Early the next morning.

As soon as it was dark, Governor Swan was violently awakened by the guards who were guarding him, and forcibly lifted him out of his cell and taken to the command room.

Lord Beckett was neatly dressed and clean, and he was playing with a beautiful longsword in his hand.

Beckett's deputy, Mather, stood aside with a cold face.

"The Governor brings." The two guards threw Governor Swan to the ground, saluted and turned away.

Governor Swan cursed secretly and struggled to his feet.

His current appearance is really miserable.

He was originally a civil official, and he was clothed and fed every day, where did he suffer such a crime?

After just a few days of detention, he no longer looked human, there was no wool curly wig on the top of his head, his hand-embroidered coat was stripped off, and the ring on his finger was also removed, leaving only a seal ring representing his identity.

Although the situation was a little worse, Governor Swan still stood with his head held high.

He said coldly to Beckett: "I am the legitimate overseas governor of the English Empire, and you have no right to detain me like this until the parliament has tried me!" My governorship is conferred upon her Majesty, and by insulting me like this, you are insulting Her Majesty's authority! ”

Beckett smiled faintly and continued to play with the saber in his hand.

"This sword is really beautifully made, especially this sword box, I'm afraid it's worth more than the sword itself, right?"

Beckett smiled faintly: "You spent so much money and effort to build all this, just to win over Brigadier General James, oh I'm sorry, it's a former brigadier general, you want to win him over to be your son-in-law, right?" ”

Governor Swan said coldly, "This is my private matter. ”

Beckett smiled: "It's a pity, James is not angry, he didn't win Elizabeth's heart, Elizabeth is such a good girl, she was actually abducted by a pirate, which caused Elizabeth to become a pirate, and you let Elizabeth go, you also violated the royal law." ”

Governor Swan said coldly, "I know, so according to the process, you should send me back to Wheeldun and let the parliamentary court try me, instead of putting a person of status like me in a filthy prison." Hmph, I'll definitely report this matter to the council! ”

Beckett smiled: "Governor Swan, I know that you have a lot of grievances in your heart now, and I also know that although you are not a nobleman, your ancestors are, you are in Lundun and in the council, you are quite an influential existence, once I send you back to Lundun according to the process, you will unite with the people of the council to deal with me and pull down me, a lord from a commoner's background, right?" Hehe, don't deny it, politics has always been an xenophobic war, you are the real aristocracy, the children of the nobility, and I, even if I can be promoted to duke in the future, you will not look at me squarely. Your class is full of arrogance towards the common people, you just want to hold the power in your own hands, but you refuse to give the common people the slightest chance. ”

Governor Swan sneered and said, "Don't you know how you climbed to the lord's position?" ”

Beckett said lightly: "Of course, it is my own efforts. ”

"You sell tobacco, black slaves, plunder people abroad, and your lordship is forged by the blood of others!" Governor Swan shouted a loud accusation.

Beckett was not angry, but said with a smile: "Tsk, what a sanctimonious remark, Governor Swan, when I see your appearance, I already think of how much the old men sitting in the council of Wheeldun despise me. ”

He shrugged his shoulders and put the Broken Water Sword back in its scabbard, "You can continue to despise me, but don't forget, the reason why you can sit in the council and drink tea without doing anything is because of people like me." You have enjoyed the wealth, money, and capital that I have brought you, and you still call me an executioner, don't you think that you have double standards? All people with double standards are either stupid or arrogant, and most of the time, stupidity and arrogance are closely linked. ”

"The fact that I am now knighted is proof that the Queen has approved of me, and that the Queen needs more of me, for her, for the British Empire, to scavenge for riches in the world and fight potential enemies. There are some countries whose history is older than our British Empire, and if you study their history carefully, you will find that they are actually stronger than us, but the Age of Discovery has created a natural opportunity for an island country like ours. Once those countries wake up, we will have no chance, so we must take advantage of this time to plunder them, strike at them, let them exterminate the species, if not, then let them not be able to turn over in the next 500 years. ”

"When all our potential enemies have been weakened by our blows, our British Empire can become a true empire on which the sun never sets."

“…… No. Governor Swan frowned and shook his head, "Our country shouldn't be like this. We...... We ......"

Beckett smiled faintly, "No wonder you have been the Governor of Port Royal for more than ten years, but you have not been promoted, because your vision is limited." There are so many resources in this world, whoever can grab it first is whoever, and whoever has the resources and wealth is a powerful empire, and whoever has the right to speak. ”

"But, in this case, won't we, the British Empire, make enemies all over the world?" Governor Swan said with a frown.

"Haha!" Beckett laughed and said, "Enemies? If you are not strong, you will have no enemies? No, as a country, you will always have enemies, and when you are not strong, someone will take the opportunity to bully you, and you want to avoid enemies by being polite and negotiating? It's just a joke. The relationship between people can still maintain a state of civilization, but the relationship between countries is naked oppression. If we are strong, we will have a say, as for those areas that we have plundered and colonized...... You can rest assured, as long as our rule there lasts for 100 years, then after 100 years, the descendants of the colonists will be attached to our strength, and they will even forget their ancestors. ”

Governor Swan was speechless for a moment.

He didn't think that people like Beckett were right, but he did feel that his vision and cognition were not as good as Beckett's.

Beckett can become a director of the East Indo Trading Company and a knight canonized by the queen as a commoner, and he can't do it without some real skills.
