Baltimore, bunker reception hall.
The living room of the water bunker was originally a strange saying, because the water bunker is only a warehouse with its own wet dock or warehouse wharf. Warehousing is its main function, and it is obviously not for receiving guests.
However, just like the Cherbourg water tank in those years, the water tank here has also been significantly transformed. For example, a bank has been built in Xiangjie, a vault has been built underground, and the meeting room is built on this vault.
So it is obvious that this bunker is a genuine smuggling dens.
There are now four people in the reception hall: Colonel Hamilton, the fighter of justice, a pudgy civilian official who is used as a deputy, the smuggling captain who volunteered to bleed for justice, and the captain''s beautiful staff lady Carmen.
They represent the most selfless and noble Freedom League in the world today. They are working hard every minute for the freedom and democracy of 3 million people. When it comes to the cause of justice, the conversation between them is naturally tense.
"Mr. KENWAY, you said you were the full-fledged freight forwarder of count galvis. Can I know how many sources you control?"
"It seems that you still doubt the count''s trust in me." Lorraine was helpless, "My goods are mainly guns, including 1500 charlville rifles per month, 1000 dragon cavalry pistols, corresponding ammunition and most consumables. The main consumables are military uniforms and bandages, as well as a small amount of opium poppy. Please understand that opium poppy is a pure natural excellent painkiller, and the count and I are not interested in drug trafficking."
"I trust the count''s character," Hamilton said. "No guns?"
"If there is a gun, it is 100%, not 70%
The Colonel nodded, "what price?"
"The cause of aid to the United States is a cause related to human justice. The count said that he can''t charge any fees other than the cost, so the price is much lower than the market." lorington said, "the unit price of rifle is 100 pounds, and the unit price of pistol is 50 pounds. The consumables and ammunition of a ship per month are the goodwill of the count. We deliver them free of charge."
The pudgy civil servant snorted coldly, "what a price lower than the market price. Your price is much higher than before!"
"Is it high? This unreasonable gentleman who has not given his name, if our quotation is higher than the market price in Baltimore, you can give up our materials and seek cooperation with others."
In the confrontation between the Deputy seats, Carmen naturally took over the conversation, and his voice was filled with strong confidence.
"Please forgive the women''s nature of fashion. I fully appreciated the scenery of Baltimore with my female companions just now. It''s strange that most of the dresses and accessories here are 77 years old. I haven''t seen any ships other than the military on such a large wharf."
"During the revolution, the Confederate people were careless about luxury, which disappointed Ms. Carmen, who was unwilling to disclose her surname."
The civil servant proudly raised his chin.
"As for what you said about changing partners, it''s not that we can''t do it. We''re just worried that it will hurt the feelings of French friends. This is very important because we cherish friendship."
"Cherish friendship on a depressed Pier?"
"Baltimore is a pearl. On the west coast, her prosperity is nowhere to be reached."
Carmen laughed contemptuously.
"The United States is not peaceful yet, but good politicians have matured. Unreasonable sir, you really can lie with your eyes open."
"Each other, lady."
"Carmen!" "cough!"
The argument escalated into a quarrel, and Lorraine and Hamilton spoke together.
Carmen bowed his head and pretended to be guilty. The short and fat official snorted heavily, twisted his head and stopped talking.
Hamilton breathed a sigh of relief when the dispute over the resumption came to an abrupt end.
"Mr. KENWAY, your staff reminds me of another respectable lady."
"Is it Mrs. Adams? Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams, I''ve heard some of her ideas. Although it''s a little idealistic, as a woman, she does have a unique insight."
Hamilton obviously didn''t expect to hear the full name of the congressman''s wife from a pirate. He couldn''t help looking at the pudgy official in surprise.
He straightened his mind and carefully worded: "I don''t know Mr. KENWAY..."
"I didn''t think I would be interested in politics?"
Hamilton could only nod.
Lorraine shook his head and smiled: "I really want to tell you that I understand all the independent fighters because I admire them. However, it''s not."
"No?"
"Do you two gentlemen know the intelligence traffickers?"
This kind of thing, of course.
"Thanks to the brave and good fighting American allies, since general Clinton went south to Savannah and even weightless south of New York, you two may only regard these as the humiliation of defeat, but for us freight forwarders who embrace justice and ignore gains and losses, today... Is different from the past."
"From New Orleans to Baltimore, from crossing the Grand Bahamas, the whole route has become a hunting ground for the British. We are like a group of rabbits driven into wolves. If we are not careful, we will be swallowed up by people with belt bones."
"There is only one life," Lorraine said seriously. "The Lord gives us life. Our parents raise us as adults. No one wants to die worthless. So I tried to inquire about my opponents. Maybe it is the reason why this business is very valuable. As a gift, I also got additional information from the Drafting Committee of the declaration of independence."
There was a mixture of subtle humiliation and relief, and the expressions of Colonel Hamilton and the pudgy officials were a little complicated.
But obviously, what is more important now is the intelligence dinner in Lorraine''s mouth. They all want to know what made Lorraine pass through the bay mouth blockade that no one broke in for more than a month and send precious arms to the Continental Army.
Hamilton swallowed his saliva. "Mr. KENWAY, what is your opponent?"
"Have you heard of the Drake family?" Lorraine changed the opening. "That famous naval family in England."
Hamilton certainly nodded.
"Francis Drake is their ancestor. He is a legendary pirate in the Caribbean. He has sailed around the world and defeated the invincible fleet. He is one of the founders of British maritime power and is still widely respected today."
"His descendants are not simple. They have held important positions in the Navy for several generations and are deeply trusted by the British king and British people."
"Elijah Drake, the former patriarch of the Drake family, was well-known in the Mediterranean. At that time, he was called the lion of the Mediterranean. The Royal Navy tailored the HMS lion for him. Unfortunately, his luck was bad and his halberd sank."
"His eldest son is now the commander of the continental fleet, shack Drake. Shack is the youngest major general among the British active service officers. He is good at regional defense, especially at hanging the enemy in defense, so he is called the forest of the sea."
"He is also a master of tactics. His best round formation defense tactics are called [shack tactics] by his colleagues. It shows his superb skills to be crowned with his own name in a conventional formation tactics."
"Elia also has an illegitimate son, Lorraine Drake, an unknown marine. But I heard that he was a mercenary of the Halloween fleet in the battle of the Xiangfeng islands. After the war, his chamber of Commerce harvested a class IV ship, a class V ship and two class VI ships."
"Under what conditions can mercenaries occupy the captured ships? It is clear from the results that he captured all the above with a class V ship. When the great France was dominant in all aspects, it was still defeated by a privateer, and it was a disastrous defeat."
"We are fighting against this monster family, gentlemen! The count told me that the success rate of breaking through Shaq''s cooperative defense tactics is less than 60%. Two fifths of American aid ships were captured or sunk in the process, but that was a few months ago."
"Baltimore has just experienced helplessness for more than a month. Since Drake, who is famous for his defense, blocked the bay mouth, are there any other freight merchants lucky to get in before me?"
Lorraine took a deep breath, stood up, took Carmen and left the door.
Before walking out of the door, he stopped without looking back.
"In the contact list given to me by the count, my contact person should be the honourable Senator Adams. In that case, please tell him my price."
"My crew needs a reason to work for the United States, I need a reason to die for justice, and the adventurers at sea also need a reason to challenge the impossible."
"It''s time for Americans to reassess the price of human life, because every gun and bullet you have is bought by freight forwarders. Please don''t think that only you are sacrificing. Everyone is sacrificing for justice."
