Boston?
As the Americans began to see, the fog over Boston dissipated most of it in front of Lorraine.
He seemed to feel the pulse of opportunity.
For some reason, Americans urgently need to transport a large number of arms to Boston, and they can''t fake others. They must be delivered by the Continental Army or its spokesman.
Sadly, the Continental Army does not have the ability to span half of the United States. At the same time, it does not have the right to freely choose its spokesman.
Because all their arms are in Lorraine''s hands. Lorraine promises, there is hope, and Lorraine does not promise, there is no result.
Lorraine is their only choice.
For Lorraine, going to Boston has both advantages and disadvantages, but most of the disadvantages are short-term, visible, but the benefits are long-term and inestimable. The only thing to be vigilant is the current situation of Boston. In other words, the safety of the Jackdaw there.
The Americans inadvertently solved Lorraine''s concerns.
No matter what happened or will happen there, at least for now, it should be safe for the Jackdaw.
Because Thomas Jefferson went there as a representative of the Continental Army.
Although this man has a great reputation, he has made no representative achievements in the military. If Boston is in a fierce battle, the Continental Army must choose a person who has more say in military affairs to take charge of military inspection, rather than him, a top bureaucrat with both political and political excellence.
What''s more, Jefferson is also the governor of Virginia
This personnel arrangement revealed a huge amount of information. Combined with the large demand for arms there, Lorraine had guessed the answer.
Boston, or some people in Boston, may have wavered in their political position.
The political vacillation in the process of independence is actually a very interesting thing, although it has little to do with Lorraine.
He just needs to know that Boston is very important to the United States. This is the right time to sell people.
The second question is what reason to go to Boston.
There is a principle in the marketing concept of future generations, that is, you need to always be better than I give you.
The same is true of this favor.
A sudden change of course and taking over this special contract is not the best idea to maximize benefits.
Because the American pioneers are very smart, their overall quality is not weaker than any political force in the world.
They were able to accurately distinguish the value of their trip to Boston to Lorraine.
How much to lose, how much to earn, and who will invest how much favor, so as to ensure that Lorraine will make a profit without making a profit.
In terms of rational calculation, Lorraine is confident that he can''t defeat those elites and capable people who have left their names in history.
But the United States also has its unavoidable defects.
They are too young, both as countries and individuals, their backgrounds are too clean, and there is no enough reference to judge some of the dark side of the world.
However, they fell in this time.
In order to increase the chips and lure Lorraine to take over the Boston contract, they are trying to reconcile the contradiction between the two pirates with their usual political means.
This matter is a great mystery in the world.
Admittedly, Lorraine does not deny Adams''s analysis of cotton Jack.
The pirate king must have a good wish to go ashore to deliver arms to the Virginia militia at no cost.
But!
Pirates are thugs.
Including Lorraine, they are not rational political creatures at all. In that predatory world, dignity and prestige are much more valuable than money.
Cotton Jack will never buy peace from Lorraine. Even if Lorraine''s offer is only one penny, as long as he pays the money, it means that his reputation for years of hard work will be completely destroyed.
Is it possible for the pirate king who has lost his prestige to persist until the victory of the United States?
If he can''t live to win the United States, what''s the point of all his actions, paying the price and suffering humiliation?
If he loses his meaning, why does he have to humiliate himself?
Not at all, not at all, necessary!
The real powers in the world know the thinking of pirates.
In fact, there has never been a real love affair in the pirate world. The so-called ransom peace is just a cover for those who are willing to live below to those who are superior from the beginning of its birth.
However, the United States does not understand.
This cognitive defect has nothing to do with intelligence. It is a blind area of vision purely due to the differences of experience and thinking mode.
They can not understand this cruel and irrational principle of doing things. They can only willingly believe that nothing can really be abandoned under sufficient pressure and interests according to the ecological environment in the political field.
Thinking of this, Lorraine turned her head slightly and looked at Adams''s passionate and sincere face with the most sincere attitude.
"Kenvi, you need to put forward conditions! As the victim of this conflict, your conditions will become the first cornerstone of this reconciliation!"
"Conditions?" Lorraine looked embarrassed. "Although I know a lot about the negotiations, his Highness has a wide reputation on the sea of the new world, but I''m just a fledgling smuggler..."
"Behind you is America, kenvi. Compared with the unequal strength, you should know the great significance of this reconciliation to human civilization, democracy and freedom!"
"Peace talks between pirates and smugglers..."
"Why belittle yourself, kenvi? Your reconciliation will bring victory to America. When America wins, will you still be a mere pirate and smuggler?"
Lorraine suddenly realized.
"I''m amazed at your wisdom, and I''m grateful for the friendship of America, sir. Please believe my sincerity. If I don''t have to, I don''t want personal gratitude and resentment above business."
This is an appropriate expression, in line with human nature.
With Edward KENWAY''s strength, it is more or less dangerous to go to war with cotton Jack. On the premise that life and interests are damaged, rational people will grasp the straw to save lives.
Adams smiled clearly: "but from the perspective of a passer-by, kenvey, there is a saying among diplomats that don''t expect to get anything that can''t be robbed on the battlefield at the negotiating table."
Lorraine''s face suddenly darkened, just as Adams expected.
Under the guidance of Adams, Lorraine quickly drew up his own settlement draft, including [public apology at the maritime brotherhood], [compensation of 240 pounds for the repair cost of the Jackdaw and 62 pounds for casualties], [truce between the two sides before the victory of the United States], and so on.
Adams had hoped that Lorraine would step back, give up public apology and apologize face to face, but Lorraine insisted and was even willing to give up compensation and truce.
Adams had to give up.
After some discussion, Adams happily poured two cups to sprinkle.
"Your conditions let me see the hope of reconciliation, kenvi. I will convey them to cotton Jack in advance through the Continental Congress and ask Mr. Jackson to put pressure on you and try his best to protect what you deserve."
"It doesn''t matter, sir." Lorraine sipped his wine wearily. "The key is that peace can come and the American people can continue to be supported."
"This is also our hope."
"Senator, is the peace talks in Boston?"
"Of course," Adams replied naturally, "although it''s far away, please understand that Mr. Jefferson can''t finish his business there in a short time."
"You misunderstood. I mean... The contract."
Adams was surprised. "Kenvi, have you changed your mind?"
"Business is business, sir. The negotiations must be postponed for a long time. I need to explain to the count, even if it is only part of it." Lorraine carefully brewed words. "Moreover, the United States has taken a lot of trouble for me this time. A little loss may make up for my apology."
"It''s not your fault... Kenvi, it''s not your fault."
