State of Zhao, Handan. Prime Minister's House.

"Prime Minister, we have already talked with those workers' associations." The Minister of Industry said to Guo Kai.

"Well, did they say something?" Guo Kai asked. In order to quell the workers' strike as soon as possible and get the workers back to work, Guo Kai had to contact the workers' association, because only in this way can the workers calm their anger as much as possible. Just today, the workers’ strikes have quickly risen to a whole new level. And to organize such a large-scale strike demonstration, there must be an organization, and the Minister of Industry found such an organization after investigating.

Originally, the factory owners thought that as long as they frightened them, they could solve all the problems. But things backfired, and things went even worse. This had to allow them to adapt their strategy, compromise with the working class, and reach some agreements for compensation. The Workers' Association is such an organization.

"They agreed to consider our request and give workers a salary increase of 50% to 100%, and overtime pay is calculated at twice the normal hourly wage." The Minister of Industry said.

"Yeah. Anything else?" Guo Kai now just wants the workers to stop making trouble. Everything else is easy to say, after all, social unrest will seriously affect his plan.

"The other thing is that they decided to establish a political party related to the interests of workers. They must have demands in this regard." The other party said.

"Yeah. I allow this, yes." Guo Kai said.

For this request, Guo Kai is understandable, after all, the political demands should be given. The problem is now. The factory owner has too many orders. If such an order cannot be completed in time. Their loss is very big.

"However, in order to show our sincerity, we need to punish the perpetrators and give the deceased some expressions. Otherwise, it will become unacceptable for them. In addition, we also need to give them some preferential treatment by the factory. Welfare, such as housing, vacations, etc., allow them to use new technologies and differentiate themselves for management. Senior designers, senior technicians, senior management talents, etc., in this way, it can also avoid more contradictions in the factory. Happens." Guo Kai thinks very simply, that is, workers and workers are different, and the division of labor is the same as the division of labor. If the division is divided, then such similar things will not happen during strikes in the future. Guo Kai's plan is very good.

However, this strike also brought some new changes to Zhao's political situation. That was the establishment of the Workers’ Party, and Zhao’s politics was no longer the place for nobles, fathers, politicians, and merchants. Workers can also participate. They have their own political party, which is what Guo Kai needs to quell the strike quickly.

On the Western Continent. South Korean merchant ships were moored at the docks of the Chu colony. They not only carried some goods, but also some Chu soldiers took these merchant ships to reach the Kingdom of Parth. This was an order they received. The Chu State's Navy, Army, General Staff, and a joint order under the Prime Minister's Office. The king of Chu clearly stipulated that the soldiers of the Chu army must perform bravely in this battle against the Parthians.

"Hurry up. Hurry up." The Chu Army soldier urged impatiently. They boarded the ship according to the company's organization. They didn't know exactly where they arrived, but what they knew was. This is the command above.

"Is this country of peace far away?" a private soldier asked a sergeant, who was eating a local fruit. What he knows is that there is nothing left in the Sabbath.

"Far. His mother is far away. I heard that everything is lacking there, and there is sand everywhere. It's drier than here. It's a place where birds don't shit." The sergeant said.

"Ah. Then why do we go to that place?" the second class asked puzzledly. They received an urgent order a few days ago to assemble them quickly and quickly arrive at the port area to gather. Say there are important things. After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of the Chu army had to put down their trophies and come here to gather.

The Chu army's expansion on the Western Continent was relatively smooth. The Chu army is divided into two types. One is the native army. They are all made up of Chu people. They came here to a large extent for trophies. Their combat effectiveness is average, but fortunately their weapons are sharper. They use rifled guns and bullets. No fixed-load bullets were used because the bullets were too expensive. Only officers have such bullets, but the firing method is more advanced. It is a flash hider, which can effectively avoid the impact of the local climate, especially when the rainy season arrives.

The other is the Vietnamese soldiers recruited from the southern colonies. They are good at fighting in mountains and woodlands. They look small but cruel, and most importantly, they are willing to obey the orders of the Chu people. One company usually takes another Viet company to fight. The local tribal chiefs, the already small states cannot withstand their attacks, so many states, the tribes have to provide more food or money to avoid greater disasters. The soldiers were also very crazy. They robbed wildly wherever they went. They brought huge trophies and received a big gift from the local government at the same time. Other local governments will also give the same gifts to avoid such things from happening. It can be said that their lives are very good. Many Chu army officers and soldiers, Vietnamese soldiers did not want to leave here. Many people complained deeply when they received the order.

Chu Jun relied on such robbery all the way to expand. People in many countries have great opposition to this, but they are only opposed to it.

"How happy we are here, what's the use of going to the rest place?" Many soldiers complained angrily.

"Okay. Anyone who makes us soldiers should obey orders." The sergeant said helplessly.

While the soldiers complained, the officers in the distance were discussing such matters.

"Let's go to rest. The terrain there is very bad. From the telegrams, it is full of deserts. This is a huge disaster for us." The officers said worriedly. There are water sources and vegetation here. It can be said that their logistics can still be guaranteed to a certain extent, but when they reach the land of the Shah people, they are faced with geographic inconvenience.

"Yeah, I am also worried about such things. But the order is very tough, but fortunately, we didn't take the initiative to attack at the beginning. We just helped the Koreans build a line of defense." The officers said.

South Korea and the Kingdom of Chu reached an army defense agreement. The defense agreement requires the Chu State to send troops to help the South Korean army establish a solid line of defense. The South Korean side will help Chu deliver logistical materials and soldiers. After completing such things, South Korea allowed Chu to develop inland, and some undiscovered ports could be provided to the other side. In this way, Chu State provided a springboard into the Far West. This is very attractive to Chu's expansion. You must know that the logistics and transportation capabilities of their army are very limited, and the naval power is also very weak. In this area, especially the west coast of the Western mainland, Chu is The number of warships has become scarce. The South Korean side has added a large number of new ships, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides can be compared at once. However, both countries have taken into consideration what Zhao and Qi have agreed with the navy.

After all, the development potential of these two countries is huge. Before the two countries have developed and grown, it will be of great benefit to them to quickly resolve this issue of Far West expansion. and so. The two countries signed relevant agreements and expanded rapidly.

Qi State, in Lou Jing's prime minister's office.

"Although the benefits we surrendered this time are relatively large, it can be exchanged for the rapid development of our Qi country. This is still of great benefit to our Qi country." Lou Jing said to Tian Dan. Tian Dan nodded.

"Zhao people have technology and a certain amount of capital. We have nothing but people. In terms of capital, what we have is silver, but the price of metal is still not rising. The demand of Qin people is not very large. Therefore, our capital is still lacking. You can solve such a problem is already very remarkable." Tian Dan said.

"There is no other way, President. We still need a lot of technology. According to the telegrams from the South and South Korea, the Koreans and Chu people have united. They are clearly targeting us. You have to know. Their situation is very unfavorable to us. They are worried that we are also expanding in the Far West. Therefore, the next step is to open up the situation in the Far West as soon as possible. Otherwise, wait until our ship is built. The two countries have been madly divided. In that case, we will have nothing." Lou Jing said worriedly.

"Yeah. You are right, we need to expand quickly." Tian Dan said.

"In terms of naval expenditure, it is still relatively short." Tian Dan said worriedly.

"Well. The only way at the moment is to use a lot of metal currency. In addition, there are some resources. We get some foreign exchange reserves from Koguryo's trade, mainly Qin's banknotes. We can start from this aspect." Lou Jing Speaking of.

"That's it." Tian Dan said. Regarding these hard-earned funds, Tian Dan thought about how to solve the problem well, but now it seems. They must spend it.

Qin State. Xianyang.

"The fighting situation in Dawan has become unfavorable." Wang Jian said, looking at the situation of the sand table.

"Well. The Parthian troops have increased a lot. According to our aerial reconnaissance report, the Parthians came from the south with at least more than 30,000 troops. They wanted to quickly cut off the back of the two Dawan infantry divisions. At the same time, they will focus all their attention on each other. Then they will quickly eat two Dawan infantry divisions." Yang Duanhe said.

"How far have they advanced?" Wang Jian asked at this time.

"There is not much distance from the Golden City. There are still about 20 miles away. The Dawan people have adopted new infantry tactics and their flanks have been strengthened a lot. It seems that they have also learned to fight." Yang Duanhe said with a smile. To.

"These can't solve any problems. If this goes on, the whole situation will be bad. Think about it, the Parthians still have the ability to carry out siege, which shows that their strength is still very large, which is not good for us. Things." Wang Jian said.

"Yes. And, Meng Tian's idea is good, to launch another attack from the northern cluster. However, the Parthians can easily break through their encirclement, and maybe they can cause them a greater loss. Such a thing, we Have to think about it." Yang Duanhe said.

The Qin State’s meaning was simple, it was to consume the peace of peace under the Golden City, and then launch an attack from the flanks to completely cut off the retreat of the peace. In that case, the entire main force of the peace would be wiped out. This is a typical, huge battle of annihilation. Faced with such a huge battle of annihilation, Wang Jian is very excited, but he also knows it. The fighter plane is still immature.

"Meng Tian's idea is very simple. Let us send a large number of air troops to harass and keep harassing them. In this way, it will cause a lot of trouble to them. This is very beneficial to us. It is just that this is the case. How much encirclement of the war can kill the opponent's forces. It consumes the opponent's little war experience." Wang Jian said worriedly.

"This. I don't know how effective the air combat is? After all, this kind of thing has not happened too much. The War Department put forward an opinion that fire attack. However, the local terrain, and the climate environment, the release of ice and snow. Obviously it is inappropriate." Yang Duanhe said, shaking his head.

"If we can make the opponent's troops suffer a big setback, this is the best thing for us." Wang Jian said. Qin Jun hopes to resolve the tactical difficulties they face through technical efforts.

It is obviously impossible for Dawan's army to send reinforcements again, because the opponent is unlikely to have too many troops to provide them. The only way is to use the air force, but whether the use of the air force can achieve the expected results, especially the extent of the large-scale bombing, there is no reliable data for him to advise him.

Some of the technical weapons needed for bombing seem to be ineffective here. For example, using a large number of aerial bombs, incendiary bombs, temporarily unable to achieve the predetermined effect.

"What kind of weapons do we have?" Shang Wen said to himself, looking at the report sent by the War Department. In Shang Wen's view, the only feasible way to stop the opponent's march by bombing was the idea of ​​an aerial gunboat. Because they stay in the air for a long time and their power is also great.
