Chapter 3812: Oh my goodness!

New Carthage. Fifty kilometers to the north. There are forests everywhere here. The formation of the Musketeers was difficult to expand, and there was a valley in the middle. The battlefield is here. The two sides confronted each other from north to south. On the one hand, there was an army of Carthage’s spearmen, combat soldiers, and elephant soldiers. They were small in number, about 5,000, and they were all improvised troops to quell the riots. They come from different commanders.

On the opposite side, the Celtics, yes, the Celtics who rebelled repeatedly, they rebelled because the Carthaginians did not give them more benefits. Under such circumstances, they can only choose this. The rebellion came.

"Our opponent is the Celtics?" Li Wei took out his binoculars to check the situation on the opposite side. Many Celtics were hiding behind the dense forest. This made them unable to see how many enemies there were. They took the initiative to attack and would bear quite a bit. More risk, because you don’t know how many people there are.

"Yes, the number is about 20,000, in fact, it may be more." Hannibal said. His cavalry force finally expanded to five hundred men, a considerable part of which came from the local Nucia cavalry. They are very belligerent. They can maintain the balance on horseback without the need for stirrups, just like the Huns. Li Wei thought so.

"And we have only 5,000 people, among them 1,200 musketeers. In addition, we are equipped with a cavalry battalion and other troops. They can only perform defensive combat missions." Li Wei put down his binoculars. Speaking of. He really couldn't see how many people there were in the forest. This war was very bad for them and it was difficult to deal with.

"That's true, so they chose me as the commander. Do you think we can win this war?" Hannibal looked at Li Wei and asked. He regarded Li Wei as his military adviser. Also a friend.

"I don't recommend proactive attack, the force is too weak. Moreover, there will be many uncertain factors. Can you see the forest over there? Who knows how many Celtics there will be, twenty thousand, I think there should be three. Ten thousand people, or more. And our military strength is seriously insufficient. Five thousand people attack the other side. Obviously it is inappropriate. We must wait for logistical help, and then continue to consume the other side, and consume the other side’s forces through defensive operations. It is time for their offensive forces to decline severely. We can release our military power to strike them severely and let them take the initiative to attack. Only then can we see their flaws." Li Wei said.

Because there are too many uncertain factors. First of all, the opponent is in the complex forest. How many troops there is can only be estimated through preliminary estimation. The reconnaissance situation has deteriorated extremely, because it requires the scouts to spend a lot of courage to detect the actual contrast of the enemy’s strength. This situation is right. For them, it's very bad. In addition, the terrain is also unfavorable. This is a river valley, and the valley area is the battlefield in the middle. Then they need to launch a feint attack. Many troops don’t know what’s going on, so they launch an offensive hastily. This is likely to cause more serious problems. The collapse comes. At that time, the entire army will be crushed. This situation is not likely to happen, but absolutely will happen. Li Wei will never attack under such a situation.

"Our strength is weak. First of all, defense is the right approach, of course. We are not simply defensive. In defense, we must integrate the army, understand and control them. Then we can defend. I recommend establishing at least three lines of defense. , Expand along the river valley, and then a series of unfolding to the top of the mountain. At least three defensive lines should be established, reserve teams should be reserved to drag the enemy, cavalry troops block the passage, and do not let them leave. The gunmen started shooting, and the cavalry units could also participate. In this case, the battle might become more intense." Li Wei suggested.

"Yeah. Just do what you said, we first build three lines of defense. From the valley to the top of the mountain." Hannibal said.

"Yeah. But there is one thing I need to point out." Li Wei looked at Hannibal and said.

"What? We should establish a correct command structure. I am talking about a staff officer. It is easy to make such mistakes by myself. If there are many people, such a mistake may be avoided." Li Wei is after all. A cautious officer of Zhao Jun.

"Okay, but at present, you know, we don't have very suitable officers. They don't know how to fight at all. Under such circumstances, to fight, I think it is still difficult for us to complete such a tactical maneuver. Yes," Hannibal said.

"Well, I understand, but my opinion is this. We can strengthen their learning through the training of the staff. Perhaps this can strengthen our training of officers. This is the best benefit we have currently received. "Li Wei said. Hannibal nodded in agreement. There are still many problems with the Carthage army. For example, they lack excellent officers, and many officers are temporary, which greatly reduces their professional performance. This is the disadvantage of mercenaries. However, if the government becomes a direct payer, it will be extremely Greatly drive the consumption of the army. This is a good market, and what they need is such a situation. Carthage has transformed too many things. They need to change such a situation to be feasible.

Zhao Guo, Handan, the decline in the stock market has brought a lot of trouble. The trouble is that many people don't know what they should do. The economic conference was held again, to be precise, this time it was dedicated to finance.

"The reason, did you find the **** reason?" Guo Kai's blood pressure rose again because the stock rose to a high level and then fell sharply. This has caused the market value to shrink again, which will seriously undermine the confidence of the stock market. This is something that Guo Kai absolutely does not allow, but something that is not allowed to happen happened. As the stock price fell, Guo Kai's blood pressure rose suddenly.

"The prime minister, it is Goguryeo. There is news from Goguryeo. The Yan people have sent troops. They occupied the stage and surrounded a force of the Goguryeo government. Their current situation is very bad and they are likely to be eaten. That force, if this is the case, the situation is very unfavorable to us. What we should do now is to eliminate this impact as much as possible. Or to provide more funds to the market. However, the market still has an impact on railway stocks. Feeling the great impact, our government needs to give out a kind of confidence, and we need to have great confidence to face such a situation." The Minister of Finance said.

"Damn Yan people, I knew they were all villains. They were average, but they still had to do something extraordinary. They were really damned." Guo Kai cursed.

"Prime Minister, please don't be angry." The assistant on the side quickly persuaded. Because Guo Kai's face showed a sickly swollen red, it showed that his blood pressure was still rising. The assistant will soon bring out some blood pressure-lowering pills.

"Okay. I don't take these **** pills. I want the stock market to rise. No matter what method is used, it is a statement that I will start a war at all costs." An angry Guo Kai said. This makes the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Army very excited.

"At the same time, we must warn the people of Yan that there are railways built by the people of Zhao, and those railway rights are part of the people of Zhao. If they dare to mess around, we must let them know how powerful we are. In terms of diplomacy, we We must support Goguryeo." Guo Kai said. The blood pressure rises, causing a feeling of bloating. Under such circumstances, Guo Kai naturally made another choice. This choice was to protect the security of his country's capital. This was a decision in the interests of Zhao Guo.

All the ministers relaxed. They knew that the people of Yan were the only obstacle to their capital expansion, because they blocked the development of Zhao Guo’s capital, and their eyes hindered the expansion of capital. This is absolutely difficult for them to understand and to do. Out of a choice.

Immediately, Zhao State issued a severe warning to Yan State, and this warning was publicly issued through diplomatic channels, which would make Yan State people feel very shameless. The people of Qin were the first to know such a thing because they also had a lot to do with the Goguryeo market. After all, many Qin capitals were also involved.

Qin State, Xianyang. Inside the prime minister's house.

"According to our survey report, we have quite a few banks and companies involved. This incident happened suddenly and some banks were not prepared for this. If this happens, the risk of the bank will increase further. If it is not controlled, the situation will further collapse of bank risks. Because the number of bonds held by banks far exceeds our expectations." The Minister of Finance said.

"Is this really the case?" Shang Wen asked the Minister of Finance.

"Yes, Prime Minister, if we don’t take action, Yan Guoren’s actions may worsen our situation. We have purchased a large number of shares of Zhao Guo Railway Company. Among them, banks hold the largest number. If the government’s bonds fall rapidly, a large amount of wealth will be converted into a kind of waste paper. The loss will be very heavy.” The Minister of Finance said.

"It seems that we must intervene in this matter. The Yan people have done a little too much. At least in the news, we should condemn them and let them understand that they will do no good if they continue to do so." Meng Yi said To.

"Well. It is true. The Central Plains country has its own certain rules, but the other party keeps challenging such rules. This will create a great disadvantage for us. What we need is to The performance of this situation has been more favorable, so under such circumstances, we should condemn and give great support in the news." Shang Wen said.

"In other words, what we need to do now is to condemn Yan's military actions diplomatically?" Meng Yi asked exactly.

"Yes. It must be done. Otherwise, they will cause a greater decline. In order to prevent such things, we still need to provide the Goguryeo government with a batch of loans that are not too many, but can play a certain role." Shang Wen Speaking of this.

"In this case, we will provoke Yan people. Do we unite Zhao Guo? We know that Zhao Guo is also involved. Zhao Guo will never stand idly by. They will do the same if they can. If the two big countries participate together, I think the situation will still be of great benefit to them.” The Minister of Finance suggested.

"Well. Well, just do this. In this case, we don't have to be overly forced to suppress." Shang Wen said. He was referring to the fact that Qin did not need to become complicated and passive for the sake of international diplomatic relations.

Soon, a statement sent diplomatic condemnation to Zhao Guoren. After all, Qin Guoren hoped that Zhao Guoren could do such a thing with Qin. This move of the people of Qin was in the midst of a decline, which made them very happy and soon. Two sternly worded diplomatic documents were handed over to Prince Dan of Yan Guo.

In the Prince's Palace, the telegram is in the hands of the Minister of Defense. He hurriedly entered the huge office of Prince Dan. The room was more than two hundred square meters. Underneath was a custom-made Persian carpet. It is said that it cost more than 5.8 million Yanyuan, which is equivalent to Qin Dynasty. Half a tael is about one million and a half tael. If the money is replaced with ammunition, it is quite impressive. Every time he came in, the Minister of Defense would walk around carefully. He felt that his foot would trample a train of ammunition on the United States.

"Haha, look at our Minister of Defense. I don’t know what kind of good news we will bring. If we have occupied Qingshan, if this is the case, we need to organize manpower to accept such a place. I think about it. , Where else can we draw such a large number of manpower. I remember. We can also draw such manpower from the south, or buy more slaves. I think it can be done.” Prince Dan said with a smile. He is drinking a glass of wine, this kind of wine from the Western Regions is expensive. The wine glass is not a glass. It is only used by cheap merchants. The wine glass of Prince Dan is carved from the finest Lantian jade.

"This. Your Royal Highness, let's take a look at this." The Minister of Defense reluctantly handed a telegram to the prince. He felt that he might have to bear more anger from the prince. How big this anger was, he was already prepared in his heart, and it might be more, anyway he had to bear it.

"Damn it. People from Qin, Zhao. Bang." Prince Dan had just finished cursing, and then he heard the sound of a broken wine glass.

"Oh. My goodness." The Secretary of Defense sighed softly.
