"In terms of expenditures, the biggest problem is the high cost of the war. I have taken relevant measures to solve this problem, but everyone understands that my efforts in this area still cannot solve the problem. Shang Wen said.
"The state of Qin is facing new security problems for national defense occupation. There are many places where soldiers are needed. The Xiongnu and Hu people in the north, as well as the ethnic minorities in the northwest, where there are newly occupied lands, and our flanks, the Qiang people in the Hexi Corridor, although we have occupied some plateau areas, we still have a big security strategy security problem. Shang Wen said.
"The existence of these strategic security problems determines the high military spending of the Qin State." Shang Wen said.
"We don't feel safe enough." Shang Wen directly pointed out the fundamental reason for the existence of this problem.
"In our neighborhood, there are many situations that we don't know and don't know, and many peoples, tribes, and countries don't know about us, and they don't know about us. The emergence of these circumstances makes us feel very uneasy, so for the sake of our domestic security, we need to continue to use foreign troops. Shang Wen said.
"This has directly led to the fact that our defense spending has risen to a new height, and the emergence of this height makes us feel that it is difficult to support. Therefore, we have taken some measures, and these measures are to reduce military spending, but although we have made several cuts, the current situation of the Qin State can no longer continue to cut. The state of Qin could only stop the war. to keep the current situation running. Shang Wen said meaningfully. Qin's current strategic security posture is very favorable to Qin, but Qin's spread is too big. This forced the Qin to reconsider their use of the army.
As a result, the Qin state had to postpone the timetable for the unification of the six kingdoms by the Qin state. Judging by the course of history. At this time, the state of Qin had already annexed Korea and the state of Zhao. The State of Qin is provoking a war in the State of Yan. But Shang Wen's appearance postponed the occurrence of all situations, which is not Shang Wen's strength alone. It's the power of history. The expansion of the Qin State will inevitably bring new problems, but this problem came early and changed some situations.
"According to the current situation, the Qin State is no longer able to concentrate its forces to solve the problem of the use of forces on either side. The Qin state lacked effective mobile forces. Shang Wen said.
"The Qin State can only rely on the strength of its allies to complete the containment of the diplomatic posture and military posture of the six countries." Shang Wen has made new adjustments in national strategic security. This adjustment is to adopt the method of political alliance with some countries as much as possible. Political, diplomatic, military repression, in such a way. to save money and lay a solid foundation for the unification of the Qin state. Shang Wen said. Shang Wen's idea was to achieve the goal of the final unification of the Qin state through the relationship of alliance partners, but this method would take quite a long time, but the Qin state needed this method at present. First, the current financial situation of the Qin state can only do this. Second, there is no need for the Qin state to continue to expand its territory now, and the Qin state has already occupied a lot of resource-rich places. These places included the northern part of the Qin state, as well as the northwestern side. These two places are rich in various resources, especially in special metal noodles. The Qin State had a more powerful resource advantage than the Six Kingdoms, and not only that, but the Qin State also relied on its own financial means. Firmly controlled the coal of Zhao State. At the same time, using other means, the Qin state controlled the transportation rights in Korea. The Qin State had priority access to the Xinzheng Railway Hub, which can be seen from the fact that the Qin State transported troops.
The state of Qin relied on his various means to control the vital resources of the two neighboring countries. In this regard, Shangwen's policy was successful. However, as far as the use of force by the Qin state is concerned about unifying the whole country. Shang Wen himself didn't know if he was doing the right thing. Shangwen first ensured the security of a people's external environment. But this environment brought a lot of pressure and responsibility to the Qin State. At the same time, the Qin state postponed the unification of the six kingdoms because of this responsibility.
But there's no denying it. Shangwen's approach also has some positive significance, Zhao and Korea are no longer so strange and ignorant of Qin, on the contrary, they began to actively understand and learn from Qin. Although their favorability towards the Qin State did not rise much. But their understanding of the Qin State has deepened a lot. Not only these two countries, but Qin also had a new understanding of several surrounding countries, and they believed that Qin was politically stronger than these two countries. Moreover, the Qin State attaches more importance to the use of talents than these countries. The Qin State attaches great importance to basic education, while the two countries, one does not attach much importance to education. Zhao Guo is. On the other hand, they don't attach much importance to basic education, they value university education, and they urgently need talents.
But. Both countries send a certain number of international students.
The students sent by Zhao mainly focused on the military aspect. South Korea, on the other hand, is quietly changing. In the past, international students in Korea were mainly military officers. There are only a small number of students studying in the civil field, and they mainly study mechanical and engineering. But now, instead of reducing the number of students studying abroad, South Korea has increased the number of international students, and in terms of civilian technology. South Korea has stepped up its investment in personnel. Especially when it comes to emerging technologies. For example, automobiles, machinery and equipment manufacturing, machine tool processing, and various mineral resources and so on. South Korea has invested a lot of manpower.
Shang Wen's report was not finished, and all the deputies were listening carefully to the current financial situation of the Qin State, and they must first have a detailed understanding of their own family background, and at this time, they could put forward some constructive suggestions. They have to think not only about their own interests, but also about the interests of the country.
While Shang Wen was explaining the issue of military spending, Wang Jian was discussing some new situations with Li Mu.
Wang Jian met with Li Mu at the border checkpoint between the two countries while inspecting the defense of the Taiyuan Military Region. Because the two countries discuss issues in the area of the border dispute, that is, talk in the blank space of the area under the actual control of the two sides, the personnel of both sides are not officially abroad.
"You already know the situation in Zhao Guo." Li Mu said.
"A cavalry unit of the Zhao State has been inserted into the rear road of the Qi army, but their troops have not been gathered, and there is a lack of effective supplies, and the supplies they carry with them are rapidly being reduced, especially in terms of weapons and ammunition. In this regard, they lack enough ammunition to maintain their current situation. Our infantry is moving very slowly, so we need your help. Especially help in terms of air power. At this time, Li Mu directly proposed.
"Yes." Wang Jian just nodded. Nothing is indicated.
"The reason for the slow progress of our infantry is that the roads in the Yan Kingdom are in poor condition, and we need your Qin State to send sappers to help us build a road to speed up our logistical supply, and at the same time, we also want you to provide some engineering vehicles for some transportation." Li Mu continued.
"Well, we need to think about it." Wang Jian said at this time.
"You must know that the air power of the Qin State has already supported the ground forces of the Qin army before, and their losses and pilot fatigue are very high. Moreover, the range of the aircraft cannot provide long-distance combat, only airships can, however, the fatigue level of airships, as well as the maintenance of airships, require a certain period, and the Qin State is currently unable to send airships to participate in the war. Wang Jian said at this time.
"This." Li Mu was obviously a little anxious,
"We are currently allies. The Allies should provide some help to each other. Li Mu said at this time.
"I understand your situation. But that's true of our situation, but we have a solution. Wang Jian said at this time.
"We can use reserve forces, and the Qin State can recruit some civilian airships to join in, but in doing so, the Qin State will inevitably increase military spending, you know, the prime minister of the Qin State is currently vigorously reducing military spending, and we have some difficulties on this issue." Wang Jian said directly.
"I think we should talk to the Yan people, they can pay this fee, and besides, the Yan people are attacking and dragging, and we also need you to urge the Yan people to take military action as soon as possible to assist us." Li Mu said.
"Yes, we will." Wang Jian said politely.
"In addition, we should focus on reinforcements, cavalry troops, they are interspersed with long distances, their supply problem is very large, and we are eager to solve this part of the problem." Li Mu took the initiative to say.
"Well, this requires the use of larger airships. We're a little too risky on this. Wang Jian said.
"We're just asking for part of the military aid." Li Mu said.
"We don't ask for a lot in terms of weapons, if we can't achieve this. We can't dig into this battle. Li Mu emphasized again.
And Wang Jian just nodded silently. He also knew that if Zhao Jun's demands could not be met, Zhao Jun would most likely face a major defeat.
The interspersed cavalry had only a small supply of ammunition, and they could be said to be isolated and surrounded behind the Qi army. Their condition is the worst, the most susceptible to deterioration, but the most critical.
"Well, we'll try to do it, no matter what happens? The Qin side was willing to provide some help. Wang Jian said at this time.
"What we need, we will propose." Li Mu said angrily.
And Wang Jian could only smile as an answer. Zhao Guo was not polite at all. And the Qin side could not agree to it all.
