His words reminded Tang Mo of the United States and the Five Good People - in another world that Tang Mo was familiar with, the five most tyrannical arms dealers in the world were also five countries!
They were a country, but it did not affect their business of selling their own weapons at all. Therefore, although Nangong Hong's words were unsubstantiated, Tang Mo knew that what he said was right.
"Similarly, today's Datang Group seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is also full of dangers! How can such a huge power not be feared?" In turn, Nangong Hong asked Tang Mo another question.
In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also added two sentences: "Although the elephant is low-key and cautious, how can it be possible to hide behind the tree without being discovered? Even if the tiger and ferocious beast are just passing by, how can those mice and rabbits not tremble?
trembling?"
Tang Mo has actually realized that with the continuous development of Datang Group, keeping a low profile can no longer completely offset the group's influence.
In all fields, Datang Group has absolute control. As long as Tang Mo is willing, he can easily destroy a kingdom within the scope of Datang Group's influence.
This kind of destruction was achieved simultaneously economically, politically, and even by force - he was very aware of this deterrent effect, and it was impossible for the kings and ministers of those kingdoms to be completely unaware of it.
Even if they can't see everything clearly, they can still see clues from some details. Just like Nangonghong said, an elephant cannot hide behind a small tree.
"The Tang Group has become so huge, and its power is powerful enough to subvert any kingdom." Nangong Hong was already very sure of this based on just a few days of observation.
In fact, many people can see that just by relying on the prosperous Bunas, Datang Group has the capital to launch a war to destroy the country.
It's just that, for various reasons, these people pretend not to know, or they don't say anything if they know.
Some people became blind because they took Tang Mo's benefits. Some people have already boarded Tang Mo's ship and are waiting for Tang Mo to set sail.
In short, it’s not that there are no smart people in this world, it’s just that everyone’s smarts are used in different ways.
Tang Mo was still thinking about these things in his mind, but Nangong Hong over there had already opened his mouth and continued to ask a new question: "So... Mr. Tang, may I ask, if you were the king of a kingdom... or the emperor of an empire, what would you do?
What do you think when you face such a behemoth?"
"..." Tang Mo said nothing, because from some perspective, he didn't care what these people would think.
He doesn't care what the kings and ministers of these kingdoms think! He just needs to wait for the other party to make a choice, and then he can counterattack.
"They will stay up all night, tossing and turning, guessing your intentions! You hold such huge power, but you don't show any ambition... You hold the money bags of these monarchs, control their armies, and control their
People, no one knows what you want to do, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?" Nangong Hong didn't wait for Tang Mo's answer, so he answered his own question.
Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Everyone will be suspicious of you, and they will be jealous of you. At some point, they will even be forced to take measures to eliminate this unknown hidden danger of yours. Sometimes, forcing you to explode will make many people angry.
Peace of mind.”
Nangong Hong continued to ask: "You have the power to intimidate an empire, but you don't trigger it. This is like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads that will be cut off at an unknown time. Do you think... this is a good thing?
Or is it a bad thing?"
"You keep talking." Tang Mojie didn't mean to answer, but responded casually. He knew that this was Nangonghong's problem, and it was also a problem that Nangonghong had to solve.
Tang Mo is now the boss, and Nangong Hong is the employee who came to apply for the job. Just asking questions is not enough for Tang Mo to give him a good salary. Nangong Hong needs to be able to help Tang Mo solve the problem before he can get it.
desired position.
In other words, when Nangong Hong kept asking questions here, he was actually not asking Tang Mo, but asking himself questions.
Only if he completes these test questions to Tang Mo's satisfaction will he have the chance to stay in Datang Group...
"On the other hand, as long as you express your intention, it will make the vast majority of people feel at ease. As long as your intention does not conflict with their interests, they will not be thinking of killing everything for the time being." Sure enough, Nangonghong continued.
Said further.
"As for the problems you mentioned before, they are actually easy to solve... After all, becoming emperor cannot be achieved overnight... It requires planning, waiting, and accumulation of strength. What matters is that it will happen naturally..." First of all, Nangong Hong
A preliminary solution to Tang Mo's concerns was given.
This plan is very simple, it is a procrastination strategy - wait until Tang Mo has implemented the things in his hands, and then go back to study the matter of proclaiming the emperor.
Although this cannot perfectly solve all problems, it can at least allow Tang Mo to implement his currency replacement policy safely and smoothly for the time being, and at the same time, it can also allow Tang Mo to retain most of the arms market: "Waiting for Mr. Tang to overthrow in the economic field
With the existing gold coin system and the promotion of Bunas banknotes, when we stabilize the market and expand our influence to a point where the other party cannot ignore it, it will be too late to proclaim ourselves emperor."
"...Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly?" Tang Mo remembered an interesting allusion and muttered.
"Huh?" After hearing Tang Mo's summary, Nangong Hong was stunned - he was shocked by Tang Mo's precise conclusion.
Originally, he thought that the plan he proposed was the ultimate answer that Tang Mo had never thought of. But from Tang Mo's words, he heard something different.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Obviously, Tang Mo has considered this aspect, so he can give such a concise and accurate summary full of wisdom.
Therefore, he had to recalibrate his understanding of Tang Mo and praised with admiration: "Mr. Tang... a great talent! He summarized the essence in just nine words. I am not as good as Mr. Tang."
Tang Mo didn't take it seriously, because the sentence itself was not summed up by him, so there was no sense of pride that was not his own - it was Zhu Sheng's advice to Zhu Yuanzhang, and it had nothing to do with him.
!
It's a pity that Nangong Hong didn't know this. He thought that Tang Mo had already prepared the manuscript, so he admired him greatly and even felt sorry for him for a while.
While Nangong Hong was savoring these words, Tang Mo curiously asked a question that became more and more interesting to him: "Then, as Mr. Nangong said, if I am determined to become emperor... there is a lot of potential for me to do it.
Woolen cloth?"
After hearing his question, You Lin, who had been standing behind him, suddenly tensed up because this was the first time she heard Tang Mo discuss the topic of becoming an emperor.
This is likely to mean that the future development goals of Datang Group will begin to change. Datang Group will also transform from a business group to an empire and become the ruling group of an empire!
For other countries, this is definitely not good news. Because Datang Group will become a strong competitor for everyone.
Weiss's face also changed slightly - for him personally, there are some differences between the personal bodyguards of the boss of Datang Group and the personal bodyguards of the emperor of a huge empire.
He swallowed his saliva and began to imagine in his mind that he was driving for the founding emperor of an unprecedentedly great empire, passing by the shocking scene of millions of soldiers.
It is no exaggeration to say that for everyone in Datang Group, if Tang Mo really wants to become emperor, it will be great news.
This means that they will all have a chance to be promoted, a chance to become a dragon - as long as they seize this opportunity, they will become the masters of an empire!
Therefore, even Weis and Youlin will inevitably have some fluctuations in their hearts at this moment. Being able to become an emperor's concubine and the emperor's most trusted bodyguard, how can they not have any fluctuations?
Hearing Tang Mo ask such a question, Nangong Hong felt that he was almost halfway successful.
So, he became more and more calm and said the name of a country: "Zheng Guo!"
"Huh?" Tang Mo didn't expect that Nangong Hong would give such an interesting answer. Because this answer coincided with his next goal. So he looked at Nangong Hong and waited.
The other party gives himself an explanation.
"The northernmost part of the Endless Sea, the Ice Kingdom is barren. Although there are a lot of minerals, there is no fertile land suitable for farming. There is no benefit in occupying it! What's more, this Ice Kingdom and the Datang Group are in alliance with each other, and the relationship is stable in the short term.
It is unwise to rashly become enemies." Nangong Hong then analyzed.
"Yes." Tang Mo nodded, giving himself approval.
"Always keep the Yangmu Kingdom and other elves as the northern barrier to block the restoration of the Dwarf Kingdom and prevent them from moving south smoothly! Moreover, this is also the traditional sphere of influence of the Datang Group. Seizing such a place is causing trouble for yourself..." Nangong
Hong continued to explain.
"For the same reason, Talen in the southernmost part has little room for development. It is just some islands. At most, it is a food producing area. There is nothing to worry about." Because he did not know industrial raw materials such as rubber, Nangong Hong concluded that,
Still relatively one-sided.
Of course he had no idea how important rubber, and other crops, were to modern industry.
However, even this one-sided conclusion is actually quite accurate. At this time, establishing a country in Talon will directly conflict with Dorne. This is not what the Datang Group wants to see.
