"Unexpectedly... Unfinished?"
The defense meeting is over. Obviously, he has left with people, but Lorraine still has a very unreal and illusory feeling.
Americans want to form a navy.
A combat fleet is of great political and national defense value to the current American government.
They can't get international support, otherwise the joke like gift ship doesn't have to be built in England, and it won't be so poor that it hasn't completed the first draft design so far.
If they want the Navy, they can only rely on the excellent ship groups in the new world.
Even if maritime group is not the only choice, it is also the best solution among all choices.
Based on the above five points
George Washington, what the hell is this thing doing?
Lorraine was angry.
The group walked back to the temporary meeting room where they started. As soon as they entered the door, he threw his wig on the sofa.
This situation is very rare for Lorraine. After all, the captain is the soul of a ship. As a professional sailor, he always remembers to convey the positive sunshine and self-confidence to the crew below.
But this time, Shaq's ignorance, American concealment and Washington's ignorance were combined, and finally broke through the limit of his patience. The negative anger was completely vented with this fall, like a flash flood.
Churuqi!
Fortunately, Carmen and Karen and Lorraine have been partners for ten years.
Although he was startled by his outbreak, his intuition got the reason and knew that Lorraine's angry target was not in the cabin at all.
If you find the reason and look at his actions, you will still feel novel in addition to worrying.
Unfortunately, it's not just the old guys of Lorraine's team who participated in the defense today.
Little favna huddled pitifully.
She has little courage and almost no self-confidence. She doesn't have any daily knowledge of Lorraine. Think carefully. She even sees Lorraine angry for the first time
People who lack self-confidence often have embarrassing extreme self-confidence in many aspects. For example, as long as someone is dissatisfied, they subconsciously feel that they must be wrong
"President... Yes... Sorry..."
Lorraine, who wanted to curse his mother, was interrupted to cast the spell. He looked back blankly and found a little girl who was almost integrated with the shadow by the door: "
With tears in her eyes, fafuna pinched the hem of the dress: "I... it's because I talked to myself that I screwed up the business... I... I'm ashamed of the president's expectation... If..."
"Some self righteous, Han Ji."
Carmen was talking. She gently put her hand on fafuna's head and stroked it along the direction of growth. Her voice was as gentle as the warm sun in spring.
She smiled and said to fafuna, "it has nothing to do with you, captain. It's not you. In my heart, you did well tonight. It would be better if you could get out of the screen."
"Manager Xavier, really... Really?"
"I won't praise people against my heart. Since you have done well, your performance is very good."
The guilt in fafuna's heart was finally dispelled, but it was just some.
She looked up gratefully: "but, manager Xavier, is the business still screwed up? If it's you and Mr. President..."
"Although I don't want to say that, even if I answer with the captain, I don't think the result will be different. At most, out of politeness, Americans won't interrupt halfway."
"Why?"
"This is what we need to investigate next." Carmen patted fafuna on the forehead. "Well, everyone has worked hard today. Go to bed early. Don't forget that we are still on the way."
Carmen smiled, fafuna bowed her head shyly, and there was no doubt in her mind: "yes... I... I quit."
Favna left, and only favna left.
When she got out of the cabin and closed the door, Karen had poured three rum at the small bar, pushed one to Lorraine, and left the other in place, waiting for Carmen to pick it up.
The three drank the muggy wine quietly.
For a while, Lorraine looked at Carmen with strange eyes: "Carmen, do you think the next conversation is not suitable for Han Ji?"
"It's not inappropriate to participate... Why does your captain think so?"
"At ordinary times, you won't comfort Han Ji at all. Even if you look at Katrina's face, you'll only tell her that the defense result is not her fault, right?"
"Usually I will comfort."
"Huh?"
"Because girls with low self-esteem are difficult to convince, coaxing away is the most energy-saving way," Carmen said of course. "There is also the question of whether the next conversation is suitable for her participation. It is not that she is not suitable, but because coaxing away is more convenient."
"Aha..." Lorraine was so impressed that even her previous depression dissipated unconsciously.
He quickly cleared up his mood and got up to add a second cup to the three: "Karen, do you think the United States has any intention of purchasing warships?"
"It looks serious." Karen shook the ice in his glass. "Maybe the navy has other ideas on suppliers. You see, we are not the American Chamber of Commerce after all."
"Political considerations?"
Lorraine thinks Karen's explanation is reasonable to some extent, because the Navy revitalization plan is a national defense order. The United States will certainly prefer its own chamber of Commerce in terms of human relations and security.
But just as Lorraine analyzed the revolving door plan for Hamilton earlier, does American business really have the ability to undertake this project independently?
Rather than saying that the US Navy wants to give its warship orders to its shipyards, Lorraine prefers political considerations. They want to give orders to the French.
It just conflicts with Washington's behavior again.
If the United States had long decided to separate Drake chamber of Commerce from the Navy revitalization plan, many of his actions and words would be superfluous. For example, there would be no need to organize this tiger head and snake tail defense meeting.
At the thought of this, Lorraine frowned and shook his head.
"It should not be political considerations, or all speculation that excluded us from the supplier list conflicts with what they are doing now. That's what I can't figure out."
Karen scratched his head: "by the way, they have an appointment with your brother on the high seas? And they are worried that he will tear up the peace agreement. From this point of view, are they going to hang us with orders and let us be boatmans in Washington?"
"Definitely not." Carmen rubbed the rim of the cup and looked absent-minded. "We can't refuse General Washington's request with or without this order."
"Because of the American Chapter?"
"Because of the revolving door plan," Lorraine answered Karen's question, "No matter how big the order of the Navy revitalization plan is, the current financial situation of the United States can bring limited profits to the chamber of commerce every year, which is a problem of making more and less. The revolving door plan will make qualitative changes to Drake chamber of Commerce, and we will gain the right to affect American politics. In the long run, we may also affect the pattern of America and even the world through the United States Something you can't lose. "
"Then it's completely impossible to explain the behavior of the United States tonight." Karen spread her hand. "Maybe it's really like what Han Ji said. Those careful eyes lost their manners and were angry with her words..."
"I think..." Carmen hesitated for a moment. "What do you say? I doubt that General Washington is still worried about our position."
Lorraine was stunned: "hang the bait in case we give him up when things change?"
"This is the only explanation. Although there are some villains, it is in line with the style of politicians. They trust interests more than promises," Carmen said.
"That's really disgusting..."
"He'll make up for it." Carmen picked up the glass and printed a tempting lip print on the edge of the glass. "If tonight's thing was really a trick designed long ago, the United States must have secretly passed the bill to take the maritime group as the only supplier of the Navy."
"Politicians are good at slapping sweet dates. Now they slap them. Soon, we should be able to see the appearance of dates."
Before her voice fell, there was a knock on the door outside the cabin. It was edley.
"Captain, Miss Solomon came and said she hoped that we would send an interim presidential entourage to assist the admirals of the navy in studying the composition of our planned fleet."
Lorraine couldn't help rolling her eyes: "this jujube is so sweet..."
He emptied the glass in one gulp, his eyes jumping back and forth between Carmen and Karen.
Carmen playfully raised his hands: "I don't like Americans today, um... Especially those greasy generals."
This sentence means that the result of choice has come out.
Lorraine looked at Karen sincerely: "Karen, as a gentleman who has been single for many years, I guess you won't refuse the opportunity to live with a lady, will you?"
