The reason why Luoyang's telegram was terminated was because some thieves had their eyes on the telegraph line. A lot of the time. They didn't know anything about the telegram. But what they knew was that there was copper in the telegram, and that the longer the cable they gave, the longer the copper wire, which was an opportunity to make a fortune, and the government did not stop such behavior in time, so this happened often. The erected cable line is still along the official road. If the official road is in a no-man's land, it is the area where the theft of cables broke out, and a large number of thieves are concentrated there.

Therefore, it is natural that such things as cables being cut happen from time to time. This is not to blame others. After all, cable maintenance is also a big expense.

The Republican Army relied on the local militia to strengthen propaganda, but the imperial court never explained this. And the attraction of copper is very large. It's just a free giveaway.

Therefore, even if the imperial court has cables, but helplessly, their cables are always cut by thieves. This is the situation of their law and order, and such a situation is not to blame others.

Luoyang, Beijing. Cao Cao is finally back.

Looking at the majestic city wall of Luoyang, he felt that something seemed to be wrong there, probably because he was used to the freedom and liveliness of Handan. Active. Although the city wall gave him such a sense of majesty and magnificence, in fact, such a feeling made Cao Cao feel a sense of estrangement. Yes, behind the majesty is the beginning of the dilapidated Luoyang, a closed and self-centered capital. The walls blocked everything.

He remembered what the Republican Army newspaper said that the walls had collapsed. The people are free. The walls of Luoyang are still there, but their hearts have collapsed.

Now, Cao Cao feels like that.

Entering Luoyang, the capital of the capital, it seems that some of them are orderly, but they are full of majesty, a majesty of a high concentration of imperial power. The people here deal with it carefully all the time, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven. After Cao Cao entered, he felt a sense of depression, yes, aggrieved, if he could, he would still be willing to go to the Republican Army, where there were no walls, no majesty, and the simplicity of human nature. Cao Cao felt very uncomfortable.

What Cao Cao probably didn't know was that it wasn't that he was uncomfortable, but that he was having trouble adapting to such a new situation, because he was used to the Republican Army. And suddenly after coming back. Naturally, he was not used to it. Coupled with his series of practices, it is naturally difficult to continue, so, in such a situation, many things, in fact, become extremely unfavorable, if such a situation can be changed, their situation may be able to have a better development, but unfortunately, such a number of things are destined not to let Cao Cao change so smoothly.

Luoyang, inside the South Palace.

"This damn telegram. Whoever steals my cable will be killed. Emperor Han Ling said angrily. His telegrams sometimes stopped at every turn. Why, there was no reaction, at first he thought it was a problem with the telegraph, and angrily scolded the Republican Army for being a bunch of profiteers, indeed, they were many times. It's all like that. But now, he knew what was going on. So, he gave such an order directly.

In fact, what was even more depressing was Zhang Rang, who was still thinking about speculating a few handfuls and making money from a mansion. But the telegram is not powerful at all, and it often drags you down, and sometimes, he himself feels, very annoyed, but there is no way, the cable is made of copper wire, what is copper, money, a lot of copper money. They don't know how the IRA managed to do this, but the only way to get there without being cut off is to watch and then kill. Kill without mercy, this is the simplest, crude solution.

Does it just work as simple as this? No one knows, but Mr. Zhang thinks it might work.

Emperor Han Ling was anxious about the telegram. But there is no way to be in a hurry, and the maintenance of cables is not a simple thing to complete. Even if it is re-laid and repaired, it will take a long, long time, maybe two days, maybe longer. The wait is long.

Hedong, Republican Army recruit training camp.

Today is the happiest day for Chow Da, because they have finally fired their guns. A group of veterans was sent away. In fact, they are still new recruits in the eyes of the combat troops, but for them, they are veterans.

The muskets issued to them were flintlock muskets, that is, Republican second-class III rifles,

The so-called first class is actually an old-fashioned arquebus, and the number behind it represents an improved model. Of course, there is another series of numbers that represent the date of manufacture of the musket and the associated manufacturer. This is all important information about the musket, with which they can always get to the root of the problem.

After discovering the guns, many soldiers had to carefully touch the guns, and the guns were as careful as their women. There was some oil on it, the flintlock pistol was very well maintained, and the bayonet was very good. Putting the cheek raiser on the **, as if they had a pillow when they were sleepy, made them feel very happy. It was a situation that made them feel very favorable, and in short, it was something they had to be happy to deal with.

"How?" The old horse came over and asked, he was also very excited, they finally didn't have to hold the wooden gun.

"Good. Good. Zhou Da said excitedly. To be honest, he was very excited, and with such a thing, he felt that the pride he had since he joined the army made them very happy.

"Hehe, I think so too. I just don't know when we're going to shoot the target. Shoot a shot, boom. Boom. The old horse exclaimed excitedly. That's the first thing a lot of recruits feel when they get a rifle, but for veterans, it's not an easy job. Because their training is going to go up a step, and what kind of step is going to go up that ladder? They don't know, either, but with muskets it's different. At least they have a certain combat ability, such a situation is a new challenge for them, if such a challenge can make them clearly aware of such a situation, he believes that he will do the same, after all, many things are a new situation that they must face.

Camp Wolf.

Zhao Laosan and Zhang Zhen looked at a report in their hands. A plan, to be exact.

"We're going to be promoted to the Wolves?" Zhang Zhen looked at the report in his hand and said.

"Yes, this was set by the brigade headquarters. I don't know how much it will be expanded, but our combat mission is not small, and it is said that this mission has become extremely different, and the above intends to let them participate in the battle. The additional soldiers will arrive in a while. Most are now in boot camps. It is estimated that after a period of running-in, there will be action. "When Zhao Laosan went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, he learned such news.

"But, our battle is a short board." Zhang Zhen said worriedly. Zhao Laosan knew very well that they were all directly promoted from company-level cadres, and they really didn't know how to fight at such a regimental level, and many times, they themselves didn't know whether they could achieve such an effect. They don't have such a view, and naturally they can't make such changes in some things.

"I know this, so, our regiment must establish a staff system, you, the chief of staff, must receive some learning, in short, many things will also be there, to be honest, I, Zhao Laosan, can command a regiment, more than 2,000 people, I also have pressure in my heart." Zhao Laosan said clearly. That's what he is. What to say.

"Well, okay, I'll try it, after all, such a thing can only come like this, at present we lack some officers, many troops are promoted young officers, and there are many officers from military academies, they all have vitality, to be a commander for such a person, to be honest, I also have pressure." Zhang Zhen said.

"I think you're scared. What are you afraid of, damn it, they fought in military schools. Fighting, damn it, this is fought, not learned. If I can learn, I, Zhao Laosan, will also learn. Zhao Laosan said this, in fact, he knew the ability of those officers, and he just got some advantages in words. In fact, he has no advantage at all, there is no way, such a situation, who dares to explain the situation like this.

The three brigades in Hedong began to be expanded, and they were expanded into three infantry divisions, and at the same time, some of the original combat units, such as artillery and engineering units, were also expanded, and after they were expanded, a new infantry corps would be formed. Such a combat unit is quite advantageous.

But there are also positive and negative sides, for example, the combat troops are mostly recruits. Combat experience has. But messy.

In addition, there is also a shortage of officers, many of whom are graduates of military academies, and they lack a certain amount of experience in leading troops. Once you encounter a combat mission, you will be blind in many cases. This is also a concern for these experienced officers of theirs. target

But they are worried that they will not be able to solve the problem at all, and the only thing they can do is to face such a situation and solve the problem.

Zhao Laosan and Zhang Zhen are facing such an emotion. It is a good thing that the troops have been expanded, but there will also be some worries about the expansion, and they are worried that they will not be able to fight. If you don't do things well, how to solve problems when you encounter them. They don't have a bottom in their hearts, they are all newly appointed officers. Suddenly becoming a regimental officer, they really have a lot of pressure in their hearts.

It's normal to have such stress once you get used to it. A new combat power will be formed.
