0539 No trust at all

New York, the forefront of the New World, the heart of America.

In 1524, Giovanni da Verazano, an Italian who was loyal to France, entered the New York Harbor on the Crown Princess, declared that this place was owned by France, and named it Neuguereme.

However, perhaps France could not detect the wealth of the North American continent at that time, and they did not really organize colonization to the New York area.

Businesses and traveling from all over the country come from south to north, and this place has gradually become one of the important free trade ports in the North American continent.

In 1602, the Netherlands sent Henry Hudson to North America to find wealth.

Hudson arrived in New York Bay in 1609 and headed north along the river, and then returned to the Netherlands with North American natives and furs the following year.

The generous rewards made many Dutch merchants highly interested in this land with rich resources. They began to settle in New York and called her the "New Netherlands".

In 1624, the Dutch established a fur trade site on Gavners Island.

In 1625, Amster began construction on Manhattan Island.

In 1626, Peter Minuet, the Dutch colonial governor, bought the entire Manhattan Island from the local native Lenape people at a price lower than cabbage, and established a trading post in Amster.

Soon after, 300 Dutch people formally established towns in Manhattan and named "New Amsterdam".

It was the most powerful era of the Dutch. The unique new Amsterdam attracted the attention of the world as soon as it was born and flourished at an astonishing speed.

This was not until 1664, when the British fleet was at the city during the British-Dutch War, that Peter Stevisant, the governor of New Netherlands, knew that he was unable to fight and voluntarily surrendered and surrendered to New Amsterdam.

King Charles II of England handed over the place to his younger brother's jurisdiction, and Prince York moved his territory from Yorkshire in England to New Amsterdam and changed the place name to "New York".

New York, which was under the British rule, became increasingly prosperous and soon became the second largest city in North America except Philadelphia.

The War of Independence broke out and New York was independent.

In order to compete for ownership of this treasure land, in August 1776, Britain and the United States fought a huge Long Island Battle in Long Island and Brooklyn. The total number of more than 52,000 soldiers from the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany were fighting desperately on this land. In the end, the United States lost a lot, not only lost New York, but also almost destroyed the Continental Army.

Britain thus became the master of New York again.

During the Second Occupation, the largest fire in history occurred in New York, and Britain and the United States also met on Staten Island, the only time trying to resolve the dispute over the War of Independence in a peaceful way.

The British evacuation from Japan in 1783 means that the British armed forces completely abandoned the land of America.

In 1785, the US Congress officially appointed New York as the temporary capital, and Washington was sworn in at the Federal Office, and the United States had its own first president.

This is New York, the past, present, and future, she is the eternal focus of America, and her unshakable heart.

On the last day of May, in the afternoon, the mainmast was vacant, and the Valkyrie, with the foremast flag, slowly sailed into the wide harbor at the mouth of the Hudson River.

The majestic ship posture as mountain as the St. George's flag at the rear mast tip shone brightly in the sun, causing riots at New York Harbor. Although the riots were finally calmed down before the invasion alarm sounded, General Smith, who was accompanying the ship, felt completely embarrassed.

He naturally blamed all this on Lorraine. As soon as the boat landed, he immediately came up to sue.

"President Drake, sincerity! If you really want to establish a friendly and trustworthy relationship with the United States, it is best not to do these misunderstood small moves!"

Lorraine looked at the sheriff who was carrying live ammunition under the ship with innocent face: "What are the small moves you mean?"

"Of course it's St. George's flag!"

Lorraine suddenly realized: "It turns out that you regard Valkyrie as the Royal Navy..."

"This is human nature!"

"No, this is called professional and unskilled." Lorraine whispered, "The Rice Flag is a unique symbol of British naval ships. The Royal Navy is not allowed to hang the Kingdom flag, and private merchant ships are not allowed to represent the United Kingdom. The Port Authority should judge that Valkyrie is a pure merchant ship as soon as he saw the St. George's flag."

"And have the United States and Britain interrupted trade? Or have we started a new war? Did Valkyrie show hostility? None of them, how did the Port Authority judge the threat?"

"Of course it's because your Valkyrie looks too much like a battleship!"

"Ahh? Do I still need to apologize for Valkyri's look?"

"No need! The US Navy will definitely develop. In just two years, we will make a sound in the world order!"

"I didn't expect you to be a positive and optimistic gentleman..."

"Control your subordinates, President Drake." General Smith glared at Lorraine heavily, "I will immediately go to the Federal Office to report. I don't want to hear you make unfriendly actions before Mr. President boards the ship tomorrow!"

"YES, SIR." Lorraine yawned and gave an inappropriate military salute. "Before leaving the port, my people will be imprisoned on the ship. We are legal and good businessmen, and even if we are blackmailed by the sheriff, we will never resist."

...

Immediately, night.

The luxurious carriage drove into the Hudson River Wharf like lightning and stopped in front of the plank road at Berth No. 1.

There were three people getting out of the car, two men, one woman, and the man was Chuck and Leonard, the president and vice president of Drake America Branch. The woman... was Henna.

The sheriff Wise, who was ordered to hide in the dark, monitor Valkyrie, immediately came up to interrogate.

The night at the pier was dark, and it was only when Inspector Wise could see Chuck's familiar and angry face clearly.

A slap in his heart immediately sounded.

Chuck Parker is a real big man in New York, with a powerful Drake America Chapter. He not only has a firm relationship with the big men in the Department of Commerce, the Department of Finance and New York State, but also married the jewel of Congressman Mr. Alves, and is a real American son-in-law.

Inspector Wise had the honor of meeting Chuck at a private party of the Director of Security. His aura and charm were eclipsed even if a big man like the Director was around him.

But now, the big man actually came to the dock with anger, and his goal was very clear, the giant English ship that was repeatedly asked Inspector Wise to monitor closely.

Whose ship is here?

Inspector Wise had no way forward and retreat, so he could only come up nervously, stop him in front of Chuck, and nervously show the police badge hidden under the windbreaker.

"That...President Parker?"

"Inspector's surname?"

"Will...Wish, Bernit Wise!"

"Inspector Wise..." Chuck stroked his collar, "Did I break the law?"

"No……"

"So has the Drake Chamber of Commerce violated the law?"

“No…”

"So was it my chairman, my boss, Mr. Lorraine Drake and his Valkyrie who violated the law during their entry into the port?"

It turned out that ship was the ship of the boss of the Drake Chamber of Commerce...

Inspector Wise almost cried, but at this time he could only harden his head: "The ship of the chamber of commerce is suspected..."

"Who conveyed the surveillance order to you!" Chuck didn't have the answer at all, and his aura erupted.

"This...sorry..."

"Your title is not qualified enough to apologize to me." His chin looked at Inspector Wise coldly, "Please continue to carry out your mission and bring me a message to your Director when you report tomorrow. My lawyer team will talk to him about the next thing and discuss it in the parade court..."
