Chapter 1204: Natural victim

"Pay attention to the Royal Bank." Shang Wen didn't know what Yingyu meant. But I still muttered it again. Shang Wen did not attract attention. Instead, he focused his attention on Qin Guo's method of acquiring bonds to satisfy the demand for paper money in the market. The other Shangwen really didn't think so much.

However, Shang Wen is carrying out some detailed research on the bond issue, and at the same time, he will formulate a brand-new plan to replace Meng Yi's plan. In this way, the State of Qin was able to tide over the difficulties. Shangwen fell into a state of darkness and night work again.

"We want to send a special peace operations team to the front line. Let them end the war as soon as possible. Only in this way can we get rid of the current predicament." Li Mu said to the staff around him at this time.

"On this matter, I will order the General Staff to draft a report, submit it to the king, and forward it to Qin at the same time. Regardless of whether Qin agrees or not, we must end the war as soon as possible. The sooner the war ends. The better. Zhao Guo can't fight at present and doesn't want to fight anymore." At this time, Li Mu said.

"It's the sir." The surrounding officers replied.

As a result, the General Staff quickly began to draft a list, and they wanted to get this matter down as soon as possible.

"Have you read the telegram sent by Zhao Guo?" In the Qin State's staff, Wang Jian and Yang Duan and two people walked quickly down the aisle.

"Look. Zhao Guo wants to unilaterally end the war." Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes. Do you know the reason?" Wang Jian asked at this time.

"No, I don't know." Yang Duanhe said.

"I know a little bit." Wang Jian said with a smile at this time.

"Talk about it." Yang Duanhe said.

"Look at the newspapers on our street, Qin’s various banks are making a lot of noise. Now all the banks lack sufficient funds, and they put together money by name. They also began to withdraw money from foreign investments back to China, and some The loaned money was also madly transferred back. I heard that the Royal Bank wanted to withdraw a sum of 200,000 yuan. As a result, Zhao Guo was in chaos." Wang Jian said as he walked.

"Prime Minister Guo Kai of the State of Zhao was in a hurry. He almost yelled to ask Li Mu to get the money back. The people of Zhao State actually used the money for war expenses. As you can imagine, Guo Shanxi was anxious. What is it like?" Wang Jian said at this time.

"In other words, they ended the war, in fact, because they had no money." Yang Duanhe said at this time.

"Yes. They have no money. The money they can fight is from our Qin State, but they owe us money." Wang Jian said at this time.

"To be honest." At this time, Wang Jian pushed open the door of his office. Then Yang Duanhe walked in. Wang Jian closed the door.

"We should look at it from an economic point of view. This war really has no meaning to be fought. We won't get anything. If Zhao does not have the money to develop their economy, we will not get the money we want, even if it is When we occupy the state of Zhao, we have to spend dozens of times more than this amount to build the state of Zhao. Therefore, I think that for the current state of Zhao, the greater trouble is still to come." At this time, Wang Jian sat down and said.

"When did you become an economist?" Yang Duanhe asked at this time.

"There is no way. The war and the economy are too tight now. Look at these military expenditures and you will know. We have to cut a considerable part of military expenditures. These expenditures will make our arms industry stagnant." At this time, Wang Jian gave Yang Duanhe a report.

"This matter is really too much trouble." Yang Duanhe took a look and then returned the report to Wang Jian.

"Now, our situation is not too bad. You know?" Wang Jian said at this time.

"Our biggest problem at the moment is how to use this limited military expenditure to maintain the current situation. There are too many enemies around us. The situation around us is too complicated. Once our offensive stops, the surrounding ethnic minorities It will continue to harass us. This situation is very unfavorable to us." Wang Jian said.

"But our military expenditure has been cut. It has been reduced to the point where we cannot continue to maintain it. Our Qin State has such a large territory. There is still a large area in undefined areas, and these undefined areas will definitely be battlefields in the future." Wang Jian said. Gesturing on a large map at the back of the office. He pointed to the Western Regions. Then the whole north, then the northeast. Then he pointed to the southwest. There is the area of ​​the Hexi Corridor. Although Qin State has an area there to extend to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this does not mean that the Hexi Corridor is safe. The plateau is high above sea level. There are sparsely populated there. It was difficult for the soldiers of the Qin Army to stand there. The most terrible thing was that the Qiang people were found there. Qin State called them Qiang people, and they thought they were part of Qiang people. However, Shangwen prefers to be called Gaodi Qiang. In order to distinguish it from the nomadic Qiang people in the northwest, Shang Wen didn't know if there was any connection between the two. But there is a big difference between the two. Although the number of Qiang people in the highlands is not very large, according to the geographical environment, there cannot be too many people there. Shang Wen calculated it this way.

But it was quite barbaric there. The highland Qiang people there are very aggressive. They are extremely fierce. Even if the mercenaries of the Qin Kingdom have the advantage of firearms, sometimes it is difficult for them to have an absolute advantage.

"We will face a huge problem in the next year. This problem is that we have to face various defense problems, but our military expenditure is not high. We must update our weapons while maintaining combat effectiveness. , We have to deal with various situations. Our situation is terrible, but it is troublesome." Wang Jian said.

"We are not a passive defense. The main problem is that our soldiers are tense. We simply cannot raise so many soldiers." Yang Duanhe pointed out the crux of the problem.

"Too much talk. Our problem is here." Wang Jian said.

"So, an officer suggested that I do this." At this time, Wang Jian took out a report.

"The mercenary plan." Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes. The mercenary plan." Wang Jian said at this time.

"This plan says so." Wang Jian said at this time.

"At present, our military expenditure is tight. Our soldiers are paid very high. Especially when we encounter heavy war casualties. Domestic accusations will have a very negative impact on our military operations. Therefore, this report is like this. Said." Wang Jian said while flipping through the report.

"We can hire people from the Six Nations to form an army of the Six Nations, and let them take the initiative to attack the enemy at some defensive points." Wang Jian said.

"Then what about our people?" Yang Duanhe asked.

And Wang Jian beckoned him not to ask casually.

"The money spent by this six-nation army is only equivalent to the cost of a division of our Qin State, but we can get the combat capabilities of two and a half divisions. Moreover, these forces can help us eliminate our first opponents. "Wang Jian said.

"In addition, there is another plan, this plan says." Wang Jian said at this time.

"We can recruit some warlike and combative nomads as our mercenaries. We only need to promise that they will get the nationality of Qin after they have fought for how many times, and we will give them freedom. Of course, after they are free, they will also be able to obtain Qin nationality. A certain amount of property can be obtained, and we respect their choice." Wang Jian said with a report.

"We can get these troops without spending a penny." Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes, you are right. You know, at present, we are counting on the allies. It must not be long-term. Do you know? South Korea has already planned to retreat from this war with the country." Wang Jian said at this time.

"Moreover, Zhao Guo is obviously tired of fighting like this. They don't have much money to offer them to fight, even if we can lend them. They won't fight again." Wang Jian said.

"So, we can only spend money, and hire people who don't need to spend money to fight." Wang Jian said.

"Then, what about our people?" Yang Duanhe asked at this time.

"This is the crux of the problem. Our people must maintain combat effectiveness, otherwise our country will be in big trouble." Wang Jian said at this time.

"In key areas, our army has become the most important main force. We must protect our main force at all costs, and let them gain the accumulation and protection of our combat experience." Wang Jian said at this time.

"It looks like we are a little selfish." Yang Duanhe said.

"But some things can be discarded." Yang Duanhe said.

"For the mercenaries of the minority ethnic groups, we can sacrifice them mercilessly. Besides, their loyalty is worth our test. You know, there was a larger riot before it. We have extremely distrusted them." Wang Jian said at this time.

"En." Yang Duanhe understood very well. This one doesn't have to think about it. Qin will definitely use northern nomads with relatively strong combat power, such as the Huns, Hu people, or mountain people in the northeast. These people are for them. They are all excellent fighters. They are combative, brave in combat, and full of energy. They seem to be able to do nothing but fight. They are born to fight.

"Should we also give them some combat skills. For example, the use of weapons. These." At this time, Yang Duanhe asked.

"En. I will teach some, but not many, and the weapons must be different, so that we can guarantee that our status has not changed." Wang Jian said at this time.

"It seems that these people are born victims." Yang Duanhe said.
