0543 Shadow of America

Four days.

On the Valkyrie, which was only 62.2 meters long and 13.6 meters wide on the small bow and 13.6 meters wide for four days, the American group and the ship group did not have any meaningful communication. The two sides kept invisible social distance, nodded and silent when they met, drew two parallels with no intersection on the coastline of the United States, extending across the meridians of Rhode Island.

The awkward deadlock was not broken until entering Massa Vineyard Island, and during the day when Valkyrie crews were active on the deck, Hamilton led a brown-haired beauty to find Lorraine fishing at the stern.

"Oh oh oh oh oh, I am worthy of being the White Banner Pirate King, and I will always know how to save the boring time on the ship."

"Pass the time?" Lorraine and her white ears lying in Lorraine's arms burst out at the same time.

One person and one cat turned around with the same pity as looking at the landlady, and emphasized one by one.

"In the sacred Massa Vineyard Island, sailing is just a process, and fishing is life!"

"Especially in June, little horse mackerels explore the tide near the sea, with a strong appetite and bite when they see a hook. They can give people endless fun of fishing, and can also satisfy the mouth and abdomen of white ears with their fresh bodies..."

Lorraine was talking, and the thin and soft pole tip sank suddenly. The long fishing line cut out pure white light and shadow in the sun. The feedback of the force fell into Hamilton's eyes, making him almost think that Lorraine had caught a shark.

But... if it was really a shark, Lorraine's response would be too easy.

I saw him holding the fishing rod with one arm, his muscles did not bulge, and the man and the fish were stalemate through a long line. After only a moment of stiffness, Lorraine won.

A silver shuttle-shaped swimming fish was pulled away from the water by the fishing line and jumped high between the sea and the sky. Before she could fall back into the water, Lorraine had already retracted the line and turned the winch to drag the fish onto the deck.

It's probably only the length of a finger...

Hamilton stared straight at the tiny little horse mackerel: "It... shrinks?"

"The horse mackerel will not mature until September. The fish in June are larger than the fry and smaller than the adult fish. This one is considered a strong man among fish."

"A strong man the size of a finger?"

"In the whale world, we are no bigger than this fish."

"It actually involves dialectics..." Hamilton rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Lorraine untied the little horse mackerel from the hook and threw it into the air. Her white ears whistled out and completely stretched out her body in the air...

When I was talking about it, a white light fell from the sky, and it flashed like lightning and chasing the white ears. I heard a croaking sound, and the fish disappeared!

Hamilton looked at the empty white ears and landed on the ground, and followed the cat's amber vertical pupil to find the white light on the sail truss.

McCarthy held the fish in his mouth, raised his head and swallowed it. Jenny flapped her wings and shone her power at her white ears. The shaking fluff swirled in the wind, floating, and gently pressed against Hamilton's eyebrows.

"Meow!!!!"

The war between cats and birds began again, and the scene was very chaotic for a time. In the eyes of the storm on the battlefield, Lorraine packed up the fishing rod and tilted her head to look at the woman behind Hamilton.

"Miss I've never met...your lover, mistress, or wife?"

"Sadly, neither is it." Hamilton introduced, "Miss Izeya Solomon, a highly educated lady, is one of the most trusted financial advisors of Mr. President and is also recognized as the most beautiful single nobleman in the Federal Office."

"A financial advisor named Solomon?"

Lorraine suddenly became interested and looked at the beauty beside Hamilton for the first time seriously.

Long brown hair, deep facial features and tall figure.

Her body is taller than Henna, and her slightly wider shoulders support the women's swallowtail. She paired with a rich support skirt and light calfskin boots, showing an unforgettable and capable temperament.

Perhaps because her temperament is too ostentatious, she always has a bit of a bitter taste around her, and she feels unattainable and should not be approached by strangers, so that she is obviously a beautiful face, but it always makes people unable to leave an impression. Even if she stares at her, her eyes will become hazy as soon as she floats.

"Is it the daughter of the Solomon family?" Lorraine looked away and asked.

Hamilton smiled so squeamishly: "Aha, in front of beautiful ladies, normal unmarried men should care more about other things, right?"

"It's not as beautiful as Carmen, nor Henna seduces people. Miss Solomon is the most outstanding woman I have ever seen in my life." Lorraine didn't even want to say polite words, "So, is it the Solomon family?"

"Yes, my father is Heim. Solomon." Miss Solomon replied with a smile.

Heim Solomon, one of the countless legends in the founding of the United States, was respectfully called "the shadow of America" ​​by those who know him for his great contribution and unknown low-keyness.

The gentleman was born in Poland and is a descendant of Jewish refugees from Portugal.

When he was young, he traveled all over Europe and reached India as far as he could. During his travels, he taught himself management and finance, mastered eight languages, and established a business empire that was no less than the current Drake Chamber of Commerce.

In 1775, he immigrated to New York and soon joined the "Son of Freedom" and became an important cadre in the War of Independence. He was arrested twice and sentenced to death in 1778 for serving his sentence to rebel against Hessian mercenaries.

With his clever tongue, he easily escaped from the execution ground, and since then he moved to Philadelphia, and his family has joined the revolution.

During the long revolution, he was active as the most reliable wallet of the Continental Army for a long time. His main achievements included assisting Adams in obtaining a Dutch loan during his mission, selling all his industries in Europe and Asia, changing from the Rothschild family of France's Jewish chaebol to a huge sum of 3.5 million pounds, and investing all into the revolution, etc.

His most legendary experience occurred in 1781, on the eve of the decisive battle of the War of Independence.

At that time, the mainland army led by Washington surrounded the York town guards of the Marquis of Cornwallis, but to launch a battle, it would require at least 20,000 pounds of war.

At that time, the Continental Army's credit was already on the verge of bankruptcy, so that the then financial director Mr. Robert Morris could only tell Washington by writing a letter that [no funds, no loans].

After receiving the letter, Washington turned left and broke into Morris' tent and said [Tell Heim Solomon].

The 20,000 pounds of war funds arrived as scheduled. There are rumors that in order to raise enough money in the shortest time, Heim Solomon sold a large number of mainland army bonds at a low price, which directly led to his financial situation in trouble.

After that, the War of Independence was won and Heim Solomon disappeared.

The last news about him came from last year. On January 6, 1785, Heim, who was heavily in debt, died at home because he had no money to seek medical treatment. He was only 45 years old, and a generation of business legend ended.

When he received this news, Lorraine and Carmen felt sorry for their regrets, but now seeing the extremely temperamental daughter, Lorraine began to doubt the truth of the rumors...

He cleared his throat and asked carefully: "Your father..."

Miss Solomon was probably used to dealing with such problems. Even though Lorraine wanted to speak, she still accurately grasped the core of the problem.

"Some of the rumors are true," she said. "Last year, my father passed away due to illness. Although the family was in debt, it was not impossible to pay his medical expenses."

"Uh... Sadness."

"He just returned to God's arms." Miss Solomon smiled, "Mr. Drake, my father opened a shipyard and a wood processing plant in Boston during his lifetime. It was entirely up to the care of the Maritime Group of the Guizhou Chamber of Commerce that allowed us to maintain a decent life. Please allow me to express my gratitude to the long-term Party A, thank you very much."

"Ah... Unexpectedly, the Solomon family turned to the shipbuilding industry..." Lorraine scratched her nose awkwardly, "Since the lady is an insider, you appeared with Alexander today, I probably guessed what you are going to do. Are Mr. President ready?"

"Just as you think." Hamilton put away his giggling expression, "Tonight, Mr. President wants to borrow your war room."

"The only issue is the Navy Revitalization Plan?"

"The revolving door is no longer necessary to discuss, your memorandum brings confidence to Congress and the President."

"Is this a political feature of America full of confidence but no feedback?"

"Because you need to issue dollars first." Hamilton said bluntly, "issuing dollars requires support from the states. The President is about to do this until all obstacles are cleared, and you important chaebols outside the political ecology will not receive specific notices."

“Because we are born supporters?”

"Because you are born supporters." Hamilton patted Lorraine's arm. "This time I came, first, by the entrusted by the President, to introduce Miss Solomon to you, and second, to inform you of the President's invitation."

"The President said that the future of America needs a strong navy. He and everyone in the Navy want to hear the opinions of the maritime group, which is the most cutting-edge marine technology at present, and in your hearts, what kind of navy is suitable for the present America..."
