"If you invest in new technology, there must be a new demand, but the current development speed of Qin is still relatively fast, in contrast, Qin has transferred a large number of mature technologies, which will further squeeze Qin's advantages in traditional fields, and if Qin wants to maintain such technological advantages, it must use new technologies. Investing in new technology becomes a demand, a strong demand. Xiao He further explained his opinion.

"Hmm. However, we should also grasp the initiative in other fields, for example, steel, cement, Zhao Guo can be manufactured on a large scale, and we cannot compete with them in this regard. In addition, Zhao has a huge advantage in coal energy, and this advantage is very obvious, and we can't cooperate with them, but. From the perspective of future development, the demand for electricity will be very large, we can produce such generator sets, and naturally we can let Zhao Guoren solve such a problem for us. Yingyu said with a smile. She knew that the next investment plan would be in the direction of new technology, and Qin needed to maintain such a technological advantage.

Qin State, Western Regions, inside Meng Tian's office.

"Hey." Meng Tian looked at the telegram in his hand and shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ben asked.

"The Second Legion of the Moon Clan, launched a sneak attack, which was successful at first, but unfortunately, those damn Indians dug too many trenches. As a result, the reinforcements of the Yueshi were unable to reinforce, causing the failure of the final operation. Pity. It's a pity. Meng Tian said.

"A trench, a small trench, does it cause such a big loss?" Wang Ben asked.

"This, I know better, is there a trench in our defensive line instead of dug one? The State of Qi and the State of Chu fought many battles, all of which were trench warfare by digging trenches, and the power of trench warfare was too familiar to us. The rifle cannot hit the enemy hiding in the trench, the lethality of the artillery is also very limited, and the most important thing is that the trench can give out the advantage of close combat, our muskets are specially designed to deal with the enemy from a distance, for the close enemy, bayonets are used, but in the trench, the bayonet can not be deployed at all, it is equivalent to us holding a spear, and the opponent is using a short knife, in this case, what kind of advantage can we have? Meng Tian said.

"So, that's the problem? If I were an Indian, I would dig a lot of trenches, and that would have a very big impact on us. Wang Ben said.

"That's true, the Indians have done it. Judging by the telegrams near the other lines, it seems that the Indians had popularized this method, the trench warfare, which they had come to accept. In this way, the Yue's mobile offensive advantage will be gone, and the cost of attacking will be very large. Meng Tian said worriedly. He was worried that this move would be very unfavorable to the Yueshi people, because trench warfare required a lot of resources, and in terms of the current financial situation of the Yueshi government and the Yue's determination to attack, it seemed to be very unfavorable to the Yueshi people. In such a situation, Meng Tian very much hopes to be able to innovate the method of warfare, but the innovation of the method of war requires weapons as a foundation, and the change of the foundation requires financial expenditure, and the Yueshi people who do not have a new income may gradually be consumed.

"In that case, it's very troublesome. We can't help them. Unless you concentrate your firepower on bombardment, there really is no way. Wang Ben said.

"There are not no methods, but there are also methods, for example, prepare pistols, shotguns, such melee weapons, and use a large number of grenades to organize large-scale commandos to carry out assaults, these are all methods used by our Qin people, and these methods are still very effective." Meng Tian said.

"However, what I'm worried about is whether the Yueshi people have such sufficient funds, and if they don't have such a large amount of funds, we will not be able to provide them with such a large number of weapons. This remains in fact a financial problem. Meng Tian said.

"Hmm. This problem, I think, can only be handed over to the Ministry of Defense, and then the Prime Minister's Mansion to solve, only they can solve such a problem well, we have occupied a small mountain area, where the land is extremely barren, there are many mountainous areas, and the Yueshi people have nothing good to exchange. Wang Ben said.

"That's the problem." Meng Tian said.

"Forget it. Let's send a telegram to report the situation here. How to solve the financial crisis of the Yueshi people can only depend on the method of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Meng Tian began to draw up a telegram as he spoke.

The front line of the 1st Yueshi Army.

"Look, what are those Indians doing?" A private of the Yue clan stood on the watchtower and said loudly.

When a sergeant heard this, he stood on the trench.

"That's it, what do they do, dig trenches. What do you dig trenches for? The sergeant asked puzzled.

"Hmm." A second lieutenant with a telescope looked at the Indians in the distance, and the Indians drove out in large numbers, and they kept digging trenches. And the more they dig, the more they seem to be happy to do something like this.

"These Indians, are they the same as the Qin people, the Qin people asked us to dig trenches, do they dig trenches to prevent our artillery?" The second lieutenant asked himself puzzled.

"Damn, you're all watching, if they dig up to us, they're going to shoot, whoever it is." The second lieutenant put down the binoculars in his hand and gave the order.

"Yes, sir." The soldier in the distance agreed.

"It's strange that I'm going to report it." The lieutenant said and left the report.

"Sir. What are they digging trenches for? Is it true that many people have died in the city, and they are going to bury them? Private asked curiously.

"Bury people. If you really want to bury someone, just dig a hole. Is it necessary to dig so casually? This is certainly not dug that way. These trenches must have served other purposes. Something about the war, who knows. The sergeant said and left. The defensive thing is very boring, and the Yueshi people are simply strengthening the defensive position, such as some more barbed wire and other things, but most of them are lax. Because they know that they are used to attack. If you don't attack, the defense is completely redundant, so the Yue people have a lot of slackness in the defensive battle. This also led to their ignorance of the trenches of defense.
