Bunas, in Tang Mo's office, Leo was reporting to him the latest news from Long Island: "The opponent is probably a battalion of troops, without heavy artillery, and most of the naval warships have been annihilated."
After interrogating several prisoners, the battleship Bunas 4 determined the size of the enemy's landing force and the landing point. At this moment, it was aggressively heading towards the beach where the Talon Kingdom's pioneering force landed.
Tang Mo remained silent. He listened to Leo's report and weighed in his mind how to deal with the aftermath of this war.
The war with the Tarun Kingdom is easy to deal with. As long as his warships sail to the sea outside the Tarun Kingdom, the opponent will definitely surrender if his head is not sick.
No matter what he wants, the other party will kneel down and hold his nose to acknowledge it, because he is the Sea King of this world, the overlord of the endless sea.
As long as half of the warships in his hands are deployed, those countries that claim to have powerful navies can hide in the corner and tremble.
Therefore, what he is thinking about now is how to prevent such a thing from happening. Needless to say, the strategic position of Dragon Island, Tang Mo feels that the main reason for this crisis is his insufficient control over Dragon Island.
His population on Dragon Island is too small to firmly control the entire island. This gives others opportunities to take advantage of and seriously threatens the security of his oil supply.
Leo, who did not wait for Tang Mo to speak, could only continue: "According to the information provided by the other party, the commander of the Talon Kingdom is named Haosen, and he is a ruthless officer."
Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and they now know that the man who shot and killed the patrol leader was this guy named Haosen.
"Catch him, try him, and then hang him... to avenge our martyrs." Tang Mo opened his mouth and gave his advice.
Leo nodded, and then continued: "The other party doesn't know how many soldiers are left to guard their landing point, so it is unlikely that his troops are fully equipped with 500 people, and there are probably only about 480."
The prisoners confessed all the information they knew without any hesitation. After seeing the power of Datang Group's battleships, they no longer took any chances.
What they are thinking about right now is how to quickly take advantage of being captured first, get along well with these powerful opponents, and try to get a job of managing the captives, acting as a comprador, and not being captured in the process.
suffer in.
"Bunas 4 has wiped out the opponent's fleet and is now rushing to the opponent's landing point at full speed. They called to ask if they want prisoners, including ships." Before Tang Mo could say anything, Leo continued to ask.
.
Tang Mo thought for a few seconds, and then gave his order: "Let them be more careful, and capture the ship and the people together on the premise of ensuring that the warship is not damaged! We have to save some, learn to be thrifty...
…”
"I understand." Leo nodded gently again.
Then he continued: "It is said that there is one warship and 10 transport ships at the landing point of the Kingdom of Talon. The other party transported about 500 craftsmen and about 700 immigrants."
Tang Mo was still thinking about the population of Long Island just now, so this time he gave the advice on how to deal with these craftsmen without thinking at all: "After capturing the prisoners, find some work for them... don't take it too easy!"
Leo replied directly: "We have already found them, and all the prisoners will be arranged together to build a glorious enough castle for you on the island."
"Are you kidding me?" Tang Mo was stunned and looked at Leo with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"This is what we all want." Leo explained: "Although everyone thinks it should be kept secret, my subordinate is your master's intelligence minister, so I must report everything I know to you."
"Have we reached the point where we can waste human resources like this?" Tang Mo didn't think that it was a wise thing to waste more than 1,000 laborers when manpower was urgently needed.
Until now, he only lived in the office building of the factory and occasionally went to Bunas City. He didn't even have a decent home of his own.
Because he always makes use of every penny to keep Datang Group operating at the highest speed. This is also the secret of his success today.
Seeing that Tang Mo was a little unhappy, Leo quickly explained to everyone: "Actually, we can't use these craftsmen with peace of mind. After all, they are from the Talon Kingdom, so we can't let them come into contact with our core.
confidential."
"What about the periphery...?" Tang Mo felt that it would be in line with his plan to make proper use of these prisoners and let them do more important work.
Leo smiled and explained to Tang Mo: "It's hard to manage the surrounding areas like pioneering, and I'm afraid they'll run away... so I just let them build the castle."
After all, watching a group of people working on a mountaintop is not the same thing as letting these people work in the forest. The number of detainees required is also obviously different.
"..." Tang Mo was silent. He felt that what Leo said was reasonable, so he couldn't refute it for a while.
Even Tang Mo himself didn't discover it. From beginning to end, he and Leo were talking about the more than 1,000 captive craftsmen. As for the 500 soldiers, it seemed as if they no longer existed.
Leo then added: "Of course, they don't know that they are building a castle. We just let them build the outer walls. For the specific interior, we feel it is safer to do it ourselves."
"..." Seeing that his subordinate was thinking so carefully, Tang Mo didn't know what to say.
Speaking of this, Leo seemed to have a lot to say: "We found inspiration in your paintings. In fact, we plan to wait until the castle is completely completed before giving it to you as a gift."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Gift?" Tang Mo was stunned, and then he was a little confused about this word.
"Yes, it is a gift from all of us. All the executives of Datang Group have contributed money...so, it is a gift from us. Thank you for taking care of us all the time." Leo
explained.
Tang Mo was stunned again, and then he remembered that he had drawn a sketch when he was relaxing before. It was a sketch of Neuschwanstein Castle.
So, he probably knew what his castle looked like: "Wait a minute, you said you found inspiration in my paintings? You mean, the Neuschwanstein Castle?"
Leo nodded, and then told Tang Mo that he had already thought of a name for his castle: "Yes, but... we all felt that the name of this Swan Castle was not very pleasant, so we all voted by a show of hands to decide this.
The castle is named...'Dragon's Lair'..."
"..." Tang Mo suddenly felt that a mustache seemed to be growing under his nose... What was this strong smell of San De Zi? Should he have some kind of building?
There should also be a basement or something?
Just when he was complaining about the name of his own castle in his mind, on the Dragon Island position, the soldiers of the Datang Group's security forces who had seen the enemy approaching had already pulled the bolt of their guns and loaded the bullets into the barrels.
The machine gunner pulled the bolt, making a pleasant clattering sound, and then pointed the black muzzle at the enemy troops gathering in the distance.
Haosen had already dispatched a reconnaissance force, and seven or eight soldiers spread out, seemingly wanting to test the strength of the defenders, and moved bit by bit toward the factory behind the Datang Group's security forces.
The next second, a sudden gunshot rang out, and the Jaeger troops began to attack. A Talon soldier who was advancing with a gun fell down in response, and the remaining people involuntarily shrank their necks.
Soon the second gunshot was heard, and another Talon soldier who had not yet found the enemy screamed and fell down.
The few remaining soldiers fled in panic, stumbling back to their own ranks.
Haosen was not sure whether the opponent used such a method because there were few people, or whether it was just a cold shot to disrupt his offensive steps. However, he also knew that he must seize the time if the opponent could stabilize their position.
, the people he brought may not be enough.
Then, he pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed forward, and loudly issued the order to attack: "Advance the whole army! Capture this workshop!"
Following his order, the troops beside him began to advance. These troops marched in neat steps through the pitch-black wilderness, accompanied by the faint sound of drums.
On the other side of the forest, a ragged sailor stumbled up to a high place and saw his own troops advancing forward.
He sat down on the ground, panting heavily. He looked desperately at the team in the distance, knowing that everything was too late.
Because the attack had already begun, he could no longer tell the frontline commander Haosen in time that his fleet had been completely destroyed.
If he shouted at the top of his lungs now, he might not be able to accurately convey the message to the friendly forces on the battlefield.
Therefore, he could only watch in despair as his troops approached the distant building. A few seconds later, he heard intensive gunfire.
In the sound of gunfire, the brown gold helm flag fluttering in the wind quickly fell down, and the soldiers who were marching neatly, like crops in a wheat field, fell one by one under an invisible sickle.
Down.
There was chaos for a moment. The sailor, who finally found the right direction and broke out of the forest, closed his eyes in despair.
At the same moment, Haosen on the battlefield was completely frightened by the strength of his opponent. He stood there motionless, letting the bullets fly past him, unable to say a word.
