693武装商船

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp虽然秦国极力劝导燕国主动撤退&nbsp&nbsp以便换取战略上的主动权&nbsp&nbsp但燕国很有可能达不到&nbsp&nbsp因为燕王根本就不愿意吐出他所占领的地方&nbsp&nbsp而在秦国來看&nbsp&nbsp占领一地的意义不在于领土范围的扩大&nbsp&nbsp而在于该地的主要资源如何&nbsp&nbsp燕国这种做法显然是不可取的&nbsp&nbsp因为燕国占领的地区&nbsp&nbsp既沒有像样的资源&nbsp&nbsp也沒有什么可以为本国提供什么经济支撑的产业&nbsp&nbsp相反&nbsp&nbsp燕国却投入了大量的兵力作战

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp这种不算作战成本的战争是不可取的&nbsp&nbsp但这样的战争却实实在在的打了&nbsp&nbsp世界就是有这样难以理解的事情发生&nbsp&nbsp而尚文也不去多想&nbsp&nbsp他现在要做的就是发表一篇声明&nbsp&nbsp秦国和楚国两国之间将宣布无条件的达成停火协议

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“秦国&nbsp&nbsp和楚国在经过血与火的较量之后&nbsp&nbsp双方终于重新走上和平的道路&nbsp&nbsp战争是秦国&nbsp&nbsp和楚国&nbsp&nbsp”尚文有意的顿了顿

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“不想看到的结果&nbsp&nbsp秦楚两国还是希望和平的&nbsp&nbsp只有和平&nbsp&nbsp才能让我们两国之间交往频繁&nbsp&nbsp我们两国之间才能消除误会&nbsp&nbsp加深彼此的了解&nbsp&nbsp和平&nbsp&nbsp是符合我们两国利益要求的事情&nbsp&nbsp”尚文在发表声明当中说道&nbsp&nbsp这份说明&nbsp&nbsp已经很明确的表示出&nbsp&nbsp秦国和楚国已经不能再打仗了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp一个是原料需求大国&nbsp&nbsp一个是掌握大量廉价原材料的大国&nbsp&nbsp两个国家如果彼此矛盾激化的话&nbsp&nbsp对谁都不利&nbsp&nbsp两个国家都必须妥协才能让工厂开工&nbsp&nbsp商业活动继续&nbsp&nbsp国家才能得到赋税&nbsp&nbsp这就是经济需求

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp就在尚文发表说的时候&nbsp&nbsp越來越多的楚国商船开始朝秦国江北港口进发&nbsp&nbsp但随即另外一个问題让楚国水军感到烦恼&nbsp&nbsp那就是“水盗&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp为了彻底剿灭水患&nbsp&nbsp也的确是该剿灭水患的时候了&nbsp&nbsp因为在协议里&nbsp&nbsp楚国要保证水道的安全畅通&nbsp&nbsp不能让其袭击秦国的船只&nbsp&nbsp为此&nbsp&nbsp就需要彻底消灭水患&nbsp&nbsp打击水盗

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp为了达到彻底剿灭水患&nbsp&nbsp楚国的那些贵族大臣提议让项燕來担任长江水道总司令&nbsp&nbsp总司令这个词汇还是跟秦国学的&nbsp&nbsp为了赶时髦&nbsp&nbsp也为了给项燕扣上一顶大帽子&nbsp&nbsp所以&nbsp&nbsp他们便给了项燕这样一顶大帽子&nbsp&nbsp项燕比谁都清楚&nbsp&nbsp这些贵族们想的都是什么&nbsp&nbsp为了自己的利益&nbsp&nbsp他们什么都做的出來

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp为了安慰楚军&nbsp&nbsp他们竟然不惜出资为楚军购买军火&nbsp&nbsp这就是封口费&nbsp&nbsp如今&nbsp&nbsp水盗成为他们发财的拦路虎&nbsp&nbsp他们自然要把他们给剿灭掉

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp但项燕比谁都清楚&nbsp&nbsp水盗不是一时兴起的&nbsp&nbsp而是有极为深刻的背景原因的&nbsp&nbsp楚国曾经一段时间到处都是流民&nbsp&nbsp为什么&nbsp&nbsp就是这些贵族大肆的兼并土地&nbsp&nbsp同时逼迫其他商人搞垄断&nbsp&nbsp贵族们发财了&nbsp&nbsp可是这些楚民却快被逼死了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp剿灭&nbsp&nbsp谈何容易&nbsp&nbsp项燕看着地图久久不语&nbsp&nbsp采取强硬措施是不对的

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp而在秦国南部造船厂&nbsp&nbsp随着焊接技术的出现&nbsp&nbsp特别是一些中小型发电厂的出现&nbsp&nbsp秦国的造船厂可以生产一些承载一万石左右的中小型铁船&nbsp&nbsp这些船的造型依然带有原有船只的摸样&nbsp&nbsp不过在材质上有了更大的进步&nbsp&nbsp这就是&nbsp&nbsp钢材的使用&nbsp&nbsp钢材的使用可以让船只造的越來越大&nbsp&nbsp而木质船则因为其材质问題而无法继续深造

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp秦国的造船厂生产的第一批船只不是军用船只&nbsp&nbsp而是民用的货船&nbsp&nbsp这种货船还采用平底结构&nbsp&nbsp这种结构意味着只能才淡水河流进行航行&nbsp&nbsp而无法到海洋上进行远洋航行&nbsp&nbsp而且&nbsp&nbsp这个时候还沒有水密舱&nbsp&nbsp螺旋桨采用的材质还是钢铁&nbsp&nbsp这种材质极易磨损

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp虽然这种船还有种种的缺陷&nbsp&nbsp但毕竟是秦国第一款完全钢铁船只&nbsp&nbsp而军方订购的快艇则正在紧张的施工当中&nbsp&nbsp预计需要三个月以上的时间才能下水

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp秦国海军无法提供护航任务&nbsp&nbsp而楚国水盗问題依然沒有解决&nbsp&nbsp这个时候&nbsp&nbsp楚国船只运來大量的原材料赚大钱&nbsp&nbsp秦国商人不能等&nbsp&nbsp他们也需要积极的开展长江水运贸易&nbsp&nbsp秦国的钱不能让楚国人白白赚走

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp于是&nbsp&nbsp一些船主拿着手中的武装商船资格证为自己的货船安装武器&nbsp&nbsp他们普遍安装的都是一些机枪&nbsp&nbsp步枪&nbsp&nbsp手枪等轻武器&nbsp&nbsp为了防止夜间被袭击&nbsp&nbsp他们还为自己的船只装上了探照灯&nbsp&nbsp就这样&nbsp&nbsp秦国的第一批武装商船就这样诞生了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp至于水手问題&nbsp&nbsp秦国则就近大量招募当地的渔民充当水手&nbsp&nbsp只要经过简单的培训&nbsp&nbsp或者干脆沒有任何训练就直接登船下水

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp秦国海军则建议商船和楚国商船一同出江&nbsp&nbsp并且要求其所有船只统一编成大型船队出江&nbsp&nbsp但船只安装武器&nbsp&nbsp改造工程进度都不一样&nbsp&nbsp加上货物到达时间也不一样&nbsp&nbsp为了抢占商机&nbsp&nbsp这些武装商船&nbsp&nbsp只要一装满货物就立即出发&nbsp&nbsp根本就沒有时间去组织商船队伍

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp对于秦国海军的jǐng告&nbsp&nbsp他们则看都不看&nbsp&nbsp理都不理

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“呜呜呜&nbsp&nbsp”装在能够提供500功的蒸汽机商船出江&nbsp&nbsp他们的速度要比那些木质的楚国商船快多了&nbsp&nbsp他们相信&nbsp&nbsp他们很快就能达到楚国码头&nbsp&nbsp然后换回他们想要的东西

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp秦国的商船是满载希望出发的&nbsp&nbsp但这次航行显然要冒险的多&nbsp&nbsp因为楚国方面准备严重不足&nbsp&nbsp甚至是通信方面都根本上

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp楚国国内有沒有一条电报线&nbsp&nbsp这是两国直接沟通的最基本情况&nbsp&nbsp秦国沒有重新派出大使&nbsp&nbsp这样一來&nbsp&nbsp才楚国就沒有一名秦国官员來为秦国的利益负责&nbsp&nbsp而最重要的是&nbsp&nbsp楚国

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp楚国国内的港口设备根本跟不上秦国发展的节奏&nbsp&nbsp而且&nbsp&nbsp秦国的武装商船虽然有武器&nbsp&nbsp但停泊的港口根本就沒法提供燃料&nbsp&nbsp食物&nbsp&nbsp水的补给&nbsp&nbsp特别是停泊港口的安全问題&nbsp&nbsp楚国商船是大规模编组出江的&nbsp&nbsp而秦国的船只都是一艘接着一艘的出江&nbsp&nbsp这样小规模的出江其结果就是&nbsp&nbsp很容易被其盯上&nbsp&nbsp这样一來就很容易被楚国水盗盯上&nbsp&nbsp然后被其洗劫一空&nbsp&nbsp而秦国海军正是担心这样的事情发生&nbsp&nbsp才建议其组织编队进行出海

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp而秦国武装商船的船主看到被人大赚特赚&nbsp&nbsp同时又十分迷信武装商船的武器威力&nbsp&nbsp他们相信&nbsp&nbsp自己的武器对付那些只装备了短剑&nbsp&nbsp戈&nbsp&nbsp戟&nbsp&nbsp这样冷兵器的水盗來说&nbsp&nbsp十分够用&nbsp&nbsp而且是对其横扫

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp但秦国武装商船好像忘记了一点&nbsp&nbsp那就是盗贼从來就不是按照正常想法进行的&nbsp&nbsp他们也善于神出鬼沒&nbsp&nbsp埋伏&nbsp&nbsp打闷棍&nbsp&nbsp特别是这些只有冷兵器的水盗&nbsp&nbsp他们非常清楚&nbsp&nbsp他们只能袭击那些小的商船&nbsp&nbsp大的他们需要联合才能下手&nbsp&nbsp如果是大型的商船队&nbsp&nbsp他们根本就沒有下手的机会

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp贵族们的商船队通常是带有武器的&nbsp&nbsp而且有专门的船只&nbsp&nbsp和水军船只护航&nbsp&nbsp最重要的是&nbsp&nbsp那些小型商船也往往会跟随贵族们的大型商船行动&nbsp&nbsp这样一來&nbsp&nbsp楚国水盗的rì子也越來越难活&nbsp&nbsp而这个时候&nbsp&nbsp秦国武装商船的出现&nbsp&nbsp无疑是送上门的美餐

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp而秦国武装商船对此一无所知&nbsp&nbsp军方也沒有给出详细的参考意见什么的&nbsp&nbsp就此&nbsp&nbsp秦国武装商船就这样出江了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp对于武装商船出不出江&nbsp&nbsp尚文不关心&nbsp&nbsp因为他也无法详细的了解南方的情况&nbsp&nbsp因为就目前的情况來看已经是够他忙的了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp他忙的就是如何在不影响秦国国家军事力量的情况下&nbsp&nbsp削减军费&nbsp&nbsp同时要照顾那些军工企业&nbsp&nbsp然后把腾出來的资金投入到公共事业当中&nbsp&nbsp这些事业将极大的推动秦国经济在未來一段时间的快速发展

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp国内对削减军费&nbsp&nbsp将腾出來的资金投入到公共事业当中的态度是不统一的

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp反对者认为&nbsp&nbsp这有可能会把秦国的军事力量大规模削减&nbsp&nbsp这就造成秦国无法有效的抗衡六国&nbsp&nbsp要知道&nbsp&nbsp六国已经组织起好几次反秦联盟&nbsp&nbsp虽然秦国现在外交上有赵国&nbsp&nbsp韩国&nbsp&nbsp燕国形成联盟&nbsp&nbsp但如果突然发生意外&nbsp&nbsp秦国的国防能在一夜之间动员起來吗&nbsp&nbsp这个担忧是的确存在&nbsp&nbsp而且是很有根据的

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp而赞成者认为&nbsp&nbsp秦国的经济不仅仅是军工企业的功劳&nbsp&nbsp还有更多秦国其他工厂的功劳&nbsp&nbsp而且商业赋税已经是秦国最重要的经济來源&nbsp&nbsp如果把大量的赋税投入到公共事业当中的话&nbsp&nbsp特别是基础设施建设当中&nbsp&nbsp铁路&nbsp&nbsp高速公路&nbsp&nbsp大型水利设施&nbsp&nbsp高压电线架设之后的电普及&nbsp&nbsp这些都可以极大的促进秦国经济的快速发展&nbsp&nbsp而秦国经济快速发展之后&nbsp&nbsp将会产生大量的赋税&nbsp&nbsp只要有钱&nbsp&nbsp秦国的国防可以在一夜之间换装大量先进的武器&nbsp&nbsp而这些武器都是秦国之前沒有的&nbsp&nbsp比如&nbsp&nbsp刚刚兴起的装甲战车机动作战理论中需要的大量履带装甲战车&nbsp&nbsp这些只要有钱&nbsp&nbsp秦国都能在一夜之间生产并且装备给部队

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp两方的讲解都有道理&nbsp&nbsp但谁都有缺点&nbsp&nbsp也有优点&nbsp&nbsp这个度需要尚文自己來把握
