Tales of Soldier - Chapter 128

[Chapter 128 (1)]

Tang Long, who had been in the game cabin for a few days and became addicted to the master, finally got tired of playing and came out to rest. Tang Long, who had just raised his head and stretched his waist, immediately noticed that there were many large and small spaceships in the sky, busy landing and taking off. He couldn’t help but murmured strangely: “When did our place become so busy?”

The soldier beside Tang Long was probably also out to take a breath. Hearing Tang Long’s words, he couldn’t help but look around and found that he was the only one standing beside Tang Long. supplier.”

“Supplier?” Tang Long was even more confused.

“Yes, since the Tang family is not responsible for the supply and distribution of the warships of the lords, the lords have to find the merchants who supply these materials. Every time there is a war, the command tower of Zhongzhou Star is the busiest. time.” The soldier was busy telling Tang Long what he knew.

Tang Long just snorted, and Li Wu, who was accompanied by several guards, appeared in front of Tang Long: “My lord, the command tower has come to ask if you have ordered 2 battleships and 40 transport ships. If so, I want you to receive them quickly. ”

Tang Long asked as he walked, “Can’t you just drive in?”

“The command tower said that you need to register before those spaceships can enter.” Li Wu replied hurriedly.

“Oh, it’s really troublesome.” Tang Long said so, but he still boarded the landing craft. Although he felt troublesome, he also admired the dedicated staff on the command tower.

Donovan, who received the report early, and his two sons quietly watched the three-dimensional image in front of him. The image showed two giant battleships with full-body gun barrels and 40 high-level transport ships that were known to be high-quality goods at first glance.

After a while, Donnavin sighed and said, “How much do you think these two battleships and 40 transport ships cost?”

Tang Hainan quickly estimated in his heart and said first: “That kind of warship costs about 20 to 30 billion, and that kind of transport ship costs at least 1 billion or more.”

“Well, that means that these alone are worth nearly 100 billion Wulai coins. I don’t know if you have thought about it. Why does Tang Long, a guy from Wanluo Federation, have so much wealth? And I asked our Supplier, they don’t have this kind of battleship with all muzzles at all, so where did Tang Long buy it?” Speaking of which, Donnawen glanced at his two sons indifferently.

Tang Haidong saw Tang Hainan who had always had a good impression of Tang Long, his face was not very good-looking and he couldn’t speak, he couldn’t help laughing: “Father, Tang Long’s net worth is far more than 100 billion.”

Tang Nawen and Tang Hainan both turned their attention to Tang Haidong, and Tang Nawen asked with interest, “Do you know his details?”

Tang Haidong nodded proudly and said: “Yes, father, in order to investigate Tang Long’s details, I went to Wanluo Federation. I didn’t expect Tang Long to be very famous in Wanluo Federation. He not only forced a general of Wanluo Federation. Independence, and without hesitation, shot and killed hundreds of officers.”

Donovan nodded and said, “I know all this, so I have no surprise that he executed those retainers. A murderous person like him will definitely not let go once he catches the mistakes of his subordinates.” He glanced at Tang Hainan thoughtfully.

Tang Hainan blushed and lowered his head without saying a word. The reason was that he had pleaded with his father for Tang Long after he executed those retainers, but his father had no response at that time, and he didn’t even bother to ask, he just said that it was Tang. The dragon exercises the power of being the lord. Now I know that my father already knew what kind of person Tang Long was.

Tang Haidong was stunned for a moment. It turned out that his father knew everything. Thinking of this, he quickly restrained his smug look and said respectfully: “Tang Long’s net worth is probably in the trillions of Wulai coins. He can have so much money, mainly because of Led the army to plunder the wealth of one of the wealthiest gangsters in the Wanluo Federation at that time. At that time, the planet was made like a battlefield.”

“Leading the army to steal money from the gang? He is really bold enough.” Tang Hainan muttered in surprise.

Donnawen smiled and nodded and said, “Tang Long’s source of income has been clarified, so do you know where to buy that kind of warship?”

Tang Haidong said immediately without waiting for his brother to speak: “You can go to Tang Long’s supplier. Since Tang Long can buy it from the businessman, then we should be able to buy it from that businessman too.”

Tang Hainan, who had been rolling his eyes, suddenly said, “Father, Tang Long has so much money. If he spends all of his money on warships, he can buy dozens of them. In this way, his troops will greatly exceed ours, and I’m afraid it will be a big blow to our family. Not good!”

Tang Haidong first wondered why Tang Hainan suppressed Tang Long. Didn’t he still support Tang Long before? However, he quickly thought that Tang Hainan had a habit of cleanliness, and was disgusted by Tang Long’s greed for money and murder, so he turned to suppress Tang Long. After analyzing this, Tang Haidong couldn’t help but think to himself: “Haha, brother, you are still too tender. People who are greedy for money and murder are easy to control. You don’t support Tang Long, but I have to support my brother!”

Thinking of this, Tang Haidong immediately said: “Brother, you haven’t figured it out clearly, is Tang Long rich, or is our family rich? Tang Long is responsible for both the expenditure of the territory and the maintenance of armaments, plus the taxation of his territory. That’s it, it’s not enough to make ends meet, and the money is used a little bit less. And we have the tax of the directly affiliated territory and 50% of the tax of other territories. It can be said that the source of money is continuous, and the monthly tax alone can buy several ships. All kinds of warships. And the most important point is, do you think it is so easy for civilians to become soldiers? How easy is it to train soldiers to become warships? Even if Tang Long, who has only tens of thousands of soldiers, bought dozens of warships, He has no one to drive it, and the immobile battleship is not a pile of scrap iron, are you too worried?”

“You…” This time it was Tang Hainan’s turn to be speechless. Tang Haidong smiled smugly and turned his head away from him.

“Okay, now let’s go to Tang Long’s place, I hope to be able to buy this kind of battleship in front of Caesar’s house.” Donnavin got up and patted his two sons on the shoulders and said.

“Yes, father.” Tang Haidong and Tang Hainan hurriedly bowed and said.

The coast of Tang Long’s territory was now surrounded by countless people, and the soldiers who received orders earlier than the people had already built a human wall between the crowd and the sea. As for the speedboats of the maritime patrol team, they patrolled back and forth with waves on the sea.

There is no other reason why this area is so lively, because Tang Long, in order to show off, forcibly landed 3 battleships, including the Meteorite, and the 40 transport rooms on the sea near the territory, neatly arranged so that People watch. Of course, it is also to let the selected battleship soldiers get on board and familiarize themselves with the battleship.

There were occasional cheers from the crowd as they saw their relatives among the soldiers lining up to board the battleship. Although the soldiers who were responsible for the human wall were silent, they could tell from their scorching eyes how much they envy the brothers who became battleship soldiers.

“Wow, this is the lord’s battleship? It’s so magnificent, and I want to be the lord’s soldier.” A child at the front of the line, poking his head from the crack of the soldier’s wall, stared at the battleships moored on the sea. said his father.

The child’s father patted his son’s head and said with a smile, “Okay, but it’s better to be a retainer of the lord, so that we can honor our ancestors.” After speaking, he also looked at the magnificent battleships with interest.

“Look! My brother is also on the battleship!” A little girl shouted happily, pointing at a soldier in the distance. Her cry made everyone around her shoot her with envy and envy.

“I didn’t expect the lord to have three such battleships. I heard that each battleship has 3,000 cannons. Isn’t the lord’s cannons 9,000? It’s more than the sum of the cannons of other lords’ battleships.” The old man next to him sighed.

The old man’s old buddy continued the conversation in an expert tone: “What’s this, didn’t you see the spaceship behind the battleship? It’s called a transport ship. Do you understand the transport ship? There are not as many as the lords. With these transport ships, the lord’s warships can stay in space for a long time, and the ammunition can be replenished at any time during the war. There is no need to worry about the problem of running out of ammunition, and it can be used for a long time. ”

Standing in the command cabin of the Meteorite, Chen Kang and Tang Long quietly watched the lively crowd outside the window. After a while, Chen Kang smiled at Tang Long: “Your people are quite curious, and no one else will come to see this kind of excitement.”

Tang Long handed Chen Kang a glass of wine, while he grabbed a carton of milk and sucked it up. Chen Kang knew from the data that Tang Long didn’t like to drink, but liked to drink milk and juice, so there was no fuss.

Tang Long, who took a sip of milk, sighed: “No wonder they are curious. Most of these people have never been out in space in their entire lives. I believe it is the first time to watch a battleship at such a close distance.”

Chen Kang took a sip of wine and said with a smile: “It’s not surprising, although going into space is as simple as going out to a restaurant for us, but it is very difficult for many people. Because many people can’t even eat. Eat enough, let alone go out to a restaurant to eat.”

Feeling that Chen Kang’s tone was weird, Tang Long couldn’t help but glance at Chen Kang and asked, “Huh? It seems very emotional to hear your tone, what do you think of?”

Chen Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly: “I didn’t expect anything, do you still have wine?” He raised the empty wine glass to Tang Long.

Tang Long nodded, and the wine that was in stock from his commander’s room, which was also sent by Chen Kang, took a bottle and handed it to Chen Kang.

After taking it, Chen Kang poured himself a cup and tasted it carefully before continuing: “I’m just curious, why civilization has advanced so much and supplies are very abundant, so there is no need to worry about the energy crisis and economic crisis in this era, But there will still be rich and poor distinctions, there will be power struggles, and countless wars will break out?”

Tang Long thought for a moment and smiled: “I think this should be attributed to the fact that human beings are born with the ambition to stand on the top of their peers.”

“Huh? The ambitious nature of standing on top of the same kind?” Chen Kang asked inexplicably.

Tang Long said with a smile: “Oh, yes, it is because of the ambition to live better than others and surpass others that human beings will desperately increase their wealth and use various means to improve their status. In order to show how different he is, he created a hierarchy. That is, because of the ambition to control and command the same kind, countries appear, and wars occur because of the existence of countries. However, Isn’t this very good? If human beings have no ambition at all, and everyone sleeps when they are full, we human beings will also lose their aggressiveness, and sooner or later will be replaced by other creatures that are desperately evolving.”
