2677 Expiration Thoughts

Xianyang, Qin State. War Department.

"The Qin army can only retain the combat establishment of four infantry divisions at most, and the rest can set up some independent cavalry and infantry brigades, in addition, we also have a weapon to pay attention to." Bai Dong said. An officer looked at Bai Dong.

"That is, armored fighting vehicles." Bai Dong said.

"Sir, this, armored fighting vehicles are really stupid. And the firepower is only capable of dealing with ordinary infantry, as long as the artillery is fired directly. The armored fighting vehicle will be completely destroyed. Add to that the deterioration of the logistical supply situation, I thought. An officer suggested.

"Nope. The prospects for armored fighting vehicles are far more useful than the current Qin army, which is equipped with a large number of cavalry units. You can think about what kind of opponents the Qin army's cavalry troops are dealing with, they are the rest cavalry, the Yue's people, and the people of the Western Regions, and they themselves don't have much firepower to strike. Bai Dong said.

"Our opponent is weak, but if we look at the armies of the six Kwantung countries, we will understand that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is gradually becoming weaker. This is a very dangerous thing, the armies of the six Kwantung countries are speeding up the replacement of their weapons, their flintlock pistols have become rifled guns, and the range has increased a lot. Not only that, but some high-power gunpowder research has also entered the project, and in some places, some guns of our Qin State can be imitated by manual imitation. And if the machine gun is also imitated, the impact of the cavalry is of no use at all, and in the face of such an establishment, there is really no need for our Qin State to make reservations. Bai Dong said.

"On the contrary, the use of some new technologies is also changing the way we fight, for example, armored fighting vehicles, combat vehicle units are certainly inferior to cavalry units, but if we combine engines, armor, and weapons, we have armored combat vehicle units, they have effective defense forces, can resist the invasion of bullets, although some motor vehicle performance is insufficient, but technology can be developed, if we can have great results in technology, I think, the problem will not be very big." Bai Dong said. Bai Dong is an officer with great insight, and he realized early on the huge military changes brought about by technology, and the current combat capability of the Qin army is indeed very extraordinary. But it has also exposed many problems, such as the heavy reliance on logistics, and the overall decline in the combat effectiveness of the army because of the inclusion of a large number of ethnic minorities. The technical equipment of the army has not been upgraded for a long period of time, which requires Bai Dong to make huge reform changes, this reform change is to upgrade the Qin army, first reduce the number of the Qin army, so that the Qin army can be lowered to a base that can retain the main combat capability, and the remaining cost can be equipped with some technology, as well as weapons with higher combat effectiveness. That's it, armored combat vehicles. In addition, Bai Dong thought about expanding the army aviation of the Qin State, at least the army aviation has the ability to transport soldiers, weapons and equipment, and logistics materials, and in addition, it can undertake a certain ability to hit ground targets.

Bai Dong's ideas were very advanced, it can be said that he effectively predicted the defense line of future operations, and the development direction of the Qin army was right. However, the problem is that Bai Dong's ideas are very advanced, and they are a little bold.

South Korea, Sinjeong, Admiralty.

"The Qin Navy is already willing to increase the power of the steam engine, in addition to the propeller, sealing technology, and transmission to increase cooperation, which is a great advance for our South Korean Navy to build fast ship projects, I think, it will not be long before the speed of our ships can be greatly accelerated." A South Korean Navy Department official excitedly reported the good news.

"Hmm. In that case, it would be great. This project will be launched as soon as possible, and I will tilt more funds to you. The other thing is to find some qualified shipbuilders, we need them to be involved, this technology is very important to us, we need them to complete it as soon as possible. The Secretary of the Navy said with a smile.

"Still, sir. This requires a few things that need our attention. That is, our domestic processing technology is still relatively backward, that is, after we introduce these technologies, the country can not be delivered, and finally we still need to introduce relevant technologies from Qin, which is very restrictive to us, which we need to properly solve, otherwise, the situation is very unfavorable to us. The official said.

"That's right, we have to pay attention to that. It's just that we don't have a good way to solve such a thing at the moment, so let's disassemble the project, separate it, and hand it over to those factories to process and technology, and I think they will realize it themselves. The Secretary of the Navy said.

The South Korean Royal Navy, which does not have its own naval shipyards, has only conversion factories, which are used to modify military ships launched from civilian shipyards, and then retrofit weapons at the conversion yards to form a naval military force. This is how the ROK Navy expands its military strength, and the advantage of this is that it can effectively drive the civilian forces to join the construction of the ROK Navy, and the ROK Navy can mobilize the largest resources of the Korean civilian sector to expand its own naval strength, but the disadvantage is that if the civilian shipbuilding technology cannot advance, they will not be able to obtain greater naval supplements. However, this move is an important way to effectively stimulate South Korea's economic development.

The ROK Navy is taking a dual-use path, which can effectively promote the development of the ROK economy and navy, and this is an extremely prudent policy.

However, while the Admiralty is worried, shipyards are also actively trying to find ways to maximize the profits of their ships.

"Everyone thinks about it, is there a way to expand the interests of our shipyards." Tian Daqing, director of Feilong Shipyard, said.

"As you know, at the moment our shipyards can build more ships, but the funding problem has been lacking, it is difficult for us to make the most profit on shipbuilding, although we have a lot of ships to charter, but the profits have decreased a lot, not only that, but there are many unsatisfactory places, I think, it will not be long before our situation will be very bad. In order to change such a situation, everyone thinks about whether there is any way to increase the profits of our ships. Tian Daqing said.

"This." Most of them are craftsmen, and they really don't know much about how to run a business, and in their opinion, as long as they can make money, they can build more ships. But how to make the ship make more money, they are not very clear. After all, that's not what they do.
