After Qin State published the news of the navy for several days, Chu State's navy also got specific intelligence information, but Xiang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the navy, smiled.

These water pirates have offended a country that shouldn't be offended, and they are likely to use this to attract a tiger. A tiger that wants to develop a navy may give the other party an excuse to intervene in the Yangtze River Basin of Chu State.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yan not only shook his head, this matter is a bit difficult. The people of Qin are so smart, they will never let go of such an opportunity to intervene in the waters of Chu State, and use this as an excuse that if that happens, the national security of Chu State will not be optimistic.

709 missing

Xiang Yan's judgment is not wrong, Qin State did so and did it very quickly

The Ministry of the Navy of the State of Qin then issued an order to recruit all the armed merchant ships as the reserve ships of the State of Qin State Navy. Apart from commercial purposes, these ships uniformly accepted the training program issued by the State of Qin State Navy. The Navy temporarily built some special supply ships for special supply in order to solve the problem of supply difficulties for Qin ships

In order to strengthen the security of Qin State, two important measures were taken. The first is that the special marine corps began to board the ship to fight. armed merchant ships and some specialized warships

Considering the problem of the weakening of the ship's close-up defense when the ship is large, the people of Qin State proposed some solutions of their own. The first is to increase the speed and rely on the sailing speed to get rid of the close-up. The second idea is to redesign the ship as a sealed ship and adopt a sealed hatch, that is, use the force of the gears to close the hatch from the inside to improve defense and install fire extinguishing facilities. Coal-fired fuel is specially designed for storage in the cabin, and some weapon systems are also sealed. They are welded with fully enclosed steel plates, which means that all ships in Qin State no longer use some wood but all steel for processing.

However, the ships of the Qin State in this period were still made of flat-bottomed boats suitable for navigating the freshwater rivers of the Yangtze River. These ships are not suitable for sea navigation, but what the Qin State needs at present is this kind of ships.

The Qin State Navy needs a period of time, and this period of time has put some pressure on the Qin State Navy, but when the Qin State Navy was developing, one person ran into obstacles everywhere in Qin State. This person is the special envoy of the State of Yan.

Qin State already knows what happened on the eastern front and also knows what will happen next to Yan State matter

King Yan was at a loss when he received such news. He didn't know what to do. If he knew earlier, he could have avoided such a situation by retreating. He should have listened to Qin, but it's too late now.

In the end, the King of Yan put his last hope on the State of Qin. He hoped that the State Council of Qin would help the State of Yan to achieve a miracle, so he sent messages one after another to Ju Xin in the State of Qin to find someone who could help the State of Yan to help the State of Yan and told him The last bottom line of Yan State is that if they cross the national border, everything will be difficult

After receiving such an order, Ju Xin immediately came to Shang Wen, he hoped that Shang Wen could provide some help

"I said a long time ago that we should listen to those military experts. If the Yan army retreated as soon as possible, maybe we would not have faced such a situation," Shang Wen said in a lectured tone.

"Yes yes yes" Juxin nodded and said yes

"Then Qin State will give us Yan State some assistance so that we can stabilize near the national border?" Ju Xin said the purpose of this trip

"I'm afraid this is troublesome. You should know that the situation in Qin is not very good now. As for military supplies? We will find a way to do this," Shang Wen said.

In fact, Shangwen has nothing to do, and Qin and Fang can't come up with any good solutions. The key is that the country of Yan has no power to use.

"Yan country doesn't have any reserve forces to use what we can do," Wang Jian said looking at the huge sand table

And the surrounding staff also think that the Qi army has a strong new force, and the Yan State probably has no usable army except for the army that has been left for too long and has lost its combat effectiveness.

"So will we send troops?" asked one of the staff officers

"Of course the troops will be dispatched." Wang Jian looked at the staff officer and said.

"It's impossible for the people in the sky to come out of the ground, who are the people of Yan Kingdom? Are they our mother-in-law? They're nothing, so it's enough to send out the heavenly army," Wang Jian said.

Shang Wen's thinking is consistent with Wang Jian's. He also believes that Qin has no need to send troops, especially the intervention of ground forces. The loss of air forces is only a few aircraft, etc., but if the ground is invested, the cost will be quite large.

But if you don’t invest in ground forces, then the battle on the battlefield will be unfavorable to Yan, and the people of Qin can’t think of any good way to solve this problem, and Ju Xin has to come to Shangwen every day.

"The Special Envoy of the Kingdom of Yan is here to see you," the assistant asked.

"No," Shang Wen replied directly

"Understood," said the assistant

"The special envoy, our prime minister, just happened to be out and needed to inspect some places, you know Qin is so busy," the assistant said

"Oh, I understand," said Ju Xin

The next day

"Our prime minister has gone to Xianyang Palace," the assistant said, and Ju Xin smiled helplessly. He felt that the Qin people were hiding from him on purpose.

The same was true on the third day, but the reason was the same as yesterday, which made Juxin feel a little unbearable.

Just when the special envoys of the Yan State came to Shang Wen one after another, the Qin State Staff Department finally came up with a plan, which was to use mercenaries to help the people of Yan State to fight the war, but it was a defensive war. Rather than offensive and counter-offensive operations, this line of defense has undergone repeated weapon deduction. The military believes that as long as the defense is estimated, it can barely withstand the opponent's attack.

The prerequisite is that Qin State needs to fund a batch of new weapons or defensive weapons to help Yan State establish such a line of defense. Shang Wen nods after listening to this. At present, he can only do so because time is running out. Mercenaries are easy to find in the north. There are many Zhao people, and many of them like to fight wars to make money.

However, in terms of weapons, Shang Wen thinks that the assistance from Qin State is not much. After all, the war in the Western Regions has not yet been completed. Some obsolete weapons have not been shipped back to manufacture. Military orders need to be made by the people of Yan State themselves. The question is, do the people of Yan State still have money? Shang Wen Gotta ask Joshin that question because only the rich can defend national borders

Changes on the 710 aircraft

".

The economic development of Yan State is not slow among the other six countries. At least they have their own iron factory and coal mine base in Liaodong. A large amount of coal and iron are transported to the northern iron and steel base of Qin State. At the same time, medicinal materials such as ginseng are also transported. There are also a lot of leather and wood, etc. The paper industry in Yan State is also relatively developed. One-third of the paper in Qin State comes from Yan State, and most of the paper demand in the six countries comes from Yan State, because Yan State not only has large papermaking equipment but also massive deforestation

But other countries give up because they don’t have the technology and equipment. For example, the Chu country in the south can’t produce paper because they don’t have such technology and equipment.

Generally speaking, the country of Yan still has a few things that can be taken out. The country's economic and industrial development is inseparable from the management of the country's economy. The economy of the country of Yan obviously lacks due management, especially the king of Yan, who is crazy about these things in order to satisfy his selfish desires. The taxation of enterprises puts a heavy burden on these enterprises and makes it difficult for them to develop in the long run, especially if they do not have enough funds to expand the scale of enterprises

The worst thing about these enterprises is that it is difficult for these enterprise operators to obtain some major infrastructure guarantees, especially the guarantee system like Qin State. The reason why Qin State develops so fast is not only the light taxation, but also its huge investment in public facilities, such as large-scale The construction of the railway in Qin State was completed through competitive bidding, as well as the expressway network, the urban water supply system, the sewer system, and the Qin State’s urban power network system. In order to provide lighting for Xianyang, the first city with a population of more than one million, Qin State also vigorously developed it. The impact of the public lighting system is that people in Qin State have great convenience to stay and work in Xianyang of Qin State

And these government investments have also stimulated the development of many economic industries, such as the construction industry of Qin State. The output of cement and steel in Qin State is growing extremely fast. Not only the output is fast, but also the emergence of leading cement pouring technology in Qin State's construction technology, so that the construction can be completed. faster and better quality

Not only the construction industry, but also the power generation industry in Qin State. Stimulated by the public lighting system in Qin State, the power generation industry in Qin State has developed rapidly. A series of power plants have been established. The scale of power generation is getting larger and larger, and the power of generators is getting bigger and bigger. There is also the manufacturing industry such as Qin's lighting wires. In order to obtain government orders, they will definitely increase innovation, so that Qin's electrical development will be faster.

It can be said that Qin’s rapid economic development is inseparable from Qin people’s painstaking efforts, especially Qin people’s large investment of funds to obtain the expected results. This is what Qin people should have obtained.

On the contrary, King Yan's inaction, especially the crazy taxation in terms of taxation, has placed a great burden on Yan's economy. This burden has a great negative impact.

The Kingdom of Yan not only has the need for war, but also the personal needs of the King of Yan. This demand is that the King of Yan has extensively repaired his palace. Rather than repairing it, it is more like rebuilding the Yanwang Palace. A five-story reinforced concrete building is built. The buildings are all brand new. The fiberglass converted floor was covered with ceramic tiles that only a few families in the Qin State could afford. The entire palace also had an independent palace system. In order to decorate this building, the Yan State also used specially customized crystal lamps. You know, there are no crystal lamps in the Qin Palace. It can be seen that its decoration is very unusual

Yan State is such a waste of taxes and spares no effort to use military expenditures to build palaces for itself. When Shang Wen heard these reports, he even felt that he should not help such a government, but in fact Qin State can only do this because Yan State and Qi State are still at war with Qin State. A country needs to consume the military strength of both parties to achieve its goal of depleting national power

And Qin Guo also knew that Yan Guo could not last long, and even said that the country's collapse was imminent, especially when the Qi army wiped out the frontline troops, they would immediately counterattack. This threat does exist.

"We need to use air power to carry out continuous air strikes against the incoming Qi army to destroy the opponent. Another point is that we need an aircraft capable of fighting at night to curb the Qi army's night combat behavior." Wang Jian is just purely military. point of view

"Our plan is that the space army is responsible for seizing air supremacy and attacking the airships that continue to fly into the air, and our army aviation is attacking ground targets," Wang Jian said. banner

Qin's air combat force is still the main force of aircraft and airships. The difference is that the airship has undergone comprehensive improvements. First, it adopts a rigid airship, which means that its defense has been improved to a certain extent. Second, the filling gas has become helium instead of helium. The aforementioned hydrogen gas will make Qin's airships safer and more reliable.

The last is the weapon system of the airship, because the airship has a large load capacity, which is much better than that of an airplane, and Qin Guo had experience in using air gunships before. They found that installing large-caliber machine guns on the airship can effectively kill ground targets, especially It is to load some artillery, although the caliber of the artillery is not very large, it can provide sustained target killing

Qin's engineering designers also upgraded Qin's airship weapon system while transforming the airship

The lower part of the airship uses harder fiberglass to make a transparent cabin. This transparent cabin can rotate 36o degrees left and right. The machine gun can rotate up and down from 18o to 36o degrees. Two large-caliber point [-] dual-mounted air-cooled machine guns are installed. In this transparent hemispherical cabin

In this way, the machine gun compartment can continuously shoot the ground. In other places, the airship is also equipped with machine guns, such as two machine guns on the front, rear, left, and right sides. In total, the airship has as many as ten machine guns, and the firepower is super fierce.

Not only that, Qin State engineers also refitted a three-inch artillery at the left door of the airship. The cannon can fire solid bullets and grenades, but mainly grenades because the artillery is mainly aimed at ground targets rather than air targets. Not very big, mainly at this time there are no armored targets to attack

The three-inch cannon is equipped with as many as 120 rounds of ammunition, and the ammunition of the machine gun can reach [-] rounds. Not only that, the airship also has a particularly user-friendly toilet facility, because the pilot reported that the previous gunboat needed to stay in the air for more than half a day. Peeing in the air while wearing a seatbelt is such a sight

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the airship specially installed a toilet device to provide convenient services for the pilots. This can be regarded as humanized, but the life of the pilots is not so good. First of all, the airship sometimes has to stay in the air temperature above [-] steps First off, some people can't breathe
