973 Let's take a gamble

The economic situation of the Qin State was generally prosperous and developed. However, there are often big hidden dangers behind such prosperity and development. The faster the economy grows, the more likely it is that there will be problems behind it, especially for someone like Shang Wen, who is deeply concerned about the devastating effect of the economic crisis. But an economic crisis is inevitable.

"Sooner or later, we will have to face an economic crisis that is even more terrible than war. And, we're going to do it every once in a while in the future. We can't avoid it. This fact can only be accepted. Shang Wen said to himself to a clerk who reported economic data.

The clerk felt very strange, he didn't understand why the helmsman of the Qin State would say such a thing, and he didn't understand that the Qin State was going to experience something more terrible than war. What is this thing. He himself didn't know.

Qin's economy performed well. Although Shang Wen wanted to try his best to avoid the economic crisis, he didn't know where to start. At the same time, I don't know what to do. After all, he is a weapons expert, not an economic expert, and economic matters still need economic experts to solve. What Shang Wen can do is to maintain the current state of equilibrium.

There were many other things going on in the country of Qin, and these things were mainly focused on legal matters. The Qin state was constantly giving birth to many new affairs, and the birth of these new things urgently needed laws and regulations to improve its system, otherwise, the entire social system would be chaotic. A new thing is not just born. His ultimate goal is to integrate into society as a whole. Serve this society.

Although Qin's legal system is better than that of the Six Kingdoms, there is still a long way to go from the ideal society in development, and the current legislative power is in the joint discussion of the King of Qin, Shang Wen, and the ministers. And the people, only those remote states have local legislative power, in the center. The population still lacks ordinary legislative powers. This put a lot of pressure on Shangwen.

Although Shang Wen would like to make great progress in the legislative power, Shang Wen cannot touch this power now, because the legislative power will touch the royal power. In this society with a strong royal character. Anyone who wants to touch the royal power will have a tragic result. Shang Wen has not yet touched this idea from the hands of the royal power for the time being. He could only wait. Wait for your chance.

At the temporary garrison of the allied forces in Yandu, a cavalry team of 7,000 people secretly assembled under the cover of late night.

"Everybody's assembled. Hurry up. A cavalry captain led his horse in a large open field where various cavalry were gathered.

"Sir, we're all assembled over there." At this time, a second lieutenant of the cavalry of the Zhao Army led his horse and said.

"Sir, such a large assembly order, is it that we have a big war to fight?" The second lieutenant asked.

"I don't know, I just received an order to assemble suddenly. Maybe it was a drill, but according to the habits of the Qin people, it was impossible to conduct such a big war without a large-scale exercise. The captain said.

"Yes, I also participated in a few exercises, and then, I was suddenly told that I was going to be sent here. It seems that it will be possible to enter the state of a big war only after the exercises. The second lieutenant said.

"Maybe, we're going to participate in a drill this time." The second lieutenant said comfortingly.

The captain ignored the second lieutenant's question and answer, and the captain vaguely felt that this was not like participating in an exercise, but more like the beginning of a large-scale operation, because another order he received was to let his men receive sufficient ammunition. And the rationing of ammunition increased a lot at once. The order also recommended that a company should carry three times as much ammunition.

The captain was very dissatisfied with this order, because carrying a large amount of ammunition meant that the cavalry was much less mobile, and the number of horses did not change much. This made the captain very unhappy, and at the same time, with so much ammunition with him. The captain was very skeptical that this operation was very likely to be a real military operation.

The Captain's current thoughts are only a guess, and specific orders have still not been obtained. Because the order to assemble suddenly was sudden.

And among the cavalry units of the brigade. Some of the veterans of the cavalry also sensed something was wrong.

"Let's go." Several soldiers in charge of logistics carried their own guns on their backs. The two walked past the veteran with a box of ammunition.

"What are they carrying?" A private asked.

"Damn it. It seems to be ammunition. The veteran said, glancing at the box.

"Ammunition." Private said in surprise.

"Yes, it seems to be a live bomb, not an empty cartridge." The veteran said calmly.

"Live ammunition, what does it mean, why carry live ammunition." Private asked.

"How do I know?" The veteran said disdainfully.

"Chances are, we're going to have a big war. Only at the time of the Great War. Live ammunition will be distributed. The veteran said.

"The Great War." Private said.

"Yes, the big war. So many people. The veteran turned his head and pointed to the ever-gathering forces.

"I've heard people say it's a drill." Private said.

"Damn, have you ever heard of the drills with live ammunition?" The veteran asked rhetorically.

"It's a big fight." Private said to himself.

And the veterans were disdainful of the overreaction of the privates, because many recruits felt inexplicably nervous about the new big war. Follow the nervous recruits. Veterans will also find it bad. Because, tension is not a good thing on the battlefield, because of tension, anything can happen. The veterans are well aware that so many things will happen to these recruits and cause great problems for the veterans.

The veteran has come to terms with this fact. In their opinion. Sooner or later they will go to war. And the recruits are different, they are still very new to war, everything is very new and unknown.

"The platoons, in shifts, came to get the ammunition." At this time, the soldier carrying the ammunition box shouted loudly.

"Whoa." The cavalry of the Zhao army assembled in the open space exploded. ammunition, which means, there is going to be a big war to be fought. All the soldiers had their hearts in their throats.

The cavalry of the Zhao army began to receive ammunition in squads.

Not far away, a cavalry colonel of Zhao Jun was discussing something with a lieutenant colonel.

"Have we distributed all our ammunition?" The Colonel asked, a little nervously.

"Distributing it." The lieutenant colonel looked at the colonel, who was trembling, and said. He didn't know if it was a little cold at night, or something else, but in short, the colonel looked a little nervous.

"Okay." The colonel just nodded.

"After the ammunition is distributed. We'll get the order on in a moment. The colonel said.

"What an order." The lieutenant colonel asked.

"Yes, the Brigadier's order." The colonel said.

"We're going to do it once, attack." The colonel said.

"We have to go a long way forward to block the rear road of the Qi army. This is our task, our logistical supply, all rely on our own ammunition and supplies, and the whole battlefield is full of unknowns and challenges. The colonel said.

"That's our plan." The lieutenant colonel asked.

"Yes. Command above. We will have more than seven thousand people, a cavalry brigade to take part in the battle. The colonel said.

"See the infantry in front?" The colonel said.

"Their order is estimated to have been given. They're going to get ahead of us. They are infantry units. Slow in action, we have to get ahead of them and block the Qi army. Then they came from behind the Qi people and came fiercely. The colonel said.

"That's all we planned, and it's bold. I think it's a bit risky, though. The colonel said.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that this plan is a little inappropriate. We don't have any backup. The cavalry units that had just been reinforced were incorporated into combat units. I don't know what to say. The colonel said with some sorrow.

And the lieutenant colonel on the side, until this moment he did not know that their troops were going to participate in a large-scale military operation. And this military operation, he only found out at the last moment.

"We have not experienced exercises to conduct such a large military operation. And then, this brigade of ours. The lieutenant colonel asked questioningly at this time.

"Don't they know? The two cavalry regiments in which we participated in the battle this time were from different combat divisions. And they belong to different combat units, and there are also some combat units of different levels integrated into us. I wonder if the people up there are crazy. The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"I don't know." The colonel said. This military operation. The Zhao army drew the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Division of the Zhao Army and the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Zhao Army. The 1st Cavalry Regiment also participated or fought, and they had just returned from a change of defense in the north. The 2nd Cavalry Regiment was a newly formed cavalry unit, and their personnel and equipment were very new. There was not much combat experience, and the officers were all young officers. The number of veterans is small. Training is also not sufficient. In addition, there were some temporary cavalry battalions that had just been formed and had not been incorporated into any units, and cavalry companies were also incorporated into these combat units in a chaotic manner. In order to achieve the goal of unified command, the Zhao army temporarily organized the two cavalry regiments into the mixed First Cavalry Brigade. The brigade commander was commanded by a brigadier general with extensive combat experience. This allowed Zhao Jun to reduce the trouble of command.

But, this military operation. Neither of them had a high positive rating.

"My brigade is from two different combat units, and there are a lot of chaotic military units joining in." Brigadier General said.

"Everything was rushed. In a hurry, I don't know if we can win this battle. The brigadier general said without any certainty.

"We can only take a gamble." The brigadier general said so at the meeting.
