0313 Money has to be spent

At the end of February, Luci.

The sunshine in early spring shines on Lorraine's big bed, awakening Lorraine from her deep sleep.

He climbed out of bed, covered his eyes, and gently pulled up the nearly transparent window screen.

"It seems like another boring morning..." he said.

It has been more than half a month since the end of the Battle of Bimini. The huge trophy fleet entered Kingston, shocking the chins of countless people.

No one expected that this pirate war with revenge would benefit so much.

15 boats...

Even if the cost is relatively low, it can only be used for Skuna and sloops offshore, and the fleet also has a five-class Galen, a five-class Bag, a powerful Brig and four widely used Brignets.

In addition, there are dozens of expensive commodities carefully selected by the Pirate King, and the value of the commodities alone is more than 15,000 pounds.

Chuck was probably the most surprised of everyone, because he was asked to preside over the handover with the pirates of the New World Fleet and help Lorraine hand over the smuggled arms worth tens of thousands of pounds to the Navy.

This made him particularly want to figure out how much Lorraine made in this naval battle that lasted for a month and a half...

Too crazy, too crazy!

After watching dozens of pirates being hanged collectively, he made a special trip to Luci, trying to solve the problem from Lorraine.

As a result, he only saw Carmen who had returned from New Orleans at some time.

Carmen's mission is to discuss with the branch on behalf of Lorraine about profit distribution and capacity adjustment.

First of all, the pirates' hanging red totaled 11,300 pounds... This is the price after Sir Parker's special approval for arms, and it is unified under the name of the General Chamber of Commerce;

Secondly, profitable goods with an estimated value of 14,000-16,000 pounds are included in the sales of the General Chamber of Commerce and only withdraw 10,000 pounds, and the remaining goods can be included in the branch's profits.

Third, the war fleet is readjusted.

The God of Eros and the newly acquired Black Goat were officially included in the direct fleet of the General Chamber of Commerce. The original war fleet was cancelled, Orves returned to the branch, and Leonard continued to second.

The third marshal of the direct fleet is the Three-eyed Crow. Her hull structure was greatly damaged due to this rough modification. It was overhauled for at least two months after returning to the factory for overhaul and a half-month sea trial will be carried out again.

The Cyclops came back with Carmen, and Lorraine still had a choice in responding to the issue quickly.

In this way, Lorraine officially formed a stable command lineup.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce has six direct fleet ships, the flagship is the specially modified Gayron destroyer Golden Deer, the marshals include the Gayron destroyer Eros, the Brig ship Black Goat, the Bermuda Brigentine Cyclops and the Three-Eyed Crow (currently missing), and the communication ship is the Bermuda large sloop clutch Crown Dewdrop.

In terms of personnel, the direct fleet admiral Lorraine, deputy admiral and captain Leonard, captain Acharin, captain Black Goat Dylan, captain Cyclops Hill, and the absent Three-Eyed Crow have activated the newcomer, and the long-term sailor Thalis, recommended by Orves, serves as the captain.

Wang Ye served in the original war fleet, but he went to Boston and brought back a group of ignorant and useless fellow villagers, unable to even do normal communication.

Lorraine once ordered that before the end of the war, the sailors of the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to know the relationship between the Kenway Merchant and the Drake Chamber of Commerce, so in order to train the fellow villagers, Wang could only stay in New Orleans.

With the determination of the direct fleet of the General Chamber of Commerce, other spoiler ships have also been distributed.

Considering that Cotton Jack VII completely disappeared after Bimini's fall, and even Turtle Island and the Sea Brotherhood were not clear about his whereabouts, Carmen proposed to further strengthen the strength of the offshore fleet.

Two Brigentinas were transferred to the Caribbean Ocean Fleet, Holy Anne and a Brigentina were sent to Orves, and together with those sloop or briggish merchant ships became the new class of the Caribbean offshore fleet.

The size of the offshore fleet has more than doubled.

The remaining Brigentine and the only Bagh ship were sent to Ramos in Northwest Europe, not only because Carmen could not make the Chamber of Commerce members feel that Lorraine prefers the Caribbean score, but also because in the eyes of old friends, the poor transportation capacity of Northwest Europe and Northwest really needs to be greatly strengthened.

The distribution plan was finalized, and Chuck was driven back to Kingston before he even saw Lorraine. His doubts were not answered in the end, but seemed to have been given a vague answer.

And what was Lorraine doing at that time?

He is sick.

After Jack Cotton disappeared, the pirate war suddenly changed from the original plan to a protracted war that would end in time.

Lorraine's body began to protest, and in her impression, it seemed that this was the first time he had a fever since he fell into the water when he was young.

It's burned in the evening, good morning, and good afternoon...

The illness comes like a mountain falling.

Lorraine spent a whole week in a daze. Even Daniel's superb medical skills could not be cured quickly. She could only leave it to fate and leave it to his strong body to bear it.

The continuous recurrent fever made his body weaker, and even Pierce came back to make a special trip for him to adjust his diet. The manpower with the markings was suddenly drawn to an extremely dangerous level.

Fortunately, a week later, Lorraine's illness cured without warning, but was weak and only weak.

He was ordered not to go to sea, to hold a knife, to look at the charts, to receive secret reports.

The task of daily is to eat, sleep and wake up. After taking a bath every night, he has to receive a special massage from Noya. He can't even tell whether such a life is painful or enjoyable.

The only thing he can be sure of is boredom...

"Every day is so boring, when can I handle the work?" he lamented.

"Cotton Jack, Bonnet, Marine Brotherhood, Dao Band and Smuggling, the General Chamber of Commerce has accumulated more and more wealth that has not been used... There are obviously so many things to be busy with, but I can only lie down..."

He paced back and forth in the room, suddenly glanced at his desk.

A striking red velvet flying knife poked on the huge table. It was the gift Henna gave him when he secretly flipped the bill the day before yesterday. It is still the same, exposing the bill, and it is very clear.

I remember that I glanced at that time and found that the balance of the General Chamber of Commerce had exceeded 200,000 pounds...

"The money is piled up in the warehouse and it won't make money!"

He stopped suddenly: "Offi!Offi!"

The lively housekeeper flew in like a butterfly: "Evil Master, are you awake? Do you want to eat something?"

"I'm having eight meals a day now!" Lorraine kicked Orphee fiercely, "Secretly help me convey three things."

"thing?"

"She knows the use of that money for Carmen to withdraw fifty thousand pounds."

Orphe took out his small notebook and wrote it down: "I understand."

"Let Leonard take another 20,000 pounds."

"Vice President?" Orphee tilted his head and poked his eyes out from behind the notebook, "No specific instructions?"

Lorraine thought for a while: "Let Leonard buy the manor next door and the private beach, expand our dock with high standards, and at least the size of it should accommodate the entire direct fleet."

"yes!"

"Third, St. George's Island, which is in Bermuda, the letters have brought Chuck into contact with local squire and estate owners, especially in the area of ​​Castle."

"It is the earliest area for development in Bermuda, close to the Bermuda Shipbuilding Center and the garrison control area of ​​the mainland squadron. In terms of development, it is far less than that of the main island of Bermuda and the Western island chain."

"Pirates are difficult." Lorraine scratched her head, "As the pirate war intensified, our enemies in the Caribbean will only increase. Bermuda is more suitable to be a distribution terminal for our cargo in and out of the New World, while Kingston is only suitable for the general administration."

"For this, I have prepared a hundred thousand pounds to serve as the representative of the General Assembly, and strive to take down as much land as possible within the year, preferably the entire island, and build high-quality cargo holds and commercial ports."

"The plantations on the island aim to be self-sufficiency on the island. Don't be as petty as a land duck. The output of mere land cannot bring us more."

"Hundreds of thousands of pounds?!" Orphe looked demented.

Lorraine blew: "Didn't Chuck always be curious about how much I snatched from cotton Jack? Now he knows."

Miss Orphe, who doesn't love money, was knocked out by a gold pound for the first time. She wrote down key points in a daze and prepared to go back and draft them into a document.

"Master, can I give you a signature and seal today?"

"You have to come secretly." Lorraine looked at the red velvet flying knife on the desk again with guilt, "By the way, where did Henna go today?"

"Ms. Jesla..." Orphee frowned and thought for a long time, "Col. Nelson is here, and Ms. Jesla and Ms. Xavier are entertaining him. Don't worry, you will be driven away soon."

"Oh...well!?"
