Chapter 4678: Helpless choice

Outside Carthage, inside Hannibal's headquarters.

"What?" Hannibal asked his staff in disbelief.

"The Roma aviation appeared above us. They also attacked our fast-moving force and caused twelve trucks to be damaged. Not only these, but also the loss of personnel. They also attacked ours in the middle. Some military warehouses, but because some materials are scattered. Therefore, the loss is not too great." The staff officer reported this way.

Hannibal was also surprised. He didn't know how the other party appeared.

"I think those planes may have taken off from an aircraft carrier. Their combat radius is relatively small, but they are enough to attack our military operations in coastal areas." Li Wei thought about it and said that the south is the Gobi and The desert, the combat area is extremely limited, most of the fighting is concentrated in the north near the Mediterranean coast, because only there can be greater development. In such a situation, only they can develop as quickly as possible.

"Well. No matter where they come from, the other's aircraft has already launched an attack on our heads. Such a threat is really too great for us. If we don't take some measures, it may become Extremely disadvantageous. Even, we are in an extremely unpleasant state. If this situation continues, they may attack Carthage." Hannibal said anxiously, this is indeed true. Such a possibility. And this possibility is very high. The possibility of an attack on the capital is too great.

"I am very much in agreement with this point. If we do this, it may have some adverse effects on us, but as for me, this may be the most acceptable and adopted measure for us at the moment." Li Wei said. .

"We not only have to build more fighter squadrons, but at the same time, we also have to build antiaircraft artillery units. When the bombs are dropped above us, everything is too late." Hannibal said anxiously. Yes, Lockheed Martin did not land, but they can appear from the air some unfavorable situations that hit them, in such a situation. They can't fight further, which is too dangerous for them.

"It seems that this can only be the case. I will contact the country to see if they have relevant weapons. If so, I think they will meet our needs." Li Wei thought about it for a while and said. Hannibal agreed. This is their best approach at the moment. Establish a large number of anti-aircraft artillery units and air fighter units so that they can try to intercept each other. Put yourself in a favorable situation, this is their most favorable situation.

Under normal circumstances, most of the ways to defend against air raids are like this, ground air defense forces, and more air fighter forces, but these require more money. It seems that Hannibal can only buy it.

On the flight deck of the Sicily.

"Long live, long live. Long live." The ground crew and the pilots who had not yet taken the mission shouted loudly. They threw the pilots flying on missions high, because they severely hit the ground troops of the Carthaginians.

"Talk about it, tell us about it." Many ground crew members gathered around and Luo Yonggan smiled. He suddenly felt very proud. He started dancing with an introduction about how he turned those trucks into fireballs on the plane.

"Those trucks are placed on the ground like matchboxes, and our planes fly over quickly. People on the ground, like ants, will run around when they see us flying over. This is for us. , This kind of thing is really too simple. Many of our situations are completed under these conditions, so this kind of thing is very simple for us. We aim at the match box, even many It’s very simple to fire wildly at people's places. We can hit them all at once, and they fall one by one. This is too simple for us.” Luo Yonggan described. Many ground staff listened very real. They looked at the airplanes that were being put into the hangar. They felt that they could do something like this, and the sparks that exploded. Although they couldn’t see it, they could think of such things. For them, it is an extremely difficult thing.

They returned from the mission and got their first reward. Their ranks have been promoted. Such promotion is used to commend them for their courage in battle. And outstanding military exploits. Luo Yonggan is now a second lieutenant, and his instructor has become a captain. For soldiers like them, war really is the fastest channel for promotion. They can execute tasks all at once in a relatively short period of time.

More and more pilots are looking forward to carrying out their missions. Even some pilots believed that they should attack the city of Carthage, because in that case they might end the war soon. The morale of the pilots is high. In their view, the war may end under their attack, and they are not prepared for the difficulties that may be encountered next.

They had never seen the air force of the Carthaginians, and they didn't need to worry so much. This is a situation they must deal with.

Qin State, Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Zhang Liang went to Chu Country?" Li Si said while looking at the briefing in his hand.

"Yes, Prime Minister, according to the information provided by the intelligence department, they seem to intend to strengthen diplomatic relations with the Chu people. After all, they had some unpleasantness before, but this time it seems that they seem to have a good deal of talk." Speaking of. The intelligence sharing between Qin and South Korea ceased. The news of Qin’s intelligence slowed down. This was disadvantageous to Qin, but Li Si didn’t care about it at all, because they would soon be able to get such compensation through the rest of the people. In his opinion, this Worry is completely unnecessary, because many times, they can do this by themselves.

"Well. Don't worry about them. After all, their relationship with us is not very good, and their situation with us is not too favorable. Therefore, under such circumstances, they will have some reactions like this, and it should be." Li Si said so. Li Si didn’t care at all about the improvement of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Chu. That’s for sure. The Koreans, Qin, and the Koreans have gained much benefits before, but now they don’t get such benefits, naturally. Find ways to get benefits from other places. They are just such people. It is too simple for them. Therefore, they are not in a hurry to accomplish this kind of thing. Even, he thinks, this kind of thing. The influence of the situation on him is not great.

The war was produced under such a situation, and even many of their conditions have developed under such a situation.

In Li Si's view, South Korea is a country where villainism is extremely serious. Such practices are totally unworkable. Therefore, Li Si did not catch a cold at all about the Koreans' practices. He even felt that the Koreans could leave on their own initiative and take advantage of the Chu people. He was still very optimistic to see. The assistant did not understand this, but it was a matter for the prime minister.

Inside Shangwen's villa. Shangwen's work now seems to be busier than before. Shang Wen is trying to improve the radio equipment. He needs a more powerful diode. In this way, he can make a radio communication device that can travel short distances, but he also needs a smaller battery. This is more widespread in the military and civilian markets.

In addition to these inventions, Shangwen also needs to make some improvements to the drawings, such as proposing some of his own opinions. Many research institutes hire Shang Wen as a senior consultant. In addition to these, he also needs to take care of Yingyu, and then deal with Wenyang's bank-related matters. Maybe at other times, he will also write some manuscripts. These are some of the memoirs and his views on the events at that time. Unfortunately, Shangwen did not have the idea of ​​keeping a diary at the time. But fortunately, there is Meng Yi, who has the habit of recording, and he still has a lot of manuscripts, but this needs to be sorted out.

"Zhang Liang is visiting Chu State. In my opinion, this is a helpless move by South Korea to seek the initiative in diplomacy." Meng Yi found Shang Wen and said. Shang Wen put down his work and nodded.

"It seems to be the case, but we can't oppose the Koreans doing this. After all, our diplomatic performance is too cold, and a lot of changes have taken place. Li Si received a large number of military orders, allowing Qin The country’s military industry has developed to a certain extent, and he has eased the pressure of a certain economic crisis. Feng Lao is not good to say anything, Qin is still very stable, and we don’t have many favorable ways to help the Koreans." Shang Wen said helplessly. To.

For the helpless behavior of the Koreans, Shang Wen also expressed helplessness, because in many cases, if they behaved more normally, they might not encounter such a thing. But in fact, most of their conditions should have such a situation that directly led to such and such unfavorable results. If such a situation continues to develop, they themselves are not very good. Development, this is where they are currently unable to change. Therefore, if you want to change such a situation, you can only let the Koreans change their own strategy. Otherwise, their situation will change significantly.

"Do you think that South Korea and Chu are allied. What will happen to them? What I want to say is the international impact, for example, on the Persian issue, if Koreans and Chu people reach a consensus, they may Because of some problems, we have reached some alliances of interests. In Seth, the people of Zhao are also involved. The regional situation will undergo great changes, and regional conflicts will enter an uncontrollable level. In such conflicts, they will It will form a big disadvantage. We are unlikely to encounter some special situations like this." Meng Yi said. Meng Yi worried that Chu and South Korea were evenly matched. If they form an alliance of interests, it may lead to the outbreak of a war. Although they are far away from the Central Plains, this conflict will not be resolved. It will inevitably lead to a deterioration of the situation.

"We can't stop the development of the situation. Even if we see that, sometimes, we can't do anything about it." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"What we should see is that the Koreans made such a choice, they are also very helpless, after all, they seem to be very encouraging diplomatically, Zhao Guo, Qi Guo, and the southern government of Yan Kingdom, Goguryeo, they gradually The formation of a huge interest group. The Koreans originally wanted to achieve the purpose of checks and balances through our methods, but as a result, our situation has been greatly deviated. We have lost the initiative in our diplomatic strategy. The overall picture There is no concept at all. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for us to develop under such a situation." Shangwen said.

"That is to say, in the face of some situations like this, do we leave it alone?" Meng Yi asked.

"I think that should be the case. We are not prime ministers, and we are not in the position and do not seek political affairs." Shang Wen said. Meng Yi nodded. In fact, Meng Yi understands the truth, but the problem is that in many places, many of Li Si's methods cannot properly handle such situations.

Chu State, Pengcheng. The meeting room of the Chancellery.

Negotiations between Chu and South Korea are proceeding intensely. In terms of technical cooperation, the Koreans are very generous, they have come up with a lot of the technology that the Chu country wants to get, and the Chu people also got their wish, of course. Among them are the contributions of the people of Qin. If the people of Qin were not for naval technical cooperation with them, Chu would not have such developments, and such a situation would still have a relatively large impact on them.

But these are some of the situations. They are also more advantageous in other areas.

Technical negotiations are easy, but negotiations on related interests have fallen into a certain stalemate.

Under the issue of increasing support for Persia by South Korea and Chu, the people of Chu expressed difficulty because they felt that Chu did not need to spend a large amount of financial expenses on a country like Persia, and the people of Chu received The benefits are extremely limited, and Chu people think it has no meaning. Unless they can get more expansion on other territories, otherwise, they still don't want to proceed on this issue.

But the Chu people are also more embarrassed, after all, they have already received more benefits before.
