Chapter 546

9 p.m. in the warkiri war room.

Lorraine and Carmen were the first two to arrive at the war room, about 15 minutes earlier than the agreed time.

They only waited for that 15 minutes.

When the clock pointed to 9 o'clock sharp, the cabin door of the war room was pushed open. Washington's attendant entered the cabin and saw Lorraine and Carmen sitting beside the cabin at a glance.

He was stunned on the spot.

"President Drake, manager Xavier, I remember we were the host today?"

"The venue of the reply meeting is like your reception room. The guests should arrive earlier than the host. The only thing omitted is the servant's notice. On board, this red tape is insignificant."

"Er..." the attendant was unable to refute, so he had to skip this paragraph and stand at attention with a slap. "Your Excellency General Washington has arrived!"

Carmen took Lorraine's hand and stood up, facing the hatch together.

After a while, Washington and his entourage entered the cabin successively. There were nine people, including Washington and his attendants, including three generals of the Navy and miss Solomon. As Lorraine expected, there was no Hamilton.

Washington held out his hand to Lorraine: "Mr. President, and beautiful ladies, America welcomes you."

"It's really strange to be treated as a guest on his own ship..." Lorraine pretended to complain, "good evening, Mr. President, gentlemen."

"Sit down."

Washington said and sat down in the main seat. When everyone found his seat, he leaned over to Lorraine.

"Mr. President, I've been thinking about how to start our communication these days."

"How do you start?" a strange opening remark. "Do people like Mr. President have trouble?"

"Weak countries and few people are trembling. It took us eight years to defeat our opponents who are far stronger than us, but the whole world knows that we have only won, but we are not the winner of this war."

Washington calmly analyzed the greatest achievement of his life, objective and rational, neither proud nor modest.

"The British call us Hicks. We must have been so excited that we think God has given us miracles."

"In fact, we did forget ourselves, but fortunately, as politicians leading the country, we woke up in time."

"America is in danger." Washington grinned. "No one knows how long the warranty period of the Paris peace treaty is. Britain has been eyeing us, but our important friends, France and Spain, have no obligation and reason to help us again."

"We need the strength of self-protection, a strong democratic government, a tenacious army, a reliable Navy, and as rich and united as possible. These are the goals we need to pursue before the next war of independence."

Washington stopped talking and straightened up in silence.

"Mr. President, Mr. Lorraine Drake, do you know your brother?"

The sudden question caught Lorraine unprepared. Lorraine frowned unhappily: "Mr. President, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You doubt my motivation to change my itinerary and inquire about the secrets of the United States all night." Washington said, "the Confederate parliament is still united in the general direction. Although I don't know how you received the information, at least I know you did inquire and got the answer."

"Your brother, Baron Tavistock, commander of the North American fleet of the Royal British navy, Admiral shack Drake, threatened us with a mere warship and 108 guns."

"That's why I asked the office to disclose my itinerary to you. I originally planned to travel all over the central and northeast. They are connected, safe and loyal. Without your brother, I would prefer to stay with my people on land."

"So please tell me about your relationship with your brother. His invitation is the main reason why we hire you, and your position is an important basis for whether to continue this defense."

The reply suddenly became a question. Lorraine looked at Washington and tried to explore the meaning behind the question.

Meaning is very important.

Just like before attending the meeting, Lorraine learned Washington's favor for the maritime group and the demand for this defense through the strange combination of Hamilton and miss Solomon. Washington's words must also have some meaning.

What does Washington want to say? What do you want to convey? Or don't want to express anything, just need Lorraine's answer to convince his staff?

It doesn't seem like much.

Valkiri's election as the president ship itself shows that Americans are not worried that Lorraine and Shaq will conspire to harm the top of the United States.

Or, compared with the risk of Shaq's hands on Washington, Lorraine's risk rating of becoming an accomplice will not exceed [acceptable].

They don't worry about Lorraine's position, so they naturally don't need Lorraine to express their position. In this way, all the words said by Washington have lost their meaning and have no value at all. Lorraine's answer is the same.

Will the president of the United States do such meaningless things?

Lorraine was skeptical. The more skeptical he was, the more cautious he was, the more he thought.

While thinking deeply, he suddenly heard Carmen smile.

"Mr. President, if your country doubts valkiri's position, the escort fleet is on the side. The United States can return to its ship at any time, and we can interrupt our trip at any time. Anyway... Valkiri has no reason to go to Boston."

"Mr. President is not questioning the loyalty of your Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Xavier. Please speak carefully," retorted lieutenant general Lingus, deputy chief of general staff.

Carmen clattered away the fan and smiled coldly.

"First of all, Drake chamber of commerce is not loyal to the president. As a powerful multinational chamber of Commerce, we will always uphold neutrality, which is the principle."

"Secondly, this time, valkiri became the president ship called employment, but your country never mentioned the issue of Employment Commission in the process of contact."

"We are willing to regard this as the price of friendship, but true friendship must be equal. Your country should not and is not qualified to deprive us of our right to know on the grounds of our investigation."

"We know that we are going to face a huge beast on the sea, but we are not afraid to retreat. What about your country? Concealing the intention to induce us to accept the task, even if we decide to make it public, we will try to rationalize the concealment. Is this the way your country treats its friends? Or is it Mr. President's consistent..."

"Nonsense!" "Carmen, stop!"

Carmen's singing was softly interrupted by Lorraine. He smiled, Mimi waved his hands and faced lieutenant general linggus who got up.

"Carmen, we can't find the words to admit our mistakes in the dictionary of politicians, just as as as businessmen, we will never take the initiative to seek losses."

The corners of his mouth made a mocking arc.

"Now that you have clearly communicated the next itinerary to me, can the respondent begin? The respondent has been waiting outside for a long time."

Washington did not have the slightest anxiety of being exposed: "respondent? Is Mr. President not the respondent this time?"

"I really want to use words to persuade the president to build a world-class powerful navy. Unfortunately, that's not what the president wants to hear."

"The next defense will be given by Mr. Karen Scott, the best sailing designer in the world, and assisted by Miss fafuna Hanji, the most potential tactical researcher of Drake's fleet."

"They are unparalleled experts in their professional fields. I believe that even if the business fails, Mr. President will feel the current marine conditions and benefit a lot."

Washington laughed happily and said, "you have successfully scored extra points for yourself, Mr. President. I'm looking forward to this defense meeting!"
