Chapter 3820: Ready to come out

In the infantry trenches, Carthage soldiers continued to repair their trenches. In front of the trenches, they set up more obstacles and traps. They also transformed hand grenades into mines, hoping that these would be of great use to their defensive operations.

"The front is still being built, and they already know the meaning of building trenches. We built flank fortresses so that we can inflict more damage on the enemy from the side." Hannibal said to Li Wei To.

"We are already in the process of revising these. However, our strength is still lacking. The strength of the dead has not been replenished. The Celtics on the opposite side have more than 20,000 troops, and the strength of our hands is not At 3,000 people, the disparity in military strength is too great, even if we have a technical advantage, I am afraid it will not make up much." Li Wei said.

"There is also the problem of ammunition. The grenades are no longer sufficient. If the opponent launches an offensive madly, we will be completely finished. I have told the sniper to stop provocative behavior. Sometimes I really worry that if the opponent goes crazy and attacked. If that happens, we will be completely finished. Because we can't resist their crazy blow at all." Li Wei said. The situation here is very bad. The wounded soldiers were slowly transported to the rear, and many people were killed because they were not well rescued. This was a cruel blow to morale. This blow was very terrifying to them because the soldiers were afraid of it. Combat. The level of medical care in Carthage is still limited. Many soldiers died because of wound infections. They didn't have to do so. The alcohol content of the local liquor is too low to be effectively disinfected at all, and the quantity is still small. They need to import a lot of medicines from Zhao, otherwise, their condition will be very bad.

"Don't worry, the rear has already understood our difficulties. They will supplement us with more than 3,000 people. In addition, some weapons will be added, and we will have more Musketeers." Hannibal said optimistically.

"Seriously, I'm not optimistic at all." Li Wei said.

"Yeah. I understand that what you are worried about is the ammunition problem. We have already figured out a solution. We have already given Carthage, and your cold has given generous commercial profits. Under the attraction of such profits, I think , We should have enough news to reach here. It just takes time." Hannibal said.

"What we lack is time, our ammunition reserves are too small." Li Wei said.

"Seriously, I think we should build an ammunition factory by ourselves. I don't think we can produce better ammunition. We can't produce bullets loaded in brass shells. However, gunpowder, we can produce When gunpowder comes, artillery troops also need a lot of gunpowder. I think we can produce such a gunpowder factory to meet our needs." Hannibal said.

"Okay. You are right. I almost forgot about such a thing. We need professional people to try it. I know the recipe. I will write it down for you. I hope it will be of great use to us." Li Wei Speaking helplessly. The consumption of ammunition gradually made the Carthaginian army feel tremendous pressure. Faced with such pressure, Hannibal had to find a solution. His solution was to build a gunpowder factory, even though they could not produce weapons on a large scale. , But gunpowder is not too difficult for them. This is a crucial step they have taken to solve the problem.

Yan State, within the Ministry of National Defense.

"The prince's meaning is very clear. It is to get rid of them before the **** investigation team arrives. We must not allow them to appear in the sight of the investigation team's telescope. Otherwise, our occupation of the console mountain will cause more trouble. Great disaster. Understood?" The Secretary of Defense said to one of his men.

"But sir. The mountain people report that they are unable to attack such a place. Goguryeo has powerful defensive weapons, while our mountain people are only equipped with rifles, pistols, and grenades. They are all light weapons. Face this. They cannot break the fortifications. Their suddenness has been lost, and the Goguryeo people are very tenacious in defense. They demanded that we should immediately replenish their artillery. Otherwise, they would not be able to lay down such a place." The officer reported. To.

"Damn it, where should I go to find him such a weapon. Artillery, those things, the Ministry of Finance will cling to my neck and say, there is no money." The Minister of Defense was also embarrassed. The Ministry of National Defense can only provide a small amount of funding, and the salaries of those funding personnel are not enough. Sometimes he wants to quit his job. This is the practice of trying to run the horse without letting the horse eat grass. He was completely disgusted.

"This. Sir, I can't help it." The officer said embarrassingly.

"Okay. As long as they can get it. I think of a way, maybe I can find some artillery for them. That's it." The Secretary of Defense said annoyedly. He felt that he could find some old weapons for them from the old munitions warehouse, and who asked the Ministry of Finance to not give them more war funds. All they can do is use this method.

Chu State, Pengcheng. Inside the Prime Minister's Office.

"The king is very dissatisfied with our military operations in Myanmar, procrastination, inefficiency, and no offensive ability, which annoys the king." Fan Zeng said to the defense minister.

"Sir, there is no way. First of all, our funds are not sufficient. Although the Vietnamese troops are very brave in combat, they also lack enough funds to stimulate their enthusiasm for combat. At the same time, the cottonmen seem to have won the Qi people. Their tactics have become more guerrilla and uncertain, which is also a disadvantage for us. Therefore, this kind of battle has caused us to be undecided for a long time. It can be said that these are all reasons. Prime Minister." National Defense. Said the minister.

"I don't care what these reasons are. What I need is a victory. The king is already very dissatisfied with me. I need you to launch an attack immediately, no matter what? Eliminate more cottonmen. That's it. Launch an attack immediately. , The sooner the better." Fan Zeng seemed to say anxiously. Indeed, he was really anxious. The state of Burma directly affected the financial situation of the empire, which would cause major problems for the Chu economy as a whole. This was what the King of Chu was worried about, and the same was true for Fan Zeng. Therefore, Fan Zeng was even more anxious. In his position, he had to be anxious. This made the Minister of Defense feel that Fan Zeng was too anxious about what he did. This might lead to subsequent failures. He felt that things were still very bad for Chu State.

But now, the Prime Minister does not want to hear that this is the case. They can only encourage local troops to launch an offensive. Soon such an order was passed on. Wrong commands can lead to wrong results. This kind of thing, that's it, sometimes it could have been avoided. But the result is that the result that should have been avoided, the result has not been avoided.

Qin State Motor Vehicle Association.

"This will be the greatest invention in history." A moderator introduced. What they introduced was the first turbocharged car manufactured by Pegasus Motor Vehicle. The horsepower provided by this car will reach an astonishing 150 horsepower. The strong power can make the car reach very fast speeds, of course. Up. The tire wear rate is also accelerating, not to mention the rate of production is quite amazing.

"Turbocharging, this is not a rare technology." Representatives of other car companies at the show said with little interest.

They have made great progress in engine research. Turbocharging technology is such a technology. Before, there were experimental products that used turbocharging technology in motor vehicles, but the problem was that there was no matching technology. With tires, it is difficult to use such an excellent engine. In desperation, many engine research laboratories and factories have focused on another industry, aviation. However, there are still not many orders in the aviation industry, so it will be difficult to stimulate Qin's domestic production. In this regard, many factories complain that the current economic policies are not good.

"I think Cheng should pay attention to this. We have very developed aviation industry technology, but the overall demand is indeed very low. This is very bad for Qin. This is not a good thing. If this continues, , Our company, the company has to look for orders elsewhere." A technical researcher was very dissatisfied with the not many military orders and private orders at the exhibition. But they can't say anything.

"Relax. I believe this problem will be resolved soon." A middle-aged man came over and said.

"Solved?" the technician asked. He felt that Qin's current economic needs had become too low. In this case, it is not a very good result for Qin.

"The Aviation Association and the Motor Vehicle Association have jointly submitted a report. They believe that it is necessary to build more aviation airports and more automobile demand throughout Qin, which will drive more economic development in Qin. They believe that Cheng's demand is very large." The middle-aged man said.

"Is the prime minister interested?" the other party asked.

"I believe it will be of interest. You know, at present, Qin State has a large amount of oil supply, the price of steel is not expensive, and the mechanical processing is mature, but without consumption, these factories will be in a state of standstill, although the railway can pull Part of it, but what will happen if Qin does not maintain a strong and advanced industry? Qin will fall behind, and the king will be so worried. The prime minister must be responsible to Qin, and, the prime minister, I think we should I believe that the prime minister, the prime minister’s market perception is very keen, he almost all predicted all accurate industries, military industry, railways, mineral resources, steel, shipbuilding, etc.. These Qin countries are under construction, and it is Qin’s retreat. Yes. Now, Qin must do the same." The middle-aged man said. The technical researcher just nodded. He would not simply believe that the prime minister can solve all the problems and that the market boost is the key.

Inside the prime minister's house.

"I think this report is very valuable. For the future industry, Qin has led all countries to various future industries. Qin represents the future. This is a very good judgment, but such a judgment requires our own To prove that this is very important to us." Meng Yi said.

"The question is, where is the demand for the development of the aviation and motor vehicle industries, that is, where is the demand for automobiles? How do we drive them to develop like this? Are they proactively releasing water like South Korea's Zhao Guo? Or, proactively driving such demand. I think In this matter, financial services must be provided. Without such financial services, this cannot be done at all." Shang Wen said.

"Well, I believe they will consider this way. At present, every household in the Qin country has a certain amount of deposits. This is a report from the bank. If it is really needed, we can provide a part of the loan, and this demand will become strong. We In the north, there are too many horse farms. In some remote areas, carriage transportation still occupies a large part. If we can promote such a way to change the past, our cars, steel, and machining will bring us Rich profits. At present, Zhao and South Korea both have such industries, but their scale is small, and we need such a scale. The aviation industry is like this. Qin now has a vast territory and the speed of railways is fast, but he It is no longer able to meet Qin's needs. I think that under the right circumstances, there should indeed be such a need." Meng Yi said.

"Well. It seems that we need to study it. You are right. Qin has been leading the development of industries in various countries. This is an advanced, and Qin needs such an advanced." Shang Wen said.

"At the same time, we also need to point out that the benefits of machinery and various motor vehicles are obvious to the development of Qin. It can lead to greater development of Qin. This kind of development is an advanced development for Qin. . Therefore, the State of Qin needs such an advanced method to solve the problem." Shang Wen said.

"So." Meng Yi looked at and said.

"So, we need to convene an industry-related economic conference to give great support in this regard. For example, other industry support also needs support, not only aviation, automobiles, but also the development of the semiconductor industry." Shang Wen said To. It seems that Qin has accumulated a foundation for further development, and this foundation has allowed Qin to take a step forward, and this demand is about to emerge. Shangwen must meet this kind of development, which is very crucial to Qin State. All, Qin State needs to do this and accomplish this kind of thing.
