Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan first attacked the East India Company's colonies in America, such as Charleston, Wilmington, Baltimore, New York, Boston, etc.

All merchant ships and warships were sunk, all ports were destroyed, and even the farms and factories of the East India Company were not spared. Either a hurricane was summoned to sweep away everything, or a flood was summoned to submerge everything.

And before each action, Xiang Nan would use the "loud voice" spell to amplify his voice and warn the people of the East India Company.

"Rebuild the temple, release the priests and believers... otherwise the punishment will never stop."

The news of the attack on the North American colonies soon reached the ears of the East India Company, which surprised them and hurt them.

You should know that the East India Company has thirteen colonies in the United States, including Virginia, North and South Carolina, New York, Georgia, Pennsylvania, etc.

These colonies provide hundreds of thousands of pounds of revenue to the East India Company every year, and are the East India Company's largest trading partner outside of Europe.

Now the ports, factories and farms of these colonies are seriously damaged, and more than a dozen warships and nearly fifty merchant ships have sunk, causing losses of more than 500,000 pounds, which is really unbearable.

The punishment of the key south is still continuing, and the colonies in Australia and Asia have also been attacked one after another. Especially in the colonies in India and Southeast Asia.

Tea, spices, minerals, cotton cloth, sugar, etc. in India and Southeast Asia are the best-selling products of the East India Company. Especially spices, the profit is as high as 200%.

Like pepper, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, etc., the price in the European market is even equivalent to gold. Every year, the East India Company can plunder nearly 2 million pounds of assets from India.

Therefore, India and Southeast Asia are undoubtedly the lifeblood of the East India Company. Now its colonies in India and Southeast Asia have been attacked.

Merchant ships and warships sank, ports were destroyed, farms were flooded, factories collapsed... The losses of the East India Company were even more serious, even far exceeding the losses in North America.

...

Seeing this, Beckett wanted to hold on.

He thought that since Colibusso was so angry, it just proved that the measures he took were correct.

Just like people, they will not feel pain unless they are touched.

The temple and believers are obviously his weak points. Destroying his temple and arresting his believers will be able to deal with him.

Therefore, he suggested that other directors should not only not rebuild the temple and release the priests and believers, but should destroy the temple more vigorously and search for priests and believers.

This is used to threaten Colibusso not to be an enemy of the East India Company. Even the East India Company can turn around and control the sea goddess Colibusso and let her be used by the East India Company.

But the other directors and the financial backers behind the scenes are not as beautiful as he thought.

"We still haven't figured out what Colibuso is. But the losses he caused are still fresh in our memory. So far, we have lost nearly two million pounds. How can we explain this to our shareholders?"

"Lord Beckett, we asked you to be a director because we hope you can help the company make money. But the radical measures you took not only failed to help us make money, but also angered a pagan god.

Now this pagan god has caused us more than two million pounds in losses, and the losses are still increasing. Lord Beckett, how can you explain this to us?"

"Yes, keep fighting, are you sure you will win? I know there are gods in this world, but those gods are high above and don't care about worldly affairs, so we don't have to fear them.

But this Unlike the goddess of the sea, He really took action, and His strength was far beyond our imagination. He could easily sink our warships and merchant ships, and destroy our ports, factories and farms.

How could we possibly defeat a god like this? So I suggest that we show our goodwill to Him and agree to His terms before the losses further expand. ”

“Agree! Mortals can’t defeat gods.”

“No matter how strong our ships and guns are, we can’t defeat gods.”

“Yes, it’s the best way to stop losses in time.”

“Gentlemen, if we give in now, it means that the pagan god has won. His reputation will increase significantly, His followers will expand rapidly, and He will continue to interfere with our business in the colonies. We will never have peace in the future.” Beckett reminded with a cold face.

The reason why Calibuso took action first was because he increased taxes in the colonies, which led to Calibuso’s followers praying that He would punish the East India Company and him. And Calibuso really took action.

Therefore, if the East India Company surrenders now, those believers will be very proud and think that they can use the power of God to fight against the East India Company.

In this way, it will be basically impossible for the East India Company to squeeze and plunder the wealth of the colonies. At that time, the East India Company will still be dead.

"Lord Beckett, if it weren't for your radical tax increase policy, there wouldn't be such a big mess."

"Yes, all this is caused by you. Colibuso didn't interfere with our business before. It was you who intensified the conflict and caused all this now."

"The responsibility for all this should be attributed to you, and you dare to accuse us of being short-sighted?"

The other directors all criticized Beckett.

In the end, all the directors decided to rebuild the temple of the goddess of the sea, release her priests and believers, and no longer oppose her.

As for Lord Beckett, he was dismissed by shareholders because of his poor performance, which caused serious losses to the company. In this way, Lord Beckett completely lost power.

Although he was shrewd and talented, he climbed from a low-level employee to a director step by step, which can be said to be quite capable. But once he lost the platform of the East India Company, it was basically impossible for him to make a comeback.

As Li Si said, "The virtue of a person is like a mouse, it depends on where it lives!" The importance of the platform is far greater than the ability of a person.

Don't say that gold will always shine, a rag can cover the light of gold.

...

Xiang Nan was not surprised to learn that Beckett had lost power, nor did he feel relieved.

To be honest, although Beckett was insidious, cunning, cruel and ruthless, he was just an ordinary person after all. It would be effortless for Xiang Nan to get rid of him.

He never took Beckett seriously, and he didn't even take the East India Company seriously.

If it weren't for Beckett's tax increase policy, which made people's lives miserable and even difficult for him to do his job, he would not have taught them a lesson.

As the East India Company admitted defeat and surrendered, rebuilt the temple, and released priests and believers, the reputation of the sea goddess Calypso suddenly increased.

Especially in India, Southeast Asia, North America and other places that were oppressed and exploited by the East India Company, the number of believers of the sea goddess increased sharply. They all hoped that the goddess would take action again and teach the East India Company a lesson, and it would be best to drive them all out.
