Chapter 239 Chapter 239 A Castle

Bunas, in Tang Mo's office, Li Ao was reporting to him the latest news from Long Island: "The opponent probably has a battalion of troops, without heavy artillery, and most of the naval warships have been wiped out."

After interrogating several captives, the battleship Burnas 4 determined the size of the enemy's landing force and the landing point. At this moment, it was aggressively attacking the beach where the pioneering troops of the Tarun Kingdom landed.

Tang Mo didn't make a sound. He listened to Li Ao's report and weighed in his mind how to deal with the aftermath of this war.

It is easy to deal with the war with Tarun Kingdom. As long as his battleship sails to the sea off Tarun Kingdom, if the opponent's head is not sick, he will definitely surrender.

No matter what he wants, the other party will kneel down and pinch his nose to admit it, because he is the king of the sea in this world, the overlord of the endless sea.

As long as half of the warships in his hands are dispatched, those countries that claim to have a strong navy can hide in a corner and tremble.

Therefore, what he is thinking about now is how to prevent such things from happening.Needless to say about the strategic position of Dragon Island, Tang Mo felt that the main reason for this crisis was his lack of control over Dragon Island.

His population on Dragon Island was too small to firmly control the entire island, which gave other people an opportunity and seriously threatened his oil supply security.

Li Ao, who didn't wait for Tang Mo to speak, could only continue to say: "According to the information provided by the other party, the commander of the Tarun Kingdom is named Howson, and he is a ruthless officer."

There is a wrong and a debtor. They now know that the person who shot and killed the patrol captain was this guy named Howson.

"Catch him, try him, and then hang him...to avenge our martyrs." Tang Mo gave his advice.

Li Ao nodded, and then continued: "The other side doesn't know how many soldiers they left behind to guard their landing point, so it's unlikely that his troops are at full strength of 500, probably only around 480."

The prisoners gave all the information they knew without any hesitation. After seeing the power of the Datang Group's warships, they no longer took chances.

What they are thinking about now is how to quickly take advantage of being captured first, get along with these powerful opponents, and try to get a job in managing the captives, as a comprador, so that they will not be in the process of being captured. suffer.

"The Bunas 4 has completely wiped out the opponent's fleet, and is now rushing to the opponent's landing point at full speed. They called to ask if they want to take prisoners, including ships." Without waiting for Tang Mo to say anything, Li Ao continued to ask .

Tang Mo thought for a few seconds, and then gave his own order: "Let them be careful, and capture the ship and people together under the premise of ensuring that the battleship is not damaged! We have to save some money, learn to be thrifty... ..."

"This subordinate understands." Li Ao nodded slightly again.

Then he went on to say: "It is said that there is one warship and 1 transport ships at the landing point of Tarun Kingdom. The other party transported about 10 craftsmen and about 500 immigrants."

Tang Mo was still thinking about the population of Long Island just now, so this time he hardly thought about it, and gave these craftsmen some advice on how to deal with them: "After the prisoners are captured, find them some jobs...don't take it too easy!"

Li Ao replied directly: "It has been found, and all the captives will be arranged together to build you a sufficiently splendid castle on the island."

"Are you kidding me?" Tang Mo was taken aback, and looked at Li Ao with an expression of disbelief written all over his face.

"This is what we all mean." Leo explained: "Although everyone thinks that it should be kept secret, this subordinate is your intelligence chief, so the subordinate must report everything he knows to you."

"We've reached the point where we can waste human resources like this?" Tang Mo didn't think it was a wise thing to waste more than 1000 labor when manpower was urgently needed.

Up to now, he just lived in the office building of the factory, and occasionally went to the city of Bunas. He didn't have a decent home of his own at all.

Because he always used every penny to keep Datang Group running at the highest speed, which is also the secret of his success today.

Seeing that Tang Mo was a little displeased, Li Ao quickly opened his mouth and explained for everyone: "Actually, we can't use these craftsmen with peace of mind. After all, they are from the Kingdom of Talun, so we can't let them touch our core." confidential."

"The periphery...?" Tang Mo felt that it would be in line with his plan to make good use of these captives and let them do some more important work.

Li Ao explained to Tang Mo with a smile: "It's not easy to manage the outlying wasteland and the like, I'm afraid they will run away...so I simply let them build the castle."

After all, watching a group of people working on a hill is not the same thing as sending them to work in the forest, and the number of detainees required is also obviously different.

"..." Tang Mo fell silent. He felt that what Li Ao said made sense, so he couldn't refute it for a while.

Even Tang Mo himself didn't discover it. From the beginning to the end, he and Li Ao were talking about more than 1000 artisan prisoners. As for the 500 soldiers, it seemed that they no longer existed.

Li Ao then added: "Of course, they don't know that they are building a castle. We just let them build the outer wall. For the specific interior, we think it is safer for us to do it ourselves."

"..." Tang Mo didn't know what to say seeing his subordinates think so thoroughly.

Speaking of this, Leo seemed to have a lot to say: "We found inspiration in your paintings. In fact, we plan to wait for the castle to be completely completed before giving it to you as a gift."

"Gift?" Tang Mo was taken aback for a moment, then he was a little puzzled by the word.

"Yes, it's a gift from all of us. All executives of Datang Group paid for it... So, it is a gift from us. Thank you for taking care of us all the time." Li Ao explained.

Tang Mo was stunned again, then he remembered that he had drawn a sketch in his leisure time, which was a sketch of Neuschwanstein Castle.

So, he probably knew what his castle looked like: "Wait, you said you found inspiration in my paintings? You mean, that Neuschwanstein Castle?"

Li Ao nodded, and then told Tang Mo that he had already thought up the name of his castle: "Yes, but...we all think that the name of this Swan Castle is not very nice, so everyone voted with a show of hands to choose this one. The castle is named... 'Dragon's Lair'..."

"..." Tang Mo suddenly felt that there seemed to be a mustache growing under his nose... What is this strong smell of San Dezi?Shouldn't he have a mansion of some kind, a basement or something?
Just as he was complaining about the name of his own castle, on the position of Longdao, the soldiers of the security force of the Datang Group, who had seen the enemy approaching, had already pulled the bolt and loaded the bullets into the chamber.

The machine gunner pulled the bolt, made a nice clacking sound, and then aimed the black muzzle at the enemy troops assembled in the distance.

And Howson had already dispatched a reconnaissance force, seven or eight soldiers scattered, as if wanting to test the reality of the defenders, they touched the factory behind the security forces of the Datang Group little by little.

In the next second, a sudden gunshot sounded, and the hunting troops began to attack.A Tarun soldier who was advancing with a gun fell in response, and the rest of the people shrank their necks involuntarily.

Soon the second shot came, and another Tarun soldier who hadn't found the enemy screamed and fell down.

The few remaining soldiers quickly fled in embarrassment, stumbling back to their own team.

Howson couldn't be sure whether the opponent used this method because of the lack of people, or just shot coldly to disrupt his offensive steps.However, he also knew that he had to hurry up on his side. If the opponent could stabilize his position, the people he brought might not be enough.

Ever since, he drew out the saber at his waist, pointed it forward, and loudly issued an attack order: "The whole army advances! Capture this workshop!"

Following his orders, the troops on his side began to advance.These troops marched in neat steps in the burnt-black wilderness, accompanied by the sound of fragile drums.

On the other side of the forest, a ragged sailor stumbled up to a high place and saw his troops advancing forward.

He sat down on the ground, panting heavily.He looked at the distant team in despair, knowing that it was too late.

Because the offensive had already begun, he could no longer tell the frontline commander Howson that his fleet had been wiped out in time.

If he shouted loudly now, he might not be able to accurately convey the news to the friendly troops on the battlefield.

Therefore, he could only look desperately at his troops approaching the distant buildings. After a few seconds, he heard dense gunshots.

In the sound of gunfire, the brown and golden steering wheel flag fluttering in the wind quickly fell down, and the soldiers who were marching forward, like crops in a wheat field, fell row after row under an invisible sickle Down.

There was chaos for a while, and the sailor, who managed to find the right direction and broke out of the forest, closed his eyes in despair.

And at the same moment, Howson on the battlefield was completely taken aback by the strength of his opponent.He stood there motionless, letting the bullets fly past him, unable to speak a word.
