The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"But if Zhao Jun is used, we will have to bear their salaries and logistics supplies, which will increase our military expenditure." Shang Wen said worriedly.

"But it can solve our Hexi Corridor defense problem. If it is good, we can. Directly use these Zhao troops to fight in the southwest direction, and completely solve the security problem of our Hexi Corridor flank." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shangwen stroked his chin and began to think.For Meng Yi's words, Shang Wen felt that it was more beneficial to Qin.Although Qin State spent a certain amount of money, it can solve the security problem, and Zhao State may also be willing to see it this way. After all, their defense expenditure is not very large.And Shangwen solved the problem in this way, which can be said to have solved a difficult problem of Zhao Guo to a large extent.

"I think this matter is good." Shangwen said.

"But." Shang Wen turned around.And Meng Yi looked at Shangwen.

"However, we can use loans or issue bonds to solve this problem. I think it may not cost a lot if possible." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"You scared me to death. I thought you wouldn't agree." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Hehe." Shang Wen smiled.

"Okay, that's it. Let's send a telegram to Zhao Guo. We only need to solve their logistics supplies and casualty expenses. Part of the salary can be considered." Shang Wen said.

"The prerequisite is that we give them a certain amount of loans, or issue some bonds." Shang Wen said.

"Okay, I'll send a telegram right now." Meng Yi nodded at this time and said.

Zhao State Handan.Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he received such a telegram.

"This Shangwen is just like a businessman." Li Muye said.

"When we send troops, we have to collect the salary ourselves, and you are only responsible for the food. Such things. The people of Qin have taken too much advantage." Li Muye said.

"Prime Minister. General Sima needs to see you urgently." Li Zuoche came in at this time and said.

"En. Just in time. Let him come in and have a look at this." Li Mu said to Li Mu at this time.

"Yes." Li Zuoche nodded.Then go out and call Sima Shang in.

After Sima Shang came in.Before responding to his own situation, Li Mu actually sent himself a telegram.

"What is this?" Sima Shang asked Li Mu.

"The telegram from Qin State. Let's take a look." Li Mu said.

"This. The Qin people are too bullying. They used our army and didn't pay them. If they don't give the money, who will work for him. How can it be possible to borrow soldiers without using things? We have to pay back the money. This Qin people I'm so mad." Seeing such a telegram, Sima Shang felt that the Qin people were really bullying people.

"What do you think?" Li Mu didn't look at Sima Shang at this time, but at Li Zuoche.

"En." Li Zuoche stroked his chin, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

"Do you need to think about it?" Sima Shang looked at Li Zuoche and said.At this time, Li Mu waved his hand to signal Sima Shang not to interrupt.

"Prime Minister, I think this matter is not good for Zhao Guo in terms of disadvantages." Li Zuoche said at this time.

"That's for sure." Sima Shang thought that Li Zuoche couldn't see anything.

"However, the subsequent loans and the issuance of Zhao Guo's bonds are of great significance to Zhao Guo. If we agree, we may get more than the military expenditure. Issuing bonds means that Zhao Guo can issue more bonds and get more money. More benefits. With these funds, Zhao Guo will have a considerable amount of financial revenue, and continue to solve Zhao's domestic problems." Li Zuoche said.

"Furthermore, Qin State's finances are currently tight. Although Qin State is issuing public utility bonds, it is impossible for Qin State to use a large amount of funds for military purposes. In this way, it is impossible for them to give a large amount of funds to Zhao State." Li Zuoche said.

"How will Qin solve our financial problems? In this way, even if there is a problem with taxation in Zhao, the finances can still get new funds." Li Mu said.

"This is far more cost-effective than military expenses." Li Mu said.

"However, don't we feel that we are at a loss?" Sima Shang said at this time.

"As generals, we all feel that we are at a loss. If so, how can we solve the problem. Our soldiers will definitely think about it." Sima Shang posed a practical problem.

"En." Li Mu nodded.

"Well, I'll send a telegram to ask the people of Qin, as long as they give us a certain amount of weapon updates, it's all right. In addition, we have to send certain officers to study in Qin. Not only to learn how they fight, but also to learn, build We have Zhao's own air force." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

"What?" Sima Shang exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.

"Air force. The Koreans have their own air force. The Qin people call it the Tianjun. I heard that the Koreans want to build their own navy. In this way, they are not the three armies of the left, center and right. They are the army, the sea and the air. Although Zhao Guo does not have a navy , but there must also be an air force. The Heavenly Army is what the people of Qin call it, but our country of Zhao also has its own sky army. If the people of Qin agree, I think we will agree to this point. Think about it, we will have our own air force in the future. An army capable of fighting in the sky." Li Mu looked at Sima Shang and said.

"That would be great." Sima Shang clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

"These grandchildren of Qin." Sima Shang cursed loudly.

"When we were at the border, the Qin people used their air superiority to suppress us. Now we have our own air force. In this way, we will not be afraid of them. As long as the Qin people let us have an air force, we will do nothing for nothing. OK." Sima Shang made up his mind.

"We still need to change our equipment. Look at our equipment. The people of Qin have already used bolt-action rifles. Their shooting speed is several times that of ours. Continuous shooting can shoot quite a lot of bullets. But look at us. We We still use the old-fashioned front-loading rifles, whose range is far inferior to the Qin army's rifles, we should equip such rifles, since we want to defend such an area, we should equip such weapons, this is not too much to go." Li Mu said.

"The general thinks more about it." Sima Shang said.

"With such weapons, we can also deal with those people from the Western Regions. But if we really want to fight like this, we will suffer more losses." Sima Shang said.

"So, now we need to replace the equipment. Qin has no money. If we give some equipment, they will still pay for it." Li Mu thought for a while.

"We can spend some money," Li Mu said.

"Just send the telegram to Qin. Let the people of Qin think about it." Li Mu said.

"En. Okay." Li Zuoche nodded.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"Did you read the telegram from Li Mu?" Shang Wen asked Meng Yi while sitting on the table.

"I see. The conditions are very generous. It's just the request to replace the equipment. There is also the matter of establishing an air force. It's a bit tricky. These are military-sensitive equipment. I think the military may not agree to this after hearing this." Meng Yi said.

"I think Zhao Jun's establishment of an air force is helpful to our aviation industry." Shang Wen said.

"Think about it, our current Celestial Army. The reason why it is stagnant is because there is no good opponent." Shang Wen said.

"So, what we need to do now is to add opponents to the Heavenly Army." Shang Wen said.

"Our aviation business can also develop here, if Zhao Jun wants to develop the aviation business," Shang Wen continued.

"They must import technology from Qin State and train a large number of personnel. They will naturally pay for these expenses. I think we should agree to this condition." Shang Wen said.

"It's just that, in this case, Qin will not be in a position of technological monopoly." Meng Yi said.

"Technopoly. Is it possible?" Shang Wen asked.

"Even if we can't come up with it, people from other countries can come up with it. Human wisdom is endless." Shang Wen said.

"We can only mobilize the enthusiasm of those people. There is still competition, so we can maintain this state. Without such a state, Qin will definitely not be strong, but will stagnate. It will be difficult to move forward. Therefore, I suggest that these technologies be given to them. .” Shang Wen said.

Shang Wen said the status quo is a fact.Qin's piston engine technology has been stuck at the same place and it is difficult to move forward because of demand.Because there is no demand, the value of research does not exist. Think about it, Qin can stay advanced as long as it retains a low-power engine technology.This is technopoly.And there is no competition of similar technologies. In this case, Qin's engine technology will stay where it is.
