Just after the two people fell into silence, Tang Mo suddenly said: "It seems that the war may break out soon."
Alice was stunned. The intelligence she had obtained, as well as the situation detected by Count Fischereau, showed that the war might break out in the spring, not the current late autumn.
This is completely inconsistent with the common sense of using troops, because once the war enters winter, the two warring parties will be almost completely unable to expand the results.
Of course, there are exceptions. If one party is well prepared and has sufficient cotton clothes and transportation, it may be able to gain an advantage in winter.
It's just obvious that neither the Kingdom of Wright nor the Kingdom of Susas has considered the possibility of fighting in winter in the past six months.
But at this moment, what Tang Mo said made Alice nervous. After all, she was not an expert in this area, but Tang Mo seemed very reliable.
Just listen to Tang Mo continue to say: "If nothing happens, the war will break out next month, or at the beginning of the next month."
He made this judgment based on his own intelligence and some clues. On the one hand, he inferred from the statistics from the Silver Fox Tavern and the kingdom's actual combat readiness. On the other hand, he felt it from this abnormal equipment inventory.
Danger.
In fact, Tang Mo only speculated that the kingdom was about to count weapons. He only said this to scare Sauron and open the door to selling flintlock weapons.
But Sauron's performance when he came here this time clearly proved another thing: the kingdom is indeed conducting a large-scale inventory of weapons reserves, and it is very strict.
His intelligence network had not yet covered the Leyte Kingdom, so Tang Mo did not know that this review was obviously targeting Bunas. He thought that this was a nationwide investigation.
This misjudgment made him feel that the situation was more serious, and he instinctively attributed this abnormality to the conclusion that a war was about to break out.
In fact, these were two typical misjudgments, which resulted in the correct result - Tang Mo unknowingly guessed the plan of the Cyric Consortium.
Alice was a little nervous, looked at Tang Mo and asked: "So soon? Can't wait until spring?"
"I don't know, but the sudden inspection of military equipment by the Kingdom is obviously not a good trend." Tang Mo replied absently.
What he is thinking about now is whether he has the ability to be prepared to deal with everything before the war breaks out.
At this moment, his cannon is still in the factory building, and his precious soldiers, less than 600, are his only source of wealth.
Now he has to prepare the last batch of K1 guns for Beiling in less than a month, prepare all the weapons for himself, and then immediately go north through the vicious forest to join the war when needed.
Alice looked at the absent-minded Tang Mo and continued to ask: "Aren't they planning to betray Beiling? Why are they still actively preparing for war?"
Tang Mo sneered and answered Alice's question: "They just betrayed your father and did not intend to bury him with you. Theoretically, the Susas Kingdom's goal is Beiling, but if they are on the frontal battlefield
The fight went so smoothly, do you think if you were the king of Susas, would you swallow up the Kingdom of Leyte?"
This world is so cruel, every detail is calculated, and every omission may lead to death.
Alice gritted her teeth with hatred, clenched her fists and cursed: "These damn bastards."
"Swearing won't kill them... bullets can do that." Tang Mo looked at the cute Alice and reminded her with a smile.
Alice looked at Tang Mo with a very unhappy face, and her tone became extremely firm: "So we have to produce more bullets! Let those bastards face a storm!"
This is what Tang Mo wants to hear the most. What the arms dealer wants to hear most is "increase production." So Tang Mo nodded in agreement: "That's right! I hope Lord Fischereau will give a speech when he goes to the expedition.
He can perform so well.”
"Now that we are roughly sure that the war is about to break out, we need to make plans early." He knew that his first battle to gain a foothold in this world was about to begin.
"I want to go back to Beiling...tell my father about this! We have to prepare in advance! I hope that before the war breaks out, you can send your army north to help my father win." Alice stared with beautiful eyes.
Tang Mo said calmly.
"As you wish, miss." Tang Mo behaved like a gentleman.
"Beiling will remember your friendship." Alice did not turn around, but continued: "I will too."
"That's my honor." Tang Mo looked at Alice's little face and had to say, it was a perfect face.
"Roger, you and Tiger will help me see Miss Alice off!" When something seemed to be happening, Tang Mo looked away and shouted loudly to the door, asking Roger to come in and see off the somewhat resentful lady.
Alice.
Then, he looked at Weiss and said seriously: "Call Love, Redman, and Leo! Have a meeting!"
After saying that, he walked back to the bookshelf he had just bought, and found a folded map of Beiling on top of a stack of books, which was not large or detailed.
This map is probably hand-drawn, and there is definitely a problem with its accuracy. But in this damn era, this is the only map Tang Mo can find.
When he hung the map on the wall and took two steps back to look at it with satisfaction, Love and Leo followed Redman and Weiss into Tang Mo's room.
The four big men plus Tang Mo immediately made the whole room seem crowded. Tang Mo motioned for a few people to gather around. He stood in front of the map and said, "I'm here to tell you some bad news."
...The war may break out within a month!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It wasn't this serious before..." Weiss was stunned, and then said with some surprise.
"We are not ready yet." Although the training of the troops did not last a day, Redman still felt that it was a bit rushed.
"I know." Tang Mo glanced at Leo, who was silent, and calmed everyone down before continuing: "Actually, there are various signs that our enemies are not well prepared for war.
.”
"All the intelligence we have obtained before, including some bits and pieces of information passed down by merchants, can prove that Susas did not prepare winter clothing before this, nor was he prepared to defeat Wright within a month.
The main force of the kingdom." Tang Mo pressed his hand on the wall and scratched along the border area.
At this time, Loew asked in confusion: "So, why did the other party suddenly accelerate and prepare to take risks?"
"I think... it may be because of us! The investigation we were investigated before must have been done by the Cyric Consortium. Becky is obviously a member of Giese. The investigation about Becky has aroused Giese's vigilance.
He probably heard about the new weapons and had a premonition that delaying it would be detrimental to his plan, so he accelerated his war plan." Tang Mo explained to everyone.
"By some strange combination of circumstances, the result is that our side hastened the outbreak of war?" Weiss raised his eyebrows, feeling that the joke was a bit cold.
"Almost! So, we must prepare for war as quickly as possible!" Tang Mo looked at the four people present and said, "Our enemies are Susas and the Cyric Consortium.
Have an absolute advantage in military strength."
"According to information from Beiling, on the border of Susas, the Kingdom of Sussus has assembled 22 battalions and more than 7 legions of troops." He pointed to several marked points on the map and continued to introduce the battlefield.
The basic situation: "According to the worst expectations, 4 of the legions are prepared for Beiling. The opponent has about 20,000, or even 25,000 people! Most of this force will kill from the east side of Beiling.
Come here, follow the road."
"In order to ensure logistical supplies and the convenience of setting up camp, the main force of the Kingdom of Susas will be stationed along the way. They will encounter Count Fischereau's troops here." As he spoke, he pointed at a small plain.
.
"In terms of military strength, it's about 1,500 people versus 15,000 people. Even if Lord Earl switches to a K1 fast gun, the disadvantage is obvious." Loew looked at the map and gave his own conclusion.
Redman thought for a while and expressed his opinion: "Our advantages are not without. When fighting in this area, the frontal battlefield is not too wide! The Earl, who has the advantage in firepower, may block it.
Enemy attack."
"In addition, as a surprise force, the Kingdom of Susas does not know our existence, so theoretically, the other party does not know that the actual strength of Beiling is 2,000 people, nor does it know where our 500 people will appear."
Tang Mo added: "And we are the key force that determines victory or defeat!"
"After all, surprise is good, and the 500 of us are all issued K1 guns, so our combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary troops." Redman looked at Tang Mo and made a relatively optimistic judgment.
Tang Mo did not hesitate and ordered Redman: "Go and send a signal to bring back all the troops who have been suppressing bandits and training in the vicious forest! Redman! Assemble the troops... We must be prepared. Once the Earl calls,
, we are going to Beiling to help the count and win this war for ourselves!"
"After we leave, Uncle Roger and Mr. Leo, it's up to you here!" Tang Mo looked at the two people who would not go out with the army and said sincerely.
Roger promised: "Don't worry! I will take good care of this 'factory'."
"I will sit here and send all the information to you." Leo also promised.
Tang Mo nodded and told Roger: "Be as prepared as possible and let Bernard keep an eye on the fleet. That may be another escape route for us!"
"I understand!" Roger nodded again.
"We don't have much ammunition, so we must fight quickly! I hope the enemy will give us such a chance!" Tang Mo looked around at everyone again.
"Secret weapon?" Loew asked.
"Bring the secret weapon, this may be the key to our victory!" Tang Mo replied immediately without any hesitation.
