The proposal was undoubtedly a risk, and if the war was to be armistically held, the armpit people would never abandon the forward bases that had been formed in the southern hemisphere, as well as their vested land interests, and it was only a matter of time and resources to resume the war in the future.

However, if the war is not stopped, the current situation in the vassal states and the general war-weariness of the nobility will lose the favorable situation brought about by the unity of the princes, and the problem of coordination will inevitably arise.

After thinking about it for a long time and couldn't make up his mind, he asked Crazy Lan again:

"If an ideal truce can be achieved, how much buffer time can the Central Plains buy."

"At worst, you have only four to five years at most after the armistice, and you will face a confrontation of full-scale contact on land and sea. But it depends on how much you can inflict a loss of capacity on them before the truce, as well as losses on land, and the greater their losses, the longer they will need to replenish and prepare.

If they are determined to cease the war, and they are willing, before the armistice, they can appropriately reduce military production, transfer part of the industrial production resources, and produce industrial machine tools and domestic construction, so that they can still buy a year or two. ”

"If you take the intermediate data for evaluation, how much buffer time can you have?"

"Eight to ten years, of course, if you want to be purely comforting the result, with the best result analysis, you can fight for fifteen years, but you have to hit them hard, and the price you have to pay will not be small.

In addition, whether your strategic arrangement can deter them from deterring them from taking strategic adventures as soon as possible, and also depends on the speed with which they can reverse access your technology and the efficiency of industrial production. ”

"What's the odds?"

"This is not easy to assess, based on their current technical base analysis, if the axillary is not able to grasp the use of petroleum resources, and recognize the potential of oil, without the development of electricity, in the short term they will not be able to research, produce and use diesel and gasoline internal combustion engines, so it is unlikely that there will be practical high-efficiency internal combustion engines and power equipment.

However, at present, they occupy the tropical region of Changsun and have a lot of rubber resources, and it is not ruled out that they will find the application of rubber.

At the same time, my model is based on the current one-sided data understanding, which does not represent the probability of future occurrence. And if we don't consider the industrial scale and total production capacity, the current industrial base and advanced concepts of Xianguo should be ahead of theirs. ”

"You don't have to comfort me, I know the situation very well."

"Then I don't have much to say, but there are two things you can take advantage of."

"What two things?"

"You have obtained longevity biotechnology, and the scientific research elite will benefit from a large accumulation of longevity technology, which is beneficial to you in the short term, but from the perspective of a longer cycle, there will be a negative impact, and this effect is equally effective for axillary people."

"What exactly?"

"For example, if a long-lived person has the right to control a field or department for a long time, it will seriously affect innovation and even hinder development because of the patterning or even rigidity of thinking. I suspect that this kind of problem already exists in the society of axillary people. In short, it is the old people who have occupied their positions for a long time and have not moved their butts, hindering the development and promotion of newcomers and new thinking. ”

"I understand what you said, but as long as people's thinking is constantly updated and conforms to the development of the times, won't this problem be properly solved?"

"That being said, but how many outsiders have changed their thinking with the times since the development of Xianguo's industry, and the vast majority of people are still stuck in a slave society. And you are in a sudden situation, can you guarantee that after a hundred years of your advanced ideas and knowledge reserves are exhausted, you will still be able to keep up with the trend of the times. ”

"I see, you mean to say that long-lived people are not without side effects of civilization development."

"That's right, the vast majority of longevity technology appears after the galaxy-level civilization, and the human race is still in the stage of indigenous civilization and regional civilization, and it is not yet a complete earth-star civilization, and there is a difference of several levels of space civilization, and the technology obtained in advance is bound to have adverse side effects of inhibition and rejection of the present.

According to my estimate, these problems will gradually affect the development of civilization and become obstacles and even bottlenecks in the fifty to eighty years after your ideas and cognitive reserves are completely transformed into the general technology of society. Without my additional guidance and intellectual release, human civilization would have come to a standstill in the medium term.

Therefore, I suggest that the growth of the number of longevity people should be controlled as much as possible in the early stage, the power system should be improved, and the talent flow system should be established to avoid the current longevity technology affecting human reproduction and reproduction. ”

"I have never heard of an imperial constitutionalism, and what is the essential difference between it and a constitutional monarchy."

"You don't need to know so much at the moment, before the emergence of civilization and social phenomena, with your current knowledge, you cannot understand imperial constitutionalism."

"Well, hopefully this nonsense will come true in the future, and not be strangled in the cradle now. And what about the second thing? ”

"With the current technological reserves of the Xian country, the industrial production of key thermal explosive bombs requires the consumption of a large amount of non-recyclable gold and platinum elements, and the economic cost is expensive. So if necessary, I would suggest retrieving the mineral filtration and mining equipment in the Lost Forest's hull to recover the gold and platinum waste liquid and reduce costs. ”

"Shhh...... If you don't say it, you forget it, how low can the cost be in the end? ”

"At 160 millicalibers, it costs 20 to 220,000 inches of silver for a shell."

"So expensive!"

"I used to need 1.5 million, but now it's only one-seventh, which is pretty good."

"But this price is not the price that can be borne by industrialized and large-scale mass production [Note 1], and can't all gold and platinum waste liquid be recycled and separated, regardless of energy costs and equipment depreciation, it should be zero cost."

"Not all, the key element is a commonly used element in the early stage, but there is almost no room for high-value use in the middle and late stages, and this set of equipment in my ship's body is not full of key elements."

"But isn't this equipment a way to filter and purify minerals?"

"Yes, but the key element can't be filtered and purified."

"Why is that, what is the technical problem?"

"Under certain conditions, the key element produces strong physical phenomena of discharge and explosion."

"And then, where are the costs?"

"To solve this problem, we have to add a lot of mercury and a small amount of rare earth stabilizers, as well as gold and platinum.

The resulting waste liquid is recycled, filtered, purified and reused, and other chemicals are added to the recycling process, and other waste losses are generated at the same time, and then the cycle is repeated, resulting in additional production costs. ”

"I understand, you mean that mercury, rare earth, gold, and platinum containing key elements are formed into complex and harmful compound waste liquid after a special process, and after the waste liquid enters the equipment, it will cause damage, and to avoid this problem, it is necessary to add additional raw materials to neutralize it."

"Yes, a lot of mercury and some special rare earths are needed. The cost of recycled gold and platinum will turn mercury and rare earths into waste, which will need to be re-decomposed, and the waste will be repeated, and more chemical additives will be needed, and the cost will be spread among these specially formulated additives.

With the current technology of human beings and axillary people, the price of 1.5 million or 600,000 inches of silver is only the cost of production and manufacturing, and does not include the direct and indirect costs caused by the non-recyclability of these waste liquids and waste materials, as well as environmental and economic losses.

Therefore, if you convert it, human beings rely on the current technical reserves, and the total cost of producing a 160 millicaliber key thermal explosion bomb is not less than five million inches of silver. ”

"I know, looking at it now, there is still no business without capital for advanced technology."

"Yes, the small scale of the economy in the early days, coupled with the immaturity of technology, forced introduction of advanced technology will inevitably bring about a relatively high cost.

However, 200,000 should be able to bear it, after all, there is no lasting economic loss caused by other direct and indirect waste. Twenty or thirty years later, with the expansion of the scale of the economy and the progress of science and technology, industry and technology, the price of 200,000 inches of silver is not expensive, and the price will even be cheaper. ”

Soon after, Su Fangyi called from Yongxing City to convey the opinions of Xiao Gongyi and Su Fangxin on the armistice, and the Yuke side did not intend to cease the war here, and also foresaw what the current armistice would be, and it was necessary to make a concerted effort.

Moreover, Yuke suffered a lot of casualties in the first battle of Rongcheng, and there was no excuse for continuing to "turn the fate" (blackmail) into the armistice, and solve the placement of the wounded and the recruitment of new soldiers.

For this reason, Xiao Gongyi personally called the commander of the coalition army and the new monarch of the country, called condolences, which was really intimidating.

Especially the defense of the country, when the five countries of the West Sea were separated, it was caused by the assassination of the monarch by the royal guest, although it is an old account and a great grace, but now I want you to express that you always have to know each other.

The huge territory of the country, the new monarch's ascension to the throne is not stable, if you don't want to turn over some tricks, you should be honest. What's more, the current means are not as good as they were back then, and a bullet can kill you.

At the same time, the news of the armpit call for an armistice spread quickly, and the Son of Heaven was ecstatic when he heard the news.

Liang Guo lost a few Rongcheng in a battle, Liang County lost a battle in Liang County, Cuicheng was not easy to keep, although Jinye has been reduced to rubble, but there are still ports and city walls, the Xian army bombards indiscriminately every day, and it is in the heart of the Son of Heaven in his eyes, it is the imperial capital.

"Xiangguo, is there room for a truce?" The Son of Heaven asked Jia Zhou.

"Your Majesty, the minister and the head of Mo Jianzi have discussed that Bailiyan may not agree to a truce, and not only for now, but also in the future, until the armpit is expelled from the Central Plains."

At this time, Ji Kang interjected:

"Bailiyan has always been tired of the princes with a long war, and now the princes are caught in the war, and the national strength is very consumed, but the economy of Xianguo is getting better and better, and continuing to fight for a long time is of great benefit to Xianguo.

In addition, only in the name of expelling the armpits can troops be sent north to regain the lost territory, and then the Xian army will take the opportunity to swallow dozens of counties in Changsun, who can say a word. ”

"What Antaihou said is good." Jia Zhou affirmed, and then said: "Xianguo is currently extremely powerful, the battle of Cuicheng dispatched more than 50 iron cars invincible, and can produce and manufacture day and night, more and more in the future, in the long run, where will Xianguo still dominate, drag the princes down and drive straight in, no one can beat it."

In the opinion of the ministers, it is not important whether the war stops or not, the important thing is the princes, as long as the princes do not fight, there is hope for the truce, if the princes do not stop fighting, there is no way back. ”

When the Son of Heaven heard the news, his face was very bad, and he paced back and forth a few steps and said:

"Since Shengfan wants to withdraw his troops, then let him retreat on his own, why bother to make a big move, it is simply unreasonable. Since the beginning of the war, our military and civilian casualties have been enormous, and continuing to fight such a fierce war is by no means a long-term solution. Xiangguo, Master Mo has a good plan. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the master thought that since the armpit proposed an armistice, it was obviously also intimidated by the coalition forces, and it was difficult to support it due to the lack of troops. At present, the enemy trapped in Jinye is not to worry, it is better to take advantage of the situation to finish this battle, and after that, you can propose peace talks with the armpit in the alliance and persuade him to retreat. ”

"Is this possible?"

The Son of Heaven asked, in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart at all. But Jia Zhou swore an oath:

"I thought that the armpit was also born and raised by my father, and its regeneration was fierce and fierce, and it also had pain. In the seven years since the start of the war, the coalition forces alone have killed and captured more than 500,000 people, and the eldest grandson has fallen into a protracted war, with no less than 600,000 casualties. ”

"In this case, Xiangguo can contact the princes as soon as possible to find out their intentions, so that they can connect in tandem in the future and put pressure on Xianguo."

"Decree."

[Note 1] There are four main factors that determine industrial-scale production, one is a simpler and more efficient production process, and the other is an efficient and simple production process, which indirectly determines the production of raw materials, and the production of raw materials determines the cost to a large extent. The third is the cost of technology, if the production exceeds the technology and industrial capacity of the times to bear the product, the first and second points must not be the most ideal, so it will inevitably bring high costs, high prices lead to the inability to scale production.

Without low costs, there can be no talk of large-scale industrial production, because consumption capacity restricts manufacturing production.

Fourth, the total economic aggregate, if the commodity worth 100,000 yuan 20 years ago has increased by 100 times after 20 years, although the production technology and raw materials have not changed, this means that the commodity worth 100,000 yuan in that year is worth 1,000 now.
