Chapter 1414 Reorganization of the East India Company (Part 2)

The director of East India Company wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. Chu Yun was too direct and did not modify it at all.

The only way to seize the land rent right from the Indian princes is to launch a war, support, win over, and suppress those princes, so that they can willingly hand over the land rent, accept the protection of the East India Company, and use the hard-earned money from the people to support the East India Company!

"So I suggest that the East India Company should establish a war committee with the East India Expeditionary Army to be responsible for training mercenaries, alienating and winning over Indian princes, and deciding to start wars. The war committee is a binary system, and the governor and the dispatcher commander make final decisions at the same time. Only when the two have the same opinions can they start wars in East India. When the two have different opinions, they will report to the military headquarters and I will decide for myself." Chu Yun said.

The directors of the East India Company looked at each other, and one of them said: "We have neglected the war, and we will add this department to the report later."

"Of course, what I mean is not that we will immediately occupy the land rent rights of the Indian Peninsula, but as a clause in a war treaty. We should not expose our ambitions for the time being before the local mercenaries grow up. At the beginning, we can ask for less, and then slowly ask for more land rent. When they find out and resist, we will win over their enemies and alienate their generals. As long as people cannot starve to death, there will always be people who are willing to accept more harsh conditions... Don't let all Indian princes stand in front of us at the beginning." Chu Yun said.

"Mr. Master is really wise and powerful..." The people from the East India Company were sweating profusely.

They originally thought it would be ruthless enough to steal the other party's customs duties and invade the local market in large numbers, but Chu Yun did not even let go of the last job of the Indian princes.

"The East India Company will legally own two armed forces, Tuban mercenaries and armed merchant ship fleets. The size of Tuban mercenaries has expanded to 10,000 within three years. The armed merchant ship fleet has purchased 30 sail-armed merchant ships to complete tasks such as escort and patrol. The armed merchant ships will be purchased from the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Guangdong Shipyard, and will be equipped with 24 artillery pieces. The money will be temporarily provided by Kyushu Bank. In the future, the East India Company will be repaid with principal and interest after making a profit." The director said that the East India Company will establish its own military force within a reasonable range.

Although East India Company and Kyushu Bank are both government industries and are nothing more than transferring money from the left pocket to the right pocket, internal institutions still settle accounts clearly.

"Our military headquarters will add 700 new soldiers to the East India Expeditionary Force this year, train mercenaries for the East India Company, and take action when necessary." Chu Yun added.

In this way, three years later, the East India Company will have 1,000 regular soldiers and 10,000 Tumen mercenaries in Bangladesh, and there will be no problem even going deep into the hinterland to carry out an expedition!

"If the military department helps, it will be no difficult to conquer the princes and princes of the East India Company." Several directors of the East India Company felt that it was almost certain to make a decision.

Even the Mughal Emperor's army was defeated by an army of 3,500. Next, the East India mixed army with 11,000 people, how many princes can match it?

Later, everyone discussed other restructuring matters of the East India Company, involving the Governor, the candidates for managers from various places, the establishment of factories, and the construction of naval bases in Kolkata and Mumbai. These two naval bases are not only for the Fifth Fleet to be established in the future, but also the armed fleet of the East India Company can also be used.

This is just the reorganization plan of the first draft, but the issues discussed have already involved all aspects of the East India Company. An unprecedented huge company with plundering the resources of the South Asian subcontinent was born.

The reorganized East India Company partially extended the British governor system, but the power of the governor was reduced, and the real driving force behind it was the state machine.

This essential difference means that the East India Company is reborn. The East India Company is no longer a trading company organized by ordinary merchants, but is covered with the company's skin, but actually owns part of the state machine of the army.

The two British directors who were so-called can't make a single word throughout the process. The East India Company is already an industry of the Chinese government. They just come to supervise and ensure that the remaining 10% of their shares will be paid dividends normally. As long as the other party does not deprive them of the right to pay dividends, they will be willing to keep silent and let the major shareholders make trouble.

Although they had little say, they were forced to learn Chinese and listened to the huge reorganization plan of the East India Company and were shocked by such a plan.

"The new major shareholders are so crazy. They actually want to form such a large army in such a short time, and their army can easily conquer any Indian prince!" After the reorganization meeting, the two British directors left the venue, were still unbelievable.

The East India Company has only been sold for a few years. Although it has not made any money compared to before, its expansion has accelerated many times. It took them several years to complete what the East India Company could not have been able to do for decades or hundreds of years!

"Our local army is not sufficient, let alone maintaining such a large army in East India." One of the British directors sighed.

"They have a large population and are adjacent to East India. They really occupy the right time, place, people, and people. They cannot be compared." Another British director also sighed the same.

The two of them can only be mascots on the board of directors obediently. The growth of the East India Company is also a good thing for them, and they can share more dividends from the East India Company.

"I really didn't expect that in this era I personally created an East India company, and this new East India company is more amazing than the previous East India company." Chu Yun came out of the headquarters lobby of the East India company and personally created a monster, which is really hard to describe. A company that is more terrifying than the Mughal Empire appeared, and the Indian princes would have a hard time in the future.

When Chu Yun came out, it was already declining outside, so he spent a day reviewing the reorganization of the East India Company.

Ella was standing outside the headquarters lobby waiting for him, looking around as if bored, and when she saw Chu Yun coming out, she stepped forward.

"Why are you here?" Chu Yun said in surprise.

"Sir, I'll come to see you to report on your work." Ella said seriously.

"Stop, tell me if you have anything to do." Chu Yun's expression calmed down a lot.

"I'm really here to report on my work. The intelligence officers from the City of London have sent back the news."
