"The Qin army's exercise is finally over," Li Mu said with a telescope, watching the Qin army's troops continuously gather, and then they left the border between Zhao State and Qin State. They all retreated back to their starting positions.
With the convening of the summit, Zhao Guo strongly expressed such dissatisfaction. Qin Guo decided to temporarily withdraw the exercise in order to make the summit go smoothly. In fact, the exercise was only a temporary action, and the Qin army had no intention of launching a large-scale attack on Zhao Guo. It can be seen from the scale of logistics supplies and the number of troops mobilized that the Qin army's military exercise was just a fake move.
"Well, the Qin army's attack capability has greatly increased," Li Mu said, looking at the shell craters left by the Qin army's attack on the mountain.
"This time the Qin army mobilized the railway artillery, which has a large caliber and is very powerful," said a general at this time,
"If we attack our mountain, our fortifications will not be able to withstand the bombardment of the other side, and all the soldiers in a squad will be killed at once. In this way, the fortifications we built will not be able to form a huge advantage at all, and we will not be able to stop them." The attack of the Qin army," said a general of the Zhao army at this time,
Li Mu just looked at the general and said,
"If we want to build fortifications, we must have cement and steel from the Qin State. Those heavy artillery shells can only withstand those heavy artillery shells when they encounter those reinforced concrete fortifications," the general continued,
"Only by building a large number of fortifications in the key positions on the border of Zhao State can we resist the attack of the Qin army," said the general,
"I object, General," Li Zuoche blatantly objected at this time,
Everyone saw this young major staff officer at this time,
"Building a large number of fortifications requires a lot of military expenditure. Where does the military expenditure come from? The current total strength of the Zhao army is only 10. If a large number of limited troops are placed on the border of Qin State, and these fortifications consume a lot of troops, then As a result, our Zhao army's mobile force will cut off a large part of the 10 people," Li Zuoche said at this time,
"Now, there is also the Qin army in the north of Zhao State. The Qin army can attack in many directions. Not only that, the Qin army's firearms are far superior to ours, especially this time they do not have air power to participate. The participation of forces is enough to paralyze our fortifications, and the fortifications alone will not stop the Qin army's attack," Li Zuoche analyzed at this time,
"These fortifications consume a lot of financial resources. At the same time, they need to be equipped with a large number of artillery and machine guns. These are the main reasons for the increase in military expenditure. At present, our military expenditure is very scarce, and it is impossible for us to have more weapons and equipment. ,” Li Zuoche continued,
"Huh," after the generals present heard the young staff officer's words, they all fell silent,
"It's very good, but the words are too aggressive," Li Mu said at this time, looking back at Li Zuoche,
"It's very reasonable, but you're still too young," Li Mu said critically at this time,
"Yes, sir," Li Zuoche nodded and admitted,
"Okay, let's all disband," Li Mu waved his hand at this time and said,
"Yes, sir," answered all the officers at this moment,
"You stay," Li Mu said to Li Zuoche,
Immediately, the officers all went out at this time,
"Your thoughts are good," Li Mu continued,
"The analysis makes sense," Li Mu said after all the officers walked out,
"Thank you, sir," Li Zuo said firmly,
"I think this way. At present, the Zhao army only has 10 troops. They cannot be deployed in large numbers on such fixed fortifications. Such a defense can certainly block the Qin army's attack, but the Qin army will continue to attack. In the end, we will definitely break through our defense line. Moreover, the mobile troops of the Zhao army are already small. If the defense line is breached, we will not have enough mobile troops to stabilize our defense line. Our defense force will be easily divided. , was surrounded, and then we were all wiped out, so Zhao Jun's current defense strategy must not be a fixed static defense, but a mobile defense strategy," Li Zuoche said at this time,
"En," Li Mu nodded,
"Mobile defense strategy," Li Mu continued,
"Yes, sir, the current Zhao army is very short of troops. Only in this way can we solve this problem. Moreover, there is a huge gap between the Zhao army's weapons and equipment and the Qin army's weapons and equipment. For example, the Qin army has heavy artillery troops, and we No, the Zhao army does not have air power, but the Qin army has it. The Qin army can attack us directly from the air, but we cannot stop the opponent from attacking us. This is very disadvantageous to us. Therefore, I think that at present, our army should carry out military reforms , just like the Qin army, our army can only restore our military strength by carrying out military reforms," said Li Zuoche,
"Military change, how did it change?" Li Mu asked curiously,
"Well, this is a topic I'm researching. I think we should establish an overall concept like the current Qin army," Li Zuoche said,
"First of all, we need to establish our own military academy and non-commissioned officer academy. I think that at present, the main body of Zhao Jun is officers and non-commissioned officers. With these, Zhao Jun can easily organize a large number of troops. Those civilians who have no combat experience , after simple training, under the leadership of veterans, you can rapidly increase your combat effectiveness," said Li Zuoche,
"Then, we need to establish a complete reserve system. Once a war breaks out, reserve forces are very important," Li Zuoche said at this time,
"Well, the idea is very good," Li Mu said,
"However, the question is, can these problems be solved with limited military expenditures," Li Mu asked.
"This," Li Zuoche was at a loss at this time. These are all based on reasonable military expenditures. However, the current military expenditures of Zhao Jun are very limited, which fundamentally limits Zhao Guo's Military reforms cannot be guaranteed with sufficient military expenditures, so there is a possibility of premature failure at any time.
In fact, Li Mu has thought about this issue a long time ago. Military expenditures are limited, and the only way to spend a large amount of military expenditures is to go up where possible. The overall size of Zhao’s army is kept at around 10 people, and 10 people can barely carry out military defense. , but has no military offensive capabilities, and at this time it is very important to maintain a mobile force in terms of strength,
Li Mu plans to strengthen the mobility of the Zhao army, reduce the large-scale defense capabilities, and even no longer deploy military defense capabilities in some aspects, and increase the mobility of the troops on a large scale. This will greatly help the Zhao army's combat effectiveness. , and all of these require a large number of civilian facilities to support, it is impossible for Zhao Guo not to borrow civilian facilities to develop its own economy, this is what Li Mu thinks, t

Military transformation requires optimal military spending support.Every military reform in Qin State was completed with Qin's military expenditure sufficient.However, Zhao Jun has to face the situation that the military expenditure has been severely reduced, and it has been severely reduced more than once.This had a serious impact on Zhao Jun's military reform.
"Is the representative of Qi State still not coming to participate?" Meng Yi sat in his seat, adjusted the position of the chair and saw that the seat of the representative of Qi State was still empty.He asked the assistant on the side.
"Yes. Yesterday's telegram showed that they had reached the border of South Korea. I think they should be able to attend today's meeting." The assistant replied at this time.
"En. It's best to participate. If you don't participate, Qi State will withdraw." Meng Yi said, looking at the vacant seat of the representative of Qi State.
Xianyang, Qin State.
"If Qin and the Six Kingdoms reconcile and there is no war, what will happen to the Qin State?" King Qin asked Meng Tian who was following behind.
"This." Meng Tian replied shaking his head.
"Tell me?" Qin Wang looked back at Meng Tian and asked.
"Qin does not fight wars, develops its economy, and develops its economy with the people of the six countries. This is an idea of Shang Wen. What is his starting point? I don't know yet." Meng Tian said at this time.
"En." King Qin nodded at this time.
"But what I see is that Qin should focus on the external situation. At present, the Huns in the north have not been completely eliminated. If the Qin army attacks the six countries with all its strength, it will inevitably cause the Huns in the north People took advantage of the opportunity and quickly went south to fight. It is impossible for Qin to fight on multiple fronts." Meng Tian said at this time.
"Continue talking." King Qin said while looking at Meng Tian.
"Qin's current territory has expanded a lot, but the surrounding situation has undergone many changes. Countries and regions that were not bordering before are now bordering each other. Moreover, there are many ethnic groups, tribes, and countries. These areas have a great impact on the development of Qin. It is of great significance, but there is also the problem of insufficient national security." Meng Tian said at this time.
"Qin's surrounding environment has many such unknown situations. Qin needs to clarify these situations before it can deploy troops to attack the six countries. And attack the six countries. The time, manpower, material resources, and financial resources that will be consumed also need to be calculated." Meng Tian Said at this time.
"Yes." King Qin nodded at this time.
"The Qin army currently only has about 25 people. Such a number is too small. For such a large country, it is too small." Meng Tian said worriedly.
"En." King Qin looked at Meng Tian.
"Do you know a man named Lu Sheng?" King Qin asked Meng Tian at this time.
"I don't know." Meng Tian replied very calmly.
"This person published an article in Qin's newspaper, saying that the one who destroys China is a barbarian." Qin Wang looked at Meng Tian and said.
"I think so too. Qin is currently expanding so rapidly, if these ethnic minorities cannot be eliminated quickly, Qin will not be able to concentrate its forces to expand eastward." King Qin said at this time.
"If Qin State does not deal with these matters and instead concentrates its forces to resolve the eastern affairs, then there will be threats around Qin State. If these minorities follow Shang Wen's thinking, I don't know what will happen to them. , is a big threat." Qin Wang looked at Meng Tian and said.
