Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 92 92 Preparation for War

Just after the two people fell into silence, Tang Mo suddenly said: "It seems that the war may break out soon."

Alice was stunned. The intelligence she had received, as well as the situation detected by Count Fischereau, showed that the war might break out in the spring, not the current late autumn.

This is completely inconsistent with the common sense of using troops, because once the war enters winter, the two warring parties will be almost completely unable to expand the results of the war.

Of course, there are exceptions. If one party is well prepared and has sufficient cotton clothes and transportation, it may be able to gain an advantage in winter.

It's just obvious that neither the Kingdom of Wright nor the Kingdom of Susas has considered the possibility of fighting in winter in the past half year.

But at this moment, what Tang Mo said made Alice feel nervous. After all, she was no expert in this area, but Tang Mo seemed reliable.

Tang Mo continued: "If nothing else happens, the war will break out next month, or at the beginning of the next month."

 He judged based on his own intelligence and some clues. On the one hand, it was based on the statistics he obtained from the Silver Fox Tavern and the actual combat readiness of the kingdom. On the other hand, he sensed danger from this unusual equipment inventory.

In fact, Tang Mo only speculated that the kingdom was about to count its weapons. He only said this to scare Sauron and open the door to selling flintlock weapons.

 But Sauron's performance when he came here this time clearly proved another thing: the kingdom was indeed conducting a large-scale inventory of weapons reserves, and it was very strict.

His intelligence network has not yet covered the Leyte Kingdom, so Tang Mo still doesn't know that this review is obviously targeting Bunas. He thought that this time it was a nationwide clearance operation.

This misjudgment made him feel that the situation was more serious, and he instinctively attributed this abnormality to the conclusion that a war was about to break out.

 In fact, these were two typical misjudgments, which resulted in the correct result—Tang Mo unknowingly guessed the plan of the Cyric Consortium.

Alice was a little nervous, looked at Tang Mo and asked: "So soon? Can't wait until spring?"

"I don't know, but the sudden inspection of military equipment by the kingdom is obviously not a good trend." Tang Mo replied absently.

 What he is thinking about now is whether he has the ability to be prepared to deal with everything before the war breaks out.

At this moment, his cannon is still in the factory building, and his valuable soldiers, less than 600, are his only wealth.

Now he has to prepare the last batch of K1 guns for Beiling in less than a month, prepare all the weapons for himself, and then immediately go north through the vicious forest to join the war when needed.

Alice looked at the absent-minded Tang Mo and continued to ask: "Aren't they planning to betray Beiling? Why are they still actively preparing for war?"

Tang Mo sneered and answered Alice's question: "They just betrayed your father and did not intend to bury him with you. Theoretically, the Susas Kingdom's goal is Beiling, but if they are on the frontal battlefield The battle went so smoothly, do you think if you were the king of Susas, would you swallow up the Kingdom of Wright?"

This world is so cruel, every detail is calculated, and every omission may lead to death.

 Alice gritted her teeth with hatred, clenched her fists and cursed: "These **** bastards."

“Cursing won’t kill them... bullets can do that.” Tang Mo reminded her with a smile as he looked at the cute Alice.

Alice looked at Tang Mo with a bad expression, and her tone became extremely firm: "So we have to produce more bullets! Let those **** face a storm!"

This is what Tang Mo wants to hear most, and what the arms dealers most want to hear is "increase production." So Tang Mo nodded in agreement: "That's right! I hope Lord Fischereau can perform so well when he goes out to give a speech."

“Now that we are roughly sure that the war is about to break out, we need to make plans early.” He knew that the first battle for him to establish a foothold in this world was about to begin.

"I want to go back to Beiling...tell my father about this! We have to prepare in advance! I hope that before the war breaks out, you can send your army north to help my father win." Alice's beautiful eyes stared at Tang Mo, said calmly.

"As you wish, miss." Tang Mo behaved like a gentleman.

"Beiling will remember your friendship." Alice did not turn around, but continued: "I will too."

"That's my honor." Tang Mo looked at Alice's little face and had to say that it was a perfect face.

"Roger, you and Tiger will help me see Miss Alice off!" Just when something seemed to be happening, Tang Mo looked away and shouted loudly to the door, asking Roger to come in and see off the somewhat resentful lady. Alice. Then, he looked at Weiss and ordered seriously: "Call Loew, Redman, and Leo! Have a meeting!"

After finishing speaking, he walked back to the bookshelf he had just bought, and found a folded map of Beiling on top of a stack of books, which was not large or detailed.

This map is probably hand-drawn, and there is definitely a problem with its accuracy. But in this **** era, the only map Tang Mo could find looked like this.

 When he hung the map on the wall and took two steps back to look at it with satisfaction, Love and Leo followed Redman and Weiss into Tang Mo's room.

 Four big men plus Tang Mo immediately made the whole room seem crowded. Tang Mo motioned for a few people to gather around. He stood in front of the map and said, "I have come to you this time because I have some bad news to tell you... The war may break out within a month!"

"It wasn't this serious before..." Weiss was stunned for a moment, and then said with some surprise.

"We're not ready yet." Although the troops' training didn't last a day, Redman still felt a little rushed.

"I know." Tang Mo glanced at Leo, who was silent, and calmed everyone down before continuing: "Actually, there are various signs that our enemies are not well prepared for war. "

"All the intelligence we have obtained before, including some bits and pieces of information passed down by merchants, can prove that Susas did not prepare winter clothing before this, nor was he prepared to defeat Wright within a month. The main force of the kingdom." Tang Mo pressed his hand on the wall and scratched around the border.

At this time, Loew asked in confusion: "So, why did the other party suddenly accelerate and prepare to take risks?"

"I think... it might be because of us! The Cyric Consortium that was investigating us before must have done it. Becky is obviously a member of Gis. The investigation about Becky aroused Gis' vigilance. He He probably heard about the new weapons and had a feeling that delaying it would be detrimental to his plan, so he accelerated his war plan," Tang Mo explained to everyone.

“By some strange combination of circumstances, the war has accelerated on our side?” Weiss raised his eyebrows, feeling that the joke was a bit cold.

"Almost! So, we must prepare for war as quickly as possible!" Tang Mo looked at the four people present and said, "Our enemies are Susas and the Cyric Consortium. Have an absolute advantage in military strength.”

"According to information from Beiling, on the border of Susas, the Kingdom of Sussus has assembled 22 battalions and more than 7 legions of troops." He pointed to several marked points on the map and continued to introduce the battlefield. The basic situation: "According to the worst expectations, 4 of the legions are prepared for Beiling. The opponent has about 20,000, or even 25,000 people! Most of this force will kill from the east side of Beiling. Come along, along the road."

"In order to ensure logistical supplies and the convenience of setting up camp, the main force of the Kingdom of Susas will be stationed along the way. They will encounter Count Fischereau's troops around here." As he spoke, he pointed at a small plain. .

"In terms of military strength, it's about 1,500 people versus 15,000 people. Even if the count changes to the K1 fast gun, the disadvantage is obvious." Loew looked at the map and gave his own conclusion.

Redman thought for a while and expressed his opinion: "We have advantages. When fighting in this area, the frontal battlefield is not too wide! The Earl, who has the advantage in firepower, may block it. enemy attack."

"In addition, as a surprise force, the Kingdom of Susas does not know our existence, so theoretically, the other party does not know that the actual strength of Beiling is 2,000 people, nor does it know where our 500 people will appear." Tang Mo added: "And we are the key force that determines victory or defeat!"

“Surprise is good after all, and the 500 of us are all issued with K1 fast guns, so our combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary troops.” Redman looked at Tang Mo and made a relatively optimistic judgment.

Tang Mo did not hesitate and ordered Redman: "Go and send a signal to bring back the troops who have been suppressing bandits and training in the vicious forest! Redman! Assemble the troops... We must be prepared. Once the Earl calls, We are going to Beiling to help the count and ourselves win this war! "

"After we leave, Uncle Roger and Mr. Leo, it's up to you here!" Tang Mo looked at the two people who would not go out with the army and said sincerely.

Roger promised: "Don't worry! I will take good care of this 'factory'."

“I will sit here and send all the information to you.” Leo also promised.

Tang Mo nodded and told Roger: "Be as prepared as possible and let Bernard keep an eye on the fleet. That may be our other escape route!"

 “I understand!” Roger nodded again.

"We don't have much ammunition, so we must fight quickly! I hope the enemy will give us such a chance!" Tang Mo looked around at everyone again.

 “Secret weapon?” Loew asked.

“Bring the secret weapon, this may be the key to our victory!” Tang Mo replied immediately without any hesitation.
