Chapter 245 245 Are you willing to forgive me?

"The imitation work of the telegraph machine must be completed as soon as possible..." Sophia thought about the issues related to Datang Group with a solemn expression on her face.

She felt that the wrinkles on her face might have increased recently. After all, thinking about the new power in the distance made her sleepless and sleepless.

  Women really need to have a good quality of life. Women should not be allowed to worry about such things in the first place.

 She rubbed her face with her smooth, slender fingers that had never been stained by housework. The elasticity and brilliance that had not been disturbed by time made Sophia forget more or less some of her worries.

The maid stood there and responded to Sophia's order without any emotion: "Understood! My lord!"

Sophia picked up a book about electrical experiments from the table, opened it to where she saw it, and warned without raising her head: "This work is a top priority! We must provide the same intelligence transmission channel , otherwise we will not be able to compete with this Datang Group in any field!"

There are actually many pioneers of electricity experiments in this world, but many of them are still stuck in experiments such as triboelectricity.

No one has been able to use electricity on such a large scale as Datang Group, and there is no theoretical basis for any experiment.

Sofia, who was very curious about the power industry of the Tang Dynasty, simply found books on basic related majors to study.

It's a pity that she was smart and read several such books, but she didn't get any inspiration from these books at all.

In turn, she relied on her understanding of Datang Group’s electrical machinery to confirm the experiments of these scientists...

"I will have people keep an eye on those craftsmen." The maid still responded to Sophia's order very loyally.

Sophia, who felt that it was not enough, added another bargaining chip: "If they can imitate the telegraph machine as soon as possible, I will reward them... 300 gold coins each! No matter what the cost!"

 “Yes! My lord!” The maid continued to agree without hesitation.

Sofia, who was a bit unbridled and began to subconsciously say whatever she wanted to say, had already concentrated on studying the electricity-related experiments in the books.

I just heard her mention the car thing again without any structure: "In addition, we can't stop purchasing cars and let the surrounding countries buy them! Even if the price is more expensive, it doesn't matter if the ones we buy are used ones! But, I Want cars! The more the better.”

"Yes, my lord." The maid agreed again without any hint of impatience.

Cars are Sophia's favorite thing. She is planning to research a car of her own to compete with Tang Mo's Model T car.

She feels that this new form of transportation, which does not require laying tracks on the road, may be more promising than trains.

 After all, in her opinion, train tracks are a very wasteful way of construction, and cars that obviously don’t need tracks are more cost-effective.

There is no way, she does not have the strategic vision of future generations, and she is completely unable to estimate the transportation capacity of the railway tracks, so she can only rely on her own imagination to judge.

After waiting for a long time, Sophia spoke again and gave an unrelated order: "Leave the imitation work of arms to those idlers! Anyway, they can only see what is in front of them. That’s a little bit of benefit.”

The maid waiting there continued to respond: "Yes, sir."

After a while, Sophia turned a page of the book and seemed to remember that there was another person in the room, so she ordered again: "Go."

The maid retreated to the door, bowed before exiting the room, and gently closed the door for Sophia.

 As a result, a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Sophia's office. At times like this, no one would usually bother her.

 After getting permission, the maid walked into Sofia's office again, put the prepared breakfast on Sofia's desk, and then reported: "Sir! The news just sent!"

“Tell me.” She picked up a piece of bread at random, dipped it in jam, and took a bite. Sofia chewed it and enjoyed the slightly sour sweetness, and said.

 What looks like a plain breakfast is actually extremely luxurious. This kind of fruit is expensive, and the handmade fresh jam completely retains the original aroma and taste of the fruit.

The maid immediately reported: "The Kingdom of Yangmu ceded the Osa Military Port to the Datang Group, and it has become the private property of the Datang Group."

Sofia was startled. She had been paying attention to the news from the Yangmu Kingdom: "It seems that the news that the Yangmu Kingdom's navy was severely damaged is true..."

The maid looked at the pile of information that had just been delivered, nodded and said, "Yes, sir. The news also proved that the Augustine family sold out a gold mine and some copper mines... The person who took over was also the Datang Group..."

 She paused, and then continued to add: "And...there is something else in the message sent this time."

"Huh?" Sophia had just picked up the milk. When she heard the maid say this, she raised her beautiful eyebrows and looked at her subordinates. Her eyelashes are long, beautifully curved and flawless. The maid immediately took out some eyewitness testimonies and statements and placed them on Sophia's desk: "Some adjectives describing Datang Group's naval warships include powerful, made of steel, no need for sails, extremely fast, The artillery is extremely accurate... something like that, adjective."

 Sophia felt that she seemed to have underestimated her opponent again. While she was trying hard to catch up with Datang Group, Datang Group seemed to have left her further behind: "Another new type of warship?"

At this moment, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness, because she had tried very hard to close the distance between the two parties, but it turned out that her efforts were in vain.

The maid took out another copy of a painting: "They also sent a copy... I heard that it was painted by a painter on the coast at that time..."

 “Give it to me!” Sophia couldn’t wait to put down the milk, reached out and took the copy of the painting from the maid’s hand.

 The angular and sharp-looking warship in the painting is cutting through the waves on the sea. The most eye-catching thing is the two huge chimneys of this battleship and the billowing black smoke above the chimneys.

"It seems that this is a battleship driven by a steam engine, because the two chimneys emitting black smoke are too obvious. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it would be impossible to draw it so realistically." After just one glance, Sophia I'm pretty sure this painting is authentic.

She knew that the power of this battleship must be related to a steam engine, because she was so familiar with this kind of chimney. There were countless such chimneys on the edge of the city in the distance.

"Yes, and some people are very sure that this is a kind of steel battleship. It is not afraid of our naval guns and can easily sink a level 1 battleship." The maid continued to talk about the content of the message sent.

Sophia nodded: "New types of shells, and new types of artillery... This has been confirmed."

The maid looked at the thick information and continued to agree: "Yes, sir."

“Has the cause of the war between Datang Group and Yangmu Kingdom been investigated clearly?” Sophia suddenly asked.

The maid immediately answered her question: "It's clear, sir, after you seized our business in the Yangmu Kingdom from the Augustine family, you focused on asking us to deploy our forces here, so we easily found out the information."

 “Say...don’t be too tight-lipped.” Sophia picked up the milk and took a sip.

The maid continued to talk about the information obtained by her intelligence department, which was not a secret: "Yes, sir, the elves had cooperated with the Tang Group before. Someone from the Augustin family brought back needle guns, steam engines, Technologies such as paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition and flash caps.”

“It seems that the elves’ technology is indeed derived from Bunas.” Sophia nodded while holding the glass with milk.

"It's like this. At that time, Datang Group packaged these technologies and sold them to the Augustine family for more than 200,000 gold coins." Seeing that her master was silent, the maid continued.

"Huh? Only sold for more than 200,000 gold coins?" Sophia's beautiful brows frowned.

 “Yes! We only sold so much.” The maid replied affirmatively.

Sophia immediately became angry and cursed in her clear and sweet voice: "Giss, this bastard, I know he is a fool who succeeds only when he fails! Why doesn't he just buy these technologies back from Datang Group?" His mind is full of exploits and plunder..."

She hated Cyric, the person in charge of affairs in the Kingdom of Wright, with all her heart: "I was tricked to death by these idiots! Damn it! Keep talking!"

The maid immediately obeyed: "Yes, sir, but the head of the Augustin family, Rebert, defaulted on 100,000 gold coins and failed to pay the Datang Group, trampling on his own honor..."

 “Ha! Another short-sighted, stupid guy.” Sophia shook the milk glass in her hand disdainfully.

"That's right, sir. Later, the Datang Group sent its own new warships to block the Nanshui Port, destroyed the port there, and sank hundreds of Yangmu Kingdom's transport ships."

“…” After being stunned for a moment, Sophia immediately burst into laughter: “Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Interesting! So interesting! Revenge is a character that I really like!”

Amidst Sophia's laughter, the maid continued: "Then, the two parties negotiated a peace, and Datang Group proposed a compensation of 14 million gold coins."

"Pfft..." Sophia, who was about to take another sip of milk, couldn't help but spit it out. She choked a sip of milk, laughed and coughed: "Hahahaha! Cough cough! Haha! Cough cough cough! Hahaha! I really I like this little guy named Tang Mo more and more! Hahahaha! It’s so exciting to think about it! Hahahaha! So the elf paid me back?”

 The milk crawled along the corners of her mouth and over her slender neck, then rolled down to her chest and submerged into the neckline of her silky nightgown...

The maid's face turned red. She swallowed her saliva before lowering her head slightly. She reluctantly looked away, nodded and said, "Yes, sir! The Yangmu Kingdom ceded Ossa and compensated for the gold mine and copper." Mine, and even paid a large sum of money in compensation, and finally reached a settlement with Datang Group.”

Unmindful of the maid's lustful gaze, Sophia even straightened out her chest and showed off her proud figure. While making her subordinate's cheeks turn red, she chuckled charmingly and said: "You kid who doesn't want to suffer a loss... Do you think that if I am willing to compensate him, will Datang Group reconcile with the Cyric Consortium? Yes." Don’t want to… forgive me?”

　　The maid lowered her head and could even hear her own heartbeat: "I...don't know, sir."

"Of course you don't know..." Licking the milk at the corner of her mouth, Sophia squinted her eyes, not sure whether she was enjoying it or thinking.
