2430 Transport Dilemma
Xianyang, Qin State. . .
"I didn't expect that the people of the Yue Clan would do this." Shang Wenbao said later.
"Things have far exceeded our expectations, and we thought we would just be able to take over the area. But I didn't expect that it would be such a result. Wei Yu said to Shang Wen.
"I didn't expect that either." Shang Wen said.
"But this thing has already happened. We can't say anything more. Shang Wen controlled his emotions and said. To be honest, Shang Wen was very dissatisfied with such a result, as long as the Qin State accepted it quickly, a protracted war could be avoided, but now such a thing has happened. War is no longer avoidable. The state of Qin needs to face the possible war that will arise next. This is not a very beneficial thing for the Qin State.
"Things have happened, and what we have to do now is to face two wars. Moreover, I personally believe that in the mountainous areas actually controlled by the Yueshi people, the degree of difficulty is greater, and the state of war preparations there is really not optimistic. Shang Wen shook his head and said.
"That's true, the cable line with the Yueshi people is not assumed to be good, let alone the state of the railway there." Wei Yu said to Shang Wen.
"As a result, we have to carry out two logistical replenishments at the same time, which is very stressful for us." Wei Yi said worriedly.
"That's true, we can't reduce military spending at all, my method is that I can only solve the matter of Dawan in the Western Regions as quickly as possible, Meng Yi's idea is to fight quickly, and the nobles of Dawan ask us to quell their riots. This gives us a reason to send troops. Shang Wen said.
"Regarding the suppression of the riot this time, I personally believe that Meng Yi's strategy is correct." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. As long as we send cavalry units, it's fine. This way they can be faster, they have a bunch of hand cannons, I think they can use it, and light artillery can also use it, so that they can reduce their weight and rely less on logistics supplies. Wei Yu said.
"At the same time, it can also be done in a fast way to fight and get out, but it's hard to say it from Wang Ben. We need mountain combat units, and the logistical supply task is huge. Wei Yu said.
"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded.
"If you think of other ways, we can consider other ways to do it." Shang Wen said.
Wei Yu just shook his head.
"The prime minister also knows that the current level of transportation in our Qin State is based on the level of commercial transportation, and the main transportation at present is by railway. Although the locomotive is used in road transportation, the locomotive is mainly a crawler type, which will cause great pressure on the road and have a great destructive force on the road. Moreover, the wear and tear of locomotive parts is also relatively large. Another way is airships, which have limited transport capacity and are very demanding in terms of weather conditions. The area controlled by the Yueshi is mountainous, and if the airship flies in such a place, it will require a lot of control power, so I'm worried. Wei Yu said to Shang Wen.
Shang Wen nodded. When it comes to the transportation industry of Qin, the current exhibition is somewhat single, the main mode of transportation is the railway, a large number of passenger and freight flow is completed by the railway, and the main force of road transportation is still the four-wheeled carriage. Although locomotives have been introduced, they have not been able to further popularize locomotives due to tires. The locomotive needed rubber, and the Ming family of the Qin State came up with many methods, such as using sponges, a chemical synthesis, but it was expensive and could only be used on some private vehicles, such as the car of King Qin, and the car of Shang Wen, most of the cars used a kind of glue, which was not resistant to wear. After a hundred miles, the wear rate began to decline rapidly. The state of Qin needed a completely new kind of tire. But because of the tires. The Qin State was unable to further popularize locomotives, and the use of locomotives was mainly focused on engineering and agriculture. This was a great challenge to the Qin State.
Other transportation, such as air freight. The price of air transportation is higher, and the degree of transportation is half a day faster than that of trains, but in special cases it is far less than railway transportation, or in other words, the stability is not as good as railway transportation. However, as a sightseeing tour, taking an airship is a good option, and the middle class of the Qin State can do this.
As for sea transportation, the Qin State did not have such transport vessels. Most of the current logistics and transportation of the Qin State is based on such a foundation, and the Qin army has become more and more dependent on logistics with the upgrading of combat weapons, such as the consumption of combat ammunition is an alarming number. In the entire Liaodong operation, the Qin army consumed about more than two million metal fixed ammunition. Paper shell ammunition cannot be counted. Because these are all shipped to deal with goods, Yan Guo also has them. In addition to ammunition, there were various supplies, barbed wire, cable lines, as well as equipment for road construction, iron beams used in bridges. As a result, the pressure on logistics is very high.
But Shangwen has no way to solve such a problem at present, because the exhibition of transportation actually has a lot to do with the exhibition of economic demand.
For example, why the railway exhibition is faster than the locomotive exhibition, this is because the economy of each country has a particularly large demand for long-distance transportation, and the demand for trains with a large transportation volume is particularly large, so the railway exhibition of various countries is faster, and for the short-distance transportation exhibition, because there are only a few large cities in various countries, the railway can meet the railway transportation between these large cities, so they can do this. For short distances, because there is not much economic value to open, it is directly ignored. In other words, they directly and still use cheap carriages for transportation, which explains why in the Liaodong Campaign, long-distance transportation, the Qin side did not have any problems, but in the short-distance transportation was in trouble, the farther away from the railway supply line, the worse the logistical situation.
The dilemma of the transportation industry is here, the current transportation of various countries mainly exhibits long-distance transportation, short-distance transportation has not yet reached a place that must be solved, in fact, this also has a lot to do with the urban group exhibition of various countries. At present, there is only one large city, and there is no small and medium-sized city nearby, except for the Qin State Guanzhong, of course, but the Qin State Guanzhong area cannot reverse the overall weak result of short-distance transportation.
Perhaps only the extension of time can gradually dilute this effect, but at present, this effect is not very optimistic. The main problem is economic expansion. And this time will take at least ten years or more to come to fruition. This made Shang Wen feel a little worried. Or it can only be stimulated by relying solely on military orders.
