2799 Stay on alert

"How's it going?" The sergeant major asked a Hun corporal.

"I don't know, there are still many words that I can't recognize, I don't know if I can pass the exam, the words I recognize myself may exceed 500 words, but if you take the exam." The corporal touched the back of his head and shook his head.

"Don't be nervous, the exam is easy. We'll pass. Sergeant Major said.

"Hurry, hurry. Are you fucking dead here? A Hun scolded fiercely, his stick beating an Indian who was already lying on the ground, and the Indian curled up so that he could not even feel the pain.

"Sir, this." The corporal looked at the Indians beaten by the Huns and said. They are returning to Qin, and when they return to Qin, they will have to take exams, which is a disaster for the Hun soldiers, they need to learn Qin's script and learn knowledge to stay, he doesn't know why Qin's did this, but it always makes sense.

"Don't worry about that, those are the slaves who built the railroad. Leave them alone, let's not be troublesome. The sergeant major said after looking at it.

"Yes, sir." The corporal nodded, he saw a lot of Indian prisoners of war in striped clothes were constantly building roads, their workload was very large, in some mountainous areas, there were still a lot of tunnels to be built, these tunnels were not only a lot of work, but also very dangerous, on both sides of the railway, from time to time there were still a large number of laborers who fell and could never stand up.

"Thankfully, it's not us Huns. Or maybe it's going to be very bad. The corporal said.

Goguryeo, inside the headquarters of Li Wending.

"This war can't be fought. Ongoing stalemate. The mountaineers can't attack, and we can't keep the opponent down. On the contrary, the demand for materials is increasing, which makes us very passive. This war has already plunged us into a financial crisis. Li Wending said. Hawke just shook his head, in fact, they were already in a financial crisis. The large amount of military spending has caused a rapid increase in their fiscal expenditure, and the expansion of military spending has made it difficult for them to maintain their finances. And the war shows no end at all.

"Or we can stop the war, we can maintain peace with the south, only then can our situation be better." Hawke suggested.

"Truce, how?" Li Wending asked.

"The problem is that it's hard to stop now, and you can't stop at all." Li Wending said.

"If we take the initiative to stop, the situation may be very bad for us. I can't stand the huge war reparations we have to deal with. Li Wending said.

"Well, we can only let countries help us according to the needs of different countries, and I think the situation may be better." Hawke thought for a moment and said. For politics, military, diplomacy, Hawke had some ideas of his own.

"Tell me about it." Li Wending simply did not have a good way to solve this problem.

"Yan Kingdom, the breakthrough is Yan Kingdom. The Yan people got a lot of gold mines, however, they lack labor, and at present South Korea can provide labor, however, it takes a lot of time for their labor to be transported, this is a gap period, if we can reach an agreement on the labor issue, maybe we can solve this matter peacefully, and besides, the Qi side does not seem to be very willing to expand too much, and the situation in Korea, the Koreans have helped us before, if we can unite the Yan country, South Korea, Then if we use Qi to put pressure on the southern countries, the situation may be better for us. Hawke said. Li Wending lowered his head and thought.

"Yes, we can give it a try, no matter what, it's still good for us, if we don't do anything. The war will never end on its own. Li Wending said.

"So, we did." Hawke said.

on the peninsula. The positional battle continues, and neither side has the ability to break the situation. The southerners seem to have become accustomed to this positional way of fighting, Goguryeo will not prevent the commandos from raiding their positions, but the southerners will, they will raid the Goguryeo positions at night, and the Goguryeo will engage in sniper battles during the day, and the two sides will fight fiercely.

The soldiers of the South came together for the sake of hatred, and because of hatred, their will to fight was very high. The skirmishers tactics of the Qi state could be used, while Goguryeo's will to fight was relatively low. They came here to make a fortune, but as a result, before they could make a fortune, they lost a lot of their lives, which made their situation very irritable, and the constant sneak attacks of the southern soldiers made them feel a huge mental pressure. The soldiers' war-weariness was great.

Many soldiers hope that their top brass will end this war. But the date of the end of the war is still far away. They can feel it.

Qi State, Laizhou.

"How do you solve the bank's problems?" Tian Heng asked Lou Jing, if Qi wants to have its own shipbuilding industry, it must solve the financial problem of the shipyard, and if this problem is not solved, many problems cannot be carried out.

"Introduce national banks and adopt a competitive system. Let our banks learn how to make money in the face of competition. Lou Jing said.

"Competition?" Tian Heng laughed.

"I'm afraid our banks have lost before the competition has even begun. You know our banks, they don't have that much capacity at all, and a lot of times, we simply can't compete with those banks. Tian Heng said worriedly.

"But if we didn't, our banks wouldn't have started this kind of business at all, and they wouldn't have been actively lending money at all." Lou Jing said.

"Hmm. You're right. We have to do it. However, my fear is that our banks will be crushed by those foreign banks before they can start business. In this case, there will be a big problem for the survival of our bank, which will be a huge disaster for us. Tian Heng said. Tian Heng's worries are justified, and in contrast, the banks of Qi are too much protected. Under such protection, they began to do nothing. And Lou Jing's method is very simple, is to introduce the competition mechanism, in the case of competition, the banks of Qi will have a sense of crisis, under the effect of the crisis, Qi country's banking and financial methods will definitely solve a lot, if the banks are not active, just rely on the government's administrative orders to develop, the situation will be very complicated. Lou Jing didn't want that. However, if competition is introduced, it can be very good for the development of Qi country's banks, which is an extremely beneficial practice for Qi country.

"If we don't do this, too much protection will make our bank drag down the development of our shipbuilding industry, and South Korea has also introduced the Qinguo Bank to compete, although there are many tigers and wolves, but if you can't survive in the tigers and wolves, the bank will not develop, and the bank that will not develop will have no role." Lou Jing said calmly.

"Hmm." Tian Heng thought calmly. Qi needs banks to play a financial role and provide more financial help for enterprises, but the current banks in Qi have not done this, so that the role of banks in Qi has not been played, and a bank that has not played the role of a bank has no use, which is useless at all. However, after the introduction of the competition mechanism, under the huge pressure of competition, Qi Guoban either grew up or was beaten down by the other party all at once. Faced with such a choice. Tian Heng was a little embarrassed.

"Okay?" Tian Heng asked Lou Jing. Lou Jing thought for a moment.

"A bank that can't finance is useless, just like a hen that can't lay eggs, but can only be killed." Lou Jing said this metaphorically.

"Hmm. Qi doesn't need hens that don't lay eggs. Kill it. Tian Heng made up his mind after hearing this. What Qi needs is a bank that can make a difference. And not inactive banks. In the face of such pressure, Tian Heng could only make a choice that was conducive to the development of Qi State.

Chu. Wu Yue Shipyard.

"What? Your shipyard is so big, it doesn't even have ships, and we want all of your ships. A nobleman waved his arms and shouted. But the ships in the Wuyue shipyard were ordered, and it was impossible for them to hand over these ships to these nobles, and the nobles began to frantically order ships from the shipyard after receiving the order of the governor of the Prime Minister's Office, because they knew that only enough ships could transport enough troops, muskets, and cannons, and only these could stabilize a stable position on the Western continent, without these, the governor would not get these at all. This is the power of the feudal officials. And the economic effect will be very large, he will be able to control all the trade in the region. It's definitely a crazy business trade practice. All the aristocracy saw this, the merchants could not do this, they only had money, they had no power, but the nobility could, they had armed forces in their hands, private armed forces.

"This, these ships, are all ordered, we can't change these at all, if you need to, I think, sir can go to the shipyard next to order it, there are already a lot of people here today. They have ordered a lot of ships, and these ships will take six months to be delivered, which is already very tight. The director of the shipyard explained.

"Side?" The nobleman asked.

"Or to Qingcheng, Jiaozhou, where there are a lot of boats." The director said.

"I can't make it in time. Forget it, I'll take a look. The nobleman said helplessly.

Liu's Shipyard near Wuyue Shipyard. This is the shipyard of Lu Pheasant. Shortly after the Governor's order was issued, the schedule for her shipyard began to strain.

"General Manager, current. The order has been scheduled for half a year later. We expect to build more than 200 ships of all kinds, and the schedule is very tight, but if we start construction faster, it will require a lot of money. An assistant said to Lu Pheasant. This assistant was dug by Lu Pheasant from Xianyang, Qin State. In the state of Chu, many things were done informally. This made it very inconvenient for her to do it.

"Hmm. We have to find a way to solve the problem of funding, and only sufficient funds can solve more problems. Lu Pheasant said.

"Hmm. Manager, we can try the bank's lending, if the bank can lend to us, our things will be much easier. A lot of things can be carried out smoothly, and the problem of funding is easy to solve. The assistant said.

"It's a good idea, but we've mortgaged a lot of things, and the only way is to mortgage those ships, but, ships." Lu Pheasant was still very embarrassed, but thinking that she could get a large amount of loans by mortgaging the ships under construction, it was still more cost-effective for her to get this matter.

"Alright. Think about it. Lu Pheasant said. Because if you do this, you still need to take a lot of risks, and once such a risk is too large, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of the shipyard. Lu Pheasant wanted to avoid such a situation.

Sinjeong, South Korea.

"Zhao Guo's technology also has a lot to learn from, for example, their steel, and machining, they have their advantages, we also have our own advantages, for example, in chemistry, we are still much better than them. But it's a collaboration between the two of us, learning from each other. Everyone does not have as much technology as the Qin State reserves. Han Shu looked at the report in her hand and put it down. Zhao Guo and South Korea learn from each other in terms of technology, so that they can learn quickly and develop their respective strengths.

"Wang, the Yan side hopes to cooperate with us, such cooperation, we can achieve the advantage of expanding shipbuilding, Yan State set up a state on the Liaonan Peninsula, so that they have the need to develop shipyards." Zhang Liang said.

"We never interfere in the specific development of things, as long as the enterprise has the prospect of development, let our own business owners do it." Han Shu said.

"Let the company do the specific things, we don't care about them." Han Shu took measures to decentralize. Qin adopted a model of liberal development, and South Korea naturally needs to learn this.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang recorded that perhaps he could not get used to this kind of management model. It's too loose after all.

Bangladesh, inside Zhang Shi's office. The officer in charge of discussing the matter with the government of Bangladesh came back and reported.

"There's nothing they can do about it because they have fewer troops and can't do anything like that, but they tell us. This Goddess Cult is growing rapidly, and it is said that they have received the news of the Goddess Cult growing and growing. The officer reported.

"Sir. In addition, our garrison was frequently attacked by the Divine Cult, and the local soldiers reacted relatively strongly, and some of the Turkish regiments deserted, but we took strong measures to suppress them. The situation has been stopped, but if we continue, it may be very bad for us, and we have to do something to stop it from happening further. Another officer said.

"Scouting, how's the scouting report?" Zhang Shi asked.

"The situation is very bad, the Divine Woman Sect has grown all of a sudden, and the nearby villages have united, and they are very unfavorable to us." Another officer said.

"Hmm. I know that we need to make a plan of action, and we need to retaliate against them, but I think we should first stabilize the soldiers and let them know what they are doing. In addition, the reward given to them should be large and high. Zhang Shi said. Zhang Shi thought that this was just a riot, and the way to deal with the rioters was very simple, that is, it was even crazier and bloodier than them.

Accounts for the western part of the country. The South Korean New Army is stationed, there is a telegram here, Wang Ying's Breaking Wave has finally arrived here after a long journey, what they need to do is to send the news they get to South Korea immediately, and they need to rescue troops, they need an army to do this.

"It's long, but I'll give you money, as long as the message gets out." Wang Ying said anxiously. He brought with him intelligence from the Seth Nation, and he also had a large number of Seth Scholars on his ship, which was a great fortune. The telegraph operator silently sent the news to Xinzheng, South Korea, which was a direct telegram, and the news was absolutely shocking.

Inside Guo Xiang's camp. There is a large number of Seth people gathered here. There are more than 10,000 people, but only 2,000 people can fight, which is a very good number.

"Cavalry, cavalry, cavalry appeared in front." The sentry shouted. Guo Xiang immediately picked up the telescope in his hand and stood on the lookout.

"Open up our banner so they can see it. If they rush at them, attack them. Guo Xiang gave an order after going up. All the people began to be on alert, and the Seth panicked, knowing that they were terrible Sabbath cavalry, and that their arrival would bring great slaughter. They are afraid of death.

"It's just the scout cavalry of the Sabbatarians, they don't have many of them." Guo Xiang said after looking at several cavalrymen. The cavalry had run back and forth for a while, and then they had stopped to observe, and one or two cavalrymen began to leave, perhaps the rest cavalry wanted to test it.

"Attention, they may be tempting. We need to be ready. Guo Xiang ordered. The Sethians began to resist with rudimentary weapons. If they give up their resistance, what awaits them is killing, endless killing. This is absolutely unacceptable to them.

"Sir, they look like they're leaving." That's when it happened. The sentry said.

"Oh." Guo Xiang saw it with a telescope. He saw that several horsemen had finally left the place, and they seemed to see what they were interested in and hurried away.

'If they attack, maybe we can hold on, but if they have more people, it's going to be very bad. We'll just have to wait for the killing. Guo Xiang said helplessly.

"Stay vigilant." Guo Xiang then shouted.
