The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 3609: Suez Canal Pirates
The northern section of the Suez Canal is the busiest commercial shipping area because a large number of flat-bottomed merchant ships gather here. Here, part of it will be unloaded and enter Asia Minor along the coast of the Sinai Peninsula. The demand there is no worse than the demand in several aspects. And for the other part, they will directly look for the exit to the sea, of course. Their ships will be further reduced. In other words, they broke into parts and entered the Aiji through small boat smuggling.
"Why should we further change to such a boat. Isn't the channel in front not easy to follow?" South Korean businessman Yang Dao asked his guide. He is undoubtedly a very bold businessman. Because there are still a considerable number of Korean businessmen who have not arrived here, or they are united with some local smugglers, they just need some agents, but Yang Dao does not do this, he thinks he can open this business. Lu, so he brought too few goods, come here to have a look, if he can open up the situation, the next step, he will expand his scale.
"No, it's easy to walk. But it's also the most random place." said the guide.
"I think you should be clear that your Korean products are very valuable and valuable. Just one product can bring considerable wealth, and wealth is not a good thing. Because many people change because of wealth. It is extremely terrifying, they will become extremely greedy, for these things, they can kill anyone. Even their relatives." The guide said.
"Oh. This is a bit unexpected." Yang Dao was a little surprised, but he calmed down quickly. After all, such things happen frequently on commercial roads. Pirates, river pirates, and various robberies are of endless levels, and the two countries may also participate in it. This kind of thing is not new.
"Boats can bring us some security, but what I want to tell you is that this kind of security will not last for a long time, because too many pirates will do it. You Koreans are very powerful and can make A lot of weapons, but this does not bring you safety." The guide said. Their boat is ready. The guide took them out of the punt, and their voyage began. The situation is for them. It's not a very difficult thing. What is difficult is the pirates and all kinds of robbers, who are like flies. Greed drove them toward those goods.
In this way, they left the pier and sailed for only an hour, and they encountered something they couldn't believe.
"Our boat has moved forward about a piece of news. Our fleet has only three boats and there is not a lot of cargo. This is a big advantage for us. This is very important to us, and we still need to go three times. It takes an hour’s voyage to reach the next destination, a small pier. There are many merchant ships staying there, and they usually gather together so that they can appear safe. Of course there are some bold merchants who will walk alone. , In this case, give those pirates some opportunities. This is what we encountered." Yang Dao wrote, which was also written when he later recalled.
"We walked along the coast, and the guide is an old hand, he must be such a person. He is very familiar with everything here, but the accident still happened. In one of our coastal areas, 300 meters of our route, we Suddenly heard the gunshots. If it was not a corner, we might have fallen into it. The guide carefully concealed us. Then, we hid. The pirates are cruel. Then we learned that a group of merchant ships in front of us, They have 20 careful ships, and the number of pirates who attacked them is more than 500 people, and their number of ships is a terrifying number of more than 50. The stubborn merchants' arms caused frantic revenge from the pirates and many people were killed Death, their property was robbed. Even those who were lucky enough to surrender were killed. Because for them, such people are not worthy of continuing to live. This is their current situation. What a **** group. Guy." Yang Dao wrote.
Commercial trade is naturally risky, and this kind of risk exists, thinking that there is no way, not so many people will cause so many things. This kind of thing will inevitably cause their dissatisfaction, and this is the situation they are going to encounter at present. Despite the development of trade brought about by the Suez Canal, with the development of trade, there will always be problems of this kind, such as the problem of pirates. The emergence of pirates is accompanied by great greed. If there is no greed, there will be no results like this at all. This is inevitable.
Qin State, Xianyang, Ministry of War.
"The Prime Minister's Office has agreed to send a regiment of the Marine Corps to fight, and the Admiralty will actively cooperate with us. They are mobilizing more merchant ships and warships to solve our problems, of course. There will be more supply ships. "The Secretary of the Army looked at the report in his hand and said.
"The question is, who we want to fight. The distance between this fight is very long. The King has asked us to nominate candidates for the War Department and the Navy Department. You know, no one knows the situation there. I think, The military generals sent there must not only have strong military command capabilities, but more importantly, they also need a certain degree of political sensitivity, because only in this way can they completely solve more problems. That's how I think. "The Army Secretary said.
"According to the truth, General Wang Ben should be more competent in this matter. After all, he has had such an excellent combat experience. But the problem is that the journey of dispatching operations this time is extremely remote, and there are many things to be solved. Logistic supplies are unlikely to provide too many supplies to solve these problems. If only one colonel is sent to solve these problems, they may be in trouble." The Secretary of the Army said worriedly.
In terms of specific candidates, both the War Department and the Navy Department have their own personnel considerations. The War Department is worried that a colonel cannot govern the army, as well as political affairs, because it requires too much energy to deal with these things. The situation there is more complicated and may be difficult to resolve. They believe that at least one general should be sent there.
"However, the Navy Department believes that a general is enough. Because this shipping line has not stabilized, the dispatched Marines will still encounter various risks. If the large-scale force is rushed forward, All kinds of losses will be encountered. This kind of loss is relatively large." said the Army Undersecretary.
"This matter, submit our opinions. Let them solve the specific matters by themselves." The Secretary of the Army thought for a while and said. They considered from the perspective of army command and the establishment of a stable bridgehead.
In Xianyang Palace, King Qin was also considering this matter. At the same time, he also had to consider the opinions of the Admiralty. After all, the expedition was too far away.
"The distance to the Pacific Ocean is too far. It is very difficult to supply. Qin has never encountered such a long expedition. For us, it is a very big challenge." King Qin looked at the map and said. To.
"Yes, Lord, this situation will continue. If Qin wants to control the Americas farther away. Maybe we have to organize more such expeditions." After receiving the telegram, Wang Jian also paid close attention to this matter. Things, after all, this is the first time such a thing.
"What do you think about the selection of military commanders?" King Qin asked Wang Jian. On this matter, King Qin was still more concerned.
"My lord, I agree with the Admiralty's opinion that we can send a military general next time. In this way, risks can be avoided. In terms of personnel transportation, I do not recommend sending one regiment at once. At most, we can send two battalions. The troops go there to fight, forming a small-scale battle group." Wang Jian said.
"Tell me your opinion, I want to be clearer." Qin Wang asked.
"Yes, Lord, the advice of the Admiralty is correct. After all, this voyage requires a very large amount of logistical supplies. If we send a regiment over at once, the supply fleet will be fine. It will be very large, and the Qin State is still unable to meet such requirements. Not only that, the mobilization of the fleet and the replenishment of materials will greatly extend the time. In addition, the training of our military generals is very high. It is not easy. There is a big risk in this channel. Once it is damaged, the loss will be very huge. Qin State cannot bear such a large loss at present, and Qin State cannot do such a thing." Wang Jian said. To.
"Yeah. That's right. The widow thinks too much." King Qin thought the same as the Ministry of War at the beginning. In this way, he can show great determination. However, the problem immediately came. The people of the Qin country could not mobilize such a large fleet for the supply fleet. Not only that, but also a considerable amount of logistical supplies. These are huge problems.
But if, as Wang Jian said, they reduced the scale of their expedition, all these problems would be solved. In this way, their situation would be greatly improved. This kind of improvement is very conducive to their adjustments. Said that this kind of thing is beneficial to them. King Qin agreed with Wang Jian on this point. After all, Wang Jian is the chief of staff, and he needs to evaluate some issues from the overall perspective.
