The two artillery trainees from Dong Zhuojun painfully carried out a large number of calculation problems, these calculation problems, repeated, and could not understand, because they did not understand what those symbols represented, but what they knew was that their instructor asked them to repeat, a large number of calculations of these problems, and the speed was very fast, which made them miserable.

There is no way to do this, because the most basic training of the artillery trained by the Republican Army also takes more than six months, and six months is still not enough for them. After entering the artillery unit, they undergo three months of intensive training. Especially after the appearance of new shells, that is, after ***, this training became more and more common, because the types of artillery were constantly increasing. There are field artillery, direct-fire artillery, horse artillery, ** artillery and so on. Calibers are also not equal in size, so training artillery is not an easy task.

But for Dong Zhuojun, they don't know, especially Dong Zhuo, in his opinion, three months is too long. You know, those firearms soldiers, they spent two months, queues, and use can be relatively proficient, in his opinion, the Republican Army is completely blinded to him. Because in Dong Zhuo's opinion, under the education of sticks, those damn artillerymen did learn in three months.

This is how Dong Zhuo's army began, their infantry training usually uses extremely strict military stick education, for example, the queue is not neat, all members are punished, under such high pressure, the training is naturally fast, although Dong Zhuojun does not know what kind of direct benefits this training has, but then they quickly understood, because this kind of training, can be large-scale, quickly complete the assembly of troops, and the deployment of formation, such a way of combat, for them, is very advantageous. In short, this is the result of the rapid growth of the corporal punishment education of the old-style army, and under the premise of pursuing speed, everything must be accelerated, which is Dong Zhuo's hope and urgent need.

As a result, this cramming education became the only option. Because only such a method can meet the rapidly developing artillery needs of Dong Zhuo's army, and other methods really cannot meet their large needs for construction.

Jingshi, Luoyang. The New Army Training Ground in the West Garden.

Cao Cao's control of the army was only one strengthened scale, eight hundred, and if it was more, he would not have the money to provide for it. In this way, the army's uniforms have not been changed, the food is as much as possible to meet their needs, mutton cannot afford to eat, but pork can still meet their meat needs, and the army, naturally, will not pursue these things.

"Our engineer company is still inferior to the Republican Army in digging tunnels and using **, and we still need to learn from the Republican Army, after all, they are not a professional engineer unit." Of course, they still use some methods taught by the Republican Army, which is feasible according to the regulations, and they learn quickly, but they are far from the way they can use them freely and flexibly.

In fact, what Cao Cao didn't know was that among his engineering troops, some people had begun to do some things he didn't know about privately, such as digging tunnels, if you simply use functional labor and tools to excavate, the efficiency is low, and the speed is not very fast, and you also need to look at the situation of the soil layer, once you encounter an extremely bad soil layer, the man-hours of excavation will increase, which is inevitable.

But there are always some special talents among the sappers, in the area controlled by the Republican Army, the Republican Army will use ** to mine coal resources, because the mining speed will be accelerated, similarly, there are some people in the engineer company who use ** to speed up the excavation, but the control of the use of **, and how to place it is a purely technical work, these people will secretly use it in some special channels, for example, tomb robbery.

Those sappers will secretly communicate with some tomb robbers, after all, the big cave takes a long time, and it is easy to be discovered, and it is extremely unfavorable to usher in the arrest of the government. But if you use **, the speed will be greatly accelerated, which greatly improves efficiency. Although there is some irony, it is not bad, and this is also the way of use, after all, in ancient warfare, it was difficult for artillery to break through such a defense as a city, and it was necessary for professional sappers to use the method of demolition to achieve such a technique. The role of the sapper was first established in such a situation.

"The exchange of sappers, we still need to negotiate with the Republican Army, but these all need money, damn it, the Republican Army only recognizes money, when did they become so greedy." Cao Cao said indignantly that Cao Cao also wanted to cooperate with the Republican Army, but the depth of cooperation could not be further expanded, after all, in the eyes of the Republican Army, Cao Cao's value was still not very large.

It's good to be able to maintain the current cooperation. Wanting to expand, the Republican Army does not want to look for greater trouble for itself, after all, such a thing is not a small trouble for them.

"The IRA is a commercial country, and their agriculture is developed, but it is carried out through commercial organizations, which is certainly different from us, and if there are not enough reasons to get through them, they will not expand and cooperate with us at all." Xi Zhicai also said helplessly.

Because he is also constantly studying the Republican Army, the Republican Army's various actions are extremely abnormal, and they continue to buy relevant books to see, in the Republican Army-controlled areas, the people talk about commercial value, business management, and economic activities are very normal, business is business, human favor is human favor, as for morality, they do not attach much importance to it, which makes many Confucian scholars scoff, they think that and the Republican Army is to be friends with business, they attach too much importance to practical interests, so such people can't make friends.

It can be said that it is precisely such an incompatible value that has brought great trouble to the promotion of the economic activities of the Republican Army, after all, it is still Confucianism who holds the right to speak in public opinion, not the Republican Army, although the newspapers of the Republican Army are good, but their influence is limited, they can only control their own areas, and in the external region, they do not occupy a huge advantage, they only occupy the technical high point, newspapers, magazines, and printing advantages, but in other fields, they have no height at all. This is the current state of the Republican Army.

Xi Zhicai is also constantly researching, especially economics, because this kind of knowledge is more practical, but the impact of concepts is too powerful. Xi Zhicai still couldn't accept it for a while, after all, they thought it was too realistic. The impact is too great.

In terms of management, the traditional way seems to have certain limitations, because they suppress the uncertainty factor of technology, but they still have room to exist, after all, they need a balance. For a while, Xi Zhicai couldn't accept such a deviant knowledge.

"Forget that. It's not something we can manage, I'm concerned about what we're going to do next. There's no money, there's no other opportunity, and that's not a good thing for us. Cao Cao said.

"I don't know what happened to Wen Ruo. It would be a good thing if it could bring greater financial help. Cao Cao said. Cao Cao is short of money now, really short of money, but he has a lot of money, he hopes that Xun Yu can find a way to get money from the Republican Army, so that they can alleviate their financial difficulties to the greatest extent, but this problem can not be completed all at once. It's a big test for them.

"I hope it can make a big difference." Xi Zhicai said this, after all, they are far inferior to Xun Yu when it comes to things like doing business, because the other party is easy to know some things they don't know. That's the advantage.

"Don't talk about these things. In the matter of merging states, we should pay attention to the fact that if the Republican Army can block the southward movement of the Wuhuan people, there is still hope for merging states. Cao Cao said,

Cao Cao still regarded the Central Plains region as a traditional control area, and Cao Cao would still strongly oppose the offensive Central Plains region, after all, this was the Central Plains people's own sphere of influence.

"According to what we've received from the Republican Army, the Republican Army's independent infantry divisions have moved north, and they're using a large number of four-wheeled wagons, which are extremely large enough to provide greater logistical support, though." Xi Zhicai stopped and didn't say anything.

"But what? Is this a good thing? Cao Cao asked, after all, the amount of transportation brought by the carriage is still very large, he knows that the republican army fights with logistics, and the other party also attaches great importance to logistics guarantees.

"The problem is here, because our roads are in very poor condition, and there are four-wheeled carriages in Luoyang, but these carriages never go out of the city, or they are not very far from the city, and the road conditions are very high, and the roads in the state have not been repaired, and the Republican Army has not made relevant guarantees, so that the situation will be very critical, they originally thought that they could go north quickly, but they didn't know that this move made their situation very unfavorable." Xi Zhicai said.

"Ugh." After Cao Cao heard this, he gasped, this is right, if this is really the case, the situation will be very bad, and it will be very unfavorable to them. Cao Cao felt very uneasy.
