"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on!" Qi Qingtian asked.

"That's right, look at this!"

Zhao Wen said as he took out a reduced version of the world map from his arms. This world map was also drawn by Zhao Wen a long time ago.

Zhao Wen laid the map flat on the table. Qi Qingtian looked at Zhao Wen in confusion. "Your Majesty, I don't know what this is for?"

Zhao Wen pointed to the map on the table and said: "You must also know this map, it is a world map.

This is our place, this is the Savile Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

The place where these two empires are located can be called the Middle East.

The products here are very rich. There is a lot of oil under the ground in the Middle East.

You must already know the uses of oil..."

Zhao Wenzhen explained these things to Qi Qingtian seriously.

Qi Qingtian stood in front of the map with a serious look on his face.

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, Qi Qingtian started thinking.

Seven or eight minutes later, Qi Qingtian asked: "Your Majesty, do you mean to take down this place?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. I want to take down these places." Zhao Wen's eyes were full of fire.

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear. We have a lot of oil here. Why do we have to go so far away to get oil?

Moreover, this Ottoman Empire is really far away from us. Who knows what kind of place it is? What if it is some kind of barbaric land?"

Qi Qingtian looked at Zhao Wen solemnly. To him, these places were just wild lands. Where could the Central Plains be better?

Even if we get the oil, there is no need to go so far away for remediation.

No matter how you say it, it’s a bit unrealistic!

Zhao Wen saw Qi Qingtian's expression in his eyes. Without even thinking, Zhao Wen had already guessed what Qi Qingtian was thinking.

"I know what you are thinking. Maybe in your opinion, these places are just wild places.

You are right, our country does have oil, but our country's oil is too little.

In the future, if industry becomes more developed, the oil our country mines will simply not be enough.

The Middle East is very rich in oil reserves.

Let me tell you this, if you dig a hole in the ground, there will be a lot of oil."

Zhao Wen didn't have any impatience and explained to Qi Qingtian seriously.

Zhao Wen can also understand why Qi Qingtian thinks this way.

"Your Majesty, is this oil really so important? How did your Majesty know that there will be a lot of oil in the Middle East?!" Qi Qingtian was still hesitant.

"How do I know? Of course I know the truth. If I say it is here, it is here!"

Zhao Wen's words immediately made Qi Qingtian understand.

Qi Qingtian suddenly thought of Zhao Wen's origin. In an instant, Qi Qingtian no longer doubted Zhao Wen on this matter.

"But Your Majesty, troops are still being deployed in the southwest. If there is a two-front war, I'm afraid the logistics will be under great pressure!" Qi Qingtian looked embarrassed.

"I know that I don't plan to start a war on two fronts. After Zhao Daniu and the others completely capture Annan, I plan to transfer them back.

The naval power in my hands is already very strong, and the construction of iron-clad ships has begun. Even if the iron-clad ships cannot be built for a while, I will still be invincible on the sea with those traditional warships.

Therefore, I plan to send troops and horses to the Saville Empire via sea route. As for logistical supplies, I have my own way, and it doesn’t cost any money!”

Zhao Wen knocked on the table with a confident look on his face.

Qi Qingtian was even more puzzled. How far was it from here to the Saville Empire? How could supplies cost nothing?

"I wonder what your Majesty's solution is?" Qi Qingtian asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Of course I have a way, but the time has not come yet, so I can't tell you yet.

This is what I came here for today. After I leave, you can take these people from the Council to discuss this matter!"

Zhao Wen stood up and walked outside as he spoke.

Qi Qingtian hurriedly followed Zhao Wen and sent Zhao Wen out of the military academy.

After walking out of the Military Academy, Zhao Wen walked towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Commerce.

The Ministry of Commerce is in charge of all commercial affairs around the world. After Zhao Wen established the Ministry of Commerce, all businessmen around the world must register.

Therefore, the Ministry of Commerce has a list of businessmen from all over the world.

Zhao Wen's way of not spending money is very simple, that is to mobilize businessmen.

Back then, Zheng Yiguan relied on merchants to transport rubber and other materials back from the Americas. This time, Zhao Wen wanted to let these merchants use their remaining energy.

Businessmen are profit-seeking. As long as they can make a profit, they will dare to touch it even if it means going through mountains of swords and fire.

By then, if the Savile Empire and the Ottoman Empire are really captured, these businessmen will definitely be more excited than Zhao Wen.

In fact, Zhao Wen also thought of a way, which was to issue war bonds.

However, this method is too risky, and Zhao Wen dare not take it lightly.

War bonds are debt securities issued by governments to raise military spending during wartime.

If the war bond method is used, Zhao Wen may not spend a penny to win over the Savile Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

However, after the war is won, the bonds in the hands of those who have purchased war bonds will be very valuable.

It may not matter once or twice, but I am afraid that after tasting this sweetness, the people will lose control and become fanatical about war bonds. Coerced into this, they will become fanatical about war.
