What happened in the military requires journalists to tell. This may be the worst period of time for Qin's intelligence system, and it is also the most special period of time.

"This matter is a bit serious, we must report it to the chief of staff," the adjutant said eagerly

"That's for sure," said the staff officer

Then the two quickly reported the matter

"Are you saying this is true?" Wang Jian also held a newspaper and said

"This joke, which I think should be true, is not a random joke," said the intelligence officer.

"En." Wang Jian nodded and said nothing. It's too late to say anything now, and the worst thing is that they themselves don't know if this matter is true, especially since he also received a call from Wei Liao, and he also called to ask. Did Wang Jian's incident really happen and did he get any specific information? But Wang Jian's answer was that he didn't know anything.

"Your Majesty" Wang Jian signaled everyone not to move

"We don't know about this either," Wang Jian said with some difficulty

"We are investigating the situation. If there is any situation, we will report it immediately." Wang Jian put down the phone gently after the other party hung up the phone. Obviously, this is the king of Qin who came to ask about the specific situation. Wang Jian's answer obviously disappointed the king of Qin.

And on the other hand, Shang Wen didn't know that something like this was happening because he was too busy to read the newspapers and they were calculating how much money they could raise for public infrastructure.

But Meng Yi read the newspaper and told Shang Wen the amazing news

"Have you read the newspaper?" Meng Yi said while holding a newspaper

"What's the matter, did the newspaper say anything?" Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi questioningly and said

"Let's take a look at this," said Meng Yi, handing the newspaper to Shang Wen

"What?" Shangwen took the newspaper in doubt and said

"Oh my god" said Shang Wen in surprise

"When did this happen? I'm in trouble now." Shangwen's first feeling is that this problem is a bit tricky, especially the problem with the navy. There have been many similar things in the navy.

"What should we do now? It's not sure whether the news is true. In short, there must be a problem with the navy. We have to solve this problem," Meng Yi continued.

"Huh" Shangwen let out a deep breath, in fact he didn't know what to do anymore

By [-]:[-] p.m., the newspaper had already reported the news. Ten hours had passed, and the Qin State officials still hadn't made a formal response.

"According to the news from the reporter in front, the military still has not made any response to the attack on Qin's merchant ships, and the high-level military has been summoned by the King of Qin. The prime minister's spokesman also kept silent on this matter," the radio broadcast reported in real time. said

"Now we are not talking about whether we are sure this news is true but what kind of countermeasures should we take? Maybe something like this is happening ahead, and we also know that journalists' news channels are always so weird," Shang Wen said.

"It's true that there is still no such news from the southern naval base," Wang Jian said. Wei Liao, Feng Quji and others also nodded in approval, while King Qin didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was a little cold.

"Latest news from your Majesty" Zhao Guo walked up to King Qin softly at this time and handed over a telegram

"Oh." King Qin took the telegram and looked at it, then signaled Zhao Guo to show it to everyone.

This telegram comes from the Southern Naval Base King Qin actually sent a telegram in the morning requesting him to investigate the matter immediately. Naturally, the Navy did not dare to delay this matter, because the State Lieutenant’s Mansion also sent it to the Admiralty’s Department of Staff. The Ministry also posted Shang Wen here, and Qin Wang here also posted almost the same content, to confirm whether this matter is true. Facing such pressure, the navy quickly sent people out to check the situation, but it is impossible for the navy to get accurate information within a day because It takes at least three days to see what is on site

However, the Navy is still looking for the reporter who first released the news. After finding the reporter, he then found the fisherman who provided the news. The fisherman then searched for another fisherman to confirm that it took half a day to travel a hundred miles to get the accurate confirmation of the news. Then Only in the afternoon did I quickly reply to a telegram

After reading this report, everyone stopped talking. Now it is certain that this incident happened. The next thing to think about is what to do. There is something blank in Shang Wen's mind. These things are so tortuous, which makes Shangwen a little distressed. Qin has initially shown two factions. One faction is developing land hegemony, while Shangwen's faction has no strength at all and has been repeatedly attacked. The current situation is like this. The navy has nothing to do.

708 took this opportunity to enter the Yangtze River

".

Shangwen is really troubled by the navy problem, because the development of the navy has encountered too many difficulties. It is too difficult for a country that has never seen the sea and developed from the northwest. Traditional land warfare is still oppressive. the Navy can hardly make a difference

"The navy is really useless." Feng Quji sighed, and Shangwen looked helplessly at Feng Quji. The fact is that the navy is now even the Yangtze River. There is nothing to control. What is the navy?

"It's useless to say these things now, we should think of a way to solve the current crisis," Wang Jian said calmly

"The general said so" Shangwen took the topic and said

"Can the general have a solution?" Feng Quji asked

"I'm afraid there is no other way except to develop the navy." After finishing speaking, Feng Quji looked at Shangwen, meaning Shangwen is cutting military expenditures? If the navy is developed, then how to solve military expenditures? And Shangwen is also thinking about this problem. At present, there is no other way but to increase taxes. There are too many bonds in circulation in the bond market, and too many banknotes are issued. Shang Wen has indeed thought about this issue, but at present he does not know how much banknotes are still lacking in the market. Will there be inflation like that? Shangwen has no idea what happened, after all he is not engaged in economics

"I think this may be an opportunity," Meng Yi said at this time

"Oh, tell me." Wang Jian looked at Meng Yi and said.

"When the incident happened, it happened to be in the control area of ​​Chu State. We can use various methods to let Chu State solve the problem of water piracy. At the same time, we can use the problem of anti-water piracy to develop and strengthen our naval power," said Meng Yi.

"It's good, but where does the power of our navy come from? It's hard to solve military expenses," Feng Qu said coldly

"I don't think this is the main problem. We can build a naval force by building armed merchant ships. We just need to give them the title of temporary reserve ships and they can be included in Qin's armed forces. Qin doesn't always need a navy to build up. Do you have your own reserve force, isn't there just such a force now?" Meng Yi asked back

Hearing such a view, Qin Wang naturally nodded his head to express his approval, and Shang Wen also nodded. This is exactly in line with his idea of ​​embedding the army in the people, and only in this way can the major problems in the development of the navy, especially the basic problems of the navy, be solved. Meng Yi is very good. solved the problem

As long as Qin State recruits those armed merchant ships in the name of the military, these armed merchant ships are Qin State’s reserve force and can solve this problem. Although it is too early to recruit the Qin State Navy reserve force, it can just make up for the weak foundation of the Qin State Navy. The development of the Qin State Navy has no commercial basis. Armed merchant ships are the reserve forces of the Qin State Navy, especially crew supplements. Ships are built and launched for use, etc. These have laid a solid foundation for the development of the Qin State Navy.

"As for the navy's ships, I think that the special bonds issued by the navy are sufficient for its use, and the navy can form a new military force with a little management of its recruitment and training of formations in the name of armed merchant ships," Meng Yi continued.

"Besides, Chu has just ended its war against my country, so we can make good use of the diplomacy card," Shang Wen added.

"Yes, that's true. Water pirates have already happened in Chu State, and water pirates are becoming more and more rampant. This has a lot to do with the Chu army's ineffectiveness in suppressing bandits. I think we can take this opportunity to cooperate with Chu army to suppress bandits so that we can enter the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. purpose," said Meng Yi

King Qin nodded in approval, Wang Jian was lost in thought, while Wei Liao looked at the expressions of several people

Then the official official response came after [-]:[-] p.m.

"The Qin government has taken necessary measures to deal with such incidents together with Chu. You must also know that Qin and Chu have just signed a series of agreements, and the peace between the two sides is hard-won. In order not to destroy the peace, we suggest that the two sides try their best. Use peaceful means to resolve such incidents, and I would like to make another point," the government spokesman said solemnly.

"Qin State resolved such incidents with great sincerity," the spokesman said.

"So what are the specific measures?" a reporter asked.

"I haven't finished this one, listen to me," the spokesman said

"Compared to what everyone knows, there has been a serious problem of water piracy before Chu State, and we are at war with Qin State, so water piracy has become more and more rampant. Now it has threatened the trade of merchant ships between the two countries. We should be responsible for such a threat to Qin State. Take up the responsibility that Qin should have"

"At the same time, considering some specific difficulties in Chu State, such as Chu State's naval forces are not very sufficient, we suggest that the two countries jointly combat water piracy and jointly maintain the safety of Yangtze River water transportation," the spokesman said.

"Will the Chu Congress agree?" a reporter asked.

"It's something we're working on," the spokesman said.

"Oh we get it," said the reporter

"Afterwards, reporters expressed their opinions on this matter one after another, but Qin State has already expressed a strong signal that it wants to participate in the safety of the Yangtze River water transport. This may make the Qin State Navy take the initiative to undertake some military tasks. All newspapers pointed out this. developmental anticipation

The main content of the meeting is also about Qin's plan to rely on the reserve force to win the war against water pirates, and at the same time strengthen the control of the reserve force, train and strengthen the Qin State Navy. Intermittent wars can make Qin's navy stronger
