Chu State. Pengcheng. Fan Zeng was watching the telegram from Chen Ping.

"The prime minister, this ship has a lot to do. The steam engine can provide a steady stream of power. If the power is enough, it can easily propel the ship to a high speed. Despite the lack of coal, the addition of water, and the immature technology, but with With the maturity of technology, this kind of problem will definitely be solved. Once our country Chu uses such a ship, it can greatly increase the speed of our freight. The use of such a large ship can carry more artillery and transport more. Soldiers go all over the world, in that case, our country, Chu, can have more colonies." Chen Ping wrote in the telegram.

Fan Zeng put down the telegram.

"Chen Ping is right. We must have such a ship, so that we can get rid of the influence of the **** storm." Fan Zeng said to himself.

Due to storms, Chu’s maritime transport was difficult to navigate. This directly led to the loss of Chu merchants in a relatively short period of time, not just the storm. Sometimes, the wrong wind direction would aggravate this situation. Fan Zeng was very distressed, but now Chen Ping proposed a solution for him. This solution is to build such a ship that can solve such problems.

Dawan Country. The third air reconnaissance squadron of Qin State on the border.

"What?" Liang Gui asked curiously.

"When is this? Why don't I know?" Liang Gui asked.

"I don't know. I just knew that a lieutenant colonel came from the Ministry of National Defense and provided a photo, and the Dawan people believed it. But we surveyed many places and didn't find the Parthian cavalry. Wait for the weather. After that, we have to conduct reconnaissance." Li Yan said.

"Is it fake intelligence? Just make the same photos. There is no time to record on it," the other party said.

"Yeah. It may be, but this is something that can't be helped. It's such a thing. Anyway, it's already like this. We don't have to worry too much about other things." Li Yan said indifferently. They have conducted reconnaissance in the air many times and have not found any valuable targets. They only found some places where a small number of Parthian troops were stationed on the Dawan border, but the size of the troops was very small, and there was no possibility of large-scale assembly at all. Dawan is also actively conducting reconnaissance, and they have not discovered such a problem.

"Okay. Maybe it's really fake. In this case, we don't need to analyze it." Liang Gui put down the glasses in his hand and said. Looking at the photos for a long time made his eyes hurt.

"But I think we should still pay attention." Although Li Yan is a little indifferent, he is not really indifferent. Because the situation here is very special.

"I think we should pay attention to the situation here, you should understand what I said." Liang Gui said.

"I know. The rest will invade here at any time. There is no way that this is the front line. In many cases, the situation is far beyond our imagination. We have to be enough to rest the dynamics. Once we relax, it may cause very serious consequences." Liang Gui reminded.

"I understand." Li Yan nodded and said. They were deployed at the border, and the order they received was to pay close attention to the state of the assembly of the Parthians. Although they have not found out so far, it does not mean that the Parthians will not take measures.

Bangla area. The country of Bangla is completely finished. King Bangla no longer exists. Or in other words. The king of Bangla may become a nobleman or a businessman, because the Koreans have completely controlled this place, and the locals here have almost been extinct. Only those who believe in the religion of the Central Plains can survive here.

People from Chu and South Korea saw the huge prospects for the development of the religious market, so all kinds of religions suddenly emerged. In addition to Confucianism and Taoism, there are Taipingism, Taiping Taoism, Wuweijiao, Laozijiao, and even Mohism. Became Mohism. What's more, there is agricultural education. In short, all kinds of magic sticks ran out. They attracted a large number of local people, and they created various religious groups, but they all registered, and the Chu and South Korean governments also carried out preliminary regulations.

"These land cannot grow food." A Taoist chief shook his head and said to a deputy. And there are many local people who believe in religion around him. They pose in various poses. This is a religious ritual of their religion.

"But if we don't grow these grains, how can we live." His deputy said worriedly. Those believers can only understand part of the Central Plains dialect, but it doesn't matter, as long as a few people understand it. Those people will become the backbone of religion, and these backbones will be able to control those who don't speak the Central Plains dialect.

"What kind of food to grow? If you want to grow something, grow something that you don't have." said the Taoist leader.

"What's not there?" the deputy asked puzzledly.

"This grain, Chu has a lot of colonies, you don't know, when I came, I saw that the plantations in the Chu colony were all grain, and the rice with a lot of rice could be used for brewing. The land is three crops a year. If you plant it again, you won’t be able to sell it. So you have to plant something that you don’t have. I think it’s cotton. It seems that the Korean government needs this thing. I don’t know what they are going to do, but at least this thing is useful." Speaking of.

"This. It's better to plant some sugarcane. At any rate, sugarcane can also produce some sugar, which can be further turned into sugar wine." The deputy said.

"That's it. Leave it alone. Anyway, we grabbed the land, and we won't lose anything for what we planted." The Taoist said. In fact, these Taoist chiefs are all from the Kingdom of Chu, the land ruffians, hooligans or vagrants from Korea. They have some speculative tricks. Unfortunately, they are all sent here to find opportunities to make a fortune. But they wanted to find it.

Taking advantage of the large-scale bloodbath of the gods, they acquired a lot of land. After obtaining this land, they let their followers plant it, but they need to grow some high-value cash crops instead of some grains such as rice. The Chu colony has already produced a large amount of rice on a large scale. They are no longer worried about food.

But they don't know at all what kind of cash crops can obtain higher benefits.

Bangla Port.

"Cotton?" A lieutenant Chu State curiously looked at the ships on the South Korean port and said.

"Yes, cotton is the long-staple cotton produced here. Before, this was mainly cotton cloth, which was worn in the summer after being shipped back, but the summer in the Central Plains was over. They didn't need this kind of cotton. "A local inquirer said. There are many trading companies here. In order to obtain some business information, some merchants have to hire such people to exist. They mainly provide information that they are interested in, such as what the government needs, what kind of goods the merchants have, and the merchant ships that arrive. How many goods are there?

"Cotton. What do Koreans want cotton for?" said Lieutenant Chu. Lieutenant Chu is an intelligence officer. However, the Chu army did not have a large-scale military operation recently, which made the Chu army very idle, and some newly arrived troops began to move to other places. This caused Lieutenant Chu to pay attention to some business intelligence. The main thing is to seek some benefits for oneself. However, the Koreans bought a lot of cotton, which made the lieutenant think about it.

"Cotton. I really don't know what they are going to do. Forget it. No matter." The lieutenant waved his hand and said. South Korea needs a large amount of cotton to mainly produce smokeless gunpowder, while Koreans and Zhao Guoren don't know how to produce smokeless gunpowder. The secret of smokeless gunpowder has not yet been announced.

Qin State, the General Staff.

"We reorganized five infantry divisions and two mobile infantry divisions at once. They have a cavalry brigade and three infantry regiments. There are many new weapons in the cavalry brigade, but the production of weapons will take some time. Therefore, we It will take at least three months to wait for these combat units to initially form combat effectiveness." Wang Jian said.

"For three months, I am worried that the rest of the people will be unable to bear the loneliness and immediately launch an attack." Yang Duanhe said.

"Well, but there is no other way. We can't accelerate our troops. At present, we can only equip one mobile infantry division." Wang Jian said.

"For the rest, we can only rely on the Dawan people to do such things." Wang Jian said.

"But I have an idea. We will replace some weapons. Can these weapons be transferred to Yueshi, Tochar, or Dawan? They will need such weapons, of course. We will discount some prices and sell them to They." Yang Duanhe said.

"The Ministry of National Defense will all become the Ministry of Economy. All merchants were born." Wang Jian said with a smile. Yang Duanhe shrugged helplessly. After all, the military needs large-scale weapons manufacturers to provide them.

Li's Armory.

"According to our research on the market, especially after the recent Yueshi War ended, we found that the sales of submachine guns, which the Yueshi people called hand-held machine guns, are better, and the soldiers' feedback is better." A marketing manager was right. Li You reported.

"Oh." Li You nodded.

"The people of the Yue family reported that in their trench operations, their submachine guns can fire a lot of bullets frantically. They are very effective against the Indians who charge on a large scale, especially within a certain distance. Retreated the enemy many attacks. In contrast, shotguns are not in good condition, and their rate of fire is still not as fast as submachine guns. Therefore, they need us to produce such weapons, and they respond well to such weapons."

"We should increase production lines for such submachine guns. If Yueshi people don’t need them, I think we can sell them to Dawan people or Tocharians. As long as there is war, I think the problem can still be solved. Yes." Li You said.

"It's just that there is currently no possibility of large-scale wars in these places. Chairman, we can't pay attention to light weapons. We should produce some heavy weapons to sell to them. In this way, our profits may increase." The manager said.

"Yeah. That's right. We should really pay attention to this." Li You said.

"However, it is not the time for us to produce like this at present. If we produce in Qin, it will cost a lot. Now the price of raw materials is very high, especially the copper material is still rising. This will further reduce our profit margin. We try our best. Cooperate with outside factories so that we can take advantage of our technology and get some big profits." Li You said.

"Well. Chairman, I think this thing must be done. After all, we have technical advantages, but most of the market is outside. The current business is not easy to do." The manager said.

The rise in copper prices directly led to the rise of some raw materials. For example, the price of iron ore also began to rise. The main reason was that Zhao Guo established a large number of steel plants. Although some steel plants only produce iron, they are still steel. In addition, there are such production plants in Chu and Yan.

As a result, the demand for iron ore has grown rapidly, and as a result, the cost has begun to rise. This made Qin's factory profits begin to decrease. In desperation, Qin can only sell some technology, or seek cooperation with factories outside of production, so that they can get a greater cost advantage.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"We are still a little nervous about military spending. The bond can't provide us with more military spending at once." Li Zuoche said to Li Mu.

"That's right. We want to build the navy all at once. The funding problem must be resolved. The bonds also need banks to adjust. It is unlikely that we will have too much funds concentrated on this." Guo Xiang said.

"In this way, the problem is indeed very big, but we still have some solutions." Li Mu said.

"After listening to your thoughts, I feel that our weapons are too backward." Li Mu said.

"I heard that Qin State’s Army Ministry is reorganizing the army recently. They have established a so-called mobile infantry division. In other words, there is also a cavalry unit of a brigade. This cavalry unit is equipped with rapid-fire guns. Not only that, they We also used new-style rifles, and the firepower has been greatly enhanced. In contrast, our equipment lags behind a lot. We are equipped with some valve rifles and also use fixed-load bullets, but the power is not very large, the most important We need to replace these old-style weapons. In addition, the artillery is relatively backward. Although there are some breech artillery, the power is not strong enough. We need to replace these artillery. But what about these artillery? It’s a waste to put it in the arsenal.” Li Mu said.

"So, after thinking about it, I decided to export these artillery pieces. To sell them to the Indians, or to the Menglais, or to the Champus, is to give them to the people of Qi, and to sell them to the people of Qi. I think it is also possible. "Li Mu said.

"In this way, this is also a sum of money, and at the same time, we Zhao Guo can actively promote these weapons. As long as there is war, many such problems can be solved." Li Mu said.

"Well. Good idea. In this way, we will have our funds. Our equipment can be produced." Guo Xiang said.

"That's it, let's do it this way." Guo Xiang said excitedly.

Yueshi, the West Coast of Indies, the Yueshi people also began to build fortifications, but their fortifications were very sloppy. Many soldiers worked lazily. They worked for three days for the original day's work, but some turned out to be For more than five days, the fortifications could not be established.

The reason is that the newly established Yueshi Bank seriously hurt the enthusiasm of the soldiers. As a result of the soldiers' desperate efforts, they did not get much money, but a large amount of spoils were taken away by the councillors, the original nobles, and the Qin State Bank. , The soldiers were very annoyed, but they couldn't help it because they were the soldiers at the bottom. So the only way they can resist is passive resistance. They vent their dissatisfaction by killing them.

"We still need your help." Prince Barry said to the Minister of Defense Yue's.

"This is natural, but we still need some time before we can give you weapons. But we can help you to advise in combat. In addition, you also need officers to learn how to fight. We can train for you." The minister said so.

"You help us command?" Barry asked.

"No, no. It doesn’t mean that. We just provide some of our experience. After all, the difference in weapons makes war more interesting. At the same time, it becomes more different. I think it’s still difficult for you to adapt to this kind of war. We can Provide such suggestions. Ways." The Secretary of Defense said.

"Yeah. Okay. That's it. But you have to consult our situation as soon as possible. As for weapons, help us as soon as possible. We will provide you with gold." Prince Barry said.

"Okay, okay, we will do it as soon as possible, as soon as possible." The Secretary of Defense said with a smile. Then they sent away Prince Barry and left here.

Inside Moran's headquarters.

"Look at this, the order has been issued." Moran said.

"Oh." Meng Ping nodded after reading the telegram.

"Very good, so we can go to see that place in Indy." Meng Ping said.

"I am not worried about this. Karachi people will not retreat in the direction of Karachi. This will be very detrimental to us." Moran said.

"I can't help it." Moran said.

"The morale is very low now. Bonds have made our morale very low. The most important thing is that the soldiers are not willing to fight at all. I think this war may be defeated. I heard that there are people from the Central Plains in Karachi. Provide a lot of arms and weapons. Under such a situation, we can't resist it at all." Moran shook his head and said.
