Chapter 711: Persuade

Qin's naval air force not only modified the fighters of both sides equipped with floats. At the same time, they also plan to build another type of ship, which is specially designed to park this kind of seaplane. When taking off, use the lifting equipment installed on the ship to lift to the surface of the water. Then the plane takes off, and subsequently, the combat aircraft can conduct operations without any geographical restrictions.

Then when the aircraft is recovered, as long as the ship is parked where the aircraft landed. Then use the lifting equipment again to lift it back.

At present, Qin Guo is working on drawings of this kind of ship, followed by model testing, and then entering the experimental stage, before finally considering equipping this kind of seaplane mother ship. This idea is very close to the idea of ​​an aircraft carrier, but there is still a big difference from the aircraft carrier. If Qin wants to make big progress, such as entering the hope of building an aircraft carrier, then a strong opponent must promote its development. The approach of aircraft takeoff and landing efficiency.

However, the Qin State Navy does not have such great hopes, and they are working hard to restore the dream of a large fleet of the Qin State Navy. Affected by the Qin Chu Yangtze River Trade. Shipbuilding stocks began to rise sharply after a period of sharp decline a year ago. This also shows that the shipbuilding industry has begun to become a bright spot for Qin Guoxin's economy.

In the south, various shipbuilding industries in Qin began to rise rapidly, and shipyards of various sizes were established one after another. With the establishment of shipyards, especially the demand for armed merchant ships. Although Chu water pirates still attacked Qin’s armed merchant ships, and as the number of attacks continued to increase, especially after some water pirates attacked Qin’s armed merchant ships, they began to change into new weapons. The equipment of these weapons gave the water pirates its strength. Exceeding the equipment of the local Chu State navy, it can be said that the ranking of water weapons and equipment is Qin first, the water thief second, and the Chu navy is the last.

With the manufacture of armed merchant ships, especially the relaxation of weapons restrictions, some military factories have begun to target the emerging market of Chu State. They believe that Chu State may become their next major arms consumption market. The population of Chu State is more than that of Qin State. Although the region is not as big as the Qin State, his population density is high, and the number of troops is more than the current Qin State. As a result, some military-industrial companies began to set up branch factories in the south. There is another reason for setting up branch factories. That is, they want to arm the merchant shipping business by intervening, which means that the merchant ships are equipped with weapons, especially if the Navy wants to suppress bandits. , Then a lot of weapon installations are needed, so they think this is a new business opportunity.

As a result, a large number of gun manufacturing equipment and machine tools began to be transported by rail to Wancheng, where the Qin State Southern Railway can be opened to traffic. There are also railways in other places, but the railways are always intermittent and cannot be connected. In the next step, Qin State is planning to connect these intermittent railways into a whole section. After arriving in Wancheng, Qin will use tracked vehicles to transport these equipment to the Southern Naval Shipyard, or directly build a military industrial enterprise in Wancheng. The Qin government has this plan. They believe that Qin's military enterprises should not be confined to Guanzhong, but should expand on a large scale. This approach is to strategically ensure the smooth supply of weapons to the State of Qin. But in fact, this approach is taking a lot of the arms market of the six countries.

There are only two weapons production bases in Qin. The largest production base is Guanzhong. The weapons production here is quite complete. Various weapons can be produced here. The annual production of various types of guns can reach 800,000, provided that there is a military order. . The number of artillery pieces stabilized at around 3,000, not because of the low productivity of Qin's weapons, but because the demand was not very strong. However, the consumption of bullets is huge. Qin State will produce 30 million rounds of various bullets every year.

In addition to guns, there is also Qin's aircraft manufacturing industry, where all of Qin's airships and aircraft are produced. There are also new wheeled and tracked armored combat vehicles. But these numbers are not very large.

Behind the production of these weapons is a large number of scientific laboratories, Qin State made the earliest wind tunnel test. This kind of wind tunnel experiment is still very primitive, it is a slightly larger electric fan for airflow experiment. There are some simple electrical laboratories. Mainly aimed at radio technology. There are also some electro-optics in these laboratories. The so-called point optics is actually a combination of optics and electricity. The main purpose is to create a microscope that uses electrical technology. However, this technology will bring some convenience to optical lenses.

In short, the types of weapons produced here are very comprehensive. And it is very complete. It is currently the most comprehensive weapons production base in China. In addition to Guanzhong, another base is the Guyang weapons production base in northern Qin. There is also an important industrial zone. However, the weapons produced there are mainly guns and ammunition. Or it's an armored train. Other than that, there are no big projects. Moreover, the demand for weapons production there is mainly supplied to the Qin Army and Zhao Jun in the north. Yan Jun’s purchase volume is not very large.

But now it is changing. Because Shang Wen brought an unacceptable opinion to Yan Guo's special envoy. It is not so much an opinion as it is a list of military weapons procurement.

This list includes the purchase of more than 3,000 format machine guns. These machine guns range from heavy water-cooled machine guns to light air-guided machine guns. In addition, there is a large number of rifles and pistol equipment. And all kinds of bullets that have not yet been counted.

In addition. Qin Guo also plans to purchase artillery in large quantities. From three-inch infantry howitzers to five-inch and six-inch heavy artillery. Even the three-inch infantry mortars are included, and the total number of various artillery pieces exceeds 3,000. This is almost the quantity of artillery produced by Qin in a year.

"This." Yan Guo's special envoy could not speak any more after seeing the long list of weapons. Because he didn't know what to say. This list of weapons is too long. And the final amount is even more amazing. More than one million gold. This is just an introduction, because behind these weapons there is a large amount of weapon and ammunition consumption. And personnel training costs. And various equipment transportation equipment. Those heavy artillery need a lot of cows and horses to pull.

"My suggestion is that Yan will directly hire troops from Zhao to fight. These weapons are the weapons and equipment that you must provide to Zhao. What Qin has to do is to provide you with diplomatic convenience. At the same time, let ours The factory does its best to produce these weapons." Shang Wen explained.

In fact, this is the best advice Qin can give to Yan, but the best and cheapest thing to fight is landmines, but Qin and Zhao’s military all agree that landmines can only be used in conjunction with large forces to achieve the highest performance. The effect.

However, when the two major military forces of Qin and Zhao conspired to sell the war to Yan, the situation in Yan was seriously tilted again. This tilt comes from the collapse of the front line.

It only took the Qi army a few days to encircle all the tens of thousands of the Yan army, and the resistance of the Yan army in the encircling circle was not very strong, and some surrendered just after the encirclement. Others used stronger fortifications to resist for a while, thinking that the Qi army was too cruel. They don't want to die in their hands. They want to survive.

"Damn. What the **** did you do earlier." A Qi army soldier kicked a Yan army prisoner of war who was holding his head with a rifle. Then he waved the **** of his rifle and gave it to a prisoner in front of him.

"Okay. Enough." said a man who looked like a junior officer.

The upper-level officers of the Qi army also discovered the bad effects of casually killing the prisoners, so they began to severely stop this from happening. But even so, there were frequent killings of prisoners of war, especially such incidents of casual beating and scolding.

Although the behavior was stopped, the resisting Yan army still did not want to surrender. After surrendering, they were killed. If they did not surrender, they could live a while longer. Therefore, most of Yan Jun chose to persist.

But Qi Jun did not want to see such a stalemate. They hope to solve the Yan army in these encirclement as soon as possible, because only after the Yan army is solved can they make great strides forward. So the front line began to launch large-scale assault tactics for the final siege.

The fight between the trapped beasts is particularly fierce. Especially this kind of survival battle. The previous assault tactics of Baishi Bailing seemed so ineffective at this time. Even after using explosives to blow up the Yanjun's bunker, there is no way. Because their rifle shooting positions are still there, what is terrible is that pistols and portable machine guns cannot withstand this long-range killing at all in the firing range, especially after the machine guns are added. Yan Jun increased his vigilance awareness. And specializes in stretching long distances and fighting with Qi army commandos. The commando uses automatic bursts of weapons. The range of this weapon is not very far. But the shooting speed is extremely fast.

Faced with such a situation. Qi Jun began to think of another way. The storm is no longer possible. Because they have tried several times, but the results are all empty.

Since force attack is not enough, then psychological warfare begins.

"Hey, Yan Jun on the opposite side, look at who this is. It's your own brothers." A soldier of the Qi Army called out loudly standing in the trench.

Then Qi Jun let a row of unbound Yan Jun prisoners stand out of the trenches.

"Hurry up, say you are your own. Hurry up." A Qi army soldier urged quietly.

"Hey, yes, sir," the Yanjun prisoner of war nodded and said.

"We are our own. Brothers. Surrender. Don't fight. It's not worth it." Yan Jun's prisoner of war didn't seem to be very good at talking. Speaking is not charismatic at all.

"Say useful." The Qi army soldier said anxiously.

"Yes, sir." Yan Jun's prisoner of war nodded and said.

"Hurry up and surrender. Brothers." Yan Jun's prisoner of war exclaimed. When the soldiers of the Qi army heard such shouts, they really wanted to shoot the prisoner of war.
