Without a strong army of its own, it simply used capital and connections to drive the war, which ultimately led to Cyric's failure. It was late and slow to react, which ultimately gave Datang Group the opportunity to rise.
Another good example is the Great China Empire. Tang Mo has studied the history of this empire: "The Great China Empire also made great progress in the past, but in the end it became what it is now due to laziness. Do we also have to fight with others? Will the two of them learn from each other and be surpassed by others in the end?"
After the rise of the Great China Empire, it actually hoped to conquer the surrounding countries. As a result, continuous small setbacks made the Great China Empire worry about gains and losses.
In the end, the method of allowing surrounding countries to restrict each other was less expensive and more effective. After playing it a few times, the Great China Empire stopped expanding after getting the benefits it wanted.
As the news that the master of ZTE sent a princess to Shu and then went south was revealed, the last effort of the Great China Empire failed, and history has come to this day.
So when Tang Mo talked about these allusions, the generals who understood the key points became serious. They had been vaguely unable to find the key before, but now Tang Mo pointed out the key, allowing them to understand that sometimes wars must be fought by oneself.
Tang Mo, who was sitting in the first place, continued: "We can't be short-sighted, and we can't always look at the immediate interests. We have to take a long-term view and carefully consider the overall interests."
"We must not be timid because of losses. That is wrong. We must face all challenges and let the enemy see that we are invincible! Although the losses in the proxy war may seem small, the attitude itself has already fallen." His He glanced at his generals. What was gratifying was that these generals did not avert their eyes. Their eyes were still full of desire for victory and determination that Tang Mo could lead them to victory.
In Tang Mo's view, an army that is afraid of war and casualties is already a sign of depravity. If the army does not seek war and does not desire war, then it is the failure of a country's army.
A country's army is like a sharp sword in the hands of a swordsman. The swordsman may not draw the sword, but the sword must be sharp and thirst for blood.
Whether to use a sword or not is the decision of the swordsman, which has nothing to do with the sword itself. In the same way, whether to start a war or not is a country's will, and has nothing to do with the army itself - the army only needs to ensure that it can fight and win. That's it.
In another time and space, the Tang Empire used a large number of mercenaries and foreign legions, which eventually led to frequent wars. The core troops' combat effectiveness collapsed and they were unable to maintain absolute suppression of the border troops. They eventually lost absolute control of the surrounding areas and became inevitable. of decline.
Similarly, lighthouse countries that are keen on fighting proxy wars and believe that money and aid can solve all problems have gradually become supporters of small-scale wars that can only kick kindergartens and punch nursing homes, and have wasted their own powerful industries. Internal force.
There are too many examples like this, because in the short term, mercenary-agent warfare is so fragrant, the cost is low and the results are quick, and it is not your own blood that is shed.
In such a war, the planners do not need to invest anything at all. They only need to stand aside and shout, throwing in a few coins to increase the atmosphere, and the other party will fight on their own, and the two potential opponents will be consumed at the same time.
Therefore, as long as you hold the right to speak, use economic advantages to lure the opponent, and at the same time exert a subtle cultural influence, you can destroy the enemy's spirit and dull the enemy's body. The cost of doing so is too low, and it can be called defeating without a fight. A conquering soldier.
But there is a price for playing this way, and the price is that everyone who has played this way feels that it saves time and effort, and from a book perspective, they make a lot of money.
The first person to do this brings endless pressure to subsequent decision-makers: because the first person achieves the greatest thing at the lowest cost, the later ones will be doubly incompetent if they fail to do so.
Tang Mo didn't want his generals to start working on this, because he didn't want the Tang Empire to end up on the same path as the Lighthouse Kingdom.
He hopes that his troops will always be prepared, always be superior to the armies of other countries, always dare to launch wars, and always be full of blood.
"The hope of using strategy to weaken the enemy is a part of war, but it is not the main part. There is no doubt about this." He defined the efforts to prepare for the war and determined that the means were only necessary steps and did not determine the outcome. The essential.
Tang Mo withdrew his gaze from his general and continued: "The Battle of Fengjiang is just a strategy for the exhausted enemy. It is just a prelude to our annexation of the Dahua Empire. Although the effect is good, its emergence is not inevitable. It is wrong to hope that the enemy will make a mistake first so that we can take advantage of it, and to hope that others will fight first so that we can wait and profit..."
As he spoke, he spread his hands: "Our Tang Dynasty relies on the invincible military power, not those little tricks! It doesn't hurt to eat a few appetizers before the main meal, but there is nothing you can do if the table is filled with pickles and sweets. Eat! I hope you can understand this!"
"No matter whether the enemy makes a mistake or not, we have the ability to defeat the opponent! This is what we must always pursue, always keep in mind, and always hold in our hands!" He clenched his fists and raised his voice.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Marshals Loew, Strauss, and Bolton stood up first, holding their heads high. Other generals also stood up, and slogans echoed throughout the conference room: "Long live my emperor!"
"Go and prepare! Go and prepare for the next war! Go and prepare for all subsequent wars! Go and prepare to build your merits with blood! Go and conquer! Go and save! In order to spread the glory of the Tang Dynasty Empire all over the earth, in order to make the Tang Dynasty The flag of the empire covers the sky!" Tang Mo also stood up and enthusiastically encouraged everyone present.
…
Yingyue discovered that the Emperor of the Tang Empire seemed more interested in work than the wedding she was looking forward to. He has endless work to handle every day, which makes Ying Yue a little uncomfortable.
In her opinion, a country's monarch who is as diligent as her father Yingduo is considered a rare wise monarch, but she found that the emperor of the Tang Empire seemed to be busier.
She actually wanted to meet her future husband before her wedding, but all of her applications for an interview submitted by the princess of Qin had failed.
His Majesty the Emperor seems to always have endless work: he has to deal with a lot of government affairs every day, and he also has to take time to draw and write books. In addition, he has to meet with various ministers, hold various meetings and ad hoc meetings... …
In addition, His Majesty the Emperor also has the habit of eating with his family and ministers. He often leaves the ministers to eat together to discuss issues, so he doesn't even have time to have a meal with Ying Yue.
The most unexpected thing is that His Majesty the Emperor is also a good family man. This surprised Yingyue. She really didn't expect that Tang Mo would take time to play games with her children or check their homework.
He really knows how to look at the children's paintings and graffiti, and also watch their twisted handwriting, listen to their babbling singing, and talk about interesting things about catching crickets in the Forbidden City.
No matter from every aspect, Tang Mo is a good man: Ying Yue is deeply loved by her father, but she has never enjoyed Ying Duo's regular visits and companionship.
An emperor is already busy enough and cannot take care of some small things. People who can surround the emperor are also used to this, and they will not have any complaints about it.
But Tang Mo was different. He really made time to spend with his family. This may be another important reason why the three women in Tang Mo are very harmonious so far.
Today, Ying Yue finally had the opportunity to meet Tang Mo. Tang Mo didn't mean to avoid it. He really didn't have time recently.
The computer technology of the Tang Empire is advancing rapidly. How could this be possible without Tang Mo's support and contribution? Compared with a woman he has never met, Tang Mo is more willing to invest in the research and development of technologies that will affect the future direction of the world.
In addition, the Tang Empire's nuclear technology has reached a critical moment, and it is possible to make that loud noise that silences the world at any time.
Which of these things would you say is not more important than taking the time to meet a woman? Tang Mo always thought so until he met this woman from Qin during dinner time.
Tang Mo was shocked by the beauty of the other party: he had never seen such stunning beauty, which was as full of desire as the delicious food in front of him.
She and Alice are completely different styles of beauty, and she is also different from Leer. How should I put it? Tang Mo looked at Ying Yue in front of him with a sense of familiarity and habit.
Black hair, black eyes... If Tang Mo had married a wife in his previous life, she would have looked like this! She was so perfect, as perfect as those female stars that Tang Mo had nothing in common with in his previous life.
Not those Internet celebrities, nor those unrecognizable plastic surgery faces, but the kind of queens who appeared in movies and TV series many years ago, with the kind of indescribable beauty that is full of temperament.
Frankly speaking, Tang Mo likes such beauty, so this makes Tang Mo, a scumbag, accept the fact that there is no relationship between him and her.
It's a political marriage anyway... Tang Mo thought silently in his heart.
While Tang Mo was looking at Ying Yue, Ying Yue was also looking at Tang Mo. Frankly speaking, the more she looked at Tang Mo, the more satisfied she became: First of all, Tang Mo is very good-looking...
Looks are always there, and the first impression a woman will have on a man must be his appearance. Tang Mo is very handsome, which is a plus point for Ying Yue, and a big... plus point.
