"Dear Lord Nangong, I very much hope to express our hopes to you and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The Binghan Empire and the Yangmu Empire are purely personal grudges. If the Tang Empire has the idea of getting involved in the war, please be sure to Notify our country in advance." As he spoke, the beard on the dwarf ambassador's face trembled.
No matter how arrogant the Binghan Empire is, it is not willing to encounter the Tang Empire, which has absolute technological superiority, in a war. They were afraid that the Tang Empire would be involved in the war, so they immediately stopped trade with the Mirage Kingdom.
Under the order of Binghan I, the Emperor of the Ice Empire, no ship heading to the Mirage Kingdom could leave the port. Therefore, the Tang Navy soon discovered that their mission of breaking the engagement seemed to have no goal.
"If the Tang Empire supports the Yangmu Empire, then we are willing to immediately seek peace with the Yangmu Empire... As long as the Datang Empire is willing, we can give up all the territories currently occupied by the Yangmu Empire and return to the original border between the two countries. We follow the mediation of the Tang Empire, and peace can come at any time." With the Tang Empire's participation in the war, the entire navy of the Mirage Kingdom was annihilated, and the Binghan Empire no longer dared to continue fighting against the Yangmu Empire under the noses of the Tang Kingdom.
They were afraid that if the Tang Empire casually supported some technologies of the Yangmu Empire, the balance of war would tip to those damn elves of the Yangmu Empire.
"The Alliance of Three Emperors is not the relationship you think. Our cooperation in the field of trade is more extensive. The Tang Empire does not have any obligation to change its position militarily for other countries. We are between the Ice Empire and the Yangmu Empire. I... prefer to remain neutral." Nangong Hong had just returned from Fengjiang. He took the tea cup from the secretary's hand with some fatigue and said to the dwarf in front of him.
If it were just him, he would not be willing to receive the dwarf ambassador in such a tired situation, but the Tang Empire needed him to express his position so that the war between the Ice Empire and the Yangmu Empire could continue.
Because the Tang Empire does not give the dwarves a solid guarantee, the dwarves will soon choose to reconcile with the Yangmu Empire, even if they give up some benefits.
During the recent period, Nangong Hong was so busy that he almost vomited blood. At first, he thought that his young body could be squandered casually, but in the end the cruel reality told him that as the foreign minister of the empire, he was no longer young.
Fengjiang is actually under the control of the Tang Empire, and the handover work is really huge and complicated.
This is even more confusing than the exchange of Nanshan Port, because the entire handover process was completed in secrecy. By the time the locals knew that they were already subjects of the Tang Empire, the Imperial Defense Force of the Datang Empire had actually replaced the Tang Empire. The troops of the Chinese Empire.
The same situation also happened in Nanku and Jiange, as well as Guiguang, Shanping, Wanliang, Hezhe and Wasteland.
Although the eight cities are still nominally part of the Great China Empire, they are actually under the control of the Tang Empire.
The management methods of the Tang Empire began to be fully used here. Officials were appointed by the Tang Empire. Even the farmland near Wanliang has been using agricultural machinery and equipment from the Tang Empire.
The first outsider to know that Zhao Yu had sold these places was Zhao Jie. After he woke up one morning, he received a report from his subordinates that the troops in the direction of Guiguang had changed their defenses!
More than 300,000 Chinese troops all left the defense line between Guiguang and Shanchong, and were replaced by the National Defense Forces of the Tang Empire.
At this time, Zhao Jie didn't even have the courage to launch bombardments in the direction of Guiguang. He sent an envoy to Guiguang under a white flag to inquire about the situation.
The reply he received was this: As for the place, it is still nominally a place belonging to the Dahua Empire, but if Zhao Jie himself does not want to drive in the direction of Guiguang and fire such a cannon, it will be the troops of the Tang Empire who will fight back.
The other party has no obligation to explain to him the exchanges between the Tang Empire and Zhao Yu, so Zhao Jie can only interpret this kind of thing as: "The Tang army is helping Zhao Yu defend in the direction of Guiguang. It's best not to cause trouble." Son!"
After Zhao Yu handed over so many cities, it was not without benefits. He had hundreds of thousands more troops stationed in Guiguang and other areas, and he also received a new round of military assistance from the Tang Empire.
After getting a lot of artillery shells, his men lived up to expectations and broke through the Xiqing defense line. Li Mingshun led the troops to retreat near Caili to continue the defense. Only Caili and Ruishu were left in the area controlled by Zhao Ji.
Nangonghong went to Fengjiang this time to work with the chief officials of many departments to completely take over such a large area. As you can imagine, his workload is huge. It can be said that he has not had much rest in the past month or so.
996? Stop making trouble, how can such a good thing happen? Officials like him don't have any holidays. When nothing happens, it may be okay and they can take a few days off. But when something happens, they really have to work for dozens of days continuously.
Hearing what Nangong Hong said, the dwarf ambassador breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Yangmu Empire would give the Tang Empire some benefits, so that the Tang Empire would come forward to suppress the Binghan Empire and force the Binghan Empire to compromise.
Since the Yangmu Empire didn't take action, couldn't the Ice Empire strike first? Thinking of this, the dwarf ambassador became hopeful and asked: "So, is it possible that the Tang Empire is on the side of our Ice Empire?"
"We will not fall to the Yangmu Empire, and we will not fall to the Binghan Empire. We are not interested in the war on the Eastern Continent. This is also in the interests of the Binghan Empire, right?" Nangong Hong smiled and rejected the other party's offer. "invite".
Before the other party could finish digesting this regrettable news, Nangong Hong continued to reassure the other party: "If we show interest in returning to the Eastern Continent, I think you and the Yangmu Empire will really not be able to sleep, right?"
Although Nangong Hong asked a joke, the edge in it really sent shivers down the dwarf ambassador's spine.
Once the Tang Empire really starts to show a very active interest in the war on the Eastern Continent and a very positive attitude...then the Yangmu Empire and the Binghan Empire...may really have to quickly consider shaking hands and making peace.
If a giant dragon like the Tang Empire were really enlarged, then whether it was the bear from the Ice Empire or the eagle from the Poplar Empire, they might both be food for the Tang Empire.
Now, the endless sea that they thought was a natural chasm seems to have become less safe: if the Tang Empire can transport troops to the Mirage Kingdom, it will not be difficult to transport them to the Eastern Continent.
So now various countries, especially those in the Eastern Continent, are desperately trying to purchase new weapons from the Tang Empire.
They all agreed that they should at least upgrade their weapons to a level that could prevent the Tang army from landing across the sea. It's a pity that these people have no idea what the standard of this level is.
The weapons of the past are still in their imaginations, so they can still understand them and have a rough idea of the development direction of the weapons. But now, with the outbreak of the Mirage War, the Tang army's weapons were completely beyond their understanding.
In the past, Tang's firearms were indeed better, but everyone understood what they were. Cyric also has muskets, but Datang Group's guns are better.
In the same way, the cannons of the Tang Empire are higher than others, and the battleships of the Tang Empire are better than others...
These things have existed in the past, or everyone can still understand the principles to some extent: for example, hot air balloons and airships that can fly into the sky, and rocket launchers that can fly towards the enemy on their own.
Although they are very powerful and advanced, everyone can still understand the operation of these things, or at least pretend that I have understood them.
But now, what the Tang Empire is showing has begun to be "unreasonable". The Tang Empire actually had an incredibly accurate weapon that could directly threaten enemy battleships.
The Tang Empire actually has a kind of aircraft that can make the sound of dragon roar and fly in the sky at two or even three times the speed of ordinary aircraft!
Technical personnel from various countries have no idea what kind of technology Datang Group used to create similar weapons.
What is the principle of these weapons? Why does it look like that? What materials are used? ...All of these are questions, questions that no one knows, questions that there is no place to ask.
In fact, before that, when Tang State's radar and other advanced technologies began to spread, no country's technical personnel could keep up with Datang Group's technology research and development ideas.
They were like a group of children learning to talk, with nothing in their minds. They could only absorb the knowledge leaked from the Datang Group. Before they could understand and digest it, the Datang Empire had already come up with something new.
"Are you kidding..." The dwarf ambassador smiled awkwardly and did not dare to continue the topic. He said to Nangong Hong: "Since the Tang Empire strictly adheres to neutrality, we, the Bingbing Empire, very much hope to invest in purchasing more advanced products from your country. Weapons and equipment..."
"It's useless for you to tell me this." Nangong Hong waved his hand, yawned and said: "You have to ask Harry about this matter. We treat them equally. As long as the Imperial Ministry of Defense, the General Staff and His Majesty the Emperor agree to sell it, We will sell weapons to anyone who pays for them.”
This is the external rhetoric of the Datang Empire, or the Datang Group, which has been stated countless times. Many countries do not believe it, but facts have proven that the Datang Group is still very credible in this regard most of the time.
In addition to the advanced weapons used by the Datang Empire for their own use, the weapons sold by the Datang Group to the outside world are indeed well-known... and as they said, they are willing to sell them no matter who pays to buy them.
