"Then, Mingren doesn't have to tell secret words... Augustine John, what have you brought, will definitely seduce me, so that I will not kill you right away to vent my hatred, and wait for one day when I am in a better mood, I can go to Yang
Will the Wood Kingdom take a walk and completely destroy the Augustine family?" Tang Mo stared at John with a smile, but in the end he asked a very harsh question.
The moment he finished speaking, almost everyone behind Tang Mo pulled out pistols from their waists, and the muzzles of seven or eight black guns were pointed coldly at John's head.
At this moment, John's reaction speed seemed to exceed his own limit. He spoke immediately and shouted without any hesitation: "I brought you a map!"
Although there was an Elf warship docked not far behind him, John knew that the artillery on that warship could not save his life.
By the time the elven sailors knew that they had been killed, Tang Mo would have already left the port and returned to Bunas City.
Tang Mo was stunned for a moment when he heard this word. He obviously did not expect that the other party would use land in exchange - to be honest, he did long for land, but he had no desire for the kind of enclave far away in Yangmu Kingdom.
What an interest.
What he hopes to get is the kind of land that he can manage by himself and become his own territory. For him, it is best to have an island, a big island.
So Tang Mo's tone obviously slowed down a bit, and he continued to ask John with interest: "Ah! The map... I'm starting to get a little interested. Tell me, what kind of map is this?"
"About a year ago, we discovered an island in the Endless Sea! A very big island!" John's voice trembled a little because it was the first time he had seen Tang Mo's somewhat irritable negotiating style.
The previous time, Tang Mo was like a salesman, chattering endlessly, but he was also very amiable and easy to get along with.
But this time, Tang Mo in front of him seemed to have a bigger temper and became a bit fierce. He even felt a murderous aura from Tang Mo.
It was a very subtle feeling, because he had seen sailors and soldiers who had killed people, so he was very sensitive to this somewhat dangerous aura.
"Keep talking." Tang Mo paused when he heard John talking, and continued to remind him coldly. But when he said this, he waved his palm back, and Weiss and others' fingers
, is no longer pressed against the trigger of the pistol.
John was startled, and then quickly continued to introduce: "This island is far away from the Yangmu Kingdom and other kingdoms, including the Wright Kingdom, and the location is very remote."
In order to describe how big the island is, John gestured and used the information he knew to describe the size of the island: "We tried to explore the island, but we didn't get to the edge! We found no traces of people on the island.
, everywhere is in pristine condition.”
"Well, keep talking." After hearing this, Tang Mo seemed to be more interested in this island. As long as it is not in the earthquake zone and can be farmed, it will be very profitable if he has the opportunity to get it.
As a result, just when Tang Mo was thinking about how to use the island, John broke out an even more shocking news: "There is kerosene on this island! There is even a black stream with kerosene flowing! So we named it
For...the Black Dragon Island!"
Holy shit! Tang Mo cursed directly in his heart. This is really a God-given island! There is oil on the island? God and I must take it! If we don’t take it, we are in vain!
His future development will definitely require the exploitation of oil resources. If you can hold an oil field in your hands at this time, it won't be too exciting, okay?
What's more, even if he is just selling oil, if there is an oil field, he can lie down and count the money, okay? What is this? This is simply a Saudi prince, a winner in life!
"Although several countries have discovered this island, they have not yet had time to let other countries recognize their sovereignty over this island..." After John threw out a lot of good news, he finally said this briefly.
The issue of ownership of the island.
Tang Mo sneered: "A hot potato... John, is this how you deceive your friends?"
"This is an opportunity! As long as you occupy that island, you can become the uncrowned king there!" John said immediately.
Tang Mo shook his head, feeling that there was no need to take risks: "It sounds more like a trap."
"..." John no longer knew what he should say, because he had almost finished everything he could say.
Tang Mo released his hand on John's shoulder and pressed down the muzzle of Wes's gun next to him: "But... the nuts placed in this trap look quite tempting."
Seeing his actions, Tang Mo's guards behind him, who were pointing guns at John, also put down their weapons.
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and John knew that his life was saved. He looked at the guards beside Tang Mo, then swallowed to cover up his nervousness, and then said: "I swear to you!
If you could control that place, you would definitely..."
"I don't have time." Tang Mo reluctantly pulled himself back to reality, and also pulled John back to reality.
He simply did not have the strength to send troops to that distant island. Even if he gave up his family fortune here and sent all his troops out, he did not have the basic transportation capacity to transport these troops.
Yes, even if he has more than a dozen large ships, this is not a one-time deal to invest troops! He wants to ensure that these troops have supplies, and at the same time ensure the safety of transportation routes.
This cannot be guaranteed by more than a dozen broken ships. Even these ships are struggling to maintain basic supplies. If a war really breaks out on a remote island, the little wealth he has accumulated with so much painstaking efforts will probably be lost on Black Dragon Island.
.
That place can be taken, but not now. Tang Mo must accumulate strength to take over this island one day in the future.
"Ah?" Hearing Tang Mo say that he didn't have time, John didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for a while, and then looked at Tang Mo in surprise, and asked in a long voice with a questioning face.
Tang Mo shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless gesture: "I don't have time to expand now, let alone the island. Even if you give me Bunas, I can't eat it."
He is telling the truth. In fact, he has expanded to the limit of the current stage. If he wants to continue to expand, he must find a bigger buyer.
After all, making money in exchange for more production means is the basis for his continued expansion. And obviously a Earl of Beiling cannot support Tang Mo's current factory scale.
"..." After hearing what Tang Mo said, John once again felt that he could not answer the question. He could only remain silent, depressed and silent.
Just when he was depressed, Tang Mo's tone became more warm: "However, since you are here, it is still of some use. At least, you can let me use your identity to continue here.
Cheating."
As Tang Mo said this, he put his arm around John's shoulders: "After all, I can't really beat you to death, right?"
"..." John felt that coming here might be a wrong choice.
When he regretted it, Tang Mo's eyes had already moved from him to the Elf warship in the distance: "Oh... that's right! This warship is not bad. If I seize it, what will you do?"
Will father be furious?"
It was a brand new first-class battleship with 30 guns on each side. In this era, it was a very expensive and powerful battleship.
"..." John thought about it, but did not dare to say it. The battleship just sent him here and would return soon.
He was afraid that if he didn't leave the battleship to Tang Mo, Tang Mo might push him into the sea to feed the fish.
When John was silent for a long time, Tang Mo nodded confidently and said happily: "It seems he will, that's good, let your people put down their weapons and hand this battleship to me!
If they resist, I will show you my new weapon."
"You! You have a new weapon?" After hearing the news, John no longer cared about being afraid. He looked at Tang Mo in surprise, hoping to see some clues from Tang Mo's face.
At this time, Tang Mo looked at the battleship in the distance as if looking at a target. He nodded and said threateningly: "Yes, after you left, my technical engineer had an idea and came up with a plan.
A brand new field gun...well, it's not very mature, but it's still very easy to sink a battleship."
"..." John felt that Tang Mo now wanted to be a devil. His threats made John's hair stand on end, but he did not dare to have any thoughts of resistance.
Because he believed deep down that Tang Mo really had a new weapon that could easily destroy battleships...
"Let's go! Come with me for a drink and introduce some people to you... Oh, by the way, you can call me master like them." Tang Mo put his arms around John, as if holding him hostage, and prepared like this
Get on the carriage.
"..." John glanced at Tang Mo depressedly, wanting to remind Tang Mo: Didn't you just say that the two of us are best friends? Why have I become your subordinate now?
?
Tang Mo stopped and looked at John, who was walking back to the carriage without following him: "What? Don't I look like him?"
John immediately followed suit: "As you wish, my master."
"Hahahaha!" Tang Mo laughed loudly, with a feeling of loneliness.
