Jian Shuo in order to strengthen his control. At the same time, he will also show his importance, and he decides to attack the Republican Army, because in comparison, the Republican Army is indeed a difficult opponent, and it is precisely because of the difficulty that he can show his importance. Therefore, in such a situation, Jian Shuo is trying his best to target the Republican Army.

He also came up with a series of measures against the Republican Army, such as uniting military forces from all over the country to suppress it, and he hoped to put pressure on the Republican Army by buying, agitating, etc. In this way, a lot of things for him will actually go very smoothly. This is one of Jianshuo's initial ideas.

Emperor Han Ling also knew this, but helplessly, the republican army seemed to be very strong, so strong that it was difficult to deal with. They're moving too fast. And Emperor Ling of Han has the hope of curbing the needs of the Republican Army in this regard, so Jian Shuo will get the importance of Emperor Ling of Han. This is because the threat posed by the IRA is still very great. But it's a pity that they don't know that in order to have a better development, the Republican Army will cooperate with the eunuch group, and Jian Shuo, as an outlier in the eunuch group, naturally becomes the target of attack. This is the contradiction, each side has its own needs, but it seems that it will take some time to put the other party to death. Such a time is not something that can be achieved all at once.

Hedong, inside the headquarters of Ma Heng.

"Sir, except for the cavalry to harass with a quick attack. Except for the large-scale fighting that connected our base areas and annexed some small-scale spontaneously formed civilian armed forces in the surrounding areas, it has basically stopped. A staff officer said what he had gathered. After the Battle of Binh Duong. The large-scale battle gradually stopped, whether it was the Huns, the Baibo army, or the local armed forces, and the only imperial army, both sides tried their best to widen the combat distance to ensure their own safety, especially the Huns, they retreated directly and gathered in the area north of the river, they seemed to have a great threat to the state. As for the chaotic situation in the southeast of the river, they do not want to interfere, because they are already disgusted with such a chaotic situation. The enemy is everywhere, and the deeper they go, the higher the probability of a blow, as well as all sorts of blows, and in such a situation, they can only avoid greater losses by withdrawing on a large scale.

Because they are facing very difficult opponents. You have no idea where the opponent will suddenly attack and give you a smack. This has happened many times after that. They also understand their situation, and in such a situation, they naturally do not want such a thing to happen.

"Hmm. In addition to the attacked Huns, the Huns are withdrawing little by little, and the next thing is to deal with the White Polish army, divide them, and unite some local forces, these commanders said in the telegram. It seems that our advantage is still relatively large. Ma Heng said with a smile.

For the next battle, Ma Heng is still very confident. Because of the entire southeastern region of the river. It's actually become extremely confusing. In order to ensure their own interests, as well as the interests of some families. More people gathered to protect themselves, and they gathered a large number of civilian forces. A small block, a small piece of armed forces, by contrast, the Republican Army became the largest one. Next came the White Polish Army, as well as other armed forces, and the southeastern region of the river suddenly became a chaotic area of interlaced strength. But this is an advantage for the IRA, as their formation is the most comprehensive. The combat effectiveness is also the strongest, in the face of such an opponent, all the armed forces do not seem to be opponents, in such a situation, what else can Ma Heng worry about.

"However, sir, it is not enough to rely solely on the threat of force, the chief said, and the chief of the economy is also needed to control, and if he can surrender without a fight, he will try to do so." The staff officer said.

"Hmm. I know I've read all the books you've studied. This is the so-called war is a continuation of politics, and war is for the service of politics. Is that right? Ma Heng said. Most of the staff officers were graduates of military academies, Shang Wu was the nominal principal, and many of the teaching materials were compiled by Shang Wu himself, of course. He copied many, many books to popularize, such as "On War", "On Protracted War" and a series of other military masterpieces. These materials are in-house materials. But for some diligent and studious staff officers, these are classics. Because of a lot of things, they are difficult to read.

Ma Heng is also studying, he is an officer who combines theory and practice, the reason is that many of his things are constantly going on, because he is surrounded by a large number of officers who are studying, and this learning atmosphere has driven Ma Heng to actively study and supplement his own shortcomings through study. It's a nice vibe.

"Yes. Sir. The staff officer nodded.

"However, I lack so many officers at the moment, and it would be best if someone could help me to solve such a problem, after all, it would reduce my troubles a lot, and it would be an extremely advantageous situation for us, and such a situation would be of great help to us." Ma Heng said.

"However, sir, the current situation is good for us and for us as a whole, but what we need to do is to be patient and look for such people locally. They can help us with something like this. A staff officer said.

"Oh, why do you say that?" Ma Heng asked puzzled.

"Sir, the development of our Republican Army does not depend on our own strong combat effectiveness. And rely on our system, and such a system in the past we have been constantly improving, although there are still some shortcomings, but our self-improvement system, attracted a lot of different people to join, the opportunity for all parties, are equal. It is precisely because of equal opportunities that more people can be attracted to participate. So, something like this is a huge step forward for us. The staff officer said.

"Hmm. So we have a big attraction, right? Ma Heng said.

"Yes, sir, it is precisely because of this that our development can develop rapidly, otherwise, according to the current situation, it will form a very unfavorable situation for us." The staff officer said.

"Well, I understand what you're saying. Make a plan to attract these armed forces, and at the same time we have to integrate them continuously, and it is estimated that it will not be long before we have to change them a little. Ma Heng said.

"Yes. Sir. The staff officer said. Ma Heng knew very well that the Republican Army was growing rapidly at the fastest pace of development. When merging these civilian armed forces and other armed forces, his scale will inevitably expand, for example, just like their previous regiments were upgraded to brigades, and brigades were upgraded to infantry divisions, this time their level may rise a notch again, in such a case, their strength will inevitably expand, but their combat effectiveness may be reduced due to the expansion of scale, the only way is to reorganize in a timely manner after rapid expansion, and then digest such a part of the army, in this case, Their situation will become much more favorable, and this is a special situation that they are encountering at present, and it is precisely because of such a situation that it will have a great advantage for some of their special situations.

The staff officers also know that this is another major development in the continued development of the Republican Army, and under such a development, many of their things will develop even more, and this is the special situation that they need most at present. In such a current situation, their situation will be of great benefit to them, so when it comes to such things, the problems they encounter must be estimated in advance, and only in this way can many things be better solved.

In the wolf camp, Zhang Zhen and Zhao Laosan were inspecting their new station, and their troops expanded a lot at once, because in the battle to support Pingyang County, they continued to block the Hun cavalry with some local forces, and some of the forces did not belong to them. They were supposed to be ambushing on their own initiative, but their tactics were terrible. Plus the weapons are also terrible. The militia of the Republican Army is well equipped, but the civilian armed forces are too backward in equipment, they have few standard weapons, and even fewer people can fight. The big clans in the local area are all sticking to it. And those spontaneously formed civilian forces, in order to survive, they had to take the initiative to attack the Huns, in this way, they were in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

Fortunately, the appearance of the wild wolf camp in time allowed them to see another way of fighting, plus the opponent's weapons were very special and their combat effectiveness was strong. When the Hun cavalry saw them, they would take the initiative to flee. This was something they had never dared to imagine before, and the more they simply joined in.

It's not a shame, and in their opinion, such a situation is more beneficial to them. As a result, in the continuous ambush and blocking operations, the local militia and some spontaneously formed civilian forces joined in, and the number of people in the wolf battalion exceeded more than 2,000 at once. Such a large number of people frightened both Zhao Laosan and Zhang Zhen.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is careless, this battalion commander is doing the work of the regiment commander. You know, the former regiment. It's only a thousand people. But Lao Tzu has more than 2,000 people in his hands at once, and he is fucking terrible. Zhao Laosan said. Before, he was only a company commander, and then a battalion commander, but he didn't expect that after only a few wars, his number became bigger and bigger, and he became a company commander. This makes Zhao Laosan not know what to do next? Because he has never been a regimental leader.

"I didn't expect that either. We have become a regiment-level establishment, and I really haven't thought about this problem, I haven't thought about it in my life. Zhao Laosan said. This is Zhao Laosan's big truth, because he never thought that he would be the regiment commander one day, although he is not the regiment commander now, but he has the strength of a regiment in his hands, Zhao Laosan feels a little unrealistic.

"I haven't thought about this matter, we were only a company before, and the seventh company was still a lighted army, but, in the blink of an eye, but this is the blink of an eye, how can so many people be thrown out at once? To be honest, I think it's a bit unrealistic. It's true. Such a situation makes it difficult for me to explain such a problem. Zhang Zhen also couldn't believe that they really had the strength of a regiment, he had never thought about such a thing in his life, in this case, he had an explanation for his company commander.

"Let's calm down on this matter. Calm down, the two of us have never led a regiment of troops, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, especially the military commander. It is impossible to give them a new military commander down from above. Zhao Laosan said calmly.

"It's not, and there are so many people, how can you fight. The lack of officers below is still very great, and we also need to train them militarily, so that there will be more personnel in this shortage, so that we need to do a lot of things really, really. Zhang Zhen said.

"yes, speaking of which, that's not the case for us." Zhao Laosan said.

"So, we can't be in a hurry, we can't be in a hurry, we must be calm, we must be calm, otherwise, if something goes wrong, we will be looked good." Zhao Laosan said. The rapid expansion of troops made Zhao Laosan and Zhang Zhen a little dazed. They don't even know how to deal with these situations. In such a situation, they naturally have a lot more to do.

That's what they're going to be in, but it's not the hardest for them, because there's still a lot to do. In short, there are a lot of things that need to be done better. It's a whole new kind of challenge, and it makes both of them feel a little overwhelmed, and it doesn't seem like a good feeling.

At the time of the massive expansion of troops in Hedong. And in Handan. Some veterans retired from active duty, they could be called up by the Republican Army at any time to become a reserve, and they also kept their medals, weapons, uniforms. It's just that their ranks were taken away. In addition, in their passbook, there is also a discharge and settlement allowance. If you have any difficulties, you can also go directly to the local recruitment station, and some of them are directly assigned to the factory. Some have to go through some training.

Yang San is such a veteran, one of his veterans who took refuge from the imperial court, and he is the only one left in the family. Originally, he wanted to stay in the army for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he was wounded. The hospital did its best to treat him, and his injuries were much better. But on a rainy day, the wound on my arm was painful. He can't fight anymore. It's because of such a problem.

He then became one of the Republican Army veterans. He was assigned to the 1st Arsenal. However, Yang San refused. He felt that going to work there was an object of pity. He refused. Despite repeated persuasion from his superiors, he even gave the order to die. But he just won't go back. Don't go. This is the temper peculiar to the Republican army.

He decided to rely on his own skills and make a career. The chief above was helpless and found him a bank that could provide him with an interest-free loan. It was a sum of money guaranteed by the military, and he didn't care whether Yang San agreed or not, he did it anyway. The money had been kept in his passbook. If necessary, the bank staff will tell him. Because he's a veteran.

Of course. His prefect also asked him to undergo some worker training, and he could work as a worker. But Yang San refused again. He didn't know why. It may be the unique sense of honor of a soldier.

He was really reluctant to leave the army. For people like him, they may have to stay in the army.

Out of the gate of the barracks, Yang San didn't know where to go. Many veterans have their own places to go, their own families, or they have been assigned to work in factories, or they just go to study.

Yang San has the rank of sergeant in the army and belongs to the veteran. The veterans who were discharged with him had not yet found him, and he was gone. They may go home, they may go to work, but Yang San doesn't want to trouble his comrades. He knew what it was like, and he couldn't stand the feeling of leaving the barracks, it was too uncomfortable. So, he came out quietly by himself, and then went to Handan City aimlessly.

The city of Handan is too big. He felt that he was very small when he entered Handan City alone. At the beginning, when they won the battle and entered Handan, it was not so big. But who would have thought that when they came out of the barracks, the whole Handan had changed, and Yang San didn't know it, this was Handan. It's too big. And there were a lot of people, and he suddenly felt that he was so small. It seems a little out of place with this big city.

None of the enemies frightened him. But this big city scared him.

"His grandmother's, this Handan has changed a lot." Yang San scolded. Then he entered more and more people, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation. This situation made everyone feel a little uncomfortable, but he was not afraid. Because this city was fought down by them, what are they afraid of.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department. Shang Wu and Jia Xu, who had just returned, threw themselves into their work again, because they had a lot of things to do, and the appearance of the telegram could allow them to grasp this area that was not too big, but there were a lot of things.

Because of this small base, they are constantly growing, and they still have a lot of things to do.

"The first batch of veterans, about three thousand people, were in various units, and some officers were also retired. A lot of people don't fit in. Jia Xu said.

"There's no way to adapt to it. The army needs to expand, and we can't have too much military spending to support them, otherwise, the burden will be too great. How do they work? Is it solved? If it is not easy to solve, we still need to deal with it properly, because there are many things that need to be handled properly before it can be completed. Shang Wu said.

Some of the servicemen were discharged, and this was a last resort, because many servicemen were actually no longer able to continue their service. Some soldiers have suffered a lot of trauma, they can only do some limited work, this part of the people, the military will provide some subsidies, although they do not have to worry about food and clothing, but they must live a meaningful life, otherwise there will be obstacles to re-entering society, which is a loss for these veterans, but also a kind of torture. So this problem, Shangwu is very concerned.

"This problem was solved easily, and many people were assigned to the police and security department. Because we need more police, many soldiers have received education and know a lot of words, and they still have a good understanding of the army. There is a lot in common between the two. Jia Xu said.

"And the factory also solves part of the problem, they are soldiers themselves, they like it, they are organized, they work in an orderly manner, and the factory is some of their best places, of course. They also need some training, but most of the problems can be solved. Jia Xu said.

"Well, we also need to establish more academies to give these veterans a chance to re-learn, so that they can become the people most needed by society, so that they can accept the re-learning and achieve this purpose again." Shang Wu said.

"Well, we can solve such a situation as well. However, for now, it is difficult for them to meet some of the requirements of the academy, after all, there are still too many knowledge gaps. Jia Xu said helplessly.

"Well, no matter what, we must provide such an opportunity for him, in this way, many of his things can be done better, the army to society, there is a long, long way to go, we must let them adapt to it." Shang Wu said.

"I agree with that, but what we should see is that in Hedong, our troops are expanding rapidly, and at the same time, various militia organizations have also recommended some new recruits to join the army, and the iron battalion has been established." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. This is the need to weed out some veterans. At the same time, we also need to see that in the army, we also need some knowledgeable, educated, and ideal young people to participate in it, if they can't arrange some positions for them in time, they will suffer some blows when they join the army, this is a system, veterans, recruits, everyone is a soldier. Shang Wu said. Jia Xu nodded. Record it. It's really a whole.
