"It seems that the problem is huge." Shang Wen looked at the report submitted by Wei Liao with some helplessness. This report came from the Li Xin department. Shang Wen also felt helpless for the problems discovered on the front lines. Qin Jun could use all the technologies that he could use, but the result was still not good.

"Yes, the most important question at the moment is whether the expeditionary force can be withdrawn. We have entered a dilemma. We can't advance further, and we don't know what happened to them. On the other side, We can't get through the logistics supply line, they can't retreat, we can't deliver supplies, and we can't even guarantee communication. The situation is very bad for us." Wei Liao said to Shangwen.

"Yeah. I know about this situation." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"We don't have a good way to solve this problem. What should we do?" Wei Liao asked Shangwen.

"Wait, we can only use all the military technical means on them." Shang Wen said to Wei Liao.

"Okay." Wei Liao was helpless, and Shang Wen had no good way, because he didn't know how to solve these problems. In the face of complex weather conditions, it has greatly exceeded Qin Jun's ability to withstand it. This is extremely detrimental to Qin Jun. But there is no alternative.

"Talk about other things." Shang Wen said.

"The other things are technical issues. From the perspective of future trends, we may have to reduce military expenditures, carry out small-scale reorganizations of the military, and increase the mobility of the troops. Flexibility and application to the servant countries. In this case, we Can reduce expenses." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen.

"Yeah. But on technical issues, if we reduce expenditure, it will cause a lot of technology loss, which is very detrimental to us, and we don't want to see this. Therefore, our approach is to adopt and other The way of cooperation between countries, such as the Royal Navy of South Korea, the Navy of the Royal Family of Chu, and the Army of the State of Zhao, etc., we can cooperate on some military technologies, they pay military expenses, and we can guarantee the application of our technology. If so, we can have a huge military technology reserve and superiority." Wei Liao said.

"Doing so will reduce our expenditure on military technology, but the disadvantage is that our technological monopoly position may be threatened." Wei Liao said with some worry. Wei Liao thought about the advantages of the idea put forward by the technical department of the Ministry of Defense of Qin State. In doing so, he can start a project through technical cooperation, so that he can obtain technical verification, and the cost is minimal, but if you cooperate, there will be some technical leaks. , Or the development of cooperation technology. In this case, the other party’s military technology will develop rapidly. This may cause the loss of Qin’s military technology, but it will allow Qin’s technology to retain a considerable part of the reserves, and at the same time More favorable technological development reserves the technological foundation.

"It's nothing. The technology cannot completely achieve the monopoly. If you don't tell the other party, the other party will also learn. For example, the hand grenade technology. I heard that the South Korean government will make some hand grenade pyrotechnic devices. They are here. The aspect is relatively mature, but because of the primer or the pyrophoric device, they cannot effectively master the technology." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, not just ignition devices, but also boilers, power units, bearings, mechanical transmissions, etc. There is too much cooperation in this area. Zhao Guo is also in such a situation." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen.

"Then start. We also need to cooperate with them in this area. Our vision should be long-term. If Qin gives up further development with the current technology and equipment, I don't think it will take long for us. Will be overtaken by the other party, because the other party is also focusing on technology, they will cultivate a large number of talents, these talents will inevitably surpass Qin in a competitive environment, we should have such a sense of worry, such awareness, it is nothing. Big problem." Shang Wen said.

"We should see that only this kind of technological competition can allow us to maintain this technological advantage. Let's do it boldly, these things are nothing to us." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah. Okay." Wei Liao nodded, indicating that he knew.

"I know what we should do next." Wei Liao said.

"Yeah. It's easy if you know it." Shang Wen nodded.

In Meng Tian’s office, his office is next to Li Ben’s headquarters, very close to the telegraph mail room. Meng Tian can always see the information he wants to see the first time, and there is no such information. Any processed ingredients come directly from the front line, thinking that too few telegrams from the Yueshi area come. Always wait most of the time.

But Meng Tian was very happy today, because the telegrams have been continuous, and he has received reports from the front line. These reports are very long and it took a lot of energy to send them. Meng Tian likes such telegrams because he knows too little about the Western Regions.

Although the content of the telegram has not been effectively sorted and processed, Meng Tian still read it. The report looks a bit like a daily narrative. For example, the Tocharian peace talks represent what kind of things they do every day and what kind of food they like to eat. Food, what they were interested in Qin Jun’s equipment, the questions they asked, where did the language they learned, etc., these details were described in the telegram, and Meng Tian was also quickly looking over it. Then sum it up in your own mind.

Through such narrative telegrams, Meng Tian has learned a lot. For example, the character of Tocharians is probably the kind of people who are good at avoiding major disasters and then can accept some facts and results. For this kind of people, Meng Tian thinks this is the case. People are not easy to deal with, thinking that they have a fresh understanding of powerful people. Through some details, such as language, some of them can use some greetings in a short period of time. What does this mean is that the other party is good at learning. Shangwen once told him that the nation that is good at learning is the most terrible, thinking that they are always learning and digesting your things. Although they are just imitating at the beginning, they will gradually change greatly.

Meng Tian has been in the north for a long time and has a fresher understanding of the Huns and mountain people. For example, the Huns don’t like to learn. They always accept something passively, and only a few people learn actively. Master some things. The mountain people are different. Although most people still stay on the level of filling their stomachs, there are a considerable number of mountain people who are interested in the strength of the Qin country, such as the mountain group. After they are formed, the mountain people You can buy weapons you like. Some people like to spend more money on new weapons, and they collect a lot of various guns. They can always learn something and can quickly disassemble them. Qin Jun didn't teach these things, on the contrary, the Huns couldn't do it. They always accept something passively, and they will learn what the Qin Jun officer teaches. If they don't actively teach it, it is generally difficult for them to accept it. This is the difference.

Therefore, Meng Tian made a judgment that the Huns could gradually be assimilated or absorbed by the Qin State, because they were not good at learning and always passively accept them. The influence of the Qin State was great for them, and the Huns were very influential. Qin's influence is very small. On the contrary, the situation of mountain people is more complicated. They learn actively and use the conditions they get to change some of the environment. For example, they will use weapons in their hands to increase their hunting success. This is a kind of advanced. They learn, accept, and actively change some things. Therefore, the mountains People must be advanced to the Huns, in fact, as described in history. The ethnic minorities from the northeast are more acceptable to them, but the ethnic group from Mongolia maintains their independence. In this way, the learning party poses a greater threat to the Central Plains civilization because they have such advantages.

With this kind of judgment, Meng Tian thinks that the Tocharians are very difficult to deal with. At least in terms of learning, they surpass the Yueshi people. This is the first time such a race has appeared in the region. Meng Tian couldn't help being a little worried.

"Sir, this is the latest telegram received." A lieutenant officer reported.

"Yeah." Meng Tian took the telegram.

"Sir, there is a communication soldier outside. He brought a Tocharian. He said he was the representative of the Tocharian peace talks." The lieutenant then reported.

"Is it looking for me?" Meng Tian asked.

"I think so, that correspondent said." said the lieutenant.

"Okay. Bring me here to see the situation." Meng Tian said to the lieutenant.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant brought the communications soldier.

"Sir, this is a personal order from Chief Bai. Originally, he and four other people wanted to come together, but he insisted on mentioning, come on, there is no way, sir, I have to ride him and send him together." The communication Bing reported. The messenger's face was covered with dust, and the Tocharian could not get there any better. They seemed to have emerged from the soil. Their faces were also very tired, and it seemed that they had rushed over without much rest along the way.

"Yeah." Meng Tian nodded.

"What's his name?" Meng Tian asked.

"What's your name?" the signalman asked slowly.

"Macanos, Seth," the Tocharian said.

"Sir, hello." Seth said in a blunt tone. Then stretched out his right hand, expressing very kindness.

"Haha." Meng Tian laughed when he saw such a scene. It was the first time he saw the other person talking to him in such a tone.

"Damn it," the communicator on the side cursed.
