Chapter 256: 256 Leer
Chapter 256 256 Le'er
Some people are born with good fortune, some people are born with bad fortune, and some people will rise to great heights after meeting their noble person.
Tang Mo didn’t know if he was considered a noble person, but it was obvious that he had changed the fate of an orc catwoman.
The little kitten standing in front of him was so cute that it made people drool. It didn’t even have a name, because many poor people in the orc tribe didn’t have names.
But this does not completely prove that the fate of this little cat girl is miserable, because the orc women with a higher status than her were all affected by the war, and some were even sold to other countries, and there is no news yet.
It was precisely because she was born into the poorest family that she was able to escape and wait until the return of the orc prince.
This little girl, who had nothing to eat and no warmth to wear, was selected and had to eat well for two or three months before being dressed up and sent to Tang Mo.
It is precisely because she has been nourished with good food and drink for a while that her beauty is revealed, like dusty jewelry emitting dazzling light.
Now that this orb is in Tang Mo's hands, he feels that he has had a little bit of a savior experience.
He can save this girl and at least give her a relatively stable life. Therefore, he looked at the girl who was sent to Bunas as a gift with great interest, and asked: "Do you really have no name?"
"No! My mother always called me 'stick'. She thought I was too thin to work." The girl lowered her head and stared at the food in front of her, not daring to reach out for it.
The most powerful person she had ever met was His Highness the Prince of Gales. She thought she would become the prince's wife, but the prince fed her well and finally sent her to Bunas.
Only when she arrived at the port of Bunas did she discover what real wealth in the world looked like.
At the dock, a rich man approached the orc official who sent him here and said that he was prepared to pay 1,000 gold coins to buy him.
But when the orc official mentioned that he wanted to give himself to a certain gentleman, the other man waved his hands and apologized in a cold sweat, and then retreated into the distance without even daring to look at him.
Then...she got in the car and came to a place where there were big smoking sticks everywhere. There was a somewhat unpleasant smell in the air, but she could still feel the wealth of this place.
People outside the car window are all wearing decent clothes, and children laughing and playing can be seen everywhere on the streets. The buildings here are as high as ten stories, and there are not even defensive walls here!
While she was thinking about these things, a plate with grilled fish was pushed in front of the little cat.
"I don't know what you like to eat, but I think cats always like to eat fish." Tang Mo felt that he was very smart, and he probably guessed the girl's preferences correctly.
Seeing this fish, the kitten's face fell. She ate a lot of fish in Port Osa. At that time, she thought it might be the most delicious food in the world.
Then she ate fish at sea for a long time, and she felt a little sick when she saw it.
Now...the untouchable big man in front of her seemed to want her to eat fish again. She felt so desperate. She really wanted to try the meat and delicious-looking meatballs further away.
"It's always impossible without a name." Tang Mo looked at the kitten, which didn't eat fish, and thought for a moment before saying, "The stick is definitely not going to work anymore. You can call it Le'er from now on."
"Le'er..." The girl felt that this name sounded much better than "Wooden Stick", so she nodded shyly.
“Try this.” Tang Mo pushed the plate of meatballs that Leer had been looking forward to for a long time in front of her, and tried to say: “This tastes good too.”
The girl really started to move. She felt that the boy in front of her was the best person in the world.
However, when Tang Mo saw the girl grabbing the meatballs with her hands and stuffing them into her mouth, he suddenly felt that he was not finding a concubine, but more like finding a child.
After being stunned for a moment, Tang Mo laughed. He touched the girl's fluffy hair with his loving hand and said to Weiss behind him: "Get her a teacher and teach her etiquette. Wait until she learns it." , and then send it to school.”
“Understood!” Weiss nodded, also finding this silly-looking Catwoman very interesting.
"You eat here first! You can eat whatever you like. You can walk around and look around, but don't go to places that are too dangerous." Tang Mo stood up, straightened his clothes, and then led Weiss towards He walked to the door and said, "I have something to do, so I won't finish eating with you."
When he walked to the door, he looked at a guard who stayed here: "You know where you can take her and where you can't, right?"
“I know.” The guard said with his head held high.
Tang Mo nodded slightly, and then walked out of the room, leaving only the pretty back of a girl who was still devouring food on the table.
When Tang Mo opened the door to the conference room, Harry and several senior executives were already discussing the issue anxiously.
The border war in the Kingdom of Leyte has broken out, and most merchants in Bunas have heard the news.
In the past, they might have to wait a week before confirming such news, but now they only need a telegram to confirm that the war has broken out, and many commodities have begun to become scarce.
Seeing Tang Mo enter the conference room, Harry immediately went up to him and complained: "This may be the first time in human history that such a crazy transportation plan has been drawn up."
“Our Datang Group’s transportation troops are actually preparing to transport so many supplies to the front line at an unprecedented speed? This is simply risking their lives.” On the other side, the director of a department responsible for transportation shook his head and said.
To be honest, if the railway from Bunas to the Royal City has been completed, then these transportations are actually not too difficult to handle.
But the problem is that the other party seems to have seized this time point and provoked this deadly war during the critical time when the funds invested by Tang Mo and the Wright Kingdom on the railway did not receive any return.
Transportation capacity is seriously insufficient. Datang Group’s arms and various supplies cannot be transported directly to the royal city, let alone to the front line.
At this moment, the only materials that can support the eastern border are some of the materials accumulated by the Kingdom of Wright.
But the transfer of this part of the materials out of the Royal City means that the Royal City will fall into emptiness. At this time, the determination and determination of Wright VII will be tested.
"300 cows, 700 sheep, 1,000 pigs, 200 tons of flour, more than 40 C64 breech-loading cannons, 10,000 rifles, 3 million rounds of ammunition... This is not a small amount." Harry followed suit. complained.
This is not the World War II era. With railway transportation and a complete road system, transporting so many things is simply a piece of cake.
At present, the territory of the Kingdom of Leyte is basically filled with third-level roads, that is, there are basically no serious cement asphalt roads, no highways, and no railways.
These things just mentioned all need to be transported by horse-drawn carriages and T-shaped cars, which are not very powerful in transportation capabilities.
In addition, a complete gas station system has not yet been established in the eastern region of the Kingdom, so you may have to carry your own fuel for your car.
This is simply not a transport, but a disaster!
According to the analysis of the Datang Group's staff department, if the entire transportation force can reach the royal city, it is almost close to the limit.
"Master, according to the plan, more than half of the 100 vehicles we mobilized will be paralyzed before reaching the royal city." Loew gave a relatively pessimistic estimate, which was also discussed by a group of staff officers in the staff department. It is relatively A fair conclusion.
As he spoke, he pointed to the map spread on the table. When Tang Mo also looked over, he continued: "There are not many gas stations along the way. We have to prepare 10 additional cars specifically to transport gasoline."
Tang Mo held his chin and stared at the map, looking at the railway that had not yet been penetrated, as if he was deep in thought.
"There are no asphalt roads on this road. There are bumpy dirt roads on this road. The driving condition of the car is very poor, and the wear rate must be higher than estimated." Seeing that Tang Mo was silent, Loew continued: "Fully loaded After carriages carrying ammunition and heavy artillery pass through, these roads will definitely be damaged and deformed. It will take at least twice as long for a car to travel on such roads. "
"What if, I mean what if, we allocate materials and build the railway between Tunbunas and the Royal City in one go?" Tang Mo suddenly looked at Parker who was silent and asked.
“Master, this requires a construction team of 3,000 people and enough rails.” Parker explained hesitantly.
“Stop the rails that are going to be transported to Dragon Island, and make every effort to ensure the construction of the railway between Bunas and the Royal City! Is there any problem? How many days will it take?”
“Five days?” Parker estimated the time and replied, “At any cost, five days should be enough.”
"That'll be easy! Harry!" Tang Mo looked at his manager.
“Yes!” Harry agreed immediately.
“Use our dedicated communication channel and password to send a telegram to the people in the royal city! Ask them to forward the telegram to Wright VII...Ask him if he can hold on for 5 days with the troops and supplies he has!”
"Five days later! He won't have to worry about logistics anymore." Tang Mo said confidently.
"Yes! I understand!" Leo, who was standing there, turned around and immediately went to explain what Tang Mo had arranged.
Tang Mo looked at Harry again: "Place orders with all the merchants I can contact to purchase grain, steel, copper, horses and other strategic materials that can be named...Sooner or later, I will send the bill to Gemma Lin’s King’s!”

The second update will be made up during the day tomorrow. I won’t stay up late at night. I’d like to inform everyone not to wait any longer. I’m sorry.
