Chapter 718: North Korean guests

"This is Qin's latest weapon, an armored chariot." Wang Jian introduced.

"This kind of weapon can attack. Retreat and defend. The most important thing is that unless there is artillery attack. Otherwise, it can't be destroyed at all." Wang Jian said.

"The most important thing is that this weapon does not require horses to pull. It also uses crawlers. This way of advancement can crush all the infantry in front of him." Wang Jian confidently introduced. The special envoy, ambassador, and prince Dan of Yan all showed great enthusiasm for this weapon.

In the Warring States Period, the greatest threat to the infantry phalanx was the vehicle. In the past, the State of Qin had equipped a large number of tanks as a battlefield assault and mobile force. In particular, the huge impact of tanks poses a great threat to infantry. And Yan State is also a veteran Warring States. In the understanding of this veteran Warring States. The tank has an unparalleled status. Before, Yan Guo also tried to restore the chariot force. But with the rapid renewal of infantry firearms, as well as the emergence of artillery and cavalry units, this heavy weapon has withdrawn from the stage of history. Moreover, the role played on the battlefield is small.

The first is that his goal is huge. And the combat effect is not very good. The four-horse-horse-drawn chariot hardly has the opportunity to backhand in front of the shotgun fired by artillery. A hit of four or two horses may cause the tank to overturn. In a high-speed impact, this self-overturning will bring a series of unimaginable consequences.

Secondly, with the emergence of automated weapons, especially machine guns. In the high-speed shooting of eggs, it is difficult for the carriage to form effective combat power, and even the more mobile cavalry may withdraw from the battlefield. In a rain of up to 500 bullets in a minute, no **** body can block the bullets that are fired at high speed.

At last. That is, the overall defensiveness of the carriage is not strong. This can be found in the idea of ​​the emergence of armored combat vehicles. Tanks are actually another nickname for armored fighting vehicles. The earliest mobile weapon of mankind was the chariot, but the human industrial civilization changed its driving mode and equipped it with armor to a certain degree of defensiveness. On this basis, weapons were added, and in this way, a brand-new weapon with a perfect combination of defense and offense was formed. This is the armored fighting vehicle.

"Can this weapon be sold to us?" Yan Guo's special envoy asked eagerly.

"Of course. Right now, Yan State's situation is very bad. Therefore, our king will let us show you Qin State's weapons and equipment display." Wang Jian apparently became a weapon sales specialist.

"To be honest, such weapons are only equipped with one battalion in Qin. If necessary, our factory can produce more tanks." Wang Jian said.

"General, you also know that Yan State is in a very bad situation now. We need new equipment, especially excellent weapons like tanks. We hope that we can take these weapons immediately, immediately, and pay now." Prince Dan Interrupted eagerly at the time.

"Well, in terms of price." Wang Jian came to a joke at this time.

"It's easy to say, the equipment of a battalion in the country of Yan is still out." Prince Dan said loudly. He planned it well. This military expenditure is paid out of one's own property. Prince Dan has served as a hostage in Qin for a long time. In fact, this kind of hostage doesn't make much sense anymore. Moreover, King Qin thought so too. But this is a tradition after all. Even if the Qin State does not need such hostages, the Yan State does it because it is necessary to improve the relationship between the Qin State. This is a gesture of sincerity.

But this kind of move gave Yan Guo Tai Zi Dan another unique advantage, which was to take advantage of Qin's rapid development. In Qin State, he bought a large number of Qin State industrial products at low prices, from steel, steel pipe, cement, asphalt, to screws, screwdrivers, etc. A series of products, he sold a lot of them to Yan State, and made money from them. The huge price difference is enough to make Prince Dan the richest man in the country of Yan. However, he just dumped the goods and did not participate in the construction of the country. This is mainly because he has been in Qin for a long time.

However, the patriotism of Prince Dan allowed him to purchase the equipment of this battalion at his own expense. Wang Jian also hopes to see such results. But the savvy Prince Dan offered another additional condition. The additional conditions are quite generous and bold.

That is to help Yan State establish the Yan State Air Force. At the same time, retrain a new-style Yan army. This Yanjun is equipped with a new type of smokeless gunpowder and pulls a rotating magazine rifle. And water-cooled and air-cooled machine guns. In addition, there are slap artillery used by infantry and infantry light and heavy artillery. After these weapons and equipment were equipped with three fully-staffed divisions, Qin State exported a batch of weapons manufacturing machine tools to Yan State, allowing Yan State to manufacture subsequent weapons production.

This proposal stunned Ju Xin, Yan Guo's special envoy. Wang Jian thinks it is very tricky, because it involves the politics of the Yan Kingdom, and this kind of politics is very delicate. The power struggle between the king and the prince. Especially the father-son relationship. And its core is the issue of military control. Qin's military. Wang Jian avoided this issue on the spot, citing the need to consider technology patents. But armored fighting vehicles and infantry weapon systems can be discussed. As for arms exports, processing and manufacturing. This State of Qin needs further consideration.

However, just as the two countries purchased armored combat vehicles and equipment for a battalion, a new situation has taken place on the Eastern Front. The forward of Qi Jun has hit the border of Yan State. As expected by the Qin military. The local troops of the Yan army began to rout without contact. Their weapons are not as powerful as the Qi army.

A Yan State flag was thrown down from a dilapidated county seat in Yan State. What was replaced was the Qi Army battle flag and the cavalry flag.

\"Follow me into the city." A Qi army cavalry officer shouted loudly.

"Charge." The Qi army cavalry rushed into the city quickly, and as the Qi army entered, it marked the fall of the county. The county seat of Yan State took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender before officially entering the city. The local governor knew very well that with the dilapidated city, it was impossible to withstand the attacks of explosives and artillery shells. It is better to surrender actively than to be harmed by innocent people. And the local garrison ran away without even fighting.

The main force of the Yan army has become an empty shell. On the surface, there is only a large establishment of 30,000 people, but in fact there are only more than 5,000 people, and these 5,000 people cannot even fire a gun. It is even more impossible to go to war.

This is especially true for the local army. For example, in the small county town that just surrendered, the local garrison had bows and arrows. Some soldiers still use bronze Ge and Halberds as weapons. Some private armed forces are already equipped with machine guns. Especially Qi Jun has realized the rhythm of full replacement of firearms. However, the army of Yan State still uses cold weapons. This difference in weapons directly affects the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides. Needless to say, it is wise to surrender and escape.

However, such equipment is everywhere from the border to Yandu, and it is impossible to form combat effectiveness at all.

But the country of Yan is very special in Liaodong, where there are mountain people in the north. These mountain people have strong winds. Even the best-equipped Qin Army can only play a tie with the opponent in the mountains. The east and south of Liaodong are North Korea. These Koreans formed some small countries, which began to move south from today's Changbai Mountain to live on the Korean Peninsula. The reason for this is because in Liaodong. The Yan civil inter-military organization and the mercenaries of the Qin State cooperated together. Constantly launch attacks on it. Continuously harass his life.

Such harassment is disastrous. Large numbers of people were taken away as slaves. Some old, weak, sick and disabled were killed directly, and their belongings were robbed as trophies. This kind of harassment cuts off the signs of human activity in this area from its roots. Then, these armed forces will establish an activity base in this settlement. Then continue to expand around. The north has a great demand for slaves. This demand leads to continuous war harassment.

This is also true, so that the North Koreans in the east and the south form some small countries. In order to resist the continuous harassment of armed organizations, these small countries jointly established the North Korean State, which also has a confederate system. That is the meaning of the national consortium. The leader takes turns taking turns. The current stable settlement of such a country is on the south bank of the Yalu River today. They hope that the river will serve as a line of defense against armed groups.

This kind of harassment tempered the armed forces among Yan's citizens. They are good at sneak attacks, reconnaissance, and mountain operations. This is the current reserve combat force of the Yan Kingdom. But to this force. Neither State Qin nor State Yan noticed. But let another country know. This country is Qi.

United Korea, Shangwen called it this way in subsequent expressions. The United North Korea believes that it cannot sit still like this. They believe that the biggest threat their country faces is the constant harassment in the north. This kind of harassment is disastrous, because the United Korea lost a lot of people. United Korea is a light agricultural country. This country can grow certain crops, such as millet in the Central Plains. But there is no technology to grow wheat. The rest is dependent on hunting. In terms of technology, he also knows how to smelt bronze.

But these are very backward for those countries that can keep shooting with guns. Coupled with the stimulation of the slave trade. This kind of infringement makes United North Korea feel a great sense of crisis.

To this end, United North Korea began to actively seek foreign aid. They arrived in Qi by sea and by boat, and they were constantly communicating with the fishermen of Qi. They finally knew that Qi was at war with their enemy. Moreover, the enemy could not beat this country. After getting this news. United North Korea sent a special diplomatic mission to Qi.
