Chapter 96 (I)

Tang Long, who had been in the game cabin for several days, finally got tired of playing and came out to rest. Tang Long, who had just raised his head and stretched, immediately noticed that there were many large and small spaceships in the sky, busy landing and taking off. I couldn't help but mutter, "When did our place become so busy?" ”

The soldier beside Tang Long, who was probably also out to catch his breath, couldn't help but look around when he heard Tang Long's words, and found that he was the only one standing beside Tang Long, and couldn't help but hurriedly and respectfully said: "Lord, those spaceships are all suppliers of the lords of the fiefs. ”

"Supplier?" Tang Long was even more confused.

"Yes, since the Tang family is not responsible for the supply and rationing of the warships of the lords, the lords have to find the merchants who supply these materials by themselves. Every time there is a war going on, the conning tower of Zhongzhou Star is the busiest time. The soldier hurriedly told Tang Long what he knew.

As soon as Tang Long let out a sigh, Li Wu, who was accompanied by a few guards, appeared in front of Tang Long: "Lord, the command tower has come to ask if you have ordered 2 warships and 40 transport ships, if so, I want you to go and receive them quickly." ”

Tang Long asked as he walked, "Can't you just drive in?" ”

"The Tower of Conning says you'll have to register before you can let those ships in." Li Wu hurriedly replied.

"Alas, what a nuisance." Tang Long said so, but he still boarded the landing craft, although he felt troublesome, he also admired the loyal personnel on the control tower.

Donavan, who had already received the report, and his two sons quietly looked at the stereoscopic image in front of them, which showed two giant battleships with full barrels and 40 high-class transports that could be seen at a glance as high-class cargo.

After a while, Donavin sighed and said, "How much do you say these 2 battleships and 40 transports cost?" ”

Tang Hainan quickly estimated in his heart and then preemptively said: "That kind of warship is about two or three hundred billion each, and that kind of transport ship needs at least more than one billion." ”

"Well, that means that these alone cost nearly 100 billion Wulai coins, I don't know if you have thought about it, why does Tang Long, a guy from the Wanluo Federation, have so much net worth? And I asked our suppliers, they don't have this kind of battleship with all guns, so where did Tang Long buy it from? Speaking of this, Donavin glanced at his two sons with a flat expression.

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

Tang Naven and Tang Hainan both turned their eyes to Tang Haidong, and Don Naven 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 specially went to the Wanluo Federation once. Unexpectedly, Tang Long was still very famous in the Wanluo Federation, he not only forced a general of the Wanluo Federation to read, but also shot hundreds of officers without scruples. ”

Donavan nodded and said, "I know all this, so I have no surprise that he executed those retainers, and a person like him who is thirsty for killing will definitely not let go once he catches the mistakes of his subordinates." As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Hainan thoughtfully.

Tang Hainan's face was flushed and he lowered his head and kept silent, the reason was that he had pleaded with his father on behalf of Tang Long after he executed those retainers, but his father didn't react at that time, and he didn't even bother to ask, only saying that it was Tang Long exercising the power of being the lord. Now I know that my father has long known what kind of person Tang Long is.

Tang Haidong was stunned for a moment, it turned out that his father knew everything, thinking of this, he hurriedly restrained his smug look, and said respectfully: "Tang Long's net worth is about trillions of Wulai coins, and he can have so much money, mainly because he led the army to plunder the wealth of one of the richest gangsters in the Wanluo Federation at that time. At that time, it made the planet like a battlefield. ”

"Lead the army to rob the gangsters of money? He's a bold man. Tang Hainan muttered in surprise.

Tang Naven nodded with a smile and said, "Tang Long's economic source has been figured out, so do you know where to buy that kind of battleship?" ”

Tang Haidong didn't wait for his younger brother to speak, and immediately said: "You can go to Tang Long's supplier, since Tang Long can buy it from the merchant, then we should also be able to buy it from that merchant." ”

Tang Hainan, who had been rolling his eyes, suddenly said loudly: "Father, Tang Long has so much money, if he uses it all to buy warships, he can buy dozens of them, so that his strength will greatly exceed ours, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our family!" ”

Tang Haidong first wondered how Tang Hainan suppressed Tang Long, didn't he still praise Tang Long before? However, he soon 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 these, Tang Haidong couldn't help but think to himself: "Hehe, 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 want to support my brother!" ”

Thinking of this, Tang Haidong immediately said: "Brother, you haven't thought clearly, is Tang Long rich, or is our family rich?" Tang Long had to be responsible for both the expenditure of the territory and the maintenance of armaments, plus the taxes of his territory were so small that he could not make ends meet at all, and the money was used a little less. And we have 50% of the tax revenue of our direct territory and 50% of the tax revenue of other territories, so it can be said that the source of revenue is endless, and every month alone, we can buy several such warships. And most importantly, do you think it's so easy for civilians to become soldiers? It's so easy to train a soldier to become a battleship? Tang Long, who only has tens of thousands of soldiers, even if he buys dozens of warships, he has no one to drive them, and the battleships that can't move are not a pile of scrap metal, 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, I hope we can buy this kind of battleship in front of Caesar's house as soon as possible." Donaven stood up and patted his two sons on the shoulder.

"Yes, father." Tang Haidong and Tang Hainan hurriedly bowed and said.

The coast of Tang Long's territory was already surrounded by countless people at this moment, and the soldiers who had received orders earlier than the people had already taken the lead in setting up a human wall between the crowd and the sea. As for the speedboats of the Maritime Patrol, they patrol back and forth in waves on the sea.

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

From time to time, there were cheers among the population, which were made by seeing their loved ones among the soldiers lining up to board the battleship. And the soldiers who were in charge of serving as the human wall were silent, but from their burning eyes, we knew how much they envied the brothers who became battleship soldiers.

"Wow, this is the lord's battleship? It's magnificent, I'm going to be a soldier of the lord too. A child at the front of the line, poking his head out of the soldiers' walls and staring closely at the ships anchored in the sea, said to his father.

The child's father touched his son's head and said with a smile: "Okay, but it's better to become the lord's retainer, so that you can glorify your ancestors." After speaking, he also looked at those magnificent battleships with interest.

"Look! My brother is on the battleship too! A little girl happily pointed to a soldier in the distance and shouted, her cry causing everyone around her to look at her with jealousy and envy.

"I didn't expect the lord to have three such warships, I heard that each battleship has 3,000 cannons, so isn't the lord's cannon 9,000? That's more than the other lords' warship cannons combined. An old man sighed to the old man beside him.

The old man's old fellow continued in an expert tone: "What is this, didn't you see the ship behind the battleship?" That's called a transport ship. Do transport ships understand? It's the spaceship used to supply supplies, and the transport ships of the entire planet don't add up to as many as the lords. With these transports, the lord's warships can stay in space for a long time, and they can replenish ammunition at any time during the war, so they don't have to worry about running out of ammunition at all, and they can fight for a long time. ”

Chen Kang and Tang Long, who were standing at the command module of the Meteorite, quietly watched the lively crowd outside the window. After a while, Chen Kang smiled at Tang Long and said, "Your people are quite curious, and no one from other places will come to see this kind of excitement at all." ”

Tang Long handed over a glass of wine to Chen Kang, and he grabbed a carton of milk and sucked it. Chen Kang had long known from the information 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 of space to see it in their lives, and I believe it is the first time to see a battleship so closely." ”

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 those of us, it is very difficult for many people. Because there are many people who can't even eat, let alone go out to eat in restaurants. ”

Sensing Chen Kang's strange tone, Tang Long couldn't help but glance at Chen Kang and asked, "Huh?" Listening to your tone, it seems to be very touching, what comes to mind? ”

Chen Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't think of anything, is there still wine?" As he spoke, he raised his empty wine glass to Tang Long.

Tang Long nodded, and took a bottle of wine from his command room, which was also sent by Chen Kang, and handed it to Chen Kang.

Chen Kang poured himself a cup after taking it, and after tasting it carefully, he continued: "I'm just very curious, why is civilization so progressive, and the materials are very abundant, and there is no need to worry about any energy crisis and economic crisis in this era, but there is still a distinction between rich and poor, there will be power to fight, and there will be countless wars breaking out?" ”

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

"Huh? Standing on top of the same kind of ambition surname? Chen Kang asked puzzled.

Tang Long smiled: "Hehe, 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." At the same time, in order to show how different they are, they also create a hierarchy. That is, because there is an ambition to control and command the same kind, there will be a state, and because there will be a state, there will be war. Wouldn't that be nice, though? If human beings have no ambition at all, and everyone eats and sleeps when they are full, we humans will lose our enterprising spirit and will be replaced by other creatures who are desperately evolving sooner or later. ”
