Qi State, Jiaozhou border.

"What is it doing over there?" Lou Jing stood on the high platform and looked into the distance with a telescope. A group of Jiaozhou people were erecting a high tower. A machine is making a clicking sound.

"Oh, sir, there is also oil extraction there. They are faster than us and produce a lot. The impact on us is very large." A small local official introduced. Because oil production can sell money, and indeed it can sell money. Therefore, many local people are digging wells to produce oil, and the other side is also buying oil. Then Jiaozhou people conduct simple distillation according to the technology passed by the people of Qin. In fact, the distillation technology is extremely backward and barbaric. It just gets some oil based on different boiling points. Products, but that's it, enough for them to make a fortune.

"Oh." Lou Jing was curious.

"They mine more machinery, but we have less, but the oil is enough for us to use. After all, this thing is from the ground, and it is very good to make money." The official was obviously content.

"Yeah. Is there a lot of output over there?" Lou Jing asked.

"Yes, it is very big. One well is equivalent to more than 20 of our wells. Sometimes, we are not as good as each other." Local officials said.

"Oh." Lou Jing was very curious.

"However, sir, some things have made us very bad recently." The official said at this time.

"What's the matter?" Lou Jing asked.

"Sir, please lift the blockade order. We need to go to sell the oil here. But the blockade order does not allow us to go here. We can't sell it here. As a result, a lot of oil is squeezed here, and it has been quite long. It's been a while. If time continues like this, we won't be able to survive at all." Local officials said.

"Well. Can it only be sold to the Jiaozhou people on the opposite side?" Lou Jing asked puzzledly.

"There are carriages on the opposite side, and the transportation volume of carriages on our side is very limited. Moreover, there is already such a market on the opposite side. Therefore, if we do this by ourselves, it may take a long time, which is very important for us. Unfavorable." Local officials said.

"Oh. The impact seems to be great." Lou Jing nodded and said. He knows that oil can be sold for money, but it is difficult to say whether it is not a way to spend money. There is a Jiaozhou highway in Jiaozhou, which was built by the people of Jiaozhou. It is said that the South Korean government has also paid a lot of money, and the effect of this road is still there. At least they have brought great economic benefits.

However, Qi's own blockade still had a great impact on Qi State, because oil exports affected their economic benefits.

Coastal areas of the peninsula.

"Look, is there a group of Korean merchant ships in the distance," a young soldier on a patrolling Qi State warship said to the sailors next to him.

"Impossible, Koreans are busy sailing to the West and Southeast Asia. They are in the mood to come to this place. It's just a joke." A sailor said disapprovingly.

"I don't believe it, look, is it a Korean ship over there," the young soldier said unconvincedly. A sailor heard it and quickly picked up the binoculars to look at the merchant fleet in the distance. They are responsible for the safety of coastal areas. In fact, this is the ship that Qi is monitoring the military operations of the Goguryeos. The purpose of patrol is to a large extent not for defense, but for surveillance. Because the Goguryeo people have nothing to do with the Qi people, and the Qi people need to understand the military dynamics of Goguryeo.

"It's really the Korean merchant fleet, but what are they doing here. There is nothing here." The sailors said after raising their telescopes to see the ships in the fleet.

"Did they help the Goguryeo people?" a sailor said worriedly.

"If the Koreans are involved, then it should be a Korean warship, but the opposite is a merchant ship, not a warship." Another sailor retorted.

"It doesn't matter. Hurry up and report it, otherwise, it will be another curse." The sailors said one after another. Then began to prepare to return.

However, they still closely monitored the movements of the South Korean merchant ships. Finally, they saw with their own eyes that a large number of Goguryeo soldiers had come off the merchant ship and a large amount of military supplies had arrived at the same time. This is not good news for them.

Qin State. Xianyang.

"The bank has held several simple meetings." Meng Yi reported to Shangwen.

"They agree that the government pledges the right to issue currency, and they can mint a large amount of gold in their hands as gold coins. In this way, the currency circulation problem in the Western Regions will be solved. However, they need more paper money to exchange these gold coins. After all, they gather in Xiangguanzhong. For wealth, a lot of banknotes are needed to circulate." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"Well. As long as they agree. We need banks that can help us solve these problems, not commercial companies. Only with sufficient funds can we solve these problems." Shang Wen said.

"However, the financial situation of various countries is not very good. For example, the situation of the Tocharians is not so good. They have few resources. If a large number of bonds are issued, Qin will need these gold coins to control their bonds. But these bonds are not very valuable?" Meng Yi said worriedly.

"There is only one way." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"What?" Meng Yi asked.

"Tariffs can only control tariffs or other commercial taxes. I think all problems can be solved. As long as the Tocharo government pledges their tariffs and commercial taxes. I think the bond problem can be solved, but we need Let them understand the key to solving the financial problem, but they have not established much of the project, even if it is to build a railway. The Tocharo government is cautious. This is not comparable to the Yue government." Shang Wen said.

"Well. We can think about this carefully. Tocharo's situation can be temporarily put aside. But the situation of the Dawan people seems to be a little uncomfortable." Meng Yi said.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen asked.

"The Dawan people urgently need a lot of military weapons, but the traffic conditions are not very good, and they have a lot of raw gold, but there is no place to buy a lot of military weapons. The harassment of the Parthians has caused serious damage to their minerals. The impact of this. Li Xin mentioned in the telegram many times that they can do nothing about it." Meng Yi said.

"This is a problem of traffic conditions, and we don't have a good way to solve such a thing." Shang Wen said helplessly.

"So, we need to solve this kind of thing as soon as possible. I wonder if we start to solve the problem from Yuezhi or the north of Dawan. After all, there is a high mountain, but in fact, within our control, rely on The difficult position may solve the problem better." Meng Yi said.

"This is a good way, you can try it." Shang Wen nodded and agreed. After all, they can only make such an attempt now.

Yue's assault cluster, the seventh regiment's resident, Li Lian anxiously found Bai Le with a report.

"An accident happened, it is about your Qin Jun." Li Lian anxiously said to Bai Le with the report.

"What's the matter?" Bai Le said disapprovingly.

"One of your officers is called Li Chun. He was captured by the Indians." Li Lian said anxiously.

"Damn it, what the **** is going on?" Bai Le asked anxiously.

"Look at the report. One of our patrols was suddenly attacked by the Indians and suffered heavy losses. Only one severely wounded soldier escaped. After he returned, he reported the incident. We were also extremely cautious. , We were very careful when we sent the troops ahead to investigate, but the situation was confirmed in the end." Li Lian shook his head and said.

"The Indians sent someone over. They said they would exchange Li Chun's life for fifty rifles. This matter has been reported to the above. All the Qin army officers seem to know this matter." Li Lian said.

"What if Qin Jun doesn't exchange?" Bai Le asked.

"If they don't exchange, they will detain each other or shoot them directly. Anyway, they have a way. But." Li Lian hesitated.

"But what?" Bai Le asked.

"But I think the Indians will not do this. First of all, they dare not. If they anger Qin Jun, they know what the price will be. This is the situation they least want to see, and they have never In this way, they can't negotiate terms with us." Li Lian said confidently.

"The **** Indians dare to attack our patrol, they dare to do chaotic things. If our Department of Defense knows about this, the country will trigger a bigger battle plan. Damn Indians, just Prepare to meet Qin Jun's anger." Bai Le said.

Inside the headquarters of the assault group.

"I feel sorry for this, we have done our best." When Admiral Moran heard the news, he thought it was a joke at first. Because the Indians have never actively attacked their patrols, because they have never dared to attack their patrols, the Indians know what kind of situation they will face. But now the problem is that the fact has already happened. Their patrol was attacked by the Indians. And the losses were heavy. The worst thing was that their ally, an officer of the State of Qin, was also arrested. As for the name of the officer, he didn't care, but he knew that Qin Jun would never allow an officer to be captured by the opponent.

"We will not agree to these conditions." Meng Ping said after reading the report, shaking his head.

"If you exchange fifty rifles, this is the shame of the Qin Army. This is a threat and provocation. They are trampling on the dignity of the Qin Army." Meng Ping said extremely annoyed.

"But, something has happened. We must properly resolve this matter." Moran looked at Meng Ping and said. Qin officers are their natural allies. The people of the Yue family cannot provoke the people of the Qin nation. They still need a lot of assistance from the people of the Qin nation. Without such assistance, their Yue people cannot form an effective combat force at all.

"We absolutely disagree with this matter. We would rather watch this officer be killed. We don't want to accept such conditions. Damn Indians." Meng Ping said.

"However. The Indians are looking for things on their own. They should accept the anger of our Qin and Yue people." Meng Ping said after calming down.

"I don't know. What did you think of?" Moran asked curiously. He didn't know what Qin people would think. Because the thinking of Qin people is different from them. They also don't know what Qin people think.

"Before we go to war, we all need a reason. That is why we are famous. If we launch an attack, we will be in an unfavorable state if something happens." Meng Ping said.

"But now, the Indians have taken the initiative to destroy the peace. They provoked the Qin army and committed an irrational behavior. They have to pay a price for this. In other words, this matter is the reason we went to war. We should thank the Indians for creating such a good opportunity for us. Hahaha.” Meng Ping laughed.

Moran didn't understand at first, but he quickly understood what the other party meant. This was the reason they wanted to fight. Now they need such a reason.

Meng Ping quickly drafted a telegram and sent it to the Qin State Ministry of Defense.

Qin State Xianyang, Ministry of National Defense.

"Such a thing unexpectedly happened." Wei Liao also showed a surprised expression after seeing the telegram from the Yueshi front.

"Sir, what should we do? The Indian's request is to let us exchange hostages with fifty rifles. But the front-line commander thinks this is a threat, and they think this is the best reason to fight. After all, We also sent two cavalry regiments to fight." A colonel security officer said worriedly.

"This. I think it's good. We will post this matter to the press conference. Let the journalists know about this matter. I think the people of Qin will know about this matter, and then take this matter. Support our actions." Wei Liao I thought about it. The State of Qin did need a well-known event to dispatch troops, and now this incident has become the best reason for Qin State to dispatch troops.

"Okay." The colonel nodded.

Qin State Ministry of National Defense press conference.

"An officer named Li Chun was investigating the border with the Yue's patrol. Suddenly he found the Indians' premeditated attack. The Yue's suffered heavy losses. Our officer was physically weak at the end of the battle. The reason was captured." The spokesperson said worriedly.

"The Qin Army is very worried about the officer's safety. But at present, the Indians refuse to maintain contact with the Qin Army and refuse to give any explanation for the attack." The spokesperson further said. The journalists accepted such a shocking news.

"Therefore, the Qin Army has taken necessary military measures to protect the safety of our Qin Army officers. The Qin Army refuses to challenge those who challenge the Qin Army. Say nothing. They will pay extremely for their actions. A heavy price." The spokesperson said confidently. The news reporter recorded this moment.

For a time, in the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin State, the people condemned the Indians, and many believed that Qin should retaliate against the Indians the most cruel. However, many people from the Qin Kingdom don’t even know where Indy is. As for why the Qin Army officer was arrested, or why the Qin Army officer went there, they don’t know at all. News reporters also intend to report on how the Qin Army officer was arrested. , But deliberately avoided Qin Jun's actions in Yueshi. Everything is creating a great excuse for Qin to send troops.

"What we need to worry about is the officer's safety." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Qin Jun will do this. We are putting pressure on the Indians. This is a good reason for sending troops. We need such a reason." Meng Yi said.

"Well. I don't know about military affairs, I know we should be ready." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

Xinzheng, South Korea. After reading this in the newspaper, Han Shu felt that the people of Qin were hypocritical. However, South Korea also needs such a reason. If it were not for the murder of a South Korean diplomat, South Korea would not launch the Bangla war and take extreme measures against Bangla. Military measures, but now everything has begun.

"My lord, we should pay attention to this military action of the people of Qin." Zhang Liang was keenly aware of the matter, because he thought of the recent large-scale military orders.

"What?" Han Shu hadn't noticed anything yet.

"My lord, the recent large-scale military orders from the Menglais came from the northern dynasty suffered a major military threat. This military threat refers to the Yueshi people." Zhang Liang reminded.

"Yeah. I know. But we haven't confirmed the authenticity of this matter, or that the meat mentioned by the Northern Dynasty is just not this Yueshi. We need to make further confirmation. If it is, I think it was caused by the people of Qin. Military pressure may have a great impact on our military weapons sales." Han Shu thought for a while and said. She immediately understood what Zhang Liang meant.

"Yes, Lord, we should prepare early, I think. There is a big connection between the two, and the pressure exerted by the people of Qin will be very beneficial to us. We need such favorable conditions to do a lot of things." Zhang Good suggestion. He believes that Qin’s pressure is beneficial to South Korean military production, but South Korean military companies cannot afford such huge military orders.

"Yeah." Han Shu still hesitated.

"My lord, we need transportation, and processing and manufacturing, all of which will take a lot of time. However, if we do not start as soon as possible, the time wasted may be large, and the time for military operations carried out by the State of Qin may become more and more time-consuming. Hurry up," Zhang Liang said.

"I understand this, but there are risks involved. We need to take a lot of risks. The only way is for our company to prepare for this, and the company's risks are borne by itself." Han Shu thought for a while and said. Although the government can accept such orders, there are risks involved, and commercial competition to commercialize the military is Han Shu’s goal. She wants to know how much military profit South Korean commercial companies can bring from participating in military production. .

"Let the merchant do this." Han Shu said.
