extra work burden, okay?"
"Live with Alexander for a few days..." Lorraine savored these words depressedly, "Sounds really unpleasant..."
...
At night, Lorraine's last itinerary today was to visit the sick.
Illness is not a disease, but an injury. Although the United States did not disclose the actual injury of Hamilton after the assassination, Lorraine guessed that one of the two throwing knives missed and the other should have been stabbed in the left shoulder, which was not deep. It just looks serious.
Lorraine is still very sure of his intuition, so he prepared pork shoulder, which is the famous Black Forest smoked ham, as a gift for his visit.
The carriage drove to the Federal Hall on Wall Street, and Edley, who was driving, showed Lorraine's business card and filled out the visitor registration.
Immediately, a sentry on duty rushed to the government affairs hall from the back door, and another sentry boarded the car, took the reins from Aidelai, and drove to the other courtyard of the official residence from the other side of the road.
Lorraine thinks they forgot the security check.
After all, this is the political confidant of the United States, and there are many people who work overtime at night. If a visit like Lorraine's with a knife and gun injures any well-dressed gentleman in the wall, it should have dealt a big blow to American politics.
However, there is no security check.
Drive for a while. Walking through the courtyard, bypassing the Congress, strolling on a grassy hill, you will come to a simple three-story building in a short while.
Standing outside the door was a plainly dressed middle-aged lady, short in stature, a bit fat, wearing a blue and white home dress, with a floral headscarf wrapped around her gray hair, making it difficult to tell whether it was a maid or a lady .
Lorraine didn't dare to neglect and got out of the car immediately.
The woman stood outside the door and looked at Lorraine with a smile: "Is it President Drake? I am Martha, Martha Dandridge Washington."
Martha Washington, the first lady of the United States, was once a well-known wealthy widow in Virginia. She married Washington, who was one year younger than her ex-husband, more than a year after her ex-husband passed away.
Lorraine did not expect that the 56-year-old first lady, who has been accompanied by wealth and honor all her life, could actually see her 56-year-old appearance, and hurried to greet her, touching her chest and saluting.
"Lorraine, Lorraine Anason Drake, from Tavistock, England. It's an honor to meet you, Mrs. Washington."
Mrs. Washington showed a kind and generous smile: "I have heard a lot about you, the son of the noble Baron Tavistock's family. He always opposes his brother and has done a lot for George."
From this sentence alone, Lorraine could tell that she was an insider of Edward Kenway. The Washington couple's affection and trust far surpassed Lorraine's knowledge from the intelligence. Mrs. Washington's frankness also made Lorraine unable to bear heartbreak.
"You are an excellent first lady." Lorraine admired from the bottom of her heart.
"If it is true, I will be very happy." Madam said, "Mr. President may not know, I don't understand politics, and I can do my best to maintain social relationships. Elites like you and Alexander can help George. A worthy leader's wife."
"I heard that Queen Sophie is not involved in political affairs, but this does not prevent her from being more enthusiastically loved in Great Britain than Her Majesty George III." Lorraine retorted, "On the contrary, everyone knows that Queen Mary is the real queen of Fontainebleau." at the helm, but the negative parity against her has never subsided, and not many commoners see her as a mother."
"It can be seen that politics has never been a necessary ability to examine a leader's wife. You are a kind person. This is the blessing of the United States. You don't have to belittle yourself."
"This is the most beautiful compliment I've heard since I came to New York." Mrs. Washington took the initiative to hold Lorraine's arm, "George is still dealing with matters in the government office, are you here to visit Alexander? Come in, Mr. Coachman Come in and warm yourself."
"Yes." Lorraine was more respectful than obedient, "Is Alexander's injury okay? I heard he was seriously injured?"
"The injury...it's okay." Mrs. Washington rarely showed a nervous expression, "but he seemed to be very angry since the injury, and when George decided to lock him into the guest room, he became even angrier..."
