Chapter 49 49What are you doing?
Tiger still wanted his own pistol back, because at this moment, five identical revolvers were placed in parallel in front of the Earl.
Before seeing these weapons, the Earl did not believe that there was a pistol in the world that could fire six times in a row.
However, when he confirmed this fact, the smile on his face could no longer be concealed. Although Tiger said that Tang Mo could not mass-produce such weapons, even though he knew that even if Tang Mo could produce weapons, he would not be able to afford them...
But the fact is that as the earl of Beiling and the actual owner of Wolf City, he feels that he has a chance to win.
To be honest, he has never been so eager for war, because he has prepared everything, and he has seen the dawn of victory!
At this moment, he is really looking forward to the war breaking out on time, because in this war, he will win and have the opportunity to accumulate a larger family fortune during the war.
He has a strong partner, and Beiling will achieve unprecedented development. Using the war compensation and the new land that may be occupied, he can purchase more weapons and develop the power of the Earl of Beiling.
In short, it was a new world, and the pistols placed in front of him were the doors that the new world opened to him.
Of course, he still doesn’t know that the daughter beside him is thinking about the steam engine she has never seen before, and wondering whether the steam engine can work for her mine.
At the same time, she was still thinking about everything about Tang Mo, including the school he was building in Bunas, the land in the southern part of the Vicious Forest that he was reclaiming, his new factory workshop and the scale of his private business that could only be described as small. Armed.
She was still thinking about what Tang Mo ate every day, and even just now deliberately chose an apple that Tang Mo liked to eat as her dessert after lunch.
And she didn't know that Tang Mo in Bunas was thinking about the same thing as her, but the focus of what he was thinking was slightly different from what she thought: Tang Mo was thinking about how to turn the steam engine on Sold to Northridge…
For Beiling, Tang Mo was simply a magical boy who appeared at the most critical moment and solved Beiling's biggest trouble.
"Whatever he needs, we should try our best to come together and send it to him." Alice finally spoke and said to her father sitting behind the table: "Since we can't suppress coercion, we can only win over..."
"He is building a larger factory in Bunas, so we should give him what he needs most." Alice walked to the table, grabbed a heavy revolver, and played with it in her hand. .
This thing is actually not as magical as imagined, because after firing 6 times in a row, they still need a series of complicated reloading actions before they can continue to be used.
Therefore, compared with the K1 fast gun that fires one round and reloads one round, this revolver does not increase the overall shooting speed of the army much.
After comparing each other, including Earl Fisher, Alice and Tiger all felt that popularizing revolvers was of little significance.
Under the influence of this idea, Fischereau gave up his plan to equip the entire army with revolvers, and only planned to equip his own guard with 100 such firearms.
"He needs a lot of things, workers, materials, and land..." Tiger repeated Tang Mo's request with a big head: "Tang Mo's weapons workshop produces very quickly, so he needs a lot of raw materials to support it. His consumption. A large number of iron ingots, copper ingots... are all supplies he urgently needs. "
"Our mining speed is unlikely to be faster. You must know that our mine is already operating at full speed." Alice shook her head and said: "So, we need to squeeze out some resources for him from other places."
“There are two large-scale iron mines in Beiling, and correspondingly there are two large-scale ore smelting plants.” The little princess of Beiling said carefully: “We have one in our hands, and the Cyric Consortium has one…”
"Every month, half of the iron ore we produce must be sent to the Royal City and handed over to the kingdom for unified use, and Sirik's iron ore will also be transported away..." She said while looking at her father Count Fischereau.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, she continued: "We have already withheld the share for the kingdom, and can then hand it over to Tang Mo... I will also find a way to recruit some manpower to increase the mining speed of the ore as much as possible. "
"But this can only solve part of Tang Mo's needs." Alice glanced at Fisherow, and rubbed her slender fingers on her perfectly curved chin: "So, is it possible to give him a dozen Cyric’s Iron Works idea?”
"What do you mean?" Tiger looked at Alice, a little unable to follow Alice's thoughts - he couldn't think of any way to get the Cyric Iron Works to hand over its iron ingots.
“Let’s arrange a robbery! Robbery all the steel that Cyric has this month and put the blame on the bandits…” Alice said: “As long as we do it once, all the needs in a short period of time will be met.”
"This...this is not good...we, we are the defenders of order in Northridge." Tiger objected in disbelief. "You and I both know that Cyric has been trying to destroy our Ronin family and Northridge!" Alice frowned and said to Tiger: "At this time, if we still insist on our faith, it is really What an idiot."
She seemed to have made up her mind and looked at Count Fischereau again: "Father! We only have one chance. Once we lose the iron ore dug out for a month, Cyric will send more people and change the route. We will try again." , it’s not easy.”
"In fact, they have nothing to do against us. The war is about to break out, and the security at the border is out of control...Under this situation, they will not really attack us rashly without being prepared!" Alice collected before combining After receiving some intelligence, I came to a conclusion: "The army of the Kingdom of Susas has not yet been assembled, and the kingdom has not yet completed the weakening of our North Ridge. If something happens in this case, they will just stand still!"
"You're right, they won't do such a thing to disrupt their entire deployment for a batch of iron ingots." Fischereau nodded, then looked at Tiger: "If I leave it to you, how big will it be?" The odds of winning?”
"I lead 50 soldiers. If I use K1 fast guns and revolvers... it will be easy to succeed. However, the people escorting the goods and the convoy... are all innocent." Tiger thought for a while and said to Fischereau.
"If we operate it in advance...can we replace the manpower with ours?" Alice knew that this operation was a one-shot deal, so she didn't mind using the power installed in the Cyric Iron Works.
"Yes, they will definitely fall out in the future anyway, so it's not impossible to do something now." Fischereau also felt that since no one has fallen out now, direct control of the iron plant would be a problem, but he would arrange some of his own people to **** the goods, and then continue to The man and the convoy disappeared together, but the matter was definitely feasible.
"The rest will be easy to handle. Just send all the goods to Bunas and offset our payment." Alice ended the conspiracy with a smile.
She walked out of the room, leaving Tiger and Fischereau to discuss the specific operations, and walked back to the room alone.
She sat on a chair in the room and looked in the mirror, thinking about the various details of Tang Mo's actions that Tiger had described before.
That young man from Bunas seems to have a lot of business talent - the cunning skills he displayed when negotiating with the town mayor under the banner of the Earl can really be called a classic in business negotiation.
Alice, who has been working in this area, briefly imagined the process, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Following that, she remembered Tang Mo's efforts to build schools and recruit private troops while expanding the factory in Bunas.
Expanding factories and hiring some ranger mercenaries are actually easy to understand. Everyone does these things, so they are used to it. It takes more than a day or two for Cyric to raise weapons. Sometimes the combat effectiveness of these weapons is stronger than the regular army of the kingdom.
Even Alice understood Tang Mo's approach very well. It was also a prudent choice to ensure her own safety before doing anything at this time.
If Tang Mo has security needs, Alice is even willing to provide some necessary protection for Tang Mo, such as letting Tiger lead some soldiers to station near Tang Mo's weapons workshop to ensure that the arms supplier in Beiling can meet the deadline. Complete his production.
Private armies and building factories are easy to understand, but Alice doesn't understand why Tang Mo set up a school in his factory, provide better accommodation conditions, and improve workers' welfare.
Even, according to Tiger, Tang Mo also taught those students some strange things, including some weird chemical theoretical knowledge and many management courses.
It seems that Tang Mo wants to train the children who study in Tang Mo's school into all-round talents - he seems to hope that these children will have the ability to manage a factory or an army in the future.
Taken into account the two brand-new weapon products, the K1 fast gun and the revolver, the research and development capabilities of Tang's Weapons Workshop seem to be stronger than those of the established weapons and arms dealers.
Coupled with the mysterious, super-huge steam engine, and what Tiger described as a lot of matching machine tools...it seems that the workshop Tang Mo wants to build will definitely be a behemoth that can surpass Sirik's workshop.
Can we support such a behemoth with only Beiling? Alice couldn't help but think in her heart.
After much thought, Alice finally gave up. She looked at herself in the mirror, looking at the beauty with red lips and white teeth, and said to herself: "What on earth are you going to do? Mr. Tang Mo?"
