Chapter 1006: Vague Qi Guozi

The Marine Corps did not express any stance, they are already involved in the war. In the Western Regions, they have half of their troops on defense, while in the East, their foreign garrisons have just been released. There are still some places where the Qin Marine Corps needs to strengthen defenses, especially in the eastern region. The situation and the situation are changing. Soldiers of the Marine Corps need to defend the interests of Qin merchants abroad. They are the only military power of Qin State abroad.

The chiefs of staff of the major services are telling their own difficulties, and no one wants to cut most of their own funding. Everyone opposes cutting military expenditures. The army depends only on military expenditures. After the new military reforms, military expenditures will be directly linked to the combat effectiveness of the troops. The Qin State has four major branches of the military. The reserve was temporarily reduced to the reserve teams of various services. Military expenditures will be very large. The State of Qin needs to make further improvements in this regard.

"The meeting is over." Wang Jian looked at the noisy chiefs of staff. Announce the adjournment directly. Wang Jian was the first to come out, and he had anticipated the reaction of the various military services a long time ago. Because the last time military spending was cut. They are so noisy. And this time, they even came to this set.

Wang Jian is actually unwilling to cut military spending. However, Shang Wen explained in detail the various reasons for cutting military expenditures. A large part of government expenditure is war expenditure, which is very detrimental to the operation of the government. Therefore, the State of Qin needs to make a drastic reduction in military expenditures.

King Qin's attitude towards the reduction of military expenditures was unclear. He just asked Shang Wen to do it boldly, whether he opposed it or supported it. There was no further support, although he did support Shang Wen in doing so. However, King Qin was still very concerned about Qin's armed forces. Cutting military expenditures can be done, but King Qin’s bottom line is that Qin’s armed forces need to maintain this deterrent effect.

King Qin was seeing whether Shangwen could notice this. If he fails to do a little, then he will interfere with Shangwen's policy.

Shangwen's reform needs to withstand pressure from all parties. The reform of a country requires adjustment of the forces of all parties. And Shang Wen is embarking on such a path. However, some things tend to add some chaos.

In the north of Qin State. Qin State has just put down the slave riots. About half of the wealth in the north of Qin was destroyed by the riots, most of which were slave wealth. The Qin army slaughtered millions of slaves. No historian has accurate information to provide specific numbers, and conservative estimates are about one million. This is a pretty terrifying number. The Qin army used advanced weapons to slaughter a large number of slaves in an extreme period of time. This is also the reason why the grassland is very calm. Because of the massive decline in population.

The blood of the slave rebellion has not yet drained, and the slaves have not been relieved from this terrible massacre. The butcher knife of Qin's army hadn't dried the blood on it. Meng Tian received an urgent telegram from eastern Liaodong.

"Has the content of this telegram been verified?" Meng Tian asked, sitting behind his desk.

"It has been confirmed." A captain's officer replied respectfully.

"Does any other information show?" Meng Tian asked.

"No, our intelligence officers are moving in that direction. In addition, we need to exclude the scouts for detailed reconnaissance." The captain said.

"No, I don't want to hear this. I want to know where the North Korean musketeers got their muskets." Meng Tian asked directly.

"This, we don't know. Our intelligence agent is investigating this situation." The captain said.

"Have you not found out the information in this area?" Meng Tian asked a little annoyed at this time.

"Here." The captain said with some difficulty at this time.

"Bang Bang. Bang Bang." There was a knock on the door at this time.

"Come in." Meng Tian said, looking at the lieutenant.

"Sir. There is a new situation." A lieutenant colonel hurried in with a stack of documents anxiously.

"What's the situation? What's the matter?" Meng Tian asked.

"Yes, North Korea. We investigated this." At this time, the lieutenant colonel took out a folder and said.

"What is that?" Meng Tian asked. The lieutenant colonel looked at the captain at this moment.

"You go out first." Meng Tian said.

"Yes, sir." The captain exited in embarrassment.

"Wait." Meng Tian stopped the captain at this moment.

"I hope you can provide a detailed report." Meng Tian said.

"Yes, sir. I understand." said the captain.

"Very good." Meng Tian replied.

With the withdrawal of the captain, Meng Tian moved to Lieutenant Colonel here again.

"What's the matter?" Meng Tian asked.

"We found this." At this time, the lieutenant colonel took out a folder, and then pulled out a stack of photos.

"Look at this. We found this." At this time the lieutenant colonel took out the photo and placed it on Meng Tian's table.

"What is this?" Meng Tian looked at the lieutenant colonel suspiciously.

"Mainly this." At this time, the lieutenant colonel took out a photo and pointed to the blurry text on it.

"This is?" Meng Tian said as he looked at the photo.

"This is the Qi language. These are all photos we took with the firearms in the hands of those North Koreans that we captured." At this time, the lieutenant colonel.

"Where did these photos come from?" Meng Tian asked.

"This is a journalist friend of mine. He joined the army in his early years and was later disarmed. He taught himself journalism and became a reporter," said the lieutenant colonel.

"He interviewed in the eastern part of Liaodong and took such a set of photos. He discovered by accident. He thought these things had military value and sent them to me," said the lieutenant colonel.

"En. Your friend can be an intelligence officer." Meng Tian said at this time.

"Hehe." The lieutenant colonel just nodded.

"I need to explain the content of these photos." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"En. You can explain it." Meng Tian said at this time.

"I have found out a lot of information, this text is Qi country text." The lieutenant colonel said.

"Although the text on the musket has been polished, it can still be clearly seen that it is written in Qi country." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"You mean, this is a weapon given by Qi Guo." Meng Tian asked with certainty at this time.

"Yes. And, I checked all the photos taken by the muskets in detail. I came to such a bold conclusion." At this time, the lieutenant colonel looked at Meng Tian and said.

"What conclusion?" Meng Tian asked.

"These muskets, it is very likely that more than 80% were made by Qi Guo himself." The lieutenant colonel looked at Meng Tian and said.

"What?" Meng Tian asked, looking at the lieutenant colonel in surprise.

"Yes, sir, these weapons are probably made by the Qi people themselves, and they are very likely to sell the weapons to the North Koreans." The lieutenant colonel came to such a conclusion.

"Do you think this is possible?" Meng Tian asked.

"Very likely." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"Steel, these things are very easy for Qi country to get from us. Moreover, the principle, as long as some guns are disassembled, they can easily understand the principle. As for gunpowder, they can import from us." At this time, the lieutenant colonel analyzed. Tao.

"The principle of the flintlock is very simple. Even soldiers who have just joined the army, as long as they understand the principle, they can imitate it." said the lieutenant colonel.

"En." Meng Tian said.

"Moreover, a reporter friend of mine said that in South Korea, South Korea can produce these flintlock parts on a certain scale. For example, firing springs and so on. These things are likely to be distributed to Qi." The lieutenant colonel was serious. Said.

"So, how did the North Koreans get these weapons?" Meng Tian asked at this time.

"I think it is very likely to rely on this." This time. The lieutenant colonel produced a suggested map. Pointed to the blue part above.

"On the sea?" Meng Tian asked.

"Yes, it's sea, they are probably transported by sea." The lieutenant colonel said with certainty at this time.

"The people of Qi and the North Koreans have joined forces," Meng Tian said.

"Although we have no signs to explain this situation. However, a lot of intelligence has corroborated our views." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"This is the information I got from the security company. Since the beginning of last month, we have encountered the interference of the opponent's musketeers. It has caused certain casualties to our security personnel. However, they have obviously not learned how to correctly. Apply musket tactics to the tactical level. The most important thing is that they don’t have artillery yet.” said the lieutenant colonel.

"Anyway?" Meng Tian said.

"The people of Qi have surpassed our borders." Meng Tian said.

"They are fighting together with alien races. We have the right to interfere. And launch more countries to attack them. This is what the people of Qi found themselves." Meng Tian suddenly realized. If Qi people do this, they will drag themselves into a moral quagmire.

"You immediately collect some more information. Then organize a copy of the material. Then forward it to the staff. In addition. Transfer these information to the staff one by one. Give them to deal with." Meng Tian said.

"On our flank, there is the power of Qi people. We must pull out these nails." Meng Tian looked at the map and then slapped it hard.

"Yes, sir." said the lieutenant colonel.

"You sort these things first." Meng Tian said.

"We must first deal a severe blow to Qi in diplomacy," Meng Tian said.

"These Koreans, once they use muskets, then this war will not be easy to fight. These musket threats are too great. In the past, we used muskets to suppress each other, but now that they have muskets, the war becomes bad It's done. We must stop them from using muskets. Only in this way can war benefit us." Meng Tian said while looking at the map.
