"Do you really want to do business with Cyric? This is almost like seeking skin from a tiger..." Roger looked at Tang Mo who was picking his teeth with a toothpick and asked with some confusion.
Tang Mo slapped the toothpick he made on the table, smiled and said: "I'm just buying time. As long as they are willing to maintain a peaceful period with us for 3 to 6 months, we can put Bunas away."
The business is like a piece of iron."
"At that time, we have hundreds of soldiers and a dozen howitzers, and we can completely set up a defense line and fight ten times the enemy force in Bunas." Tang Mo looked at the exquisite map hanging on the wall and said to Roger.
.
This map was a gift given to Tang Mo by Gis. Including this gift, there were many other things.
For example, there is a pile of fine wine in the corner of the room, including tens of thousands of gold coins in Tang Mo's warehouse, and an exaggerated-looking order belonging to the Datang Group.
Cyric ordered 100,000 rounds of bullets from Tang Mo, and he ordered them at the price of 1 gold coin per bullet.
Guise paid a deposit of 50,000 gold coins for this, and there was also a contract for the mine near Bunas.
Bunas originally produced iron. This vein extends all the way from the North Ridge Mountains. It can be mined on both sides of the vicious forest, and the reserves are quite huge.
There are coal mines on the other side of Bunas, which is also an important reason why Tang Mo's father, Tang Qi, chose a site in Bunas and built a weapons workshop.
Tang Mo got the title deeds of the iron and coal mines, as well as the mining certificates, and even the contracts of the workers working there.
Tang Mo, who had received so many things, did not miss the promise and immediately delivered 10,000 rounds of ammunition to Cyric, which made Cyric's arms workshop in the Kingdom of Wright very busy.
Giss started imitating Tang Mo's needle guns non-stop, and imitated 1,500 of them in one go.
"But, are we really going to fight Cyric?" Roger was a little reluctant, because he knew that once the war broke out, the entire area around Bunas would definitely turn into a scorched earth.
Tang Mo stared at the map helplessly and explained to Roger: "It's not that we want to fight, but they will definitely fight. If they can do business honestly, they won't have such a bad reputation."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Roger and showed a wry smile: "We don't need to be too anxious, because the other party will definitely not act rashly in a short time."
"They only have 10,000 rounds of ammunition. No matter how many weapons they make, it will be useless." Tang Mo walked over and comforted Roger: "So, they must wait until all 100,000 rounds of ammunition are delivered, and then purchase hundreds of thousands or even more."
Only with millions of rounds of bullets can you have the confidence to compete with us."
"Think about it, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, thousands of rifles, each of them trains to shoot a few shots, and these bullets are almost used." Seeing that Roger was still worried, he continued to explain very relaxedly.
"The other party will definitely show weakness first and give up many mines and towns... This is the clause signed in our contract, and they will implement it seriously." Tang Mo walked around the desk and passed by Leo who was sitting there.
Redman walked to the map and carefully looked at all of Cyric's wealth in the Kingdom of Wright marked on it.
This map was originally Cyric's important property. It was produced by Cyric as his own resource distribution map.
More than 30% of the mines in the kingdom are directly controlled or even fully controlled by Cyric. Of the remaining 70% of the mines, Cyric directly holds shares in half.
In fact, the king's wealth is not as good as that controlled by Cyric, which is why Gith is able to be so unscrupulous in this country.
With this map, Tang Mo could intuitively see the growth of his wealth, because just a dozen days ago, Sirik handed over several small workshops in the eastern part of Bunas to Tang Mo.
These workshops all produced cloth and were not very valuable. But after Tang Mo took control of these small workshops, he almost controlled the villages and towns where these small workshops were located.
As he spoke, he pointed to the points on the map that he seemed to have control over: "The purpose of their implementation of these provisions is, firstly, to paralyze us, and secondly, to distract our limited energy."
These places circled with red pen now belong to Tang Mo. But to completely absorb and digest Cyric's power here, Tang Mo and his manpower still have to do a lot.
He pressed his fingers on the small red circles around these bunas, as if talking to himself: "Once we have too many places to take care of, we will inevitably lose sight of one. At that time, they can gather their troops,
Defeat our scattered troops one by one."
"Then what should we do?" Tiger next to Roger asked anxiously.
Tang Mo smiled nonchalantly: "We don't need to guard so many mines, nor do we need to control so many towns. We just need to stay here and wait for their people to kill them."
"Anyway, if we want Cyric to willingly give up the Kingdom of Wright, we must make them realize the reality. They cannot defeat us." After Tang Mo finished speaking, he turned around and looked at his confidants.
Redman asked a random question, but everyone knew what he was asking: "How many will there be?"
Tang Mo didn't care at all and casually answered a number that left many people speechless: "About... 20,000 people."
"..." Weiss, Leo, Roger and others didn't speak. They just looked at Tang Mo, their eyes full of worry.
After scratching his head, Tang Mo asked these people with a grimace: "You think 20,000 people is a lot?"
"It's a bit..." Weiss nodded.
Although in Beiling, they defeated thousands of enemy troops with only 600 men. But that was in Beiling, and they had needle guns and other new weapons in their hands.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now, it seems that Tang Mo's weapons are available to Cyric. At least the opponent's individual weapons are not much different from Tang Mo's security forces.
What's even worse is that in previous battles, they fought on a relatively small battlefield and blocked the enemy's offensive. But in Bunas, they had to face 20,000 enemy troops on a rather long defense line!
For them, this is certainly not good news, at least not exciting news.
Tang Mo smiled, his smile full of disdain and danger. He scanned the crowd and asked an unrelated topic that surprised everyone: "Have you ever heard of the Somme?"
"No, where is that?" Roger thought for a moment and found that he had never heard of it before, so he asked with some confusion.
Tang Mo did not answer his question, but walked up to Leo and continued to ask: "Then have you heard of Verdun?"
Leo was a little unsure, as if he was trying hard to find his memory. Finally, he looked at Tang Mo with some uncertainty: "Have you been there?"
"No, I haven't been there." Tang Mo shook his head: "I have never been there in my life."
Everyone was a little confused and looked at Tang Mo: "Then..."
Tang Mo sat back in his seat and spread his hands: "Don't worry! Believe me... For us, 20,000 people may not be enough for us to kill in one day..."
"..." Everyone was speechless about Tang Mo, the Riddler. They had never heard of killing 20,000 people in one day.
"Okay, gentlemen! What we have to do now is to make good use of this hard-won period of peace and do our most important work well." Tang Mo walked back to the map and touched the Vicious Forest.
In the open space on the border, there is a very short, black and white line.
He drew it himself using a white strip of paper and ink, cut it into a thin strip and pasted it on the map. What this line represents is already very obvious.
This is the world's first railway track, a railway track connecting the old factory area and the new factory area. In more than a month, only a few kilometers of railway track will be completely connected and put into use.
He couldn't blame these people for not having heard of the Meat Grinder Verdun, so he couldn't blame these people for not understanding what he meant.
In fact, everyone who knows the Battle of Verdun, the war that broke out in Europe, will know that automatic weapons rewritten the entire war.
From now on, the attackers in the war will pay a heavy price, and Cyric will definitely pay ten or a hundred times the price for their arrogance.
These worms who have been in power for a long time are not even willing to buy some steam engines in advance to improve their production lines.
They are greedy and use the number of workers to make up for the technical gap, hoping to completely occupy everything in Tang Mo through an unreasonable war.
That's why they only bought bullets and not Tang Mo's other things, so they generously agreed to Tang Mo's request to take over the entire Wright Kingdom.
In short, both sides are calculating and calculating against each other in their own way.
The hole that Cyric dug for Tang Mo is called I have a tenfold advantage in strength! After they have stockpiled sufficient arms, they will use a war to teach Tang Mo how to behave.
The hole Tang Mo dug for Sirik was even deeper. The name of this hole was the Maxim heavy machine gun. Although this thing is still on the drawing board, some parts have already begun to be produced.
"Sir, do you really think that that expensive road built with steel... can help us gain an advantage in the war?" Tiger asked incredulously.
In his opinion, it is simply a serious waste to just lay the steel needed for dozens of cannons, or even hundreds of cannons, on the ground and call it a road.
"No..." Tang Mo shook his head. Although the railway had never helped the war, it was not the railway he relied on this time.
However, he then continued: "But it will make us richer after the war is over..."
