Chapter 444: 444 confident
Chapter 444 Chapter 444 Be confident
The Tang Dynasty Group used a tired strategy to build bridges and roads in Zheng State to lay the foundation for its own invasion. This in itself is very cruel.
Therefore, everyone at Datang Group is reluctant to bring up this topic, and Dandelion works as low-key and covertly as possible.
In short, Datang Group will shine as a savior in the future, so its feathers must be clean.
However, a conspiracy to ruin the reputation of Zheng State and develop infrastructure has already begun in Zheng State. All Tang Mo had to do was wait.
While waiting, many interesting things will happen. For example, before Tang Mo was preparing to return to the dragon's lair, an unexpected visitor arrived in Bunas.
The special envoy from Zheng State arrived in Bunas four months after the Battle of Dongwan Island broke out, and came to see Tang Mo.
Tang Mo also wanted to know what this special envoy from afar wanted to say to him, so he postponed his return to Dragon Island and stayed in Bunas for another day.
The appearance of this minister of the State of Zheng is nothing to say. He can be described as having a dignified appearance. His posture is upright and his manners are extraordinary. He has been in a high position for a long time and has developed the calm aura of a superior person. It is quite eye-catching to look at.
"Sir! We have learned that your Tang Dynasty Group has seized Dongwan Island from the Mirage State." After the special envoy of the State of Zheng saluted, he went straight to the topic and said.
The other person is very handsome, which makes the atmosphere more harmonious. Even if Tang Mo is not a good-looking person, looking at a handsome guy and looking at an ugly guy are completely different emotions. Everyone has the same mood.
Tang Mo was in a good mood, so he nodded without denying: "There is indeed such a thing."
This matter couldn't be hidden, and Tang Mo didn't want to hide it. After all, most of the countries surrounding the Endless Sea were frantically transporting supplies to Dongwan Island.
Datang Group has always been a party that exports materials, so the trade surplus has always been huge, and all countries are suffering.
Now, finally, due to the insufficient transportation capacity of Datang Group, it has to purchase a large amount of materials from various countries for Dongwan Island. This is a good opportunity for various countries to return blood, and of course no one is willing to let it go.
Therefore, the rough processing parts from the dwarves, various rare metals from Osa Port, food from South Water Port, machinery from Bunas and Dragon Island, cement from Hot Wind Port, and rubber products from Neverwinter City are all going crazy. Converging towards Dongwan Island.
In addition, Datang Group also purchased vegetables from the nearby Mirage State to replenish Dongwan Island. At the same time, it also secretly bought a large amount of grain and vegetables from Zheng State and smuggled them to Dongwan…
This will quickly improve the quality of life on Dongwan Island, but it will also definitely expose the fact that Dongwan Island has changed hands.
"Then, on behalf of the State of Zheng, this envoy formally requests you to return Dongwan Island, which originally belonged to the State of Zheng, to the State of Zheng..." The special envoy of the State of Zheng bent down in a polite manner.
"Huh?" Tang Mo was caught off guard, and for a moment he didn't realize what the other party was.
He has seen people who rob openly, people who cheat, people who play emotional cards... He has never seen the current battle.
The other party seemed to think that Tang Mo was stunned because he did not hear his request clearly, so he acted as if it were natural and repeated his previous request: "Please kindly transfer Dongwan Island, which originally belonged to Zheng State, to Return the Zheng Kingdom... The civilians on Dongwan Island, as well as the entire Zheng Kingdom, will remember your generosity and open-mindedness..."
"Wait! Wait! What do you mean? You mean, I sent troops, traveled thousands of miles, killed the enemy in **** battles, and captured Dongwan Island from the people of Mirage...and then gave it to Zheng for free? Tang Mo reached out to interrupt the other party, frowned and asked.
He finally understood what the other party meant: The other party's money was robbed by a villain and they didn't dare to ask for it. Now they heard that the mafia hacked the villain to death and took the money, so they came to demand the account. …
Holy shit, what kind of logic is this?
Tang Mo felt stupid.
You think that the villain is hard to beat and not easy to deal with, so you end up going to the mafia to pretend to be stupid and collect money? Damn it, have you never seen how the mafia kills people?
Mirage is not easy to deal with. You, Zheng Guo, can’t defeat it. We, Datang Group, are just soft persimmons? Don’t you know that there are still more than 200,000 goblin slaves (some slaves have not yet been paid) who are selling themselves to pay off their debts?
The Zheng State’s envoy continued without blushing: “Sir, it’s not a gift for free, it’s a return! Dongwan Island has always been the territory of the Zheng State, and all of the Zheng State...”
Tang Mo interrupted the other party again and asked for confirmation: "Wait a minute, didn't you cede Dongwan Island to Mirage?"
The other party was so confident that he was a little worried about whether there was still an unsettled mess between Mirage and Zheng. As a result, when this was brought up, the other party still took it for granted and said straightforwardly: "Yes, but now that Dongwan Island is occupied by you, the treaty between us and the Mirage Kingdom is naturally invalid."
"You actually want to claim the island I captured from the war with the Mirage Kingdom with just a few words? Interesting! Interesting!" Tang Mo raised his eyebrows, feeling that if the other party didn't have a problem with his IQ, he would be a ruthless person.
"Sir, you can't say that! Our Zheng State is a country of etiquette and has never had any conflict with your Datang Group. Therefore, there is absolutely no reason in the world for you to occupy my Dongwan Island." The other party argued hard and seemed to Makes sense.
Tang Mo is also very interested in this kind of fool. If possible, he would really like to have such a tough-minded diplomat for his own use.
So, he said with a smile: "I admire your courage very much! If you can stand here to fight for the interests of your country, you can be said to be a qualified diplomat!"
When the envoy from the State of Zheng saw Tang Mo smiling, he thought that asking for Dongwan Island was a joke, and immediately continued: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. Then, as long as you return Dongwan Island, sir, you will be the hero of our Zheng State and our country of Zheng." Guests at the Lord’s table…”
It seems that Zheng Guo is still very reasonable. They are obviously planning to rob me, but they also gave me the position of a friend and gave me a hero's hat. What expression should I use to respond at this time? Do you want to cry and thank me? Tang Mo thought with a sneer in his heart.
Then, he nodded and said coldly: "I admire you very much, so I won't kill you. But Dongwan Island is already the territory of my Datang Group, and there is nothing to discuss about this! If you Zheng The country... wants Dongwan Island... let Zheng Tong lead his own troops to get it!"
“…You! How can you call our king by his royal name?” The Zheng envoy was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Zheng Tong was the current king of Zheng.
"Don't be so incompetent and furious like a villain... This affects my previous evaluation of you! Go back and tell Zheng Tong that Dongwan Island is now the territory of Datang Group, and this matter will not change! Forever." Tang Mo reached out and hit Cut the other person off.
The special envoy of the State of Zheng frowned and reminded Tang Mo: "Then, Mr. Tang! You will lose the friendship of the State of Zheng!"
From his point of view, Tang Mo is just a businessman. If he loses such a huge market in Zheng, he will make a lot less money. Tang Mo doesn't seem to realize this yet.
"Whatever! As long as you are happy." Tang Mo lost interest in continuing the conversation and ended the boring conversation.
…
A month passed in such a hurry. Tang Mo had already returned to Dragon Island, where he calmed down the impact of the war on Datang Group. Only then did new news about Zheng Guo reach Tang Mo's ears.
You Lin opened his mouth and reported the latest information about Zheng Guo: "Zheng Guo has officially purchased 30,000 Type 1 rifles and 200 130 mm caliber breech field guns from Cyric... In addition, they also purchased Goblins. There are 1,000 cars and 500 horses imported from Dahua.”
"In addition, they also ordered 10 paddle steamers from Sirik. Even if it is placed on our side, this is a large purchase contract." She said while handing the relevant documents to Tang Mo: "This information has been confirmed by Cyric, and it is true."
"It's really not that small. It seems that there are still some people in Zheng Guo doing things. Otherwise, they are all bastards, and there is no way they would have such a violent reaction." Tang Mo put down the report on the formation of the 1st Armored Division. , looked up at Youlin.
You Lin immediately continued to explain the details: "In fact, this is not the case. Zheng Guo ordered so many weapons mainly to win over Cyric and prevent the invasion of Mirage."
“Oh? How come you can see it?” Tang Mo asked curiously.
You Lin gave a reasonable analysis: "We learned that more than half of these orders were signed by Zheng Guo with Sirik before he found us. Probably less than one-third of them were purchased yesterday. "
"Even if it's only one-third, it's still a lot." Tang Mo thought for a while and felt that Zheng Guo's purchase of so many modern weapons might still have an impact on Datang Group's attack on Zheng Guo.
Nangong Hong, who was standing aside, reminded him: "Master, we should think of a way. This is a large amount of arms. In the past, it was enough to change the outcome of a war. If we underestimate the enemy, we may have to pay a heavy price." A heavy price to pay.”
Tang Mo stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't be anxious. It will take some time for them to learn to use these weapons. When the war actually starts, it will still depend on whether their tactics are suitable."
"I can assure you, Mr. Nangong, no matter how big the waves they make, they can't stop us from attacking Zheng Guo!" After saying that, he took out a cigarette and looked at the new model that had been captured by Dragon Island. The counselor who was completely conquered by the weapon said: "Do you think it is possible for us to lose?"
"Impossible...absolutely impossible! How could we...lose!" Nangong Hong waved his hand in denial.
