2159 Surprise

Shang Wen walked back and forth, thinking about how to solve the matter of the Dawan people, in his memory. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info place occupied by the Dawan people, which is today's Central Asia, which is rich in resources. Coal, manganese ore, copper ore, gold ore, and chrome ore.

When he thinks of chrome, Shangwen feels very lucky. The people of Qin discovered the important role of chromium, which is also an important reason for the huge improvement of steel in Qin. All kinds of chromium alloy steel allowed Qin to have a variety of materials to make automobile cylinders, as well as all kinds of guns, parts, machine tools, etc., without these, Qin's industry could not be further improved, because the quality of steel could not be broken through in the first place. Thinking of this, Shang Wen believes that the development of Central Asia should first focus on the development of minerals, and with such minerals as a breakthrough, it will certainly be able to play a huge role in promoting.

However, Shangwen quickly calmed down again, although he found a breakthrough. But how to make the development of minerals, this is a key, the Western Regions is very far away from Guanzhong, and transportation to Guanzhong still requires a lot of railway transportation capacity. Come to think of it. Shang Wen rethought the feasible way to break through this breakthrough.

On the southwestern plateau of the Qin State.

"Hey, look, what is Zhao Jun doing?" A private of the Qin army carried his rifle on his back and ate his own lunch in one hand, roasting a leg of mutton, which was a special lunch before the sentry on duty. Because they have a very important vigilance mission. A good meal is also deserved. And here, there is no shortage of lamb. A box of canned food can be exchanged for several sheep, and they have hated canned food. Long-term use makes them very disgusted with this food.

"Oh. They are building fortresses. At this time, a sergeant came over, and the sergeant also nibbled on a leg of mutton, and the sergeant said as he gnawed on a leg of mutton.

"This, they built a fortress in front of our positions, isn't this a great threat to us?" Private Li Dang asked puzzled.

"Boy. You don't know that. The sergeant laughed and kicked the other man.

"Tell you, this is Zhao Guo acting as a shield for us." The sergeant said with a smile.

"This. What does that mean? Li Dang asked puzzled.

"Okay, don't embarrass him, Lao Yang." A lieutenant walked over with his lunch box and said. In the lunch box was mutton soup, and he also held several dough cakes in his hands. This kind of bread of the Qin army was temporarily purchased by their division. This dough is hard and dry, very unpalatable, but easy to preserve. However, if this kind of bread is chopped with a bayonet, it is put into the mutton soup. It is also a very delicious dish with delicious lamb and soaked dough pieces.

The long-term garrison life has made the Qin officers and soldiers have a persistent pursuit of food, and they find ways to make the food more delicious every day. Because they really don't have anything to do here. It's a very boring life.

That was the first step in the establishment of a colony by the Zhao army, and they formally reached an agreement with the Qiang natives, and the Zhao army gave them a lot of supplies and bought quite a lot of land. This is their colony. Lieutenant Wang Guang explained.

"Oh. I see. The private nodded in understanding.

"Lao Yang will explain to him what he doesn't know in the future, don't tease these things like this, it's better than you." The lieutenant said to Lao Yang. Lao Yang is the sergeant just now. He's a veteran oilman. Originally, he was supposed to be a sergeant. It's a pity that he attacked the Qiang tribe and captured a woman back. And hid in the barracks. As a result, the gendarmes above caught the current. He was punished by the above, and then demoted him to sergeant.

"Yes. Sir. Lao Yang said reluctantly. Then he gnawed on his own leg of lamb.

"Sir, why did those Zhao people build the fortress in front of our position. In that case, aren't they the opposition to us? At this time, the private asked worriedly.

"It's not an antagonism. It's an interdependent relationship. Wang Guang explained.

"After the Zhao army's fortress is built, they will build a passage, and then when the passage reaches a certain distance, they will build another fort, so that there is a connection between the forts. At the same time, it can also maintain the delivery of supplies. On both sides, they will place a large number of mines, barbed wire, for defense. Wang Guang explained. That's what it says in the notice from the meeting above.

It was not easy for Zhao to establish a colony. They were dealing with the local Qiang tribe, as there were tribes like them in the colony, and if they did not agree to leave the pastures they occupied, a conflict would erupt. I am not afraid of directly confronting Zhao Guoren, but I am afraid of constant harassment. Cut off logistical supply lines. In order to open up the land that is guaranteed to be occupied. Zhao Guoren had to adopt such a stupid approach. Build a fortress and then extend it little by little. Expand, and if long enough, they will be able to have their own colony.

"If you do that, it's too time-consuming, it's just mines on both sides, and there are enough barbed wire." Private said as he watched the construction of the fortress in the distance.

"Hmm. That's right. However, Zhao Guoren's will is quite strong. Relying on the favorable situation of our position, they came little by little. If they establish a position, the pressure on our side will be much less, after all, the Qiang people will focus on the people of the Zhao State. Wang Guang said.

"Hmm. I don't know what these Zhao people are trying to do? The land is very barren, and it is not possible to grow wheat, so I can only graze herd. invested so much that in the end, it was exchanged for a bunch of meat, dairy products, and skins. Li Dang said with a smile.

"That's not something we can understand. Alright, you can eat. After eating, you will also be on duty to be responsible for the vigilance of the whole company. At this time, Wang Guang said to Li Dang. He also took out his bayonet, smashed the bread in his hand little by little, and threw it into his own mutton soup. This kind of food is only strong enough to eat it hot.

The reaction of the Qin army to the colonies established by the Zhao people was lackluster. Although several high-ranking officers were very excited, in their opinion, if Zhao Guoren stood in front of them, they would be much more relaxed, and then they would be able to return to the rear to repair. This is a good thing. However, most of the officers and soldiers are also very indifferent to this, because their lives have not changed much.

Liaodong border of Yan State.

"I'll tell you good news, the Yan people have agreed to our request, and they have also sent four heavy artillery. These heavy artillery pieces were all sold by the Qin State to the Yan people back then. With these heavy artillery, we were able to block a fairly large area. Meng Fang said with a smile. Because when he received this news, he was also very surprised, he didn't expect that the people of Yan Guo would be so generous, and even the heavy artillery was allocated to him.

"Really?" Guo Sheng asked with a smile.

"It's true, in addition, they have mobilized the defensive artillery from all over the Yan country. I read the telegram that there were about 300 of them. These guns are enough for us. Meng Fang said with some excitement. He was born as an artilleryman, and he has a very strong dependence on artillery, without which he would not have been able to find a suitable job for himself.

"Great." Guo Sheng said happily. With the support of artillery, he was confident that the role of mine arrays would be even greater.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Meng Fang looked at Guo Sheng suspiciously, and led his people to arrange a strange mine position.

"Huh. This is a nearby road, and it was only discovered yesterday, from the main road over there, this small road can be found, through this path, you can bypass the 223 highlands over there. Then go directly to Liaodong. I saw that this place was very important, so I put some tricks here. Guo Sheng explained.

"Trickery? What kind of thunder is this? Meng asked puzzled. He knew that there were three kinds of anti-infantry mines produced by the Qin State, and some mines that were specifically designed to deal with cavalry, but he had never found any trick mines.

"Hehe, of course you don't know. I'm afraid not only you, but also your entire Qin army probably don't know. Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"What does this mean? Could it be that you, Zhao Jun, can make your own mines? At this time, Meng Fang asked with some concern. After all, if such a thing happened to him, he was really surprised.

"No, how could we build mines by ourselves, many core technologies, we Zhao Guo don't know at all." At this time, Guo Sheng said.

"What's this, what are you talking about?" Meng Fang asked anxiously.

"Hmm. Come and see. Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"Oh." Meng Fang didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but in order to find out what the trick was, he also had to go over and take a look.

Saying that, Guo Sheng took Meng Fang to a place where Zhao Jun had laid mines, which was a small road. The side of the lower road is slightly steep uphill, and the trail is a mistake that has been walked for many years.

"Look." As he spoke, Guo Sheng pointed to the mines planted under his feet.

"What does that mean?" Meng Fang looked at the ground, and he saw that there were several mine craters connected. And not only the mines of the sappers are connecting the fire-pulling devices with wires, and the places where they are connected are specially supported with wooden blocks.

"Oh. This is a kind of string of mines. Guo Sheng explained.

"This road can only be carried out with a very limited number of troops, and the march is very long. If we follow the usual arrangement, the damage caused is very limited. Guo Sheng explained.

"But if we set up a string of mines, you'll find out. Such a way of detonating a mine can cause a lot of casualties. Guo Sheng said excitedly. Meng Fang crouched down and carefully examined the method of planting the mines.

After reading it, Meng Fang suddenly understood. At the front of the road, Zhao Jun planted a mine that could be triggered, and the mine was a trigger mine, and when the other party stepped on the mine, the front mine was also connected to the back mine, so that the back mine was also connected to the trigger. Such a series of explosions will cause great casualties on the other side.

"Wonderful." Meng Fang praised after reading it.

"The other party would definitely not have thought that there are mines behind that will cause explosions, so that a large number of enemy troops will enter on the narrow passage, and a series of detonations at this time will cause damage to the opponent's entire team, which is really wonderful." Meng Fang stretched out his thumb and praised.

"Huh. This is the trick mine, although the mine was produced by you Qin people, but the method of laying mines was indeed thought up by our Zhao people, and you definitely didn't think of this. Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"Yes. That's right, you Zhao people are indeed much better than us in this regard. Meng Fang said.

"Our mines are generally blocked, but in terms of application, who would have thought of such a number of application methods." Meng Fang showed an approving look.

"Huh." Guo Sheng smiled slightly.

"We also have no way, the mines that your Qin army sold to our Zhao army are very limited, and we can't even give many grenades, if we use them according to your method, the mines you sell us will not be enough at all." Guo Sheng shrugged and said. He expressed his frustration.

"Now it's fine. I've never planted so many mines, and besides, there's absolutely enough explosives. That's the desired outcome. Guo Sheng said to Meng Fang.

"Hmm. Tell me what kind of mines you have. Meng Fang asked with interest.

"This. It's simple, you come with me. Saying that, Guo Sheng took Meng Fang to visit Zhao Jun's method of laying mines.

Next to the steep cliffs. Zhao Jun planted a large amount of explosives in a natural mountain pass mountain, and laid quite a lot of rocks on top of the explosives.

"What is this method of burying mines for?" Meng Fang asked puzzled after reading it.

"Used to block the enemy's path, especially in dense formations, explosives will blow these stones into the sky and then fly down, these stones are the best weapons." Guo Sheng explained.

"Oh. I see. Meng Fang nodded.

"Anything else?" Meng Fang then asked.

"Also, when the mines are laid, put the grenades in them, blow up the grenades, and the flying grenades fly everywhere, and the killing effect is very good." Guo Sheng went on to talk about another method that specializes in dealing with the offensive formation of the brigade. Hear this. Meng Fang admired the other party's wit very much.

There were not many mines and grenades provided by the Qin State to the Zhao army, but the Zhao army was able to make such an arrangement in terms of specific tactics. This really made Meng Fang stretch out his admiring thumbs, and then Meng Fang visited other methods of laying mines, and the other methods undoubtedly added some tricky methods, for example, some countermeasures to prevent the other party from becoming familiar with mines, a fake mine above, and a real mine below. In fact, this is also a kind of serial thunder.

Meng Fang deeply felt that the Zhao army's tactical achievements far surpassed the Qin army, although the Qin army had an absolute advantage in weapon firepower, but the other party was able to take advantage of the specific geographical advantage, relying on the extremely limited weapons in his hand with flexible tactics to achieve unexpected tactical results, which attracted Meng Fang's attention. At the same time, he was also worried that if the Qin army wanted to attack Zhao one day in the future, it would first have to face such tactics, and the Qin army would have to face such tactics every time it took a step forward, and the Zhao army's will to resist was very resolute.

Sinzheng, South Korea. Royal Bank of Korea.

"Two joint projects like this?" Han Cai asked White Fang.

"Yes. I think it's good for both sides. White said.

"Moreover, we only need to contribute a small part of the funds to this project, and the rest, or more funds, we can invest in other places, which can reduce our risks, and at the same time can greatly expand our investment profits." White then persuaded.

"I've seen your plan, we invested 800,000 yuan, but we only have 25% of the shares, which is too low." Han Cai shook his head and said.

"Hmm. The conditions can continue to be negotiated. But I think it's a great opportunity. White said lightly.

"What chance?" Han Cai asked vigilantly.

"A chance to make a fortune." White said.

"You should know that this investment requires a lot of funds, and we only have a small proportion of Wenyang, plus your Royal Bank of South Korea, our proportion is not small." White said.

"However, the funding gap remains significant. And judging from the future demand, there is still a lot of funding for this. So, we need some other funding to solve this problem. White said.

"Hmm. Go on. Han Cai nodded. He still didn't know what the Qin people wanted to do.

"Qi is a big market, an untapped, and huge potential market, at the same time, I heard that the merchants of Chu have also gathered quite a lot of businessmen in Xinzheng, South Korea, they can also get our Qin's business investment, but they don't know what to do, I think, this is an opportunity, if the two of us join forces to do this business, we will save a lot of money, and at the same time, we can also operate the shares. Get the greater good. White said.

"I still don't understand what you mean?" Han Cai shook his head and said.

"Hmm. Here's the thing. If we join forces, we will save a lot of money, so we have some money left, and now there are a lot of projects, but the most profitable projects are only a few, and I think we should control the banks first. As long as we set up a bank, jointly complete it, and then provide loans or investments, in this way, we can indirectly control the main business of Qi State, or Chu State. I think the benefits are obvious. White said.

Hearing this, Han Cai's heart jumped. If it weren't for Qin Guo's personal proposal, he really didn't know that there was such a plan, and such a plan was indeed very tempting, if the Royal Bank of South Korea went all out to do this project, it might be very risky, after all, a large amount of money was gathered in this project.

"We are also considering this problem from the perspective of risk diversification, after all, if we do it as a bank, it will need a lot of funds, occupy a lot of funds, and use it on a project, the risk is very large, but if we do it together, the risk may be much smaller, and it can also occupy a good proportion of shares, I think this is very beneficial to the Royal Bank of Korea, and we will come to you to cooperate." White said. In fact, they came to attract the other party's investment, after all, they were entrusted by the Qi Guotian Group. However, there is also a series of lobbying before getting the other party's funding.

"With additional funding, we can do a lot of things, such as: Investing in other banks and encouraging them to participate in this project, or something better, is very beneficial to us. If you concentrate too much money on this, I think it will take up too much money, not be flexible enough, and be very risky. The current situation is that as long as there are good projects, you can make money. But not a lot of people invest. White said.

Han Cai just nodded. Then he motioned for the other party to continue, he thought that what the other party said was very reasonable, but he still needed a strong investment case.

"If we can spread that money and invest it in other countries' banks, the profits are very substantial." White then explains.

And Han Cai seriously thought about the pros and cons, what Bai Fang said is indeed a fact, the South Korean Royal Bank can indeed only come up with funds for such a large project, but in the face of such a large project, how many chances of South Korea to win can be rewarded, if there is no return, there will be a huge risk. And the Royal Bank of South Korea cannot cope with such a risk, and such a risk is already difficult for them to accept.

"Well, we're going to accept your proposal. At the same time, I hope to be able to cooperate with you Qin State and carry out a series of cooperation. Unfold in the affairs of the State of Qi, or the Bank of Chu. Han Cai thought about it and said. He thinks the other side is right.

"Oh." White was stunned. He really didn't expect that the other party would agree, which was somewhat unexpected to him, Bai Fang and Meng Lin had thought of such a way before, using the risk and profit investment ratio to persuade the other party to give up most of the shares of this project, and instead invest in the affairs of Qi State, which also has a prospect, or Chu State Bank. In fact, such a project is just a rhetoric for them, but what they didn't expect was that the other party agreed to do so. White was a little surprised, and he didn't know what to do next.

"What? Does Mr. Bai want your headquarters to be involved in it? At this time, Han Cai asked.

"Oh. No, no, I just feel like this is coming a little too fast. White explained.

"I will report the next report to the above in detail, but there are still some details I need to know, and I hope Mr. Bai can explain." Han Cai invited.

"This. Naturally, there is no problem. White said with a smile. He didn't expect that such a thing could be done, which was really an unexpected joy.
