Zhao Guo, Handan.

Inside the Lianfa airship manufacturing plant.

"I really didn't expect that Koreans would buy our airships. This time our airships have gained a good reputation." An airship worker is repainting the airship. They have to follow Korean designs and standards.

.This is their first foreign military order.

The Zhao Air Force, especially their aerial gunboat unit, gained a good reputation during the Dawan battle. The power of the gunboats was highly rated by the Qin military. As for the Korean Army Air Force, they needed such a large force.

powerful airships. So they placed an order and purchased fifteen such airships. They were mainly used for air combat.

"That is, this is the best airship in our Zhao country. Selling it to them, I feel that this matter is not simple. I am also worried that if Koreans learn to use this airship, what will happen to our sky in the future?

What can we do?" an old engineer asked worriedly.

"Well, I think we can develop a new airship. This airship is not just this kind. There are many things we need to do." The other party said.

"That's right. It costs a lot to develop such an airship," the old engineer said.

Zhao State General Staff.

"It's a good thing that Koreans also come to buy our airships. This shows that our airships are valuable." Li Mu happily told the air force staff.

"However, sir, the Koreans are only purchasing airships. In terms of specific engines, they do not have large-scale deployment of our engines. They seem to have their own engines to propel them," the air force staff officer said.

"Yes. I know this. After all, the engines we produce are actually assembled goods." Li Mu said.

"We cannot produce the engines for airship propulsion ourselves, because it would cost a lot of money to solve such a problem. We cannot do such things as developing, copying, and producing them," Li Mu said.

"Selling such arms and weapons is also good for us. With such orders, we can improve, increase our production, and increase our profits." Li Mu said.

"Well. What the sir is saying is, I heard that the Koreans can produce their own engines, which are gasoline engines. However, the gasoline engines on our airships come from Qin. We can only produce some parts, and the key ones are

But the components still have to be produced from Qin. If this happens, the development of our engines will be very bad." The Air Force staff officer said worriedly.

"What it means is that we must get rid of such a situation, and at least make this situation very beneficial to us." Li Mu said. He knew that the technical limitations of the Qin people were reasonable. If the Zhao people had not mastered

airship engine technology, their airship production will be greatly restricted. In this regard, the Koreans are ahead. They have their own

With the technology, they can produce their own engines. Although the power is seriously insufficient, it is enough to solve their own problems. However, Zhao Guo does not have such technical advantages. They are just ahead in airship design.

But to really make the airship move, once the Qin State implements a technical blockade, they still have no way.

"In this matter, we must do such a thing ourselves. Write a report and give it to the Prime Minister. Maybe they can do such a thing themselves. In short, we must do such a thing well, and there must be no such technical problems.

"A serious defeat." Li Mu said to his staff. The development and growth of air power is the most effective force to deal with Qin's military balance. If Zhao wants to gain its own security, it must have its own technology patents. Otherwise,

It is impossible for them to develop and grow.

Qin State, Xianyang, a Tianjun experimental site in the northern suburbs.

"Bang bang. Bang bang." On the test site where continuous shooting sounds kept appearing, they were using the newly developed anti-aircraft gun Type 2 of the Qin State. In fact, it was an anti-aircraft gun specially designed to shoot into the air.

This kind of artillery is mainly designed to shoot into the air, so their firing part is very large, but the warhead is relatively small. They still use solid shells, and there is a kind of impact shell, but this kind of shell is not very cost-effective, and the production technology

It is relatively difficult, so it has not been promoted on a large scale.

"Sir, these are our anti-aircraft guns. They can shoot up to two thousand meters high. At such a height, all airships and aircraft will be shot down. However, we need greater density to achieve such an effect.

"A technical officer explained.

"Well. As long as it's useful, it's okay. When the Zhao Air Force fought in Dawan this time, their gunboats showed great power. The Army and the Space Force were all worried about their gunboats. According to the intelligence department

It can be said that this kind of airship was specially designed to deal with our bombing airships from the beginning. It can be said that the Zhao people came for us, and we must also develop an airship that can check and balance them.

"The boats are coming," said a colonel of the Tianjin Army. He was an officer of the Tianjin Army in charge of air defense. Air defense issues were left to the Army and the Tianjin Army. Originally, such ground air defense weapons, such as anti-aircraft guns, should have been invented by the Army. However, the Tianjin Army

However, they modified and enlarged their own cannons and turned them into ground-based anti-aircraft weapons, and the Army had to develop a brand-new anti-aircraft weapon to deal with air targets.

"However, sir, the Ministry of National Defense sent a report saying that they feel that anti-aircraft weapons like ours are a bit passive and they are not satisfied. Moreover, Type II anti-aircraft guns require a certain number. Besides, jamming accidents are easy to occur. The artillery's

The density is difficult to meet to a certain extent." An engineer said truthfully.

"Oh. There is such a thing." The colonel said dissatisfied.

"Yes. After all, this kind of weapon has just been researched. It still needs some time to think about and improve. Otherwise, it will be difficult to equip it on a large scale." An engineer said.

The senior officials of the Qin State have already focused on the issue of air defense. However, in terms of research, all parties have their own ideas. For example, the Tianjun Army plans to develop a weapon similar to the Zhao State's air gunship. This is a typical response policy.

.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The Space Force has developed weapons such as anti-aircraft guns. Such weapons are more suitable for the army. However, the army has no other choice. They can only use weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns. However, for such weapons, the army is very

They are not satisfied because they are useless in shooting high." Wei Liao said worriedly.

"The air defense problem is very big. We have developed a variety of anti-aircraft weapons. I saw that the Army seemed to be very anxious. They actually developed a weapon like fireworks bombs." Naofumi said with a smile. Firework bombs

It was a bold idea of ​​the early air defense forces. It has to be said that Qin still had some design geniuses. Perhaps it was that

A famous designer saw the fireworks bombs flying into the sky. He thought he could also design such a bomb, which contained various weapons, and then flew to a certain height in the air to explode. The weapons could be fired with multiple bombs.

In order to achieve the effect of air defense weapons, Shangfumi felt that this idea was very creative.

"The research on weapons is relatively good. However, we face a big problem, that is, how do we find each other?" Naofumi asked such a question.

"The air is no better than the land. They can hide in the clouds. When they go out, we can't detect them at all. Moreover, with the development of technology, an altitude of five thousand meters is no longer the limit. They can hide in the high altitude to avoid us.

For reconnaissance, there are more ways to avoid the airships we sent to intercept." Naofumi said.

"This." Wei Liao really didn't know how to deal with such a problem. Because the air defense problem was still a new problem, and faced with such a new technical problem, he had not yet made a correct technical judgment, because every time

Once technology emerges, there will be a serious and huge technological crisis.

"We should focus on this." Naofumi said.

"Judging from the current technology." Shang Wen originally hoped that Qin State would pay attention to electromagnetic research and invent radar through electromagnetic research. However, in this regard, Qin State's research has only reached a certain level, but it needs to reach the level of invention.

Using radar also requires a certain amount of technical accumulation. This is something that cannot be delayed by time.

"We still use aircraft, not only because they are fast, but more importantly, they can greatly meet our air defense needs. Although this takes some time or investment in technology, but in air defense

We will have a head start on the issue," Naofumi said.

"Yeah. I understand." Wei Liao recorded. In fact, Shangwen was very dissatisfied with the air defense practices of the Qin State's Heavenly Army and the Army Aviation Corps, because their approach was still based on the fact that airships were more important than airplanes, and Qin State's air defense

Power still values ​​the carrying capacity of the airship. This makes Naofumi very dissatisfied and annoyed. Therefore, he hopes to promote the development of such things.

"However, on this matter, I think we cannot move too fast. You must know that airships still have great advantages. In comparison, airplanes still have relatively large disadvantages." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen.

.

"Well, we can only take one step at a time." Naofumi said. Naofumi pushed several times, but the military was still on its original track. There was no way around it.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

"Look, the Seth people are constantly increasing their troops. They seem to be disadvantageous to us." Han Shu said while looking at the report in her hand.

"Well, Your Majesty, we have sent additional reinforcements. However, we are still unable to attack the Kingdom of Sais. The attack should be left to the Persians." Zhang Liang said to Han Shu. In fact, Zhang Liang did not

I hope that the South Korean military will intervene too much in the affairs of the Sais. After all, land operations are very expensive and the results may not be good.

"Yes. I understand what you mean." Han Shu said to Zhang Liang.

"You don't want us to get too involved in land operations. In that case, we can save a lot of military expenses." Han Shu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang nodded.

"I have asked the Ministry of War to establish the Army Air Force. They will purchase fifteen airships for bombing. In addition, our South Korean Air Force will also participate and let them bomb important cities of the Sais to deter them. I hope those

Bombing airships can achieve our goals," Han Shu said.

"Well, Your Majesty, such a thing is a good thing. However, there is one thing we must pay attention to. That is the fuel supply of the airship. Without sufficient fuel, our airship cannot fly. We must solve the fuel problem." Zhang

Liang noticed the limiting factors of the fuel issue. On the one hand, the South Korean Navy requires a large amount of coal fuel, and the use of the air force requires the use of a large amount of fuel.

"Well, I remembered. There is one thing that we should have noticed. That is that there is a large amount of oil resources on our Zhangyi Island in Nanyang. We can mine them there. With such oil resources." Han

Shu said.

"What the king said is true, but in terms of development, we lack such an oil company and must join forces with the people of Qin." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah. I understand. Let's do this together with them." Han Shu decided.

In Xinshidu, Dawan State, the sound of "cracking" firecrackers kept coming, and a bank opened. But this bank was very different. It was the Bank of Qin and the Dawan government jointly established a joint central bank.

The Bank of Qin provided a part of the gold as the gold reserve of the United Central Bank. The share distribution between the Dawan government and the Bank of Qin was four to six, but the Dawan government quickly did something.

"We need this gold and paper money. I also know that these paper money are very useful, but if you think about it, they are the army and soldiers. It is difficult for them to believe those valuable pieces of paper." Chen Muge said.

"But doing this will seriously affect our gold reserves. In that case, it will be difficult for banknotes without gold reserves to maintain their value." Li Guang said.

"I know this, and I also know that you mean well." Chen Muge said.

"But it seems that we can't do this yet. I think you know that the soldiers in the army are a bunch of rough guys. What I promised them was gold coins. If there are no gold coins, if we use paper money, will you let our paper money appear?"

Are the Yuezhi people in that situation?" Chen Muge said.

"This, I understand." Li Guang nodded and said.

"Gold coins are gold coins. Fortunately, we have a lot of gold. Today we use this gold to make gold coins and distribute them. In the future, we will mine gold, which will be good for us. That's it." Chen Muge said.

.

The military needs a large amount of gold coins, and the demand for such gold coins is mainly concentrated on military salaries. But in this way, gold reserves will be used, and the depreciation problem of paper currency will become very big. But the military requirements, Chen Muge simply

This situation cannot be changed.

Qin State, General Staff.

"The Koreans launched some airships against the Zhao people. It is said that the Yuezhi people and the Saisi people also launched some warships. In this way, the Korean military can be regarded as a draw." Yang Duanhe said.

"Well, we also have this kind of thing, but I'm still worried." Wang Jian said.

"I heard that the Dawan people themselves also want to establish an air force. They have already sent a number of airships to us. In addition, they have also sent a number of airships to the Zhao people. This is a kind of arms stimulation." Wang Jian said.

"This also shows one thing, that is, their weapons manufacturing capabilities have caught up with ours. The threat from our arms production has become great." Yang Duanhe said worriedly.

"Yes. I am also worried about this problem, but the Prime Minister does not seem to be worried at all. He thinks that this can stimulate our military production, but a lot of our technology is being leaked. Where does such technology accumulation start?"

Wang Jian said worriedly.

"The most important thing is that Qin's war mobilization capability has become very high, and its war potential has become very large. But the problem is, we can still solve such a thing." Wang Jian said.

"Maybe this is competition in the arms trade. It's like some companies. Only by constantly launching new products can we stay advanced and maintain our advanced nature. But at present, our technology is indeed far behind.

, we should seriously reflect on it." Yang Duanhe said.

"Yeah. So, we still have to do this kind of thing. After all, this is a kind of technological progress, and technological progress is a kind of competition." Wang Jian nodded.

As the arms trade of Qin State expanded, so did the arms trade of South Korea and Zhao State. This shows that the military technology of Zhao State and South Korea has improved a lot. Otherwise, they would not export some military weapons, but these

Military weapons posed a certain threat to Qin's arms trade. From a military perspective, Wang Jian felt that such a threat should solve such a problem.

But this kind of arms trade itself cannot be solved. Shang Wen believes that this is of great benefit to Qin. This can greatly stimulate Qin's technological progress. Without competition, Qin's technological development will have great consequences.

Laxity, with such laziness, it is naturally impossible to develop.

But in fact, this is a consequence of technological transfer. The Qin State could produce such weapons before. After transferring some industries, various countries also have such technical capabilities. In their view, weapons are just a special kind.

It's just a technical product. And there is a huge hard demand for such weapons. As long as there is a war, the demand for weapons will become very large. With such a large demand, they will naturally develop their military industry rapidly.

With the advent of enterprises, the arms trade will naturally rise. This is just a trend of the times.
