The development needs of Qin State are increasing, especially copper, chromium, nickel and other wires require copper wire, special steel, a new type of alloy steel, stainless steel, and a car boom is gradually emerging in Qin State. These demands have intensified the demand for raw materials.
Chu's ox cart transportation can no longer meet the needs of Qin, and railway transportation has become the biggest demand.
Raw materials from the Wuyue Jiujiang area take a boat up to the Yangtze River transport point by train, and then they can be loaded directly to Xianyang, South Korea, Xinzheng, Qin State, and directly in the middle of the Chu State. The ox cart logistics is transferred to the waterway transportation with a larger loading capacity and convenient shipping, and can be transported through the Yangtze River waterway. Stimulating the economic development of the upper reaches, especially the Bashu region, can control the economic lifeline on both sides of the Yangtze River. The Wuyue and Jiujiang regions have become two important sources of taxes for the Chu state, especially some traditional nobles of the Chu state have also begun to enter these areas to develop and rely on their power. Status and financial resources are dividing their respective Shangben economic exclusive zones, which is a typical Shangbun local monopoly
"The Shangwen document is here and there are specific things that happened, but there is still a research report, the problem should be more serious." Meng Yi shouted loudly outside
"I'll take a look at what document." Shangwen stopped thinking and hurried out to check the contents of the document. The first was a unilateral report on the navy's sunk destroyer. The navy believed that the main reason for the destroyer's sinking was that the opponent used a large amount of black powder and a huge explosion. cause a secondary explosion
After checking it, Shangwen thinks that this is a suicide ship made by the Chu people themselves. If this is the case, it will be difficult for the opponent, just like the kamikaze special forces. The use of electromagnetic interference machines and other equipment by the Allies is useless because it is a matter of human will, not a machine. question
The second report comes from the commercial system Qin State allows arms smuggling, but the smuggling is state-inspired, otherwise there are so many arms factories Qin State cannot afford to support itself, but smuggling is smuggling. You must submit your shipping manifest, which is what this report is about.
This report shows that the Chu State canceled [-]% of the gunpowder orders at once, especially after their army refitting was completed.
"What does this mean they don't need ammunition to use guns?" Naomi asked incredulously
"There is only one possibility." Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen
Only then did Shangwen recover
"You mean they have mastered..." Shangwen asked tentatively
"It is very likely that they have already used the formula for the gunpowder..." Meng Yi said speculatively
"Oh my god" Shang Wen couldn't believe that Chu State had mastered the technology of making black powder so quickly, which means that Chu State could manufacture powerful weapons. Shang Wen looked at the first naval report in his hand.
"It won't be related to this." Shangwen waved his hand
Only then did Meng Yi realize that the sunk destroyer of the navy was sunk by a huge explosion
This situation has exceeded Shangwen's tolerance.
The reason is that his opponent has raised a level, and their gunpowder supply will not be affected. Originally, this was one of Shang Wen's methods to deal with Chu in the future. The material blockade now seems to be invalid. The opponent has an extra hand
"Huh" Shangwen let out a deep breath, this is really bad news
"We have to find a way to solve this problem. This incident may trigger a war between the two countries, and the Guowei Mansion called to say that they don't want the war to expand. It is best to focus on a certain area." Meng Yi said that if this time Initiating a war will affect both sides, because the economies of the two countries already have deep cultural ties, and the two are inseparable from each other. If the expansion is reckless like before, the damage will inevitably be the victory of the two countries, and the price will be high for both parties. None of them are victors. With the rapid economic development, the military has to consider economic issues, especially after interdisciplinary studies. Scholars have begun to look at wars from various angles. Wars are unfamiliar to Qin, but why do Qin people have to deal with wars from another angle? Be rational
"It is true that a war cannot be expanded. A war must be fought in a certain area. I think it should be fought in the Yangtze River waters. At most, it must not be expanded in the limited land area on both sides of the Yangtze River," Shang Wen said.
"How to do it?" Meng Yi asked that war is a competition of willpower between two parties. The other party will not follow your willpower unless it is not a war and there will be no war.
"How to do it?" Shangwen stood up and thought
"How to do, how to make the other party obey my arrangement**The war expands the area" Shangwen said to himself
"What if we use news to report society?" Meng Yi suggested
"Newspaper" Shangwen asked back
"For news newspapers, we can expand the influence of public opinion like the last naval incident and use our reporter's advantage to report our positive image, so that our war image and the scale of the war can be effectively controlled." Once it interferes with the government and becomes a powerful tool for the people to respond to factual issues to the upper echelon, especially the amplification effect of the media. A matter is often exaggerated and publicized under the report of reporters, so that it can attract more people's attention. News is supposed to use this feature. Increased publicity
The profession of journalists is even more terrifying than spies. They always find that a small problem leads to a big problem, or directly ask questions, as long as they can earn more people's attention and attention.
"I think it can be done as long as we give some guidance, and the mainstream media doesn't have a newspaper in Qin and Chu, and our newspapers won't report such unpatriotic things," Shang Wen said.
Afterwards, Shang Wen and Meng Yi discussed a series of specific details. For example, before the war, there are still many diplomatic actions to be done. Qin should actively prepare for the war and not rely on diplomatic issues to resolve disputes, because sinking a destroyer is already a declaration of war. Behavior, but Qin is not yet ready. Diplomatic negotiations can show that Qin is very "polite" and then make excessive demands to show Qin's peace-loving determination, so that Qin's navy can provide limited time to prepare.
The next step is to use the news media to take advantage of Qin’s helplessness in launching the war and its attitude of controlling the expansion of the war. Shang Wen and Meng Yi drafted a memorandum of naval incidents for reference at any time.
King Qin immediately convened a special meeting to resolve the issue of the navy when he learned of this matter. King Qin’s support for the navy was not a huge interest after going to sea, but only military and national dignity. After all, King Qin is equivalent to half of the navy faction. There are very few people who develop the navy. Shangwen advocates the development of the navy faction, but there is a traditional consciousness in the country of Qin. This consciousness is just like Fan Zeng's crazy idea. Under this ideology, various resources are more or less tilted towards the land. There are clear signs of paranoia in this strategic awareness
The essence of the King of Qin is also such a mentality. The traditional unified policy of the Qin State is the manifestation of this consciousness. Unification ** and ignoring the ocean. In fact, it cannot be said that the above people lack consideration of where the recent threat of Qin State comes from. Land and ocean threats are not great. say zero
Another follower of the ocean is Ying Yu's starting point is not for various resources, but to go out to sea and explore the world. This may be the most innocent follower.
The navy lacks a foundation, but Shangwen is still fighting for various rights for the navy bit by bit. After all, Qin is a traditional land country. It is not easy to develop a navy. The foundation Qin needs a foundation.
The high-level executives are discussing some content proposed by Shang Wen nervously, and the newspapers of Qin state published an alarming news. This news comes from the south and is related to the Yangtze River waters, and can directly affect the price trend of copper in the Xianyang futures trading market.
"Recently, there have been several vicious murders and ship robbery incidents in Chu, Wu, Yue and Jiujiang. Most of the perpetrators are local fishermen. They specialize in robbing passing ships carrying silk, tea, and non-ferrous metal ores. If the owner lets go, these pirates will kill each other. But if If you don’t let go, vicious murders will happen.”
"It is known that local fishermen and boatmen have salvaged several corpses in the water. According to one boatman, more than 30 corpses were found floating in the water, and some of these corpses were some businessmen from Qin State."
This only ignited the local enthusiasm of the people of Qin State to pay attention to the Yangtze River waterway in the south. People's anger has not yet ignited a great influence, but the financial market took the lead in reacting.
The four futures contracts of silk have risen one after another. Not only silk but also tea, rice, copper ingots, zinc ingots, tungsten ingots, tungsten ore, etc. are rising. Investors hook the market and supply raw materials. Prices will generally rise.
And the report that followed was even more surprising.
The main force of the Chu State Navy is on standby upstream to prevent the Qin State Navy, which leads to a serious shortage of water pirates in the local area. Water pirates have become a huge disaster in the short term. The impact of this disaster is the reduction of ships on the Yangtze River waterway, especially the cross-strait transportation. As a result, the supply of various materials has begun to decrease. The various raw materials piled up in Xinzheng's warehouse will be consumed within three months. At that time, it will not only be affected by the lack of raw materials in their factories in South Korea, but also insulated wires in Qin State and Qin State. The output of special steel is expected to decline rapidly by about [-]%
"We have to pay all kinds of protection fees to those water thieves to barely get through. They have to add protection fees to various raw materials, and we can't do anything about it." The original words of a businessman were adopted by reporters.
And these water pirates are really too bullying and fearful. They specialize in attacking the private ships of merchants from various countries and avoiding the noble ships with extremely strict protection measures. This practice has caused many people who borrowed money to do business with banks to lose their money.
And their fate is to be killed by water pirates and throw their bodies in the river
"What did you say?" Shangwen and Yingyu called and communicated that he wanted Yingyu to build a shipyard in the south, but Yingyu told Shangwen an amazing news
"I said, don't you know that there are water pirates on the Yangtze River in the south? Where is the navy you built? Let me build a shipyard. Your navy has to protect us." Yingyu said bluntly
"Water pirates, water robbers, you can tell clearly," Shang Wen asked
"Just look at Shangwen's newspaper today." Yingyu immediately hung up the phone after speaking, and Shangwen immediately put down the phone to find today's newspaper. Sure enough, major newspapers reprinted the news one after another in the afternoon.
It was only at this time that Shang Wen realized that such a big event happened in the south. The most important thing was the merchants of Qin State.
"Hey, God let Qin go to sea. It's hard not to think about it." Shang Wen said with a smile that this gave Qin's navy an excellent opportunity to go to sea. It was accidental but inevitable.
624 shipyard
".
"Hahaha, I think I have found the reason for the navy to be a powerful country." After reading the newspaper, Shangwen finally thought that he had found a suitable reason for the development of the navy, and Qin also had a reason and the need for infrastructure construction to build a strong maritime country.
The problem of resource transportation, if there are no water pirates, Shang Wen really doesn’t know what is the meaning of the navy in Qin’s battle order. They just need to maintain a small naval force, but now Qin has every reason to do this resource transportation problem. And this already exists for the fact that it happened
Qin's industrial production relies on various industrial raw materials, especially the non-ferrous metal industry, which is developing rapidly. Qin's country is vigorously implementing electrification and high-pressure production. Polyethylene provides Qin with a relatively cheap insulating material, and this material can be used in large quantities. Large-scale production of other products because this material has good plasticity, such as plastic bags, plastic boxes, and various handicrafts made of plastic, etc.
The most important thing is that electricity can be safely used. Telephones have spread to some wealthy people. Home appliances and lights have spread to the entire Xianyang City. Not only the Qin family needs it, but even South Korea has signed a cooperation agreement with Qin to start building a power plant to generate electricity. First, supply the Korean royal palace. As long as the generator set is delivered to Zhao Guo, it can be installed. Even to save time, the utility poles have been installed in advance, and they are waiting to install Qin Guolai’s wires and generator sets. But behind these devices, Chu State relies on cheap copper mines, although other countries can also provide them. However, copper mines are poor ores, and there are few rich ores. The cost of beneficiation is relatively high, while Chu State has rare rich ores, and there are often other components in the ore. After screening, these components become new alloys, such as welding rods. extracted from ore
But now everything has changed. The water pirates have broken the balance of this supply. It may take a few years to end the effect of the continuous gathering of bullock carts, but now the state of Qin can no longer stand the rampant behavior of these water pirates.
Power stocks have to increase their budgets due to the rise in copper prices. Enterprises have begun to pay attention to the role played by Yangtze River transportation in enterprise production due to reduced supply.
Shang Wen initially wrote this idea into a small report and provided it to various departments as a reference, while the main report needs to be further revised based on the suggestions provided by various departments. This adjustment will likely mobilize more people to participate in it, especially major companies. If this If the navy bonds are issued at that time, Shangwen can bet that the power bosses will buy them without hesitation. As long as they go out to sea and solve those damn water pirates, they will never pin their hopes on the Chu State navy. They have absolute confidence in the Chu State navy. hostility and distrust of
