"Look at this, this is the report we just got." Tian Heng said to Lou Jing. Lou Jing wanted to persuade Tian Heng to lift the blockade order after hearing about the bloodshed due to the border blockade, but as a result, Lou Jing saw another thing.

"The Qingcheng government actually sent a boat to pick up and drop off from the sea." Lou Jing said.

"Yes, they are doing this now. The report also said that they actually sent an airship to carry out propaganda. If it weren't for the time rush and didn't send me posters, their flyers would have been scattered all over the sky. I am Shouldn't the air force be mobilized to take part in the battle and kill those airships?" Tian Heng said angrily.

"This. I think, should we negotiate with the South Korean government? The Qin government's proposal is more pertinent. Now the Chu government is actively cooperating with the South Korean government. We don't need to be so rigid with the South Korean government. "Lou Jing persuaded.

"Okay, then send a warning to the South Korean government. If they continue to do so, we will very unceremoniously send an air force to shoot down their airship." Tian Heng said very angrily.

"This." Lou Jing also didn't expect South Korea to do this. If it did, it would change the situation a lot.

Bangla, the new army station of South Korea.

"Is this news reliable?" Zhang Dalai looked at the opposite Korean businessman, Han San, who was the biggest smuggler here. He earned whatever he made, but he had no power and he did a lot of business. It’s not good if there is no power. Han Laosan also knew the reason. So, after he got the shocking news, he quickly found the commander of the local garrison, because this was the only chance to get close. With such an opportunity, he will be able to do any business in the future. And it can be bigger.

"Reliable, very reliable. This is the news from the Mongla royal family. This news has not yet reached our side. I can use my life as a guarantee." Old Han Shang said excitedly.

"Sir, you also know that I am in a smuggling business. I am still more sensitive to some information. Yesterday, the Menggla people suddenly wanted to order a large number of arms and weapons. The amount of arms exceeded my capital scale. They needed almost ten. Ten thousand rifles, more than a hundred cannons, countless bullets, such a big deal, I still can’t do it, moreover, it’s done. I can’t get it, so I still rely on you.” Han Laosan smiled Speaking of.

"Well. You still know the situation. Come with me." Zhang Dalai nodded. This incident exceeded their expectations, because according to Zhang Dalai’s estimation, it would take up to half a year before Bangladesh. There are so many munitions, but I didn't expect it.

Inside Zhang Shi's office.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Shizheng was writing something. He didn't look up but asked directly.

"Sir, there is an important news. The Bangladeshi government needs a lot of arms and weapons. It sounds very anxious. The quantity is very large. The ammunition has to be continuously supplied. The businessman cannot afford this kind of business. See us in a hurry." Zhang Dahui said.

"Oh." Zhang Shi raised his head and looked at Zhang Dafa at this time. He felt strange about this matter, or in other words, he felt it was very rare.

However, he immediately remembered something.

"This news is from the inside of the Menggla royal house. It may have a lot to do with their northern dynasty. I guess something significant happened that caused the demand for arms to increase a lot?" Zhang Dahui boldly speculated. .

"Your guess is correct, I remembered one thing." Zhang Shi found a telegram on his desk.

"Yes, that's it. Look at this. This may have a lot to do with the Bangladeshi government." Zhang Shi said and handed a telegram to Zhang Dahui.

"I've been sorting out the relationship between Mengla and the northern dynasty recently. I think this northern dynasty may unify Mengla. The state of Mengla is just a state of their subordinates, just like our Zhou emperor. The northern dynasty still has a certain contribution. The biggest possibility for them now is that the northern dynasty has been attacked by the Yue clan instigated by Qin. Facing the Yue clan attack, the Indians who lack effective firearms may be the north. The dynasty could not resist. The firearms of the people of Qin were very sharp. This time they also used many new weapons. Although the Northern dynasty, that is, the Indians desperately digging trenches, they had no choice but to build defensive fortresses. They lacked firearms and therefore lacked the need. Under such attack, they could not beat their opponents out at all, and formed a situation of suppression. Therefore, the Northern Dynasty decided to import our weapons on a large scale, and if necessary, they might imitate them on a large scale. "Zhang Shi said.

"It seems that the chief's analysis is very correct, and I am also inclined to this point." Zhang Dahui nodded and said.

"As a result, the needs of the Mengla people are very strong. But the problem is that we don't have so many arms and weapons to meet their needs. Even the arms and weapons on Zhang Xiong Island recently only had more than 50,000 rifles. This is simply difficult to meet the needs of the Menggla people. Moreover, most of them have been sold to Korean merchants, Chu people. This is not a good thing for us." Zhang Shi said, shaking his head. It's one thing to have business, but it's another thing to get the supply.

"This. We can only dispatch from the country urgently. Otherwise, we can't meet their needs at all, or we can mediate in the middle. But this is Xinzheng's matter." Zhang Dahui said.

"We can only report this matter to the above, and the decision is up to them to do it themselves." Zhang Shi said.

In the Western Regions of the Qin Kingdom, arms dealer Li Chao is drinking with Fan Shi. Fan Shi has a very capable older brother, Wenyang Bank, the president of the Western Regions branch, Fan Dou. A lot of news is not what the arms dealer Li Chao can get. . The reason why he invited Fan Shi to drink is to get some news from Fan Shi's mouth. For example, this time he heard someone say that the Minister of Defense and Finance Minister of Dawan came to Qin together. They seemed to be ordering a large number of arms and weapons, but this is not something they can do, but they do nothing. He is also an arms dealer. No need to do it.

"Come on, brother, have a drink." Li Chao enthusiastically picked up the wine glass and said.

"Okay." Fan Shi was not polite, picking up the wine glass and drinking.

"Tell me, what the **** is going on, how many weapons does Dawan need?" Li Chao carefully inquired after drinking it.

"This. I just heard that my brother said that Wenyang Bank would lend them a lot of money. The money is mainly used to buy arms and resist the rest. My brother said, this is just a small business. The point is, they To build a railway. This is big business." Fan Shi said.

"I know this. This railway business is a big business that the bank can do. We don't have enough funds. That's for sure. It's like saying that Wenyang Bank can eat meat and drink alcohol. Let's drink. Broth, just taste the taste of this wine. Let's do this arms business." Li Chao said with a smile.

"Brother, I know, you are a good person. Let me tell you. The ammunition that the Dawan people want is very urgent. Money is not a problem. The problem is how they can be transported in and they need to be in stock. I have a clear idea. We are around now. Most of them are out of stock, mainly because of the Yueshi War, and a large amount of munitions were consumed by Yueshi. In this case, we simply don’t have that much spot. Unless. We have an munitions factory. "Fan Shi said.

"But it's impossible. This munitions factory requires a lot of money, a lot, and we don’t have that much money at all. This thing. Brother, sorry, I can really help you, I can only get Here it is." Fan Shi raised the glass in his hand and drank a mouthful.

"Wait, brother, you are right. I remember. You are right." At this time, the arms dealer, Li Chao said to Fan Shi.

"This matter, you are right. We do have to have a munitions factory. With this factory, we can produce them. Our muskets are all wholesaled from Guanzhong, Wei State, South Korea, and other places. They are responsible for delivery, and we are responsible for production, but these things need to be stored when they are delivered. In many cases, we have to calculate and get the order before we dare to stock them. Otherwise, it won’t be fun to drop in our hands.” Li Chao .

"But if we do this, we won't be able to play at all, we won't be able to make a big deal at all, let alone other things, I have been in the arms business for so many years, first smuggled to the Western Regions, and then to the Yueshi Later it was the Tocharian, the Dawan, and then the Yueshi. Others posted it. We are still like this. I think we have to get a big one this time." Li Chao said unwillingly. Those who come to the Western Regions are here to make a fortune, otherwise no one would want to do such a thing here.

"Brother, what do you say?" Fan Shi asked.

"Mortgages, loans, and factories. Let's get more Western slaves, men, and women. Elderly people and children are all feasible. Let's order a lot of spare parts from South Korea, Zhao State, or Guanzhong area. If the quantity is large, it will be cheaper. Moreover, the discounts given are sufficient, and the freight is not required by us. They are delivered here. We use the Western Regions to gather them and let them assemble. This is not in stock. If we order in batches, they have to produce This is too much trouble. We can manufacture bullets nearby. As long as we have such a factory, this business will definitely be able to be taken down." Li Chao said excitedly.

"Brother, a good way, I'll listen to you, I'll go to my brother, think of a way, loan, factory, I know, there is a construction site there, there can be put into production as long as a shed is built, this Western Region slave. Good to say Let’s just buy a few.” Fan Shixiang wanted to say.

"Yes, let's do it like this. If you don't say it, I can't think about it. Think about it, brother, I have to thank you." Li Chao said with a smile.

"I still listened to my brother. This carriage factory has been established here. Which countries are the parts imported from. We can do this too." Fan Shi said with a smile.

The Western Regions of the Qin Kingdom are already an important link connecting the Western Regions. As transportation becomes more and more convenient, it seems that you can build your own factories for trade production here. However, there is a lack of labor, and the Western Regions are sparsely populated and have a vast area. Labor is one of the important factors restricting the establishment of factories here, but there are still relatively few factories here. This problem is not prominent, but as trade grows and demand increases, this problem will be exposed sooner or later, making the problem serious.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

"Qingcheng is too bold to do this." Han Shu looked at the telegram in his hand and said.

"We sent a boat to meet them, and it was already quite remarkable. What I didn't expect was that they even used the airship. This propaganda is enough to let the people of Qi know our movements." Han Shu shook his head and said.

"My lord, we should alleviate the conflicts between Qi and the country at present. If both sides take such tough measures, it will be bad for anyone." Zhang Liang persuaded. The development of Qi is inseparable from South Korea, because they need South Korean investment, and the development of South Korea is inseparable from Qi, because they need cheap labor from Qi. As long as the labor is sufficient, they can do a lot of things, but the problem is, Now that the two countries have blocked such ties, the relationship between them is extremely tense, which is extremely unfavorable to both sides.

"I also think about this matter, but the problem is that Qi people don’t make concessions at all. They don’t make concessions. How did we make concessions? We actually asked for them to invest in the establishment of factories, but in the end, you know, how did they do? That said, we won't do this at all. This is very detrimental to us. Why do we need to do such a thing with them? This is unreasonable." Han Shu said.

"The only thing we can do now is that we give up actively communicating with them. It is better to take tough measures to let our warships block off Qi's exit to the sea, and let our sea-going ships send away all the Qi people who can be sent away. Use our advantages to suppress Qi and let Qi know how good we are." Han Shu said forcefully.

"This. King, no, if they do it fiercely, the people of Qi may launch offensive operations. They will attack us hard from the land. The Jiaozhou and Qingcheng that have finally been established may be destroyed. You have to know, In Jiaozhou and Qingcheng, we don’t have as many troops at all. The people of Qi have an army, but our army is scattered on various islands in the South and Western Oceans. There are very few garrisons in China. At this time, if we fight hard, it may be right. Our Jiaozhou Qingcheng is a disaster." Zhang Liang said anxiously. Hearing about the war, Zhang Liang was extremely anxious, because the flames of war could destroy the great situation in South Korea that was finally established. This situation is ruined if you say it is destroyed.

"I can’t do anything about this. Okay, let’s take a look at Jiaozhou Qingcheng. What they will do. We will recruit militias to see where the people in Jiaozhou Qingcheng occupy. We can defend Several groups from Xinzheng have been transferred out. If necessary, we can ask Zhao Guo to borrow some of them to use it.” Han Shu thought about it for a while.

"If we don't give the Qi people something powerful, they don't know how to be afraid. Only when we are tough in the military can we further oppress the Qi people. Only at the negotiating table can we talk. If we don't let us, we will never be able to speak." Han Shu said.

Qi State, Binhai District, inside the water army camp.

"What kind of broken order is this above, let us go out to sea, rely on these small broken fishing boats?" A navy colonel looked at the order in his hand and asked.

"Sir, the above is just for us to blockade, which is to prevent those small boats from transporting Qi people out of the country. This matter is even completed." The Chief of Staff said. Qi’s navy is very small, with only a few navy regiments in the area. The total number of ships exceeds more than 500, but they are all modified by some fishing boats, with three old artillery on them. It is heavy, and when launched, it may make a big hole in the ship. Such a ship can barely go to sea, but if it is fighting at sea, they may not even be able to go to the far sea. Their equipment is not as good as the pirates.

"Yes, let's just look at the small boats. If we really fight with those Korean merchant ships, they are armed merchant ships, and some of them have more minimum-equipped artillery than us, so how can we fight people? This is killing me. This is. The one who gave the order is a fool." The Marine Colonel scolded. They had seen the actions of Korean merchant ships a long time ago. But helplessly, their strength is there, and naturally they dare not use force with Korean merchant ships. As long as Korean merchant ships do not act, they are naturally unwilling to act. After all, no one looks good when the two sides fight.

"Yes, the chief is right." The chief of staff was right.

"Okay. Let the brethren eat, go out, and turn around. This is considered to be a trade with the above. We can also be regarded as passing." The colonel said.

"Yes. Yes." The chief of staff immediately ordered the navy to go to sea. Tian Heng also took some measures against the emergence of South Korean merchant ships. For example, he ordered Qi's extremely limited navy to join the battle, blockade the sea, and not give South Korean merchant ships a chance. Not only that, they also ordered the Qi State Air Force to also send out to participate. Fighting, looking for Korean merchant ships, airships launching an offensive, this is the preparation for a full-scale war. Tian Heng also actively adopted tough measures to force the South Koreans to make concessions in an effort to negotiate for greater benefits. For a time, the two sides were at war. Both sides want the other side to make concessions, but each side has its own plans, and the situation is stuck. But more often, a kind of compromise is still needed, but this kind of compromise can only be carried out after demonstrating strength. It's still too early. At this time, it depends on whose fist is hardened.
