Chapter 3715: Can only build roads

Seth, Babylon.

"This is the latest news from the State of Qin and State of Zhao. Your Majesty, if such a conditional arms embargo is implemented, our weapon advantage will not be great. Everyone is generally equipped with a large number of rifles and pistols. In this way, combat The efficiency will be reduced a lot. From this point of view, it is extremely bad for us." A consultant said to King Seth.

"The machine gun is also within the limit?" the king asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. However, this condition will be restricted every year, for example, how many machine gun spare parts and the number of machine guns are restricted. Zhao Guo has stopped providing us with some related equipment and drawings for manufacturing machine guns. This is for us. That is very bad news. This is a disaster." The consultant said.

"Yes, disasters are indeed disasters. In this case, we don't have enough artillery. Machine guns suppress the firing of rifles. In terms of firepower, we have little advantage. This is indeed a difficult choice for us. "The king said worriedly.

"However, is there any other way to make up for such shortcomings? For example, we can import some other types of artillery to make up for our lack of firepower, and then wait for countries to release such restrictions. In addition, we have to equip some Other guns, for example, I know a gun that can be fired continuously, a rifle-like gun, he has 20 rounds of magazines, in this case, the firepower can barely suppress the firing of the rifle." The king suddenly thought of a light machine gun. After all, in the northern experiment, this kind of gun was mentioned, but there was heavy firepower at the time, and the meaning of light machine guns was not very great, but in this situation, the meaning of light machine guns is manifested. Because his firepower has become more favorable, because the overall level is reduced, the heavy machine gun can continue to effectively suppress the light machine gun, because in terms of firepower continuity, the performance of the heavy machine gun is quite perfect. However, in contrast, light machine guns are more advantageous in terms of price. Although their performance is far inferior to heavy machine guns in terms of sustained firepower, among infantry combat weapons, his firepower support and mobility are far higher. For heavy machine guns. This is also a misfortune among misfortunes.

"Okay. Maybe we need such a product, but I think the best weapon is a light machine gun that can exert the firepower of a heavy machine gun. In this case, our situation may be better. "The consultant said casually. In fact, this is an initial demand for the birth of a new type of machine gun, a general-purpose machine gun, because the Seth army cannot be equipped with heavy machine guns on a large area, but can only be equipped with lighter machine guns. Such weapons cannot match the firepower output. Heavier than machine guns, but if there is such a new weapon, they are still happy to accept it.

"We can only have a good relationship with the people of Zhao, and hope that they can provide us with such a weapon, otherwise, our situation will be greatly changed." The king said helplessly. This helpless change is that the infantry divisions of Seth are generally light infantry, rather than heavy infantry firepower nets with heavy firepower. This is simply a disaster for them.

Qin State, Xianyang.

"This is the complaint of the Yan government. But we really can't do this. The current stock market does not have sufficient funds to support a large-scale rise. Not only that, even the banks do not have much funds for investment and construction. Under the circumstances, it is difficult for us to fulfill such a demand on the railway of the Yan nationality." Meng Yi looked at the telegram sent by the Yan nationality government embarrassed and said.

"Well, maybe they can look for help from other people. For example, they can look for Koreans or Chu people. What I know is that the situation in these two countries is pretty good. Yan people can look for them to solve the problem." Shang Wen said so.

"But is this okay?" Meng Yi asked worriedly. What he was worried about was that South Korea, Chu, and Yan might reach some kind of military agreement because of such cooperation. Once a major battle occurs in the eastern part of Liaoning, who knows whether it will be quickly involved in it all at once. This is a disaster for the Central Plains region.

"This. We can't stop it, you know, unless Qin changes its monetary policy and prints more of our banknotes. In that case, it will make our situation even more crazy. Under such circumstances, Qin will Will and the Central Plains countries will be involved in a worldwide economic crisis in the future. Qin wants to avoid such a crisis. Although the current economic performance may be relatively sluggish, this can effectively prevent our economy from falling into a huge passive in the future. Among them, this is the best and effective way for us. What we need to do is such a situation. Therefore, we cannot enter it. The only way is to look at the governments of South Korea and Chu." Shang Wen said helplessly. Meng Yi nodded in agreement with this view.

Chu State, Pengcheng.

"It's okay to invest in the construction of railways, but the problem is capital. If we have enough capital, we will enter. After all, such a thing is not difficult for us. Say yes." Fan Zeng Said this to his finance minister. Regarding the Yan people’s attraction to invest in the construction of the railway, the Chu people’s attitude is the same as that of the Koreans. After all, they also need to see what the other party’s needs are. Under such circumstances, the Korean government has enough patience to wait for the Yan people to give Better conditions come. The same is true for Chu people.

"From the perspective of national security, the people of Yan will inevitably fight against Goguryeo in the future. If the construction of this railway is unsuccessful, it will greatly hinder the development of Yan, and Yan will be in an extremely difficult situation. In a wonderful state, under such circumstances, it seems that it is difficult for us to have a development process for the other party." The Minister of Finance said. He saw the unfavorable situation of the Yan people. For example, in future battles with Goguryeo, this railway will directly affect the outcome of the war. If the Yan people collapse, it will be difficult to suppress the development of the power of Goguryeo and Zhao in the Northeast. In that case, it is equivalent to letting Zhao Guoren and Goguryeo develop a large scale.

"No, you should see that if Yan people’s situation becomes better, it will make our situation very bad. Yan people are stubborn. I know them very well. Don’t look at them when they were born in the northern part of the cold. However, their tempers are also extremely stubborn. Under such circumstances, it seems that it is difficult for them to compromise with Zhao Guoren and Goguryeo. However, their national strength has to be compromised. Therefore, the best way is to find a way to make The people of Yan are in a very unfavorable state, and they are unwilling to compromise with the people of Zhao. Wherever they are, our meaning will come into play. Look, the people of Yan will let go of their stubborn temper." Fan Zeng said. . The Minister of Finance is not very clear, because he is not very good at dealing with the relationship between the country and the country, but he knows that the Yan people are in a lot of trouble.

Fan Zeng's plan is like this. When the war between Goguryeo and the Kingdom of Yan was at its strongest, they intervened with the Koreans to let the people of Yan Kingdom know their own difficulties. At the same time, they increased their hatred and hatred of the Kingdom of Goguryeo Zhao. Under such circumstances, they were in In a favorable state. After all, no one in that country would like to see such a situation appear in their country. The role of Chu and South Korea is to relieve the siege.

Yan Guo, in the office of Prince Dan.

"Does the Korean have any news?" Prince Dan walked around anxiously. He saw the Minister of Finance walk in quietly, so he asked.

"Prince, it's possible." The Minister of Finance himself doesn't know how to describe such a situation. He doesn't know whether this problem can be solved effectively. After all, the problem is still quite big. Koreans, people from Qin, Chu Chinese people do not lend them enough funds to build railways. Not only that, but railway companies in various countries are unwilling to do so. This makes their situation very bad.

"Forget it. Needless to say. I can guess what kind of situation it is. They don't borrow money, and they don't invest in such a railway, right?" Prince Dan asked.

"This, yes, your Royal Highness, I think, it may be because there are some reasons, after all, in such a situation." The Minister of Finance also wanted to comfort Prince Dan by explaining, but Prince Dan has rejected this idea.

"I see. It seems that we can only build a road to solve the problem. Just how many problems can be solved by such a road is simply a disaster. How can their transportation volume be comparable to railways?" Prince Edward Dan said worriedly.

In the case of lack of funds, the Yan people can only build a road, because the construction cost of the road can be accepted by the Yan country, but if they build a railway, their construction cost will become more unbearable. Therefore, Yan The Chinese government needs more funds to support this. In desperation, they could only choose the road, but the road transportation at this time is far from reaching the huge amount of railway transportation. Let the Yan people use a road to fight, the future situation may have decided him. Their situation. Under such a situation, it is impossible for them to achieve a changed situation. Therefore, the people of Yan are very helpless.

On the other hand, a large amount of funds entered Goguryeo to help Goguryeo complete the capital demand for railway construction, which is very beneficial to them.
