1186 unfavorable schemes
After the retreat of the cavalry of the Zhao army. Small commandos of the Qi army immediately began to strengthen their defenses. At the same time, the Qi army on the other side also accelerated the delivery of follow-up troops in order to expand their bridgehead. Stabilize the situation on the other side.
"Sir, the Qi army is coming." At this time, a staff lieutenant colonel hurriedly walked in and said to Brigadier General Zhao Jun.
"What?" The brigadier general apparently did not understand what the lieutenant colonel meant.
"I said, the Qi army has appeared on our side. They landed in this position. "This time. The lieutenant colonel immediately indicated the location of the landing site on the map.
"What do you mean? The Qi people attacked from across the river? At this time, the brigadier general asked.
"Yes. Sir. The lieutenant colonel said.
"Oh. Damn it. "This time. The brigadier general said when he heard the news.
"According to the latest battle report, not many of them have come. But the weapons and equipment are excellent, and I think that the other side is coming over with elite troops. We also have an advantage in numbers. "This time. Lieutenant Colonel said.
"Elite troops, we simply can't pull troops to launch an attack. Now, in front of us are about 10,000 Qi troops, desperate to cross the river and return to their homes. And we only have 5,000 people, but we are going to be here, and we will resist them to the death. Our defenses are already weak. We still have nearly 2,000 troops that have not been found. We can't launch an offensive. The brigadier general said at this time.
"However, sir, we can't let the Qi army build a landing ground, so that we will be attacked on both sides, once such a situation happens. It's very bad for us. "This time. The lieutenant colonel suggested. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qi army was gaining a foothold and maintaining stability, and immediately launched an attack. In this way, the other party can be driven down.
"It can't be." The brigadier replied directly.
"You know what? It's hard for us to pull people around. And then there's the fact that we don't have a lot of supplies. We have artillery though. But there were not many shells. It's good that we can hold on here. If you go on the attack. We're going to lose here very quickly. "The brigadier general believed that his troops could not afford such a heavy task, knowing that the front of their defense was somewhat too large. Understaffing. Many lines of defense are separated from each other by a lot of distances. Not only that, but there are a lot of problems with their logistical supply. Their ammunition consumption is very high. However, the amount of supplies was very limited. So. This is very unfavorable news for Zhao Jun.
"What we can do now is to watch these Qi country mongrels come over." Brigadier General said.
"Sir, it's really bad for us to do this. We have to do something. The lieutenant colonel continued to suggest.
"Alright. Don't talk about this topic anymore. If you have a way, you'd better come up with a plan, I'll not give you many people. Also, in terms of weapons and ammunition, you don't want to get more support. Now we are having a hard time defending this front. To deal with those Qi people, we can only let them come over. The brigadier general also knew very well what it would mean once the Qi army crossed the river. However, there is no way to do it. To know. The defensive surface of the cavalry of the Zhao army was very large. It's hard for them to make a big difference.
"Okay, sir, I'll come up with a good way to use no manpower and no ammunition." The lieutenant colonel was helpless, but said with some annoyance. Although the lieutenant colonel tried to exercise great restraint, it still showed something. But the brigadier didn't seem to mind.
"We are going to strengthen our defensive line. We need to hold out until the infantry arrives. The brigadier general said. And the lieutenant colonel left with a helpless salute.
"Damn it. We're going to be caught between two sides. We can't do anything. "This time. The lieutenant colonel walked out of the command tent and complained.
The situation faced by Zhao Jun began to deteriorate in all its aspects. They will face tremendous pressure on two fronts.
"At present, our army must make every effort to protect our landing ground and establish a bridgehead position. Don't push forward just yet. As long as we drive there like nails, our army can be victorious. "On the other side of the river. A commander of the Qi army said.
"We just watched them cross the river." On the commanding heights not far away, a sergeant of the Zhao Army said to an officer.
"Yes. That's all we can look at. We can't do anything. The officer of the Zhao army said.
The Zhao army lacked the necessary shells because of the artillery, especially their ammunition consumption was particularly large. They are in dire need of new supplies, but they are very limited. This led to the fact that when the Zhao army faced the assembly of the Qi army on the opposite side. Unable to fire from the cannon.
"What should we do? Ask those artillerymen to open fire. The sergeant pleaded.
"No way. We are so short of shells that we can't open fire. At this time, the officer said.
And the soldiers could only watch these Qi troops cross the river, and they were helpless about it.
This situation of Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun's senior management is also actively carrying out actions.
"We should use the limited air transport to provide some logistical supplies, you know, this cavalry unit is now in the rear of the enemy. The logistical supply lines are very long. And it's very difficult. We should supply them with air supplies. Li Mu was on a long-distance call. Said directly to the chief of staff of the Qin State.
"I understand this, but you have to understand. We were supplying 5,000 troops, which required a considerable amount of airship transport. Moreover, long-distance transportation takes a long time. We can't hold it up for long. And the amount of supplies is very limited. I think we should solve the problem of road resupply. Otherwise, if such a war continues, it will definitely be a war of attrition. Wang Jian said on the phone. Wang Jian said this because the current financial situation of the Qin State is very bad. If this kind of transportation is carried out regardless of the cost, then the cost is too large. This is for military spending, which is already tending to be tight. It's a disaster.
"However, this is war, now it is not about calculating costs like businessmen, we have to win the war on the battlefield." Li Mu emphasized.
"We know that." Wang Jian said.
"I think it's better to start recharging as soon as possible. Otherwise, in the long run, it will be very bad for us. Wang Jian once again stressed the importance of ground replenishment.
"I know that, but you know, the ground is moving very slowly. We can't open things up. Li Mu said.
"Yes. We'll figure it out. Wang Jian said. Wang Jian realized at this time. The state of Qin is going to increase its air power to conduct operations.
Wang Jian and Li Mu only had some simple exchanges on the phone. As for the rest. Further debriefing from the front is needed. And within the state of Qin. Every effort is being made to solve the financial problem.
"This time I summoned everyone here to solve the problem of the current currency circulation of the Qin State." Meng Yi convened an emergency internal meeting of the banking system in the Qin State General Office. The content of this meeting was to solve the problem of the currency circulation of Qin.
"The main reason why Qin's stock market fell was that Qin's liquidity was very poor, and a large amount of banknotes flowed abroad. This caused a shortage of Qin's domestic currency. In particular, the banks of the state of Qin. This is the main reason for the current sharp drop in the stock market of Qin. Meng Yi concluded.
"That's true, we can't raise money for them right now." A banker said at this time. The situation with the banks is well known to the bankers. The most tense place in the Qin State at the moment. It is the bank, and the current Qinguo Bank is basically in a state of closure.
Even if it's not closed. The hours of operation are only one hour. In this hour, there was a lot of commotion. The current state of the Qin state. It worries all bankers.
"So, I want to ask, how to solve this problem?" A banker asked at this point, standing up.
"Yes. Very good. That brings us to the new situation that we are going to discuss. "This time. Meng Yi got to the point.
"According to the economic meeting of the king and the prime minister. We're going to tie gold to paper money so that there's a relationship between the two. "This time. Meng Yi said.
"This, the government is not going to print paper money in the case. In exchange for those papers? At this time, some bankers said dissatisfied.
"Paper money is mandatory in the Qin State and issued on behalf of the national power." At this time, Meng Yi emphasized.
"Let's just say that, actually, banks are very short of paper money right now." This time. Another banker said at this time.
"So, now, the king has proposed a plan to exchange gold for paper money. Convert gold hard currency into paper money. Increase the liquidity of money in the market. Meng Yi continued.
"I'm against it. This is very unrealistic. Gold was only a futures item before, and gold was only limited in foreign trade. Before, it didn't have much to do with paper money, and nowadays, the amount of gold in our banks' hands is very small. I think. This is very unfair to us. A banker said.
The banker had a very limited amount of gold. If this plan is followed, then he will get a very limited amount of banknotes, which will not be able to occupy market share for them. Bankers are well aware that if they get enough gold in the midst of this crisis, they will have a sizable share of the market. This is very clear to Yingyu, who is sitting in a remote corner. Unfortunately, the amount of gold in her hands is also very small. The few are very pitiful. It is so small that it is difficult to gather a considerable number to support the market share of the previous Wenyang Bank. According to this plan, it is very unfavorable to Yingyu.
