"But, in this case, isn't our British Empire making enemies all over the world?" Governor Swan said with a frown.

"Haha!" Beckett laughed and said, "Make enemies? Don't you have enemies if you are not strong? No, as a country, you will always have enemies. When you are not strong, someone will take the opportunity to bully you, you Want to avoid enemies by politeness and negotiation? This is simply a joke. The relationship between people can still maintain a civilized state, but the relationship between countries is naked oppression. We are strong, and we have the right to speak. , As for the areas that were plundered and colonized by us... Don’t worry, as long as our rule there can last for 100 years, then 100 years later, the descendants of the colonization will depend on our strength, and they will even Forget about your ancestors."

Governor Swann was speechless for a while.

He doesn't think that people like Beckett are correct, but he does feel that his vision and perception are not as good as Beckett.

As a civilian, Beckett can become a director of the East Indu Trading Company and a lord canonized by the Queen. Without any real skills, he cannot do it.

Chapter 370 Love Has a Shelf Life

"You came to me just to tell me this?" Governor Swan said in a deep voice.

"Of course not." Beckett smiled faintly, "Look, I am the Lord, I am the director of the East Indus Trading Company, I came to your Port Royal just to fight the arrogant pirates here and save our British Empire. Face, just find one more thing by the way."

"When these things are done, I must leave Port Royal."

"I have no intention of disrupting the structure of Port Royal. I still hope that you will be the governor of Port Royal-provided that you are willing to reach an agreement with me."

Governor Swann frowned and said: "I have committed a crime! I let go of the two people the Queen ordered to be executed, Elizabeth and Will! According to the Queen's law, I should be tried by the parliament court. How can you... let me? Continue to be Governor of Port Royal?"

Beckett said lightly: "Port Royal is located in the Caribbean Sea, so far away from Rotunda. Of course, the Queen doesn't know what happened here. As long as I don't say that you let Elizabeth and Will away, the Queen and Parliament won't know. Of course you can safely be your governor."

Governor Swann frowned and said, "...Wang Fa."

Beckett sneered and said, "Wang Fa, when you need it, it is Wang Fa."

Governor Swann felt a pain in his heart. If the matter was not about him, he would definitely reprimand him. However, this matter is closely related to him. If he wants to survive and keep his reputation and status, he must follow the same style as Beckett. .

Governor Swann said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?"

Beckett smiled and said, "Smart—it's simple. You continue to be your governor. As for Elizabeth's execution order, I can eliminate it for you."

Governor Swann asked in surprise: "What? You...can you destroy the decree signed by the Queen?"

Beckett laughed and said: "Before I came here, I asked the queen for three things, an anonymous privateer's permit, and two blank execution orders. The queen gave me the right to fill in my name at will, and I can even Fill in your Governor Swann’s name on the execution order. Of course, this is not good for you and me."

Governor Swan was trembling all over, afraid again and again.

What he is afraid of is not that Beckett can write his name on the execution order, but the power given to Beckett by the queen, which has exceeded the law.

The law is really just a thing that restrains civilians, it is really just a toy of power.

As long as the civilians don’t know the truth, and the power is willing to play with the law, they can play it.

Beckett smiled and said: "You must think why the queen is so good to me, a small civilian? It's very simple. I can bring the queen what she really wants, that is, the country is strong."

Governor Swann said in a deep voice: "Should the country's strength not be based on the rule of law, fairness, and everyone's hard work?"

Beckett smiled: "Ah, yes, that's what we say to the civilians. We ask them to be diligent, and then we can collect their taxes-but, if the queen wants to build an invincible fleet, the money depends on taxes alone. No, the queen wants to allocate funds to universities to research new technologies. This money can’t rely on taxes alone. If we rely on normal taxes alone, we must go through at least three generations before we can make a breakthrough. However, if we plunder other countries’ Assets, we can fight for three generations less, and let those countries fight for three more generations. This positive and negative, we can have at least 100 years of advantage. This is the fastest way to become a strong country. "

Governor Swann sighed faintly, "...Unexpectedly, we have been committed to combating piracy. It turns out that we ourselves are the biggest robbers in the world."

Beckett smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what we are. What's important is that this world depends on our strength. We have strength. We are the boss. If we are the boss, we will naturally have dog legs to cling to us, our dog legs. With more, our position as the boss will be higher and more stable."

"Do you want me to be loyal to you?" Governor Swan said coldly.

Beckett smiled: "Don't be so ugly, what is loyalty to me? We are all loyal to the Queen, loyal to the English Empire."

"Hehe, then, what exactly should I do?" Governor Swann asked.

"Use your local influence in Port Royal to continue to serve the British Empire. In addition, you have to speak to the East Indu Trading Company for me more in Lundun and Parliament." Beckett said.

Governor Swann said coldly: "It seems that Parliament is right to oppose you."

"No, they are not against me because of what I do. They are against me because of my origin. Don't think that what I do is not justice. Those who oppose me are just. The people in the parliament are just like me. They just want to get rid of me, a commoner, and maintain their noble status." Beckett sneered.

Governor Swann nodded slightly, "Okay, I can speak for you."

Beckett laughed and said: "In addition, you have to raise taxes in Port Royal, the entry fee has to be doubled, the port fee also has to be there, as well as the space fee, stamp duty, etc., all must be."

Governor Swann frowned and said, "But, Port Royal has never collected taxes like this."

Beckett smiled and said: "That was before, now taxes must be collected, and your taxes must be directly handed over to East Indu Trading Company."

"This..." Governor Swan hesitated.

This is both unreasonable and unreasonable.

According to the current Queen’s law, the governors of overseas colonies are not required to pay taxes, and of course they cannot request subsidies from the English Parliament.

However, there has never been a precedent for giving taxes to a company.

Beckett smiled coldly: "Governor Swann, the reason I call you governor now is because we still have the possibility of cooperating. Your daughter Elizabeth is still in exile. My spies told me that she has already gone. The Black Pearl is surrounded by pirates. And my fleet is ready to chase them. Once I catch the Black Pearl, I will sink it. When the time comes, your daughter will be buried. In the sea, there are no bones left."

"No! No!" Governor Swan said hurriedly: "I promise you! As long as you can save my Elizabeth!"

Beckett said with a smile: "Very well, it seems we have reached an agreement. Welcome your return, Governor Swann, Port Royal can't live without you."

Governor Swan smiled bitterly, "...thank you."

"Ah, by the way, as a gift for your return, I want to give you this one." Beckett took out the execution order with Elizabeth's name on it and tore it in front of Governor Swann. Two halves.

Governor Swan asked, "Where's Will?"

Beckett laughed and said: "Governor Swann, do you really want a pirate to be your son-in-law? Elizabeth, a better man, think about your future and status. Love has a shelf life, only money and The rights have no expiration date."

Governor Swan pursed his lips without refuting.

Chapter 371

In the afternoon, the ocean was calm and the huge "Flying Dutchman" floated quietly on the sea.

The sailors had nothing to do and gathered together to bet on dice.

This is also the only pleasure on board the flying Dutchman. The water ghost sailors went out to maintain the operation of the ship, that is, to rob and rob the ships. They can't even go to land, let alone enjoy it in places like Tortuga Port.

"I bet for ten years!" The hammerhead shark water ghost pressed the dice cup.

"With you, I'll bet for ten years too!" said the fish-bone water ghost next to him.

"Okay, I will follow!" A fish-mouthed water ghost also followed.

The three of them lowered their heads, quietly opened their dice cups, and looked at the dice inside.

Will stood next to them, watching them gambling boringly.

Old Bill Turner took the opportunity to walk to Will's side, "Son... ahem, Will, do you know how to play this game?"
