Chu State, Wuyue Port, and a batch of new warships of the Admiralty were launched. These warships are all new technologies, powered by steam engines and driven by propellers, but the hulls are still made of wooden materials. The result of this is that wood is cheap and can be manufactured on a large scale. After all, they have mature technology here.

"With these ships, we can quickly expand our interests in the Far West." Xiang Liang said while looking at the launching ships.

"Sir, do these ships belong to the First Fleet?" the director of Wuyue Naval Shipyard asked worriedly.

"Yes, the Koreans are gathering unprecedented forces. We, Chu, cannot fall behind. Once we fall behind, we won't even have any soup in the end." Xiang Liang said.

"Yeah. But other fleets also have requirements. In addition, in terms of naval funding, will our wages increase?" The factory director knew that this idea could not be put forward now. After all, the country is building warships on a large scale. But he had to make such a suggestion. Because many shipyards have recently increased their wages and salaries, and they are official shipbuilding companies, and they have not increased the corresponding remuneration, which makes them very anxious. Some engineers and technicians have chosen not to sign contracts. They decided to go to private shipbuilding. Go to the factory.

"Don't you have funds?" Xiang Liang asked.

"Well, most of the funds are used for shipbuilding. The military requires too many ships, and we have no choice but to hold a large number of military orders to meet it." The other party said helplessly.

"Okay. I will write a report on this matter. Your salary will increase." Xiang Liang said. With the improvement of shipbuilding technology, the salary of skilled workers has also been increased. This was mainly affected by the strike in Handan of the State of Zhao.

Not only Chu’s shipbuilding industry was affected, but also South Korea. In Qingcheng, South Korea, the wages of shipbuilders increased by 30% to 50%. Excellent technicians and senior designers Wages and salaries have doubled. In order to better enable these technicians to work with peace of mind, various related benefits and benefits have been immediately increased. For example, they have their own annual leave, and they can devote a few days. Time to rest, these days they can travel and do some things they like. This is an improvement in treatment.

Qin State, Xianyang.

"Xianyang's urban transportation has become more and more important to the Qin State. At present, there are several urban areas in Xianyang, but the roads are tight every day. We also have public transportation vehicles. However, it still cannot meet our needs, so we need to increase urban transportation. Facilities." The Minister of Construction said to Shang Wen. He holds several construction projects.

"Well, what kind of method do you have?" Shang Wen said.

"We currently have two transportation versions. One is a tram, but it requires electricity transmission. Only by increasing electricity production can we meet our needs." said the Minister of Construction.

"This is no problem. We are considering building more thermal power plants. In addition, in the Hexi region and several places in the north, we will choose to build two large hydropower projects. The first is to solve the nearby agricultural water problem, and the second is , We can also use it to generate electricity to meet our needs." Shangwen explained.

With the use of reinforced concrete, dams have become possible. Qin State has built several reservoirs in Xianyang area. In Bashu area, Qin State is also considering building several reservoirs to meet local agricultural needs. The local government can provide Some tea, and at the same time it is the main granary of Qin. The Qin State needs local agricultural development and must do so.

The dam not only serves the function of flood prevention and irrigation. It can also generate electricity. The demand for electricity makes many places have to find a way to get the electricity they want. After all, this electricity is of great help to their economic production.

"In addition to the tram, there is also the underground railway. This is a very bold idea of ​​ours." said the Minister of Construction.

"Underground railway?" Shang Wen asked curiously. After all, there was a subway at this time.

"Yes. Underground railway. Because the functional areas of several cities in Xianyang are too far apart, the flow of people between the cities is very large. And people spend a lot of time on the journey. This is very important for us. Inconvenient." The Minister of Construction said.

"Well, Xianyang is not only the political center of the Qin State, but also the economic center of the Qin State. The Guanzhong Economic Belt occupies a large part of the economic power of the Qin State." Shang Wen said.

In fact, the population here is increasing. People have more and more requirements for urban travel, from the earliest horse-drawn carriages and bicycles to the current motor vehicles, but motor vehicles still cannot meet people's requirements.

"Trams can be deployed quickly. After all, this type of tram is placed on it. The engineering is less difficult, but the problem is that the demand for trams, that is, their passenger capacity, is still limited. We count However, within one day, Qin must meet at least more than 1.5 million trips. If in some special periods, this demand will increase. In this way, such trams still cannot meet the demand. "The Minister of Construction said.

"On the other side, our underground railway can meet a large amount of demand at one time. However, the construction of this demand is more difficult and the time-consuming cycle is long. We have to carry out large-scale ground construction in Xianyang area, and the investment is also It is relatively large. We are all embarrassed about this, because we know that the current funding may not be too much." The Minister of Construction said.

"What is your plan?" Shang Wen asked.

"The underground railway, however, consumes a lot of money. The cycle is relatively long." The Minister of Construction said.

"But he can greatly meet our needs. This is a way of travel suitable for our current situation." The Minister of Construction said.

"Yeah. Compared with these two means of transportation, the tram is like a tasteless one for the development of Xianyang. We don't need it, but considering the long-term construction needs, the tram can still meet certain needs, so let's , We can build several main line trams. In order to relieve our traffic pressure, after our subway is put into use, we will remove the trams.” Shang Wen said.

"But, if that's the case," the Minister of Construction said worriedly. In this case, the budget will be severely overrun.

"Well, I understand what you think. However, we also have our needs. If we can't meet the needs of urban construction, our construction will have no meaning. And, I think, not only we need this kind of transportation. Tools." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"What does the prime minister mean?" The Minister of Construction looked at Shang Wen curiously.

"Cities with a population of more than one million are not only in Qin State, but in cities like South Korea, Chu State, and Wei State, they all have such needs. I think they also face the same problems as us." Shang Wen said.

"I understand. If we solve this problem, we can also meet their needs in this regard." The Minister of Construction said.

"Yes. That's it. Therefore, we are not worried about the lack of demand. What I worry about is that there is no better choice." Shang Wen said with a smile.

Inside the staff. Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe are looking at the situation map on the battlefield.

"The two armies from Tocharo have successfully entered the rear of the Parthians. As long as they are given a period of time, they will be able to build a complete defense system. In that case, the way of retreat for the Parthians will be completely cut off. "Yang Duanhe said.

"But the strange thing is that Wang Ben's report seems to underestimate the enemy." Yang Duanhe said cautiously. After all, they don't know the situation on the front line in detail.

"I am also very confused about this. However, think about it, it should be because we are too anxious." Wang Jian said at this time.

"Wang Ben’s report stated that the Parthians had very few deployments there. After a long journey, they discovered that the Parthians were weak. They interrogated a series of prisoners and learned from the prisoners that it turned out. There was a large number of troops deployed there, but for unknown reasons, they were transferred away. They all went to the front line of Dawan. This is the situation of the war. If it were not for Dawan to resist the opponent’s attack, they would be unlikely to be transferred. The troops going there." Wang Jian said.

"Well. If this is the case, the main force of the Parthians will have a big problem. Do we overestimate the combat effectiveness of the Parthians." Yang Duanhe said after thinking about it. They had always believed that the Parthians had enough energy to maintain the ability to retreat, so they repeatedly emphasized that the other party should continue to move forward and forward. Attracting most of the main force of the Parthians, but now it seems that the Parthians themselves have drawn up the force of the defensive flanks to supplement this task.

"This is not known. In terms of intelligence collection, we are still relatively backward, and we don't know anything about many places. This is still very unfavorable for us." Wang Jian said.

"However, in order to combat the fighting will of the Parthians and their fighting strength as much as possible, I think it is necessary for Li Xin's troops to launch a flanking blow." Wang Jian said.

"Well, is it appropriate to launch such an offense at this time?" Yang Duanhe asked at this time.

"It should be suitable, after all, there is no such a suitable opportunity again." Wang Jian said.

Inside the Golden City. The battle was once again stuck in a stalemate. After the crazy bombing by the air force of Qin State. The Parthians were unable to defend the position they had just obtained, and they had to give up such a position and retreat to their starting position, while the Dawan people, they only regained a certain position and stopped advancing. Because their military strength is also very limited, they have lost a large amount of military strength after arduous defensive operations.

The combat losses of the First Infantry Division and the Second Infantry Division are as high as 30%, and the combat companies of many units have only about 50% of the personnel. Some companies only have more than 30 people left. The fighting was very cruel.

"Unexpectedly, you are still alive?" When Su Yiyi crawled into a trench to rest, he saw an old partner of his. Li Qing, sniper. His arm was injured. Bandaged. Because of the relationship of the arm, his role has also become less.

"Yes, still alive." Li Qing said blankly.

"Your arm?" Su Yi asked.

"Damn the rest of the peace. Three snipers, hit me one, I killed one, they hit my arm, and my leg, **** it, now the bullets are inside." said Li Qing opened the blanket on his lap.

"Oh. Are you okay?" Su Yiyi asked worriedly.

"I don't know, I guess I might be lame in the future." Li Qing said with some frustration. Obviously he felt that losing a leg was more uncomfortable than killing him.

"I think you should feel lucky, at least we are still alive." Su Yiyi comforted.

"Look at the surroundings, many of us are gone. They are dead. They are killed." Su Yiyi said.

"You know? My company, now I'm the only one left, I don't know who will be in charge." Su Yi said. He was sloppy all over. He is wearing a thick military coat. He made all the blankets into clothes, and there is no supplement here. He can only think of a solution from the clothes of the dead. It's not just him, there are other people who do it too, after all, they think it's a great thing to survive.

"Yeah. Very good, I think the war is about to end." Li Qing said.

"Oh. Why do you say that? I don't feel this way." Su Yiyi said.

"Offensive, look at the Anxi people. The people who were bombed by the Qin people are no longer capable of attacking. I saw with my own eyes that many **** Anxi people were killed. If it wasn't for me to be concealed, the bombing was timely. I really do. They will not be able to return. The Parthians have suffered heavy losses. They are unlikely to launch an offensive. As long as we invest in another infantry division, the situation will be very beneficial to us." Li Qing said. Li Qing’s battlefield was with the Parths. On the day of the bombing, he saw many Parths killed. Originally, they were used to fight for the final occupation of the Golden City, but now it seems that they have suffered heavy losses.

Outside the Golden City. Wang Xuan came here, and his current situation is not very good either. When he came here, he had not eaten two meals. They finally found a supply station. The food was not very good. They were all dead horse meat. The horse meat was very unpalatable. There were a lot of bloodshot eyes, but he saw some things he didn't want to see.

There were a large number of wounded soldiers around the supply station. Their wounds were simply bandaged. They used dirty cloth to explode, and many wounded soldiers were not treated in time.

"Sir, they were all injured by the bombing. Our doctors have nothing to do. There are too many people injured. There is also a problem with our supplies. Many people can only eat horse meat." One of his guards said. To.

Wang Xuan just nodded. He came from the Tubao side. The offense over there is very unsatisfactory. The battle in Tubao was very difficult. No matter how the Parthians attacked. The opponent can always take some cross-fire tactics to defeat the opponent. They seemed to have entered a death trap. In desperation, he could only stop the peacekeepers from attacking. After all, it would be extremely unwise to continue the attack. He can only stop the opponent from attacking and get some breathing opportunities.

"The situation here is even worse." Wang Chuan said to himself. Because what he saw was very bad. He has just arrived at the outer positions of the rest of the Golden City. He saw a large number of corpses lying on both sides of the road. His guard told him that these were all good things done by the Qin airship. The Qin people used intensive bombing methods. The clouds were thicker that day, and there was a snowfall later. The Qin people hid in the clouds and approached them. When they found each other, they had dropped a lot of bombs. At that time, the Parthians were gathering their forces to launch the last wave of offensive. As long as the last wave of offensive, they could take the Golden City and end the war. But now, the time from the end of the war seems to have become very far away. Because they can't make it possible to launch another wave of offense.

The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and their morale was extremely low. Many soldiers could not eat enough to eat, let alone have the strength to fight. Not only that, but quite a few soldiers complained about this war. Cold weather, annoying war.

"We should retreat, and should not continue like this. In this case, our situation will be even worse. While we still have a certain military strength. We should retreat quickly, otherwise, if the other party takes counterattack measures, The situation is very unfavorable for us." Wang Xuan said.

"Sir. It's unlikely, the above means may continue to fight." His guard shook his head and said. Wang Xuan shook his head. He felt that the Parthian had reached an unreasonable place.

"Da da da da." Just then. There was a rush of horseshoes, and a resting messenger passed by them nervously. The messenger's expression looked very anxious, and the sound of horseshoes seemed to be very urging. When Wang Xuan saw this situation, he suddenly felt that something bad had happened.

Immediately, Wang Xuan continued to check the positions of all parties, but the positions of all parties were not very good. The general casualties are high, and morale is low. Under such circumstances, it is extremely unwise to continue the war.

At night, Wang Xuan finally learned the news brought by the messenger.

In the north, the Dawan cavalry appeared in the north. They quickly attacked the already extremely weak Parthian position. There was very little defense, and the Dawan people attacked very smoothly. Their intention may be to block the retreat of the Parthians.

When he heard this news, Wang Xuan was very shocked. He believes that the war has been reversed. The Parthians have been unable to change this situation. They failed.
