The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Aijigang, many Chu and South Korean businessmen gathered together to discuss a major event.

"You said, what should we do about this matter?" A Chu businessman waved a letter they couldn't understand and said. After a period of defensive operations, Aiji finally realized what kind of opponent they encountered. They could not pose a big threat to the other party. They sent a large number of troops to launch an offensive, and they were unable to shake the opponent's defense circle at all. , As for killing each other, Aijiguo has no hope at all. Because they have completely lost the confidence to fight further.

"I think we should be more cautious about this matter. Don't be a trap of loving a few countries." A Korean businessman said.

"That is, we think we can do business with them. But what happened? In the end, we were seized. The goods were also intercepted. In that case, we would have suffered a heavy loss." Other businessmen also said one after another. Such worry.

After being unable to expel Korea, Chu merchants entered the water. In fact, Aiji Country also feels that the other side has encountered a tough opponent. For such a tough opponent, the only thing they don’t need to worry about is that the other side does not seem to pose a big threat to them. On the contrary, they also need South Korea. Chu Taking into account the goods provided by the Chinese merchants, the country decided to maintain peace with the other side, which would benefit everyone. But business people have their own plans.

"This kind of worry does exist, but if the other party really does business with us, what should we do? What are we here for? Of course, it is to do business with the other party, make money, and make more money, but they treat us Imposing unreasonable taxes is different. This makes all of us uncomfortable.” A Chu countryman said.

"Well, we are here to make a fortune. The war is a matter of the country and the government. We really want to fight. We spend a lot of money. We are businessmen and not government officials. I think we just Accept the other party's terms." Some businessmen who planned to compromise said. They feel that it can't afford it.

First of all, the money for arms and ammunition costs a lot, and it costs a lot of money to transport them from the farther western continent. Moreover, the transportation is all munitions, which is a loss to them, and they consume it themselves. Instead of selling it out.

Secondly, they came here to do business, not to fight war. Fighting is a government army's business and has little to do with them. They are essentially businessmen and they hope to do business to make the money they should make.

In the end, most of their goods are backlogged here. If they can’t sell them, their losses will be even greater, which will be extremely detrimental to them.

"I think you all mean the same thing, and we also consider it for our own safety. We can't let the other party keep making conditions, and we also have our own conditions." A businessman said at this time.

"Let those who love a few businessmen talk to us, we won't go deep inland. Our own safety is guaranteed by ourselves. Taxes and levy those who love a few businessmen have nothing to do with us. We can give it a token. We don't care about other things." Thinking of this, the businessman said.

"Yes, it should be like this, we should have been like this a long time ago." Others responded one after another.

Chu State. Pengcheng.

"A few aspects of love have a telegram?" Fan Zeng asked Chen Ping.

"Yes, we fought a battle with Aijiren. The scale is not very large or small, but it is a defensive battle. We have muskets, but the opponent is still a cold weapon. The results are still good." Chen Ping said To.

"Yeah. The results are good. The next step is to negotiate with us. However, the negotiation, without our government personnel, is really unjustifiable for us." Fan Zeng said.

"Prime Minister, this is nothing we can do. We simply don't have much troops to send. At present, most of the troops are still at rest. It will take some time to reach the Aiji country from rest. In addition, the logistical supplies will cause all these problems. It's very difficult. We still need the help of Koreans." Chen Ping said.

"I'm afraid that the Koreans are also powerless against us. I heard that they are fighting the Seth people and they want to put down the rebellion. I think they may not be able to take care of it." Fan Zeng said.

"Yes, Prime Minister, I think at present, the only feasible way is to rely on ourselves, not on the Koreans. After all, they can't rely on themselves. The only way is to let us do this by ourselves." Chen Ping said helplessly.

"Such a thing is easy to talk about. I looked at the War Department’s combat plan. They plan to step by step. Only in this way can they penetrate into the enemy’s territory and pose a threat. However, such an offense requires a considerable amount of material reserves. Far away, the cost will rapidly increase a lot. Such operations are obviously extremely detrimental to us." Fan Zeng said helplessly.

"The Koreans also have this problem, and we have also encountered the same problem. We need to negotiate with the locals. However, you look at combat. Most of them are defensive operations. On the Western continent, our army can fight against the local tribes. It poses a threat, but in the Far West, there are deserts everywhere. Army operations are fundamentally unfavorable and difficult to carry out. Moreover, logistics supplies have been deployed for a long distance. We have always been in a disadvantageous state with regard to logistics supplies. We are very disadvantaged, but if we do nothing, the other party will not negotiate with them. In that case, our interests cannot be maximized. This is the whole situation." Fan Zeng said in distress. . This is the problem that South Koreans and Chu State face together. They can only achieve this goal if they pose a great threat to each other. Just like the British and French coalition forces attacked the Dagu Fort, they can only maximize the safety of the capital by threatening the security of the capital. Expand their influence through war, of course. This also requires a great coincidence, but if there is no military threat, just relying on defensive operations will not achieve this at all.

"For this, I think the Korean people are right. They only did two things, and we should do the same." Chen Ping said at this time.

"First. We should use air force to fight. The air force can directly surpass the enemy's land defenses. We can directly threaten their capital and throw a lot of bombs." Chen Ping said under Fan Zeng's sign.

"If they agree to our terms, they will stop the bombing. If they don't agree, we will continue to bombard. In this way, the army's investment can be greatly reduced. This goal can be achieved only by using a large amount of air force bombing. "Chen Ping said.

"This method is good, but it needs to increase the cost of the air force, and the air force needs to be transported out. This is bound to increase the military strength of the maritime aviation force. In this way, the military expenditure problem." Fan Zeng said embarrassingly. He felt very distressed about military expenses.

"This, the increase in military expenditure is much more cost-effective than the investment in the army. Moreover, the Koreans bought a few airships, and they began to develop them themselves. We can also buy related airships from Zhao Guoren, and we can also To conduct research, besides, at present, if we do not study the Air Force, it is bound to pose a great threat to us." Chen Ping said.

"Well, you are right, we must also strengthen research in this area." Fan Zeng said.

"Then what is the other one?" Fan Zeng asked at this time.

"The other is to build railways. But we need to force the other party to achieve our goals before we can do this." Chen Ping said.

"In other words, can the other party have to agree to our terms?" Fan Zeng asked.

"Yes, Prime Minister, only in this way can we let them cooperate with us in a cooperative way, otherwise, we would not have such an advantage. In fact, the railway method is slow, but it can rely on the railway. , In-depth control of this country. Koreans are currently doing this. In their view, only with such a railway can they further control the inland countries and develop inland." Chen Ping said.

"This is indeed a brilliant move. It seems that we have to learn too." Fan Zeng nodded. Agree with Chen Ping's views.

Laizhou. The military band played impassioned military music. Many people from Zhao and Qi are standing on the edge of the dock, shouting loudly, and waving their arms. Women wave their handkerchiefs.

This is the departure of the two fleets of Qi and Zhao to the Western Regions. Their purpose is simple: to expand their national power and expand their overseas foundations. There are also a large number of merchant fleets traveling together. On the one hand, warships can protect them from pirates. On the other hand, they will support the expansion of soldiers in the West, they will provide more supplies, and develop more trade. It can be said that the two sides are a win-win situation.

"Goodbye, goodbye." The people on the dock yelled loudly, and they yelled goodbye. With slogans like Zhu Jun Chenggong, there are a lot of people from Qi, and many from Zhao. This is Zhao’s first large-scale expansion of overseas business. There is no way, and their domestic forces forced them to do so. It seems that without expanding overseas business, it is difficult to show that their country is very strong.

"I really don't know when they will be able to come back, a place as far away as overseas, thousands of miles away." A woman said worriedly.
