Chapter 1234: 1235How could you hide it?

“How can such a thing be concealed? Do they think that the people in our intelligence department are all bad-minded?” An intelligence officer from the Tang Empire sneered and put the information he had obtained on the table.

Even if he is blind and a fool, he almost knows that the Lions Empire is expanding its military and preparing for war: their army is exercising on the seaside, and their docks are filled with steel.

 Even if you ask casually, you can know that they are mobilizing more materials and seem to want to complete the construction of the two aircraft carriers by the end of the year.

 In this way, they will have 7 aircraft carriers by this time next year, and five of them will be large fleet aircraft carriers.

One Essex-class ship purchased from the Tang Empire, and four improved models built by ourselves: It is said to be an improvement, but it only increased some tonnage and barely added a few more fighter jets.

As for whether the sacrifice of speed and other performance for these fighter jets is worth it, only God knows.

“They think they are smart and think others are fools.” Another intelligence officer in the room said with the same sneer.

 In fact, the intelligence agency deployed by the Tang Empire in the Lions Empire was not small in scale. After all, this was where they left.

 When they left, they left behind many hidden clues. These secret clues have provided a lot of intelligence about the Lions Empire over the years.

 Another very important source of intelligence is telegrams. The Tang Empire was able to decipher the secret messages of various countries at a speed that these empires could not even imagine.

They were almost sending the message in plain code, but they themselves felt that their code would never be deciphered by the Tang Empire.

Yes, they are so confident: the cipher system commonly used in various countries is actually the Enigma cipher machine used by Germany during World War II. This thing is indeed very powerful in theory. Even if the cipher machine is lost, it can be replaced by a new one. Code pads can also be easily evaded from deciphering.

 But the supplier of this system is Cyric, and the entire technology was almost purchased from the Tang Empire.

In fact, various countries also know this, but they believe that as long as they change the code books frequently, they can circumvent the Tang Empire's code deciphering.

What is regrettable is that on the one hand, Datang Group supports more professional mathematical talents than all countries combined, and on the other hand, these elites have the technical support of a supercomputer.

This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow for the Enigma cipher machine. Even if it is an astronomical number of trials and errors, the computer can complete it in a few seconds.

The past method of relying on manual verification and deciphering is completely outdated. The Tang Empire's control over the codes used by various countries exceeds everyone's imagination.

 So in order to coordinate the conflicts between each other and increase cooperation, various countries united to target the Tang Empire... The Datang Empire knew this clearly from the beginning.

The other party's message was placed on Leo's desk. Leo had a clearer understanding of the various plans between Dorn, Daqin, and Lions than the project leaders of these countries.

"In the entire month of April, the amount of steel consumed in Bunas was approximately 90,000 tons. This probably reflects their ship manufacturing speed." The data on the desks of Tang's intelligence officers was very detailed, and they even had the shipyard in Bunas photo. The Tang Empire's reconnaissance satellites brought back very clear satellite pictures of the major ports on the entire Eastern Continent. The Tang State knew very well how many large shipyards were busy inside and how many aircraft carriers were being built.

These satellite images are so clear that the military intelligence personnel of the Tang Empire could even count the number of cabins on the other side and roughly calculate the sinking coefficient of the other side's ships.

“According to the current construction progress, the other party will have up to 21 aircraft carriers by September next year, including 3 Qin, 11 Dorn, and 7 Lions.” The intelligence personnel easily calculated an accurate number.

If you add the Nanla Empire, the Yangmu Empire and the Ice Empire...the number of aircraft carriers the entire world had at that time was about 30.

  After all, due to the impact of the war, the Ice Empire and the Poplar Empire had not fully recovered their national strength and had no energy to develop their navies.

 So they actually only built 2 aircraft carriers each, and purchased an Essex class from the Tang Empire.

 Compared with the craziness of the three southern empires, the naval scale of these two empires is relatively conservative. They also seemed to have little interest in immediately joining the anti-Tang alliance.

On the other hand, the Ice Empire seems to want to reach out to the northern seas and exert influence on the North Island. However, their progress was very slow because there were troops from the Tang Empire stationed on the North Island.

 The Tang Empire's influence on Beidao was naturally huge, including all-round control over politics, economy and military. Therefore, if the Ice Empire wants to challenge the Tang Empire on the North Island, it still needs careful planning.

The dwarves are similar to the Lions Empire. They are waiting for the Tang Empire to fail, so that they can get some benefits from the corpse of the Tang Empire.

 Hearing this number, another intelligence officer still maintained the most basic respect for his opponent: "It's really not that small."

His colleagues were not very polite and began to laugh out loud as they spoke: "Most of these aircraft carriers are concentrated in the southern waters of the Endless Sea. What they have to face are our five aircraft carriers."

"If they knew what kind of weapons and equipment we were making, I think they would definitely want to start a war sooner." As they spoke, both of them laughed.

The whole world is stalling for time and starting a secret arms race, so the Tang Empire is not idle either. Tang Mo increased the number of his new aircraft carriers to 8 in one go. This number allowed the Tang Empire Navy to maintain absolute superiority in all directions.

You must know that this is a brand new steam catapult aircraft carrier, and it is not a product of the same era as the wooden decks of other countries.

Once a war breaks out between the two sides, the Tang Imperial Navy is very sure to control the situation instantly. This is just like playing chess. If you make a move, others will also make a move. It is impossible to watch you move and others not move.

While countries around the world are hoarding their own power, the Tang Empire is also constantly hoarding its own power. This is an arms race.

 As for the arms race... From the moment it was born, the Tang Empire has never been afraid of others! Once the war machine of the Tang Empire started running at full power, it would be truly unstoppable!
