"My eyes, my eyes are out of sight." A Confederate cavalry officer shouted loudly. The other officers were in the same situation, and even worse, they had fallen to the ground. Probably dead.

"Someone poisoned. Someone wants to poison us. The cavalry officer shouted loudly, and slowly he began to convulse and fall to the ground.

"Hurry up. This way, you platoon, that side. Zhang Liao shouted loudly. He led the gendarmerie to quickly rush into the cavalry camp and control the officers and non-commissioned officers. The gendarmes rushed in quickly, fell to the ground, checked it, and they would leave it alone. They don't know what's going on either. It is known that the smell of alcohol in the tent is very strong. Then there's the smell of vomiting. It feels weird, and there is no urge to drink anymore.

The gendarmerie was the most advantageous force for the Republican Army to control the Confederate forces, and most of them were people who joined the Confederates early and had obvious intentions to defect to the Republican Army, and they knew Chinese. Know the latest commands. Extreme allegiance to the republican military regime. They were treated much better than the average soldier, but they were the opposite of the average Confederate soldier. Especially those cavalry officers, non-commissioned officers.

In the eyes of the cavalry officers, the gendarmerie was a dog of the Republican Army, and there were many verbal clashes between the two sides, and there were many more physical clashes between the two sides. It can be said that the relationship between the two is that of the enemy, either you die or I live. The use of gendarmerie against cavalry is the most correct option.

The Confederate soldiers watched the gendarmerie numbly, and more than 500 people quickly rushed into the cavalry barracks, and no one resisted and no one fought. There was nothing but shouting in the camp, and it was impossible to tell why.

The gendarmerie soon blocked the cavalry battalion. A large number of officers have been poisoned. Even if you don't die, you will face symptoms such as blindness and convulsions. At the current level of medical care, they simply can't be cured.

Those who were not poisoned were also controlled by the gendarmerie, who put on hoods and secretly escorted them away.

Zhang Liao looked at the corpses on the ground, they struggled for a long time before they died, they were unwilling and helpless. But now, it's nothing. They simply can't cope with such a situation.

The IRA intelligence department sells in advance a good liquor specifically for cavalry officers, which is expensive, but has a large concentration. It was very much liked by the cavalry officers. The price is too high to filter out some Confederate soldiers, as well as officers, because their salaries will not be so high that they simply cannot afford them.

There are two types of wine, one is ethanol and no methanol. The other is methanol-blended wine. In order to ensure that they can be poisoned at the same time, the intelligence officers of the Republican Army specially disguised themselves as vendors, and for a certain period of time, they concentrated on the poisoning.

This also blames the officers of the cavalry team for not taking precautions. Because they drink a lot of alcohol. Even if the alcohol concentration is very high, they will not give up such an opportunity, they feel very happy, and this pleasure has brought them a lot of murder.

Almost overnight, a large number of cavalry officers were killed. A small number of survivors are also being held. The rest of the cavalry soldiers could not resist at all, they could only be concentrated.

In this way, the Republican Army, through the assassination of the intelligence services, took control of the nomadic cavalry in the north, and most importantly a large number of horses, numbering more than three thousand, on which the Republican Army could build its own horse farms, as well as cavalry units. This is extremely important for the IRA.

In this operation. Zhang Liao was very excited. Because the gains are very large, they will build a high-speed mobile force, although it will take some time, but this has shown that as long as the IRA wants, they can attack quickly, which is the biggest benefit of the IRA.

IRA intelligence.

"The operation is good, commend the relevant personnel, give them more commendation, and the follow-up report should be further submitted to the War Department." Xu Dou said after closing the document and handing it to the supervisor.

"Sir, there are some other things related to Luoyang." The Director continued.

Xu Dou nodded, indicating that he knew about it. On his desk, there are a lot of documents, for which these are important operations and plans of the intelligence service.

"Instigating the Luoyang garrison and effectively organizing the people to participate, the commander's order is very clear. But it takes some time to get organized. Moreover, with a higher level of organization, secrecy, and operational ability, we have to be in a state of latent until a military operation is launched. Xu Dou opened the file and said some key words.

"Sir, I personally think that this matter is not difficult." The director said.

"Oh. Why? Xu Dou asked curiously. For Xu Dou, this was an extremely difficult matter, and in order to collect a large amount of information about the Kwantung Coalition Army, the intelligence department transferred some people from Luoyang. And now, they need more people to organize these things, and that's it for him. It is an extremely difficult thing to organize, because there are too few people to carry out, and at the same time, it is necessary to keep secrets, as well as more weapons, organization, and training, so that those who participate in the people, all of a sudden, have a certain combat effectiveness. The Republican Army had never been organized like this before, and even Xu Dou once thought that they still needed a group of experienced training officers to enter it. After all, those people are ordinary people, they have never fought at all, and this is something that cannot be dealt with at all.

"Grievances. Sir. Dong Zhuo issued a large number of banknotes. The denominations of those banknotes were so large that they could not be circulated at all, and at the same time they were forcibly exchanged, which was an act of robbery. Not only that, but there are many more bonds, many businessmen have been robbed many times, most recently, they were forced to buy bonds. Dong Zhuo's army was able to rob more wealth at once with just a few simple, crudely printed pieces of paper. This is very bad for the people. Especially the merchants, they are extremely resentful, but they don't have the power, they can give us more help to do these things, and if needed, they may quickly organize a team. The Director said so.

"It seems that we are not lacking in the strength of popular support." Xu Dou said.

"Yes, sir, that's the way it is, our situation is very favorable, and we are able to carry out more operations, these are some of the most beneficial intelligence resources for us, and if we use them well, they can play a big role." The Director said.

"Well, that's right, build on that the intelligence network we need. and a network of organizations. I need them to play a bigger role. Jia Xu said.

"Understood, sir." The Director said.

Dong Zhuo's various behaviors have given great convenience to the Republican Army, and the people are generally dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, and they are also extremely unfamiliar with the Kwantung Coalition Army, and even have a distrustful attitude. The same is true for the IRA, but the advantage is that the IRA is able to move in a timely manner and organize effectively. Not only that, but there are many more merchant forces that will be in strong support.

They suffered heavy losses in the catastrophe of paper money and bonds, and many merchants suffered unprecedented bankruptcies. Many people are desperate.

And the policy of the Republican Army is to support the merchants, which makes the merchants have a great favor. In this way, the IRA has the basic strength to support it. Although the businessmen are often overlooked, the resources they control are also not to be underestimated, and more often than not, all they lack is an opportunity, and now the IRA needs them and needs them to play their part.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"We should set up a horse farm as soon as possible, and at the same time, use it as a base to prepare for negotiations with the north and resume trade, with a focus on the horse trade." Shang Wu said.

"Horses are very important for us to build a high-speed and mobile cavalry unit. We don't just need that, we need to spread the risk of being attacked. Jia Xu suggested at this time.

"Agree to do so. This matter will be left to you, not only that, but if necessary, it can be handed over to the merchants. We need a very large number of them, so they can be prepared for it. Shang Wu said.

The IRA continued to be dominated by artillery and infantry, although they were supplemented by other arms. However, it can be confirmed that they still fall short in maneuverability. This is why Shang Wu asked for the establishment of a horse farm quickly after learning of the news. They are too lacking in mobility. This shortcoming directly caused the Republican Army to rely on the method of advancing step by step in the war against the North. For cavalry with high-speed maneuverable shocks. They lack too much.

Now they finally have such an opportunity to subsidize the short legs.

However, Jia Xu still had some worries, after all, the northern steppe peoples did not allow more cavalry horses in the Central Plains, and the establishment of horse farms was the most important measure.

"In the long run, we can build up cavalry troops, but it will take time, in the short term we will not be able to carry out effective sorties, although we can fight Luoyang, but this is still not satisfied with us, the horses of the horse farm, and most importantly, need to be obtained from trade. Otherwise, we simply won't be able to develop further. Jia Xu said. The number of horses needed by the Republicans was very large and could not be met to a great extent in the short term, which meant that they still needed more and more horses, which could only be done through trade.
