"If you invest in new technologies, you must have a new demand. However, the current development speed of Qin is still relatively fast. In contrast, Qin has transferred a large number of mature technologies. These mature technologies will further squeeze Qin’s traditional In terms of field advantages, if Qin wants to maintain such technological advantages, he must use brand-new technologies. Investing in new technologies will become a demand, a strong demand.” Xiao He further explained his views.

"Yeah. However, we should also take the initiative in other fields. For example, steel, cement, and Zhao are all able to manufacture on a large scale. We cannot compete with them in this regard. In addition, Zhao has a huge share of coal energy. The advantage of this kind of advantage is very obvious, and we can’t cooperate with them. However, they lack effective power generator sets, but we can produce. From the perspective of future development, the demand for electricity will be very large. We can produce such a generator set, and naturally we can let Zhao Guoren solve this problem for us." Yingyu said with a smile. She knows that the next investment plan will be developed in the direction of new technology, and Qin needs to maintain such a technological advantage.

Qin State, Western Regions, Meng Tian's office.

"Hey." Meng Tian looked at the telegram in his hand and shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ben asked.

"The Moon’s Second Army launched a sneak attack. It was a success at the beginning. It’s a pity that those **** Indians dug too many trenches. As a result, the Yue’s reinforcements were unable to reinforce them, causing the final The failure of the action. It's a pity. It's a pity." Meng Tian said.

"A trench, a small trench, can cause such a big loss?" Wang Ben asked.

"I am also quite clear about this. Did our defense line have trenches instead of digging? Qi and Chu have fought a lot of battles. They were trench battles for digging trenches. The power of trench warfare is for us, It’s too familiar. Rifles cannot hit enemies hiding in trenches, and the lethality of artillery is very limited. The most important thing is that the trenches can give out the advantage of close combat. Our muskets are designed to kill enemies from a distance. , For the approaching enemy, the bayonet is used, but in the trench, the bayonet cannot be deployed at all. It is equivalent to holding a spear while the opponent uses a short knife. In this case, what advantage can we have "Meng Tian said.

"In this way, this is troublesome? If I were an Indian, I would dig a lot of trenches. In this case, the impact on us would be very large." Wang Ben said.

"This is indeed the case. The Indians have already done this. According to the telegrams near the other defense lines, the Indians seem to have promoted this method, trench warfare, and they have accepted it. In this way, the Yue people The mobile offensive advantage will be wiped out, and the cost of offense will be very high." Meng Tian said worriedly. He worried that this move would be very detrimental to the Yue people, because trench warfare requires a lot of resource consumption. Judging from the current financial situation of the Yue government and the determination of the Yue people to attack, it seems to be very unfavorable to the Yue people. . Under such circumstances, Meng Tian hopes to be able to innovate the tactics, but the innovation of tactics requires weapons as a foundation, and the basic change requires financial expenditure, and the Yueshi people who do not have a new account may gradually be exhausted.

"In this case, it will be very troublesome. We can't help them too much? Unless we concentrate firepower to bombard, there is really no way." Wang Ben said.

"There are methods, for example, preparing pistols, shotguns, such melee weapons, and using a large number of grenades to organize large-scale assault teams to conduct assaults. These are the methods used by the people of Qin. The method is still very effective." Meng Tian said.

"However, what I am worried about is whether the Yueshi people have such sufficient funds. If they do not have such a large amount of funds, we would not be able to provide them with such many weapons. In fact, this is still a financial issue." Meng Tian said .

"Well. I think this problem can only be solved by the Ministry of National Defense and then the Prime Minister's Office. Only they can solve this problem well. We have already occupied a small mountainous area, where the land is extremely large. The country is barren and there are many mountainous areas. The Yue people have nothing good to exchange." Wang Ben said.

"The problem is here." Meng Tian said.

"Forget it. Let's report the situation here by telegram. The only way to solve the financial crisis of the Yueshi people is the prime minister's mansion." Meng Tian began to draw up the telegram as he said.

The front line of the Moon's First Army.

"Look, what are those Indians doing?" a Yueshi private soldier standing on the watchtower said loudly.

After hearing this, a sergeant Yue's stood on the trench.

"That is, what are they doing, digging trenches. What are digging trenches for?" the sergeant asked inexplicably.

"Yeah." A second lieutenant of the Yue family looked at the Indians in the distance with a telescope. A large number of Indians came out, and they kept digging trenches. And the more they dig, they seem to be happy to do such a thing.

"Are these Indians the same as the people of Qin, who asked us to dig trenches? Did they dig trenches to prevent our artillery?" The ensign asked himself puzzled.

"Damn it, you guys are watching. If they dig into us, they will fire and shoot, no matter who it is." The ensign lowered the telescope in his hand and ordered.

"Yes, sir." The soldier in the distance agreed.

"I'm going to report this, it's really strange." The ensign said and left the report.

"Sir. What are they doing when they dig trenches? Are there many people dead in the city? Are they going to bury them?" the second class asked curiously.

"Buried people. You really want to. If you want to bury people, just dig a hole. Is it necessary to dig like this? This is definitely not the way to dig. These trenches must have other uses. Who knows about the war. "The sergeant left here as he said. Defensive matters are very boring. Yue's people simply strengthened their defensive positions, such as adding some barbed wire and other things, but most of them are slack. Because they know that they are used to attack. If you don't attack, the defense is completely redundant, so the Yue people have a lot of slack in the defense battle. This also led to their ignorance of the trenches of defense.
