"We should take into account the realities that we are facing. Dong Zhuo will not be able to meet our market demand in the west in a short period of time, and we will squeeze a large part of their market space. Shang Wu said.

"At the same time, our internal situation is actually not very optimistic, after this war, we may face very high debts, if we can't deal with these debts in time, it will turn into a big crisis, and if we can't face such a crisis in time, we will lose all what we have gained, which is a very big trouble for us." Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu nodded in agreement. Jia Xu had access to a lot of secret documents, and judging from these documents, the Republican Army was actually not in a very favorable situation. Even, there was already a very weak situation, this war, the republican army again issued a large amount of debt, the mortgage was the right to issue paper money in a part of the banking department, and the development of the entire Luoyang area, as for Hanoi, it was a complete accident.

A large amount of debt will put ** in a stage where it is necessary to resolve debts for a long time in the future, and the scale of the war will be greatly reduced, for example, war military spending, military personnel, and the only way for the Republican Army to maintain a certain national defense military strength is to rely on diplomatic support to achieve a check and balance relationship, for example, to support an agent, so that the agent can attract the attention of more Kwantung forces. And the IRA is only manipulating behind the scenes. Shang Wu had already been planning such a thing earlier.

At the same time, the IRA can also conduct all kinds of economic transactions with agents, and expanding the market share of the IRA is the key. That's what's next for the IRA. Shang Wu began to talk about some of his plans.

"And to support an agent, you can take on a lot of these troubles, they are the objects of trouble, but for us, we need them. And the other side needs us too. For example, Cao Cao. Cao Cao has a good impression of us, they have a good impression of our weapons, economy, military system, etc., he is absorbing and learning our things in an all-round way, this is a good impression, but at the same time we can't see that he is too powerful. In addition to this, we also need to note that we need more markets, and we need to be in a state of suppressing each other economically, and suppressing each other can put us in more advantage. Our military spending will become more sufficient, and the problems that can be solved will become very many. Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu nodded and recorded this. The warlord leaders of the Kwantung Coalition Army had not yet realized the changes in the strategic pattern, and Shangwu had already begun to make strategic arrangements. And the occupation of Luoyang is only an important link. This is the biggest capital of the Republican Army.

"Cao Cao is indeed a very good choice, he has the ability, he also has the motivation to learn, his ability is enough to expand our economic area, and the economic order is guaranteed. At the same time, the two sides were able to strengthen learning exchanges. It was also an important buffer zone directly against the Kwantung coalition forces. Shang Wu said.

"But we also need to prevent the other side from being too strong." Jia Xu reminded.

"So, our market also needs to go south." Shang Wu said.

"Jingzhou?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yes, maybe further. That's what we should be aware of. Shang Wu said. The rudiments of the strategic layout have been formed.

"However, the current issue is still focused on how to expel the Kwantung coalition forces." Shang Wu said.

"With regard to the issue of the northern and southern fronts, I think it is necessary for us to set up a command of the former enemy. It is necessary to coordinate the combat situation on the two fronts in the north and south to carry out operations. Jia Xu proposed.

"Well, you can do that. But we need to get there as soon as possible. Shang Wu said. Jia Xu nodded yes.

Zhang Liao battle group. Gao Shun's burden suddenly became very heavy, and he had a company of troops. There are only a dozen veterans who have been able to fight, and there are more than two hundred and fifty people who have never fought before.

"After you go down, you will take on the position of squad leader and platoon leader. We must get acquainted with your soldiers as soon as possible, and do not engage in confrontation, we are one unit, and if we fight in the future, only by relying on us can we avoid greater dangers. You know? Gao Shun said solemnly to those who had fought with more than a dozen people.

"Yes, sir." The veterans said one after another.

"I'll oversee you. Don't take it easy, the war is not over yet, and there is, mingle with them. Gao Shun said. Then he disbanded. In order to unite, Gao Shun took out his own salary, Gao Shun didn't know that he still had so much military salary, and he had always been not optimistic about these things. In this regard, his solution is very simple, take it out and spend it.

Gao Shun decided to change some meat to eat and add some delicious food to his company, which would be inspiring. At the same time, get along with the soldiers as soon as possible.

The reason why Gao Shun has such a change is because in the teaching, some psychological things are mentioned, the instructors not only teach tactics as simple, but also teach some basic things, such as, how to unite soldiers, find some small contradictions among soldiers, solve these contradictions, and unite more people, so as to make their situation better.

Gao Shun understood. Those militiamen came from the north bank of the Yellow River, and the reason for joining the army was simple: to repay the favor. Many people were even kicked out by their own fathers and mothers, and they did this in large part because the IRA did things so well for them.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of the people to join the army is very high.

The republican army has a lot of logistical supplies, and they are never short of food and use, but it seems that military uniforms cannot be guaranteed for the time being. Because of the ammunition, food is the first priority, and the rest, for the time being, is not taken care of.

In addition to getting more meat, Gao Shun also got something good, wine.

"Lads, raise the bowl in your hand." Gao Shun said with a smile that this can make the soldiers feel a great sense of intimacy.

"This first bowl of wine, to you young lads, for coming to the 7th Infantry Company. I believe that this company is definitely the first infantry company in the entire independent brigade, and we will always be invincible. Gao Shun said.

"The 7th Infantry Company is dry. Dry. The crowd drank the wine from their bowls.

The wine is strong. Many people are not used to it and cough incessantly, but they still drink it in one go. It was a very painful feeling, and they all now had an urge to go to the battlefield and shock the past all at once.

Gao Shun wants this kind of effect.

However, there is not too much alcohol, and besides, it is not suitable for drinking too much alcohol on the battlefield. Alcohol is not too forbidden in the Republican army. However, when fighting, there will be stricter restrictions, mainly to prevent a greater degree of confusion.

Gao Shun likes that kind of mellow wine, very strong, but he likes it very much.

What Gao Shun didn't know was that they were drinking alcohol. Alcohol mixed with water after the wine, because less water is added. The intensity is very sufficient. The main reason is that the strength of the wine in the current era is seriously insufficient.

Most of the alcohol delivered by the Republican Army to the front was alcohol. Part of it is used for disinfection. Part of it is used for soldiers to drink, which can stimulate soldiers to be more motivated to fight.

But those who like wine will never be without these things. The wine that was issued could never satisfy them, and the only way for them to do so was to steal it. Stealing is the best way to go.

For example, the lawless nomadic soldiers of the North, who were the most ferocious fighters of the Republican Army, but they always fought in small groups and not in large groups. But they were indeed very brave.

They always get more loot and greater results when they fight abroad.

Zhang Liao had been sending them to the front line, to the rear, and to the places where they thought they could launch an offensive.

Kwantung Coalition Army. Inside Cao Cao's military camp. A little farther in front of them, there was the place where the Kwantung coalition was based.

"The front report said that several attacks launched by the coalition forces were unsuccessful, including Sun Jian's attack on the republican defense line on the southern front, which was also unsuccessful, and the republican army did not know where and what kind of promise was given to the people of Luoyang, and the republican army suddenly increased the strength of more than two infantry regiments, and the original weak defense line was filled in by the republican army. Sun Jian's losses were relatively large. Xi Zhicai pointed out on a simple map.

"It seems that the Republican defense line is constantly strengthening, and we simply cannot break through the opponent's defense." Cao Cao said.

"Yes, exactly, and that's very bad for us. If the Republicans had gathered more forces, they would have launched a larger offensive, especially on the northern front, where the Republican supply lines had not been cut off and could be quickly replenished through the pontoon bridges over the Yellow River. In such a situation, the main direction of our offensive is on Luoyang, and behind it, it is completely impossible to withstand the frantic attack of the Republican Army, as long as one attack. We can't withstand the crazy attacks of the opponent at all, and it will be very difficult for us. Xi Zhicai said.

Cao Cao nodded. But they can't do anything about it. They don't have the power, they don't have the power to change the situation on both sides, what else can they do in such a situation.

The Kwantung coalition was bound to fail. That's what they're facing.

The war is going to get very crazy. This is what Cao Cao knew. War will be much more beneficial to them at any time.

The defeat of the Kwantung coalition may have been a good thing for Cao Cao, but they would never get there in Luoyang. The situation is no longer going to change. Cao Cao accepted such a fact.
