Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 288 Mr. Tang’s bad taste

 The day of an arms dealer is actually very busy. After understanding why his woman fought in school, Tang Mo has to rush to turn some of his drawings into cash.

 This is a very magical process. He needs to outline the drawings in his mind and then let professionals correct them to the extent he needs.

There are many professional draftsmen in the Datang Group. These people are all masters brought out by Tang Mo himself. Matthews has also done similar work for a period of time before.

Tang Mo is currently cooperating with the dwarves to provide a brand new weapon system for the dwarves' ice kingdom.

 This is a request from the dwarves. They hope to have weapons that are different from other countries. They believe that this can reflect the uniqueness of the Ice Kingdom.

Then, Tang Mo felt that exchanging a lot of blueprints for a lot of gold mines seemed a bit too "fooling" his big customers, so he decided to produce a few samples for the dwarves to take a look at first.

By the time this batch of samples was produced, news of the victory in the Battle of Dorne had been confirmed, and the whole of Burnas was singing and dancing.

Tang Mo grabbed a brand new rifle that had never been mass-produced in this world at the shooting range and showed it to the dwarf envoy.

 He pulled the bolt, making the gun click. The whole action is done in one go, which makes people look pleasing to the eye.

After completing a series of actions, he gestured to a standard aiming posture and introduced: "This is the brand new K4 rifle I built for the Ice Kingdom. It has different performance than the K3 rifle currently used by the Datang Group. By comparison, it is the most advanced bolt-action rifle in the world.”

"It uses another type of ammunition, with a caliber of 7.62 mm. The technology used is more advanced, the ballistics are very good, and the power is sufficient..." After finishing speaking, he showed the dwarf envoy how to load this weapon. The whole process was also Very smooth.

 Then, he handed the rifle to the dwarf envoy and asked him to operate it once. After several reminders from Tang Mo, the dwarf envoy completed the loading action unskillfully.

He put down the rifle in his hand and was very satisfied with the rifle that used metal fixed ammunition. He praised it: "It's wonderful! This weapon is really good."

To be honest, most of the Ice Kingdom's troops are still equipped with Cyric flintlocks, and this weapon has not had time to be replaced on a large scale.

 In today's Ice Kingdom, there are only a small number of the main troops, and they use needle guns purchased from the Datang Group.

The needle-fired gun is now clearly obsolete, because the Beiling Regiment supported by the Datang Group demonstrated a new rifle weapon on the battlefield, a new rifle that uses metal fixed-loading ammunition.

 Everyone is now very interested in this kind of rifle, and the Cyric Consortium has also developed its own similar weapon after acquiring a weapons production workshop from the East.

With such a background, it’s not surprising that the dwarves of the Ice Kingdom want to possess similar weapons—after all, they paid for it with gold mines, oil fields, and a port.

Tang Mo took the dwarf envoy to the open space next to him and introduced the new artillery to the bearded dwarf: "In addition, I have prepared a brand new 122mm caliber howitzer for you. This artillery is also more powerful. Advanced, with more charges, longer range, and more powerful firepower.”

This kind of artillery, Tang Mo used is not a new technology. It is not the famous 122 mm caliber Soviet artillery in World War II, but a Russian cannon that was finalized and produced in 1909.

However, even this kind of unadvanced cannon is still the best cannon that the dwarves can buy in this world.

Seeing the Datang Group's security force soldiers demonstrating the entire firing process and firing a blank bullet, the dwarf envoy fell in love with this seemingly powerful weapon.

He had already begun to imagine this weapon firing fiercely on the northern battlefield and routing the enemy.

So, he said excitedly: "You are really an efficient designer. We really didn't expect that you could design so many unique weapons and equipment for us in just a few days."

"Actually, it's more than that... I have improved the production line, which allows you to produce weapons and equipment faster, and also allows you to produce matching ammunition faster." Tang Mo continued, letting his customers feel that they spent money It's all worth the money.

 “Really...Thank you so much.” As expected, the dwarf was very grateful for this kind of meticulous and thoughtful service.

Tang Mo suddenly spoke to the dwarf envoy and said, "By the way, if you are willing to give your rifle a name instead of using our K series number, I have a good suggestion."

"Oh?" The dwarf envoy was stunned. He looked at Tang Mo and waited for Tang Mo to finish speaking.

Then, he heard Tang Mo continue to talk about the "name" of this rifle: "I personally call this rifle Mosin Nagant. How about it? Isn't it nice?"     Yes, he gave it to the dwarf. The rifle is actually a Mosin-Nagant rifle. He just took out the blueprint of this weapon and realized it.

The dwarf, who was completely unaware that he had been tricked, seriously thought about the name of the rifle: "Mosin Nagant... is a bit difficult to pronounce, but I think you have the right to name this brand new weapon."

"Similarly, my people have copied the drawings, including steam engines, various machine tools and equipment for the production of steam engines, including electric light technology, generator technology, telegraph technology, railway production supporting facilities..." I saw the other party repeatedly muttering Mosina Tang Mo was slightly satisfied with the name Gan.

His sudden bad taste is actually innocuous in the context of the entire collaboration. So he continued: "Basically, the technology and drawings that Datang Group has now are all here. Two whole ships, weighing several tons..."

There is no way, there are just a lot of blueprints for guns, and a thick pile for steam engines, plus related equipment, machine tools... The blueprints prepared by Datang Group for this transaction can be piled up for hundreds of dollars. A big box with a mouth.

"Then, sir... our sincerity is here too." The dwarf envoy took out a stack of contracts from his arms, placed them on the table, and pushed them to Tang Mo.

Harry opened these deeds with his hands and found that the top ones were five ownership deeds for the gold mines, including the miner slaves inside, the nearby land certificates, and some orders signed by the king himself, ensuring that Tang Mo could stay in the Ice Kingdom. Build your own railways, build roads, legally purchase land, etc. within the territory.

This is basically a modern version of an "unequal" treaty, which even sells part of the sovereignty.

 But because Tang Mo gave too much, the top brass of the Bingbing Kingdom no longer cared about the issue of sovereignty. It seems that they have indeed lost some sovereignty in some areas, but what they will gain is an unprecedented new and vast territory.

"By the way, all countries and all armies will shout slogans when they launch an attack... Everyone shouts long live, isn't it boring?" Tang Mo took the contracts from Harry's hand and turned them over at will. Then he asked another question that had nothing to do with trading.

"Sir, what do you mean?" The dwarf envoy didn't know why Tang Mo asked this, so he asked in confusion.

"What I mean is, I think that a unique charge slogan that is different from other countries and has more feeling will improve some morale and make his army more imposing?" Tang Mo put down the contract and Very satisfied with the dwarf's sincerity.

"Listen, it sounds...that's right." The dwarf nodded slightly and agreed with Tang Mo's words.

"So, I can give you an interesting slogan for free. What do you think...?" Tang Mo started playing pranks again.

"Although I can't make the decision, I do feel your kindness. So, what is the new slogan you mentioned?" The dwarf envoy did not agree immediately.

 “Ula! How about this?” Tang Mo clenched his fists and imitated a majestic shout, doing a little show.

"Ula? Ula! Ula!... I have to say, you are really an expert in war! I just shouted a few words and I felt that this slogan was very good... What does it... mean?" The dwarf envoy immediately asked Attracted by this slightly strange slogan, after trying it a few times, he looked at Tang Mo and asked.

“It represents the determination of the Ice-Cold Kingdom. It is harder than ice and colder than snow...” Tang Mo explained nonsensically.

　　After hearing Tang Mo’s nonsense, the dwarf envoy had no idea that this slogan came from the world before Tang Mo traveled through.

He was very interested in this slogan. He repeated it several times and nodded: "Ula... very good, really good. I will bring this slogan back to the Ice Kingdom, if our king agrees to use it. , we will pay an extra fee for it.”

 “No need, this...is given for free!” Tang Mo satisfied his bad taste and waved his hand generously.

The dwarf felt inexplicably happy and excited that he could get free things from Tang Mo: "You are really very generous! Sir."

Tang Mo turned around, faced the dwarf envoy and said solemnly: "The dwarf will be the strategic partner of Datang Group in the northern region! The only partner!"

The dwarf envoy also solemnly assured Tang Mo: "Datang Group will also be the most valued partner of the Ice Kingdom, or the Ice Empire in the future!"

 “Happy cooperation!” Tang Mo once again extended his palm.

 “Happy cooperation!” The dwarf also stretched out his hand and shook it with Tang Mo.
