Chapter 4516 4518 [A mess]

"It's really a mess out there right now. Things are changing so fast that I don't know what to do." Governor Weatherby said helplessly to Xiang Nan.

Today, the Caribbean has changed dramatically. In addition to St. Lucia, there are many other regions such as Cuba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago. The local black slaves and native whites are increasingly dissatisfied with the rulers and have risen up to protest.

They united to drive away the local colonists and chose to be independent. Even Europe was in chaos, so he was worried that he would be overthrown by the islanders at any time.

"Don't worry, you have such a high prestige in Royal Port that the people will not rise up against you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Besides, with me protecting you, no one can hurt you."

"But as for the British side... once the royal family is destroyed... what should we do?" Governor Weatherby said worriedly.

Now, the middle and lower class people in Britain have taken advantage of the opportunity of the British king sending troops to the European continent to start making trouble in Britain.

Most of the British King George II's troops were fighting in Europe and could not go back to suppress the rebellion at once. As a result, the rebels quickly grew in size. It is said that they have captured many places, and it is hard to say whether they will overthrow the British king's rule.

He was originally the Governor of Port Royal appointed by the King of England, which was a legitimate position. But if the King of England was overthrown, how could he have any legitimacy as the Governor?

And since none of it is legal, how can he still be the governor? Are the decrees he issues still meaningful? Will anyone obey them?

"If Britain really turns the tables, you will be the king of Jamaica." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. You have my support, so are you still afraid of a turn of events?"

"But we also have the Goddess Church here. Will those members cause trouble here?" Weatherby's heart still couldn't settle down.

Port Royal has an army, but only about 300 people. The population of Port Royal is as high as 100,000 people, and almost all of them are believers of the Goddess Church.

If they really rebel, three hundred soldiers will not be enough. When a hundred thousand people rush in, they will be turned into meat paste.

And he, the governor, will not be spared and will definitely be hanged on the gallows by the people.

"Don't worry. They are rebelling against tyranny and oppression. Our Royal Port has always been free and the taxes are reasonable. They have no reason to rebel." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled. "And I have been paying close attention to the movements of the Goddess Church on the island. I haven't found that they are stockpiling weapons and ammunition, so I think it will be fine at least in the short term."

He is the priest of the Royal Port Goddess Church. As long as he does not organize the believers to revolt, the believers will not revolt. He certainly will not rebel against himself, so Royal Port will be safe.

"That's good. I'll leave everything to you, James." Governor Weatherby finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The Goddess Church started a rebellion in Europe. From Britain to France, from Spain to Portugal, from Germany to Austria... people were fighting everywhere.

This put the warring European powers in a dilemma: they wanted to cease fire and send troops back to quell the rebellion, but the two sides could not reach an agreement on the terms. If they did not send troops back to quell the rebellion, the fire in the backyard would spread to the front yard.

The key point is that many lower-level soldiers are members of the Goddess Church. Not only do they fight passively, they even turn against their own side in the battle. In addition, many middle and upper-level officers and nobles have been assassinated, making the situation even more chaotic.

After Europe fell into chaos, it had no time to take care of other things, which made the resistance in the colonies of Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, South America, and the Caribbean more and more intense and difficult to contain. At this time, the thirteen states of North America raised the banner of independence, equality, and freedom. With the strong support of the Goddess Church, they repelled the British colonists and successfully won independence. After that, the United States of America was born.

Subsequently, at the request of the Goddess Church, the United States sent troops to Mexico and Canada in the name of rescuing "other oppressed brothers and sisters" to help the Goddess Church believers there resist the local colonists.

The people of Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador in South America also won victory in their fight against the rule of the colonists.

Australia, Southeast Asia and India in Asia, Mozambique, Angola, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Ivory Coast and other places in Africa have also fought back, and the battle is still going on.

Amazon women warriors were present in all the battles. They charged ahead in every battle, bringing infinite confidence to the believers.

It is for this reason that these female warriors have become so popular.

……

In the Caribbean, many islands such as Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, Grenada have declared independence.

Governor Weatherby was worried about this and took the initiative to find Xiang Nan and asked, "How about we declare independence and change the governor system to a theocratic system? I just don't know if it's too late for me to convert to Christianity now?"

After the earliest colony of Saint Lucia became independent, the local black slaves and native whites chose a theocratic system, with the priests of Saint Lucia serving as heads of state, in charge of both religion and administration.

However, this is only suitable for island countries like Saint Lucia, which not only have a small population, but also a single religion. Most people on the island believe in the Goddess Church, and those who do not believe are either killed or exiled.

Although the United States of America gained independence with the strong support of the Goddess Church, in addition to the believers of the Goddess Church, there are also a large number of Christians in the country.

It is not appropriate to implement a system of combining politics and religion in such a country, so they adopted a federal system. Each state has the right to make its own laws, recruit its own army, hire its own officials, and even choose its own state religion.

For example, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland and other coastal states that rely mainly on ocean trade and fishing have a majority of believers in the Goddess Church, so they established the Goddess Church as their state religion.

The countries that later gained independence from colonies basically all took these two forms, either a theocratic system or a federal system.

Xiang Nan didn't care much about this and didn't intervene. After all, his purpose was just to recruit more believers, and he didn't care about the national system at all.

Jamaica is a small island. In addition to Port Royal, there are dozens of farms and several villages where fishermen gather.

The total population of Port Royal, the farms and the small fishing village is only about 120,000. Most of them are believers of the Church of the Goddess, and there are also a few believers of the Monkey God Cult, Voodoo and Christianity.

So according to Governor Weatherby's idea, he planned to join the Goddess Church and then peacefully transfer power to the priests of the church in exchange for the other party's promise to ensure the safety of them, his daughter, Xiang Nan and others.

After all, these are all he really cares about now.

"I don't think it's urgent. Let's see the situation first." Xiang Nan saw this and calmed him down, saying, "Even if you want to surrender, the other party must extend an olive branch first. Otherwise, how can you negotiate terms with them?"
