Chapter 507

Why meet the British first.

As soon as he opened the door, Hamilton, who had not seen him for a long time, threw such a question to Lorraine that there was absolutely no correct answer.

Not only that, he also called Lorraine kenvi and vowed that America needed a reasonable explanation.

Lorraine stared maliciously at his old friend, Alexander Hamilton, the founding father of the United States, the letter of the president, the Acting Secretary of the interim Treasury, the initiator and core organization of the Bank of the United States Bill.

"The United States has no money?" Lorraine's answer was irrelevant.

"Er..." Hamilton's smile was cramped. "Mr. President, you once had a great country and real friendship. But don't forget that friendship needs to be managed. If you can't properly maintain it, maybe..."

"Then the federal government has no money."

"Yes." the little daughter-in-law immediately recognized the advice, stood up and poured the wine for Lorraine, "for my sake of being so frank, can I sit down and talk?"

"This is the business of friendship." Lorraine sighed with great emotion. He walked into the box, sat on the sofa, raised his glass and touched Hamilton gently. "Mr. Treasury Secretary, you almost lost the friendship of a great chamber of Commerce."

"Boom!" Hamilton took the bitter wine out of the glass. "Other pirates keep parrots, and your essence is parrots."

"Thank you for your compliment."

Out of the interpersonal circle of the chamber of Commerce, Lorraine actually has only two sincere friends.

Nelson's friendship is based on the employment relationship between the two sides, but they are not close. Both sides have consensus, cooperation and interpersonal distance that can not be trampled.

Hamilton's friendship was based on the mutual benefit relationship in a special period, close but not close. Although there is no so-called taboo and stress when they get along, at the same time, it is never possible to put aside their own calculations.

Perhaps this is the friendship mode of adults. They don't care about the estrangement in ambition or position. Pure affinity and proximity don't exist, and no one tries to pursue existence.

Lorraine sipped the wine and saw that the looking glass prepared for Hamilton was still there.

"What? The big play on the sea is not to your taste?"

"It's not my dish at all."

Hamilton made an exaggerated expression of regret.

"I am in the army. Although I have working experience in docks, I still know a little about the doorways at sea. I know this is a small problem I should overcome and my obligation as a national observer."

"But who let my commentator get into the British box? I think since the commentator doesn't care about the huge orders from America, why should I ask for trouble and challenge what I'm not good at?"

Lorraine is getting bored.

He slammed his glass and crossed his legs. "Come straight, Alexander, what exactly does your president expect of me?"

Silence.

Hamilton played with his glass without saying a word, rowing his finger belly around the edge of the glass.

When Lorraine counted to the tenth lap, he suddenly said, "the war has been won."

"The war was won. We drove away the British, completed the great cause, fulfilled the wishes of the martyrs who died in the war, and built a lighthouse of human civilization that fully implemented God's will on that evil land."

"We thought it was a matter of course as long as we drove the British away."

"However..." Hamilton smiled bitterly. "It seems that we still think of the problem as simple."

"Congress wants to build the United States into a truly strong and reliable democracy, formulate a unified constitution, issue strong currency, have developed industry and support a strong army. The premise of all that is to establish a strong and powerful central government."

"But the states don't want to see a real federal government. They just want to be the only master of their own country. They don't want someone to dictate their rule, let alone share their rights with others."

"In this way, our former comrades in arms have become opponents, but we can't drive them away like the British, because we depend on each other."

Hamilton poured himself another glass of wine and drank it without touching it.

Pop!

"Kenvi, we are engaged in a new war. This war is destined to be longer and more cruel than the war of independence. We need your help, just as we stood firmly by us in the war of independence."

He called kenvi a second time.

At the sound of KENWAY's exit, Lorraine immediately felt the weight of the air and finally understood why President Washington chose Hamilton, who had taken off his military uniform, as the observer of the military exercise instead of a Navy official with more appropriate identity and knowledge.

Because Hamilton didn't come to Miami as a military observer at all. He was a lobbyist.

Lorraine did not immediately answer Hamilton's request.

He thought about his interests quietly. On the way, he suddenly found that his wine glass had also seen the bottom unconsciously.

He smiled: "if a noble gentleman would condescend to pour wine for me at this time..."

The glass is full in the blink of an eye.

"Emmmm... Well, what can I get from it?" Lorraine asked.

"Business," Hamilton simply replied, "just like the equivalent exchange in those years, America will provide the most generous offer for your goodwill."

"But you admitted before that the federal government is now stretched."

"No matter how poor the federal government is, it is also the federal government. As long as it is worth spending, we never save money."

They looked at each other with a smile and changed into a comfortable sitting position.

On the sea, brenhild is facing the future, while grey is biting the Cenozoic generation.

Favna once again took the lead and used the lady to adjust the front mast to constantly threaten its fragile poop.

The White Pelican team finally entangled the sunflower.

Leaving the sea parrot, warship bird and dark betel to hang the weak enemy ship, the White Pelican single ship returned and quickly cut into the battle situation between Mistra and the lady from the outside line, like a small weight to pry the balance of the battlefield.

The first formation thus entered an all-round advantage.

Lorraine pointed to the white pelican and said to Hamilton, "see that brig? Her main gun is only twelve pounds. Even if the lady stops to let her blow, it's hard for her to break through the lady's hull."

"But..." Hamilton looked out at the sea, "it seems that the lady is very embarrassed."

"That's because the Mistra has the ability to threaten the lady," Lorin explained. "If the lady despises the small trouble that the White Pelican may cause, one day she will have to face big trouble."

Hamilton's eyes were bright: "I'm glad we can fight side by side again."

"I haven't decided whether to promise you or not," lorington grinned. "But at least you guessed right, dear Alexander, I'd like to hear about your business, and I sincerely hope it's a big business."
