Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 18 18 Confidentiality
When Tang Mo saw Tiger again, the officer in bright yellow uniform lowered his head shyly, and admitted his mistake: "I have to admit, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry, Tang Mo Master Mo, I am here to apologize to you."

He is the confidant of Earl Fischero, so he has been monitoring Tang Mo's every move from the perspective of Lord Fischero.

It was a technology he didn't understand at all before, so even if he doubted Tang Mo's behavior, he had no good way to deal with Tang Mo.

Now, when he saw with his own eyes that the huge machine made by Tang Mo could actually replace manpower to drill the barrel of a gun, he knew that he had misunderstood this young weapons manufacturer.

Tang Mo smiled and waved his hands, expressing that he didn't care: "It's nothing, you are just being loyal to your duty."

In fact, he really liked the soldier in front of him. He was loyal and honest, and he was simply a perfect subordinate.

It's a pity that this subordinate belongs to Earl Fischero, he can only appreciate it, but cannot own it.However, Tang Mo still firmly believed that one day he would have a group of subordinates who were as loyal as Tiger.

Tiger looked at Tang Mo's smile, nodded slightly, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, my lord, I think with such...such a great machine, you can definitely fulfill your promise to the Earl."

The steam engine that is running non-stop has already driven two machine tools, and these two machine tools have drilled two qualified gun barrels in the past day.

You know, this is still just an experimental stage. If this machine is fully fired, it is estimated that ten barrels can be produced a day.

But the problem is not without it, that is, the previously estimated smoke emission was wrong, and the chimney was repaired too short in a hurry, which resulted in a strong smell of coking coal smoke throughout the factory.

Tang Mo pointed to the steam engine that was still working not far away, and said to Tiger: "Yes, I plan to continue to manufacture this kind of machinery in the next half a month, and then start producing the Earl. Weapons needed."

Tiger was taken aback, because he thought that after Tang Mo produced this machine, he would start building the weapons the Earl needed tomorrow.

According to Tang Mo, he will continue to produce similar machines before producing the weapons and equipment that the Earl needs.

Such a result made him want to say something, but looking at Tang Mo's face, he opened his mouth but agreed in a strange way: "That's really great."

"I hope everything goes well." Seeing that Tiger didn't make irresponsible remarks about his production plan, Tang Mo smiled even more intensely.

He put Tiger's shoulders on his shoulders, and said persuasively, "I hope you can help me with some things, Tiger."

"I will do my best." Tiger was taken aback, then nodded, supporting Tang Mo.For him, supporting Tang Mo to enter the formal production as soon as possible is his greatest loyalty to the Earl.

"First, I want to produce enough steel for my needs. Although I have bought almost all the steel from the sea, the quality of these iron materials is uneven... We need a lot of high-quality steel, a steady stream of steel .” Tang Mo raised a finger and said to Tiger.

Tiger also knew that Tang Mo had already used up a lot of steel to make new equipment, and if he didn't get enough steel as soon as possible, there wouldn't be enough steel for the production of gun barrels.

In order for Tang Mo to start production as soon as possible and supply enough high-quality weapons to the Earl, Tiger decided to help him get what he wanted as soon as possible: "I see, I will send someone to contact the Earl as soon as possible. Let him raise as much steel as he can."

"In addition, I need some gold coins. As you can see, I need to purchase the surrounding land to build more factories." Tang Mo hooked Tiger's shoulders, walked out of the factory, and pointed to the start of construction. said a row of wooden houses.

These days, everyone's economic conditions are not very good. It is actually a very good situation to live in a row of wooden houses.

But this is just a dormitory for workers, or a wooden house that was temporarily built in order to pursue progress.What Tang Mo really wanted was a bigger factory building, a new factory building that could accommodate more equipment.

So he continued to say to Tiger: "The old factory building is no longer suitable. The new factory building needs more space and a taller chimney... Ahem... The chimney is too short. If we don't want to be choked to death in the Here, more land and taller chimneys are needed."

Pretentiously coughing twice, Tang Mo expressed his firm determination to improve the living environment and devote himself to the environmental protection revolution.

Before Tiger came back to his senses, he continued on his own: "Also, I want to build more dormitories. If possible, I hope to take over the family members of the entire factory. Resettlement! This is to make workers work better! It is one of the welfare benefits of our factory."

"These good welfare benefits require more buildings. Building a house requires money, and it takes a lot of money." He made a gesture of counting money in front of Ge, and said exaggeratedly.

"I don't understand, my lord. If you rush to work, you can keep the current speed. Why do you have to build so many houses." Tiger felt that he couldn't keep up with Tang Mo's thinking, and asked.

Tang Mo was taken aback. He didn't expect that the other party could raise doubts after being fooled like this, so he continued to fool him with earnest words: "Tiger! Tiger! Dear Tiger! Everything here is new, my equipment , our secret... People outside will know sooner or later, what do you think we can do to keep it secret and let people outside know as late as possible?"

Hearing Tang Mo pull out the flag of secrecy, Tiger immediately understood it - this part was close to his military major, so he easily understood what Tang Mo said.

Of course, all of this is what he thinks, and Tang Mo will not really explain his intentions, so Tiger nodded as a matter of course and said: "I understand, my lord, you want to keep it a secret! Okay, if it is In this case, I will try my best to help you realize your request."

"Gold coins are needed to buy land, to build a house, and to pay workers' salaries, so we may not have enough gold coins." Tang Mo counted the places where he needed money one by one, wringing his fingers.

Tiger felt a little ashamed, but still satisfied Tang Mo's request as much as possible: "I will convey your request to Lord Earl as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about this, where did we just talk about? Oh, yes, I want to buy the surrounding land, a lot of land." Tang Mo suddenly said that he returned to the issue of land: "I hope to buy land closer to the vicious forest." Buy a lot of cheap land in the direction, anyway, there is not a good place, far away from Bunas, most of them are wasteland."

Tang Mo wanted to expand his factory, so he needed a lot of land. He wanted to build his own military empire, so he needed a more complete industrial chain.

According to Tang Mo's conception, he first needs to ensure the safety of the passage between himself and North Ridge, so he is going to buy the needed land in the direction of North Ridge.

On the one hand, he needs the port of Bunas to serve him, to transport and store more goods, including a large amount of seaborne steel and fishery products.

On the other hand, he still needs to find an opportunity to develop the wood of the vicious forest. With these woods, he can further expand his production and build more factories.

And between these raw material origins and ports, he needs a large amount of land to build his own industrial empire—including a large number of dormitories, factories, and agricultural land.

He wants to grow cotton here, and the climate here is very suitable for growing cotton.Before, no one supported it because of the sparse population and the waste of money and food, but now he is going to transform this place into a real paradise at any cost.

In the future, these open spaces will be turned into pig farms for bristle production, a large smelting center, and factories full of chimneys.

Among these factories are schools for cultivating talents, markets for hoarding goods, and workers' dormitories with standardized sanitation and order.

He wants to turn this place into an industrial base even more spectacular than the Ruhr area of ​​Germany, connecting Wolf City to the north and mountains to the south, backed by the endless sea, and facing the vast Wright Plain.

Being hugged by Tang Mo like this, Tiger was overwhelmed by Tang Mo's request, and subconsciously replied, "I think this should be fine."

"You'd better come with me, the sheriff and mayor of Burnas may not be so easy to talk to." Tang Mo continued.

Tiger nodded as a matter of course and agreed: "I will let them be reasonable."

"That's really great. In addition, I need leather workers, workers who deal with bristles, and it's best to have a doctor..." Tang Mo said excitedly.

"Are you preparing to build a small town by yourself? My lord." Tiger felt that he might have promised too much, which made Tang Mo miscalculate the earl's support.

In fact, the earl's influence is really very limited beyond the vicious forest, and it doesn't seem to have much effect here.

But of course he couldn't tell Tang Mo that the title of Earl is of no use here, it's better for you to be an honest person...

"Almost! I need my workers to be able to buy food and supplies in my factory, see their own wives, and raise their own children..." Tang Mo felt that Tiger seemed to be very smart. Think of a small town.

Having said this, Tang Mo was obviously stunned for a moment, and then found a new entry point: "Speaking of children... I should build a school here, children should be able to read, they should study. If you can find some teachers, That couldn't be better."
