Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 382 Chapter 382 slowly becomes king

His words reminded Tang Mo of the United States and the Five Good People—in another world that Tang Mo was familiar with, the five most tyrannical arms dealers in the world were also five countries!

 They are a country, but it does not affect their business of selling their own weapons at all. Therefore, even though Nangong Hong's words were unsubstantiated, Tang Mo knew that what he said was right.

“Similarly, today’s Datang Group seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is also full of dangers! How can such a huge power not be feared?” In turn, Nangong Hong asked Tang Mo another question.

In order to increase his persuasiveness, he added two sentences: "Although the elephant is low-key and cautious, how can it hide behind the tree without being discovered? Even if the tiger and beast are just passing by, how can those mice and rabbits not tremble?" ?”

Tang Mo has actually realized that with the continuous development of Datang Group, keeping a low profile can no longer completely offset the group's influence.

 In every field, Datang Group has absolute control. As long as Tang Mo is willing, he can easily destroy a kingdom within the scope of Datang Group's influence.

 This kind of destruction was achieved simultaneously economically, politically, and even by force - he was very clear about this deterrent effect, and the kings and ministers of those kingdoms could not be completely unaware of it.

Even if they can’t see everything clearly, they can still see clues from some details. As Nangong Hong said, an elephant cannot hide behind a small tree.

“The Tang Group has become so huge, and its power is powerful enough to subvert any kingdom.” Nangong Hong was already very sure of this based on just a few days of observation.

 In fact, many people can see that just by relying on the prosperous Bunas, Datang Group has the capital to launch a war of annihilation.

It’s just that, for various reasons, these people pretend not to know, or they don’t say anything even if they know.

 Some people became blind because they took Tang Mo's benefits. Some people had already boarded Tang Mo's ship and were waiting for Tang Mo to set sail.

 In short, it’s not that there are no smart people in this world, it’s just that everyone’s smartness is used in different ways.

Tang Mo was still thinking about these things in his mind, but Nangong Hong over there had already opened his mouth and asked a new question: "So...Mr. Tang, may I ask, if you are the king of a kingdom...or the emperor of an empire, what are you facing?" What do you think when you see such a giant?"

“…” Tang Mo said nothing, because from some perspective, he didn’t care what these people would think.

 What the kings and ministers of these kingdoms think, he doesn’t care at all! He just needs to wait for the other party to make a choice and make his plans clear, and then he can counterattack.

"They will stay up all night, tossing and turning, guessing your intentions! You hold such huge power, but you don't show any ambition... You hold the money bags of these monarchs, control their armies, and control their people , but no one knows what you want to do, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Nangong Hong didn't wait for Tang Mo's answer, so he answered his own question.

Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Everyone will be suspicious of you, and they will be jealous of you. At some point, they will even be forced to take measures to eradicate this unknown hidden danger. Sometimes, forcing you to explode will make many people angry. Peace of mind.”

Nangong Hong continued to ask: "You have the power to intimidate an empire, but you don't trigger it. It's like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads that will be cut off at an unknown time. Do you think... is this a good thing, or is it... What about the bad things?”

 “You keep talking.” Tang Mojie didn’t mean to answer, but spoke casually. He knew that this was Nangonghong's problem, and it was also a problem that Nangonghong had to solve.

Tang Mo is now the boss, and Nangong Hongcai is the employee who applied for the job. Just raising questions is not enough for Tang Mo to give him a good salary. Nangong Hong needs to be able to help Tang Mo solve problems before he can get the position he wants.

In other words, when Nangong Hong kept asking questions here, he was actually not asking Tang Mo, but asking himself questions.

 Only if he completes these test questions to Tang Mo's satisfaction, will he have the chance to stay in Datang Group...

"On the other hand, as long as you express your intention, it will make most people feel at ease. As long as your intention does not conflict with their interests, they will not be thinking of killing everything for the time being." Sure enough, Nangonghong continued. Said further.

"As for the problems you mentioned before, they are actually easy to solve... After all, becoming emperor cannot be achieved overnight... It requires planning, waiting, and accumulation of strength. What is important is that it will happen naturally..." First of all, Nangong Hong gave A preliminary solution to Tang Mo's concerns.

This plan is very simple, that is, it is a procrastination strategy - wait until Tang Mo has almost implemented the things in hand, and then go back to study the matter of proclaiming the emperor.

Although this cannot perfectly solve all problems, it can at least allow Tang Mo to implement his currency replacement policy safely and smoothly for the time being, and at the same time, it can also allow Tang Mo to retain most of the arms market: "Waiting for Mr. Tang to overthrow in the economic field With the existing gold coin system and the promotion of Bunas banknotes, when we have stabilized the market and expanded our influence to a point where the other party cannot ignore it, it will be too late to become emperor and ascend the throne. "…Build walls high and accumulate grain widely. Slowly becoming king?" Tang Mo remembered an interesting allusion and muttered.

"Huh?" After hearing Tang Mo's summary, Nangong Hong was stunned - he was shocked by Tang Mo's precise conclusion.

Originally, he thought that the plan he proposed was the ultimate answer that Tang Mo had never thought of. But from what Tang Mo muttered, he heard something different.

 Obviously, Tang Mo has considered this aspect, so he was able to give such a concise and accurate summary full of wisdom.

Therefore, he had to recalibrate his understanding of Tang Mo, and praised with admiration: "Mr. Tang... a great talent! He summarized the essence in just nine words. I am not as good as Mr. Tang."

Tang Mo didn't take it seriously, because he didn't sum up the sentence itself, so he didn't have any sense of pride that didn't belong to him - it was Zhu Sheng's advice to Zhu Yuanzhang, and it had nothing to do with him!

It's a pity that Nangong Hong didn't know this. He thought that Tang Mo had already prepared the manuscript, so he admired him greatly and even felt sorry for him for a while.

While Nangong Hong was savoring these words, Tang Mo curiously asked a question that became more and more interesting to him: "Then, as Mr. Nangong said, if I am determined to become emperor... where can I go? ?”

Hearing his question, You Lin, who had been standing behind him, suddenly tensed up because this was the first time she heard Tang Mo discuss the topic of becoming an emperor.

This is likely to mean that the future development goals of Datang Group will begin to change. Datang Group will also transform from a business group to an empire and become the ruling group of an empire!

 For other countries, this is definitely not good news. Because Datang Group will become a strong competitor for everyone.

Wes's expression also changed slightly - for him personally, there are some differences between the personal bodyguards of the boss of Datang Group and the personal bodyguards of the emperor of a huge empire.

He swallowed a gulp of saliva and began to imagine in his mind that he was driving for the founding emperor of an unprecedentedly great empire, passing by the shocking scene of millions of soldiers.

It is no exaggeration to say that for everyone in Datang Group, if Tang Mo really wants to become emperor, it will be great news.

 This means that they will all have a chance to be promoted, a chance to become a dragon—as long as they seize this opportunity, they will become the masters of an empire!

 So, even Weiss and Youlin will inevitably have some fluctuations in their hearts at this moment. Being able to become an emperor's concubine, being able to become an emperor's most trusted bodyguard, how could they not have any trouble at all?

Hearing Tang Mo ask such a question, Nangong Hong felt that he was almost halfway successful.

Hence, he became more and more calm and spoke the name of a country: "Zheng Guo!"

“Huh?” Tang Mo did not expect that Nangong Hong would give such an interesting answer. Because this answer coincides with his next goal. So he looked at Nangong Hong, waiting for the other party to give him an explanation.

"The northernmost part of the Endless Sea, the Ice Kingdom is barren. Although there are a lot of minerals, there is no fertile land suitable for farming. There is no benefit in occupying it! What's more, the Ice Kingdom and the Tang Group are in alliance with each other, and the relationship is stable in the short term. It is unwise to rashly become an enemy." Nangong Hong then analyzed.

 “Yeah.” Tang Mo nodded, giving himself approval.

"Always keep the Yangmu Kingdom and other elves as the northern barrier to prevent the restoration of the Dwarf Kingdom and prevent them from going south smoothly! Moreover, this is also the traditional sphere of influence of the Datang Group. Seizing such a place is causing trouble for yourself..." Nangong Hong He continued to explain.

"For the same reason, Talen in the southernmost part has little room for development. It is just some islands. At most, it is a food producing area. There is nothing to worry about." Because he did not know industrial raw materials such as rubber, Nangong Hong concluded that, Still relatively one-sided.

 He ​​certainly had no idea how important rubber, and other crops, were to modern industry.

However, even this one-sided conclusion is actually quite accurate. At this time, establishing a country in Talon will directly conflict with Dorne. This is not what Datang Group wants to see.
