The bandits, they saw that their companions were involved in the training. If they don't go, they feel isolated. Perhaps the bandits themselves are living in groups. Because they can only play their due role when they come together and form a collective, which they themselves admit.

"It seems that our troops are all highly motivated. Otherwise, how could they have done so much? The red lady said with a smile. See the training ground in full swing. She said happily.

"This enthusiasm needs to be maintained, and at the same time we must pay attention to quality, according to the current situation, the combat effectiveness is still not up to standard." The other party said worriedly.

"Oh. Why is that? The red lady asked.

"It's very clear in the codex. Our combat strength is not able to form the strength of a brigade to fight. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to bring into play the combat effectiveness of an infantry brigade. Moreover, there are two tests on the formation of the combat effectiveness of the troops: First, it is a combat exercise, and if the performance is good during the exercise, it can be regarded as the formation of combat effectiveness. The second is to encounter battles. It is also possible to perform amazingly in battle. The Red Turban Army, which is the Republican Army, was mostly formed in battle. This. I think it's not a good test for them. Zhang Xian said.

"Hmm. I think the chief of staff seems to be worried every time. Is it the case that all chiefs of staff are like this? The red lady asked Zhang Xian.

"Oh. No. It's just that the chief of staff has many, many issues to consider. Not most things do. Zhang Xian said.

"Then the chief of staff can come up with some way to do this kind of competition, so be it. Recently, the commander allocated a batch of weapons to us, if we distribute according to the previous distribution method, our troops will get more weapons and equipment, but the troops who need it will not get such equipment, which is very unfair to them, we might as well engage in a fair competition, select some of the competition items in the drill code to compete, the side that gets the advantage takes most of the weapons and equipment, then takes away some equipment, and finally gets some equipment, and the troops who are behind the score cannot get such equipment. What do you think? The red lady said.

"Hmm. Very good. In this way, the troops' training enthusiasm will be higher. And there are better goals. I think that by doing so, we can do that. Zhang Xian agreed.

"In this case, such an order is issued." The red lady said.

At the time of eating. The soldiers of the Mountain Brigade were gathered in front of the huge list, not at the dinner table. Even if there are a few foodies, they are still holding a bowl and looking at the list.

"Hey. Brother, what's written on this? A bandit asked a soldier curiously.

"Oh. It said. Competitions should be held according to companies and battalions. The winners will receive a large number of weapons and equipment, and there will be no rewards for the last few places. The soldier said. When the thieves heard this, they felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly reported that their leader had gone.

Inside the barracks of the first battalion, which was the barracks of a bandit unit.

"Alright. I know. Isn't it competition, when Lao Tzu killed, these dolls didn't know what they were doing anywhere. We will be afraid of them and let them see how good our brothers are. A major officer said disdainfully.

"Chief." A bandit soldier reported.

"Sir, how many times have you said that? This republican army is also a regular army, don't call the leader, you are the goods of the bandits at first glance. The Major said.

"Yes. It's sir. Sir, then the brethren will have fewer weapons to replenish. This combat effectiveness may not be able to go up. When this time of war, it will be unfavorable to our battalion. The other party said.

"Who we are, who they are, I can't do it yet. It's not as good as them. Go and inquire about what's more. Let's practice well. The Major said. As for the competition, the thieves think that those honest people who farm the land are no match for them, after all, they have killed people, and they are compared to them. What are they. In short, they are disdainful. Believe that the other party has no chance of winning.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"It's also a lot of money to lay cables and erect poles." Jia Xu looked at the list of expenses and said.

"But this expenditure will give us a military advantage, and that advantage will be extremely advantageous." Shang Wu said.

"Moreover, let's give it a try, and if it works well, we can also export it, and if their Emperor Majesty is interested, we can establish such a communication. And to make a lot of money, you can't think that we are good to use, and the other party does not use it, in this case, it is unfair to them. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Hmm. I don't have as much as you think. You can do business with anything, the main thing is that you can come up with a lot of good things. In short, such a thing, I think, is still right for you. Jia Xu was reluctant to argue with Shangwu on this issue. Because Jia Xu didn't want to sell such a good thing. Because once the other side gets such technology, it will imitate it, and in that case, the whole situation will be unfavorable to the Republican Army. And Shang Wu didn't care about this at all, because the Republican Army had a technological advantage, and through the export of technology, it achieved a greater benefit, and Shang Wu was ready to write a letter to Zuo Feng to tell him such a thing, so that he could take the opportunity to lobby around His Majesty the Emperor and persuade their Emperor Majesty to buy such equipment, so that they could make a lot of money, which was for Shang Wu. This is an extremely advantageous point.

"Brother Shangwu. Brother Shangwu, you want to kill me. Cao Cao shouted loudly.

"Huh. Mende came. Jia Xu shook his head and smiled. Then he dodged it.

"Oh. Brother Wen He is also there. Cao Cao smiled and saluted.

"Brother Mengde." Shang Wu said politely with a smile.

"I'd like to ask, Brother Shangwu. What are those big black poles up there for, I look at the things erected on them, and they seem to look familiar. Cao Cao asked Shangwu at this time.

"Oh. It was the telephone pole, the cable that was used to set up the telegraph. Speaking of which. "Sangwu wants to tell you what happened to the cable.

"Oh. It was put into practice so quickly. That's fast. If it works well, I will persuade some places to buy such a thing, but in terms of price, you have to negotiate it carefully and give me some discounts. Cao Cao sat down and said unfamiliarly. I've been here a few times, I've been here a few times. Cao Cao felt that this was the same as in his own home.

"Of course." Shang Wu said.

"But you have to protect these cables. Look at my cable, it's just been laid. All of a sudden, we were cut off from our own people. No, the war report of the North. It's only halfway through it, and I don't know what's going on. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Oh." Cao Cao was intrigued, and then looked at the telegram handed over by Shang Wu. It was the first time he had seen a message delivered via telegram. There is a time record on it, and at this time there was no clock, and it could only be represented by the hour, which had great uncertainty. Shang Wu thought that this was not a good response to the needs of war, and if he had time, he must have invented clocks because they needed to be accurate. Even the factory work, they do it according to the hour. Sometimes you need to look at the sky. It's time for them to stop working. It depends on where the moon has come up, and when you eat, you also look at the sun. There is no such thing as an accuracy at all.

"Brother Shangwu. I have a reluctant request. Cao Cao looked at the telegram and said. Sangmu shook his head. Cao Cao sometimes plays scoundrels. But Shangwu doesn't care at all, this is the true temperament.

"You want to be in command of this operation?" Shang Wu asked with a smile.

"Yes, this is one thing to study and study in a military school, but what you have learned can only be known if it is good or not, do you say it? So, I'm here to give it a try. Don't worry, I'll be a staff officer here and give you a hand. How's it up to you to command? Cao Cao asked Shang Wu with a smile.

"That's what you said. Can I not say yes? If I don't say yes, you might want something good from me. Never mind. I agreed to this. Shang Wu said.

"Huh. Good. Cao Cao said with a smile. For the study of this time. Cao Cao himself is also quite experienced, but what he has experienced, he always thinks about where to use it, Cao Cao is such a person, for him. These things are very useful.

"That's right. And then there's the thing, that marching band. Can I bring some musical instruments back when I leave in the future? Don't worry, just teach them to learn the tune. This thing just sounds good. Cao Cao said.

"No, I can't. Resolutely no, score, I can give it to you, but this military band can't. You've come to the General Staff to be a staff officer. I have granted you this request. You can't have everything to be no, that's unreasonable. Shang Wu immediately waved his hand and said. Shang Wu is not a slam on the door, but he has a great new arrangement for the military band, and he also needs to rely on the military band to boost morale, after all, for new things, it is easy to boost the morale of the army, but Cao Cao is already thinking about this thing.

"Why not? I'm going to be a staff officer for you, so I'm helping you. Just like your factory, I came here to work, you are the factory owner, you have to pay me. This salary is those military bands. Don't worry, I'll send people back. Just teach me some tunes, you know, brother, I like some tunes, those sounds of silk and bamboo. I don't listen to the music of bells and drums, but you are a military band, I listen to it very excitingly, and if I build up troops in the future, I will definitely use my own tunes, and I am not the same as you. But the problem is, you have to lend me a few people, I don't want much. Cao Cao said.

"A few." Shang Wu loosened his mouth to the ground.

"Twenty." Cao Cao said.

"Two, just two, don't bargain, tell you, my military band is all treasures, and I don't want to give you any of them, and my troops still need to rely on them to write tunes. You're leaving. I'm going to lose two people. Shang Wu said.

"That. Well, two are two, and two are also marching bands. Cao Cao said helplessly. But he was still quite happy in his heart. I wonder if I want some more instruments back. After all, the instruments are made of copper.

"I'll tell you about this instrument. You have to pay for it, it's all made of copper, it's very expensive, I gave it to you, but you can't keep this instrument for me. You get the money. Shang Wu said.

"Okay. Okay, okay, I'll pay for this instrument, I'll pay for it. Cao Cao said.

"Don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid of you." Shang Wu hurriedly stopped Cao Cao.

"Look at you, I don't think your martial brother is such a person. Look at you, what kind of person do you think Brother Meng De is? Cao Cao said scoundrelly. That's what he actually thought, and Jia Xu was smiling secretly on the side.

"No, I'm afraid it is. Look at your telegram, you want people. Do you want a score? Shang Wu said.

"Didn't you give it to me? I didn't ask for it, you were going to give it to me. Cao Cao said. Cao Cao is beating snakes with sticks. He doesn't care what you want. It's for him. This is what he needs. If he couldn't bring him something like this, he wouldn't do it.

"Okay. Yes. Yes. You're right. You're right. Shang Wu said.

"I'm not going to give you anything to worry about." Shang Wu waved his hand and said. He knew, keep going. Cao Cao will also ask for things to come out, Cao Cao will ask for anything good when he sees it, saying that he will buy it with money, but in fact, the last bargain is his.

"You say, you are also the son of an official eunuch. There is no shortage of money at home. Why are you like this? Shang Wu asked Cao Cao.

"Huh. It's not your stuff yet? If something is not good, how can I ask you. You say yes or no. Cao Cao said.

"Looks like you're telling the truth. However, when you say this, I am reminded of one thing. Shang Wu said.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

"There is a saying that if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves." Shang Wu said.

"Okay, you kid, you actually said I was a thief." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Isn't it? Look at me here, there are any good things for you to leave. Shang Wu said.

"Huh." Cao Cao smiled but did not speak. That's true, Cao Cao still wants to leave here with something.

"That's what you're talking about. Said yes. Cao Cao said.
