Chapter 306: Turmoil Surges
"Report! Your Royal Highness! Prince Charles of Habsburg has a secret envoy coming! ”
A sudden sound outside the door couldn't help but make Carlos and Dana in the hall stunned.
The nemesis Charles actually lined up a secret envoy? Or is it at this bizarre time? What is he trying to do?
Carlos's eyes flashed with suspicion, but then he reverted to his unruly appearance.
He touched the maid's thigh casually, and then shouted with a big grin, "Let him in." ”
"Yes!"
Soon, a figure dressed as an ordinary fisherman entered the main hall under the watchful eye of five or six Bourbon guards.
"Greetings to the great Prince Carlos! May Prince Carlos always be well! ”
Carlos waved his hand impatiently and exclaimed:
"Okay, okay, don't give this to Prince Ben, what does Charles's disabled child want to do, hurry up."
His own prince was so insulted that Piha was very angry in his heart;
But the two sides are at war, and besides, this is the base camp of the family, and he is just a small secret agent, so what can he do?
"Yes! My Prince Charles has a secret letter from across the ocean, but he told the villain that he must deliver it to you in person, but the specific content of the letter is self-contained, but the villain does not know. ”
Piha said as he pulled out a sealed piece of paper from his bosom.
Dana stepped forward to take the letterhead, then turned and handed it to Carlos.
Carlos lazily tore open the letter stamp, then took out the letter paper and looked at it casually.
But soon Carlos's demeanor was no longer indifferent, first a little surprised, then a little solemn, and finally a deep thought.
"Your Royal Highness?"
Seeing this, Dina couldn't help but be curious.
Carlos came back to his senses, waved his hand and ordered, "Come, take him down and entertain him." ”
"Yes!"
After the guards had led Piha out of the main hall, Carlos waved off a few more handmaidens before handing the letter to Dyna.
Dana took a look, but found that it actually said that the British Dynasty had recently accumulated a lot of experience in the war between the two of them, and it had long harbored ill intentions, and it was really unbearable to have a black hand against the two of them this time.
So Charles wanted to change the status quo, end the war between the two sides, and divide the territories and resources of the British dynasty together.
After all, the power of the British dynasty in the Caribbean is stronger than either of them, and in the long run, the two of them will only get weaker and weaker, while the other side will become stronger and stronger, and eventually they will only fall prey to the British dynasty.
Specifically, Charles wanted to play a play with Carlos, and took advantage of this play to take the lead in inflicting a fatal blow on the British dynasty.
As for the morality of not declaring war or something, that's not something they're thinking about at all.
After Dynath digested the message, Carlos tapped on his chair and asked:
"What do you think?"
"Charles's statement should not be false, in the long run, the British dynasty has been under the stability of the overall situation, and as time goes on, they will inevitably become stronger and stronger, which is extremely unfavorable to us.
It would be great if the two of us could work together against the British Dynasty.
It's just that although Charles is ill, he is scheming, and his subordinates are worried about whether there will be any deception in this? ”
Carlos nodded slowly and said, "Charles is indeed very cunning, but after dealing with him for so long, I still know his details."
Hehe, I thought it wasn't fun, but now it's interesting.
It is expected that the British Dynasty is not stable internally at this time, how can such a good opportunity be missed?
Reply, promise Charles! ”
"This, yes!"
Dana was still a little hesitant, and at the same time sighed in his heart.
The biggest problem of this Prince Carlos is obviously that he doesn't know enough, but he doesn't want to admit it, he will always be the head for the sake of face, and the so-called fun things seem to be addictions that he can't quit, and he can't stop at all......
But now that Carlos has made a decision, he can't say anything more.
Port Royal, Jamaica Island.
Norrington's expression was ugly at this time, and what had happened in the day really made him a little exhausted.
First, the Interceptor was stolen, and then pursued all the way, but they gained nothing but the lives of nearly thirty warships and several soldiers!
Then Elizabeth, who was about to be engaged, his sweetheart, ran away with the shameless pirate, and Norrington preferred to think that Elizabeth had been kidnapped rather than think that Elizabeth had taken the initiative to run away.
In the end, Mandel's bastard didn't even return to Port Royal, and after several hours of investigation, Norrington finally determined that the bastard had gone straight to Barcelona, the real headquarters of the British dynasty in the Caribbean, where the East India Company Council, which was actually in power!
Obviously, Mandel was afraid to settle accounts with him, and he thought he had the handle on him, so he wanted to sue himself to the Navy Headquarters and the Council!
In addition to the blessing of the family influence he enjoyed when he first joined the army, his achievements today are completely due to his hard work.
And there are not a few people in the Navy Headquarters who are not used to looking down on him and are greedy for the Southwest Fleet, and at the same time, there are few supporters in his own council, and he can even predict what awaits him next.
In the face of this impending nightmare, he could hardly change anything, as the commander of a powerful fleet, Norrington felt so weak and helpless at this time......
Barcelona.
"Congressman Mather, has the council's decision come out?"
Cutler Beckett sat casually behind a high desk, leisurely sipping a delicate rum vintage, and asked with a smile as he looked at Mather as he walked in.
"Hahaha, Major General, no, no, no, I can't call you Major General anymore, it should be Lieutenant General!
Dear Lieutenant General Beckett, the urgent resolution of the Parliament has been issued, and I have come here not only to report the good news, but also to give the Parliament's orders.
In view of your long history of service to the British Royal Navy and the East India Company, from this point on, you, Lord Beckett, have been promoted from rear admiral to vice admiral, and have full control of the South East Fleet and the South West Fleet!
That is, from this point on, you will be the sole commander and master of the entire Caribbean British Fleet!
However, the council has also imposed restrictions on you.
First, you need to renounce the title and power of the Viceroy of Barcelona, and you will not be able to control any land power thereafter;
Second, you need to complete the integration of the two fleets within half a month, redraw the defense zone, and formulate a further development strategy.
Of course, this does not mean that you will not be rewarded for your efforts in the future, on the contrary, if you have made outstanding contributions in the future, then a stake in the East India Company will be the best reward for you! ”
Beckett was overjoyed at first, but his brow furrowed when he heard that he would never be able to gain control of the land area.
The council's hand is not bad, if there is no land resources to supplement and support, then no matter how powerful his fleet is, it will be rootless duckweed after all, if there is a dissent, then his consequences will not be much better.
After all, the Parliament was the true master of the British dynasty in the Caribbean, and they would not allow themselves to be defeated.
But on the other hand, there are only a handful of talented people within the Royal Navy, and they need to use their talents for the greater good, so this decision was made.
After pondering it for some time, Beckett suddenly showed a mocking smile.
Since the eagle has wings, no matter how many restraints there are, one day, when the eagle's wings are tough enough, all the restraints will become a joke!
Don't worry, when you have full control of the navy, and have enough accumulation and preparation, then this council will no longer exist!
"Good! Thank you! Mather, follow me well, and I'm sure the results won't disappoint you! ”
Mather was overjoyed, and at the same time patted his chest very cleverly and promised:
"Lieutenant General, don't worry, you can lead the Armada to conquer everywhere, and leave the council side and logistics to me, I promise that there will be no trouble for you!"
"Hahaha, that's good! Then it's up to you, Ben is going to head to Port Royal, Norrington is a mess there, and Ben needs to get there to stabilize the situation sooner. ”
"Hehe, by the way, the council has already made a decision on Norrington's disposition, why don't you go to the council before you go, and bring the order with you by the way, so it will be convenient to act at that time."
"Well, just do as you say."
Greater Inagua.
After a warm feast, all the members of Hades' fleet gathered in one manor.
At this time, the sailors were all red and excited.
There is no doubt that their previous experiences will become a legend of the Caribbean, and they are part of this legend, which will be an infinite glory for them in the rest of their lives.
And being able to be warmly entertained by Nanwang Xiaofeng, one of the Nine Great Pirate Kings, made them even more excited, and many people even felt unreal;
I didn't expect that they were still confused about their livelihood one moment, but the next moment they would have such an imaginary life and treatment, how can this make them not excited?
Naturally, they all know very well who brought them all this.
Without him, they might still be living day by day, still like the walking dead......
Looking at the figure standing silently on the high platform, many people had a sense of worship and awe in their eyes, but the organic spirit suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere......
