Chapter 1311 1312 The territory of the empire is sacred and inviolable

In Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Mo came to all the reporters wearing his five-clawed golden dragon dress. He was still young. An emperor who was less than forty years old could be regarded as young and powerful from any angle. for.

He waved his hand gently, and the venue returned to silence. Then he turned to the microphone and announced to all the reporters attending the meeting: "You may already know that the Tang Empire officially announced its intention to treat Ryans a few hours ago. The Empire declares war."

"Now, the Tang Empire has declared war on the Dorne Empire, the Qin Empire, and the Lions Empire... If there are still countries willing to take action against the Tang Empire, now is a good opportunity." After he finished speaking, he paused. There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Most of the journalists who come here to interview are newspaper reporters from the Datang Empire. Some of them are from the "Datang Daily", some from the "Datang Empire", and some from the "Tangren Express".

Compared to past press conferences, this time there were reporters from several TV stations. Cameras of all sizes were almost lined up on a wall. The flashes kept lighting up, and the clicking shutters at the venue couldn't stop at all. Come down.

"After verification, I will now personally inform you of the latest battle situation on the front line." Tang Mo waited for the reporters below to take enough pictures before continuing.

He opened the document in his hand, glanced down, and said: "As of last night, the Tang Empire troops had retaken the four cities of Xiajuan, Shanchong, Jutian, and Pingfeng. They surrounded Dongqing and the forward troops had advanced. To Yongping.”

Yongping City is the official name given by the Tang Empire to the old capital of the Dahua Empire. Official documents were first seen in some records after the Dahua Kingdom became a tributary of the Tang Empire.

This is the first time that the Tang Empire has officially announced its victory to the outside world. It is also the first time that the two sides have officially announced the status of the war since the war began.

"In the Battle of Xiajuan, our army annihilated a total of more than 639,000 people, including more than 510,000 prisoners. In the Battle of Dongqing, our army captured Ying'an, the commander of the Dongqing Qin Army." Tang Mo said When I came here, there was an exclamation from the audience immediately.

 Some reporters whispered among themselves that they did not believe that the Tang Empire had achieved such a brilliant victory. You know, the war has only started for more than a month. How could such a one-sided battle situation occur?

Ignoring the exclamations of reporters in the audience, Tang Mo continued to talk to himself: "The Tang Empire Navy has annihilated the combined fleet of Dorne and the Qin Empire, sunk 7 aircraft carriers of the Dorne Empire, and sunk 3 aircraft carriers of the Qin Empire. aircraft carrier.”

“Currently, the Imperial Navy of the Tang Dynasty has completely gained control of the southern waters of the Endless Sea.” After he finished speaking, he paused again, waiting for the reporter below to digest what he had just said.

After a few seconds of silence, a commotion broke out below. Everyone was whispering to the people around them, and they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.

 All 7 aircraft carriers of Dorne Navy were sunk.

“Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Did you exaggerate the results of the war? Or did you fail to verify the results at all?” A reporter from the Nanla Empire raised his hand and asked.

Tang Mo smiled and shook his head slightly to answer his question: "No! Mr. Reporter, I have verified this result with my naval marshal and chief of staff, and it is confirmed to be correct." "But! Your Majesty! We didn't listen. Dorne had a similar statement... They didn't seem to know that their fleet had been wiped out." A reporter from the Sussus Empire stood up and asked directly while raising his hands.

Just as the guard who was maintaining order next to him wanted to stop him, he was stopped by the eyes of Weiss standing behind Tang Mo. Tang Mo looked at the other party and replied confidently: "Oh, I think they don't know that all their fleets have sunk."

"You mean, the Tang Empire destroyed an entire fleet, and the fleet didn't even have time to send a telegram to report that it was wiped out?" A reporter seemed to have caught the loophole in Tang Mo's words and asked excitedly .

Because this question was too absurd and no one believed that the Tang Empire could do such an outrageous thing, many reporters burst into laughter.

Without refuting the other party, Tang Mo nodded: "They really shouldn't be able to send a telegram, but the Qin State should already know the news... because they may have picked up a lot of Dornish sailors who leaked water."

The venue fell silent again, and no one knew what to say. They wanted to refute the arrogance of the Emperor of the Tang Empire, but the other party was obviously not a fool.

 This kind of thing can be easily falsified by the other party, so no emperor would use his credibility to make such a joke. Frankly speaking, although the emperor's reputation is not very reliable, it is still very valuable to many people.

Especially the credibility of the Tang Empire, which is more precious than gold. Tang Mo didn't need to waste his credibility on this kind of thing.

But think about it on the other hand, if Tang Mo didn't lie, doesn't it mean that the Tang Empire really wiped out the entire United Fleet, and even caused the entire United Fleet to be annihilated without even being able to send a message?

 Are you kidding me? Doesn't that mean that this time the anti-Tang alliance led by the Dorne Empire, the Qin Empire, and the Lions Empire fell apart again?

 The Second Anti-Tang War failed again? Then... doesn't the Tang Empire really want to unify the Western Continent and become the world's hegemon?

Of course, it was not controversial to be the world hegemon before, but this time, I am afraid that I am not going to become the kind of super overlord that has never appeared before, which is recognized and no one dares to question, and can spread influence all over the world. ?

In the past, it was not that there were no so-called hegemons in the world. For example, the Nanla Empire on the Eastern Continent and the Dahua Empire on the Western Continent all had their own influence on their respective continents.

 But these overlords are only regional, they are overlords that everyone tacitly agrees on and have never openly acknowledged.

This time, the Tang Empire will hopefully become the first substantial hegemon in the world that can be recognized on paper by all empires.

"Now, my fleet is attacking the fleet of the Lions Empire! If this battle is won, the Tang Empire will gain control of the Endless Sea!" Tang Mo continued when he saw that the reporters had stopped talking.

"Soon, my army will retake the territory of the vassal states occupied by the Qin army! Since these territories are not protected by the vassal states, the Tang Empire will administer these territories on behalf of these countries! From now on...the territories of these vassal states, They will all be regarded as the territory of the Tang Dynasty! They are sacred and inviolable!"
