The supply of resources in the south mainly depends on the supply from Chu State. For example, the copper ore comes from the Jiujiang area of ​​Chu State, and the tungsten ore doped in this ore, etc. The non-ferrous metal mines in the south are what Qin State needs most. These things are from Chu State. The country uses ships to ship from the Jiujiang area across the river, and then transports it to Xinzheng by ox cart. From Xinzheng, it is transported by train to the iron and steel factories in Taiyuan and other places in the north. There, Qin produces various steel products and then uses them in Qin's domestic construction or partially exports them. For the six countries, the Yangtze River waterway transportation played a very important role, and it was necessary because of the need for Chu's navy. On the contrary, the existence of Qin's navy was somewhat redundant.

The state of Chu occupies a golden position in the middle and lower reaches, where the fishery can feed the entire waterway area, while the navy of Qin is located close to it. The population living here is moderate, but there is no need for transportation. At most, it is timber transportation in the upper reaches, but this is not enough to support a huge navy. The most needed is a naval army similar to that of the Chu army.

If you need to change it, you must change the transportation. Use the convenience of waterways to change horizontal transportation to vertical transportation. Qin uses convenient railway transportation to go directly to the naval base in Jiujiang. All kinds of products come back, only in this way can the navy survive and grow

Insufficient development in the south is the root of the problem. Shangwen is changing this situation. The Qin State wants to build railways and highways in the south and lay cables to control the south. In addition, the development of the south is also steadily advancing. Sugarcane has already obtained a certain area in the Bashu area. Planting oranges is also being transplanted. Wheat is expected to be harvested in April and May for the first time due to the special geographical environment. The double-cropping system will first be born in the Bashu area. These are all changing the economic situation in the south of Qin State. This is a direct way to improve the road condition. For economic reasons, Qin's navy will benefit from this

604 Time and Space

".

"Although our army does not have an advantage in numbers, our weapons are very advanced. We can fire machine guns with a speed of more than 1 rounds per minute. This speed is likely to be faster than this theoretical speed in actual operations, but there are such Why can't our army quickly deal with the enemy"

"Airplanes, airships, cannons, machine guns, mines, grenades, all the weapons we can provide provide why the front line is still in a defensive state instead of completely solving the enemy"

"The enemy will not be wiped out for a long time, and the people of our Qin State will continue to spend countless money for this war. We doubt the ability of the front-line generals."

A report titled "How long does the war take" was published in the mainstream newspapers of the Qin State. This article caused a huge sensation in Xianyang. This was the first targeted article in the Qin State, and its target was directed at the Qin government.

The article challenged the military openly in the newspaper with a questioning tone. Although Qin’s newspapers have set up a supervision department, the freedom of the press is still very large, and the newspapers have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the government in a targeted manner, but they are all small troubles. The second time is the army The army is a sensitive topic and this article can be said to be the first time

The army has advanced weapons and logistics supplies, and there are a large number of horse convoys and trains to transport them. Soldiers can eat meat every meal. They wear coats, knitted sweaters, and down jackets. A large number of civilian airships provide support

But now the result is in front of you, that is, the Allied forces are on the defensive as a whole. It is reported that several defensive support points of the Qin army are surrounded by the enemy. The number is conservatively estimated to be between 3000 and [-].

The last thing that must be the point of public dissatisfaction is why the military is so inactive at the expense of taxpayers

The article has a lot of prejudice but can arouse public dissatisfaction

"May I ask the military how to explain this article?" a reporter asked at a press conference of the General Staff Department.

"I think many people have a lot of misunderstandings about the military. The actual situation of war is that such things happen often, and the simple advantage of weapons cannot end the war in time. Of course, what we mean is not to veto the performance of an advanced weapon." Military Immediately took steps after seeing the newspaper article, such as explaining the conduct of war

"But why does it take so long?" the reporter asked back

"I'm sorry, this involves military secrets and I can't tell you all," the press conference ended hastily.

But the reporter started to write articles as if he got some kind of hint, the battle cannot be resolved quickly, and began to publish comments. These comments are very biased, especially Yingyu's several large mainstream newspapers are hyped like iconic banners.

"These reporters know what they are doing to interfere with our military operations." Wang Jian was very dissatisfied with the newspaper's reports. The reporter seemed to have a grudge against everyone. Yesterday he wrote about the incompetence of a certain official, and today he wrote about the immoral deception of a certain company. Now the reporter The spearhead is actually directed at the military. This is an organization that requires secrecy and has its own unique technical expertise.

War is not a child's play, and there are many uncertain variables in war. Even if one side has an absolute advantage, a fatal change will occur under a chance. Although the theory of war is gradually being analyzed, there are many cases in the military textbooks of Qin Dynasty, but the public has a strong understanding of the military. The action lacks sufficient understanding. Wang Jian wants to talk to Wei Liao on the phone to discuss the possible impact of public opinion pressure on military actions.

And Shang Wen knew after reading the newspaper reports that this was Ying Yu's iron fist method, using the pressure of public opinion to force him to speed up the war process and end the war early

However, Shangwen has become accustomed to this. When the U.S. Army landed in Somalia, it was defeated by journalists. When a landing force landed, they found that there were many "long guns and cannons" to greet them. The news is more powerful than the CIA agents, especially in some major military operations. The pressure of public opinion leads to the emergence of many military impulses. For example, the Rolling Stone project. Journalists wrote about the pain of the Vietnam War and aroused strong anti-war demonstrations, which directly forced the US military to take military action to bomb North Vietnam forced it to sign the armistice and quickly withdraw to end the Vietnam War. The middle news media acted as a chemical catalyst.

Thinking of this, Shang Wen feels that it is necessary to provide some suggestions to the General Staff and the National Lieutenant's Mansion, that is, to report some military actions so that the war can be directly displayed in front of people, and to allow reporters to enter so that they can understand the real war. Fang newspapers in order to form official propaganda

Moreover, it is necessary to modify some military plans to cater to public opinion so as to solve some problems. Ying Yu's move has changed the purely opaque state of military operations. Military operations are no longer some high-level decisions that are affected, as well as public opinion.

Because the orientation of domestic public opinion affects the morale of the frontline and the support of the popular war is also affected by **, especially the issuance of bonds

King Qin was very angry after reading the report. Although he wanted to close down those newspapers, the impact would be even worse, so King Qin could not interfere too much.

After consultation, the military decided to revise the plan, but they must first gain an upper hand in public opinion and then learn more about the actual situation on the front line.

The military's press conference the next day announced the actual situation of the war. Wang Jian's Wei Liao and others accepted Shang Wen's suggestion.

"Army Daily" and "Tianjun Daily" were established one after another and published some military professional articles explaining the time of the war, but these military newspapers played a trick

They introduced the two concepts of time and space for the first time and initially explained how military operations can change in the comparison of space, time and power, and this topic quickly attracted the attention of some people in Xianyang discussing national affairs

Unexpectedly, this move could actually promote the development of the military theory of the Qin Dynasty. The theory of space, time, and war power began to come into people's sight. This theory introduced the concept of mathematics, geometry, and space into military theory. The students of the military academy began to try to use mathematical problems. Explain the cause and effect of war

605 chain economy

The train station in South Korea is the busiest place where large-scale machinery and equipment are transported every day and then transported to the leased area of ​​Qin State or the nearby South Korean area by crawler machinery vehicles

There, a large number of textile, clothing, shoe and other factories were established. The establishment of the factory was too fast. The installation and commissioning of the factory machinery and equipment were carried out at the same time. Some factories even installed and produced in the open air in order to catch up with the progress, but a building material helped them solve the factory The emergence of cinder blocks and steel frames can meet the requirements of building workshops while producing

The rapid establishment of the factory made the goods made in South Korea a strong competitor of Qin's low-end goods. South Korean "bad guys" came to the South Korean factory to pick up the goods, but it was very chaotic at the beginning. There was a time when the payment did not mention the goods or It's the phenomenon of goods being taken away without payment, but this situation has been curbed

Commercial and trading companies registered in South Korea began to appear. These companies also used female civil servants for the first time. In order to solve some outstanding problems as soon as possible, these companies also hired a large number of civil servants and management talents from Qin State for management.

In this way, the formal company system began to be established in South Korea. The traditional businessmen and merchants injected new strength, and the Korean economy entered the fast lane.

However, his neighboring country, Zhao State, is a large-scale energy mining country. Qin State’s exploration technology, especially the use of some mechanical equipment, enabled Qin State’s technicians to discover a large amount of coal resources in Zhao State. There are not only coal but also a large amount of iron ore. Iron is always produced concomitantly, and the application of exploration promoted the Great Leap Forward of Qin State Geology. Qin State technicians finally understood the different functions of geology, such as the understanding of faults. The bottom of the Fen River Valley is caused by faults. At the moment, there are also names of various geological layers. The sedimentary layer is where coal fossils are concentrated. This is a preliminary judgment.

The emergence of these coal mines has given Zhao the "black gold" that is comparable to gold

Coal has begun to replace firewood in the traditional sense, and the temperature has also increased significantly. With the wide application of coal, briquettes have become a necessity for ordinary people to keep warm.

Coal has also driven the rise of other industries in Zhao State, such as the transportation industry, Qi State, Chu State, Yan State, and South Korea all need coal. Qin State-owned railway transportation can be completed, but other countries are not driven by interests. Zhao people started coal transportation and they drove ox carts. The police on the traffic road transport the mined coal to various places in groups

However, coal mining is a high-risk industry. Every day in Zhao State, a large number of people die from coal mining gas explosions. Although the technicians of Qin State suspect that there is an explosive gas, they are willing to study for free. The north of Qin State is open-pit coal. The impact of coal in Zhao State Qin State-owned Security Act protects the safety of employees, but Zhao State does not have these. As long as you produce coal, you will make a lot of money. It is nothing to die for money.

In order to speed up production, blasting technology quickly entered the coal mining industry, which also caused a large number of deaths. Every coal mine will see a group of crying women and coal mine theory almost every month, but it will not help. The thugs blasted out the life safety of the coal miners. In Zhao Gao, you rarely see a digger staying for a long time.

Misery can't stop things from happening. It's a crazy time. Those who broke out mining coal soon became the new force of high society. Bribe officials and coal mine owners began to conspire to oppress those coal miners or drive away those who had coal underground. Incidents of injustice happen every day, and the country of Zhao, which is not legally binding, has become very crazy. The upper class spends their days and drinks. Women from North Korea and bearded women from the Northwest have become their hotbeds for pleasure. Luxury hotels have developed greatly in Handan. Exposed short skirts Short-sleeved underwear began to become the main consumer goods for their enjoyment. A large number of luxury goods in Qin State were concentrated and sold in this area.

In Yan State, the economy shows no signs of recovery, but is getting more and more depressed. People's business income is confiscated by the government. The unrestrained wars in Yan State and the selfish desires of King Yan have been greatly satisfied. The new buildings are in Yan State. Many tall palace buildings appeared in Yan State

And more and more folks are leaving Qin State and Xinzhou. Taxes are too high, and those officials are bullying the market. For example, Ju Xin has monopolized the entire export of wood to Qin. Without his order, not a single piece of wood can be shipped out of Yan State. The shrinking business can only be concentrated on the luxuries of the upper class, especially the abnormal consumption of alcohol. Thirty percent of Qin's domestic alcohol production is used by Yan. In addition, a large number of female slaves are purchased by Yan. Korean women become Yan. Items that symbolize the status of the upper class in the country are also crazy in the upper class of Yan country

The impact of the war in Qi State increased the burden on the people of Qi State, but the overall economy of Qi State did not collapse. Although the production of sea salt was affected, it was not replaced, and another emerging industry rose rapidly. Because Qimin adopts the original well drilling method and uses barrels and other tools to exploit shallow oil. After the oil is extracted, they can exchange items with Korean businessmen.

But the state of Chu has the biggest change, good geographical advantages coupled with rich resources, especially agricultural resources

After the contiguous land in Chu State began to plant economically, rapeseed was widely planted as an important edible vegetable oil, and the output of flax oil was very limited, while the rise and development of Qin State, especially the food industry, could not satisfy the emergence of rapeseed as a new oil crop.

Qin's agriculture is a typical farmer's form, mainly planting wheat. Qin's wheat has seriously impacted the food production of the six countries. The use of chemical fertilizers, tractors, and slaves has left the newly established small peasant economy in the six countries with no room for survival, with one exception among the six countries. Chu

Rice has become a powerful counterattack weapon against Qin's wheat attack. This is because Qin's food production researchers discovered the correct way to use rice by accident. Qin's own country cannot produce rice on a large scale. Water resources are relatively tight. Chu State has a large reservoir, the Yangtze River

606 is crazy

".

In short, under the influence of the chain economy of Qin State, Qi State and Chu State still maintain their economic independence and integrity, which still poses a great obstacle to the unification of Qin State.

"What did the telegram say?" Li Xin asked

"Let us launch an attack as soon as possible, you can see for yourself," Wang Ben said with a telegram

Li Xin received the telegram and saw

"Are the above crazy and want us to launch an attack before mid-April?" Li Xin said incredulously
