According to Tang Mo's speculation, in the past few months, Cyric has produced more than 20,000 K1 guns!
In addition, if we also include the innovation and improvement of production technology by steam engines, then this number may be doubled!
However, it is impossible for all these weapons to be concentrated in the Wright Kingdom, so when Cyric targets Tang Mo, the total number of K1 guns is actually still about 10,000.
Leo glanced at Tang Mo and added: "There are also some purchased from Beiling. Together with their overseas channels, they are probably from Yangmu Kingdom...added together, the total number should be more than 100."
"It sounds like there are more than what we have." Roger sighed a little. After all, the scale of Cyric is really amazing.
Tang Mo smiled and reminded everyone: "However, in terms of utilization efficiency, the other party may not be able to reach our level. In addition... we have no information to confirm that they have obtained electrical equipment."
These one hundred steam engines, or even two hundred steam engines, placed in a consortium as large as Cyric, are basically a drop in the ocean and a drop in the bucket.
If Cyric wants to comprehensively innovate its production technology, they will need at least ten times more steam engines, and it will take several more months or even years of hard work before they can do it.
Unless Tang Mo helps them make the leap, just testing the effect of the steam engine in all directions will be enough for Cyric's people to use their imaginations for half a year!
Everyone listened carefully. Everyone knew that the war seemed to have begun. In this case, Tang Mo would definitely make arrangements.
Tang Mo didn't pause and continued: "In other words, they have not yet used electric energy on a large scale, and we have not received any information about their use of steam engines in mines and ships."
"Well, in other words, Cyric's steam engines are not enough. They can only be used to produce steam engines or produce more weapons..." After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone: "That's pretty much it."
Leo took over Tang Mo's words and talked about the war situation this time: "However, the news that the other party is gathering troops can be confirmed."
He said, in order to explain more clearly, he stood up and walked to the map, raised his hand to point at the map, and moved westward along the road: "Our people confirmed that three days ago, the enemy troops were on the outskirts of the royal city.
In the name of training, more than 3,000 troops were assembled."
As he spoke, he placed his hand near Bunas: "Then these troops did not disband, but moved westward along the road and were slowly approaching Bunas."
"3,000 people? Do they underestimate us too much?" Weiss sneered and said with some disdain.
He and Tang Mo had defeated ten times more enemies in Beiling. Now in his opinion, 3,000 people were not enough for Tang Mo's security forces.
After all, he knew that the training intensity, weapons and equipment, and even tactical awareness of the so-called Datang Group's security forces were far ahead of this era.
He was very convinced of this. Any soldier of the Datang Group's security force would have absolutely no problem being a battalion commander, or even a regiment commander!
Coupled with the weapons and equipment Tang Mo hid, and the damn train artillery ring position he visited... He felt that even if the opponent really gathered 20,000 people, Tang Mo would not be without the power to fight.
What's more, who doesn't know Earl Beiling's current attitude towards Bunas. If there really is a fight, the Northridge Army will go south to support Bunas. It will only be a matter of minutes.
By then, Bunas will not only have 1,500 soldiers, but at least two legions of 3,000 defenders! Relying on new weapons and positions built in advance, 3,000 people may not be unable to fight against 20,000 people...
Leo glanced at Weiss and immediately explained: "They did not underestimate us, on the contrary, they took us very seriously... They advanced slowly in order to wait for the troops assembled elsewhere. They did not dare to assemble a large army near the royal city, so
It will arouse the fear of the king."
"What now? How many have the other party gathered?" Tang Mo asked curiously.
Leo gave a fairly accurate figure: "Including the private troops that have gathered at the border of our control area, the opponent's total strength has exceeded 10,000 people."
In fact, with Tang Mo's financial support and the contacts opened by the arms, Leo's Silver Fox Tavern's current strength has increased exponentially compared to before.
They can now monitor the entire Wright Kingdom and basically control all information acquisition.
If you take into account the manpower telegraph system Tang Mo provided them, the accelerated intelligence transmission speed, and the manpower and material resources saved, Tang Mo's intelligence system can be said to be very powerful.
The Silver Fox Tavern has now begun to penetrate into the Kingdom of Susas and other kingdoms. Although it is impossible to cover everything in the Kingdom of Wright, it is still possible to gather information.
As for those scattered Dandelions, they actually do not belong to the Silver Fox Tavern, but are personnel sent by Tang Mo to perform tasks independently. They are another organization, another set of command systems, and they belong directly to Tang Mo personally.
.
Moreover, these elites are not just undercover spies, but have other uses. Letting these people perform simple spy missions is really overkill.
"It seems they want to use 10 legions to deal with my security forces." Tang Mo made a rough calculation and roughly deduced the opponent's strength.
About 10,000 people have been assembled, but they did not launch an attack immediately. Apparently, there are still more troops being assembled.
Calculating the new weapons such as needle guns that the other party has at their disposal, it is obvious that the other party will have to assemble at least 10 legions and more than 15,000 troops. No more, no less, exactly ten times the strength of Tang Mo's main force.
!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, the military strength cannot be calculated in this way, because Tang Mo also has the absolute support of Beiling and the secret help of the king.
If these external forces are calculated, the strength comparison between the two sides is basically about 10 legions against 4 legions.
Moreover, Tang Mo's legion is not 1,500 people, but almost 2,000 people. Although there are still three battalions, the artillery has been strengthened, and a main regiment of machine gun groups has been strengthened. That number is larger than that of the legion.
A lot more.
After all, just from the perspective of the logistics system, the speed at which Tang Mo's troops consume ammunition and the need for supplies are far beyond this era.
"Wishful thinking!" Tiger refuted loudly: "We can beat these bastards with one against ten!"
The murderer of the Earl has not yet been found, and that guy Chumro disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the world.
But there are various signs that this matter is inseparable from Cyric, so Tiger's hatred for Cyric's consortium is really unforgettable.
He had subjectively determined that Cyric was the real culprit behind the murder of Earl Fisherot, so he had been holding back his breath, preparing to compete with Cyric on the battlefield.
"Is there any way to deal with them?" he asked with a smile, looking at Redman and Love, knowingly.
"Easy!" Loew replied without hesitation.
Tang Mo nodded, and then ordered to Redman: "Then... let our troops enter a state of combat readiness. We must always give others some face."
"Yes!" Redman stood up, raised his chin, and stood at attention in salute.
"Yes!" Tiger and Loew both stood up, stood at attention and saluted loudly in response.
"You don't have to go to the front line this time, right?" Weiss looked at Tang Mo and asked with a smile.
"Although it's not necessary, it's still good to go and see the excitement." Tang Mo also laughed and teased Weiss.
Wes immediately looked helpless, causing everyone to laugh.
A few minutes later, inside the barracks, a soldier quickly ran towards the alarm and began to desperately shake the handle on it.
Sharp, harsh sounds began to reverberate, and the originally silent barracks immediately became manic.
The heavily armed soldiers of the Datang Group's security forces were neatly dressed, carrying their own 98K rifles, and silently and quickly formed a square formation.
Everyone was checking their equipment. They were carrying backpacks, leather armed vests with many pockets on them, and leather ammunition pouches with ammunition hung on their sides.
There is a grain bag hanging on the buttocks behind him, a sapper's shovel hanging on the buttocks on the other side, and a kettle hanging on the outside of the sapper's shovel.
In the most convenient position, there is a rifle bayonet on one side and a revolver on the other - these soldiers are all treasures, and Tang Mo distributed the best equipment to everyone.
All soldiers have steel helmets. The style of the helmet was directly copied by Tang Mo from the German M35. It looks handsome and has good functions.
Tiger used to be very opposed to equipping soldiers with useless armor. He felt that helmets were a complete waste of steel and an outdated behavior.
However, Tang Mo insisted on issuing steel helmets to all soldiers, and even forced all soldiers and officers to wear steel helmets on the battlefield, and was not allowed to use the cloth caps used in daily training.
Due to the season, all the long coats issued by Tang Mo's troops have been replaced by short coats, and the fabric is thinner and more breathable.
Even in order for these soldiers to protect their feet, Tang Mo issued high-waisted leather boots to each soldier - the lace-up kind, which are easier to take off and also serve as part of the leggings.
The security forces of the Datang Group are mixed with tactical equipment from World War I and World War II, Germany, the United States and other countries. From the perspective of this era, every detail exudes the alluring fragrance of underworld, and they will reason with you everywhere!
The handsomeness that this set of equipment exudes from the inside out makes these assembled soldiers more upright and capable, more powerful and fierce, and more ruthless... ruthless...
