Inside the Mengtian headquarters. Meng Tian was looking at the preliminary map that Dawan had drawn.

"We are all going to shrink back in these places." Meng Tian pointed to the Golden City, seventy miles north of Tubao, which is the third largest city in the country. It is mainly based on the gold industry, and gold brings a lot of wealth. . Stimulated by huge wealth, the Golden City was established. The city is extremely prosperous. People mainly focus on enjoyment. There is a large stock of wine, food, and prosperous clothes in the city. It can be said that the people in the Golden City mainly focus on enjoyment. They feel that there is plenty of time, because They have a lot of money. They couldn't feel the pressure of survival, so they established a series of gambling to kill their time, singing and dancing parties, various cocktail parties, and large-scale gambling games, it is a real golden city. People are numb and do not know the existence of danger.

"There is also the cave town in the south, where the population is relatively dense, about seven to eighty thousand, and they must retreat to the back of the tubao." Meng Tian said. The staff officer noted it aside.

"But, sir, the Dawan people may not retreat. First of all, it is very difficult to retreat. They don't have as many carts to complete the transportation. Secondly, the upper class of Dawan may not want to retreat. Finally, the Dawan people, They don't have such determination. They hope to launch a counterattack." The staff officer said after the record was completed.

"You are right. This is a report sent by the Li Mo government. They said that the parliament puts them under very heavy pressure, especially when we ask them to withdraw from the Golden City and also withdraw the nearby cave towns. The parliament resolutely opposed it, and the media accused them of doing nothing. The Li Mo government meant to put the three infantry divisions we just formed into rescue operations." Meng Tian shook his head and said. Obviously, he is very unoptimistic about such military rescue operations.

"Sir, how can this be done? They have no combat experience. Sending them out is simply looking for death. They will be defeated at once. In that case, our situation will enter a more catastrophic situation." The staff officer objected.

"But this is the idea of ​​Li Mo and the Dawan government. They must not lose the Golden City. In their view, the more cities they lose, the worse their responsibilities. Our airship brigade also withdrew from there. However, Golden City is not willing to retreat at all." Meng Tian said helplessly.

The political situation in Dawan is very complicated. The wealthy people who control the parliament strongly oppose the abandonment of cities like Golden City. They believe that this will greatly weaken Dawan’s financial ability. In the future, their The economy will go backwards for a long time. This is just a worry. What they worry about is losing more land. In that case, the advantage of mineral resources is completely out of theirs. At the same time, they think that they have already paid a lot of money. They bought part of the bonds, and the government has a lot of funds to form an army. Now that the army has been recruited and the soldiers have completed the initial training, they should invest in the war to regain lost ground. Regain lost land instead of continuing to lose a lot of land. The parliament’s attitude is that an inch of land cannot be lost.

However, the Qin Army believes that the fighting power of the Anxi army is still very strong, and the opponent did not suffer a great loss in attacking the encirclement. On the contrary, they still have the ability to continue attacking big cities like Golden City, which is the worst situation for them. Qin Guo felt that the Dawan army at this time was still very weak. They had just completed some basic training initially, and there were no large-scale combat tactics training, and no exercises above the battle. Officers have little experience, soldiers have no combat experience, and there are too many soldiers who have not killed anyone. They are still rookies. To fight with such an army is simply joking.

The Qin Army believes that the most reasonable way is to avoid fighting with the opponent. But the Dawan people didn't do it. They thought that doing so would lose too many cities, and at least they should resist.

Under the circumstances of Dawan's political needs and actual military situation, it is not without good news.

Qin State, in the prime minister's mansion.

"Tocharo has agreed to enter into a contract with us and sign an alliance treaty to jointly resist the threat of attack by the Shamans. Dawan has also received relevant clauses, and it is estimated that they will participate." Wei Liao reported to Shangwen.

"However, Meng Tian's report is not very good." Shang Wen shook his head and said.

"You can look at this, Meng Tian said, the political needs of the Dawan people do not allow the Dawan people to retreat on a large scale, and let them support them in a large-scale battle with the Anthropods to regain lost ground. The Dawan people are too optimistic. It is estimated that they think that the beginning of spring will end the war." Shang Wen said, shaking his head.

"This. The situation is indeed too optimistic for them. However, I think that facing such a situation is also beneficial to us. Instead of opposing it, we should let the generals try an offense. Or conduct a limited defense. Fighting is also possible. After all, the army is established. It should fight. Waiting like this, their army. I am afraid that they will never be able to fight. This is not a good thing for them." Meng Yi said.

"Do you think so too?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes. I think so too. I think we should support them in doing so and let them conduct defensive operations. This is of certain benefit to them. In many cases, we should let it go. Just go from simple In terms of military retreat, the Dawan people have not been able to completely withdraw from a town with more than tens of thousands of people, and there are still a lot of materials in it. At the same time, I think that if we retreat proactively like that, it won’t let the rest. It feels very easy. We should resist step by step. Crazy retreat may bring greater fear. The people of Dawan may no longer want such fear. Especially, those congressmen." Wei Liao reminded. He knows that the political pressure comes from the parliament. Those members will accuse the government. They do nothing and don't do anything with money. They just hire a group of people who do nothing. They also know to ambush each other with a big stick.

"Okay. Maybe you are right, but it is more important to preserve military strength." Shangwen reminded Austria.

Within Tocharo.

"It's enlisted. It's enlisted. Come and take a look. It's enlisted. There are uniforms, salary, weapons, and delicious and delicious food." An officer shouted loudly. Many Tocharian young people came to the officers to check the conditions and remuneration of the conscription, and some middle-aged people also hurried over to take a look.

"You are all old. Are you still coming to serve as a soldier?" a young man said arrogantly.

"Damn it, kid," the middle-aged man scolded.

"When I was a soldier, you didn't know where to come. His mother, your parents probably don't have that. Now I'm talking about Laozi," the middle-aged man said.

"We have killed people, served as soldiers, and have rich combat experience." The middle-aged man said.

"Oh. It turns out to be a veteran. Welcome. After a simple test, you can directly serve as sergeants." The officer said. Just as he said, veterans with combat experience were welcomed in.

"That's okay. If I kill someone, am I going to be an officer directly." Many young people were dissatisfied, but the officer ignored them and continued to hand out the forms, check them after they were filled out, and then enter the army. Tocharo needs to expand four infantry divisions, with a strength of more than 60,000, in addition to two artillery regiments and other auxiliary combat units. With such a large number of military personnel, Tocharo's economy began to shift toward the needs of the military.

The army needs a lot of military uniforms. Some handicraft workshops and garment shops have begun to order military uniforms. Their uniforms must look upright and cautious. Although the fabrics come from the Central Plains countries, the workload is still very large. The style refers to the production of Qin Army uniforms, but their clothing color is yellow, and the officer's clothing is dark yellow.

In addition to military uniforms, there are also various marching rucksacks, belts, belts, and leather boots. A large amount of leather demand stimulates the local leather manufacturing industry. However, in addition, the carriage transportation industry is also rapidly stimulated. They buy second-hand from Qin Guo I bought a car and started to transport all kinds of military supplies. In addition to these, there were a large number of arms orders. These Tocharians could not satisfy themselves, because they couldn't make many guns. There was only one way, which was to order from the State of Qin. This is the best solution. However, the Qin State Military Factory still accepted such orders, and their military order production has been scheduled to the end of next year, and they may not be able to finish production. But these problems are only the problems of the military factory.

The Zhao State had already used high-power to continue production, but it still couldn't meet Qin's huge military needs. This was a very tormenting thing for them.

Yueshi, on the slave market.

"Well, one gold coin and two slaves. I'll give you another small one, a small one, full of food, and still able to work." Talking about one month's slave trader, he found three slaves, two young and middle-aged. , A small one.

"I want it too, I want it too." Many people who wanted slaves shouted loudly. These people are from Dawan, and their minerals require a lot of labor. These black slaves are the best labor. The war in Dawan allowed them to draw away a lot of labor. But slaves can fill such peacocks very well. The most important thing is that they will not escape, and the cost is low, and their deaths and injuries are costless. The demand for minerals is very large, which is a very cost-effective thing. Many people from Dawan came here to buy slaves, and it was very popular for a while.
