Chapter 3474: Post-war issues

Smuggling trade is still going on on both sides of the Suez Canal in Aiji, and the Aiji government does not care about it, and they cannot control it. Because their strength cannot stop the smuggling activities here, some smuggling armed forces are more powerful than the government forces. Coupled with the further expansion of the smuggling trade, the Ethiopian government completely lost control of the Suez Canal.

"The situation is not bad. It seems that the merchants from the north suddenly realized what?" A trade representative in the Suez Canal saw with a telescope. What he saw was that a large number of slaves came here in long lines. They look very weak, but they are indeed laborers.

There are whites, blacks, and a few people in love, because their clothes are different. Although there are many types of slaves, they have only one job, building canals and opening up trade in the north, which is extremely important to them.

"Manager, in this case, our labor problem is part of the solution. After all, I think they have brought more slaves." The assistant on the side said. Recently, a large number of slaves have been transported in. A short section of the Suez Canal is still usable. They were boarded from the north to arrive here directly and then disembarked, or they would be sent to a place further south, or a large number of canals were dug nearby. But the number seems to be satisfied. Driven by huge profits, they had at least seventy to eighty thousand slaves during this period, which was much larger than before.

"No. It's not enough. The number of labors of one million is calculated strictly, and we only controlled one of them. There are still many paragraphs that have not been built, so this number will be very, very large." The manager said so. The assistant was shocked after listening. He didn't know how this number was calculated, but it was definitely scary enough.

Building a canal is a very troublesome thing.

South Korea, Xinzheng, the construction of the Suez Canal has been handed over to the Suez Canal Company. In this regard, the South Korean government will not take care of this. What they want to focus on is strategic development.

"What we should see is how the Yue people solve the problems of the Karachi people. What we can foresee in the future is that the Karachi people will lose at least half of their troops. This is an extremely heavy price for them. China’s national strength and financial situation will suffer extremely severe losses. This is an opportunity. We must see Karachi after the war and the development of the related situation.” Han Shu said to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang nodded and agreed. Politicians don't care about the war. What they care about is the situation and the situation after the war. It can be expected that the Karachi people will undoubtedly lose, because many aspects have already been shown. The Karachi people still believe that their situation is very advantageous. Under such circumstances, it gives Koreans a chance to develop.

"But the problem is that we must anticipate the passive situation of Karachi people. The more critical their situation is, the more reasonable our opportunities will become." Zhang Liang said.

"Well, what if the Yue people's counterattack enters Karachi all at once? Or, they might attack Karachi all at once? How high do you think it is?" Han Shu asked.

"This. From the current military point of view, it seems that they can eliminate Karachi's field army, but it seems unlikely that they will capture Karachi. According to the situation investigated by our ambassador, Karachi's defense is still very strong." Zhang Liang Speaking of.

"Well. We should pay close attention to this point and be prepared for the Yue people to capture Karachi. Or, we should contact the Qin people and let them control the Yue people's offensive posture. Don't let them rush too fast. We need to control there." Han Shu said.

"But the question is, what if they can't make it into Karachi City?" Zhang Liang thought of another possibility. If the Yue people suddenly attacked too violently, they might enter Karachi City all of a sudden. This possibility is not very big, but there is still such a possibility, after all, this kind of thing will happen.

The War Department’s view is that the Yue people can only destroy the Karachi field army, but if they want to attack further, they need to spend more troops. The Yue people do not have so many troops and do not have that much financial support to support them. Fight, but such a possibility should also be noted.

"So, we need to do some articles, we need to support some Karachi spokespersons, they can represent our interests." Han Shu said.

"This." Zhang Liang said puzzledly.

"I have asked the intelligence department to contact some Karachi businessmen. We have a lot of contact with them. You must know that with the development of trade, Karachi people have many independent small businessmen. Those nobles have monopolized the main trade. For small businessmen, this is not a good thing. It will greatly aggravate their living conditions. They are dissatisfied, and this war, they are the biggest victims, first of all, their shop labor They have been collected quite a lot. At the same time, a lot of war expenses and related tax collection are forced on them. They have great dissatisfaction. They have the ability to oppose the current Karachi government. What we need to do is to organize them and let them They represent their own interests, and we have to give them a certain amount of support to make them riot. In this way, we have a chance to control." Han Shu said. Han Shu's idea is to support agents and let them represent the interests of Koreans.

The current situation of the Karachi government is very bad. The high financial burden makes them have to increase taxes. However, such high taxes make some people dissatisfied, especially the small business class. The aristocracy originally monopolized most of the most profitable. Now, they are still putting a lot of war burden on them, which makes them feel very dissatisfied, but such dissatisfaction cannot be vented. They can only gradually become strong dissatisfaction and then think of using politics. To solve the problem, they have their own political demands. After all, they have to protect their property and the rights of related interests.

And such an opportunity is very difficult, because the Karachi army is largely confined outside, this opportunity is very rare. In addition, if Yuezhi takes a strong counterattack, the Karachi government will inevitably enter a severe turbulence, which will give South Korea a chance to support the forces.

"In this way, we must first stabilize the Yueshi people's posture. Only in this way can we avoid the threat from further development. This degree seems to be difficult to control." Zhang Liang thought for a while. He felt that the key issue was, And the most uncontrollable problem lies in the position of the Yueshi people's offensive point.

"Yeah. I don't think the Qin people would want to see the Karachi people completely defeated, and we must avoid such a situation. At the same time, the Yue people can't achieve this." Han Shu self-analyzed. Zhang Liang felt that he should not take such a risk.

Qin State, Xianyang. Shang Wen, Wei Liao, Meng Yi, and related officials are all discussing this issue.

"The current damage to the power of the Yue people is very great. They are unlikely to eat the main force of the Karachi people at once. Although there may be a large-scale Karachi defeat in the future, this defeat is not enough to make Yue. The Clan’s annexation of the Karachis, because the Karachis still have some power to defend, our situation is very bad in comparison. The Yue Clan’s military consumption is very huge, and our bank cannot further support Karachi. Although there are great benefits to lay down Karachi, I believe that at that time, the Koreans will definitely participate. In that case, the financial pressure of the Yue government will be transferred to the Qin State Bank. Once the bank’s funds are broken, we The economy of China will fall into a disaster. We should avoid such a situation as much as possible." Wei Liao said. For economics, Wei Liao also has a certain degree of research. In this case, he naturally considered some of Shangwen's ideas.

"Yeah. You are right, we really can't do this." Shang Wen nodded in agreement.

"There is still such a risk. After all, the Yue people have been fighting. They are able to eat the opponent's main force. I think this is already a very remarkable move. But let them lay down more territories. It's unlikely." Meng Yi agreed. Although Qin hopes that the Yue government can take the opportunity to control Karachi, because it is an important port that can help Qin go deep into the western regions, the problem is that it takes a considerable price to control there, and the power of the Yue people It has been consumed very much. It seems unlikely that they can do that. For Qin, this is a fact that must be accepted. Such a fact requires the Qin government to recognize this situation.

"The Koreans will definitely intervene. If this is the case, it is better for us to control it. Although we can do this, the power of Qin is weakening, and this kind of thing cannot continue. Qin is better off. Close, I think, the people of the Yue family will not fight. It is okay for them to surround their homes and let them solve this kind of thing further. I don't think they will do this." Shangwen said.

Although there are too many unwillingnesses, the Qin State still sensibly believes that they should not encourage the Yue army to do more adventurous military operations, and they do not recommend this. In that case, the situation will become extremely complicated.
