Seven Hundred Sincerity in the Cabinet

The weather in the capital world is cloudy and changeable, which is particularly evident in the preparation process of the First Bank, which is related to the lifeline of the American economy.

Hamilton had been lobbying for his revolving door scheme since 1785.

At that time, not many people were optimistic about this whimsical plan, and Hamilton was left out in the cold. This allowed Lorraine and Baishanglian, a group of businessmen with empty wealth but no political support, to get the biggest piece of the whole cake. .

Until the end of 1786, the cake was finally distributed for the first time in the form of a secret memorandum.

Combined with the news obtained later, the Baishang Association occupies the first place with 48.6%, the Philadelphia ceremony occupies the second place with 22%, and the third is the Canaan ceremony with 21.2%.

Lorraine did not know who the remaining 8.2% of the shares belonged to until today. They belonged to the source of inspiration for the First Bank of America... Central Bank of the Kingdom of Great Britain: Bank of England.

In Lorraine's view, the Americans certainly do not want the British central bank to be directly involved in the operations of the American country's economic lifeline.

The problem is, they can't say no.

On the one hand, the Bank of England entrusted the British Chamber of Commerce to participate in the share competition in the form of an agent, but they chose to show their horses and horses in an upright manner.

If the United States refuses to join these chambers of commerce, the Bank of England is likely to hide itself in the next step, including the Drake Chamber of Commerce in Lorraine. At that time, everyone will become an object that Americans must be vigilant and careful about.

On the other hand, the economic environment in France is getting worse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the end of last year, Louis XVI fired his financial employee, Ann Robert Jacques Turgot, and Jacques Necker at the beginning of this year.

These two are economic experts trusted by the so-called third class. Their departure has cast a shadow over the long-awaited three-level parliament. French capitalists are generally pessimistic about the country's future.

The Philadelphia Rite heard the voice of revolution from his fraternity hall, the Paris Rite. The radical Americans declared that France needed its own Great Protector, and that the Bourbon Dynasty needed to be overthrown by the Republic.

This radical trend has aroused the vigilance of Philadelphia's ritual elite.

They know that the United States is far from mature enough to live independently without their guardians. If Father Fa is destined to fall ill, then they must find a way to ease their relationship with Mother Ying.

For example, pretending to be a filial son...

The filial United States regards the 8.2% promise as the first step in the reconciliation between Britain and the United States, which was originally a good move.

But Philadelphia did not notice Canaanite's prying eyes at all when he placed this chess piece. Therefore, when Canaanite suddenly appeared and was stepped on by Lorraine's tail during several rounds of sunrise, the whole situation changed.

The retreat of the Canaanites left a huge vacancy of 21.2%, and the Bank of England immediately stepped forward like a shark smelling fish, demanding to take all of this part.

The United States cannot accept this request.

Once the 21.2% is handed over, the UK can become the largest shareholder beyond Philadelphia at any time through the collection of internal equity, and the British will become the chairman of the US central bank, which will be absolutely essential to the future federal government Scandal and disaster.

But, do you refuse?

Just like the original reason, it is difficult for the United States to reject the request of the United Kingdom straightforwardly, and Philadelphia even dared not put these shares in the market, because no one knows which chambers of commerce are behind the Bank of England.

Franklin came up with another brilliant idea.

On the one hand, he proposed to increase the Bank of England's shares to 19.9%, an increase of 11.7%, to satisfy the dignity and greed of the British.

On the other hand, the remaining 9.5% will be sold through bidding, and the bidding method proposed by the Americans is... war!

...

"Kenway, what do you think of the Long Island Fleet?"

By the small lake of Villa No. 1 in Mercury Manor, Hamilton asked enthusiastically.

This question is very strange.

The Long Island Fleet is the core of the second-generation U.S. Navy revitalization plan. The entire fleet is composed of new ships and U.S. naval elites drawn from each fleet.

If Hamilton is asking about ships, every ship in this fleet is produced by Drake Maritime Group, and even the configuration plan and anchor port construction are carried out under the guidance of the Maritime Group, Lorraine is impossible and has no position Said she was bad.

If Hamilton was asking about people and training...

The United States has not invited Lorraine to visit, even if he scoffs at these amateur professional soldiers in his heart, can he really say that?

Lorraine laughed dryly twice, laughing so hard that Hamilton's heart shuddered, so he could only follow along.

After the two chatted for a long time, Hamilton became angry and said, "Now! The current Long Island Fleet!"

"The formation time of the Long Island Fleet has to be calculated on a monthly basis. Before and now, what can there be..."

The flagship USS Maryland of the Baltimore fleet!

Lorraine woke up with a start.

On the way to New York, he had witnessed the formation training of the USS Maryland, the flagship of the Baltimore Fleet, and the USS Constitution, the flagship of the Long Island Fleet.

Out of curiosity, he arranged for someone to take a brief look, and found that the USS America, the flagship of the Boston Fleet, also appeared in Sag Harbor, the anchor port of the Long Island Fleet.

On Christmas Eve, the Americans gathered all their new high-speed ships on Long Island, and subsequent facts proved that the gathering of these warships was not for the Canaanite ceremony. At least when they assembled, the Americans did not attach as much importance to the Canaanite ceremony as they do now. .

What is the purpose of their gathering? The only possibility is war.

Lorraine suddenly thought of Shaq's Christmas present.

Before leaving, Emmons sent Lorraine a sixty-eight-pound mortar.

Lorraine has no way of knowing whether Shaq knows that the poisonous snake he raised murdered an active battleship of the Royal British Navy behind his back, but at least Shaq must know that Emmons has the stock that Lorraine needs.

He's about to be transferred. Before resigning, take stock of the combat preparations. No matter what Emmons hid, that period is the best time to transfer it to Lorraine.

As for why he specifically chose to send things over before Lorraine left for New York, it is likely that he had already heard about the American war plan at that time, and he was sure that Lorraine would be involved in this war.

Based on this calculation, the time for the motion of this war should have been in October last year... maybe earlier.

My mind is clear.

Lorraine showed a clear smile: "Alexander, does the United States want to attack the pirate empire?"

"Sure enough, this matter cannot be hidden from His Royal Highness, the Great White Flag Pirate King." Hamilton joked, "Kenway, we are going to end the cancer of the Pirate Empire of the Caribbean for the civilized world, and use the "Pirate Code" hidden in Nassau as a A tribute to the founding of the United States of America!"

【Roses wither battle】.

Since the Battle of Wai Rust Island, the United States has been planning to launch a devastating sea strike against the pirate empire. It wants to use the body of this century-old dragon to wash away the shame of being invaded by the country, and at the same time demonstrate the sharpness of the United States to the world. minions.

It is obviously impossible to do this with the strong and powerful fishery fleet of the United States alone. Therefore, Lieutenant General Robert Smith, then the admiral of the Long Island Fleet and an old friend of Lorraine, proposed in a high-level special meeting that the elite new warships of the United States As the backbone, a large number of mercenaries were recruited.

The main source of mercenaries can be those big chaebols who are interested in the revolving door project. They have money, ships, well-trained sailors, and they can rely on the United States. As long as it is done properly, the United States does not even need to pay compensation for war damage.

This suggestion was unanimously appreciated by the high-ranking officials present at the meeting. The [Rose Withered Operation], which was taken from the symbol of the pirate empire, the desert rose, was officially launched. The Christmas dinner that was canceled a few days ago was secretly given a new mission and became a part of the battle plan. A mercenary recruiting ceremony.

Then, the Governor's Island attack happened. The meaning of Operation Rose Wither to the United States suddenly changed from "want to do" to "must do".

Philadelphia raised the Bank of England's pre-purchase quota on the condition that Great Britain must agree to the United States and its subordinate ships launching unlimited military attacks on the British colony, New Providence Island where Nassau is located.

The British agreed, the plan was formed, the backbone was assembled, and there was only the cannon fodder in General Smith's heart, which has not yet been seen.

The above is the development process of [Roses Wither Operation], which was dictated by Hamilton and translated into English by Lorraine himself.

Lorraine tapped on the fishing rod for a while to digest, and asked sincerely.

"Alexander, I have always considered America a friend... more precisely, a suitable long-term partner. But now I am curious, how does America position itself?"

"Uh...sorry..."

"Mr. Washington went north, and Boston hired Valkyrie. No one paid for the transportation and shipping costs with the fleet directly under Drake. Later, my fleet fought against pirates in Outer Rust, and no one offered compensation."

"In the night battle on Governor's Island, I killed 27 great guys, and 29 were seriously injured, 11 of whom were disabled. My allies dispatched the most elite 53 people at hand, 38 died, and 3 were seriously injured."

"The target of the Canaan ceremony is you, a high-ranking government official in the United States. During the process, you also received the blatant support of Williams Castle."

"But what about the result? The loss is still borne by us. The day before yesterday, New York State issued a special notice asking me to settle the estate lease fee totaling 3,200 pounds from December 20 to 24 within 15 days."

"My dear Alexander, Mr. Alexander Hamilton, what does the United States think? In the heart of the United States, who are you? What are we?"

"Kenway..."

"My name is Lorraine, Lorraine Anason Drake, Mr. Minister."

Lorraine looked at Hamilton.

"In short, why do we keep bleeding for the Americans. The second question is that the Baishang Association can completely withdraw from the revolving door, but are Americans willing to hand over your door to the Bank of England?"

Lorraine shook out the fishing hook with a shake of his hand, only to hear a bang, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water.

"Go back, Alexander, next time you come, don't forget to bring the sincerity from the cabinet."

"Adios."
