Recently, the sales department of Datang Group has been making money too fast. They have sold so many things that even the production department has begun to complain.
First of all, the Great China Empire purchased a large amount of supplies and arms. Because the grain-producing areas near Wanliang became battlefields, the Great China Empire even had to import some of its food.
But in addition to the Tang Empire, the Qin State had already gone to war with the Shu State. The Great China Empire had no place to import food and could only buy it at a high price from the Tang Empire.
In addition to food, because of the war, the Great China Empire also had to spend money to buy various arms and supplies to supplement their losses.
Therefore, just from the transaction with the Dahua Empire, Datang Group's industrial department has already made a lot of money.
In addition, there was Fengjiang's income: even though the Tang Empire supported Fengjiang on the surface and provided a large amount of arms assistance, in fact there were still many products that needed to be charged, so Fengjiang also spent a lot of money.
money.
In order to please the Tang Empire, the Chu State also spent money to purchase a lot of industrial equipment. At the same time, they also purchased medicines and various weapons and equipment from the Tang Empire.
Both Shu and Qin were also crazy about importing materials and military supplies. Qin even directly purchased tank production lines and more aircraft production lines.
The total purchases from these countries are already considerable, but even so, the revenue from the Tang Empire's export of weapons and equipment such as Scud missiles and radars still needs to be added.
Including the income dividends from the Cyric Consortium, the money earned by Datang Group in the past month or so has even caused countries around the world to fall into a vicious cycle of trade deficits.
However, with the spread of technology in the Tang Empire, the world is also quietly undergoing a series of changes. There are more and more roads in the world, more and more railways, more and more cities, and the population is naturally increasing.
more.
In the past year alone, more than 2,000 airports have been put into use around the world, and the infrastructure of all countries has been greatly improved. Even the backward orcs already have a small domestic railway.
Electricity has begun to become popular, and many villages have begun to use electric lights. Although incandescent lamps are still the mainstream, the Tang Empire has taken the lead in popularizing fluorescent lamps.
As the most successful arms dealer in the world, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire was able to cover almost all of his expenses for the past year just by relying on the income from selling radars.
Including his support for Fengjiang's civil war, providing weapons for Fengjiang, and helping Fengjiang recruit mercenaries, all Tang Mo's expenses were covered by the income from radar alone.
He was so rich, so rich that people could not imagine. According to his order, all buildings under construction in the Tang Empire must reserve pipes for the subsequent popularization of telephone lines, cable TV networks, and
Reserve space for future network lines.
According to the Tang Empire's rate of launching satellites with 10 rockets per month, Tang Mo felt that he would soon push the world into the Internet era. If he did not actively prepare, he would definitely waste a lot of time.
What he lacks is time! The nuclear bombs that have already been manufactured need time, the computer technology that is developing towards large-scale integrated circuits needs time, high-performance family cars need time, and even Tang Mo's son and daughter need time to grow up.
Just when Tang Mo lamented that he didn't have enough time and that the development of technology could not keep up with his needs, the bartender from the intelligence department hurriedly sent a piece of information.
"Your Majesty! Accurate news just sent! The Huaishan defense line of Shu has collapsed." The bartender handed the document to Tang Mo, who was startled for a moment, and lowered his head to report the report.
Tang Mo really didn't expect Qin to be so ruthless and directly penetrated Shu's defense line. Before the help from the Tang Empire reached Qin, he completed the most critical step of the strategic offensive.
As long as the Qin State captures Huaishan, it can attack eastward along the border of the Great China Empire, cut off the connection between the Shu Kingdom and the Great China Empire, and complete the strategic deployment of bordering the Chu Kingdom.
"The people of Qin fought well." Tang Mo lowered his head and looked at the intelligence, which recorded in detail how Qin penetrated Shu's defense line.
On the one hand, the Qin State paid a lot of money to bribe some profiteers of the Shu State, and obtained the defense plans of the Shu State from them. At the same time, it also instigated some generals of the Shu State to rebel, so that they were ready to cooperate internally and externally.
In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Qin also mobilized their most elite First Army and began to attack Huaishan at all costs.
The Shu Kingdom was caught off guard and was immediately confused. After causing a large number of casualties to the Qin Kingdom, it finally became unsustainable and lost the most important fulcrum of the Huaishan defense line - Huaishan City.
After losing the Huaishan Mountain, the Shu Kingdom was completely passive. They were forced to retreat southward and set up a new defense line along the Shushan Mountain further south.
The reason why the Kingdom of Shu is called the Kingdom of Shu is because there is a mountain range running through the country called Shu Mountain. The huge mountain range has become their natural line of defense and their treasure.
This mountain range not only provides a barrier for the Shu Kingdom, but also provides the Shu Kingdom with a large amount of mineral deposits and countless mountain resources. Of course, now... it has become a frontline.
However, the Qin State's goal at the beginning was not for the mineral veins of the Shu Mountains, but to border the Chu State to the east and bypass the exploitation of the Great China Empire and the Shu State.
But after taking Huaishan and really opening up the door to the Kingdom of Shu, the top and bottom of the Qin Kingdom also began to have some unrealistic fantasies: If they went south and annexed the Kingdom of Shu, would there be more
How much capital?
In fact, Qin's biggest dream has always been to swallow up half of the Great China Empire and border the Tang Empire in Dongqing City and Shanchong.
Of course, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Even if the Tang Empire is really willing to carve up Great China with the Qin State, it is impossible to leave the best part of the Great China Empire to the Qin State.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So the actual situation is that the Tang Empire is likely to monopolize Dahua, and at most it will leave some border areas on the west side of Dahua to Qin.
This completely shattered Qin's dream of advancing eastward, and Shu became Qin's only option for expansion: the people of Qin really didn't like the barren mountains and rivers of the Orc Empire.
"The Qin State is now divided into two groups. One group is marching towards Shushan City, and the other group is pushing eastward along the border of the Great China Empire..." the bartender reminded Tang Mo.
Tang Mo nodded, and the joy on his face really couldn't be hidden: when he and Nangong Hong made the plan, they just hoped that the Qin State would be greedy and muddy the water. Now it seems that the effect is very good, and the Qin State really has to look forward to Shu.
.
"Don't worry about Qin State's affairs for now. You can find Nangong Hong for me first. We will ask Chu State to hand over Nanshan Port to me as soon as possible." Tang Mo even laughed as he spoke.
The Tang State effortlessly obtained Chu State's largest port, and at the same time dragged almost all the countries in the Western Continent into the war. What a wonderful moment this was.
Once the Tang Empire controls Nanshan Port, it can develop the railway from Nanshan to the hinterland of the Tang Empire. By that time, Tang Mo will own almost all the large ports on the east coast.
To put it bluntly, if you want to send goods from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, or from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent, you cannot go around the Tang Empire by traveling across the endless sea.
What a wonderful thing this is, just like the British Empire holds Gibraltar and the United States controls Panama... It's pleasing to the eye just thinking about it.
Moreover, the Imperial Navy of the Tang Dynasty will also gain a huge depth starting from Nanshan Port in the south, Longdao in the east, and Beiyuan City in the north, relying on Dongwan Island and Linshui Port in the middle.
In the future, this sea area will become the private property of the Tang Empire, absolute territorial waters! Any foreign ship entering this sea area can only abide by the legal requirements of the Tang Empire. This is a beautiful thing.
"Yes! Your Majesty." The bartender was huge, with a majestic figure. He was slightly stooped and a little taller than Tang Mo. He exited Tang Mo's room, and Tang Mo lowered his head again to look at the information in his hand.
The Qin State was so powerful, so Tang Mo felt that he should use a little more force in the direction of Fengjiang. If the civil war in Fengjiang was allowed to continue, the interests of the Tang Empire might be harmed.
According to the original plan, after Fengjiang received the support of the Tang Empire, they should invade Dongqing City and completely split with the Dahua Empire.
But the current situation is that the Great China Empire is still fighting hard against the Fengjiang rebels in Fengjiang City, which is a bit far from the expectations of the Tang Empire.
A lot of new things have happened in less than a month recently, many of which can even be described as stormy waves.
For example, at this turbulent moment, Chu Muzhou, the once steadfast anchor of the Great China Empire and firmly seated as prime minister, actually resigned.
What is unexpected is that the emperor of the Dahua Empire actually approved Chu Muzhou's resignation and dismissed all three of Chu Muzhou's sons in one go.
The Chu family suddenly fell into the mortal world, and the political arena of the Great China Empire was in chaos. No one expected that the two missiles "sold" by the Tang Empire to Fengjiang were so powerful, and brought turmoil to the political arena of the Great China Empire.
an increase.
These two missiles not only stirred up the court of the Dahua Empire, but also stirred up the hearts of many people. Those who had their own little ideas began to get ready to take action after hearing the news that Zhao Kai was injured.
Among them was Zhao Jie, a member of the royal family who held a heavy army. Zhao Kai was injured and Zhao Ji was under house arrest. He...suddenly discovered that he might also be a strong contender for the throne!
At least, no matter from which angle you look at it, Zhao Jie is much more powerful than Zhao Kai's remaining ineffective sons. Of course, he is not without disadvantages, after all, he is not Zhao Kai's son...
