"Tap, tap, tap, tap..." The high heels stepped on the floor tiles in the long corridor and walked to a door.
It wasn't often that You Lin came to deliver documents to Tang Mo in person, because she also had many things to be busy with. As the beloved concubine of this kingdom, her power is no less powerful than that of a minister in a department.
The door was gently pushed open, and Tang Mo was sitting behind his desk, carefully sketching a huge drawing. This drawing looks extremely complicated, with several layers of design inside and out, and it is round and round like a fat man.
"When can you put down your drawing pen and take a break?" You Lin couldn't help complaining as he looked at the compasses and various rulers scattered on Tang Mo's drawings.
"I don't want to either, but if I don't hold something in my hand first, I always feel unsettled when sleeping." Tang Mo put down his pen with a smile and said to You Lin, "Why are you here?"
"Sisters and sisters are all worried about your health, so they asked me to come and see you." You Lin handed the document to Tang Mo: "It happened that someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent this, so I stopped by to get it for you. "
She glanced at the drawing and found that it was different from what she understood, so she asked curiously: "What is this? You were never taught this in school back then."
"Huh? It? Peace." Tang Mo replied without raising his head: "With this, the world will usher in peace."
"This is not good news. We are almost the largest and most profitable arms dealer in the world." You Lin joked.
Tang Mo was still looking at the document in his hand: "I'm talking about the Tang State. With this, the Tang State can continue to be peaceful. As for other countries, how can they stop the war? They will continue to fight until the end of the world. .”
"As old as time, such an elegant adjective, it's a pity that you used it here." You Lin smiled.
He threw the document in his hand on the drawing and stretched casually: "Tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that next time they just throw this kind of protest document into the trash can, there is no need to send it to me for inspection."
"Several countries protested that we attacked their fleet. They believed that since the two sides have launched peace negotiations, they should exercise restraint." You Lin walked behind Tang Mo and squeezed Tang Mo's shoulders.
Tang Mo closed his eyes and enjoyed it comfortably, and replied lazily: "That's their idea. As long as they don't sign the peace agreement, the war will not end!"
"They signed it, but now we haven't signed it." You Lin was quite satisfied with his man. Everything Tang Mo did made this woman who regarded him as an idol proud.
Although they are already an old couple and even have a child, she still feels that the man leaning on her chest is the best one in the world.
"Well, since there is nothing left to take advantage of, let's let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs bring the peace. It's not a problem to delay. The important thing is to restore order. Only in this way can everyone make better money, right?" Tang Mo enjoyed it. With the intensity of You Lin's massage, he felt that most of the fatigue in his body had receded.
He gently raised his hand, and Youlin stopped kneading it: "Go and do your work. Your department also has a lot of work."
"Le'er asked me to bring you a message when I came here. She said she misses you very much." You Lin let go of his hands and said to Tang Mo as he walked towards the door.
"I also want to spend more time with you and those two little bastards. It's a pity that I can't relax now." Tang Mo lowered his head, swept the protest documents from other countries to the floor, and leaned over. He continued to outline the lines on the drawing.
You Lin bowed slightly, and then closed the door for Tang Mo herself. She stood at the door and thought for a few seconds, then turned around and walked towards the way she came.
As a woman, she actually doesn't like Alice and Le'er very much. But as the three of them get along, she is gradually accepting some things.
To be honest, the three women are all smart people. They all know that a fire in the backyard will only cause trouble for Tang Mo and themselves. So they all maturely chose to accept reality, even the most naive Leer.
The construction of the new palace of the Tang Dynasty has resumed. In the past few days, about a hundred people have started working again. They are repairing a row of buildings. The red bricks and blue tiles look very festive.
As the victory of the war approaches, the atmosphere in Tang Dynasty is very relaxed, disaster relief and pensions are being carried out in an orderly manner, and the construction of roads and infrastructure seems to be on the right track again.
The battle situation on the front line is very optimistic. The Tang army has completely surrounded Fengjiang and severely damaged the combined fleet in the northern waters.
Two submarines launched a surprise attack on the entire fleet. Four enemy battleships were seriously damaged, four cruisers were sunk, and the rest were scattered.
Including at sea, the Tang army has achieved a comprehensive victory, and the anti-Tang alliance has no chance of coming back. Some countries have even begun to withdraw from the war.
The Susas Empire was the first to submit a peace treaty with the Tang State. At the same time, the Lines Empire, which suffered the heaviest naval losses, also paid the indemnity honestly.
The most interesting thing is Chu State. The king of Chu State directly submitted his credentials to Tang State and officially announced that he had become a "permanent vassal state" of Tang State.
This is not a name that can be acknowledged casually. It is something that must be sorted out with the previous suzerain country before it can be announced to the outside world.
Obviously, Chu State has determined that the Great China Empire has no energy to pursue its disloyalty and unfilial piety. After submitting the credentials of the vassal state, Chu State announced that it recognized Tang State's legal occupation of the northern plains of Chu State, which was regarded as fulfilling the role of a filial son.
The King of Chu had brought the matter to this point, kneeling so thoroughly that it was difficult for the Tang State to make any further demands.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Even if it is to set an example to other countries, the Tang State's foreign affairs department feels that it should not embarrass this filial "horse bone" anymore.
On the other hand, it was also because the diplomats of the Tang State had little experience and little knowledge. They never thought that one day they would be so arrogant in recognizing a godson...
This vassal state of Chu is not for nothing, and it is not just a matter of accepting it as a father. According to the treaty, Chu State will provide Tang State with 13 million tons of oil every year in the future. This value is the current amount of Chu State. More than four times the oil production capacity!
Yes, you read that right. Chu State's current annual oil production is about 3 million tons, and in the future, it must provide Tang State with 13 million tons of oil every year as... filial piety.
Of course, this requires a process, that is, Tang State's oil companies must help Chu State increase its annual oil production to 25 million tons.
In other words, Tang State first used technology to help Chu State improve its oil extraction capabilities and increase Chu State's oil production capacity. Almost half of the increased production capacity would be paid to Tang State, and Chu State would keep and divide the remaining half.
In addition, Chu State also needs to fully open its market to Tang State, allowing Tang State to invest in Chu State's grain, electricity, roads, real estate, medical and other fields, and allowing Tang people to set up factories and schools in Chu State territory.
Chu State guarantees that only the most basic taxes and fees will be levied on all Tang businessmen who invest in Chu State, and Tang State will also enjoy most-favored-nation treatment for import and export fees. This series of conditions is simply more humiliating and humiliating than the treaty signed by the Qing government.
The Chu State used this compromise in exchange for a guarantee from the Tang State: if Chu State was invaded by other countries, the Tang State would send troops to protect it, and the Tang State must agree to maintain the Chu royal family's legal jurisdiction over the Chu State's territory.
After much deliberation, the Tang State agreed to this request of the Chu State, so the Chu State became a vassal of the Tang State and a complete younger brother of the Tang State.
As a result, the fighting in the south has completely stopped. All Chu's guerrillas have retreated back to their mountainous areas. Strauss's troops no longer have to carry weapons while building roads at the foot of the mountains.
After hearing about this series of good news, businessmen from the southern region immediately crossed the border with technology and capital.
With the Tang ID card as a talisman, they could travel unimpeded in the Chu area and were even more arrogant than the local minor nobles.
The nobles of the Chu State were not fools. They immediately followed suit and drove their carriages with their children and children back to the original northern plains of the Chu State, which is now the southern region of the Tang State.
They used their savings to purchase land here, curry favor with the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and worked hard to integrate into society, running in the opposite direction.
They would rather be peace dogs than people in troubled times. These Chu nobles are no longer willing to stay in Chu and live a precarious and thrilling life. They preferred to stay in Tang State and enjoy their own glory and wealth here.
Anyway, making dirty money in Chu and spending it in Tang has become a new fashion among the Chu aristocrats. They are trying to turn themselves into Tang people, but it will take some time.
Not everyone who comes to Tang State can obtain a Tang State ID card. At one time, the ID card of the Tang State was the best identification certificate in the world, because the refugee slaves who were bought into the Tang State would all receive their own identity certificates.
But with the victory of this war, Tang State seems to be tightening the scale of naturalization-Tang State already has a large enough population, and it now needs time to digest the land it has annexed within a few years.
Compared to the southern part of the Tang State, where the war had completely ceased, the war in the western part of the Tang State was still raging.
After the Tang army surrounded Fengjiang City, they immediately launched a new round of attacks on the Dahua army. In the end, they drove the troops closest to Fengjiang 20 kilometers away.
The whole world is watching here, waiting for this war to come to an end here. However, neither the Great China Empire, which was doomed to fail, nor the Tang Kingdom, which was already victorious, seemed to want the war here to stop.
