Chapter 564

Instead of going straight to Boston, walkiri turned to Cape Cod Bay adjacent to Massachusetts Bay under the banner of supply and berthed at the anchorage outside prowinston port at the mouth of the bay.

"The second group prepares for duty on board, the third group purchases on land, and the remaining crew members move freely for two hours. They leave the port at 15:30 on time and enter Boston tonight!" Katrina shouted on the deck.

"Yes!"

The submachine was launched slowly under the orders of the sailors, and Lorraine, bell and Rashid, who had changed into civilian clothes, stood on the side.

"Bell, Mr. lieutenant colonel, join your team. You're responsible for losing him."

Bell scratched his head helplessly. "Is it because I look so unreliable?"

"It's good if you know yourself." Lorraine grinned. "We're going to Boston, and the Americans landed in Boston. The crew list before valkiri's voyage was reported in the United States, one more and one less. If someone checks it, it will reveal the horse's feet, which may affect our mutual trust and take precautions."

Leisid warmed up: "I'll go ashore in prowinston and return to Boston one day later. In five days, that is, June 22, you'll send someone to Evelyn's natural flavor flower shop on Wesley street in the North District. I'll tell you the location of the invitation. You're responsible for persuading the original holder."

"I see." Lorraine stretched himself. "I'm best at persuading people."

"That was one of the reasons why the Admiralty chose you, Mr. Muscat Sultan mourner."

"I feel honored..."

……

Sunset, moon rise.

On the night of June 16, 1786, hanging the pansy rose flag on a white background, valkiri glided across the sea of Boston's front Bay, riding the night wind and driving into the bustling Back Bay Wharf for the second time since joining the service.

A wanderer returns home.

Guided by the pilot's light, the proudest child of Boston shipbuilding industry put away his sails and slowly berthed into the private berth of Haite shipyard.

This berth is very famous in Houwan, fully known as Haite No. 3 large berth. It is made of standard stone, 140 meters long, 62 meters wide and 15.5 meters deep. In order to slow down underwater siltation, stones are laid underwater and silt retaining walls are set on both sides.

It is certainly not the largest and longest berth in Boston, but its design has only two stacks and two berths, which far exceeds the berthing needs of all ships today. It also shows the ultimate wild hope of Drake maritime group. It wants to build a super ship with data parameters twice that of valkiri.

Not to mention whether this wild hope is realistic at today's shipbuilding level, nor whether Haite shipyard has the hardware conditions to build this size.

The key to this matter is that the flashy proposal for the No. 3 large berth has indeed passed the project approval of Drake's board of directors. After site selection, investment and two years of completion and implementation.

On the ribbon cutting day at the end of last year, Boston shipbuilding industry got a real spiritual sublimation.

Even illiterate dockers no longer think that Europe is the eternal center of the world shipbuilding industry. Britain, France and Spain may represent the past and present of the shipbuilding industry, but Boston can better represent the future and should also represent the future.

Dock, anchor and lower the planks.

Lorraine walked down the deck and saw Edmund Haite waiting for a long time on the plank road.

Lorraine greeted him with a smile. "What a nice day, manager Haite."

"Boston is wet and sunny in summer. It is one of the most livable places in the world. If the chairman comes more than once, he will fall in love with this town."

"Really..." Lorraine stamped the solid bluestone plank road under his feet. "I heard that berth No. 3 has become a symbol?"

"It should be said to be the new lighthouse in Boston."

Haite stood beside Lorraine excitedly and danced like a treasure.

"Although there is only a small scale of double stack and double berth, it is undoubtedly the most advanced Wharf in the world, representing the development direction of the wharf in the future."

"Chairman, you see, there are distance measuring street lamps every ten meters on the plank road, the column body has bright hanging paint, and there are deeply buried gas pipelines underground."

"During the day, we mark the distance through the color light column, and at night, we mark the distance through the gas light on the top of the column, and provide lighting for incoming ships."

"In addition, we have also built a pilot tower between the two plank roads. The 30 meter high tower allows pilots to provide pilotage for incoming ships from 20 kilometers away. Of course, because we are a private wharf, this function is not used much. It is more to assist the lighthouse to guide ships to take refuge in foggy days."

"There are also steam cranes and steam suspension bridges. The former can provide towing, maintenance, loading and unloading services for large ships, while the latter can temporarily close the trestle or drain the berth at low tide to facilitate the cleaning of siltation."

"This is a future super wharf! Automation, mechanization and functionalization. Even if the standard is reduced by half, there can be no comparable existence in the world!"

Haite was very excited, while Lorraine scratched his nose awkwardly: "calm down, manager Haite, no matter how good the wharf is, it's only an accessory. The key lies in the ship. If it stops at such a wharf, even walkiri looks a little shabby..."

Haite's face turned red at once.

He is not familiar with Lorraine. For the sake of confidentiality, except for a few people, most partners of Drake chamber of Commerce do not know the relationship between Lorraine and KENWAY.

For Haite, Lorraine is the successor of KENWAY. He is richer, more generous and more courageous than KENWAY, but he is far less talkative than KENWAY.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Lorraine spoke highly of the employees of the former KENWAY business group. Both Karen, who has become a close friend with Haite, and Carmen, who has always been disliked by Haite, have been reused in Lorraine's hands.

Thanks to them, Haite can show his ability in a limited number of meetings and quickly establish good trust with the new boss.

Did you screw up this time

Haite lost his sense of propriety and looked right and left. He happened to see Carmen getting off the ship.

How could it be this woman!

Carmen disembarked and walked to Lorraine with a smile: "my captain, what are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the big berth No. 3." Lorraine shrugged. "Manager Haite is introducing me to the amazing features of the big berth."

Carmen narrowed his eyes and pretended to be surprised: "is it... The top berth in the world?"

Haite's face reddened even more. Because of the tension, the technician's clumsiness was undoubtedly revealed.

"It's the best, manager Xavier!"

"I only know that beautiful jewelry boxes can set off jewelry, but I have never heard gem craftsmen boast about the jewelry box itself." Carmen joked, "manager Haite, the board of directors approved the construction proposal of the large berth because they trust our craftsmen to overcome the fearless plan and the flying shear plan, and you happen to be the leader of the flying shear plan."

"Don't be proud of such a noble title, but admire an empty stone wharf... Manager Haite, is your confidence in the wrong place?"

"It will succeed!" Haite clenched his fist. "We will build a 100m class 20 section pure wind powered flying shear sailing boat!"

"This is the big three of the maritime group I have high hopes for." Lorraine patted Haite's arm with satisfaction. "Take us to the residence. This time I have to stay in Boston for a long time."

"Yes! Chairman, this way, please..."

……

At night, the lighthouse mountain is full of ghosts.

A voice said, "the new generation of overlord in the Caribbean, the flag of the white flag pirate king, did you see it just now?"

"I only see mocking and disdaining faces," replied the second voice.

"Ridicule? Disdain?" the third voice laughed. "This is probably the funniest joke I've heard this year."

"Isn't it?" the second voice retorted loudly. "He replaced the black flag with a white flag and the skeleton with flowers. That's telling everyone that he tried to conclude a new order of the Caribbean Pirate Empire, just like the emperor and the black Baron in those days!"

"In fact, it's different," said the third voice. "He still takes CAITONG skeleton as his pirate flag. Drake's ship flag is no different from that in Europe and Africa."

"Only in the new world, his ship completely abandoned CAITONG skeleton. I guess this is an expression of position. He wants to completely oppose us. However, our cowardly brother arbitrarily declared Baiqi as his new skeleton flag, as if he would abide by the constraints of the code as long as he admitted that he was a pirate."

"Cowardice..." the first voice sighed, "the brotherhood is rotten, Blackbeard and black Baron are frightened by white flag, and the traitor... Have you found Bellamy?"

"Only the stranded Vida was found, Bellamy and his men were gone." the third voice replied, "I said before that he can't be trusted. Calling him is a smelly chess."

"I just want to gather as much useful power as possible!" the first voice roared. "Who would have thought Bellamy would object!"

"You should have thought of his relationship with the brotherhood." the third voice sneered, "but now, it's useless to say. Bai Qi's single this time may be our last chance, and there must be no mistakes!"

"We'll meet again in ten days." the second voice stroked up his sleeve, "Black Prince Bellamy, that alien, I'll deal with..."
