The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Compared to building a large number of fortifications, the cheapness of using landmines is obvious.

The construction of a large number of fortifications requires a lot of financial expenditure. Think about the Maginot Line and the ancient Great Wall. This requires a lot of financial funds to be used for the construction of fortifications. However, from the current situation, it is impossible for Qin State to spend so much money to build so many fortifications. Landmines are cheap to manufacture. As long as they are arranged on a large scale, they can form an effective defensive zone. This is what Qin State is currently doing. the best choice.

"At present, there are only these two types of landmines. We need a variety of landmines to block offensive routes of nomadic tribes, and deploy mine belts on a large scale to form an effective defensive area to prevent further expansion. The impact on us." The procurement officer said.

"So, our Qin State Arms Factory will focus on the development and production of this area, but before that, we should order a batch of landmines as soon as possible to send to each of Qin State's border defense lines." Wei Liao knew, as long as it was sent. By issuing the tender, the State of Qin can get a large number of excellent landmines.

"In addition to landmines, we also need a series of defensive tools, such as barbed wire. We need better barbed wire." Wei Liao said.

"In addition, we have to make some other defensive weapons as much as possible. At present, Qin's overall strategy is defense." Wei Liao said. At present, due to the reduction of military expenditures, the army cannot keep large-scale offensive weapons, so it can only work **** defensive weapons and use large-scale and cheap defensive weapons.

"However, Minister, I think. We should not place too much emphasis on defense." ‘A defense advisory officer suggested.

"Well, what do you mean?" Wei Liao asked at this time.

"Sir, I think so, even if we are defensive, no matter how powerful the mines are, the barbed wire can block a lot of cavalry and infantry. However, they are dead and quite passive. If there is no mobile force to provide corresponding support. , This is very unfavorable to our situation." The officer proposed.

"En. Not bad. Keep talking." Wei Liao felt that what the other party said made sense.

"Yes, sir." The officer thought for a while, sorted out the things in his mind and said.

"Therefore, in the next step of our Qin army, we should find ways to increase mobility, or corresponding training. In this way, we can form strong mobility and long-range projection capabilities." The officer said.

"En. Very good. Prepare this plan, we need a detailed plan." Wei Liao said.

"This is a very important development direction, and we should pay attention to it." Wei Liao has realized this. The army can't rely solely on strong defense. The combat capability of the army also requires considerable projection capabilities. Without these Qin Army's combat capabilities, it would be greatly discounted. Wei Liao knows this very well, and that's what Qin needs right now.

Daliang City of Wei State.

"Qin's special envoy told us that Prime Minister Qin didn't want the Provisional Government of Wei to expand its powers at once." Gao Ping said, bending his head.

"Oh. In that case, the State of Qin still needs us." The doctor took a sip of tea, and he was a lot more relaxed when he heard such a result. At least they are much safer.

"Yes, my lord." Gao Ping said.

"It's just that Prime Minister Qin doesn't seem to want King Wei to continue to exist, and asks Wei to set up a parliament and seek joint governance with Wei's interim government." Gao Ping continued.

"En. Such a result is more unexpected." The doctor nodded and said.

"Does anyone else know about other things?" the doctor asked.

"My lord, no more. Only you and I know about this matter," Gao Ping said.

"En. That's it. No one can know about this." The doctor said.

In Qin's request, he did not want the power of the Wei King to exist. In other words, as long as the Wei King stepped down or formed a government in another way, the Qin State would recognize the current situation in the Wei State. The scholar-bureaucrats in the Wei state were generally satisfied with the results, because they did not lose much of their interests, and such results were already very good for them.

Wei State Provisional Government.

"After some transactions, we already have a considerable amount of funds to buy arms and expand our armaments." Chen Yu said to Zhang Er.

The so-called transaction is the use of a large amount of cheap labor to send to Qin to earn labor fees for labor services in Qin. For these Wei people, it is a very worthwhile adventure.

Although the people of Wei Guo faced a large amount of arrears when signing the contract at the beginning, because going to the Qin State required a lot of transportation expenses. For example, the train ticket to the Western Regions and the initial board and lodging expenses were all problems, in order to solve this problem. They can only sign such seemingly unfair terms at the beginning. As long as they reach the Western Regions of the Qin Kingdom, they can earn considerable labor fees. Because the labor fee given by Qin State is quite high.

The merchants in the Wei State and Zhang Er, Chen Yu and others took advantage of this. When they signed the contract with the Qin Guoren, the Qin Guoren included food and lodging expenses, but when the final labor payment was paid, the Qin Guo company had to deduct a considerable part of the cost. Not only that, but for the transportation of laborers to Qin for construction. Locally, the Qin State Company also provided transportation. In this way, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, and quite a lot of Wei merchants actually only played the role of an organization, but without such an organization, they would not be able to proceed.

This is exactly the equivalent of a costless transaction. Zhang Er, Chen Yu, and a considerable number of businessmen made a lot of money. As a result, the Wei State Provisional Government levied the first batch of commercial taxes. After having such an income. The Wei State Provisional Government used to purchase a large number of weapons. Expand your army.

"En. Our militiamen also gathered quickly. Many people wanted revenge. With the use of captured weapons, our militiamen had three regiments and two battalions at once. For the first time, the strength of our militiamen exceeded the 10,000 mark." Chen Yu said confidently.

"If the South Korean army helps us again, we will have the ability to fight Wei Jun and take the Liangcheng, we will be able to control Wei." Chen Yu imagined.

"Brother Chen, do you think we can fight Wei Jun?" Zhang Er said without confidence. It has not been long since the Wei National Soldiers were formed, and weapons and equipment have not been generally equipped. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to fight a decisive battle. Zhang Er did not have such confidence.

"En. Can fight. We have the advantage of weapons, and there is also the help of South Korea. As long as South Korea helps us, we still have the advantage." Chen Yu said.

"The Koreans have artillery, and what Wei Jun fears most is the artillery. Wei Jun has been continuously beaten by the Koreans. As long as the war begins, we can win this war. This is simply a decisive war." Chen Yu said confidently to Zhang Er.

"It's just that, if we do this, can we really defeat Wei Jun?" Zhang Er asked unconfidently.

"It should be possible, don't forget. Koreans are on our side." Zhang Er said.

"But the Koreans will not do everything for us." Cautious Zhang Er said.

"Let's give it a try and it's fine. If we don't try it, we can't do anything." Chen Yu said.

"Okay." Zhang Er agreed. For suddenly solving Wei Jun's idea once and for all, Zhang Er's idea came from his evaluation of Wei Jun. The current Wei army is still an old-style army. Their weaponry, organization, and command have not changed much. During this period, the new South Korean army has undergone great changes, with great changes in weaponry, equipment, organization, and tactics. It is for this reason that the Wei Jun has been unable to resist the attack of the new South Korean army.

Seeing this, Chen Yu thought of defeating Wei Jun with the help of the new South Korean army. In this way, the Wei government would be able to get more rights and take down the main beam to gain actual control of Wei.

Chen Yu approached Wei's staff to discuss this matter. The staff members began to carefully ponder the feasibility of this operation. At the same time, this matter was quickly reported to Xinzheng. Hand it over to South Korea's Xinzheng to make the final decision.

"This Zhang Er is really a problem for us." Han Shu said after reading the telegram.

"They think very well. They want to use our strength to defeat Wei Jun." Han Shu said.

This idea of ​​Zhang Er did not take into account the feelings of South Korea at all, but said that South Korea must be in its own consideration, whether to help the Wei people, and to what extent. It all depends on Wei's delicate relationship.

"My lord, South Korea can't help Wei too much." Zhang Liang said after reading the telegram.

"En. We must also pay attention to Qin people's ideas." Han Shu said.

"Yes, the people of Qin definitely don't want a Zhang Er government to control the entire Wei state, nor do they want our Korean family to dominate and occupy the unknown Wei state at the center. The Qin people have agreed to our current situation. If we continue to expand, It is bound to arouse Qin's suspicion and vigilance." Han Shu said worriedly.

"Yes, King. We must take into account the thoughts of the people of Qin. At present, the relationship between Qin and our South Korea is extremely delicate and balanced. This balance comes from our small actions in South Korea and the same pace as Qin people economically. However, once we expand too much, this balance relationship will become unbalanced. If this is the case, it will inevitably cause Qin’s worry and vigilance.” After Zhang Liang read the telegram, he immediately thought of this, South Korea and Qin State is very delicate and balanced. If he rashly participates in the affairs of Wei State, this balance will be broken.

"Such a balance is very important to the development of South Korea. However, we have to help with the situation of the State of Wei. You must know that many of the current treaties of the State of Wei are assisted by the government, and if we withdraw at this time, In the future, it will be difficult to guarantee South Korea's interests in Wei. We must find a balance between the two parties." Han Shu thought about it for a while.

South Korea must make a choice between the Wei Provisional Government and Wei Wang’s government. However, South Korea cannot do too much, because Qin does not want to see the Wei Provisional Government expand its power further. If this is the case, South Korea cannot help. Too many, but if you don’t help, the Wei Provisional Government will lose some of the rights acquired by the Wei Provisional Government. If the war is won by the Wei Provisional Government, Zhang Er will hate South Korea’s behavior because of not helping. In this case, It is very unfavorable to South Korea.

But if you don't do this, South Korea will break this balance. This is something that Qin doesn't want to see. Therefore, the choice of South Korea is very important.

"Yes, the king. After seeing it just now, the minister thought of a way." Zhang Liang said at this time.

"Oh. Come and listen." Han Shu asked with interest.

"Yes, Lord." Zhang Liang said.

"My lord, what South Korea needs to do now is not to help the Wei Zhanger government excessively. The Zhanger government wants to solve the current Wei army once and for all. Of course, the Wei Zhanger government only has militias, and these militias are insufficiently trained. Weapons and equipment are not enough. Although they have a certain advantage in weapons, they are just a group of infantry. They need the artillery support of our South Korean side." Zhang Liang said.

"En. It is true. I have heard the evaluation given to them by the front line, the lack of training, and the lack of equipment. Whether their combat effectiveness can fight head-on with the Wei army, the staff's evaluation is not high." Han Shu said To.

"Yes, Lord. Therefore, as long as we give them a certain amount of artillery support and no cavalry support, then the final battle will be carried out by the Wei National Soldier. In other words, the final key to victory is still to rely on Militia." Zhang Liang said.

"In this case, South Korea will not break the original balance. It also takes into account the requirements of the Wei government. This is the best balance for us." Zhang Liang said.

"En. We only need to send artillery to provide some fire support. The rest is not necessary at all." Han Shu said.

"Yes, the decisive battle still needs the people of Wei to do it themselves." Zhang Liang said.

"Well, just settle it like this, let the people of Wei State decide their affairs." Han Shu decided.

And in the frontline staff camp account in South Korea. The South Korean staff were not optimistic about Wei's request at all.

"We don't need to play wargames, we all know that the Wei National Soldier who relied on the militia for a decisive battle will definitely be defeated." A major staff officer said disdainfully.

"That is, we are kind to help them train, but the attitude of their militia is extremely loose. It is estimated that after one round of shooting, they will find that there is no discipline. Their militia will be defeated. These Wei militias are really crazy. Said a captain's staff officer.

"If our cavalry participates, the situation may change a lot." Said the lieutenant colonel on the side.

"Yes, sir. It is true," said the major staff officer.

"With the addition of our artillery for fire support, the Wei National Soldier still has some chances of winning." The Director of Operations said.

The Chief of Operations had already imagined the battle scenes in his mind. However, this is only part of his imagination.

"There are still any situations that happen on the battlefield. If we don't use cavalry, what kind of consequences will this have?" The Director of Operations said while looking at the sand table.

"It is impossible for the Wei National Soldiers to defeat the Wei Army. Our artillery cannot be supported. The two sides fought together, used bayonets, and undertrained the Wei National Soldiers. How many of them can go to the battlefield. Stabilize this situation." The Director of Operations envisioned. All battlefield situations.

"Impossible. It is impossible at all. The Wei National Soldier has no such possibility at all." said the combat director.

"It's just, sir, why can't we use cavalry?" the major on the side asked at this moment.

"Politics, if we send artillery and cavalry troops, then this war will become ours. What we can do is to provide some fire support is already quite good." The Director of Operations said.

"It's impossible to send infantry. Our artillery may retreat after firing a base number." The Director of Operations dared to speculate. The reason why they dare to do this is that South Korea does not want to expand the war, because he knows that there have been a lot of disputes over the issue of military expenditure expansion. If South Korea participates, it will vigorously interfere. It is also in this consideration. Only then did the South Korean cavalry be removed and artillery was used as fire support.

On the Western Plateau of Qin State.

"Upa." The shopkeeper saw that Upa, whose arm had been cut off, was pushed to the ground by the Yue family.

"The shopkeeper." Upa was beaten and turned blue.

"Damn it." The shopkeeper was now suppressed on the edge of a cliff, and most of his hands were sacrificed to cover himself.

"The shopkeeper, they Yueshi people don't want to annoy you, they just want to discuss some business with you." Wupa said tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid." The shopkeeper said.

"The shopkeeper, the people of the Yue family want a lot of arms, a lot. They have quite a lot of gold coins in their hands. I don’t know how the people of the Yue family found me, but they gave me a very good price. We might as well sell them. It's okay," Upa said.

"I don't care about these. These **** Yue people should be killed." The shopkeeper's understanding of Yue people's munitions needs becomes that Yue people want to retaliate against Qin. Therefore, he absolutely ignores the other party's behavior, and is unwilling to leave his mouth to the other side.

"Bang. Bang." The shopkeeper fired with the revolver in his hand, and the bullet caused some confusion to the Yueshi people. Then the treasurer jumped into the cliff with a leap.

The Yueshi in the distance sighed after seeing such a scene, feeling very sorry, Yueshi wanted a large amount of arms to attack south. Because of the squeeze of the Qin State, they could only move westward, but they encountered a strong enemy on the way to the west, so they turned to the south.

However, Qin’s firearms caused a strong shock to them. They wanted to purchase a large number of Qin firearms to equip their army and prepare for the future southward movement, because they could easily defeat the enemy with such firearms. , They want to find people from the Qin country to discuss this matter.

They learned about the existence of Upa through the exchange of commodities on the market. They thought that Upa must have its own way, so they wanted to follow Upa to meet the people of Qin, but their method was wrong. There was a war between the people of the Yue family and the State of Qin. This made it even more difficult for the special team of the State of Qin to let go. The two sides formed a stalemate, and the people of the Yue family were eager to obtain the weapons of the State of Qin. After this clue is broken, they can only find another way.

The southern frontier of Qin State.

"You people from the Western Regions, why do you want so many arms?" a Qin businessman asked curiously.

"Oh. Your weapons are very good. They are powerful and easy to use. We use them for self-defense and self-defense." At this time, a Western Region businessman with a horned beard replied.

"Self-defense?" Qin businessman asked suspiciously.

"Don't be funny. With so many munitions, an army was formed. You have brought in more than 3,000 muskets from me. There are 30,000 bullets. With such dense ammunition, who are you deceiving." Qin Said the Chinese businessman.

"We consume a lot. They don't have enough training on this weapon." The Western Region merchant said quickly.

"Haha." Qin State businessman smiled.

"I don't care about these things. Don't tell me. Knowing too much may not be a good thing." Qin State businessman waved his arm and said at this time.

"As long as you keep buying from me, I don't care about anything." Qin State merchant said to the other party at this time. He knew that since the other party didn't want to say it, don't say it. If it does, it can only be used elsewhere. It is obviously impossible for the other party to speak out.

"So, what do you want to do?" the Western Region merchant asked.

"It's very simple." Qin State businessman said.

"Make more money." Qin State businessman said easily.

"There is a big deal now. I want to discuss it with you." Qin State merchant said at this time.

"What big deal?" The Western Region merchant asked at this time.

"What you buy are rifles, pistols and such things, how do you say such things. Lethality, yes. But it is too weak." Qin State businessman said.

"I have a batch of goods on hand, and the power is amazing. Once it is sent out, many people can be killed. It is also possible to kill more than a hundred people at once." The businessman of Qin State said disdainfully.

"This. This..." The merchant of the Western Regions looked at the merchant of Qin State in surprise.

"Could it be. Could it be that?" The Western Region businessman asked in a low voice at this time, because his heartbeat was particularly fierce now.

"Cannon." Qin's businessman said easily.

"Cannon. Cannon. It's a cannon." The Western Region merchant said excitedly.

"It's really a cannon." The Western Region merchant suddenly became excited.

"Yes. It's a cannon. I have such a batch of goods in my hand. This is a good thing, powerful, and once a shell is dropped, the infantry is a group of ashes. With the rifle in their hand, they can't resist the opponent at all." Described.

"If you buy so many artillery pieces. If you gather them together and launch them, you will be howling. Tens of thousands of troops will be scattered all at once. It's almost like paper." Qin State businessman said vigorously.

"Good, good thing. Good thing." The Western Region merchant suddenly realized that this artillery was a good thing.
