What Chen Mo needs Governor Swan to do may be said to be simple, but it may be said that it is difficult to do.
To put it simply, what Chen Mo wants Governor Swan to do is actually the same as what Lord Beckett asked him to do in the movie, which is to allow the East India Company to control the Caribbean and to carry out attacks on the pirates entrenched here.
Pay off.
However, Chen Mo's policy is obviously different from Lord Beckett's.
In the movie, Lord Beckett's purpose is just to kill a large number of pirates, forcing the "hymn" to sound and causing the ocean goddess Cory Busso to appear.
Chen Mo's goals certainly include Cory Busso, but his most fundamental purpose is to control the Caribbean Sea. Another purpose of clearing the pirates is to stabilize local social security.
I would like to ask if bandits are rampant in an area, how can social development and commercial trade be carried out?
Therefore, Chen Mo's task for Governor Swann was to send the Royal Navy's Caribbean Squadron to join the East India Company's fleet to liquidate all areas under British control in the Caribbean. The captured pirates would all be hanged after their charges were confirmed.
Of course, Chen Mo did not give these pirates a chance. As long as they voluntarily come to Port Royal to surrender and register within the specified period, and cooperate with the Royal Navy to pay off other pirates, they can be pardoned.
At the same time, Governor Swann needed to cooperate with Lord Becket to prepare for the next war launched by the East India Company to control the entire Caribbean.
Chen Mo's goal is not just as simple as catching a sea goddess or hanging a few pirates, he wants the entire Caribbean.
"Do you want to start a war?" After hearing Chen Mo's purpose, Governor Swan did not think that he was a war madman or a lunatic. He just thought about it and said, "If that's the case, I suggest you not to kill him."
There are so many pirates, they are a good source of soldiers, especially for naval battles."
Governor Swann certainly did not intercede for the pirates because his future son-in-law was the son of a pirate and was currently looking for a pirate.
In fact, this is caused by British national policy.
As we all know, in order to challenge Spain's maritime hegemony, the then Queen Elizabeth I issued the first privateering license, which allowed British-owned ships to rob ships of hostile countries during wartime. This action was called
Privateering provided a basis for legalizing their piracy.
After plundering a large amount of wealth, these pirates will also hand over part of it to the queen. Both parties can get what they need and benefit each other.
It was precisely by relying on these privateers that Britain's maritime power was rapidly strengthened, and in the battle with the Spanish Armada, it relied on the navy transformed from these privateers to win the victory, laying the foundation for British maritime hegemony.
.
This is one of the reasons why Port Royal is also known as the pirate capital, because Britain's long-standing national policy has been to rely on the piracy of these privateers to weaken other countries and increase Britain's war advantage.
It was precisely because of this that Governor Swan advised Chen Mo not to kill so many pirates.
However, Chen Mo shook his head and said: "I will not kill pirates who are willing to surrender in exchange for a privateering license, but those who are stubborn and still believe that freedom is more important than order, the only thing waiting for them is the gallows
."
After saying that, Chen Mo looked at Lord Beckett and said to him: "Beckett, next you will cooperate with Governor Swan to clear out the pirates as planned. I need to go to Tetuga. I hope that when I come back
By then you had already taken action, and the first pirates had already hung on the gallows."
"As you command, my lord." Because Governor Swann was present, Lord Beckett did not call Chen Mo his master.
Seeing the attitude of Chen Mo and Lord Beckett, Governor Swan on the side said nothing more. He just began to figure out how to cooperate with Lord Beckett to complete the mission.
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he walked towards the Blood Sail anchored in the port.
But halfway through, he suddenly stopped and asked Governor Swan: "Governor Swan, you should be able to issue a privateering license, right?"
"Yes, according to British law and the rights granted to me by the King, I do have the right to issue privateering licenses, but they are only valid in the Caribbean." Governor Swan didn't understand why Chen Mo asked this, but he still answered him
The problem.
Chen Mo nodded slightly, looked at Lord Beckett, stretched out his hand to him and said: "Beckett, give me the privateering license issued by the king, and by the way, ask Governor Swan to sign a few blank ones... Then I will
I think it should come in handy."
"I follow your will, my lord." Lord Beckett hurriedly handed over to Chen Mo the privateering license he had brought from England and issued by the king. Naturally, it had already been signed and sealed, and he was just waiting to fill in his name.
After taking this privateering license, Chen Mo walked towards the Blood Sail on the sea, and with his footsteps, sea fog gradually rose on the sea.
"Who is he?" Looking at the almost unbelievable scene in front of him, Governor Swan still felt incredible even though he had just seen the crew of the Black Pearl turn into skeletons under the moonlight.
Facing Governor Swann's question, Lord Beckett did not explain, but watched with fanaticism in his eyes as the Bloodsail sailed and lifted anchor.
——————————————
In the sea fog, the Blood Sail sailed towards the free port of Tetuga.
The water flow around the ship is affected by the spell attached to the ship, and the ship sails very smoothly. There is no bumpiness at all when ordinary sea ships sail, as if it is not sailing on the sea, but sailing in the inland waterway.
The captain's cabin of the Blood Sail is very luxuriously decorated. A huge gold chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The candlelight reflects the jewels under the reflection of various gemstones. There are dark red velvet curtains hanging around the cabin, and a large number of gold and silver jewels.
They were piled on the ground, pressed on the same dark red carpet.
Chen Mo leaned on the high-backed chair also wrapped in velvet and was looking at the privateering license in his hand. In front of him was a huge table made of whole oak.
"Privateer's License... Speaking of which, you could still buy this thing in the store in the Age of Discovery games." Chen Mo threw the privateer's license on the table and slightly moved the one in front of him.
An instrument like an armillary sphere.
The entire instrument is composed of multiple rings like an armillary sphere. The largest outer ring is about the same size as the large globe placed in the corner, but the lower part of the instrument is embedded in the table, and one seems to have been shrunk.
The Blood Sail is sailing in the cavity in the middle of this instrument like an armillary sphere, but this model-like Blood Sail is surrounded by blood and water.
This is the control center of the Blood Sail. Chen Mo only needs to gently turn the ring on this instrument to control the entire Blood Sail.
The outermost ring on the instrument is different from the other rings. It is always horizontal and much wider. It is full of degrees like a precise compass, and there are drops of blood on it to form ports.
The names point to the directions corresponding to these names respectively.
At this time, the name that the Bloodsail's bow was pointing to was "Tetuga".
