Chapter 4796 - Conditions of aid for the Seth
Qin State, Xianyang. Prime Minister’s House.
“It seems we have to make concessions.” Li Si said helplessly.
There is no way, Zhao’s rubber import price has risen a lot. Qin has rubber futures. Following this price has also risen a lot. In order to curb speculation, Li Si had to order the closure of the trade of this product. This caused The market rebounded greatly. Investors are extremely disgusted, because this is the second time Li Si has interfered in the market. After the first, second, and third time, investors submitted many dissatisfied protests, and the entire securities association fell into a huge passive state.
But Li Si was not moved at all. Li Si is very disgusted with financial speculation. He believes that financial investment opportunities destroy everything. In such a situation, many of their things are difficult to deal with. In short, in such a situation, most of the things will be in a very unfavorable situation.
But Li Si doesn’t care, speculative chaos is far better than national chaos.
“This, it should be, Prime Minister.” The assistant said helplessly. The increase in rubber prices is an important factor that South Korea believes threatens the cooperation of Qin people.
“Actually, Prime Minister, I think that both sides need what they need. The Koreans have their own resource advantages, but they lack technology, and we also have technology, but they lack the necessary resources. If we start some cooperation, we There may be a win-win situation for both parties, which is also a favorable situation.” The assistant said. Li Si just nodded.
In fact, this is equivalent to vetoing some of his own views, because Li Si returned from a busy lap and returned to the original point of Shangwen’s original policy formulation. This shows what the problem is, that is, Li Si himself did something wrong.
Li Si was reflecting, he was thinking about what he had done wrong. Obviously, Shang Wen looked more long-term than Li Si. It seems that he did something wrong, otherwise, he himself would not suffer such unfavorable treatment. When encountering such a thing, he himself felt very difficult to deal with.
Perhaps this is related to Li Si’s dignity and face, but to Li Si, all of this is nothing. Under such a situation, many of their things are actually changing to a greater extent. If such a situation can be changed more, they will not encounter such things to solve such problems.
Li Si was caught in a certain contradiction, but it was only a matter of face. Such a situation would only make their situation more unfavorable. To change some of these situations, their only way is to accept more favorable status quo.
The status quo is that they must reach an agreement on technical cooperation with the Koreans.
State of Zhao, Handan, Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Zhao Jia sat in the conference room. The small cabinet meeting had just ended. There was no result. They just asked the Minister of Economy to run to the Koreans and Chu people to negotiate, hoping to compensate the other party through other means, and then hope not to increase the rubber. Price, because it will have a great impact on Zhao’s automobile industry.
But the problem is that Chu is powerless. Because they have no way to solve such a problem. The rebellion in Yuezhou has had a great impact, and there are rebellions everywhere. It seems that only through political compromise can such a situation be avoided. Chu wants to solve such a problem through military means, but Chu is incapable because their military strength is too limited. Military expenditures cannot be increased either. Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for them to increase their military strength to fight.
Therefore, the price increase of rubber has become a foregone conclusion. Under such circumstances, solving such things will become extremely complicated, and even more difficult to solve. There is no way. The situation is like this, and they are also helpless. If you want to accomplish such a thing, sometimes, it is really helpless.
The helplessness of the people of Chu became the helplessness of the people of Zhao. Their urges were of no effect. Even the people of Zhao did not have a good way to do such things. Under such circumstances, they wanted It is really very difficult to accomplish such a thing. So how should they deal with such things? This requires them to find ways to complete some changes in the situation.
Zhao Guo hopes to use trade compensation, for example, by importing some agricultural machinery, Zhao Guo can exchange some rubber. In this way, the economy of Yuezhou can be liberated and more labor. This is also a good plan. But in practice, it is very difficult.
The nobles seemed unwilling to accept such a machine. Because this is equivalent to letting the people of Zhao Kingdom take possession of their own territory. No one wants to let something that shouldn’t be entered into his own land. This situation naturally cannot go on.
The compensation plan cannot be carried out, and other plans are not attractive. Chu State was in trouble, and Zhao State was also in trouble. Among them, the rubber was still rising. Zhao’s economy is very passive and very unfavorable.
of course. Some researchers in Zhao Guo tried to find breakthroughs in other ways, such as synthetic rubber. They found that they could extract some special substances from petroleum synthetic rubber. In this way, they would greatly meet their domestic needs. This is a very constructive thing, and this kind of thing is very innovative, if it succeeds, it can bring them great benefits, even many things greatly exceed the import itself, many scientific researchers This kind of research is actively being carried out, because this project is of great research value, and this value will meet their various needs to the greatest extent.
This may be the way for Zhao people to solve the problem, because oil is relatively cheap, and such things are extremely beneficial to them. If oil prices rise, the situation will become extremely unfavorable.
Seth country.
King Seth II was very concerned about the situation that broke out on the front lines, even though their staff had issued a comprehensive defense order. But the result was still attacked by the opponent. The three regiments arranged nearby suffered heavy losses. Moreover, the appetite of the Parthians seemed to be great. The two infantry regiments were attacking from the two wings of the battlefield. It seemed that they were going to eat three infantry regiments. way of doing.
“It seems that we must retreat. And find the right opportunity to stop. Fortunately, we still have a new line of defense in the rear. Otherwise, the whole situation will completely collapse.” Seth II is a very hardworking king. In the face of difficulties, he was able to calmly deal with such a situation.
“It seems that this is the only way to go.” Zhao Qing, a military adviser to the State of Zhao, said. He is the rank of major general, is the senior military adviser of Seth, Zhao, and he has only one purpose here, to solve the current predicament.
“The next negotiation is the key, although it is unfavorable. But we still have a second line of defense, we can talk about it. After all, what I know is that the Parthians just started to fight the Persians and then fight with us. We first stabilized , Stabilize them, and then mobilize enough forces and enough mobile forces to counterattack. This is the key. Negotiations are only delaying time.” King Seth II said.
“Well, we naturally agree to such a situation.” Zhao Qing also thinks so, because the situation is very unfavorable, the Anthians suddenly launched a sneak attack, and the Anthians suddenly changed their tactics, which made them uncomfortable. . If three infantry regiments are eaten by the opponent, the situation will be very unfavorable. Active retreat is the best way.
Seth II is definitely not a surrenderist. On the contrary, he is better at growing up in difficult situations. As long as he can grow up as a factory manager, many things will become extremely advantageous. For them, But it is very familiar. After all, his father is such a king. He can withstand the military pressure from all sides and successfully reverse the situation. His son can naturally do the same.
But negotiation is the key. They must embarrass the rest of the people, or there are some reasons that can make their situation extremely favorable and initiate a larger-scale advantage.
“Although the situation of the Persians is not optimistic, I strongly recommend using this method to deal with it. For example, we support them with some weapons so that they can launch an offensive, and at the strategic level, control this situation from another angle. In this way, our situation can become more favorable, and this situation will still greatly promote our development.” Zhao Qing suggested.
There is only one direction that can attract the attention of the rest. Persia and Qin people obviously cannot do it. There is only one way. If they can get such support, let the Persians launch some attacks to contain a part of the rest. , Their pressure will be much reduced.
“I think the Persians are not credible. Their record is very bad. It’s so bad that it’s an unmanageable situation.” The king said. For such a situation, he himself is extremely despised, even he thinks that Persia should be subjugated.
“Your Majesty, although I very much agree with your point of view, the problem is that if the Persians are annihilated by the other side, we will be the next one. From the perspective of our current military capabilities, even though we can mobilize more troops, twenty Ten thousand, three hundred thousand. Even five hundred thousand. But what the result is, what we can do is still very limited.” Zhao Qing said.
Although the Seth army is not badly equipped, in front of heavy equipment, their situation is very unfavorable. It can even be described as very bad. The reason is very simple. Many of their situations are in a very unfavorable situation. In one case, there was a big gap in their situation. If you want to defeat the Rest at once, the Seth people need time and need to re-equip some new weapons. Where do these weapons come from? There is only one answer. It can only be transported from the State of Zhao, but transport requires time and training. It takes time. What the Seth people lack is time. Under such a situation, there is only one way to delay the opponent’s time, and that is to help the **** Persians and let the Persians equip them with certain weapons and equipment to hold the opponents. It is very beneficial to the Seth people.
“But what I am worried about is that if we help these Seth people, they will fail again, thus failing to achieve such an effect.” The king said, obviously, the king is very clear about the failure record of the Persians.
“Your Majesty, the problem we are considering is not like this. We have aided some weapons and gained time, and the Persians equipped with weapons will attract the attention of the rest, because this means that the other party has the possibility of recovery. If the two sides do not reconcile the contradictions, the war will be deadlocked. In this case, they will have to stop the war with us. This is extremely beneficial to us, and even puts our situation in a very favorable situation. In the middle.” Zhao Qing said.
This is the purpose of assistance, and the purpose of assistance is to properly handle such things and make their situation much more advantageous.
“Well, we should do this for such a thing. It is also an extremely advantageous thing for us.” The king said. In the overall consideration of the situation. They really need such a direction to attract the rest of peace. If there is no such direction, their situation may become extremely uneasy. Even if it is unstable, the role of the Persians is here. As long as they achieve this goal, whether he fails or succeeds, their goal is achieved. And that is to solve such a situation.
As for the situation of the other party, the Seth people do not care, and they have no intention to care about things, because it has nothing to do with them. After all, their situation is still in an unfavorable situation.
“We also need more stable situations, such as urging the Persians to launch a counterattack, and put the other side in a very favorable situation.” The king said.
Launching an attack is far more beneficial than strengthening defense, and the opponent still hopes to launch an attack to make the opponent passive.
“Yeah. I just don’t know whether the other party can accept such a condition.” Zhao Qing said.
Because the Persians have too many new recruits, their troops have just stabilized, and launching a counterattack is undoubtedly tantamount to suicide. There are too many such things, too many. In many cases, this will put them in a very unfavorable situation, and such a situation will cause them extremely heavy losses. This is the situation.
