The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 1646: Power at sea

"My lord, it's best to put aside the establishment of the navy. The current situation is not good for South Korea." The Minister of Economy said worriedly.

"At present, Qin has not started the transportation road. But South Korea has first revealed the navy. I am afraid it will be detrimental to South Korea." The Minister of Economy said.

"If we can take advantage of Qin's eastward trend. South Korea proposes its own naval road, I think it will definitely be beneficial to South Korea." Others also put forward their own views. At present, it seems that Han Shu has established such a big fanfare. Its own navy’s intentions are very unwise, and too rumors. With a strong enemy around, South Korea’s situation is somewhat unwise.

When Han Shu heard this, she frowned. Everyone was basically opposed to her idea. The establishment of the South Korean navy is important, but it is easy to attract Qin’s attention. If Qin takes some necessary measures at this time, then South Korea The situation will be very bad.

However, if it cannot establish its own navy, it will be difficult for South Korea to develop its maritime career. There are numerous pirates and various armed forces on the sea, and these armed forces are already difficult to say clearly. Armed merchant ships of the Chu Kingdom, as well as various amateur pirates, are usually merchants. When encountering weak counterparts, they will not hesitate to turn armed merchant ships into pirate ships. This is not uncommon, as it often happens in the East China Sea. Things. Han Shu's establishment of the navy is actually to strengthen the superiority of South Korean merchant ships in terms of safety.

Unlike Chu’s merchant ships, South Korea’s merchant ships are strongly supported by South Korea. The Chu State was more spontaneously formed by merchants. Compared with South Korea, the power of Chu is very scattered. The risks at sea are great. Han Shu wants to strengthen the control of this risk through the establishment of the South Korean Navy. The establishment of the navy can control the movements of Korean merchant ships.

The second is the control of seagoing vessels. The most important purpose is to develop a whole set of Korean maritime routes that are in line with South Korea’s interests and its own. South Korea is a small country, and compared to Qin, there is no longer any strategic depth to discuss. Coupled with the application of advanced science and technology, Qin can reach Xinzheng, South Korea in one day. South Korea has no power to fight back. South Korea needs great strategic depth. It is obviously impossible to develop to the periphery. Qin Guohui intervened very tyrannically.

If South Korea takes the ocean as its foundation and builds a huge naval force, plus a maritime trade system that maintains the Qin State, then South Korea will have the foundation of its own existence, so that South Korea will have its own strategic depth, and this strategic depth It was built on the basis of the ocean, even though South Korea does not have an outlet to the sea. However, South Korea can still fight for its current strength. To show your will at this time is actually to build a kind of confidence.

Seeing everyone's opposition, Han Shu suddenly felt very upset. At the same time, I feel that no one in such a prime minister's cabinet can understand himself. Han Shu thought she was boring, she shook her head helplessly.

"Since everyone feels that there is a lot of resistance. Let's discuss this matter again." Han Shu said helplessly. Han Shu's enthusiasm for the establishment of the navy is very great, but helplessly, South Korea's attitude towards this matter is very unclear. There are those who oppose it, those who support it, and more are wait-and-see. Regardless of the situation, everyone is negative in this matter. Han Shu was keenly aware of this.

The meeting ended boringly. Han Shu's interest was very high at first, but after such a mess, her interest suddenly became much lower. For such a result, she herself felt very boring.

"Master." Zhang Liang stayed after everyone retreated.

"Oh. Does the prime minister have anything to say?" Han Shu asked when he looked back and saw Zhang Liang wanting to say something.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can't rush for the navy," Zhang Liang said.

"Oh." Han Shu looked at Zhang Liang strangely.

"Why?" Han Shu asked.

"My lord, can you see Qin's navy?" Zhang Liang asked.

"Don't get out of the haven!" Han Shu said.

"Dare to ask the king, why is this?" Zhang Liang asked boldly.

"En." Han Shu frowned. She really didn't know the truth of this. She was just wondering that Qin also had a navy and was the first country to establish a navy. But I don’t know why, Qin’s navy just doesn’t come out. It is said that the Qin’s navy has powerful warships. Ships of other countries are at best warships and sea ships, but Qin’s can be called warships. why. Because Qin's iron hull ships not only consume iron, but also have more powerful technology and stronger firepower. With such a fierce configuration, Qin's navy can indeed go to sea for a battle, and no military force can stop it.

But the strange thing is that Qin's navy just couldn't get out. On the contrary, those Chu State navy forces equipped with a large number of wooden warships, South Korean navy forces appeared in the ocean before Qin State navy, which is very strange.

"Is it going to the sea?" Han Shu asked.

"No." Han Shu said, shaking his head.

"This is not a reason. Qin's navy is powerful, and it is definitely not a problem of going to the sea, and the people of Chu can't stop it at all." Han Shu continued to ask his head.

"Why is this?" Han Shu asked if she couldn't figure out the reason.

"Your Majesty, this Qin Navy can be said to have been established by the Prime Minister Shangwen of the State of Qin. Now Prime Minister Shangwen is not there. This is the situation. This is just a superficial reason." Zhang Liang said carefully.

"En." Han Shu was very surprised. Shangwen did his best to develop the Qin State Navy, but it does not seem that the forces supported by Qin State are too much. Recently, Qin State's military expenditures are tight and financial pressure is very high. The navy side has cut very severely. At one time, the media said. The State of Qin briefly canceled the navy's call for this service. On the contrary, the army was very powerful. Qin people generally believed that the military expenditure of the navy should be transferred to the Qin army and the Marine Corps.

"Tell me, why is this?" Han Shu thought about it carefully, but still couldn't figure out the reason, and asked Zhang Liang.

"Your Majesty, this is the policy of the Qin State. It is also the strategic decision of the Qin State. Prime Minister Shang Wen wants to develop the navy, and he wants to block the six nations through the mobility of the navy. To open up a path from another front. "Zhang Liang said.

Han Shu did not nod at this moment, but was very surprised. But she calmed down quickly. Indeed, if you go south from Bashu in the Qin State along the Yangtze River, relying on the control of the navy and navy. It can quickly encircle the entire six countries. This is a large-scale encirclement strategy. This kind of strategy is not what ordinary people can think of.

"But helplessly, Qin State lacks such a motivation. I am afraid that Prime Minister Shang Wen didn't think of this." Zhang Liang continued.

"Qin attacked the Xiongnu in the north, the Yueshi in the northwest, and the Western Regions. The Qin army was very easy to fight, and the various commercial forces in Qin emerged behind this. Slave traders, railway companies, and mineral companies. , There are also various mercenaries, etc. Almost all of Qin State has received very good benefits, just Guanzhong one area is rich, I don’t know how much. And to attack these areas, Qin’s army and marines were used. The Navy. But there is no way to participate." Zhang Liang said.

"Not only did the navy not participate in it, but on the contrary, it was also excluded. The Qin State Army, which benefited from it, was naturally able to obtain a large amount of military expenditures, and various resources were used on the Qin State Army. On the contrary. The Qin State Army’s value is just that. Far inferior to the Qin State Army. The Qin State Army can obtain a large amount of land, which allows the Qin State’s arable land to be expanded by more than a hundredfold. However, the Qin State Navy cannot compare with the Qin State Army. In this respect, the Qin State’s military expenditure is natural. Lean towards the Qin army." Zhang Liang said.

"In the final analysis, the army's expansion has a foundation. At least some people support it, and the Qin Navy has no support force, no substantial support force, no substantial support force, and naturally there is not much. The value can be used. Qin's navy can only stay in the port and slowly rust." Zhang Liang said.

After listening to Zhang Liang's analysis, Han Shu felt very reasonable. The reason why Qin's navy can't go to sea is because there is no supporting force behind it. It is estimated that Shangwen had this idea when he supported the construction of the navy, because it can be seen from the direction of Qin's railway construction. Two railways. A Bashu, a railway passage to the south. But the value of these two railways is not as great as that of the Northwest Railway. Why. Because the needs are different. The benefits of Qin's construction of the two railways are far inferior to Qin's interests in the northwest. The Qin State not only got land, but also got a lot of taxes and various benefits on it. How could this kind of driving force not allow the Qin Army to develop rapidly.

The Qin State Navy did not have any substantial benefits. On the contrary, Qin State lost a lot of resources, rare steel resources, and various military expenses, material resources, and manpower. However, Qin State did not get any substantial benefits. In addition, Qin State’s recent military expenditures have been tight, and financial pressure has suddenly increased. Qin's navy naturally did not have the strength to go to sea.

"You mean. At present, South Korea does not have enough power, or is there enough power to support South Korea's maritime trade?" Han Shu asked after thinking about it carefully.

"Right." Zhang Liang nodded.

“At present, South Korea’s financial resources are tight, and there is not much power to develop a surplus military. In addition, the private sector does not get the benefits of maritime trade, especially in terms of taxes. On the contrary, South Korea has to provide more funds to support these consumption. Financial strength and military strength. Naturally, everyone opposes or waits and sees," Zhang Liang persuaded.
