1312 The territory of the empire is sacred and inviolable
In Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Mo came to all the reporters wearing his five-clawed golden dragon dress. He was still young. An emperor who was less than forty years old could be called a young and powerful emperor from any angle.
for.
He waved his hand gently, and the venue returned to silence. Then he turned to the microphone and announced to all the reporters attending the meeting: "You may already know that the Tang Empire officially announced its intention to treat Ryans a few hours ago.
The Empire declares war."
"Now, the Tang Empire has declared war on the Dorne Empire, the Qin Empire, and the Lions Empire... If there are still countries willing to take action against the Tang Empire, now is a good opportunity." He paused after finishing speaking.
, there was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Most of the reporters who come here to interview are reporters from newspapers in the Tang Dynasty. Some of them are from "Datang Daily", some are from "Datang Empire", and some are from "Tangren Express".
Compared with past press conferences, this time there were reporters from several TV stations. Cameras of all sizes were almost lined up on a wall. The flashes kept lighting up and the sound of clicking shutters at the venue could not stop.
Come down.
"After verification, I will now personally inform you of the latest battle situation on the front line." Tang Mo waited for the reporters below to take enough pictures before continuing.
He opened the document in his hand, glanced down, and said: "As of last night, the Tang Empire troops have recaptured the four cities of Xiajuan, Shanchong, Jutian, and Pingfeng. They have surrounded Dongqing and the forward troops have advanced.
To Yongping."
Yongping City is the official name given by the Tang Empire to the old capital of the Dahua Empire. Official documents were first seen in some records after the Dahua Kingdom became a tributary of the Tang Empire.
This was the first time that the Tang Empire officially announced its victory to the outside world, and it was also the first time that the two sides officially announced the status of the war since the war began.
"In the Battle of Xiajuan, our army annihilated a total of more than 639,000 people, and captured more than 510,000 of them. In the Battle of Dongqing, our army captured Ying'an, the commander of the Qin Army in Dongqing." Tang Mo said.
When I came here, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience.
Some reporters whispered among themselves that they did not believe that the Tang Empire had achieved such a glorious victory. You know, the war had only started for more than a month, how could such a one-sided battle situation occur?
Ignoring the exclamations of reporters in the audience, Tang Mo continued to talk to himself: "The Tang Empire Navy has annihilated the combined fleet of Dorne and the Qin Empire, sunk 7 aircraft carriers of the Dorne Empire, and sunk 3 aircraft carriers of the Qin Empire.
aircraft carrier."
"Currently, the Imperial Navy of the Tang Dynasty has completely gained control of the southern waters of the Endless Sea." After he finished speaking, he paused again, waiting for the reporter below to digest what he had just said.
After a few seconds of silence, a commotion broke out below. Everyone was whispering to the people around them, and they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
All seven aircraft carriers of Dorne Navy were sunk.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire! Did you exaggerate the results of the war? Or did you not verify the results at all?" A reporter from the Nanla Empire raised his hand and asked.
Tang Mo smiled and shook his head slightly to answer his question: "No! Mr. Reporter, I have verified this result with my naval marshal and chief of staff, and it is confirmed to be correct."
"But! Your Majesty! We haven't heard anything similar from Dorne... They don't seem to know that their fleet has been wiped out." A reporter from the Sussus Empire stood up in excitement while raising his hands.
Ask questions directly.
Just as the guard maintaining order next to him wanted to stop him, Weiss, who was standing behind Tang Mo, stopped him with his eyes. Tang Mo looked at the other party and replied confidently: "Oh, I think they don't know their fleet yet.
All sunk."
"You mean, the Tang Empire destroyed an entire fleet, and the fleet didn't even have time to send a telegram to report that it had been wiped out?" A reporter seemed to have caught the loophole in Tang Mo's words and asked excitedly
.
Because this question was too absurd, no one believed that the Tang Empire could do such an outrageous thing, so many reporters burst into laughter.
Without refuting the other party, Tang Mo nodded: "They really shouldn't be able to send a telegram, but the Qin State should already know the news... because they may have picked up a lot of Dornish sailors who leaked."
The venue fell silent again, and no one knew what to say. They wanted to refute the arrogance of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the other party was obviously not a fool.
This kind of thing can be easily falsified by the other party, so no emperor would use his own credibility to make such a joke. Frankly speaking, although the emperor's credibility is not very reliable, it is still very valuable to many people.
Especially the credibility of the Tang Empire, which is more precious than gold. Tang Mo does not need to waste his credibility on such things.
But think about it on the other hand, if Tang Mo didn't lie, doesn't it mean that the Tang Empire really wiped out the entire combined fleet, and even made the entire combined fleet annihilated without even being able to send a message?
Are you kidding? Doesn't that mean that this time the anti-Tang alliance led by the Dorne Empire, the Qin Empire, and the Lions Empire fell apart again?
The Second Anti-Tang War failed again? Then... didn't the Tang Empire really want to unify the Western Continent and become the world's hegemon?
Of course, it was not controversial to be the world hegemon before, but this time, I am afraid that I am not going to become the kind of super overlord that has never appeared before, which is recognized and no one dares to question, and can spread influence to the whole world.
?
In the past, it was not that there were no so-called hegemons in the world. For example, the Nanla Empire on the Eastern Continent and the Dahua Empire on the Western Continent all had their own influence on their respective continents.
However, these overlords are only regional, and they are all overlords that everyone has tacitly acknowledged and have never openly acknowledged.
This time, the Tang Empire will hopefully become the first substantial hegemon in the world that can be recognized on paper by all empires.
"Now, my fleet is attacking the fleet of the Lions Empire! If this battle is won, then the Tang Empire will gain control of the Endless Sea!" Tang Mo continued when he saw that the reporters had stopped talking.
"Soon, my army will retake the territory of the vassal states occupied by the Qin army! Since these territories are not protected by the vassal states, the Tang Empire will administer these territories on behalf of these countries! From now on...the territories of these vassal states
, will be regarded as the territory of the Tang Empire! Sacred and inviolable!"
