Four days.
On the varkiri, which is only 62.2 meters long at the bow and stern and 13.6 meters wide at the left and right, the American team and the ship team did not have any meaningful communication for four days. The two sides kept an invisible social distance, nodded when they met and were silent. Two parallel lines without intersection were drawn on the coastline of the United States, extending all the way across the longitude of Rhode Island.
The awkward deadlock was not broken until entering Massa vineyard island. During the day when the crew of valkiri were on the deck, Hamilton took a brown haired beauty to find Lorraine fishing at the stern of the ship.
"Oh, I'm worthy of being a white flag pirate king. I always know how to spend the boring time on the ship."
"Pass the time?" Lorraine and the white ear lying in Lorraine's arms burst their hair at the same time.
One man and one cat looked back at the same pity of looking at the dry duck, meowing and emphasizing.
"In the holy sea area of Massa vineyard Island, boating is only a process, and fishing is life!"
"Especially in June, small bamboo pod fish explore in the tide near the sea. They have a strong appetite and bite when they see the hook. They can give people endless fun of fishing, and can also satisfy the belly of white ears with their fresh and tender bodies..."
As Lorraine was talking, the thin and soft tip of the rod suddenly sank, and the long fishing line cut pure white light and shadow in the sun. The feedback of that force fell into Hamilton's eyes, which made him almost think Lorraine had caught a shark.
But... If it's a shark, Lorraine's response is too easy.
He was holding the fishing rod with one arm, his muscles did not bulge, and people and fish were deadlocked across a long line. After only a moment, Lorraine won.
A silver shuttle fish was pulled off the water by the fishing line and jumped high between the sea and the sky. Before falling back into the water, Lorraine took back the line and turned the winch to drag the fish onto the deck.
It's probably only a finger long
Hamilton stared straight at the little bamboo pod fish: "it... Shrunk?"
"The bamboo pod fish will not mature until September. The fish in June is bigger than the fry and smaller than the adult fish. This is a strong man among the fish."
"A strong man the size of a finger?"
"In the world of whales, we are no bigger than this fish."
"It's actually about dialectics..." Hamilton rolled out his eyes wordlessly.
Lorraine untied the small bamboo pod fish from the hook and threw it in the air. White ears rushed out with a meow, and completely stretched out in the air
Sooner or later, a white light came down from the sky, like a lightning flash, chasing past white ear's mouth. Just a croak, fish! It's gone!
Hamilton looked at the empty white ears, fell to the ground, and found the white light on the yard along the amber pupil of the cat.
McCarthy took the fish in his mouth, raised his head and gulped it down. Jenny flapped her wings and swaggered against her white ears. The fluff swirled in the wind and floated gently in the middle of Hamilton's eyebrows.
"Meow!!!"
The war between cat and bird began again. The scene was once very chaotic. In the eye of the storm on the battlefield, Lorraine picked up the fishing rod and looked at the woman behind Hamilton with her head tilted.
"Miss I haven't seen... Your lover? Mistress? Or Madam?"
"Unfortunately, none of them," Hamilton said. "Miss Isaiah Solomon, a well-educated lady, is one of the most trusted financial advisers of the president and the most beautiful single aristocrat recognized by the federal office."
"Solomon's financial adviser?"
Lorraine suddenly became interested and looked seriously at the beauty around Hamilton for the first time.
Long brown hair, deep facial features and tall figure.
Her stature is higher than that of Haina. Her slightly wide shoulders support the lady's swallow tail, and her gorgeous supporting skirt and light calf leather boots show her unforgettable and capable temperament.
Perhaps the temperament of her body is too publicity. Her body always has a cold taste around her. She feels unattainable and strangers are not close. So it is clear that she is a beautiful face, but she always leaves no impression. Even if she stares, her eyes will become hazy as soon as they float.
"Is it the daughter of the Solomon family?" Lorraine looked away and asked.
Hamilton smiled provocatively: "aha, in front of beautiful ladies, should normal unmarried men care more about other things?"
"Not as beautiful as Carmen and not as attractive as Hannah. Miss Solomon is the best woman I've ever seen in my life." Lorraine didn't even want to say polite words. "So, is it the Solomon family?"
"Yes, my father is Heim Solomon," replied Miss Solomon with a smile.
Heim Solomon, one of the countless legends in the history of the founding of the United States, is known as "the shadow of America" by those who know him because of his great contribution and unknown low-key.
Born in Poland, this gentleman is the descendant of Jewish refugees in Portugal.
When he was young, he traveled all over Europe and as far as India. During the tour, he taught himself management, finance, mastered eight languages, and established a business empire no less than the current Drake chamber of Commerce.
In 1775, he immigrated to New York and soon joined the "son of freedom" and became an important cadre in the war of independence. He was arrested twice and sentenced to death in 1778 for serving his sentence and plotting against Hessian mercenaries.
He easily escaped from the execution ground with his clever words. Since then, he moved to Philadelphia and devoted his family to the revolution.
During the long revolution, he was active as the most reliable wallet of the Continental Army for a long time. His main achievements include helping Adams get Dutch loans during his mission, packaging and selling all his industries in Europe and Asia, changing from the Rothschild family, a Jewish plutocracy in France, to a huge sum of £ 3.5 million, all invested in the revolution, and so on.
His most legendary experience took place in 1781, on the eve of the decisive battle of the revolutionary war and the victory of York town.
At that time, the continental Legion led by Washington surrounded the Yorktown garrison of the Marquis of Cornwallis, but it needed at least 20000 pounds of war funds to launch a battle.
At that time, the credit of the Continental Army was already on the verge of bankruptcy, so that Mr. Robert Morris, the then chief financial officer, could only tell Washington by letter, "no funds, no loans".
After Washington received the letter, he went out and turned left, broke into Morris's tent and said [tell Heim Solomon].
Twenty thousand pounds of war funds arrived as scheduled. It is rumored that in order to collect enough money in the shortest time, Heim Solomon sold a large number of continental bonds at a low price, which directly led to his financial situation in trouble.
After the victory of the war of independence, Heim Solomon disappeared.
The last news about him came from last year. On January 6, 1785, the debt laden Heim Solomon died at home because he had no money. He was only 45 years old. A generation of business legend came to an end.
At that time, Lorraine and Carmen still felt a sigh, but now seeing the daughter with strong temperament, Lorraine began to doubt the authenticity of the rumor
He cleared his throat and asked carefully, "your father..."
Miss Solomon is probably used to dealing with such problems. Even if Lorraine stops talking, she still accurately catches the core of the problem.
"Some of the rumors are true," she said. "Last year, my father died of illness. Although the family was in debt, it was not impossible to pay his medical expenses."
"Er... I'm sorry."
"He just returned to the embrace of God." Miss Solomon smiled. "Mr. Drake, my father opened a shipyard and wood processing plant in Boston before his death. It was thanks to the care of your Chamber of Commerce maritime group that we maintained a decent life. Please allow me to express my gratitude to long-term party a and thank you very much."
"Ah... Unexpectedly, the Solomon family turned to shipbuilding..." Lorraine scratched his nose awkwardly. "Since miss is an insider, you show up with Alexander today, I guess your intention. Mr. President, are you ready?"
"Just as you think," Hamilton put away his smile. "At 9 o'clock tonight, Mr. President wants to borrow your war room."
"The only issue is the Navy revitalization plan?"
"The revolving door no longer needs to be discussed. Your memorandum fills Congress and the president with confidence."
"Full of confidence without any feedback, is this a political feature of America?"
"Because we have to issue dollars first." Hamilton said bluntly, "issuing dollars needs the support of all States. Mr. President is about to do this. You important chaebols outside the political ecology will not receive specific notice until all obstacles are cleared."
"Because we are natural supporters?"
"Because you are natural supporters." Hamilton patted Lorraine on the arm. "This time, I came to introduce Miss Solomon to you at the request of the president, and to inform the president of his invitation."
"The president said that the future of the United States needs a strong navy. He and members of the Department of the navy would like to hear the opinions of the maritime group with the most cutting-edge ship technology, and what kind of navy is suitable for the current United States in your mind..."
