Chapter 392 392 New Things
“It’s so lively, why don’t you go and take a look?” Wright VII asked in the VIP room on the second floor, overlooking the crowded exhibition hall outside the glass window.
Tang Mo smiled and put down his wine glass, and said to King Wright VII: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would come here in person..."
"Lines will be put into use soon, and I have to prepare for the enthronement ceremony... Thinking of this, I would still be a little worried if I don't come to see you in person, Mr. Tang."
"There is nothing to worry about. Our cooperation has lasted more than a day or two. Since there are no problems, there will be no problems." Tang Mo shook the wine in the cup and promised to Wright VII.
"Thank you." Wright VII nodded, pretending to believe Tang Mo's words: "I heard that you have launched a lot of new technologies recently?"
Tang Mo nodded: "Yes, the production speed of Bunas-class battleships is increasing. I have built two more ships and am looking for new buyers."
Wright VII was startled for a moment, then he misunderstood and reluctantly promised: "I can pay for it."
"You should keep your money... Your Majesty the Emperor! As far as I know, your financial situation is not very good, and it will not improve in the short term." Tang Mo laughed and refused Wright VII's offer. kindness.
Wright VII breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "We are already bordering the Nanla Empire. Both empires are very vigilant... They have increased their troops on the border to guard against us... We also have to be cautious and build on the border. A line of defense.”
Tang Mo knew about this, because building a defense line was not a trivial matter. Wright VII mobilized 100,000 troops and 30,000 civilians to build large-scale construction projects on the border.
The Nanla Empire is also extremely nervous. They have also assembled 120,000 troops on the border and are also building a huge and surprisingly long defense line.
Both sides are afraid that the other side will attack them, so both sides react violently. Although Datang Group acts as an intermediary, constantly informing both sides of their intentions and trying to ease the atmosphere, the border reinforcements are still continuing.
What is even more ridiculous is that both sides purchased a large amount of cement and even a lot of steel bars for their defense lines.
But these things are produced by Datang Group and Beiling. They go through long railway and road transportation and arrive directly near the border.
Then, the Nanla Empire will take half, and the Lines Empire will take the other half, and use them on the two opposing lines of defense respectively...
Things are so magical. Most of the arms on both sides come from the Datang Group. The artillery is basically the same model, and even the number of machine guns is about the same.
But this is not the most magical thing.
The most magical thing is that when both parties were in financial constraints, they almost simultaneously thought of asking Datang Group for a loan...
Datang Group lent gold coins to two empires at the same time, and then received high interest rates. As a result, the two countries spent all the borrowed money at Datang Group into weapons and cement.
The Nanla Empire was better, and it was not so thoroughly penetrated, but the Lions Empire was different. Wright VII knew it very well, and Tang Mo knew his country's financial situation better than he did.
It is impossible for him to do anything with Tang Mo after his term is over - the finance minister of this empire is a lackey of the Datang Group, the currency used in this country is issued by the Datang Group, and almost half of the officials in this empire are trained by the Datang Group of.
With the addition of those who bribed and controlled, the Datang Group can be said to be even worse than Cyric in the past within the Lions Empire.
However, most of the time, the Datang Group did not exercise its own privileges and almost never interfered with the political orders of the Lions Empire. This allowed the conflicts between the two parties to be covered up.
"However, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry at all. I signed the contract under my leadership, and you are fully capable of repaying this debt." Tang Mo said the loan of 10 million gold coins, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
According to the financial situation of the Lions Empire, if there were no natural disasters and wars, King Lions I would be able to pay off all the debt in only 3 years.
Nan La Empire is about the same. It will take them two and a half years to repay the money they borrowed from Datang Group.
As time passed, the profits of Tang Mo's military industrial enterprises began to increase, and the number of countries purchasing weapons increased. This meant that the impact of the last war was gradually being forgotten.
A new war is brewing, and everyone is strengthening their strength in order to gain advantages and gain more benefits in future wars.
The Kingdom of Susas has completed its own series of reforms and has now entered a stage of strong military strength.
They are gearing up and sharpening their swords to target the elves in the north. And Dorne seems to be considering whether to take down Goblin, its increasingly wealthy neighbor.
Everyone has their own considerations. This is what Nangonghong mentioned. Datang Group is not an empire, but a company.
Even if you can have an influence, even if you can control most of the decisions, other people's countries are still other people's countries after all... As he spoke, Tang Mo glanced at You Lin and Alice, whose cheeks were reddened by the heat.
"Ah... I just remembered that on such a hot day, I deliberately developed a new delicacy." Tang Mo, who felt sorry for his woman, immediately snapped his fingers, then looked at Harry who was following him: "Go and get that It’s ready and served.”
Harry bowed slightly, then withdrew, and soon he came in carrying a tray, which contained several white steaming spheres on the plates.
“What is this?” Wright VII, who was also a little upset by the hot weather, asked curiously.
Tang Mo grabbed a plate and motioned for everyone to take it as they please: "My new food... I call it... ice cream."
He would not stupidly pick up a plate and hand it to Alice or Youlin. Then the two women would probably be jealous over the order.
He doesn’t give it to anyone. Isn’t this fair? Thinking of this, Tang Mo couldn't help but applaud his wisdom.
"Ice cream? It sounds good. Is it a dessert?" Wright VII picked up a plate from the tray, looked at the **** stacked in a Zigzag shape, and continued to ask curiously.
"Of course, try it?" Tang Mo pointed with a spoon, and then tasted it by himself. I have to say that there is a certain difference between ice cream made purely by hand using the best milk and ice cream made by machines in later generations.
But Tang Mo felt that in terms of the original style, this kind of ice cream seemed to be more flavorful and delicious.
"Your Majesty..." The guard behind Wright VII lowered his head and reminded.
Wright VII waved his hand in a pretentious manner, and said with an indifferent smile: "It doesn't matter! If Mr. Tang wants to poison him, I probably won't be able to escape in the palace."
Tang Mo also laughed and defended himself without thinking: "You are joking, I am just a businessman, killing... is not what I am good at."
When he said this, he seemed to have forgotten Chumluo, who had not yet been buried, and also seemed to have forgotten Jis, who was still buried on the roadside.
Of course, this is just his little secret that not many people know... As for King Gemelin, whom almost everyone knows... it seems that he has become a little transparent at this moment.
“Hahaha!” Wright VII smiled sincerely.
“Hahaha!” Tang Mo also laughed naturally.
"It's so good..." Youlin ate ice cream for the first time. He didn't have any precautions for a moment. He squinted his eyes and sighed comfortably.
Beside her, Alice had also stuffed the ice cream from the spoon into her mouth. A strong milky fragrance accompanied by an exaggerated coolness spread in her mouth.
In an instant, she fell in love with this food.
Similarly, You Lin, who was sitting next to her, could not wait to put the second spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.
When he took the first bite, Wright VII was also shocked by this food - it was not that he had never seen ice cubes in summer. On the contrary, in the past, the royal family would also store ice cubes for summer use in the cellar.
Wright VII was a little shocked to be able to make such delicious things with ice. He carefully tasted the pleasure of milk and ice melting in his mouth, and then opened his eyes in surprise: "It's really good! It's really rare. delicious.”
Tang Mo burst out laughing, because what really made him proud was not the ice cubes or the ice cream, but the fact that he created the world's first compressor and the world's first refrigerator!
Hence, he can enjoy his own ice cubes endlessly in the hot summer, and at the same time, he can also enjoy cold drinks and various refrigerated delicacies.
Unknowingly, he has transformed the world into a better place.
"How much does this cannon cost? We at Susas want to order 10 of them!" Downstairs, in the hall, the Susas officer who could no longer resist temptation pulled the salesman aside and said in a low voice.
He is currently in need of some ultimate weapons that can break open the border defense lines and catch his opponents by surprise.
The majestic-looking Maxim heavy machine gun mounted on a sandbag has now become a pitiful existence that no one cares about.
The little Tiantian of the past, after having a better, bigger and stronger choice, immediately turned into the miserable Mrs. Niu, how miserable she was.
"Take a look! Mosin-Nagant rifles are on sale! Big discount at half price! Cheap and affordable!" At the dwarf weapons exhibition stand in the distance, the salesmen shouted heartily, hoping to end their lack of attention. The tragic situation.
