0549 Dates are so sweet
"It's actually... unfinished?"
The defense meeting was over. Although he had already left with people, Lorraine still felt extremely unreal and illusory.
The Americans wanted to form a navy.
A combat-capable fleet has extremely high political and defense value to the current American government.
They are not supported internationally, otherwise the joke-like gift ship would not have to be built in England, nor would it be so shabby that the first draft design has not been completed yet.
If they want the navy, they can only rely on the excellent ship groups of the New World.
Even if the maritime group is not the only choice, it is the one with the best solution among all choices.
Comprehensive the above five points...
George Washington, what is this guy doing?
Lorraine was angry.
The group walked back to the temporary conference room where they set out. As soon as they entered the door, he threw his wig onto the sofa.
This situation is very rare for Lorraine. After all, the captain is the soul of a ship. As a professional sailor, he always remembers to convey the positive and confident emotions of sunshine to the crew below.
But this time, Shaq's unclearity, the combination of American hiding and Washington's so-called ignorance finally broke through his patience limit, and the negative anger was completely vented with the fall, like a flash flood.
It happened suddenly!
Fortunately, Carmen has been partnering with Cron and Lorraine for ten years.
Although I was startled by his outburst, I felt that Lorraine's angry target was not in the cabin at all.
After finding Nezuo and looking at his actions, he would feel more novel than worrying.
Unfortunately, it was not only the old guys from the Lorraine team who participated in the defense today.
Little Favna shrank into a ball pitifully.
She was already timid and almost unconfident. She didn't have any daily understanding of Lorraine. If she thought about it carefully, it was the first time she even got angry when she saw Lorraine...
People who lack self-confidence often have embarrassing extreme self-confidence in many aspects. For example, as long as someone is dissatisfied, they will subconsciously feel that they must be the ones who are wrong...
"President...yes...sorry..."
Lorraine, who had just wanted to curse, was instantly interrupted to cast the spell. She turned around with a blank look and found the little girl who was almost integrated with the shadow by the door: "?"
Fafna held tears in her eyes and pinched the hem of the dress: "I...it was my own words that made the business mess...I...I am ashamed of the president's expectations...If..."
"Somewhat self-righteous, Han Ji."
The person who spoke was Carmen. She gently placed her hand on Fafna's head and gently stroked it in the direction of growth. Her voice was as gentle as the warm sun in spring.
She smiled and said to Favna, "This matter has nothing to do with you, the captain is not you. To be honest, you performed well tonight, and it would be even better if you could get out of the screen."
"Manager Xavier, is it really...really?"
"I won't praise people against my heart. Since you say you performed well, you will perform well."
The guilt in Fafna finally dissolved a little, but it was just a little bit.
She raised her head gratefully: "But, Manager Xavier, has the business really been messed up? If it were you and Mr. President..."
"Although I don't want to say that, even if I and the captain are responsible for the defense, I guess the results will not be different. At most, out of politeness, Americans will not interrupt the situation in the middle."
"Why?"
"This is what we need to investigate next." Carmen patted Favna's forehead gently, "Okay, thank you for your hard work today, go and rest early, don't forget that we are still on the way."
Carmen smiled and charmingly, Fafna lowered her head shyly, and there was no doubt in her mind: "It's...I...I've sued."
Fafna left, only Fafna left.
When she walked out of the cabin and closed the door, Cron had already poured three cups of rum at the small bar, one cup was pushed to Lorraine, and one cup was left in place, waiting for Carmen to pick it up.
The three of them started drinking so quietly.
After a while, Lorraine looked at Carmen with a strange look: "Carmen, do you think the next conversation is not suitable for Han Ji to participate?"
"It's not that it's not suitable to participate... Why does the Captain think so?"
"You wouldn't comfort Han Ji at all. Even for Katerina's sake, you would only tell her that the defense result was not the fault, right?"
"I would comfort myself."
"Um?"
"Because it is difficult for girls with inferiority complex to convince, coaxing away is the most energy-saving method." Carmen said for granted, "There is also the question of whether the next conversation is suitable for her participation. It is not that she is not suitable for her, but because coaxing away is more convenient."
"Ahha..." Lorraine was so impressed that she was overwhelmed with admiration that she dissipated a lot without even realizing the depression she had before.
He quickly packed up and stood up to give the three people a second cup: "Kron, do you think America has the intention to purchase warships?"
"It seems to be serious." Cron shook the ice in the cup. "Maybe the Admiralty has other ideas on supplier issues. You see, we are not the American Chamber of Commerce after all."
"Political consideration?"
Lorraine felt that Cron's explanation made sense to some extent, because the Navy's revitalization plan was a defense order. Whether in terms of human nature or security, the United States would definitely prefer its own chamber of commerce.
But just like Lorraine earlier analyzed the revolving door plan for Hamilton, does American businesses really have the ability to undertake this project independently?
Rather than saying that the U.S. Admiralty wanted to hand over its warship orders to its own shipyards, Lorraine was more inclined to give the orders to the French for political reasons.
But this conflicts with Washington's behavior again.
If the United States had long decided to separate the Drake Chamber of Commerce from the Navy's revitalization plan, many of his actions and words would be redundant, such as this erratic defense meeting would have no need to organize.
Thinking of this, Lorraine frowned and shook her head.
"It shouldn't be a political consideration, or all the speculation that excludes us from the list of suppliers conflicts with what they are doing now, and this is where I can't figure it out."
Cron scratched his head: "By the way, they made an appointment with your brother to meet on the high seas? And they were worried that he would tear the peace. From this point of view, would he plan to hang us with an order and let us be the boatman of Washington with peace of mind?"
"Definitely not." Carmon rubbed the edge of the cup, looking absent-minded. "We cannot refuse General Washington's request, regardless of whether there is this order or not."
“Because of the American Chapter?”
"Because of the revolving door plan." Lorraine Interface answered Kron's question, "No matter how large the order for the Navy's revitalization plan is, with the current financial situation of the United States, the profits it can bring to the Chamber of Commerce every year are limited, which is a question of how much you make. The revolving door plan will cause qualitative changes in the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and we will gain the right to influence American politics. In the long run, we may also influence the pattern of America and even the world through the United States. This is something that cannot be lost."
"That would be completely impossible to explain what the United States is doing tonight." Kron spread his hands, "Maybe as Han Ji said, those petty minds lost their composure and were so angry by her words..."
"I think..." Carmen hesitated for a moment, "What do you think? I doubt General Washington is still worried about our position."
Lorraine was stunned for a moment: "Hold the bait up, just in case we give up on him when things change?"
"This is the only explanation. Although it is a little bit villain, it does conform to the politician's behavior. It trusts interests more than promises," said Carmen.
"It's a bit disgusting if that is really..."
"He will make it up." Carmen picked up the wine glass and printed a tempting lip print on the edge of the glass. "If the incident tonight was really a little trick of design, America must have secretly passed the bill to use the Maritime Group as the only supplier of the Navy."
"Politicians are good at slapping sweet dates. Now that we have slapping them, we should be able to see the dates soon."
Before she finished speaking, the door knocked out of the cabin immediately. It was Adrey.
"Captain, Miss Solomon, is here and says he hopes that we will select a temporary presidential entourage to assist the generals of the Admiral to study the fleet composition plan we plan."
Lorraine couldn't help rolling her eyes: "This date is so sweet..."
He snatched the wine from the glass in one sip, and his eyes jumped back and forth between Carmen and Cron.
Carmen raised his hands mischievously: "I don't like the Americans nowadays very much, well...especially those greasy generals."
This sentence means that the result of the choice has come out.
Chapter completed!
