"We, South Korea, are not afraid of Wei, and Wei no longer has any hope of resisting our South Korea's sudden attack, but we South Korea cannot withstand a blow from behind by any country. Especially the Qin State, if the Qin State knew that we were going to attack the Wei State, maybe it would not support the Wei State, but instead supported the Wei State, and in this way, we would have entered a quagmire of a long-term war situation. Therefore, we should make clever use of the diplomatic situation around us. Zhang Liang suggested.

"Well, what the deputy prime minister said makes sense." Han Shu nodded in agreement. South Korea completely adopted the system of the Qin state, and established the post of vice prime minister in the central government. However, the vice prime minister of South Korea has much greater responsibilities than the vice prime minister of Qin.

The deputy prime minister of the Qin State was equivalent to a temporary worker. Everything is done when needed. It is possible to fully assume the position only when the main office is not available. Usually it's all cameos. And it is good to obey the dispatch of the prime minister. For specific things, at most the same as an assistant. Usually there is no permission. That is, any file. There was no formal signature from Shang Wen. Documents signed by the Deputy Prime Minister are invalid.

In South Korea, the deputy prime minister has been given certain specific powers. For example, Zhang Liang was in charge of some economic affairs. Han Fei, on the other hand, was specific to the formulation and implementation of some justices. Although the deputy prime minister is a deputy position. But in some specific areas. There is no size in between.

Han Fei also agreed with this idea.

"So how do we do that?" Han Shu asked.

"Let the Qin State call the shots!" Zhang Liang said respectfully. Hearing such an answer, Han Shu showed a look of displeasure.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that the king is a little displeased, but after listening to the minister's analysis, he is deciding." Zhang Liang said.

"Well, then you can talk about it." Han Shu said.

"Among our neighbors, only the Qin State is the most powerful. It's also quite influential. The current state of Qin is no longer the state of Qin as it used to be. The former state of Qin may have been called stronger. Because, the Qin State mostly threatened with force. And today's Qin State uses more weak strength. These forces are things that we can't see or touch. As far as the minister knows. Our neighbor Zhao State. The reason why Qin was able to contain Zhao was because Qin used economic means that they rarely saw. Zhang Liang said.

"Oh. Tell me about it. Han Shu said.

"In the year that Qin helped Zhao, Zhao was actually on the verge of extinction. But Qin helped for no reason. This one pulled Zhao Guo back from the brink of death. I don't know what the specific considerations of the Qin State are. But after Zhao Guo went through this incident. began to obey the arrangement of the Qin State, and then the capital of the Qin State Bank began to enter the Zhao State in large quantities. In this way, the State of Zhao is even more inseparable from the State of Qin. And as long as the Qin State draws a little capital, then the Zhao State will never dare to resist. This is the means of the Qin State. Zhang Liang said.

"Qin is using this means to expand its influence in Zhao, Yan, and our Korea. This method is much more sophisticated than the previous method of solving the problem by force alone. Moreover, the Qin State can completely borrow its strength, and it can also go into battle in person when necessary, but at that time, it will be completely beneficial to the Qin State. So the brilliance of the Qin State is here. ”

"Again, what we should pay attention to is this method of the Qin State. At present, it is not easy for us to develop in South Korea, especially with the help of Qin's free ride to develop opportunities. If we rashly start a war with the Wei State. Without the consent of the Qin state, the Qin state will inevitably be concerned about the war between us and the Wei state. Moreover, the Qin State had an efficient staff team to plan the overall situation of the war. It is impossible for them not to know who wins and who loses between us and Wei. If the Qin State feels threatened by them, or if the outcome of the war is in our favor of Korea. The Qin State is in strategic considerations, and it will inevitably intervene in it, and we will be very disadvantageous at that time. Our national strength cannot compete with the Qin State in any case. Zhang Liang analyzed step by step.

Saying this, Han Shu gasped. The actual situation is indeed the case, and Qin Guoguo cleverly made trouble for South Korea behind his back. Especially when South Korea's interests are gradually expanding. They are more likely to worry about a strong opponent appearing on their side.

"The Qin State does not want a strong opponent to appear by their side, especially in a fast-developing country like ours, we once surpassed the Qin State in some areas, but as everyone knows, this transcendence will also bring us some difficulties and problems. Because the state of Qin will definitely cause some nervous insecurity. Zhang Liang analyzed. In fact, there are already some concerns in Qin about the rapid development of South Korea's economy. But this voice was ignored in the context of Qin's thriving economy. But this concern persists.

"If this is the time when we send troops. It can be said that it is very disadvantageous. So, let's take the initiative to take a step back. took the initiative to let Qin out of the country. Let the Qin State call the shots for us, and we will let the Qin State out. It allows us to take the initiative. Treating the Qin State as the hegemon fully shows that we in South Korea respect the Qin State. Fear of the Qin State. As long as Qin Guo has this kind of thinking, then we will win. Zhang Liang said.

Saying this, Han Shu fell into deep thought. What Zhang Liang said is not unreasonable. And it is true, if South Korea does it itself, then Qin will obviously be unhappy, on the contrary, in its own considerations, it may also make bad moves and secretly sabotage South Korea. This is extremely detrimental to South Korea's future strategic development. And the most unfavorable thing is that it has aroused the alarm of the Qin State, especially the Qin State believes that South Korea is a threat, and will re-adopt a strategy to suppress South Korea. In this way, South Korea will not be able to develop for a long time. Thinking of this, Han Shu recognized Zhang Liang's idea.

"What if Korea is going to grow for a long time?" Han Shu asked.

"Keep up with the pace of the Qin State." Zhang Liang said firmly. See you in the current strategic situation. South Korea could only follow the pace of Qin. Whatever the Qin State does, South Korea will do, and it cannot obviously surpass the Qin State. Once it surpasses the Qin state, it will trigger a bad influence in Korea. This is also the place where the greatest strategic passivity is located next to a big country, especially a powerful country.

"Yes." After hearing this, Han Shu could only nod in agreement. At the moment, South Korea has no other choice. Who let the geographical location only rely on the Qin State. This is also geographically unselectable.

"Your Majesty, a group of Han people besieged the Prime Minister's Mansion. The prime minister was asked to send troops to attack the Wei state. An attendant hurriedly reported to Han Shu. Hear this. Han Shu was a little displeased. But he still waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to go down.

"What do you think?" Han Shu asked.

"Prime Minister Zhang Cheng can talk about it." Han Shu could only let Zhang Liang speak. Because what Han Fei is good at is the formulation of laws. It is not about the handling and planning of government affairs. And Han Fei is because of his stuttering. Can't speak neatly.

"We can ・・・・・・・ like this," Zhang Liang said after a moment's thought.

Subsequently, Han Shu led a group of important ministers to make a public speech in front of the palace. This is a way to express South Korea's attitude.

"Wei is obviously here for us, and thinks that we are very easy to bully in Korea. If there is such a thought, the widow thinks, they think wrong. They're going to pay for it. Han Shu made this speech with a hard-line attitude that few women have. And South Korean reporters and Qin reporters seem to have gotten something out of Han Shu's not very clear words.

"Although Han Wang is a woman, we see in her a kind of resoluteness that is difficult for Korean men to exude. This resoluteness is manifested in a kind of self-confidence and determination. A Qin reporter wrote in the report.

"Our king is going to make a new big move. The new king of Han, who came to power by extraordinary means, will surely lead our new Korea by making unprecedented feats that have surpassed the previous kings. A South Korean newspaper wrote. Although it is somewhat poorly written. In particular, the kind of boastful vocabulary is written a little reluctantly. But this is enough to show the firm determination of the South Korean upper echelons on the Wei issue. War between Han and Wei was already inevitable.

After King Han made this speech, he took the initiative to get in touch with Qin. And said that if necessary, King Han could visit Qin in person.

South Korea took the initiative to send such a telegram, which really made it difficult for Qin.

"Your Majesty, this is a telegram just sent from South Korea." Zhao Guo took a telegram and presented it to the king of Qin with both hands. King Qin put down a book on business management in his hand. With the economic development of the Qin state, more and more books began to appear. From business management to science and technology to some novels, the Qin State has a growing variety of publications. As long as it is a celebrity, or someone who wants to be famous, they can publish books. These books illustrate their popularity by their circulation.

King Qin also thought that he could read these books at any time. These books are much more interesting than the political arguments and stuff. And there are endless kinds of opinions and all kinds of perspectives. For example, some people specialize in analyzing data in technical categories. These analyses are not unreasonable. And sometimes it's more practical.

"Oh. Say what. King Qin put down the book in his hand and looked at the telegram.

"What does that mean in South Korea. He even asked us what to do? King Qin looked at the telegram.

"Forward this telegram to the Governor's Office, the General Staff, and the Prime Minister's Office." King Qin didn't bother to pay attention to such a thing. He is trying to improve his management experience. One of the books he read mentions some management experience. For example, delegating authority to subordinates appropriately. Let the subordinates do it themselves. Then synthesize the opinions and let them do it. This frees up time for the C-suite to think about big things, or just to take the big picture. Of course, you can also check some things randomly. Moreover, the management book explains some of the institutional advantages as much as possible. Explain the relationship between distance and degrees of freedom, proportions, and so on. These are some of the things that King Qin is trying to improve.

"Whoa." Zhao Gao nodded and left.

"Lao Wang, do you have any thoughts on South Korea's telegram?" Wei Yu asked.

"I don't know, when I think it's very likely that South Korea is going to send troops." Wang Jian said directly on the phone.

"Well, that's what I thought too. And such an idea has already been expressed in the telegram. But there's one thing to be aware of. Wei Yu said.

"What?" Wang Jian said.

"Why did South Korea take the initiative to tell us the news?" Wei Yu said.

"Then I ask you, do you want to have a strong opponent by your side?" Wang Jian asked directly.

"Haha, I'm going to be with me." Wei Yi smiled directly.

"That's not it." Wang Jian said. In fact, such a trick was obvious in front of the Qin State. King Qin saw through the little tricks that South Korea was going to play at first glance. But this political game is like that, since you see through it. But it doesn't need to be debunked. The next thing to do is how to deal with it. The King of Qin meant to let his generals and civil officials come up with corresponding countermeasures. How can the Qin State not lose its own interests, but also curb the development of its opponents.

"There is still a need for Wei to exist, after all, this is the best force to balance Korea. At best, Wei was able to find a new backstage. In this way, the more advantageous we are. Wei Yu analyzed.

"Yes. It's a good idea. But it is concretely implemented. It depends on how Wei chooses. Wang Jian said.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, due to Shang Wen's travel, Meng Yi temporarily took over the power of all Prime Ministers in the country.

For this telegram. He asked his assistant to forward one to Shangwen. Let Shangwen know and find out. And think of a way to deal with it.

However, the civilian-bureaucratic clique of the Qin State was concerned about such a thing as Korea doing something against the Wei State. There is a consensus on it. That is, South Korea will definitely be able to win against Wei. The key is that the pattern after winning the war is very important.

Civilians are not concerned with winning wars. They are concerned about both before and after the war. Or the entanglement of interests in the war, etc. They are more generalized than the generals think. And the generals think about how to win the war.

Just when the Qin State was discussing this matter in China. Han Shu inspected her army. The First Regiment of the Praetorian Guard, the New Army of South Korea.

"All stand upright." An officer shouted loudly in a gorgeous military uniform. The nearly 4,000-strong troops of the whole regiment stood up with a "whoosh".

"Toot toot. Doodle. The bugle began to sound. The snare drum produces a rhythmic recital.

And Han Shu stepped out of the carriage. Nodding his head from time to time, he inspected his army. The generals on the side held their heads up.

"Very nice. The widow was very happy. Lady Han said.

"The widow needs to say a few words to the soldiers to boost the high morale of the widowed soldiers." Han Shu saw that the morale of her soldiers was high. I am very happy. The ROK New Army has grown into a new type of army, you are coming. Especially the Praetorian Guard, the new army of South Korea. Although they had only three integrated infantry regiments. But their equipment is very elite.

Two infantry regiments were re-equipped with new revolving pull-back rifles. And this rifle carries a five-round magazine. Can shoot quickly. The rate of fire has been greatly improved compared to single-shot rifles. After all, there is one less process of reloading ammunition.

The other infantry regiment was armed with old-fashioned trap rifles. But the armament of the machine gun compensated for the lack of rifle fire. The ROK Forces nouvelles have introduced a large number of new machine guns. Although all are water-cooled machine guns. The weight is heavy. It takes four people to move. The state of Qin did not allow the export of more advanced air-cooled machine guns. But South Korea has its own way. They frequently sent officer corps to study in the Qin State. And there is also a special establishment of technical officers. Learn how to operate artillery, machine guns, armored fighting vehicles and other technical weapons. Although the Qin army restricted the formation of a flying team by the new South Korean army. But there are still people in South Korea who have learned how to fly airships and airplanes.

"My soldiers" Han Shu abandoned the word widow. I chose to be more gracious.

"Whoa." Hearing the first words of Han Shu's speech, all the officers and soldiers rushed to be shocked. The generals behind him were shocked. It never occurred to them that the queen would use "I." to express yourself.

"There's a good chance the soldiers didn't think I'd use me." Han Shu continued. At this time, her soldiers slowly calmed down. Listen to her quietly.

"I am grateful for the support I have received from the Forces nouvelles. And, thanks to every officer and soldier for their loyalty to me, to be honest, everyone knows what I got to this throne on. And it is also very clear what the support and loyalty of the Forces nouvelles means. "Han Shu had been walking around the barracks as early as when the Qin State helped him build a new army. From time to time, he made some speeches to win over the allegiance of those key officers. And they took all kinds of means to encircle their own army. It can be said that she has become a veteran of winning people's hearts.

In the state of Qin, he had long-term contact with his own army. She also knows very well what the army needs, and it is better to say words that some soldiers feel cordial to be closer to the hearts of the people than to say things that some soldiers don't understand. And be able to co-opt their own army. Militarymen are simple. What they need is care. In particular, a woman is able to lower her status with full respect for the military. Then, the soldiers will also be desperate to protect this woman. Han Shu wants such an effect.

Hearing this, all the soldiers felt a burst of warmth.

"When I gained the loyalty of my soldiers, I swore that I would bring me closer to my army. I don't like the term widow, and I don't like to be called a queen. I like to be myself and be me. Only in this way can we bring me closer to you. The soldiers listened to the queen.

"I am honored to have your loyalty. Thank you for trusting me. Give me Korea. Thank you. Han Shu nodded respectfully in thanks. All the officers and soldiers did not expect the queen to make such a move. They were stunned. They never thought of it that way. They all wondered if they were dreaming. But the reality is that they really aren't dreaming.

"Since you trust me, trust me. Give me Korea. Then I will take charge of South Korea. Guard. Han Shu said.

"Of course, I also need you to work with me to protect this country. Protect the lives of our people. ”

"I'm afraid everyone has heard of it. Things between us and the Wei state. Although now things have not developed to the point of using force to solve them. However, we must be fully prepared and always ready to deal with sudden unexpected situations. Han Shu said. According to Zhang Liang's speculation. The state of Qin would certainly not agree to South Korea's dispatch of troops all at once. Moreover, a country from a state of peace to a state of war also requires a process of adaptation. This process is precisely the last chance to use diplomacy to avoid war. In other words, it is not yet time to use force to make a final settlement.

"We must always be ready to defend our country and the lives of our people. For the sake of their homeland, in order to defend their homeland, make all preparations for battle. ”

"For your honor. For his wife. Also be ready for battle. Han Shu said loudly.

All the soldiers listened quietly. They were thrilled in their hearts, and it was only then that they realized that they were defending their own country, and realized their responsibilities and obligations. They have responsibilities on them.

Just when Han Shu spoke excitedly. From time to time, South Korean reporters have also come forward to record and report on these events. They take pictures. Then he told his own experience. These reports are for the South Korean public. Lady Han did this to let the people know. The Queen's inspection of the army meant that South Korea had to raise its fighting level. The army is ready to fight.

This is also evidenced by a number of subsequent moves. Han Shu began to order the Prime Minister's Office to investigate and count the list of eighteen-year-old adult men in the country. But it's just statistics. At the same time, the number of voluntary military recruits will be increased.

At the same time, in order to make a good job of the huge shortage in the number of officers and non-commissioned officers. Han Sook urgently ordered South Korea to establish the Korean General Staff, the National Captain's Office, and then ordered the establishment of the Korean Military Academy. In the Korean non-commissioned officer school. Requests are also made. The state of Qin was asked to send some officers to Korea to teach some courses.

These are a flurry of moves. All of this shows that South Korea is stepping up its active preparations for war. And on the Wei side. But there was no movement in the preparation for war. On the contrary, the whole state of Wei was relaxed. They thought that no matter how bad Wei was, it would be able to fight a draw with South Korea. A South Korean person studied it carefully, and there is no Wei Guoda. This old Warring States power is still dreaming of what it was unwilling to wake up to before. As everyone knows, in the Warring States, he is already far behind several other countries.

At a time when South Korea is actively preparing for the war. A private volunteer corps was also formed in the northern part of the Qin state. The appearance of this corps was very unexpected. And it was completely unexpected by the Qin people themselves. It can be said that their appearance did not surprise the upper echelons of the Qin State at all.

"We can't watch our children being surrounded, and despite our government's repeated offers to help, so much time has passed, but we still haven't seen anything the government do, our children are still fighting in a circle, and all they can rely on is their bravery and unyielding faith. The weapons in their hands drove away those damned Qi people. We can't just watch such brave children go untouched. We are Qin people. The Qin people can't abandon their own people and ignore them. "A veteran in his fifties was carrying an old-fashioned flintlock pistol with a bronze sword pinned to his waist. It can be seen that his military history is relatively long.
