Shang Wen really had a headache about the navy, because there were too many difficulties in the development of the navy. This is too difficult for a country that has developed from the northwest and has never seen the ocean. Traditional land warfare still oppresses the navy and makes it difficult to make a difference.

"The Navy is so useless." Feng Quji sighed. And Shang Wen looked at Feng Quji helplessly, it is true, the navy does not even control the Yangtze River now, what is the navy.

"It's useless to talk about it now, we should find a way to solve the crisis that is currently emerging." Wang Jian said calmly.

"That's what the general said." Shang Wen took over the topic and said.

"Is there a way for the general?" Feng Qujian asked.

"I'm afraid there is no other way than to develop the navy." After speaking, Feng Qujian looked at Shang Wen, meaning, isn't Shang Wen cutting military spending? If the Navy is developed, then how can military spending be solved. And Shang Wen is also thinking about this question. This problem is indeed difficult to solve, and there is no other way than to increase taxes. Bonds, there are already too many bonds circulating in the market. Shang Wen did think about the issue of issuing too many banknotes, but at present, he did not know how many banknotes were still missing in the market, and whether there would be such a thing as inflation. Shang Wen has no bottom of anything. After all, he is not in the business of economics.

"I thought it might be an opportunity." Meng Yi said at this time.

"Oh. Let's talk about it. Wang Jian looked at Meng Yi and said.

"When it happened, it happened to be in the control area of the Chu State, and we can take all kinds of means to let the Chu State solve the problem of water piracy by itself. At the same time, we can use the issue of anti-piracy to develop and strengthen our naval forces. Meng Yi said.

"Okay, but where does the strength of our navy come from, and military spending is difficult to solve." Feng went to pour cold water.

"This, I think, isn't the main problem yet. We can build up the navy by building armed merchant ships. As long as we give them the title of temporary reserve ships, they can be included in the armed forces of the Qin State, and besides, the Qin State has always needed the navy to establish its own reserve force. Isn't there such a power now?" Meng Yi asked rhetorically.

Hear that. King Qin nodded naturally. Expressions of approval. And Shang Wen also nodded. This is exactly in line with his own idea of integrating the military with the people. And only in this way can the major problems of the development of the Navy be completely solved. In particular, the issue of the foundation of the Navy. At this point, Meng Yi solved this problem very well.

The Qin State only needs to recruit those armed merchant ships in the name of the military, and these armed merchant ships are the reserve forces of the Qin State to solve this problem. Although it was a premature recruitment of the Qin naval reserve forces. But this can also make up for the major problem of the weak foundation of the Qin navy. There was no commercial basis for the development of the Qin navy, and armed merchant ships were the reserve forces of the Qin navy. In particular, the crew was replenished, the ships were built, the launches were launched. use and so on. All these laid a solid foundation for the development of the Qin navy.

"As for the issue of the navy's ships, I believe that the special bonds issued by the navy at present are sufficient for its use, and moreover, the navy can form a new military force by recruiting, managing, training, and forming them in the name of armed merchant ships." Meng Yi continued.

"In addition, the state of Chu has just ended its war against our country, so it can make good use of the card of diplomacy." Shang Wen added.

"Yes, it's true, there has already been water piracy in Chu State, and water thieves are becoming more and more rampant, which has a lot to do with the Chu army's ineffective suppression of bandits. I think we can take the opportunity to work with the Chu army to suppress the bandits. to achieve our purpose of entering the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Meng Yi said.

King Qin nodded in approval. Wang Jian fell into thought. And Wei Yu looked at the expressions of several people.

Then, the official response came after 8 p.m.

"The Qin government has taken the necessary measures to deal with such incidents with the state of Chu, and everyone must know that a series of agreements have just been signed between Qin and Chu, and the peace between the two sides is not easy to come by, in order not to destroy the peace. We recommend that both parties try to resolve such incidents peacefully. Again, I state one point. A government spokesman swore solemnly.

"The State of Qin is with great sincerity in resolving such incidents." The spokesman said.

"So what are the specific measures?" A reporter asked.

"I'm not done with this. Hear me out. The spokesman said.

"Compared with everyone knowing, there has been a serious problem of water piracy in Chu State before. In addition, it is at war with our Qin State, so the water piracy is becoming more and more rampant, and now it threatens the trade between the merchant ships of the two countries. With such an act of threatening our Qin State, we should assume the due responsibility of the Qin State. ”

"At the same time, taking into account, there are some specific difficulties in the state of Chu. For example, the naval forces of the Chu State are not very sufficient, and we suggest that the two countries jointly crack down on water piracy and jointly maintain the safety of water transportation on the Yangtze River. The spokesman said.

"Excuse me, will the Chu State agree?" A reporter asked.

"Well, we're working on it." The spokesman said.

"Oh. We get it. The reporter said.

Subsequently, reporters expressed their own comments on the matter. However, Qin has already expressed a strong signal that it will participate in the safety of water transportation on the Yangtze River, which may allow the Qin navy to take the initiative to undertake some military tasks. In this regard, all newspapers have put forward developmental expectations.

For such a thing, Qin Guo did think so. The main content of the meeting was also about this as an unfolding. The Qin State planned to rely on reserve forces to win this war against water piracy. At the same time, it strengthened the control of reserve forces, trained and strengthened the Qin navy. Only through non-stop war can the Qin navy be tempered more powerful.

After the news of the navy was published in the Qin State for several days, the naval forces of the Chu State also obtained specific intelligence information. However, Xiang Yan, who is the commander-in-chief of the navy, smiled.

These water thieves have provoked a country that should not be provoked, and there is a good chance that they will use it to attract a tiger. A tiger who wants to develop a water army. This matter is very likely to cause the other party to intervene in the Yangtze River basin of the Chu State.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yan not only shook his head. It's a bit of a trick to do. How shrewd the people of Qin are. They will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to meddle in the waters of Chu State, and use this as an excuse, if that happens, the national security of Chu State is not optimistic.
