Handan City, there are a lot of streets, more and more people gather here, and the whole suburb is constantly building new high-rises, because more and more people live here, they either carry out business activities here, or work here. In short, the population is getting bigger and bigger, and people from many areas are constantly congregating.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, are you here too?" In a long line in front of a bank, two middle-aged men met each other.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Li. You're going to buy some bonds, too? The surname Zhang asked.

"Yes, buy some bonds, I heard that this issue of bonds is mainly based on the Battle of Hexi as the object of dividends, you know, I am optimistic about our Republican Army." The surname Li said.

"Oh. I'm also optimistic, although the Huns are all cavalry, but our republican army also has cavalry, have you heard? The Republican Army had to form infantry on horseback, and in military terms, when they were maneuvering at high speed, they were cavalry, and when they arrived at the place of battle, they would dismount and fight and become infantry. In battle, speed, and the superiority of infantry firepower, such a situation is very advantageous for us. The man surnamed Zhang said.

"Oh, so I'll buy more. The imperial court does not have such an army, and we have an advantage in firearms, which will make our situation much more favorable. The other party said. A lot of people have decided to buy more again.

The cost of living in Handan is also increasing, for example, food and use all require money, and if you simply rely on salary to live, it is simply not enough. Investing, buying some bonds, increasing their salary, becoming the first goal of some people, this is a new business of the bank, selling the bonds they buy, earning the difference in the middle, this is also a new kind of business, and the profits brought by the business are also very considerable. So, more bonds are accepted by people because they need something like this to increase their economic situation, to improve their economic conditions, to make them the most favorable situation. That's the most favorable situation for them at the moment.

Hedong, in Pingyang County. There are always many, many people at the door of a newly established bank. Although the bank keeps providing tea, and even some soup. Cakes. This kind of service attitude has made more people want to spend time waiting here, and the bank is also actively making improvements.

"This bank, it's really good, when, let's borrow money, and this treatment." An old farmer and this soup, although the soup is not the previous broth, but it also solves the problem of their lunch meal, and moreover, there are not enough cakes, you can take a few more to eat, the old farmer never thought that there would be such a good thing.

"Old peasant. Why are you queuing? A small businessman next to him asked.

"I, my family, have been farming for generations, no, the policy of the Republican Army is good, it gave me a proof, and leased me a lot of land, more than 300 acres of land. Our family and neighbors have come to help with the farming. However, this kind of planting is not a thing, no, thinking, borrowing money, buying cattle, buying some good seeds, raising some chickens and ducks or something, in this case, our situation will be much better. The old farmer said this, and the old farmer was still shocked when he asked them to plant such land at once. However, what he knew was that this was the benefit of the Republican Army for them, and they should naturally accept such a thing, only in this way could they make their situation better like the same thing.

"Oh. I understand. You're a farmer now. The little merchant said with a smile.

"The farmer didn't dare to be a farmer, he just wanted to dig some food in the land. It is also strange to say that in the past, the imperial court paid money and grain for farming, but when it came to the side of the republican army, not only those of us who farmed the land did not have to pay much for food. And give us money, no, this is a land certificate issued by the county government, saying that with this, you can give me Lao'er, a large amount of money, to encourage my Lao'er to farm well. Has the way of the world really changed? The old farmer said.

There are too many changes in Hedong, and many people are changing, and they don't know that this is for the better. Or has it gone bad. But what they know is that they have a good life, and there are many laughing people on the streets. Looks like they're all in good spirits. I was able to eat enough. This should get better. However, the old peasants still have some worries, that is, it is a matter of course for them to grow land and pay for grain. But all of a sudden, he paid so much, which made him a little confused why, this is not a country, they are even worried that the republican army will not be able to hold it, and their sky will change.

"Hehe, old man, this is a good thing, this is the bank that makes us rich. This Republican Army, many places have cut taxes. It is to let us eat, do business, and make money. It's a good life. The little merchant said.

"I'm also doing some small business, no, I'm borrowing money, expanding some scale, making money, and paying it back to the bank." The other party said.

"But I don't understand. How can this republican army, without money and food, fight? I've just heard about it. It is said that our republican army has crossed the Yellow River, ran to the territory of the Huns, and beat those beasts fiercely. However, this, this has no money and food, how can you fight? Lao Er asked.

"This, mainly to buy bonds, is this thing in my hand, this thing, to buy. It is equivalent to, the Republican Army and the old man, you, sign a contract, you send the money to the Republican Army, and the Republican Army gives you interest on a certain date. If there is more, they will also give you dividends, and you will definitely earn more. You can take these bonds, mortgage them to the bank, take out another loan, buy all kinds of agricultural tools, ploughing cattle and so on. The small businessman gave a detailed introduction. Because of the long queues, which is the case with many banks, even though banks have increased their staffing. Helplessly, many people have come here. Perhaps the business of commercial banks is the most profitable. Because a lot of business is related to banks.

"Oh. I see, old man. This bond purchase is to support the Republican army to go to Hexi to fight, right? The old farmer asked.

"Yes, that's the truth." So says the small businessman.

"Oh. I'm a little old man, and I've lived a long time. I didn't expect that I would be able to catch up with such a good day in the end, and the days when I couldn't let my children and grandchildren go to school and have enough to eat are gone. I don't have any great skills, but I still have to buy this bond, not for anything else, this is also for our part. The old farmer said. When the people around them heard this, they all secretly made up their minds, and they also decided to buy more bonds, because only in this way can their situation be completely improved, and they did it for something, naturally for their good days, for the sake of their children and grandchildren, since this is the case, they naturally decided to buy more, so that it is also for their future.

Hedong is the newly controlled area of the Republican Army, but the eyes of the people are visible. They also took the initiative to buy bonds to raise more war funds for the Republican Army, and the people supported the Republican Army to fight the Battle of Hexi through such ordinary practices, not only in Hedong, Luzhou, Handan, etc., but also in many marginal areas, and more people participated, and even those big families decided to buy war bonds, because the Republican Army's victory had a lot to do with them, and the benefits of the war had a lot to do with them. They have become part of the IRA.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"The yield of the war bonds promoted by the Ministry of Finance is still relatively good, and in this way, it solves the problem of a large part of our military spending, which is a very beneficial action for us." Shang Wu said.

"Well, in this case, we are not very worried about our military expenses, at least the scale of their troops can be maintained to the establishment of two divisions." Jia Xu said. Obviously, they solved the problem of funding. However, it will take a lot of time to solve such a problem completely.

"My fear is that there are not enough troops. Ma Heng's telegram said that our cavalry unit had already taken military action by the time we sent the telegram. Their actions were very bold, attacking directly along an old road, and they decided to penetrate into the interior of the enemy, to go deeper into the enemy's depths, and the strength of one regiment was not enough. Shang Wu said.

Shangwu is still very calm, and the strength of a regiment is still too crazy. Even if you are equipped with firearms, the shortfall in your numbers is still very large.

Ma Heng had already said in the telegram that they had formed two new cavalry battalions to follow up quickly, hoping that they would be able to play some new role. At the very least, their condition is still very strong. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm." Shang Wu didn't say much, after all, he was still very clear about some things, let them use such troops to fight, in terms of time, it has greatly exceeded their combat expectations, after all, the cavalry behind is not counted at all, they can keep up with the cavalry team, it is already a very powerful action.

For this kind of operation, Shang Wu is very unconfident, after all, many of the factors under control are not in their hands, the scale of the operation is at the level of the regiment, how to fight, what kind of effect to achieve. Shangwu really didn't know how to explain such a situation. He can only wait for the result, and the final result will come out, no matter what it is, Shangwu can only accept it.
