Chapter 676

Compared with later generations, New York at the end of the 18th century is far from being the prosperous atmosphere symbolized by the word "city".

The Dutch spent half a century building their New Amsterdam at the intersection of the East River and the Hudson River. The British took her, knocked down the city wall and leveled a road at the ruins of the wall.

So far, Wall Street has become the latitude of New York. The Dutch city on the south of the street is the lower city, and the British city on the north of the street is the upper city.

The British did not like the name of Dutch city and English city. In order to declare their sovereignty over the whole new York, they planned three meridians in New York.

The longitude of the lower city is broadstr., which is an arc connecting the port and wall street. The starting point points to the New York port where thousands of sails cross, and the ending point is located in the city hall in the heart of the city.

The upper longitude is Queen's road, which rises from the Federal Hall on Wall Street to the suburbs.

The third meridian is another wide street in New York.

Broadway str. is the only thoroughfare across the upper and lower cities in New York. One end is tied to Fort George in the past of New York, and the other end runs to the future of New York, the vast undeveloped Manhattan wilderness.

In the final analysis, villages and forests still occupy about 34 land in Manhattan. In fact, the New York inherited by Americans is only a mere 3700 acres (about 15 square kilometers).

Americans subdivide their New York into six regions.

To the east of Queen's road is the new port area, to the north of Queen's road is the suburb, to the west of Queen's road - Wall Street - to the east of wide street is the East District, to the west of Broadway Street is the West District, and between the East District and the west district is bounded by Wall Street, dividing the South District and the North District.

The mercury manor of Drake chamber of commerce is located in the lower city of the East District, at the intersection of Wall Street, new port area and East River, at the East pole.

The West pole corresponding to it is the garrison of New York, which is the starting point of Broadway street. It is a stone bastion George Fort favored and trusted by three generations of soldiers from the Netherlands, Britain and the United States.

Founded in 1625, Fort George is the first artificial building and military facility built by the Dutch on Manhattan Island. At first, it was just a wooden square fortress.

Peter minute, the first governor of New Netherland in those years, fought against the local Lenape people by relying on this humble fortress, fought back the indigenous attacks more than ten times with fire guns and artillery, successfully forced them to the negotiating table, and bought the ownership of the whole Manhattan Island with 60 Dutch guilders and some cheap waste products.

In 1626, the Dutch officially settled in Manhattan, with only 300 first residents. In order to prevent the renape people from betraying their faith at any time, they strengthened the fort all the time, and it took about 10 years to build the original square Fort into the current bastion.

However, they did not wait for the Lenape attack. In 1664, the British fleet invaded the Hudson River and demolished the wooden Fort into scorched soil with decaying naval guns. Peter stevisant, governor of New Netherland, knew that he was unable to resist and surrendered.

After the change of ownership in New York, new Britons also took a fancy to the scorched ruins symbolizing the backbone of the Dutch. A large number of Lenape people were arrested as slaves and built more magnificent stone forts on the basis of the original site.

The new fort was built around 1700, including a series of fortifications such as fort, city wall, Fort, moat and Yangpo road. It is collectively referred to as George fort.

Since then, the new Fort George has become the core of coastal defense and army station in New York. With the ardent expectation of the people of New York, it was peaceful in the early stage of the war of independence and came back again at the juncture of the British army.

When the war ended and the eve of the British withdrawal, it was handed over to the Americans in a peaceful way for the second time, and changed from the patron saint of the British colonists to the national capital of the American Confederation.

It is undoubtedly magical. It has never been occupied when it is not expected. After being trusted, it has never been in war.

The Dutch pioneers in those years believed that it could let them live safely, and the later British soldiers and now American soldiers also believed that it could let them live safely.

……

Night, north wind.

Standing on the deserted bastion wall, Steven Gillard stared at the quiet Hudson River.

There was darkness, and there were waves in the darkness, constantly reminding people that there was also an ancient military port.

Hudson estuary was once a military port for the Netherlands, Britain and even Americans. In the early stage of the war of independence, Hudson River formation, one of the three major fleets of the Continental Army integrated by free merchant ships, was stationed here.

At that time, it was full of music all night. Enthusiastic New York girls gathered on the shore and showed their beauty in front of excellent naval officers like a golden rooster.

Now, the Hudson River formation is still there, but the attention of New Yorkers has long been attracted to the other end of Long Island.

There is a new fleet, cruisers built by Drake maritime group, destroyers built by Drake maritime group, brig and brigantin built by Drake maritime group

That fleet, called the long island fleet, is the first step in the revitalization plan of the U.S. Navy. It carries and reposes American ambitions and hopes for the sea.

However, Americans should not have awakened this unrealistic wild hope so early!

In the plan, the last decade of the 18th century should be the time for Freemasons to transform the United States, and the first two decades of the 19th century should be the time for Freemasons to develop the United States.

It was not until the middle of 1820-1850 that the United States, which completely accepted the Masonic ideal, rose, fought back against Europe with an irresistible momentum, and ascended to the top of the world under the guidance of those American brothers in Europe.

This is the Masonic plan!

Lorraine Drake broke their great plan

No, Lorraine Drake is just a dirty pirate and a humble businessman. What he did was driven by interests. It was Alexander Hamilton who really destroyed the Freemasonry plan. It was his damn revolving door plan!

Not right!

Alexander Hamilton is a creator and Lorraine Drake is a practitioner. These two people are equally hateful. Under the avalanche, there is no innocent snowflake!

They are sinners!

The masons will never let go of such a heinous criminal, and Steven Gillard has prepared everything for it.

"Just wait until..."

"Lord!"

A cry interrupted Gillard's imagination. He turned back angrily, with a pleasant face and peace: "my Meisheng Eugene brothers, what makes you so moved?"

"Lord!" Eugene took a deep breath. "An hour ago, the American student Gyllenhaal brothers from Wales asked to hand over his resignation application. He was the only successful candidate among the three candidates buried in the associated press, but in his resignation application, he said that Lorraine Drake would kill the traitor, which was the price he didn't want to pay."

Gillard's eyes suddenly coagulated: "Lorraine Drake... Does that dirty Viking bear notice our existence?"

"Not yet," Eugene took a deep breath. "I went to see the Mason Gyllenhaal brothers and thought he was respectful to us. He told me that Lorraine Drake had seen through our plan, but he hadn't noticed our existence."

"He also said that Drake is ready to unite with Hamilton. If we don't have the means to counter it, we will lose this Christmas dinner."

Gillard's eyebrows twisted into a rift valley: "even such important information tells us, why should Meisheng Gyllenhaal betray us?"

"I guess..." Eugene swallowed nervously. "I guess Lorraine Drake probably doesn't mind his information being leaked. Or maybe Mason Gyllenhaal thinks there are enough insiders of these information to at least not lead Drake's butcher's knife..."

"He betrayed us. His heart must be afraid of our revenge, so he offered these vital information and asked for our forgiveness."

Gillard did not speak immediately.

He was silent and thinking, his eyebrows stretched a little over time, and his face returned to the kind face of Zhongzheng peace.

"You have solved my question, my Eugene brothers," he said with a smile. "I want you to do two things."

"Yes!"

"First, in addition to American students Gyllenhaal and Lorraine Drake, send people to persuade everyone in the 100 business association. Our American students may expose their identity, so don't choose people who are qualified to attend the Christmas dinner."

Eugene nodded heavily.

"The second thing..." Gillard hissed like a snake. "Betrayal must be punished. The matter of Meisheng Gyllenhaal should be handled by brother Si Wei. Please ask him to design it skillfully and have enough topics to help us convince."

"... yes, Lord! We will build Solomon's temple!"

"We will build Solomon's temple, no doubt."
