The waves gently crash against the beach, crushing the noise of the pier boardwalk, making people peaceful.

Nature is born with the magic of calming the mind, and even Lorraine couldn't help but adjust her breathing to the sound of the crashing waves, and slowly approached the beautiful ensign looking out over the ocean.

Small talk is small talk, and Lorraine does not intend to discuss any details with Rashed, which is not his duty as a mercenary, and his relationship with Nelson does not tolerate offenses of this rank.

Idle talk is not idle talk, and since he has deliberately asked Nelson for permission to talk, he must gain something in the next time to prove that he is worthy of trust and expectation.

Tie your hands and feet, like walking on thin ice.

Relatively equal and relatively unfamiliar interpersonal relationships are difficult to reconcile, and in essence, they are no different from a stomachache double-arrow crush.

It's just that Lorraine would never think so.

After all, treating normal social behavior as a relationship, and making up for important same-sex social partners without authorization secretly harbor feelings for themselves, this kind of mean angle......

Lorraine couldn't help but shudder, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a warm smile again.

He was already standing side by side with Leheed on the seashore.

"The weather is really nice, Mr. Company Commander."

"I'm the only one of us with an umbrella, so from the bottom of my heart, I'd rather it rain now, Mr. President." Lehid looked at the sea and didn't look back.

Lorraine didn't look at him either, sneered and replied softly: "Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." Barbados is not London, and the weather here is easy to guess. ”

"It's not interesting." Lyced pursed his lips and paused for an umbrella, "Straight to the point, okay?" Your height makes me uncomfortable. ”

"Height? I've heard that short people have a better chance of surviving on the battlefield. ”

"Intelligence is the chance to survive, sir." Lehid poked his head angrily, "A stupid man, no matter how tall he is, is nothing more than a striking beast. ”

"It sounds like you like to hide yourself."

"What's wrong? Yes! A mighty person like you probably can't understand the difference between tactics and combat. ”

Lehid took a half-step back and made an exaggerated gentlemanly salute to Lorraine.

"Let's give you an example. In the Battle of Bunker Hill, the fool Gage ordered my Eighth Company to preemptively occupy the Sunhill position, I refused, and led my men around Bunker Hill to move towards Roxbury's throat. ”

"It turns out I was right. Shortly after my disobedience, another fool, Prescott, with a regiment of the Continental Army, occupied Bunker Hill, and if the Eighth Company had remained there, there would probably not have been even scum left. ”

"The Eighth Company, which was freed, became a free force in the Battle of Bunker Hill, and even the command didn't know where I was."

"Later, William. Howe took command of the fool Gage, and when he hit his head down the hill, it was I who took out the Continental Army headquarters at Roxbury's throat and forced the hillbillies to retreat and avoid greater losses. ”

With that, Lehid raised his slender neck and looked up proudly into Lorraine's eyes from the bottom to the top.

Lorraine touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment: "I guessed that your eight companies had a glorious past, but I didn't expect it to be so brilliant." ”

"It's just the basics of tactics, sir, to be alive to kill the enemy."

"But you seem to have forgotten one thing......"

"Huh?"

"The Charleston Peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides, and under the rule of the Royal Navy, it is a living place in all directions. Martinique, not so, Sir Parker's main fleet will not approach the lair of the French, and once you are on the island, the only way for you to leave is us. ”

Ignoring Rashid's slightly open expression, Lorraine made an exaggerated salute in his mimick.

"There is one thing we agree on, and that is to live to kill the enemy, so I will try to persuade my admiral to live well. By the way, do you know what the essence of the Navy is? ”

"What?"

"Moving islands." Lorraine paused, "On the boundless sea, we can go anywhere, and no one can be trapped." ”

Rashid's face was a little ugly: "In my opinion, Lieutenant Colonel Nelson is a competent and brave soldier. ”

"He is, but unfortunately I am not."

The small talk ended neatly, and before both sides could feel embarrassed, Lorraine ended with a bow and crossed her belt back to Nelson.

Such an unfolding seems to have been somewhat unexpected.

"What? That's it? ”

"Small talk, weather, history, and a few words of gossip, we don't know each other, and if we talk about it, I should ask Captain Rashid if he has an unmarried sister."

"That's not good for your relationship."

"Really?" Lorraine raised an eyebrow, "Admiral, are you familiar with the Battle of Bunker Hill?" ”

"Bunker Hill?"

"In June 1775, in the first battle after the gunfire of Lexington, I read my father's report of the battle, and I remember, it was a crushing victory...... Right? ”

Nelson frowned and recalled: "I remember that because the Continental Army seized Bunker Hill ahead of schedule, General Gage was removed from the front of the battle, and the replacement of Viscount Howe paid a terrible price. More than 1,000 were wounded, and more than 200 were killed in battle......"

"By the way, the main force of that battle was the 52nd Infantry Corps, the first company of grenadiers was almost completely wiped out, and Captain Leheid's eighth company made miraculous achievements, but for some reason, there was no praise."

Nelson seemed to recall the contents of the military newspaper completely, and the more he spoke, the more fluent he became.

"The 52nd Infantry Regiment was originally the most elite regiment in Boston, and it also had a reputation for defeating the enemy throughout the colonial army system. It seems that it was after this war that this corps completely lost its combat effectiveness, and there is speculation that it was because of excessive battle losses and unfair treatment. ”

The Grenadier Company has not been rebuilt, and in the later Battle of Boston, they fled without a fight, losing face. General Clinton seems to have intended to repatriate them, but has not yet announced it......"

Lorraine was dumbfounded: "Since you know this army so well, why ......"

"The Eighth Company was highly recommended by General Clinton to the Jazz. I heard that they have always behaved very actively, participating in counterinsurgency wars many times. If it weren't for the fact that Captain Leheid was so unsociable that he was never treated fairly, they would have made a name for themselves. ”

"Boston has long been lost, and according to you, the 52nd Army has no record of success, and Captain Rashid's activity in recent years has probably replaced many partners. Is it not sociable to be at odds with one person, and not to be at odds with everyone, but to be favored by the highest authorities? Admiral ......"

"The Marines evaluated the battle plan and rejected it, believing that landing on the island was tantamount to death." Nelson interrupted Lorraine in a calm tone, "I know that Eight Company and Leheed are not good partners, but Jazz promoted Operation Halloween just because he trusted me, and I can't hold him accountable." ”

"Knowing the grace...... Lorraine looked at Nelson in silence for a moment, "I suggest you talk to Captain Rashid again." If the result is still the same as it is now...... The mere fact that you failed to change your plan without permission is a good reason to be entirely at fault. How, want to give it a try? ”

"Try again...... Really? ”
