However, the problem that needs to be solved now is the alliance between the Lions Empire, which is half-hearted, or seeking some sense of strategic security, and the Gobel Kingdom.
The Gobel Kingdom is a Cyric force through and through. Everyone knows this. As a quasi-hostile force that has always been on the opposite side of the Tang Group, the alliance between the Gobel Kingdom and the Lions Empire controlled by Cyric
, must be lifted.
This is the second purpose of the trip of the special envoy of the Tang Kingdom.
"I understand what you mean... We will consider it seriously." Seeing that his emperor was sullen and silent, the Prime Minister of Lines quickly stood up and said: "But our Lines Empire is not threatened by anyone! This point
I need you to understand!”
The previous sentence is the attitude of the Lines Empire, indicating that the Lines Empire has felt the threat of the Datang Group and will seriously consider the will of the Datang Group.
The following sentence is a rhetorical statement, trying to find a way out for himself, and maintaining the political status of the Lions Empire in front of the Tang Kingdom.
You can't just kneel down and call someone daddy without struggling. It is indeed a very shameless thing. You need to consider the need to struggle, and finally kneel down due to the situation, and call someone daddy with humiliation. In the eyes of outsiders,
At least you have the integrity to speak...
The special envoy of the Datang Kingdom also knew that it was completely meaningless to continue to be aggressive. He only needed to make the other party feel the political pressure of the Datang Kingdom.
So he also smiled and explained: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the Tang Kingdom will not threaten anyone. We remain neutral. This is our consistent attitude. We are a peace-loving country and have always been so."
Are you a peace-loving force? Why do you have the nerve to say such heartless things? He cursed in his heart, but the prime minister still had a smile on his face.
From the day it was born, the Datang Group has been confronting the arms dealers of the Cyric Consortium. Up to now, almost two-fifths of the countries in the world are using weapons developed and produced by the Datang Group.
equipment!
Such a damn arms oligarchy who feeds on war can be so shameless and say that he loves peace! God, you love peace!
At this point, the prime minister was suddenly startled. He discovered that arms dealers really like peace: what arms dealers like is not war, what they really like is arms races in peacetime!
Although war can consume a large amount of weapons and equipment, there will be a long period of time after the war ends when no one is interested in weapons and equipment.
Because the war is over and the victory has been decided, the victorious country no longer needs to maintain a strong military force for a long time to intimidate evenly matched opponents.
This is just like playing Go. A strong person cannot play a high-quality game. You need an equally strong opponent.
But the arms race is different. Although there is less wartime consumption, weapons do have a shelf life, and countless weapons are still destroyed in peacetime.
But there is no end to the arms race. Countries participating in the arms race will not spend a penny less, because their opponents will not spend a penny less!
And this kind of competition is never-ending. As long as they have a penny, they will spend a penny! No regrets! Because as long as you maintain a peaceful state, you will never be able to defeat your opponent, and the arms race will continue.
Continue.
This is typical businessman logic, this is the routine thinking of arms dealers. This is the fundamental reason why businessmen can never play politics.
These cunning and inhuman arms dealer bastards! The prime minister cursed secretly in his heart and continued to maintain a warm smile on his face.
"In fact, we are preparing to launch a package of post-war economic recovery plans to help the participating countries restore their pre-war economies and help civilians escape poverty." After the blow, the special envoy from the Tang Dynasty gave another sweet date.
It is obviously dangerous and unrealistic to simply coerce these warring countries to give up their own national interests, so helping these countries solve their economic difficulties is the best way to make them willingly return to peace.
The Tang Kingdom needs a year to recuperate and accumulate strength to continue to expand outwards. Therefore, it is necessary to allow these industrial countries in the Trade Alliance to take a year to prosper the economy around the Endless Sea.
"I'm looking forward to seeing such a plan." Lions I, who was already walking down the steps, coughed and said at this time.
He rejoined the conversation and expressed the attitude of the Lions Empire: If you give money to technology, then I don't mind kneeling down to lick you again and call you daddy.
"Soon, Mr. Harry will draw up a plan and send it to you. The entire framework is still rough at the moment, but we already have a general direction." Mr. Special Envoy said with certainty.
Of course, it was impossible for Tang Mo to predict the specific reactions of all countries when faced with mediation, so he had no way to come up with a plan that satisfied everyone.
However, he can use his influence to interfere with high-level decisions in many countries that are beneficial to the Tang Kingdom, but this requires paying a price.
Tang Mo didn't want to waste his chips on other people's affairs, so he set the tone for this mediation: use conventional methods as much as possible.
If that doesn't work, just get rid of one or two of the annoying, uncontrolled fringe countries to make the whole situation tidier and clearer.
"Then we will wait and see." The prime minister spoke again at this time. By saying this, he could leave more room for maneuver for his Majesty the Emperor.
…
During the confrontation between Tang Mo's special envoy and His Majesty the Emperor of the Lions Empire, another Cyric tank was destroyed on the battlefield of Gobel's northern front.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What destroyed this tank was not a new weapon, but a temporarily modified 76mm anti-aircraft gun from the Kingdom of Dorne!
This type of anti-aircraft weapon was originally designed to destroy airships. Because the muzzle velocity of the shell is high enough and the trajectory is straight, it is perfect for hitting tanks.
Frankly speaking, the emergence of this new weapon has actually had a certain impact on the No. 4 tank of the Tang Dynasty, because with the current 60 mm thick front armor of the No. 4 tank, it wants to resist the 76 mm caliber.
The cannonball is quite reluctant.
Tang Mo later regretted it slightly, especially when he saw the Cyric tanks on the Gobel battlefield.
The anti-tank weapon ideas he provided to Dorn can really be said to be a killing blow when it comes to dealing with Goblins' tanks.
If he had known that the tanks Gobel put into the war were rags on the level of the A7V, he would have been able to just produce some machine gun bullets with armor-piercing warheads, and he would have been able to cope with it.
As a result, now...
The 76mm anti-aircraft gun fixed on a low gun mount was hidden on the flank of a trench on the already shaky border defense line.
This artillery was well concealed and cleverly took advantage of the terrain, preventing Gobel's troops from discovering this insidious flank position from the front.
The anti-aircraft gun with its muzzle protruding was aimed at another Goblin tank in the distance that stumbled into the Dornish garrison position.
The tank was turning and seemed to have discovered a Dorn heavy machine gun position on the other side that was constantly firing to attract attention.
Just as the tank turned, the anti-aircraft gun fired a shell. The speeding shell made a chilling roar and hit the steel plate on the side of the Gobel tank.
Because it was not equipped with a true armor-piercing projectile, the shell equipped with a bump fuse exploded, and the shock wave began to distort the steel plate near it.
Although it was not a special warhead, the force like the impact of a hammer still penetrated the thin steel plate and affected the driver inside.
The Goblin soldier who was still controlling the machine gun fire was instantly swallowed up by the explosion, and the deputy shooter standing next to him suffered the same fate.
The machine gunner directly in front of the tank felt the air wave coming from behind, and the next moment he knew nothing.
In order to deploy machine gun firepower in all directions, Cyric's tank design is the same as that of the ship, with the power system installed in the center of the tank.
In the rotatable turret in the middle, the commander and loader are fighting on the engine. This design ensures that the tank can be equipped with machine guns on the front, rear, left and right to suppress enemy firepower, and also increases the height of the entire tank.
After the shell exploded and penetrated the armor, the shock wave and shattered steel hit everyone inside the tank and the power unit.
The fuel tanks and artillery shells exploded, and the huge tank instantly disintegrated and turned into a ball of burning flames.
There are 12 operators for the six machine guns. Including the commander, gunner and driver, the entire Cyric version of the A7V tank has a crew of 16.
After this shot, none of the 16 precious crew members were spared. They were all swallowed up by the flames, and no one escaped.
The battle is still going on, and it will not stop suddenly just because a tank is destroyed. There are more tanks constantly trying on the battlefield, and Dorne's last border defense is still shaky.
But Bolton still persisted. He withstood the attack of the Gobel Kingdom and helped Dorne stabilize the southern front. This bought time and the Tang Kingdom time to react and start mediating the war!
Everyone knows that after many weapons specifically designed to deal with tanks entered the battlefield, and after Dorne's last line of defense held on, it was obvious that Goblin's offensive was beginning to lose its strength!
