December 24, Christmas Eve.
The streets and alleys of New York are dim, and every family is full of fire, trees and silver flowers.
Christmas in the West and the new year in the East have always had a similar weight in people's hearts. If Orientals are interested in the auspiciousness represented by leaving the old and welcoming the new, then Westerners are interested in the holiness and hope brought by divine rebirth.
At Christmas, Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
New Yorkers reveled in the last night before the son's resurrection, and on the other side of the sea, the night on the governor's island was deep.
At about 11:30 p.m., a dozen submachine boats rushed to the stone beach of governor island in the night.
Blackbeard's majestic body jumped down the side of the beloved Lucia. Zainni held him steady, raised his head, and soon found the flickering wind lamp not far away.
"Let chamuyam and Freeman organize the Stormtrooper team and stand by in silence." he whispered, "you and nasion will meet me."
"Yes!"
The joint is located in a sea cave near the stone beach.
Walk more than 50 meters inward under the guidance of the wind lamp, turn two big turns in a row, and Blackbeard sees a brightly lit dry stone platform.
Several U.S. military officers were busy with odds and ends. Colonel Tennessee Kay, the chief of urban defense of Williamsburg, stood in front of a square table. The map on the table was obviously the geography of governor's Island.
"We will build Solomon's temple." Blackbeard led zainih and nasion up.
"We will build Solomon's temple." Colonel Kai made a mark on the map and greeted him without raising his head.
Nasion stepped forward discontentedly: "Mr. Colonel, it is said that you are a cultured gentleman!"
"Upbringing, sir." Colonel Kay put down his pen and looked up. "I'm a naval officer of the Hudson fleet of the United States. Before I became an officer, I was a marine businessman."
"The common belief makes me advance and retreat with you, but my life is branded in my bone marrow. I don't like you."
"You..."
Blackbeard's big hand pressed on nasion's shoulder and stopped him: "brother Mason Kay, the Lord asked me to meet you. I certainly hope we can cooperate with each other."
"I'll do everything I have to do, which doesn't need you to worry about." Colonel Kay lowered his eyes. "I heard that you prevented the outbreak of the all-out war, American Wilford. Just for this, no matter how unwise it is to enlighten you, the brothers and sisters in the meeting recognize your contribution in this event."
"I didn't expect you to agree with me, which surprised me."
"Don't be surprised." Colonel Kai pushed the map in the direction of Blackbeard. "The Freemasons are not suitable for all-out war. The Lord and those noble gentlemen are very wise, but they are not good at war. Leaving the work of soldiers to soldiers and limited mobilization is our choice."
"Look at the map."
The crowd gathered around the table and listened to Colonel Kai explain the map.
"The place where you landed is in the south of the island," he said. "This beach is adjacent to Williamsburg, the coastal defense core on the governor's Island. It belongs to the military control zone prohibited by tenants. The sea watch tower and night patrol of Hudson manor can not extend to this generation. People outside the cave can gather at ease."
"On the grounds of military security, our Meisheng brothers in the Asset Management Bureau asked Drake chamber of Commerce to provide basic information about landing personnel."
"Most of the so-called 600 people are employees of New York or long island. Because of Christmas, most of them have left the island after renovating the manor. Now there are 217 people left on the island, all elite of 12 chambers of Commerce and attendants transferred from mercury manor."
"There is a brig at the manor wharf. It is an armed merchant ship of Drake American chapter, the green swallow falcon. It is full and equipped with 84 people, which are recorded in the number of people landing on the island."
"Among your goals, the directors of the 100 business association are nominally on the island, but I didn't see them at the two visits the day before yesterday and yesterday. Only Alexander Hamilton, Lorraine Drake and Carmen Xavier are sure to be on the island."
"Alexander Hamilton, as rumored, was seriously injured and looked very bad. He still can't get out of bed. His room is in the second room on the left on the third floor. There is a whole elite medical service for him, four people."
"In addition, there is the defense of Hudson manor..."
After a brief account of the situation, Colonel Kai looked up and said, "how many people did you bring, Mason Wilford?"
"The characteristics of Queen Anne's revenge are too obvious. I hid it in New Jersey. This time, I came with 140 of my stormtroopers and 70 of Mr. Svay's Templars."
Kai's eyes were bright: "Mr. Si Wei brought the whole church?"
"Yes, the whole church, including himself, will participate in this round of action."
"Great, great!" Colonel Kay squeezed his fist. "What's your goal?"
Blackbeard was silent for a moment.
"The LORD said that Bai Qi took the initiative to pull out all his feathers this time. I hope I can seize the opportunity to kill him and Alexander Hamilton together, and there will be no future trouble."
"He is still so far sighted. As long as Bai Qi dies, the 100 business associated press is likely to break itself because of the uneven distribution of profits, or lose the opportunity to cooperate with the United States because of the loss of ties."
"Even if they are lucky to deal with all unexpected changes, as long as they kill Alexander Hamilton, the Lord can let our Meisheng brothers penetrate into the revolving door plan. With the help of our insiders, we can still control the future of the United States."
"However, with my understanding of Bai Qi, things may not be so smooth."
"I have been fighting with Bai Qi for many years and have never seen him underestimate the enemy. His people must be on the island, such as Haina yesla, Lev Eriksson, Wang Ye, Noah Sara, pierce yatis, etc. if I guess well, most of them are on the island."
"My goal this time is to kill Alexander Hamilton, kill him and disturb the operation of the revolving door. White flag is an additional target. I will kill if I can. If I don't have a chance, I won't force it."
Colonel Kai glanced at Blackbeard in surprise: "Meisheng Wilford brothers, I have to admit that you are very different from the rumor."
"Recklessness is a kind of protection." Blackbeard smiled grimly. "Brother Mason Kay, a really reckless pirate won't live long. Please remember this when you go to eliminate pirates in the future. There are no reckless men above big pirates."
"I've written it down." Colonel Kai nodded heavily. "Mason Wilford, when are you going to start?"
"Sooner rather than later."
The black beard raised his black blade and banged it on the map. The sharp serrations were right in the mark of Hudson manor and poked the thick parchment through.
"At dawn, America will receive the sad news of the death of the interim Treasury secretary. On such a special day, I believe your Lord will like this Christmas gift."
