In the luxurious hall of the Flame Castle, a woman with fiery red hair was roaring at a group of her men.
The hoarse state of her voice made people see her fear, her weakness, and a trace of unsettling despair.
The woman walked back and forth in front of her seat, her slender and straight legs occasionally flashed through her skirt, and her white skin made people drool.
No matter how you look at it, this is a sexy stunner. It's a pity that everyone knows that this woman can only look up to her.
In the past, this woman was so powerful that even in distant countries, few people dared to call her by her name.
At that time, when she was mentioned in conversation, she would always use "that lord" to refer to her implicitly, but now she is furious about her own safety and incompetence.
Before the full-scale war broke out, she received a telegram from Chang'an. The person who sent the telegram was now a man that many women would dream of dedicating themselves to.
A king who is less than thirty years old, a king who has countless wealth and the most powerful army in the world! Perhaps soon, this man will become an emperor who is less than thirty years old.
This man is different from other emperors. He is a member of the imperial generation who is not older than thirty years old. He is not comparable to those emperors who inherited the empire.
If there was a chance, she still wanted to meet Tang Mo. She was really curious about what that man looked like. She heard that he was so handsome that many women flocked to him.
It's a pity that His Majesty the King of the Tang Dynasty was unwilling to take pictures...the topic went off the rails. When the war broke out, His Majesty the King sent her a telegram, a telegram full of threats.
The telegram was very short, just telling her that things would not be settled easily this time. Although it seemed useless at the time, as the war situation continued to change, that seemingly innocuous threat became more and more important.
Like a sword of Damocles hanging above his head.
Of course, she didn't know about the Sword of Damocles, but that didn't affect her empathy at all.
That's why there was a meeting like today. The content of the meeting was not much. Even in the Tang Dynasty, such a meeting could not be called an effective meeting.
In this kind of meeting, only the person who held the meeting kept yelling, and most of the people were just listeners, just listeners who pretended to be deaf and dumb and had no sense of participation.
The woman walked around there, venting her dissatisfaction in her pleasant voice as she walked: "They haven't used the paratroopers who dropped from the sky yet! Hundreds of planes haven't joined the battle yet! That's not what we produced.
That kind of junk! It’s a metal skin, a real airplane!”
She was dissatisfied with the incompetence of her men and the poor performance of the Cyric Consortium as a whole throughout the war.
The consortium used its influence to bring so many empires together, but so many empires could not win a single victory.
This really goes beyond Cyric's previous experience of stirring up troubles. In the past, if Cyric wanted to determine the fate of a country, he might have done it by buying off a few ministers.
Worst of all, as long as they really use Cyric's influence, a war will break out, and the winner will be easily determined between the several kingdoms.
But now the scale and form of the war are completely beyond Cyric's control. A war can no longer be decided by the life and death of thousands of people. The number of troops participating in the war easily exceeds one million!
What determines victory or defeat is not even the troops participating in the war on the front line, but the chimneys that keep smoking in the rear, the farmland that can't be seen at a glance, and the neon lights that keep flashing in the streets and alleys!
When the annual revenue of a bustling street exceeds the annual tax revenue of a kingdom in the past, how could the scale of the war not become terrifying?
In the past, it was reasonable to launch a large-scale battle involving thousands of people for a few thousand gold coins, but now, what is so strange about mobilizing millions of people to fight for the ownership of hundreds of millions of gold coins...
Looking at the most powerful talker of Cyric walking around, a person in charge lowered his head and explained: "Sir, we know, but the Dahua Empire has tried its best, and they still have hundreds of thousands of people here.
We are struggling in the encirclement, whether we can hold the Zangjian Gorge is a question."
The woman shook her head, and the red hair on her head bounced: "So far, the navy has stood still! Do you dare to say that you have tried your best?"
A military advisor immediately came out, bowed his head and continued to explain: "The navy's combined fleet is still hiding in the north of the Mirage Country. It is not a shipping route, so almost no ships pass by! If the fleet acts rashly, then our only hope of making a comeback will be gone!
"
In their view, the woman in front of them was just a businessman, a wealthy layman. She didn't understand anything and was just venting her emotions.
But she is the leader after all, a woman who knows nothing. She interrupted her explanation and continued to roar: "That is not the hope of a comeback! War! This is war! We must win the war!"
"If we don't invest all our strength! Wait until we lose this war! Then the Tang Kingdom will rise! That bastard Tang Mo will destroy everything!" Sophia was not willing to give in. She really was not willing to do anything without trying her best.
She lost this war that was related to her fate in a daze.
It's just that she is not the emperor of the world, and there is no way for the empires participating in the war to get involved in this war at all costs.
It is absolutely impossible for those battleship fleets that have devoted their efforts to various empires to carry out Sophia's orders at any cost. Especially orders where the outcome is unknown and the outcome is uncertain!
Before the submarine force of the Tang Kingdom appeared, these battleships equipped with anti-aircraft guns and a large number of cruiser formations dared to break into the dragon's den and the tiger's den of Dragon Island.
But now everyone is worried that Tang State has deployed a large number of submarines on Long Island, and the fleet will suffer heavy losses if it approaches.
Who dares to issue such an order? Who dares to execute similar orders? If these expensive battleships sink... then wouldn't it become a joke that all the navies of all countries have tried their best to develop in the past two years?
"Sir, with all due respect, the Tang Dynasty has risen!" A director sitting next to him sighed, and at this time, he added something faintly.
These directors are not Sophia's subordinates, they are just siding with Sophia due to pressure or interests.
In the past, every director was a terrifying existence with extremely rich wealth, but now they find out more and more helplessly that when it comes to the speed of making money, they, their father, and their grandfathers and ancestors are tied to each other.
At the same time, he is no match for Tang Mo.
In just ten years, Tang Mo went from being the heir to a little-known blacksmith shop to the powerful man he is today who uses gold to build palaces...
What makes people desperate is that what this rich bastard is doing now is to overturn the table: he is destroying the foundation of all countries and trying to establish a new social order!
Sophia slammed the table angrily and emphasized to the director: "That's why we have to destroy him! Kill Tang Mo! Destroy the Tang Kingdom! Only in this way can the world survive!"
"The northern plains of the Chu State have changed hands, and the southern oil fields of Dahua have also been occupied by the Tang State. They are intact. Although they are only one-sided words from the Tang State, the exact news will be sent back soon." The military adviser said helplessly.
He stood by the map and explained the situation on the battlefield to everyone.
Most of the people sitting here are actually businessmen. They are good at giving bribes or selling weapons, but they don't understand war and the changes that are taking place.
In fact, it's not their fault, because in the past, as long as they pushed things to the stage of war, the rest of the matter was out of their control.
There are specialties in the art industry. What they need to consider is who to sell the arms to, and there is no need to consider such issues as who will win and who will lose.
Anyway, from their point of view, it doesn't matter who wins, because the person who wins also buys their weapons, so it doesn't matter at all.
But things are different now. There is no longer just Cyric selling weapons in this world. What makes them fear and despair is that another new person who sells weapons has joined in. The weapons in his hands seem to be more advanced than Cyric's.
.
"If everything the Tang State publicized is true, then the Great China Empire has actually lost this war..." He said while making a few gestures on the map.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to see that the directors, including Sophia, had unfriendly eyes, so he continued to add: "Now the only thing we can count on is the Qin army, but can these Qin armies be able to withstand it?"
No one knows about Tang's attack."
"What I want is not to withstand Tang's attack! What I want is a counterattack! Counterattack! Retake the southern oil fields and win this war!" Sophia became even more angry after hearing what the consultant said, and raised her voice and shouted loudly.
.
"It's impossible, Lord Sophia, it's impossible. More than ten war advisers who have contact with us, including our people who graduated from Datang Military Academy, all think that this war is over." Someone was helpless.
said.
Some people on the other side shook their heads: "If we can send troops from the Chu State before the Chu State is defeated and cut off the Tang Army that rushes into the southern oil fields, then there is still a glimmer of hope to turn defeat into victory. But now the northern plain of the Chu State has been lost, and the attack
The bridgehead is already in the hands of the Tang State."
"Besides, Chu State really does not have the ability to counterattack the Tang army. Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern part of Chu State, these troops are probably not enough to kill Strauss when they come out of the mountainous area." The consultant standing next to the map took advantage of this.
Since there were many people, I quickly expressed my opinion.
When Sophia heard this, she became even more angry. She bit her back teeth and squeezed out her anger: "Strauss...Redman...Tiger...Why, why are there so many famous generals in Tang Dynasty?"
