Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 742 Chapter 742 Going Further

As far as he knew, both Nan Gonghong and Luo Jie were secretly involved in the hype of this matter.The voices in the army wishing Tang Mo to become His Majesty the Emperor were even more clamorous and overwhelming.

Many generals even talked about this matter in public, and everyone agreed to only call Tang Mo His Majesty, and never mentioned the word His Majesty the King.

In today's army, soldiers are no longer allowed to call Long Live His Majesty the King when they are charging. Everyone has unified their caliber and only call Long Live His Majesty or Long Live Datang...

With the help of almost everyone, the top officials of Datang gradually began to think about the beautiful life of their XX official in the kingdom after becoming an XX official in the empire.

Sometimes just a change of title will make people excited immediately, for example, one day a woman suddenly called her husband in bed...

In fact, at the macro level, the Datang Kingdom has long been the kingdom with the largest land area, the strongest economic strength, and the largest population in the world.

Measured in terms of overall strength, the Tang State already had the size of an empire, but it has never pursued the goal that many monarchs have wanted to pursue all their lives.

Reasonably speaking, after the Tang State occupied the Zheng State, swallowed the Qi State, seized the northern part of the Chu State, and dug away a large piece of the territory of the Dahua Empire, the entire land area is already a behemoth comparable to the Dahua Empire.

At the same time, with the support of the Datang Group, the entire empire's economy and industry have made amazing achievements, and to be modest, it is also leading the world.

Under such a big environment, who doesn't want their country to become a newly rising empire, and who doesn't want that wise and brave king to become a real emperor?
Of course, after the king became the emperor, wouldn't it be more fun if his prime minister could become the prime minister of the empire, and his minister could become the minister of the empire?

"I don't care. If I can send [-] tons more food to the front lines every month because I became emperor, I can immediately ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor." Tang Mo looked at his subordinates and said helplessly.

"But the problem is, whether it's a title or an emperor's title, it's actually a false name. It can't bring us any real benefits, so I don't think it's a good thing to rush to become emperor." He said, He spread his hands and explained to his ministers.

"Your Majesty, what will happen when it happens is a matter of course. What matters is to follow the trend." Nangong Hong cautiously advised: "Your enthronement and proclaiming the emperor will also be of support and encouragement to the subsequent work of the subordinates."

"Indeed, if we don't show our tough attitude, then the enemy will not take us seriously." Prime Minister Roger also agreed.

In fact, it's not that they are really obsessed with officials and spend so much time just for a name.The main reason is that proclaiming himself emperor is indeed beneficial in some respects.

For example, when Tang Guo faced the Dahua Empire, it nominally wanted to be naturally shorter than the Dahua Empire.This is etiquette, a "rule" that everyone adheres to in international exchanges.

Although in a certain period, the kingdom ignored etiquette because of its strength, and things that broke the rules happened, but the rules are the rules, and the etiquette is the etiquette.

The Kingdom of Wright is determined to become the Lions Empire, but it actually values ​​similar interests: Internationally, the weight of the empire is unmatched by the power of the kingdom.

Although the Datang Kingdom can show a tough attitude comparable to the empire by virtue of its strength, the name of the empire is much better than the kingdom.

The most crucial question is...why not?
Just like what Nan Gonghong said, it will happen when things are ripe, and there is no benefit in insisting not to become emperor. No matter how low-key Tang Mo is, it will not change the fact that he is not liked by others.

This other refers specifically to those old nobles, old merchants, and old landlords... In short, they are the beneficiaries of the old world order.

These people don't like him, resist him, hate him, and even want to kill him soon.Even if Tang Mo abdicates and ceases to be king, he is unlikely to change how these people think of him.

So, why not proclaim yourself emperor?
"Okay, since you've all made the matter come to this point, then go ahead according to your ideas." Tang Mo pushed the boat along.

Although everyone is in a hurry, the fixed procedures still have to go.The first thing is to ask everyone to make three requests and three concessions, to show that Tang Mo, the emperor, is well-received by everyone.

The emperor of this world is not like the emperor on earth, who needs some kind of power given by God, and needs to call himself the Son of Heaven.To put it bluntly, everyone's emperor's throne is created, and they don't need anything from others.

But on the other hand, since the emperor here was created by type, it needs to be recognized by external countries: if you don’t convince your neighbors, even if you become emperor, everyone will not recognize it.

This is the reason why the Lions Empire needs Tang Mo's support to become emperor, so that the surrounding countries affected by the Datang Group will all nod in recognition.

When it was the Tang Kingdom's turn, things basically followed the procedure: Tang's annihilation of Zheng was recognized by the Dahua Empire, the suzerain of Zheng, remember?At that time, Tang Mo paid some "price" for this.

Later Tang destroyed Qi and defeated the mirage country. In fact, he already had the capital to become an empire.It's just that in order to keep a low profile, Tang Mo gave up that chance to become emperor directly.

To this day, Tang State has become the most powerful country on the east coast of the Western Continent, and the elephant can no longer hide behind the mouse by keeping a low profile.

Therefore, the preparations for the ceremony of proclaiming the emperor should begin. At least a preparatory department should be set up, and everyone should start to study the details...

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to start preparing for how to send diplomats to make all countries surrender and recognize the existence of the Tang Empire after the war is decided, or after the Tang Dynasty wins.

On the other hand, it is necessary to gather people's hearts as much as possible, incorporate those areas that have just been occupied into the territory, and try to make people in these areas support their new king as emperor.

In short, this matter can be big or small, and the work can be more or less, all of which need to be planned and prepared.There is no rush, and it is impossible to rush.Because the omens of rushing to become emperor are not very good, the world of the earth is like this, and so is this world.

"Your servant understands!" Luo Jie smiled when he heard that Tang Mo agreed to this matter.His greatest wish was finally on the agenda.

Back then, he had a good relationship with Tang Mo's father, Tang Qi, and he always regarded himself as Tang Mo's half elder: his greatest wish after the establishment of the Tang Kingdom was to push Tang Mo to the throne with his own hands one day and achieve immortality!

Although all of this is the result of Tang Mo's own efforts, it is indeed his dream to be able to play his own role and help his old friend's son become an emperor that he had never even imagined before.

Nangonghong also breathed a sigh of relief: he was really worried that Tang Mo would reject the proposal to become emperor again.You must know that his dream all along is to assist Ming Jun to achieve an immortal prosperity, and now being able to push Ming Jun a step further will definitely bring his dream one step closer.

……

Next to the winding road, there is an endless railroad track. Trucks are moving on the road. Next to these trucks is a train that is moving slowly.

The soldiers on the truck looked curiously at the passing train and the flatbed carriage covered with canvas.

According to the outline, everyone can guess that these canvas-covered weapons and equipment are all tanks.Because it is taller than the assault guns they have seen, and it also has a long barrel that looks very mighty.

Judging from some details, these are some new tanks that they have never seen before, because the exposed parts are completely different from the No. 4 tanks they often see.

The new tank has staggered road wheels, wider and stronger tracks, and an interesting looking sloping front armor plate.

This is the so-called No. 5 tank sent to the front line with the armored forces, and of course it is the mass-produced Panther tank.

Trailed howitzers were pulled behind the trucks that followed the train to the front line.These 105mm howitzers are full of artillerymen, bumping along the smoke-filled road.

This is not a comfortable thing, because there are too many advancing troops, and the dust raised up almost blocks the sky, and people can't help but wrap their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.

However, compared with those infantrymen who walk on the roadbed, artillerymen who have a seat and do not need to walk by themselves are very lucky.

Those infantrymen who were not fit to walk had to endure not only the dust kicked up by the trucks, but also the ravages of the long journey on their legs.

The two divisions of the Tang Army met in this way during the transportation, and they looked at each other, forming such a spectacular scene.

In the sky, dozens of Stuka dive bombers that had just completed their bombing missions from the front were returning, and they could clearly see the advancing friendly troops on the ground.

Even if you don't drop the altitude, you can easily judge that there are more than 1 troops marching just by looking at the conspicuous smoke and dust on the ground.

Behind the No. 4 assault gun belonging to the infantry, there are various armored vehicles, some are armored vehicles carrying infantry, some are self-propelled artillery, and some are towed Bofors anti-aircraft guns responsible for air defense.

The command vehicle, which is much larger than ordinary vehicles, is very easy to identify even in the air.This special vehicle is converted from an oversized truck.

It is bigger than a truck, has a more complete compartment, the steering mechanism is specially designed, can carry four radio stations, and has its own independent generator supporting facilities.

What's more exaggerated is that it has an independent lounge for the commander to rest: although it is not big, it has a camp bed.

This kind of command vehicle became very popular after it was mass-produced, and it has been popularized to division-level combat units.When driving, those thick radio antennas shake back and forth with the bumps of the vehicle, which can be seen from a distance.

The next one will be later, so you can watch it tomorrow morning.
