"Let's get ready. The meeting is about to start." A representative said, looking at the watch in his hand.This meeting will be extraordinarily important.

"Before starting this meeting, I need to explain my leg problem." At this time, Shangwen turned the wheelchair and said.

"Some people will definitely think, am I too happy. I broke my leg." Shangwen said at this time.

"I think. Maybe so." Shang Wen said.

"That day, after I received the news, I didn't know what happened. I didn't know until later. I stepped on the empty steps. I fell straight down. I think. I may have forgotten that the earth has attraction. Yes." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Ha ha".People around laughed.

"Okay. My price is a broken left leg. Now, our chief of staff. General Wang Jianwang, let's start our meeting. We extend a warm welcome to their arrival." Shang Wen made an opening statement at this time.

"Huh la la." All the people applauded, expressing their welcome to the arrival of the military representative.

"No matter how much these representatives applaud, I won't be happy. I really want to shoot them. Then we don't have to stand here." Wang Jian said to the chief of his combat department at this time.

He smiled slightly for the director beside him.Agree.This is equivalent to a hearing in Congress, and they will face a test.

"Thank you everyone. We will officially start the topic." Wang Jian started the topic very directly.

"We have heard about the issues discussed at the tax collection meeting. I know that for a long time, especially since the reform of the military, military expenditures have remained high. This is a very serious problem," Wang Jian said.

"However, behind this issue, it is not as simple as simply cutting military expenditures." Wang Jian said straightforwardly at this time.

"With regard to some data, we won't give examples anymore. Those data can only show what happened. However, the problem before everyone has not been explained yet." At this time, Wang Jian said.

"Qin has expanded a lot of territory, but in fact, we only have more than 25 troops. These troops are simply not enough for us to defend such a large area of ​​land. Our national defense and security strategy has been greatly challenged. Qin The country's mobile force is less than a brigade. If a war breaks out, the mobile force that Qin can mobilize is only a few thousand troops. Can a few thousand troops be able to deal with a war?" Wang Jian asked rhetorically at this time.

"No. It is impossible for us to deal with such a war." Wang Jian said.

"Our country has expanded several times. However, the military strength has been reduced by more than one time. In order to make up for the shortage of troops, we can only work on weapons. Our troops are equipped with machine guns of a certain scale. The technical advantages of trains, armored trains, aircraft, and armed airships, etc., have made up for our shortcomings in military strength to a certain extent, but this has resulted in expensive weapons. Not only are weapons expensive, we need It takes a certain amount of time to train our soldiers. The cost of training soldiers remains high, and at the same time, coupled with the expenditure of war expenses, this directly leads to high military costs." Wang Jian said analyzing the problem.

"We have also made some small-scale efforts to reduce military expenditures under the suggestion of the prime minister. However, a fact is before our eyes. Qin's national defense and security have expanded a lot. Faced with this fact, this foundation has already been It cannot be changed, what we can do is to save limited funds and expenditures. But national security is facing new challenges." Wang Jian said.

"You know, the surrounding tribes, countries, and those nomads are not friendly to us. I hope that the position can be considered. If there is no security, our economy is developing, and we will also be threatened by military forces from remote areas. For these military threats, the only thing we can do is to maintain a moderately large armed force," Wang Jian said.

"This is the security of the country. It is the security of everyone. He can bring security to our property and life." Wang Jian looked at the representatives around him and said.

"Huh la la." At this time, the representatives applauded in agreement.

"It seems impossible to cut military spending." A representative said while applauding.

"It's not impossible, it's just that there are fewer cuts," another representative said.

"I really don't know, what will the Prime Minister do next?" On behalf of this time, he continued.At this time, Shangwen was just recording with a pen.He didn't have much opinion on this issue.This is an indisputable fact.one

Afterwards, Wang Jian explained some specific items to the representatives one by one. The cost of these weapons, under Wang Jian's explanation, convinced the representatives that their taxpayers' money was worth a lot for the purchase of these weapons. reasonable.It is said that the military did not spend much more.Moreover, the military also gave a detailed explanation of the personnel arrangement.

These explanations dispelled the doubts of many representatives. Although they could only accept the fact that the military expenditure was too high, they could not reduce such a huge military expenditure.On the issue of military expenditure, it is tending to a reasonable range. After all, no one would joke about their own safety.

Wang Jian explained a lot at the meeting.The meeting only took a 15-minute break at noon, then continued throughout the afternoon.The meeting discussed a lot of content.The theme of the content began to shift to the issue of expanding tax sources.This is a sensitive topic that everyone is concerned about. It seems that only taxation can solve the final problem.

Qin State is discussing the reform of their internal taxation.And Zhao Guo is nervously deploying troops.And the procurement of new weapons.They hope to solve this problem through these.

"Our recent battle report is very unfavorable. The progress of the infantry is really too slow." Li Zuoche complained after coming out of the telegraph room.The latest battle report shows that Zhao Jun's infantry has only advanced a few dozen miles.They would stop at a distance of less than ten miles a day.However, some troops were still on the ground, and they did not advance a step.And the cavalry units that penetrated far into the enemy's rear were gathering their troops.

Cavalry contact was temporarily restored.But they also had new bad news, they lost a bridgehead position.In view of their own shortage of troops, they did not re-launch the offensive to seize the position.Fortunately, Ling Xun helped them a lot, the Qi army could not cross the river, even if they controlled the bridgehead on the other side of the river, it would be of no use.

"General, we have to find a way as soon as possible to restore the floating bridge on the river, so that the army can withdraw." A bearded officer cupped his hands and said.

"I know, look at those big ice blocks. We have no way to clean them up. These ice blocks make it impossible for us to build a pontoon bridge." General Qi Jun looked helplessly at the other side of the river.The "Qi" flag on the other side of the river was flying alone.It seems to indicate that the other side is a lone army.They couldn't get effective supplies and good replenishment of soldiers. They could only wait hard for the ice to disappear, but the ice disappeared easily. The temperature in ancient times was lower than that in the contemporary era.As a result, the ice cubes also disappeared during the day in March.Freezing situation at night.This made many Qi soldiers very distressed.

"When will these ice cubes disappear?" Qi soldiers complained.

"If you want to go back, you can't go back. Those Zhao people must be planning on us and driving us into the river." A soldier said while holding his rifle.

The other soldiers looked up at the way home from time to time, and went home, exhausting the fighting will of the soldiers of the Qi army.

On the opposite side of Zhao Jun, they stood to study how to restore their original position.

"Now, we have three thousand cavalry." A brigadier general of Zhao Jun said.He took command of the former Colonel, whose troops were initially severely dispersed.By the time the Brigadier General realized this problem, it was too late to gather his troops.Now he managed to gather a force of comparable size.

"Although we come from three different combat units, we are Zhao Jun after all, and their combat command system is still there. Most importantly, our weapons have been strengthened." The Brigadier General said to all the officers present.

And all the officers looked at the brigadier general without saying a word.

"According to the latest situation." Brigadier General at this time.

"The ice blocks in the upper reaches have already drifted away. It is estimated that there are still two days, at most three days, and those ice blocks will no longer block the Qi army's way home." The brigadier general looked at everyone and said.

"So, we have to regain our lost bridgehead position within three days. We have to completely block the retreat path of the Qi army. Give our infantry an opportunity to annihilate all opponents." Brigadier General at this time Said.

After some officers heard the news, they couldn't help swallowing.

"Sir, our fighters are still short of manpower." A lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"I know, so, we need to arrange our manpower. Try to supplement those insufficient units with some other units. In this way, we can concentrate our forces to complete our mission." The Brigadier General said at this time.

"Well, okay." The lieutenant colonel said helplessly at this time.

"Okay, next, we will make arrangements according to our current plan." At this time, the brigadier general began to draw his own battle plan on the map.

The officers gathered around and began to study their battle plan.The soldiers of Zhao Jun waited quietly for their orders.

"Do you know where the second battalion and third company of the first cavalry regiment are?" Two cavalrymen led their horses and asked the resting soldiers.

"Sanlian? We don't seem to have a third company here?" A sergeant stood up and said at this time.

"Oh." A second-class soldier said with some disappointment at this time.

"We were separated from our company." The second-class soldier said at this time.

"Well, I know, a lot of troops are lost," said the sergeant.

"However, it seems that there are no people from the third company." The sergeant said at this time.

"Oh. Sir." At this moment, the sergeant saw their officer and shouted loudly.

"Sir, do you know where Sanlian is?" the sergeant asked at this time.

"Third company? The third company of the second battalion." A folder asked.

"Yes, sir, the third company of the second battalion." The second-class soldier said at this time.
