"En." Han Shu asked Xiao He to take the report.Han Shu took the report and looked at it.
"The plan is not bad. Can it be implemented immediately?" Han Shu asked.
"Yes, our personnel have been selected. As long as they participate in it." The Secretary of Defense said.
"Okay. Execute immediately. Don't hesitate. If there is any need, I will definitely support it." Han Shu said to the Minister of Defense.
"Yes, Your Majesty," said the Minister of Defense.After the Minister of Defense got Han Shu's order.He left immediately and ordered the execution of the plan.
"The wind is blowing." A colonel of the new South Korean army in a border town read after holding the received telegram.
"That's it." The colonel lit the telegram with a lighter and left quickly.
And this small team is still gathered at the border, and they wait patiently for orders. m
1792 Bankers' Objection
The Western Regions of Qin State.
"Winter is coming soon. Our defense line can be loosened." A major staff officer said to Wang Ben.
"That's right. General, we can relax now." Another one said.
"Indeed." Wang Ben said.
"Recent reports show the same. Our harassment has been zero recently. It seems that the army of Parthia has retreated." Wang Ben's staff officer said.
"En." Wang Ben nodded. For the coming winter, the cold weather can temporarily stop the war.After all, winter is coming.No one can stand it.
"But how about our material reserves?" Wang Ben asked.
"This is not a big problem. We have always had a large amount of reserves, and Guanzhong has been transporting and hoarding materials, so our material situation is very optimistic." The lieutenant colonel replied.
"In that case." Wang Ben said with a little relief.
"However, we still have to worry about our flanks." Wang Ben said to the two staff officers.
"Wing?" The two staff officers looked at Wang Ben suspiciously. They didn't know what Wang Ben was talking about.
"Our flanks are high mountains, deserts, and Gobi, which are insurmountable, and there are friendly troops on the side, which is impossible and dangerous." The lieutenant colonel said.
"I'm not talking about these, but our rear flanks." Wang Ben said.
"On the flanks of the Hexi Corridor, the mountainous Qiang people can easily reach the Hexi Corridor by crossing our defense line. The special geographical terrain of the Hexi Corridor requires us to pay attention to this point on the issue of the Western Regions." Wang Ben said.
"Even if we can solve the problem of material hoarding, but the problem of long-distance transportation of personnel and equipment logistics supplies, if the Western Region Railway in the Hexi Corridor stops transportation for a few months, our situation will be very bad." Wang Ben said worriedly.
"The consumption of materials is second to none. The most important thing is personnel. We have too few control personnel in the Western Regions. We can consume weapons and supplies, but we must not consume personnel. Once the supply channel of the Hexi Corridor is interrupted, personnel The consumption is very powerful." Wang Ben said worriedly.Speaking of which.There was nothing the two staff officers could do.
"General, there is no way to do this. Qin's current location in the Hexi Corridor is like this." The lieutenant colonel said.
"This is also what we are worried about. I don't know if the staff has such an idea. My report has been submitted. I hope it can attract attention." Wang Ben said to the two.
Inside the General Staff Department in Xianyang, Qin State.
"The Hexi Corridor is very important to us. However, it faces the intrusion of the Qiang people in the mountains." Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe.
"Especially in the current situation, we have no way to solve such a problem," Yang Duanhe said.
"Yes. At present, Qin has begun to gather a large amount of power, but there is no way to push the front to a farther place. Although those areas are controlled by us, there are no people, no small towns, and no people there. It cannot be stabilized," Wang Jian said.
"There is no other way." Yang Duanhe said.
"That place is a plateau area. There is nothing in the plateau area. The air is thin. When our people go to fight there, there are many discomforts. In addition, there is no benefit. Such a battle is not very meaningful at all." Yang Duanhe said. arrive.
The Prime Minister's Office of the State of Qin pointed out in a report on the battle of the Qiang people in the mountains in the southwest direction that the Qin army consumed an astonishing amount of money in the battle against the Qiang people in the mountains, but it failed to achieve the strategic goals it needed.Under such circumstances, the Prime Minister's Office gave a high-cost, low-income evaluation of the war.For such a war, Qin should try to avoid it.rather than further expansion.The barren land south of the Qilian Mountains did not have much interest for the people of Qin to value that place.
"There's no way that place is too barren." Yang Duanhe said.
"But the strategic location of the Hexi Corridor is too important to us. If Qin wants to completely ensure that such strategic control is in our hands, it must ensure the safety of the flanks of the Hexi Corridor," Wang Jian said.
"Let's find a way to explain it to the prime minister. Or let the Ministry of National Defense pay attention to this issue. I think this can solve this problem." Yang Duanhe suggested.
"En." Wang Jian nodded.
"Then pass on the report and urge to make a decision as soon as possible." Wang Jian said worriedly.
"En. All right." Yang Duanhe said.
Qin State Ministry of Defense.
"My God. We need to solve the strategic security issue of the Hexi Corridor." Wei Liao said while looking at the report submitted by the General Staff.
"What should we do? Minister." Wei Liao's security advisor asked.
"I don't know. We have also done research on the issue of the Hexi Corridor, but after research, we found that our cost problem has been high." Wei Liao said.
"The use of military means can solve the problem, but the cost is too high. Some of our technical weapons cannot be used on higher plateaus, and the same is true for our people. Soldiers who go there must undergo strict training. Bad soldiers will die if they go there." Wei Liao said worriedly.
"Such a situation did happen, if it hadn't been for such a cable report from the front-line officer. I'm afraid the staff, the Ministry of Defense would not have known about such a thing.
"Yes. Such problems have not been well resolved. Fighting there is almost barren. The cost of fighting has always been high and it is difficult to solve." The security consultant said.
"And if we want to defend, we need to spend a higher cost. For us, it is very uneconomical. If this kind of war continues, our finances will be exhausted. This is absolutely something we must avoid." Wei Wei Liao said.
"The cost of defense is also very high. We have to use a lot of manpower and material capacity to build fortifications. This is too expensive for us. The Ministry of Finance will definitely not approve it, and the prime minister will not require us to have it. Such a request." The security consultant suggested.
"It's just that the strategic security issue is difficult to solve." Wei Liao said.
"I think about this problem, should I ask the prime minister for advice, maybe the prime minister has a good way to solve it." The security consultant said.
"No." Wei Liao shook his head at this time and said.
"Prime Minister still has a lot of things to take care of. We can't disturb him all." Wei Liao said.
"But for this problem, our cost is very small, and we need to use low-cost forces to solve such a large strategic problem." The security consultant said.Although Qin has absolute advantages in military technology, tactics, and materials, it does not mean that the Qin army can suppress the opponent. Qin is relatively weak in the use of military power. Under such circumstances, the two sides have formed a stalemate. status.This situation makes Qin's Hexi Corridor face flank threats at any time.But under such circumstances, Qin Jun did not have a good solution.
The other side.Within Qin's banking alliance.
"It's impossible. If Zhao Guoren gets involved, our banking business will be severely challenged. We have already started lending to these investment projects on a large scale. But if this continues, is it really a good thing for us? News." Qin's bankers said.
"The emergence of bills of exchange and checks can greatly expand our business. Banks without this business simply don't have such competitiveness. It is a great benefit for our Qin State Bank to include Zhao's bank in such services. We will absolutely not allow Zhao Guo to do this." The young banker said.
"Yes, that's it. What is Qin State's banking advantage? It's the bill business. If Zhao State Bank participates, Qin State's banking competitive advantage will no longer exist. Doing so will definitely pose a threat to Qin State. We are resolute No." An elderly banker stood up and said.
"En." Meng Yi nodded aside.He believes that these bankers are right. Qin's banking business relies on this kind of business to maintain such an advantage. If Qin's banks do not have such an advantage, they will lose a lot of their competitive advantage.The bank will provide Qin with huge financial support. Without such financial support, Meng Yi really can't imagine.
"Zhao Guoren must not be allowed to participate." The bankers objected unanimously.The secret of Qin State Bank's operation lies here. The conduct of bill business can bring Qin State a great business competitive advantage, but Zhao State cannot develop such a competitive advantage.In this way, the capital flow of Zhao State is relatively static.And Qin's capital liquidity will be greatly strengthened.In order to maintain the liquidity of this kind of funds, Qin bankers have the Qin bank alliance.Through such an alliance, Qin's banks can quickly become stronger, and as long as the liquidity of funds is increased, funds can be used without restriction.
