"It doesn't matter. I understand the difficulties of the Wright Kingdom very well. After all, the account book is still with me." Tang Mo comforted the special envoy of the Wright Kingdom who came over.
The special envoy was very embarrassed because he probably knew how much money the Wright Kingdom owed the Datang Group...
In the past, the Wright Kingdom might not have been sold for such a large sum of money! But now, Wright VII actually lent such an astonishing amount of money.
Frankly speaking, if Datang Group really asked the Wright Kingdom to pay back the money, almost everyone in the Wright Kingdom would have to sell themselves to repay the debt.
On the other side, Harry was already signing contracts with people from other kingdoms. Although the Kingdom of Galles established by the orcs was poor, it also purchased an astonishing 10 airships.
Of course Tang Mo could see that what the orc prince had been thinking about all along was revenge against the elves! With these airships, they can set off from the Seine Plain and directly bomb the royal city of the Poplar Kingdom, or attack the Nanshui Port.
Of course, all this must be deduced on the premise that the ground defense can withstand the revenge of the elves, otherwise the Kingdom of Galles is likely to be destroyed by the elves again.
Surprisingly, the special envoys from the Mirage Kingdom who came together were also planning to buy some airships - they were quite interesting. Although they had no money, they were very determined.
Because he had broken his guard and agreed to sell people to repay the debt, this time the Mirage envoy was very single: he agreed to sell some more slaves, and took out a silver mine as collateral, hoping to buy 15 airships.
Other kingdoms that had previously thought that Tang Mo would not agree to sell advanced weapons to the Mirage Kingdom once again learned what it means to be a qualified arms dealer.
Without thinking, Datang Group agreed to the request of the Mirage people, and even stated that if the Mirage people were willing to increase their money, Datang Group was willing to provide spot goods!
When all the countries signed the contract and were eager to pay for it, and then found an unlucky neighboring country to test the combat effectiveness of the airship, Tang Mo took everyone to see some of his other weapons.
"I am a peace-loving person." Tang Mo stood in front of the latest anti-aircraft gun and introduced his carefully prepared shield to everyone: "So, I don't want offensive types that cannot be defended to appear on the battlefield. arms."
"I have prepared an anti-aircraft gun for everyone to defend against air attacks. This type of anti-aircraft gun has a higher chamber pressure and a straighter trajectory, and can shoot the shells higher into the sky." Tang Mo spoke eloquently while pointing to the A 76.2 mm cannon said: "With this weapon, important cities can be protected from enemy airship attacks..."
What Tang Mo launched was a 13-pounder gun widely used by the British army in World War I. The caliber of this artillery is 76.2 mm, and the shooting height is about 8,000 meters.
This artillery can use a timed fuse and can explode at a preset height to form a fragmentation kill zone for air defense operations.
Of course, Tang Mo did not provide such advanced ammunition, because this weapon now only has one purpose: to shoot down those huge, slow bombing airships!
"..." Seeing this anti-aircraft weapon and having signed the contract, the envoys from various countries felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
They are crazy about purchasing weapons like airships. What they value is that this weapon can come and go freely over the enemy without being threatened at all.
But if they had learned before that this kind of weapon had a nemesis, then who among them would be willing to spend nearly 300,000 gold coins to buy such an expensive decoration?
If no one buys airships, will all the anti-aircraft guns be saved? This is totally causing trouble for yourself, isn't it?
Then everyone seemed to understand the key to this kind of thing: there will always be people who pay for airships, so naturally everyone has to buy anti-aircraft guns.
"I didn't cheat everyone's money! I was even thinking about everyone!" Tang Mo didn't panic at all and started to explain directly: "Imagine, if there is a weapon that cannot be defended, then the war will become a What does it look like?”
"Everyone sends their own airship troops to destroy the city...Apart from everyone losing the industrial city they have worked so hard to build, what other benefits are there?" He smiled, and then continued: "So, having defensive means , it will make opponents more cautious when using airships!”
"You only need to buy some airships to force your opponents to purchase anti-aircraft guns, which in turn will weaken the opponent's funds to purchase airships!" Tang Mo kept talking, which also made the envoys who bought the airships think: "Similarly The truth is, as long as you are equipped with anti-aircraft guns, your opponent's airships will be worried about losses and dare not drive straight in, and there will not be a terrifying scene of hundreds of airships descending on the royal city!"
"Gentlemen! Airships with anti-aircraft guns are not useless! As long as the tactics are appropriate and commanders use these airships rationally, it is possible to win by surprise and destroy the opponent's industrial potential!" He then continued. : "For the same reason, as long as the defense is good, you can ensure the safety of your industrial base! This is war!"
"Of course, you can return the airship you bought, or choose not to buy my anti-aircraft guns at the same time..." After finishing speaking, he paused, as if waiting for these envoys to make their own decisions. choose.
"If, we...can give up the contract to purchase airships together, and then sign a convention prohibiting the use of airships..." The envoy of the Nanla Empire looked at the envoy of the Wright Kingdom and whispered.
"It's a way, so that we can all save millions of gold coins..." Special Envoy Wright thought this was a good way to save money.
Dorn's envoy looked at the Susas envoy on the side, who shook his head in embarrassment.
Soon, loopholes appeared in the unbreakable alliance. The special envoy of the Yangmu Kingdom asked a very pointed question: It’s not that there will be no weapons like bombing airships in the world if they don’t buy them.
Datang Group itself is the manufacturer and user of airships. It now has hundreds of such offensive weapons. No one wants to buy such weapons. Who can guarantee that Datang Group will not use these weapons?
As a result, all the envoys looked at Tang Mo who was standing there, as if hoping to hear a promise from Tang Mo: not to use airships to attack other countries.
But after a few seconds, they realized that this was impossible. Cooperation was illusory. The safest way was for everyone to pay and divide the spot airships in Tang Mo's hands. This was the safest way.
Suppose that everyone insists on not buying airships and saves money on anti-aircraft guns - the result is that no one knows whether one country will have the wrong idea first!
If a country breaks its promise and secretly asks Datang Group for a loan to purchase 100 or more airships, and then suddenly declares war on its neighboring country, the other country will not have time to take any countermeasures.
At that time, the overwhelming airship bombing will destroy the opponent's city, and the outcome on the ground can be imagined. The winner can use the dividends to repay the loan, and the loser will have nothing left! This can almost be said to be a victory that can be obtained without paying any price, and it is a huge temptation for anyone!
Just imagine, if the Kingdom of Light did this, it would be possible to win the war and swallow up Dorne or Susus within a few days! Who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen?
Therefore, for the safety of everyone, and in order not to pin your own safety on the honesty and trustworthiness of others, paying... seems to be a better choice.
Soon, everyone honestly chose to retain the previous purchase agreement, and then began to inquire about the price of the anti-aircraft gun.
Everyone was talking to each other, but they didn't seem to care that they seemed to be cheated by the Datang Group. Instead, they were more active in sending their money to the Datang Group.
No one wants their royal city or industrial city to run naked in front of an airship, so the anti-aircraft gun purchase contract was drafted very smoothly.
Because no one had that much money to purchase enough anti-aircraft artillery to cover their own territory, envoys from various countries soon realized that the airship attack still had a chance to succeed.
You only need to choose a good time, avoid the opponent's key defenses, and then launch a surprise attack to achieve the strategic goal.
No one has revealed another safe time for the airship to attack: night! As long as you choose the right time and cut into the position where the enemy's anti-aircraft guns are stationed at night, you can use the darkness to cover yourself and achieve bombing results!
In short, there is no such thing as rubbish weapons, only rubbish users. This is something that everyone agrees on.
Another consensus is to spend money: they purchased more than 1,000 anti-aircraft guns from Datang Group, and then each added a special caliber to their own arsenal!
Tang Mo used two weapons to put almost all the dividends of this war back into his own pocket, and even plundered the bones and marrow from various countries.
The most direct benefit that this arms trade brought to Tang Mo was that due to financial constraints, various countries began to accept Tang Mo's conditions and began to use Datang Group's banknotes in some areas.
Convenient banknotes gradually began to replace heavy gold coins and began to be accepted in many areas. This seems to have a greater impact than Datang Group’s sales of weapons.
Tang Mo knew very well that this subtle influence would become bigger and bigger. With the blessing of currency issuance rights, Datang Group's financial nuclear bomb was already powerful enough to destroy the world.
A few hours later, the weapons sale ended. Nine countries divided up almost all the airships in Tang Mo's hands, and also bought up all the anti-aircraft guns.
After that, Tang Mo saw off these special envoys. Before he could rest, You Lin brought the news he had been waiting for.
Nangonghong, who had not even sat down in Refeng Port, had returned to Bunas with the ship.
