1204 Victim of Nature

"Watch out for the royal bank." Shang Wen didn't know what Yingyu meant. But I still repeated. Shang Wen did not attract attention. Instead, he focused on Qin's method of purchasing bonds to satisfy the demand for paper money in the market. The other Shang Wen really didn't think about it that much.

However, Shang Wen is conducting some detailed research on the issue of bonds, and at the same time formulating a new plan to replace Meng Yi's plan. In this way, the Qin State was able to survive the difficulties. Shang Wen fell into a state of working without darkness and night.

"We're going to send a special peace operations team to the front lines. Let them end the war as soon as possible. Only in this way will we be able to get out of the current predicament. Li Mu said to the staff officers around him at this time.

"In this matter, I will order the General Staff to draft a report, submit it to the king, and forward a copy to the Qin State at the same time. Regardless of whether Qin agrees or not, in short, we must end the war as soon as possible. The sooner the war ends, the better. Zhao State can't fight at the moment, and he doesn't want to. At this time, Li Mu said.

"Yes, sir." The officers around replied.

So, the General Staff quickly began to draw up a list, and they wanted to get this done as soon as possible.

"Have you read the telegram sent by Zhao Guo?" In the staff headquarters of the Qin State, Wang Jian and Yang Duan walked briskly in the aisle.

"Looked. Zhao wanted to end the war unilaterally. Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes. Any idea why? At this time, Wang Jian asked.

"No, I don't know." Yang Duanhe said.

"I know a little." Wang Jian said with a smile at this time.

"Tell me about it." Yang Duanhe said.

"Look at the newspapers on our streets, the banks in the Qin State are in an uproar. Now all the banks lack enough money, and they make money in their name. They also began to withdraw the money from foreign investment back to China, and some of them also frantically transferred back the money they lent. I heard that the royal bank wanted to recover a sum of 200,000 yuan, and as a result. Zhao Guo was in chaos all of a sudden. Wang Jian said as he walked.

"Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao State, was in a hurry all of a sudden. almost yelled at Li Mu to get the money back, and Zhao Guoren actually used this money for war expenses. It is conceivable that Guo Kaihui will be in a hurry? Wang Jian said at this time.

"In other words, they ended the war, in fact, because they ran out of money." At this time, Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes. They have no money. The money they can fight is all from our Qin State, but they owe us money. Wang Jian said at this time.

"Tell the truth." At this time, Wang Jian pushed open the door of his office. Then Yang Duanhe walked in. Wang Jian closed the door.

"We should look at it from an economic point of view, there is really no point in this war going on, we have nothing to gain. If Zhao doesn't have the money to develop their economy, we won't get the money we want, and even if we occupy Zhao, we will have to spend dozens of times more than that amount to build Zhao. So, I think that for the current Zhao State, the bigger trouble is still to come. At this time, Wang Jian sat down and said.

"When did you become an economist?" At this time, Yang Duanhe asked.

"There is no way. Now the war and the economy are too close. Just look at these military spending. We need to cut a considerable part of our military spending, which will bring our arms industry to a standstill. At this time, Wang Jian gave Yang Duan and a report.

"It's just too much trouble." Yang Duanhe glanced at it and returned the report to Wang Qian.

"Right now, we're not in a bad situation. You know? Wang Jian said at this time.

"Our biggest problem at the moment is how to use this limited military expenditure to maintain the current situation. There are simply too many enemies around us. The surrounding situation is simply too complicated. As soon as our offensive stopped, the surrounding ethnic minorities would continue to harass us. This situation is very bad for us. Wang Jian said.

"But our military spending was cut. It has been reduced to the point where we can no longer maintain it, and the territory of our Qin State is so large. There are also large areas in undefined areas, which will certainly be battlefields in the future. Wang Jian said, gesturing on a large map behind the office. He pointed to the Western Regions. Then the whole north, then the northeast. He then pointed southwest. It was the area of the Hexi Corridor, and although the Qin state had an area there that extended to the Tibetan Plateau, this did not mean that the Hexi Corridor was safe. The altitude of the plateau is very high. It's sparsely populated. It was difficult for the Qin soldiers to hold out there, and the most important thing was that the Qiang people were found there. The Qin state called them the Qiang people, and they believed that they were part of the Qiang people. However, Shang Wen prefers to call them the Highland Qiang. In order to distinguish it from those nomadic Qiang people in the northwest, Shang Wen did not know if there was any connection between the two. But there is a big difference between the two. Although the number of Qiang people in the highlands is not very large, it is speculated that there could not be too many people there according to the geographical environment. Shang Wen himself calculated it this way.

But it's quite barbaric there. The highland Qiang people there are very aggressive. They are ferocious and unusual. Even if the mercenaries of the Qin State had the advantage of firearms, it was sometimes difficult for them to occupy an absolute advantage.

"In the next year, we will face a huge problem, which is that we have to face all kinds of defense problems, but we don't have a lot of military spending, we have to update our weapons, and at the same time, we have to deal with all kinds of situations. We are in a terrible situation, but in trouble. Wang Jian said.

"We're not on the defensive, the main problem is that our soldiers are nervous. We simply can't raise that many soldiers. Yang Duanhe pointed out the crux of the problem.

"That's too much. Here's our problem. Wang Jian said.

"So, an officer suggested that I do it." At this time, Wang Jian took out a report.

"Mercenary program." Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes. Mercenary program. At this time, Wang Jian said.

"That's what the plan says." Wang Jian said at this time.

"At the moment, we are squeezing on military spending. And our soldiers are well paid. Especially when there are large war casualties. Voices of domestic accusations can have an extremely negative impact on our military operations. So, that's what the report says. Wang Jian said at this time flipping through the report.

"We can hire the people of the Six Nations to form a Six Nations army, and let them take the initiative to attack the enemy on some defensive points." Wang Jian said.

"And what about our people?" Yang Duanhe asked.

And Wang Jian signaled him not to ask casually.

"The money spent by this army of the Six Nations is only equivalent to the cost of one division of our Qin State, but we can get the combat capability of two and a half divisions. And, these powers can help us destroy the opponents we eliminated first. Wang Jian said.

"In addition, there is another plan, which says so." Wang Jian said at this time.

"We can recruit some warlike and aggressive nomads into our mercenaries, and we only need to promise them how many battles they have fought before they can obtain the nationality of Qin, and we will give them freedom. Of course, they can also get a certain amount of property when they are free, and we respect their choice. Wang Jian said with a report.

"We can get these armies without spending a penny." Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes, you're right. You know, at present, we are counting on our allies, and it will not be long-term. You know? South Korea is already planning to retreat from this war against the country. Wang Jian said at this time.

Moreover, Zhao Guo was obviously tired of such a battle. They don't have much money to provide them to fight, even if we can lend them money. They won't fight anymore. Wang Jian said.

"So, we can only spend money, and we can hire people who don't have to spend money to fight." Wang Jian said.

"So, what about our people?" Yang Duanhe asked at this time.

"That's the crux of the matter. Our people, we must maintain their combat effectiveness, otherwise our country will be in big trouble. Wang Jian said at this time.

"In key areas, our army has become the most important main force, and we must protect our main force presence at all costs, and let them be allowed to accumulate and protect our combat experience." Wang Jian said at this time.

"It looks like we're a little selfish." Yang Duanhe said.

"But some things can be discarded." Yang Duanhe said.

"For those mercenaries of minority groups, we can sacrifice without mercy. Besides, their loyalty is worth testing, and you know, there was a big riot before. We have a great deal of distrust in them. Wang Jian said at this time.

"Yes." Yang Duanhe understands very well. You don't even have to think about it. The Qin State would definitely use the northern nomads who were more powerful in combat, such as the Huns, the Huns, or the mountain people in the northeast, these people were for them. They are all good warriors, they are aggressive, and they are brave in battle, and they are full of physical strength, and they seem to have nothing but to fight. They are born to fight fodder.

"Are we going to give them some combat skills as well? For example, the use of weapons. These. At this time, Yang Duanhe asked.

"Yes. Some will be taught, but not many, and besides, there must be differences in weapons, so that we can guarantee that our position has not changed. Wang Jian said at this time.

"It seems that these people are born victims." Yang Duanhe said.
