The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Qinguo Alliance Investment Bank, in the investment project hall of Xinzheng Branch, South Korea.

"Can you tell me, how do you confirm that there is oil in Saisi?" a project manager asked curiously. Regarding this project, the Bank of Korea is willing but unable. At the same time, they believe that this project has great risks.

Because the upfront investment is huge, what if the oil cannot be produced? All the investment will be in vain. In that case, it will be a huge disaster for them. Therefore, the Bank of Korea decided to avoid this

Because of the risks, they rejected Zhang You's project. After looking for most Korean banks, Zhang You decided to go to Qin Investment Bank because Qin Investment Bank was biased towards risks. In their view, high-risk projects

There is great investment value in it. Although the risk is high, the later returns are also very generous. This makes investment banks very interested. In their opinion, they should do this.

"Well, it's very simple, a sentence in the newspaper." Zhang You nodded and said.

"One sentence?" the project manager asked very strangely. Obviously, he did not expect that the other party's answer was so simple. In just one sentence, he dared to conclude that there was oil there. This was far beyond his expectation.

"Yes, in a word, they said that the Saisi people burned a large amount of crude oil to produce smoke and burned a large amount of crude oil. According to my speculation, the Saisi people did not have mature exploration equipment or mature drilling equipment at all.

, but they still have a lot of oil, which shows that these oil

They are all shallow. Since there is shallow oil, there is usually a layer of oil underneath, and the oil reserves of that layer are larger than the oil reserves of the shallow layer. Therefore, I dare to conclude that,

There must be a large amount of rich oil resources in the local area waiting for us to develop." Zhang You said.

"I read in your project that you worked as an oil developer for a long time?" the project manager asked.

"Yes, I invested in Jiaozhou, but unfortunately, it failed." Zhang You said sincerely. He knew that the Bank of Qin would investigate, and he was unwilling to hide anything, because it would be fruitless.

"Well, I want to know why it failed. Or, in other words, what do you think is the reason for your failure?" The project manager asked this question with great interest. After all, he wanted to know how the other party failed.

This is important.

"Land, oil, how should I say, oil resources are under the land. No one can be sure how much oil resources there are. At that time, I had very little funds and could only buy a very cheap piece of land. What was bad was that the land was just right.

It is a slope, and later the Qi people on the opposite side also developed it.

Oil, they are downstream, that is to say, the oil under the slope has been drained by them. I have no choice but to go bankrupt. Because I can't open up that piece of oil land resources. It's terrible. But I can only say,

My luck has reached that point." Zhang You said helplessly.

"Well. It seems that you are not lucky, but what do you plan to do this time?" The project manager asked immediately. He wanted to know what the other party thought.

"If more funds can be provided, I will take down all the local places that may produce oil. I know that there is a war there, but it is because of the war that all the land will be cheaper and the opportunities there will be greater.

If Jiaozhou had been at war, the situation might have been better, because war would destroy all order and the land would become worthless.

No one wants to buy land on the battlefield. This is what I think. Although it is far away, it is actually very close to us. The most important thing is that there is cheap ship transportation and the development prospects of oil resources are very good.

Okay." Zhang You said. The project manager nodded. Regarding petroleum resources, what he knew was that the Petroleum Association of Qin State, a non-governmental organization, has

They were very dissatisfied with Qin's petroleum products. They decided to increase the value of refined oil again. For example, high-octane gasoline appeared. This kind of refined oil is of great significance to aviation. This technology is only available in Qin.

Yes, if Qin exports this kind of refined oil in large quantities, it will make a lot of profits, because countries have noticed the value of the use of internal combustion engines, and the volume

Smaller and more efficient than steam engines. Most importantly, only a few countries have mastered this technology, and their demand for refined oil has also become greater. However, oil resources are extremely scarce, and Qin has expanded westward greatly.

Partly because of oil, after Alliance Investment Bank heard about this project, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they felt that they should give this unlucky man a chance.

"We are very interested in your project, but we need to investigate it, or in other words, we need to carefully consider it. Can you give us some time?" The project manager quickly wrote something and then asked.

"Well, sure, I just don't have anything to do. If you need it, I can make a report. As long as you can invest, you can do anything." The other person wrote like this.

"Well. Of course this is possible. Can you please write down your contact address and phone number? We'd better be able to contact you at any time. This project may get a lot of attention." The other party said.

"Then, that's great." Zhang You was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a big opportunity would be given to him.

In Tocharo, Wang Ben's headquarters. Wang Ben handed a report to his staff officer.

"Look, if it were you, what would you do?" Wang Ben asked his staff.

"Sir, this problem is very complicated. Without more troops, the enemy is scattered, and their tactics are extremely flexible, it will be difficult to fight such a war. There are not many logistical supplies.

The terrain is unfamiliar, and almost all unfavorable conditions are concentrated here, the worst of which is." The staff officer looked at the report and shook his head.

"What is it?" Wang Ben asked his staff.

"We can't tell the difference between Parthians and Persians. We don't know whether they are enemies or friends. In the past, we could directly expel them or kill them. But the problem is that there are Parthians in our team, and we don't know how to do it at all."

It is possible to do this, and if we do this, those people will definitely rise up against us first, which makes our operations extremely complicated." said the staff officer.

"Yes, you are right. Not only that, but even Qin will suffer a great setback in diplomacy and public opinion. This is something that the staff is trying to avoid. Once such a thing happens, what will we do?

It can’t be done either.” Wang Ben said.

"But there are some things we still need to do, that is, defeat the opponent and then enter the opponent's territory, especially the area leading to the north. We must do this well." Wang Ben said.

"But sir, we have to consider the reports from the front line. If we launch an attack rashly or use relevant measures to suppress it, the results will be very bad. We must not allow such a thing to happen." Staff Officer.

They are very worried about failure. Once they fail, Qin will face an extremely difficult situation. They may be paused on the border of Parthia and Persia for a long time, which will greatly consume Qin's patience in expanding westward.

"I know this, but I have thought of some good ways." Wang Ben said at this time.

"Since the opponent is a guerrilla, or in other words, their tactics are extremely dispersed and their combat forces are dispersed, why don't we adopt the same tactics to suppress them. For example, we can use the combat method of assault squads to divide different operations

Region, adopt different combat postures, and then fight with the Parthians. In this way, we will spend the least amount of troops and not need many supplies. This will be a great boost for us." Wang

Ben said.

"Sir, this method is very good. If this continues, our military strength will be greatly reduced. However, sir, there is another problem, and that is population. Based on our past experience in dealing with guerrilla operations, we often adopt

extremely bloody measures to solve those population problems, we are not

Killing them on a large scale means gathering them together. The situation we encounter now is the same as the situation we encountered in the Western Region. Otherwise, after we clean up, we will encounter the same problem. That way

If so, our situation will become very passive." said the staff officer.

"Well, you're right. If we don't solve these troublesome problems, we will still encounter such resistance. Originally thought to be a safe zone, we will encounter a huge ambush. In that case, our chance of loss will become

It’s amazing, and it’s also extremely detrimental to our logistical supplies.” Wang Ben said.

"Sir, our previous solution was to massacre, but obviously it can't be carried out here. I think the only solution is concentration camps. This is the best solution. We kill everything we can find and cannot concentrate on it.

Gather all the people, gather them all, as long as there are no people, all problems can be easily solved." The staff officer said.

"In this case, a lot of barbed wire will be needed." Wang Ben said with a smile.

"But sir, if we do this, we can indeed solve many problems. Moreover, we can also focus on solving their food shortage problem. This is the best solution. Otherwise, we will kill many people."

The staff officer said.

"That's right. Just follow your method. Concentration camp. This is a good name. It seems that we have already had such a method before. But you can also write down my method and report it to the staff for their approval. For

At the same time, we must combine reconnaissance intelligence and provide faster radio equipment for communications." Wang Ben said.

"Yes, sir, I will record all of this." the staff officer said. Although the war in Parthia became extremely complicated, or because the guerrilla warfare became impossible to determine, this made the war enter a long delay and consumption.

Go into battle. However, there are always more solutions than problems. As for Qin,

They already had combat experience in this area, probably because they were suddenly accustomed to using large-scale regiment combat solutions to fight wars. Suddenly facing such a war made them a little unprepared, but soon the Qin army

Just thinking about it, this is very simple for them.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

"Look, the local Korean congressman has agreed to Meng La's plan, but a question has been raised, which makes us very embarrassed." Han Shu shook her head helplessly.

"They require a large amount of construction materials, unfavorable steel, cement, etc., wood. We can transport these materials on a large scale. However, the problem is that in that case, there will be huge transportation costs. Although it can stimulate us to carry out large-scale

Production, but that would take too long. Of course we can also do this." Han Shu said.

"However, it is best to manufacture things like cement locally, because this thing cannot be transported over long distances, because in that case, it will cost a lot of transportation costs." Han Shu said.

"Well, the king is right to do this." Zhang Liang thought this was right and there was nothing wrong with it.

"But the problem is, coal, this requires high coal resources, but if you look at the Mongla region, there is no such resource at all, and we need to transport it from the mainland. In that case, our situation will become very serious.

Embarrassing, because the price of coal itself is not

It is very high. If you add the transportation costs, my God, the price of cement will greatly exceed the price of coal and lime. In that case, there will be no meaning. It is better to use some stones to pave the road. That is better than using

It is much better to build with cement," Han Shu said.

"This." Zhang Liang did not expect to encounter such a problem, energy, this is an energy problem.

"This." Zhang Liang also felt very embarrassed, because there were only a few places that could produce coal.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent telegram from Chu." At this time, a chamberlain anxiously delivered a telegram to Han Shu's desk.

"Oh. I understand. Go down." Han Shu opened it and looked over quickly.

"Haha. Take a look. It's coming as soon as it comes." Han Shu said and handed the telegram to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang received the telegram in confusion. It seemed that the telegram was originally a request from Chu State to South Korea to consume part of its coal resources. Their prices would be much lower and transportation costs would be reduced, as long as South Korea could increase sales.

"This is great. But there are not many places where we need such coal." Zhang Liang was also in a dilemma at this time. After all, he knew that a large amount of coal was mainly concentrated in steam engines, especially boiler equipment. Although the navy consumes

It will be a lot, but it won't give a big boost to sales.

"I know what you are worried about. You are worried that we do not have so many steam engines. I took a look and found that we can move a large number of steam engine spinning machines here and let them build textile factories here. In this way, we can greatly

It consumes some coal resources. But when it comes to cotton, I think we can also imitate what Chu State did." At this time, Han Shu suddenly remembered something else.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Zhang Liang recorded at this time.

"It's cotton. Since the Chu people can build a rice futures center, we can also build a sugar or cotton futures center. In this case, our needs will become simpler. You have also noticed. In the Central Plains region, many

Food is not grown in this place because the price of food is too low and it can easily hurt people. So they

Plant a large number of cash crops, such as cotton. According to the information I know, planters in many places plan to plant cotton, because cotton can be exchanged for a large amount of high prices. In that case, they can get more money.

With this kind of money, they can buy more food because food is cheap. In addition to these

In addition, there is white sugar. According to what I know, some sugar factories have appeared in Qingcheng. They can process cane sugar. In that case, the demand for sugar will become extremely large. Under such circumstances

, we can build cotton and sugar. You know, the rice of the Chu people greatly stimulated the emergence of speculation. I

We can also do this to a great extent. In this case, our cotton textile will enter a whole new level. You must know that we need a lot of raw materials. If the price of raw materials increases, they will plant cotton on a large scale, and we will

You can control cotton and sugar, in that case. Haha." Han Shu almost laughed.

"This." Zhang Liang could only write down how to do it specifically. Zhang Liang thought that he should think about it. With the demand for various varieties, such as oil, cotton, sugar, wheat, rice, in addition to coal, coke, glass and

The demand for various chemical industrial products has become greater and greater, bulk transactions have become the norm, and commercial activities have become more and more demanding. That’s why wheat appeared.

, rice, and Qin also controlled part of the white sugar, but cotton futures have not officially become a trading variety. However, South Korea has begun to have extremely huge demand for this kind of demand, because they have a complete textile industry and they need a large amount of

The cotton production is directly related to their industry, so Han Shu did this because they need cotton.

"We need a lot of cotton. Without cotton, our textile industry will stagnate. In that case, we will not be able to compete with Chu State with the finished cotton textile products in our hands. In that case, South Korea will be at an economic disadvantage.

Chu State has silk, and our cotton industry must also start as soon as possible." Han Shu said. Zhang Liang recorded.
