1228 Recruit alien mercenaries
"What better way can we do it?" At this time, Wang Jian asked calmly.
And all the staff officers present, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't know what the advantages of this method are, and what disadvantages they have. All the staff officers were thinking about this in detail.
Soon the subject was given to the General Staff to draw up a detailed plan for what kind of organization they were to follow to join the army and help them in the war.
Under the formulation of this plan, a number of plans were formulated to carry it out. For specific scenarios. Wang Jian was not interested. He was interested in quickly resolving the problem of the Qiang people in the southwest, because the telegrams and telephones there were already bursting. If you don't hurry, the problem will worsen.
"Integrate the Huns and highlanders into the Qin army?" When King Qin saw this report, he asked Wang Qian.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Jian said respectfully.
"The army of the Qin State is incorporated into such an alien race. What would the people of Qin think? At this time, King Qin asked.
"Your Majesty, they are not included in the army of the Qin State, they are at most the mercenaries of the Qin State, and they are not counted as matters within the establishment. We're just letting them attack another alien race. At this time, Wang Jian replied.
"Yes." King Qin just sighed, obviously, King Qin was also thinking about the impact of this matter.
"This matter, carry it out first and get ready." King Qin thought for a moment and then said.
"Whoa." Wang Jian replied with a salute with both hands.
King Qin knew in his heart that the reason why Wang Jian submitted such a plan was very simple. The Qin army could not wait for the situation of the Qiang people in the southwest, but the Qin state was currently able to draw very limited troops, and temporary conscription would require huge military expenditures to sustain it.
But Qin's current financial situation did not support this, even if it was a conscription. Where did the soldiers come from, the Qin state needed a cycle to perfect their army. A group of recruits needs to be trained to become real soldiers in order to go into battle. But there wasn't enough time. There was not enough time for Qin Jun to complete such training.
And these minorities, they can do it like this. They are military by nature, and they love to fight. The most important thing is that they are a minority, which is not too important to the Qin State.
The report was quickly implemented. The report was sent in the form of a telegram to the northern part of the Qin state. Meng Tian saw the telegram of the report at the headquarters.
"The General Staff actually asked us to recruit some Huns, highlanders to become mercenaries." At this time, Meng Tian took the report and said.
"Sir, what does that mean?" The chief of staff on the side asked at this time.
"Then you see, our situation is not too optimistic." Meng Tian said at this time.
"To our southwest, the Qiang appeared. At home, we are shrinking our military spending, and our domestic economy is unstable and we can't provide enough money. In the case of a reduction in military spending, the chief of staff came up with such a way that these mercenaries would not cost the Qin army a penny. Meng Tian stood up at this time and said.
"Nope. It should cost a small amount of money, strictly speaking. At this time, Meng Tian said. And his chief of staff was looking at the report seriously at this time.
"Their clothing, logistical supplies, and other supplies need to be completed by us, and the price we give them is freedom, they can be free, not slaves." At this time, Meng Tian said.
"This plan, I think there are some shortcomings to be known. Our army had been at war with them before, and now we have our soldiers fighting in the same trenches as them, I can't believe it. "This time. The chief of staff said.
"I really don't believe it, what would our soldiers think?" said the chief of staff.
"If it were me, I would be worried, and I'd rather point my gun at them than at the Qiang. Because they are just too much of a threat to us. The chief of staff said at this time.
And Meng Tian moved his eyebrows at this time. He expressed his understanding. After all, everyone understands. They had fought a bloody battle with this alien race before. And now, if you let your soldiers fight in the same trench as him, what will the soldiers think, they will think that the people above have put the enemy in their trenches. And these aliens, will they take revenge on themselves like them. If this is the case, according to the thinking of the Qin people, they think that they will, if the Qin people are the other party's, he will give the other party a moment first, whether the other side is an enemy or a friend, such an opportunity is very rare.
The key to the difficulty of implementing this plan lies in the lack of absolute trust between the two sides, so to speak. There is simply no trust between the two.
They couldn't believe that they were enemies before, and now they were in a trench. What reason between them could they stay in the trenches on their own. The soldiers of the Qin army were absolutely disgusted. They absolutely don't believe in these aliens.
"I understand, however, we still have to give it a try, we can compile more obedient mountain people, at least they are more trustworthy than the Huns, and the Huns, we try to use them as little as possible, mainly we observe them to use." At this time, Meng Tian thought about it and said.
"And how many people do we have?" At this time, the chief of staff asked.
"I thought, not much at first. We're going to make a company, then a battalion, then a regiment, and we're going to see how they react, but, given the reaction of our soldiers, we should make them independent, so I think it's better, and better, to change their minds and make them loyal to us. At this time, Meng Tian emphasized.
"Yes. Got it. At this time, the chief of staff said.
"Yes." Meng Tian replied.
"So be it. Have more questions? At this time, Meng Tian asked.
"And then there's the North Korean side. According to information provided by our security company, a large number of soldiers with muskets have begun to appear on the North Korean side, and they have had a great impact on our business activities. Although the weapons are not as good as ours, the appearance of these muskets makes it difficult for us to deal with. At this time, the chief of staff said.
"These muskets are from the Qi Kingdom." Meng Tian said at this time.
"Whew." Meng Tian took a deep breath at this time.
"You know. Where did these guns get into their hands? "This time. Meng Tian asked.
"Don't know?" The chief of staff said at this time.
"A detailed investigation is clear, and we need to know that these guns got into their hands through channels." At this time, Meng Tian said.
"Yes, sir." The chief of staff replied.
"Okay, let's get out, we need to solve these problems in detail." At this time, Meng Tian said.
After the withdrawal of the Chief of Staff. Meng Tian began to think about the current problem, and Meng Tian currently only had two divisions and three independent battalion units in his hands. One was the 1st Cavalry Division. Another reserve of the Qin State, the 3rd Infantry Division. The number of troops here is not small for the Qin State. Their armies were scattered. This led to a rapid decrease in the number of mobile forces prepared by the Qin State, especially after the land area increased considerably. This has directly led to the deployment of such dispersed and severely dispersed forces. Although Wang Jian has repeatedly compressed, such things are unavoidable. The defense of some parts of the Qin State was handed over to the local militia for defense, which was not a good phenomenon for the Qin State.
And the pressure on Meng Tian in the entire north is relatively great. First of all, the Huns, who were going up due north, did not settle. After the death of Dadanyu, the Huns began a chaotic internal struggle for power. This greatly relieved Meng Tian's pressure, however, the Qin army's defense situation did not decrease much.
On the contrary, he had to raise troops to strengthen the defenses in this direction, and if the Huns completed the stabilization of internal power, they would inevitably move south. But Meng Tian had no power to attack.
And in the East. Harassment by the Highlanders continued. The fight between them is not less. These battles were all skirmishes. The scale basically occurs at the battalion and company level. And in the south of the east, there is the Korean state, this country began to have a new situation, they used new weapons, these weapons in the eyes of the Qin state, are still backward, but this kind of weapons fell into the Korean state, making Meng Tian feel uneasy. If they develop the United Mountain People to the north, the situation will be a little more troublesome.
And Meng Tian is most worried about his own strength, he has to take away a division of troops, the third infantry division is a reserve division, that is to say, he is the last reserve of the Qin State, he can't be stationed for a long time. This made Meng Tian very worried that he did not have enough troops in his hands.
Meng Tian was worried that his troops were not enough. Zhao Jun, on the other hand, is struggling to negotiate.
"We have to accept it when we see it, but we can't let the Qi army retreat in vain, after all, we have an advantage at present, they are in trouble at home, and if they want to let them go, it is a kind of cheapness for them." Li Mu said at this time.
"We need them to pay a sum of money to make them retreat, otherwise our battle will be in vain." Li Mu said to his subordinates.
"The general is clever." The staff officers shouted. And Li Mu was noncommittal. The situation is clear. It was inevitable that the Qi army wanted to retreat quickly. After all, Linzi is in chaos like that. It is impossible to hide from the world, and with the rapid improvement of communication tools, the spread of news is getting faster and faster. The people of Qi simply could not block such news.
"We must be prepared for the possibility of being blackmailed by Zhao Guoren." Tian Heng said in his big tent of the Chinese army.
"Zhao Guoren can't let us go like this so easily." Tian Heng said.
