"This is the latest weapon of the Qin State, an armored combat vehicle." Wang Jian introduced.

"This kind of weapon, you can attack. Retreat, you can keep. And most importantly, unless there is an artillery attack. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to destroy it at all. Wang Jian said.

"The most important thing is that this weapon does not require a horse to pull. And tracks were used. This way of advancing could crush all the infantry that stood in his way. Wang Jian confidently introduced. And the envoys and ambassadors of the Yan Kingdom, as well as the Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom, all showed great enthusiasm for this weapon.

During the Warring States period, the greatest threat to the infantry phalanx was the car. In the past, the Qin State was equipped with a large number of chariots for use as battlefield assault and mobile forces. In particular, the huge impact of the combat vehicle poses a very great threat to the infantry. And Yan Guo is also an old Warring States. In the understanding of this veteran Sengoku. Combat vehicles have an incomparable status. Previously, Yan Guo also tried to restore the chariot troops. However, with the rapid renewal of infantry firearms, as well as the emergence of artillery and cavalry units, this bulky weapon of this car has withdrawn from the stage of history. Moreover, it does not play a big role on the battlefield.

The first is that his goals are big. And the combat effect is not very good. A four-horse-drawn chariot had little chance of backhand in the face of scattered shells fired from artillery. A hit on one or two of the four horses could cause the chariot to overturn, and in a high-speed impact, such a self-rollover could have a series of unimaginable consequences.

Secondly, with the advent of automated weapons, in particular, machine guns. In high-speed shooting, it is difficult for horse-drawn carriages to form effective combat power, and even the more mobile cavalry has the possibility of withdrawing from the battlefield. In a rain of 500 bullets a minute, there was no bloody body that could stop the bullets fired at high speed.

At last. That is, the overall defense of the carriage is not strong. This can be found in the idea of the appearance of armored combat vehicles. Tanks are actually another name for armored combat vehicles. The earliest mobile weapon of mankind was the chariot, but the human industrial civilization changed the way it was driven and equipped with armor to give it a certain degree of defense. On top of this, weapons were added, and in this way, a completely new weapon was formed that perfectly combined defense and offense. This is what armored fighting vehicles are.

"Can you sell us this weapon?" The envoy of the Yan Kingdom asked eagerly.

"Of course. Now, the situation in Yan Kingdom is very bad. That's why our king asked us to take you to see the weapons and equipment display of the Qin Kingdom. "Wang Jian apparently became an arms sales specialist.

"To be honest, such a weapon is only equipped with one battalion in the Qin State. If necessary, our factories can produce more tanks. Wang Jian said.

"General, you also know that Yan Guo is in a very bad situation now. We need new equipment, excellent weapons such as special combat vehicles. We hope to be able to take these weapons immediately, right now, and now for money. Prince Dan interjected eagerly at this time.

"Well, in terms of price." Wang Jian came to a desire to capture at this time.

"It's easy to say, the equipment of a battalion in Yan Country is still out." Prince Dan said loudly. He also planned it. This military expenditure comes from his own family property. Prince Dan has been a hostage in the Qin State for a long time, but in fact, this kind of hostage has little meaning. Moreover, King Qin also thinks so. But it's a tradition after all. Even if the Qin State did not need such hostages, the Yan State would do so because it was necessary to do so in order to improve the relationship between the Qin State. It's a gesture of sincerity.

However, this move allowed the Prince Dan of the Yan State to gain another unique advantage, that is, to take advantage of the rapid development of the Qin State. In Qin, he bought a large number of Qin's industrial products at cheap prices, from steel, steel pipes, cement, asphalt, to screws, screwdrivers, and a series of products, he resold them to Yan in large quantities, and earned a rich price difference, which was enough to make Prince Dan the richest man in Yan, but he only resold the goods, and did not participate in the construction of the country. This is mainly because he has been in the Qin State for a long time.

However, Prince Dan's patriotism allowed him to purchase the equipment of this battalion to equip the Yan Army at his own expense. Wang Jian also hopes to see such an outcome. However, the calculating Prince Dan offered another additional condition. This proviso is quite generous, and it is also quite bold.

That is to help Yan establish the Yan Air Force. At the same time, a new type of Yan army was retrained. This Yan army was equipped with a new smokeless gunpowder post-pull revolving magazine rifle. As well as water-cooled, air-cooled machine guns. In addition, there were slappers and infantry light and heavy artillery used by the infantry. After equipping three fully equipped divisions, the Qin State exported a batch of weapon-making machine tools to the Yan State, allowing the Yan State to manufacture the subsequent weapons production.

This proposal stunned Yan Guo's envoy Ji Xin. And Wang Jian thinks it's tricky, because it involves the politics of Yan, and this kind of politics is very delicate. The power struggle between the king and the prince. Especially the paternity. And at the heart of it is the question of control over the military. Qin State Military. Wang Jian avoided the issue on the spot, citing the need to consider technology patents. But armored fighting vehicles, as well as infantry weapon systems, this can be talked about. As for the export of weapons, processing and manufacturing. This Qin state needs further consideration.

However, just when Yan and Qin purchased a battalion of armored combat vehicle equipment, a new situation had already occurred on the Eastern Front. The forward of the Qi army has already reached the border line of the Yan State. As expected by the Qin military. The local troops of the Yan army began to flee in large numbers before they could make contact. Their weapons are not at all as powerful as the Qi army.

A flag of the Yan Kingdom was thrown down from a ruined county town in the Yan Kingdom. It was replaced with the battle flag of the Qi army and the banner of the cavalry unit.

"Come with me into the city." A Qi cavalry officer shouted loudly.

"Rush." The Qi cavalry rushed into the city quickly, and with the entry of the Qi army, it marked the fall of the county. And this county seat of Yan took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender before officially entering the city. The local governor knew very well that the ruined city could not withstand the attacks of explosives and shells. Rather than being innocently harmed, it is better to surrender on your own initiative. And the local garrison didn't even have the intention of fighting, so they all ran away.

The main force of the Yan army has become an empty shell. On the surface, there are only 30,000 people, but in reality there are only more than 5,000 people, and these 5,000 people can't even shoot guns. It's even more impossible to go to war.

And the local army is even more so, such as this small county town that has just surrendered, and the local garrison even has bows and arrows in its weapons. Some soldiers still use bronze gee and halberds as weapons. And some of the private armies are already equipped with machine guns. In particular, the Qi army has achieved the rhythm of fully replacing firearms. And the Yan army even used cold weapons. This difference in weapons directly affects the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides. Needless to say, surrendering and fleeing is very wise.

And from the border to the capital of Yan, such equipment is everywhere, and it is impossible to form combat effectiveness at all.

However, the Yan Kingdom is very special in Liaodong, where there are mountain people in the north. These mountain people are fierce. Even the best-equipped Qin army could only fight a draw with their opponents in the mountains. And the eastern and southern parts of Liaodong are Korea. These Koreans formed a number of small states that began to migrate south from today's Changbai Mountain to live on the Korean Peninsula. The reason for this is because, in Liaodong. The Yan civil armed organization and the Qin mercenaries worked together. Constantly attacking it. Constant harassment of his life.

This harassment is catastrophic. Large numbers of people were taken as slaves. Some of the old, weak, sick and disabled were killed directly, and their belongings were looted as booty. This harassment has cut off signs of human activity in the region at its root. These militants would then establish a base of activity in the settlement. And then it expands in all directions. And the north had a great demand for slaves. This demand has led to the persistence of such war harassment.

It is precisely in this way that the Koreans in the east and south form some small states. These small states fought against the constant harassment of armed groups by forming the state of Korea, which also had a confederation system. That is, the meaning of the Commonwealth of Nations. The leader of the alliance is held in turn. The current stable settlement of such a country is on the south bank of the Yalu River today. They wanted the river to be used as a line of defense against militant groups.

This kind of attack has tempered the armed forces of the Yan people. They are good at sneak attacks, reconnaissance, and mountain warfare. This is the current reserve combat force of the Yan State. But against this force. No one in the Qin State or the Yan State noticed it. But another country knew about it. This country is the country of Qi.

United Korea, as Sang-wen called it in a later statement. The United Korean State believes that it cannot sit idly by. They believe that the greatest threat to their country is the constant harassment from the North. This harassment was catastrophic, as the United Korean State lost a lot of people. The United Korean State is a lightly agrarian country, and this country can grow certain crops, such as millet from the Central Plains. But there is no technology to grow wheat. The rest live on hunting. Also knew how to smelt bronze in terms of technology.

But these are very backward for countries that can keep shooting with guns. Plus the stimulus of the slave trade. This kind of encroachment has given the United Korea a great sense of crisis.

To this end, United Korea began to actively seek foreign aid. They arrived in today's Qi country by sea and by boat, and they are constantly communicating with the fishermen of Qi country. They finally knew that the Qi State was at war with their enemies. Moreover, the enemy cannot defeat the country. After getting the news. United Korea sent a special diplomatic mission to the country of Qi.
