Chapter 1120: 1121 Pretend to be dumb
Chapter 11201121 Pretending to be mute
When he heard that the foreign affairs department was giving up his job, the Minister of Industry did not say a word and turned red in the face.
He didn't speak, but the naval generals were reluctant. They were afraid that the industrial sector would talk nonsense again and that their plan to purchase "advanced and easy-to-use" Datang Empire aircraft carriers would suffer further setbacks.
So, the general on the navy side immediately said in a weird voice: "In my opinion, it is better to buy one of their aircraft carriers honestly. If you buy it for a while, you will always get certain technologies earlier than others."
In his opinion, the aircraft carrier used by the Tang people must be the best, the most powerful and advanced, and it also represents the most advanced level of the aircraft carrier.
As for the gadgets designed by the industrial sector...that's really hard to describe. Look at the use of the battleships built by the industrial sector in the past. Which one is reliable and reassuring?
They are not willing to use inferior equipment produced in their own country! They want to buy personal supplies from the Tang Empire! As long as they have enough funds, they are willing to spend money to buy it!
Every detail of those equipment has been polished repeatedly, revealing a sense of surprise in every way.
Even if the warships purchased by the Lyons Empire are outdated and sold by the Datang Group, the soldiers will have enough space to eat, the ventilation in the sleeping areas will be smooth, and the drainage of the toilets will be reasonable and easy to use...
Therefore, no matter what period of time, everyone is willing to serve on the warships purchased from the Tang Empire: even in a state of war, the survival rate of those warships purchased from the Tang Empire is inexplicably much higher.
This is true: the warships of the Tang Empire have a low probability of being killed in explosions, they sink slowly, their watertight cabins are of good quality, and their passages are more reasonable when escaping from danger! The sailors even reported that the lifeboats and swimming rings of the Tang Empire's warships were arranged very smoothly, and self-rescue was faster.
After obtaining the approval of Lions I, the navy general quickly added: "In addition, we can purchase an aircraft carrier and ask Tang for some aircraft carrier design experience, which can save some time for our own aircraft carrier design and manufacturing. "
His meaning is very simple: Your design departments and industrial manufacturing shipyards should all learn from their skills! Learn more details to make the boat you build easier to use!
Stop making the canteen smaller just to fit in an extra artillery piece! Stop designing the toilet next to a dormitory with no ventilation! Please! Stop cheating!
"This plan is easier than the one just now, and it is somewhat operational. The industrial sector should really reflect on it. Don't be too ambitious. Only by being down-to-earth can you build good weapons." Foreign Minister Somy will still add insult to injury. Yes, he glanced at the Minister of Industry, who had been silent for a while, and added another mocking blow.
As if he heard an arrow piercing his heart and leaving a sound of piercing wind, the Minister of Industry was almost ready to have a one-on-one fair duel with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Somy.
However, he calmed down. After all, he had indeed lost someone this time. It was better to keep a low profile now, otherwise it would be easy for His Majesty the Emperor to make a fool of himself.
So he swallowed his saliva and simply thought he was mute to the end. Anyway, I won’t say anything anymore. You navy and foreign affairs department can be as disparaging as you like!
Just now he wanted to interrupt, but now he has made up his mind and shut up! Abba Abba Abba? What can you do to me? Anyway, I am a minister of industry, and there is nothing wrong with my work. Who can do anything to me? Have the ability? Are you biting me?
Lines I thought about the offer of 190 million gold coins, and he felt that his flesh was aching. That’s money! That's close to 200 million gold coins!
At this time, he was even a little envious of the emperor of the Susas Empire, which was sandwiched between the Lions Empire and the Yangmu Empire... At least, the other party didn't have to invest so much money in building a navy!
Yes, the Susus Empire was a landlocked country, although it was economically relatively isolated and its national power was relatively weak. But saving money is really saving money! How much money did a navy save? Five hundred million? 800 million? More than one billion, right?
"Then do it! Send a telegram to the special envoy immediately and ask him to hurry up and buy an aircraft carrier from the Tang Dynasty! 190 million...just thinking about it makes my body ache!" Lions I, who felt his liver was shaking, also bit his head. Ya made the decision.
He was really in pain, not pretending at all. He could feel that the money spent was filled with his blood.
At the end of the meeting, in order to show that he valued naval construction and national defense development, he finally managed his expression, put on a calm expression and said: "But it can make our coastline safer. , this investment is worth it.”
…
Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, had another good weather. As the Mirage War entered the cooling-off period for island construction, the news about the frontline victory published in the newspapers began to become less and less.
Indeed, except for some slaves who are talking about the topic of "new home", everyone's attention has been shifted to other things. After all, it seems that the extra land recently acquired by the Tang Empire is more important than the distant South Island.
Because the bridge over Zangjian Gorge has been built, the road directly from the Tang Empire to Jiange has been opened to traffic. And Jiange... is now the territory of the Tang Empire.
Fengjiang, Xiajuan, Wanliang, Wasteland, Jiange, Nanku, Guiguang, Shanping... so many cities have been included in the territory of the Tang Empire. How many people can still care about the one who goes to sea from Beiyuan? The South Island can only be reached by sailing 1,000 kilometers?
I am still concerned about it, after all, it is also the territory of the Tang Empire. However, the Tang Empire's belief that it must win has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Naturally, no one will put too much enthusiasm into a must-win war.
From a territorial point of view, the Tang Empire has surpassed the Great China Empire and has become an unprecedented empire with the largest land area and the longest coastline in the world.
In order to manage the empire, the state machinery of the Tang Empire was always operating at full speed. But it was so big that Tang Mo found that if he didn't have a jet plane, he might not be able to cover his territory in a short time.
The good news is that he does have a private jet, and it is an early and reliable model from Boeing, with a full safety factor.
The bad news is that the aircraft is still on the assembly line in the workshop, and it will take some time until it is completed.
This morning, Imperial Chief of Staff Loew came to Tang Mo's office to report the latest battle situation: the 9th Army had cleared the South Island, and the Great South Bay could already berth small transport ships.
The handling capacity of the South Island has begun to recover, and the Tang Kingdom's expeditionary force has truly established a foothold on the South Island. This was good news, good news that made Tang Mo very excited.
However, the two people finally talked about the soldiers who died in the battle. This time the losses of the Tang Army were really the largest in all previous wars.
Of the 6,000 paratroopers, 1,391 were killed and more than 800 were wounded. The Marine Corps landed more than 12,000 pioneers, and 2,118 people were killed, which is not a small number.
“I let the heroic sound of the cannon ring through the sky so that you don’t need to rely on your flesh and blood to block the enemy’s swords and guns!” Tang Mo looked at the sunshine outside the window and tapped his fingers regularly on the document.
His mood was a little heavy: "I once dreamed that my soldiers were trapped in a building. The enemy attacked from morning to evening. Their tanks smashed the glass of the building, and their machine guns smashed the roof. flag, but my soldiers still did not retreat."
"Those brave soldiers called the artillery behind them in the room to fire at their positions. They wanted to die together with the enemies who rushed into the room! Their bodies were ignited with fire, but they still launched a final charge towards the enemy..." He He was talking about a dream he had, but no one knew that it was a clip from a film and television work he saw on the Internet before he traveled through time.
Those seemingly tragic scenes, touching dialogues...compared with the real war, they are just the most joyful corners of hell.
Loew could feel that scene, but he still firmly assured Tang Mo: "There is no way they will retreat! Your Majesty! You are their sun, and they are willing to fight for you to the death! As long as you give the order, we will I am willing to fight to the end of the world for you.”
"Listen to me...Lew. That day I woke up from my dream, and then recalled the past from Bunas to today...I dare not slack off, so that those soldiers who are willing to die for me do not need to be trapped Use your own body to meet the enemy's shells in the building!" Tang Mo interrupted Loew, and then continued to talk about his thoughts.
"I would rather give them jet fighters, give them tanks and cannons, give them missiles! Give them the most advanced weapons! Let them be the ones who fire outside the house, let them be the ones who test the loyalty of others!" he sighed after finishing speaking. Take a breath. He wants to give the most loyal people the most powerful weapons, give them stealth fighters, give them Dongfeng missiles, give them electromagnetic catapult aircraft carriers...Give them! Give it all to them! Let them go for the win! Let them gain honor without having to sacrifice their lives!
“Make sure that the pension will continue to be paid! There can be no mistakes! Keep an eye on this matter yourself!” Finally, he ordered.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Loew stood at attention and saluted, assuring Tang Mo. The Tang Empire was founded by force, and no one dared to be careless in military-related work.

As usual, happy birthday.
