Chapter 402

"Lieutenant General Scolari..."

On the valkiri, Scolari stood in front of Lorraine under the escort of six or seven strong sailors, quietly looking at the tall, strong but respectful and genial young man.

"I'm Drake, Lorraine Jonathan Drake, Drake of Tavistock. I'm sorry to meet you in such an environment."

"Tavistock?" Scolari's eyebrows jumped. "I may have met your grandfather and your father."

"Your origin with your ancestors makes this meeting more helpless. I should have brought Warren Ford's coffee beans to Lisbon to visit you, rather than seeing my precious elders in the smoke of gunpowder in Africa."

Lorraine waved away and led Scolari to the side.

"The rescue at sea is ongoing. The good news is that not many people fell, and the bad news is that there are only a few people who survived."

"The dagama is no big deal. I asked someone to cut off the foremast and inclined mast and readjust the knot. She has about 6 knots left, but considering her center of gravity and the waves in the Cape of good hope, I sincerely suggest you consider the return of the fleet in the spring."

"The problem of the DIAS is more serious. One is the personnel. As far as I know, a major and four lieutenants were killed in the liftoff of the poop. We can't rule out more deaths. After all, it was an unfortunate accident."

"The other is the rudder. My master inspected the Diaz. One third of the rudder stock went up to heaven and one third of the rudder stock sank to the bottom of the sea with the rudder. There is no navigator class dock in East Africa, so you may have to drag her back to Lisbon..."

"Are you going to return the ship to Portugal?"

Lorin's words completely exceeded Scolari's expectations. He couldn't help opening his eyes and just wanted to see the traps that might be behind them.

"What do you want? Money? Guns? Or... Pardon?"

Lorraine was silent for a long time.

"Yes, what should I want? Your loyal majesty illegally robbed my property and I robbed his ship. It's fair."

"The navigator class is an excellent warship. Although law-abiding people like me are not available, it is worth at least 100000 pounds to invest in the black market and sell to the United States, which can barely recover some of my losses."

"Of course you would say that if I did that, I would trample on Portugal's dignity, but this reason can't convince me. In any case, my relationship with your king won't get worse."

"In fact, I am curious about the state of mind of the Portuguese Kingdom when dealing with this dispute. You behave like a barbaric tribe. The chief regards robbery as a means to show authority. The elders are silent and completely ignore the sacred and inviolable civilized norms of private property."

Lorraine ridiculed the Portuguese with pungent words, from the king to the nobility.

"Your king's mountain bandit behavior has been fully entrusted to the lawyer group of Drake chamber of Commerce in Bilbao."

"When they were berthing in Gibraltar, they had filed a complaint with the Madrid Supreme Court. This note should be sent to Lisbon. I don't know if your king has a familiar lawyer, or... Do you know the procedure of self-defense."

Scolari blushed: "Lorraine Drake, Spain has long been not the suzerain of Portugal!"

Lorraine is humble.

"It's really an arrogant and sensitive boring country," he said coldly. "Choosing Madrid has nothing to do with the so-called master-slave relationship in your history. I chose her only because she is the only civilized country on the Iberian Peninsula."

"In 1780, I demolished the fortress of San Carlos in Nicaragua. Last year, I saw Mr. Hawthorne, the governor of Cuba in Havana. He was the governor of Grenada at that time and was my prisoner."

"We had a good talk. When he introduced me to the celebrities in Havana, he also talked about the experience of being captured in a happy mood and called me a civilized and trustworthy gentleman."

"It is this noble gentleman who makes me have a good impression and trust in Spain."

"I will let you go, because I need you to report this whole southbound experience to your barbaric country and stupid king, so that they can relax and rejoice that what they hurt is not a real pirate, but a civilized, cultured and legitimate businessman."

"Next, I will use my own strength to prove my innocence. I will send everything I have obtained to Madrid and let the Iberian civilization wash away my grievances and uphold morality."

"Justice and justice never die, I believe it!"

"Please tell your Sheikh all this and ask him to choose a lawyer to respond to the lawsuit as soon as possible. If he has never heard of the word lawyer before, ask him to hire a tutor first, preferably from a civilized country."

Lorraine finally finished.

Scolari's hands trembled rapidly, and his voice was high and low because of breathing, as if he was going to break his breath at any time: "Lorraine Drake, have you ever thought about Portugal's anger when you insult the Portuguese kingdom so recklessly!"

"Seriously, I've thought about it." Lorraine smiled softly. "I know there are eight navigator class ships in Lisbon. I also know that there are about 30 provincial ships scattered in Portuguese colonies all over the world. After all, your Sun hasn't set yet."

"But have you thought about Drake's anger again?"

"For example, if you have such a female martial god level under your feet, how many can we take out?"

……

Scolari left. The faltering da Gama supported the bad DIAS, followed by four loyal guards who couldn't even summon up courage for reinforcement, and embarked on the road of returning home with Lorraine's goodwill.

Lorraine didn't send it.

After intimidating the old and conservative Portuguese lieutenant general, he held a meeting of all seafarers in the tactical room, closed the door and discussed the specific plan for the next step.

There are many ways to restore reputation, not to mention that the key to reputation is not reputation, but how much pressure can Lorin bring to Portugal in terms of allies, cards and cards, so that they can be soft and admit their mistakes in front of a small chamber of Commerce.

The difficulty in this can be imagined, and the difficulty of the meeting is self-evident.

Without waiting to discuss a reason, the walkway suddenly remembered the scattered running. The cabin door was roughly pushed open. Pierce took his sailors panting and pestling outside the cabin door. As soon as he saw Lorraine, he began to shout.

"Elder brother! Er... Elder brother, can we let that old Portuguese dog run away so easily?"

Lorraine didn't answer him at all. He just stopped the discussion and raised his chin with interest.

"Tut tut Tut, I thought it was the Portuguese who called back. Unexpectedly, it was the Great Attic governor."

Pierce was so frightened that he took half a step back, and there was a silver flash in front of him.

In the cold light, several silver taros and two red velvet throwing knives poked around the door frame in no order, wrapped Pierce in the middle, and formed a perfect irregular symmetry with the hatch as the edge.

Pierce's legs are soft. If it weren't for the support of sister Xiao, he could have sat on the ground just now.

His voice began to float: "sister Haina, sister Noah, although I'm wrong not to knock on the door..."

"Of course you're wrong not to knock."

Lorraine smiled and slapped. Acharin shook his sleeves, took off a colorful whip from his waist and held it in front of Lorraine with both hands.

Lorraine shook a whip... PA!

Pierce swallowed heavily: "brother, brother, Captain, President, chairman! Everything is easy to discuss!"

"Before coming, Mr. Ramos piddick, President of the European branch, and nearly ten shareholders of the board of directors of the General Chamber of Commerce, put forward solemn requirements to the chairman of the board. Boy, you lack a strong whip."

"But... My crew are..." pierce replied tearfully.

Lorraine hesitated.

Pierce's team members are really a problem, because young men in the rebellious period still need a little face.

Carmen suddenly interrupted: "gentlemen, if I remember correctly, your salary is still settled by the General Chamber of Commerce, and there is no independent branch under the name of yatis. Moreover, although the vice president of yatis has signed a special equity sharing contract with some of you, considering that the secret service fleet has not made any profit so far..."

Freemani raised his hand: "excuse me, the respected and beautiful manager Xavier, where can we get the basic salary for these months?"

"On the lower floor of the poop, the flagship accounting room."

"Farewell!"

Hula, the brave sailor walked half way. Pierce looked gratefully at the remaining half, especially the honest Cao, who was the only one left in the advanced class.

Then he heard a series of thunderous laughter. It was lev.

"Captain, there are several fractures in the Stormtrooper recently. I happen to lack sword players around me..."

Cao's face suddenly turned pale. He also raised his hand: "excuse me, the respected and beautiful manager Xavier, we didn't hear clearly just now. Where is the salary place?"

"On the lower floor of the poop, the flagship accounting room."

"Farewell!"

Hua la la la, pierce pitifully found that there were only three younger sisters Xiao left behind him and white ears who came to watch the excitement.

"Three younger sisters..."

"Three younger sisters."

Two men call a woman at the same time, one is Pierce, the other is Wang Ye with a strange accent.

Wang Ye's fingers circled on the conference table and his tongue revolved in his mouth.

"Before you joined the chamber of Commerce, I told my elder martial sister that there was no girl in the world who was more painful than you. Remember the day before the lady left Hong Kong? You saw me playing the Ye flute of my hometown, and promised me to learn Jiangxi dialect in three months to ease my homesickness..."

Xiao Sanmei's face suddenly turned pale!

Although pierce couldn't understand a word of the Chinese Wang also spoke, it didn't prevent him from feeling deja vu in front of him.

He had a very bad hunch: "three younger sisters, do you..."

"I'm sorry, young master! It suddenly occurred to me that I promised my mother to send home my salary on time every time to raise my seven brothers and four sisters! So..."

Before she finished, Xiao Sanmei hid her face and ran away.

Pierce has only white ears left behind.

He blinked at the empty aisle, his head turning back and forth like rust.

"Brother, anyway, can you let me die clearly..."

"It turns out that you don't know why the navigator class of the Portuguese town country suddenly became your enemy."

"It must be the size of a lady..."

"And you also ignored why valkiri and I arrived on the same day as the navigator and saved you properly."

"Is......" Pierce's face finally looked ugly. "I... still made trouble?"

"Armed invasion of Mombasa, unprovoked attack on Portuguese warships and military blockade of neutral ports. You have done a lot, and Drake chamber of Commerce has gained a lot of goodwill, among which the greatest goodwill..."

"Drake chamber of Commerce was identified as a pirate chamber of Commerce by Lisbon, and Portugal ended its business contacts with my company. If it is controlled by the Portuguese Kingdom, Drake industry should be confiscated, with a direct loss of 70000 pounds and countless indirect losses." Lorraine shook off his whip, "keep your ass up. As I said, you lack a whip."

Boom!

A dull loud noise.

It was not Lorraine's voice telling pierce a lesson, but the sound caused by a beautiful girl who clumsily knocked down on the guardrail outside the cabin.

The principal Punisher, the tortured, the accomplice and the theater all looked over their eyes. Lorraine smiled strangely: "Sharon Yates, why don't I remember that I ranked you on varkiri?"

Sharon, Pierce's quiet little cousin, was just 15 years old by December. Carmen was amazed by her sensitivity to numbers and society. She had been with her for three years for talent or other purposes.

Sharon rubbed her knees and stood up red eyed. She saluted Carmen, Lorraine and the others, but skipped Pierce.

"President, originally I stayed in London to deal with some trifles of the exchange for my teacher. Later, walkiri stopped in Southampton. The teacher called me on board and presided over the access of the accounting office."

Lorraine looked at Carmen suspiciously. Carmen shrugged: "after all, most of the time, women who can only fight and kill have limited help for men and little help for women."

That's right... Haina's murderous spirit suddenly burst, and the cabin was like a strong wind of force 8.

Lorraine coughed awkwardly, "Sharon, tell me loudly, what's the purpose of your coming here?"

"Looking for you!"

"Looking for me?"

"Yes!" little Sharon summoned up her courage, "Mr. President, according to the shipping and Fleet Management Ordinance of the chamber of Commerce "Governor Attis led a special service team to carry out the independent mission of the African branch in July, and up to now, you have not relieved him of his duties. Therefore, he made a mistake. You can punish him by salary penalty, demotion, even redemption of stock rights and dismissal within the framework of the board of directors, but you have no position and right to corporal punishment."

She took a deep breath and bowed to Lorraine.

"Mr. President, the chamber of Commerce regulations are the cornerstone and dependence on which Drake relies for development and growth. As an employee, I sincerely hope you can set an example, take the initiative to maintain the sanctity of the regulations, and ensure its smooth and orderly operation in the chamber of Commerce! Please seriously consider my opinion! Thank you!"

Lorraine grew up and looked at everyone around her: "our chamber of Commerce has formulated hundreds of regulations?"

Karen cleared his throat: "to be exact, there are eight regulations, 1433, more than 5000 items."

The whip... Fell to the ground.

Carmen looked at Haina and said, "what did I say? I can only fight and kill... I can't help men."
