"What do you think of the situation on the peninsula?" A staff officer of a major general asked Tian Cai, a staff officer from the General's Mansion, who had come to investigate how the situation on the peninsula was developing.

"My view is that the situation is not good." Colonel Tian Cai said.

"Oh." The staff officer of the major general looked at Tian Cai.

"Our supplies are out of supply. I don't know how long it will take to get it back, but it will take a long time. Tian Cai said.

"The Goguryeo people's defenses in the coastal areas are getting better and better. The tactics we taught the South are no longer useful. The opposing side built a large number of trenches, barbed wire, and used artillery as a point of fire. And the southerners lacked artillery. The tactics of attacking in a sea of people can no longer break through such a defensive system, unless there is heavy artillery. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through their defenses. Tian Cai said.

"What do we do now?" Staff Officer of the Major General asked.

"The only thing we can do is stop the offensive and dig trenches. Build a defensive system, in the north we have an even more troublesome enemy, the mountain people, who penetrate into our rear with extremely savage tactics. They usually carry out large-scale slaughter, and an entire tribe is killed. Tian Cai reported what he saw.

"We can only concentrate and build a stable defensive fortress to defend against the attack. Stabilize the front, the muskets can no longer attack. Again, we lack artillery. Therefore, the only way at present is to concentrate and fight positional warfare. Tian Cai said.

Tian Cai's consideration has his own reasons, the southerners lack a large number of artillery. Their artillery offensive capabilities were insufficient, which directly led to the fact that they could not launch a larger offensive again. In contrast, the Goguryeo people were constantly transporting a large number of artillery. With artillery as a point of fire, the southerners who attacked with stragglers would suffer a lot of losses, which were staggering, and once they were over-consumed, they would create a big hole, so that the Goguryeo would launch a counter-offensive, and once they were broken by the other side, their situation would be very bad. Faced with such a situation, the only way to do it was to dig trenches. In a confrontation, the lack of artillery makes it impossible to form a suppressive opponent, but the artillery of the Goguryeo people cannot attack them, and at the same time, the mountain people in the north are good at jungle warfare, and they are often able to penetrate easily.

If the southerners gather together and concentrate their defenses, then the jungle warfare of the mountain people will be ineffective, and their advantage will be even more obvious. This is Tian Cai's personal opinion.

"Your idea is good. I'll report it to the General's Palace. As for other things, I'll check out the situation here. The logistics and materials will be guaranteed as much as possible. The blockade of the Koreans will not last long. The major general's staff officer said after hearing this.

"Hmm. Good. Tian Cai said.

Qi country, inside the hotel around General Tian Heng's mansion. Two middle-aged colonel officers and a major general sat in the hotel. This is a private room. Because there are often military officers coming and going here, many officers have become frequent visitors here.

"I heard that there is going to be a navy from above. This navy will be the same as the South Korean Navy and the Chu Navy, with fewer people, more ships, and sufficient funds. You say, this navy was not selected from the army? A colonel officer said.

"I'm talking about Brother Tian." The Major General said.

"This navy may be selected from the navy, besides, how can it be our turn to do such a thing, now, there are many combat regiments in the Qi country, and if you transfer some of them, you can become a navy, such a thing is unlikely to become a matter for you and me." The Major General said.

"So, what to do? You are the commander here, and the rank that belongs to you here is the greatest. Another colonel said.

"If you want me to see, let's hurry up and get some money, I think, this army will be dismantled sooner or later, if we leave late, nothing will be good, while we still have some military power, sell some weapons, get some money, we can be a rich man." Major General Book to.

"This. We can do this, and there are not a few people who do this kind of thing. However, we have money, and we don't have much, so we have eaten and drunk a little bit. What will you do in the future? Another colonel said. Their military rank is only colonel, and the military pay is very effective, extra money, just a little, they need a lot more things to become rich.

"Stupid. I have already received the news that our Qi country is going to discuss with the South Korean side about investing in the construction of a shipyard, and we can do these things, that is, the ship is built. We can also use these ships to go to the South Seas, to the Western Ocean, where there are more opportunities to make a fortune. Spend the money little by little. That's the dumbest thing to do. The Major General said after taking a sip of wine.

"This. Can it really work? It is not easy for the brothers to get some belongings, although there are many people who have made a fortune, but we are still afraid that this little capital will be lost. In that case, it's not worth it. Colonel Tian said.

"Well, I'm going to do it anyway, no matter what you guys think. What we need now is a lot of business opportunities. This army, our Qi country has more than 100,000 troops, almost 200,000 troops, this army will never maintain such an army, our brothers can be sailors in the future, don't you read the newspaper? It's all said above. Bangladesh is full of gold, women, if we keep this money, sooner or later we will eat it up and spend it all. But we have done the business of this ship, and I think we will definitely develop. The major general said.

"Well, I did it." The other colonel nodded. Decided to. For him, this must be done. Because the reduction of a large number of troops is inevitable. Because the army is a big burden for the Qi country. The reason why Tian Heng developed the peninsula was actually to transfer these troops. The major general has already seen that if all these armies can be transferred to the armed forces, which are a very large part of the armed forces, they will develop a very large force, and this will be a very beneficial thing for them.

"I did the same. I don't know what's going on with this shipbuilding, but if Koreans can get rich, I think, we can also get rich, why do Koreans get rich, we Qi people can't. Colonel Tian said.

"Good. If the Koreans dare to deceive us, we will kill them immediately, and we will kill them immediately, regardless of whether they are Koreans or not Koreans. That's what we need. The major general said firmly.

"Yes, we listen to you. Sir. The two colonels decided.
