Chapter 4563: position

The city of Carthage. The prosperity of the past is here again. The assassination was gone all at once. Because the Carthage authorities arrested a large number of relevant personnel, many people did not know how to solve it, but they could discuss such topics. The expeditionary force in the north was under too much pressure. But this is not a topic that the Carthaginians like.

In contrast, the Carthaginians like tea because it is cheap and can be oily. This is the best thing for them. Coffee and cocoa are too expensive for them. Therefore, the Carthaginians like tea but not coffee. Don't like cocoa either. They feel that such things make them very uncomfortable. This is what they dislike the most. These things will only make them even more uncomfortable.

"Look at those Carthaginians. They don't care at all about what's happening outside. They care about their own affairs. They don't look too far." South Korean observer, Xu Ming walking in Carthage Said this on the streets of the city.

The Carthaginians had relatively developed commerce and trade, and there were basically no large factories in the country. I have established some preliminary military factories. The military factories only produce some light weapons. These light weapons can only barely be sold, but if you want to sell these things, there is still a lot of lack in output. "In my opinion, the Carthaginians are very lazy. They basically don't know how to produce. Look at these things, they are basically produced from various places. What they do is trade, not production." The Lieutenant, Han Jian, said so. He is an army officer not long after graduation. He came here as a military observer. His future path is actually two steps. The first step is to submit a report, then return to China, and temporarily return to his old army. The second step is to enter the Army University and come out to be a captain officer. Then work in the army, work in the general staff, and then get promoted.

Officers like lieutenants are common, and many people in the rank of lieutenants take off their uniforms. Because most of them can't stand the temptation when they come abroad.

There are many military observer lieutenants like him, some of them are captains. But they have started to do business, and the lieutenant's situation is far better than theirs.

Most of the Korean military officers took the initiative to take off their military uniforms at this stage, because business comes quickly, and many things in the country are commonplace. But shipping here is a good price. Such a good price is a huge beneficial help for them. The officers who came here got rich.

This situation has to be closely related to the current situation in South Korea, relying on a large number of overseas territories. As well as various opportunities, there are many people who have made a fortune in Korea, and most of these people have one characteristic. They have been overseas, especially some diplomats, military officers, and businessmen. Their backgrounds are easy to make a fortune. Therefore, this situation is very easy for them.

The wealthy people soon led a very luxurious life. Together with the bureaucracy and the domestic situation, South Korea itself was in a crisis. In this way, many of their situations would actually become extremely different. If this situation continues, their situation may really be different.

Therefore, it is difficult for people who come overseas to withstand the temptation.

"Yes, there are many people who come here to do business, and there are people behind every ordinary business. For us, this is a huge opportunity for development and growth." Xu Ming said. To. Despite the fact that many businesses on the surface are managed by the Carthaginians, most of them are carried out by the Koreans themselves, and most of the supplies are provided by them.

It seems that Han Jian is not interested in these commodities. He is a person in the entire observation group who is not interested in doing business. His salary is basically some money sent to them by the Department of War. This money is at best to make them more chic. But if you want to have some women, or live more moisturized, these are far from enough. After all, for them, such things can't reach this point. Therefore, many military officers are forced to participate in such commercial activities.

After all, the salaries of lieutenants are not very large, and the salaries of the Korean army have not been increased for a relatively long time. Under such a situation, the officers have to do some business on their own to meet their own needs. The War Department has acquiesced in this. If they do not do this, the War Department will have to increase their salaries. The War Department does not have such a large amount of money. Most military expenditures are concentrated in the Navy Department. The Navy needs to build more and more new warships. This is the reason.

Han Jian is not interested in these. What he is interested in is the army, some of the living conditions of the Carthaginians, and their will to fight.

On many occasions, he mentioned more than once that the Carthaginians had a terrible fighting will. Too bad they didn't come to war at all. Learned that they should not have their own army, they only need to have their own caravan. In fact, at this point, they never let the Koreans feel disappointed. Their merchants are more active than the soldiers. Among the Senate, merchants and manor-born elders can account for more than 80%. Soldiers were born, and it was less than 3% of the poor.

"I heard that the Senate is discussing the retreat of the Carthage Expeditionary Army?" Han Jian asked.

"Yes, they have been arguing for a long time. If you retreat, you can reduce a part of the military expenditure. This is of great benefit to the Carthaginians' finances. You know, many places have been attacked. Post-reconstruction work needs to spend more money. If they are transferred back, they can basically reach such a point where military expenditure can be reduced a lot." Xu Ming said, he said looking at the goods on the street.

"But this situation seems to have some disadvantages for them." Xu Ming continued.

"These unfavorable conditions are mainly concentrated in some special places. For example, if Hannibal returns, where should his position be placed? He wants to enter the Senate or serve as a consul. If this is the case, many benefits need to be redistributed. This is the key to noisy." Xu Ming said. The **** decides the head. Those veterans know this very well. Therefore, most of the time, they think more about such issues. Although retreating back can reduce military expenditures, it also brings them some Trouble, these troubles are concentrated in their positions, and they have many positions to be given to them. Such a situation has too much influence on them.

"I don't quite understand these things." Han Jian said.

"Yes, you are indeed unlikely to understand these things, but if you know that this situation will have something to do with us, you will know how important it is. Retreat is not a simple matter." Xu Ming said Speaking of. But in Han Jian’s view, this meant that the Carthaginians had completely lost their initiative. If they were in Loma, they could threaten some of them, but if they retreated, they would lose their midline. Advantages, once they lose such advantages, they do not do so smoothly in many situations.

The expeditionary army cannot easily withdraw, because they still need to create a lot of new positions for them, so that they can find their own position in such a position, and then they can do a lot of things, otherwise, they can't do anything. . The troop is not withdrawn, but a matter of position. These are some of the issues that must be considered by the government.

In the Kingdom of Yan, in the west of Liaoning, Ye Chong is now promoted to corporal. Because he can be regarded as a man who has fought a war. Therefore, it was promoted naturally. The infantry regiment they belonged to has supplemented a large number of newcomers, and there are strange faces everywhere. Many of them are newcomers. They are carrying weapons and carrying their own bags. Shaking back and forth, they didn't know anything, just like they did at the beginning, they didn't know anything. It was really a kind of irony. Many times they would do it, but now, their situation is not as good as these recruits.

Ye Chong changed some of his military uniforms. He got a new military coat, which also contained sweaters, fleece, hats and woolen hats. Such hats could protect their ears, and then their mountain hats. They watched. It looks very bloated. But this can greatly save their lives.

The southern part of Yan Country is already cold enough. And they are going to Liaodong, which is colder than where they are, and they have to make such preparations. After all, such things have a great impact on them. This is the case. If they can do this to some extent, it will naturally become more advantageous.

The work they do on it is pretty good. At the very least, what they need will be added soon. They can drink hot tea and hot coffee. Can drink hot beverages in cold weather. This is a very good thing.

But they still need to go to war. The recruits are very excited, but veterans like Ye Chong do not think so. They are a regiment with more than 1,500 people, but after a battle, half of them left their own battle. More than 2,000 people have been added to the post this time, and I don’t know how many people will leave here. I really don't know what they think, anyway, such a thing is like this.
