The march into the Western Regions went unusually well. The Allies met little resistance. Especially such an army that is generally equipped with fixed metal ammunition. There is an airplane fit on it. There were cavalry cannons underneath. The logistical supply is close to infinite. The railway has quickly crossed the Hexi Corridor and approached the mouth of the Western Regions. A large number of immigrants have taken over a lot of the logistics. Some of the mercenaries have withdrawn from the battle and seized a large amount of meadow as their future pasture farm. Settlement work has already begun. But this was only a unilateral action of the Qin state. Rather than the concerted action of the three countries.

Allied forces were rapidly approaching the vicinity of the mountains of present-day Afghanistan. It's basically no man's land. The pace of the march began to deliberately slow down. The war in the Southern and Western Regions is coming to an end. The war in the Northern Western Regions gradually unfolded. However, the preliminary statistics of the entire Southern and Western Regions are about the size of the entire Chu State. The State of Qin expanded a place the size of the State of Chu in one fell swoop. This makes Zhao Guo and South Korea very unbalanced psychologically.

Qin Guo is like a big boss. Cho and Korea are like hired workers. The original condition was that the Qin State only needed to give food and clothing. with. That's it. And now they suddenly found out. What they asked for was simply not worth it. Just for a little bit to eat. with. Just do it for nothing. And the state of Qin made a fortune. This had to make the other two look red.

In fact. The most psychologically unbalanced is Zhao Guo. Zhao Guo contributed the most. In total, he sent nearly 40,000 troops to fight the Western Regions. In addition, more than 30,000 people were sent to help Qin defend the northern defense line. Zhao Wang after seeing the news promo and newspaper reports. shouted at the hands of the Qin State.

South Korea doesn't matter. The idea of the queen of South Korea was originally to plan to divert some of the domestic pressure. Train and expand the army. With the help of Qin's war, it was possible to replace it with new weapons and expand its armaments. Although pay. But Qin gave a preferential price. Some are also free. For example, the modification of some guns and the training of officers. What's more. Win the trust of the Qin State.

Of course, both of them made no less money. Han and Zhao snatched a total of 7,000 stone of gold and jade. One-third of these booty indirectly flowed into the Qin state. Banks, service companies, and mercenary organizations have all lowered their prices. Yingyu's Western Railway Company even intends to raise train freight rates. Or they are using banks to buy at a large price. This is a disguised form of exploitation. Even if the soldiers robbed a large amount of loot, they could only be exploited by them. Because you can't keep fighting with the spoils. And buy land. Obtaining a land permit must be in cash. So. The state of Qin received land for free. Then turn the other way around, recur war money.

The gold and jade of the two families cost a huge amount of transportation to be transported to the Qin State. The jade was then sold and only the gold was transported. Yingyu earned a lot of benefits with the help of the railway. The benefits of war can be rich.

Many Zhao people also took the opportunity to make a fortune. After earning money, they emigrate directly to the new occupied territories. Over there. They can become Xinqin people as long as they pay taxes. Enjoy the low tax burden of the Qin State. However, this caused Zhao Guo's dissatisfaction. Zhao also wanted to have a "colony" of its own to move Zhao Min. Obviously, it was intended to target Zhao Min, who made a fortune. Taxes were then levied from these Zhao people.

This is why the "colony" was first proposed. South Korea proposed a "colony" in fact for gold. In the vicinity of today's Assi gold mine. South Korean troops preemptively occupied there. The reason for this was that this information was provided in the large number of prisoners of war they collected. The state of Qin also began to investigate the distribution of gold deposits. Especially in the mountains. Yingyu had to spend a million gold to buy the mining rights in the gold-producing areas of the Tianshan Mountains. But the South Korean military apparently got the startling news first. They sent a regiment of troops to occupy the area to the death. After the actual occupation. The queen hopes to use this to master the region as an important source of gold for South Korea.

Qin's intelligence services had long been aware of the abnormal state of affairs in South Korea. But South Korea used one of the earliest encrypted telegrams to convey the news. The telegraph was delivered uniformly using the telegram of the Qin state. Telegraph lines are divided into civilian and military. The two are only physically separated, so they are not in the form of passwords. However, when South Korea transmits the password, it is unified to add a new password after the last digit. Qin Guo just wrote it out and felt strange. But I don't know what it means.

This early encrypted message gave Korea the idea of a "colony". South Korea must have its own source of gold. This is a matter of national security. At this time, South Korea knew the power of Qin's banknotes. South Korea's income was actually settled in Qin's half-tael banknote. South Korea plans to establish the first central bank. Then he cooperated with the Qin State to issue South Korea's own banknotes. Gold reserves are required for the issuance of banknotes.

Qin's attitude towards the "colony" appeared to be somewhat dissatisfied. The state of Qin was the most invested of the Triple Alliance. The entire logistics supply was completed by the Qin State itself. The two countries sent almost only people.

The king of Qin received such a telegram and thought that the two countries were extorting. Shang Wen also thinks that the two countries have gone too far. It's a pity. The three countries only have clear military obligations. However, there is clearly no agreement on the actual distribution of the spoils.

The Qin State only discovered a few copper mines, lead-zinc mines, near the Northern Western Regions. Gold mines have only been found somewhat. The harvest was abundant near today's Khotan. A large number of primordial jade stones were found in the Qin state. The rest will need Qin's geological exploration team to carry out prospecting activities.

For this "colonial" claim. Shang Wen thought it was an unreasonable request. And asked the two countries not to discuss it again. But such a reply could trigger the danger of withdrawing troops. Wang Jian raised objections. This is a serious diplomatic crisis.

Shang Wen needs to reasonably solve the requirements of the three countries for the distribution of interests in foreign wars. This is equivalent to the boss's unexpected extra profit. This time. The boss has to take out some profits to share dividends, comfort and encourage employees.

But the Western Regions is a potentially big cake. Shang Wen checked certain information. Know that there is a lot of gold, jade in the area. In addition, there are abundant non-ferrous metals. copper ore, as well as a range of other non-ferrous metals cesium, strontium, etc. Most importantly. The desert in the South and Western Regions is rich in oil and natural gas resources. These are the regional value effects that will affect the "colony" in the future.

But Shang Wen thinks there is a point. The state of Qin was very favorable. That is, the connection between these "colonies" and the mainland had to pass through the Qin state. How to solve this problem. You know, this is not the sea. It's land. The traffic situation is likely to block all connections in the area.
