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

"This is Zhao Guoren's solution. They made a claim for compensation, but it was worse than we expected. There are only 3 million silver dollars and about 50,000 gold coins. The opening of trading ports and a series of corresponding concession areas Wait." The Minister of Finance reported with a report.

"Oh." Zhao Jia came up and took a look at the report. Then gave the report to the other party.

"What does the Ministry of National Defense think?" This seems to be an inevitable idea of ​​Zhao Jia. The military issues are handed over to the Ministry of Finance, which hands the financial issues to the military. This kind of questioning made almost all ministers feel annoyed, but helpless, because the other party was the prime minister.

"The Ministry of National Defense already believes that the conditions are relatively mature and acceptable. After all, such a situation is still acceptable to us. Our militia cannot further attack the other side, and the other side is unable to expel us. The two sides have formed In such a situation, many things need to be resolved through negotiation.” The other party said.

"Well, raise the bargaining chip even more. In this case, maybe the problem will become easier to solve." Zhao Jia wanted to say for a while. Because the amount of compensation feels a bit small. Zhao Jia thinks it can be mentioned. In this case, many things can still be solved.

"This." The Minister of Finance felt very embarrassed. Because doing this is not a good thing for them, it will force the Carthaginians to continue to resist.

"Just do it, they will definitely solve this problem. They will compromise, I believe this." Zhao Jia said.

Zhao Guo, Ministry of National Defense.

"The prime minister has no idea what happened on the front line." The Secretary of Defense looked at the report in his hand, which was sent from the Ministry of Finance. This kind of thing makes him feel very embarrassed.

"Sir, things have reached such a point. We can't do anything." A lieutenant colonel said helplessly. Their prime minister thinks that the bargaining chip can be mentioned, but the problem is how they raise it, which requires more cooperation with them in military operations.

"Think of a way, this problem must be resolved. Understand? This is related to negotiation. If the negotiation is not successful, everything will fail." The Secretary of Defense said solemnly.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant colonel nodded and said. But they have no good way.

Inside an office of the Ministry of Defense. A captain officer took a report to his chief of office.

"What is this?" the major asked, looking at the other person.

"Sir, it's a batch of chemical chlorine. A businessman bought such a batch of steel gas cylinders, and he has a complete set of equipment for making chlorine." The captain replied.

"In Thebes, sir. But the businessman obviously didn't figure out the situation. There was a lack of water. Although we needed clean tap water, his equipment came late." The captain said.

"What we should focus on now is the war, not to solve the tap water problem for them." The major threw the report to the captain. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with such a thing. His subordinates were not concerned about how to solve their war, but were concerned about the water supply problem. Indeed, the major admitted that there is a lack of water, but desalination is even more important.

"No, sir, I don't mean that. I mean, chlorine is also a kind of poisonous gas." The captain submitted a report again.

"Poison gas?" The major looked at each other.

"Yes, sir, this kind of poison gas is very useful to us, because it means that we can solve many, many problems. And these problems can basically be solved like this." The captain said.

"Poison gas, do you mean we use poison gas to attack?" The major looked at each other.

"Sir, this seems to be the only feasible way. Because there is only such a way to solve the problem. There is also. These devices are readily available. As long as we do this, everything will be over." The captain said. The major was silent.

"Sir, they are in Thebes, not very far from us. We can be transported there quickly by the navy. If the weather conditions are mature, everything can solve this problem." The captain said.

"Well, you stay with this report, I need to apply." The major thought for a while and said. The use of chemical poisons will indeed bring about large-scale deaths. This kind of death will be very shocking, shocking everyone is very scared. This is where they fear the most.

"Yes, sir." said the captain. Chlorine was disinfected with water from the source. A businessman from Zhao country obviously thought of this, because he knew that the abnormal drought there and the clean water was of great significance to it, but he was obviously late. Moreover, he was also very disappointed with the provision of water. why? Because he felt that he had done a stupid thing. Most of the water here depends on desalination, or very limited rivers provide fresh water. For example, the Nile River can only provide a few nearby areas. Even Pressure Shanda Port had to build a tap water pipeline to go there, which means that they need very little equipment, because the other party has a monopoly on such tap water supply. This set of equipment was thus abandoned.

But this was seen by the military. They feel that this is a very good weapon, chemical gas warfare. The General Staff has always conducted such a research before, and there has been a lot of research. But there is no actual operation. If they can operate this time, the situation will be extremely beneficial to them. This is an idea of ​​the captain. But many senior executives seem to have forgotten this. Because their thinking began to be solidified, they thought that using such weapons would harm their morals. In fact, it was true, but in the end, they still used them.

Qin State, Xianyang.

"Do you think this thing is feasible? I feel very unreliable. There is nothing to build a city, kidding, you know, I also know some situations, the establishment of the city, or the geographical advantage, For example, in Xianyang, he has transportation, resources nearby, finance and population, but Yan Guo has nothing, so I am very opposed to this kind of investment, to be honest, because it is simply There is not much effect. This situation will only make our situation more unfavorable. I think you should understand this situation." Yingyu said.

"Yes, Chairman, many people have explained this, but I feel that it is possible to achieve such a kind of urban construction. This is a brand-new model. The prime minister said it must be possible, and I think it must be possible. "Xiao He said so.

"You think so too, I think you are crazy?" Yingyu looked back at Xiao He. For Qin State to establish a concession area in Yan State, in fact, a city will gradually develop there. The plan of the Prime Minister's Mansion is good. For example, he explained that there are various needs for establishing a city, which will bring a lot of investment, etc , But the result is that many banks will not invest in that project for the time being because Koreans themselves are shrinking. Why do they have to participate in it? By contrast, invest in mountain countries. The situation in Goguryeo is also much better than the investment in Yan. The order is chaotic, economic development continues to be sluggish, and negative growth may occur. Qin’s economists are generally not optimistic about Yan’s economy. They believe that Yan will become the second Wei. If this country is not its own geopolitical advantage, I am afraid that all countries will bite into one.

"There is no madness. Chairman, they have such a demand. We should see such a demand. It is precisely because many banks cannot see this, so we have to solve it this way. Otherwise, all problems will be solved. It will be difficult to proceed. This is very important to us." Xiao He said.

"Hmm. Do you really think so?" Yingyu asked.

"Yes, Chairman, it is indeed possible to do this. For example, trains. We never believed that trains can transport so much goods. As a result, we did it. We never believed that we could fly to the sky. As a result, , Now we can enter the sky at will. There are many things that we couldn't do, and we have done it. Under such circumstances, many things have exceeded our situation." Xiao He said.

In Xiao He's eyes, Shang Wen is a god-like existence. Many of his policies have deeply affected the Qin State. War is no longer a way of extensive expansion of the Qin State. He has become more mature, refined, and more sophisticated. Through other methods, he can easily achieve his goals. Qin is no longer a country that relies solely on force to solve problems. He relies on comprehensive national strength. This kind of national strength solution far exceeds that of any country. This is all countries. It's incomparable.

"I, all right. I believe your judgment." Yingyu thought for a while and said.

Perhaps Xiao He is right. Although from a rational point of view, this is a mistake, if from a perceptual point of view, they should be crazy sometimes, so that it will be more exciting. If such an effect can be achieved, their situation will be more favorable. This is what they should do. Faced with such a situation, they should solve this problem properly.

"Thank you, chairman, in this case, all our problems can be solved." Xiao He said. Reason obeys perceptual knowledge, because they are human, they will also be crazy about themselves.
