Chapter 396: 396 Temple wins
Chapter 396 The 396 temple is likely to win
"I understand." So, Tang Mo nodded, stared at the map and expressed his thoughts: "However, I have to consider that once the war reaches a stalemate, various changes may occur."
"First of all, we have to consider the... mirage country in the north of Zheng State! They are a naval power and have ambitions..." He released the hand holding his chin and pointed at the northern area of Zheng State with his finger: "You see, they have occupied most of the islands near Zheng State. If we make slow progress in the war with Zheng State, I am worried that they will make their own choice... either attack us or attack Zheng State!"
Those islands that originally belonged to the Zheng State, or may have belonged to the Zheng State earlier, are now obviously controlled by the Mirage State.
These goblins are very ferocious, and Zheng Guo is in a state of decay. It is obvious that the combat power of the two sides is not on the same level.
Furthermore, Mirage is a country based on the sea, and it is obviously more attentive than Zheng in naval construction. It is not inconceivable that it can defeat Zheng.
Compared to the Zheng State, the Mirage State was obviously in the rising stage, with stronger national power, stronger military strength, and more aggressiveness.
With the existence of such a neighboring country, Zheng Guo will definitely suffer some losses. However, with the backing of the Great China Empire, Mirage did not have the ambition to swallow up Zheng Guo for a while.
But if Datang Group intervenes, the nature of the matter will completely change. If Mirage unites with Zheng State to attack Datang Group, Datang Group will encounter some difficulties anyway.
Similarly, if the Mirage State takes advantage of the opportunity of the Datang Group's attack to invade part of Zheng's territory, wouldn't the Datang Group just make a wedding dress for others?
Therefore, Datang Group must be prepared in this regard, at least to ensure that it can get the best parts of Zheng State, so as to ensure its own profits.
If the effort is thankless, then the economic advantages that Datang Group has accumulated before, as well as the psychological advantages that are invincible in every battle, will no longer exist.
It will take several years of accumulation to recover. This is not a waste of time, and it will definitely make Tang Mo depressed for a long time.
“On the other hand, Zheng’s overlord, the Dahua Empire, will also intervene... If Dahua sends troops, what choices will we make?” Tang Mo paused and expressed another concern.
Excluding the obstruction of the Mirage State, Tang Mo also had to seriously consider the attitude of the Great China Empire - if the Great China Empire took action, Tang Mo's operations in Zheng State were likely to go bankrupt quickly.
The Dahua Empire is not an empire on the scale of the Nanla Empire or the Lions Empire. The two sides are not on the same dimension at all. The land area of the Dahua Empire is five times that of the Nanla Empire, and its population is nine times that of the Nanla Empire!
This is no joke. Once there is a conflict with the Dahua Empire, hundreds of thousands of troops can easily attack. Even if the Datang Group has an absolute advantage in tactics, the situation will be very dangerous.
At that time, the border will be unstable and domestic resistance will rise. Whether it can gain a foothold in Zheng State becomes a question.
If the war is protracted and the Datang Group can only transport supplies across the sea, and the consumption exceeds the replenishment, Tang Mo will taste the taste of failure.
After talking about the two concerns, Tang Mo expressed his request for this war: "So, I prefer a quick victory!"
"Well..." After hearing Tang Mo's explanation, Loew also understood the importance of speed, so he fell into deep thought.
“Uh…” Tiger also stared at the map, seeming to be thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds. However, this method seemed difficult to think of, so the two of them fell into a long silence.
“You can’t use a small number of troops for an assault because you’re afraid of falling into passivity.” After a while, Loew finally spoke, just muttering to himself: “There are as many troops as possible...”
“More troops will make supplies more difficult, so we must compress our own troops as much as possible.” After hearing Loew’s muttering, Tiger also murmured to himself.
"We must fight quickly, otherwise it will attract the attention of the surrounding forces..." Staring at the Great China Empire and the Mirage Kingdom next to him, Loew spoke again.
“The attack is fast but not safe enough. I am worried that I will not have enough control over the surrounding areas...” Looking at Zheng Guo’s huge size, Tiger also said a little depressed.
“It’s really difficult to handle.” Love sighed as if the ball was deflated.
“Yes, it’s difficult to handle.” Tiger also sighed, with a sad face.
“In short, no matter how you look at it, military expansion is something that needs to be done immediately.” Le Fu looked at Tang Mo.
Tiger also nodded: "No matter what we do, expanding the force to 4 divisions is a necessary choice. If necessary, expanding to 6 divisions is not too much."
"Tactical matters will be left to the staff. Loew! Prepare 3 sets of various plans!" Tang Mo looked at Loew: "What I want is a feasible plan!"
“Understood! Master.” Loew responded immediately.
"Tiger! You take charge of the work! Expand the army and prepare for war! 7 divisions of troops! Work in Beiling and Longdao Bunas at the same time! I want to expand the available troops to nearly 100,000 people as soon as possible!" Tang Mo looked at Loew again. Loew nodded and assured: "As long as the funds and equipment can keep up, the expansion of the troops only needs to follow the planned process. It is not difficult."
After finishing speaking, he added: "The really difficult thing is to convince Wright, Susus and Dorne that we are not targeting them..."
"This is my job." Tang Mo nodded, and then smiled - a confident smile that a strong man shows when facing a challenge: "If we win this battle, Let’s build our own empire instead!”
Leif and Tiger were stunned for a moment, and then both of them showed expressions of ecstasy. They raised their chins and stood at attention to salute Tang Mo: "We are looking forward to the day when the master becomes the emperor!"
"Go!" Tang Mo waved his hand, indicating that the two of them could leave: "Don't talk nonsense when you go out! Do you understand?"
"Yes!" The two stood at attention and saluted again, and then walked out of the room in a hurry. Tang Mo walked to the glass window and overlooked the hall below, looking at the crazy rich people waving their arms and buying various products.
No matter which way you look at it, this event has just begun.
"40 cars!" At the dwarf's stall, a farmer from the Nanla Empire generously placed an order: "I want to reserve 40 cars!"
His farm requires a large number of agricultural vehicles. Although the dwarf's car is smaller, it is much cheaper, and the price-performance ratio is still very high.
What's more, most of the parts used in the dwarf's car are standard parts of the Datang Group, so replacement and repair are easy, and most faults can be solved by oneself.
After all, the Dwarf car directly uses the production line that Datang Group has eliminated, so it is not surprising that many parts are common with Datang Group's T-type cars.
“I want to order 100 artillery pieces!” On the other side, a representative from a distant country said in front of the arms exhibition stand belonging to Beiling.
Because Datang Group's artillery was too expensive, he decided to order the cheaper Beiling artillery.
I heard that the two factories are closely related. The sales staff of Beiling Military Factory hinted implicitly that the production lines used in their factory are from Datang Group, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
After careful consideration, the representative made his decision: "I want to visit your factory! As long as I can, I will order 100 artillery pieces!"
“Okay!” The salesperson smiled and nodded in agreement. This was a big deal, and the commission he could get was quite a lot. Of course, he smiled like a flower.
"We need this kind of textile equipment! We are a big exporter of cloth. If we can't keep up with the times, we will be eliminated." Next to the textile machine booth, two ministers from a certain country were constantly communicating. .
Just now, they saw the production speed of the new textile machine, which is much more advanced than the old textile machine.
If other countries begin to fully popularize this kind of textile machines, their advantages will be wiped out, and even national finances will be affected.
"I have sent people back to the country..." Another minister explained helplessly.
"Idiot! Send someone immediately to buy a generator and a telegraph machine! If you don't have a telegraph machine, will you send someone back on horseback to report the message next time?" His boss became angry and cursed. .
"Yes, I'm sorry..." The official bowed his head in embarrassment and admitted his mistake.
“I want 100 watches like this! I want them immediately!” Not far away, a businessman shouted excitedly.
An ordinary watch that can be bought for two gold coins in Bunas can be resold in other areas for an estimated five gold coins!
Only a fool would not do this kind of business! As long as you run back and forth a few times, you can accumulate a large amount of money, then switch to other businesses and make a fortune!
In Bunas, who doesn’t know that you can make a lot of money just by doing something? Can't you see that even those who open chain stores selling hamburgers are already rich?
The owner of the watch stall over there was already grinning from ear to ear—from morning to now, his goods have almost been sold out! Compared with those expensive luxury watches, a watch merchant like him actually earns quite a lot. In a sense, he even earns more.
This is just like a car dealer that sells Mercedes-Benz, and it will definitely make more money in a year than a car dealer that sells Rolls-Royce.
"Such a good method, why didn't anyone think of it before?" Seeing the crazy look of the businessman, an official from a country who had just been reprimanded said with emotion.
“Whoever thought of this exposition...must be a genius.” His boss saw the eye-catching ship model and sighed: “A genius who can change the world.”
