"However, how much does it cost? It costs a lot to support such a group of people to fight. Today I received a reminder from the bank. Now that there is such a large demand for funds, I have no choice." The major said in embarrassment. arrive.

"Well. I know all of this. We can think of other ways. Maybe at a certain time, we will be able to make more money." The middle-aged businessman encouraged.

"The bank is pressing for payment, how to solve this problem?" the major asked at this time.

"We support those damned Huns. The northern nomadic tribes went to the Western Regions. We have already spent a lot. Up to now, we have not made a profit. We simply don't have the money to continue this way." The major said.

"Okay." The middle-aged businessman nodded.

"We can mortgage our shares to the bank. This may be the best way." The middle-aged businessman said.

"En." The major nodded.

"We should make a profit. If we don't have money, we can't do anything. We are here to make money. We can't do anything if we don't keep sending money in." The major complained again.The middle-aged businessman just waved his hand and asked them to keep fighting.don't get angry.The more anxious you are at this time, the harder it is to gather money.

In the northern border of Qin State, inside Li Xin's headquarters.

"The higher authorities agreed to let us build a large number of strongholds, but the establishment of these strongholds is somewhat difficult." Li Xin said worriedly.

"En." The chief of staff nodded.

"The required cost and the ability to supply logistics, this makes us very embarrassed." The chief of staff said.

"Yes. It is impossible for the higher-ups to give us more funds to complete these things." Li Xin said.

"Sir, I think there is a problem that we need to point out. We have to think about it." The chief of staff said at this time.

"What?" Li Xin asked at this time.

"Building a stronghold should be a businessman's business, not our Qin army's business. We don't need to pay for this expense. We can provide some defensive weapons such as mines and barbed wire. For the rest, we can The quantity provided will not be too much," Li Xin said.

"En." Li Xin nodded.

"According to the logic, their businessmen all come here to make money. When they make money, they naturally have to invest some money and some costs. We are here to protect the security of Qin's western border. It is already our responsibility to build a stronghold for them. It's superfluous. But things can't be done like this." Li Xin said.

"If these strongholds do not have the support of Qin Jun, if they do not support, these merchants will not get what they want, what will happen?" Li Xin asked at this time.

"You should be very clear about the situation," Li Xin said.

"En." said the chief of staff.

"However, in this case, it will cost a lot, and the construction of the railway is also difficult. You must know that if our strongholds stay and defend, we need a lot of materials. Moreover, these strongholds have many Strong commerciality, the transportation volume of materials, and the amount of hoarding will be very large. At present, our transportation situation is not good at all. The transportation of horse-drawn carriages is very limited. The use of motor vehicles can increase the transportation volume, but the pressure of fuel and logistics supplies It will be very huge. This is a big challenge for us." The chief of staff said.

"Huh." Li Xin exhaled.

"There is no way to do this." Li Xin said.

"This is no longer something that our 4 or [-] people can solve," Li Xin said.

"We need to build strongholds, and we need funds. There is still a lack of a lot of funds. How can we give us so much power to do these things? In my opinion, we need to gather those businessmen. Some solutions." Li Xin Speaking of.

"Yes, sir," said the chief of staff.

"I'll go and notify right away." The chief of staff said and left to notify the businessmen to send someone.

Xianyang, Qin State.

General Staff, Special Conference on Military Technology.

"Everyone knows the current situation of Qin State." Wang Jian introduced it as he walked around.

"Qin's military fee has been reduced again and again, and the reduction is no longer possible for the Qin army to fight a large-scale battle. It takes a long time for the higher-ups to consider a battle at the level of a one-hour service." Wang Jian said.Hearing this, some officers felt aggrieved.They thought it was the prime minister's intention.

"I know what you think. You think the prime minister did it on purpose. He deliberately cut down our military expenditure." Wang Jian said at this time.Some officers nodded.

"I can't blame the prime minister for these things. The prime minister is in charge of economic affairs. If the military expenditure is too large, it will cause the overall decline of Qin State. Everyone here has their own families. If Qin State's economy fails, it may be a burden. .So, can your family, your family members, and relatives still live well?" Wang Jian asked.

"No." A mid-suspended officer replied.None of the other officers answered.

"No. That's right. Since it can affect our family, there is no reason to be aggrieved." Wang Jian said.

"Okay. The topic is far away. This time, we are holding a weapon research conference. As far as the current situation is concerned, the size of the Qin army is controlled at about 25. An army of this size is not enough for Qin, but it is used for national defense. Safety is barely sufficient. However, under such circumstances, we still have to make some plans for the future." Wang Jian continued.

"As we all know, since the prime minister came to power, Qin State has won many wars relying on advanced weapons. Therefore, the Qin Army attaches great importance to the research of weapons. In the future, the Qin Army's weapons will be updated, but at a slower pace. Some, but we should pay attention to a few points." Wang Jian said.

"For a period of time in the future, weapons will develop rapidly. Therefore, it is very necessary to determine the direction of weapon development, conduct some training according to future expectations, and prepare a new combat team." Wang Jian said.

"So, let's talk about it, how will the Qin army's weapons develop in the future?" At this time, Wang Jian handed over the topic to everyone.

"General, I think so. The Qin army's current weapon development is roughly divided into two types." At this time, an officer in charge of weapon research stood up and said.

"En. Let's talk." Wang Jian sat down and waved for the other party to continue.

"The Qin army's weapons should be divided into two types. One is light weapons. This type of weapons is the weapons used by our infantry today, such as rifles, pistols, mortars, and light and fast-moving infantry artillery." The officer said.

"The other category is heavy weapons. The weapons are heavy fortress guns and howitzers. These weapons are powerful enough, but their mobility is relatively poor, and they mainly rely on railway transportation." The officer said.

"General, these cannons are powerful enough. As long as there is a city wall, nothing can stop the cannons hitting it." Another officer said.

"These are all currently equipped, but in the future, what kind of weapons do we need in the future, that is, what do we need in the future, and what kind of weapons do we need in the longer term?" Wang Jian asked. .

"Have you ever thought about these things? You may or may not have thought about these things, but don't forget. If our weapons cannot adapt to the battlefield, then the situation will be very unfavorable to us." Wang Jian said arrive.

"It is foreseeable that in the future, the main weapons and equipment of our Qin army, especially artillery or firearms, will not develop too much, but we need to consider the weapon vehicles we take." Wang Jian said.

"This is mainly based on the assumption that the main combat targets of the Qin Army may be nomadic tribes for a period of time in the future. Their weapons are backward and they will not be able to form a huge overwhelming advantage over us. On the contrary , Our weapons are far greater than the opponent in terms of distance and power, and the combat capability of our company is greater than that of thousands of nomadic cavalry." Wang Jian said.

"It's no exaggeration to say that as long as the terrain is properly defended, our single battalion may defeat tens of thousands of nomadic tribes. In terms of the power of weapons, we don't have to think too much about it," Wang Jian said.

Yang Duanhe nodded.After the other officers heard this, they also began to nod their heads.Regarding Wang Jian's statement, they believe that it is generally agreed that the Qin army that has already used firearms is much higher than other armies. This advantage in weapons has caused the Qin army to often win overwhelming victories. There is no need to prove this. up.

"However, these weapons do not meet the current needs of the Qin army. These weapons require a large amount of logistical supplies. Our logistical supplies currently rely on railway transportation. Without logistical supplies, the consequences will be very difficult." Wang Jian continued.

"In addition, powerful weapons, such as fortress guns, can blow up a company with one shot. But their mobility is very poor, and they rely heavily on railways. Some fortress guns can't move at all⊥companies For railway transportation, the artillery must also be disassembled and transported away. For us, these things are both an advantage and a disadvantage.” Wang Jian said.

"In the future, the opponents that the Qin army will face may suddenly attack. The Qin army is not prepared, the reserve troops have not entered, and how to deploy them quickly is a threat to the Qin army. We must be soberly aware of this Arrived." Wang Jian said.

"Then, General, what kind of weapons do we need in the future?" A centrally suspended officer boldly asked.

"It's very simple. A fast and highly maneuverable weapon," Wang Jian said.Wang Jian has been keenly aware of what kind of weapon the Qin army needs in the future. The current Qin army's weapons are powerful, but the mobile rifles weakened the overall mobility of the Qin army when increasing the power of the weapons.

"Don't we have cavalry?" an officer asked.As soon as the officer proposed, everyone started to drag. Obviously, these people are engaged in such weapon research, and they already know that the cavalry can no longer meet the needs of the Qin army.

The Qin army’s logistics supplies need transportation tools, and the Qin army’s weapons also need a platform that can be carried to place heavy weapons, whether it is a machine gun or even a rifle, as long as the mobility is maintained. Weapons, and absolutely cross-era weapons.

"General, I think that at present, we can put weapons on cars and make them into armored vehicles. Or we can rely on cars for transportation. Anyway, Qin State has a well-developed road network, but the cars are still a little unstable at present, and these places A large number of gas stations are needed, which is somewhat unrealistic at present." A staff officer in charge of logistical affairs proposed.

"En. This idea is very good. I think it can be recorded in the memorandum, and if we think about it one day, we can use it." Wang Jian continued.
