Save the Bachelor of Heaven
Chapter 4485 4487 [East India Company]
"The East India Company hopes you can help the company expand its sphere of influence in the Caribbean, and hopes you can help keep an eye on two people.
One is Jack Sparrow, he is a notorious pirate." Mr. Mather, who was in charge of transporting the ship, handed Xiang Nan two more wanted posters, "The other is Angelica, she is a sinister and cunning thief and liar."
Xiang Nan took the wanted poster and saw that the portraits were Jack Sparrow and Angelica who appeared in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4".
Their bounties are 2,000 pounds and 5,000 pounds respectively.
"Angelica's bounty is higher than Captain Jack's? What earth-shattering things did she do?" Xiang Nan was very surprised to see this.
But on the surface he still kept silent, "Yes, I will definitely keep an eye on it."
He knew that the full name of the East India Company was "The Company of London Merchants Trading in the East Indies". It was founded in 1600 and was formed by a group of ambitious and extremely greedy businessmen, and the financial backers behind them were the British nobles.
Therefore, after the establishment of the "East India Company", it obtained the permission of the King of England and monopolized the trade from East India to Britain, thus making extremely lucrative profits.
Later, with the strong support of the nobles, the power and sphere of influence of the East India Company became larger and larger, from the original commercial trade to the military, political power, and trade.
The sphere of influence also expanded from the original India to Africa, Australia, Asia, America and other places, becoming a super interest group with influence all over the world.
Even the Royal Port and the British Royal Navy were controlled and influenced by them.
This is why Beckett, a senior executive of the East India Company, was able to exempt Governor Weatherby Swan from the position in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".
Even James Norrington, a British Royal Navy Commodore, had to obey the orders of the East India Company.
...
"That's good." Mather nodded. "Mr. Beckett has read your resume and is very satisfied. If you can work harder, he guarantees that you will be promoted to a higher position within three years."
"Yes, thank Mr. Beckett on my behalf. I will continue to work hard and live up to his expectations of me." Xiang Nan nodded.
Carret Beckett is one of the senior executives of the East India Company. According to "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom", Beckett is also from an aristocratic family.
However, he was born with congenital deficiencies and was very thin and dry, so he was not valued by his father and almost thrown away.
Beckett fought for his breath and did not complain about the world. Instead, he studied harder than ordinary people, and was determined to stand out and make a big career.
After growing up, he left home and came to the East India Company, starting as a low-level employee. He was once caught by pirates and asked his father for a high ransom.
But his father did not care about his life or death, so Beckett suffered inhuman abuse. Fortunately, he finally escaped. But because of this, he hated pirates so much that he wanted to kill them all.
After that, Beckett climbed up step by step with his intelligence and ruthlessness, and finally got a high-level executive position. What he was best at was helping the masters make money, so he recruited a large number of spies to help him collect various treasures.
Jack Sparrow was once his most valued spy, and he also helped him find the legendary Heart of Zerzura.
It was a sacred object of a tribe on an island, with incredible powers. But Jack knew that once the Heart of Zerzura was handed over, the entire island would be exposed. At that time, not only would the treasures on the island be taken away, but even the islanders would be captured as slaves, so he returned the Heart of Zerzura.
But because of this, he offended Beckett, and was eventually branded as a pirate and imprisoned.
And Mr. Mather was another capable subordinate of Beckett.
Unlike the kind-hearted Jack, he was ruthless and cruel, so he was very favored by Beckett.
…
“It seems that the East India Company is actively expanding its influence.” After sending Mr. Mather away, Xiang Nan thought to himself, “Sending the Interceptor here probably means they want to do something big.”
Xiang Nan knew that the Seven Years’ War would break out between Britain and France in the future to compete for hegemony over the European land and colonies.
In the Seven Years’ War, Britain won a complete victory and took away many overseas colonies such as Canada, India, Africa, the Caribbean, and east of the Mississippi River from France.
Now that the East India Company has sent the Interceptor, it is probably actively preparing for war and preparing for future wars with colonists from other Caribbean countries.
But then again, the expansion of the East India Company is not a good thing for Xiang Nan.
He still prefers the current life of getting by, being free and easy, and being far away from the emperor.
Now he is the highest military commander in Port Royal, and even Governor Weatherby Swan has to respect him.
The two of them are far away from the emperor in Port Royal, and they are in charge of military, political, and judicial power, which is equivalent to being a local emperor.
But once the influence of the East India Company expands to the Caribbean, he will have a group of superiors. By then, I don't know how many people will ride on their heads and bully them.
As the saying goes, "If you were not good in your previous life, you will be a county magistrate in this life; if you did evil in your previous life, you will be a county magistrate in the capital; if you are full of evil, you will be a provincial capital in the capital." By then, he and Weatherby Swan will be so miserable.
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan used his Apparition to come to Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl.
But when he got on the ship, he didn't see Jack on the deck.
"Jack~" Xiang Nan was stunned, and then came to the captain's room, and saw Jack lying on the bed weakly.
"Hi, old friend...long time no see...help me...I'm dying of thirst." Jack said happily when he saw Xiang Nan.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly took out the Hufflepuff gold cup and summoned a large cup of butter beer, lamb chops, steak, mashed potatoes, puff pastry tarts and cream cheese cakes for Jack.
"Oh my God~" Captain Jack was deeply surprised to see Xiang Nan turn so many delicacies out of a cup in the blink of an eye.
Especially when these delicacies were taken out, they were still steaming hot and exuded a rich fragrance, as if they were just made, which surprised him even more.
"How did you become like this?" Xiang Nan asked puzzledly.
"It's hard to explain. I was cheated." Jack said depressedly, "She came to my ship, took away all my money, and even took away my sword. I couldn't operate the Black Pearl by myself, so I drifted on the sea for several days.
The rum was finished, and the fresh water was finished. Fortunately, you came, otherwise I would have died of thirst and hunger." Jack grumbled while wolfing down his food, which showed that he was really hurt this time.
"There are actually people in the world who can cheat you? That's a strange person." Xiang Nan smiled, "Tell me, who cheated you?"
"Angelica." Jack gritted his teeth.
