"Of course I'm not afraid! Because we can still make money! Although the cost is not low, compared with controlling the financial economy of a region, we have made a lot of money!" Tang Mo said with a smile: "As long as I can control the financial system of this region, Currency doesn’t care who is the emperor here.”
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Lin Hai swaying slightly in the wind outside. He felt as good as ever.
Just now, he had heard the news that the Northern Dwarf Empire had been swallowed up by the Ice Kingdom. The emperor died suddenly, and the Northern Dwarfs had a vague tendency to unify.
His banknotes will serve as the new official currency of the Ice Empire and will be issued and circulated in the areas controlled by the Ice Empire.
This is exciting news. It means that Datang Group's banknote system can now be circulated in about one-fifth of the world.
It includes the Lions Empire area, the Dorne Kingdom area, Susas, Pinewood, and the Poplar Kingdom area. Now the Ice Empire area and part of the Nanla Empire area will be added.
The fact that self-printed banknotes can be circulated in so many areas speaks volumes in itself.
As long as he continues this expansion, the day will not be far away when his paper money covers the entire world.
His Majesty, the Emperor of the Bingbing Kingdom, or the future Bingbing Empire, was very satisfied with the cooperation of the Datang Group. He even sent a group of noble young people and arranged for them to study in the artillery command school under the Datang Group. .
Unlike the Datang Military Academy, the grade of this artillery command school is obviously much lower. It was established to quickly cultivate current application talents in batches.
All countries, as long as they have a good relationship with the Datang Group, will select their children and recruit volunteers to study in various schools in Bunas or even Dragon City.
Types of study include management, financial economics, science and technology, and of course military.
The Empire of Lains, the Kingdom of Dorne and the Kingdom of Sussus even regularly send selected outstanding young people to study in various schools in Bunas.
As for how many of these students will be able to return to their hometowns after completing their studies, only God knows.
But it doesn't matter. For the people in power in these areas, as long as one of them is willing to go back and be loyal to them, that is an extra gain for them.
Because according to the regulations of Datang Group, all students who have completed their studies and graduated from schools affiliated to Datang Group will not be allocated a quota as long as they voluntarily return to China.
In other words, if the total number of graduates originally scheduled to be recruited by the Kingdom of Susas is 20, after recruiting 20 graduates, if there are still people who are willing to go to Susas, they are specifically allowed.
This means that if there are two more students who are willing to return to China, 22 graduates will return to China!
For a kingdom or empire that is in urgent need of reform talents and has realized the important role of such talents, every additional graduate is a great wealth!
Who doesn’t want a genius who can change the fate of their country to suddenly appear in their country at a critical moment? Just like Donne, who suddenly had two famous generals, Burton and Strauss, wouldn't it be nice?
What's more, everyone knows that those ruthless people from Datang Military Academy, as long as there is no civil war among their classmates, they will definitely win when they fight against the commanders of other kingdoms!
These young people who have just graduated are like mass-produced war machines. Although they are a little immature in terms of experience, they are really easy to use!
They are familiar with the army's logistical supplies and are good at calculations. What they are best at is comparing wars with paper data.
Students graduating from Datang Military Academy focus on building a complete national mobilization system, attach great importance to training and exercises, and are very keen on maintaining the status of the troops.
Then, after highlighting the combat effectiveness of the army, the role of the individual commander is diminished. These graduates will then focus on logistics support.
This somewhat rigid process allowed the winner to be decided before the war broke out. It is hard to imagine that a troop that eats rice and flour every day, fires dozens or even hundreds of rounds of ammunition every day during training, and possesses excellent weapons will have any problems when facing a group of enemies who are like beggars.
For those so-called famous generals, only direct descendants of their troops can achieve such intensity of training, and those miscellaneous soldiers who make up the numbers are simply not enough.
Modern army training and mobilization of the command system make it easy to crush opponents who are lagging behind in all aspects.
Therefore, in the Datang Military Academy, the God of War can be copied. Perhaps the students here cannot perform on the battlefield as artistically and passionately as Rommel, but they can ensure that everyone is as steady as an old dog like Marshall.
In the academy and in the command class, the dogma that everyone agrees with most is that the logistics and supplies can keep up, the artillery tubes are enough, the soldiers are well-trained on weekdays, and you can win if you push it flatly!
As for the big detours, big interludes, and big sieges, those are just the icing on the cake if the talent allows. It doesn't matter if they are there or not.
Fight the war with a stronghold, give full play to the advantages of weapons, improve the quality of the troops, and increase the strength of the troops. This is the guarantee of victory!
Those stories about how a small number of people defeated a large number on the battlefield are all fairy tales. Don’t listen to them and don’t believe them!
Those so-called battle examples in which 40,000 troops defeated an opponent of 100,000, and 8,000 cavalry penetrated the enemy's army of 200,000 troops, actually confirmed the truth of using the strong to attack the weak, and using the large to defeat the small.
In the eyes of the teachers and students of Datang Military Academy, those no-name trash with insufficient training and insufficient firepower are just chickens and dogs no matter how many there are.
Only armies that have undergone rigorous training, complete logistical support, and possess powerful weapons can be counted as real "numbers."
Therefore, in their eyes, the seniors who graduated from them, thousands of them defeated tens of thousands of enemies, are all "basic, don't be six, just sit down"...
"Master! Over there in the vault, today's storage has been completed." Leo walked in, stood next to Roger, and reported the report without hesitation.
He knew that Tang Mo trusted Roger, and Roger's identity was more like Tang Mo's relative than his subordinate. It's just that Roger knew how to advance and retreat, and never regarded himself as Tang Mo's elder.
"Ten tons?" Tang Mo really didn't mean to avoid it and asked with a smile.
"Yes! Ten tons!" Leo nodded slightly.
To be honest, Leo didn't even know the complete internal structure of that vault. He only visited it once and knew that it might be the place with the most complete defense facilities in the world.
I heard that the thickness of the cement wall is more than 2 meters, and there are sentries around it. In order to ensure the absolute safety there, a terrifying number of machine guns are deployed.
The last time Leo went in, there was only 100 tons of gold inside, but just 100 tons of gold was enough to make Leo's legs tremble.
That was really the most gold he had ever seen in his life! Gold bars are neatly stacked in the room, each weighing 5 kilograms!
Every entry must be followed by specialized personnel, and every entry and exit must be strictly inspected. Everyone who is qualified to enter there is an outstanding person who has made meritorious service and shed blood within the Datang Group for three generations.
This underground facility is huge and took many workers to build. It is hollowed out along the mountain, just under Tang Mo's castle.
It basically served as Tang Mo's safety bunker, so the specifications were quite high. Cars could even pass inside, and the thickness of the steel gate was more than 20 centimeters.
Yes, obviously from today's perspective on earth, the security measures here are pitifully low, but in this world, there are really not many weapons that can blast through 20 cm thick steel plates!
If someone really pulls the 150mm naval gun from the Wolf-class battleship of the Datang Group's security force to blast this gate, then there is nothing Tang Mo can do...
Nowadays, the world's first super vault has accumulated more than 420 tons of pure gold. It is no exaggeration to describe it as being extremely wealthy.
Real gold! Golden! Once you take one look at it, you can’t help but take a second look, it’s real gold!
With this warehouse, Tang Mo's large transactions have become easier and safer, because many forces have huge sums of money in Tang Mo's Datang Bank, so transactions only need to directly change the paper data.
Once the account is cleared at the end of the month, both parties stamp and sign, and a transaction of hundreds of thousands of gold coins is easily completed. This is so convenient!
Of course, convenience comes at a price. There is no interest in storing gold here in Tang Mo. After all, Tang Mo still has the final say in banks in this era.
The interest thing can enter the market a little later, and after entering the market, it will be used to attract savings from ordinary people.
As for the gold reserves at the national level, have you heard that there is interest? Our country has hundreds of thousands of tons of gold stored in the Federal Reserve's vault. If we have to pay interest on this, the United States will go bankrupt in less than a year.
"If we complete the transportation and transport all the gold in Bunas here, plus the subsequent income, by the end of this year, the gold reserves in our vault will reach an astonishing 1,000 tons!" Leo said proudly.
He had never seen anyone with such a talent for making money. When he saw the 100 tons of gold, he almost cried.
At that moment, he burst into tears in his heart. If he had such a powerful backer and so much money, he probably wouldn't have become a criminal and been exiled overseas if he slapped the imperial officials in the face.
"So many?" Roger was shocked by this number. More than three years ago, less than four years ago, he and Tang Mo were still worrying about hundreds of gold coins and running a small workshop.
Now, under their feet, there is a real mountain of gold!
real!
Jinshan!
