But the Qi army didn't know that machine guns still have such hidden dangers. After all, they haven't used them for a long time and discovered this problem, but they know how to use machine guns. For example, in relatively wide areas, the Qi army usually intentionally shields machine guns in positions with a wide viewing angle. This position has a good viewing angle. If possible, the machine gun will be placed on the commanding heights that the charge must pass through. In this position, the machine gun can maximize its killing effect.

Qi Jun also learned from Yan Jun, not to say from Qin Jun, a particularly critical role, that is, cross-fire A group of three is arranged on the traffic arteries. The machine guns in a group cover each other, while the machine guns in a group give full play to their firepower superiority and shoot at each other, forming a terrible overlapping area of ​​killing. In the area of ​​overlapping firepower, the enemy will be twice as vulnerable to the machine guns. The shooting density of the Qin army is also accustomed to this arrangement method, which caused heavy losses to the barbaric nomads.

But now this tactic is applied to the Yan army. War is a place for mutual learning. The Qin army has a good place. The Qi army still accepts it. For example, the firepower is deployed on the commanding heights. It has been endowed with a special meaning. Sometimes, in order to control the commanding heights, a special big battle can be erupted on a large scale. For example, the most famous Battle of the Three Emperors in history was launched around the commanding heights. Napoleon used the commanding heights as bait and adopted central breakthrough tactics to achieve the battle. Purpose

The rapid upgrade of military weapons has also led to rapid changes in military tactics. The biggest change in the Qi army is not digging fortifications and extending from the surface to the ground, but they are studying a skirmish charge tactic. In fact, this skirmish charge tactic has already been used in Zhao State. Developed but their combat opponents are nomadic tribes, so infantry tactics have not been effectively used

The Qi army was on the offensive side. When attacking, they found that only by dispersing the soldiers in a certain area can this kind of massacre be effectively avoided. The Qi army was massacred by machine guns. lesson

Now is not the time to start fighting. The Qi army carefully arranged their defensive positions. Several important commanding heights around the traffic arteries are controlled by the Qi army, while the Yan army is still doing nothing.

The trenches at the commanding heights are being dug, and the barbed wire has been initially erected. The cavalry and infantry have fully considered the cost of living here. The Qi army is constantly pushing machine guns and cannons to the commanding heights or placing them on the nearest road that the Yan army must pass. Everything is under intense arrangement.

The Qi army's caution is the embodiment of an army's combat quality. If it launches an attack rashly, it will not be beneficial to the Qi army. It is not necessarily a good thing for the army to pursue fast. For example, their logistics supplies cannot bear it.

At the same time, the army may encounter a quick counterattack from the opponent's effective force. At that time, the army can't stop even if it wants to stop, and it is easy to be surrounded by the opponent and wipe out the effective force.

And the Qi army stopped at this time, which can be said to be very clever to slow down the rapid advance of the army. Not only that, the Qi army can use effective fortifications to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the opponent's vital forces.

During the Warring States Period, great changes have taken place in combat, that is, from the crushing operations in the Spring and Autumn Period to large-scale mobile encirclement operations. This kind of elimination of military power means directly attacking the entity of a country. This was the case in the Changping War that year. The Qin army took advantage of the favorable opportunity to retreat and completely surrounded the opponent's viable military power, which caused a great loss of Zhao's national power and shook the entire Kanto for a while.

This kind of siege warfare has obvious oriental characteristics. Western warfare likes to use the tactics of defeat, but the East likes to attack the minister from the flanks. Compared with the huge encirclement combat effect, this Eastern tactic can completely solve the problem, but it needs to be used. Pay a lot of risk. This risk can affect the outcome of a battle or even a war.

When the Qi army was laying out the fortifications, Yan State did not think that Qin State and Zhao State partnered to cheat Yan State out of the remaining financial funds.

The army of Yan purchased military weapons on a large scale in the state of Qin, and the state of Qin was very interested in military orders. Except for some heavy artillery and special combat aircraft, the military orders were almost fully released. At the same time, the banks of the state of Qin borrowed money from the state of Yan to the state of Yan. A large number of military loans were obtained, and these loans were quickly returned to Qin's military production, and Qin's factory owners returned the funds back to the bank, because only with deposits can they borrow on a large scale and then expand their production scale to snatch more order

Yan State did not buy Qin State in vain. Qin State will send a special military observation and training team to help Yan State train a new type of Yan army capable of fighting. Because Yan State already had a new type of army before, if there is another new type of army, I am afraid. It is difficult to highlight the special significance of the newly established army

In this regard, the people of Yan State are more considerate than the people of Qin State, because the majority of the capital is Yan State Prince Dan, because the foundation of Yan State’s new army is the special armored mobile regiment that Yan State has just established. Prince Dan not only purchased a full set The Qin State Armored Fighting Vehicle Battalion also purchased a batch of tracked and wheeled motor vehicles. These vehicles can tow some light artillery and have strong maneuverability. On this basis, the Armored Mobile Regiment of Yan State was established.

Then this regiment also needs to be equipped with some artillery regiment engineering battalions attached to the infantry regiment, etc., and then compiled into a division-level unit, which was canceled because the brigade-level command seemed too cumbersome.

Considering that the investor and the right to use the establishment of the new army are in the hands of the prince, Qin Jun called it the Prince's Army. The news of Qin Jun spread like wildfire to Prince Dan's ears, and he shouted loudly.

"Prince Army Prince Army..." Prince Dan whispered to himself

"Very well, it will be called the Prince's Army in the future. Although there is only one division now, we can have a second division and a third division in the future." Prince Dan exclaimed excitedly

"According to Qin's establishment, an army can be formed," the relatives beside him echoed in a low voice.

"Yes yes yes" Prince Dan said excitedly

"According to the establishment of Qin State, it should be called the first division of the prince, the second division of the prince, the third division of the prince"

"Then establish the Prince's First Army," Prince Dan said excitedly. In fact, what Prince Dan is thinking is that if this kind of development follows, then he will have a new military force and it is likely to become the pillar force of the Yan State. Then the military power of the Yan State In fact, it fell into the hands of Prince Dan during the war. Thinking of this, Prince Dan is naturally more excited

In fact, Qin State also had this kind of consideration. Whether such a bold support for the crown prince of a country to set up an army is to arouse the sensitivity of the king of the country? Qin State also had this consideration, but Qin State quickly ignored the existence of this problem because of a large number of people The emergence of military orders has stimulated Qin's military production and at the same time brought great demand for the country's economy. These incentives are enough to allow Qin to obtain a considerable tax and prosperity. Others are not considered by Qin.

Qin State did not plan to interfere excessively in Yan State's internal affairs, but the current situation has tied Qin State and Yan State together. Yan State's economy is closely related to Qin State. Although Yan State's domestic demand market is relatively small, But there is a huge demand for arms, because the country is constantly fighting. The national economy has tended to be in a weak state, but Qin State doesn't care about these at all. They only need the rapid development of their own economy.

Qin's stock index jumped from the original 120 points to more than 300 points, of which the arms contributed about [-] points. One can imagine that Qin's economy would not develop so fast if there was no war.

War is disastrous on the other hand, but on the other hand it has a greater role in promoting. Some economists in Qin State just saw the great contribution of war to Qin State, so they began to publicize their views in the school.

"The effect of war on the economy is very obvious. War needs all kinds of materials, from weapons to soldiers' uniforms and a lot of food. All these need to be produced by someone, and our Qin State's industrial base can produce a large amount of these materials and then If these materials are resold and sold, what you get from clearing the ditch is wealth.” An economics professor tried his best to publicize an economic phenomenon he discovered in the classroom.

"The role of war is not only in the production of materials, but also in the issue of employment, which is a very research topic," the professor mentioned.

"According to the prime minister, the economy is a redistribution of social resources, which also applies to people."

"People are also a resource. The allocation of this resource is also a part of the economy"

"People are divided into men and women." At this time, the students laughed because there is still a third kind of people in Qin.

"Don't laugh and take this seriously" the professor signaled the students not to laugh and continued the lecture

"In peacetime, the distribution of human resources is mainly through commercial activities and various forms of competition, but is this distribution reasonable?" the professor asked

"It is not unreasonable that any system has its disadvantages, which cannot be avoided"

"But war can make this system and the allocation of human resources more efficient and reasonable, because the efficiency will often increase a lot in the absence of it"

"For example, war is a disaster for men, because the country has to send a large number of young and middle-aged men to the front line to fight, and everyone will die. If they die, they will not be replenished in a short period of time. Therefore, people are also a kind of consumable. Then the front line fights. What should we do if the country grows food and supplies when there are too many people?" The professor continued to ask

"I have also thought about this issue. Then there is another resource in this country, which is women. If the country can effectively centralize and manage the resources of the entire country, it will play a greater role. If there are men fighting on the front line, then women With the help of machines, more weapons and materials can be produced. Now the industry requires less and less physical strength. The number of technicians only needs a few working days of training to achieve it, especially the convenience brought by assembly line operations. In this case, women can still be normal. They go to work in factories like men, and Qin State has become very normal.” The professor obviously visited various factories in Qin State Equality between men and women is an important social issue, and women's rights are greatly guaranteed compared to the six countries

However, the professor then returned to another level. After all, women's issues are not his research direction. His main research direction is the centralized management mechanism of the wartime government, that is, unified management according to the country's laws and regulations. This idea is mainly to study the history of the Qin State before. Every time the Qin State fought wars, especially after Shang Yang’s reform, this situation existed at a high level. It can be said that people only thought it was a political system at that time, but they did not expect that there were a lot of economic backgrounds hidden under this political system. These economic backgrounds were precisely is the neglected place

Qin’s wartime economic management idea does have a historical background to check, but it also has a great market prospect. The country to promote it is Yan State. Qin’s government and cabinet members have already begun to write this idea into a report and submit it to Shang Wen for further investigation. consider

"What do you mean to suggest that Yan State should unify all the powers and then carry out production according to Yan State's own wishes?" Shang Wen asked

"Yes, only in this way will the country of Yan have wealth, and only in this way can we gain more benefits," said a government cabinet member.

"How big is the benefit?" Shang Wen asked

"We don't know about this, but the potential is huge, and only when Yan's economy develops can we make more money and merchants can pay more taxes," the official continued.

"No, I don't think so. The market is still free. Only in this way can our government expenditure be reduced. The society has more resources to be distributed naturally. If it is managed by the government, then think about how much money we need. Does the country still have financial funds for us?" Shang Wen asked

"No, it's impossible to give it to us," Shang Wen replied

"And our banks can only carry out investment activities when they are free. Capital can be exported on a large scale. These capitals can help us control a country," Shang Wen said.

"Only freedom can make our military orders fly all over the sky and let more demand stimulate our production. I don't agree with this, and now is an excellent opportunity for us to enter other countries' economic entities," Shang Wen said

"Okay, don't mention this report." Shangwen vetoed the report

The reason why Shangwen rejected this report is because it is not in line with the current main situation. This is Shangwen’s own opinion. In his opinion, what Qin’s economy needs is a lot of freedom, not only Qin’s family, but also many other countries. In this way, only by continuously reducing the areas controlled by the government while relaxing the degree of freedom and allowing free trade to expand rapidly can the economy develop rapidly and investment and business activities can be accelerated.

The prosperity of the economy is largely due to the degree of liberalization. Shangwen lives in the United States and naturally knows how prosperous the economy is brought about by this kind of freedom. But at the same time, there is another hidden danger, that is, the excessive inflation brought about by excessive freedom will eventually lead to The development of the bubble economy

And this kind of wartime economic policy actually emphasizes the government's ability to manage and control. For example, this is the case in Yan State Looking at the repayment ability of Yan State is very poor, even worse than that of Zhao State. Zhao State has a large number of coal mines that can be used as collateral, but Yan State only has a small part of gold mines, coal, iron resources and timber resources. Yan State should be allowed to integrate its own country's resources as soon as possible and have a certain repayment ability. Only in this way can Qin State be able to recover the original funds

But in the current economic situation, no one knows that the Shangwen faction is pursuing excessive freedom, and there is no other faction that emphasizes the role of the government. But from the current point of view, it seems that the Shangwen faction is more tenable, because the economic prosperity is a good example.

"Okay, you idiot, don't think about it." Shangwen is thinking about a question, whether to visit Zhao Guo, because the prime minister of Zhao Guo has been appointed, and the invitation letter for the inauguration ceremony of the prime minister has been sent to Shang Wen by telegram

"I want to go out alone and see if you are free or not. I will go to Xianyang by myself and I don't want to stay anymore," Ying Yu complained.

Xianyang has formed a unique urban life. Every day, people get up early and start to go to work. White-collar workers, students, teachers, and various vendors are living faster and faster. This can be seen from people's acceptance of time.

Watches have become a popular item for people. Everyone has watches. Men and women also have watches, especially those working-class wage earners. They check the time quite frequently. They either drive or take public trams to work. A time clock device allows The busy working class in Qin State has to rush around every day. Lunch has also become easier. People's pressure is also increasing.

For example, Ying Yu, as the scale of bank lending continues to expand, she has a lot of things to check. Although Xiao He manages some things, she still needs her signature to take effect. Even so, she is busy enough.
