"It's too troublesome," Wang Jian continued.
"And after the battle starts, we need to be responsible for more logistical supplies. Not only that, but if soldiers suffer casualties, our situation will be even worse. These costs will exhaust our small war expenses," Wang Jian said.
"So we need cheap soldiers," Wang Jian said at this time
"But where are these cheap soldiers? I think we should think about the north and our northeast. There are nomads and mountain people living in the mountains. They are all natural soldiers. We have established huge pastures there and Facts have proved that these mountain people and the Huns are not very used to our pasture life, they think it is too comfortable." At this time, Wang Jian walked back and forth and said.
"They always want to challenge something, so they riot and we suppress it. It's not a good thing for us. We need to spend more troops to completely destroy them. If that happens, Qin will consume countless money." Wang Jian said at this time
"So we need to change our current thinking," Wang Jian said at this time
"Since they are natural soldiers, let's send them to fight," Wang Jian said boldly at this time
"What does the chief of staff mean?" a Qin army colonel asked below
"I don't know," a staff officer replied succinctly at this time.
"We need to hire these soldiers who are born to fight and send them to the northwest and southwest to fight in the Qilian Mountains. Let them fight the Qiang people. We need to see whether the Qiang people are stronger than the Huns and the mountain people. At the same time, we can also tie them completely. It will be very beneficial to us to minimize the loss of our personnel," Wang Jian said at this time
"What do you think of this plan?" Wang Jian asked at this time
"We think we should think about it carefully. We know that those Huns and highlanders are hard to control. We can't believe their loyalty. Our soldiers would rather shoot at them than fight with them." At this time, a staff officer boldly said
1228 Recruiting Alien Mercenaries
[No pop-up window] "Do we have a better way than this?" Wang Jian asked calmly at this time
And all the staff officers present look at me and I look at you. They don’t know what advantages and disadvantages this method has. All the staff officers are thinking about this issue carefully.
Soon this topic was handed over to the staff to make a detailed plan. How would they organize these people from other races to join their army to help them fight the war?
Under the formulation of the staff, several plans were formulated to implement this plan. Wang Jian is not interested in specific plans. What he is interested in is to quickly solve the problem of the Qiang people in Southwest China, because the telegraph and telephone calls there are almost blown up, don't hurry up. The problem will get worse
"Incorporate the Huns and highlanders into the Qin army?" King Qin asked Wang Jian when he saw the report.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Wang Jian said respectfully.
"What will Qin's army think if it is incorporated into such a foreign Qin?" King Qin asked at this time
"Your Majesty, they are not included in the Qin army. They are at most Qin's mercenaries. We just let them attack another alien race." At this time, Wang Jian replied.
"En" Qin Wang just gave a gracious expression, obviously Qin Wang is also thinking about the impact of this matter
"Go ahead and get ready for this matter," King Qin said after thinking about it for a while.
"Here," Wang Jian replied, saluting with both hands.
The king of Qin understood that the reason why Wang Jian submitted such a plan was very simple. The Qin army could not wait for the situation of the Qiang people in the southwest to happen. However, the army currently available to the Qin state is very limited, and temporary conscription would require a huge military expenditure to maintain it.
However, Qin's current financial situation does not support this. Even where the recruits come from, Qin needs a cycle to perfect their army and needs to train a group of recruits into real soldiers so that they can go into battle, but there is not enough time and not enough. Give Qin Jun time to complete such training
And these minorities, they can do this. They are born soldiers and they like to fight. The most important thing is that they are minorities, which is not too important to Qin.
This report was quickly carried out. The report was sent to the north of Qin State in the form of a telegram. Meng Tian saw the telegram of this report at the headquarters.
"The General Staff actually asked us to recruit some Huns and highlanders to become mercenaries." At this time, Meng Tian said with a report
"Sir, what does this mean?" the chief of staff asked at this time
"Then take a look, our situation is not too optimistic," Meng Tian said at this time
"The Qiang people appeared in our southwestern direction, and our country is reducing military expenditures. The domestic economy is unstable and cannot provide enough funds. Under the circumstances of reducing military expenditures, the chief of staff came up with such a way. These mercenaries will not It costs Qin Jun a penny." Meng Tian stood up at this moment and said
"Strictly speaking, it shouldn't cost a small amount of money," Meng Tian said at this time, and his chief of staff was looking at the report seriously at this time.
"Their logistics supplies and other material supplies need us to complete, and the price we give them is freedom. They can get freedom instead of slaves," Meng Tian said at this time
"I think there are some shortcomings in this plan. Knowing that our army has been fighting with them constantly before, now we have our soldiers fighting in the same trenches as them. I can't believe it," said the chief of staff at this time.
"I can't believe what our soldiers think," said the chief of staff
"If it were me, I would be very worried. I would rather point my gun at them than at the Qiang people because they are too great a threat to us," the chief of staff said at this time
And Meng Tian raised his eyebrows at this time, expressing his understanding. After all, everyone knows that they had fought a bloody battle with this alien race before, and now they let their soldiers stay in the same trench as them. What would the soldiers think? What would they think? The people above put the enemy into their own trenches, and will these alien races retaliate against themselves like them? If so, according to the thinking of the Qin people, they think they will. If the Qin people belonged to the opponent, he would first give the opponent a blow Whether it's an enemy or a friend, such an opportunity is very rare.
The key to the difficulty of implementing this plan lies in the lack of absolute trust between the two parties. It can be said that there is no trust at all between the two parties.
It was the enemy before and now they are staying in a trench. They can't believe that there is any reason between them that allows them to stay in the trench by themselves.
"I understand, but we still have to try. We can make more obedient mountain people. At least they are more trustworthy than the Huns. We try to use as little as possible for the Huns, mainly because we observe them." At this time, Meng Tian thought for a while and said.
"Then how many people do we have?" asked the chief of staff at this time
"I don't think it's too much at first. Let's make a company and then a battalion and then a regiment. We'll see how they react. But considering the reaction of our soldiers, we should make them ** and I think it will be better. Change their brains and make them loyal to us," Meng Tian emphasized at this time
"Yes, I understand," said the chief of staff at this time.
"En" Meng Tian replied
"That's it, are there any other questions?" Meng Tian asked at this time
"Also, according to the information provided by our security company on the North Korean side, a large number of soldiers with muskets began to appear on the North Korean side. They have had a great impact on our business activities. Although the weapons are not as good as ours, the appearance of these muskets Make it difficult for us to deal with," said the chief of staff at this time
"These muskets come from Qi State," Meng Tian said at this time
"Huh" Meng Tian took a deep breath at this time
"Can you know where these guns came from?" Meng Tian asked at this time
"I don't know," said the chief of staff at this time.
"The detailed investigation clearly shows that we need to know that these guns flowed into their hands through channels," Meng Tian said at this time
"Yes sir," replied the chief of staff
"Okay, let's go out, we need to solve these problems in detail," Meng Tian said at this time
After the chief of staff quit, Meng Tian began to think about the current problems. At present, Meng Tian only has two divisions and three independent battalion units. One is the First Cavalry Division and the other is Qin's reserve team, the Third Infantry Division. The strength here is not enough for Qin. Not to mention that their troops were dispersed, which led to the rapid reduction of Qin's prepared mobile forces, especially after the country's land area increased a lot, which directly led to the occurrence of such a seriously dispersed deployment of troops. Although Wang Jian repeatedly compressed, such a situation Things are unavoidable. The defense of some parts of Qin State has been handed over to the local militia for defense. This is not a good phenomenon for Qin State.
However, the pressure on Mengtian in the whole north is relatively high. First of all, the Huns in the north did not solve the problem. After the death of Da Shanyu, the Huns started a chaotic internal struggle for power. reduce how much
On the contrary, he has to raise troops to strengthen the defense in this direction. If the Huns complete the stability of internal power, they will inevitably go south, but Mengtian has no offensive force.
In the east, the highlanders are constantly being harassed, and there are not a few battles among them. These battles are small-scale and basically take place at the battalion and company level. In the south of the east, there is a new country, North Korea. The situation is that they have used new weapons. These weapons are still backward in the eyes of Qin, but this weapon has fallen into North Korea, which makes Meng Tian feel uneasy. If they develop northward and unite with the mountain people, the situation will be a little troublesome.
What Meng Tian is most worried about is his own military strength. He still has to take away a division. I'm worried that I don't have enough troops
Meng Tian was worried that his troops were not enough, but Zhao Jun was trying his best to negotiate.
