Chapter 1224: The trouble caused by the Qiang

The surface fighting in the south is escalating, and Qin has also encountered a new situation.

The General Staff of Qin State. The intelligence department is the most tense and busiest department.

"Damn it, this telegram actually delivered such a message." A major officer came over urgently at this time and said.

"Something has happened. The general must know about this matter." The major officer immediately sent the telegram to the head of the office, who saw it. Very surprised. Surprised to the point of unbelievable.

"This is really a big deal. We have to tell the chief of staff." The chief of staff immediately stood up and said.

Then he hurried to Wang Jian's office. Then he gave this telegram to Wang Jian for review.

"Qiang people?" Wang Jian asked suspiciously at this time.

"Yes, sir." The colonel said at this time.

"They are to our southwest." The colonel said at this time.

"I know, but the problem is our current situation." Wang Jian said in a somewhat unbelievable way.

"Forget it, we have to tell the king about this question. This is not something we can know by ourselves." Wang Jian said at this time.

"Is there an exact telegram report? The more detailed the better. We need to know the details." At this time, Wang Jian said.

"Let's sort it out now," the colonel said at this time.

"The more detailed the better," Wang Jian said while looking at the telegram. At this time, Wang Jian thought of many things in his mind. This war is very unfavorable to them.

"Qiang. Damn Qiang." Wang Jian said at this time. Wang Jian looked helpless.

"We will spend a lot of resources on endless foreign warfare. How can the reunification of the Qin State be achieved?" Wang Jian said worriedly.

The information was quickly sorted out, and some details of the battle were also transmitted in the form of telegrams.

Qin's overall defense situation is very pessimistic. A line of defense pushed in parallel along the Qilian Mountains. There have been many loopholes, and the leaks of these loopholes have caused the entire line of defense to shake. The Qin Army's First Infantry Division is vigorously maintaining their line of defense, but there are still big loopholes in their line of defense.

Qiang people, especially the highland Qiang people. Or the Qiang people on the plateau, they had a great impact on the defense line carefully constructed by the Qin army.

Facing the defense line carefully constructed by the Qin Army, they seemed so helpless at first, and they gathered a large number of soldiers and horses to stagnate in the defense line of the Qin Army. They tried several times, and the Qiangs were exceptionally brave, but bravery could not replace their huge casualties.

After paying the huge cost of casualties. The Qiang finally stopped their crazy offensive. At the price of blood, they finally understood that the Qin people's fortifications would drain their blood. Even if their blood was drained, they couldn't shake this solid fortification. The fortifications of the Qin Army were built quite tightly, especially the firepower of the fortifications. The Qiang people will face the fortifications scientifically calculated by the Qin Army. Such fortifications will make them stop.

However, any fortifications have weaknesses, even the scientifically calculated Qin army's defensive weaknesses, but the Qiang people are not smart, on the contrary, their ideas are very direct.

They use long-haired cows. That is, the yak on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau launched the attack. They drove groups of yaks into the Qin army's position.

Barbed wire, land mines, and machine gun cross-fire shooting are of no use to this crazy animal attack. They use various methods to anger the long-haired cows. These long-haired cows are like going crazy, launching a charge desperately.

The sting of the barbed wire would only provoke their desperate impact, which accelerated the collapse of the Qin army's defense line. Using the crazy charge of the yak, the Qiang finally unlocked a key to the defense line of the Qin Army, and this key instantly opened all the defensive support points for a direct attack.

The barbed wire was hit and opened a big hole, and all the mines were detonated. The barrel of the machine gun was red, and the entire water tank was boiled. A bullet cannot be fired.

The infantry was charged wildly by the yak, and then the fierce Qiang was behind them, and they immediately rushed to fight the Qin army to the death. The Qin Army, who was not superior in number, soon lost their defensive support point, thinking about how terrifying the consequences.

Such tactics are being performed in many places at the same time. There were gaps of varying degrees in the defense line of the Qin Army's First Infantry Division. More and more Qiang people are reaching the Qilian Mountains through these gaps. Once they cross the Qilian Mountains, the entire Hexi Corridor will be exposed to the hands of the entire Qiang people.

The terrible thing is this, the long and narrow Hexi Corridor will be stuck tightly by the Qiang people from the Qin people's neck leading to the Western Regions. The people of Qin absolutely don't allow this to happen.

"This is the situation. The Qiang people we face are posing a deadly threat to us. According to our intelligence, the Qiang people have gathered about 100,000 people, and they are extremely fierce and pose a great threat to us." at this time. Wang Jian took the report and said.

"These Qiang people." King Qin said after hearing the report.

Shang Wen frowned. Shangwen believes that this will be another war. War meant that Qin had to pay large sums of expenses, especially war expenses.

"This is another expensive war cost. The opponent is 100,000 people, and our defense force in that direction is only more than 10,000 people." Shang Wen said with some complaints at this time.

"It's not 10,000 people, but a combat unit with less than 8,000 people. The situation there is already terrible. Their defenses are very wide, and there are no mobile units," Wang Jian added at this time.

"We don't have any reserve team yet. The 3rd Infantry Division has been sent out and there is no way to close it. Moreover, military expenditures are being extremely compressed. There is a plateau where air power is difficult to deploy and the restrictions are very large. In short, the situation is very serious. Bad." Wang Jian said to Shangwen at this time. And Shang Wen could only listen, he could not make any measures.

"Finance is undergoing reforms, and the banking alliance is progressing slowly. Qin’s large and small banks are undergoing mergers and reorganizations. We can only inject capital after they have completed the reorganization, although we have already begun to acquire bonds from the public and some banks. However, the injected capital is only to stabilize the situation, and the whole situation has not improved much for us." Shangwen said at this time.

"That is, it is difficult for the military expenditure to be in place in a short time?" At this time, Wang Jian asked.

"Yes." Shang Wen replied.

"We have not yet been able to use the bond issuance to raise funds, you have to know. There are still quite a lot of bonds in circulation in the market. We have not been able to recover them yet." Shang Wen said at this time.

"There is also the issue of soldiers." Shang Wen said at this time.

"We have no soldiers on hand to supplement. We don't know how long our 1st Infantry Division can last, whether they can maintain it, and the arrival of new troops. Now Qin has a large territory. This is for us. It is disaster. We lack enough troops to defend." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Your Majesty, the final admiral thinks that Qin can't continue like this. The long-term war consumes and consumes Qin's national strength. Although Qin's national strength has increased for a while, the number of foreign wars by Qin is far more than before. I'm already powerless to get out of the world." At this time, Wang Jian excitedly pointed out the problem.

"En." Shang Wen said he didn't understand.

"Qin's current surrounding situation is like this." Shang Wen said.

"Endless wars have allowed our national strength to grow, and at the same time, they have also brought us trouble. But don't forget. Opportunities and challenges coexist at the same time. Now is the time to test us." Shang Wen said confidently. .

When King Qin heard Shang Wen's words, he suddenly felt a little funny.

The ministers around him felt very helpless with Shangwen's words. Sometimes Shangwen was too naive in politics.

"Our problem now is that there is no money, no one." Shang Wen said.

"The most critical issue is money. Our finance has just suffered a heavy blow. We not only need to regain our strength, but at the same time, we must rejuvenate our financial system with its due vitality." Shang Wen said at this time.

"When can finance provide us with money?" Wang Jian asked Shangwen unceremoniously at this time.

"This is not accurate." Shang Wen replied helplessly.

"The financial system is now in a mess. The banks you know are undergoing mergers and reorganizations. Their funds are intensively used for mergers." Shang Wen said at this time.

"That is to say. Our situation. It takes a long time." Shang Wen said.

"In that case, the Qiang will hit Xianyang." At this time, Yang Duanhe said a little annoyed. For Shang Wen's answer. Yang Duanhe felt very dissatisfied.

"Oh." Shang Wen shrugged.

"What we can do is to speed up bank restructuring and mergers. Then inject capital. At the same time, buy their stocks and bonds. Let them become part of the country's enterprises." Shang Wen said at this time.

"The question is, what should we do now?" Wang Jian asked.

"Now, we can only wait until the financial reform is completed." Shang Wen said.

But Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe expressed their helplessness.

"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Once there is a problem in the entire Hexi Corridor, Qin's Western Regions will be lost. That is Qin's land, and Qin needs to maintain its own land." King Qin said at this time.

While everyone is listening respectfully, Shang Wen is thinking about another question. How much trouble the Qiang people will cause.

And Wang Jian was thinking about the soldiers. For him, he will have no soldiers to adjust. He didn't know which direction he could draw troops from.

Finally, he thought of mercenaries. The mercenaries of those minorities.
