"The undercurrent is surging!" Tang Mo threw away the information in his hand, stretched out in Longxue's office, and sighed to You Lin.
You Lin shrugged his handsome shoulders and said, "Everyone has their own different ideas, not to mention there are so many countries."
Eight countries deeply influenced by the Datang Group formed a seemingly united and powerful interest group, which was called a trade alliance by outsiders.
This alliance based on trade has had several practical operations of jointly declaring war on hostile countries, so it is also a military alliance.
Such a large and powerful alliance is naturally scary. But in this seemingly absurd incident in the first year of the empire, everyone saw the cracks between the trade alliances.
The elves are dissatisfied with the establishment of the Ice Empire, the Reins Empire is dissatisfied with the establishment of the Dorne Empire, Susas is also secretly seeking the possibility of becoming a new empire, and the orc kingdom of Calais has always been at odds with the elves.
Deep as the sea.
These problems were previously suppressed by Datang Group with trade profits and technical support. Each country was busy developing its own industry and improving its national strength, and had no time to pay attention to the details.
Now, with the gradual completion of reforms, each country has strengths that were unimaginable in the past, so there are more ideas.
As You Lin said, everyone has their own different ideas, not to mention so many countries coming together.
"It doesn't matter! As long as they don't fall out on the table, I can ignore these crappy things that make people worry." Tang Mo smiled and classified these major decisions that may determine the relationship between the two countries as "tatty stuff."
As he spoke, he walked to a huge map that was not very accurate: "Anyway, as long as we get rid of Zheng State, all the problems can be solved. There is enough land there to support a large enough population, and there are
There are enough resources for us to digest it for a long time."
This is the map of the Zheng State, which is ten times or even a hundred times more accurate than the previous Zheng State maps. In less than a year, the surveying and mapping team sent by the Datang Group slept in the open day and night, and finally it was
A relatively accurate map of Zheng was drawn.
There is no doubt that if this map appeared in front of the king of Zheng, it would definitely become a national treasure of Zheng.
But in fact, the map in the hands of the King of Zheng was not as accurate as the map in front of Tang Mo. To be precise, there was no comparison at all.
Tang Mo's map accurately marked the locations of all the cities in Zheng. Which cities had better road conditions around them, which cities had which workshops and craftsmen, and even the population of these cities were clearly recorded.
Even, as a secret, after the map was drawn, magnets were used to mark some dynamically changing contents.
For example, which city's lord has been bribed, where Zheng's army is stationed, where railways have been built, and where the roads have been strengthened.
To what extent has Linshui City's port been built, what is its daily throughput, and how many students receive higher education every day in schools in several nearby cities.
In the entire coastal area of Zheng State, how many people have begun to feel that they are Tang people, and how many people in the garrison in these places have defected to the Datang Group.
It can be said that by looking at the changes on this map every day, Tang Mo can clearly know how much progress he has made in conquering Zheng.
This feeling is like watching a game loading screen, watching the progress bar move towards the full grid little by little, which is very intuitive.
The most ideal situation is that when this progress bar reaches the end, Zheng Guo will directly evolve peacefully and be completely controlled by Tang Mo.
When it reaches that state, the king of Zheng will give Tang Mo the Zen position with sincerity, bow to Tang Mo three times and nine times, follow a flawless process, and have a perfect ending that everyone is happy with.
In this ideal state, Tang Mo could know exactly what medicine Zheng Tong, the king of Zheng, took every day, which woman he slept with, how many times he went to the toilet, when he drank water, and when he farted.
It can be said that at that time, everyone in the Zheng State was already a member of the Datang Group, and conquering the Zheng State was just a natural process.
However, Tang Mo also knew that such a complex and huge plan could not be carried out flawlessly until the last second.
It will definitely be discovered, problems will definitely occur, and it will definitely be impossible to execute it perfectly to the last step.
Therefore, the General Staff and Nangong Hong drew a clear red line on the progress bar. The closer to this red line, the smaller the price of success; the closer to this red line, the possibility of destruction being discovered, and King Zheng starting to resist and struggle.
The higher it is.
Now, the progress bar is probably close to the red line! Because Datang Group's actions in Zheng State can no longer be concealed.
According to the analysis of materials provided by the intelligence department of the Datang Group, Zheng Tong, the king of Zheng State, has become more and more anxious recently and has asked more and more frequently about the possibility of cutting leeks.
He very much hoped to nationalize the achievements of the "Westernization Movement" in early construction, and began to worry that these constructions would become a wedding dress for others.
There is news that the Mirage Kingdom, which started industrializing earlier than the Zheng Kingdom, has begun to covet the vast territory of the Zheng Kingdom and is getting ready to make a move.
However, the new troops compiled and trained by Zheng Guo were not as obedient as expected. Most of them were hoarded in the eastern coastal areas and were unwilling to obey and go north to stabilize the border defense lines.
There are more and more railways and highways in various regions, and more and more students and workers have the thinking of the Datang Group, and they can no longer hide it.
Zheng Tong is not a fool, and neither is Zhang Ming. As long as they send their confidants to ask questions in secret, they can also ask about some strange things.
For example, as more and more modern commodities are sold in the market in the royal city, which merchant does not have his or her own channels for purchasing goods? Do you also know that the sides of the ships that dock at Linshui Port every day are higher than the roofs of restaurants?

I saw cars speeding from nowhere on the increasingly smooth road.
If even this investigation couldn't figure out the problem, Zheng Tong would have died hundreds of times. He has become uneasy recently because he knows more and more details.
"This Zheng Tong seems to be smarter than we thought, and his reaction speed is faster than Nangong Hong and the staff expected." Tang Mo looked at the map, changed the subject, and said to You Lin.
In Tang Mo's view, the Trade Alliance is just an alliance after all, and it will be disbanded sooner or later - it is impossible for several empires to continue to develop steadily. These countries will be greedy for profit, will be unable to restrain themselves, and will definitely provoke a war.
!
The unbreakable alliance is just a joke, and war is eternal. So Tang Mo is more concerned about when he can become the emperor and join this war to carve up the world.
"General Loew is still a little too optimistic." You Lin smiled and said to Tang Mo: "Because we always win, it is inevitable that there will be more optimism."
The recently established 1st Marine Division had captured almost all of Zheng's offshore islands more than half a year ago and controlled all of Zheng's trade routes.
Nowadays, all the export goods produced in Zhengzhou are actually sold to Dongwan Island, and all the imported goods received by Zheng Guo are actually allocated by Datang Group. It looks like trade, but in fact it has
It is a kind of internal circulation material distribution.
A series of battle victories have been achieved, and the army's record of winning every battle has continued. Under such circumstances, if there was no optimism or pride, Tang Mo himself would not believe it.
In fact, even the attack on Dongwan Island was started optimistically by Tang Mo's order, and the entire army ignored objective laws and various problems.
"Optimism is a good thing! But we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity." Tang Mo then responded, and then said to You Lin as if he was asking or discussing: "So, our battle plan against Zheng Guo is
Don’t you want to make a slight adjustment and start earlier?”
"If you ask Tiger, he will definitely tell you that everything is ready." You Lin replied with a smile.
She answered the question, but seemed not to answer the question.
What Tang Mo wanted to confirm was whether the army was ready to start the war. You Lin's answer was: It was ready, but not completely ready.
Tang Mo knew Tiger's character well, and Tiger would not disobey Tang Mo's attack orders just because of some minor problems.
But it is true that the military is not fully prepared. In fact, it is also impossible to be completely prepared for a war.
Even if he thinks everything is foolproof, problems of one sort or another will arise after the war breaks out. Tang Mo, an arms dealer, knows this very well, and it is something he certainly cannot change.
He can check the information and solve all the detailed problems, but in the end, due to the constraints of practical factors, it will still turn into a mess.
Imagine that he can prepare sufficient ammunition, but the transportation capacity is only so much, and the ammunition cannot be transported to the frontline areas where it is most needed on time. Will there still be problems?
There will still be problems! He cannot guarantee that every car will not break down, nor can he guarantee that every unit will encounter the planned resistance. He also cannot predict the direction and intensity of the enemy's counterattack.
In the end, various problems will still arise on the battlefield, so Tiger will not refuse any of Tang Mo's orders and will faithfully carry out Tang Mo's orders.
Because he is Tiger!
