Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 207 Chapter 207
The expansion of a country will always cause tension in other neighboring countries, even if it does not receive any substantive sanctions, it will also make other neighboring countries jealous.

This state of vigilance and vigilance will continue until a war breaks out between the two sides, or the expanding country stops its expansion and makes great efforts to rebuild its international reputation.

Of course, rebuilding the international reputation is a very long process, which can only be done honestly and step by step.

The Cypress Kingdom rejected the Yangmu Kingdom's alliance request, which was actually expected, but Yangmu Eleven did not expect the other party to refuse so simply.

"Cyric's influence, and there may even be other forces involved." Soon, he realized that not everyone wanted to see the Yangmu Kingdom be dominated by one family.

In the end, the king of the Yangmu Kingdom lay down depressed: "Now, it depends on whether Marquis Augustine can open up the situation in Nanshui Port."

……

In Bunas, in the brand new port built by the Datang Group, Tang Mo is presiding over the launching ceremony for the two warships launched at the same time.

The Datang Group has been focusing on managing the Black Dragon Island recently, so the construction speed of the battleship is also very fast.

Tang Mo stood on the pier between the two warships and announced loudly to the crowd sitting there: "Today is a special day! The fifth and sixth warships of our Datang Group have launched! Gentlemen The sea belongs to us! Starting today, we will have enough troops to deal with all the plots against our Datang Group at sea!"

He waved his fist and gave all Datang Group personnel great confidence: "In the face of absolute power! No one can shake our position!"

The applause continued for a long time, because everyone knew that these warships were almost invincible on the sea, and Datang Group would definitely control the sea in the future and obtain astonishing wealth.

After the event ended, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, who came from afar to support Tang Mo, walked side by side with Tang Mo on the pier with his hands behind his back.

People who passed by nodded to the two, but no one dared to disturb their conversation.

The old prime minister praised and said: "Mr. Tang, I really opened my eyes today! I just realized that steel warships are so powerful that they can even subvert the rules of hegemony in the entire ocean."

Tang Mo laughed loudly, and said modestly, "You are too polite. In fact, these are all small scenes, small scenes, hahahaha."

In fact, compared with the newer class of warships he was preparing to build, the first-generation Burnas-class ironclad ship in front of him was indeed just a small scene.

The second-generation warship secretly built in another dock uses a newly built hull and uses the latest power system. Whether it is speed, armor protection, or firepower, it has been comprehensively improved.

This more advanced battleship adopts the classic high-proportion ship shape of the cruiser, emphasizing the speed of the ship, coupled with the improved power system, the speed of this new battleship has reached an astonishing 28 knots - a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour!
In order to install more boilers, this battleship has 4 chimneys, the hull is also more slender, and the tonnage has also been increased to 4000 tons. It is 140 meters long and 14 meters wide!

It is equipped with eight single-mounted 150 mm caliber naval guns, completely abandoning other weapons and equipment.In terms of the number of cannons alone, it is even a little less than the Burnas-class ironclad ships, but the caliber has increased significantly.

But don't underestimate this weapon selection, because the guns have the same caliber, and it uses two sets of completely matching new optical sighting equipment to uniformly command the guns of the entire ship, which makes the guns hit more accurately.

In addition, the armor protection of this new type of warship has also been slightly improved, and its self-sustaining power has also been greatly improved, increasing its endurance.

This is a battleship selected entirely according to Tang Mo's needs. It can maneuver quickly at sea, cover a wider sea area, and complete the protection of Tang Mo's sea line of communication.

The new artillery on the new battleship also uses completely new technology. Frankly speaking, this is Tang's first barrel recoil cannon.

With the brake device, the shooting of the artillery becomes faster and the aiming is more convenient, which can be said to be an innovation.

With the addition of a simple loading machine, although the new battleship has only eight artillery pieces, and can only concentrate five artillery pieces on one side at most, the firepower density has actually been slightly improved.

At the same time, the communication and telegraph system on the battleship was retained, and more lighting devices were added to make the interior of the entire battleship brighter.

Because the power of the power system is increased, the power of the generator is also greater, and the power of the whole ship is more stable.

What's more interesting is that this new warship is expected to be equipped with a telephone device to enhance the communication efficiency within the warship.

This is a newer invention, which also makes the command of the entire battleship more convenient and faster, and also improves the efficiency of the battleship.

After all, Tang Mo has created the world's first telephone device, and the experiment has been completed. He can grab the telephone in his office and call Matthews or Parker who are working in the factory.

Tang Mo named the brand-new battleship after the wolf class, which can be regarded as inheriting his tradition of naming warships of all levels after cities.

"If, if the Kingdom of Wright wants to buy such a warship, would Datang Group be willing to sell it?" The old prime minister looked at the steel warship docked at the pier, replenishing fresh water and coal, and suddenly asked Tang Mo.

"Why not?" Tang Mo asked with a smile.

The old prime minister was taken aback, obviously surprised by this answer, he looked at Tang Mo with disbelief in his eyes.

After all, in his perception, Tang Mo now almost controlled the entire ocean. If he didn't sell such warships, he would definitely be able to maintain his throne of sea supremacy for a long time.

So, he continued to ask with some doubts, "Is this kind of...things for sale?"

Tang Mo replied with a natural expression: "Of course, we developed this weapon, isn't it for sale?"

Rely on this outdated first-generation ironclad ship with slow speed and limited self-sustainability to control the ocean?Isn't Tang Mo crazy?
The vast ocean of this world may be larger than the world Tang strangely lived in before, and even today there are still unexplored areas.

Such a huge territory and such a huge benefit, it is impossible for Tang Mo to eat it alone and hold it in his own hands.

What's more, once the habit of eating alone appears, the whole world will regard him as the number one enemy.Rather than being a public enemy of the world, he prefers the feeling of secretly manipulating everything.

The prime minister thought for a while, and asked a question he was very interested in very seriously: "Do you really have no desire to fight for world hegemony?"

Tang Mo answered the prime minister's question with a half-truth: "Master Prime Minister, in fact, I don't want to waste my energy on those vulgar things. It's okay to listen to songs and music, chat and drink with beauties, and go to the casino to cultivate yourself Sentiment, isn't it good?"

In fact, no one can take this kind of small talk that is not a promise, or even a verbal statement, seriously.

So, the prime minister changed the topic of the chat and asked another question he was interested in: "So, have you ever considered becoming a real nobleman?"

"Huh? Aren't I already a Viscount?" Tang Mo had been promoted to Viscount by Wright VII, which also happened recently.

The current Tang Mo is already a hot new nobleman in the kingdom, and even many old noblemen have begun to curry favor with him, the young viscount.

Interestingly, following Cyric's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Bunas, Baron Stella, who originally had a grudge against Tang Mo, fled overseas in fright without looking back, and joined the Cyric consortium up.

And that Chumluo, who had a bloody feud with Beiling, also had no news after the Battle of Bunas, as if the world had evaporated.

However, eyewitnesses in the battle that day confirmed that Chumro was shot with half of his arm flying away. After returning to the camp, he underwent surgery and saw off his left arm.

The current Chumluo is a one-armed man, which gives him another characteristic, and makes Tang Mo more confident in finding him.

The prime minister immediately said to Tang Mo, "A viscount entrusted by the king of a kingdom is obviously not a real nobleman."

"What do you mean?" Tang Mo looked at the prime minister, as if asking knowingly.

Sure enough, the prime minister saw it poorly and expressed his true thoughts: "If you are willing to support the Wright Kingdom...to become the Wright Empire, then His Majesty Wright VII will not be stingy, and I very much hope to call you Lord Duke. "

He hoped that Tang Mo would support the Wright Kingdom, continue to expand, and eventually become a new empire.He also hoped that Tang Mo could provide help to push Wright VII to the throne of emperor, become the founding king of the Wright Empire, and become the honorable Wright I.

Tang Mo didn't express his opinion, but shook his head and said, "I will support His Majesty the King as always... But, you know... Actually, I'm not interested in titles either."

The prime minister felt that Tang Mo was like a little fox, with a deeper scheming than other 20-year-old young people, cunning and cautious, which made him unable to strike.

He sighed in his heart, and he also knew that Tang Mo's climate had become unusable for him, so he restrained his small thoughts, chatted curiously and asked, "Then what are you interested in?"

"Money!" Tang Mo replied without thinking, "I'm very interested in money."

"Really tasteful." The prime minister nodded, agreeing with Tang Mo's nonsense answer.

"Hahahaha!" Tang Mo was in a good mood and immediately laughed.On the pier, many people looked this way and saw Tang Mo laughing unscrupulously.
