Chapter 279

In a flash of time, it will transit on the 5th.

Boston is as calm as before, but in the eyes of people with clear eyes, it seems that there is only the calm flowing on the surface like an oil slick.

In the bunker of Haite dock, several sailors were under the command of Katrina to load several long strip-shaped containers into a beautifully decorated carriage.

That's Jefferson's private carriage.

Jefferson meets Lorraine several times a day these days. Nominally, he persuades Lorraine to give up his claim for the saints. In fact, he secretly sends the remaining arms into the saints' Arsenal bit by bit by using this inefficient model of ant moving through the water tank and Cape mountain.

It was Lorraine's idea.

The cause of Qianwan night is this batch of arms. Although the slaves who attacked the Jackdaw and were eventually angered by Lorraine, Lorraine never gave up the alert to the other two civil armies for a moment.

The white man who was stabbed to death by Hannah for following bell five days ago further confirmed Lorraine's conjecture.

The white man didn't have anything real and sufficient to prove his identity. The only identity and work certificates were forged, but there was no trace of forgery in terms of workmanship.

Under such conclusive evidence, Jefferson could only admit to Lorraine that there were indeed Pro British people's forces in Boston.

The pro British civil army was the Legion of sons of freedom who made great contributions to the United States at the beginning of the war.

She is the real protagonist of Paul Revere's midnight ride. She once participated in the battles of Lexington and Concord, the battle of Bunker Hill and the siege of Boston as the main force. She has experienced two reconstruction and three expansion, with outstanding achievements and scars.

The son of freedom developed into a unique and powerful Legion in Boston. Before the completion of the saints' regiment, there were seven army regiments in the city, and the son of freedom monopolized four of them.

However, the most glorious team can not control the transfer of its position.

Behind the son of freedom are the capitalists in the Southern District. Most of the generals in the army are from the United trade union. Their identities and families are inextricably intertwined with the manufacturing field.

They represent the rich capitalists in Boston. Among the vigorous anti tax movement, they resisted most resolutely. It was also because of this determination that Boston was restored.

In the early days of the restoration of Boston, with the rush of the British and the lack of action of the American government, the capitalists here did receive a short-term founding dividend.

But soon, in response to the war, the United States issued a higher tax bill than the British; The cut-off of land and sea transportation has depressed Boston's manufacturing industry.

Capitalists soon found that independence might not be so good, especially for Boston's South District, which is heavily dependent on the transportation system, this decision is like hell.

Their industry may not live to win the war at all

If they lose their industry and do not work, they may not live to win the war

At that time, the sons of freedom who resisted the most firmly were the first to waver. The British who had always cherished Boston soon extended an olive branch and limited the traffic in Boston.

Things got out of hand. When American leaders reacted, the state capital had completely lost control of the son of freedom.

Boston is in danger, Massachusetts is in danger, Connecticut and Rhode Island are in danger, and the whole northern front is in danger!

This is the main reason why Jefferson went to the North alone. The saints' regiment was established urgently, the Continental Army broke the Convention to arm the people's army, Lorraine received an order for the North transportation, and the Jackdaw was humiliated in Qianwan. In the final analysis, it is all for this reason.

Even that group of armed slaves who hide behind the scenes are likely to be the result of the connivance and support of the capitalists in the southern region!

"In a word, my concern is justified, isn't it?"

In the reception room of the water tank, Lorraine stirred the black tea in front of him and brought up the old story with a smile.

Jefferson didn't know what expression to use to deal with the joke. He could only tirelessly pull the shutter and watch the slow and orderly loading outside through the window.

"Ken, how many days will it take to finish?"

"Katrina has checked the inventory. If you continue to maintain the current efficiency, there are about three days left."

"Three days..."

After getting familiar with Jefferson's expression, the newly unlocked content includes... Dislike.

"Only 14500 guns have to be delivered for eight days. Although I don't handle much arms trade, I've heard and seen it before."

"Who is to blame, my governor? Should I complain about the law and order in Boston, the slackness of the saints, or the tyranny of the United States?"

"It's not good to cultivate friendship, Kenny." Jefferson glanced reluctantly at Lorraine. "How's the third-party law and order rectification in the state capital going?"

"People are few and profits are thin. The temporary magistrates don't seem to be very motivated."

"But the offer was made by a third party."

"It's like the Massachusetts state capital has a higher budget."

Lorraine sipped her tea and sat down.

"Since the body was accidentally harvested five days ago, my people have been in a deadlock. The other party is very cautious. There is nothing meaningful on the spy. Even if I hang him in the stone stall in Houwan, they don't respond."

"Could it be that the place where you hang is too remote?"

"After all, he is white. I can't hang him on the spire of the old North Church."

"This is really a real problem." Jefferson shrugged and changed into a comfortable sitting position. "Kenvey, Mr. Haite came to me yesterday and asked you to give up your plan to buy a shipyard."

Lorraine was stunned for a moment by his unprovoked change of topic.

"American proposal?"

Jefferson spread out his hands and expressed his innocence: "pure private trust. In fact, both the government and myself welcome people with strength like you to take over Haite shipyard and prevent the only first-class shipyard in the United States from being abandoned."

"That's no problem." Lorraine's face softened. "My social adviser, Miss Carmen, told me that today will be the final negotiation. That is to say, whether the acquisition is successful or not, you will not disappoint Mr. Haite."

"That's... great."

……

In the conference room of the office building of Haite shipyard, the fifth round of formal negotiations on the acquisition of Boston Haite shipyard by New Orleans KENWAY business group has reached the climax.

The representatives of the shipyard are the full shareholders of the shipyard, the general manager Emond Haite, the helmsman of the design team and Joshua Humphries, a well-known sailing designer in the new world.

The representatives of KENWAY business group are the Plenipotentiary of Mr. Edward KENWAY, the general manager of the business group, Ms. Carmen, the assistant general manager, and Mr. Karen, the general maintenance officer of the business group.

Um

Carmen and Karen's names are temporary. Even the so-called "New Orleans KENWAY business group" is a temporary product without any careful consideration. Carmen came at the beginning of the first negotiation.

The fact is that the white man stabbed by Haina five days ago has completely shifted the focus of Lorraine's work, and the acquisition has basically become Carmen's one-man play.

In order to make her words more credible, she needs a formal and loud business name.

The effect of this is obvious. In the face of the three world-class professionals in the conference room, Carmen completely dominated the rhythm of the venue with his keen sense of the economy and his pride of knowing nothing about the shipyard.

In the first four negotiations, she squeezed Haite little by little, made clear the current situation of the shipyard little by little, and even used tears as a weapon to force Haite to allow her to access all the accounts of the shipyard in the first five years.

Anyway, the books in the past three years are very thin.

Know yourself and your enemy, and a hundred battles won't bring trouble.

Today is the decisive day selected by Carmen. She will make a second offer to Haite, and then win the sovereignty of the shipyard.
