Chapter 973: Let's take a gamble

The overall economic situation of Qin State is prosperous and developing. However, there are often great hidden dangers behind such prosperity and development. The faster the economy develops, the more likely it is that there will be problems behind it, especially for someone from the future like Shang Wen, who is deeply worried about the tremendous destructive effects of the economic crisis. But the economic crisis is inevitable.

"Sooner or later, we will face an economic crisis even more terrifying than war. Moreover, we will have to do it every once in a while. We cannot avoid it. We can only accept this fact." Shang Wen said to a report to himself. Said the economic data clerk.

The clerk felt very strange. He did not understand why the helm of the Qin State had to say such things. He also did not understand that Qin State would experience something more terrifying than war. What is this thing. He didn't know it himself.

Qin State's economic performance is good. Although Shang Wen wanted to try his best to avoid the economic crisis, he didn't know how to start from above. At the same time, I don't know what to do. After all, he is a weapon expert, not an economic expert. Economic matters need to be solved by economic experts. What Shang Wen can do is to maintain the current balance.

There are still many things in Qin's country, and these things mainly focus on legal affairs. Many new affairs have been born in Qin State without interruption. The birth of these new things urgently needs laws and regulations to improve its system, otherwise, the entire social system will be chaotic. A new thing is not just as simple as its birth. His ultimate goal is to integrate into the whole society. Serve this society.

Although Qin’s legal system is better than that of the six countries, there is still a long way to go from the developing ideal society. The current legislative power lies in the discussion between the king of Qin, Shangwen, and the ministers. As for the private sector, only those remote states have local legislative power, which lies in the central government. The public still lacks ordinary legislative power. This puts Shang Wen under a lot of pressure.

Although Shangwen wants to make great progress in the legislative power, Shangwen cannot touch this power now, because the legislative power will touch the royal power. In this society with serious royal power. Anyone who wants to touch the kingship, the result is very tragic. Shang Wen hasn't touched this idea from the hands of the king for the time being. He can only wait. Waiting for the opportunity.

At the temporary garrison of the Yandu Allied Forces of the State of Yan, a cavalry contingent of 7,000 men gathered in secret under the cover of late night.

"Everyone must assemble. Hurry up." A cavalry captain said with his horse in a large area where various cavalry were assembled.

"Sir, our men and horses are all assembled over there." At this time, a Zhao Jun cavalry ensign led his horse and said.

"Sir, with such a large assembly order, is it because we have a big battle to fight?" the second lieutenant asked.

"I don't know, I just received the order, and I was about to assemble suddenly. Maybe it was an exercise. According to the habits of the people of Qin, such a big battle would be impossible without a large-scale exercise," the captain said.

"Yes, I have also participated in several exercises, and then I was suddenly told to be sent here. It seems that only after the exercises it is possible to enter a state of war." The ensign said.

"Maybe, what we are going to participate in this time is an exercise." The ensign said comfortingly.

The captain ignored the ensign's question and answer. The captain felt vaguely that this was not like participating in an exercise, but more like the beginning of a large-scale battle, because the other order he received was to let his own The subordinates received full ammunition. And the ration of ammunition has increased a lot at once. The order also suggested that a company should bring three times the ammunition supply.

The captain was very dissatisfied with this order, because carrying a large amount of ammunition meant that the mobility of the cavalry was much reduced, and the number of horses had not changed much. This made the captain very dissatisfied, and at the same time, brought so many ammunition. The captain is very suspicious that this operation is likely to be a real military operation.

The captain's current thoughts are just a guess, and specific orders have not yet been received. Because the order of sudden assembly was sudden.

And in the cavalry unit of the brigade. Some veterans of the cavalry also noticed something wrong.

"Let me." Several soldiers in charge of logistics carried their guns. The two passed by the veteran carrying a box of ammunition.

"What are they carrying?" a second-class soldier asked.

"Damn it. It looks like ammunition." The veteran glanced at the box and said.

"Ammunition." The second-class soldier said in surprise.

"Yes, it seems to be live ammunition, not empty ammunition." The veteran said calmly.

"Live ammunition, what does it mean, why do you need to carry live ammunition?" the second class soldier asked.

"How do I know." The veteran said disdainfully.

"It's very possible that we will have a big battle. Only when there is a big battle. Live ammunition will be released." The veteran said.

"War," the second class soldier said.

"Yes, the war. There are so many people." The veteran turned his head and pointed to the continuously assembled forces.

"I heard others say that this is an exercise." The second class soldier said.

"Damn it, have you heard that the exercise uses live ammunition?" the veteran asked rhetorically.

"This is really a big battle." The second class soldier said to himself.

The veterans were disdainful of the excessive reaction of the second-class soldiers, because many recruits were inexplicably nervous about the new battle. Follow the nervous recruits. Veterans also feel bad. Because, tension is not a good thing on the battlefield, because of tension, everything can happen. The veterans know very well that so many things will happen to these recruits and cause great trouble to the veterans.

The veteran has accepted this fact quite frankly. In their view. They will enter the war sooner or later. The recruits are different. They are still very new to war. Everything is new and unknown.

"All platoons and squad units, come and collect ammunition." At this time, the soldier carrying the ammunition box shouted loudly.

"Wow." The Zhao Jun cavalry in the assembly clearing exploded the pot. Ammunition, which means that there is going to be a big battle. All the soldiers hung their hearts in their throats.

The Zhao Jun cavalry began to collect ammunition in units of squads.

And not far away, a cavalry Zhao Jun cavalry officer was discussing something with a lieutenant colonel.

"Have all our ammunition been distributed?" the colonel asked nervously.

"It's being distributed." The lieutenant colonel said, looking at the trembling colonel. He didn't know if it was a bit cold at night or other reasons. In short, the colonel looked a little nervous.

"Okay." The colonel just nodded.

"After the ammunition is released. We will deliver the order in a moment." said the colonel.

"What order?" the lieutenant colonel asked.

"Yes, the command of the brigade commander," said the colonel.

"We are going to launch an attack," the colonel said.

"We have to go a long distance to block the Qi army's back road. This is our task. Our logistics supplies rely solely on the ammunition we carry. The entire battlefield is full of unknowns and challenges." said the colonel. .

"This is our plan." the lieutenant colonel asked.

"Yes. The above order. We will have more than 7,000 men and a cavalry brigade participating in the battle." said the colonel.

"Did you see the infantry in front?" the colonel said.

"It is estimated that their orders have been issued. They will start operations earlier than us. They are infantry units. They are slow to move, we have to rush in front of them and block the Qi army. Then they came from behind the Qi people, and they came up hard. Son," said the colonel.

"This is all our plan. It's bold. However, I think it's a bit risky," the colonel said.

"I don't know why, I always feel that this plan is a bit wrong. We don't have any backup force. The cavalry unit that has just been reinforced is incorporated into the combat unit. I don't know how to say it." The colonel said sadly.

The lieutenant colonel on the side didn't know until this moment that their troops were going to participate in a large-scale military operation. Moreover, he didn't even know about this military operation until the last moment.

"We have not experienced an exercise before, and we have conducted such a large military operation. There is also our brigade." The lieutenant colonel asked questioningly at this time.

"Don't they know? The two cavalry regiments we are participating in this time are from different combat divisions. And they belong to different combat units. In addition, there are some combat units of different levels incorporated into us. I really doubt that the above Are people crazy?" The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"I don't know." said the colonel. This military operation. Zhao Jun drew the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the First Division of the Zhao Army and the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the Second Division of the Zhao Army. The 1st Cavalry Regiment also participated or fought, and they had just returned from the north. The Second Cavalry Regiment is a newly formed cavalry unit, and their personnel and equipment are very new. Without much combat experience, the officers are all young officers. The number of veterans is very small. Training is not sufficient. In addition, there are some temporary cavalry battalions that have just been formed and have not been incorporated into any troops, and cavalry companies have also been chaotically incorporated into these combat troops. In order to achieve unified command, Zhao Jun temporarily organized the two cavalry regiments into a mixed first cavalry brigade. The brigade commander is commanded by an experienced brigadier general. This has allowed Zhao Jun to reduce the trouble in command.

But this military operation. The brigadier himself did not have too high a positive evaluation.

"My brigade comes from two different combat units, and there are many messy military units joining in." The brigadier said.

"Everything is too hasty. Let us havetily on the battlefield, I don't know if I can win this battle." The brigadier said without any certainty.

"We can only take a gamble." The brigadier general said at the meeting.
