In 1781, George Washington, commander-in-chief of the American Continental Army, led an army to besiege the main force of the British army in York town.
Lieutenant general Francois Joseph Paul de glass of the French Navy began to plan a decisive naval battle.
He integrated 32 battleships of the French Caribbean fleet, blocked the Chesapeake Bay and cut off the logistics channel of the British army in York town.
At that time, the British mainland fleet changed dramatically. Major general shack Francis Drake, the former sub fleet commander, was implicated in the impeachment case and stepped down hastily.
Rear admiral graves took over, supported 19 battleships with sub fleet formation 1 and 2 and British mainland, and was ordered to enter Chesapeake to break the French logistics blockade.
The two sides came into contact on September 5. Major general graves made a mistake in command, resulting in two-thirds of the warships failed to enter the battlefield, the avant-garde unit was set on fire, and the [HMS terror] was seriously injured and abandoned (not sunk but not captured).
On September 10, France was supported by eight more battleships. Major general graves was forced to give up the battle and the naval battle in Chesapeake Bay ended.
On October 13, General Charles Cornwallis commanded the British troops in York town to surrender, and the war of Independence came to an end.
After the battle of York Town, the war of independence left only the debate in the diplomatic field until the signing of the Paris contract on September 3, 1783, and the war ended with the victory of the United States.
Lorraine withdrew from the French smuggling sequence in June 1781, and Edward kenvey disappeared in July of the same year.
It is impossible to know whether the French went to the east coast to search for the hero behind the war of independence with a huge amount of money, but Lorraine knows that the industry under the kenvi business group was still under secret surveillance by unknown people until 1783.
Unfortunately, the monitor is doomed to find no clues.
The road label experienced seven turnover in just one year. Finally, it was bought by a sailboat collector named forth Carter at an underground auction in Elgin at a high price of 13000 pounds. Now it is collected in a private dock in Plymouth and lives next to the beauty of Attis.
Haite shipyard was sold to Drake maritime group.
Maritime group is a newly emerged super large shipping group after 1780. Its predecessor was a small private dock on the island of St. Diana, Bermuda.
After being acquired by Drake, she acquired 23 Bermuda private docks and established a maritime group within two months.
In 1781, she acquired Boston Haite shipyard at the price of 30% shares and 75000 pounds in cash. After the Paris contract was signed in 1783, she publicly acquired Baltimore lorist Shipyard with similar treatment.
After the merger and acquisition, the maritime group has become a super shipping group with two first-class docks, one third-class dock, five fourth-class docks, sixteen fifth class docks and forty-two sixth class docks. It integrates design, manufacturing, maintenance and forestry, and has a total asset of more than one million pounds. Its overall scale ranks first in the new world and 12th in the world.
And the essence of the three high-speed bases of Boston, Bermuda and Baltimore has become the pioneer of the global high speed sailing boat.
In February 1784, the 15 meter slup experimental ship [sea ghost] set a speed record of 22.5 knots during its voyage from Boston to St. Dana port, almost marking the early birth of the flying shear ship.
Road label and Haite shipyard are the only things left to Lorraine by kenvi. In addition, the remaining industries were sold into the free market after several careful turnover.
The seller is Drake''s shadow. The buyer has nothing to do with Drake. Even if the tracker has good hands and eyes, they can''t find out the relationship between Lorraine and Edward KENWAY on these dead objects.
Lorraine ananson Drake is just a shining star who made a fortune with the pirate war and rose rapidly in English business circles like his ancestors.
The Drake chamber of Commerce in 1784 was so powerful.
With the asset management company of the General Chamber of Commerce as the core, the whole chamber of Commerce has four branches: European branch (formerly European Northwest Branch), American branch (formerly Caribbean branch), African branch and maritime group.
Headquartered in St. Dana, Bermuda, maritime group is the largest group with independent assets, with a market value of more than 1 million pounds, a total operating volume of more than 150000 pounds and a profit of 63000 pounds in 1783.
Headquartered in Southampton, England, the European branch is the earliest and most profitable mainstay of the chamber of Commerce. In recent years, Ramos has been busy reducing the proportion of property rental and purchasing its own industries. The market value is second only to maritime group, reaching 700000 pounds. In 1783, the total business volume was 220000 and the profit was 79000.
The headquarters of the American branch was relocated several times, in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1780, and moved to St. George''s port, Bermuda in 1781. After the signing of the Paris peace treaty, it was quickly transferred to New York. With the strong strength of Drake chamber of Commerce and the unspeakable special contacts of Lorraine team in the United States, it received a series of preferential treatment in the early days of the founding of the United States.
After the establishment of the New York headquarters, its total market value jumped to 400000 pounds, with a total turnover of 290000 and a profit of 120000 in 1783. Thanks to the relaxed business environment and low production costs in North America, although the overall strength is still not as good as that of the European chapter, chuck Parker''s ability to create profits has left Ramos piddick far behind.
Finally, there is Carmen Xavier, general manager of the General Assembly asset management company, established in 1782.
Over the years of the development of the chamber of Commerce, Lorin has been unable to accurately position the role of the General Chamber of Commerce in the whole group. Without the trade function, she has been closer to a name for a long time, an establishment for temporarily transferring directly affiliated fleets, or a basic framework for dividing interests instead of Lorin.
Until the huge smuggling dividends poured into the chamber of Commerce, the value of the chamber of Commerce was finally reflected in the ultra-high-speed development of several years, that is, the management of wholly-owned assets and the audit of branch property.
The asset management company of the Federation consists of four departments: fixed asset management, accounting and audit, chamber of commerce school and directly subordinate fleet.
At the beginning of its establishment, the fixed assets management section had the whole island of St. Dana Bermuda, a wharf with a total of 26 berths on the west coast of Luxi, Jamaica, the whole island of Little Cayman and two manors in Luxi and crownest.
In March 1783, Lorraine bought the Miami estuary from the Indians with 1000 Brown Beth rifles and 5000 barrels of rum. In July, the deal was extended to the coast of the bay of Biscay in North America, including all islands and land 300 kilometers west of the coastline.
The total cost of completing these acquisitions was only 30000 pounds. The Indians also generously presented West Palm Island, which is of special significance to Lorraine, which means that more than half of Miami and the vast barren land of the whole West Palm Beach City have become Lorraine''s private rights.
Considering the future development momentum of the United States, the transaction has been fully and formally reported in the United States, Britain and Spain, which has influence on the Florida Peninsula. These procedures are complicated. Because it is necessary to submit the transaction tax, Lorraine spent nearly 50000 pounds on the reporting
Taking Miami is to build a foundation for the future Drake chamber of Commerce.
Adjacent to the Florida Strait, it is an important export of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico to North America and the Atlantic Ocean. It is not only a strategic place for trade in North America and the Caribbean, but also an important fulcrum of the pirate war.
Combined with St. Dana island of Bermuda and port Lucy of Jamaica, which Lorraine previously purchased and built, his fleet can form a comprehensive and tight package for the Bahamas, the confidant of Caribbean Pirates, in the vast sea area, and will play an inestimable role in the future war and the development of the chamber of Commerce after the war.
For this reason, the construction of Miami area began from the beginning of land purchase.
The first phase focuses on Miami town in the estuary area, including the future Drake business school, the anchor port of the directly subordinate fleet headquarters, the ship development research center, the sailor community and Drake estuary manor. It is planned to form a residential scale of 5000 to 10000 people within four years.
The second phase focuses on the bay of Biscay, which focuses on defense and trade, including the coastal fort of Biscay Island, the coastal fortress of Virginia Island, and the more inboard bridge, commercial port, dock, warehouse and Trade Center.
Due to the abundant funds, these construction are also carried out in the same period, and the cycle is still four years.
Another core Department of asset management companies is the direct fleet.
Since the establishment of Lorraine''s direct fleet, it has implemented the model of temporary transfer from its branch based on the needs of war.
The advantage of the first mock exam is that it is cheap, and saves a lot of additional maintenance costs. At the same time, Lorraine''s prestige is also sufficient for those temporarily deployed warships, such as arms.
However, with the continuation and expansion of the pirate war, this "direct mode without direct subordinate" began to have a greater and greater impact on the operation of the American branch. Change is imminent, and the opportunity for change is the establishment of the maritime group.
Lorraine has its own shipyard and reliable and cheap access to cutting-edge ships. Those high-speed warships born for the pirate war continue to leave the dock, replacing the status of the transfer ship with stable speed and reliable combat effectiveness.
With the golden deer as its flagship, the new direct fleet has six class V high-speed destroyers, ten class VI brig frigates and eight class VI brigantin communication ships, a total of 24, and a pierce special service formation. The main anchor port is located in Lusi port, Jamaica.
Valkiri has not been included in the establishment of the direct fleet because her delivery has been delayed.
In terms of construction planning, her delivery time should have been at the end of 1783, and all external sea trials had been completed in July 1783.
However, after St. Dana actually installed all the firepower, she stumbled in the subsequent internal sea trial.
The center of gravity of the ship is unstable, saturated artillery stall
It took Karen and most of the elite of the maritime group five months to find the problem. It took another five months to make new technical modifications to its deck layout and sailings, raising the high-speed and low-speed of valkiri by 1 section and 0.5 section respectively. The second round of internal sea trial was not started until late July 1784, a year after the completion of the external sea trial.
At that time, the lady, which was built two years late, had already anchored from St. George''s port to Africa with pierce and those boys who would only cause trouble.
However, it was precisely because of valkiri''s delay in delivery that Lorraine was able to get out of the quagmire of the pirate war and come to Europe to preside over the funeral of Sir Garman
