In Lijiazhuang, the War Department, the small conference room, in fact, is the living room of the West Wing, and many ministers can't find their seats, so they can only sit on small benches.

"There are more and more horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, but the traffic situation is very bad, especially in Handan, which is simply the hardest hit area. When the road was already designed, we had widened it a lot, but the problem was that such a situation still appeared, and a wide range of traffic jams appeared, not only in Handan, but also in various important traffic passages, traffic jams still appeared, and the gendarmes continued to strengthen traffic dredging, on Highway 3. A hundred miles of mountain roads, which we used a company of gendarmes to dredge, were still often blocked. This is not a good situation. What would happen if a large-scale war broke out? Our losses will become extremely disadvantageous, and the losses in military logistics will be very large. This is definitely not a situation that we need to see. The Minister of Transport said with great concern.

Shang Wu was as silent as ever, and he kept writing something in his notebook with charcoal. Many ministers don't have to look at Shang Wu's face at all, they can say whatever they have any problems.

The development of factories brings the prosperity of commodities, followed by the development of trade, and trade brings huge transportation and logistics, the republican army registered more than 300 vehicle manufacturing plants, they are distributed in Jizhou Taihang East foothills, Handan, Luzhou, even Hedong have a large number of assembly plants, the popularity of vehicles is quite fast. Coupled with financial help, the unprecedented development of vehicles, the wheelbarrow is being eliminated on a large scale, and with it comes the popularity of horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, which are the dividends of the war.

Because the military needed a lot of logistical supplies, after the end of the war, the development of trade led to the development of the logistics industry. According to the data released by the vehicle manufacturers, the Republican Army has built 150,000 vehicles, and it is estimated that this number will quickly increase to about 500,000 in the coming year. This is an extremely staggering figure, which means that the IRA will basically make it possible for each family to have a four-wheeled vehicle, of course, it is not excluded that some of them will be exported, as well as special purposes, mainly focused on agriculture.

With the massive increase in vehicles comes the problem of traffic pressure.

Although the first roads of the Republican Army were two-lane in both directions. It was then widened to four lanes in both directions. The mountain road map is just a two-way three-lane road. Since it was not possible to widen it further, it was only improved to widen the emergency lane. But these are useless, the vehicle manufacturing, the development speed is too fast, and the relevant traffic rules, traffic management personnel are slow to invest, which brings a very serious problem.

Traffic accidents, traffic jams, and traffic chaos arise in a series of problems.

In the past three months, horse-drawn carriages have caused more than 3,000 traffic accidents in Handan, with more than 200 deaths and a staggering 500 traffic injuries. Traffic jams often occur, so to speak, from the moment people enter the city, they occur frequently, after all, no one can control the randomness of animals such as horses and cows. On top of that, the sanitary condition of the roads is very bad. Cow dung, horse dung was everywhere, and the whole road was stinky. People simply don't want to walk in the middle because there is feces all over the sole. It's disgusting, and despite the fact that their cleaning team hires a large number of people to clean it, the situation is basically unchangeable.

The Minister of Transport has come up with a lot of data to illustrate the poor and even the detrimental effects of the traffic situation. But even this cannot change a new situation. That's when the vehicle is a big nuisance.

"If we don't come up with measures to rectify it, once the war breaks out, the mobilization capacity of materials will be greatly reduced, although our vehicles have been greatly improved in terms of load and transportation, but these simply cannot meet such needs, which is a huge disaster for us, and this is not at all what we need." So said the Minister of Transport.

Most people agree with this. If you don't manage it, you can't do it. But how to manage, how to control the cost of management, and simply adding the appropriate personnel obviously cannot fundamentally solve such a problem.

"The solution is to get a license plate, take pictures of all the wagons, ox carts and other vehicles, and register them. This makes it easier to manage. In addition to this, the relevant police officers have been set up to correct traffic conditions. The Minister of Transport said. There are more and more horse-drawn carriages, and ordinary people have them, and if you don't register for a photo, it's easy to do so, so don't expect people to instinctively obey the traffic.

In fact, in the event of a traffic accident, many people choose to hit and run, after all, the responsibility is too great.

"In addition, all localities should enact traffic laws as soon as possible. Restrain illegal traffic behavior. The Minister of Transport said. Shang Wu recorded it, and Shang Wu felt that he could directly follow the traffic rules of later generations, so that there was no need for large-scale investigations. Make reports, research, and then constantly revise the relevant laws.

Of course. The Minister of Transport has not done a very good job. For example, the real cause of traffic jams is not the number of vehicles, but in fact, the stoppage of vehicles, they may stop on the side of the road, and a certain period of stagnation leads to a decrease in road traffic, which is extremely bad in such a situation.

The IRA should also focus on practical needs. The construction of more parking lots, in this way, can effectively relieve the pressure on traffic. In short, in the process of development, they will have many similar problems, and they need to constantly improve the relevant legal rules, otherwise, the lack of order will lead to greater chaos.

and state.

"Brother Ersheng, I'm hungry." Niu Wazi said weakly. When Ersheng heard this, his stomach also made a rumbling sound. There was no way, they hadn't eaten properly for two days. They just ate some wild vegetables and drank some spring water. Sadly, the families of the powerful landlords attacked them, and Ersheng and Niu Wazi had no way to return to the camp where they lived to eat their rice. Because it's already smashed there.

The family is a private arm. They were armed with all the weapons they could equip except for their lack of armor, bows, crossbows, spears, and ring-headed knives, which were all elite weapons. That's scary.

They also tried to find a similar team to join them, but unfortunately, the small teams were quickly defeated.

There is a huge disparity between the weapons and forces of the two sides, and the family members are all some extremely vicious people, and some of them are Jiangyang thieves. They are extremely fierce. There was no mercy at all in the fight. It's very powerful, even, it makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Many of the teams they had encountered before were knocked out at once. A considerable number of people simply could not bear such a situation and were killed.

Ersheng and Niu Wazi can only keep running for their lives, which may be the beginning of their tragic fate.

Hunger and disease can kill them at any time. Ersheng felt the threat of death.

"Bear with me. We'll have something to eat. Ersheng said helplessly. In the mountains, how could they find food, and they might be attacked by wild beasts at any time. After all, they've seen too many wolves gnawing on fallen corpses on the side of the road. Human life is sometimes worse than grass on the side of the road. It's a chaotic time.

"Sniff. Brother Ersheng, it's so fragrant. Good flavor is the taste of broth. Niu Wazi said excitedly, maybe she was too hungry. In other words, in many cases, they themselves have some situation of one kind or another, and in some of these situations, they are still very dangerous. target

"Who are you?" At that moment, two men came out of the jungle, carrying firearms and a ring-headed knife at their waists. The second life wants to run and doesn't know what to do.

The two of them were so frightened that they couldn't even speak.

"Outcasts?" One person asked. The second student just nodded blankly. He felt that he might be arrested or killed. The second life is ready to die.

"Come with us." One of them took the lead, and then led them to the campfire. There was a cauldron with the smell of meat wafting from it. There is also some horse meat on the side. It looks like they killed a horse.

"Come on, drink some broth. Warm up. A man said, waving. Ersheng and Niu Wazi looked at each other, and their stomachs were already growling.

No matter what, the two of them picked up the big bowl and drank it, anyway, they were full. They don't think much about it either.

"Drink slowly. There's still some to eat, don't choke. One person said. The second life doesn't care about everything and eats it in a big gulp, anyway, it's good that they can eat enough, as for the rest, they don't care too much, after all, some of these situations have little actual relationship with them, and such situations are the most unfavorable result for them.

That's the way it is, and it's much better for them.

Ersheng and Niu Wazi kept eating this, anyway, they were full, what they didn't know was that they encountered a guerrilla group organized by the Republican Army, and they gathered a few small groups of armed forces nearby, and then united. Ersheng and Niu Wazi joined in the name of drinking soup, anyway, for them, following the big team is to eat and drink. Being able to live, if you can't eat enough, it's meaningless.
