 Chapter 134134Have you been there?

“You really want to do business with Cyric? This is almost like seeking skin from a tiger...” Roger looked at Tang Mo who was picking his teeth with a toothpick and asked with some confusion.

Tang Mo slapped the toothpick he made on the table, smiled and said, "I'm just buying time. As long as they are willing to maintain a peaceful period with us for 3 to 6 months, we can put Bunas away." The business is like a piece of iron."

"At that time, we have hundreds of soldiers and a dozen howitzers, and we can completely set up a defense line and fight ten times the enemy force in Bunas." Tang Mo looked at the exquisite map hanging on the wall and said to Roger. .

 This map was a gift given to Tang Mo by Gis. Including this gift, there were many other things.

For example, there is a pile of fine wine in the corner of the room, including tens of thousands of gold coins in Tang Mo's warehouse, and an exaggerated-looking order belonging to Datang Group.

Hyric ordered 100,000 rounds of bullets from Tang Mo, and he ordered them at the price of 1 gold coin per bullet.

Ghis paid a deposit of 50,000 gold coins for this, and there was also a contract for the mine near Bunas.

 Burnas originally produced iron. This vein extends all the way from the North Ridge Mountains. It can be mined on both sides of the vicious forest, and the reserves are quite huge.

There are coal mines on the other side of Bunas, which is also an important reason why Tang Mo's father, Tang Qi, chose a site in Bunas and built a weapons workshop.

Tang Mo got the title deeds to the iron ore and coal mines, as well as the mining certificates, and even the contracts of the workers working there.

Tang Mo, who had received so many things, did not miss the promise and immediately delivered 10,000 rounds of ammunition to Cyric, which made Cyric's arms workshop in the Kingdom of Wright suddenly busy.

Ghis started imitating Tang Mo's needle guns non-stop, and imitated 1,500 of them in one go.

"But, are we really going to fight Cyric?" Roger was a little reluctant, because he knew that once the war broke out, the entire area around Bunas would definitely turn into a scorched earth.

Tang Mo stared at the map helplessly and explained to Roger: "It's not that we want to fight, but they will definitely fight. If they can do business honestly, they won't have such a bad reputation."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Roger and showed a wry smile: "We don't need to be too anxious, because the other party will definitely not act rashly in a short time."

"They only have 10,000 rounds of ammunition. No matter how many weapons they make, it will be useless." Tang Mo walked over and comforted Roger: "So, they must wait until all 100,000 rounds of ammunition are delivered, and then purchase hundreds of thousands or even more." Only with millions of bullets can you have the confidence to compete with us.”

“Think about it, 100,000 rounds of bullets and thousands of rifles. If each of them trains and fires a few shots, these bullets will be almost used.” Seeing that Roger was still worried, he continued to explain easily.

"The other party will definitely show weakness first and give up many mines and towns... This is the clause signed in our contract, and they will implement it seriously." Tang Mo walked around the desk and passed by Leo and the others who were sitting there. Redman walked to the map and carefully looked at all the wealth marked on it about Cyric in the Kingdom of Wright.

 This map was originally an important property of Cyric. It was produced by Cyric as his own resource distribution map.

More than 30% of the mines in the kingdom are directly controlled by Cyric, or even fully controlled. Of the remaining 70% of the mines, half are directly owned by Cyric.

 In fact, the king's wealth is not as good as that controlled by Cyric, which is why Gith is able to be so unscrupulous in this country.

With this map, Tang Mo could intuitively see the growth of his wealth, because just a dozen days ago, Cyric handed over several small workshops in the eastern part of Bunas to Tang Mo.

 These workshops all produce cloth, which is not very valuable. But after Tang Mo took control of these small workshops, he almost controlled the villages and towns where these small workshops were located.

As he spoke, he pointed to the points on the map that he seemed to have control over: "The purpose of their implementation of these provisions is, firstly, to paralyze us, and secondly, to distract us from our limited energy."

These places circled with red pen now belong to Tang Mo. Tang Mo and his men still have to do a lot to completely absorb and digest Cyric's power here.

He pressed his fingers on the small red circles around these bunas, as if talking to himself: "Once we have too many places to take care of, we will inevitably lose sight of one. At that time, they can gather their troops, Defeat our scattered troops one by one."

“Then what should we do?” Tiger next to Roger asked anxiously.

Tang Mo smiled indifferently: "We don't need to guard so many mines, and we don't need to control so many towns. We just need to stay here honestly and wait for their people to come and kill them."

"Anyway, if we want Cyric to willingly give up the Kingdom of Wright, we must make them understand the reality. They cannot defeat us." After Tang Mo finished speaking, he turned around and looked at his confidants.

 Redman asked a question that didn’t start or end, but everyone knew what he was asking: “How many will there be?”

Tang Mo didn't care at all, and casually answered a number that left many people speechless: "About... 20,000 people."

“…” Weiss, Leo, Roger and others did not speak. They just looked at Tang Mo, their eyes full of worry. After scratching his head, Tang Mo asked these people with a grimace, "Do you think 20,000 people is a lot?"

 “It’s a bit…” Weiss nodded.

 Although in Beiling, they defeated thousands of enemy troops with only 600 men. But that was in Beiling, and they had needle guns and other new weapons.

Now, it seems that Cyric also has Tang Mo's weapons. At least the opponent's individual weapons are not far behind Tang Mo's security forces.

What's even worse is that they fought on a relatively small battlefield and blocked the enemy's offensive. But in Bunas, they had to face 20,000 enemy troops on a rather long defense line!

 For them, this is definitely not good news, at least not exciting news.

Tang Mo smiled, his smile full of disdain and danger. He glanced at everyone and asked an irrelevant topic that surprised everyone: "Have you ever heard of the Somme?"

“No, where is that?” Roger thought for a moment and found that he had never heard of it before, so he asked with some confusion.

Tang Mo did not answer his question. Instead, he walked up to Leo and continued to ask, "Have you ever heard of Verdun?"

Leo Ao was a little unsure, and seemed to be trying hard to find his memory. Finally, he looked at Tang Mo with some uncertainty: "Have you been there?"

"No, I haven't been there." Tang Mo shook his head: "I have never been there in my life."

 Everyone was a little confused and looked at Tang Mo: "Then..."

Tang Mo sat back in his seat and spread his hands: "Don't worry! Believe me... For us, 20,000 people may not be enough for us to kill in one day..."

“…” Everyone was speechless about Tang Mo, the riddler. They had never heard of killing 20,000 people in one day.

"Okay, gentlemen! What we have to do now is to make good use of this hard-won period of peace and do our most important work well." Tang Mo walked back to the map and touched the Vicious Forest. That short, black and white line in the open space on the border.

He drew it himself with white paper and ink, cut it into a thin strip and pasted it on the map. What this line represents is already very obvious.

 This is the first railway track in the world, a railway track connecting the old factory area and the new factory area. In more than a month, only a few kilometers of railway track will be completely connected and put into use.

He couldn’t blame these people for not having heard of the Meat Grinder Verdun, so he couldn’t blame these people for not understanding what he meant.

 In fact, everyone who knows the Battle of Verdun, the war that broke out in Europe, will know that automatic weapons rewritten the entire war.

From now on, the attackers in the war will pay a heavy price, and Cyric will definitely pay ten or a hundred times the price for their arrogance.

These worms who have been in power for a long time are not even willing to buy some steam engines in advance to improve their production lines.

They are greedy and use the number of workers to make up for the technical gap, hoping to completely occupy everything in Tang Mo through an unreasonable war.

 That's why they only bought bullets and not Tang Mo's other things, so they generously agreed to Tang Mo's request to take over the entire Wright Kingdom.

 In short, both sides are scheming and scheming against each other in their own way.

The hole that Cyric dug for Tang Mo is called "I have a tenfold advantage in strength!" After they have stocked up on enough weapons, they will use a war to teach Tang Mo how to behave.

The hole Tang Mo dug for Sirik was even deeper. The name of this hole was the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun. Although this thing is still on the drawing board, some parts have already begun to be produced.

“Sir, do you really think that that expensive road made of steel... can help us gain an advantage in the war?” Tiger asked incredulously.

In his opinion, it is simply a serious waste to just lay the steel needed for dozens of cannons, or even hundreds of cannons, on the ground and call it a road.

"No..." Tang Mo shook his head. Although the railway had never helped the war, it was not the railway he relied on this time.

However, he then went on to say: "But it will make us richer after the war is over..."
