Movie World I Am A King

Going back in time one night—

Lord Cutler Beckett stood at the bow of the ship facing the somewhat icy sea breeze...

As far as he could see, there were white sails... Such a huge fleet did not give Lord Beckett a sense of accomplishment.

Holding the side of Endeavor with his hand, Lord Beckett's mind was not as calm as his face showed.

He still remembers the scene when he was called before the Supreme after the conferring ceremony——

——I am the dividing line of memories——

"Lord Beckett..." King George II, wearing a white wig, sat on his throne and looked at the newly promoted director of the East India Company in front of him. He was already a little fat in his middle age.

"Your Majesty!" Lord Beckett lowered his head facing the King of England and Scotland.

"I have read your information. From an ordinary employee of the East India Company to a director of the East India Company, I have seen all the contributions you have made to this country. Do you think that in this world... Is there any existence that can hinder our England's maritime hegemony?" George II said slowly.

"No, Your Majesty!" Lord Beckett said frantically, "France has begun to decline, and their sea power is far inferior to the Kingdom's Royal Navy. Moreover, the Kingdom of Spain has already sunk into the sky, and they will not become our country. obstructive..."

"Well said, Your Excellency!" George II sighed: "But—this perception is wrong..."

"What?" Lord Beckett looked at his king in confusion. He didn't know why George II would say that.

"Let's take a look at this material!" George II said, signaling the court officials behind him to hand over the material to Lord Beckett.

"Because this material is too amazing, it has been sealed in the archives and has never been made public..."

Accompanied by King George II's words, Lord Beckett opened the file marked confidential - this is not so much a confidential file as it is a plan for military operations. Lord Beckett noticed the plan The time marked in the book is five years ago...

five years ago? ? ?

Lord Beckett shrank his pupils suddenly - he seemed to have thought of some rumors...

Although he was an ordinary middle-level member of the East India Company at that time, he also vaguely heard about one thing, that is, the joint naval operation of the three countries encountered a sea hurricane, and no one survived...

However, there are also rumors—that in fact, England, France and Spain joined forces to encircle and suppress a legendary pirate warship in the Caribbean Sea. It is said that the warship is extremely huge, with a steel-cast hull and extremely powerful firepower... …is the Caribbean, no, perhaps the uncrowned king of the entire ocean.

Lord Beckett absolutely does not believe the latter rumor... In his opinion, no ship can be made of steel, let alone any ship that can withstand the siege of more than a hundred warships...

However—the meager information in his hand obviously refreshed his three views...It turns out that the three countries really had a joint operation five years ago, and that joint operation actually failed...Could it be——that legendary ship Is the invincible battleship in the game real? Instead of those pirates making up?

"We——failed...we have completely failed!" George II's voice was so heavy, "For this reason, we lost more than 5,000 excellent Royal Navy, and more than 70 warships of various types... ..."

"Could it be——is the battleship named Umbrella really so powerful? Your Majesty!" Even with the information in his hand, Lord Beckett still couldn't believe it.

"I think—yes!" George II said here, his voice suddenly becoming frantic. "But—now, our chance has come... Lord Beckett!"

"What chance? Your Majesty?" Lord Beckett was taken aback by George II's sudden frenzy. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at his Majesty the King...

At this time, George II's somewhat fat face was blushing, and even sweat began to appear on his forehead... It was not nervousness, but excitement...

"At this moment, the captain of the Umbrella is enjoying his vacation in Port Royal, Jamaica - but his ship is not in Port Royal... This is a good opportunity..." George II's expression became Some distorted... "As long as we catch that captain, we will have a chance to get that invincible giant sea beast—From then on, our England will control the entire sea... and become the well-deserved sea supremacy! Lord Beckett, you Are you willing to give your all for the rise of England?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lord Beckett seemed to be infected by George II's fanaticism, and a blush of excitement appeared on his cheeks.

"Very well, Lord Beckett, I am very satisfied with your answer!" George II said, leaning back, "This time I will order the Channel Fleet to go to Jamaica with you... However, they will not hang the royal Navy ensign..."

Lord Beckett was taken aback by George II's words, Straits Fleet? It can be said that the fleet of England is guarding the mainland... There are more than 60 auxiliary ships of battleships, large and small, basically a fleet prepared to prevent the French army from crossing the sea... "Won't mobilizing the Channel Fleet create a defense void for the mainland? Your Majesty! "

"For that invincible battleship, even the fall of Scotland is worth it!" George II said frantically, "Go get ready and get ready to set sail. In order to paralyze the captain, I strictly ordered the garrison at Port Royal not to move, so—— You can cut them out of your plans this time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lord Beckett lowered his head, turned around and planned to leave...

"I have prepared a grand Earl promotion ceremony for you, but after you come back...don't let me down, my lord."

The voice of George II made Lord Beckett tremble. His title of Sir is a commoner title, which can be said to be the lowest title and has no right of succession. However--the earl is different, the earl can be hereditary... ...That is to say, if he successfully brings back that captain, or even brings back that invincible warship, His Majesty the King will definitely reward him...

But—if it doesn't come back, then—maybe he's the poor guy who was thrown out to attract wrath...

Why is the Channel Fleet changing its flag? Why not fly the flag of the Royal Navy and fly the flag of the East India Company? It's not because of the fear—the fear of not catching the captain, but causing the captain's anger instead—then—he is the best scapegoat...or in other words, the entire East India Company will be the scapegoat.

However, wealth and wealth are in danger—on the one hand, he performed steadily and steadily, and in the end, he might be able to obtain a viscount or baron title when he was too old to walk, or he could take a gamble and catch that The captain of an invincible battleship, and the title of earl, as long as he is ambitious, he will not choose the wrong one.

"I will never let you down, Your Majesty!" After Lord Beckett finished speaking, he walked towards the palace gate without looking back...
