Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 508
Long Dao and Tang Mo, who had a small meeting with Nan Gonghong and Luo Jie, nodded and admitted their thoughts: "I am indeed transferring new industries to the hinterland of the kingdom."

"Compared with Bunas and Yucheng, which have almost no strategic depth, Linshui and Tongcheng are obviously more suitable for me to increase investment." He did not hide: "Bunas will no longer be the key area of ​​my business in the future. I'm pretty sure of that."

Roger was a little bit unhappy, because Bunas was once the core industrial area of ​​Datang Group, and it also carried his bitterest and most brilliant memories.

Roger, who has been struggling in Burnas, still has a lot of affection for it.And he also regards it as his foundation, and it is also the foundation of Datang Group.

Now Tang Mo wants to give up this foundation and shift his focus to Long Island, Linshui and other places, which makes Roger very uncomfortable.

Today's Roger is not only the prime minister, but also represents the interests of many people who followed Tang Mo in the early days and rose from Bunas.

They were very worried that after Tang Mo returned to the Tang Kingdom, he would gradually abandon the old system and rely heavily on those newcomers with black eyes and black hair from the same race.

Tang Mo also knew what Roger was thinking. It was not the time for him to feed the whole family by himself. The large group of people around him all had their own ideas.

Roger on this side is worried about the future of Bunas, while Nan Gonghong on the other side is refreshed.

In his opinion, as long as Tang Mo is willing to shift his focus, then there will be hope for him and the new forces that he represents that joined the Tang Kingdom.

"The strategic depth of Bunas is really a problem." Tang Mo explained to Roger: "There is no way to expand the space there, so it is not safe to put important facilities there."

Although he now relies heavily on the more talented Nangong Hong, it doesn't mean he trusts Nangong Hong.In fact, in Tang Mo's team, the people he trusted the most were still the old people brought out by Bunas.

Therefore, when Tang Mo made a decision that was unfavorable to Bunas, he would explain his intention to Roger, so that Roger could rest assured.

"The scuffle in the trade alliance this time has exposed many problems. For example, our old friend Lyons I obviously has some ideas in his heart." Tang Mo pointed to his temple: "Obviously , he is already considering getting rid of our influence."

"The Lions Empire is just a microcosm. In fact, Dorne, Susas, these countries are all trying to get rid of our influence." Tang Mo said, spreading his hands helplessly: "When there was only Cyric, they didn't So they can only endure. Now that we have us, they are going to pull the old concubine Cyric to weaken our influence."

"Doesn't that sound irritating?" Tang Mo laughed as he spoke, "But it's okay, they won't be able to get rid of us for a while."

Tang Mo still has this confidence. If the other party wants to do something to Bunas, he will definitely receive the news in advance. No matter how well the other party is concealed, he cannot escape his eyes.

It's just that Bunas's strategic depth is too small, and there is no room for it.So it was impossible for Tang Mo to continue investing in such a place.

What's more, compared with his own territory, this place is only a "rented land" after all, belonging to the Datang Group rather than the Datang Kingdom, so there are loopholes in the righteousness.

Before there was no choice, Tang Mo could only develop in Bunas.Now that he has his own territory and a better choice, Tang Mo certainly can't continue to be attached to Bunas.

So, he looked at Roger and expressed his concerns: "But the problem is, it's not a good thing to have too deep a bond. These old friends who don't keep us together will inadvertently play up our ideas."

"Many countries have asked us to apply for loans." He lit a cigarette for himself when he said this: "If they don't want to pay back the money, and even want to get more benefits... Attacking Bunas, it seems It’s a better choice for them.”

In this scuffle, the Lions Empire unexpectedly formed an alliance with the Goblin Kingdom, which in itself was a wake-up call for Tang Mo.

Several countries around Bunas have actually started trying to get rid of the control of the Datang Group.

For example, Suzas attacked the neighboring country and expanded its own territory, the Dorne Kingdom declared war on the Goblins, and the Lions Empire formed an alliance with the Goblins. In fact, they did not discuss this series of actions with Tang Mo.

This uncontrollability made Tang Mo have to consider the safety of Bunas, so he took advantage of the trend to reduce his investment in Bunas.

Anyway, new equipment can be placed anywhere, so it is better to put it in the safer Linshui Port or Tongcheng.

After all, Linshui Port is protected by Dongwan Port outside Linshui Port, and has a wide inland area to rely on. The geographical advantage is obviously much better than that of Bunas.

Roger is also a bong now. He saw Tang Mo lit a cigarette and knew that he could follow suit, so he quickly lit one too.

"Then why don't we strengthen the defense of Bunas? Datang's army is invincible, they can't break through our defense!" In the short silence, there was only the crisp sound of a lighter, and Roger, who lit a cigarette, was puzzled. asked.

"Because the strategic depth is not enough! If I gather a large army to try to keep Bunas, in the process of increasing troops, it is tantamount to threatening all the surrounding countries! If I hoard heavy troops on the border, everyone will think we are a threat!" Tang Mo continued to explain.

Previously, Tang Mo followed Nan Gonghong's suggestion and expanded westward, which was in his own mind to resolve the hostility of the surrounding forces.The Datang Group is too large and too threatening, which can easily arouse the suspicion of the surrounding forces.

If the Datang Kingdom now unscrupulously dispatches troops to the territory of the Datang Group, it is tantamount to lifting its own fig leaf, and nakedly mixing the Datang Group and the Datang Kingdom, which seem to be separated after a long time.

This is not good for Datang Group and Datang Kingdom, and it may not be able to reap benefits.

Fearing that Roger would not understand this level, Tang Mo continued to say to him: "Of course, we can disregard other people's opinions and just set up our own defense line. But in fact, because of the distance, we The defense line is too close to Yucheng itself!"

"The opponent can threaten Yucheng's industrial area with only heavy artillery. If they break through our defense line, then we won't even have a chance to reorganize the defense line." Tang Mo spread his hands helplessly, holding a cigarette between his fingers.

Roger still seems reluctant to just give up a bustling city like Bunas, and wants to continue: "No one will break through our defenses..."

"The war will be protracted! Your Excellency Prime Minister! At that time, we will have to continuously fill the trenches to consume our troops. This is obviously not what we want to see." Nangong Hongbang Tang Mo, who couldn't stand it anymore, continued to explain.

In his heart, he somewhat looked down on Roger's stubbornness, and felt that Roger was far inferior to himself in terms of talent.But Luo Jie is Tang Mo's confidant, and no one can surpass this position.

Therefore, even though he somewhat despised Roger, he still opened his mouth patiently, hoping to persuade Roger.

Tang Mo also said from the side: "Moreover, the war will destroy our industrial investment, and the lost factories will directly affect our war potential and weaken our production capacity."

"You know how many new weapons we have..." Roger still believed that with the advanced weapons and equipment of the Datang Group, it shouldn't be a big problem to keep Bunas.

Tang Mo was a little embarrassed, because it was the new weapons and equipment he developed that made the strategic depth between Yucheng and Bunas so small that it could be ignored.

If it is purely infantry, the distance between Yucheng and Bunas can be said to be very far, and the strategic depth is actually very sufficient.

But Tang Mo made tanks, trains and cars, and there were airships and planes in the sky, which made the strategic depth between Yucheng and Bunas a complete joke.

Therefore, Tang Mo could only continue to explain helplessly: "Yes, I know it. It is precisely because we know the appearance of future wars in advance that we pay more attention to strategic depth. If we do not have enough strategic depth, then the enemy's The bombers could blow us up overnight."

Roger also knew that it was impossible for the Datang Group not to sell weapons such as airplanes forever. After everyone had airplanes, the distance between Yucheng and Bunas could indeed be said to be insignificant.

The flight range of the planes departing from the territory of the Lions Empire can completely cover Bunas. For Bunas, which is full of industrial areas, there really is not much time to react.

Tang Mo also continued to say at this time: "Our anti-aircraft guns can intercept the enemy's airship, but if the enemy has planes, do we have enough time to react? In more than an hour, at most two hours, the enemy's planes will be destroyed." It can reach Bunas, and by then, will our factory be safe?"

Seeing that Roger was silent, Tang Mo continued to ask, "Even if we know that the enemy's plane is coming, do we have time to take off our own plane and intercept it?"

"This..." Roger actually understood Tang Mo's thoughts, and what he was still struggling with was his feelings for Bunas.

Seeing that Roger had been shaken, Tang Mo continued to remind him: "Roger, now that we are the masters of a country, we should look at the problem from the perspective of the whole country, and we can't just because we have feelings for Bunas. I was blinded by emotion."

"I understand." Finally, Roger agreed with Tang Mo's choice, and lowered his head to suppress his personal feelings for Bunas: "I will leave as soon as possible to Chang'an!"
