After a day and a half of travel, Zhou Da finally arrived at his assigned camp, the Wolf Regiment, the Seventh Infantry Company. He was assigned to a squad, the squad leader was a sergeant with a scar on his face, and Zhou Da was the eleventh member here. After a short introduction, he learned that more than half of the people in this infantry squad had come from the boot camp, but they had arrived some time earlier than him.
In this case, everyone is not very restrained.
"We all call him Sergeant Scar, he's been involved in a lot of tactics, we've seen him even have a second-class medal, he's a very experienced veteran." A companion said as he sorted out his housekeeping.
"Oh, that sounds good." Zhou Da said. He knows that veterans are much better than new recruits because they have a lot of experience, and sometimes it's good for veterans to take with them.
"It's good, but the veterans of our class said it too much. I know of other infantry regiments, and there will be half of the veterans, but in our class, there are only four people. Said my companion.
Zhou Da sounded surprised. The Wild Wolf Regiment is a new unit, there are not many people with combat experience, and the expansion of the army is too fast, which makes the proportion of his veterans drop a lot, which is the disadvantage of the new troops, because many places still need veterans to support, if they can't play a supporting role, the entire army will collapse instantly.
"Zhou Da. The squad leader called you. That's when his top bunk said. Zhou Da nodded. The sergeant asked him to follow him to the company headquarters to sort out some documents, but Zhou Da was puzzled, he didn't know why he did it. He's just a recruit.
Later, Zhou Da realized why, their company expanded too fast, the commander did not know many words, and the number of non-commissioned officers who knew words was also much less, and they had a lot of tasks, so they could only use recruits like him. Maybe that's how recruits are treated. After all, there are not many rules, they need to fight precipitation, it is just not known when they will have a combat mission. Zhou Da helped his commander sort out the documents, and if they couldn't organize the documents well, their company would not be able to function. This was Zhou Da's first feeling about the new company. Everything is new, and it seems that this company has not yet played well with the combat effectiveness it should have.
Li Jiazhuang, Shang Wu and Jia Xu conducted various studies within the War Department. In fact, in the surrounding area, there are still many departments that are constantly being established, and the Ministry of Finance and Economics has finally separated. They became two departments, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Finance is responsible for spending money, collecting money, and the Ministry of Economy is responsible for how to make more money. At the same time study their economic strategy. In addition, there is the Ministry of Banking and Finance, the Ministry of Transport. Ministry of Education, and so on. They all need a wide variety of departments to play their part.
And the War Department, each of their departments has to send a representative to be on duty here, because there is a need for them here, and they have to be mobilized at any time.
The War Department is the equivalent of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, as well as a complex in logistics. His jurisdiction is still very broad. This is also the reason why Shang Wu and Jia Xu often work here.
"This is a telegram sent to us by Zhang Rang this morning, and the issue in Hedong seems to have dragged on for too long." Jia Xu said. Zhang Rang had a greater relationship with the Republican Army.
For example, Zhang Rang is the buyer of a large number of local bonds, yes, local bonds, in order to encourage local economic development, a large number of local bonds are traded on the stock exchange, but these local bonds are not optimistic at the beginning, at this time the bank is in transition, for example, some banks with some investment nature, they are applying for relevant licenses, with such a license, they can do so.
Many businessmen and investors are cautiously looking at those local bonds, everyone knows that local bonds are a treasure of wealth, but too few people buy them. Many people are afraid of tying up a percentage of their own funds. So, at first, the state of local government bond sales was not very good.
Soon, however, the situation changed. The reason is that Zhang Rang sees a favorable opportunity in it, which is an opportunity to easily occupy a large amount of wealth, and Zhang Rang seems to be an investment master. Of course. He also has a talent for speculation, for example, he dares to buy some low-priced stocks. Sure enough, it went up. And now, he sees the value of those local bonds, and he can see why he did it by looking at the development of Handan. Because Handan can develop so well, naturally, he can also do such a thing, so their situation is the best situation, and it is the development of such a situation that makes their situation much more favorable. The IRA is vigorously developing the relevant development, and this development is still very fast, and in such a situation, they actually have a lot of things that can be done. This is the most advantageous place for them at the moment, as long as they do something like this, this situation will meet their needs at once.
Therefore, Zhang Rang bought a large amount of money from the stock market into these local bonds, and under Zhang Rang's leadership, local bonds became extremely popular, because some businessmen understood that the interest given by the bank was too limited. If you invest in bonds, it's a good investment. Guided by investment, local bonds have finally opened up the market.
Therefore, Zhang Rang and the Republican Army have the same goal, if the local development is not good. He buys a lot of bonds and loses them. This is a contradictory influence, and it is precisely this influence that Zhang Rang provided the Republican Army with a lot of information about the imperial court, and it can be said that Zhang Rang has come to the side of the Republican Army.
"Dong Zhuo's attack on the rebels has brought us some adverse effects, they have routed the rebels for more than a hundred miles, which makes the imperial court see the possibility of ending the rebel war, and at the same time, Dong Zhuo's victory makes the imperial court see the possibility of fighting against us. What I'm worried about is that after we provide Dong Zhuo with some weapons, they will turn around and attack us, and Ze Yuan's words will be very unfavorable to us. Jia Xu said.
Zhang Rang's intelligence is very clear, and the imperial court is represented by Jian Shuo. They think that the action is available, if the army that quelled the Xiliang rebellion is mobilized to deal with the republican army, their situation will become very favorable, the imperial court is using strong military force to tell the republican army, if they do not withdraw from the area east of the river, they will use military force to deal with it, and among them, especially Dong Zhuo's threat is the greatest, because they are the only cavalry unit equipped with firearms in the imperial court, and the cavalry is the shortcoming of the republican army, even if there is a cavalry regiment, But this does not mean that the cavalry problem of the Republican Army has been completely solved.
Jia Xu's worries have his own reasons, and Shang Wu has to consider such a reason. At the same time, they need to adjust many, many new states to deal with such a situation, and if this situation is not handled well, they may not reach such a level.
"Well, the key depends on Dong Zhuo. Can we convince him, after all, in a situation like this, if they do something to us, it will be very detrimental to his own future political future, and how much capital do they have to fight us? Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.
"There is a saying that if a man does not do it for himself, the heavens and the earth will perish. Dong Zhuo also has his own selfishness, if we can mobilize his selfishness, it is not that we have not persuaded the other party, but from where to persuade the other party? Shang Wu determined such a line of thinking, the Republican Army did not want to fight. At least at present, it is not possible to openly fight with the imperial court, and there is no problem in fighting, but if it is fought, it will set the republican army back 20 years, which is the most terrible, and it will take 20 years backwards, these are a series of situations that no one dares to do.
"Well, in this case, I think, on the one hand, we have to deter the other side, so that the other side can see that they attack us, which is a great disadvantage, this, I think, the cavalry must play their role, so that Dong Zhuo, and the imperial court can see more that we have the ability to raid from a distance, in this way, considering the actual situation, so that they dare not act, my suggestion is to attack the Xiongnu in Hexi. A sneak attack on them can be regarded as a support and state operation, and at the same time, the Hexi nest of the Huns is extremely empty, which is very beneficial to us. Jia Xu said.
"And when the court sees that we have such ability, they don't dare to move at will, and in such a situation, they will seriously consider talking to us." Jia Xu said.
"Hmm." Shang Wu thought it was very proper, for the simple reason that many favorable negotiations were conducted on the basis of fighting, and if they did not fight, it would be too unfavorable to the Republican Army.
"Another reason is that we are oppressing the Huns. If we can inflict heavy losses on the other side by sneak attack, and pose a greater threat to them, it will be extremely beneficial to us, and we can negotiate to get what we want, such as wool sweaters, horses, cattle and sheep, and meat trade with each other, and through the ever-expanding trade to increase our development, which is also a demand of our industry. Jia Xu said.
"Huh. This economic accounting, I think, you can sell the Huns. Shang Wu said as he stood up with a smile. Jia Xu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It seems that Jia Xu really sold Dong Zhuo and the Huns.
