Luoyang, Beijing. The prototype of the West Park Arsenal has been established. Emperor Ling of Han came here to inspect.

"Is this worker's thing settled?" Emperor Han Ling asked.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a little difficult." Zhang Rang said embarrassedly.

"What's so difficult, tell the widow." Emperor Han Ling looked at the factory and said. This arsenal was built in the style of the Second Arsenal of the Republican Army.

"The Republican side needs a lot of food, and they plan to exchange it for workers. At this point, we can only exchange half of the workers. There is also some equipment. These devices also need to be further exchanged by them to get so many devices. Zhang Rang said embarrassedly.

"Change. Change. The widow has this weapon, and he has everything. Change. Emperor Han Ling said disapprovingly.

"But Your Majesty, the food in the official warehouse is already insufficient. The rebels also need to be wiped out quickly. Zhang Rang said.

"Out of food?" Emperor Han Ling asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no food to exchange. The little ones are also worried about this matter. Zhang Rang said helplessly.

"Hmm." Emperor Han Ling began to think about such a thing. Their military rations are not enough. But the problem is that this West Park Military Factory needs to solve such a problem. It was very difficult for him to feel that there were so many things to solve in such a situation.

"That's it. You go. You go and fix something like that. Emperor Han Ling said. Hearing this, Zhang Rang was very surprised. He didn't know how to deal with such a situation.

"This. Your Majesty. Zhang Rang said embarrassedly.

"Yes. You go and deduct a part of the military rations, give them to them, and that's it. "Emperor Han Ling thought of military rations, and in this way, their problem was solved.

Zhang Rang was speechless, because this meant that all the situations would change a lot, because the lack of military rations on the front line meant that many things on the front line would not be resolved. Once there is a shortage of military rations, it means that the situation on the entire battlefield will change greatly.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"Cavalry is not easy to deal with. However, I believe that we should grasp the key to the enemy, especially their logistical supply. But the Yellow Turban Army units did not have logistical supply lines. Jia Xu said. Jia Xu's main goal was to solve their logistical supply problems. Fight their weaknesses. In this way, all the problems can be solved.

"Hmm. We only have two legs, but the enemy has four. We can also follow our style of play and turn their rhythm into our rhythm all of a sudden, so that we can. Shang Wu said.

"But in this way, it is necessary to strengthen the reconnaissance force on the battlefield. Because we don't have information, we don't have the means to get some specific information. Shang Wu said embarrassedly.

Shangwu knows. The only way to change some of these situations is to find a way to start scouting on the battlefield. The republican army's reconnaissance force has indeed increased a lot, for example, their scouts have begun to have special remuneration packages, and the food is not the same, and those who participate in the scouts are all elite forces. The training style is also different.

But there was a shortage of horses. As well as the disadvantage of not being very mobile, despite the presence of telescopes, the ability to communicate is still very long, and in such a situation, many things cannot be solved. Because they lack horses. The poor means of communication, which greatly limited the development of their reconnaissance forces, and in such a situation, many things became extremely different.

"I think there can be a way to solve the problem." Jia Xu said.

"Air power. If we can have air power to conduct reconnaissance and solve such problems for us, I think most of the problems can be solved. Jia Xu said with a smile.

"That's a good suggestion." Shang Wu nodded. Air power is indeed an issue that they have to solve right now. Because most of the early air power was mainly used for reconnaissance forces, because they did not yet have offensive capabilities, and they would not attack until they had offensive capabilities. That's what Shang Wu thought of, and such a situation would be beneficial to them.

The air power should be as early as possible. Although Shang Wu had plans to convert the Fourth Infantry Division into an air force, the air force was, after all, a product of a super-era era for this era. But the reality of the IRA has become dramatically different. Why it's different, the reason is simple. That's when their situation becomes different. They need to solve some problems on their own.

If the Air Force can provide some reconnaissance, they can solve such problems from other directions. Moreover, their reconnaissance range is relatively wide. This is the first problem that Shangwu must solve.

"I think it's okay." Shang Wu nodded and said. He felt that if they made a small airship, they would probably be able to cope with such a situation, and if they did too much, he might not be able to solve such a problem. So, such things can still be done.

"Sir. Good news, sir. "That's when it happened. A staff officer ran over and shouted.

"What's the good news?" Shang Wu asked the staff officer with a smile.

"Sir, the Arsenal just sent a message that says. Such a thing is easy to solve. We need to change that. The staff officer said.

"Say it." Shangwu asked.

"Yes. Sir, the barrel is out. It's a rifle barrel from our steam engine. And it's easy to get out. The staff officer said. Shang Wu nodded.

"Quick, let's go over and have a look." Shang Wu took Jia Xu and ran to the arsenal to check the barrel, the barrel is a big deal. Arquebuses are good and easy to manufacture, but the problem is that they use casting technology and the muskets are too heavy. The burden on the soldiers is too much. Fighting in such a situation, the command made their situation extremely unfavorable.

At the same time, the creation of flintlock pistols required the improvement of a lot of things for them, and in such a situation they had to solve such a puzzle. to upgrade everything in the musket.

Now the problem of the barrel is solved at once. This made Shang Wu very happy, which meant that the IRA could make flintlock pistols on a large scale. Thus in terms of weapons, and other armies to open a weapon algebra. It's a technical advantage, and this technological advantage will make the transition extremely advantageous for them.

"Good. Good. All right. Shang Wu touched the barrel of the gun. Then take a look at the horizontal machine. The situation with machine tools has become more favorable. Driven by the transmission, a worker is machining a gun barrel, and they can increase the production of their own weapons by machining such a machine tool. The steam engine is still an old-fashioned steam engine, maybe his power is not very large, and he can have many, many problems, but he can solve everything, and in this case, their situation is indeed the most favorable.

"Okay. All right. We finally have something like this. With such a machine, many problems will be solved. Shang Wu said as he touched the barrel of his gun.

"Come on." Shang Wu excitedly gave the barrel of the gun in his hand to Jia Xu. Jia Xu didn't know why processing a gun barrel would make Shang Wu so happy. But he knew that their weapons would be upgraded more and more places, and with such a situation, they would be upgraded even better.

It takes some time to produce a barrel, for example, two hours to process a barrel, and four hours to make a better flintlock pistol, which seems slow, but in fact, it is a huge increase compared to the previous production. At the very least, as long as they have enough flintlock pistol parts, they can make more and more weapons.

"The most important thing is that the steam engine, he can play a major role. With the steam engine, we can make more equipment, and this number will be greatly increased. This is the era of machines producing machines. We will be ahead of everybody, and then everything will make a big difference. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"It's fun to look at you." Jia Xu said with a smile. The biggest advantage of machines is that machines can produce machines, they can quickly meet their many needs, such a situation will help them solve most of the problems, this kind of thing is the situation they need the most.

"Boom." That's when it happened. A loud explosion came, albeit from a far, far away. But everyone can feel the amazing power.

"What's going on, what's going on? Where did the explosion come from. Is there an accident at the ammunition factory? Fast. Go check it out. After Shang Wu and Jia Xu carefully dodged. Shang Wu shouted loudly. Because it's so important. If something happens, a lot of things won't work out.

"Sir, no, it seems to be the eastern suburbs, which is not the location of the ammunition factory." One of the guards said cautiously.

"Let's go, go check it out." Shang Wu felt very surprised, so did they have a situation happening. Shang Wu felt that in such a situation, they should solve such a matter well.

Soon, Shang Wu and Jia Xu came to the scene of the accident, and the surrounding area had been controlled by the military police in time.

"What's going on?" Shang Wu asked a captain.

"Sir, ask him." As the captain spoke, he pushed Li Bida to the front.

"What's going on?" Shangwu asked.

"I can't hear you, sir." Li Bida replied.

"I experimented with a new **. It's the recipe, my ears right now, buzzing. Nothing can be heard. Saying that, Li Bida handed over the new ** formula to Shang Wu.

"What? Let me see. Shang Wu quickly took the note and looked at it.
