Chapter 377 New Infrastructure Task, Distant Scouting (Ch 377)

“But doing so may only attract the attention of enemy countries.”
Wang Qianhe suddenly spoke.
Previously, Chen Huaixin had always advocated the strategy of luring the enemy into a trap without making it public.
Although the army was established, it was done in secret.
Even when developing weapons, these high-tech and lethal equipment are considered a national policy that is not disclosed to the public.
But if we were to transport weapons and food to the border troops and start preparing to stockpile troops, then we would undoubtedly be preparing to go to war with foreign countries and resist military action.
This will inevitably alarm the small countries in Yanbian.
By the time the news is passed back with the caravan, Rome and Parthia will certainly be on guard.
They may even bring forward their military cooperation plans.
Isn’t this contrary to the original national policy?
“No, Prime Minister Wang is worrying too much.”
“That’s the real preemptive strike.”
“It is said that helping the superior and not the inferior, and leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses, this is the basic situation that Yuguo is currently showing.”
Liu Yuntang spoke.
As the Minister of War, he had also helped Ji Qingluo to suppress some rebellions by bandits in the past.
Although there are other generals in the court, he is the only one who can mobilize troops at the critical moment and make plans for fighting on the battlefield.
This is also the reason why my position has been the most secure in recent years.
“The prime minister should be able to see clearly.”
“There is a lot to this!”
“Rome and Parthia have colluded to set up a trade war. If they are ready to send troops one day, then Yuguo may be passive.”
“Given Chen Huaixin’s character, how could he tolerate this happening?”
This is indeed the case.
Wang Qianhe and other court officials nodded.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and caused chaos in the world, Chen Huaixin was a master at preparing for a rainy day. He made preparations in advance and distributed food to the people, which enabled him to be successful in conquering cities and territories later on.
Now that he sits on the throne and controls the world, his thinking is still as quick as it was back then.
“So he should do this for the empires to see.”
“If they believe it and start the war early, it will be difficult to succeed in such a rush.”
“If they don’t believe it and continue to wait, they will be truly waiting for death. When the military configuration within Yu Kingdom reaches a point where it can completely become an enemy of the world, once they start a war, they will be courting their own destruction.”
Everyone who heard this was impressed.
Although Liu Yuntang did not have a deep understanding of the current military and political situation in Chengguo, he still had a unique insight in analyzing the soldiers.
…
【The border of Yu country. 】
[“Everyone, His Majesty has issued a secret order. Begin preparations for battle on all fronts and open up new border fortresses.”]
【With the order from the general who guards the border, the whole army began to stir. 】
[They were not eager to fight, but they were waiting for the opportunity to make achievements. ]
[They had previously learned about what was happening in Chang’an through newspapers and various letters sent to the outside world, especially the foreign trade war and the political struggles involving the exchange of spies.]
【So some veterans have already anticipated that war may not be far away. 】
[This time their new equipment arrived with food and fodder. ]
[According to the calculations of the quartermaster and the people who escorted the grain and grass, this configuration is enough to deal with emergencies for at least the next year. ]
【Everyone’s blood was boiling and their hearts were surging.】
【But I didn’t expect that new tasks would come along with it. 】
[New fortresses were built to supplement the Great Wall border defenses.]
[Artillery support, build bunkers and beacon towers. ]
[Organize the frontier positions and fortifications in advance, and use the highest-quality materials. The imperial city will deliver them later. ]
[“What’s going on? Such a big scene.”]
[“This is too outrageous.”]
[“Are we going to war? What do you mean by the highest-grade materials?”]
[Just as they were wondering, everything on the training ground had been transported here.]
[Fire gun, fully equipped with ammunition. 】
[There are also some that use high-explosive crossbows built into the mechanism. ]
[Gunpowder and some explosive materials have been loaded and equipped. It is obvious that the Ministry of Industry has prepared the finished products for them.]
[There are also many cannons, of various calibers, that can be moved, that can turn and fire from the air, that can be towed and moved without the need for a rack, and that can be hidden under trenches and bunkers.]
[“This is too exaggerated.”]
[Several adjutants sighed in unison.]
[With the current weapon configuration, it would not be a problem to even defeat some small countries along the Yanbian border. ]
[However, one of the most important instructions in Chen Huaixin’s imperial edict is…]
【Don’t cause trouble.】
[That is to say, they can only deploy defenses and cannot make any other arrangements. This is also a bit strange. ]
[But now that these weapons are here, we have the confidence. ]
[Some of them had experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion in those days, and Chen Huaixin swept across the four directions as a heavenly master, and later issued these extremely powerful weapons in the country. ]
[It’s just that because the Dayu Research Institute needed to be improved later, the border troops still don’t have many complete sets of equipment. ]
[What was transported here this time happened to be the violent weapon they most desired. ]
[“One of His Majesty’s requests is to build new battlefield fortresses and border defense fortresses. The Great Wall also needs to be reinforced and repaired. It seems that this is not a small project.”]
[“No problem!”]
[“For military merit, for the peace and stability of Chang’an!”]
[Everyone was excited for a moment, and began to configure the next task deployment according to the things sent by Chen Huaixin. ]
[Along with the food and weapons, there were also steel and tons of ironware, including some raw materials that had not yet been cut and assembled, and even purified elemental ingredients such as aluminum and tin. In short, everything that could be used for military construction was delivered.]
[An infrastructure frenzy has begun. ]
[From beacon towers to basic bunkers and high fortifications, to checkpoints up and down the mountains, everything is being built in an orderly manner.]
[June, the 17th year of Jingping.]
【The weather has started to get hot.】
[The camel caravan coming along the river is approaching the border fortress of Yu State. ]
[They seemed to be carrying a lot of goods, but in fact, there were scouts sent by Rome hidden among them. ]
【There has been no further movement since the trade war ended last time. 】
[Although a lot of compensation was paid, the normal trading route was opened again. ]
【But such peaceful days are not the norm. 】
[Some Roman executives and high-ranking dukes proposed the need to monitor the Yu Kingdom. ]
[Even if we can no longer send out large numbers of spies and secret agents, we should still send out scouts to conduct basic intelligence gathering.]
【Beware of special military actions by the Yu Kingdom. 】
[The mission of these scouts is to observe whether there is any new movement at the border and search for intelligence without disturbing anyone.]
