Shangwen walked back and forth, thinking about how to solve the problem of the Dawan people. In his memory, the place occupied by the Dawan people is today's Central Asia. This area is rich in resources. Coal, manganese ore, copper mine,

gold ore, and chromium ore.

Thinking of chromium, Naofumi felt that he was very lucky. The people of Qin discovered the important role of chromium, which was also an important reason for the huge improvement of Qin's steel. All kinds of chromium alloy steel gave Qin a variety of materials to make cars.

cylinders, as well as various guns, parts, machine tools, etc.,

Without these, Qin's industry cannot be further improved, because the quality of steel cannot be broken through in the first place. Thinking of this, Shangwen believes that the development of Central Asia should first focus on the development of minerals. With such minerals as a breakthrough,

It will definitely have a huge promotion effect.

However, Naofumi quickly calmed down, even though he found a breakthrough. But how to develop the minerals is the key. The distance between the Western Region and Guanzhong is very far, and transportation to Guanzhong requires a lot of railway transportation capacity. Thinking of it

Here, Naofumi rethinks the possible methods for this breakthrough.

On the southwest plateau of Qin State.

"Hey, look, what is Zhao Jun doing?" A Qin Army private carried his rifle on his back and ate his lunch, roast leg of lamb, in one hand. This is a unique lunch in front of sentries on duty. Because they are responsible for very important tasks.

Vigilance mission. It is also necessary to have a good meal. And there is no shortage of mutton here. A box of canned food can be exchanged for several sheep. They already hate canned food. Long-term use has made them very fond of this food.

of disgust.

"Oh. They are building a fortress." At this time, a sergeant came over. The sergeant was also chewing on the leg of lamb. The sergeant said while chewing on the leg of lamb.

"Well, they built a fortress in front of our position. Isn't this a great threat to us?" Private Li Dang asked in confusion.

"Boy, you don't know this," the sergeant said with a smile and kicked the other person.

"Let me tell you, this is Zhao Guo acting as a shield for us." The sergeant said with a smile.

"What does this mean?" Li Dang asked in confusion.

"Okay, Lao Yang, don't make things difficult for him." A lieutenant came over and said carrying his lunch box. There was mutton soup in the lunch box, and he also held several noodles in his hand. The Qin Army's noodles were theirs.

It is something that the chef temporarily purchased. This kind of bread is hard and dry, very unpalatable, but easy to preserve. However, if this kind of bread is chopped with a bayonet and put into the mutton soup, it can be paired with delicious mutton and soaked

The noodle cake is also a very delicious food.

The long-term garrison life has given Qin officers and soldiers a persistent pursuit of food. They try to make the food more delicious every day. Because they have nothing to do when they are stationed here. It is a very boring life.

"That was the first step for Zhao Jun to establish a colony. They formally reached an agreement with the Qiang indigenous people. Zhao Jun gave them a lot of supplies and bought a lot of land. This was their colony." Lieutenant Wang

Guang explained.

"Oh. So that's it." The private nodded in realization.

"In the future, explain to Lao Yang what he doesn't know. Don't make fun of you." The lieutenant said to Lao Yang. Lao Yang was the sergeant just now. He was a veteran oil man.

Originally he was supposed to be a sergeant. Unfortunately, he went out without authorization, attacked the Qiang tribe and captured a woman. He hid it in the military camp. As a result, he was caught by the military police above. The above punished him.

He was then demoted to sergeant.

"Yes, sir." Lao Yang said reluctantly, and then gnawed on his leg of lamb.

"Sir, why did those Zhao people build a fortress in front of our position? If so, aren't they opposing us?" At this time, the private asked worriedly.

"It's not opposition. It's an interdependent relationship," Wang Guang explained.

"After Zhao Jun's fortress is built, they will build a passage, and then when the passage reaches a certain distance, they will build another fortress. In this way, there will be a connection between the fortresses. At the same time, the transportation of supplies can be maintained. And on both sides

, they will lay out a large number of mines and barbed wire for defense." Wang Guang explained. This is what the notice from the meeting above said.

It was not easy for Zhao to establish a colony. They faced the local Qiang indigenous tribe, because there were tribes like them in the colony. If they did not agree to leave the pastures they occupied, conflicts would break out between the two sides. Direct confrontation.

The people of Zhao are not afraid, what they are afraid of is

Constant harassment and cutting off the logistics supply lines. In order to open up and ensure the land they occupied, the Zhao people had to adopt this seemingly stupid method. Build a fortress and then extend it little by little. As long as the time is long enough, they can

Have your own colony.

"It would be too time-consuming to do this. There are enough mines and barbed wire on both sides." The private said while looking at the construction of the fortress in the distance.

"Yes. That's right. But the Zhao people are very strong-willed. They rely on the favorable situation of our position and come in step by step. If they establish the position, the pressure on our side will be reduced a lot. After all, the Qiang people will

Focus on the people of Zhao State." Wang Guang said.

"Hmm. I don't know what these Zhao people are after. This land is very barren, and you can't grow wheat, so you can only graze. With such a large investment, in the end, they got a lot of meat, dairy products, and skins." Li

When said with a smile.

"This is something we can't understand. Okay, hurry up and eat. After eating, you still have to be on duty to guard the entire company." At this time, Wang Guang said to Li Dang. He also took out his own

He stabbed the pancake in his hand little by little and threw it into his own mutton soup. This kind of food can only be eaten hot.

The reaction of the Qin army to the colony established by the Zhao people was dull. Although several high-ranking officers were very excited, in their opinion, if the Zhao people stood in front of them, they would be much more relaxed, and then they could take the opportunity to return

The rear area has been renovated. This is a good thing. However, most officers and soldiers are very dull about it because their lives have not changed much.

The border of Yan State and Liaodong.

"Let me tell you some good news. The Yan people have agreed to our request, and they have also sent us four heavy artillery pieces. These heavy artillery were sold to the Yan people by the Qin State. With these heavy artillery, we can blockade a considerable area.

." Meng Fang said with a smile. Because when he received the news, he was also very surprised. He did not expect that the Yan people would be so generous and even allocate heavy artillery to him.

"Really?" Guo Sheng asked with a smile.

"It's true. In addition, they have mobilized defensive artillery from all over the Yan Kingdom. I read the telegram and said there are about three hundred. These artillery are enough for us." Meng

Fang said with some excitement. He was born as an artilleryman and is very dependent on artillery. Without artillery, he would not be able to find a suitable job here.

"That's great." Guo Sheng said happily. With the support of artillery, he believed that the mine array would be more effective.

"By the way, what are you doing?" Meng Fang looked puzzled as Guo Sheng led his men to arrange a strange minefield.

"Haha. This is an important road nearby. I just discovered it yesterday. From the main road over there, I found this small road. Through this small road, I can bypass the 2, 2, and 3 heights over there. Then enter directly.

Liaodong. I saw that this place is very important, so I arranged some booby traps here." Guo Sheng explained.

"Booby mine? What kind of mine is this?" Meng Fang asked in confusion. He knew that there were three types of anti-infantry mines produced by the Qin State, and there were also some mines specifically designed to deal with cavalry, but he had never found any booby mines.

.

"Haha, of course you don't know. I'm afraid not only you, but also your entire Qin army don't know either." Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"What does this mean? Can Zhao Jun make his own landmines?" Meng Fang asked worriedly at this time. After all, it would be really surprising if such a thing happened to him.

"No, how could we make landmines ourselves? Zhao State doesn't even know many core technologies." Guo Sheng said at this time.

"Here, what are the booby traps you're talking about?" Meng Fang asked anxiously.

"Well, come and take a look." Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"Oh." Meng Fang didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but in order to find out what a booby trap was, he wanted to go over and have a look.

As he said this, Guo Sheng took Meng Fang to a place where Zhao Jun had laid mines. This was a small road. One side of the lower road was a slightly steeper uphill slope. The small road was made by people who had walked the wrong way over the years.

"Look." Guo Sheng said, pointing to the landmines planted under his feet.

"What does this mean?" Meng Fang looked at the ground. He found that several mine pits were connected. Moreover, not only the mine mines of the engineers were connecting the fire extinguishing devices with wires, but the connecting places were also specially supported with wooden blocks.

stand up.

"Oh. This is a kind of thunder." Guo Sheng explained.

"This road can only deploy extremely limited troops, and the marching team is very long. If we arrange it according to the general method, the damage caused will be very limited." Guo Sheng explained.

"However, if we set up mines in a row, you will find that such a method of detonating landmines will cause a lot of casualties." Guo Sheng said excitedly. Meng Fang squatted down and carefully examined the method of laying landmines.

After seeing it, Meng Fang suddenly understood. At the front of the road, Zhao Jun laid a triggering mine. The landmine was a triggering mine. When the opponent stepped on the mine, the front mine was still there.

Connected to the mines at the back, in this way, the mines at the back will be connected and triggered. Such a series of explosions will cause heavy casualties to the opponent.

"Wonderful." Meng Fang praised after seeing it.

"The opponent will definitely not think that there are mines behind it that will cause explosions. In this way, a large number of enemy troops will enter the long and narrow passage. At this time, a series of detonations will cause damage to the entire opponent's team. Really

It's really wonderful." Meng Fang stretched out his thumb and praised.

"Haha. This is a booby trap. Although the landmines were produced by you Qin people, the method of laying landmines was indeed thought up by us Zhao people. You definitely didn't expect this." Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"Yes. You are right. You Zhao people are indeed much better than us at this point." Meng Fang said.

"Our landmines are generally blocked, but in terms of application, who would have thought of so many application methods." Meng Fang showed approval.

"Haha." Guo Sheng smiled slightly.

"We have no choice. The landmines that your Qin army sold to our Zhao army are very limited. Even the grenades cannot be given very much. If we use them according to your method, what you sell to us will not be enough at all."

Guo Sheng shrugged and said, feeling very helpless.

"It's fine now. I have never laid so many landmines, and the explosives are absolutely sufficient. This is the desired result." Guo Sheng said to Meng Fang.

"Well, tell me quickly, what kind of landmines do you have?" Meng Fang asked with interest.

"This. It's very simple. You come with me." As he said this, Guo Sheng took Meng Fang to see how Zhao Jun laid landmines.

Next to the steep cliff, Zhao Jun buried a large amount of explosives in a natural mountain pass and laid a considerable amount of rocks on top of the explosives.

"What is this method of laying mines used for?" Meng Fang asked in confusion after seeing it.

"Used to block the enemy's path forward, especially in dense formations, explosives will blast these rocks into the sky and then fly down below. These rocks are the best weapons." Guo Sheng explained.

"Oh. So that's it." Meng Fang nodded.

"Is there any more?" Meng Fang asked next.

"Also, when laying landmines, you put grenades in them and blow them up. The flying grenades fly everywhere. This kind of killing effect is very good." Guo Sheng went on to talk about another method that is specially designed to deal with it.

Hearing this, Meng Fang admired the opponent's wit very much.

The landmines and grenades provided by Qin to Zhao Jun were not many, but Zhao Jun was able to make such arrangements based on specific tactics. This really made Meng Fang give a thumbs up in admiration, and then Meng Fang visited other buried mines.

The method of landmines and other methods are undoubtedly adding some booby traps. For example, to prevent the opponent from taking some countermeasures after becoming familiar with the mines, there is a fake mine on the top and a real mine on the bottom. In fact, this is also a kind of serial mine.

way.

Meng Fang deeply felt that the Zhao army's tactical achievements far exceeded that of the Qin army. Although the Qin army had an absolute advantage in weapons and firepower, the opponent was able to take advantage of specific geographical advantages and rely on extremely limited weapons in hand with flexible tactics.

But it can achieve unexpected tactical results, which causes

Meng Fang's attention. At the same time, he was also worried that if the Qin army wanted to attack Zhao one day in the future, it would first have to face such tactics, and the Qin army would have to face such tactics every step forward, and the Zhao army would not resist.

Very determined, thinking of this, Meng Fang felt very worried.

Sinjeong, South Korea. Royal Bank of Korea.

"Can the two companies jointly undertake such a project?" Han Cai asked Bai Fang.

"Yes. I think this will benefit both parties." White said.

"Moreover, we only need to invest a small part of the funds to complete this project, and the remaining or more funds can be invested in other places. This can reduce our risks and at the same time greatly

To expand our investment profits." Bai Fang then persuaded.

"I have seen your plan. We invested 800,000 gold, but only held 25% of the shares. This ratio is too low." Han Cai shook his head and said.

"Yes. The conditions can still be discussed. But I think this is a good opportunity." Bai Fang said easily at this time.

"What opportunity?" Han Cai asked warily.

"An opportunity to make a fortune," White said.

"You should know that this investment requires a lot of funds. We Wenyang only occupy a small proportion. With the addition of your Korean Royal Bank, our proportion is not small." Bai Fang said.

.

"However, the funding gap is still large. And judging from future demand, a lot of funds are still needed in this area. Therefore, we need some other funds to solve this problem." Bai Fang said.

"Yes. Continue." Han Cai nodded. He still didn't know what the Qin people wanted to do.

"Qi is a big market, an untapped market with huge potential. At the same time, I heard that Chu businessmen have also gathered quite a few businessmen in Xinzheng, South Korea. They can also get business investment from our Qin country.

But they don’t know what to do. I think this is an opportunity. If the two of us join forces to do this business, we will save a lot of money. At the same time, we can also operate the shares and obtain greater benefits.”

White Fang said.

"I still don't understand what you mean?" Han Cai shook his head.

"Well. Here's the thing. If the two of us join forces, we will save a lot of money. In this way, we will have some funds left. There are many projects now, but the most profitable projects are only a few. I think we should first control

Bank. We only need to set up a bank, jointly complete it, and then provide loans or investments. In this way, we can indirectly control the main business of Qi State or Chu State. I think the benefits of this are very obvious.

." Bai Fang said.

Hearing this, Han Cai's heart skipped a beat. If the Qin State hadn't personally proposed it, he really didn't know that there was such a plan, and such a plan was indeed very tempting. If the Korean Royal Bank went all out to make

This project may be very risky, after all, a large amount of money is concentrated in this project.

"We also consider this issue from the perspective of risk diversification. After all, if we do it as a bank, it will require a lot of funds and occupy a lot of funds. If it is used on one project, the risk will be very high. But if we do it together,

If so, the risks you may face will be much smaller, and you can still account for

According to a good proportion of the shares, I think this is very beneficial to the Korean Royal Bank, so we came to you to cooperate." Bai Fang said. In fact, they came to attract investment from the other party. After all, they got the Qi Guotian Group's

Entrusted. However, a series of lobbying must be carried out before receiving investment from the other party.

"With additional funds, we can do a lot of things, such as investing in other banks and encouraging them to participate in this project or other better projects. In this way, it will be very beneficial to us. If it is excessive

Concentrating funds on this, I think, takes up too much funds, is not flexible enough, and carries high risks. The current situation is that as long as you have a good project, you can make money. But there are not many people investing." Bai Fang

Speaking of.

Han Cai just nodded. Then he motioned for the other party to continue. He thought what the other party said was very reasonable, but he still needed a strong reason for investment.

"If we can disperse these funds and invest them in the construction of banks in other countries, the profits will be very considerable." Bai Fang continued to explain.

And Han Cai seriously thought about the pros and cons. What Bai Fang said was indeed a fact. The Royal Bank of Korea could indeed only provide funds for such a large project, but in the face of such a large project, what were the chances of South Korea getting a return?

, if there is no return, there will be huge risks. The Korean Royal Bank cannot cope with such risks, and such risks are already unacceptable to them.

"Okay, we accept your plan. At the same time, I hope to cooperate with your Qin State to launch a series of cooperation. On the affairs of Qi State or Chu State Bank." Han Cai thought for a while and said.

He thinks the other person's idea is correct.

"Oh." Bai Fang was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the other party would agree. This was a bit beyond his expectation. Bai Fang and Meng Lin had thought of such a method before, comparing the risk and profit investment.

Persuade the other party to give up most of its shares in the project and invest instead

Qi State, which also has promising capital, or the affairs of Chu State Bank. In fact, such a project is just a rhetoric of theirs, but what they didn't expect was that the other party actually agreed to do this. Bai Fang was really surprised, surprised

Don't even know what to do next.

"What? Does Mr. Bai want your headquarters to be involved again?" Han Cai asked at this time.

"Oh. No, no, I just feel that this happened a little too fast." Bai Fang explained.

"I will submit the next report to the superiors in detail, but there are still some details I need to know, and I hope Mr. Bai can explain it." Han Cai invited.

"Of course there is no problem with this." Bai Fang said with a smile. He had never thought that such a thing could be done. This was really an unexpected surprise.
