All around are boundless blue, vast and transparent, like the oil paint stirred by bear children. The top of the head is green, the foot is deep, and the middle is a black blue shadow with white foam. Generally, it is called "sea".
The boundless sea is the color that sailors love all their lives. However, along the way, Lorraine has never been able to see it under the intervention of over protected American think tanks. At the end of his vision, there is always the shadow of the mainland.
Until today.
This morning's positioning shows that the northbound fleet has officially crossed the latitude of Cape Cod, and the high seas selected by Shaq meet somewhere on the high seas outside the Gulf of Maine. From the perspective of navigation, it is meaningless to continue to sail close to the shore.
Edre consulted with American passengers, and valkiri was finally authorized to leave the coast and sail to the depths of the northwest ocean.
After sailing for half a day, the color of the sea became darker and darker, and the wind and waves under his feet increased significantly. Lorraine timely ended the 21 rotation system, three-quarters of the people arrived at the post, and all the seafarers' rotation holidays ended.
Until then, the United States really saw the gap between itself and Drake's most elite seafarer group.
The escort fleet is not adapted to the blue ocean.
Their ship has absolutely no problem sailing in the blue ocean. Both the classic Old French style and the Baltimore type improved on it have many years of ocean going experience and have long been proved to be able to adapt to a variety of extreme weather conditions.
The problem is with their sailors.
Once the reference of land is lost, naval officers who lack ocean going experience always care about one thing and lose the other between routes and formations. However, in just four or five hours, the diamond escort formation has been deformed three times. Each time, it was first discovered by walkiri's observers and gave accurate and effective adjustment suggestions.
This hurt Lieutenant Smith who escorted the fleet
His flagship failed to play the role of flagship. Instead, it was valkiri, who was most likely to be disconnected from the fleet. While accommodating the slow-moving escort ship, he controlled the navigation status of the whole fleet.
"Although we don't want to admit it... But we really have a long way to go..." governor Smith looked complex and stood by the side of the ship, muttering, looking at the two figures on the valkiri, Lorraine and Washington, more than 50 meters away, "Mr. President..."
……
I don't know whether to meet Shaq or leave the offshore relationship, the American restriction order that lasted for more than ten days was suddenly cancelled soon after adelay consulted offshore opinions.
The presidential entourage was allowed to have free contact with the crew of the varkiri. Although it didn't make much sense, it at least made the deck a little more angry.
It was in this context that Washington found Lorraine who seemed idle.
"Mr. President." he came out of the poop like an ordinary rich gentleman and went straight to Lorraine.
"Mr. President." Lorraine smiled, turned around, stroked his chest and saluted, "I've finally seen Mr. President on the deck for more than ten days."
"That's not accurate," Washington retorted with a smile. "We met on deck first. In New York, it's only twelve days from today."
"Ships that have not left Hong Kong and ships that have left Hong Kong are two kinds of creatures. As seafarers, we generally do not regard them as the same."
"It sounds like this cognitive method is the same as what you did in Miami. Hostile Indians and surrendered Indians are treated very differently, I heard."
Washington chose an interesting topic, the Indians, a remote topic that Lorraine had not prepared and could not have had time to prepare.
Lorraine's smile was brighter.
"What you hear is probably a rumor, Mr. President. From the perspective of businessmen, the value of manpower in my eyes is the same, not related to skin color."
"But civilization does make the value of different skin colors different, doesn't it?"
"I don't think it's civilization. It's education. Education is the added value of manpower."
Washington's face showed a surprised expression: "are you going to educate the surrendered Indians?"
"Why not? Indians, whites and blacks can communicate in English after receiving a certain degree of education. Moreover, their muscle structure is very similar. At least until now, I have never seen goods that can only be carried by whites."
"This is probably the deepest explanation of labor I've ever heard." Washington laughed.
"Maybe." Lorraine decided to take the initiative. "Why is Mr. President suddenly interested in Indians?"
Washington shook his head. "I have no interest in Indians."
"No?"
"No," Washington said. "This conversation is just a simple suggestion from an older person to young people."
"Indians and wolves, both of which are hunting beasts, are species competing for living space with people."
"But they are far more dangerous than wolves because they walk on both feet and are similar to people in many ways."
"We should be careful of them."
"In 1779, I told Major General John Sullivan that if we put waste near all settlements, our country will not only be flooded, but destroyed. Now I give it to you intact."
Lorraine was stunned by the sudden racist speech.
He tried to digest Washington's point of view, and a word suddenly jumped into his mind.
"Mr. President, I seem to have heard the westward advance."
"I didn't use the word, at least not today." Washington did not affirm or deny, "Mr. President, the pioneers of the new world can never avoid fighting with Indians. They call me the town destroyer, not because I killed many Indians myself, but because I clearly know their threat and have an uncompromising will."
"In the new world, we and the Indians can only leave one. You have great power, and you have to make a decision."
"I see." Lorraine sighed. "I always thought you were a supporter of racial equality."
"I do support the emancipation of black slaves. They have no civilization and no threat. They deserve God's sarendra."
"But they will always grow up, and grow up under the shelter of whites. One day they will be more threatening than Indians."
Lorraine pointed out sharply the contradiction in Washington's thought.
"Mr. President, more than 200 years ago, Britain, France, Spain and the Netherlands... These powers trained their pirates to fight the enemy in the Caribbean. At that time, they also felt that only a few pirates would not become a threat. As a result, the pioneering people paid for the connivance of these countries. Even now, the overall strength of the pirate world is far greater than that of the United States."
"I'm not saying that the powerful countries did wrong more than 200 years ago. After all, pirates made Britain and the Drake family." Lorraine laughed with self mockery. "What I want to say is that the enemy is the most important thing for mankind. They will come out in front of us without deliberately looking for it."
"I'll kill them after they show their tusks and before they release their murderous spirit. If I can't kill them, I'll escape. This is my principle to deal with the enemy."
Washington said expressionless, "even if he is your brother?"
"Brother, motherland, or allies around them... Once they regard me as an enemy, they are no different from ordinary enemies to me."
"Allies around... Right..."
