"What happened?" the mate asked loudly.
But no one on the other side answered, everyone is desperately trying to escape
Soon the fire engulfed the entire ship
"This is our first victory," the captain said gloomily
Although this battle was very short, the Chu State Navy did not have any results, but they have taken an important step. They will fight on the entire Yangtze River waterway. The next battle will gradually escalate.
The calm Yangtze River swallowed up the merchant ship, and the armed warship also left quietly at this time. The rising sun dispelled the fog at this time, and everything returned to calm, but the calm torrent will not calm down. This will foretell start with a real fight
Not only the Yangtze River, but also the end point and another starting point of the golden ocean waterway
1224 The Troubles Brought by the Qiang People
[full text reading]
The surface battle in the south is escalating and Qin has also encountered new situations
The intelligence department of Qin State's General Staff is the most tense and busiest department
"Damn this telegram actually delivered such a message," a major officer hurried over and said at this time
"The general must know about something serious." The major officer immediately sent the telegram to the director of the office. After seeing the telegram, the director of the office was very surprised to the point of unbelievable surprise.
"This is really a big deal, we have to tell the chief of staff about this situation," the chief of staff immediately stood up and said
Then hurried to Wang Jian's office and gave the telegram to Wang Jian for inspection
"Qiang man" Wang Jian asked suspiciously at this time
"To sir," said the colonel at this time.
"They're to the southwest of us," the colonel said at this time
"I know, but the problem is our current situation," Wang Jian said in disbelief
"Forget about this question, we have to tell the king that we can't know this by ourselves," Wang Jian said at this time
"Is there an exact telegram report? The more detailed the better, we need to know the details," Wang Jian said at this time
"We're going to sort it out now," said the colonel at this time.
"The more detailed the better," Wang Jian looked at the telegram and said. At this time, Wang Jian thought of many situations. This war is very unfavorable to them.
"Damn the Qiang people, the Qiang people," Wang Jian said at this time, Wang Jian seemed very helpless
"We will spend a lot of resources on endless foreign wars. How will the unification of Qin be realized?" Wang Jian said worriedly
The information was sorted out quickly, and some details of the battle were also transmitted in the form of telegrams.
The overall situation of the Qin Army's defense line is very pessimistic. There are many loopholes in the defense line along the Qilian Mountains. These loopholes have caused the entire defense line to shake, and the Qin Army's [-]st Infantry Division is doing its best to maintain their defense line. But there are still big loopholes in their defense.
The Qiang people, especially the Qiang people in the highlands or the Qiang people in the plateau, had a great impact on the defense line carefully constructed by the Qin army.
Facing the carefully constructed defense line of the Qin army, they seemed so helpless at the beginning. They gathered a large number of soldiers and horses and stagnated in the defense line of the Qin army. They tried several times.
After paying a huge price of casualties, the Qiang people finally stopped their frenzied attack. At the price of blood, they finally understood that the fortifications of the Qin people would make their blood dry. Fortifications The fortifications of the Qin army are quite tight, especially the firepower of the fortifications. The Qiang people will face the scientifically calculated fortifications of the Qin army. Such fortifications make them stop.
However, any fortification has weaknesses, even the Qin army's defense weaknesses have been scientifically calculated, but the Qiang people are not smart, on the contrary, their thinking is very straightforward.
They launched an attack with long-haired cattle, that is, yaks from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. They drove groups of yaks to attack the positions of the Qin army.
Barbed wire mines and crossfire from machine guns are of no use to this crazy animal attack. They use various methods to irritate the long-haired cows. These long-haired cows charge desperately like crazy.
The stinging pain of the barbed wire will only irritate their reckless impact, which hastened the collapse of the Qin army's defense line. Using the yak's crazy charge, the Qiang people finally unlocked a key to attack the Qin army's defense line. This key was opened at once. Direct attack on all defensive strongholds
The barbed wire was impacted and a big hole was opened. The mines were all detonated. The barrel of the machine gun was shot red. The entire water tank was boiled and even a single bullet could not be fired.
The infantry was charged wildly by the yaks, and behind them came the ferocious Qiangs. They immediately rushed up to fight to the death with the Qin army. The Qin army, which was not superior in numbers, quickly lost their defensive support. Think about how terrible the consequences would be.
This tactic was being staged in many places at the same time. There were gaps in varying degrees in the defense line of the Qin Army's [-]st Infantry Division. More and more Qiang people were reaching Qilian Mountain through these gaps. Once they crossed Qilian Mountain, the entire Hexi Corridor would be exposed to the entire Qiang people. in hand
The frightening thing is that these long and narrow Hexi Corridors will be firmly stuck by the Qiang people on the neck of the Qin people leading to the Western Regions. The Qin people will never allow such a thing to happen.
"The situation is like this. The Qiang people in front of us are posing a fatal threat to us. According to our intelligence, the Qiang people have gathered about 10 people, and their unusual ferocity poses a great threat to us." At this time, Wang Jian said with the report.
"These Qiang people," King Qin said after hearing the report
But Shang Wen frowned Shang Wen thought that this would be another war. The war meant that Qin would have to pay a lot of expenses, especially war expenses.
"This is another huge war expense. The opponent has 10 people and our defense force in that direction is only more than 1 people." Shang Wen said grumblingly at this time
"It's not 1 people, but less than 8000 combat troops. The situation there is already bad. Their defense is very wide. It can be said that there is no mobile force," Wang Jian added at this time.
"We don't have any reserves yet. The [-]rd Infantry Division has already been dispatched and there is no way to gather them in. And the military expenditure is being greatly reduced. It belongs to the plateau and the air power is difficult to deploy. It's very large. In short, the situation is very bad." Wang Jian said to Shang Wen at this time. Said and Naofumi could only listen and he couldn't do anything about it
"Financial reforms are underway and the progress of the banking union is slow Stabilizing the situation and the overall situation has not improved much for us," Shang Wen said at this time
"That is to say, it is difficult to get the military expenditure in place in a short period of time." Wang Jian asked at this time
"Yes" Shang Wen replied
"We have not yet reached the point where we can use bonds to raise funds. You must know that there are quite a lot of bonds in circulation in the market, and we have not been able to recover them," Shang Wen said at this time.
"There is still the issue of soldiers," Shang Wen said at this time
"We simply don't have any troops on hand to replenish. We don't know how long our [-]st Infantry Division can last. Can they last until new troops arrive? Now Qin is a big country, which is a disaster for us. We don't have enough. Defense with troops," Shang Wen said at this time
"The king and the last general think that Qin cannot go on like this. The long-term war consumes and consumes Qin's national strength. Although Qin's national power has increased for a while, the number of Qin's foreign wars is far more than before. Qin has no power to go east." This At that time, Wang Jian excitedly pointed out this problem.
"En" Shangwen expressed his incomprehension
"The current surrounding situation of Qin State is like this," Shang Wen said.
"Endless wars have increased our national strength and brought us troubles, but don't forget that opportunities and challenges coexist at the same time. Now is the time to test us," Shang Wen said confidently
King Qin felt a little funny when he heard Shang Wen's words
And the ministers around me feel very helpless about Naofumi's words. Naofumi is too naive when it comes to politics.
"Our problem now is that we have no money and no people," Shang Wen said.
"The most critical issue is money. Our finances have just suffered a severe blow. We not only need to restore our strength, but we also need to revitalize our financial system as it should," Shang Wen said at this time.
"When will finance provide us with money?" Wang Jian asked Shang Wen unceremoniously at this time
"It's not accurate," Shangwen replied helplessly.
