Tocharo Cabinet.

“We need to speed up the progress of the project. We can’t wait. The people of Qin have solved our financial problem, but the problem is that we don’t have enough labor to build roads, and we can’t get enough labor. For us, it’s just a matter of time. Disaster, time is very important to us now. Every day in the past, we have to pay a lot of interest to the people of Qin. But the day that has not passed, we will do nothing." The Minister of Finance said worriedly. Tocharo borrowed a large amount of funds from the State of Qin to purchase various equipment and raw materials to build the railway. However, when they prepared everything, they suddenly discovered that the labor force was insufficient and the Yue people were also building the railway. They drew away a lot of labor. The Tocharians lacked labor force to build the railway as soon as possible.

"There is no way, we should pay attention to this problem. Tocharians like to be businessmen, and building a railway is a very profitable but laborious thing. Our people would not do such a thing, it is too hard. A lot of local buildings need to be built, and we are not suitable for this kind of work." The Minister of Economy analyzed.

"But we can't look at it like this. Although the Karachi people in the south will guarantee that a large number of slaves will arrive, but think about it, these slaves will take time, transportation and time, and the Yue people in the south will build another railway. That railway will definitely give priority to supplying their labor needs, so that our situation will become extremely tense. This is unfair to us, they can wait, after all, they have already started. But We, what is our situation, we have not started work at all, we have not spent a day, we are consuming a lot of money, this is unbearable for us." The Minister of Finance said. The cabinet members nodded one after another. They agreed with this fact, but it is difficult to solve such a thing again except for their agreement. Because they know they have no way to solve such problems.

"I know this very well, but we should understand the fact that we cannot get enough slaves from other places. The North and the West are the Shabbats. We can't beat the Shabbats. Moreover, such a costly financial pressure. It is very large. Unless we can let the people of Qin launch an offensive from us, we can symbolically provide some troops to participate in such battles. In this way, the defeated Parthians will become our largest source of slaves, but in this way It is undoubtedly the most expensive to do, because a large amount of funds originally used to build railways will be used in wars, and the financial situation will become extremely dangerous. This is better than I am aware of this." The Minister of Defense said at this time. To.

The other ministers nodded in agreement.

"But the problem now is that the railway situation is also undergoing great changes. We do not have labor, and we have a lot of funds. We need labor. At the same time, I think we can borrow such a part of the funds to the military. We are just a symbol Sexual troop dispatch is not a large-scale troop dispatch.” The Minister of Railway said lightly. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with him.

"I think we heard it right." The Secretary of Defense first asked.

"Yes, I heard it right. The railway cannot bring profit now, but it can only be consumed continuously. This will be detrimental to us. If we can allow the Qin Army to enter, it will take a lot of roads for the Qin Army to march. In this case, Our railway will be built successfully. In other words, our Tocharo side must stand on the side of the people of Qin, and only in this way can we become more advantageous.” said the railway minister. He felt that the significance of the existence of railways lies in transportation. The current railways are only to prepare for future materials. The actual significance is not very large, because Tocharo does not have more materials and mining minerals is just a simple idea. In fact, Tocharo does not have any minerals, nor does it bring any real benefits. In the face of such a situation, the only solution is to cause a huge economic stimulus. This stimulus is war.

"I agree. After all, a large amount of idle funds is a huge waste. War may be able to solve all our problems." The Minister of Finance said.

The ministers looked at each other. They think this issue is a bit crazy, and they are better off being cautious. Let Qin people come in, usually means that they stand in line, they completely stand on the side of Qin people, otherwise, it will be difficult to solve this problem. This is related to Tocharo's future and development. Ministers have to be cautious.

Qin State, Xianyang, General Staff.

"Meng Tian's idea must be carefully considered. It is correct that we did not deploy a large number of mobilized cavalry forward." Wang Jian said.

"Yes, but how do we go directly to the rear of the Shaman, starting from our front line, at least more than five hundred miles forward. This is only theoretically, coupled with bad weather and logistics supply transportation. It cannot be achieved by any means. At this point, unless we open up a railway line in time, all the methods seem to be impractical." Yang Duanhe said.

"It's not just that it's not feasible, but the problem is that if the army advances such a long distance, the combat effectiveness will inevitably decrease. The result of the battle we envisioned is difficult to achieve the expected." Wang Jian said.

With the changes in the state of war, large-scale assault advances have become possible. After all, Qin has a large number of cavalry in his hands, and these cavalry can achieve great deep strikes. Qin's military's idea is very simple. Using the advantage of the cavalry division in his hand, he quickly inserted into the rear of the rest, of course. They must wait until the Parthians attack on a large scale, consume their troops, stretch their supply lines, and their troops. Only by doing this can they ensure that they have enough security. This is a bold move of the Qin people. Imagine.

This idea was already in mind at a very early time. The people of Qin were very bold. With the spread of the army and various means of transportation, Wang Jian and others suddenly discovered that compared with the previous wars, the future wars Speed, mobility, and firepower are more improved, and the train can provide more rapid supplies of materials and transportation of soldiers. With the addition of airships, the problem of soldier delivery becomes easier. The large-scale appearance of cavalry, especially after the musketeers. The cavalry’s offensive capabilities have been greatly enhanced, and their continuous offensive capabilities have also been strengthened. Their mobility has been unprecedentedly increased. As long as the infantry has a suitable road, they can quickly display their great mobility. Therefore, the depth of the war has begun to become very large. , They can easily advance to two to three hundred miles. The previous Goguryeo War was such a situation, but now the problem is that they need to advance more than five hundred miles. This has reached the limit of the advancement of the Qin Army, and the supplies cannot be replenished in time. Even the encirclement is symbolic.

"Meng Tian considered the use of air power, but there, we must consider weather factors, and air power operations are still very limited, unable to deliver a large amount of materials there in time, coupled with the problem of air communication, the situation will become It is even worse. If we expand along the railway line, the situation may be better, but how we attack, in that case, we will encounter great resistance from the Parthians and cannot achieve suddenness. The Parthians are well aware of our combat goals. "Yang Duanhe said.

"At present, maybe the only way is to be here." Yang Duanhe said, turning his gaze on Tocharo.

"You mean to solve this problem from the Tocharian side?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes, in fact, we can only solve this problem in this way. All our current technical means are unable to reach the large-scale deployment of three infantry divisions to the rear of the Parthians and attack from anywhere. It will cause the strength of our cavalry divisions. In addition, a considerable number of troops cannot be assembled. The worst thing is that our logistics supplies cannot meet the requirements that we should meet." Yang Duanhe said.

"However, when the attack was launched from the Tocharian side, the problem was solved very well. From the Tocharian border to the border of the Parthians, and behind them, it was less than two hundred miles. This is almost under our noses. The Parthians seem to have relaxed their vigilance in this regard. They believe that we will not attack from the Tocharian side and the Tocharians will remain neutral. In this case, this is definitely an excellent opportunity." Yang Duanhe said .

In fact, Wang Jian had thought of this plan a long time ago. It's just that he lacks a good enough diplomatic condition to accomplish such a thing. Moreover, many conditions are not yet mature. Wang Jian just hopes that Tocharo's diplomatic situation can change such an unfavorable situation.

"Okay. Your idea may be correct, and we need to do the same. However, we still need something to do at the moment. That is to submit a report. Let the high-level attention, especially the Prime Minister's Office, hope they can properly To solve the problems we encountered." Wang Jian said. Yang Duanhe recorded.

Inside the prime minister's house.

"The intention of the General Staff is to launch an offensive from the Tocharo side. In this way, the Qin army can greatly ensure that the combat effectiveness is not lost. And the results of the siege and annihilation will be displayed on a larger scale." Meng Yi said to Shangwen .

"However, the Tocharians did not participate in the battle. And they remain neutral." Shang Wen said embarrassingly. If the State of Qin launched an offensive through the way, it would mean that the Tocharians were involved in the war, and this war was a huge change for them. They will completely stand here for the people of Qin, which is a very good thing for the people of Qin.

"This matter, I think it's difficult." Shang Wen said.

"No matter what, we should give it a try. After all, there is only such a more advantageous way. It is still more difficult for us to solve this problem through other methods." Meng Yi said.

"Well, let's give it a try, but we can't be too anxious. We can't lose the initiative." Shang Wen said.

Qi State. Linzi, at the gate of the Qi Palace. The Qi State Army is stationed here with more than two reorganized divisions. This is an unprecedented deployment of troops at the gate of the Qi Palace, but in this way, the situation at the gate of the Qi Palace is still unfavorable.

"Qi fake children, get off the stage. Get off the stage." More and more people of Qi state gathered at the gate of the Qi Palace. Before that, the princes and ministers came to dissuade them. The minister was kicked to death on the spot. Many ministers were seriously injured. But there is no one to supervise, the officials also send people to investigate, but the result of the investigation is that the murderer cannot be found because there are too many people. It's too confusing. But many people know that this is intentional.

In this way, there were more and more people in front of the Qi Palace. They all shouted at King Qi to step down. These days, King Qi was also frightened. He knew that his throne would definitely not be kept.

Tian Dan's mansion.

"We must get the support of Qi's businessmen. Without their support, Qi will be difficult to develop in the future. Brother, you should be aware of this. Without these businessmen, there is no tax, there would be no Qi, and they have reached us. For the purpose of this, King Qi must step down, and the eldest brother is the President of Qi." Tian Rong said.

"Qi State is undergoing a huge reform, and this reform is a huge change for us." Tian Rong resolutely said.

"Yeah. But the parliament, do you really need Qi merchants?" Tian Dan was still worried that the merchants were too powerful. After all, they have a lot of funds and an absolute advantage in terms of financial resources.

"Brother, we can set up the upper and lower houses. The lower house is a businessman and the upper house is the interest of our military. In this case, many people will enter the upper house. This is a very easy thing for us. We need the upper house. , And Qi’s businessmen need the House of Commons, and the businessmen can greatly stabilize the current situation of Qi. If Qi cannot stabilize the current situation, Qi will collapse. At that time, the situation will be.” Tian Rong Speaking of.

"Okay. I understand." Tian Dan nodded and said.

Subsequently, King Qi issued an abdication edict, and in this way King Qi abdicated, and Qi announced the establishment of a parliament, and the president was elected by the parliament. Qi State has officially entered the era of the Republic, and the president will appear as the new head of state of the country.

Subsequently, the parliament began to conduct elections, and to enter the parliament must be a virtuous person. talented person. In fact, the parliament does not need too many elections at all, and most of the list of members has already been determined. What is not certain is the list of the House of Commons. But this will give businessmen a chance to participate in politics. This is a huge improvement for Qiguo.
