"What are you giving?" an old woman asked as loudly as possible

"What are you sending? There are too many things. There are noodles, rice and oil," the house slave shouted loudly, which immediately attracted people from the villages near Handan. These things are the necessities of life for them. These necessities can make them Living a good life for a while, I heard that there was something to send to Murakami, and the people began to gather around

"Is this a gift?" The villager asked uncertainly

"Send it for sure" the house slave said loudly

"We will not only send you back to Handan, but as long as you vote for our lord, this thing will be yours." The slave pointed to the carriage behind him, all of which were box-style, and inside were leather sofas. This is equivalent to the treatment of Zhao Guo's luxury car, but it shocked the people in these villages.

"Which one should I use when I go to Handan?" the villager asked uncertainly

"Yes, just use that," the servant said with certainty.

"We will send you to Handan for free, and then you take a carriage to Handan to vote, how about we let you go around and bring you back?" The slave said with a smile

"You are not a human trafficker, are you?" Villagers think that such a good thing can happen in the world

"Look at what you said, the reputation of our family is there, and as many of you can go." Anyway, the more people go, they feel safe and the more votes they can get, because these people are willing to trade things for the most important thing. It's because they can't read and have no interest in politics

"Are you going?" one woman asked another

"Go and have a look. My child has never been to Handan. I heard that Handan is very big." The woman said encouragingly.

"I've never been in such a good carriage. Let's go and have a look." In this way, the two women encouraged each other and got a bag of flour, a bag of rice, and a can of Qin State flaxseed oil from the slaves. This is the best oil.

Seeing that the two women and their children really got the rice noodles and oil, and they were able to take a good car to Handan, all the people started to sign up desperately and stretched out their hands to get noodles, rice oil

In this way, Zhao Guo’s ballots were completed in this way. The so-called election. These people were pulled into Handan in batches. After voting, they circled around Handan City and then pulled back to the original place. These people didn’t know what they were doing. They didn't even know about the election of the prime minister. They only knew that they went to a place, asked for a name, pressed a fingerprint, and drew a hook on a piece of white paper. That's it. Then they saw how the people in the bustling city of Handan lived. There is nothing but envy, but their children have started to have new dreams. In their childhood memories, life in the city is far better than their life in the village. Guo Kai didn't know that under the unintentional act of bribing the election, he would be let down. The children of Zhao State began to have the idea of ​​going to the city and had a dream of the city. In their view, the city is a place with rapid development.

However, Zhao Guo's election voting was completed under such circumstances, and the nearby villages were being pulled into the city to complete the voting. For Handan City, they adopted another method, which was to directly buy an election ticket with money for one and a half taels. The price then rose to two and a half taels, but the reason why Guo Kai paid the money was that the bankers of Qin State could lend money to Guo Kai to be elected as the prime minister of Zhao State.

In order to increase the number of votes in Handan City, Guo Kai recruited a large number of jobless street gangsters. They obtained a large number of votes through a series of illegal means such as deceiving, threatening, spending money, hiring forged names, etc.

It is difficult for Guo Kai to think wrongly through such means, and the Zhao people in Handan City have relatively weak political awareness, and their main energy is on making money, while other Zhao people, especially those in remote mining areas, need to walk for many days to come to Handan. According to the election voting time, they don’t have much time at all, because the newspapers that disseminate the news were cut off intentionally by Qin and Zhao’s newspapers, or they were sold directly.

Just when Zhao Guocheng's election became more and more clear, the situation in Yan State was very bad and very bad

"The Qi army has captured a large number of soldiers from the Yan army, but they have no interest in the captives at all. They are still advancing rapidly. It seems that their targets are Yandu and Liaodong of Yan State. There is an iron ore area supported by Qin State." The Qin* Incident Observation Team reported that

After receiving the report, the Qin army had been mentally prepared for this, but now is not the time to send troops, because the Yan army has not yet formed a defense line that can resist the rapid attack of the Qi army, and since it has entered late autumn, some grounds have already experienced frost. The situation is not suitable for digging trenches, of course it can also be done with great effort

But Qin Fang thinks that even with such fortifications, it may be difficult to make a difference. Thinking about it, it is impossible to complete because there is no defense force in the country of Yan. This problem is the most critical.

"Even with a natural barrier like Hangu Pass in the Qin State, it may be impossible to complete such a defense. The defense depends not on natural barriers but on people," Wang Jian said meaningfully.

So the staff nodded in approval. This is the biggest problem for the country of Yan at present. They lack the necessary people to defend their country, especially they need a decent combat force, but such a force does not exist.

The only combat unit in Yan State that has retained a division. The equipment of this unit has become outdated and there is a serious shortage of personnel. The military observation team of Qin State checked the situation of their division.

"The soldiers are all local ruffians, these people are all empty-paid guys, they are either the sons of a certain general's family, or they are the sons of the nobles of the Yan Kingdom, what they see in them is a group of weak people, they have no blood at all. They are not worthy of fighting, only worthy of being killed or deserted or surrendered"

"Their weapons are also very old and backward. One thing can show the condition of their weapons. I found that some of them couldn't put on the bayonets well. The worst thing about bayonets is their muskets they use old fashioned flintlock guns that need to be constantly replaced with flakes but many of them don't have flakes and the barrel suffers from rust stains and ash inside is not wiped clean if Soldiers like those in the Qin army would be knotted and tied with a hundred army sticks, and then fined to clean the toilet. Except for weapons, they are personnel. This is a master-level army. If they are full, they have more than 3 people, but the actual number is less than 5000. They have no more than two regiments at most, oh my God, the current national defense of Yan State is actually handed over to such an army," wrote a military observer

".

"Such an army can't resist the attack from the Qi army at all. The individual combat capabilities of the Qi army are very strong. Their individual quality may surpass the soldiers of the Qin army. Their fighting skills and rapid-fire weapons far surpass us. And they are far superior in terms of equipment. It is possible that our country provides a small machine gun specially designed for close combat (here refers to the submachine gun) this gun can fire five hundred rounds in 1 minute and a thirty round magazine in an extreme time Such a powerful firepower is enough to suppress those rifles that only have a single shot at an extreme time. The gap is too obvious," said a military observer.

However, the Qin army did not pay too much attention to the small machine gun mentioned later and this new type of weapon. From the standard of the Qin army's procurement of weapons, it seems that this kind of fire rate is very fast, but the weapon using pistol bullets has a natural shooting distance. It is a pity that the shooting accuracy is very bad. The military is not optimistic about this weapon, and they think it is a substitute caused by Qin's previous arms trade law. The Qin army is not very optimistic about it.

Qin Jun's dislike of this is also his own reason, and they are trying their best to sell and show their expertise in this area. Their first customers are Yan Jun.

Everyone knows that the fighting power of the Yan army is poor. This difference comes from human factors, not because the Yan people's fighting will is weak, but because their national system can't arouse this fighting will among the people. On the contrary, their excessive tax collection weakens this bloody spirit. Now the war has changed the factor that the human body directly relies on physical strength to win. Physical strength begins to drop from the main factor to a secondary factor, and another factor rises rapidly. This factor is weapons. Whoever has advanced weapons and has some special advantages will have Incomparable advantages

"Hoo hoo hoo!" An armored combat vehicle equipped with a water-cooled machine gun and a rotatable turret is galloping on the exercise ground of the Qin army. This is the first standard armored combat vehicle of the Qin State, manufactured by the United Automobile Factory of the Qin State. Armored combat vehicles use a relatively mature crawler system. The engine is placed at the back and an aluminum diesel engine with a power of [-] horsepower is used. In the north of Qin State, especially Guyuan, there are a large number of rare earth resources near Baotou, Inner Mongolia. It is through these rare earths that Qin State produced some Great advances in rare specialty metals, especially aluminum, these new materials have huge advantages in reducing medium weight and providing beneficial heat-resistant fastening

In terms of the power provided by the engine, the diesel engine has advantages over the gasoline engine, especially when used on heavy crawler transport vehicles. In World War II, Germany also tried to manufacture and popularize this powerful diesel engine tank, but Germany lacked the necessary rare earth resources. The special thing is that the engine has a natural advantage, and Germany just lacks this kind of resource, and Russia is rich in this kind of resource because it controls Siberia, but now Qin is not worried about this because Qin has mastered a place that produces rare earths.

However, it is worth mentioning that the armored combat vehicles of Qin State at this time used four-stroke diesel engines instead of the later most powerful two-stroke diesel engines. At this stage, a prototype was not produced, so the power of the diesel engine used by Qin State has a certain level. However, the two-stroke diesel engine is already in the experimental stage, and I believe it will not be long before it will appear in automobiles.

This kind of armored fighting vehicle uses two people to form an armored fighting vehicle. The internal space of the armored fighting vehicle is extremely narrow because the tank itself is not very big. The entire armored combat vehicle can only carry two people and corresponding supplies such as fuel and ammunition

One member drives one person to operate a machine gun. All armored vehicles are covered by riveting and welding. The thickness of the armor is only [-] to [-] thick. The thickness of the steel plate is riveted. In some special places, welding is used to complete the armor. The thickness is not very thick and the Qin State At the beginning there was no special distinction between the front armor and the side armor All armor thickness is the same

The power of the horsepower drives such a thick armor to be a little difficult, so in terms of speed, the speed of the armored chariot is only about [-] miles per hour. This speed is already very fast for infantry, but compared with cavalry, it still has a certain degree of mobility. The gap is all about cross-country performance. Armored combat vehicles are not as maneuverable as horses, especially in mountainous and hilly areas with steep slopes. Sometimes armored combat vehicles cannot go up.

In terms of weapon system, the Qin State Factory originally installed a two-inch small-caliber artillery, but the space inside the armored vehicle was too narrow and had to give up. In the end, it had to choose a machine gun as its main weapon. The armored vehicle lacked good sightlines. Especially for the driver, there is only a small gap to see clearly, so the experts from Qin State used a periscope for the machine gunner to observe and communicate with the driver. The actual situation is that the armored combat vehicle is very noisy. The machine gunner can only use hand gestures or loudly Only the driver can understand the yelling, and the machine gunner has to keep shooting all around. The machine gun is the most effective weapon against tanks. The Qin infantry cannon can kill this kind of "waste" tank. The Qin infantry said by themselves.

Sometimes the driver also has to wear a pistol to shoot through a certain gap. The main purpose is to protect the armored tank. It can be said that the protection of the armored tank can only resist the attack of bullets, not the attack of artillery.

In terms of the suspension system, the State of Qin used a relatively advanced hydraulic suspension system, which is actually not very mature. The tracked vehicles of the State of Qin mostly use a suspension system with both springs and hydraulic pressure. Hydraulic suspension is still an immature new technology.

The hydraulic suspension requires plastic materials with better sealing performance. This material is extremely wear-resistant, so it needs to be replaced constantly. It can be said that this is an experimental product.

The state of Qin has such tracked armored vehicles and equipped them with two companies experimentally. However, the methods of use of these two companies are very different. One is to use it alone, mainly according to the cavalry mobile charge tactics, and the other is to use it with infantry, but the infantry is average. I don’t want to match this kind of armored combat vehicle. First, its speed is very slow. Sometimes the infantry walks in front of it. The main reason is that the armor stops constantly due to malfunctions. In addition, the armored combat vehicle has limited vision. If the vehicle is reversed or the infantry is on the side, then It is easy to crush yourself when the armor is maneuvering left and right. Several soldiers have lost their legs because of this, so soldiers are very pessimistic about this kind of thing, and they are unwilling to fight with armored vehicles. When soldiers contact armored vehicles, it is normal They all like to smash the armor of the armored tank with the butt of the gun because they think it can retaliate against the tank

In addition to these, Qin is also equipped with a company of armored vehicles. The armored vehicles are riveted with iron plates on the basis of Qin's D-type vehicles. Because of its low horsepower, Qin can only match some rifles or light infantry on it. The fire defense of armored vehicles with machine guns is due to infantry, but the artillery is barely very weak. The experimental results of the Qin State showed that this armored vehicle can be penetrated by the old bronze artillery used by the opponent at 150 paces. If it is hit continuously, it may catch fire. It was completely destroyed because the gasoline used was highly volatile

Qin State combined two companies of armored tracked vehicles and one company of armored vehicles, plus a logistics support company and a special infantry company to form an armored mobile battalion. This was Qin's first experimental armored warfare formation.

On the observation exercise platform, Qin Fang invited Ju Xin, Crown Prince Dan of the State of Yan, and the military officer of the Ambassador of the State of Yan, who had been frequenting recently, to observe and observe.

Qin State demonstrated their superiority in armored warfare because it is impossible for other countries to manufacture armored combat vehicles. Only Qin State can manufacture armored combat vehicles, and Qin State is also the only big country with a rising automobile industry.

Li Mu and the others didn't say anything, while Qin State General Wang Jian kept introducing it because according to the proposal made by the Qin State Supreme Conference, Qin State plans to sell armored vehicles to Yan State, and Qin State wants to sell this armored vehicle to Yan State. The equipment of the battalion was sold to the Yan State at a high price in order to exchange for more funds to build a more powerful armored force. At the same time, in the State of Yan and the State of Qin, we have to test two different ways to use armored vehicles, which is more effective and has a lethal effect.

The Yan people kept looking at these weapons that can run back and forth and can defend and attack. This weapon can move and stop. The most important thing is to realize the two contradictory combinations of offense and defense.

In fact, Yan State has lost the possibility of building a line of defense in a short period of time, and it is impossible to defend its own country's national border. This is a fact, but the appearance of this armored tank weapon can greatly improve this situation. Yan State can Use armored vehicles to build a solid line of defense This line of defense can be built with the help of armored vehicles

Such a defensive line can be completed by lining up the chariots, and the people of Qin State think so too. That is what Qin State means by letting the people of Yan State see it.

"This is Qin's newest armored vehicle," Wang Jian said.

"This weapon can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. The most important thing is that it cannot be destroyed unless it is attacked by artillery," Wang Jian said.

"The most important thing is that this weapon doesn't need horses to pull it, and it adopts the crawler, which can crush all the infantry in front of it." Wang Jian introduced confidently, and the special envoy of the Yan Kingdom and Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom both expressed their appreciation for this weapon. arms show great enthusiasm

In the Warring States Period, the biggest threat to the infantry phalanx was the chariot. In the past, the Qin State equipped a large number of chariots for use as battlefield assault and mobile forces. Especially the huge impact of chariots posed a great threat to the infantry. Yan State is also an old warring state. In the understanding of this old warring state, chariots have an incomparable status. Before Yan Guo also tried to restore chariot troops, but with the rapid update of infantry firearms and the appearance of artillery and cavalry troops, this car is so heavy. The weapons have withdrawn from the stage of history and played little role in the battlefield

First of all, his target is very large and the combat effect is not very good. A four-horse chariot has little chance of backhanding in front of the shotguns fired by the artillery. If one of the four or two horses is hit, it may cause damage. The chariot rolls over during the high-speed impact, and this self-rollover will bring a series of unimaginable consequences

Secondly, with the emergence of automatic weapons, especially machine guns, it is difficult for a carriage to form an effective combat force among high-speed shooting eggs. Even cavalry with strong mobility may withdraw from the battlefield. There is no such thing as a bullet rain of up to 1 rounds per minute. That hot-blooded body can block bullets fired at high speed
