Munitions Empire

Tang Mo finally managed to trick Yulin and rushed back to the Dragon's Den to find Yue'er - every scoundrel is a master of time management.

Especially a top-tier scoundrel like Tang Mo, who can legitimately keep two women in the same castle, obviously excels even more at managing his time.

His Rolls-Royce picked up Yue'er at the Dragon's Den, and the two of them went off to visit Dragon City University together - they didn't even stay for a meal at the Dragon's Den. Tang Mo said he wanted to take Yue'er to experience the cafeteria life at Dragon City University.

Yulin was so sweet and not in the mood to make Tang Mo uncomfortable, so she stayed at Dragon's Den and started to organize his work schedule.

The Great Tang Group, from any perspective, had already become a terrifying behemoth. Tang Mo had to deal with a lot of affairs every day, and if no one helped him, he might have just become a human-like automatic drafting machine.

Roger had been helping Tang Mo with his travel arrangements these days, and now it was Yulin's turn to take charge of this task. To be honest, the job itself wasn't difficult, so Yulin caught on very quickly.

Recently the Great Tang Group had a few important affairs to handle: first was the arrangement for the World Industrial Expo.

This included the opening ceremony, the exhibition venue arrangements, the hosting of the entire expo, and speeches at the closing ceremony, among other things.

Additionally, a highlight of the expo, or rather an event that was taking place in conjunction with it, was the first-ever car race.

According to the plan, car racing teams from the Ice Cold Kingdom, the Laines Empire, Dorne, as well as Shireck's clandestinely supported Gobur Kingdom, plus the Empire of Nanla... a total of six teams would participate in the race.

The race was an exhibition of technology, and the automotive department of the Great Tang Group took it very seriously. Tang Mo was also very concerned, so it was listed separately.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then there was the construction of the Jade City-class battleship; according to the schedule, Tang Mo was to visit the site in person and provide some guidance and opinions.

There was also the training of Air Force pilots, the training of Army tank commanders, and presentations of new weaponry...

Just looking at these myriad events, one could tell Tang Mo was busy. As Yulin looked at these dense arrangements, she was enveloped in a strong sense of sweetness.

Tang Mo was so busy yet he made time especially for her, taking her up to the heavens for a romantic confession.

If this wasn't love, what could it be? At this thought, a smile spread across Yulin's face. She appeared much more spirited than when she had left the Dragon's Den for the airport.

"Hey! Here's the information you wanted to look at!" Roger said, seeing Yulin stepping out of her gloom and piling a stack of files in front of her with a smile, "How about that? If you're tired, take a break."

"No need." Yulin, full of energy, made a gesture indicating she was fine and continued to dig into these confidential documents.

She had no idea how formidable the behemoth the Great Tang Group had grown to be until she started reading.

In the Ice Cold Kingdom alone, the Great Tang Group's investment had almost exceeded 10 million Gold Coins!

What kind of concept was that? Five years ago, the entire Leite Kingdom, with everything it had, might not have been worth that much! In other words, if someone offered 10 million Gold Coins to buy the Leite Kingdom, Leite VII might have actually considered selling his country...

And now, the Great Tang Group's investments in just one Kingdom had reached such a frightening scale.

Of course, this 10 million wasn't just cash; in fact, it was hardly any Gold Coins at all! In many places, it was technology shares or product-assisted investments that offset the investment amount.

For instance, the Great Tang Group would establish various factories in the Ice Cold Kingdom and then directly transfer these devalued factories over to Dwarves to manage.

Investments naturally seek return, and the payback for the Great Tang Group was boats of Gold, dazzling, real Gold!

In the underground gold vault of Dragon's Den, the total amount of Gold was almost close to 1,100 tons - and this figure was still rising.

Only those who have seen so much Gold can comprehend the wealth of the Great Tang Group.

How much Gold was this? During WWII, France executed Operation Fish, transporting all its Gold reserves out of the country before Germany took control, as a financial reserve for a future fight back to regain control.

At that time, as one of the European powers, how much did the whole of France have in Gold reserves? 2,226 tons! The Gold Tang Mo now possessed was nearly half of what France had in reserves during WWII!

Given time, the amount of Gold in Tang Mo's hands would become even more substantial. By then, no one would be able to shake his financial control.

Yulin had seen that Gold, more gleaming splendor than she had ever seen in her life. These gold bricks constructed into mountains, and right now, they were beneath her feet.

At this very moment, four heavy industrial bases were being built, located in Jade City, Ice Crystal City, Hotwind Port, and Eternal Winter City.

These massive bases encompassed almost the entirety of modern industrial production organizations: chemical plants, machinery plants, power plants, smelting plants, steel plants, machine tool factories...

Just in land area, these bases were larger than the cities of the past. To accommodate these behemoths, these cities had completely abandoned their wall defense systems.

Beyond these large industrial bases, the Great Tang Group had also built its own factories in the Empire of Nanla, the Laines Empire, the Suthers Kingdom, the Poplar Kingdom, the Songmu Kingdom, the Dorne Kingdom, and so forth.
