"Zhao Guo can, so can we." Chen Ping suggested to Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng thought about it, Chen Ping's suggestion was indeed feasible. But can this alone spur trade? Fan Zeng still has no bottom in his heart. But Chen Ping knew very well that in the state of Chu, a piece of silk cloth was not worth much. But to send it to Bangladesh in exchange for gold, which is absolutely violent, and because of the hot weather, they have a special love for silk, and in other places they will definitely like such things. This kind of stuff can bring great value.
Goguryeo, the defensive position of the 7th Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division. Li Dao's soldiers had retreated, but their casualties were heavy.
"Sir, there are thirty-six of us. Two of them were seriously injured. I'm afraid they won't be cured. Li Mu came over and said to Li Dao.
"Damn." Li Dao nodded and said.
"We still have to defend this place now, I'm afraid, we can't complete such a mission." Li Mu said worriedly. After they retreated, they received orders from the regimental headquarters to defend the southern flank of the regimental headquarters, which was relatively open, and if the enemy attacked, they would be directly hit by direct fire.
"I don't think the damn Southerners are coming, it's so open, I think the top up knows what we're up there to do, so they're not going to attack from here. Still, be prepared. Prepare all the grenades, and if we charge, none of us will be able to stop the attack. Li Dao said worriedly.
"It would be nice if the supplies we were able to send us barbed wire. Even the flares that the Qin people said would give us some. Those damned southerners will attack from the night, and we are not suitable for night battles at all, and it is really weird that the Qi people teach them how to fight. We simply can't accept it. Li Mu said.
The Qi people seem to have changed the tactics of the southerners, who live in the mountains and rely on digging wild ginseng in exchange for some daily necessities, or hunting, their arrows are good, but they cannot penetrate the armor, and the powerful muskets are more threatening to their death. Although muskets do not have the same range as bows and arrows, they are the most effective weapons in warfare, and they can be easily equipped on a large scale. The southerners according to their hunting habits. They fought in groups of three or five, and the most troublesome thing in night combat was the chain of command, but the self-invention of the southerners solved this problem, and a whistle made of wooden branches became their biggest reliance. When the night battle broke out, they used the whistle to direct the battle, and how to do it, Li Mu and the others did not know at all, they could not capture the other party's prisoners, but they were sure that this way of fighting was a huge threat.
"The crux of the matter is logistical resupply. Our food can still be guaranteed, but the use of it cannot be guaranteed, we can only watch. Damn it. Captain Li Dao said. The position occupied by the 7th Regiment was a fine natural harbor, but the Goguryeo people did not have ships, their ships were very problematic, and they did not have much money to buy good ships, and the broken fishing boats were no longer usable after some transportation of troops. There is a great risk that the ships that can still be used will sink to the bottom of the sea without knowing when. This made the supply situation of the Goguryeo people transported very poor.
Goguryeo. Inside the Northern Command. Hawke was anxiously contacting South Korea and Chu, thinking that these two countries could build ships, and they needed some new ships to get involved and strengthen their supply missions. On the other hand, he was negotiating some content with the Yan people, mainly how to lease Jinshan to the Yan people. The Yan people could mine and get a lot of gold, while they could get enough money to buy ships, and the war had put Goguryeo on the verge of bankruptcy. Hawke feared that if this continued, the situation in Goguryeo would be very bad, because they were already heavily indebted. And the war went unusually well. Hawke was worried. But the war went on.
"Sir. The state of Chu replied that they may not be able to meet our needs because some of our conditions are not very good. They need a large amount of gold to pay before they can trade. The communications staff officer said.
"Damn it. Check with the Koreans, they have plenty of ships and can fly to us. Hawke said.
Hawke was very anxious. It's all because of the war.
Further north, Newton was discussing something with his chief of staff, who was now a brigadier general and would have to have military merit if he wanted to be promoted to general, but their forces were already expanding. Training is also being intensified.
"I heard about the reform of the War Department, which may require the elimination of quite a few people, and the Army is only guaranteed to have four divisions. The rest are all combat brigades, and the situation of our cavalry units may not be very good. The chief of staff said to Newton. The two have a good relationship in private, and the chief of staff is a native of Qin, called Bai Shen.
"The army should emphasize firepower and mobility, however, we are a cavalry unit, and it is unlikely that the Qin army will supply too many cavalry. And the area where the cavalry will fight will also be very limited, and they plan to use armored fighting vehicles, which I heard from the General Staff and the War Department. Bai Ginseng said worriedly.
"Armored fighting vehicles?" Newton said in surprise.
"Yes, this requires the technical performance of the soldiers to be very high, and many of our subordinates have just learned the Qin dialect, so there is no need to talk about the words. It's very difficult to teach them, and it's hard for me to imagine that the military won't get rid of them. Bai Ginseng said worriedly.
"Hmm." Newton didn't have a bottom in his heart, he knew that the reason why he was able to get to this position was completely military merit, but the system of the Qin army was very strict, and the special equipment was the channel for promotion, and he still needed to learn some knowledge, which he couldn't understand at all, although he studied hard to master, but there were still many things he didn't understand, which was too difficult.
"We, what should we do?" Newton asked worriedly.
"Hmm. This also depends on how the Ministry of War reforms, the specific situation has not yet come out, and the Prime Minister's Office is also discussing this matter, what I know is that this matter is difficult to deal with, you know, there are a large number of ethnic minorities in the Qin army. If solving their problems is the key, if they are directly decommissioned, it will cause a lot of chaos. White ginseng said.
