Chapter 702

Spaniards have little knowledge. They are always obsessed with short-term profits and can't see the long-term future.

This is probably one of the ancestors of world-class regional black.

Lorraine didn't think Carmen would like this sentence, but it didn't matter. He just borrowed a Spanish [goodbye] to send guests, and used it to convey a small and insignificant message to Hamilton, the U.S. government and the Philadelphia gift.

The associated press of commerce is not the Philadelphia gift money bag with lofty heart, nor the small businessmen who are qualified to take anything from America.

They are chaebols and one of the business associations with the weakest political background and the strongest economic strength in the world. They can't be perfunctory in the empty long-term future. If you want to cooperate, please show practical sincerity.

This is a real blackmail.

Because the sea eats people.

In the sailing age, things such as shipwrecks, dead people, lost navigation and hitting rocks occurred almost every month and every week in a chamber of commerce with hundreds of merchant ships under the name of Drake chamber of Commerce.

Ships are consumables and people are consumables. All losses incurred during navigation are uniformly classified into one category on the book, which is called logistics loss.

Logistics loss is a comprehensive concept, which will be affected by ship condition, sailor ability, route, weather, international situation, prestige of chamber of Commerce and even the most unpredictable luck.

Therefore, fighting is never superfluous for the chamber of Commerce in this era. The value of achievements is not only in capture, but also in victory itself.

Take Drake chamber of Commerce as an example. In 1785, its logistics consumption rate was 18.8%, which was 5.7% lower than that of Lorraine's allies in the lighting Council and 16% lower than the average value of the 100 business association.

Bai Qi's reputation has played a great role in this issue. Among the 18.8%, the loss caused by piracy is only 7.3%. In addition to him, even the prendet chamber of Commerce, which is the most harmonious with pirates, has reached 12%.

In the battle of waijuster, Lorraine destroyed cotton Jack and hound Henry at a very small cost. Old dukov and the mysterious oriental chamber of Commerce jointly destroyed the Viking Pirate Group.

Even excluding the harvest of the battle itself, the logistics consumption rate of Drake chamber of Commerce decreased by 1.6% in 1786, further decreased by 2.2% in 1787, and finally reached an incredible 15%.

The total annual trade volume of the European, African and American trade branches of Drake chamber of Commerce in 1787 was 1.85 million pounds, 3.8% equivalent to 70300 pounds. Even if this value was not contributed by the two pirate kings of cotton cloth and hound, Lorraine's income far exceeded his payment in that battle.

Similarly, it can be proved that Lorraine's battle on Governor's Island will also be profitable.

The death of Blackbeard will add a bloody aura to the pansy for many years to come. At least in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, which is also dominated by Caribbean Pirates, the white flag will be avoided by the boldest pirates.

On this issue, the Americans do not owe Lorraine or the associated press.

The battle of waijuster is still like an accident caused by greed. On the governor's Island, Hamilton is only a trophy, and the 100 business associated press is the chess player Canaan Li wants to play against.

So

Why did Lorraine blackmail the United States at this juncture?

It's simple, interest.

The revolving door plan symbolizes the economic lifeline of the United States. As long as it is possible, she does not want to lose even 1% of her equity.

But the reality is that the United States is poor. Not only does it not have the ability to control 100%, but even 51% is wishful thinking.

In this case, for the time being, the Philadelphia ceremony with one heart and one mind is the first choice of the United States, the business groups with economic strength and no political background such as the hundred business association and Canaan ceremony are the second choice, the individual tourists and tourists with unclear background are the third choice, and the current powers such as France and Britain are their worst choice.

The equity situation before the war between baishang Associated Press and Canaan ceremony is the most favorable for the United States. The only drawback may be that baishang associated press has so much that it will cause some hidden dangers in the future.

However, the United States is unable to prevent Canaanite from declaring war on the hundred business association, nor can it prevent the association from responding to the war. Worse, the battle directly exposed the penetration and threat of Canaanite rites to Philadelphia rites.

Tongxin and Tongde disappeared. Philadelphia ceremony chose to fight back between itself and the United States. Canaan ceremony was driven out of the game. In the crucial second choice, the hundred business association suddenly had no opponent.

As a result, the United States was forced to become a direct opponent of the baishang associated press.

The United States did not want the associated press to hold a greater stake, so in the face of the gap left by Canaanite ceremony, she shared the biggest cake adventure with the Bank of England, the worst choice.

Hundred business associations certainly have no strength to compete for interests with the Bank of England, but their early advantages are huge, even if only the rest are enough to meet their needs.

In accordance with the resolution of the 27th plenary meeting of the lighting Council, Lorraine offered the United States one of three conditions:

A. The US government went bankrupt under the high debt crisis;

B. The US government handed over its economic lifeline to Britain;

C、2.4%。

The United States finally chose C.

On February 3, 1788, the Department of the navy of the Confederacy of the United States of America announced that [for personal health reasons, Lieutenant General Robert Smith, the former commander of the long island fleet of the United States, resigned from his current post and all his posts, retired from active service and returned to his hometown for rest. His post was taken over by lieutenant general Lingus, the former deputy chief of staff of the Navy, and the order came into force today].

Robert Smith is the main advocate of the "battle of withered roses", a close friend and political ally of democratic flag bearer and governor Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, and a senior beauty student of Philadelphia ceremony.

But the reason for his loss of power in this incident is not any of the above.

For a long time, he has been playing the role of an opponent of the 100 business associated press among the insiders of the revolving door plan. He insisted that baishang associated press is a group of mercenary villains. It is not worth being regarded as a partner. It is only suitable for being used up and lost.

So he was crisp and lost, and was honored to be the first olive branch handed over by the United States to the hundred business association.

Then, on February 13, the 10th day after Mr. Smith retired from the army, Washington sent a high-standard negotiating team to mercury manor.

Benjamin Franklin, leader of the negotiation team, and Alexander Hamilton, deputy leader of the negotiation team, have nine members, all of whom are promising officials with dual identities of the American government and Philly Morrison.

The two sides had a three-day negotiation in the conference hall in the middle of the lake of the manor, which not only reached a series of secret agreements, but also formed a closed formal memorandum, which was signed by Mr. Franklin and count konsaisan, executive director of the hundred business association.

The memorandum stipulates that the 100 business association must fully support the "rose withering operation" of the U.S. Navy, organize no less than 100 hired fleets, and provide anchor ports, supplies, logistics, maintenance and medical treatment for the Crusade fleet.

The United States needs to provide at least one deputy commander, two sub fleet commanders, a deputy chief of general staff and a Chief Logistics Officer in the Crusade fleet.

Varkiri, the general flagship of the fleet directly under the Drake chamber of Commerce, must participate in the war, and Lorraine yanason Drake, the fleet commander directly under the Drake chamber of Commerce, must not participate in the war.

In addition, on the issue of equity pre purchase of the first bank of America, the 9.5% publicly promised by the United States will be realized in three parts.

The chamber of commerce with the largest scale of participation in the war and the chamber of commerce with the largest logistics received 1% of the pre purchase share respectively. The former was captured by the prendet chamber of commerce with 32 ships, and the latter was handed over to Drake without dispute.

50% of the remaining 7.5% will be divided equally among all chambers of Commerce participating in the war according to the war proportion, and the other 50% will be divided equally among the top 20 chambers of commerce according to the war merit evaluation.

These two parts are not limited to the hundred business association, but in terms of war merit evaluation, the hundred business association has the same priority.

Finally, the United States proposed to buy back 1% of the equity at the then market value every year within 20 years after the listing of the first bank, a total of 20%.

This is not for the hundred business associations with the most shares, including the Philadelphia chamber of Commerce and the Bank of England.

After internal consultations, count concesan also expressed his approval on behalf of the association and agreed to write this article into the memorandum.

So the final game is over.

After two months of intense preparation, on April 17, 1788, the American Crusade fleet with a total number of 294 ships vowed to set sail at zag anchor port of the long island fleet. The American rose war, also known as the third war of Association
