Jingshi, Luoyang, a commanding height controlled by the militia. It became an important observation post. Here, you can see the palace through a telescope. But it's still a bit farther away. The situation is not clear.

"Sir." An officer with the rank of lieutenant came over and said.

"What's the matter?" Colonel One-Eyed asked. Yesterday, the War Department had already given an order for promotion. Colonel One-Eyed transferred to active duty officer. At the same time, his military rank was also greatly promoted, and he could be called a one-eyed brigadier general.

But the one-eyed colonel is still called a colonel. The reason is simple, his rank has not yet been sent. He was a colonel before he was sent over.

"Sir, it's a mess. It was so bad that it put us in a completely overwhelming situation. The lieutenant said with the news he had gotten.

"Let's talk about it. It's not the worst-case scenario, I wonder what we're going to know right? Colonel One-Eyed said.

"One of our militia battalions, while conducting reconnaissance yesterday, accidentally occupied some other neighborhoods in the vicinity. The situation they control has made our situation much more favorable. The lieutenant said. Colonel One-Eyed just nodded. This does not mean that the situation in Luoyang is very favorable to them.

"Our reconnaissance has detected that Dong Zhuo's army is looting everywhere. I think you've seen it too. They looted a lot of civilian property. Not only that, but they set fires. Some civilians have no choice but to take refuge with us. It added a lot of trouble to us. The lieutenant said.

"It seems that the situation of the enemy is somewhat bad. We're going to scout them again, and we're going to build new shelters, so we don't let the guys rush in and wreak havoc on the new areas we've built. Colonel One-Eyed said.

The situation is still not very clear, and in many places they don't know what's going on, but it's enough for them. There's going to be a lot more they need to know. However, the situation of Dong Zhuo's army, and the area they can control, is still relatively small.

Although Dong Zhuo repeatedly assured that he would guarantee the integrity of Luoyang, the fact of the situation was that the rebellious army was not controlled at all, once the order to retreat was given. They quickly slack down, which in turn creates a big disadvantage, which is for anyone. It's all extremely bad. The rebels caused a certain amount of confusion. But the militias are not yet in a position to control the situation.

On a rural road in Hanoi. Zhang Liao and his combat battalion were heading south, and the road had been widened and leveled. On some special sections, there are also militiamen, carrying weapons and wielding shovels and hoes to level the work, and not far away, children can be seen sentry. The women poured water on the side of the road and prepared some food for them.

Zhang Liao believes that the militia and guerrilla warfare in the Hanoi area are doing very well, at the very least, so that they can look and feel that they are very effective.

If Zhang Liao had a deep understanding, he would have known how big the disaster in the Hanoi region would have been in the past, and in that case, many of their conditions would be in an extremely unfavorable state. People simply can't live. And now, after the Republican Army arrived here, they have established their trustworthy armed forces, which are all formed by themselves, and they need to rely on themselves to surround their homeland. That's the biggest motivation. and sustained strength.

"Look, heaven, what's that in the sky?" A grenadier looked at the sky in horror. Some unknown soldiers, they knelt down on the ground at once, they worshiped nature, the eagles in the sky, and the wolves on the earth were the objects of their worship.

"That's an airship, don't worry too much." Zhang Liao explained. But some of the soldiers still looked at the sky in horror, and some of the soldiers next to them couldn't help but laugh. The militia looked at the airship in the sky for some reason.

Zhang Liao looked up at the four airships flying over. They flew very low, and there was some equipment hoisted underneath, which looked like pontoon equipment.

The grenadiers and other soldiers came from different sources, and there was a great deal of prejudice between the two sides. In many places, the differences between them are not just languages, but also various ideas. For example, now, those soldiers from Hedong will laugh at the grenadiers as dirt buns, and they have never even seen an airship. The grenadiers, on the other hand, just thought that this was a god, and since it was a god, it was normal to pay homage.

Zhang Liao had no choice but to scold some of his team members, telling them to make a little noise and maintain unity, it was still very necessary, after all, there were many problems, and it was definitely not the situation they wanted to see.

He didn't want to see them in a state of pulling each other back in the future, and then their enemies would laugh.

However, Zhang Liao had some wonders why the airship flew so low. It seems that there is a possibility of falling.

The Republican Army used two bombing squadrons to transport three pontoon equipment to the Yellow River. But the pontoon equipment was too heavy. After the airship has abandoned most of its armament. Still can't fly too high. Fortunately, it's all plains. They don't have to worry too much about obstacles like hills. Otherwise, they will be in very big trouble. In such a situation. They could only carry it at full capacity, hoisting three pairs of pontoon equipment underneath and urgently transporting them to the front line. It looks like they're going to get crazy. But this is what commands them to do it.

Zhang Liao's troops continued to advance, and the airship was only a small episode on their march, as for what would become of the front line and when they would go into battle. He can't know now, because they are reserves. It is possible to follow behind, close to the front line.

Handan, within the securities market.

There were chicken feathers all over the ground. Many stocks have fallen by a large margin, and many people have lost hope. They believe that it has fallen so much that it simply cannot rise all at once. A lot of people have become panicked.

The news finally came, the road of logistical supply at the front, and the news that the Yellow River was blocking the path of the Republican army. This has led to a large decline in the securities market. If there were some military experts, they probably wouldn't think so, because these are just engineering issues, after all, they don't have a situation that makes their situation worse than that. These are all overcome, and for the Republican Army it is not a great difficulty.

War has always been like this.

However, in the madness there is no Lee Crazy that, he thinks, those low-priced stocks. In particular, bank stocks. There is a lot of profit. Exactly why this is done. Li Li couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't know why he did it, but there were certain benefits to doing so. When Li Li saw the price after the fall, he felt that he couldn't sit still. You know, such an opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you may never have such a good opportunity in your life.

So, Li Li made a very crazy decision, he used part of the money he had used for his marriage to trade stocks, and he bought more shares in a big way. Even, in more cases, he will take more conditions to buy the stock becomes much more advantageous.

Despite the fact that there will be a certain amount of loss on the books, Li Li believes that he has done the right thing. He did something right, and as long as he persisted and persevered, it would be much easier. He himself couldn't explain it well.

In fact, Hedong bankers are actively negotiating with Handan Bank urgently, and they hope that both sides will cede more benefits to achieve a win-win situation for both sides.

The basis of the agreement is Dong Zhuo's Luoyang.

The location of Luoyang is much better than that of Handan, although Handan took the lead in developing and industries gathered here, but the location here is not a good market demand after all. Handan's radiating area was too limited, and to the west, the Taihang Mountains blocked most of his passages. In the east, there is no good market expansion, which puts Handan's position in a very disadvantageous situation.

And the situation in Luoyang is very beneficial to them. To the south, they can open up a wider southern market. Moreover, all sorts of goods are gathered there. There is a great advantage in population, and in such a situation, their situation will become much more favorable.

Bank of Hedong is the largest creditor bank in Luoyang. Because they borrowed a lot of money, but because there were too many borrowed funds, Luoyang, a huge collateral, could not have more funds to revitalize.

And Handan Bank has funds, and they have ample funds. But the IRA pressured them to prepare for it, or else they would let go of their stocks. This is a disaster for both sides, the only difference is that the degree of suffering is different.

The benefits of Luoyang's development are extremely obvious, and if you want to develop it, the only way is to cooperate, first of all, financially revitalize this Luoyang City, which has been dead for a long time.

Luoyang became the best way for Handan Bank and Hedong Bank to sit down and talk, after all, there is no greater benefit than this.

Moreover, after talking, in order to better control Luoyang, if Luoyang is too badly damaged, the problem of construction will become very troublesome.

As a result, both banking groups are quietly buying each other's shares. Control the other person's situation as much as possible. Li Li didn't know any of this, he didn't know what the situation would be like with these intrigues, what he did know was what his fiancée would think of him if he lost his money. He didn't want to think about it. It was too hard for him.
