So the staff quickly began to draft a list, and they wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible.

"Have you read the telegram sent by Zhao Guo?" Wang Jian and Yang Duan walked quickly down the aisle in Qin's staff headquarters

"Seeing that Zhao Guo wanted to unilaterally end the war," Yang Duanhe said

"Do you know the reason?" Wang Jian asked at this time

"I don't know," Yang Duanhe said

"I know a little bit," Wang Jian said with a smile at this time

"Tell me about it," Yang Duanhe said

"Look at the newspapers on our street. The various banks in the state of Qin are making a fuss. Now all the banks lack enough funds. They raise money in name. They start to transfer the money from foreign investment back to the state, and they also start to borrow money. After being frantically transferred back, I heard that the Royal Bank was about to withdraw a sum of 20 yuan, and the country of Zhao was thrown into chaos." Wang Jian said as he walked.

"Prime Minister Guo Kai of the State of Zhao became anxious all of a sudden and almost shouted to ask Li Mu for the money back. The people of the State of Zhao actually used the money for war expenses. One can imagine how anxious Guo Kai will be." Wang Jian at this time said

"That is to say, they ended the war because they had no money," Yang Duanhe said at this time

"As for them, they have no money. The money they can fight is all from us, Qin, but they owe us money," Wang Jian said at this time.

"Tell the truth." At this time, Wang Jian pushed open the door of his office, and Yang Duanhe walked in. Wang Jian closed the door.

"We should look at this war from an economic point of view. It is true that there is no point in fighting this war. We will get nothing. If Zhao Guo has no money to develop their economy, we will not get the money we want. Even if we occupy Zhao Guo, we will I still have to spend dozens of times more than this amount to build the Zhao Kingdom, so I think the bigger troubles for the current Zhao Kingdom are yet to come." At this time, Wang Jian sat down and said

"When did you become an economist?" Yang Duanhe asked at this time

"There is no way now that the war and the economy are too closely linked. Just look at these military expenditures and you will know that we have to cut a considerable part of our military expenditures. These expenditures will stagnate our arms industry." At this time, Wang Jian gave Yang Duan and a book. Report

"This matter is really troublesome." Yang Duanhe glanced at it and returned the report to Wang Jian.

"Now our situation is not too bad, you know?" Wang Jian said at this time

"Our biggest problem at present is how to use this limited military expenditure to maintain the current situation. There are too many enemies around us. The surrounding situation is too complicated. Once our offensive stops, the surrounding ethnic minorities will continue to harass us. This situation is very unfavorable to us," Wang Jian said.

"But our military expenditures have been reduced to the point where we can no longer sustain our state of Qin. The territory of our Qin State is so large and there is still a lot of unmarked areas. These unmarked areas will definitely be battlefields in the future," Wang Jian said in his office. On the large map at the back, he pointed to the Western Regions, then the entire North, then the Northeast, and then he pointed to the Southwest, which is the area of ​​the Hexi Corridor. Although Qin State has an area extending to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this does not mean Along the Hexi Corridor is a safe plateau at a high altitude, where the population is sparsely populated, and it is difficult for the soldiers of the Qin Army to hold on there. The most terrible thing is that there are Qiang people found there. In order to distinguish the highland Qiang people from those nomadic Qiang people in the northwest, Shang Wen does not know whether there is any connection between the two, but the difference between the two is very large. Although the number of highland Qiang people is not very large, it is speculated that there cannot be too many people there according to the geographical environment. Shang Wen I figured it out like this

But it is quite barbaric there. The highland Qiang people there are very aggressive. They are extremely fierce. Even if the Qin mercenaries have the advantage of firearms, sometimes it is difficult for them to gain an absolute advantage.

"We will face a huge problem in the next year. The problem is that we have to face all kinds of defense problems, but our military expenditure is not much. We have to update our weapons and maintain combat effectiveness while dealing with all kinds of problems. Our situation is bad but troublesome," Wang Jian said.

"We are not passively defending. The main problem is that our soldiers are tense and we simply cannot raise so many soldiers." Yang Duanhe pointed out the crux of the problem.

"Too much has been said. Our problem now is here," Wang Jian said.

"So an officer advised me to do this." At this time, Wang Jian took out a report

"Mercenary Plan" Yang Duanhe said

"Plan against mercenaries" Wang Jian said at this time

"This plan says so," Wang Jian said at this time

"At present, our military expenditures are tight and our soldiers' salaries are very high, especially when we encounter large war casualties. Domestic accusations will have an extremely adverse impact on our military operations. That's why this report says so," Wang Jian turned at this time According to this report

"We can hire people from the Six Kingdoms to form a Six** team and let them take the initiative to attack the enemies on some defensive points," Wang Jian said.

"Then what about our people?" Yang Duanhe asked

But Wang Jian signaled him not to ask casually.

"The money spent by this Sixth Army is only equivalent to the cost of one division of our Qin State, but we can get the combat capability of two and a half divisions, and these forces can help us destroy our first opponent," Wang Jian said.

"In addition, there is another plan. This plan says this," Wang Jian said at this time

"We can absorb some militant nomads as our mercenaries. We only need to promise that they will get the nationality of Qin after fighting many battles. We will give them freedom. Of course, after they are free, they can also get a certain amount of property. We respect that." Their choice," Wang Jian said with a report

"We can get these troops without spending a penny," said Yang Duanhe

"You're right, we must know that we are counting on our allies at the moment, so we don't know that in the long run. South Korea is already planning to withdraw from this war against the U.S.," Wang Jian said at this time.

"And Zhao Guo is obviously tired of this kind of battle. They don't have much money to provide them with fighting. Even if we can lend them, they won't fight anymore," Wang Jian said.

"So we can only spend money and hire people who don't spend money to fight," Wang Jian said.

"Then what about our people?" Yang Duanhe asked at this time

"This is the crux of the problem. Our people must maintain their combat effectiveness, otherwise our country will be in big trouble," Wang Jian said at this time

"In key areas, our army has become the most important main force. We must protect our main force at all costs and let them get the accumulation and protection of our combat experience," Wang Jian said at this time

"It seems that we are a little selfish," Yang Duanhe said

"But some things can be discarded," said Yang Duanhe

"For those mercenaries of minority groups, we can sacrifice them mercilessly. Besides, their loyalty is worth our test. We must know that there will be a big riot before, and we don't trust them very much," Wang Jian said at this time.

"En" Yang Duanhe understands this matter very well, even if you think about it, Qin will definitely use northern nomads with stronger fighting power, such as Huns, Hu people, or mountain people in the northeast. These people are excellent for them. Warriors, they're aggressive and brave, they're strong, they don't seem to know anything but war, they're born to fight

"Should we also give them some combat skills, such as the use of weapons?" Yang Duanhe asked at this time

"En will teach some but not many, and the weapons must be different so that we can ensure that our status has not changed," Wang Jian said at this time

"It seems that these people are born to be victims," ​​Yang Duanhe said

1205 they are rubbish

"If we do that, our border defense will be handed over to those barbarians. Do you think it's safe to do so?" Yang Duanhe raised his doubts at this time

"We only have an appropriate ratio but not all of them. We must know that doing so will lead to a serious consequence, that is, our defense line is completely open to them. We must control it to a certain extent, so we have to use our army as the main force. Use them on some secondary lines of defense or in small battles that are not large-scale battles," Wang Jian explained

"Thinking about handing over our defense to those who have ulterior motives, I always feel that it is not very good to do so," Yang Duanhe said at this time

"I understand this, but our current situation is like this and there is no other way," Wang Jian said at this time

"Besides, don't worry," Wang Jian said at this time

"We will transfer these people from different regions to different theaters so that they cannot adapt to the corresponding environment," Wang Jian said at this time

"I hope so." Yang Duanhe still thinks it's not good to do so. After all, it is unacceptable for Yang Duanhe to let these barbarians join his army. After all, the Qin army sent them to fight before, and now they want to be their own. Let's deal with another group of barbarians Yang Duanhe feels that he can't accept this reality

Just when Qin State stopped the need for large-scale active combat after reducing military expenditures, it also reduced a large number of weapons and equipment. These weapons and equipment pose too great an economic threat to Qin State. These circumstances had to make the Qin army enter a defensive state as a whole.

But just when Yang Duanhe expressed his distrust of these barbarians, the northwest direction of Qin State, to be precise, the direction of the plateau south of the Hexi Corridor

"It's already mid-April in the country of Qin, and the snow here hasn't melted yet, and it's still so cold today." A second-class soldier of the Qin Army wearing a military overcoat stood on a watchtower, and densely packed barbed wire was arranged around the watchtower. These barbed wire fences are arranged quite tightly.

"It's not that I feel cold in my military coat," said a sergeant at this time
