Perhaps because he had heard a lot of praise, Prince Charles obviously didn't feel much about my words, and he said to me: "Paradise Island is very far away from the mainland of the empire, and it is inseparable from the efforts of businessmen like you to develop, only when commerce develops, other things on the island can develop with it, I hope that the next time I come, your distillery will be larger than now, and I hope that you can drink your rum everywhere in the empire in the future." ”

I smiled and said, "We will work hard to live up to the high expectations of His Royal Highness the Prince." We have prepared a batch of rum, and we hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will help us bring it back to promote it. ”

"You're pretty good at business, and you know how to lend us to help you promote it, but that's no problem. By the way, I heard Governor James say that you can also ride a horse? This Island Games also signed up for equestrian competitions? ”

"Horseback riding?" I looked at James in disbelief, is this grandson in a bad brain? Where does Lao Tzu know how to ride a horse?

"Yes, Your Royal Highness the Prince, our Manager Han's equestrian skills are quite good, but if you compare to you, it must still be bad." James winked at me and said with a flattering expression.

"My equestrian skills are also very average, I just like to ride horses. Since Mr. Han is also good at equestrianism, it is time for the competition to compete. ”

I nodded awkwardly as I kept looking at James, who didn't dare to look me in the eye and deliberately dodged.

Prince Charles looked around the distillery and left satisfied, and went to the tobacco company next door, surrounded by everyone.

When Prince Charles was gone, Rockefeller asked me, "Manager, do you still ride horses?" How come I've never seen you ride? ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head and said, "I'm a fart, if I have to say I've ridden it, does the merry-go-round I rode on when I was a kid count?" ”

"That's strange, if you can't ride a horse, then why does Governor James have to say you can? If Prince Charles found out that you couldn't ride a horse at all, wouldn't he be to blame as well? Rockefeller asked, puzzled.

yes, I'm also curious, what the hell is this grandson of James doing? Did he want me to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Prince Charlie? But the problem is that I really can't ride a horse, won't this horse be exposed as soon as it is pulled out? Besides, what's the benefit of me having a good relationship with Prince Charlie? Everyone knows that Prince Charles is not interested in the throne at all, so could it be that after I have a relationship with him, I should go to explore art and life?

At Russell's house on the island, Big Bear and the others were gathering together to discuss things, and Russell said to everyone: "According to the current news, Powers' power is expanding rapidly, and they plan to make a little noise when the Island Games open, and the main target is Prince Charlie. ”

Eve asked, "Prince Charlie?" But why are they targeting Prince Charles? If it is discovered, it will bring ruin to the Protestants on the island? ”

Russell said: "Now that the queen is old, it may be within two years that she will step down from the throne, and once Prince William comes to the throne, the Protestants will have a hard time." If the current queen is still blind to most of the Protestant behavior, then Prince William's dislike and rejection of Protestants is well known. ”

But even so, what can the Protestants do to stop this? Do they want to put a pro-Protestant prince on the throne? According to the empire's succession law, even if Prince William can't ascend the throne, the second in line should be Prince Charlie, do they want Prince Charles to support them, and then put Prince Charles on the throne? Eve asked, puzzled.

"No matter which prince ascends the throne, no one side will be allowed to break away from his jurisdiction, and the current white-robed bishops and blue-robed bishops are all from the royal family, and it is almost impossible for Protestants to realize their claims." Russell said.

As soon as Russell's voice fell, Da Xiong continued: "Brother Luo is right, no regime will allow a completely independent religious system to exist within its own scope, nothing can be higher than the state power, even if religion does not need to be reduced to a tool of the regime, at least it must be subject to a certain constraint by the state power. But there is a circumstance that can fulfill the dream of the Protestants, and that is to establish a **** state power. ”

"The state power of ****?" Russell frowned and asked Big Bear, "What is ****?" ”

Da Xiong cleared his throat and said slowly: "The so-called **** refers to a political system in which state power and religious clerical power are combined, the leader of the political power and the leader of religion are the same person, and the political power and religious power are held by the same person. State laws are based on the doctrine of religion, which is the norm for handling all civil affairs, in other words, the state power is the priority to serve religion, and religious clerical power is above all else. ”

Russell asked, "Then you mean that Powers wants to overthrow the British Empire and create a whole new country?" It's unlikely, right? Not to mention the strength of the British Empire, even those Protestants also have disagreements, and most people probably don't want to take this step, right? ”

Big Bear said: "Once Powers and they rise up in the name of Protestants, then the Protestants will be in a dilemma, if they go with the flow, they will definitely be ruthlessly suppressed by the empire, bloodshed and sacrifice will definitely be inevitable, but if they don't go with the flow, even if Bowles and they fail, all Protestants will definitely be implicated." Moreover, as you say, Prince William himself was very disgusted with the Protestants, and if he came to power and acted excesses, the Protestants might be forced to join Bowers. As for the strength of the British Empire, Powers and they may not need to build a country as large as the British Empire, they can just need this paradise island, although paradise island is also part of the territory of the empire, once independent, it may be retaliated by the empire, but if you think about it again, if the empire can drive out those hated Protestants, or leave without driving them out, then isn't it too expensive to sacrifice a distant island? ”

Russell nodded, "What you said makes sense, if Paradise Island becomes the **** country in your mouth, and the Protestants rule here, then the other Protestants of the empire will definitely come one after another, and then the rest of the empire will be quiet, and a distant island that is still in the development stage will not be so reluctant." ”

"Also, if Paradise Island is in chaos and its economy stagnates, will the Empire be more determined?" Big Bear added.

"So Powers, they're going to target Prince Charles first and create chaos? Wouldn't that be too risky? After all, he is the prince of the empire, even if they want to cause chaos, they can completely pick James? ”

Big Bear shook his head, "I don't think so, I think Prince Charlie is the best choice." A prince who is not interested in politics and has no power to attach to is the best target. ”

After listening to Big Bear's words, Russell stood up and paced back and forth in the room, he thought and thought and then asked Big Bear, "Then what do you think we should do next?" We must not let Bowers influence our plans! ”

"Act on the spot, see the stitches! We can let Powers and them create chaos, but we must not let them turn chaos into unending! ”

After the bear finished speaking, Russell and the others dispersed to arrange preparations, and no one noticed that Aya also left quietly.
