Inside the War Department of the Qin State.

"At present, the Qin State Army has about 270,000 people, with a full strength of four divisions, twelve brigades, and about 21 regiments of independent formation." A lieutenant colonel reported with a report.

"Among these establishments, there are also a considerable number of third-rate troops, and their regimental level has only more than 1,000 people, and only a small number of Qin army officers and non-commissioned officers, who can only maintain local law and order, and cannot be used for combat operations." The lieutenant colonel continued.

"Let's put it this way. A considerable part of our Qin Army personnel are going to be abolished? Wei Yu asked Bai Dong.

"Yes, the Army is too big for the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the Space Army. It accounted for a considerable amount of the total strength of the Qin army. This was not conducive to the development of the Qin Army, nor was it conducive to the overall development of the Qin Army. So, we plan to reduce the main military forces, and we plan to reduce about 100,000 people. More is likely to be expected in the future. Bai Dong said.

"Oh." Wei Yi felt that Bai Dong's idea was too bold. Because no one dared to do this, it almost offended the army generals. Although Wei Yi supported military reform, such a large-scale military reduction was the first of its kind in the Qin Army.

"Do you have a plan for the personnel to be abolished?" Wei Yu asked.

"Well, not yet, you know, we still have a lot of conflicts, and a lot of people are not in favor of the reduction of the Army, they think that the current size of the Army is already very small. It was difficult for them to integrate the national defense problems of the Qin state as a whole. If that's the case, it's going to be pretty bad. Bai Dong said.

This is a fact, the Qin army cannot simply weaken its own military strength, and at the same time, he must also take into account the fact that the security of the Western Regions, the security of the north, and all the security issues around the Qin army.

"It's a big problem." That's just what Wei Yu said. He knew the situation of the Qin army, with the change of the peaceful environment, the Qin army actually did not need too many troops to maintain the current advantage, if such an advantage was maintained for a long time, the high military expenditure would cause great pressure on the economy of the Qin State, and the Prime Minister's Mansion had been balancing this issue.

"So, how should the security problems around the Qin State, especially the defense issues of the Yueshi and Dawan sides, be solved? You must know that too much weakening of the Qin Army's strength will lead to a shortage of troops, how to solve those defense problems? Wei Yu asked.

"I think that these defense issues should be handed over to the local government, or help them form the corresponding army, if they can take care of the defense themselves, this is the best thing, if not, our Qin army can be located in the rear, relying on the railway network we built later, and other developed transportation roads to complete the projection of troops, in this way, our Qin army can avoid large-scale battles, military spending remains high. The Prime Minister's Office is also very worried, in this way, we can use military expenses to build a large number of civilian and military dual-use facilities, which is the establishment of facilities, which can effectively help us solve many problems. Bai Dong said.

"As for our Qin army, we can use the saved military funds to improve the mobility of our Qin army, as well as firepower problems, and at the same time, we can use some military trade to improve our control over various regions." Bai Dong said.

"The main purpose of the current government is to develop the economy, not because of a large amount of military spending to make economic construction in a state of stagnation, the Western Regions, the Qin State has been taken down for a long time, but the local economic development is still very backward, and the northern problems of the Qin State, they are still backward, they can only rely on traditional animal husbandry, agriculture, and some mining to develop. This is quite fatal for the development of the Qin State, and at this point, I believe that the Prime Minister's Mansion absolutely does not want to see such a thing happen. Therefore, it is necessary for our army to carry out reforms. Bai Dong said.

"Hmm. It's just a matter of guessing 100,000 people, and it's very difficult to settle these 100,000 people. I think the Prime Minister's Mansion will have such a big trouble. Wei Yi said worriedly.

"Nope. I don't think there is a problem, if the economy grows fast, people are needed everywhere, and although there are still a few ethnic problems among them, these ethnic problems are not a problem under the rapid economic development, because everyone needs jobs. They can do a lot of things. Bai Dong said confidently. But Wei Yi thinks it's not that simple.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shang Wen and Meng Yi were also discussing the same issue.

"If the army dismisses 100,000 people, we will come according to half to half, half of them are native soldiers of the Qin State, they have good learning ability, and they have good discipline, they can arrange some factories, and there are also very large factories in the local area to build. The other half are ethnic minorities, who have a long learning ability, and many times, they themselves do not know what they can do, and a considerable number of them cannot speak the language. We can only arrange for such people to be in the armies of other countries, or to serve as advisers to the armies of other countries as retired personnel, but this will not solve much problem at all. These ethnic minority issues, learning is not a matter of one or two days, they have to consume a lot of financial funds every day of study, and most importantly, many of them have a lot to do with the local tribes. If they retire, it will be a fatal blow to their tribe, and we must fully consider this. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. This is very difficult to solve, they don't understand the language, I can only let them learn the language as much as possible, this is not a thing to do. In addition, I think that we in the Qin State can consider following in the footsteps of the Koreans and establishing some trading points overseas, where they can become armed men to defend their safety and property, I can only say that. Meng Yi said.

"This will not solve most of the problems, and if these military problems cannot be properly solved, this will become the biggest problem." Shang Wen said worriedly. But Shang Wen did not have a good way to solve the problem of the retirement of these minority soldiers, and the Qin State gathered too many soldiers, and they kept entering the Qin army. But if you want to quit now, this problem will be very great. Shangwen must properly address this issue. But Shang Wen currently has no good way to solve such a problem, their learning ability is very poor, and the workers are not necessarily the best workers, they are just the best fighters. Single warrior.
