บท 239: Keep 235 for yourself

Clearly, those wealthy merchants and honored guests in the hotel, though seemingly influential, were not actually the ones in power. The truly powerful were already in Tang Mo's office.

The bearded envoy from Dorne to Brunas proudly assured Tang Mo, "Dorne's Fleet is ready, Lord Tang Mo. We can leave the port at any time and head to any location where you wish our warships to go. 20 first-rate warships, fully manned with sailors."

Upon learning that Tang Mo had canceled the banquet and declared that Great Tang Group's territory had been violated, he decisively sent a telegram back to his homeland.

The King of Dorne, upon receiving the telegram, naturally knew which side to take and immediately declared the Navy in a state of combat readiness.

At this moment, telecommunication demonstrated unprecedented power; less than an hour after receiving the message, a nation's king could order his troops to prepare for battle, something utterly unimaginable in the past.
