The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 1963: We are going to retire
"This must be reinforced. We are building a military fortress here, not temporary fortifications, you know?" a second lieutenant officer said. After the Battle of Maza Mountain, Maza Mountain existed as a forward post for the merchants of the Qin State, in order to resist the attack of the Dawan people and avoid the siege of the last time. The establishment of fortresses can store a large amount of military materials and manage permanent strongholds in order to resist the attacks of the Dawan people.
"But, sir." The guard replied.
"The only materials we provided were wood, and the materials transported at the rear had no cement and steel bars. For us, the transportation cost of this thing was too expensive." The team member said helplessly.
"Well, you will reinforce it according to the standard of wood. This is the place where the machine guns and artillery are arranged. It is the place where the enemy takes care of it. You must reinforce it. Reinforce, understand?" the ensign ordered.
"Yes, sir." The team members nodded, and then commanded the Dawan captives to build their military fortress. The Maza Mountain fortress is not only for military purposes, but also for commercial purposes. In fact, the entire fortress only occupies a hundred military facilities. Less than twelve outs, most of the rest are warehouses, mainly used to store a large number of various materials, starting from the low hill to the main passage below. Both are defensive areas of military fortresses. Dense barbed wire and minefields will all become the main combat areas of military fortresses.
"These are not enough." At the highest point of Mount Maza, the colonel looked around with a telescope.
"Our manpower is insufficient, and it is already very difficult to defend such a large area. These fortifications are still not enough." said the colonel.
"Sir, what I am worried about is not the defense problem, but our back road, especially the logistics supply problem. Our military fortress is built here, but, behind, we don’t have a supply station, and there are no roads, even though ours The warehouse is very large and occupies a considerable proportion. However, the crux of the problem is not here." said the chief of staff.
"I know, our logistic supply routes, especially the roads for reinforcements, don't they?" The colonel put down his telescope and said.
"Yes, if this continues, once we are besieged again, our situation will be very bad." The Chief of Staff reminded.
"Therefore, we need to stock up a lot of materials. Before the Dawan people launch another offensive, our stock of materials must be large, not too small." The colonel said.
"Our road is impossible to build. It is too long. No one wants to spend a lot of money on this. The most important thing is the railway. There is no railway behind us. The transportation of materials is very difficult." Colonel Speaking of worry.
"So, we can only rely on hoarding supplies to keep here. The other methods are really unexpected." The colonel shook his head and said.
"Let's do it, fix the warehouse more sturdy, let us stock up as much material as possible, we need these materials too much." said the colonel. Because of the long distance, the railway line of the Qin State is at most a point in northern Xinjiang, and further forward, it can only rely on temporary roads. It is such a weak transportation line that maintains the material foundation for the advancement of the Qin army. As the forefront of the extension, their situation is even worse. Since there is no supply station in the rear, it is impossible for them to store too much material, and the way of retreat may be cut off at any time, but this is the forefront of the battle with the Dawan people. The Qin people have just won. If they retreat at this time, although they can gain the initiative, they will lose the right to trade. They are armed by merchants. If they lose the protection of armed forces, the interests of the merchants will be easily taken by the Dawan people. Dropped.
When there was no alternative, the Qin State armed forces established the first military fort here, and this military fortress also served as a trading post. This was the first trading post established by the State of Qin in the Western Regions. At this time, Qin merchants are actively promoting their first product, the old-fashioned flintlock.
"This is Qin's lethal weapon, flintlock." Zhao Kaizi gestured with a musket. The surrounding Dawan people looked at each other nervously. If the opponent shoots their leader with a musket, they will immediately hack each other with a knife, but the middle-aged man sitting in the middle does not seem to be afraid, on the contrary. On the contrary, Zhao Kaizi's musket was even more interested.
Zhao Kaizi is from the State of Zhao, and because Zhao cannot survive, he ran to the State of Qin. Later, he came to the Western Regions with the wave of immigration. He has been living a swaying life, but now he is in the arms trade. Flintlocks are very cheap. Sometimes, he can make them by hiring a few craftsmen himself, but that would be a waste of time. He bought a batch of arms. If you want to come to Dawan to try your luck, everyone knows that where there is war, the arms business there is the best.
"Quickly, give him an interpreter. I want to show him the power of the musket." Zhao Kaizi said loudly to a Western Region man on the side. He was a slave that Zhao Kaizi bought for a gold, because he could speak the Qin dialect and knew the language of the Dawan people, so Zhao Kaizi was willing to spend a gold to buy it.
"!@#¥" With a grunting voice, the Western Region native expressed Zhao Kaizi's meaning.
After listening to the translation, the middle-aged leader sitting in the middle waved his hand. After a while, a guard came in with a sheep. The middle-aged leader waved his hand and asked Zhao Kaizi to try the sheep.
"Um, Master, their leader asked you to try and kill this sheep. He wants to see how your weapons are?" The Western Regions said respectfully to Zhao Kaizi. Because Zhao Kaizi is always hungry for him, so he doesn't give him food. Unless you do something useful, it won't give him delicious food.
"Oh. I see. Let's watch." Zhao Kaizi walked to the sheep with a musket. People in Dawan looked at Zhao Kaizi.
"Bang." A gunshot sounded. The bullet smashed the sheep's head, blood and flesh-colored liquid flew out, and the leg of the sheep twitched. Zhao Kaizi didn't even look at it, so he put away the rifle. He took out a bullet again from his pocket.
At this time, the middle-aged man walked down excitedly and looked at the weapon in Zhao Kaizi's hand. Zhao Kaizi handed the weapon in his hand to the middle-aged leader.
"So. Put this. Tuck it into the barrel." As Zhao Kaizi said, he wanted to tell the Western Regions to translate his meaning to the middle-aged leader. The Western Regions understood the meaning and would tell the middle-aged leader what Zhao Kaizi said. After hearing this, the middle-aged leader nodded to show that he knew. Then he handed the gun to Zhao Kaizi and let Zhao Kaizi make a demonstration.
Zhao Kaizi skillfully loaded the bullet and handed it to the middle-aged leader. After the leader understood, he nodded and walked out of the tent. Shot at a wooden stake not far away. The bullet hit the target more accurately. The middle-aged chief took a gun and walked over excitedly.
With the use of Qin's smokeless gunpowder, the caliber of Qin's rifle began to develop towards a small scale, and the caliber of the current development is about less than three zero. Most of the old flintlock guns have calibers above 0.50. Therefore, in terms of the killing effect, the larger caliber flintlock has an absolute advantage, especially for close-range shooting. Once the bullet is hit by this bullet, it must be dead. If it hits a limb, it must be amputated. surgery. Plus the use of lead bullets. The killing power is even greater. It can be said that Zhao Kaizi's introduction is not wrong at all. This is indeed one of Qin's most powerful guns.
After shooting, the middle-aged leader looked at the bullet marks on the wooden stakes, and the dead sheep he saw just now, plus the major trauma caused by his soldiers on the previous battlefield, he was very frightened. The power of this weapon has far exceeded his understanding. Facing an enemy holding such a weapon, he felt only a kind of fear. The middle-aged leader's face was pale and ugly. At this time, Zhao Kaizi already knew that he was more than 80% sure of his business. The reason is that after the other party shows fear of their weapons, the more likely they are to buy weapons. This is the biggest and most advantageous place for his business.
There were many people around the middle-aged leader, and they all expressed a kind of fear when they looked at the marks after the bullet shot. Although Zhao Kaizi could not understand their language, he could see it. The other party has a feeling of fear, worry, and annoyance in it.
The middle-aged leader immediately spoke to the Western Region interpreter.
"Master, they ask you, are your weapons sold to them?" the Western Region interpreter asked.
"It was sold to them." Zhao Kaizi said.
"Hurry up and translate it to them and let them know what I mean." Zhao Kaizi urged. The Western Region interpreter told the other party. Then the other party said something.
"They want to know why?" the Western Region interpreter asked.
"Tell him that I am a businessman and an arms dealer. The business I do is to make money. As long as I make money, I can't control anything else." Zhao Kaizi said.
"How much is one?" The Western Regions translation translated immediately.
"Tell him that this number, lower than this number, is impossible." Zhao Kaizi said.
"The other party said. It's too expensive. Up to three gold coins." The Western Region interpreter said to Zhao Kaizi.
"Three gold coins, what are gold coins?" Zhao Kaizi asked. The translator came over and asked. The other party handed Zhao Kaizi three gold coins.
"Okay. That's it. Three gold coins and one musket. I brought thirty muskets. In addition, there are some bullets." Zhao Kaizi said to the interpreter.
"Wow." The Dawan man threw a bag of gold coins to Zhao Kaizi.
"He said, there are a hundred gold coins in it. If the owner can bring more muskets, he can also give you more cattle and sheep, land, and muskets." The Western Regions people translated.
"Good. Good, easy to talk. Good to talk." Zhao Kaizi said.
"In addition, we have a lot of new varieties, such as lighters." Zhao Kaizi turned on the lighter and lit it on fire.
"And this thing, this is a mirror." Zhao Kaizi took out a lot of things and showed them.
"Well, this thing is the best. Open and eat, canned food, canned meat, this thing, equipped by Qin Jun, can be stored for more than a year. Within a year, it will not break." Zhao Kaizi said excitedly. Holding the heavy gold coin, he felt like he was flying up in his heart.
"You quickly translate. These things are all good things. Only if you have more gold coins, there is absolutely no problem." Zhao Kaizi said excitedly.
Then the translation began, because there are so many things. And these things are things that Dawan people have never talked about. Therefore, the translation needs a temporary group of words to describe the description. After hearing this, the people in Dawan became interested and stepped forward to check these novel things, which they had never seen before. Zhao Kaizi got more excited as he talked, and introduced more and more things. A lighter actually offered the price of ten gold coins, but in the end he got twenty gold coins, and the leader wanted to go. Others could only give up one after another, but the things Qin people brought were really tempting. But the price is too expensive. They feel a little unacceptable. However, the price is always commensurate with those novel things. The things made by Qin State are really good.
Qin State Xianyang. Inside the staff.
"Have you read the newspaper?" Yang Duanhe said to Wang Jian, waving a newspaper.
"No." Wang Jian replied.
"The prime minister is in the Western Regions, and he promised to recruit troops from all states." Yang Duanhe said.
"What?" Wang Jian asked.
"Is this true?" Wang Jian then asked.
"It's true, and it's already published in the newspaper. I think it won't be long before the telegram will be sent." Yang Duanhe said.
"Huh." Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Regarding this matter, he believes that Shangwen is the best thing he has done to the military at present.
"Publishing in newspapers may increase military spending." Yang Duanhe said.
"No. We should be more cautious about the matter in the newspaper. After all, this matter will definitely not be resolved so easily." Wang Jian shook his head and said.
"I think the prime minister may increase military spending, don't forget. This year is a general election year, and the army has 25 votes, which is equivalent to a state's votes. It is impossible for the prime minister to lose such a large amount of votes." Yang Duanhe Analyzed.
"Yes. I forgot about this." Wang Jian said at this time.
"This year is a general election year, and the prime minister is doing this to win the army's votes." Wang Jian said at this time.
"Not only these, there are many things that you and I have not noticed. This time, the prime minister paid special attention to the details, and, in order to control the number of the army. He will definitely work **** the welfare of the army, if it is. In my case, doing so may win quite a lot of votes in the end." Yang Duanhe analyzed.
"Yeah." Wang Jian nodded and said.
"In any case, the prime minister's doing this is really too much. In order to get votes, he used temporary military means to win in." Wang Jian was a little dissatisfied with Shang Wen's move.
"Before, we have proposed military reorganization or rotation of the army more than once, but now it's fine. The prime minister did this for the vote. I was really angry." Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe. . Wang Jian was very dissatisfied with the neglect of the army. He continued to cut military expenditures and caused the Qin army to be in a state of exhaustion. Ignoring the army and temporarily benefiting the army now makes Wang Jian very dissatisfied with Shang Wen’s military attitude. Qin is currently overly dependent on commercial trade. Wang Jian has also received reports that some officers in the Qin army use the military. Such an act of conducting commercial trade of resources has severely challenged the combat effectiveness of the military.
"Okay. No matter what, this is also a trend. We can get a sum of military expenditure. This is already a very good choice for us." Yang Duanhe enlightened.
"Yes, this is really good for us." Wang Jian said.
"Okay. It's better to have fewer complaints like this." Wang Jian said.
"At present, we still have a lot of things to do. The more things the better. At least our staff can get busy with the work of conscription and the rotation of troops." Wang Jian wanted to say for a while.
"What can you do?" Wang Jian asked at this time.
"I think it is the best way to form a new military unit. We try to draw a part of the elite officers and non-commissioned officers to form a framework, and then establish the National Guard, upgrade from the National Guard to an army military unit, and let them go through a period of time. Time training, or go directly to the border area, anyway, they are all defensive figures, there will not be too much war to fight. They can not be used for military offensive, their main task is to defend, take over us in The elite troops on the border, let them rest." Yang Duanhe said.
"Considering the population problem of each state, we can consider. Two or three states, forming a military unit, division level. In this way, we can replace those border troops." Yang Duanhe proposed.
"Yeah." Wang Jian said.
"That's good." Wang Jian nodded in agreement.
"In this case, our troops can rotate faster. The morale of our soldiers is too low. Long-term defensive tasks can easily make people slack off." Wang Jian said.
"Yes, we suggest that we set up a rotation system to allow the army to have a good rest period. In addition, there is also that I agree with the prime minister’s view of professional soldiers. Some people, especially those with special talents, have Although they cannot command a large number of troops, their military experience can make up for these things. We officers and students do not know these things. Such sergeants are a kind of precious wealth, and we can make them professional soldiers. , The prime minister plans to raise their salary levels again. They can be the same level as our highest technicians in Qin. This way we can rely on these professional soldiers to complete the training of our military units. After the training of these military units is completed, we can make Other military personnel added to replace those who want to go home, rest, or who are no longer suitable for military positions." Yang Duanhe said.
"Well. It seems that our prime minister's idea is very advanced. Professional soldiers. This concept is very good. In this way, we can solve many military problems, and our personnel will not be too old and weak, and can be professionalized. Road. Yes. In the future, I think that the Qin Army’s reliance on military equipment may be higher. Professional soldier Chu Xiang can make up for our technical disadvantages to a large extent. This is also good news for us. "Wang Jian thought for a while and said.
"It's just that, I think our total military strength is really small. Qin has a vast territory, such a large country, and only has such a small number of troops. Sometimes, I think it's really unreasonable." Yang Duanhe continued.
"Yeah. I also think that Qin's military strength is too thin. Without more troops and a vast territory, we can only find ways to find ways to move the army. Qin's projection ability needs to be improved a lot. This is a serious challenge for the Qin Army. At present, the Qin Army’s strength is limited and can only rely on railways to carry out large-scale projections. However, in the Western Regions operations, our maximum strength can only be maintained at about two or three. The scale of a thousand, the logistics pressure is extremely high. If our army passes, it will not be long after the battle, there will be serious logistics supply problems. Therefore, I think we should upgrade the Qin army’s transportation equipment by a large amount, especially , I think, the air delivery is a step up. The airship’s transport capacity is very large, but the weather conditions are too restrictive. If there is an aircraft, this is the best, but the aircraft is mechanically unstable, and it is easy to cause accidents and reinforcements. The aircraft may not take a long time before it will fall down. Reinforcement is not as good as no reinforcement. Moreover, the strength and materials of the reinforcement are small. If our aircraft transportation capacity is improved in the future, I think we don’t need to worry about this. "Yang Duanhe said.
"Yeah." Wang Jian nodded.
"Do you know what the Heavenly Army is studying recently?" Wang Jian asked at this time.
"I don't know. The flying chickens of the Heavenly Army don't know what they are thinking." Yang Duanhe said.
"They are thinking of ways to expand the capacity of the aircraft. They even asked the heavenly army to increase the number of bombers and transport aircraft. They believed that as long as they rely on the heavenly army to win future wars, they only need to fly over the enemy's head and drop a lot of bombs , You can win the war. Infantry will be eliminated as the eliminated arms, completely wiped out." Wang Jian said, shaking his head.
"People like the Heavenly Army are too radical." Yang Duanhe said.
"However, I think they have some truth in what they said. In the past, we had to detour behind the enemy. It took a long time and tried all means. Moreover, when we encountered difficult opponents, our missions were often not achieved. But now, if we have bombing airships and bombers, what the enemy sees, we just go bombing blatantly. What kind of weapons do they have that can withstand our bombing? No, not at all. They can't resist us at all. Bombing. We never thought about this." Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe.
"The future is the world of young people. We are probably going to retire." Wang Jian continued.
