Perhaps it was the sea taking action that really exhausted God''s care for Nelson. He had a very bad time these years.


    In 1780, the sea taking operation died prematurely. He returned to London on the prairie lion of Cornwallis for medical treatment.


    After careful nursing, he returned to his hometown and remained idle until September 1781, when the Admiralty arranged a new post for him.


    He was assigned to the local fleet and became the captain of the patrol ship HMS albertmar, responsible for the maintenance of trade routes in the North Sea.


    But the North Sea is too calm.


    Britain, France, the Netherlands, as well as the second-class Russia and the Nordic countries gather in that small fishing pond, and powerful fleets deter and contain each other.


    Every time before going to sea, Nelson would be ordered by the governor to exercise restraint and patience, and never have any form of friction with "friendly neighbors".


    Nelson, who was used to running wild in the new world, soon got tired of such a tied up life. He took advantage of the holiday to find his uncle, Lorraine''s business partner, shaklin, and won him the opportunity to return to the new world at a high price.


    In April 1782, he was ordered to escort a fleet of supplies across the Atlantic Ocean to St. Lawrence, Newfoundland for a supply mission, and then set off from there to Boston to investigate the situation of shipbuilding in the new world.


    He was very satisfied with his new post and was directly under the staff office of the Navy Department. He had one class five and two class six ships under his command.


    More importantly, the staff office gave him a full year''s mission time, but there was only one supply task.


    In other words, from the end of the supply to his return to London, he will have a considerable right to deal with the situation, and after returning home, he only needs to provide a visible survey report on the shipbuilding industry in the new world.


    In Nelson''s opinion, this is not a thing at all!


    He communicates with Lorraine every month. If he wants to know the current situation of shipbuilding industry in the new world, what better means can he have than direct interview with industry leaders?


    However, joy, sorrow.


    Nelson devoted all his energy to the planning of free action time, and unconsciously ignored the situation in North America at that time.


    After the Chesapeake Bay naval battle, Britain turned into a comprehensive defense in the North American ocean. Except for a few warships ordered to stay in Bermuda, the powerful mainland sub fleet almost completely retreated into the port of Newfoundland.


    France dominates the oceans of North America.


    In order to exert greater pressure on British representatives in the Paris peace talks, cut off the supply of the Royal Navy and prevent this powerful fleet from turning the situation upside down, the French deployed more than 50 warships on routes related to Newfoundland and trapped Newfoundland into a real isolated island by besieging the city with iron barrels.


    Nelson''s small fleet led a dozen fully loaded transport ships into the eye of the storm.


    In the sea less than 200 kilometers away from the port of St. Lawrence, he was surrounded by four class III battleships of the French fleet.


    The outcome of the war was doomed before it began. If Nelson''s lookout was not found in time, the final loss would be far more than three transport ships used to break their tails.


    Rao is so. Nelson fled nearly 500 kilometers south. The fleet completely deviated from the route and almost drifted to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean


    Supply is impossible. He spent nearly a month spying on the access status of St. Lawrence and several other seaports in Newfoundland. He was in distress several times. Finally, he decided to give up the task and go around a big loop. Only in September did he send the supply fleet to Quebec, Canada.


    Physically and mentally exhausted, he was forced to admit his failure. The communication ship crossed the ocean and reported back. It also brought him new orders from the staff office on his return.


    The supply mission was abolished, the supply fleet remained in Quebec, and the original Boston inspection plan was cancelled. He was asked to go to New York. Prince William Henry and Lord Samuel hood were there to inspect the situation of the captured British forces in York town and provide reference for the Paris peace talks.


    Nelson forged friendship with two distinguished people in New York. In December, the two returned to England after completing their inspection work. Nelson knew that peace between Britain, France and the United States was near.


    The time for meritorious service is running out.


    Nelson boldly delayed his task classification and returned to the Caribbean with the small fleet all the way south, trying to contact Lorraine to do a big job.


    However, at that time, Drake chamber of Commerce had just ended two consecutive wars of association, and Lorraine was entangled by Pepsi.


    Even, he didn''t even see Lorraine''s face.


    Disappointed Nelson hurriedly attacked Turks island in France with his fleet, and naturally reaped a great failure full of sincerity.


    In June 1783, the news of peace spread to the Caribbean. The state of war suddenly ended. Nelson, who had nothing, had to return to London and resign sadly.


    It was Shaq who was responsible for accepting his classification. Shaq assessed him that the supply mission failed, the investigation mission was interrupted, the escort mission was excellent, and one was good at starting the war and failed.


    General comment: not enough.


    Nelson, who failed in the exam, was honored to be on the list of post-war disarmament. He was put into reserve service by shack on the spot, received half salary and cancelled his original rank.


    He wanted to learn French, so he went to St. Omer, France. As a result, he was broken by the lady of France.


    He wanted to go into politics and run for the house of Commons, but no suitable constituency was willing to accept him.


    In March 1784, with Lord hood''s efforts, he finally returned to active service and returned to the Caribbean as captain of the Northwind God. As soon as he arrived, he was sent to the Leeward Islands together with Collinwood by Sir Parker.


    Nelson is suffocating.


    After 15 months of idleness in the reserve and failing the ability assessment in the archives, he urgently needs to prove his value and regain his position in the army in the familiar Caribbean.


    He soon took aim at the navigation act.


    At that time, Britain had recognized the independence of the United States, but Congress did not make corresponding amendments to the wartime Navigation Act. In other words, all trade between British colonies and foreign countries is illegal.


    However, Leeward Islands mainly produce cash crops, and their finished products can be sold to Europe, but the daily consumption of the island depends on the import of food and raw materials from the United States.


    Once the bill is strictly enforced, Leeward Islands can only import food and raw materials from the British colonies with limited output or distant mainland, which should lead to a threefold increase in living expenses. In case of famine, the situation is unimaginable.


    The local colonial government never seriously implemented the Navigation Act and did not investigate the trade behavior between residents and American merchant ships. This is the opportunity in Nelson''s eyes.


    After he arrived in Leeward Islands, he joined hands with Colin wood to detain and check a number of American ships attempting to trade with the colonies, and vigorously implemented the navigation act.


    However, his actions did not bring him honor, but attracted the dissatisfaction of his immediate superiors, Sir Richard Hughes, commander-in-chief of the British colonial forces in the Caribbean, and Sir Thomas Shelley, governor of Antigua. Even the local residents regarded him as an evil bureaucrat and jointly wrote to transfer him from the islands.


    Soon after, the detained American businessman sued him in Antigua for illegally detaining the ship and asked for his imprisonment. The local parade court passed his sentence by a unanimous vote in only one trial, and then he was under house arrest, which has been under house arrest since May 1784.


    On Nevis Island, Lorraine looked at her old friend who had been under house arrest for a whole year and looked flushed.


    "Colonel, if my information is correct, I remember that your sentence should be house arrest on the beifengshen and no landing, right?"


    "The judgment is indeed like this." Nelson looked like a rich man in a plantation with an umbrella and a swallow tail. "The only thing that needs to be corrected is that it was not my trial, but the trial of the North Wind God."


    "They turned beifengshen from a warship into a prison with a judgment, that is, as long as I don''t interfere with their smuggling, no one will care where I went."


    "So you travel around in a warship?"


    Nelson laughed: "until I was imprisoned, I finally found the beauty of life."


    He raised his hand and gave way to a shy young English lady from behind.


    She is very beautiful, with clean and simple makeup, showing exquisite facial features and white skin. Moreover, shy ladies are rare among Anglo Saxons, which undoubtedly adds a lot of points to her, enough for her to stand out from the crowd.


    Lorraine smiled, took a box from edley''s hand and handed it to her: "you must be Ms. nisby mentioned in the Colonel''s letter. When we first met, I was Lorraine, Lorraine arnason Drake."


    The lady accepted Lorraine''s gift and opened it. Suddenly, the dazzling light overflowed the box, so that she almost lost the box.


    "This... This is..."


    "A 22 carat emerald is said to be a necklace made by a warlord in Omani history in pursuit of a beauty. It is worth about half a ton of wheat flour. It is not valuable."


    "2... 22 carats?" the lady''s hand trembled. "It''s too expensive, Mr. Drake, I can''t..."


    "Take it, Francis." Nelson patted the lady on the shoulder and said gently, "this guy is now one of the richest men in Great Britain. Under the age of 40, he is the richest man worthy of it. Even the young Grand Dukes can''t compare with him. Don''t save money for him."


    Francis was even more frightened: "Mr. Drake... The richest man?"
