Chapter 196: West Indies CEO Colludes with Pirates of the Caribbean
In Galidi, the West India Company also obtained a small concession.
In a Western-style building, the top executives of the West India Company were gathering for a meeting.
West India Company has tens of thousands of employees.
The person who chaired the meeting was Aaron, the CEO of West Indies and also a director of the company.
Aaron was born into a noble family and was appointed to the lucrative position of executive officer after a fierce struggle.
Aaron is very conscious of his identity.
He looked around and said, "The warning letter to Da Zhou has been sent out. Do you gentlemen have any other ideas?"
Having just taken this hot seat, Aaron did not allow himself to make mistakes right out of the gate.
Although before coming to India, the English side had always asked Aaron not to conflict with the Eastern great power, Da Zhou.
But I am an executive of West India Company. Is it wrong for me to protect the interests of the company?
England is now in high spirits.
Having defeated its arch-enemy, the Dutch Navy, England was still immersed in the joy of victory.
The failure of Dahe's Far East campaign against Dazhou was regarded as the decline of Dahe.
Aaron now has tens of thousands of employees under his command, so of course he is not afraid of the people of the Great Zhou.
His main job is to safeguard the interests of the West India Company.
Aaron's assistant, Chilco, who is also a director of the company, said worriedly:
"Executive Officer, our ships in India are not strong enough to fight against the fleet of Da Zhou!"
The West India Company owned many large ships, but most of them were merchant ships.
There were only thirty or so ships capable of combat.
Tang Yan’s fleet now has more than fifty ships!
Aaron said: "Don't worry about this, I have already contacted the Pirates of the Caribbean!"
Everyone took a deep breath immediately.
Caribbean is an island country, isolated outside India.
The mainstream religion in India now is Hinduism.
But the Caribbean still practices Buddhism.
Many Christians who were persecuted in India fled to the Caribbean.
The population of the Caribbean gradually increased, and one island could not meet the population needs, so a very ancient profession was born in the Caribbean: piracy.
Although there are many devout Buddhists in the Caribbean, it does not prevent them from looting merchant ships passing by.
Of course, for the pirates in the Caribbean, no matter where the merchant ships are from, any merchant ships that pass by them will be blackmailed.
The Pirates of the Caribbean are considered to be the more rampant pirates around Indy.
When the English caravans first arrived in India, they were often robbed by the Caribbeans.
Later, in order to protect merchant ships, the West India Company purchased a batch of retired warships and hired a group of retired royal navy to protect the company's merchant ships.
Chilco looked at Aaron in shock.
Pirates of the Caribbean remain a threat to the West Indies Company.
I didn't expect that in order to deal with the people of Da Zhou, Aaron could actually persuade these pirates to take action. I don't know what price he paid.
Aaron continued, "All the warships and armed merchant ships in the Caribbean are assembled."
"As long as the fleet of Da Zhou wants to dock at the port of Yindi, we will start to warn and expel them."
"Indy can only be our English colony!"
"This is the jewel in the crown of our English royal family. We must not lose it!"
Although Aaron spoke righteously, everyone present understood that he did not want to lose the power of the West Indies Company.
The people of the Great Zhou have already taken control of Southeast Asia, the Kingdom of Thailand and Dai Viet, and the influence of the Great Zhou has extended to the continent of South Asia.
If merchants from the Great Zhou were really allowed in, the competitiveness of English merchants would be lost.
The main commodity of the English is foreign cloth.
The so-called foreign cloth is cloth woven from cotton.
England had already begun using machinery to mass-produce cotton cloth.
Cheap and high-quality foreign cloth quickly defeated local textile workshops in India.
More English goods, such as kettles and matches, also flowed into the Indian market.
Although Indians are poor, India is rich in spices.
England also obtained exclusive operating rights, and only English businessmen could enter and leave India.
The world's three main spice producing areas.
They are the areas controlled by Turkey.
Nanyang and Indy.
Of course, Turkey will not allow the British to do business in the areas now controlled by it.
Nanyang was also under the control of the Great Zhou.
The market prices of spices in Western countries continue to rise.
This profitable business is the foundation of the West India Company.
More than half of the company's revenue comes from this trade.
Of course Aaron will defend Indy to the death.
Aaron also had another idea. If the pirate ships could defeat Da Zhou, then England could attack Da Zhou and open up Da Zhou's market!
If the mysterious ancient oriental country could really be opened up, what a huge market it would be!
Oriental porcelain, tea and silk are all best-sellers in the West!
If he can accomplish this feat, Aaron will be able to take control of the entire West India Company and become the chairman of the group!
You can get high dividends in England and live a superior life.
Assistant Chilco asked, "Should we call on the Indians to fight together?"
Aaron said: "Of course, it would be best to let India and Da Zhou have a personal feud, so that we don't have to do anything, the Indians will boycott Da Zhou themselves."
Assistant Chirko nodded in understanding.
The English are old rotten rats!
The English were able to occupy Galidi by provoking conflicts with the Indian royal family, which enabled them to obtain this leased land.
Although India has only one king, local kings and tribal chiefs still firmly control the area.
The fragmented state of India is even worse than that of the Yuhang area of the Great Zhou.
It was also through the disagreements among the local kings that the English took control of many ports.
Now they plan to use the same trick on India and Da Zhou.
It would be best if the Indians could voluntarily boycott the people of Da Zhou, so that Da Zhou would not be able to trade with India.
The integrated English ships are planning to have a big battle with Tang Yan’s navy!
But the Great Zhou fleet did not arrive as expected.
Because the rainy season has arrived in the South Indian Ocean.
The temperature in Indy is very warm, with only two seasons a year: the rainy season and the dry season.
Now the rainy season has begun. The sea is rough and the sun has not been seen for several days.
So Tang Yan made a decisive decision to temporarily withdraw to the port of Wanggang, Thailand, and set off again after the situation stabilized.
The integrated fleet of England waited on the sea for three days but did not receive the fleet of the Great Zhou.
In the end, Aaron could no longer bear the loss and had to order the fleet to be disbanded.
It was also because of this storm that England's conspiracy with the Caribbean pirates and its plan to launch a surprise attack on the governor of the Great Zhou was exposed.
"These Westerners are so bold that they actually plotted a surprise attack on our Great Zhou fleet!"
Tang Yan said angrily.
Assistant Chen Chi said: "The warning letter sent by the English is my ultimatum. I didn't expect that these English people would go to war with the Great Zhou in order to protect their interests in India!"
