The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Qin State, Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The Goguryeo people lost this naval battle, which means they lost this war." Shang Wen said after reading a telegram from South Korea.

"Yes, it is said that they lost more than half of their warships. Despite this, they still have a greater advantage in the number of warships. However, their financial situation will fall into a huge disaster. This is for them. , Is still a big loss. Not only that, their maritime trade will be greatly affected, which will be a great loss for them.” Meng Yi said.

"Well. The key is that their problem has not been resolved." Shang Wen said.

"It seems that we need to mediate. You know. The Jeju navy also suffered heavy losses in this naval battle. It is said that half of the warships were sunk. The casualties were also very large. Neither party was able to carry out further actions. It's fighting. It will take some time for Jeju to replenish the warships. Only in this way can they solve their own problems. Because of this, we have to completely solve these problems." Shang Wen said.

"Well, let's mediate. Solve this problem." Meng Yi said. After all, the battle is for this purpose. Many things are already difficult to solve. They need diplomatic solutions to solve the problem, because the military forces of both sides have large losses, and such losses are more obvious.

Qi State, in Lou Jing's prime minister's office.

"The loss this time is huge. It seems that the Goguryeo government can hardly provide a large amount of financial funds to make up for their navy losses in a short period of time," Lou Jing said.

"Yes. But it's a pity that we used to discourage them, but they just didn't listen. Now that something like this happens, they can only blame themselves. There is no way this can be done," said the Minister of Finance. But they have made some less money, which is not a small loss for the Minister of Finance. But no matter what, their shipbuilding industry has developed. The excitement of the military industry is strong. It would be best if Goguryeo continued to fight. Unfortunately, their national power has reached its limit. There is no way to solve these things further.

"However, we can use some diplomatic methods to persecute each other next, and perhaps there are still some opportunities. We can let the people of Zhao to mediate, the Koreans can win over the people of Chu, and the people of Qin can mediate in the middle to solve these things. In this way, The two sides will inevitably have some arms competition. If this is the case, we still have a chance." Lou Jing thought about it and said.

"Yeah. Okay. Maybe this is our best opportunity right now." The Minister of Finance nodded. As far as Qi State is concerned, they can only choose this way to solve the problem. After all, through such diplomatic methods, they can get some war blackmail money. We must know that although Qi's financial situation has improved, there are many places to spend money, and they simply cannot withstand the consumption of a war.

State of Zhao, Handan. Guo Kai's prime minister's house. They are discussing some things. The first thing to resolve is not to mediate the conflict between the Goguryeo Navy and the Jeju Navy. For them, it was just a naval battle. That's it.

"Seth plans to expand the army. In fact, they have already done so. They have expanded three infantry divisions, but their military strength is still a bit tense. The two surrounding provinces controlled by the Koreans have been powered on, and they want to oppose their king. , And to overthrow their king’s tyranny. They have already begun active preparations, I think. It won’t be long before they attack. And Seth’s three infantry divisions, they still lack enough weapons and training. We must Give them time, get weapons, and get a lot of money." The Minister of Defense reported the incident. The bank minister and relevant bank representatives expressed such support. But their support is also very limited. They can provide loans of up to 200,000 gold coins. If you want to get more loans, you need to solve more problems.

"They have tried to issue domestic bonds, but the sales of bonds are very poor. Many people are unwilling to buy such things. For them, this is rubbish, waste paper. After all, they have nothing to do with their king. How much confidence, if this is the case, Seth will be in a great despair.” The Minister of Finance said. He means. The Zhao government must join in.

"This matter is temporarily set aside. Are there other things?" Guo Kai asked at this time.

"This, there is also a matter of mediation. The Qi government invited us to jointly mediate the conflict between Goguryeo and Jeju. They lost a lot. Most of the warships were sunk, and many warships suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the Jeju Navy did not seem to have any. The remaining power launched an offensive. Their warships were not many, but in this way, the Koguryo Navy is still in a disadvantageous position. South Korea and Chu have a lot of advantages. The negotiating table is not very advantageous." Minister of Finance. Introduced. This is not his business, this is the foreign minister's business, but now. He feels it is necessary to say something, he feels that the two things are related. At the very least, it is difficult for Zhao and Qi to get too much cheap in Goguryeo and Jeju, which is not a good thing for them.

"Yeah. I see." Guo Kai nodded.

"I think these two things can be solved together. The king is very dissatisfied with our military sales. I think we can give them some assistance during this period. Of course. Our assistance channel must be opened, otherwise If we do, we will be very disadvantaged. As for the financial support, that’s it. After all, the risk cannot be too great. Our goal in the first phase is to mediate. Let them fight and talk. Strive for us to gain diplomacy. A bigger victory." Guo Kai said. The Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Navy were a little surprised, because according to the previous attitude, it seems that the prime minister would not do this. But why did it suddenly become like this. In fact, it is still caused by interests and the related narrowness of the market.

Goguryeo's situation is very bad. Goguryeo's coal export has suffered a certain amount of damage. This is for them. Not good news. Qi country needs Goguryeo's resources, but Zhao country can export a large number of industrial products to Goguryeo.

In this naval battle, Goguryeo, who lost its maritime trade rights, will inevitably reduce their purchasing power. In this way, the price of industrial products will rise. If possible, Korean industrial products will enter the Goguryeo market. In this way, a very serious situation will arise. Zhao Guo’s industrial products will be squeezed by Korean industrial products. . South Korea is also actively developing its own steel industry and related construction industries, which will squeeze Zhao Guo. This is an extremely unfavorable situation. They must not let this situation develop.

Perhaps Guo Kai has realized this. Therefore, he decided to take some actions to curb the further occurrence of this situation. He decided to expand Zhao Guo's expansion in the Seth market. After all, they also need the market to make up for their losses in the Goguryeo market. Stabilize their market advantage, then, open the market in other regions. Without a market, Zhao's industry would be in an extremely unfavorable position.

"The specific approach is that the Navy and the War Department increase their assistance to the State of Seth. At the same time, control some small countries and regions in Persia and make them our important channels. The intelligence department is actively developing, and we need the country of Seth. In this case, our military industry can penetrate through Seth, and be transported to more northern regions, where we will need more arms trade and opening up this market is very important for us." Guo Kaizhe In terms of specific work arrangements, Jeju’s victory was a blow to Zhao Guo. Such a blow had to make Zhao Guo look for breakthroughs in other areas. After all, their industrial conditions are not very good either.

Seth domestic. The conscription work went very smoothly.

"More and more slaves have been freed. The king has liberated many slaves at once, and they have become commoners. Although some class consciousness has not completely disappeared, this is good news for the people. At this time, there were two armed rebellions in the surrounding area. They wanted to crusade their king. The king was very angry and mobilized many people to fight. Three infantry divisions were quickly established, but in my opinion, This is still not enough. Two soldiers can be up to 200,000 people. They are both elite troops and well-equipped. They have plenty of ammunition. They also have artillery. The king’s army can only be used by one infantry division, and the other two , They are all combat divisions with extremely shortage of equipment. They not only lack artillery, artillery. And related equipment, they also lack enough rifles, pistols, command personnel are also extremely lacking, a sergeant command an infantry company, and The number of their infantry company is as high as one hundred and fifty. Such a large number is under the command of a sergeant. It can be seen that their commanders are lacking, without experience, without weapons, and without sufficient commanding personnel. It's just a group of slaves who have just been liberated. It's whether such an army can defeat the opponent's swift and violent attack. We really don't know, but I think we will do our best to win this war. Maybe the war is so cruel, but There is no way, the enemy has already been killed. I believe that for freedom, those people will fight to the end." Zhu Li wrote.
