2228 Command of the Coalition Army

"This railway, actually. "Zhao Kaizi thought about it and tried to explain the role www.biquge.info and principle of the railway, but he found that it was difficult for him to explain it clearly, so he simply used the meaning he understood.

"What? What is it actually? Qin Wu asked at this time.

"Actually, just like the four-wheeled carriage of the Qin Kingdom, he needs two rails, and the steel rails are laid on the ground. It's not all. Zhao Kaizi said.

"His carriage was different, he needed a train, not on four wheels, but several carriages moving forward together. You can understand it this way. Zhao Kaizi can only say what he can think of.

"Well, in that case, I see." Qin Wu thought for a moment. In his mind, there were many carriages walking on special roads, and he knew that if he did this, he would transport a lot of things, but how to pull such a heavy cart, he really couldn't think of what kind of methods the Qin people would use to solve this problem. But it doesn't matter if you can't think of it. It's not something he can understand.

"Hmm. With railways, many transportation problems can be solved. Zhao Kaizi said.

"For example, the coal that we excavate, they can transport out, but that. It can also bring in a large amount of materials, so to speak, one train transports far more materials than dozens of horse convoys. Zhao Kaizi further said.

"I remember saying something like that in the Qin Kingdom." Zhao Kaizi thought about it and said.

"If you control the railway, you can control the entire trade, and it is not difficult to make money." Zhao Kaizi further said.

"Oh." Qin Wu was shocked.

"In our Qin country, there are many such railway companies, and they are all laying railways on a large scale. We are in Xianyang, which is almost 10,000 miles away from here, but we are very easy to transport materials from Xianyang to here, and after we have the railway. In fact, a lot of our supplies are hoarded in the railway stations in northern Xinjiang, and the train will bring us more supplies here. Zhao Kaizi said.

"My God, if we had a railway, wouldn't all the trade in the entire Dawan Kingdom be monopolized by us?" Qin Wu said in surprise.

"Yes, that is, all monopolies. Trade: All trade is monopolized by us. Zhao Kaizi suddenly realized something. He felt as if a big business had suddenly arrived. It's just that he felt it. But I didn't feel what it was. He still felt a little dazed.

"Zhao Kaizi, my friend." Qin Wu looked at Zhao Kaizi seriously at this time and said.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Kaizi asked.

"My friend, let's build a railroad together, I still have some funds, if I don't have enough I can sell the pasture, and slaves, you tell me how much money is needed. We do the railroad together. What do you think? Qin Wu was moved by the idea that controlling the railway can control the trade, in his opinion, doing one of the trades, although it will bring a lot of profits, but if you do this, it will take a long time, these times, he is a little impatient, if he does a bigger business, such as the railway business, as long as he controls the railway, he can control all the trade, such a thing, he still wants to do.

"This." Zhao Kaizi was a little at a loss, but at this time, he suddenly realized. In my mind just now, I suddenly didn't understand things, such as, what the specific plan was. The solution is the railway. As long as he controls the railway, he can not only control the trade of the entire Dawan country, but also control the outflow of resources here. With such a two-way transportation, he can make a lot of money, and the amount of funds will continue to double.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Qin Wu asked a little anxiously.

"No, it's nothing, I just thought of something." Zhao Kaizi came to his senses.

"My friend, how about my proposal? We're split fifty-fifty. I'll make it easy for you. Qin Wu said anxiously at this time.

"Good. Good. I promise you, but this railway project will cost a lot of money, and it will probably take a lot of money. Zhao Kaizi said worriedly at this time.

"Okay, I know, I'm ready. We can get started. Qin Wu said excitedly.

"This scale of funds requires at least two million gold in our Qin State, that is, at least about 500,000 gold coins." Zhao Kaizi said.

"Oh my God." Qin Wu was a little embarrassed at this time. He didn't expect it. It would take so much money, such a large amount of money far exceeded Qin Wu's ability to bear, and all his funds added up could only solve about a hundred thousand gold coins, which was almost all his assets.

"I know, it's a bit difficult. But the cost of the railway is simply too great. In our Qin country, we need a lot of partners to start construction, otherwise, it will be difficult for them to do this. Zhao Kaizi further said.

"Hmm. Don't worry, I'll figure out how to fix this stuff. Qin Wu said solemnly. In order to get more trade rights, he had to take out all his assets to make a project like the railway, because controlling the railway would control Qin's trade rights to Dawan. It's a great deal.

"Wait, don't worry, actually, we still have a lot of ways to solve this problem." Zhao Kaizi said with a smile at this time.

"What else can we do to solve this problem?" Qin Wu shook his head and said. He already felt anxious and couldn't bear the funds needed for the railway. At this time, Zhao Kaizi even said that there was a solution.

"Bank, you know?" At this time, Zhao Kaizi said.

"Banks, there are many banks in Qin, and the scale of funds in their hands exceeds tens of millions of gold, and even more than hundreds of millions of gold, we can mortgage our shares to them, or attract them to invest, in this way, the problem of funds will be solved." Zhao Kaizi said.

Qin Wu looked at Zhao Kaizi in shock, he didn't expect that there was such a thing in Qin State, he didn't know what the bank was, but he knew that Qin State was too rich. With such a large amount of funds, it is easy and easy to solve their financial problems, which is really shocking to him.

"I can go to the bank and give it a try, and if the plan is good, I think, the bank will give us investment and mortgage, which is a very good thing for us." Zhao Kaizi said.

"This, can I go to Qin Kingdom together to have a look?" Qin Wu asked in a low voice at this time.

"What?" Zhao Kaizi asked.

"I hope to be able to go to Qin State with you to have a look, to see that bank, how much money this bank has." Qin Wu plucked up his courage and said.

"Okay. Let's give it a try, maybe we have to run a lot of banks. Zhao Kaizi thought about it and said.

"But we first have to set up a railway trading company, only then can we have a share pledge and get more financial support." Zhao Kaizi thought about it and said.

Xianyang, Qin State, General Staff. Inside the War Hall.

"The situation in Liaodong is very unfavorable to us, even if the marines are elite and their combat effectiveness is very strong, but our Qin army relies on logistics supplies very seriously, and if there is no logistics supply support, it will be difficult for our marines to sustain the operation for a long time." Colonel Staff Officer Bai Qi said. He is the Deputy Director of the Office of Operations. It is mainly responsible for pointing out possible problems in combat in a timely manner.

"Sir, is there any follow-up force support?" Meng Hang, a lieutenant colonel staff officer on the side, asked.

"Yes, there is a certain amount of support from the Sky Army, the Sky Army is responsible for reconnaissance, and our Army Aviation will also send a certain number of air machine gun airships to provide some fire support." Bai Qi said.

"Oh. In this way, we can also hold on to some support. Meng Hang said optimistically.

"No, although the airship has been in the air for a long time, we cannot provide fire support in special weather. In addition, the ammunition carried by our airships is very limited, and if the Goguryeo people besiege it for a long time, I am afraid that the marines will still not be able to defend it. Bai Qi said worriedly.

"Sir, it seems that we still need the railway to be completed as soon as possible, even if it is advanced to a position a hundred miles away from Xiangping City, it is also very beneficial to us." Meng Hang said.

"It's useless." Bai Qi said.

"We can't hold out too much hope for the construction of the railway, otherwise, the greater our hope, the greater the disappointment, which is absolutely very unfavorable to us, and our staff should think of other ways to solve this problem, solve this problem." Bai Qi looked at the sand table and said.

"Sir, I have a solution, but some may not be possible." At this moment, Meng Gao, a major staff officer standing in a corner, said. He had just come to work in the General Staff, and he was supposed to work in the Divisional General Staff, but because of his outstanding ability, he was transferred to the War Office to work.

"What's the solution?" Bai Qi asked curiously at this time.

"We can mobilize the South Korean Navy, and the South Korean Marine Corps will go north and cut off the retreat of the Goguryeo people from behind through sea landing operations, even if we deploy an engineering unit, it will be of great help to us." Mongo said with a smile. He thought that he had seen this idea from the sand table, and in his opinion, the undefended sea was his breakthrough, and it was very suitable for landing operations and projecting troops by sea.

"However, we also have to pay attention. Most of the main forces of South Korea are under Jimo City, and they cannot be withdrawn. In this way, the South Korean side does not agree to do this at all, not only that, but they also have more material deliveries, and it is impossible for the South Korean side to agree to such a thing. Meng Hang shook his head and said. In his opinion, the idea is not good. And unrealistic.

"Sir, sea transportation is very convenient, otherwise South Korea would not have developed a navy, and the sea potential is huge, which the prime minister has noticed." Mongo said.

"It's impossible, you know, if South Korea doesn't have the main force to send the battle, this kind of operation will simply not be able to continue." Meng Hang continued.

"Nothing is impossible." Bai Qi said at this time.

"If we can help the South Korean side solve their difficulties, I don't think the problem is very big." Bai Qi said at this time.

"In this way, the South Korean side will be able to mobilize more troops to be sent to the Liaodong battlefield, and our backup problem will be solved. As for the reinforcements sent by Zhao State, they may be in the second echelon. In this way, as long as we hold back the Goguryeo, everything will be fine. Bai Qi thought for a moment and said. He thought that Meng Gao's idea was very bold and in line with the operational requirements of the Qin State, which was very beneficial to the Qin State.

"I have to say, you, a young man, have a very bold idea, and this idea still needs to be communicated." Bai Qi said.

"Submit this plan to the Chief of Staff and let them decide." Bai Qi said.

"Yes, sir." The crowd said. Meng Gao just smiled. Meng Hang didn't have any expression.

The proposal was soon sent from Qin to Korea. South Korea's Sinzheng side has to make a decision on this.

"What do you think of our battle under Jimo City?" Han Shu found Zhang Liang and asked such a question directly.

"Back to the king, the stalemate situation is very unfavorable to us." Zhang Liang replied.

"Let's withdraw the army, withdraw a part of it, as long as we defend Jimo City, what do you think?" Han Shu said at this time.

"Your Majesty, isn't it too risky to do this?" At this time, Zhang Liang asked worriedly.

"Hmm. I also thought so, but if you look at the proposal of the Qin General Staff, I think this proposal is feasible. At this time, Han Shu said. Saying that, Han Shu handed the telegram sent by the Qin State Staff to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang quickly looked at it, only looking.

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Liang looked at Han Shu after reading it.

"I think we should withdraw our troops, that is, the battle under the city of Mo has become a stalemate, and there is no way to change much, and besides, we have a cavalry unit that is consumed there, and it is difficult for them to make a difference. It is better to put it on the battlefield in Liaodong, and at the same time, the people of Qin will help us with some weapons and ammunition, such as mortars, which can cause a certain pressure on the Chu army, and I think the problem can be solved. Han Shu said.

"Hmm." Zhang Liang nodded.

"Moreover, if it is put on Liaodong, it can also have a great influence on our South Korea in Yan and Liaodong, which is very beneficial to us." Han Shu analyzed.

"So, I think, it's something we need to do." Han Shu said.

"Your Majesty, the minister understands. However, the minister believed that some other important weapons should be obtained from the Qin state, such as new weapons in technology. Zhang Liang said at this time.

"What weapon? Let's talk about it. Han Shu asked. Han Shu asked curiously, because Zhang Lianglai was responsible for the specific weapon production and research work.

"Rockets, the rocket technology of the Qin State. We need this kind of technology, although we have also imitated it, but the effect is not very good, and the number is very rare, we need the Qin side to provide such rocket technical support, with such a weapon, it is very important to us. Zhang Liang said.

"Hmm." Han Shu nodded.

"Do you think the people of the Qin State will agree?" Han Shu asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Liang didn't answer confidently.

"Well, since the prime minister is so unconfident, but we can give it a try, maybe, the people of the Qin State will do the same in such a situation." Han Shu thought about it and said. In Han Shu's opinion, the Qin State needs the presence of Koreans, and in such a situation, they will still consider it for us.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"This is the latest plan given by the General Staff." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"I guess the South Korean side has received the latest situation." Meng Yi said.

"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded.

"This plan is very good, but in this way, the countries participating in Liaodong will suddenly become four." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Qin, Zhao, Yan, and now South Korea is also involved, and South Korea is still fighting on two fronts, and they are still dealing with the confrontation of the Chu army." Shang Wen said.

"So it's a very interesting situation." Shang Wen said.

"It seems that the situation in Liaodong is more complicated than we imagined, at least there are more and more countries involved, and if possible, Qi may also participate, so it will be very interesting for our situation." Meng Yi said.

"Hmm. The war is getting bigger and bigger, and it has far exceeded our expectations. Shang Wen said.

"It seems that our Prime Minister's Office wants to organize the participation of the four countries, at least to form a unified coalition. to work together against the Goguryeo people. Shang Wen thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm. I also felt compelled to do so. Otherwise, South Korea would not be able to get involved. Meng Yi said.

"Nope. South Korea will definitely get involved, you know. Coastal trade, including Liaodong. They can participate in the situation in Liaodong. It was necessary for them to send troops. It would be a huge loss for South Korea to miss such an opportunity, and I don't think South Korea will give up such an opportunity. Shang Wen said.

"Send a telegram, we need to discuss this matter in detail with the other three countries, and we also need to report it to the Chief of Staff so that they understand our intentions." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm." Meng Yi nodded.

Staff.

"We really didn't expect to bring South Korea in. That Meng Gao staff officer really had an idea. Yang Duanhe said to Wang Qian.

"Hmm. I also think that such an idea is very meaningful, and the Goguryeo people will definitely not think of it. And the army will come up from the sea. Wang Jian said.

"However, I think there are too many troops participating this time. Qin is also involved, Zhao is also involved, Yan is also involved, and now South Korea is also involved. There are more and more countries, and there are more and more armies, so I thought, should we have a unified command to command this operation? Yang Duanhe asked, Wang Qian.

"Hmm. You're right, and I think so too. Wang Jian said.

"But in this case, it will be up to us to see what the prime minister thinks. You must know that joint command, such a thing, has also appeared in the armies of the six countries before. This kind of thing has never happened to Qin Jun. And the armament has also changed a lot. Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe.

"Hmm. The forms of warfare were also varied, and great wars were organized in such a short period of time. It is true that it has never been before. Yang Duanhe said.

Report. Sir. Mongo shouted loudly.

"Come in." Yang Duanhe shouted. Mongau came in.

"Sir, this is the latest report from the Prime Minister's Office." As he spoke, Meng Gao put an updated report on Wang Qian's desk.

"Hmm." Wang Jian nodded. It means that Meng Gao can go down. He saluted, and went down.

"Is this the Mongo?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes." Yang Duanhe nodded. Indicates yes.

After Mont Gao went down. Wang Jian just spoke.

"This young man is good." Wang Jian then said.

"Look at what our prime minister thinks. Qin, Zhao, Yan, Han, and the four kingdoms were to form a coalition army. Fight together against the Goguryeo attack. Wang Jian said.

"However, there is still a lack of unified command among the armies of the four countries, so we need to set up a joint command center, and the unified command of the armies will be born in the armies of our four countries." Wang Jian said.

"Isn't that the same as what we just thought?" Yang Duanhe said at this time.

"Yes." Wang Jian nodded.

"That way, our things will be settled easily." Wang Jian said.

"It's just, who owns this command?" Yang Duanhe asked.

"Of course, let's make us, the people of Qin should be the leader." Wang Jian said.

"The Qin State has played a great role in connecting the four countries, and the understanding of each country cannot be as good as the Qin State, and the troops that our Qin State can mobilize, and the material capacity far exceeds that of the countries. I believe that there is no reason for States to refuse to do so. Wang Jian analyzed.

"Hmm. You're right. Hopefully they won't have such a wrong idea. Yang Duanhe said.

Zhao Guo Handan. Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"This is the latest telegram from the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Qin State. Prime minister. Li Zuoche handed the telegram to Li Mu.

Li Mu quickly opened it, looked at it, and then handed it to Li Zuoche.

"We agree with the Qin people." Li Mu said to Li Zuoche.

"This." Li Zuoche had just read the telegram.

"Prime Minister, won't we fight for it in Zhao Kingdom?" Li Zuoche asked. Because such a decision was made too quickly.

"How can we fight for Zhao Kingdom?" Li Mu asked rhetorically.

"This." Li Zuoche didn't know how to answer.

"The Qin State can mobilize more materials and mobilize more troops to participate, and without the Qin State as an intermediary, we will not be able to command those people at all. Only the people of Qin know how to balance the interests of various countries, and this is the reason why the people of Qin must grasp the command of the coalition forces. Li Mu said.

"And we, Zhao Guo, have nothing. Under such circumstances, we simply cannot compete with the Qin army. Therefore, we might as well give such an opportunity to the people of the Qin State, and maybe, our Zhao State can get more benefits. Li Mu said to Li Zuoche with a smile.

"Don't worry, we have a chance." Li Mu patted Li Zuoche's shoulder and said.
