My life is up to me! Jackson, who figured it out, decided that he would no longer be willing to be a fish and a man, and he would control his own destiny, if not at the top of the world's power, at least to stand at the peak of the power of the British Empire.

However, in the face of the huge political power of the Queen and Duke Thomas, it is too difficult to realize his ambitions, and the only feasible way seems to be to get out of the barrel of a gun, after all, he has a powerful imperial expeditionary force in his hands. However, although he controls a powerful expeditionary force, the logistics allocation of the army is controlled by Parliament, and as the speaker of the upper house of Parliament, Duke Thomas has the right to veto all the budget of the House of Commons, so whether he wants to expand the army or win the hearts and minds of the people, it is definitely impossible to bypass the queen and Thomas through the financial allocation as a source of funding.

In fact, as for the problem of funds, even if he does not rely on financial allocation, Jackson can think of other ways, after all, as a duke, his family has a big business, and the wealth he has accumulated is actually very amazing, and if the ability to absorb money from various industries scattered throughout the empire can be improved, then the problem of money may not be an unsolvable problem, but it may need to be dormant for a period of time.

What really gives Jackson a headache is the source of weapons and equipment, the command and combat system and logistics support system of all the armies of the empire are separate and independent, the command and combat system is independently established and arranged by the supreme commander of each army, and the commander has great control over the army, and the logistics support system is responsible for an organization called the British Empire War Readiness and Munitions Department, which is financed by the Imperial Parliament and is subordinate to the Imperial Cabinet, but is directly under the control of the imperial monarch. In other words, although it is a department under the Imperial Cabinet, the Cabinet can only listen to its work reports, but cannot interfere with its normal operation, and this department is directly controlled by the Imperial Monarch.

Because of such a special and somewhat strange set of rights, the imperial monarch can firmly control the various imperial teams. Because of the existence of this department, it is responsible for the procurement of materials, equipment production, and salaries for all the armies of the empire, and the army only needs to be responsible for fighting wars, so if Jackson wants to make a difference, he must solve the problem of logistics support, especially the problem of the source of weapons.

It is not particularly difficult to build an arsenal, but it is difficult to build an arsenal without knowing it, first of all, according to the laws of the empire, Duke Jackson does not have any qualifications and rights to build an arsenal, and secondly, there are many queens and Duke Thomas in the empire, and it is too difficult to avoid them.

So only in the overseas territories of the empire to look for opportunities, just like that, Paradise Island came into the sight of Duke Jackson.

Paradise Island is far away from the mainland of the empire, and there are no other national forces around the archipelago, so it can be said that it is isolated overseas, if an arsenal is built there, as long as the secrecy measures are appropriate, there should be no leakage problem, and Paradise Island is a newly discovered overseas island, and the forces of the Queen and Thomas have not infiltrated it, and it is relatively easy to arrange a trustworthy subordinate to be closely guarded there, and it is relatively easy to achieve absolute security.

When Jackson personally inspected Paradise Island, he was also surprised to discover the existence of our group, and through simple contact and the intelligence gathered by Sandro's eyeliner, we did not belong to this world.

While Jackson doesn't know if we're going through the same story as he is, he's sure that we don't live according to a storybook. Jackson couldn't tell if we were friend or foe, and he couldn't tell if we would have other special identities, so he didn't dare to have a showdown with us easily, so he could only arrange for Sandro to spy on us first.

If our group is willing to cooperate with him, with the advantage of knowledge reserves, it will be easier to realize his ambitions and dreams, but if our group of people also have their own plans and ideas, then it will be a big threat to him, so Jackson tried all kinds of ways to test our true thoughts, intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, we still don't know about Jackson's various experiences and his ambitions and dreams, but I'm just sure that Jackson's memories have not been affected by the memory transformation program, and I also know that he has an ulterior secret in the depths of Paradise Island, and we are like two originally parallel lines, slowly changing the direction of operation and gradually intertwining together.

In Paradise Island, all the unexpected hustle and bustle has calmed down, after I arranged Ding Ying, I first went to the clinic to find An An, I want to know if James is still possible to recover, after all, without his cover help, even if he no longer trades with the pirates of the Golden Islands, there will be some scruples about doing other things, but when I arrived at the clinic, An An told me that early in the morning, Sandro arranged for someone to escort James back to the empire.

"It just happened yesterday, and today Sandro sent James back home, what kind of calculation did the grandson make?"

"There shouldn't be any other conspiracy, right? James will definitely not be able to recover from the medical environment on Paradise Island, and there may be a little hope of being sent back to the mainland, Sandro probably also hopes that through this move, the empire will quickly send a new governor over, after all, after yesterday, he should also find that this governor is not good. ”

"I just don't know who the new governor will be, and it would be annoying if someone as annoying as Sandro is."

"You're thinking too much, I guess no one will want to come to Paradise Island to be this governor for a while." An An and I were chatting casually, and Michael suddenly came over and interjected.

"What do you mean? Is an imperial island governor so unattractive? I asked, puzzled.

"The position of Governor of the Empire's islands will certainly be appealing, but the governors of Paradise Island may be excluded."

"What happened to the Governor of Paradise Island? Although it is a newly developed overseas island, it is also the territory of the Empire, and as it slowly develops, it will not be worse than other overseas territories. ”

"What you said doesn't matter, the important thing is that this is too far away from the empire itself, and coming here to be a governor will basically end your political career, after all, those imperial tycoons who are far away from home, who would consider promoting another governor of a distant territory? In addition, the abolition of slavery on Paradise Island and the presence of a large number of Protestants are all factors of instability, and may one day cause the same problems as yesterday, and the previous governor has just been assassinated, do you think the new governor is also worried? ”

"Then according to your opinion, the position of the governor of this paradise island will always be vacant?"

"That's not going to happen, if the empire forcibly appoints them, even if there are 10,000 people who are assigned, they have to go to the post head-on, but the empire may also understand that the twisted melon is not sweet, so they must hope that someone can take the initiative to recommend themselves."

"Self-recommendation?" I looked at Michael and asked him in disbelief, "Don't you tell, you're going to recommend yourself to the Empire?" ”

"Oh, that's certainly not going to happen," said Michael, shaking his head very firmly, "I'm not interested in politics, I just want to be a respected doctor, but a friend of mine should be interested, and I've written to him about the current situation on Paradise Island, and suggested that he go to Mao Sui and recommend himself."
