Chapter 4045: Technological progress

State Qin, Ministry of National Defense. Meng Tian is checking some information about rest. At present, he focuses his main attention on rest, because rest has a large amount of oil. If the oil is controlled in Qin's hands, it will have great significance for Qin's economic development.

"Sir." An army major came in.

"What's the matter?" Meng Tian asked, putting the information in his hand aside.

"Sir, I think you should look at this?" The major officer put a few books on Meng Tian's desk as he said. Meng Tian looked at each other strangely. He felt that his subordinates should be very clear. Their current situation. He doesn't have so much time to read novels at all. And there are many types of novels. Although they are well written and many have been made into movies, Meng Tian is really too busy. He didn't have time to look at those things at all. His subordinates should know this.

"I don't have time to look at these things, I think you know them." Meng Tian said.

"I understand, sir, but I think you should look at some of the content I marked. Or the pictures." The other party said. Meng Tian nodded. Then I picked up some books and looked at them. Some of the contents are very sensitive. For example, Nanyang, there is also a map, and an icon directly expanded from Zhao Guo points directly to Nanyang. That is the territory of the Koreans.

There are many similar novel fragments. This kind of fragment usually won't attract too much attention, why? Because these are all illusions, it's like, what Qin needs are heroes. They will portray all kinds of dangerous situations, including crazy cowboys, soldiers, officers, and all kinds of sharpshooters. Even the story of Superman will be very popular. These are illusory and non-existent. No one will treat it as a reality.

"What signal?" Shang Wu asked while looking at the books in his hand.

"I think Zhao Guo has ambitions to expand. Their target is Koreans. For example, the location of Nanyang on that map. We all know that there is a Korean territory. Everyone knows it, but the map is marked like that. After coming out, there are still many, many places describing the situation in Nanyang, which will cause us a lot of attention." The major said.

"Well, I understand." Meng Tian looked at the novel in his hand and nodded. Although novels are generally illusory or conceived randomly, these ideas generally have some foundations. For example, the Nanyang issue, Zhao Guo is developing rapidly, and his demand for oil has become extremely eager, Qi Guoren It only temporarily met their demand for oil, but as time goes by, Zhao's development has become faster and faster, and their demand for oil has become larger and larger, and Zhao's people can no longer satisfy Qi. Very limited oil imports. They need more oil resources, but Qi’s oil production cannot satisfy them. They see overseas markets, Persia is too far away from them, and they need a large number of merchant ships, all of which require Zhao people to continuously expand their production. Only scale can achieve such a purpose. But Qi was unable to satisfy them, so they took a fancy to South Korea’s South Seas. The oil resources on the South Sea islands are exactly what Zhao’s people need. In addition, there are more other resources, such as rubber. The resources of Zhao Guolai are what they must need for their development, but this kind of plant can only be produced in Nanyang, which makes them very dissatisfied, because their demand is very large, but the supply is too small, and they need to be from Koreans. They spend too much money to purchase such resources, not only that, if Koreans and Zhao Guoren have a diplomatic conflict, their situation will suddenly become very bad, as long as they get stuck in oil and gas As for rubber resources, the development of the Zhao country will enter a period of withering, and finally the economy will shrink slowly, and finally Zhao will perish on its own. In such a worry and thirst for resources, the people of the Zhao country will have a kind of external expansion. dream.

They know that they can’t beat Qin, because Qin’s comprehensive national strength far exceeds Zhao’s, so Zhao people need to develop, but development takes longer to proceed. They are all aware of this situation. In this case, the only way is to obtain more resources, but the resources currently occupied by Koreans seriously threaten the state of Zhao. The contradiction between the state of Zhao and South Korea has begun to escalate gradually. In fact, these two countries have been early This point has been noticed a long time ago, but their high-level performance is still very restrained. On this issue, they do not excessively stimulate the other party to avoid further escalation of this problem, because they know that the problem is not finally solved. At that time, they did not need to pay a huge price of force. In this case, their situation is under control.

But the problem is that if the senior thinks this way, folk novelists and various artistic expressions will not express such a thing in this way. In their view, these are just a kind of public consciousness they want to express, which is a subconscious expression.

"You don't think such a thing can explain that Zhao Guoren is going to attack South Korea?" Meng Tian asked the major officer.

"Sir, although I am not sure, I can think that this is something that can be done. After all, there are still some things that can be done. I think it is better for us to be careful about such things. This kind of thing can only be viewed this way." said the major.

"Well, well, that's it, this kind of thing can only be recorded in the memorandum of the staff. They formulate relevant battle plans and wargames. We can't do anything about this kind of thing." Meng Tian said. Although such wars may be unavoidable in the future, these are not the time for them to consider now. What they need to consider is how to solve some of the current problems and what resources their economy can provide. These are the things that soldiers should consider.

State Zhao, Handan, Staff Headquarters. Li Mu did not notice such a thing. In his view, Zhao State does not have the strength to expand on a large scale. Although Zhao State’s economic development is good, the problem is that if it expands, it will cause more disasters. In terms of diplomacy, Zhao's current situation is still unfavorable. At least the surrounding strategic focus is balance. As long as this balance is not broken, nothing will change. This is the best situation they have noticed.

"Relying on merchants to carry out large-scale offensives. This is the current situation of our Zhao country. They will land along the Mediterranean Sea and rely on the superiority of the navy to land and then invade Carthage." Li Zuoche reported.

It can be said that for this offensive plan, the Mediterranean Fleet is still very mindful. They know that if they attack from land, the itinerary will be very large and the cost will be very high, but from the sea, it is convenient. The sea will provide them with more help, and their combat materials and personnel will arrive easily. This is a very beneficial thing for them. This is a simple but very effective plan.

"Our navy also controls the maritime power of the area near the Carthage waters. Our advantage is still great. Although the merchants' armed forces seem to be relatively weak in combat, I believe that the danger is not great." Li Zuoche was very surprised. Speaking optimistically. In his opinion, such a military operation itself is not a big problem, and his chief is just too worried.

"Really?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes, sir. I don't think the problem is very big in this situation. After all, we are in an advantage as a whole. If the Carthaginians make mistakes again, our situation will become even more advantageous." Li The left car said.

"Yeah. I hope so." Li Mu did not express too many views. In his opinion, expressing too many views is of no use, because many things still need to be resolved by themselves, but the situation of the war will change. To what extent. This is what Li Mu is worried about. After all, there are unexpected factors in the war. These are things that cannot be avoided.

In fact, the Carthaginians were making a fatal mistake at this time.

Thebes, a South Korean intelligence agency, a major officer is analyzing a series of intelligence in his hands.

According to the information they collected, Carthage was once again caught in a dilemma. Their intelligence officers did not know how to deal with such a situation because they said it was embarrassing.

Some veterans expressed their support for the war because they felt that Carthage could not retreat at this time. Once they retreat, the entire Carthage would be in an absolute passive situation. Even if they were defeated, Carthage should fight. They were Fighting in order to protect their business interests. On the other hand, the other faction of the Senate does not want war, especially in the mainland, because they hope that the war in the mainland can be avoided. They are slave manor owners. Once a war breaks out, their losses will be lost. In the face of this situation, they hope to be able to talk and resolve such contradictions through peace talks. After all, some problems have not yet developed to the point where they must be resolved by war. Many things can still be resolved through peace talks. They think that it is still possible to do so.

Faced with such a situation, Carthage formed two different opinions, but the emergence of these two attitudes caused a lot of trouble. Because the Senate has been unable to determine that the method is correct, this has caused a very serious consequence, that is, they cannot proceed with many things. Faced with such a situation, their situation will become More difficult.

This is the situation analyzed by South Korean intelligence agencies. They have developed a lot of downlines in Carthage. Some of these downlines only feed back some ordinary things, such as the price of Carthage, etc., but this information is important to South Korea. As far as intelligence agencies are concerned, there is enough. They can analyze some problems from a simple price.

For a simple weapon, the price of Carthage will rise to know how much pressure Carthage is facing. These are the credits of South Korean intelligence personnel. As for how they solve such things, they are not their solution. After all, such things need to be done by themselves.

South Korea, Xinzheng. Inside an engine research institute.

"Wang, this engine research institute will provide powerful power for various aircraft in South Korea. The core of the aircraft is the engine. Without a suitable engine, everything is in vain." A researcher said.

"Well, I know this very well." Han Shu said with a smile.

"Motivation is very critical and requires a lot of technical support to complete. Your research is very hard, but it is very important for the future development of Korea. Your hard work will be rewarded with superior returns, and we should actively improve. We should help them solve a series of situations of researchers, such as their children's education, living environment, and medical care." Han Shu said.

The researcher expressed his gratitude, while Zhang Liang took notes. In fact, South Korea has already done what they can do. For example, companies that invest in education will enjoy many tax exemptions. For example, some printing factories have relatively thin profits, and many factories have closed down because they could not maintain it. But South Korea has given them great support, such as tax exemption. As long as a part of education-related books is printed, they will be exempted from a certain percentage of taxes. If they are provided to some universities, the tax exemption percentage will be further increased. In other words, if you have a great connection with the education system, the country You will not be taxed. This kind of advantage makes many printing houses and education link together.

Not just printing. In South Korea, researchers and scientists don’t pay taxes. They enjoy a lot of preferential treatment when it comes to taking public transportation tools, and even government officials are not allowed to yell at them. Scientists have received great respect.

But this kind of respect has not brought substantial scientific progress to South Korea. This is where Han Shu feels very annoyed. According to reason, her investment is not insignificant, but why is there such a small amount of results.

This is not something she can communicate with. In fact, the research of Koreans mostly stays in theory. Most of their goals are empty, and they have relatively few ties with enterprises. On the contrary, Zhao Guoren’s research is very specific, and their projects are dismantled separately. In this way, their research can easily produce results. This is the difference between the two.
