The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Tian Heng considered stopping advancement. In addition to its own factors, there are also several complicated diplomatic situations.

The reason why the Warring States Period was able to form the Warring States Period was because countries could temporarily form a balanced relationship, which was not just a simple balance of power. Various factors are involved, such as politics, military affairs, and diplomacy. It is precisely the existence of this multifaceted factor that allowed the Warring States situation to temporarily exist in a balanced posture. But now this balanced posture needs to continue to balance.

Tian Heng's idea is correct, and the current situation in the region needs to continue to maintain this balance. Moreover, Qi's unilateral actions have already broken this balance. Especially the sense of crisis brought about by the imbalance of neighboring relations.

If Qi State unilaterally occupied Yan State to be established, then from Qi State's point of view, the benefits brought to Qi State would be enormous. First of all, it is not only the territory that expands at once. As far as Yan State is concerned, it is the northern gold mine of Yan State. And the huge economic benefits brought by the Liaodong Liaoxi Economic Belt will also make Qi a powerful country.

The northern gold mine of Yan State provided enough gold. This gold can pay all the war expenditures and expenses of Qi State in the war against Yan State. Not only that, Qi can also get what Qi wants most. Liaodong Liaoxi Economic Belt. This economy has a large number of coal mines and iron smelters. These factory facilities can greatly increase Qi's iron smelting capacity. At the same time, Qi will get rich iron smelting technology, especially the use of coal smelting technology.

Although steel is an important measurement resource in this period. However, iron resources are still an indispensable and important resource. Therefore, the railway is a very important strategic resource for the country. At the same time, Qi can obtain the technology he most wants from iron smelting. These technologies can support Qi's new development opportunities.

In addition to these, there are other things. For example, some light factories. Production of canned boxes, paper mills. And simple newspaper printing houses and so on. All these things are of great help to the development of the country. Qi wants to introduce these technologies, but Qin imposes a strict technological blockade. They want to import the technology from other countries, but the surrounding countries have adopted a resistive and vigilant attitude due to geopolitical reasons.

Among them, Zhao Guo's attitude is the most positive. Zhao Guo is close to Yan Guo. Therefore, they are more sensitive to anything that happens in neighboring countries, especially Qin's economic assistance to Yan. Let the country of Yan quickly rise, and this rise is manifested in the economic aspect. The economic development of Yan State is faster than that of Zhao State. Because Yan was the first to establish arms trade with Qin. At the same time, the State of Qin was confining the State of Zhao in the East. A large amount of assistance was provided to the country of Yan. In addition to aid, there are also a large number of Qin concessions. The emergence of these concessions brought Qin's advanced production technology, management and new production models. The emergence of these novelties has greatly improved Yan's economy.

The emergence of industries such as papermaking, coal mining, gold production and iron smelting. Let Yan's economy rise rapidly. These factors allowed Yan to surpass Zhao in military terms. It is for this reason. Zhao Guocai reconsidered diplomatic relations with Qin. At the same time, he accepted Qin's strategy of benevolent and unexpected friendship.

As for the Qin State. Because Yan turned to attack Qi. At the same time, in order to disintegrate the military power of the neighboring country Zhao. The plan is to use military forces to rectify, and to consider regional balance relations. Agree to re-establish a new diplomatic relationship with Zhao Guo.

Qin will not allow a region to appear as a regional hegemon. This is also a new change in Qin's strategy of distant diplomatic and close offensive. Zhao's situation is really in line with Qin's current new situation.

If it unilaterally supports Yan State, Yan State is likely to become a potential regional hegemon, because Zhao State lags behind Yan State in terms of weapons because of the lack of new technologies in his own country. Yan has already shown advanced weapons in a regional battle, even in the absence of outstanding generals. As long as their troops persist in training, they can defeat Zhao Jun. This is a fact.

But if Yan Guo blindly attacked Zhao Guo and took Zhao Guo down. In fact, this possibility exists. Yan State can use its weapon superiority to launch a war against Zhao. Zhao's main force is on the side of Qin. Unable to face the predicament of being under the enemy. And at the time, the biggest threat was precisely Qin. If it develops in accordance with the current situation, it is very likely that the State of Zhao will be destroyed. But Qin Guo helped Zhao Guo in his own consideration.

Qin's military focus was on the outside at the time. Especially the offensive from the North and the West. Qin State was also unable to launch a fatal blow to Zhao State. If the country of Yan captures the part of the country of Zhao. It is very likely that Yan will rise. Form a new regional hegemon. Moreover, Qin's blind support to Yan would also threaten Qin's interests. Yan State can directly threaten the newly established state of Qin State to the north. But the strategic space of the state is not very large. If Yan State develops too fast, it is very likely that Qin State will lose its newly established state. It is for this reason that the State of Qin helped the State of Zhao.

In this way, Zhao and Yan can check and balance. At the same time, Qin also used Zhao's new diplomatic **** to check and balance South Korea's rapid development. Although South Korea poses little threat to Qin from the current situation. Because South Korea lost the most territory. Nanyang County, the largest county, has been merged into the territory of Qin.

However, the domestic development strategy has a narrow space. At the same time, military forces need a long period of rectification. These factors have forced South Korea to re-formulate a new strategic development plan. They must learn the advanced technology and advanced management of the Qin State to promote their own economic development.

In fact, South Korea’s economic development is indeed very fast. South Korea is also the first to introduce Qin technology on a large scale. Open a factory. Prosperity is a country where education is shared. Moreover, the people of this country are very enthusiastic about participating in economic activities. The Koreans took full advantage of their geographical advantages. If it continues to develop at this level. Further developing its economy, South Korea is likely to develop its military power.

According to a military intelligence report from Qin State. South Korea is working hard in this direction. They began to actively participate in all the wars of the Qin State, and they hope to strengthen their military power by participating in these wars. And South Korea has always been generous in the purchase of arms. Although it is not very large in terms of number scale. At present, South Korea's maximum strength does not exceed two infantry divisions plus a fast mobile brigade. But they are well equipped. The number of water-cooled heavy machine guns is much higher than that of Zhao Jun. The number of artillery has also risen rapidly. In addition, the country's more developed railway and highway network. This is an army that cannot be underestimated.

But if Zhao Guo joins in. South Korea must divide its forces and consider the attitude of the State of Zhao. In addition, Zhao's own country relies on the export of a large amount of mineral resources. Mainly coal. They occupied what is now the northwest part of Shanxi, where there are rich coal resources. The development of South Korea's industry needs these coal resources. Therefore, the relationship between the Kingdom of Zhao and South Korea is temporarily in a good relationship. As long as the price of coal does not undergo major changes.

But this relationship between the two parties is precisely in the hands of Qin Guo, who used bank loans to control Zhao Guo's financial system. Simultaneously. Also use advanced financial means. Qin State Xianyang Commodity Futures firmly controlled coal prices. If Qin wants to move, he can manipulate market prices to hit South Korea. The relationship between the State of Zhao and the State of Qin is maintained at the price of coal between the State of Qin and the State of Zhao.

Zhao State is the largest supplier of coal, while Qin State is the largest consumer. South Korea is the second largest coal consumer. The train still uses coal. And the power provided by coal. Especially for boiler equipment, various factories in South Korea need such coal to provide power.

It is precisely because of the above factors. Only Qin, South Korea, Zhao, and Yan can maintain a relationship of allies. The foundation of this relationship is the foundation of complex economic relations between countries.

But now, the foundation of this economic relationship is being broken. The first to be destroyed was the State of Yan, and this destruction came from the State of Qi.

If Qi State occupies Yan State, then Zhao State will face a strong opponent. Qi can defeat Yan. It shows that the military strength of the country cannot be underestimated. Because, at this time of important change between cold weapons and hot weapons. Qi can beat his opponent head-on. It shows that it has reached a certain level of advancement in weapons.

If Qi State occupies Yan State. Then Zhao Guo would re-examine his surroundings. Two powerful countries sandwiched Zhao Guo. Qi State on the Eastern Front and Qin State on the Western Front. In this way, the State of Zhao will face east-west combat.

Diplomatic relations change at any time. And Zhao Guo couldn't hold his land. Especially Qi State on the Eastern Front. There are no geographical obstacles on the eastern front to help them defend. At the same time, they do not have so many troops and weapon resources to defend.

Therefore, Zhao Guo didn't want such drastic changes in their east. They want to return to the original state. It's best not to move anything.

Except for Zhao Guo. And South Korea. South Korea's strategic space is narrow. The country’s military power is inherently weak. There is a strong opponent to the west of him. If there is another strong opponent. Qi State. So the pressure on South Korea is also very high. Especially the emergence of Qi. Qi Guo is likely to avoid Zhao Guo. Launch a war against South Korea. South Korea is in a strategic need for homeland defense. Actively send volunteers to participate in the Yan State War. Nominally, it is to exercise one's military strength. Actually. It is the best effort to achieve a certain strategic goal.

These underlying factors. Tian Heng must consider it carefully. Therefore, he proposed not to move forward too far. Instead, stop. Look at the attitudes of all parties before moving on. This idea is very correct. Because diplomatic relations may affect front-line warfare at any time. Even if it is to win. Forced to retreat due to the diplomatic situation.
