Qi country, Jiaozhou border.

"What's going on over there?" Lou Jing stood on a high platform, holding a telescope and looking into the distance, a group of Jiaozhou people were erecting a tower. A machine is making a clicking sound.

"Oh, sir, there's oil pumping over there, they're a little faster than we are, they're producing a lot. The impact on us is huge. A local minor official introduced. Because oil production can be sold for money, and it can indeed be sold for money. So many people in the local area are digging wells to produce oil, and the opposite side is also buying oil, and then the people of Jiaozhou carry out simple distillation according to the technology passed down by the Qin people, in fact, the distillation technology is extremely backward and barbaric, just according to the different boiling points to get some oil products, but that's it, enough for them to make a fortune.

"Oh." Lou Jing was a little curious.

"They have more machinery and less of us, but the oil is enough for us. After all, this thing comes from the ground, and it's already very good to make money. The official was clearly content.

"Hmm. Is there a lot of production over there? Lou Jing asked.

"Yes, very big. One well, equivalent to more than twenty of our wells. Sometimes, we're not as good as each other. Local officials said.

"Oh." Lou Jing was very curious.

"But, sir, something has been going on that has been very bad for us lately." The officer said at this point.

"What's the matter?" Lou Jing asked.

"Sir, please lift the lockdown order. We get oil here and we need to sell it over there. But the lockdown order won't let us go. We can't sell it here. As a result, a lot of oil is squeezed here, for quite some time. If time goes on like this, we won't be able to live at all. Local officials said.

"Hmm. Can it only be sold to the Jiaozhou people opposite? Lou Jing asked puzzled.

"There are carriages on the other side, and the carriages on our side are very limited. Moreover, there is already such a market on the other side, so if we do it ourselves, it may take a long time, which is very bad for us. Local officials said.

"Oh. The impact seems to be significant. Lou Jing nodded and said. He knew that oil could be sold for money, but it was difficult to say that he could not afford it. There is a Jiaozhou highway in Jiaozhou, which was built by the Jiaozhou people themselves. I heard that the South Korean government has also contributed a lot of money, and the results of this highway are still there, at least they have brought great economic benefits.

But Qi's own blockade still has a great impact on Qi, because the export of oil affects their economic efficiency.

Coastal areas of the peninsula.

"Look at whether there is a group of Korean merchant ships in the distance?" A young soldier on a patrolling Qi warship said to the sailors next to him.

"It's impossible, the Koreans are busy going to the West and the South Sea. They can be in the mood to come to this place. It's just a joke. One sailor said disapprerovingly.

"If you don't believe it, you see, it's not a Korean ship over there." The young soldier said unconvinced. When a sailor heard this, he quickly picked up a telescope and looked at the merchant fleet in the distance. They were responsible for the security of the coastal area, in fact, this was the ship of the Qi State to monitor the military operations of the Goguryeo people, and the purpose of the patrol was largely not defense, but surveillance. Because the Goguryeo people were helpless against the Qi people, and the Qi people needed to understand the military dynamics of Goguryeo.

"It's really the Korean merchant fleet, it's just what they're here for. There's nothing here. The sailors raised their binoculars and looked at the ships of the incoming fleet.

"Are they helping the Goguryeo?" One sailor said worriedly.

"If the Koreans are involved, then it should be the Korean warships, but the merchant ships on the other side, not the warships." Another sailor retorted.

"No matter. Hurry up and report the head, otherwise, it will be another scolding. The sailors said. Then we started preparing for the return flight.

However, they kept a close eye on the movements of Korean merchant ships, and eventually they saw with their own eyes a large number of Goguryeo soldiers disembarking from the merchant ships, and a large amount of military supplies arrived. This is not good news for them.

State of Qin. Xianyang.

"There have been a couple of simple meetings on the part of the banks." Meng Yi reported to Shang Wen.

"They agreed to the government's pledge of money issuance, and they could mint a large amount of gold into gold coins themselves. In this way, the problem of circulating currency in the Western Regions will be solved. However, they needed more paper money to exchange for these gold coins, after all, if they wanted to accumulate wealth in the Guanzhong, they would need a lot of paper money to circulate. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Hmm. As long as they agree, it's fine. We need banks that can help us solve these problems, not trading companies, which can only be solved if we have sufficient funds. Shang Wen said.

"However, the financial situation of the countries is not very good, for example, the situation of the Tocharians is not very good. They had very few resources, and if a large number of bonds were issued, the Qin State would need these gold coins to control their bonds. But aren't these bonds very valuable? Meng Yi said worriedly.

"There's only one way." Shang Wen thought for a moment and said.

"What?" Meng Yi asked.

"Tariffs, only the control of tariffs, or other commercial taxes, I think, all the problems can be solved. As long as the Tocharian government mortgaged their customs duties, commercial taxes. I think the bond problem can be solved, but we need to make them understand that the key to solving the fiscal problem is that they don't have a big project in place, even if it's a railroad. The Tocharian government was also cautious. This is not as good as the Yueshi government. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. We can think about this carefully. The Tocharian situation can be put aside for a while. But the situation of the Dawan people seems to be a little less rosy. Meng Yi said.

"What's going on?" Shangwen asked.

"The Dawan people are in dire need of a large number of military weapons, but the transportation situation is not very good, and they have a large amount of primitive gold, but there is no place to buy a large number of military weapons, and the harassment of the Sabbatarians has had a serious impact on their mineral production. Li Xin mentioned this many times in his telegram, and they were helpless about it. Meng Yi said.

"It's a traffic problem, and we don't have a good way to solve it." Shang Wen said helplessly.

"So, we need to solve this problem as soon as possible, I think, should we start to solve the problem from the Yueshi, or the north of Dawan, after all, it is a high mountain, but in fact, within our control, it may be better to solve the problem by relying on a difficult position." Meng Yi said.

"It's a great way to try it." Shang Wen nodded in agreement. After all, they can only make such an attempt now.

Yue's assault cluster, where the seventh regiment was stationed, Li Lian anxiously took a report and found Bai Le.

"An unexpected thing happened, it was about your Qin army." Li Lian anxiously took the report and said to Bai Le.

"What's the matter?" Bai Le said disapprerovingly.

"One of your officers is named Li Chun. Captured by the Indians. Li Lian said anxiously.

"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Bai Le asked anxiously.

"Look at the report, one of our patrols was suddenly attacked by the Indians, and suffered heavy losses, only one seriously wounded soldier escaped, and he reported it when he returned, and we were very cautious and sent the troops in front to investigate, we were very careful, but the situation was confirmed in the end." Li Lian shook his head and said.

"The Indians sent people over, and they said that they would exchange Li Chun's life for fifty rifles. This matter has been reported to the authorities. All the officers of the Qin army seemed to know about this. Li Lian said.

"What if Qin Jun doesn't exchange?" Bai Le asked.

"If they don't exchange, they will detain each other or shoot them directly. In short, they have a way. But. Li Lian hesitated.

"But what?" Bai Le asked.

"But I don't think the Indians will do that, first of all, they don't dare, and if they provoke the Qin army, they know what the price will be. This is the last thing they want to see, and besides, they've never been like this before, and they can't negotiate terms with us. Li Lian said confidently.

"Damn Indians dare to attack our patrols, they dare to do chaotic things. If our Ministry of Defense knew about this, it would lead to a bigger battle plan at home. Damn Indians, just prepare for the wrath of the Qin army. Bai Le said.

Inside the headquarters of the assault group.

"I'm sorry for that, we've done our best." When Admiral Moran heard the news, he thought it was a joke at first. Because the Indians have never taken the initiative to attack their patrols, because they never dare, and if they attacked their patrols, the Indians knew what to expect. But now the problem is, it's happened. Their patrol was attacked by the Indians. And the losses were heavy, and worst of all, their ally, an officer of the Qin State was also captured. As for the officer's name, he didn't care, but he knew that the Qin army would never allow an officer to be captured by the other party.

"We won't agree to these conditions." Meng Ping shook his head after reading the report and said.

"If you take fifty rifles to exchange, this is a shame for the Qin Army. This is a threat, a provocation. They are trampling on the dignity of the Qin Army. Meng Ping said with great annoyance.

"But, it's already happening. We have to get this right. Mo Lan looked at Meng Ping and said. The officers of the Qin State were their natural allies. The Yueshi people can't afford to provoke the Qin people, they also need a lot of assistance from the Qin people, without such assistance, their Yueshi people can't form an effective combat force at all.

"We absolutely do not agree with this, and we would rather watch this officer be killed. I am also unwilling to accept such conditions. Damn Indians. Meng Ping said.

"Still. The things that the Indians themselves are looking for. They should accept the wrath of our Qin people, the Yue people. Meng Ping said after calming down.

"I don't know. What do you think of?" Moran asked curiously. He didn't know what the people of Qin would think. Because the thinking of the people of the Qin State is different from theirs. They also didn't know what the Qin people thought.

"We all need a reason before we go to war, and that's to be famous. If we attack, we're in a disadvantageous position. Meng Ping said.

"But now, the Indians have taken the initiative to sabotage the peace, they have provoked the Qin army, and they have done a sabotage of the peace. Irrational behavior. They will have to pay for it. Or rather. This is the reason why we are fighting, and we should thank the Indians for creating such a good opportunity for us. Hahaha. Meng Ping laughed as he spoke.

Moran was a little confused at first, but he quickly understood what the other party meant, which was the reason why they wanted to fight. Now they need such a reason.

Meng Ping soon drafted a telegram and sent it to the Ministry of Defense of the Qin State.

Xianyang, Qin, Ministry of Defense.

"Something like this happened." Wei Yu also showed a look of surprise after seeing the telegram from the Yue's front.

"Sir, what are we going to do? The Indians demanded that we exchange our fifty rifles for hostages. But the front commanders believed that this was a threat, and they thought that this was the best reason to fight, after all, we also sent two cavalry regiments to the battle. A colonel security officer said worriedly.

"This. I think it's good to get this out to the press conference. Let the news reporters know about this matter, I think, the people of Qin will know about this matter, and then take this matter. Support our actions. Wei Yi thought for a moment and said. The Qin State really needs a famous event, and now this matter has become the best reason for the Qin State to send troops.

"Okay." The colonel-officer nodded.

Press conference of the Ministry of Defense of the State of Qin.

"An officer named Li Chun was surveying the border with the Yueshi patrol. Suddenly a premeditated attack by the Indians was found, the Yueshi suffered heavy losses, and our officers, fighting to the last moment, were captured due to physical exhaustion. The spokesman said worriedly.

"The Qin Army is very worried about the safety of this officer. But for now, the Indians have refused to maintain contact with the Qin army and have refused to give any explanation for the attack. The spokesman further said. Journalists embraced such shocking news.

Therefore, the Qin Army took the necessary military measures in this regard. to protect the safety of our Qin Army officers. The Qin Army refused to challenge the Qin Army. Say anything no. They will pay a very heavy price for their actions. The spokesman said confidently. Journalists record the moment.

For a time, in the Guanzhong area of Qin, the people condemned the Indians, and many believed that the Qin State should carry out the most cruel revenge on the Indians. But many Qin people didn't even know where the Indi was, and as for why the Qin army officers were arrested, or why the Qin army officers went there, they didn't know at all, and the news reporters also intended to report on the arrest of the Qin army officers, but they deliberately avoided the Qin army's actions in Yueshi. Everything is creating a big excuse for the Qin State to send troops.

"What we need to worry about is the officer's safety." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"The Qin army will do this, we are putting pressure on the Indians, this is a good reason to send troops, we need such a reason." Meng Yi said.

"Hmm. I don't know about military things, I know we should be ready. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

Sinzheng, South Korea. Han Shu felt that the Qin people were hypocritical after reading this incident in the newspaper, but South Korea also needed such a reason, if it were not for the killing of a South Korean diplomat, South Korea would not have launched the Meng-La War and taken extreme military measures against Mengla, but now everything has already begun.

"Your Majesty, we should pay attention to this military campaign of the Qin people." Zhang Liang was keenly aware of what was going on, because he thought of the recent large-scale military orders.

"What?" Han Shu hadn't noticed anything yet.

"Your Majesty, the recent large-scale military orders of the Monglas, the source of their orders is that the northern dynasty has suffered a major military threat. This military threat is talking about the Yueshi people. Zhang Liang reminded.

"Hmm. I know. But we haven't confirmed the authenticity of this matter, or that the meat that the Northern Dynasty said is just not this Yue's clan, we need to further determine, if so, I think the military pressure caused by the Qin people may have a great impact on our military arms sales. Han Shu thought for a while and said. She immediately understood what Zhang Liang meant.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we should have prepared early, I think. There is a great connection between the two, and the pressure exerted by the Qin people will be very beneficial to us. We need such favorable conditions to do a lot of things. Zhang Liang suggested. He believes that Qin's pressure is very beneficial to South Korea's military production, but South Korea's military industrial enterprises cannot afford such a huge military order.

"Hmm." Han Shu still had some hesitation.

"Your Majesty, we need transportation, as well as processing and manufacturing, which will take a lot of time. However, if it is not launched as soon as possible, the time wasted may be large, and the military operations launched by the Qin State may become faster and faster. Zhang Liang said.

"I understand this, but there are risks, we need to take a lot of risks, and the only way is for our companies to be prepared for this, and the risks of the enterprises will be borne by themselves." Han Shu thought about it and said. Although the government can accept such an order, there is a risk in it, and commercial competition to commercialize the military is the purpose of Han Sook, who wants to know how much military profit can be brought by South Korean commercial enterprises participating in military production.

"Let the merchant do it." Han Shu said.
