Chapter 3970: Sit down and talk

"This is not a war anymore." Li Wei and Hannibal said as they walked on the battlefield of the Roma.

The entire battlefield is full of Loma corpses. Many people remain in their last-minute state. Their eyes are helpless, unwilling, and fearful. There are many brave soldiers among them. They really don’t believe it. His short sword could not touch the support of the Carthaginian soldiers. Before their javelins were thrown out, the soldiers' bodies had fallen out of control and fell to the ground. Their heads were knocked off, and some of them were directly shattered by shells. The battlefield was full of crows, smelling of blood.

"This is a massacre, isn't it?" Hannibal asked. A second lieutenant officer gave to Hannibal the battle damage report they had just calculated. Except for the cavalry, only one of Hannibal who launched the attack was injured, but he sprained his foot in the rapid roundabout process, not far away. The Gauls are brandishing their axes and short swords, facing those who are dying, by pretending to be dead on the battlefield, who have passed the battle. Such a fill-up is necessary because it will be safe for the lives of the Gauls. Cause a great threat. After killing the opponent, they will take away the Roma daggers and armor, as well as their boots. The Carthaginians only took away gold coins, valuable things, and those cold weapons. They just took away a few worthy trophies at will. The Gauls are very satisfied with this, because they have never seen such a generous ally. However, such ally, they like it very much, because they are generous, which makes them extremely loyal, and following the Carthaginians can get more benefits.

"Yes, but there will be more and more massacres like this in the future. I am afraid we will kill more people at that time." Li Wei said that they have not used machine guns this time, and they may use them in the future. Heavy artillery, if that were the case, the situation would become extremely crazy, and the entire war would eventually develop into such a state.

"Huh." Hannibal didn't know what to think at this moment, maybe he should become more relaxed, maybe he should be happy, in this case, many things can be solved. This is just the first step in dealing with the attacking Lockheed.

The cavalry troops are pursuing the remaining strength of the Lockheed Martin army, and their escaped troops are not many. Many people were killed on the road. They could have established a second line of defense, but their fighting will was completely defeated. Under such circumstances, they cannot organize effective defenses at all, which means that their operations will become unpaced. They will be chased mercilessly. This chase is the most merciless, because there is no resistance, even if there is sporadic resistance, they will be wiped out, and chasing will bring more fear and physical exhaustion. Let them eventually be consumed and die, this is the most cruel way of fighting. This kind of fear will be deeply imprinted in the hearts of Loma people, which is a kind of demon.

Chu State, in the prime minister's palace. Song Yi looked at the intelligence gathered.

"These nobles, business owners, they don't know how to thank me very much, when they are so greedy." Song Yi said annoyedly as he watched the information collected by the intelligence department.

Song Yi is also very clear about the dissatisfaction within Chu State. These people have a great influence on him and cannot be offended, but the other party ignores some of his own ideas. Is peace not good? There must be a large-scale war. In this case, Chu's financial problems will become more prominent.

"Actually, your Excellency Prime Minister. I think that proper warfare can play some positive roles, and such things are also of great benefit to us." Zhang Er suggested sitting on the sofa.

"Our companies are developing rapidly, but they need more markets, raw materials, and cheap labor. The market is what we need most. Of course, there are more raw materials, such as oil, for the people of Qin. Oil can support the Parthians to fight Armenia, and the people of Zhao will support Goguryeo’s war against the northern part of Yan Kingdom for more cheap iron ore and coal resources. The situation is stabilized under such circumstances, and they will fight abroad. , We can appropriately divert some of the domestic pressure and attention, and make our internal affairs more favorable. These are the positive effects of the war." Zhang Er said. He supported the war, thinking that after he came back from the party, he felt what those capitalists, nobles, and business owners needed. Their greed exposed everything. They needed more resources, more energy, and more finances. Supporting power, and all of this, they need them to do. Chu's war is like this. They must play such a role, otherwise, no one will support them. The reason why Song Yi had an attack but did not take action was because of this.

"Yes, finance. You only talked about the advantages of military struggles, but did not talk about the financial disadvantages. We will be under considerable pressure. Under such circumstances, we need more funds. Do you understand this? "Song Yi said.

"This question, Prime Minister, we can’t look at it this way. We can treat the country, Chu State as an enterprise. If our enterprise wants to get more revenue, it must expand its business. This business is military, and more. Weapon production and warfare can stimulate our internal demand. The more we spend, the more tax companies pay, and we need a variety of energy sources. These energy sources are an important reason why we must conduct wars. "Zhang Er said.

"We are entangled in Myanmar, and it doesn't make any sense. It is better to concentrate our main forces and put them into competition in other regions. This can greatly stimulate the demand of domestic military enterprises." Zhang Er said. To. Through contact with the nobles and entrepreneurs, he learned the fact that the Kingdom of Chu needs wars and more wars. At this moment, the enthusiasm of the war far outweighs his disadvantages.

Because many nobles have acquired a large number of companies, and it seems impossible to generate orders through other countries. The only way to carry out a war shifts some of the domestic pressure. Only in this way can all things be resolved. This is Zhang Er's suggestion.

Song Yi needs to rethink what Zhang Er said. He feels that to a certain extent, Zhang Er's proposal represents a force. Politics is a product of a balance of power, and he cannot refuse it because of such things. This kind of thing happened. After all, his support comes from the expansion of these forces.

South Korea, Xinzheng. In the backyard of the Supreme Commander’s Department, some flowers and plants are planted here, mainly for changing moods, because they feel that the people of the Supreme Commander’s Office are under a lot of pressure. Such a design may make their situation better. .

"My lord, the people of Zhao Guoren are planning to build a large-scale battleship. According to the information provided by our insiders. The number of warships built by the people of Zhao Guoren may exceed fifty. They have decided to expand their military forces in the Mediterranean fleet, with specific goals. , It's not clear yet." The Secretary of the Navy said excitedly. This is big news, enough to shake all naval and military powers.

"What Zhao people want to do? Such a large-scale expansion of the navy will have a great impact on our South Korean navy." Han Shu said annoyed. He felt that Zhao Guoren was provoking trouble.

"My lord, do we have to strengthen the naval construction in order to curb the growth of the Zhao people in the navy? After all, their threat to us is too great. Our naval power is relatively speaking, although we It occupies the main points of the Suez Canal, but in a short period of time, the increase in the military power of the other side will lead to an absolute imbalance of power in the entire Mediterranean region." The Secretary of the Navy said worriedly.

"Their goal may be very simple, that is to specifically target the Carthaginians, but such a target. It seems that there is a potential back hand, and we have to guard against it." The Secretary of the Navy said.

"Well. We can also increase naval power, but such a simple increase in naval power seems to drag us into the arms race." Han Shu considered in the long run.

"But if we don't do this, we don't seem to have a good way to solve such a problem." Han Shu is also in a dilemma. No matter what purpose the people of Zhao are in to increase the number of their naval warships, these warships are built. After that, if the Koreans cannot actively respond, it will inevitably put them in an unfavorable strategic situation, which will inevitably result. South Korea is at a disadvantage in the future naval competition.

In this way, the Koreans must build a large number of warships. However, the more warships they build, it means that the other side will also build warships to deal with it. This naturally forms an arms race. Once such a race is formed, it will be very serious. Difficulty in separation will inevitably lead to a very serious consequence, that is, the two sides will finally invest a large amount of financial funds into an endless loop of economic projects, which will inevitably lead to a war or a country’s demise. , To withdraw from this endless loop of combat, Lu, World War II, or, in a situation like the Cold War.

Han Shu has realized this and she wants to avoid it, but the problem is that he does not know how to deal with it and how to avoid such a situation.

"Explain the situation to the people of Qin. We are also increasing our forces in the Mediterranean area for the time being. We cannot let our situation be passive." Han Shu said.

For this situation, Han Shu did not have a good solution. After all, this is an arms race, and it is a difficult solution to resolve. Perhaps we can only win over a country that is unwilling to participate in and solve such a thing. For example, Qin State.

Qin State, Xianyang. Prime Minister's House.

Meng Tian sat in Shangwen's office waiting for Shangwu's instructions, or that he was trying to solve some problems, such as rest in peace.

"The Parthians are attacking very quickly. They have been separated from the infantry by a safe distance of more than two hundred kilometers. The infantry has been very difficult to support the operation. They said that Armenians were found, but I think the situation is not enough to solve all the problems. "Meng Tian said.

"What do you mean?" Shang Wen asked.

"The Parthians have problems and big problems, and their situation will become extremely passive. If there is an accident, the entire cavalry will fall into a huge disaster. We can't let this happen, and we can't let this happen. If things happen, we must stop them from doing something, otherwise, our situation will be extremely passive. This is my opinion." Meng Tian said.

"The problem is that the Parthians will not listen to any of our opinions. They believe that our situation will be more passive, or that our situation will only make them more disadvantaged." Shang Wen said. .

"Well, let's exchange for another way to solve this problem. How long will it take for the Parthian cavalry to enter the state of combat." Shang Wen knew that the Parthian was determined to win. Because this is related to their dignity problem, if their own dignity problem cannot be solved, the whole thing will become extremely difficult.

"This, I think it will take some time, mainly because their firepower weapons are not fully equipped." Meng Tian replied.

"We can only speed up the resolution of such things." Shang Wen said.

Just as Shangwen and Meng Tian resolved the issue of rest, Meng Yi came in and handed Shangwen a report. Shangwen gave it to Meng Tian after reading it.

"How do we solve this matter?" Shang Wen asked.

"If the other party is allowed to behave like this, it will make everything worse. Obviously, Koreans have realized this and they are unwilling to compete." Shang Wen said.

"Can we limit the number and tonnage of their naval warships." Meng Tian suggested after reading it.

"I also agree with such an approach. Maybe we can discuss some things. Maybe, Zhao Guoren's original intention is not like this. It's just that we are thinking about safety and instinct. We can sit down and talk." Meng Yi said Speaking of.

"Do you think that?" Shang Wen asked Meng Tian.

"I suggest that the navy department sit down and talk about it. They may be able to reach a unified plan. After all, it will not make our situation more ugly." Meng Tian said.

"Well. We may also need such a situation to leave this plan to the Koreans. After all, a large-scale arms race will pose a great threat to us, and this threat is a challenge for us. ." Shang Wen said.
