State of Zhao, Handan, Admiralty.

"This is the suggestion of the Chief of Staff. He made us pay attention to the development of the navy, because in the future, Zhao Guoguo will collide with the South Korean navy in naval affairs. This possibility is very high." The navy secretary handed out a report and submitted it. The Secretary of the Navy just shook his head.

"We don't want to let this matter. Our state of Zhao is indeed not very good. To our west is the powerful Qin Army. Although the Qin Army hasn't expanded for a long time, his military presence is still very powerful. "The Secretary of the Navy said.

The Undersecretary of the Navy looked at the Secretary of the Navy, and he wondered what the Secretary of the Navy said.

"Therefore, for a long time, our Zhao State’s funding has been developed in the face of the people of Qin State. But the current situation is that the Chief of Staff has even leaned to our side. The question is, can the Zhao State Navy compete with the South Korean Navy. War?" The Secretary of the Navy said worriedly. Although Zhao Guo’s navy has won, his advantage in overseas operations is not very large. First, they are not as large as the South Korean navy, nor do they have combat experience. In addition, Koreans occupy a large number of overseas supply bases. The key area of ​​China, the port city, and the country of Zhao, there are only a few very limited points. The only way to change this situation is to increase naval funding.

"Sir, no matter what, we should fight for such a thing, otherwise, Zhao Guo's situation will be very bad." Said the Vice Admiral of the Navy.

"Well. Well, we can only fight for it. Our navy can only be built at a speed that we have never experienced before." The Secretary of the Navy said. Judging from Li Mu’s attitude, it seems that Zhao Guo is gradually changing his strategic focus, starting from the original land to pay attention to the situation of the sea, because the land area is small, and there is much less room for maneuvering. In addition, There are still quite a few places that need a lot of raw materials, such as important iron ore, rare resources imports, etc., all of which need to be imported from overseas. Under such circumstances, Zhao’s strategic focus has naturally shifted to the ocean. It can be said that Zhao Guo's development thinking has become flexible.

Department of War. Army officers came in and out. They seem to be very busy.

"Goguryeo people need artillery?" The Secretary of the Army looked at the report in his hand. Then it was handed over to the undersecretary of the army.

"Yes, sir, they need at least 37mm artillery. In addition, they also hope to be able to produce machine guns or light machine guns. It is possible to assemble them. After all, the losses in the war are very large, and they The expansion of the army in the future is also a key factor, and we must pay attention to this." said the Army Deputy Chief.

"If we provide them with these technical drawings, those military enterprises will kill us. At most, we let them set up an assembly plant there. We can provide them with some key parts and they can produce some parts. , And then we are providing them with other weapons. We have no other choice but to do otherwise. Otherwise, all I know is that those **** military factories will use their relationship to push us down." The Secretary of War was not angry. Speaking of. Because the arms embargo treaty is in a critical period, all countries are actively discussing the prohibition of large-scale exports of more threatening weapons, such as large-caliber artillery. On this point, they have reached a consensus. In this way The weapons imported by various countries can only be placed on light weapons, and if they can produce light weapons, they can expand their military power. The Goguryeo people hope that such an arsenal will appear.

"But for those light weapons, we can think about it. Specifically, we need to look at the attitude of the military factory. Their attitude is our attitude." The Secretary of the Army said. The military represents the interests of the military factory. Only by exporting a large number of weapons of all kinds can they ensure that their interests proceed well.

"Yeah. Sir, there is one more thing from Aiji. There are two things in total, one has a lot to do with the bank, and the other is to send army officers. This is the request of the Carthaginians. "The Army Deputy Chief reported.

"Army officer, what does this mean?" the Secretary of the Army asked puzzledly. He really didn't understand why he had to send army officers.

"Sir, it's like this. They have an officer named Hannibal who has a lot of things. This is a young officer in his twenties, but he has a lot of opinions. He always makes such requests. This dispatch Officers, their idea is that they want to reform their army. They need to equip them with a large number of new weapons, innovate their own tactics, and teach them tactics. In addition, they plan to establish an army officer school to let their army officers Able to learn and master modern tactics and battles well," said the Army Deputy Commander.

"It seems that Hannibal has an idea. They also know that officers are the key. If they train a large number of officers who can fight, their military tactics will be upgraded to a great level, facing such a situation. I Think, they will definitely do this." said the Secretary of the Army.

"Yes. Sir. Are we sending such officers? I think that the emergence of such an officer advisory group may bring us many unexpected gains. For example, we can learn more about Carthage and Koreans. That’s how they did it. At present, they have sent a large number of military officers to Indy to instruct them on how to eliminate the Holy Fire cults. In my opinion, the Holy Fire cults are just a group of thugs. However, this situation still affects us very much. Big difference.” said the army’s undersecretary.

"Well. For this matter, we can send officers to them. This is the best way for us to get rid of those officers. As you know, a large number of officers graduate every year. This is simply a disaster for us. This kind of thing, we can no longer eat and allow it to happen, this is a very bad thing for us." The Secretary of the Army said.

The size of Zhao's army is limited, but there are many military officer graduates who graduate each year, which creates a serious fact. That is, there are more and more officers, but of course the duties of officers are more limited. The army cannot be all officers. If there are a large number of idle officers, the salaries of officers will inevitably be reduced. In fact, many officer graduates are already dissatisfied. Because their salary is not enough to make them change in the next few years, not only that, but their situation can't change much. Now it happens that a large number of military officers can be arranged to go to various places.

"Sir, I think we should use this as an opportunity to send a large number of military officers to various colonies. In this way, our officers will have the opportunity to learn and practice. As for their work, I think we can let They train police forces, or militias, patrols, and other low-intensity combat missions. In this way, we can solve the problem of our huge army of officers." The Army Secretary suggested.

"This is a very good idea." The Secretary of the Army said.

"Okay. That's it. Let's go ahead. As for the bank, I am surprised, why do they mention the bank?" the Secretary of War asked.

"We don't know this, but there is only one possibility, that is, they need to solve financial problems. What we know is that Carthage has its own trading network, but they are unlikely to invest a lot of money in Among them, after all, their funds are also limited, and their financial situation is also limited. If large-scale arms expansion and war preparations are necessary, more funds will be needed. I think they definitely want to solve this problem through this method. Looking at it, I think that cooperating with the government is indeed a very good bank expansion plan. If such a problem can be solved, the bank is more willing to fund it." said the Army Deputy Chief.

"Well, no matter what, we are unlikely to help them solve such problems. You and I know that the bank's affairs are not the responsibility of our Department of the Army. Only the **** choppy people have the final say. "The Secretary of the Army said so. For the bank. The Secretary of the Army’s attitude is that they are all miscellaneous, because they always consider their own interests, rather than the overall interests, they are very selfish.

"If the Carthaginians borrow money, if the bank is willing to borrow money, I personally have no objection. After all, those chores will **** up the **** Carthaginians alive, just like, what is the name of the corpse we know? What?" the Secretary of the Army asked.

"Mummy, sir, that's called a mummy," said the army deputy commander.

"Yes. That's the thing." The Secretary of the Army said with a smile. The so-called mummies, in fact, are the spoils of the Koreans, and they got the pharaoh's mummy. They decided to do some research, and some medical experts asked for a solution. Because only in this way can we truly understand how many people love you. Aijiren knows nothing about it. Because the Koreans are very curious and strictly blocked such news. After the news of the mummy came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. After all, the tomb of the king is still full of mystery for many civilians. The more mysterious the place, the more associations it can create. . After all, this is behind the mystery, and they hope such things can attract their great attention.

Immediately, the Army of the State of Zhao determined some of the next things. For other developments, they still have a lot to do. The Carthaginians got what they wanted.
