Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 463 Chapter 463 Dragon Project

Four days later, a news came back from Dongwan Island, which forced Tang Mo to hold another plenary meeting to discuss the strategy of Zheng Guo.

"Things have become difficult to handle." Putting down the information in his hand, Nangong Hong sighed a little bit dumbfounded: "I really didn't expect that your methods can be so effective, so effective that even I was a little caught off guard... ..."

There was a bit of sarcasm in his words, which made Leo a little embarrassed.Most of the things in this area were handled by his intelligence department, and it really surprised him when something like this happened.

Just yesterday, a very shocking event happened: a man whose wife was starved to death and whose children all died of illness, after losing all hope, was exiled to Linshui Port and became a dock worker.

After working for a few months, the dock worker suddenly became extreme after seeing the bright side of the world.

He stole a sum of money that his foreman used to pay his wages, fled back to his hometown, pretended to have a deep background, spent money to bribe the city defense army, and obtained a batch of artillery propellant.

Then this big brother actually used this batch of gunpowder to make an explosive bag, and blew up the government office in the county that ruined his family...

Coincidentally, the official office that the eldest brother blew up happened to be the place where the confidant of Zheng Guozhu, Zheng Tong, was stationed to spy on Linshui City's intelligence.

What is even more speechless is that before the explosives were detonated, the elder brother gave a passionate speech along the street, promoting the happy life of Tang people, telling everyone that they are all Tang people, not Zheng people who were mermaids!
After the praise of this "hero", Linshui City has countless bread and porridge, countless job opportunities, and the news that everyone can live with dignity spread like wildfire, becoming an open secret.

Similarly, this kind of gossip can no longer be hidden.Zheng Tong's confidantes would make some random investigations and inquire secretly, and they would always gain something.

"This is the third similar incident recently. There are even more ruthless ones..." Loew added helplessly: "Several miners who received night school education thought they had learned the truth, and returned to their hometowns to organize a group called 'Miners' The self-rescue team easily gathered more than 3 people. They seized the arsenal of the town where they were located, and even destroyed the local Zheng Guo garrison. The Dragon Banner and Dragon Emblem..."

Hearing the news, Nangong Hong's eyes widened as if I couldn't believe it.Li Ao was even more depressed, and explained: "Actually, it's nothing. The group of miners are already hard-working, and their combat effectiveness is higher than that of the pampered city guards. It's not unusual."

You Lin looked at Tang Mo, and analyzed, "Information shows that the situation in Zheng State has begun to slip out of our control. We underestimated the determination of the civilians there to resist, and also underestimated the chaotic state of management there. Before the following The executor didn't think it was a bad thing, so he didn't actively report it, so there have been more similar things recently."

"Moreover, it's beyond our ability to manage and control." Li Ao sighed and admitted his mistake: "I'm responsible, I acted too hastily."

"The workers and peasants we control in Linshui City, the daily main task is not to incite these workers' rebellion, but to find ways to calm down their rioting fanaticism." You Lin continued: "It's like a powder keg, Throw a match at random, boom! It will explode."

"The executor over there reported the truth." Leo also continued: "If we don't tell everyone to calm down as much as possible and wait for our actions, conflicts have already broken out there."

The Datang Group underestimated the impact of Zheng's corruption on the people's livelihood. Under the long-term oppression and exploitation, the local people have already suffered terribly.

They hope that someone can rescue them from the dire straits, and those hungry people hope that someone can give them a bite to eat.

As a result, the Datang Group appeared, and they gave these miserable people a hope, a hope to become Tang people, to continue to live, to live happily, and to live with dignity!
"The senior officials of Zheng State are trying to investigate the situation in our infiltration area, and we are also trying our best to conceal the truth of the matter. But as time goes by, this kind of response is becoming more and more powerless." As the director of intelligence, Li O was very sorry for his mistake.

The manpower deployed in the country of Zheng was insufficient, and a large part of it was spent on drawing maps and buying local officials. There was not much power left to deal with Zheng's spies.

Even so, relying on their own fighting power, the intelligence personnel of the Datang Group still thwarted more than [-]% of the spying operations of Zheng Guo's spies.

It's a pity that the hundred secrets are still sparse. It is an unrealistic luxury to expect to completely destroy the opponent's intelligence system and completely block the opponent's eyes and ears.

Therefore, Li Ao can only expect the enemy to be lenient: "The other party has roughly understood part of the truth. Although we are not sure how far they have controlled, we can be sure that the other party is already responding. Zheng Tong is dispatching his confidantes, A more detailed investigation was carried out near the area under our control, and the Zhang family is also desperately trying to obtain the information they want."

Military affairs are reported by Loew. He then reported the recent developments of Zheng Guo's troops: "Li Jun's control is also declining. He has already realized the danger and has mobilized his most trusted army. Stationed at a key position in Zheng Guo."

"The basic IQ of these people in power is still there. If they are greedy for money and take benefits, they will accept it without hesitation and are willing to intensify their efforts. But if they really sell their power, they will refuse again." Nangong Hong With emotion.

Li Ao pushed a new piece of information back to the center of the table: "Yes. According to the information, the top leaders of Zheng State have already begun to consider slaughtering chickens and taking eggs across the country, expropriating all factories, and snatching the fruits of victory in industrialization."

"Once we let Zheng Tong act, our losses will increase, and our efforts to manage the entire territory of Zheng State will also be affected." Parker, who is in charge of industrial development, reminded worriedly.

Datang Group's investment in Zheng Guo has been astonishing, including roads, factories and schools.If these things were snatched by Zheng Tong first, they would inevitably lose some of them if they were snatched back.

It's a blessing to keep half of it once and for all.This kind of thing is something that the industrially-prosperous Datang Group would never try lightly.

"What does the General Staff mean?" Tang Mo looked at the map hanging on the wall, looked at the progress bar with a magnet cursor on it, and finally looked at Loew, and asked.

In fact, he already had his own answer, and he just wanted to hear the advice of his subordinates.

Everyone here knows the answer, because during the discussion just now, everyone's tendency is very obvious.

Sure enough, Loew gave Tang Mo's expected answer: "Start action in advance, and implement the 'Dragon Project' before Zheng Tong takes action."

"Now?" Tang Mo glanced at everyone sitting on both sides of the table in front of him.

"Now!" Loew continued to nod, giving an affirmative answer again.

Tang Mo saw the firm gaze in the eyes of everyone present, he nodded, and then said: "Okay, I will sign the order, and the command of the front line will be given to Tiger."

After finishing speaking, he added: "The navy fleet went to the mirage country to deter them according to the plan! Tell them, if they dare to steal chickens when we attack Zheng country, I will fight the rabbits and clean them up together!"

"Yes!" Loew stood up and saluted.

Tang Mo also stood up and ended this impromptu combat meeting: "Command Tiger to start implementing the 'Dragon Project'! The starting time... the moment the telegram is sent."

"The Great Tang will win!" Nan Gonghong, who was so excited, immediately got up and praised loudly.Because of the excessive movement, his chair rubbed against the ground and made a harsh sound.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of chairs rubbing against the ground came one after another. Everyone stood up and chanted loudly with their chins raised: "Da Tang will win!"

……

"The highest-level secret message. It's from Long Island." A lady officer walked into Tiger's office on Dongwan Island, and handed the secret message from Dragon Island to Tiger, who was handling military affairs.

Tiger took the telegram, looked down at the content above, and his eyes immediately became sharp.

He grabbed the phone in front of him and shook the handle on it: "Get me the 1st Infantry Division!... This is Tiger! The Dragon Project has started! Gather the troops and board the ship within 10 hours!"

"Yes!" After the majestic voice answered on the other end of the phone, Tiger hung up the phone.

On the other side, in the Navy Command, Bernard was also giving boarding orders to the 1st Marine Division.

After hanging up the phone, he continued to order: "Assemble the fleet! The Dongwan Island Squadron is responsible for covering the landing of the troops. The main fleet will follow me northward and go to the Mirage Kingdom."

"Then didn't we miss the landing battle?" The adjutant looked at his coach with some regret and asked.

"There won't be any decent naval battles..." As the commander of the world's most powerful fleet, Bernard said with some regret: "Yucheng 2 will arrive tomorrow, and we will meet her in the open sea."

"Invincible...sometimes it's boring." The adjutant couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He had already seen the majesty of Yucheng No. 1 battleship.Now, they have two such warships!
Linshui City is almost undefended, and Zheng Guo's naval fleet is useless.Even if the other party knew the whole picture of the Dragon Project in advance, they didn't have enough strength to stop everything from happening.

The first batch of landing troops of the Datang Group will most likely be transported directly to the port wharf by a transport ship for unloading.Zheng Guo's army in Linshui City will not even resist.

According to the plan, this is not a landing battle at all, but a daily operation similar to mobilizing troops to change defenses.When the troops of several divisions were deployed in the hinterland of Zheng Guo, Zheng Tong, the king of Zheng Guo, would find that his enemies had already been killed under his nose.

With a whistle, the soldiers began to organize their equipment in the densely packed barracks on Dongwan Island.

Counting the soldiers conscripted from North Ridge and other areas, after such a long period of accumulation of troops on Dongwan Island, the Datang Group's total strength is close to 16.

Although according to the standard, most of these troops are light infantry divisions, their combat effectiveness is still not comparable to that of traditional troops.

These units are divided into 8 divisions, of which 4 are the main divisions, namely the 1st Infantry Division, the 1st Motorized Infantry Division (formerly the 5th Division), the 1st Marine Division, and the 4th Infantry Division.

There are also 4 light divisions, namely the newly formed 5th Division, 6th Division, 7th Division and 8th Division.

In the past few months, the troops stationed on Dongwan Island have been training to fight across the sea. Everyone is looking forward to the outbreak of war, and everyone is waiting for another opportunity to make contributions.

The difference from capturing Dongwan Island is that this time is the true Tang Dynasty's battle for the founding of the country, and everyone who participated in the battle has made contributions from the dragon!How can this not be exciting?How can it not be exciting?
In the port, huge cranes began to hoist supplies onto the free wheel. The sound of sirens echoed in the harbor, and the soldiers crowded on the pier could not see the end at a glance.

Burnas, Harry who hurried into the conference room, nodded slightly to the envoys from various countries.He walked to his seat, paused for two seconds, and said, "Gentlemen, I invite you to come here this time to announce something..."

After a slight hesitation, he continued to state a fact to everyone: "Unfortunately, a new war has begun, and the Datang Group has officially declared war on Zheng Guo."

Of course, this result seems to be expected by everyone.There wasn't enough whispering or commotion, and everyone was looking at Harry, waiting for him to continue.

Harry gave a little time for everyone present to digest the news, and then he continued: "My teacher, Mr. Tang Mo, will voluntarily give up his status as the Marquess of the Lions Empire...he will establish himself as a prince on Dragon Island. King, country title, Tang."

"During this war, Zheng Guoguo will disappear in this world, and the Datang Kingdom will take its place. From this moment on, the Datang Group will officially separate from the Datang Kingdom and become an independent industrial group. It will still maintain a neutral position towards all countries. The provision of arms and other materials to countries will not be affected in any way, and all treaties and contracts are normal."

This news seemed to be even more explosive than the Datang Group's invasion of Zheng. The next second after Harry finished speaking, envoys from various countries immediately began to whisper.

Datang Group continues to remain neutral. Strictly speaking, this is good news for everyone.At least the Datang Group will maintain the superficial principle of fairness and maintain the supply of weapons to all countries.

In the same way, the establishment of the Great Tang Kingdom is also a piece of news worth pondering: the use of the imperial title is obviously the result of deliberation within the Great Tang Group—Tang Mo does not want to stimulate the Great China Empire, and at the same time avoids being in the Empire. In such an embarrassing time in the first year, it was a child's play to announce the name of his empire.

"Afterwards, the envoys of the Tang Kingdom will send a note to the special envoys, and submit the credentials with the special envoys..." After Harry briefly explained the situation, the meeting ended: "There are too many specific operations, and there will It's very complicated, and the process may take days, or even months, so I won't waste everyone's time here."

"Thank you for coming here in your busy schedule. Goodbye." He left the meeting room after he finished speaking, leaving only the envoys of various countries whispering and discussing.
