The headquarters of the RB garrison was located next to the docks, and the soldiers patrolling there could be seen around the newly built industrial area.

"These RB people ... Absolute disadvantage in firepower,It's still possible to do this.。。。 It is unlikely that the intelligence department of the RB would not know the details of my troops. ”

At least in Asia, there is no intelligence service that can be compared to the intelligence services of the RB ... Although Leshan has also established a black and white intelligence force, not only has its own intelligence personnel, but also has the help of provincial and even inter-provincial gangsters such as the Pao Gehui... But it is still not possible to completely eliminate RB's intelligence officers. So there's nothing wrong with getting this kind of information that isn't highly confidential.

"RB's intelligence agency is absolutely aware of the detailed troop allocation, this month, Leshan caught two RB spies in the army, this is the disadvantage of expanding the army too quickly... There is no way to review the source in detail at all. ”

The expansion of a force of more than 20,000 people to 140,000 people (with logistics) in one month is not just a problem caused by the easy leakage of information.

But for the rain spirit, who is seriously lacking in troops, what better way can there be.

"It's okay, as long as it can be used. Alas, the equipment of the army... It's really unpleasant.。。。 The First Army's supplies have been hovering between 80 and 90 percent. That is, the "old-fashioned" troops of the First Division are more than 90 percent of the supplies. “

With weapons, the soldiers can at least not be defeated in positional warfare... But if you want to attack, it's really not so convenient...

"The Army's supporting equipment is not a difficult task for a country, but we... Not now, we're just businessmen. There are many tools that seem simple at the national level. So, it's all up to us to develop all these things, and that's going to be very difficult. ”

The most important and difficult rifles, artillery, and ammunition have long been able to produce themselves, but many things that soldiers have to support are still not able to be produced... Bullet packs, carrying gear, these things have been done, but backpacks, water bottles, sapper shovels, these seemingly simple things, still haven't started production.

The technical department of the textile mill has researched the suitable backpack, the fabric of the material package, and it will soon be put into production... But although the sapper shovel, the steel needed for the kettle, can be produced very early. Due to the problem of production capacity, even by the end of 1908, the problem remained unresolved.

There is no shortage of tinplate needed for kettles, and if you want to produce it, you can produce tinplate that meets your needs at any time... The same is true for the special steel needed for sapper shovels... But the problem is that there are no spare machines to serve these things... 、

Wait until the machine tool is produced, and then produce these things... It is estimated that it will be until the summer of 1909.

"That's why our troops can't fight in the field...

About this point in the field. Yu Ling is really thinking too much, marching in the wilderness

"Field ... What are you thinking? If you fight now ... Your bullet factory can only produce two hundred thousand rounds of ammunition per day, as for artillery shells. Hehe.. Really fighting, how long do you think your logistics can last... ”

The output of 200,000 rounds of ammunition a day is really a bit bleak, and for a combat unit close to 100,000, the ammunition needed for a large-scale battle is a terrifying number, and it is very likely that the annual output of the bullet factory will be completely exhausted.

The output of artillery shells is even more bleak, only 2,000 rounds of 75mm shells and 500 rounds of 105mm shells can be produced in a day, and if this output is all the time, it will never be possible for artillery to squander shells as wantonly in live ammunition exercises. This is undoubtedly bad news for the attacking infantry... This means that many times, human lives have to be used to fill tactical gaps.

"Moreover, our troops, artillery equipment has a high proportion, which is a serious test of logistics. Let's put it this way, if we don't have more than 150,000 pack horses, the troops basically don't have the basic combat capability you imagined. You know, our artillery is not the kind of light artillery that can be carried by infantry... ”

Cleya's words made Yu Ling's face very ugly, but this is indeed the truth, Yu Ling's logistics. Now it's basically being maintained with manpower.。。 She already has some understanding of what the so-called war won by cart push in the Huaihai Battle is... Crowd transportation... It is indeed a feasible approach. But for Yu Ling, this method must not be adopted, and the future enemy will definitely not be just these warlords... Each division of the Great Powers had thousands of pack horses... It's really enviable...

The breeding and acquisition of pack horses, donkeys, and mules must begin, otherwise the troops will not even have the means of transport necessary for wartime. This will shine into the fact that both strategically and tactically, Yuling's troops will be an absolute disadvantage (except for the Qing army...). Their logistics ... ）

The information in front of me shows that the total number of mules and horses killed in the First World War exceeded eight million, and this is only the dead mules and horses. You can tell the high and the low at once...

"Write a farming plan about this. And if there is any information in our database that can increase the production capacity of mules and horses, etc., write it out together. ”

I'm so tired... In addition to not feeling tired when researching, doing anything else, Yu Ling will feel very tired... Especially these days Claya has restricted her freedom, and she is becoming less and less motivated to do things...

Therefore, this kind of "trivial matter" related to the fate of his army is really better handed over to Claya, who is an artificial intelligence.

"Information or something, it's just the technology of the First World War or so, can you count on their biological level? The best way I've calculated is to breed our horse farms... Now in the absence of access to the sea, these are unrealistic, the purchase and breeding of private mules and horses is the most important. ”

Yu Ling didn't answer again, just leaned quietly on his wheelchair in a daze... I've gotten used to life in a wheelchair these days...
