According to the original movie plot, William Turner was sent to find Jack Sparrow, and Chen Mo asked Lord Beckett to invite Governor Swann to the office.
In the original movie, Governor Swann seems to be a rather comic character, and the image he presents is also that of a weak and incompetent old father who overly dotes on his daughter. People do not have a deep impression of him.
However, as a British colonial governor, Governor Swann could never be just what he looked like in the movie.
As the colonial governor directly appointed by the king, he enjoyed military and political power in the colony, could mobilize the armed forces and fleets of the colony, and could promulgate laws in the colony and do whatever he wanted.
As long as he still obeys the rule of the British King and carries out instructions from home, then a colonial governor is equivalent to a de facto ruler locally.
This is why in the first part of the movie, Governor Swann can let Commodore Norrington take the fleet to rescue his daughter. In the third part, even the East India Company has to cooperate with him, because the power of a governor is very great.
.
Governor Swann became a weak point just because of his character and the fact that his daughter was captured. Otherwise, with the power of a colonial governor, even the East India Company would not be able to do anything to a colonial governor with real power.
Especially since this governor was the governor of Port Royal.
Port Royal is located on the island of Jamaica in the northwest Caribbean Sea. It is one of the most important shipping ports in the Caribbean, the shipping center of the Caribbean in this era, and an important commercial center in the Caribbean.
The island of Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean. It is also the most famous sugar, rum and coffee producing area in this era. There are a large number of plantations on the island, which can be said to be an important part of British colonial rule in the Caribbean.
part.
The core that maintains all this is Port Royal, ruled by Governor Swann.
When the route is at its busiest, a large number of merchant ships gather at Port Royal every day to buy and sell goods.
Huge amounts of money flow here every day, and it is also known as the richest city in the world.
It can be said that controlling Port Royal is equivalent to controlling the entire Caribbean Sea, and even the entire New World.
After all, cross-continental material transportation and exchanges in this era all rely on sea transportation, and the route from the Caribbean to Europe is the main channel for exchanges between the New World and Europe in this era. Once it is stuck here, it can be said that it can completely affect or even control the entire
America.
Therefore, it is very important to obtain the cooperation and support of the governor.
Governor Swann was quickly invited to the office that originally belonged to him. Perhaps because of the arrest of his daughter, Governor Swann had a very bad attitude towards Lord Beckett and showed an uncooperative cold face.
Despite Lord Becket's persuasion, Governor Swann still had no intention of cooperating with the East India Company.
Seeing that Lord Beckett could not convince Governor Swann, Chen Mo had to take action personally.
"Governor Swann, I hope you can understand that everything the East India Company has done is for Britain." Although the entire East India Company has long been reduced to Chen Mo's personal property, at this time he still pulled out the words in order to convince Governor Swann.
The Great Flag of Britain: "Do you need me to detail for you how much the East India Company contributed to the British seizure of India? Or do you need me to tell you that His Majesty the King loaned millions of pounds from the East India Company? Or do you want to hear about the East India Company?
Indian companies are responsible for all of Britain’s current import trade and pay more than 20% of the country’s fiscal revenue in taxes every year?”
"The East India Company cannot represent Britain, and you cannot represent the entire East India Company." As a governor-general, Governor Swan clearly knew the importance of the East India Company to Britain today, and he did not want to have an affair with the East India Company if it was not necessary.
conflict.
But it was obvious that the Governor was very angry that his precious daughter had become a prisoner of the East India Company, and did not want to cooperate with Lord Becket.
In particular, Governor Swann and Lord Beckett are not strangers to each other. He clearly understands what kind of person Lord Beckett is. Cooperating with such a person is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.
Although Governor Swan didn't know who the Easterner in front of him was, he still noticed Lord Beckett's respect for Chen Mo, so he asked: "Then who are you?"
"Me? I am no one, just myself." Chen Mo did not explain his identity to Governor Swan, but persuaded him: "Governor Swan, even if you don't consider the British and French colonies in the New World,
The war needs the support of the East India Company, and pirates must be eliminated to ensure smooth trade. You should always think about your daughter, right?"
"Elizabeth! What do you want to do to my daughter?" Governor Swan's expression immediately changed when he mentioned his daughter.
Obviously nothing is more important to Governor Swann than his daughter.
Fortunately, Chen Mo did not intend to use Elizabeth to threaten Governor Swan. He just said to him: "It's not what I want to do to your daughter, but what you want to do for your daughter. Miss Elizabeth is young and beautiful, I think
If she lived in London, she would be the most dazzling jewel in the upper class society, right?
Think about it, she has an extraordinary family and beautiful appearance. With your status as Governor Swann, the person who can marry her should at least be a young and promising officer of the Royal Navy or the heir of a certain noble.
Rather than marrying a penniless poor boy, especially the son of a pirate."
Chen Mo's words clearly touched Governor Swan's sadness.
He loves his daughter, Governor Swan, in every possible way, and naturally wants the best for his daughter.
Even though he was in the New World, he still tried every means to get the most fashionable clothes, skirts and various jewelry in London for his daughter, in order to let his daughter enjoy the best life he could give her.
According to his original idea, Elizabeth should marry the young and promising Brigadier General Norrington, but instead his daughter fell in love with a blacksmith.
The old father could not help his stubborn daughter and had to agree to the marriage. He could only comfort himself that at least William Turner was a good young man and was indeed very kind to Elizabeth to comfort his broken heart.
But now Chen Mo's words made Governor Swan obviously have some different ideas.
"What do you want to do?" Governor Swan asked Chen Mo again, but this time there was no dissatisfaction and toughness in his tone, but a real inquiry.
