Chapter 4035: Cooperation

South Korea, Xinzheng, Supreme Command.

"The Carthaginians want to talk to us. They expressed their willingness to pay 15,000 gold coins to solve this matter. This is their maximum request." The Intelligence Minister reported in this way.

"Fifteen thousand, too little, who they think we are, beggars, these Carthaginians are too stingy." Han Shu said angrily.

"Yes, my lord, this is indeed too little. But the Carthaginians, said that this is the maximum amount of funds they can use." The intelligence minister said helplessly.

"They haven't made it to the dead end yet." Han Shu said.

"Order the navy to increase reinforcements quickly, and South Korea should also actively contact other countries. Intervene in this matter." Han Shu ordered this. The Central Plains countries are dissatisfied with Carthage. In their opinion, Carthage made a stupid decision. After regretting it, it should pay the corresponding price. 15,000 gold coins seem to be a lot, but there are problems. Yes, there are more countries involved in intervention. In the face of such a situation, the best way to solve the problem is to immediately abandon a large amount of funds to stabilize the situation. Unfortunately, no one knows this. They just think that this is OK. It is enough to achieve their purpose. The Carthaginians thought too simple.

State of Zhao, Handan. In Zhao Jia’s office, Zhao Qian succeeded to the throne as King Zhao, but his power was not great. He was only the head of state on the surface, but in fact, the real power rests in the hands of the prime minister. Zhao Jia also knows this. He doesn't have much time. The prime minister's term of office is only four years, and one year has been eliminated. If Zhao Wangqian finds a way to strengthen his power, he has a way. In the case of crisis awareness, Zhao Jia must find a way to stabilize Wang Zhao's power, or in other words, to fix it. Strengthening the parliament has become an important matter.

"At present, we must severely punish the Carthaginians. Punishment is of military significance to the State of Zhao, and it has more political significance. This significance will be huge for us." Zhao Jia said so.

"The problem is, Prime Minister, our military strength in the Mediterranean is still very weak, unable to launch a larger-scale naval military operation, the number of Marines is too small. We only have the combat strength of one infantry company at most. It is difficult to carry out large-scale military operations due to the need for logistical support." The Secretary of the Navy said embarrassingly. Several other ministers present nodded, they knew exactly what they needed.

The influence of the war was attacked by the enemy during the national funeral, and the people of Zhao were burned with anger. They had never felt such a shame to the country. A small Mediterranean country was so presumptuous, which is simply insulting. National shame.

If a great victory can be achieved in this war, Zhao Guo will get more benefits, and as the planner of the war, he will get more political capital, not just the companies involved, but the banks support them. , And more of the people, in this way, they will overwhelm each other in support of this issue. With such political support. Zhao Jia can easily be re-elected, and if this is the case, Zhao Wang's situation will become extremely bad.

"These are all questions. I have asked you to dispatch troops. Why haven't they arrived yet?" Zhao Jia asked.

"Yes, Prime Minister, because we have relatively few troops there, but the naval forces of all countries are being assembled, which is very beneficial to us." The Secretary of the Navy wanted to talk about other things, but was suddenly caught by Zhao Jia. Interrupted.

"I don’t care what happens to you. Those are the naval forces of various countries. It is their business that they are willing to participate. But I, Zhao, must launch some military operations in advance. I don’t care what these military operations will become, but these They are all military operations that are extremely beneficial to us. These things are just like that." Zhao Jia said.

"You have to figure out specific things," Zhao Jia said. He eagerly hopes to win a war, quickly and quickly, so that he can quickly increase his prestige, and he can't wait to let himself fly to Carthage to threaten the opponent. This is what Zhao Jia currently thinks, crazy. But it is not irrational. Because this is indeed a good opportunity to obtain a lot of political capital. With the purpose of obtaining political capital, Zhao Jiacai eagerly hopes that there will be a larger-scale war victory.

After the meeting, the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Army were extremely rare to walk together, because they faced a common task. That is to win this war. Although before the two armies even started open and secret battles, many times it existed because of a large amount of military expenditure. The relationship between the two sides has become extremely tense, but now they must face a problem, how to win the war.

"The pressure is not small," the Secretary of the Army said first.

"Yes, the pressure is really not small, we don't know how to solve such a thing. To be honest, I have a headache now. Although the Navy has a lot of warships, there are not many in the Mediterranean. A situation will create a huge disadvantage for us, which will make our situation extremely unfavorable. In the face of such a situation, what else can we solve?" said the Secretary of the Navy.

"The situation in our army is even worse. In the Mediterranean, we don't have a single office. How can it be possible for us to attack Carthage immediately?" the Secretary of the Army said helplessly. Zhao Jia’s order is dead. They must attack Carthage as soon as possible, creating a huge military pressure and striving to form a great advantage at the negotiating table. But the problem is that whether it is the navy or the army, their strength is all. Not much, and the military presence in the local area is not great. It takes some time to mobilize troops from nearby to fight, but not much time is given. Under such conditions, they really don’t know themselves. Can you solve such a problem? Perhaps such a problem is originally a huge catastrophic problem.

"I really don't know what else we can do in this situation." The Secretary of the Army said worriedly.

"But in such a situation, I have a good way. This way doesn't sound too good," said the Secretary of the Navy.

"What way?" the Secretary of the Army asked.

"Called, our navy has a large number of private armed merchant ships. For the Carthage Navy, such a military force is strong enough. Similarly, in Thebes, Aiji, and other places, as long as the War Department Give them money and enlist them, and they can form a large army, especially the arms of merchants. They all have their own arms for their own safety. They must solve such problems. Under such conditions, they can do many things. They can do a good job, so in the face of such a situation, they need to solve a lot of things. My opinion is to let the merchants' armed forces become the Zhao army, and let them attack Carthage and defeat them. If they do, the spoils are theirs, and what we want is the result of the war. As for destruction, nothing is what we consider. Under such circumstances, it is the greatest good thing to be able to win a war." The Secretary of the Navy said of Austria.

"That's okay?" the Secretary of the Army asked in surprise.

"Why not? Since they can do this, why can't we do this? All, in such a situation, the best course of action is this. We can do this, and the other party can do it too. If your army is unwilling to do such a thing, then wait for the defeat of this war." The Secretary of the Navy said.

"Our Marine Corps is considered to have completed the mission. I have planned to do this. After all, only by doing this can we get enough troops to complete such a thing." The Secretary of the Navy said.

"Well, I listen to your opinion, I hope your opinion is correct, this can bring us great benefits, otherwise, we are really finished." The Secretary of the Army said.

"So, for such a thing, you'd better hurry up. After all, the merchants there are very limited. If necessary, I think you can recruit the Aiji army to launch an offensive. As for logistical supplies, I think our Admiralty I can fight with you, after all, for the victory of this war." The Secretary of the Navy looked at the back and the surrounding situation, and then quietly said.

"I think the Prime Minister is very anxious now. The sooner we complete this kind of thing, the more beneficial it will be for us. This will be a huge victory for us. Facing such a victory, we will form A huge advantage, this is our best result." The other party said.

"Well, we cooperate, give up the prejudices in the past, and hope that our opinions are true and effective." The other party said. The two ministers work together. For them, this is their happiest part. With such a thing, they can completely solve many, many problems.

Immediately the two departments began to recruit Aiji, Thebes, and all the Zhao people near Shazhou. They gave a lot of benefits in order to recruit a large army to launch an attack on Carthage.

The actions of Zhao Guoren quickly aroused the interest of the Koreans. They thought it was a very good idea, because this idea could solve the enemy in a short time. At the same time, they did not have very high requirements on the strength of the troops and the quality of the soldiers.
