What the military-industrial complex wants most is war, especially the longer the war lasts, the better. This is the best opportunity for them to make a fortune. If it weren't for the Qin State restricting the export of military products. Then the military industrial complex of the Qin State very much hopes to be able to blatantly accept military orders from the six countries.

In the face of increasingly clear plans to cut military spending, the military industrial complex naturally could not sit idly by, and they used the pressure of public opinion in the Qin State to force the government to make some revisions and adjustments. In order to facilitate the development of Qin's military industrial enterprises.

"Our military-industrial complex feeds more than 300,000 industrial workers. If the military-industrial complex were to go out of business, 300,000 jobless industrial workers would be displaced to the streets overnight. What's more, these industrial workers will be lost to the Six Kingdoms, and the weapons production of the Six Nations will gradually catch up with the Qin State. At that time, the weapons in the hands of my Great Qin soldiers will no longer be advanced. And the Six Nations will have the same advanced weapons as the Qin State to confront us. This has already endangered the survival of the Qin state. Mainstream newspapers wrote. At the same time, the broadcast also criticized the government's clear military spending cuts. Although the government intends to increase public project spending to make up for it, this cannot absorb the huge impact of military enterprises at once.

Faced with this problem, Shangwen will have to reconsider. Adjust his policy approach.

"I know very well what you said. I also understand that the military-industrial complex is very important to the Qin State. I myself was one of the first to advocate the commercialization of military production. You should trust me. Isn't it? Shang Wen had a telephone conversation with Li You, who is now a representative of Qin's military industry entrepreneurs, on the phone. He will represent the interests of the military-industrial production community of the Qin state, which is a monopoly. Li You is the two military production giants that coexist with Yingyu. The two monopolized more than 80 percent of Qin's military production. Regarding Li You's words, Shang Wen tried his best to comfort him.

"Look, as soon as we cut military spending, these companies will put pressure on us." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng was speechless, just smiled slightly. He also felt that Qin was a very strange country. The country has become a little more innocent. But sometimes the simplicity makes people feel that the country is a tendon.

"It seems. We have to recalibrate the military-industrial complex. We are in a situation where we simply cannot feed so many people. Money is being used everywhere. We borrowed money everywhere. Borrowed this year's, next year's, the year after next. And then all the flowers that stop this year. Our financial situation is quite poor. Shang Wen said.

The old man thinks that it is possible to increase arms exports to the six countries. For example, the original artillery restrictions were relaxed, and some light artillery was exported to the six countries. To know. The need for artillery in the six countries was considerable. Fan Zeng suggested.

Hearing such an argument, Shang Wen immediately shook his head and said.

"It's not going to work. If we export artillery on a large scale, then the armies of the six countries will have a considerable number of artillery pieces to deal with us. I think it's better for us not to touch on that. Shang Wen had another plan in his heart. That is, if a large number of export artillery, especially after the appearance of artillery equipped with hydraulic reentry machines. Then the war will escalate to another level. Is this level going to increase the huge cost of casualties? Shang Wen didn't want to take this responsibility yet.

Shang Wen then vetoed such a proposal. Especially Fan Zeng's incredible proposal.

Fan Zeng naturally knew that Shang Wen would definitely veto it, because Fan Zeng was very good at looking at people. Shang Wen has a kind of kindness in his bones, and this kindness is the simple nature of human nature. I don't know that Shangwen is to maintain national feelings, and such feelings exist. But Fan Zeng believed that Shang Wen would accept such a proposal sooner or later, because the Qin society would accept such a proposal. This proposal is not something that Shang Wen can control. It's like gun smuggling. Although Shang Wen is only the beginning, if it is fundamental, the military production of the Qin State must do that.

"Prime Minister, do you know what crisis there is in the Qin State at present?" Fan Zeng said separately.

"Crisis? What crisis? Shang Wen asked.

"Is Qin's current R&D capacity weakening?" Fan Zeng pointed out clearly.

"Yes. Yes, but this is a problem with the theory of basic research in the Qin state. Shang Wen said.

Fan Zeng shook his head. rejected Shang Wen's view.

"Oh." Shang Wen looked at Fan Zeng suspiciously, not knowing what Fan Zeng meant.

"Dare to ask the prime minister, why do sheep exist?" Fan Zeng asked.

"Sheep. This one. I don't understand what the sir means. Shang Wen really didn't understand what this old man was trying to say.

"There are plants and trees in the world, and if these plants and trees are left unchecked, what will become of this world?" Fan Zeng asked.

"Well, carbon dioxide will be reduced. Then there's the fact that the earth is going to get colder. Shang Wen thought.

Fan Zeng shook his head. There is a two-thousand-year knowledge gap between the two, and the huge generation gap of two thousand years always makes it very difficult for Shangwen and Fan Zeng to communicate. Because Shang Wen's thinking is always put into the present thinking. But Fan Zeng has the ancient wisdom of the East.

"Although the old man didn't understand what the prime minister was talking about. But the old man wants to tell the prime minister a truth, sheep exist to eat grass and trees, so as to restrict grass and trees. And the existence of the wolf is to limit the existence of this sheep. And so on and so forth. Fan Zeng said.

"Oh. Food chain. Shang Wen suddenly realized. It turns out that the old man is talking about the food chain. But what does this have to do with the food chain? Shang Wen was a little puzzled.

Fan Zeng shook his head again.

"What the old man means is that as for what exists, there will be things that move forward. This is the mutual restraint of each other. Fan Zeng said.

"This." Shang Wen felt a little vaguely a hint of meaning. But I don't understand.

"The old man said goodbye." After speaking, Fan Zeng left. Leave Shang Wen alone to think. Shang Wen didn't get up. He was thinking about what Fan Zeng meant.

From a technical point of view. Qin's technological research and development is indeed entering a period of slowdown. It is not the kind of step that develops to the end at a faster and faster pace. This made Shang Wen feel very incomprehensible. From a historical longitudinal perspective. Shang Wen really didn't understand this truth.

That's right. Shang Wen's surprising discovery. In the history of science, especially in modern history, the further back on, the more fierce the competition in military science and technology. That's why, the most important reason is the opponent. The state of Qin is now losing the competitive pressure of its opponents. Because the Qin State no longer has this sense of urgency of pressure. Especially the great sense of superiority that comes with weapons. If it exists for a long time, it will inevitably make the Qin State lose this superiority. Rival. A good opponent.
