Chapter 3437: Oil city

"It's not enough to hold on. We have no strength. The **** Karachi are still increasing." A wounded second-class soldier reported to his officer. Many people died. But Karachi people are still increasing, which is a huge disaster for them.

"Damn it, retreat, retreat." Although Captain Yankee is helpless, he wants to defend here. He also knows what it means to defend this line of defense, but they don't have the strength and there are not enough people to defend here. They simply do it. Less than this. He can only give such orders. In fact, when he gave this order, they had already collapsed for several periods. The troops are getting less and less, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, which will aggravate the weak strength of the Yueshi people, and the whole position is too much in need of people. But they cannot provide more people to participate in such battles. Therefore, the Yueshi must give up such a position.

"Retreat quickly. Retreat." Captain Yankee shouted. But few soldiers retreated. The Karachi people launched a chase without hesitation. As a result, the Yue people didn't even defend the fourth line of defense. They retreated directly to the town. This situation was very unacceptable for them.

The strength of the Yueshi people is too thin. After this offensive and defensive battle, they may only retreat a few hundred people. This is only an extremely optimistic figure, and in fact it is far lower than such a figure. For them, this is the most difficult place to accept. War is like this. No one cares about these things, and no one cares about these things. In their opinion, it's just a war.

Qi State, Laizhou. Inside the Admiralty.

"The situation of the Goguryeo navy is very bad. Jeju pirates have deployed a large number of mines near the main channel, and the transportation of minerals in Goguryeo relies heavily on this channel. Therefore, they hope to take some measures to solve this problem as soon as possible." The Secretary of the Navy arrived at the meeting. At present, all countries do not have good anti-mine equipment. After a large number of mines are deployed, few people can directly dismantle the mines. Of course. Not all sea lanes will be equipped with mines. One side of the arrangement will leave some passages near some key sea lanes. In this way, they can let the other side's merchant ships leave money for road purchases. Such tactics are especially suitable for those pirates. But this seriously affected the foreign trade of Goguryeo, because they mainly exported a large amount of mineral resources, wood, medicinal materials, as well as various furs, leather products, and labor output, and the deployment of a large number of mines has seriously affected the foreign trade of Goguryeo. Originally, they hoped to export a large amount of mineral resources in exchange for more foreign exchange, but the current situation makes them extremely bad. They hope that Qi will come up with some good methods.

"Sir, this is a technical problem. At present, we do not have a good way to deal with mines. However, we are studying, and there will be related and anti-mine weapons soon. If this is the case, we can do well. To change the current situation.” An officer stood up and said.

"Okay. It can only be so. However, the Goguryeo Navy plans to comprehensively solve the navy on Jeju Island. They are mobilizing related warships. Therefore, they need to order more warships from us to help them train more naval personnel. Point, we have signed the relevant agreement, which is a very advantageous clause for us, which will greatly improve the current situation of our navy’s response." The Secretary of the Navy said.

"We are not opposed to this, but the problem is that in a short period of time, it is unlikely that the Goguryeo navy will rise to a higher level. The navy cannot be solved by equipping more warships at once." A navy colonel eased. Speaking of. He thinks it is difficult to do such a thing. But the Secretary of the Navy naturally has his own way.

"Sir, we should be more careful. Behind the Jeju pirates are supported by the people of Chu, and a large number of destroyers are manufactured by them and transported to the front line. This is a huge threat to us. Such a threat exists to us. In terms of it, it's quite large." said a naval officer. The Qi State Navy passed the investigation by the intelligence department. They finally knew where the advanced warships in the hands of Jeju pirates came from. Chu and Chu’s shipyards are building a large number of destroyers. This is what they learned after the last investigation. Not only that, but they are not only building a large number of destroyers. New-style warships also secretly dispatch some trainee officers to serve as military advisers. In fact, these advisers will actually operate in some important military positions to conduct operations.

Although this is an analysis of the Qi State Navy, such an analysis is fully established because it is impossible for the quality of Jeju pirates to support such a large navy at once. They cannot do this. Therefore, for them, the people of Chu that can really accomplish this kind of thing should be the people of Chu who have given the greatest support in terms of personnel behind them. Faced with such support, Qi should also make some adjustments in this way, but some military officers are worried. If you do this, it will excessively stimulate the nerves of the Chu people. After all, the benefits of arms sales are also huge.

"I know this. Therefore, we can only provide some threatening weapons. For the attack on Jeju Island, I think we should not participate in it." The Secretary of the Navy stated the bottom line of the Qi State Navy. This bottom line is made after detailed analysis and benefit analysis. If Qi State participates in the attack on Jeju Island, then it may cause dissatisfaction among Chu people, and Chu people will inevitably send troops to help Jeju Island. The pirates guarded there. It was the den of Jeju pirates. Once there was occupied, the whole situation would become extremely passive. For them, it was simply a disaster. The Chu State Council lost a large amount of military sales orders. The Chu people would never leave it alone.

"In this way, sir, our people are going to the Koguryo Navy?" a navy colonel asked in a low voice. He felt that it was impulsive to do so, but it was understandable. After all, such things were relatively acceptable to them.

"Yes, this is something that has already been decided, don't mention it again. We have already decided on such a thing." The Secretary of the Navy decided. More naval officers believe that they don't know what will happen to such a thing, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, they themselves don't know.

However, some officers of the Qi State Navy will definitely join the Goguryeo Navy. If necessary, they may also participate in new operations.

Outside the city, inside Wang Ben's headquarters, two military policemen came here with a middle-aged Yueshi man.

"Sir, he said that he himself is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Yue's Cabinet, and he can talk to the Yue's government." The Chief of Staff said to Wang Ben.

"Talk about it? What to talk about?" Wang Ben asked his chief of staff curiously.

"I don't know this, but the other party said that they can talk about it. After all, they are still willing to do such a thing." The Chief of Staff said.

"The above hopes that we will stop the offensive and maintain the current state. Indeed, we must accept this well, and at the same time let the Yue's government recognize the fact that the situation of Yue's people is indeed very bad. Diplomatically, we are in a difficult situation. In a favorable state." Wang Ben said.

"So, let's talk to them, but we must let them tell us how to do it." Wang Ben is very clear that in the military, they must strive for the initiative, and naturally they must strive for the initiative in diplomacy, but the initiative is not to let themselves do it. Put forward conditions, on the contrary, he should let the other party put forward such conditions. In this case, you will put yourself in a favorable position.

"Let’s talk about it, this Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Yue family." Wang Ben met with the other party immediately, but he was not interested in knowing the other’s name. This may seem very impolite, but only in this way can it be shown that the Yue family’s people are currently The situation is not the best, which makes them feel even worse.

"This. We. We can recognize the current vested interests of the State of Qin." The Foreign Minister said after thinking about it. If this kind of thing were to be known to all Yueshi people, he estimated that he would definitely not be able to live, because no one would be willing to admit such a thing, which would make them more passive, and no one would admit such a thing.

"This, we have already got it. This is just a basis for the conversation between the two sides. It's just the basis." Wang Ben said.

"This. Well, the current situation of Yueshi is very unoptimistic, and we all know this." Yueshi's Foreign Minister took a deep breath. He felt that he had relaxed a lot, and he should continue talking. Despite many unfavorable conditions, he felt that Yueshi people should still have a reason to exist.

"We have encountered an unprecedented situation, but for now, the interests of Qin and Yue’s are still the same. Trade in the region is still unfavorable to Yue’s, and Qin’s exports are still heavily dependent on Yue’s railway. If Yue’s side is willing to give the railway to Qin for free, I think the two countries can avoid further fighting.” The Foreign Minister thought for a while and said. He knew that Qin was a very pragmatic and practical country. They paid attention to the benefits they got, not those promised benefits. The people of Qin sent troops, ostensibly for the sake of elegance. But in fact, Qin State wanted to open up more market shares. Foreign Minister Yue clearly saw this point.

"Yeah." Wang Ben nodded and agreed with the other person's opinion. Such an opinion sounds very practical, but it is very effective. This is understandable to the people of Qin.

"At the same time, Yueshi’s financial, investment, and trade restrictions can be lifted in the judicial process if necessary. In this case, as long as Yueshi’s existence is retained. Yueshi’s current situation is very different. Well, we have encountered an unprecedented enemy attack. Yueshi’s situation has entered the most difficult stage. The most difficult period in history." Yueshi’s Foreign Minister had to say so. Because such a situation does indeed exist.

This kind of conversation was basically a conversation with Yue's Minister of Foreign Affairs alone, but Wang Ben finally agreed to let the other party discuss such conditions with the Yue's cabinet by telegram, because the people of Qin State believed that such conditions were not bad.

"I agree with the Ministry of National Defense that we really can't continue to fight in depth. We have reached a distance of more than 300 kilometers in the territory of Yuezhi. This distance will make our logistics supplies difficult. At the same time, the worst point is, We only have two infantry divisions, and these infantry divisions need to be stationed separately along the railway. We have not grasped the areas controlled by the Yue people in other areas. If we continue to let such dangerous things continue to happen, our situation But it's really very bad. We can't let such things continue to happen, otherwise, it will cause us a very bad situation." Wang Ben said. This is also an important reason why he agreed to talk with the Yueshi people.

Parthsian Kingdom, the coastal area of ​​the Caspian Sea, here, two small towns rose up at once. They are all immigrants from the Rest, Qin people, and Dawan people. The Qin people are stationed here at the bank. They provide commercial loans. Not everyone can get the loan. The first is that they must be a person of the Shahid Military Party, who can hold real power, because only such a person can have the ability to develop. Oil, oil will bring them a lot of wealth.

The Dawan people control the railway, they are responsible for the transportation part, and the Shah people have the right to extract a large amount of oil, and the Qin people have the funds, they invest in it, and normalize the Shah people's oil extraction. The Qin people brought not only capital, but also technology. Some Qin businessmen chose to cooperate with the Anxi people to exploit oil. In this way, their interests could be maximized.

Two small towns were established in this way, one is called the small oil city, and the other is called the big oil city. Because the big oil city has a railway passing here, a lot of materials are stored here, so the development here is better. The small oil city has more oil resources to develop, and they have more oil extracted. It is not difficult for them to sell these oil. The wealth brought by oil is gradually making up for the financial situation of the rest-rest government, which will make them extremely relaxed.

Because the Big Oil City has a good location relationship with trade and transportation, the Big Oil City is becoming a new city. This is a city built because of oil, and its role is obviously very important. The rest are very important.
