Chapter 84 Local Coping Strategies【Please recommend, collect and invest】

Rey nodded indifferently. At this time, Rey's purpose and intention began to be revealed to the outside world because of his many actions.

Although those politicians and scholars were unable to determine whether the speculation that the Rhodes family wanted to dominate one side was true or false.

But sometimes just a guess can have a big impact, and coupled with conflicts of interest, some politicians continue to advocate it.This topic became very popular among the upper class society and had a great negative impact on the Rhodes family.

Although the royal family has the desire to marry, if the differences and conflicts of interests are too great.They will still choose interests, and the king and queen cannot control everything with one hand. They must also consider the kingdom.

"Father, when I return to my hometown this time, I will get married to Amelia as soon as possible and try my best to reduce the pressure from all aspects..."

Rey couldn't help but feel worried, rubbed his brows, and spoke slowly to his father, Marquis Moraits.

Rey knew that as his power continued to expand, he would eventually face local pressure. After all, the interests of the family and the kingdom were in conflict.

However, due to various reasons, Rey will not be able to directly gain independence from his mother country for nearly ten years, because there are too many things and interests involved.

If compared in detail, the situation of the current Rhodes family and the East India Company of China are very similar.

Both have the characteristics of a "state" in the colony, can independently control the governance of the colony, possess formidable and threatening military power, and also possess unique rights and monopoly positions.

Like the East India Company, it was granted by the King and Parliament the right to autonomously occupy territory, mint coinage, command forts and armies, form alliances and declare war, make peace treaties, and conduct civil and criminal proceedings in occupied areas.

The East India Company's enemies include commercial competitors, hostile countries and domestic hostile forces, so it needs more protection rights, and the right to engage in military operations is therefore very important to the company.

The Rhodes family conducts colonial rule based on traditional aristocratic territory and has similar rights to the East India Company.

However, due to the different natures of the two, the audiences of their interests are also different, resulting in very large differences in the treatment of the two.

The majority of vested interests in Rupert's territory are the Rhodes family, while the smaller ones are the royal family, and the rest can only eat soup.

Because the East India Company was a joint-stock company, its audience was very large, including nobles, kings, capitalists, and parliaments... In addition to its long history, it also had many allies in parliament.

However, what makes Rey feel gratified is that the Rhodes family and the East India Company still have very common interests.

That is, the constant battle between Congress, which wanted to make itself a permanent installation, and the colonial bloc, which wanted to seize any opportunity to appropriate the wealth of the colonist bloc without allowing it to gain greater autonomy. .

Both of them relied on the strong military strength of their mother country to achieve such achievements. You can imagine the tragic experience after leaving the support of their mother country...

Well~ there is also a common enemy, the French people, and there is room for maneuver...

"Father, how is the war between the East India Company and the French going?"

Rey asked her father while tapping the table and thinking.

"You mean... the Bombay War? It's over. Without the assistance of the Portuguese, I'm afraid the East India Company would have lost to the Marathas... I heard that there are French people here, I don't know. True or false..."

"Whether it's true or not, it's good news for us... By the way, father, we have a lot of shares in the East India Company, right? Can we make an appointment with the person in charge of the East India Company's Fog City to have an afternoon of drinks together? Tea..." "East India Company, let me think about it... this was ten years ago. I remember that during the stock market bubble, you sold high and bought low, and you got 7% ​​of the shares..."

Marquis Morais put down the black tea in his hand, thought about it for a while, slowly recalled it, and thought to Rey with some doubts.

"Well, we have a lot of common interests with the East India Company... Since we are the major shareholders, we need to strengthen our alliance..."

Rey slowly told his father, the Marquis of Moretz, his plans, and then said: "Father, our relationship with Robert Walpole needs to continue to be strengthened this year, and we need his support in Congress..."

"Also, prepare a generous gift for the king and queen as a New Year's gift. As for those blind clowns and stubborn die-hards, I will make them feel the true truth in this world..."

A biting coldness was revealed from Rey's words. Seeing Rey's understatement, Marquis Morais also knew Rey's plan.

However, Marquis Morais did not dissuade him. After all, the Rhodes family's long-term peace may have given others the wrong impression. Now it is time to show off his sharp edge and cut off those claws that should not be extended...

Only bloody cruelty can deter the peeping of wild beasts and win corresponding status and development time for oneself.

"Yeah~, I know. Rey, do you need to withdraw your uncle after your wedding next year? It's not good to keep their family separated like this, not to mention that our place has developed well..."

Marquis Molec nodded and said that he was already familiar with these things. Then he changed his mind and said to Rey.

"Well, that's right, father. It's time to reunite their family. From now on, our focus will be entirely on the colony. As for Plymouth's hometown, we can just replace it with a qualified private slave..."

The lights in the room were bright all night, and Rey and his son were thinking hard about the further development of the family, discussing various situations and solutions...

…………

In the vast sky, the brilliance of the setting sun filled the entire field of vision, and the thick clouds were rendered fiery red, with a black spot undulating in it.

The vast Western Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, and is filled with vast oceans of water. Only occasionally can you see a few black sails and white glaciers to break the boring blue.

Marquis Molec and Haled looked at the scenery flashing under the clouds in amazement, exclaiming and discussing from time to time. After several rides, they were able to accept and enjoy this convenient mode of transportation. .

Rey looked at the destination not far away on the map navigation, and slowly controlled the flight attitude of the aircraft in preparation for landing.

Due to the Rhodes family's big moves in the colony and Rey's purpose of returning to the homeland, the Rhodes family's old house in Plymouth received great attention.

Around the old house and the residence in Fog City, there were countless people watching overtly and covertly, so it was destined that Rey would not be able to rush back so blankly this time.

Therefore, Rey also has additional arrangements for this return plan, preparing to be surprised, caught off guard, and win more chips.
