Two Hundred and Fifty-Eight Chapters of Youth as Companions to Return Home

Very upset.
Very upset!
Since the establishment of the business group in Elgin, Lorraine has not felt the taste of being taught a lesson for a long time, no matter whether he has money or not, success or twists and turns.
Condescending and domineering!
After experiencing the conspiracy in New Orleans and the star-studded Halloween operation, until the official start of smuggling, and the mutual offense and defense with the thunderous American founding fathers in later generations, Lorraine almost thought that he had touched the highest wall in the world.
But Shaq's words knocked him back to reality mercilessly.
It's still early...
In the era when the First World War is still out of reach, nobles... or as Shaq said [real nobles] are the masters of this world.
Compared with them, Nelson is just the son of a priest who can fight, Collingwood is just an inconspicuous follower, Rasheed is the heir of a dilapidated nobleman, and Galvez... is just a nouveau riche who relied on his nepotism to make his fortune.
The so-called founding fathers of the United States, these apostles who laid the foundation of future power and are regarded as angels or demons, are still a group of rich, restless, non-mainstream hillbillies, except for Benjamin Franklin. Really got on the stage of the rich and powerful.
And Lorraine, who has been in the above-mentioned circles, is at best a young businessman in the limelight, who will not represent more, and cannot represent more.
[In the face of real authority, the pound will not become a portrait cast on gold coins, nor will it bring more power...]
High self-esteem... huh?
whispering sound!
On the morning of July 8, Harrington Bay private pier.
Changing back into military uniforms, Lorraine and Henna stood beside the Weilan Water Drop to accept Olves' farewell alone.
The atmosphere is slightly depressing.
Lorraine pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Be happy, the matter is finally resolved satisfactorily, and old Leonard has not suffered any harm. Let him rest in Bermuda for a while, as for the information..."
"We step up verification!"
"Keep secret,
Strive to be accurate. "
"yes!"
The farewell between sailors is always straightforward. By the moment the sun rises, the Azure Water Drop has completed all preparations for sailing.
"That's it, Haina and I are going back first. The matter in New Orleans is related to the subsequent development of the chamber of commerce, even if we take some risks, we cannot allow it to abort. Everyone, more..."
"Captain! Boat!!! Long!!!!"
The last farewell speech was not over yet, a carriage rushed from the end of the road at lightning speed, and old Leonard, who was still weak, jumped off the carriage and rushed to Lorraine with a small suitcase .
"Captain, a small gift from Director Raymond!" He stuffed the suitcase into Lorraine's hands, "Yesterday you made a big fuss at the Royal Navy Yard, and Captain Amani kept silent in front of you, even Admiral Drake was polite to you You Jia. Director Lei Meng saw your strength from it, collected all these gifts overnight, and rushed them to me half an hour ago."
Lorraine raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Have you verified it?"
"There is only time to verify the entry, and the specific content can only be verified by you and Ms. Yesla on the ship."...
...
Two days later, New Orleans.
The Jackdaw had already made all preparations for sailing, and Bell, Emmons, and the four guards were secretly sent to the empty dock warehouse.
Everything is ready, the only thing missing now is Lorraine who returned early in the morning to announce the final review results.
All the sailors gathered together.
Lorraine laid out two thick packs of love newspapers in front of him: "Although the process was a bit tortuous, fortunately, we have achieved all our goals in Bermuda."
He pushed Bell's intelligence forward a little with his fingers.
"This is the information collected by Bell. It includes the rotation and patrol schedule of the first formation of the Continental Squadron in July, August, and September, the scope of responsibility, the formation command at all levels, and the basic information of the patrol commander for the month."
"Very important information." Lorraine took a breath, "If everything is true, the coast defense line of the Continental Squadron will have no secrets in front of us. Combining our familiarity with Shaq's tactics and the speed of the Jackdaw, smuggling will become a reality." Be unimpeded."
He launched the second intelligence.
"This is the second piece of information I bought from Bermuda, from the chief of the base of the squadron."
"How should I put it... As an action guide, this information is not qualified, and the summary of the content is a mess. Even if it is leaked out, those who need it will only see it at a loss."
"But we still have Bell's intelligence. As evidence, the chief secretary's intelligence is perfect."
"Now the specific comparison and verification have been completed. The comparison persons include me, Henna, Katerina, Karen, Carmen, and Yacharin. The conclusions are the same, and Bell is not guilty."
"Gentlemen and ladies, congratulations on getting through a crisis of confidence."
With a flat tone, one after another the delegates gasped in relief, and everyone applauded sparsely, Yacharin suddenly asked: "Captain, we have locked up that Emmons for so many days, so the future information..."
"Well……"
More than half an hour later, Lorraine opened a certain door of the warehouse with his own hands, and Bell sat on the bed inside lazily, leaning against the bed lazily, with a relaxed expression.
"Yo, Captain, my suspicions have been cleared?"
Lorraine leaned against the door frame and shook the key chain in her hand.
"It is basically impossible for you to contact important officers of the Continental Squadron without permission. But...it has been confirmed that you have no intention of harming the team, so the suspicion itself is no longer important."
"Standard Lorraine-style trial." Bell whistled and posted, "Hey, Lorraine, my personal relationship won't affect the dividend, right?"
Lorraine couldn't help but laugh: "No."
"Will there be corresponding compensation for the unfair treatment during this period?"
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"It's a pity..." Bell stretched his waist, "For the sake of money, I decided to forgive your distrust. But since my relationship has been exposed, the intelligence fee of three hundred pounds every three months will be worthless." It's up to you."
The corner of Lorraine's mouth twitched: "Isn't it two hundred pounds?"
"I was locked up for a few days, and Emmons was locked up for a few days. But he is a desperate man for money, and the best way to heal his psychological trauma is to add money. This is the price of caution, and you have to bear it." .”
"All right……"
The so-called happy everyone, probably...
Emmons was released, the intelligence fee was settled, and Bell and Lorraine returned to the Jackdaw together, as if nothing had happened.
The world of adults is always good at clearing up some embarrassing pasts, grasping the important points and letting go of the details. The more closed the environment, the more this is the case. This stems from people's subconscious protection of their own interpersonal circle.
In short, the Jackdaw is about to set sail.
The rotating captain of this round is Keren, Bell is still in charge of piloting, Katerina is in charge of the front deck as first officer, Henna is at the helm, and Wang is also sailing. Lorraine was in charge of assessing Karen, and to put it bluntly, he was doing nothing.
The navigator had nothing to do before the ship circled Florida, and the two idlers gathered on the busy back deck, leaning on the railing and holding wine glasses.
"Bell, I finally understand why you are so obsessed with the family title."
"Understood?" Bell gave Lorraine a surprise look, "I thought that a lucky kid who enjoys the glory of the family and doesn't have the slightest inheritance pressure won't understand in this life."
"Understood..."
Lorraine drank the clean wine in a sluggish mood, and threw the glass into the sea casually, watching the splashes of water appear and disappear.
"Nobility is class. Class is a thing, if you don't step on it, you will never discover it in your life."
"Then what are you going to do?" Bell tilted his head, "Return to the army in the name of enlistment? Then openly change your faith?"
He broke his fingers: "With your current financial resources and reputation, you can take any ship to be recruited, at least a major. If you take the Andes back, it is not too difficult for a colonel. 19-year-old colonels are rare in the Royal Navy. At least Sir Leighton must be delighted."
"It's not difficult to change your faith. I know that the Cardinal of Westminster has always wanted to preside over your baptism. If you worship him as godfather, Shaq Drake will not refuse you to return to the family, even as an illegitimate child." It can be easily erased, anyway, it is also the practice of the aristocratic circle, and no one will say anything more."
"When you have a legal status as a concubine, a high-ranking military position and a noble godfather, you can earn your own title. After all, it is a time of war, and the genius of the Drake family..."
"Did you misunderstand something?" Lorraine interrupted Bell's self-talk with a strange face, "I yearn for a knighthood for higher freedom, am I crazy if I give up freedom for freedom?"
Bell blinked his eyes: "I also want freedom, titles, and money. What are you going to do?"
"Hmm...I didn't think so."
"Think about it?"
"Prepare to think slowly."
"Think slowly?"
"I'm only 19." Lorraine laughed loudly. "Life is still long, and the future is still long. Singing songs during the day requires drinking too much, and returning home with youthful company, why is it so urgent?"
( ̄▽ ̄)=( ̄︿ ̄)!
"Hey! Don't put any spells in the middle, I don't understand!"
