"That's amazing! It's amazing" Li Tianhao, who saw this scene, couldn't help but applaud again and again.

His military ability made him understand the value of this firearm in an instant, although its range is not as good as that of a bow and crossbow, and its accuracy and penetration are not greater, but it can be compensated for with scattered surface kills, and more importantly, it is very convenient to use. A well-trained archer requires physique, arm strength, and a long period of good training to accurately hit the opponent at long distances, while this firearm only needs to be able to hold it to be able to master and use, which undoubtedly reduces the selection requirements for soldiers, and the value of this is self-evident. And Li Tianhao also noticed several other points: the projectile of the fire gun is easy to carry, even with gunpowder, it will carry far more than the amount carried by an archer, which means that its firepower sustaining ability is much better; The loud sound and flare of the firebolt can deal a huge blow to the enemy's psyche, and that alone has its own value; The firebolt is too wet to use on rainy days, but it rarely rains in Yaki, making it a great place to use it a lot.

Li Tianhao took the slightly hot firearm from Elda's hand and rubbed it and asked, "Brother-in-law, since you can bring me this firecracker, it means that you have successfully copied it, right?" ”

Elda touched the mustache on her mouth and smiled: "It seems that the temper of your subordinates has been touched thoroughly by the young master, yes, although the process is still quite torturous, but fortunately, the imitation is still successful." This time, I brought the workers who have mastered this skill with me. ”

"Then you can keep a batch for yourself. I don't want to care about this, I want your brother-in-law to immediately start secretly building an arsenal to specialize in the production of this kind of weapon, at least let the Li family's armed fleet be equipped with this kind of weapon! But you have to remember one thing, this matter is the top secret of the Li family's business group! No one except for the elder-level people is allowed to intervene in this matter! Those in the know, you must keep them firmly on your side until the mass production of this weapon is complete! Li Tianhao said solemnly.

"Yes, young master!" Elda said with her head down.

Li Tianhao immediately turned back to Pokel and Xie Wuda and said: "This matter is only known to a few of us, after you go back, Pokel, you will also start to build a secret arsenal to produce this kind of weapon, and Xie Wuda will be responsible for special scheduling of the financial problem, and the expenditure of this fee only needs to be reported to me alone." I need you to submit a report on production as soon as possible, and I need to be able to calculate the time to equip the troops and the time they can be put into battle! ”

"Subordinates obey!" Shevuda and Pokel bowed respectfully.

Li Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, this matter is over, let's go back to the city happily and have a grand banquet!" Everyone is waiting for you to tell them all the strange things of the sea, brother-in-law! ”

Looking at Li Tianhao, who was dancing on a horse, Elda asked Pokel quietly: "It seems that the young master is in a good mood today." ”

Pokel also replied in a low voice: "No, you don't know that the young master was like losing his soul in the past few months, but your arrival has lifted his spirit, and getting the fire gun today has sublimated his mental state." ”

Elda sneered: "I knew that the young master would be ecstatic as long as he saw this thing, even if he didn't admit it, it was useless, in fact, his talent for military command was better than his talent for business." ”

Unfortunately, Elda's welcome banquet was not as pleasant as Li Tianhao imagined, because it was at this banquet that bad news came from Arubania - Brooks was set up by King Dikar of Arubania, and the result of diplomatic mediation was that Prince Gilmus used his mother Sula as a hostage to lease the fortress of Baroud in Arubania as a residence, and Dikar also ended his asylum relationship with Gilmus. This is obviously not in line with Li Tianhao's original intention.

Seeing Li Tianhao's hand clenching the wine glass, Mo Kadu, who reported the situation, hurriedly explained: "Your Royal Highness, please calm your anger, this matter was only learned by the eyes of his subordinates, and the specific situation may not be determined until Lord Brooks's letter." ”

"That's not what I care about!" Li Tianhao's voice became a little excited: "What I care about is who put Brooks together!" Dicar? Or someone else? This move puts us in a passive position, and we lose the reason to declare war on Arubania without getting the results we want! We must get rid of this man! ”

At this time, Wei Song, who was sitting on the side, slowly stood up and said to Li Tianhao: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness, this is a good thing for us. ”

Li Tianhao was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

Wei Song smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, please think about it, although this method of Arubania can be called ingenious, it also fully exposes the problem of Arubania. Gilmus is a chicken rib for Arubania, and it is a pity to abandon it without meat. Gilmus has political value, but the price to pay for that value is something that Arubania cannot afford. Even Dicar II himself was well aware of this, and it is for this reason that they came up with this solution. This shows that Arubania has no intention of becoming an enemy of our country, and I am afraid that there are both reasons for the need to restore national strength and other considerations. At the same time, they also judged that we had just finished a long war with Yaki and needed to regain our strength, so they arranged for Gilmus to go to the fortress of Baroud, where the territory of Arubania was used as a barrier, and if we did not want to meet the Arubanian soldiers, then we had to attack the fortress from the sea. In view of the fact that it is very difficult for our armed forces in the waters of Diqiel to do so in a short period of time, if we need a few years of preparation, then the national strength of Arubania will also be restored, and then they will have the confidence to intervene in this matter. ”

Reminded by Wei Song's endless words, Li Tianhao suddenly came to his senses: "What Mr. Wei means is that if we want to attack the Baroud Fortress, then the best time is actually now?" ”

"Yes," Wei Song was visibly pleased with the speed of his reaction, "now is the time when the Arubanians least expect it, and Gilmus doesn't have any decent troops at hand, and we are also famous, isn't it?" ”

Li Tianhao suddenly perked up, and immediately said to Mo Kadu: "Send a letter to Brooks immediately, and let them return immediately!" Head straight to the Port of Arizenda and stand by! ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Everyone present at that time remembered this scene clearly in the future, and the caliber was the same - it was like Li Tianhao who was shining on his face again by the sun, the haze of the previous months was swept away, and the prince of Dils, who was galloping on the field in high spirits, was resurrected again!
