Chapter 91

Since Lorraine became the commander of the combined fleet of English offshore business district, Drake General Chamber of Commerce has become the temporary command post of the fleet.

On December 7, the day after acharin's secret meeting in Amman, the members of the fleet gathered under the call of Lorraine.

Here are the hosts of the three offshore trade associations, including the offshore Association, and four powerful independent businessmen who are not affiliated with any trade association, involving a total of 27 chambers of commerce mainly engaged in offshore trade.

A boat goes out, money goes out, and power goes out.

With such a complex composition, the original alliance of the three chambers of commerce could not continue to be implemented. Instead, it was a seemingly fair common agreement, taking care of its own losses and seizing its own wealth.

In view of this, Lorraine is no longer the ultimate of trust. He is only the Supreme Commander hired by agreement, and his reward... Is the reindeer.

In order to win the reward, Lorraine made a huge concession.

He and his allies should bear 30% of the firepower output of the whole fleet, that is, a complete mixed fleet.

He had to raise a priceless cargo for his plan, and the market value should not be less than the total assembly price of a Galen destroyer, 30000 pounds.

Today is not only the time for him to announce the action plan, but also the time for him to fulfill his commitments.

Twenty seven presidents and several chief and Deputy supervisors gathered in the small building and talked and laughed in front of a huge round table paved with flannel.

When everyone else arrived, Jero, the guest MC, clapped his hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time that English offshore businessmen have cooperated and fought side by side for a common enemy. It is a day worth remembering."

Applause thundered.

Jero smiled, raised his hand and pressed down: "in order to make our cooperation more thorough, I suggest that governor Drake should first pay sincerity and tell us that you deserve the reindeer as a reward for victory."

This is a process that Lorin, Jero and odilan have long discussed.

Lorraine needs Liwei, and the most immediate way of Liwei among businessmen is to show wealth.

So Lorraine was not surprised. He just nodded to yello.

He rang the bell gently, the graceful Carmen pushed the door in, went behind Lorraine, and put a small suitcase on the round table.

Lorraine opened it.

The suitcase is full of colorful gold wares, which complement each other in the light of the sky.

"A thousand pounds of ancient gold is of high quality. Its manufacturing history is scattered from the 1st century to the 5th century, mainly from the Roman Empire." he took out a gold brooch, "for example, this brooch is engraved with Plato's Republic on the front and the golden inscription of tyrant Nero on the back."

"You are all well-informed gentlemen. You should know that the tyrant loved art and toured Greece during the Jewish uprising. It is reasonable to believe that this brooch was his masterpiece in Greece. It may not be much for his artistic achievements in his life, but now it is invaluable."

Lorraine gave the brooch to Jero and asked him to pass it all the way to let the presidents test the authenticity of his words.

When the brooch came back, Lorraine closed the suitcase and handed it solemnly but without hesitation to John Roy.

"A thousand pounds of ancient gold, according to the collection premium, even if calculated at one to fifty, is worth 50000 pounds. I think those French people can't stand the temptation with it as the core."

Everyone was stunned by Lorraine's big pen.

The affluence of the offshore business district is relative to the middle class, which is the best among them. It is the limit to be able to cash in 100000 pounds with the best efforts of the chamber of Commerce.

That's why they made such harsh demands on Lorraine.

A brand-new destroyer costs 25000 and does not take enough risks. No one wants to simply promise such a valuable ship to Lorraine.

Because once the reindeer has become Lorraine's agreed reward, whoever seizes the ship must be handed over to Lorraine for no reason. The so-called "capture complacency" principle will not apply to that ship.

But no one expected that Lorraine would be so rich

It is said that he is the abandoned son of Baron TAVIS lockdrake's family. Can we say... This is the support given to him by the family, an ancient gold object worth tens of thousands of pounds?

Looking at their faces, Lorraine knew that his Liwei had achieved results.

He smiled and said: "I hope that the appraisal and valuation of gold ware will be carried out by many parties. It would be better if relevant appraisal certificates can be issued, because these gold ware are not only the bait of the battle plan, but also the goods truly ordered by Duke Victoria, and... Drake chamber of Commerce gives itself the last straw."

Despite the amazement of the presence, he suddenly looked solemn: "as the commander of the joint fleet, I will want you to announce the details of this battle plan. This war is about the life and death of England's offshore business district. I hope you can keep the next content completely confidential."

"Program name, Trojan horse."

With Lorraine's narration, a huge plan spread out in front of everyone.

The combined fleet of English offshore business district has a total of 1 Karak destroyer, 14 brigantin high-speed ships, 9 mixed sail scuna armed cargo ships and 6 Kirk standard cargo ships.

They split one into two.

Trojan horse fleet, the original breaking fleet, 7 brigantines, and 6 Kirk standard freighters, fleet commander Lorraine.

Each chamber of commerce should publicize the news that the fleet will sail to Spain with nearly 100000 pounds of ancient gold and nearly 10000 pounds of other commodities through its own network in the European continent. It should be specific to the departure time, route, scale and commander selection.

The scale and rhythm of spreading rumors are controlled by odilan. It is expected to take 5 days and 3 days to digest. On December 15, the Trojan horse fleet set out from Southampton and officially began to implement the plan.

The main fleet takes the Karak red headed Sultan as its flagship, including the remaining seven brigantins and the skuna fleet that really carries goods. The fleet commander is ronsa of the Roy chamber of Commerce.

They will fall in the sea area 25 kilometers away from the Trojan fleet. Their main tasks are two.

First, after the Trojan fleet was attacked, the red haired Sultan would rush to the battlefield with brigantine to attack the French fleet.

Second, after the battle started, the fast-moving skuna would take the goods gathered by all chambers of Commerce and sell them to Spain, especially the goods of Drake chamber of Commerce.

In this way, even if the bait battle finally failed and Lorraine died in the waters of Cantabrian, Drake chamber of commerce also maintained its strength to make a comeback.

Lorraine's plan made everyone look at this new young talent with new eyes.

He took the initiative to take almost all the risks in the position of the most competent fleet commander.

In terms of wealth and goods, in order to make the bait plan authentic and credible, he really arranged a huge profit-making transaction. At the most dangerous time, he threw these valuable goods into the battlefield in a high-profile way.

Once these goods are lost, the unknown Drake chamber of Commerce will never recover.

In terms of safety and security, he took the initiative to undertake the work of bait. At a distance of 25 kilometers, brigantin could not see the ship shadow of the main fleet, and his every move would be monitored by the main fleet.

Is there more sincerity than this?

Everyone believes that Lorraine really hopes that the plan will succeed. He has put all his pressure on it!

Moved, impressed!

Jero, appointed chief dispatcher of Southampton fleet, paid tribute and blessings to Lorraine on behalf of all presidents. After the meeting, he stayed alone and stared at Lorraine with a complex face for a long time.

"Young and vigorous... Do you know that you almost threw yourself to death? I can't imagine that you dare to hand over the life-saving main fleet to Lonza!"

Lorraine looked at Jero sincerely.

"Mr. minder, please believe me. It's the only way to make this fleet with all its ghosts have the power to fight the Frances. In fact, we have no choice..."
