Lieutenant Wang Shan and Sergeant Zhang Shan were handed over by Cao Jun to the Republican Army to deal with.

They were the two pilots after the previous Republican airship crash.

Although it was unpleasant at first, for example, they were beaten by the opposing soldiers, but fortunately, they were all skin injuries that did not pose any threat to their lives.

Later, they received great preferential treatment in the Cao Jun barracks, for example, the food was equivalent to the treatment of officers, and the accommodation was much better, at least they did not feel very cold. Of course, there were great restrictions on freedom, but they also carried forward the optimism of the Republican Army, for example, by telling stories to their Cao soldiers who guarded them, interesting things they heard, and their lives there. Cao Jun was very interested in this.

Because the treatment of the IRA is completely different from what they encounter on their side, it is easy for them to develop a lot of interest, and this interest can make them much more advantageous. That's where they are now.

However, soon, as the situation of the battle changed, the Republican Army advanced to the front line of the opponent's flank, seriously threatening the security of the opponent's flank, and then the Kwantung coalition army quickly retreated. Only then did they have the opportunity to hand over to the Republican Army, which was the beginning of Cao Cao's cooperation with the Republican Army, which was only a starting point.

The exchange of prisoners of war was a very common thing for the warring parties. The Republican Army had a special idea of soldiers being prisoners of war. This can only be done as a last resort, and has lost the meaning of resistance.

Especially for soldiers with high-tech equipment, those are very valuable assets, after all. To train a qualified gunner, it takes an average of more than one hundred and fifty shells to do so. If a high-level gunner knocks out two gun barrels, more than 500 shells can do it. This also requires two rounds of specialized skills training.

The cost of training for soldiers and officers is obviously much higher than that of Cao's soldiers.

Therefore, once the Republican Army loses these valuable technical talents, it will be a loss in the real sense. So, on the issue of prisoners of war, the IRA did not dwell on it. Unless a large number of such talents can be quickly cultivated to replace them, the loss will not be affordable for the Republican Army.

It was precisely because of this that Cao Cao dared to rescue the Republican prisoners of war and hand them over to the Republican Army, because in this way, the Republican Army had a great diplomatic impression of Cao Cao.

The war is in the process of being swept away. With the retreat of the Kwantung coalition forces, everything is recovering.

The Kwantung coalition army dropped a lot of supplies. The Republican soldiers seized a lot of loot, armor, weapons, books, and all sorts of other things. There were also many prisoners of war, and many of them did not know how to go back and had to surrender in batches.

At the time of the offensive on the Northern Front. The southern front also launched a local offensive, but the scale was not very large, and most of it was maintained at the level of an infantry battalion.

Cao Ang's infantry company was temporarily resting, and as a reserve, they were now a little tired.

"Although we were a little tired, the main thing was that we had been tasked with teaching before. The professor had just formed the unit and some training, and then we took part in some sorties, following the retreating Kwantung coalition forces on the attack. That's a technical job, we can't attack directly from the rear of the opponent, we can only attack from the flanks, ambush in advance, attack the opponent, which requires us to constantly surpass them. So, we run a lot. Cao Ang said. Many soldiers took off their bulky boots and said. The weather has turned hot, and spring has arrived. But their uniforms are still bulky military overcoats. The same is true of military boots, which are filled with a lot of wool to cope with the cold season, but now, the soldiers are getting extremely bad.

The overheated weather makes it easy for soldiers to wear out their physical strength. The same is true of military boots, the Republican Army relies on the foot boards of the infantry to pursue, and the military boots they were originally equipped with were used to fight in winter, so as to keep warm to the greatest extent. But now, when the weather gets hotter, it's the biggest liability.

"Our uniforms, our boots became our biggest obstacle, at noon we could not attack at all, and when we marched to a certain place, we needed more water. Thirst kept us from moving forward, and at worst, a large number of prisoners of war. Probably because the POWs knew that the Republican Army did not kill people and did not execute at will. As a result, a large number of prisoners of war, including many people, took the initiative to surrender, for no other reason, we are here to eat. We still have 150 men in our company, but we have more than 700 people in our custody. The craziest thing is that there is an infantry company, which has accepted the surrender of more than two thousand people, and this pressure can be imagined. It is not only the military uniforms on our bodies that block our progress, but also the prisoners of war, and how to deal with these prisoners of war, the commanders are also extremely troublesome, after all, no one would think of such a problem, besides, many people do not want to fight, many people just want to eat. And we had to use military rations to meet their food needs. This is a relatively big problem for us. Cao Ang recorded it. These prisoners of war are all from the Central Plains, they are the same as themselves, and they speak the Central Plains dialect, so they naturally have to be treated differently.

These are the biggest problems encountered by the southern front, but Luoyang is still unable to deal with such problems, because their supply lines have just been solved, and the high food prices have slowly dropped a lot, and the problem of prisoners of war is still very large.

Shuanglin Town. Shang Wu and Jia Xu are still dealing with some things in the management system.

"I don't think it's a full rollout of our state system yet." Jia Xu said.

"The main reason is that the local county system also plays a role, and people are more likely to get used to these places, for example, in places like Zezhou, where they still write the name of the county seat. If we force it, we will encounter resistance, and these resistance is completely unnecessary, and the most important thing for us at the moment is to solve the management problem. Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu nodded. He didn't express his opinion, which was a habit of Shangwu, and he was used to making decisions after careful consideration.

The current management system of the Republican Army is a state, city, and township system, to put it bluntly. The central point is the city and the urban and rural areas. For the countryside such a foundation. The IRA does not manage very much. The benefit of this is that it accelerates urbanization. In the past, the counties were relatively even, and they were all distributed according to agriculture, so the management method was obviously backward and could not adapt to the development of urbanization and industrialization.

Immediately, the Republican Army changed this situation, and the city developed first, for example, Huguan, and Huguan South District developed more favorably, because there were a large amount of coal and iron ore resources. As long as it is actively developed, a large industrial city will be formed, and a large number of people will be attracted to the area.

The population of several surrounding counties was quickly concentrated in a certain area, which weakened the management of the county seat. It has strengthened the city and provided sufficient labor guarantee for the development of the city.

At the same time, the Republican Army is also strengthening the townships, which is for more land in the countryside, and the centralized management of the population strengthens the rural management model. This approach is extremely advantageous.

Because this satisfies the needs of the population for industrialization, as well as the development needs of the concentrated agricultural population.

But in newly controlled Hanoi, this situation is extremely inappropriate. The reason is simple, because there is no industry, the development of local resources is not clear, and the main economic development is still agriculture. Although the war brought some other industries, such as transportation, the rest of Hanoi's labor force was done for this. Many families buy their own ox carts, or make their own ox carts to run transportation. Very few do some business on trade.

But the industrial park has not been established, because there is no industry, it is impossible to concentrate more labor, so the original management model is still necessary, on the contrary, if they move too much at once, it is not beautiful, because many things, will make some of the original balance, suddenly become unfavorable, this is the current situation they are encountering, in such a situation, this will cause them a great disadvantage.

Therefore, Jia Xu took into account some specific circumstances, so he did not recommend Shangwu to do this, after all, this is not a good thing for the Republican Army.

"I agree to do so." Shang Wu finally decided.

"Maintain some of the old situation for the time being, after all, the situation in Hanoi is very special, this is an agricultural area, if we follow the industrial thinking, I am afraid it will become extremely disadvantageous, besides, there is a Luoyang nearby, Luoyang is very attractive, it will attract the surrounding labor force to Luoyang, if we build an industrial zone here. So, how does Luoyang develop? This will become extremely unfavorable to the future development of Luoyang, and we must develop Luoyang, not create trouble for Luoyang. Shang Wu said.

"Well, in this case, what should we do in Luoyang?" Jia Xu asked this question.

"Just like Handan, Luoyang is positioned as a special economic zone and given the greatest economic preferential treatment, we are currently restoring Luoyang, and on the basis of Luoyang's economic recovery, we will expand again and give full play to Luoyang's greatest efficiency." Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu nodded, agreeing with this point, because this point is a very important point for the Republican Army, and without such a point, their development problems will become more difficult to do much.
