Chapter 195: 195 Failed pretense
Chapter 195 195 Failed pretense
Tang Mo held the cigarette in his mouth and leaned in front of the flame. He inhaled greedily, the air flowed, and the flame lit the cigarette in front of Tang Mo.
A burning sting rushed into Tang Mo's trachea, tearing at Tang Mo's lungs hard. The coolness was completely gone for a moment, and he coughed violently, his eyes filled with stinging tears.
"Woo...cough cough cough! I...cough cough cough! Cough! Ah...cough cough cough!" He coughed uncontrollably, and even his tone became terrifying.
Matthews stood up in shock and wanted to come over to help, but Tang Mo stopped him with his hand.
Tang Mo was really embarrassed to admit the fact that he wanted to pretend to be X but failed completely. He is indeed an old smoker deep in his soul, but this young body is extremely honest.
This thing is not like looking for a woman. It is the first time for Chu Ge to learn it by himself after watching two CDs from a certain country in Japan. He can pretend to be pretentious even if he has no experience.
No matter how familiar you are with smoking, when the stinging smoke rolls in your lungs, the unprepared body will give the most honest response to the brain.
Tang Mo's violent coughing was his most real reaction. He found that he had once again experienced this exciting and uncomfortable crappy experience.
Even some mucus flowed out of his nostrils for a while, which made the grace he enjoyed while smoking disappear.
In fact, the illusion that smoking is very stylish, very handsome, and even very masculine is deliberately created by tobacco manufacturers. The so-called elegant smoking by women is also a sky-high advertisement placed in the plot.
A woman who smokes is sultry, but if you think about it carefully, is it the action of smoking that makes her sultry? What's alluring about her is her red evening gown, her delicate face, and her curves that make people burst with desire.
Is it a profound experience for men to smoke? Neither. Wearing a suit and a gold watch and puffing away smoke in a Rolls-Royce is called vicissitudes; wearing jeans and a flowered vest and squatting next to a bicycle on the side of the road puffing away smoke is called poverty...
So, it was the cigarettes that impressed you? No, it's the actor's handsomeness, the expensive clothes, and the enchantment of his female companion.
As for cigarettes, they are just a supplement and are dispensable. If he chews gum, you must think he is healthy. If he puts a cherry in his mouth, the woman will probably cover her face and scream.
Anyway, Tang Mo, who failed to pretend to be X for the first time, found ten thousand reasons to embarrass himself. After his lungs finally got used to the uncomfortable feeling, he finally found a glimmer of pleasure in the stinging pain.
For an old smoker, this is a familiar feeling, a taste similar to home.
"Master, is this over?" After waiting for a long time, Matthews finally couldn't hold back and asked curiously.
Tang Mo was reminiscing about the comfort of his first cigarette when someone unexpectedly asked him this question, and he was a little confused as to what the other person was asking.
He looked at Matthews blankly, expressing great regret that the other man could not experience the pleasure of smoking.
“Isn’t this an amazing invention?” Matthews asked, still in disbelief.
"Of course... isn't this a shocking invention?" Tang Mo held the cigarette between his fingers, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with enjoyment: "This feeling... do you know how long I have been looking forward to it?"
It was only now that Matthews realized that the new inventions he was looking forward to from Tang Mo were actually just two gadgets of little use.
It’s just that he didn’t know that the two things he made would become the objects of many successful people in the future. The originals of these two things had always been with Tang Mo, and their worth had increased to an incredible level.
As for the cigarettes that he didn’t even look at, they would soon become popular in the Wright Kingdom and become the favorite daily consumables of the Datang Group’s security forces.
With the outbreak of the war, this kind of cigarettes began to be mass-produced and then distributed to various war zones, becoming a spiritual comfort for soldiers on those hellish frontline battlefields.
Now he is certainly a model of success, and of course he looks like those handsome male protagonists in movies.
He wears a gemstone ring worth 400 gold coins on his finger, his suit is a tailor-made version, and he has a gold pocket watch in his pocket.
Of course, now he has two new valuable toys, one is a cigarette case and the other is a lighter.
In short, after coughing non-stop for two minutes, Tang Mo found a way to destroy his lungs, and he started to enjoy it.
If there is another car with a silver angel figure on the front, then it will basically reach the height it should have been in its previous life.
So Tang Mo was happy at this moment. He was still intoxicated in the momentary, unreal illusion, hypnotizing himself and allowing himself to gain instant peace. Actually, it was indeed a moment of peace.
In the autumn of 114, the Kingdom of Wright completed the training and assembly of its troops and received the support of the Datang Group. He personally led his army eastward, defeated the neighboring countries supported by the Cyric Group, and completed the comprehensive annexation of the neighboring countries. .
In this battle that decided the fate of the two countries, the Kingdom of Wright assembled 45,000 troops to fight 90,000 from its neighboring country. Relying on the powerful combat power of the C64 artillery, it defeated the opponent's main force in one battle and then breached the opponent's royal city.
Subsequently, the king of the neighboring country announced his abdication and was conferred the title of Marquis by Wright VII. The entire kingdom of the other side also became the possession of the Kingdom of Wright.
While the battle was going on, the Kingdom of Susas suddenly launched an attack to the north. An army of 30,000 swept across the northern border, annihilating the 30,000 defenders on the neighboring border, and then rushed straight into the opponent's royal city, forcing the opponent to sign a peace treaty. .
The contents of this treaty are very complex, but there are two very eye-catching ones. The first is that the Kingdom of Susas acquired all the territory south of the opponent's royal city and pushed the border to the opponent's royal city in one go.
Another piece of content is very interesting: All resources in the defeated kingdom must be managed by the Datang Group, and the power of the Cyric Consortium was completely driven out of the defeated kingdom.
And the matter was far from over. Seven days after the beginning of the Northern Expedition of Sussus, in the south of the Kingdom of Wright, a kingdom called Dorne actually sent troops northward. They fought consecutive battles and defeated the Kingdom of Dorne and the Kingdom of Wright. The unlucky kingdom.
This kingdom can be said to be very unlucky. The Kingdom of Wright, which is growing in strength, and the Kingdom of Dorne, which has just risen rapidly, directly divided this weak kingdom.
Yes, it was completely divided.
In just one month, the Kingdom of Wright occupied one kingdom and half a kingdom, nearly doubling its territory. The Kingdom of Dorne also annexed half of the kingdom, expanding its territory by at least two-thirds.
More importantly, the Kingdom of Dorne gained a land border with the Kingdom of Wright. It is speculated that this is the reason why they gave up their neighbors further south and chose to go north.
At the same time, the Kingdom of Susas also expanded its territory northward, pushing the border under the opponent's royal city in one breath, completing compensation for its previous war losses.
At least the area of land Susas received was twice the area it lost, and this area included large tracts of pasture with a value comparable to the grain-producing areas south of the Ice Crystal River.
Judging from the results, since the Susas Kingdom no longer intends to quarrel with Beiling, they can actually buy a large amount of food from the Wright Kingdom.
In turn, they can also provide products such as fur and mane, allowing the Kingdom of Wright to have enough animal husbandry materials to make up for each other.
However, the almost back-to-back expansion of the three kingdoms really made some kingdoms further away nervous. They kept silent and were really worried that the three countries would form an alliance and continue to expand their territories.
Similarly, in these three seemingly unrelated wars, but in fact they were closely related, many amazing geniuses were unexpectedly born.
Viscount Romel of the Kingdom of Sussus showed bravery and led the army to fight all the way. It was like entering an uninhabited country and achieved a great victory in the north, which revived the morale of Sussas.
The Kingdom of Wright is even more talented. Many commanders whom no one can name led their troops to directly penetrate the opponent's defense line, crushing their opponents in terms of command capabilities.
It was these powerful commanders who allowed the neighboring troops supported by the Cyric Consortium, which were also equipped with needle guns, had more cannons, and had stronger troops, to quickly collapse and help the Kingdom of Wright gain an unprecedented victory.
Similarly, in the Kingdom of Dorne, a legend was born - the young commander who commanded their troops to go north, and finally victoriously fought against the Kingdom of Wright, completely dividing the kingdom sandwiched between the two kingdoms, turned out to be a naval admiral.
What is even more ridiculous is that this young general is only less than 20 years old. He is simply an unparalleled genius.
These dazzling generals suddenly appeared, and they were all born in the three kingdoms that Ruoyousiwu had already formed an alliance with, which inevitably made people think a little.
Soon, through investigation, everyone came to know an astonishing fact: there is a Datang Military Academy in the Kingdom of Leyte, and the talents who came out there... can really be called talents!
Just after the end of three consecutive battles, the almost completely public Three Kings Alliance was formally formed. The three countries signed a treaty of mutual trust in Bunas, agreeing not to betray each other and to launch back-to-back expansion wars.
Furthermore, the Three Kings Alliance also stipulated that when one party is in a tight war, the other two parties have the obligation to send troops to help. This treaty made several surrounding small kingdoms completely desperate.
Eventually, with Cyric's help, a Five-Nation Alliance was born. Their purpose is to cope with the expansion of the Three Kings Alliance.
