Qin State, Xianyang.

"The idea of the Admiralty, I personally think it is not very mature, because if we do this, our logistics supply port will pass through the area under the actual control of the Yan State, which is not conducive to the expansion of the Qin State, and the development of the Qin State is seriously restricted." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi and Minister Wang Shu.

"However, only the Liaonan Peninsula can meet our needs, and further north, we need the help of the army, and besides, it is densely forested and inhabited. The cost of marching is very high. It may be difficult for us at the Admiralty to support such a huge expense. Wang Shu said.

"Although our Admiralty has come up with a lot of ways, for example, to cooperate with the South Korean Navy to carry out some technical cooperation, but these technical cooperation has not brought much help to our Navy, and we have also helped the Chu side to train naval officers, but they seem to be more willing to cooperate with the South Korean Navy." Wang Shu said.

"So, in terms of cost, we can't pay too much for the War Department to do the port survey, and after the port survey, we need to build the railroad. It's a lot of torture for us. Wang Shu said to Shang Wen.

"Hmm. I understand the dilemma of the development of the Navy. Shang Wen said.

"But I think that the Admiralty has not come up with the technology you are best at, I know that your Admiralty has a lot of technology, such as welding technology, which was used first, and the technology is patented, that is, your Admiralty, and the naval technology you have is the most advanced technology, and it occupies an absolute monopoly position." Shang Wen said.

"I think that the Admiralty should continue to open up these technologies and obtain more financial support, with such financial support, I think it should be possible to do a good job, and the current government is also actively building the Western Regions, the northern region, and the civilian infrastructure will be further strengthened." Shang Wen said.

"However, if the Admiralty continues to liberalize naval technical cooperation, it will make the Qin Navy lose its dominant position in technology, and I think that if this is done, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of the Navy." Wang Shu said.

"Although the Qin navy has an absolute technological superiority, however, this superiority needs to be maintained. The South Korean Navy and the Chu Navy are developing rapidly in this regard, and they have the momentum of surpassing the development of the Qin Navy at any time, and with the technical support of the Qin Navy, I personally think that this may be a huge disaster for us. Moreover, I am worried that in the future war of unification, the Qin State will be on the weak side. Wang Shu shook his head in disagreement. Wang Shu is a conservative man, which can be seen from his age.

He believes that the advantage of the Qin navy lies in his technology, not his quantity, and that the Qin state has a large number of new technologies that can be used, and the Qin state has its own ironclad ships. Attention, it's the ship. Instead of ships, the overall hulls of each country are relatively light, while the Qin State can load larger caliber artillery on it, and the fortress artillery can be loaded on it, sinking the opponent at a greater distance. And countries, despite their sheer numbers, cannot pose a threat. This is the technological advantage of the Qin Navy, Wang Shu believes that the future development of the Qin Navy is to maintain this technological advantage, and Wang Shu himself is resolutely opposed to Shang Wen's idea of opening up naval technology and carrying out naval technical cooperation with other countries.

"The technological advantage of the navy comes from the development of enterprise technology, these technologies will gradually lose their value over time, if the navy maintains this conservative military attitude, I think that sooner or later the Qin navy will become a navy that will not be enterprising, the Qin navy is the earliest naval force established in various countries, but I can't see the aggressive spirit of the Qin navy, on the contrary, I see them in the South Korean navy, as well as the Chu navy, which is a very bad point for us." Shang Wen said to Wang Shu with some disappointment.

"At present, Qin enterprises are transferring a series of outdated technologies, such as artillery drilling technology, with the investment of research funds in various countries, I believe that in the future, countries will definitely surpass the current technology of our Qin Navy, their artillery caliber will be larger, and the propellant used will be more powerful, which may surpass us, and in contrast, we have no enterprising spirit at all, for a port. We don't even have the slightest idea of technology transfer. This disappointed me. Shang Wen said to Wang Shu.

"This." When Wang Shu saw Shang Wen say this, he didn't know how to explain it. Perhaps, the best explanation is that no explanation is needed.

"The Prime Minister's meaning is very clear, technology is not immutable, the current technological superiority of the Qin Navy may be called the root cause of the failure of the Qin Navy in the future, and the Qin Navy should be more active in exploring the use of new technologies, rather than conservatively using the technologies that have been produced." Meng Yi on the side explained. He's relieving the king.

"Hmm. This one. I think, I get it. Wang Shu said.

"We will actively carry out relevant naval technical cooperation with the South Korean Navy and the Chu Navy, on the one hand, to promote the development of their naval technology, and on the other hand, our Navy will also actively develop, use new technology, and become a positive developing naval military force." Wang Shu said.

"That's a good point, Mr. Minister. However, for the problem of ports, we will look for new ways to solve them, but for the consequences of technology, we know that they will threaten the security of Qin, but if we do not develop, the navies of various countries will also develop, and we passively wait for their development, which is extremely passive, passive, and we must understand what our opponents are doing, what we are doing. Shang Wen said.

Wang Shu then left Shang Wen's office. But Shangwen has a new problem to face.

"How to solve the problem of the navy's port, this point is very important to us, the navy has not had its own port is not good, we can't use the Chu country. In this case, the development of our navy will seriously lag behind. Meng Yi asked worriedly.

"But the development of the Navy needs the help of the Army, which is in great trouble, and their reduction plan, if implemented, will cause quite a crisis. I don't quite agree with the War Department's proposal, but it was a very difficult decision to take into account the development of the Navy. Shang Wen shook his head and said. The matter in Shang Wen's hands is very tricky, if it is not handled well. It's dangerous.
