South Korea, Xinzheng. Supreme Command.

"The people of Yan people will do such tricks. Just look at their situation and you will know when. They actually symbolize their military merits according to the first level." Han Shu is very disdainful of the tricks of Yan people.

"Then, Lord, do we publish some articles condemning the disadvantages of the other party's doing this, after all, we are advertised as civilization." The Secretary of the Army said.

"Do we have any advantage in doing this?" Han Shu asked the army undersecretary like this.

"This, there is no good." said the army undersecretary.

"Yes, there is no benefit. Why do we do it? This kind of thing is very unfavorable for us. There are still many things we have to do. There is no need to spend more energy on this matter. These things Naturally, someone will deal with it." Han Shu said. The army secretary nodded, and he also felt that if they really did this, they might offend Yan Guo diplomatically and put South Korea in such a passive situation, which would not do any good. It is better not to do such a thing.

A new company was established in the conference room of a high-end hotel in Xinzheng. The Atlantic Railway Company, they are not building a railway near the Western Ocean, but their main purpose is to enter the Mediterranean market. The prospects of this market are very broad and the potential is huge, because there is no section of railway there.

The Atlantic Railway Company is formed by a series of railway companies including the Royal Railway Company of Korea, Qingcheng Railway Company, and Xinzheng Railway Company. They believe that forming an alliance is much better than entering the Mediterranean market alone.

"At present, we should see the situation like this. In the entire Mediterranean region, there is no section of railway, and the carrying capacity of the Suez Canal is very limited. He can pass a thousand-ton battleship and merchant ships in front of him, if the merchant ships are overloaded. , The situation will block the entire Suez Canal. At the same time, we must also clearly see that the widening of the Suez Canal will take two years or even longer. Then there will be a problem. In the entire peninsula, and the entire peninsula, as well as the entire Suez Canal. In the Mediterranean, the number of commercial ships carried by us is very limited. This will bring greater trouble to the expansion of the entire Mediterranean market. We need another means of transportation to achieve greater potential, and this means of transportation is the railway. We can better connect more ports and cities through railways. Although the Mediterranean region has developed maritime transport and convenient waterway traffic, it is undeniable that the importance of railways is also great for expanding the land market. The role of the company. This is undeniable.” A shareholder stood up and introduced. This is the purpose of their Atlantic Railroad Company. Their purpose is very simple. It is to expand the railway while driving more trade. This market is very important to them.

"But this requires more funds. Where do these funds come from?" a shareholder asked.

"We have a new company. The prospects for our development of this company are very broad. Our funds are still sufficient, but they are definitely not enough to cope with a larger railway. We can first build a railway along the Suez Canal, anyway. The labor force is very large. We can cooperate with the Suez Canal Company. In this way, our stock price can rise, and our funds will have a large source of funds. Then, according to the funds required for the new project, let everyone contribute. Let's solve this problem again. In this case, all the problems are solved. Of course. There may also be a lot of land issues involved. Don't worry about this, I believe. Our Korean soldiers and businessmen will do better than us. Better, I believe this.” said the shareholder. Other shareholder representatives nodded in agreement with such a thing.

The entire Korean stock market is currently in a huge upside. All stocks are rising. The room for upside is quite large. In order to expand their business needs, many companies have sold some of their shares and issued shares at the same time. The new equity will increase the number of shares in their hands. In this case, more and more shares will be issued. With the increasing capital of enterprises, they can completely get rid of the investment restrictions of banks and adopt more flexible financing methods to solve their financial problems. If it were not for the stock market to rise, they might not be able to solve this problem at all. They first had to borrow more funds from the bank.

In fact, all countries in the Mediterranean region need a railway, because a railway can make their logistics more smooth, and all these restrictions are mainly due to the restrictions of the Suez Canal caused by the navigation of ships in the Mediterranean region. If the width of the Suez Canal is wide enough to allow larger ships to pass, this problem may be better solved. There are no more factories in the area, and it is natural that the shipbuilding industry cannot be developed. The development space of the railway is naturally large. In fact, all of this is caused by the Suez Canal.

New Carthage City. Hannibal came to Li Wei's residence happily. Although it was cold, he was still very happy.

"Is there anything happy?" Li Wei put down the pen in his hand and asked. Because of the cold weather, he was unwilling to do anything. He just wanted to stay here and sleep. This is the best way to resist the cold.

"It is a mineral resource. We found a silver mine here. This means that not only can we pay the compensation to the Roma, we can also give part of the Senate, and at the same time we have a larger surplus, we can recruit More troops to fight, not only that, the most important thing is that we can introduce more weapons. The commander has agreed to our request, he promised to reduce some of the soldiers, and then recruit some new cavalry squad, equipped with a lot of Stirrups, saddles, and muskets, their mobility will be greatly increased." Hannibal said.

"We have other funds to help us further introduce the number of equipment." Hannibal said. Li Wei nodded. He knew that the meaning of metal currency to them was equivalent to that they had a lot of new currencies. In countries such as Carthage, Loma, and Syrah, Zhao Guo’s paper money, and South Korea’s paper money are all They are not in circulation. The reason is very simple, because the paper money of these two countries has no absolute prestige to promote their paper money to the above areas. In their view, this thin piece of paper is a deceptive thing. Only in parts of Aiji will circulate, of course. Merchants from other regions would also use banknotes occasionally, but they are also strictly restricted to areas such as Aiji. Although banknotes have great advantages and are very convenient, they can also be deposited in banks, but they believe that it is not safe. , Especially staying around, they think it is better to become gold coins, silver coins. Therefore, in these areas, the mainstream of circulation is still a large amount of gold and silver, but their foreign trade will create another fact, that is, their gold and silver continue to flow out. Therefore, the value of silver coins has risen a lot, which means that they can exchange more weapons and equipment.

"I plan to take the route of elite soldiers. There will not be too many people, only a few thousand people, but they can exert greater combat effectiveness. They will be equipped with more new weapons, and they will be trained strictly according to your requirements. However, The number of advantages is not enough to make up for our current situation, we also need to solve this problem from other aspects." Hannibal said.

"I can only contact you with more arms companies. Military consultants need to be dispatched to you from the country. You know, we are far from here. Many consultants need to walk a long, long time to get here, but I There is a suggestion, that is, you can set up an officer training class in advance. We need a large number of backbone officers. In addition, there are more sergeants that need to be trained. We can do something like this, without an officer. It is difficult to match new military backbones. At the same time, they must be good at learning and summarizing. Learning to command operations is an indispensable and important factor. Without such officers, they cannot do anything." Li Wei said . Zhao Guo paid great attention to the training of officers, because with such officers, they could do many, many things. In fact, it is true. In Carthage in history, it seems that only Hannibal can fight alone. It is difficult for an outstanding officer to cope with the crazy attacks of the Roma. Although the Romans did not have outstanding military talents, Scipio appeared in the end. And he was almost defeated by Hannibal. Scipio rarely encountered opponents throughout Spain. This explains a problem from the side. Carthage lacks an excellent army of officers, which makes their military combat capabilities behave in a modest manner, coupled with the difference in military systems, which finally led to the final failure of Carthage.

Li Wei quickly saw this point, so he just raised it. To train the requirements of Carthage’s own officers, this approach can avoid Carthage’s over-reliance on mercenaries and the general inability of officers to command combat.

"After these officers grow up and there are more troops, we still need more staff to solve this problem. Only in this way, the command and the army can enter the regularization." Li Wei said. He is copying Zhao Guo's set, but he has to say that such a set of system is completely capable of such a task. Hannibal nodded and took out his notebook to write it down.
