Chapter 256

The sudden romance was consumed by the sudden heavy topic. In the next time, Lorraine and Haina didn't talk more about sex, holding each other and going around until they came to the busy wharf.

What Lorraine didn't expect was that his accident today had not come to an end.

The majestic lion was moored at berth 1 of the wharf with its bow high. The spiritual sailors stood in line. In front of the line, Shaq, who had not seen for many years, was shaking hands with a noble gentleman on the bank to say goodbye.

Lorraine happened to appear in the extension of his field of vision.

The Drake brothers' eyes collided in mid air. Lorraine froze and clearly read the meaning of shack's eyes: [wait].

Wait for you first class

Lorraine gave a bang and turned to the other side of the dock.

As the flagship of the Caribbean offshore caravan, the rain frog robbed by Lorraine from Lake Pontchartrain is parked in berth 9. This ship is the ship Leonard took.

Halfway through the journey, a young captain led a dozen sailors to trot up, flushed and short of breath.

"De... President Drake!"

Helpless Lorraine could only stop, with a cold face, and watched the captain run closer and closer.

"Chairman Drake, I'm Tyra Armani, captain of the new continental fleet and charge officer of the HMS lion."

"Captain Armani, nice to meet you."

"You don't look happy at all..." Armani smiled bitterly, stood at attention and saluted, "president, take the liberty to come, mainly because the governor wants to see you."

"The noble master of Tavistock is as arrogant as before." Lorraine opened his mouth and smiled. "Please tell governor Drake that the chamber of commerce is busy and Lorraine Drake has no time to accompany. Please forgive me."

Why are these two brothers like this!

The honest Amani almost didn't shed tears. He tried to resist the impulse to tie Lorraine up and whispered: "president, just meet the governor. It won't be long. The governor has an operation training meeting in the afternoon..."

"Time is money, Captain, just as you are wasting my money standing in front of me now."

"This... Waste? Talking to a rear admiral can't be a waste of money! You know what? The invitation letter for the governor's reception is hard currency in the whole Caribbean. Last time, at the auction, a letter sold for more than 100 pounds!"

"Oh! It's a great honor." Lorraine suddenly realized, "disrespectful, leave."

……

It was easy to say goodbye to the governor, who was not clearly involved. Shaq rubbed his eyebrows wearily, and his eyes moved around Armani.

"Lieutenant..."

"Came back alone?"

"President Drake said, look at your busy, don't dare..."

"Do you think I'm arrogant?"

Amani's face turned white: "well, commander, anyway, there are more than half an hour before departure preparation..."

"No need," said Shaq, without a moment's pause, as he boarded the planks expressionless. "He knows me very well."

……

Under the rain frog, Lorraine saw Leonard and Orvis waiting by, which surprised him a little.

"Alves is here, too?"

Orvis, who was tall and brave, smiled shyly: "although the captain didn't intend to see me, after all, I had the advantage of my duty, so I dared to use public affairs for personal gain."

"Using public affairs for personal gain?"

Leonard, who looked more and more nice, patted Orvis on the arm.

"The ocean fleet was officially formed. According to the previous discussion between President Parker and me, governor Cortez was appointed ocean governor, so the position of offshore governor was empty. Alves was originally the deputy governor and liked to run at sea, so he did not give in."

"So it's a promotion." Lorraine smiled and held out his hand. "Congratulations."

Alves smiled more and more brightly: "this is the captain's help."

Lorraine always didn't like to leave compliments in front of his own people, so she waved her hand.

"Leonard, has the chamber of Commerce changed during this time?"

"When the ocean fleet set sail, the first batch of three ships, the original Andes, lucky horseshoe and Jupiter, of course, the names of the ships were changed, and the French were very satisfied."

"This is what chuck is good at."

"During the Havana peace talks, the chamber of Commerce was invited in the last three days. President Parker attended in your place and accepted the thanks of the French people. As a gift of thanks, we got the business license of all the French New World colonies, enjoyed the privilege of the registered chamber of Commerce in Fort France and reduced the transaction tax by 30% in the pan Caribbean region."

"Flashy without substance." Lorraine shrivelled and shrivelled. "France is not England, the essence of Pan Caribbean is in the Gulf of Mexico, and fur and minerals in the whole new France. Now the British merchant ship runs that line, killing 30%, and the tax benefits are no more than that."

Leonard was helpless and proud: "in fact, President Parker originally asked for the right of free navigation, but... The French were worried that you would blow up their port and couldn't talk about it, so they replaced it with the current embroidered pillow."

"Sure enough." Lorraine clearly shook her head and received the information from Haina. "It's urgent to call you this time. I received a military intelligence in New Orleans. You need to confirm the authenticity and verify it with the original."

Leonard carefully turned a few pages: "very internal intelligence..."

"Can you do it?"

"At least two days, and I have to go to the Royal Navy dock myself."

"Be safe."

Leonard nodded solemnly.

Seeing that the official confession was over, the good man squeezed out a narrow smile on his face: "Captain, is that the famous lion?"

"What? Do you want to take a boat?"

"I'm not crazy..." Leonard was so frightened that he rolled his eyes. "If you take their captain's boat to spy on the core military intelligence, the people inside have to hang me on the fort to prove my innocence no matter how good the relationship is."

"What's the matter?"

"I think it's rare for the captain to meet his brother, isn't it..."

"Don't talk too much." Lorraine patted Leonard on the shoulder with his eyebrows, his voice dripping gently. "Don't talk too much, old man."

The most important event in Hamilton officially began on August 6, four days before Lorraine's last departure for New Orleans.

Because it takes two days to bring the results back to New Orleans at the speed of Weilan drops, Leonard and Lorraine are actually short of time.

This makes Lorraine more and more eager to arrange enough Bermuda sailboats inside the chamber of Commerce.

The two sides said goodbye at the dock. Leonard immediately took a carriage to visit a district Councilor. Before night, he took the supply boat of the Shanghai army and quietly sneaked into the heavily guarded Royal Navy dock occupying the whole island of Northern Ireland.

At the same time, Orvis settled in the exchange on the grounds of coordinating logistics. Lorraine and Haina returned to the seaside villa to wait. Weilan shuidi replaced all the crew and transferred to the private wharf of the villa to be ready at any time. The whole event, including the communication and liaison between the two sides, was taken over by the old man under Orvis, and no more news was revealed.

Night, day, silent.

On the night of August 7, the sound of panic knocking on the door rang through the villa. Haina looked gloomy. She opened the door and welcomed Alves, who was in chaos.

"Calm down!" Haina scolded softly, "what's the matter?"

"Ms. yesla, old Leonard..." Orvis gasped intermittently. "A Navy man came to the exchange this morning and said Leonard was going to be found by the patrol sailors. Now... He has been imprisoned!"
