Chapter 3864: They also need the air force

New Carthage.

Hannibal's brother, Hastoro Barr, had just walked out of Hannibal's office. Li Wei looked at the other side and shook his head. He believed that Hannibal's younger brother should not be given a higher military position, or that his military command ability was not enough to deal with the current complicated situation.

"Is there any good news? My friend." Hannibal asked Levy.

"Yeah. Not for the time being. Yes, as you know, the submarine cable project is going very smoothly. If we can provide more funds, I think we can solve a lot of problems." Li Wei said.

"Haha, I'm sorry, my friend, the funds here are completely lacking. My brother just asked for an increase in military expenditures to expand the staff. I have no way. We don't have any funds to solve the problem. "Hannibal said.

"Well. Unfortunately, it seems that we still need to wait some time to solve our communication problems." Li Wei said helplessly. There is no submarine cable, no telegram, which makes it difficult for him to communicate with the mainland. The communication time is quite long, which makes them too late to react. This is the most unacceptable for them.

"Okay, but I have already paid some funds, enough to buy some machine guns, I plan to form a machine gun battalion, we have about ten machine guns, if necessary, I will buy more machine guns, if they can be cheaper Words." Hannibal said. Then he stood up and took out a piece of leather. This is their map. In Li Wei's view, such a map is extremely unqualified, but there is no way. This is their most precious thing. Their engineers have already studied surveying and mapping very hard. However, large-scale surveying and mapping still takes a long time.

"We need to solve the financial problem, we need to continue the war, continue the war, we need to fight. This time our goal is here, in central Spain. Orcades, Vakei, Carl Petanis. If we If we concentrate on destroying them, we will have a great advantage in marching. This is a very important point for us." Hannibal said.

"Do you mean let us formulate relevant combat plans based on this situation?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, fighting. At present, only fighting can completely solve such problems. The problem is that we need to annihilate them all. The longer the delay, the more disadvantaged we are." Hannibal said.

"I see. I will make related plans, but I need the support of new troops, possibly more artillery and machine gun troops. Can you support us in this regard?" Li Wei said.

"Of course. If you put in ten machine guns and you can get more machine guns, I will certainly support you in doing so." Hannibal said.

"Well. Well, I will work out this plan. First of all, we need to lure them to attack us. This requires your cavalry units to do some dangerous things." Li Wei said.

"No problem, they just completed the expansion, and a thousand cavalry can be deployed." Hannibal said.

"Well. Not enough. I think there is still one thing I need to remind you, your brother. Hasto Lubar. His commanding ability is very mediocre. Such a person is only a battalion commander at most, and the rank you give him is The general is a major general. He has at least 8,000 troops in his hands. I think such a general should not be given such an appointment." Li Wei persuaded.

"Yeah. I know, but I don't have that many officers, you know. In this regard, Carthage has such problems, and I can hardly avoid such problems." Hannibal said.

"Okay. We still need some time." Li Wei said helplessly. The training of officers cannot be done all at once. It takes a long time to train. Among them, there are many staff officers who need to manage some wars. Perhaps it is a good choice to attack those savage tribes.

Hannibal was indeed outstanding, but his subordinates were mediocre. In contrast, Hannibal’s aggressiveness formed a huge contrast with the tradition of Carthage officers. Carthage officers still maintained the traditional sense. The preparation of firearms only regards the firearms as a long-range weapon. They rely on quantity, not technology, and the quality of soldiers has improved, and they are also extremely backward in tactical thinking. These are the states that Li Wei cannot change.

It seemed that there was only one person in Carthage. Hannibal had a great interest in firearms, and the rest of the officers passively accepted such a situation. This is really annoying.

Loma, Li Fu is tired of life here, he has nothing to do every day, Scipio seems to be a dude, his daily life is basically fixed, the Colosseum, bubble bath, Loma people like the bathroom very much. The high-end bath liquid and soap imported from South Korea became their luxury consumption. The wine, plus the glass, so that they can see the color of the wine clearly. They think that the invention of the glass is really a great thing. invention.

In the bathroom of a Roma family, Li Fu lay in the bathroom and enjoyed it all, but he felt very boring. He felt that he should go to the battlefield, where is the most suitable place for him.

"It's very boring here. I think it's not suitable for me. I am a cavalry officer. How could a cavalry officer leave his horse. If this goes on, my cavalry officer will be wiped clean by these **** bubbles. "Li Fu said dissatisfiedly.

"Sometimes, I think you are like my father, old Scipio." Scipio said. The Roma people are very strange, they often have the same name, and because of this name rule, Koreans often think that they are the same person, but in fact they are not the same person. For example, in Scipio, there will be old Scipio. , Little Scipio. If he hadn't lived here for a period of time, Li Fu might be in great confusion himself.

"He also believes that Spain is a threat. The new Spanish commander-in-chief, the Carthaginians, is a huge threat. We should send troops all the way to Spain, where a powerful force will be formed to suppress the opponent. In this way, we can guarantee the flank of Sicily while using our navy's superiority to land from Spain. to Africa. My father has been busy with such a thing recently, and the whole Senate is also busy with such a thing." Scipio said so.

"It seems that there are still people who think like me. I think you should first concentrate on solving the Spanish problem. At least you should station some troops near the Alps. This way, you can prevent the other side from appearing in your most empty place. ." Li Fu said.

"My father also suggested this, but we need to wait until the Senate and they approve that we can do this, but I think that a direct attack on Carthage will make the war a lot easier, and if you continue to concentrate a lot there In terms of military strength, I would think that war is not optimistic. In that case, it will take a long time." Scipio said.

"But I will leave your opinions to the Senate. After all, you have an advantage in weapons. It is a pity that our finances are unlikely to provide too much financial support. You know, such support takes a lot of money. More funding," Scipio said. The purchase of weapons, especially muskets, for large-scale installation, this kind of expense is quite large, and the money is enough for the Loma Army to rebuild two naval forces. As for Carthage, they think that the opponent is just an old army, and their understanding only stays at a stage of previous experience and cognition. Such cognition is very dangerous and it will bring them a lot of trouble. . However, the Loma people can't feel it themselves. No matter how much advice Li Fu provides, it is of no use.

Chu State, Pengcheng, Ministry of National Defense.

"Let's talk about it, that situation would be better." The Secretary of Defense said, looking at his men.

"From the current situation provided by South Korea and Zhao, we believe that Zhao’s situation is better. They can sell a batch of technologies to us, while the Koreans are only seeking to cooperate with us and related technologies. We still need to spend a lot of technology patent fees. In this way, we need to spend a lot of money for Koreans. South Korea asks for too much money.” The subordinates said.

"Moreover, the people of Zhao Guoren still have a lot of goods. They can meet most of our needs. The people of Zhao Guoren will experience relevant training. It can be said that a whole set of Zhao Guoren's technology is followed. But South Korea People and training costs are still paid by us, which is very unfair to us." The other party continued.

"Okay. No need to choose. It's Zhao Guoren's. Although the above gave us a lot of funds to solve such a thing, but if we really spent such a lot of money, the above said that we spent money indiscriminately, That's the way we lose the most. This is how things are decided." The Secretary of Defense decided. For him, such a thing is easy to decide. Chu country needs cheap and good things. The quality of Zhao people is excellent, while the Korean people ask for too much money. Who knows whether their things are good or not, they naturally made this choice under the circumstances of funding constraints.

South Korea, Xinzheng, Ministry of National Defense. The South Korean Ministry of National Defense believes with full confidence that they will be able to get the order from Chu State. Therefore, the upper and lower view on this matter is that the Chu people will definitely choose them. After all, this is their best choice. Under such circumstances, do the people of Chu have any choice? Obviously there is no more.

"Haven't Chu State called yet? What are those guys hesitating?" The Defense Minister said preconceivedly.

"Sir. Maybe they still need to think carefully. After all, what I know is that there is a big problem with Chu’s financial funds. Under such circumstances, they may carefully consider some of the more cost-effective ones. Commodities." said a colonel.

"Oh. I hope so. These guys have always been like this. They need to think carefully about what can be considered. Really." The Secretary of Defense said, shaking his head.

"Sir." Just then. A lieutenant knocked on the door and came in. He looked flustered, his face flushed, and he was panting.

"What happened?" The Secretary of Defense asked, looking at the other party.

"Yes, it's a telegram from the Ministry of Defense of Chu State." As he said that, the other party passed a telegram up. The Secretary of Defense can't wait. All he needs is such good news.

"Damn it." The Secretary of Defense waited for the good news with confidence, but the result turned out to be like this. Is this the good news they were waiting for? He couldn't believe that the other party had submitted such a shit-like report to himself.

"Damn Chu, are you blind?" The Minister of Defense severely clipped the telegram and threw it out. He was very angry, quite angry, he had never encountered such a thing before. This makes him very hard to bear.

"Damn Chu people, they deceived our feelings. They are just a bunch of bastards." The Minister of Defense yelled. He promised that he would take these orders, but in the end, he didn't get anything. How does this allow him to solve this problem, and how do many colleagues view this problem.

"Sir." The officer next to him still wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be better not to say it. After all, such a thing cannot be decided by them.

"Damn Chu people." The Minister of Defense scolded angrily, but it didn't help, because things had already happened, and if this continued, there would be no big changes.

State of Zhao, Handan. Aviation Division.

"Chu people made a very wise choice, I believe their choice is extremely correct." The director said. Others happily toasted. When they received the order from Chu people, they were still a little unbelievable, but soon they felt that it was real. After all, such a thing was too real for them. This is definitely the best news they have ever heard. This news is so exciting.

"Next, we are going to export related flight equipment and more technologies. I hope to continue to maintain such technical cooperation. Only in this way will we have more opportunities to make money." The director whispered to a major. Speaking of.

"Sir, and Goguryeo, they also need the air force." The major reminded with a smile.

"Yes, they also need the air force." The chief said with a smile.
