Chapter 687

The wind is a little strong at night, especially in the relatively high places on the island. The sea breeze in winter always gives people a "cold" feeling.

Pierce leaned against the low wall, bit open the tail of the paper shell bullet, spit out the medicine surface in his mouth, and carefully filled the launch capsule in Kentucky.

In the second step, he turned the empty end of the cartridge case, bit the top, poured the gunpowder into the barrel, pulled out the strip and compacted the gunpowder.

Step three

The general long gun has been loaded in two steps, and only Kentucky needs the third step.

He placed the whole strip against the wall, freed his hand to break the hard and brittle cartridge case, and poured out the round silver white lead bullet.

The lead bullet is like a pearl and its outline is slightly larger than the barrel. It can only be placed at the muzzle and will not flow into the barrel like a smooth bore gun.

Pierce held it firmly, his fingers pressed and rotated downward.

Circle, circle, circle. The soft lead is cut through the surface by sharp rifling and rolled into the chamber like a screw.

The fingers soon lost their strength.

Pierce picked up the pass bar, pressed it tightly, and through the rotation of the pass bar, passed the oversized bullet to the end of the bore, pressed it with the gunpowder, until it could no longer move, and a Kentucky completed the loading action.

"The third one..." sighed heavily. Pierce leaned the loaded guns against the stack of the low wall side by side, and picked up the next one, "three younger sisters."

"Hmm?" Xiao Sanmei stopped her hand and looked up suspiciously, "Junlang, what's the matter?"

"County... Wave?" pierce bit hard. "Isn't it a woman... County?"

"Husband means husband." Xiao Sanmei lowered her head and blushed, "Junlang... Junlang is more complicated. She is both husband and master."

"Before I left, Shiniang told me that my wife is expensive by her son and my concubine is expensive by her husband. Since I abandoned the way of marriage, I should keep my duty and respect Junlang. Don't annoy my wife for some details, and finally make my house uneasy."

Three younger sister's words are mixed with a lot of Chinese that are difficult to translate, sometimes Chinese and sometimes English, which makes pierce completely unable to understand.

But it's impossible not to understand at this time. He knows this, so he has to understand it.

"Aha, Chinese is so complicated." he scratched his head and put aside his thoughts. "Three younger sisters, how many did you install?"

"Four."

"How fast..."

Because of this inhumane large lead bullet, Kentucky's loading speed has always been the biggest obstacle to its becoming the mainstream of rifles.

The average loading speed of Kentucky is three minutes. The most skilled shooter can be compressed to a little more than one and a half points, while pierce takes almost four minutes. Xiao Sanmei is faster than him and can earn three points in quality and quantity.

The main force of loading has always been Xiao Sanmei.

Ten guns were prepared, and six were given to her before the war. In case of war, she would complete all the loading.

"Attack..." Xiao Sanmei finished loading another gun and picked up the last one at hand. "Junlang, will someone attack tonight?"

"Sister Haina's scouts looked at the beach for four days. They didn't see a large number of submarines landing in the South until tonight."

Pierce raised his gun and aimed in the direction of Williamsburg.

"The patience of those mice is far beyond our imagination, but four days is also their limit."

"Tomorrow is Christmas. After tomorrow, Minister Hamilton can recover at any time. Brother said, they can't wait."

"In other words... They will come before dawn." Xiao Sanmei lined up the last gun in the corner and sat down with her legs in her arms. "Honeymoon, where are you going?"

……

Hudson manor has a history of nearly 150 years.

Like most of the buildings in the early days of colonial trade, people first considered how to resist Aboriginal attacks, and then how to make themselves comfortable.

The manor has walls.

The earliest is the arc-shaped city wall intercepted by two meter high logs. A five meter high octagonal sentry tower is erected every hundred steps. Later, the British changed most of the walls into iron fences, which became beautiful. In addition to the stone gate sentry tower retained as a shape, most of them also lost the value of defense.

The manor has a moat.

The 3-meter-wide ditch is surrounded by the wall. Previously, it only connected to a large lake outside the manor. When the British rebuilt, they dug through the small lake in the manor and opened a water gate at the fence. Boating from the small lake can reach the great lake. It has always been a favorite leisure project of successive governors.

Manor and castle.

The villa is built with solid bricks. It is rectangular as a whole. There are rows of French windows on the wide side. It has three floors and eight rooms on each floor. There are towers on the East and west sides, slightly higher than the roof, and a flat urban defense road is connected in the middle, which is the position of pierce and 30 Musketeers.

The whole villa is brightly lit. Lorraine and Hamilton play chess in the second room on the right of the third floor.

The queen entered three from the right. Lorraine knocked off the rising knight, shook his wrist and put down the chess.

"Alexander, are you nervous?"

"I'm playing an assassinated wretch." Hamilton withdrew his prime minister and threatened the queen. "Moreover, he was betrayed by his coastal defense forces. Isn't I qualified for such a strange experience?"

"But this is a secret society, isn't it?" Lorraine took back the queen. "You advocate elite Association, so you must pay for it."

Hamilton was noncommittal.

Secret societies are the mainstream alliance model in European and American politics, and their priority is even higher than that of political parties.

Hamilton never felt that there was any problem with this trust. After all, compared with the differences and suspicions within the political party, societies with authoritarian style were easier to unify their ideas. Moreover, wars between societies were not common, and wars such as this one were rare.

He shrugged. "Kenvi, how are you sure they're going to kill me?"

"I'm not sure." the answer given by Lorraine surprised Hamilton. "It's not only uncertain before, but even now, I still can't guarantee that their goal is you."

"Unwilling to say?" Hamilton asked.

"I really don't know," Lorraine ordered the soldiers to advance. "I've never had contact with secret societies before. I don't know them, and I don't know if they know me."

"But people are different from animals, especially when a group of people cooperate, their behavior must serve a certain purpose."

"The purpose of the Canaanite ceremony is the revolving door plan, and the 100 business association is regarded as the target by them. Then in order to get the dominance of the revolving door, they can do very limited things."

"Dig a corner from the hundred Merchants Association." Lorraine raised his first finger.

"Kill me and let the association fall apart without a leader." Lorraine raised his second finger.

"Kill you, delay the progress of the revolving door plan, or arrange their people to take over your responsibilities and seek opportunities for them from the perspective of the referee."

Lorraine squeezed his outstretched finger into a fist and shook it in front of Hamilton.

"I haven't thanked the open and aboveboard United States government. You have well protected the shareholders of Philadelphia ceremony. There are more than 40 chambers of commerce with uncertain investment. Even if you get your capital intention, I still don't know which ones are your money bags."

Hamilton looked embarrassed: "er... Kenvey..."

"Don't get me wrong." Lorraine waved his hand. "The revolving door is very important to America. My allies and I understand that being a willing target is also one of our ways to express our sincerity. What's more, only we are qualified."

Lorraine swept away the pieces on the chessboard, picked up one and put it in the black box.

"Target. For the purpose of Canaanite rites, I just need to put all their targets, me, you and my allies in the same place, and they will come."

"I can also set a time for them. If the Christmas dinner is cancelled and postponed, their action time must be before Christmas, because from December 26, you may recover at any time and return to the social circle at any time."

"But you still let your allies swagger through New York," Hamilton pointed out the confusion in operation Lorraine.

"It's faint, or hidden or present," Lorraine added. "Old dukov, they can't really put themselves into the Shura field. This trap doesn't have the ability to protect more than a dozen bait at the same time."

"In that case, they simply appear in New York and the island at the same time. They smell their voices and don't see anyone. Canaanite rites will guess their location. The more they guess, the more conspicuous our bright prey will be. The more they guess, the sweeter our bait will taste."

"Can they resist temptation? Even if they can, they are willing to tie their hands..."

Boom!

The gun went off.

Lorraine was stunned for a moment and laughed.

"The fish is biting, Alexander." he stood up. "You rest here for a while. I'll go to your bedroom and see the Canaanite sword... What's sacred."
