A beautiful maid pushed open a double door with carvings of the sun god and the moon and gods.
The gorgeous room has a stunning floor-to-ceiling mirror, and on the other side hangs a huge scroll depicting the gods looking down on the human world.
Outside a row of exquisite floor-to-ceiling windows is a balcony railing with carved columns, which is so spacious that you can almost gallop a horse.
On the soft bed, the owner of this room opened his eyes and moved a slender naked arm away from his chest.
"Ms. Sophia..." The maid folded her hands on her abdomen, stood beside the bed and bowed slightly, her tone full of concern: "You haven't had breakfast yet."
"Well..." A lazy woman's voice sounded on the big bed, and then a woman with an almost perfect figure sat up naked from the bed.
She drowsily brushed her red curls like waves, and looked at the woman who was still lying next to her with sleepy eyes.
More than one woman…
There were three women lying on this big bed, two of whom were not awake yet.
Sophia twisted her neck twice, and then used her hands to wake up the woman sleeping next to her: "Get up! Darlings..."
Then, the maid who came in to wake up her master gave up her position, took out a silky and large pajama from behind, and helped Sophia put it on her body.
Just like that, the red-haired Sophia put down her hands, ignored the two beautiful bed partners behind her, and walked out of her shockingly luxurious bedroom with bare feet.
The elegant footsteps of the maid echoed in the corridor. When Sophia passed by the female guards, the guards knelt on one knee and greeted their master in their delicate voices: "Ms. Sophia!"
The woman's hands brushed over the heads of the female guards, and then she walked through the corridor that was so exaggerated that it even echoed, and walked to her office.
There are only women here, it seems to be a kingdom of women, so a hostess here can dress casually. The women who can enter this castle are either beautiful or rich, and they have one thing in common... they don't like men very much.
The Flame Castle is one of the richest and most impressive castles in the world. It is owned by the red-haired duchess Sofia, who is also the richest woman in the world... one of the richest.
She inherited her wealth from her mother, who inherited her wealth from her grandmother. Her grandmother owned many men, each of whom was richer than the last.
Sophia's grandmother was one of the people who founded the Cyric Arms Consortium. She keenly seized this opportunity to make a fortune and increased her wealth hundreds of times.
This Flame Castle was built by Sofia's mother. It didn't have this nickname at that time. But after Sofia inherited her mother's inheritance, it was painted red and became what it is now.
It is said that a certain section of the outer wall of this castle was painted with blood, which was all the blood on the body of another Cyric consortium shareholder who assassinated Sophia's mother.
"Sir, the news just arrived is that we have obtained a sample of the wireless telegraph equipment." After Sophia sat down in her seat, the maid began to report.
"We lied that the equipment at the telegraph office was broken, and then stole the entire equipment...it was not a big thing."
"Where's the loss?" Sophia looked at her slender fingers, as if appreciating part of the nearly perfect body given to her by the gods.
"A hidden force lurking in Dorne has been completely destroyed, including the bribed officials, assassins and secret agents lurking there. Dozens of secret agents who have been cultivated for many years have all been killed." There was no wave in the maid's words.
, as if what was lost didn't matter.
"It doesn't matter, they will lose sooner or later anyway..." Sophia also looked indifferent: "Tell me, why...that organization called Silver Fox Company can develop so fast and be so... powerful
?”
"The other party has a more professional system than ours. This is the conjecture summed up by our intelligence chief. The other party is stronger than us and can easily find clues to find the people we left with them." The maid said coldly.
He replied coldly.
Sophia nodded, and then asked: "Then, tell me...why is this organization called Datang Group that emerged in less than two years so impeccable in such details?"
"This subordinate doesn't know about this." The maid lowered her head in shame, as if she had done something wrong.
Sofia just asked casually, and she didn't expect her maid to tell her something that even she couldn't figure out.
This mysterious Tang Group, which was far away in the Wright Kingdom, took less than a year to almost wipe out most of the forces deployed by the Cyric Consortium in the Wright Kingdom.
Cyric's private army was buried in Bunas. After that battle, Cyric almost lost control of the Kingdom of Wright.
The secret agents who were originally lurking around were also missing. These people either became proven double agents and provided false information to Cyric, or they completely lost contact and became unheard of.
Missing persons.
In short, the map of the Wright Kingdom that had been illuminated seemed to be shrouded in the fog of war again. It was not until more than half a year ago that the Cyric Consortium finally began to slowly understand the Datang Group, an opponent that had completely risen.
This understanding is painful, so painful that it breaks the hearts of all the shareholders of the Cyric Consortium.
In order to obtain the production technology of needle guns, flash caps, and steam engines, Cyric had to compromise with the Poplar Kingdom and gave up all the interests in the Poplar Kingdom.
Then, when Cyric began to slowly build steam engines, learn and catch up with the Tang Group, they successively lost the markets of the kingdoms of Wright, Sussus, and Dorne.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Their arms products have been defeated steadily, and they can no longer maintain their lead and advantages in almost all fields.
The flintlock gun has long been an obsolete product, but this weapon is still the bulk of the arms business of the Cyric Consortium.
But just when Cyric was frantically building steam engines, improving his own production lines, and trying his best to catch up with Datang Group's weapon technology advantages, Datang Group surprisingly launched something like a steam train.
Using steam engines as power and using steel to pave roads completely changed the traditional transportation mode and brought a country closer together... This... is really beyond everyone's expectation.
In the next round of operations, Cyric's senior leaders paid the price for their slow response. Because they have controlled the world's arms trade for more than a hundred years, they have become rotten and sluggish.
By the time Cyric realized that they seemed to have missed a new weapons revolution, or productivity revolution, all they could do was plagiarize and catch up.
As a result, they began to imitate railway tracks and use their huge production capacity to seize the market that Datang Group could not capture.
In fact, they did succeed. They got orders from more than a dozen countries. Even kingdoms such as Leyte and Yangmu, which they had lost their market, purchased rails from them to build their own railways.
Since he could not get the locomotive of the train for the time being, Cyric could only continue to produce rails and carriages to expand his profits.
As a result, before the Cyric Consortium could fully understand Tang Mo's rail train technology, Tang Mo came up with a brand new technology like automobiles.
Cyric hadn't thought about getting some cars back and dismantling them for research. After all, compared to train locomotives, cars were difficult to manage and were very easy to transport and move.
What makes people pessimistic is that Tang Mo's car looks very simple on the outside, but the structure of the engine and gearbox is hopelessly complicated.
With the processing accuracy of most factories in Cyric, they were completely unable to imitate this product, so they could only watch Tang Mo swallow up the huge market bit by bit.
However, Cyric could only produce some car spare parts, helping Tang Mo occupy the market while making some hard-earned money for himself.
However, Cyric has not been without merit in the past few months. They have relied on their geographical advantages and first-mover advantage to acquire a large number of oil fields in the countries they control.
Therefore, although Cyric has been completely defeated in the competition, this behemoth has miraculously increased its total fixed assets value by a large margin.
At the same time, other products related to Datang Group also began to enter the vision of the Cyric Consortium.
For example...a telegraph machine, for example...an electric light...
These things all run on electricity, so as a person with a keen sense of smell, Sophia is very sensitive to the fact that the power system developed by Datang Group may be an important direction for future technological development.
After all, generator technology is relatively easy to copy, so Cyric is also "copying and pasting" Datang Group's power generation technology.
However, progress in this area is relatively slow, and other leaders of Cyric have focused their attention on Tang Mo's breech-loading cannon, modern bolt-action rifles, and machine guns.
Fortunately, Cyric is Cyric after all. Sophia used some secrets and contacts accumulated over the years to find a way to buy a few original generators produced by Datang Group.
Now, in addition to being dismantled for research and several generators used by the most high-end Cyric factories, the Flame Castle has become one of the few buildings in the world that uses electricity.
It has also become one of the few castles equipped with electric lighting, which makes it look even more magnificent.
