Chapter 336: 336 good son
Chapter 336 336 Good Son
Sure enough, as if to confirm his words, the third identical giant ship sounded its whistle, as if a huge monster lying on the sea was threatening all the animals around it.
This powerful and deep buzzing suddenly woke up the entire port. Everyone who could see this huge ship stood up straight and looked at it.
Seagulls surround this giant ship. Because there is no corresponding dock, it can only slow down and stop the ship and wait aside.
On the other side of the pier, the Second Liberty Ship began to unload. This time, it was the arms and supplies sold by Datang Group to the Ice Kingdom.
Boxes of grenades, a hundred heavy machine guns and matching bullets, plus 4,500 second-hand needle guns.
Of course, what is even more frightening is that Tang Mo also sent the dwarves 10 cars converted into armored vehicles, as well as 150,000 sets of special thickened cotton-padded clothes.
Only three free ships delivered enough supplies for Everwinter City to digest for a while. Because the third free ship's cargo warehouse is filled with various mechanical equipment, enough for Everwinter City to build several factories.
The same scene is also happening in Neverwinter City.
Because here there is rubber and steel that Datang Group urgently needs for industrial development. It is also an important and indispensable raw material supply base.
Hence, the construction of Neverwinter City is also something Datang Group is worrying about.
The people who built this place were not hired workers or slaves, but hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war. The two kingdoms of Shiron and Talon were destroyed, and naturally there were countless prisoners of war who had to perform hard labor to redeem their lives.
These poor people cannot receive wages. In order to survive, they can only work honestly for the Datang Group.
Compared to building a long railway in the Ice Kingdom, the construction of Neverwinter City is much simpler - it is on an island, so only a port is needed.
When the five free ships headed south and entered the dock of Neverwinter, which was rebuilt among the rubble, the place was no longer lifeless.
A large amount of supplies were unloaded on the dock, giving everyone hope. The entire city is about to be resurrected, and in the hands of the Datang Group, it will be resurrected quickly!
As the saying goes, when the war stops, it is the time when everyone starts to innovate their own weapons.
In the past month or so, the competition between Datang Group and Cyric Consortium seems to have become more intense than during the war.
The Cyric Consortium won orders from six kingdoms to sell a bolt-action rifle called the Cyric Type 1 rifle.
This rifle is the 1888 Committee-style rifle that Tang Mo leaked to Sirik. This weapon is mediocre in performance, but at least it is comparable to the K3 rifle of the Datang Group.
With this weapon and the traditional influence of Cyric, they still made a lot of money from selling weapons.
After all, the kingdoms where they can still exert influence are all directly facing the huge pressure from the expansionist countries supported by the Datang Group.
The Three Kings Alliance has really risen at the speed of light in the past six months. These three countries have more or less obtained the benefits they wanted in the 11-nation war.
The Kingdom of Wright once again destroyed a country in this war, and it also destroyed a country with lightning speed.
After a series of annexations of several surrounding countries, Wright VII finally couldn't stand it any longer and began his own path to becoming emperor.
Datang Group also supports the king to become the emperor, so the rumors of the Lions Empire have been in the dust, and the emperor is also wholeheartedly preparing for his enthronement ceremony.
Similarly, the Kingdom of Dorne, which has always been quietly making a fortune, also gained a lot from this 11-nation war.
It destroyed the Kingdom of Shiron and occupied more than 70% of the territory of the Kingdom of Tarun. Its land area was almost the same as that of the Lions Empire.
That is to say, just after the war, the king of the Kingdom of Dorne was not yet confident about these new occupied areas, otherwise he might be clamoring to build a Dorne Empire.
In total, it seems that only the Kingdom of Susas has not caught up with this wave of expansion.
However, although Susas did not continue to expand, they firmly digested the previously occupied areas and completed domestic political reforms.
In fact, if we simply discuss the future development potential, the Kingdom of Susas seems to be stronger. This is something Tang Mo has long discussed with other Datang Group executives.
So, for Tang Mo, or for all races in this world, peace is just an interlude of upgrading weapons and recuperating, only war is eternal!
Just after the Spring Plowing Festival this year, Susas announced the purchase of the K3 rifle from Datang Group as the kingdom’s standard weapon.
Three days later, the Minister of Defense of the Lions Empire announced that the Lions Empire would purchase 100,000 K3 rifles, 1,000 heavy machine guns, and 600 artillery pieces of various types from the Datang Group to replace existing weapons.
Just 5 hours later, Dorn's envoy hurried into Harry's office, and then Dorn announced the purchase of 50,000 rifles, 1,200 machine guns, and 700 artillery pieces of various types from Datang Group.
However, what is surprising is that despite the Datang Group’s constant lobbying in the Nanla Empire and the acquisition of people like Mo Kangsen, the Nanla Empire still chose the Cyric 1 rifle for rifle procurement. Interestingly, after purchasing the Cyric 1 rifle, the Nanla Empire turned to the Datang Group for machine gun procurement. At the same time, it also paid heavily to buy the blueprints and manufacturing authorization for the Bunas-class battleship.
Although Datang Group has suffered a slight setback in the arms business, its development in other fields has been incredibly fast.
It only took more than two months for the railway between Bingjing City and Yucheng to be connected. The cross-border railway from Ice Crystal City to the Kingdom of Susas was also opened to traffic smoothly.
Although the railway going south from Jade City has not yet been connected to the railway line going north from Dorne King City, it is estimated that it will be within a few months.
All countries that build railways use the Datang Group’s standards for track width. Both Cyric and Datang Group use the same standards, so everyone has no choice at all.
The construction of Lanes City was still going on, and Lanes I was not idle. While waiting for the construction of the royal city to be completed, he led troops to quell two regional riots, which was considered to have stabilized his rule.
Datang Group’s medicines, fertilizers, and daily necessities have become new hot commodities. After the war, the economy recovered, and the concept of retaliatory consumption was deliberately indulged, so these products became popular.
Step by step, the areas controlled by the Datang Group, including the three countries of Leyte, Dorne, and Sussus, have begun to establish new education and new medical systems.
This influence is subtle. After all, after seeing the success of these things in Bunas, no one can remain unmoved.
Tang Mo has not been so busy recently. While focusing on pilot training, he also held a football invitational tournament in Longcheng.
In the stands of the stadium, Tang Mo looked at the players running on the field dumbfounded, feeling quite sour and happy as a direct descendant of China.
The players of the Bunas Egrets were celebrating their goal. The young striker waved his arms and cheered loudly to the almost silent stadium audience.
Before, there were cheers and laughter here, and cheers for cheers kept coming and going. But 20 minutes into the second half, the entire stadium seemed to be silent.
13 to 0... This is a score full of fantasy. The Dragon City Elite team did not score a single goal, but the Egret team scored 13 goals.
The entire elite team was stunned. Although they knew that the Egret Team was very strong, they really didn't expect that the Egret Team would become so strong after being acquired.
"I'm beginning to regret it..." Tang Mo looked at Marquis Egret beside him, his tone full of sourness: "Where did you find these two strikers?"
"Hahaha! One of them is my son! Didn't you expect that?" Marquis Egret was extremely proud. He felt that the best business he had ever done in his life was to buy the Bunas Egret team.
"No. 11?" Tang Mo really didn't expect that Marquis Egret had the athletic genes to be a football forward.
"No, it's No. 17!" Marquis Egret pointed to the field: "No. 11 is my bodyguard. He is really talented."
“Make a price! No. 11...I bought it.” Tang Mo felt that it was necessary to put down his posture and find a good striker for the Dragon City Elite Team.
“Just playing football?” Marquis Egret did not refuse.
"Yes, just play football and sign a contract." Tang Mo didn't want to buy a slave, let alone the transfer rules he drew up himself.
"Then I would rather sell you No. 17...my son." Marquis Egret said unexpectedly.
Tang Mo was startled, and then he guessed what the Marquis of the Egret was thinking: his son was in the Dragon City Elite Team, and if the Elite Team won, his son would naturally be in the limelight, and everyone would still think of the Marquis of the Egret.
And if the elite team is still weak, then the Egret team wins, and the Egret Marquis is still the big winner - this is the so-called win-win, which means he wins twice.
“You are a natural football player!” Tang Mo also had to admit that Marquis Egret was still very business-savvy, and there were also smart and wise people in this world.
So he nodded: "I want your son. I will send him to Longcheng University for training later, and I will pay for the expenses."
“The Egret family thanks you for your generosity, Mr. Tang!” Marquis Egret restrained his smile and said gratefully: “I will always stand with Datang Group.”
"Oh!..." While the two were talking, the Dragon City Elite team finally found a loophole in the opponent's defense and scored a face-saving goal.
The score on the field became 13 to 1, and the Dragon City audience in the stands finally burst into cheers, proving that they were all still alive...
The fly in the ointment... It seems to make sense... Looking at the painful score on the field, Tang Mo lamented in his heart - there are some things that the stronger you are, the less you can play, there is no way.
