Chapter 500: 500 pranks
Chapter 500 500 Pranks
"Waste! It's all waste! We managed to stay one step ahead of the Datang Group, but this advantage was completely destroyed by those Gobels!" Sophia got angry and threw a high-end glass imported from Bunas. On the ground, the crystal fragments immediately scattered everywhere.
Rich people seem to like to vent their emotions. When they are angry, they like to throw something valuable to show their status.
The feeling of being able to control the life and death of all things is fascinating, and Sophia seems not to be immune to this.
This woman, who has now controlled two-thirds of Cyric's real power through means, her beautiful face at this moment looks a little distorted due to excessive annoyance.
She planned and worked hard, and manufactured it in the most hidden production factory in the area where she had the highest control. She managed to hide it from the steel chariot produced by the Datang Group's intelligence agency, but it did not have the final say on the battlefield. .
In fact, this is also a very reasonable state: in the Battle of the Somme, the British army first invested in secret weapons such as tanks. Although it had a certain effect, it did not completely penetrate the German defense line and did not achieve the expected results. .
Cyric used his own power and transported the 50 airships he had accumulated and 300 Cyric version tanks to the front line at all costs. The original idea was to tear apart Dorne's defense line and open up the line with Lions. Contact, threaten the front line of Yucheng, create pressure on the Tang Kingdom that is advancing westward, and involve Tang Mo to continue to expand westward.
But who knew that 50 airships would be intercepted just as they entered the battle? Dorne was obviously well prepared. This loss made the Gobel Air Force almost useless in name only, and was no longer able to continue launching attacks.
In fact, Cyric has been affected to a certain extent: in order to support the Goblin Kingdom, Cyric has transferred a group of airship commander pilots, resulting in a serious shortage of airship pilots for Cyric.
These airship pilots are all officers who need to be literate and have at least a certain cultural foundation. Each of them is a very rare technical talent.
For Cyric, although the loss of hundreds of airship crew members is painful, it is far from breaking the bones. At least Sofia is still training similar crew members, and there are a lot of them.
What really makes Sophia feel uncomfortable is actually the "chariot" driver she has carefully trained and finally accumulated.
These people have to fight in a tank-like tank and have a certain degree of mechanical control ability. In fact, they also need to be trained separately.
They are much more expensive than ordinary infantry and are not troublesome to train. But such crew members have lost more than 3,000 people in the battle against Gobel!
It is not an exaggeration at all, this already accounts for about two-thirds of the tank crew members participating in the war, which is really too much.
Sofia has almost tried her best to cultivate so many talents. As a result, the thunderous strike she had high hopes for did not have the effect she expected.
Originally, Sofia's plan was to use the loss of these crew members to at least destroy Dorne, strategically delay the development of the Datang Group, and at the same time contact the Lions Empire, which was dissatisfied with the Datang Group, to form an alliance. stand up.
In this way, at least in terms of strategic situation, Sophia can regain the initiative and force Tang Mo to make a strategic choice.
If Tang Mo chooses to keep his elite Jade City Industrial Zone in Bunas, then the Tang Kingdom will have to transport the main force that has been painstakingly transported to the Western Front back to Bunas to take charge.
The Tang army crossed the endless sea back and forth to mobilize troops, and had to give up the strategy operation on the western front. This was obviously an advantage for Cyric.
At least Tang Mo will no longer be able to attack the Chu State, Qi State and the Dahua Empire in a short period of time. Cyric is confident that he will get more time to help these countries build a sufficiently modern army and deploy enough defense facilities on the border. Come dig holes and lay mines for the Tang army.
Then if Tang Mo grits his teeth and doesn't look back to deal with Yucheng and Bunas, Sophia can unite with the Lions Empire, attack the Tang army staying in Bunas from the southeast two lines, and drive the Tang army into the sea!
By then, all the elite industrial zones such as Yucheng and Bunas will be acquired, and Cyric's production capacity will be increased to a terrifying level.
Once this goal is achieved, the two countries of Gobel and Lions will become the most powerful military group in the world. No matter how powerful the Tang army is, they can only look across the endless sea and sigh!
The ability to achieve such a strategic goal is the reason why Sophia is determined to invest so much capital. But she invested enough money, but she didn't get what she wanted.
"Now, we must consider the pressure exerted by the Tang Kingdom on the Lines Empire. Lines I is isolated and may fall to the Tang Group again." A countess sat on a sofa in the distance and said to said an exasperated Sophia.
After finishing talking about the business, she added with care: "Anger will make your beautiful face full of wrinkles. Don't destroy such a perfect thing, okay? My dear?"
"I just can't swallow this! I fought for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, but they couldn't seize it! These idiots! Sooner or later, my great cause will be destroyed in the hands of these fools who fail to succeed and fail!" Although Sophia said Still full of servility, but much restrained. She stared at the shards of glass at her feet that were as clear as diamonds, and continued to speak with a gloomy face: "Now, what should we do to reverse this defeat?"
"We can launch another fierce attack! Originally, we didn't expect the isolated Lions I to open up any situation in the north. For the rest, we can continue to attack from the Gobel front." The Countess replied.
“You mean?” Sofia glanced at the other party and confirmed.
"Yes, we can recruit troops from all regions in the south and transport them to Gobol as quickly as possible relying on the gradually improved railway network." The Countess suggested.
"I can't get so many artillery shells in a short time, and I still have tanks." Sofia thought of the loss of her tank and became irritable again.
"You can't do nothing, right? This is what you taught me." The countess looked at Sophia, her face full of love.
"It would be great if they all reassured me like you." Sofia walked up to the countess and reached out to lift her chin.
“Then will there still be a place for me on your bed?” The Countess narrowed her eyes, like a kitten enjoying the caress of its owner.
"Of course, you are so charming, you are much better than those people." Sofia smiled, and her condescending aura made the countess completely confused.
“Sofia-sama...” the red-faced and emotional Countess murmured, even the fierce fighting battlefield in the north of Gobel seemed to have been forgotten.
Sofia hugged the other party's waist and had almost calmed down: "You are right! Now we would rather do something wrong than do nothing! Urgently transport the remaining tanks to Gobol! In addition, according to what you said, at least 300,000 more troops will be gathered to defeat Dorne at all costs!"
"Yes! Lady Sophia! Everything...is as you wish." The Countess was confused and immediately echoed.
At this moment, a maid hurriedly walked into the room, saluted respectfully, and then reported to Sophia: "Sir, the head maid has just sent back the news."
Sophia was slightly startled. Now she didn't know whether the head maid she sent to Bunas was from the Tang Group or Cyric.
This once confidant of hers has now become a window, a window for Cyric and Datang Group to communicate with each other.
As time went by, many rumors and rumors made her no longer trust her former head maid, but she was reluctant to bear the news that the head maid passed back, so she had to continue to use such an ambiguous chess piece.
I heard... the head maid is now almost a fan girl who is chasing after Harry, the talker of the Datang Group. She has probably told the information she knows about Cyric a long time ago.
“Bring it to me.” Sophia wanted to see how angry Datang Group would be if she launched such a big fight in Gobol.
The maid bowed slightly and handed over a piece of telegraph paper. After Sophia took the message paper, her whole body stiffened slightly, and then her eyes immediately ignited with anger.
Because this message was actually sent to her by Tang Mo himself, and it was in a rather joking tone. This made Sofia very unhappy and simply unacceptable!
She walked back to her desk and slapped the message paper on the table fiercely. The movement was too big, making her fiery red hair tremble.
The countess on the side was a little curious about what was written in the telegram, so she walked behind Sophia and said coquettishly: "My lord...what happened? Is it some bad news?"
"In a sense, it's bad news. But... the message itself is meaningless!" Sophia said coldly: "It's like a boring prank."
The countess glanced at the telegram on the table and saw that there was only a short line of text on it. However, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Because she saw clearly the content of the message: "Your new weapon is pretty good, but I call similar weapons 'tanks'. I don't like the word tank. Don't use the wrong word next time, okay."
