After capturing Qingde City, the troops of the Quyang Prefecture Army in the Luohe Gorge chose to retreat on their own initiative in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated, which can generally mean that the Southern Navy has been successful in the Battle of Quyang Prefecture.

At least strategically successful.

Because the strategic goal of the South China Navy's march into Quyang Prefecture is not only to control Quyang Prefecture, but also to open up the Luo River waterway and link the Luo River channel with the railway networks in Quyang Prefecture, Zisheng Prefecture, and Dongding Prefecture, so as to connect the transportation and supply lines of the four prefectures.

The transportation system is divided into a single line, rather than the seemingly land being connected.

Now it is different, the main artery of the Luohe River and the railway network in Dongdingzhou, Zisheng Prefecture and Quyang Prefecture have been connected, and the temporary connecting railways between these railway networks have also been built one after another, in this case the four states will be connected as one.

Now that the strategic objective has been achieved, the South China Navy, which has been fighting continuously for nearly a year, has slowed down its pace for the first time since the Eastern Expedition Campaign.

Judging from the reaction of the northern states, in fact, the troops going north, such as the Second Army and other troops, still cannot relax, and it is best to continue to forcibly move north while the northern states have not yet completed real contacts and have not yet been equipped with large-scale rear-loading guns.

However, as much as I wanted, the reality did not allow it.

In the past nearly a year of operations, the war machine of the South China Navy has been operating at a high intensity for too long, and the front-line combatants who do not advance the line, even the logistics personnel in the rear, have been so busy that they have collapsed.

The continuous high-intensity operations have already made the combat machine of the South Korean Navy face the imminent collapse, and if it continues to fight like this, the officers and men on the front line will be able to hold on, but the transportation and many other systems in the rear will not be able to hold on.

War has never been just a matter for front-line troops.

In order to maintain high-intensity operations on the front line, the entire military and political system of the South China Navy has continued to maintain high-intensity operations.

Rank-and-file administrators were busy taking over the newly occupied territories, maintaining stability in the newly occupied territories, restoring the livelihood of the people, and obtaining as soon as possible all the resources to sustain the war.

The most important thing is that the financial system of the South China Navy has fallen into the embarrassing situation of de facto bankruptcy in September, and the reason why it is still barely maintained is that it is to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, and at the same time secretly issue bank bills on a large scale, and even the South China Navy has begun to use military tickets.

The taxes and official corporate profits that the Southern Navy can obtain in the control area are already huge consumption that cannot support the high-intensity war!

However, even if the financial system collapses, the Yugoslav Navy still cannot stop the pace of war, so what should we do? On the one hand, it relied on the functionaries of the financial system to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and at the same time, it secretly issued bank bills on a large scale and used military bills to maintain the continuous operation of the financial system on the surface.

At the same time, under Lin Ziran's instructions, the South China Navy Command set up a 'National Defense Production Mobilization Committee' to coordinate and manage the production affairs of national defense enterprises in a unified manner and ensure the supply of military supplies.

On this basis, the National Defense Production Mobilization Committee has integrated the major arsenals, related raw material supply, and machinery production enterprises, and has successively established more than a dozen head offices such as the Nanzhou Weapons Corporation, the Luohai Iron and Steel Corporation, the Nanhai Machinery Corporation, the Nanhai Mining Corporation, the Nanhai Transportation Corporation, and the Nanhai Shipbuilding Corporation.

This is a large-scale enterprise, including almost all the enterprises controlled by official capital related to defense production under the control of the Southern Navy.

For example, the Nanzhou Arms Corporation has more than a dozen medium- and large-scale arsenals, including the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, the Nanhai Shipyard, the Luo'an Arsenal, the Hetai Arsenal, the Dongdingzhou Ordnance Bureau, the Dongdingzhou Second Arsenal, the Zishengzhou First Machinery Bureau, the Zishengzhou Machinery Bureau Second Branch, the Third Branch, and the Zishengzhou Ammunition Factory, as well as the newly controlled Quyang Prefecture Qingde Arsenal, Quyang Prefecture Southern Arsenal, and Quyang Prefecture Artillery Factory.

The Southern Navy took over the land of the four states, and also accepted the arsenals originally controlled by the feudal towns, these arsenals were strong and weak, large and small, some were single professional guns and ammunition production factories, and some were comprehensive large-scale arsenals, which even included steel, machinery manufacturing, chemical and other branch factories.

In particular, the first machine bureau in Zisheng Prefecture is typical, this first machine bureau is very large-scale, with more than a dozen industrial departments such as steel, machinery, precision instruments, power, chemical industry, mining, shipbuilding, etc., basically there should be heavy industry in this year, this factory, can produce guns without relying on any external forces, including machinery and equipment for manufacturing guns, raw materials, etc......

For these arsenals, the Defense Production Committee of the Southern Navy has directly adjusted, for example, many arsenals have their own steel industry, which is not suitable, and will transfer the steel departments set up in the first machine bureau of Zisheng Prefecture and other arsenals to integrate a larger and more professional steel company.

The main body of integration is Luohai Iron and Steel Company, which is originally a professional steel company with leading technology and large scale, which is very suitable as the main body of integration, and can share technology and management experience. Finally, Luohai Iron and Steel Corporation appeared.

These head offices are very special, after all, they are special products of the war period, and their industries are all official assets, and their goals are very simple, everything is for the war to serve.

After the integration, the indifferent settlement between the enterprises was effectively reduced, and the occurrence of a situation in which company A owed 1,000 yuan to company B, company B owed 1,000 yuan to company C, and company C owed 1,000 yuan to company A, and finally everyone fell into a state of debt cycle......

Through the collection of accounts, the military only needs to allocate a certain amount of funds to the head offices to maintain their operation, and there is no need to make a mess and chaotic accounts as in the past, and some enterprises have been delayed in a large amount of payments, resulting in a situation where even the wages of workers cannot be paid.

Anyway, the goal set by Lin Ziran for the Defense Production Committee of the Southern Navy is very simple, no matter what means are used, it is necessary to ensure the supply of military supplies!

In the end, as long as the workers are paid, the factories are kept running, and the munitions are produced, everything else needs to make way for these three elements.

As for what kind of profits, that is something that private capital should consider, not what official capital should consider, so the material exchanges between its various enterprises should belong to the internal exchanges between enterprises, and there is no problem such as profit settlement.

Although the series of measures taken by Lin Ziran in the second half of this year have ensured the supply of military supplies and even further increased the production capacity of national defense materials, this still cannot change the fact that the financial system has gone bankrupt.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that after Quyang Prefecture was taken, the four states were connected together, and the surface was strong, Lin Ziran decided to suspend the pace of expansion first and solve the internal problems first.

Otherwise, the front is fighting, and the back is estimated to be paralyzed and collapsed.
