"Let's see what you're looking for for me." When Tang Mo saw Nangong Hong, he pretended to be in pain and said.
Nangong Hong was also a landlubber. He couldn't even swim. He returned to Bunas all the way from Rewind Port, and his face was no better than the soldiers who had just landed on Dongwan Island.
Trying hard to maintain the image of a graceful young master, Nangong Hong swallowed secretly, squeezed out a smile and replied: "Achieving great things naturally requires some hard work, right? Master."
He took refuge in Tang Mo, so he naturally wanted to give Tang Mo a title. After asking about it, he naturally chose such a title, which sounded a bit embarrassing to Tang Mo.
"I saw you expanding your troops in Refeng Port. It seems that you have already started to prepare a plan." Even though Nangong Hong was sitting on the sofa, he could still feel his body shaking slightly.
This is the sequelae of drifting at sea for a long time. Even if he is already on land, he will still feel shaken, dizzy, and nauseous...
He had just gotten off the ship and hadn't even had time to take a shower. He still smelled of the sea, mixed with the stench of the oil and sweat from the freewheel.
However, from a spiritual point of view, Nangong Hong was excited because he saw the changes he wanted to see in Refeng Port.
In Bunas, he saw how powerful the Datang Group was, and in Refeng Port, he verified the impact of his strategy on the entire Datang Group.
There he saw that Datang Group was recruiting troops and transporting soldiers one by one to other places.
This means that the Datang Group has begun to prepare for a new war, a war that he proposed to provoke regarding the Datang Group's westward expansion.
"You may need several months to prepare, and then spend millions of gold coins to find a breakthrough on the west coast and build your own bridgehead at the doorstep of Zheng State." He glanced at the map hanging in Tang Mo's office.
He said excitedly.
"So, from your point of view, where should I take as an advance base to attack Zheng Guo?" Tang Mo took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette from it, and held it in his mouth.
inside.
Youlin bent down, handed out the lighter, and lit the flame with a click. Tang Mo leaned over, took a deep breath, and then blew out a stream of white mist gently: "Huh."
When asked about the choking smell of tobacco, Nangong Hong was a little uncomfortable with it, but he had no right to question whether Tang Mo could smoke, so he had to endure it.
After getting used to the smell, he answered Tang Mo's question: "If you follow my opinion, Dongwan Island should be the best choice! First of all, it is huge enough, and secondly, Zheng Guo's operations there
, is actually not strong. In addition, there are two ports, Dongwan City and Fengshun City, which are convenient for transporting troops."
This is a question that he has been thinking about for many years. He carefully studied the coastal areas of Zheng State and believed that the most valuable target there was Dongwan Island, which was large in area and had a large population.
Tang Mo smiled and told Nangonghong a piece of news that frustrated Nangong Hong: "You are very imaginative, but Dongwan Island was occupied by the Mirage a few months ago. Zheng Guo was in the war against the Mirage.
After a major defeat, they had to give up control of Dongwan Island."
Sure enough, Nangong Hong was startled when he heard the news, and then became uneasy for a moment: "The mirage country has occupied Dongwan Island? Then things will be difficult to handle. If Dongwan Island is controlled by the mirage country, then we
Itβs really hard to choose where to go.β
He had come all the way to Bunas before and was unaware of the news that Dongwan Island had changed hands. The Mirage Kingdom and the Zheng Kingdom had already had friction, and in Nangong Hong's view, it was not unusual for the two countries to go to war.
But he never expected that Zheng Guo would ruin it to such an extent that it even lost the important strategic location of Dongwan Island!
"Why?" Tang Mo continued to ask with a smile as he was intent on taking the exam.
"The Mirage Kingdom is different from the Zheng Kingdom. The Zheng Kingdom is corrupt and degenerate, but the Mirage Kingdom has always been very close to the Cyric Consortium and is on the rise. Fighting the Mirage Kingdom on such a distant Dongwan Island is not an easy task.
A sensible thing." Nangong Hong's tone was full of frustration.
"Go on." Tang Mo took a puff of his cigarette, still smiling. You Lin wanted to laugh because of Tang Mo's bad jokes, but he didn't dare to laugh out, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it in.
Nangong Hong on the side no longer cared about appreciating the beauty of a beautiful woman like You Lin. He was thinking about alternative plans, but felt that these plans were almost meaningless: "If the Mirage Kingdom takes over Dongwan Island first, then we
We need to consider choosing a slightly smaller island farther south. However, the islands there are very small and cannot gather troops on a large scale..."
How could he not be depressed and sad? It's like Zhuge Liang heard in Shu that Guan Yu had lost Jingzhou, and it was clear how he felt.
Just when Nangonghong thought he was about to start a business but the middle road collapsed, Tang Mo decided not to torture Nangonghong's nerves anymore. He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. The facts are
When you went to Refeng Port, I had already sent troops to capture Dongwan Island to the west."
"What? You have already started a war with the Mirage Kingdom?" Who knows, Nangong Hong was even more shocked when he heard the news.
According to Nangong Hong's idea, fighting the Mirage Kingdom and fighting the Zheng Kingdom are completely different concepts. The Zheng Kingdom is obviously easier to deal with than the Mirage Kingdom.
He still needs to be cautious when challenging the Mirage Kingdom at sea. This is the experience he has gained over the years, so after he heard that Tang Mo had declared war with the Mirage Kingdom, he became even more nervous.
Tang Mo nodded: "Yes!"
Then, he continued to explain: "My staff came to a conclusion similar to your plan. Prioritizing the capture of the high-value strategic target of Dongwan Island is the key to the success of the subsequent combat plan, so we sent troops decisively.
Occupied it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hiss... So, are you ready to fight a maritime power like Mirage on the sea for a long time?" Nangong Hong knew that things could not be changed, so he just
I can bite the bullet and ask.
In fact, he has already begun to think about how to help Datang Group end this war decently and retain the possibility of continuing to expand and strive for hegemony.
Tang Mo did not continue to tease Nangong Hong, but told the story and ending seriously: "A month ago, we defeated 30,000 Mirage troops on Dongwan Island and severely damaged the Mirage naval fleet.
Surrendered more than ten days ago."
"Ah?" Nangong Hong couldn't believe his ears and was in a daze for a moment.
He has been traveling back and forth between Rewind Port and Bunas these days, so naturally he doesn't know about the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' declaration of war on Mirage.
In addition, he did not know that the Datang Group had pushed Mirage to the ground and rubbed it, let alone that the Datang Group had eaten up all the war dividends.
"Now, Dongwan Island is ours, and I am transporting more troops there. So... you can tell me now, what should we do next if we take Dongwan Island?" Tang Mo
He sank into the sofa, held a cigarette between his fingers, and asked.
"Originally...I originally planned to take five years to seize Dongwan Island, and then use ten years to turn it into an unbreakable forward fortress. But you, it only took less than two months to achieve it.
This strategic goal...I, I don't know what to say anymore." Nangong Hong was still in chaos, and this feeling of happiness coming too fast gave him an unreal feeling.
This is a bit like... just like Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to capture Jingzhou, and Liu Bei captured Chang'an with his backhand. It's a bit fantasy.
After a brief thought, Nangong Hong happily adjusted his emotions: "Now that you have captured Dongwan Island, building it into a fulcrum for advancement is the next top priority."
"We must go north to prevent the mirage from moving south. If the mirage continues to harass the Zheng State, it will make the Zheng people's livelihood miserable, which will be very detrimental to our subsequent development." He talked so eloquently that Tang Mo was very satisfied: "In addition,
...If...I mean if...Maybe I am a little delusional, but if possible, we should seize Zheng State as soon as possible."
"Why?" Nangong Hong said as Tang Mo took the exam.
Nangong Hong is not afraid of the stage either. This is his domain: "The sooner we capture Zheng, the more likely we are to fully capture Zheng's national power. Although Zheng's ruling class is very corrupt, Zheng still has great potential."
.β
"It has a large population. The people have been oppressed for a long time but are hardworking. Once they feel the advancement of Datang Group, they will become your best help on the road to world domination!" The more he talked, the better he got: "In addition,
The State of Zheng borders the Great China Empire, which can help you extend your influence further afield!β
"Third, by quickly capturing the State of Zheng, the State of Chu in the south and the State of Qi in the north will not have a chance to intervene! This is very important and can ensure that we get a complete State of Zheng." Nangong Hong stretched out three fingers and said
He even got a little excited: "My original plan was that after ten years, we could capture the State of Zheng and obtain one-third of the territory of the State of Zheng. It would be considered a success."
Because, Datang Group achieved more than half of the strategic plan he planned to implement in ten years in just two months! As for transforming Dongwan Island into a modern advance base, it is not difficult for Tang Mo.
Therefore, after thinking about the words, he set a higher goal for Tang Mo: "Now... I may be more greedy. With the fighting power of your hundred-battle warrior, master, I definitely have a chance to win half of the battle."
A Zhengguo!"
"Be more confident! I'm going to...take down the entire Zheng Kingdom!" Tang Mo glanced at Nangong Hong and said.
"Huh?" Nangong Hong was stunned.
"It's pretty much what I thought! I will find a way to capture the entire Zheng Kingdom as quickly as possible." Tang Mo emphasized again.
"Huh?" Nangonghong felt that he didn't explain the matter clearly...
