Chapter 301 The Sea (Thirteen)

Li Ming sneered, turned his head and stared at Zhao Tongshu: "Don't treat the Tang Dynasty as the Great Su. My Tang Empire can be used with it. The kind of automatic walking car you mentioned is also available in the Tang Dynasty. We call it a car, and you will have a new term to use in the future."

Zhao Tong's eyes widened. He looked at Li Ming in surprise and stammered: "How...how is it possible? You guys, too? Then... Then the emperor came here in that kind of car?"

Li Ming laughed and said, "This place does not have the kind you said. What kind of thing? I can't remember clearly. We call that kind of fuel gasoline. Haha, you have learned another term. Let's do this, our meeting today ends here, and you know what I mean. Send this back to your country. Let your emperor know that I will never agree to the past agreement. Agreeing to let you trade gum as usual is my greatest concession. Those weapons and armor are ready, and you can come to you at any time. Such a decision is believed to be beneficial to both countries. The strength of the Tang Empire is not comparable to you. Just by these unique abilities of our soldiers, you will not have any chance of victory. Therefore, I advise your emperor not to fight with my Tang Dynasty for gum. Do you understand?"

The cold sweat on Zhao Tong's face began to drip down, and Li Ming's decision made him unacceptable. However, he and his subordinates had no ability to resist in front of Li Ming, and there was no way to not agree. Now, we can only write to the country as soon as possible as Li Ming said, and wait for the emperor's decision.

Seeing that Zhao Tong didn't say anything, Li Ming stood up and said, "Since you have no objection, then we have decided like this. You will set off tomorrow and take my intentions back as soon as possible, so as not to have any unpleasant conflicts between the two countries. Zhao Hui, tomorrow you will lead hundreds of soldiers to escort them to the beach, and leave the matters of this place to others first."

Since Li Ming's decision had been made, no one present dared to say anything. At Li Ming's instructions, the invisible secret guards untie the acupoints of those under Zhao Tong's men, but at the same time, they also seized the pistols in their arms.

Seeing this magical ability, Zhao Tong and the others did not dare to ask for a pistol to return. After saying goodbye to Li Ming, they walked out of the room with frustration.

Early the next morning, Li Ming came to Zhao Tong and his team's station to see them off. This time, Li Ming brought the twelve snipers by his side. Zhao Tong looked at the Type 95 rifle tightly in the sniper's hand, and his face suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, what is your subordinates holding?" Zhao Tong and Li Ming asked stammeringly after seeing him, pointing at the rifle.

Li Ming smiled slightly and replied: "That thing is only used for low-level soldiers. In the Tang Dynasty's troops, most of them are high-level soldiers and have the ability to kill the enemy with no hands. However, there are still a small number of soldiers who cannot do this. In order not to affect the overall combat capability of the troops, they have made this weapon for them. Although low-level soldiers equipped with this weapon are still far from being the opponent of high-level soldiers, it is enough to deal with countries like Dasu. Why, do you want to see it?"

Speaking of this, he nodded at a sniper next to him.

Upon receiving Li Ming's instructions, the sniper raised the rifle in his hand, and shot a shot at a tree more than 100 meters away without aiming. As the crisp gunshots fell, a black shadow fell. The sniper put away his rifle and soared into the air, rushing towards the direction where the black shadow landed. This sniper was one of the earliest guards to follow Li Ming. He had already achieved certain attainments in light skills. The leap was more than 20 meters away. Zhao Tong's knees softened and hurriedly supported a subordinate next to him, so he did not make a fool of himself again.

The sniper quickly returned with a unique local bird, kneeling on one knee and handed it to Li Ming. The bird's head had been knocked off by a bullet. Li Ming smiled faintly, reached out and handed it to Zhao Tong, and said, "This ability to rely on weapons to kill people is the least in the Tang Dynasty troops. Real soldiers must rely on their own abilities to kill people."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the thin and dry old chef beside him and said, "Just like him, he looks unpretentious, but in fact he is a member of the senior soldiers in the Tang Empire army. Do you want to see his abilities?"

In Zhao Tong's inexplicable horror, the old chef waved his hand gently at him, and all the trees within a hundred meters ahead of him quietly turned into powdery debris, floating all over the floor.

This time, not only Zhao Tong and his men collapsed on the ground, but even Zhao Hui and the 200 accompanying soldiers were frightened to the point of being so scared that they looked like earth. Many of them even caused incontinence.

Seeing that the expected results had been achieved, Li Ming smiled with satisfaction and reached out to help Zhao Tong who was slumped on the ground. He said warmly: "My Tang Dynasty can destroy the 1.2 million Da Su army overnight, relying on these high-level soldiers. These talents are unique to my Tang Dynasty and cannot be found in other places. I hope you don't mention this matter to your emperor. After all, in your eyes, these things are beyond imagination. If you mention it, your emperor may think that you are confusing the public. I am for your own good and hope you can understand. For your safety along the way, I decided to send six low-level soldiers to escort you. Don't look at only six people, their strength is equivalent to the six thousand soldiers of the Great Su country."

Zhao Tong tried his best to stabilize his body, and looked at Li Ming in front of him with a pale face, unable to say a word.

After seeing off these envoys from Datong Country, Li Ming hurried back to the rubber-cutting station, where a climax of learning new rubber-cutting technology had begun.

Before Li Ming's troops arrived, Li Ming still needed to rely on these soldiers from the Great Soviet Kingdom to maintain order here. Therefore, under his instructions, each soldier received a reward of two taels of silver. For the time being, Li Ming controlled this important resource base.

What Li Ming is worried about now is the desert. It has been three days since he has not yet obtained any contact with it. This makes Li Ming extremely anxious. After dealing with the matter here, he immediately called the intelligence personnel on the edge of the desert to let them venture deep into the desert and find out the information there.

After dealing with the matter on the desert, Li Ming immediately sent a message to Wang Wen again, asking him to use the remaining eleven airships to quickly transport 500 soldiers to this place. At the same time, he called Gao Wei and asked him to send dozens of factory personnel with management experience to come here to receive management tasks.

Five hundred soldiers were easy to deal with, and eleven airships could be transported within three or four days, but the managers were not so fast. Even if they used the airship, it would take more than ten days. Therefore, Li Ming was not going to stay here. His purpose had been achieved, not only proved the existence of the rubber tree, but also successfully scared away the envoys of the Datong Empire. The rubber resources here have completely become his belongings. As long as they are well managed, I believe that a large number of natural rubber products can be provided for him in a short period of time. Now, the vehicles he produced will not have to worry about using tires.

Everything about the arranged garrison was left to guard the place the next day, Li Ming left six other snipers to guard the place. He led three airships and flew towards the direction of the sea under the leadership of Wang Ting.

The six snipers who escorted Zhao Tong were actually the surveillance personnel sent by Li Ming. Every day, they would send Li Ming over to Zhao Tong and their walking direction and abnormal situations. Through these people, Li Ming had already mastered all the news about Zhao Tong and others.

After the airship flew in the sky for five hours, Zhao Tong and the others appeared below them. It seemed that their itinerary was very hurrying. The strange-shaped carriages were rushing in front, and the guards were chasing desperately behind them. It seemed that Zhao Tong and the others were really home.

Li Ming did not alarm them. The airship quietly flew over their heads under the cover of dense forests.

At night, the airship stopped over a dense forest. According to Wang Ting's judgment, he could reach the long-awaited beach in Li Ming after another three or five hours tomorrow.

After having a marching meal on the airship, Li Ming began to receive information from various departments.

After receiving Li Ming's order, Wang Wen had already sent an airship to set off that day. The personnel who drew the map had given specific locations. In two or three days, five hundred infantry could officially receive the rubber field. Gao Wei had also prepared relevant personnel. After Wang Wen's airship returned, he could pick them up to the rubber field. Li Ming no longer had to worry about everything in China.

After dealing with some things normally, Li Ming urged Yi Yi to contact the desert again.

While waiting anxiously, Yi Yi called in front of the radio station for more than an hour, but at that specific frequency, it was still silent, which made Li Ming feel anxious.

The contact was unsuccessful that night. Early the next morning, Li Ming had no choice but to order the airship to continue moving forward.

The airship flew in the sky for more than three hours, and finally, a blue color appeared on the distant horizon. This color blended with the blue sky and looked extremely beautiful. If it weren't for this psychological preparation in advance, no one would have realized that it was the sea that Li Ming had been looking for for a long time.

The excited people squeezed into the porthole, and admired the increasingly clear blue area, all of them grew up inland. They had ever seen such a scene, staring at the front, afraid that they would miss a little of the scene when the sea appeared.
