Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 253 253He doesn’t like me

The life of luxury and luxury can be seen everywhere in Bunas. Everything here is so novel and so attractive.

Tang Mo has produced 100,000 rails in the past, including those produced in Longdao, Bunas, Beiling and other places.

These rail tracks have laid more than 800 kilometers of railway, and some are used for spare replacement and maintenance.

Of course, there are still some rails in transit, so these rails have not yet become railways and are not counted.

 Among them, the total length of railways in the Kingdom of Leyte is the largest, with a total length of more than 470 kilometers, accounting for more than half of the total railway mileage.

This includes the railways from Bunas to Beiling, Beiling to Ice Crystal City, and Bunas to Royal City that have not yet been connected.

In addition, there is a railway in Longdao, which is also under construction, but the kilometers are not that many.

Except for the railway from Bunas to Wolf City and then to Ice Crystal City that has been connected, all the remaining railways have not been connected, and the costs have not been recovered.

Tang Mo's warships have just gone south, and some new warships have not yet been completed. The benefits of the advance deployment of attacking the Tarun Kingdom have not yet been recovered.

The transfer of the telegraph office has just been completed, and there is still some confusion in the management. With so many problems happening at the same time, even Tang Mo's Datang Group feels a little overwhelmed.

 In the past year, Datang Group has spread a lot of dandelions, which has also led to a somewhat empty situation internally, and a slight feeling that there is a lack of management talents.

 In addition, the Datang Group has been controlling the number of its private armies. Compared with its expanded factory scale, its armed forces have obviously not been strengthened much.

Just when Tang Mo was exchanging glasses with several celebrities in the fashion circle at the cocktail party, the special envoy from the Wright Kingdom hurried into the hall and found Tang Mo socializing in the crowd.

"Sir, I hope you can talk to me alone." The special envoy looked at the people around Tang Mo and lowered his voice.

Tang Mo could hear the other party's nervousness from his tone, so he nodded to a few people around him, said thank you, and raised his hand to signal the special envoy of the Kingdom of Wright to follow.

The two of them came to a lounge next to the hall. Several guests who were kissing here shyly avoided Tang Mo and hurriedly left the room.

Wes closed the door and leaned against the door to look at the ugly-looking special envoy from the Kingdom of Wright. Mr. Special Envoy also knew that Tang Mo almost never let Weiss avoid suspicion.

So, after he closed the door and cut off the laughter outside, he immediately said: "Sorry, sir, although your fashion conference was very good, I still can't congratulate you at this time..."

"What's wrong?" Tang Mo frowned. As soon as he heard what the other party said, he knew that the matter was not that simple.

Sure enough, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Leyte said immediately: "The Kingdom of Leyte has just had a border conflict with the Kingdom of Gemelin on the border. The troops from both sides are attacking each other, and the situation is out of control."

This is news that has just been sent back from the border area. If it were not for the magic weapon like the telegraph machine, it would have been at least a few days before this news was sent back to the royal city.

 But now, fighting has just broken out on the border, and they already know the news. This is the communication revolution brought by Tang Mo.

Hearing that the war had broken out again, Tang Mo was a little unhappy, because he was mobilizing a fleet to attack the Kingdom of Talen. At this time, war broke out in other areas, which obviously might disrupt his deployment and plans.

Moreover, he has been appeasing the Three Kings Alliance. Susus, Dorne and the Kingdom of Wright have all just ended their external expansion recently and are still in the process of digesting the fruits of victory. It is really not appropriate to continue to expand their territory.

You must know that it takes time to manage the land that was conquered, and the people on the land also need time to assimilate it. Conquering several times the territory in one go is not a good thing for any country.

Taking World War II as an example, after Germany conquered almost all of Europe, it completely failed to convert Europe's productive forces into victory chips that could be used by itself.

Finally, it seemed that Germany's population, productivity, and industrial technology during World War II were comparable to those of its opponents, but when the war entered a stalemate, it fell into a comprehensive disadvantage.

 So Tang Mo’s advice to the three countries is to honestly integrate the land that has been swallowed up and temporarily recuperate so that they can expand better and more efficiently in the future.

 At least on the surface, several countries agreed with Tang Mo's proposition, so after the Three Kingdoms Alliance annexed the surrounding neighboring countries, they all stopped attacking. The clouds of war dissipated a lot for a while, and several small countries around him breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone began to calm down and prepare for the next war.

But what Tang Mo didn't expect was that the Wright Kingdom would actually go against the will and take the initiative to cause trouble on the border, trigger conflicts, and prepare to force a war.

This is not in line with Tang Mo's grand strategy, and also conflicts with Tang Mo's current local choice of attacking the Tarun Kingdom, so he feels that Wright VII is a bit too arrogant.

 So he looked at the special envoy of the Kingdom of Wright and asked: "Didn't I suggest that the kingdom should recuperate and avoid continuing to expand the war before the economy is fully recovered?"

Upon hearing this, the special envoy of the Wright Kingdom knew that Tang Mo had misunderstood, so he quickly waved his hand and explained seriously: "No, no, no! Sir! It is not us who provoke the border dispute this time."

“This joke is not funny at all.” Tang Mo looked at the other person and felt that the other person took him for a fool. Several kingdoms have the ambition and willingness to expand externally. At this time, they have strong troops and horses. What is going on in the border conflict? Can Tang Mo still guess?

The special envoy of the Kingdom of Leyte continued to emphasize: "At least the news I received is that the troops of the Kingdom of Gemelin fired first."

Tang Mo sneered and said disdainfully: "You have ten thousand ways to get their people to shoot first. It's okay to deceive ordinary people about this kind of thing. Do you think I will believe it?"

"That's the fact, sir! The troops of the Kingdom of Gemelin took the lead in attacking, and they are obviously more prepared!" Although he was a little embarrassed, the envoy of the Kingdom of Kelet continued to insist.

"Huh?" After Tang Mo heard the description of being more prepared, he was slightly stunned because he heard some other meanings behind this description.

Originally, he thought that the Wright Kingdom had obtained heavy machine guns, breech-loading cannons, and was equipped with a large number of needle guns. It must be the party that couldn't help but provoke the dispute first.

But now the special envoy of the Kingdom of Wright said that the Kingdom of Gemelin was more fully prepared, which was different from what he had guessed.

The special envoy of the Wright Kingdom saw that Tang Mo was silent and quickly continued to explain: "After the other party provoked a border dispute, they took the lead in launching an attack... They used new artillery and were also equipped with K1 fast guns."

"Are you telling the truth?" Tang Mo immediately realized that his old rival might be causing trouble again.

The special envoy immediately nodded desperately and said to Tang Mo: "Yes, the other party also used new types of artillery shells, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers. They have assembled at least 50 artillery pieces. Currently, our army is resisting tenaciously on the border defense line. , but they can’t hold on for long.”

After he received the telegram from Wangcheng, he read it carefully. The telegram did say that the other party had assembled at least 50 new cannons and used explosive shells. If it hadn't been for a commander who graduated from the Datang Military Academy to arrange it in advance at the border Civil fortifications have been completed, and maybe the border defense lines have been breached now.

Tang Mo raised his eyebrows and asked the other party: "Are you saying that the Kingdom of Gemelin has obtained enough arms from Cyric, so it took the lead in attacking the Kingdom of Wright?"

“You can say that.” Because all land transportation lines in Tang Mo have to cross the Kingdom of Leyte to reach the Kingdom of Gemelin, the special envoy can be sure that the arms of the Kingdom of Gemelin have nothing to do with the Datang Group.

Since it was not the Datang Group that sold these advanced weapons and equipment, it must be the Cyric Consortium that has been imitating the Datang Group’s arms products on a large scale.

“It seems that our old rivals don’t want us to surpass them so peacefully.” Tang Mo nodded slightly and said to the special envoy.

The special envoy also praised the telegraph machine provided by Datang Group: "His Majesty the King has personally led three legions to the border. Because of the telegraph machine, we can mobilize our troops so quickly."

“At least reinforcements are on the way, which is good news.” Tang Mo nodded again.

Seeing that Tang Mo had probably believed what he said, the envoy immediately asked: "We need your support and hope to purchase more cannons, more machine guns, and more advanced weapons. Sir!"

"If you are willing, I can directly transfer 2 machine guns and 1,500 K1 fast guns to support you in the form of loans." Tang Mo immediately transferred some existing inventory to the Wright Kingdom.

Hearing Tang Mo’s words, the special envoy immediately showed joy and thanked him: “Thank you so much! May the gods be with you.”

"God has never stood with me! He doesn't like me." After Tang Mo finished speaking, he walked towards Weiss in the distance: "Tell Parker to produce the latest 20 C64 artillery pieces to be shipped to Dorne. Send it to the Kingdom of Wright urgently, and I will explain the rest to the envoy of Dorne.”

 “Understood!” Weiss nodded immediately, and then helped Tang Mo open the door.

 The laughter and laughter outside the door immediately came in, and Tang Mo saw many people whispering. Obviously, someone had already sent the news to Bunas via telegraph that the war had broken out again!
