I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 800, worrying about gains and losses

Zhang He didn't think that Liu Bei had a chance of victory. In the era of cold weapons, having cavalry and not having cavalry are two different things.

With the cavalry, the strategic initiative is mastered, and the flat terrain of Tianzhu is naturally suitable for the cavalry. It can be said that the Guishuang Empire does not send idiot generals, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to win this battle by chance!

Wang Guojun was surprised: "According to your opinion, Liu Bei will be defeated?"

Liu Bei’s disastrous defeat is also not good for Dagan. Now Liu Bei in Tianzhu is the largest trading country in Dagan. It can even be said that Liu Bei’s family accounts for half of Dagan’s foreign trade. If Liu Bei is driven out of Tianzhu by the Guishuang Empire, Dagan’s sea Trade is about to be seriously injured, and Guishuang, which completely occupies Tianzhu, will also become a hegemon that threatens the western part of Dagan. From this aspect, Dagan does not want to see Liu Bei defeated.

As far as Dagan is concerned, Liu Bei, a big customer, is still indispensable. After the world is stabilized, the prices of Dagan's agricultural products will fall again and again as the arable land expands in an all-round way.Even the Dagan imperial court has repeatedly asked for the expansion of cash crops, but there is no way to solve this problem.

There is no way to do this. When there is enough oil and water, the demand for rations will naturally plummet. Now the largest cash crop in Dagan is soybeans, but eating too much soybean oil will reduce the per capita food intake by half. Wang Guojun was surprised to find that, In places where more soybeans are planted, the demand for food is also plummeting. In addition, a large amount of whale oil and palm oil overseas have entered the daily life of the people. Now the people who are working hard can eat two catties of big-bellied men for a meal. There are almost none. This is a very helpless situation. With more soybeans planted, the price of food will drop faster.

But now Liu Bei is the largest exporter of Dagan grain. Every year Liu Bei imports tens of millions of shi of grain. Dagan doesn't want to make any money, he just needs to reduce losses.

Zhang He said: "Liu Bei has the advantage of artillery. If he defends the city, he can also repel the army of the Guishuang Empire! But Liu Bei is an outsider after all. If he didn't deal with the relationship of returning to Tianzhu, he would be restored by the nobles of Tianzhu. There is a great possibility that he will be crushed!"

In Zhang Yun's view, Liu Bei is an outsider after all, and his core strength is only tens of thousands of Han Chinese who followed him to Tianzhu. If he only defends, it will easily cause the grassroots of Tianzhu to rebel against Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei really has strong industrial power in Tianzhu, then Liu Bei may not have no chance of winning.

Wang Ge also said: "Although the cavalry is mobile, Liu Bei is not unable to reduce the harm of the cavalry. Tianzhu also has a large number of tracks, especially in the area near the north, which is the area that Liu Bei focuses on. If the infantry rides on the track carriage If it's not, the maneuverability is not much worse than that of cavalry, so I think Liu Bei can fight!"

"Tianzhu's human resources and natural resources have been exploited in large quantities. At the same time, the gold collected by Liu Bei has been used by us to buy a large amount of machinery and equipment, and to open military factories, steel factories, weapons factories and other factories related to military equipment. Especially Liu Bei is getting After adopting our blast furnace technology, Tianzhu's steel production is increasing every year."

Dagan relied on its strong industrial power to provide hundreds of thousands of armored troops, and it was the God of War's powerful artillery that was able to be invincible in the chaotic times of the end of Han Dynasty, so they all clearly understood the strength of industrial power.

Instead, Li Gang said: "Liu Bei's strength is not bad. He has been in Tianzhu for several years. During this time, he has collected thousands of years of wealth in Tianzhu. Since we work hard, we can trade tens of billions of goods with Liu Bei every year. You can see what a fortune this is.”

"With Liu Bei's wealth, not to mention buying our retired armor and weapons, he also recruited a large number of industrial talents to help him develop industries in Tianzhu. From what I have learned, because Liu Bei is not short of money, he is at the peak of Tianzhu's industrial development. Hurry up, especially after he abolished slavery and equalization of land in Tianzhu, the people of Tianzhu have agreed with Liu Bei's rule."

And Liu Bei is also one of the emperors at the end of Han Dynasty, so there is no need to doubt his ability, not to mention that Liu Bei in this timeline is still an enhanced version. It is also possible to annex Guishuang in one fell swoop. What is the outcome of the first battle!
At this time, Xu Wei misses the telephone in his own world a little bit, but he also knows that it is difficult for the telephone to appear in this world without hundreds of years of hard work. Wireless telegraphy is a possibility, but he doesn't know much about wireless telegraphy. What seems to be two copper wires in a glass bottle, which can send out a signal after an electric shock?
Wang Lei said firmly: "For us, it is unacceptable for any party to win and then annex and deal with the territory. This will make us a superpower in the west and affect our domination of the world. , for Daqian, it is best for both sides to fight to lose both sides!"

"Huge investment has led to the development of the entire Tianzhu industry, especially the development of military industry can directly enhance Liu Bei's force. We all know that it is impossible for an army without artillery to fight against an army with artillery. It is impossible for an army wearing leather armor. It is an iron-armored opponent, from this aspect, Liu Bei has two advantages, as long as these two points are brought into play, it may not be impossible to defeat the Guishuang Empire!"

After all, they can only guess out of thin air here. Xu Wei knows that Guishuang is one of the four famous empires in history, and it is still in the strongest period of Guishuang, so it is not surprising that Guishuang won.

Xu Wei said regretfully: "We are too far away from Tianzhu, it is difficult to quickly get news from Tianzhu!"

Wang Ge smiled wryly and said: "This is the most difficult thing to happen. If we want this situation to happen, we have to make a lot of preparations and give support when one side loses, but we are tens of thousands of miles away from Tianzhu. Yao, it is too difficult to accurately control the situation in Tianzhu!"

Wang Lei thought for a while and said: "Instead of worrying about gains and losses in Jidu, we should take the initiative to attack! These years, Duan Peng, Duan Yun, and Liu Hu have established their country in the Western Regions, and their strength is becoming stronger and stronger. We can let them form a coalition to capture the Guishuang Empire. First, even if Liu Bei wins, we can keep Liu Bei out of the Western Regions in advance, and if Liu Bei loses, we can also support Liu Bei so that Liu Bei will not be driven out of Tianzhu!"

Heroes like Duan Peng who were born in the grasslands don’t like islands, so when they chose the place to build the country, they chose the Western Regions, and Xu Wei also wanted to strengthen the power of Daqian in the Western Regions, so he also supported them in the Western Regions The founding of the country.

As a result, a large number of indigenous countries in the Western Regions died out, and all the remaining countries were pioneered by great efforts!
