"We just need material support. Vertex M. is the fastest update," Mons whispered to Meng Tian.
"I don't understand what you mean? We understand that you should have a good relationship with the Sabbath, and at the moment you would like to be independent, but I don't understand this situation. Meng Tian shook his head and said.
"The situation is a bit complicated, the Sabbath country doesn't know what's going on, the situation we know may come from trade, because of the goods of your Qin country, there is a big country to the west of the Sabbath country, they collect high taxes, and the taxes pose a great threat to the Sabbath country, they think that the other party is a deliberate provocation, in order to suppress the other party, the Sabbatarian country decided to send troops, the scale of the army is more than 200,000, but we Tocharians want to send 100,000 troops, and all the materials need to be borne by ourselves, which is for us Tocharian, It's a huge burden, but we have no intention of not going to war with a country like the Sabbatarian Country. Mons said.
"Why don't you go your own way?" Meng Tian asked.
"If we become independent, we Tocharians will have to face direct military pressure from the Sabbatarian State, which is a huge blow to us, we cannot withstand such pressure, and we do not want to directly face the attack of the Sabbatarian State." Mons said. For the Tocharians, their current strength is not yet able to fight, that is to say, their biggest opponent is a hegemon, they are powerless to challenge, the only way is to obey and preserve their strength, they decided to follow the arrangement of the Sabbath, but in this way, their losses are relatively large. Especially the loss of materiel.
"We understand that this is the result of state diplomacy. But you're going to be very passive when you do that, and I think you're very aware of that. Meng Tian said to Mons.
"Yes, but we don't have the strength to do anything." Mons said.
"If you are independent, the Qin State can provide material help, not only material help, but we will also allow you to maintain an advantage in the situation, for now, I think that the loss of your troops will be greater, plus the consumption of your troops before, I think that if you continue to send troops, especially if you follow the rest of the country, this situation is very bad." Meng Tian analyzed.
"I wonder what the general thinks?" Mons asked.
"My opinion is that at this time, it is a good time for you Tocharians to become independent, I don't know about the west of the Sabbath country, there may be a country that is comparable to the Sabbath country, or very weak, but such a country needs the Sabbath country to mobilize more troops to fight, which is very consuming of the Sabbatarian country's national strength, for example, they will use you as cannon fodder. I suspect that's probably what it means. Meng Tian said.
"Cannon fodder?" Mons asked, puzzled.
"I mean, deliberately sending you to death, and then using your power to consume each other's strength, so that the Sabbatical Kingdom has achieved the purpose of control, and in this way, they have eliminated two enemies, a potential enemy, and that is you. The other is your other enemy. Meng Tian said.
"Hmm. I kind of get it. But if we are independent, the situation is very bad. Mons said.
"You know, those Sabbatical have cannons, they have all kinds of weapons, and they are far superior to us, and that makes it difficult for us. We need to be safe. Mons said.
"Security is obtained by ourselves, I think this is an opportunity, in the face of two enemies, I think the strength of the Sabbator will be reduced a lot, although they will attack, but, you can get more supplies from the Qin State, our Qin State can assist you with a batch of supplies, of course, we are asking for all kinds of benefits, you can borrow money to build a railway, and when you have money in the future, defeat the Sabbatarians, you can get what you want." Naturally, these can be done. Meng Tian said.
"This." Mons hesitated.
"Of course. You can choose to survive the current situation, but what are the benefits of such a situation for you? I don't understand. That's the way it is, anyway. I think this is an opportunity that you should seize and become independent. Meng Tian said.
"So, Sir Meng, how do we resist the cavalry of the Sabbath country, we Tocharians only have infantry, I heard that your Qin country has resisted the attack of the cavalry of the Sabbath country?" Mons instead asked a technical question. This question seems delicate.
"It's very simple, we don't take the initiative to attack, just a passive defense, we have barbed wire, their horses, those light cavalry can't pass through, and it's easy for us to shoot targets, we are such a defense, build a big, deep defense in depth, and then just make the Sabbatarian cavalry impassable. But when the kingdom of Sabbath cannot expand further and comes to a standstill, we can send out cavalry to attack them and inflict a great attack on them. That's it. Meng Tian explained.
"This." Mons felt a little hard to believe.
"Trust me, barbed wire. You may have faced such defensive weapons, and the cavalry was very disgusted with them, especially the infantry. Our infantry is also against such weapons, as long as you build a large number of such dense positions. I think it's very difficult for the Sabbatarian cavalry to organize an effective offensive, and not only that. "Meng Tian at this time.
"Also, you can lay mines, give more weapons to your civilians, and muskets are easy to use, as long as you are well hidden. I believe that we also have a hard time getting in. Meng Tian said to Mons.
"We need a lot of advisors from you. to help us. Mons said.
"It's natural, there's no problem, we can do that." Meng Tian said.
"However, these supplies need to be ordered as quickly as possible, and the railroad needs to be built, and such a war needs to consume a lot of resources to carry out. In the end, I believe that the Sabbath will not be able to bear it. Meng Tian said with a smile.
"I see." Mons nodded, then took his leave, and went to telegraph. Meng Tian sent a telegram to China.
"Barbed wire, mines, muskets, a lot." Telegram content is as simple as that. Wei Yi read the telegram in his hand.
"What do you mean?" Wei Yi asked, looking at the telegram in his hand.
"Sir, the report will be sent later." The receiver explained.
