The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 708: Take this opportunity to enter the Yangtze River

Shangwen really feels a headache about the navy problem, because the navy has encountered too many difficulties in its development. This is too difficult for a country that has developed from the northwest and has never seen the ocean. Traditional land warfare still oppresses the navy with difficulty.

"The navy is really useless." Feng Quji sighed. However, Shang Wen looked at Feng Quji helplessly. This is indeed the case. The navy now has no control over the Yangtze River. What is the navy?

"It's useless to say these things now. We should think of ways to solve the current crisis." Wang Jian said calmly.

"What the general said is." Shang Wen said after taking over the topic.

"Can the general have a way?" Feng Quji asked.

"This, I'm afraid there is no other way besides developing the navy." After speaking, Feng Quji looked at Shangwen, meaning that Shangwen was cutting military expenditures? If the navy is developed, how can military expenditure be resolved? And Shang Wen is also thinking about this issue. This problem is indeed difficult to solve. At present, there is no other way besides increasing taxes. Bonds, there are already too many bonds in circulation on the market. Too many banknotes are issued. Shangwen has indeed thought about this issue, but at present he does not know how many banknotes are still lacking in the market and whether things like inflation will happen. Shang Wen has no bottom. After all, he is not involved in economics.

"I think this may be an opportunity." Meng Yi said at this time.

"Oh. Tell me about it." Wang Jian looked at Meng Yi and said.

"It happened to be in the control area of ​​Chu State. We can take various measures to let Chu solve the water piracy problem by itself. At the same time, we can use the anti-water piracy problem to develop and strengthen our naval power." Yi said.

"Fortunately, but where the power of our navy comes from, military expenditures are difficult to solve." Feng Qu Jibo Lengshui said.

"This, I think, this is not the main issue. We can build a navy team by building armed merchant ships. We only need to issue them the title of temporary reserve ships and they can be included in the armed forces of the Qin State. Moreover, Qin Hasn't the country always needed the navy to build its own reserve force. Isn't there just such a force now?" Meng Yi asked rhetorically.

Hear this view. King Qin nodded naturally. Show approval. And Shang Wen also nodded. This fits in exactly with the idea of ​​integrating the army with the people. And only in this way can the major problems of naval development be completely solved. Especially the naval foundation issues. At this point, Meng Yi solved this problem very well.

The Qin State only needs to recruit those armed merchant ships in the name of the military, and these armed merchant ships are the reserve forces of the State of Qin to solve this problem. Although it was premature to recruit the Qin State Navy Reserve Forces. But this can also make up for the major problem of Qin's weak naval foundation. The development of Qin's navy has no commercial basis, and armed merchant ships are the reserve forces of Qin's navy. Especially crew replenishment, ship construction and launching. Use and so on. All these have laid a solid foundation for the development of the Qin Navy.

"As for the navy's ships, I think that the special bonds issued by the navy are sufficient for its use, and the navy recruits them in the name of armed merchant ships, manages them, trains them, and forms a new military force. "Meng Yi continued.

"In addition, the State of Chu has just ended the war against our country, and can make good use of the card of diplomacy." Shang Wen added.

"Yes, it is true. Water pirates have already occurred in Chu, and water pirates have become more and more rampant. This has a lot to do with the Chu army’s inability to suppress bandits. I think we can take the opportunity to fight with the Chu army. Bandits. To achieve our goal of entering the lower reaches of the Yangtze River." Meng Yi said.

King Qin nodded his approval. Wang Jian fell into thinking. And Wei Liao looked at the expressions of several people.

Later, the official response came after eight o'clock in the evening.

"The Qin government has taken necessary measures to cope with such incidents with Chu. You must also know that a series of agreements have just been signed between Qin and Chu, and the peace between the two parties is hard-won, in order not to destroy the peace. . We suggest that both parties try to resolve such incidents peacefully. I would like to make one point again.” The government spokesperson said vowedly.

"Qin Guo resolves such incidents with great sincerity," the spokesperson said.

"So what are the specific measures?" a reporter asked.

"This, I haven't finished. Listen to me." said the spokesperson.

"Compared to what everyone knows, Chu has already had a serious water piracy problem before. In addition to the war with Qin, water piracy has become more and more rampant. Now it has threatened the trade between the two countries’ merchant ships. This threatened Qin. We should assume the responsibility of Qin’s behavior."

"At the same time, taking into account the specific difficulties of Chu. For example, Chu's naval forces are not very sufficient, we suggest that the two countries work together to combat water pirates and jointly maintain the safety of water transport on the Yangtze River." The spokesperson said.

"Excuse me, did the Chu State Council agree?" a reporter asked.

"This, we are working hard in contact." The spokesperson said.

"Oh. We understand." The reporter said.

"Subsequently, reporters issued their own comments on this matter. But Qin State has already expressed a strong signal, that is, to participate in the safety of the Yangtze River water transport, which may allow the Qin State Navy to take the initiative to undertake some military tasks. , All newspapers have put forward developmental expectations.

Regarding such a thing, Qin really thought so. The main content of the meeting is also about the development of this. The State of Qin plans to rely on reserve forces to win this war against water pirates. At the same time, strengthen the control and training of reserve forces to strengthen the Qin Navy. Only through uninterrupted war can the Qin State Navy become more powerful.

After Qin published the news of the navy for several days, the navy of Chu also got specific intelligence information. However, Xiang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the navy, smiled.

These water thieves provoked a country that shouldn't be provoked, and they are likely to attract a tiger. A tiger who wants to develop a navy. This incident is likely to cause the other party to intervene in the Yangtze River valley of Chu State.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yan not only shook his head. This matter is a bit difficult. How shrewd the people of Qin are. They would never let this opportunity to intervene in the waters of Chu State by taking this opportunity. If that were the case, Chu State's national security would not be optimistic.
