The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Page 438

The subsequent speeches of the spokespersons were all about irrelevant things, such as how the Qin army fought, the equipment of the Qin army, the tactics of the Qin army, the commander of the Qin army, etc. These are relatively important reports for the people of Qin who want to know the specific battle stories, but for the people of Qin. It doesn't help that things go any further

"We think the military seems to be hiding something. Our 300 people are surrounded. Why didn't the military come up with a specific solution? According to our observations and known information, we don't have many troops in Yan, and none of them are enough. ability to rescue these 300 people.”

"Not only that, it is impossible for us to mobilize a large army to help our army get out of trouble in an extreme time, so what will happen to the safety of these 300 people? We would like to know"

"The Qin government did not give a profound answer to these questions. On the contrary, they tried to talk about irrelevant topics as much as possible. We don't like to listen to these topics."

"What we care about is the safety of the soldiers of the Qin army, not the soldiers of the Qin army who are paying the price of their lives for victory. This kind of victory is not worth it at all, and we are selling our lives for the people of Yan. Can the lives of our own soldiers be sold like this?" Qin The country's newspapers wrote

There are many newspapers reporting on Qin, and there are not a few of them. Such reports put a lot of pressure on Qin.

But after much deliberation, these ideas are not suitable, because Qin and Qi have nothing to talk about at all, and they can't talk together.

For a while, Qin State fell into a desperate situation.

And in Zhao State, Zhao State was also in the tense deployment of troops. Zhao Wang followed Guo Kai's suggestion in detail, so Zhao Jun began to gather on a large scale. During the large-scale war, Guo Kai proposed to use the number of the Zhao Guo Volunteer Army to borrow troops

So a large number of Zhao** troops went directly to the Dao border, where they will cancel the Zhao royal family badge and use a kind of armband, which will read such words

The "Zhao Volunteers" sent troops to defend the Yan State. It can be said that they are just. This kind of justice has been greatly questioned.

However, the distant water cannot save the near fire. No matter how Zhao Jun sends troops to fight, he will not be able to reach Qin State's theater in time. Qin State hopes that Zhao State can send a special team to support Qin State and Zhao State. Can we drop this paratrooper unit with a changeover?

But this kind of suggestion was answered very quickly, no, no, no, no, this is Li Mu's answer. He thinks this army is an elite army with poor delivery capabilities. If Qin wants to use it, for example, provide aircraft and airships and these things. Only people from the state of Zhao use this, which is equivalent to taking care of it in disguise. With the air force, the state of Qin directly rejected such a request.

However, there is another country that has offered to help, that is, South Korea and South Korea hope to send 1000 troops to help, but when it comes to transportation, it is still a problem that far away water cannot save near fire, and the combat style of the Korean army is rigid and not suitable for fighting against the people of Qi. However, considering the relationship between the allies, Shang Wen still accepted South Korea's kindness

So South Korea sent troops to help Yan Guo and the number used was also Volunteer Army Korean Volunteer Army

In this way, Zhao Guodu of South Korea established a volunteer army

Since both countries have volunteer armies, why doesn’t Qin State form its own volunteer army? Qin State also wants to, but Shang Wen is considering it.

"Prime Minister, I think we should set up the Qin State Volunteer Army so that we can not only make good friends with Yan State diplomatically, but also provide necessary military assistance. The most important thing is that we can solve the problem of our 300 people in a short time." A military officer consultant said

"But where do we recruit volunteers? Do we need to know from the army that the army can be used?" Shang Wen said

"Not the army but our paramilitary forces that are our reserves," said the military adviser.

"En" Shangwen nodded

"But I still don't agree and I don't want to see it," Shang Wen said

"Sending volunteers means that we are participating in a civil war. I don't want to see it." In Naofumi's view, this is the behavior of fighting a civil war, and this behavior is extremely disgusting and disgusting.

Shangwen still doesn’t want to see a civil war like this happen, especially the state of Qin. Qin can send air power, but dispatch ground forces. Shangwen believes that the current situation has armored vehicles, cannons and machine guns on the ground. The lethal effect of these weapons is far greater than before. If Qin is involved in the civil war, then I don’t know how many people will die. The most important thing is whether Qin’s joining will lead to further outbreaks of war, because the Qi people will definitely not be able to withstand the joint attack of the four countries. They will definitely call helpers. This helper is Chu State Chu Once the country joins, the civil war will really start like that, Shang Wen is the last thing to see

Just because of this level of consideration, Shangwen is not willing to send troops, and it is still a volunteer army, no matter what form Shangwen will not send troops like this

"

754 Diplomatic solution

".

Regarding Shang Wen's stubborn view, Qin's advisers have no way to persuade him. In their view, this is not a civil war. It is just a country-to-country battle, and this kind of battle is normal, and Shang Wen always avoids it on purpose. Why is Naofumi always like this from the aspect of its policy formulation

This made his consultant very difficult to deal with, because this problem has been difficult to deliberately avoid in the past. Now more than 300 people in Qin State are surrounded by heavy siege, and Qin State can't do anything.

"Prime Minister, I mean we are like this..." The military adviser started to shake his head before finishing his words, expressing his rejection of Naofumi's bottom line is to send troops to intervene on the ground, because the final form of the current war and the ultimate victory standard are Ground warfare and air warfare are far from reaching that level, so in Shangwen's view, once Qin intervenes in ground warfare, the subsequent situation will be difficult to control.

"If the ground war intervenes, it will be very difficult for us to control the scale of the war. The ground war will cost countless money, countless resources, and countless lives. The price is too high, and the benefits obtained from the war in Yan Kingdom I don't think such a thing as a loss-making business with a huge gap between the loss and the loss will not be allowed to happen." Shangwen said firmly

In fact, Shang Wen’s view is correct, even though the use of volunteers means that according to the needs of Qin State, they will live and build in the Qin State’s concession area in Yan State. Employed volunteers use these volunteers to assist Qin State in Yan State. nothing even makes sense

But if you think about it carefully, it is easy for Qin to enter into a misunderstanding, that is, the use of volunteers is not a regular national armed force. This armed force is only a kind of national reserve force, but it is a private act, which has nothing to do with the country and is used by the volunteers. The target can be Qin or Yan. In short, this kind of freedom is relatively large.

But in fact, this kind of volunteer army relies on a strong backing. This backing is the state of Qin. If the state of Qin is willing to see this situation, it is very happy to see its own national reserve forces intervene in this war, but the current problem is that the state of Qin is unwilling to intervene. It is even intentional to limit the possible expansion of war acts within a certain range

"If volunteers are sent, who will be responsible for the logistics and who will be responsible for fighting this war?" Shang Wen asked.

"And you also understand that it is impossible for Qin to launch a war within the next year, and the country does not have the budget for military expenditure. The country is not yet capable of challenging future wars. The biggest thing Qin is doing now is to avoid big wars. Large-scale wars try to use diplomatic means to resolve war issues," Shang Wen said

"But the prime minister, we send only a small part of the volunteer army, and this part is only to solve the current crisis, which is different from our long-term strategic plan for the future," said the military adviser.

"I understand what you mean, and I also fully understand that we are all concerned about the safety of the frontline soldiers, but don't forget that our country is a whole, like this is a ship. This ship needs not only to solve how to sail, but also to solve it. There is a big way forward, especially when the ship will be docked, when it will be replenished, when it will be repaired, how far we have to go, we have to consider that we are not only solving the current problem, but also the long-term. Do you understand the long-term? The point of view is that the military adviser Shang Wen considers the long-term rather than the present. What happens today is likely to affect the future. Do you understand?

Although the military advisor tried his best to explain his point of view, Shangwen always insisted on his own opinion. The military advisor could not persuade Shangwen to adopt the method of temporarily recruiting volunteers to solve the current problem. As a result, the problem was still not resolved.

"Then what should we do about our problem? We can't watch the 300 people being wiped out. If they all surrender, the media will scold us to death. The public opinion is extremely unfavorable to us, and our influence will be greatly impacted. We have entered a dead end," the military adviser asked.

"It is true that our most important thing at present is to solve the problem of the lives of our 300 people," Shang Wen said.

"But there is one thing we don't seem to notice," Shang Wen said suddenly

"We seem to have focused too much on military methods and neglected other methods, such as we can use diplomatic methods to solve this matter, and there are other methods such as economic sanctions and arms export bans, etc. "Shang Wen said

"These methods can also achieve our own goals, and the current multinational forces are constantly mobilizing. We really need time to complete these. We can prepare for the mobilization of troops through diplomatic negotiations. What do you think?" Shang Wen asked

"I think this is okay and I agree very much," said the military adviser.

"This method provides us with more methods. I think it should work," said Military Gu.

"Well, let's immediately call other consultants for a preliminary discussion, and then we will report the results to the king and other departments as a reference," Shang Wen said

Afterwards, Shang Wen quickly called a large number of consultants for intense discussions, and the consultants compiled a report on possible events and countermeasures.

The content of this report is mainly that Qin will solve the problem through diplomatic channels, especially diplomatic negotiations. It is best to be in a relatively peaceful state during the negotiations. This state can be said to be a golden time for the 300 people. They can Keep resting and at the same time, Qin can mobilize troops from all parties and finally form a huge advantage at the last moment of the negotiation

This change in power can easily allow Qin to withdraw its troops without bloodshed, which is of great benefit to Qin and the control of future wars. advantage to oppress Qi

For example, the advantage of military mobilization, Qin State can use the developed railway mobilization, soldiers and weapons and equipment to suppress opponents. In the military, the people of Qi State have to consider the huge threat of Qin State in this regard. It is a very important principle to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is a very important principle for Qin. It is a very important criterion to consider in the negotiation between countries

In addition to military mobilization, Qin can also use its huge commercial network to achieve its goals, such as using material sanctions and commercial trade sanctions to achieve its goals.

The first thing Qin thought of was the weapons sanction Qi. Most of the weapons and ammunition of Qi came from Qin's arsenal, such as the valve rifle and the production and processing that you know. They are all being dumped to Qi on a large scale, not just rifles, but also logistical bullets. Qin is still producing this kind of old bullets, and with the expansion of the war, the demand for war bullets is increasing day by day. There is not a day when the factory does not produce this kind of bullets. of

If the Qin State suddenly stops the supply of ammunition now, it will not be long before the front line of the Qi State will have no ammunition to launch an attack, and their soldiers can only launch futile attacks with bayonet-mounted rifles.

Not only the supply of bullets, but also other supplies, such as grain logistics and supplies. Qin and Chu are currently the two largest exporters of commodity grain. Chu’s grain is mainly rice, but it is mainly transported to Qin by ships on the Yangtze River. The state of Qin, on the other hand, uses railways to transport a large amount of free meat products for export, especially the development of the frozen storage technology of the state of Qin gives Qin state a great advantage in food export, while the state of Qi is due to the huge consumption of the war and the deployment of human resources. It has a certain impact on agricultural production, mainly because the young and middle-aged labor force has been transferred, and the remaining labor force can only barely complete agricultural production. The barely completed agricultural production will lead to a decline in agricultural grain production, not just the output. On the other hand, the amount of grain stored in Qi State itself will also decrease.

War is a huge expense. Expenditure is supported by huge logistical supplies. This support mainly comes from the country's food stock capacity, especially in ancient times.

For this reason, the Qi State purchased a large amount of grain from the merchants of the Qin State through trade means. These grains are not only used for war, but most of them are stored in order to deal with other emergencies such as wars.

If Qin suddenly stops exporting grain now, Qi's grain supply will not be affected for the time being, but in the long run, its inventory will drop rapidly, which will lead to a large amount of grain shortage on the front line and in the country.

The emergence of a food crisis is likely to trigger a turbulent situation in Qi State. Not only does Qin State have food, but another resource is also in the hands of Qin State, that is, Qin State’s steel. Qi State also has its own initial military workshops. These workshops are in A large number of imitation weapons of Qin State, but their materials come from Qin State. If Qin State stops the supply of steel, it will not only affect the supply of steel and iron ingots, but also affect the production of weapons in Qi State. The cessation of the supply of resources is likely to cause direct damage to weapons. If the supply of weapons is insufficient, Qi will no longer be able to fight because there are no resources to support Qin, even if the goal of Qin has been achieved.
