Chapter 178 Please Call Me A Cake Painter
At a certain moment, Rorschach even doubted whether his ears had heard it wrong.

However, after he reconfirmed, he realized that he had heard correctly.

The reason why Torres wrote to invite himself to meet was because he wanted to recruit himself!

To be precise, Torres hoped that Rorschach would lead the entire pirate republic to surrender to Spain as the leader of the pirates.

At that time, Torres will let the King of Spain appoint him as the Governor of the Bahamas to bring order and peace to the pirate-ridden Bahamas Islands.

Sounds wonderful.

After a wave of whitewashing, you can also change your body, from a notorious pirate to the Governor of the Bahamas who exists like a local emperor.

If Rorschach was just an ordinary pirate in this world, he might be happy to accept it.

But he is not!

He is a person who travels through the heavens with a system plug-in!

Once Nassau surrenders to any country, the mission "The Fate of Nassau" will fail.

Not only the [-] game points rewarded by the mission, but also the many efforts he has put in during this period of time will also be in vain.

Moreover, real examples in history warn Rorschach that recruiting security is never a good thing!
After recruiting, if the higher-ups wanted his life, it would be a matter of minutes.

Only a fool would entrust his life in the hands of others!
Therefore, Rorschach was absolutely unwilling to this request.

However, if he rejected Torres, he would certainly lose the trust of the Knights Templar.

Various thoughts emerged in his mind, and after thinking twice, Rorschach finally decided to make a fool of himself and stabilize the Knights Templar first.

He first expressed his willingness to contribute to the Knights Templar.

However, when the topic changed, he also began to talk about his own difficulties.

For example, although he looks like the leader of the pirates.

But with his current control over the Pirate Republic, it is not enough for him to do this.

Once he offered to surrender to Spain, the other pirate captains would definitely object and even vote him out of office.

Therefore, he very much needs the strong support of the Knights Templar, such as enough silver coins.

As long as enough money is used to attract enough pirate captains, he can hand over the Bahamas to these people.

After drawing the big cake, Luo Xia did not forget to draw a small cake:

"As long as I completely control the Pirate Republic, the possibility of getting news from the saints will also increase greatly. At that time, we can find the legendary observatory and realize the great ideal of the church for so many years!"

Although something doesn't feel right.

However, I have to say that Luo Xia's words are well-founded.

Torres can't really fault him either.

After stroking his gray beard and thinking for a while, Torres was still convinced.

Money is nothing to the Knights Templar that has lasted for thousands of years.

What they really want is to control the power of the whole world!
And in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to find the saint, find the observatory!

Therefore, as long as there is any chance to find the saint, Torres is willing to try...

. . .

Meeting with Torres in Havana, Rorschach not only cleverly solved the Spaniard's coveted pirate republic, but also won a large amount of financial support from the Knights Templar.

After that, the Pirate Republic ushered in a short but prosperous period of development.

In just six months, the Bahamas once again built three fortresses and multiple docks for pirate ships to berth.

The population and size of the entire Nassau also more than tripled.

At the same time, the pirates not only made waves in the Caribbean, but also extended their hands to the major colonies in North America and the Indian Ocean.

Under Rorschach's organization, several combined pirate fleets set off from Nassau in the Bahamas to the coast of West Africa to plunder the ocean-going fleets returning from the Indian Ocean.

The reason why the Indian Ocean fleet became the target is because the trade value of the Indian region has surpassed that of Europe, and silk and spices have become the most sought-after commodities in the market.

Furthermore, due to the intervention of the Mughal Empire in the Indian Ocean region, Arabia and East Africa, northern India, and southern India were divided into three non-aggressive trade circles.

It is precisely because of mutual non-aggression that the troops invested by European countries in this region are very weak.

This is convenient for the pirate hyenas who come smelling wealth.

The helpless large cargo ships loaded with silk and spices, like plates of delicious curry meals, were chewed up by the pirates one after another, eaten into their stomachs, and vomited out a full belch.

However, the good times did not last long.

With the expansion of the pirate republic and the increasingly rampant piracy, the maritime trade activities of European countries have been affected to a certain extent.

Among them, the British lost the most and were the most aggrieved.

Because, since the rule of "not attacking British ships" was abolished, what pirates like to plunder most is ships flying the British flag!
Perhaps the psychology of pirates is like a spring.

The harder you press it, the higher and harder it will bounce when you release it.

Things that could not be done before can suddenly be done now, and they suddenly become worse.

What's more, who told you that Britain's maritime trade is developed, and there are a large number of merchant ships, which are the easiest targets to encounter at sea.

If you don't rob you, who will you rob? !

The arrogant pirates even alarmed the King George who couldn't speak English and didn't care about anything at all.

You know, the founding monarch of the Hannover Dynasty stayed in Hanover, Germany all year round, and only relied on the cabinet and Congress to manage the huge country remotely.

It is conceivable how powerful the Pirate Republic is!

The first thing he did when he returned to London from Hanover, King George summoned several cabinet ministers at that time.

Among them was Robert Walpole, the future first British Prime Minister.

This Whig leader is still thinking about the grievance that his cousin was killed by the pirate leader Rorschach, and he can't wait to send all those damned pirates to the gallows.

New and old grudges added up, and he mentioned Woods Rogers, a master of pirate management, and his proposed plan to the King.

After some deliberations, the next day, King George I of England decided to accept the cabinet's suggestion, appointing Woods Rogers as Governor of the Bahamas, and ordered him to deal with the pirates in the Bahamas.

At the same time, the British government also began to release news of pardons in the Caribbean, thereby dividing the pirates.

The content of the pardon only gave the pirates two choices.

Either accept the king's pardon, and all the crimes committed in the past will be written off;

Or, if you don't accept the pardon, you will bear the wrath of the British Royal Fleet.

And the first to bear the brunt, of course, is the Pirate Republic in Nassau, Bahamas!
