Under the guidance of the pilot, the seriously damaged golden deer slowly berthed at berth 17 west of Royal port.


    The disappearance of the main mast and the large hole in the side attracted passers-by to stop and watch. They wondered which pirates were so brave that they forced a standard destroyer to ragged.


    Unfortunately, they are destined not to guess the answer.


    The ship stopped steadily and the planks were lowered. Lorraine took the sailors out of the ship, popped a shilling from a distance and landed accurately in the hands of the pilot.


    "Beautiful flag, sir."


    The pilot glanced sympathetically at Lorraine, put away the shilling and pointed to the ship. "It seems that you have had a bad trip, sir."


    "Thunderstorms, waterspouts, icebergs, pirates, accidents are everywhere on the sea. But without these, what else can we experience when we go to sea?"


    "It seems that today is my lucky day to receive a young adventurer." the pilot thumbed up to Lorraine. "Your ship is very strong and can hurt her seriously... Did you meet the pirate king of the Caribbean?"


    Lorraine shook his head with a bitter smile. "You may not believe it. The wound was struck by thunder. We met a thunderstorm on the mid Atlantic ridge."


    "Falling thunder?"


    "Pirates are not terrible." Lorraine shrugged and smiled. "At least compared with the power of heaven and earth, pirates are not terrible at all."


    The pilot nodded sympathetically, "it seems that God has chosen you to bear his anger. If you can survive in this case, you should thank the Lord for his kindness. As for the ship, isn''t it still sinking?"


    "Your explanation is very effective..." Lorraine looked at the pilot with a simple face silently, "ask you something."


    "You said."


    "Has the HMS badger returned? I have an appointment with Lieutenant Colonel Nelson, the captain of the badger."


    The pilot thought carefully: "when you sailed back two days ago, the lieutenant colonel you are looking for is probably on duty in the Navy building, which is the blue leather and brown roofed building not far away. It is very conspicuous. You won''t miss it."


    "Thank you for your guidance, sir."


    ……


    With a clear goal, Lorraine asked Haina and pierce to lead the sailors to unload the gold pounds and gold ware on the ship, select a hotel near the wharf, put on his dress, and drove to the Navy Building with Carmen in a carriage.


    They did not encounter difficulties.


    Half an hour later, Lorraine met the sharp young officer in Nelson''s office.


    Check in, push the door, Lorraine and Carmen are welcomed into the office.


    Nelson walked around his desk with a cheerful face and first bowed deeply to Carmen.


    "I haven''t seen you for many days. You still look dazzling. It turns out that even the grumpy sea breeze will become gentle in front of beauty."


    "You flatter me, Colonel," said Carmen, lifting his skirt. "The sea is not gentle. I''m just lucky to follow an excellent captain."


    "Men tame the sea, women tame men." Nelson smiled cunningly. "Mr. Drake, I''m going to propose to the Secretary of the navy to call female officers on board. Do you think the Secretary will agree?"


    "Recruit a group of English ladies on board? Then you have to prepare fresh carrots in the cabin."


    "Carrots..." Nelson couldn''t help thinking of your lady''s exaggerated makeup. "Hell, the cabin door can''t pass through a wig half a meter high."


    "Then you can''t attract ladies who are willing to go on board. There are some peasant women."


    "It seems that the first proposal in my life is going to die." Nelson nodded depressed and asked Lorraine to enter the side hall. "What would you like to drink? Tea, coffee or rum?"


    "Coffee." Lorraine crossed his legs. "I hope the respected Lieutenant Colonel has authentic Blue Mountains in his hand. If not, I''ll have someone send a bucket of first-class ones later."


    "Then drink tea," Nelson smiled. "The merchant''s mouth is too tricky, so I won''t show my ugliness."


    They laughed.


    After half the greeting, the fragrant Darjeeling was served with fresh milk, sucrose and some rough cakes.


    Lorraine slowly added milk with a milk pot, wondering which angle was more suitable to cut into the subject.


    Who expected Nelson to be far more positive than he thought.


    Before the tea was ready, the young lieutenant colonel smiled and said, "you know, you came at a bad time."


    "What do you say?"


    "I was going to introduce you to Sir Parker and talk to him about you. But I seem to have done too much. Sir knows you that he and the dead lieutenant general Drake are good friends in the army and have worked together for a long time on a ship."


    Lorraine heard Nelson''s blame and explained with a smile: "Sir has a friendship with his dead father, but his dead father doesn''t like to bring his colleagues home, so I don''t know Sir and have no intention to hide."


    "So it is..." Nelson was a little sorry. "Sir, I heard that you came to the new world and even wanted to see you. Unfortunately, when you came, he went out to Hamilton."


    "Hamilton, Bermuda?"


    "Preside over the service ceremony for your brother."


    "It was for major general Drake."


    Nelson frowned. "You don''t have a good relationship with your brother?"


    "Little frictions worth mentioning." Lorraine waved casually. "Lieutenant Colonel, I''m going to set up the branch headquarters in Kingston, and maybe set up some industries. If jazz has a reverie, you can easily find me."


    The topic was properly disassembled.


    The communication between Nelson and Lorraine is based on Nelson''s employment needs. The merit of the fighter plane is fleeting. Lorraine can stay in Kingston for a long time, which is of course a great benefit to him.


    He immediately put the Drake brothers'' family behind him and asked excitedly, "listen to you, are you going to stay in Kingston?"


    "To be exact, I stayed in Kingston for a relatively long time." Lorraine mixed tea and tasted it. "I''m a restless person. The Caribbean is so fascinating. There are so many unknown people waiting for me to explore. How can I enjoy life lazily?"


    "Are you still an Explorer?"


    "Just active and curious."


    "What about your Chamber of Commerce?"


    "Hire people." Lorraine naturally said, "if the person you recommend for me is difficult to be alone, I will continue to look for talents who can be alone. The charm of capital is that I can hire competent people to do what he is good at for me, so as to liberate myself and do what I like."


    "As Uncle odilan said, you are indeed a strange businessman." Nelson chuckled, "but in this way, I don''t know whether the person I recommend is competent."


    "I believe in your vision," Lorraine complimented, "and judging talents is my job, and I also believe in my own judgment."


    "I''m relieved."


    Nelson nodded, stood up, took two parchments and gave them to Lorraine.


    Lorraine took it with both hands and glanced: "Captain chuck Parker, former Quartermaster adjutant of the new world fleet, 26 years old; Lieutenant Richard cotrence, former second deputy of the badger, 28 years old, is this the talent you chose for me?"


    Nelson took out the second piece of paper and solemnly said: "Lieutenant cortelance is my second mate. He is diligent, down-to-earth and familiar with the waters and ports of the Caribbean. He is getting married soon. The woman is a small manor owner in Jamaica. She is a little snobbish. For the sake of future marriage, he needs a decent and rich job. I think under your command, he can make the woman forget his poor family."


    "Looks like a good sailor." Lorraine shook another piece of paper in her hand. "What about Mr. Parker?"


    "This..." Nelson smiled helplessly. "He is smart and has a good reputation. He is Sir Parker''s nephew, a top student of London Business School and an officer of the Quartermaster''s office. Such a person can''t be arranged by a small lieutenant colonel. In fact, he was selected by Sir for you."


    "Sir wants his nephew to work in my chamber of Commerce?"


    Nelson shrugged: "I heard that Captain Parker is not in the army. Although his performance is impeccable, he has submitted six applications for retirement after three years in the army. This time, the Jazz satisfied him."


    Lorraine''s head widened. "You know what? You''ve given me a problem."


    "I know," Nelson smiled, "but difficulties and opportunities often coexist, and there will be no free lunch in the world. What do you say, Mr. Drake."
