Chapter 540

New York, the tide of the new world, the heart of America.

In 1524, Giovanni davelazano, an Italian loyal to France, entered the port area of New York on the princess, declared it owned by France and named it new angulem.

However, perhaps France at that time could not perceive the richness of the North American continent, and they did not really colonize the New York area.

With business travel from all over the world, it has gradually become one of the important free trade ports in North America.

In 1602, the Netherlands sent Henry Hudson to North America to find wealth.

Hudson arrived in New York Bay in 1609 and went north along the river. The next year, he returned to the Netherlands with native products and fur from North America.

The rich returns made many dutch businessmen highly interested in this land with rich resources. They began to settle in New York and called her "New Netherland".

In 1624, the Dutch established a fur trading point on gavernas island.

In 1625, Amster began construction on Manhattan Island.

In 1626, Dutch colonial governor Peter minnutt bought the whole Manhattan Island from the local indigenous Lenape people at a lower price than cabbage, and established a trade station in Amster.

Soon after, 300 Dutch officially established a town in Manhattan, named "New Amsterdam".

That was the most powerful era for the Dutch. As soon as the unique New Amsterdam was born, it attracted the attention of the world and prospered at an amazing speed.

So it was not until 1664 that the British fleet came under the city during the Anglo Dutch war. Peter stevisant, governor of New Netherland, knew that he was unable to fight, surrendered and gave way to New Amsterdam.

King Charles II handed over the place to his brother. Prince York moved his territory from Yorkshire to New Amsterdam and changed the place name to "New York".

New York, under British rule, became more and more prosperous and soon became the second largest city in North America except Philadelphia.

Then the war of independence broke out and New York became independent.

In order to compete for the ownership of this treasure land, in August 1776, Britain and the United States conducted a massive battle on Long Island in Long Island and Brooklyn. A total of more than 52000 soldiers from Britain, the United States and Germany fought on this land. Finally, the United States lost, not only lost New York, but also nearly destroyed the Continental Army.

Britain thus became the master of New York again.

During the second occupation, the largest fire ever broke out in New York. Britain and the United States also held talks on Staten Island. For the only time, they tried to resolve the dispute of the war of independence by peaceful means.

On the day of withdrawal in 1783, British troops withdrew from New York, which represented the complete abandonment of American land by British armed forces.

In 1785, the United States Congress officially designated New York as the temporary capital. Washington was sworn in at the federal office, and the United States had its first president.

This is New York. In the past, present and future, she is the eternal focus and unshakable heart of America.

On the afternoon of the last day of May, the main mast was vacant, and the varkiri with a flag on its foremast slowly sailed into the wide harbor of the Hudson estuary.

The mountain like majestic ship posture and the St. George's flag with the tip of the back mast glowed in the sun. It once caused a riot in New York port. Although the riot was finally calmed down before the invasion alarm sounded, it still made General Smith feel ashamed.

He naturally blamed Lorraine for all this. As soon as the ship landed, he immediately came up and asked for punishment.

"President Drake, sincerity! If you really want to establish friendly and mutual trust with the United States, you'd better not do these misunderstood little moves!"

Lorraine looked innocently at the armed Sheriff under the ship: "what do you mean by the small action?"

"St George's flag, of course!"

Lorraine suddenly realized: "so you regard valkiri as the Royal Navy..."

"This is human nature!"

"No, it's called professional unskilled." Lorraine gave a bad blow. "The rice flag is a unique symbol of British naval ships. The Royal Navy is not allowed to fly the royal flag, and private merchant ships are not allowed to represent the United Kingdom. The port authority should judge that valkiri is a pure merchant ship at the first time when it sees the St. George's flag."

"And did the United States and Britain interrupt trade? Or did we go to war again? Did valkiri show hostility? None. How did the port authority judge the threat?"

"Of course it's because your Valkyrie looks too much like a battleship!"

"Aha? Do I still need to apologize for valkiri's look?"

"No! The US Navy will certainly develop. In less than two years, we will make a voice in the world order!"

"I didn't expect you to be a positive and optimistic gentleman..."

"Take control of your men, President Drake." General Smith gave Lorraine a heavy stare. "I'll go to the federal office to reply immediately. I don't want to hear any more unkind actions from you before Mr. President boarded the ship tomorrow!"

"Yes, sir." Lorraine yawned and gave a nondescript military salute. "Before leaving the port, my people will be imprisoned on the ship. We are legal and good businessmen. Even if we are blackmailed by the sheriff, we will never resist."

……

Soon, night.

The luxurious carriage sped into the Hudson River Wharf and stopped in front of the plank road of Berth 1.

There were three people in the car, two men and a woman. The men were chuck and Leonard, the president and vice president of Drake America. The woman... Was Hannah.

Sheriff detective wise, who was ordered to hide in the dark to monitor valkiri, immediately came up for questioning.

It was dark at the dock. When he came near, detective wise saw chuck's familiar and angry face.

There was a thump in his heart.

Chuck Parker is a real big man in New York. He holds the powerful Drake America branch in his palm. He not only makes friends with the big men in the Department of Commerce, the Department of Finance and New York State, but also marries the Pearl of Congressman Alves. He is a real American son-in-law.

Detective wise had the honor to meet chuck at a private party of the sheriff. Even a big man like the sheriff looked pale around him.

But now, the big man came to the dock with anger, and the goal was very clear, that was the English giant ship that was ordered by the top to be closely monitored by detective wise.

This ship... Whose ship is it again?

Detective wise had no choice but to meet him nervously, stop him nervously in front of chuck and show the police badge hidden under the windbreaker.

"That... President Parker?"

"What's your name, detective?"

"Wyeth... Wyeth, Bennett Wyeth!"

"Detective wise..." Chuck stroked his collar. "Did I break the law?"

"No..."

"So did Drake's chamber of Commerce break the law?"

"Neither..."

"So is it my chairman, my boss, Mr. Lorraine Drake, and TADIR varkiri who broke the law in the process of entering Hong Kong?"

It turned out that the ship was the ship of the big boss of Drake chamber of Commerce

Detective wise almost cried, but at this time he could only harden his head: "your Chamber of Commerce's ship is suspected of..."

"Who sent you the surveillance order!" Chuck didn't want an answer at all, and his momentum erupted.

"This... Sorry..."

"Your title is not qualified enough to apologize to me." Chin looked coldly at detective wise, "please continue to perform your task and take a message to your director when you resume your life tomorrow. My lawyer's team will talk to him about the next thing and talk to him in the parade court..."
