"What is this?" When Uncle Zhang was at a military station, he heard the passionate military music of the military band. The tone of the military music is different from the past, and it sounds very cheerful. This is the tune of "Yankee Song".

"Oh. It's a hillbilly tune, playing the tune of our Republican Army. A lieutenant came over and explained. They are working on the transfer of troops. Large quantities of supplies continue to be hoarded to the front. The continuation of their work means that the war is not over.

"Hillbilly?" Uncle Zhang was puzzled.

"Oh, speaking of our republican army's tunes, our republican army is from the countryside, and we have never seen the world, in that case, why can't we have our own tune. Therefore, this kind of tone is our own tune. Our future is to fight. The other party said.

"Oh. But it's a nice tune, it's good. Uncle Zhang said.

"No, I have the strength to hear it. The pace is all in tune. One of the people next to him said. The marching bands heading north were unknown to them, and their marching music suddenly became advantageous. Because they feel like they have an inexhaustible amount of energy all over their bodies. They marched vigorously southward toward the south. They feel that, listening to this tune, they are going to enter a whole new era.

Fifty miles east of the southward passage of these refugees, one company after another was rapidly moving north, their goal being true. They were units of the 2nd Infantry Division, and they also quietly joined the battlefield. Because the infantry division is a company, a company quietly put into the combat area, so, for such an important news. The Montenegrin thieves, as well as the officers and soldiers, did not know such news. Because joining an infantry division means that the situation on the battlefield will change dramatically. Unfortunately, many people don't pay enough attention to the IRA, or their reconnaissance power can't reach the IRA.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"The 2nd Infantry Division has secretly set off. Some of them are also specially camouflaged. No one knew that they had secretly gone north. Jia Xu took a telegram and said to Shang Wu.

"Hmm. Very well done. The part of the Black Mountain thieves who defended in the Zhending area? "Shang Wu is working on some reports on the economic aspect.

"White winding department. About 30,000 people. There are quite a few people. In addition to that, the place to the north is the Ministry of Poison. About 10,000 people were engaged in the transition to their combat area. Jia Xu said. Shangwu took the map and looked at it.

"The 2nd Infantry Division alone, the 4th Infantry Division has not yet had a greater military force to solve such a thing. We also have to give them some firepower superiority. Shang Wu said, putting the map aside.

"What do you mean?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu.

"Gather the teaching group and go up. Let them fight. The regiments were equipped with new rifles, and in addition to that, they had more artillery. The only way to compress their encirclement is to strengthen the artillery. Shell them with artillery. Shang Wu said.

"That's fun. Their situation will be much easier. Jia Xu said with a smile.

"A bandit is a bandit. If it weren't for the imperial suppression, we would probably have dealt a sustained blow to them. But it doesn't do us much good. We can't keep attacking them at the moment. Shang Wu shook his head and said.

"Is it a food problem?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu.

"Yes. Food, if we have enough food, we can go on the offensive, but taking more land means more people. The population is causing food pressure, and we are currently eating high-priced food. When food prices fall, all the problems can be solved. Shang Wu said.

"How's the situation in Hedong going?" Shangwu asked.

"There is no news yet. After all, the communication situation was very bad, even though we sent two groups of observers. But if we want to launch a larger offensive at once, we need to give them a lot more support. Jia Xu said.

There is only Guo Taibu in Hedong. They only have a numerical advantage, but if they want to completely defeat the official army, their assistance is still not enough.

"Hmm. When this war is over, see how our production is, in short, after upgrading. We can replace them on a large scale, and we can support them with the weapons that have been withdrawn. That is, to give it to them. Shang Wu said.

"Give it to them?" Jia Xu looked at Shang Wu and asked.

"Yes. Give it to them, that's all. After all, our weapons and equipment are not very advanced at present, and weapons like arquebuses do not meet our current situation, and there is only one way. Shang Wu said.

"Send these weapons out and upgrade them. At the same time, because the potential enemy has a large increase in military power. It will have a competitive effect on our military technology, and under the pressure of competition, we can do many, many things. Shang Wu said.

"I don't know what you think. But there are also officers and soldiers, their military resources are much more than ours, and under such circumstances, we simply cannot proceed. Jia Xu said worriedly. Military technology, in fact, is the core competitiveness of a country and a region, which involves all aspects. on this. Jia Xu had a clear understanding. That is, military technology involves the issue of education. If a region does not invest much in education, it can have big consequences. What Jia Xu is worried about is that the imperial court has too many advantages in military resources in this area, and such an advantage will allow them to occupy more and more advantageous resources, so in this case, their competitive advantage is not very large.

"I know what you're worried about, what you're worried about is that the investment from the imperial court will be greater. Is that right? Shang Wu asked.

"Yes. After all, the resources at the disposal of the imperial court are not comparable to us, and in such a situation, can we still fight with them. I can't say it well. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. I think your comparison is flawed. First of all, we should compare the level of education between the two countries. Shang Wu said.

"I researched the educational institutions of the imperial court and found that most of their education was focused on management, or rather, more on theory. The study of literature, for the study of technology, that is, the study of science, is almost zero. Shang Wu said.

"What do you mean?" Jia Xu asked.

"If you compare it, you can see that such a result, technology, is not something that Confucian scholars can study. Although we are based on craftsmen, the imperial court may have mastered more artisan skills in comparison. But their motivation is not very high. The important thing is that they lack enough motivation to make them unable to actively research more things, while we can set up corresponding researchers, have corresponding technical guarantees, and if there is a team, the success of research will be based on a huge number of weapons. In this case, it will have a big impact on technology. This kind of impact is definitely not something we can figure out, so in this situation, we still have a great advantage. In such a situation, we can do many, many things. Shang Wu said.

"And on the court side, although they have too many craftsmen. But these craftsmen can't play a role, so that their advantages don't expand further, and in this way, their advantages don't develop, which is for us. It is an advantage, as long as we Jia Xu give full play to such an advantage, it is the beginning of our ability to solve all problems. Shang Wu said with confidence.

"I couldn't agree more." Jia Xu nodded and said. After Shang Wu's analysis, Jia Xu had some confidence, which came from their attention to the craftsmanship of craftsmen.

The accumulation of military technology on the part of the imperial court was passive, relying on the innovation of the craftsmen themselves, which had no positive meaning and took a long time to develop, thinking that no one paid attention. So their situation is not too good. But. With the development of some circumstances. However, the base area has such an advantage. Their strengths are mainly focused on the formation of their strengths.

Education in the base area is very pragmatic, that is, learning can bring wealth to oneself. Bringing the advantage of positive status, many craftsmen found their own value, and they began to actively innovate, not only for wealth, but for the embodiment of their own value. More and more people enter the school to study in such an atmosphere, and their intelligence is constantly improving. The quality of officers is also constantly improving.

In contrast, the educational institutions of the imperial court were not competitive enough. They lack effective competition. Despite the fact that they seem to be elite. However, the things they learn don't seem to be very big in a practical sense, and in that case, their situation becomes disadvantageous. That's where they are.

It looks like the imperial court has a greater advantage. But in fact, whoever can quickly transform these resource advantages into their own advantages will be able to gain advantages in round after round of competition. Apparently. In terms of competitive advantage in education. Shangwu has accumulated more competitive advantages for the base areas, such advantages. It will allow them to develop more advantages. So, Shangwu is not afraid of them. Opposite. They already have a technological advantage, and this advantage is extremely beneficial to them.
