"The Admiralty’s proposal is indeed very constructive. At present, all countries are actively developing their own naval careers. The Koreans have obtained a good access to the sea through their own efforts. The people of Qi have a vast natural coastline, and this coastline is enough for them. Develop their own naval base. Yan people also have them, but the port of Yan country is north and there is a long ice period. However, the country’s financial resources are insufficient to allow them to build their own navy. In this way, only Zhao China, compared with Wei State, does not have its own naval career, but our Qin State is far behind, and Chu people have more outlets to the sea than ours.” Meng Yi said after analyzing.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded. He believed that the Admiralty had put forward a constructive plan. Qin's naval development has been limited to the Yangtze River. The biggest reason for inaction may come from the issue of the Yangtze River. The outlet to the sea is not good, because the outlet is restricted to the people of Chu. Although the Yangtze River is very convenient, for the Qin in the upper and middle reaches, the Chu people’s neck is stuck. This is the weak underbelly of the Qin’s navy, which has also become The Qin Navy became an important reason for the opponent's inland fleet.

"As for the North, I think it is not suitable for the development of naval business. First of all, the winter there is an important reason. The winter is long and the port facilities need to rely on railways. We do not have such railway facilities to complete this. This requires a lot of investment. Funds for construction. Judging from the current situation, I’m afraid it’s not optimistic.” Meng Yi said.

"Although there is a large amount of wood, I think this is not enough to become an important naval base. Or we should consider the south, which is beneficial to the south." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"No. I don't think so." Shang Wen said his opinion at this time. And rejected Meng Yi's ideas.

"If you think about it, the South shows that it seems very conducive to the construction of naval bases. However, Qin still has no access to the sea. In fact, Qin is still a country dominated by the mainland, which is also a country with a weak naval position. Important reason. Because we don’t need the navy, the navy develops slowly. If the naval base is placed overseas, where does the logistics supply for the naval base come from? No. In fact, we are equivalent to abandoning the navy directly. But if Building in the north, it seems that there are many disadvantages. For example, in the cold winter, the freezing period is very long, but in fact, our navy relies on the huge land as support, but it is even more advantageous. Without the railway, we can build the railway, and the railway will expand to There, we will build there. Moreover, we have not controlled the entire north. There are still Huns in the cold north. Although they continue to move westward, in fact this situation still exists, and the northern part of the Qin Dynasty still exists. There is a certain threat. Only when the State of Qin expands to the north can it be regarded as a complete control of the area, and if it controls the area, it can directly build its own naval base." Shang Wen said.

"Logistics can be built by relying on railways. In this way, the army and the navy must cooperate to complete it." Meng Yi said.

"Yes," Shang Wen said.

"Solving the problems in the north may be the only way for us to develop the navy, and now we have such an opportunity. Shipyards need a lot of wood, which we can obtain from the north, which indirectly stimulates our drive to develop the north." Shang Wen said.

"Well. This is indeed a very good opportunity." Meng Yi said.

"For the specific situation, we still need to plan some things. We also need to discuss the situation with the general staff." Shang Wen said. Shipbuilding does require a lot of wood, especially good wood. Most of the wood in Nanyang is wet and suitable as furniture. The trees in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are good materials for building ships, but it takes time, perhaps the large coniferous forests in the north. This demand can be met, coupled with the molding of baking technology. It can greatly stimulate the State of Qin to do so.

Inside the Wang Ben headquarters.

"I don't know what the situation of the Yueshi people is like? Will they retreat. You know, the situation is very unfavorable for them." Meng Tian said to Wang Ben.

"I don’t think we need to worry. What is worried is whether the Yue people are being chased and beaten by the Indians. But in my opinion, the Indians are unlikely to take the initiative to fight back, or if they fight back, they may be Very limited." Wang Ben said.

"Why do you say that?" Meng Tian asked Wang Ben.

"Have you never seen the Indians? They are strictly hierarchical and have a strong sense of obedience. As long as you have a strong force, the opponent's resistance will be very limited, and their expressions are relatively numb. This is my opinion of the Indians. The first impression is very bad." Wang Ben said with a wine glass.

"It can be said that they are not as good as the Western Regions. The Western Regions resisted a little bit. It is a pity that their country is too small to resist. The Indians, it seems that they don’t care about anything, or that they seem to be A country, but it may be looser internally. This is also the reason why the Yueshi people can beat the opponent so quickly." Wang Ben analyzed.

"Perhaps your analysis has some reliable factors. It sounds reasonable, but I think it is better to be more cautious in such a country. The domestic situation seems to be more complicated. The Chu people are in trouble, and they met in the West. When it comes to the Mengla people, the Mengla people bully the Chu merchants. There may be a war between the two sides." Meng Tian said to Wang Ben.

"Well, can the Chu people run this far? I see, without the Korean navy, the Chu people can't do anything. The Mengla people are nothing. What I care about is the choice of the army minister in China. I heard that the army The Ministry was established separately. This is to carry out a large-scale re-planning of the Qin Army. This is a signal that we should pay attention to." Wang Ben said.

"Yeah." Meng Tian nodded. He knew the idea of ​​the Prime Minister’s Office, cutting military expenditures. The army’s expenditures have always been the bulk. This time the Ministry of War and the Ministry of the Navy were established. This may be the intention. The Ministry of the Army will be reduced, and the Ministry of the Navy will gradually be reduced. Balance with the War Department.

"But the army's development cannot stand still, we need a brand new reform." Wang Ben said.

"How do you think of reform?" Meng Tian asked.

"Increase the mobility of the army, but this kind of mobility is best not to rely on railways, such as aircraft, airships and other aircraft, which requires the development of army aviation. In addition, the army’s firepower needs to be increased, and the range and power of artillery must be increased. Large-scale increase. New artillery and machine guns, the kind that is easy to carry, water-cooled machine guns are very powerful, but they are too heavy for the army." Wang Ben said.

"In my opinion, these expenses are too much. This seriously hinders the economic development of Qin State. It is unlikely that the Prime Minister's Mansion will agree to do so. I think that the army may have to stop for a long time in the next few years." Meng Tian was right. Wang Ben said.

"Indeed." Wang Ben nodded, regarding the development of the army. Wang Ben has already felt it. He realized that the bottleneck that the army is facing cannot be solved. Although the army is very large and powerful, the army has many problems and it is very difficult to solve it. This is the biggest difficulty facing the Qin Army.

Chu State Pengcheng.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this war has reached this point and has to be fought." Fan Zeng resolutely said to King Chu.

"Well, the widows have the same meaning. The widows of Chu State has just been established. We can't let them look down on us just because of the small Bangla nation. Even if he is thousands of miles away, the widows of Chu army must be destroyed. He, this war is not only going to be fought, but also to be fought, and the country of Bangladesh that was fought has completely disappeared." Said negative firmly. The smell of gunpowder from the war in the entire side hall was very strong, and Chen Ping was still swaying, and they were struggling all the way. As soon as I arrived in Pengcheng, I immediately came here to discuss matters.

"But my lord, how is this war going to be fought? Dare to ask the Prime Minister, how about the military preparations?" Xiang Yan asked concerned. He knows that the possibility of a war is very high. Recently, lawmakers are discussing such a matter. Xiang Yan knew that this matter could not be easily resolved. A large number of newspapers came from the north, and the newspapers thoroughly reported the matter. This aroused the patriotism of the Chu people. Many Chu people thought that they deceived too much. They decided to fight against Bangladesh. The people have already done so. Not to mention the court, but the war must not be so easy to speak. If not prepared enough, it would have been a huge defeat, and Chu has never faced such a situation. The war was fought thousands of miles away. This has greatly exceeded Chu’s expectations, because of Chu. Never thought that the war would go to war under such circumstances.

"My lord, this matter has been resolved. As long as our Chu government honors the previous land bond agreement, then a larger number of war bonds can be issued, the scale and quantity will far exceed the previous land bonds, and it will be completely resolved. The problem of funding." Fan Zeng said with some excitement.

"Oh. But for this land bond, the Chu government has no financial funds to settle it." Ng said embarrassedly.

"Land, king, there are a lot of unowned lands overseas. These lands are our resources. We can plan and distribute these lands to holders of bonds. Land is capital. With land, we can The plantation economy can be developed, and with the plantation war, we will never stop fighting, because we have the demand for slaves." Fan Zeng said with some excitement. And Chen Ping on the side was a little dizzy. He knew what Fan Zeng said next, Triangle Trade.
