Munitions Empire

Chapter 547 510 Sixth Sense_4

The more the Dahua Empire understood the technological advantage of the Great Tang Group, the more they felt that going to war with the Great Tang Kingdom was not a good choice.

In such an atmosphere, Emperor Zhao Kai of Dahua, who was eager to regain face, no longer even had the mood to clamor for war with Great Tang.@@@@

"The state letter I submitted...Prime Minister, you must have already read it..." the envoy from Laines said with utmost respect.

Chu Muzhou nodded affirmatively and said, "Indeed, I have read it. The cooperation between our two countries is unproblematic, and His Majesty the Emperor is very willing to become allies with the powerful Leines I."

After all, it was only a matter of intent for cooperation, such things came at no cost, merely a matter of saying a few words over drinks, patting each other on the back, and acknowledging friendship; it wasn't something to take seriously.

"Furthermore, our country wishes to establish a consulate in your country to handle future communications..." the envoy from Laines tentatively inquired.

"There's no problem with that, we've even already selected a location," Chu Muzhou didn't mind offering a mansion to retain the envoys of the Laines Empire.

Telegraphs were no longer a novelty in Dahua, and producing telegraph machines was no technical challenge for Shireck. In Chu Muzhou's view, as long as communication was smooth, it would be beneficial for the Dahua Empire to form an alliance with the distant Laines Empire.

The bartender immediately began to explain, "It's been filtered by the Electronic Surveillance Department. Recently, the telegraphic communication between the Dahua Empire and the Laines Empire has become frequent, and most of the messages are encrypted."

"Can they be decrypted?" Tang Mo seemed to guess some of the content in the telegrams, tapped the report in his hand twice, producing a crisp sound.

"The code they're using is complex, and we haven't been able to decrypt it yet," the bartender apologetically answered. "But one thing is for sure, the communication is official, not some merchant's bad taste."

"Interesting, things are getting more and more interesting," Tang Mo stroked his forehead with his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips. "I hadn't expected that without me interfering, others would take the initiative to target me first."

Although there wasn't any evidence yet to suggest a conspiracy between the Laines Empire and the Dahua Empire against the Great Tang Kingdom, Tang Mo still instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

This might just be the sixth sense developed from years of scheming against others—sharp and unreasonable.
