"It's seven days at most since I left. If you add continuous attacks, I'm afraid this number will decrease." Li Qing said.
"En." The lieutenant colonel nodded.
"I see," said the lieutenant colonel.
"In this way, I will send an infantry company and a cavalry platoon to support you. They mainly carry supplies, not go there for support." The lieutenant colonel said.
"This." Li Qing was a little worried, because the number of troops was too small.
"This is the largest force I can give you." The lieutenant colonel explained.
"But, okay." Li Qing agreed with some helplessness. Although Qin Jun had agreed to send troops, he still didn't know what kind of goal Qin would achieve.
"It's just that our people can't wait any longer. I'm afraid it will take a long time. We will lose ground at that time." Li Qing said.
"Okay. I know what you say." The lieutenant colonel said.
Regarding the matter of dispatching troops.The lieutenant colonel can only draw so many troops.This is the largest amount of troops sent within the scope of his duties.
Inside Li Xin's frontline camp.
"The federal government has promised to give us an interest-free loan and export tax rebates. The future benefits will be indispensable to us. I think we should actively send troops." A business representative said loudly, waving a telegram in his hand.
"Is the federal government really going to do this?" asked a middle-aged businessman standing up.
"Yes, whoever sent the most troops has made great contributions. The Ministry of National Defense will make an evaluation based on the course of the battle, and then convert it into a military exploit to reward us." The businessman representative said.
"If you don't believe me, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, the General Staff Department, a telegram from the Ministry of National Defense." The business representative said and handed the telegram to everyone.Everyone took the telegram and checked it one by one.
For a while, everyone was sure that this matter was true.
"Just, there is a problem." At this time, a young man stood up and said.
"It's impossible for us to blindly go for reinforcements. We need to have a battle plan. Otherwise, if we all work together, it will cause huge problems." The young man asked.
"The telegram has ordered Chief Li Xin to come to the unified command. We must first move to the location west of Mazha Mountain, and dispatch military missions according to the order of arrival time. That is to say, the further we go, the more benefits we get. That's it. Are there any questions?" At this time, the business representative asked.
Everyone dragged.
"Okay. Let's get started. Time is money." The business representative said.
"Quick. Quick. Quick." The businessmen began to react. They knew that this was a race against time.
Xianyang, Qin State.Shang Wen and Wei Liao walked side by side.
"The prime minister should be aware of the lack of a lot of mobile troops on the front line." Wei Liao said at this time.
"Yes, I know this very well. Our generals have approached me many times and asked for an increase in the amount of conscription, but I have refused." Shang Wen said.
"But Prime Minister, this is indeed a fact." Wei Liao said.
"I know this. We don't have many troops." Shangwen said.
"What I mean is that we can borrow troops, or recruit soldiers from other regions, such as Wei, Chu, or those from the new Qin who came to work in Qin." Wei Liao said.
"What do you mean?" Shang Wen stood and looked at Wei Liao.He felt that there was something in Wei Liao's words.
"It's not interesting, I just want to solve a problem." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen.
"I discussed a problem with the staff. They proposed that the Qin army needs to be adjusted, that is to say, a large number of Qin troops need to be withdrawn, re-equiped, and reorganized. After all, they have stayed on the border for too long. General Wang Jian was very worried, they had already started planning this matter last year, and the Prime Minister had also thought about it at that time," Wei Liao said.Shangwen nodded after listening.
"But this matter has dragged on for too long. There has been no news for a long time. Therefore, our people are beginning to worry about whether the situation has changed a lot. You know, the staff is very worried. Many troops have already After staying at the border for three or four years, many soldiers became sergeants. Most of them formed their own families in the local area. If this continues, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army will drop a lot. What's more, the supplement of recruits On the one hand. Anyway, there are many problems. We must consider the future of the Qin Army." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen.
"En." Shangwen nodded.
"Do you have a plan?" Shangwen asked at this time.
"Our plan is to use external forces as long as we can. We pay money and then switch to defend the Qin army's area. We can encourage them to expand abroad, allow them to establish their own colonies, etc. Anyway, we still have to rely on these bodies The prime minister will do it," Wei Liao said.
"En. I have thought about this matter." Shang Wen said to Wei Liao.But most of them are immature. "Shang Wen said.
"It is impossible for us to assign a large number of defense tasks to people from other countries, but we can allow them to enter outside our defense area and fight with a few nomadic tribes." Shang Wen said.
"It's just that, in this case, the military expenditures of various countries will also increase a lot. I am worried that they will not do this. After all, we have problems with the expansion of Qin, let alone them, and Zhao put 2 people on our border , our pressure is less, I think, is it really time for us to change people. We should let these old soldiers down, and then replace them with a large number of defensive troops, those new soldiers, and train them .Anyway, the staff department has been busy with this matter recently." Wei Liao said.
"En." Shangwen thought for a while.
"Let me think about it first. This is a big problem. You know, this is a small part of the overall national defense plan." Shang Wen said.
"If we do it hastily, I'm afraid it will have no effect." Shangwen said.
"The situation is like this, but I think it has a lot to do with the prime minister's competition for research." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen at this time.
"The prime minister has lost too many points in the military. Quite a lot of points have been lost from the army," Wei Liao said.
"A large number of soldiers of the Qin army could not be promoted through military merit, and the army was stationed outside for a long time and could not go home. There were also upgrades of weapons and equipment, combat missions, etc., all of which would make the military lose patience." Wei Liao said.
"There is also too little military expenditure. The generals complained a lot. If this continues, more than 20 tames will fall into the hands of the opponent. I think the prime minister should compete in this regard. After all, the military situation is right. We are very advantageous." Wei Liao said.
"En. Your opinion is very useful to me, but I still can't come up with a good plan, but this issue must be taken seriously." Shang Wen said to Wei Liao seriously.
"En." Wei Liao nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Minister, for reminding me." Shang Wen said.
"Thank you very much." Shang Wen shook hands with Wei Liao as he said that, Shang Wen felt that it was not very realistic to be able to win the approval of the competition all at once, because the entire military was very dissatisfied with Shang Wen's military expenditure.Some generals have gone to the opposite side of Shangwen.The chances of Shangwen winning over at once are not very high.Shangwen needs to adjust his policies.
Only then did Shangwen realize that he had lost too much in terms of military policy.
"Wei Liao told me all this. Only then did I realize that we have lost too much in military policy. Before that, we gained a lot of military training because we increased a lot in military expenditure. The army has expanded into three major branches, and the weapons and equipment have undergone great changes, but now." Shang Wenye.
"We suppressed military expenditure quite severely. For a certain period of time, military expenditure was less than one-fifth of education expenditure. At that time, the general was almost forced to mutiny." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"One-fifth is still more than the fees of each country," Shang Wen said.
"But general, the officers don't think so. They have never encountered such a thing." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Do those generals never compare?" Shang Wen asked.
"Now is not the time to think about this matter." Meng Yi said.
"We have to find a way to re-score in the hands of the army. Obviously, other parties, such as the Federalist Party, have noticed this problem. The army has more than 20 papers, which is equivalent to the number of papers in a federal state of Qin. We cannot Losing too much. Otherwise, it will be very bad for us. At least we have to get half of the tame." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"En. Half, I'm still thinking about whether I can get half of the tame. When Wei Liao mentioned this issue today, I realized the seriousness of the problem. I originally wanted to transfer Qin Jun back to reorganize , and then re-increase the combat effectiveness, but as far as it is concerned, it is estimated that it will be difficult to withdraw the troops, and I really don’t know what to do about other things.” Shang Wen said.
"Well. I feel that there is still time, and it's not too late. As long as we hurry up, we can do this." Meng Yi said.
"What I think is that at present, all countries should have an army in peacetime. The size of the army of each country is relatively small, and the military expenditure is not very large. And Qin may have to make corresponding adjustments. In this case, Qin The army may have a number of around 20." Shang Wen said.
