The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Qin State, Xianyang, and the Ministry of Navy. Most of the future events have a lot to do with maritime trade. Under such circumstances, Wang Jian gradually focused his work on the navy. After all, the competition around the navy will become more and more intense in the future.

More and more. In this regard, Qin seems to be still an outsider. Wang Jian believes that Shangwen has great foresight in major strategic decisions. He seems to have long seen the huge convenience brought by maritime development. For Qin in

Expansion on land seems less interesting.

"The Zhao people are paying attention to a focus, and this focus is Malta. What do you think of such a thing?" Wang Jian asked this question at the Navy Department like a student.

"Yes. Sir, it's Malta. According to the intelligence we collected, if the Zhao people occupy the island of Malta, they will control most of the Mediterranean area. If there is another transportation hub in the Mediterranean, Malta

The location will be very

It is very important. He will directly lead to changes in the entire strategic situation." As the Minister of the Navy began to demonstrate on the sand table, Wang Jian looked over and nodded. It seemed that Zhao Guoren had anticipated this situation. Malta Island

This is where they seize the best points.

"But it seems to me that this island is too lonely. It seems difficult for such an isolated island to complete strategic support. It must have mutual support from other regions. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to complete such a thing." Wang Jian

He looked at the sand table and said this.

"Yes, if you add the situation in Spain, I think the problem will be greatly solved, but Spain is still too far away. The best places are Italy, Sicily and other related locations, otherwise

, simply being a Malta doesn’t mean much.”

The Minister of the Navy said this about Austria. Malta is certainly very important, but at the same time he also needs support from other flanks. Without such support, it will be difficult for them to complete such a thing. In such a situation, they must need a

This method can be used to solve the problem as soon as possible.

"Yes." Wang Jian nodded and agreed with this view. However, Zhao Guoren still needs to make relevant plans himself. If their plan can be implemented accurately, the situation will become more favorable.

On the island of Malta, the armed merchant ship Takeda quickly docked. They quickly landed ashore, and there was no counterattack on the entire Maltese coast.

"Brother, there seems to be no one on this island?" Li De said to his brother worriedly.

"No matter what. Just charge forward. You'll get rich if you charge forward. Charge. Charge." Li Wu shouted frantically. The sailors from Aiji, those Carthaginians who had just taken refuge, seemed to know what was going on on this island.

The secret of wealth, their crazy attack, and the extremely heavy rapid-fire cannon were all carried by a dozen of them in a crazy charge. It seemed that the power of wealth would stimulate them very much.

"Yang" destroyer. Yang Jia stood on the deck, and they prepared to launch the final attack.

"Sir, look over there." At this moment, Zhao Hai nervously ran over with a telescope.

"What?" Yang Jia asked in confusion.

"Look at the commander over there, they seem to be our people, a group of merchants and armed forces." Zhao Hai said excitedly.

"What?" Yang Jia excitedly picked up the telescope in his hand and looked at it. This look shocked him. It was really like that. An armed merchant ship looked at it and quickly launched an attack. It seemed that they didn't care about life or death at all.

Indeed, they really don't care about life or death. What they care about is how to complete the capture order as quickly as possible and then rob their own belongings.

"I think it's 80% caused by desperadoes and businessmen who want money rather than their lives." Zhao Hai put down the telescope in his hand and said.

"These damn businessmen, they know how to create a lot of trouble for us." Yang Jia said angrily.

"Sir, it seems we have to modify our plan. You see, when they landed, they were not severely attacked. This shows that the Carthaginians have abandoned part of their defensive fortresses. If we shoot again, it will cause

A waste of artillery shells." Zhao Hai said this.

"So, what do you mean?" Yang Jia asked.

"What I mean is, hurry up and land on the beach. We launch an attack from another point. If necessary, carry out artillery attacks and occupy a place. When we encounter places that need to be attacked, we use red flares and signal flags to mark them. Currently, we only

We can take this approach. Otherwise, Carthage will see us and prepare to invade.

When they attacked, they immediately surrendered to the merchant forces, and in the end we became helpers." Zhao Hai said, in fact, the next sentence was that all the spoils became theirs. Instead, they got nothing.

It's gone. This is the most tragic part. When he thinks of this, Yang Jia also has such worries.

After all, occupying the island is an honor, but the personal benefits are theirs. If something like this really happens, their situation will be really bad.

"Quick, land, land." Yang Jia shouted loudly. The soldiers quickly entered the landing position. If they were a little slow, they would lose a lot of loot.

The fact is indeed as they expected, the Carthaginians have actually given up resistance, and more people are no longer willing to participate in such things. In their view, their situation will be subject to a larger-scale attack

Fighting with losses, under such circumstances, their fighting will only become more crazy.

The armed forces of the Zhao merchants on the Wude were progressing very smoothly. They basically did not encounter much resistance along the way. Even if they were used, they used a rapid-fire cannon. The attack was launched quickly, and the opponent's defense was instantly

After the collapse, even the Carthaginians became excited, because they were all tempted by the huge money.

The power of greed generated by money is really surprising.

Three hours later, the entire island of Malta was occupied by the Zhao people. As for the treasury, property, and various trophies, the army and merchants each took what they needed. As for who got more and who got less,

No one has a final conclusion. After all, everyone on the island is robbing like crazy. How much you rob is your own business.

The news was also quickly transmitted to the country via wireless telegraph.

Zhao Guo, Handan, Zhao Jia's office. The Minister of the Navy came in quietly, his steps were very light, because he was so excited that he almost jumped up with excitement. This was the news that the Navy Department had occupied the island of Malta and was very excited.

"Prime Minister, we have an important telegram that we need to tell you, Prime Minister." the Navy Minister said excitedly.

However, when he saw that something was wrong with the situation, the Navy Minister looked at the Economy and Finance Ministers who were sitting there. They both seemed very sad. The Navy Minister didn't know what was going on.

"Fah, what happened?" The Navy Minister's tone changed.

The Minister of Finance did not raise his head, but raised his eyelids to glance at the other party, and then stood up quietly. Zhao Jia's face was also ugly.

The Secretary of the Treasury took the Secretary of the Navy to a corner.

"King Zhao is dead," the Finance Minister said.

"Click." The Navy Minister dropped the telegram on the ground. He was also shocked when he heard such news. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing. He really didn't expect it, because it was reported in the newspaper before.

The news is that King Zhao is still in good health.

, why, how come it disappeared all of a sudden. This was so unexpected. Although King Zhao's health was much worse than before, they were still shocked when the news was actually reported. After all,

This kind of thing is far beyond their imagination.

They had been prepared before, but things happened too quickly.

"I know what you want to say, but things happened too fast, and we didn't understand the situation. When the Prime Minister heard the news, he was shocked. But now the Prime Minister is thinking about the problem, should we enter the palace? After all, this time

These are extraordinary times," the Finance Minister said.

"I understand." The Minister of the Navy nodded and said. The cabinet represents the interests of entrepreneurs and bankers, while the royal family only represents the interests of a small group of people. The palace is their base camp. Once the other party takes action,

, it is easy to take it at this time, but Mr. Zhao Jia has no reason not to go, it is easy to cause accidents.

Qin State, Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"King Zhao, unexpectedly." Shang Wen didn't know the word 殙. He didn't know what it meant, but it seemed to be a special word that had some relationship with death.

"Yes, even though something like this has happened before, it still happened too suddenly." Meng Yi said.

"It seems that we can only send a special envoy there once." Naofumi said, he just treated it as a normal diplomatic incident.

"No, what I'm worried about is, Zhao Jia, the new King Zhao must be Zhao Qian. This has a legal basis, but the question is whether King Zhao will find the other party to execute him. The stability of Zhao State is very important. After all,

They are related to the development of the situation of the Goguryeo people." Meng Yi said.

"Well, let's ask the other party to go with them. In this case, the problem may be solved." Naofumi said.

"Well, it seems that this is all we can do for now. After all, a large part of this matter still needs to be solved." Meng Yi said this.

"Should we support the State of Zhao?" Shang Wen asked, and Meng Yi nodded. A stable Zhao State that cannot act recklessly is good for the Qin State.
