Handan City.

In contrast to the state, a variety of small iron factories were built everywhere. Handan's stock market is still hot.

"Railroad concept stocks, the hottest stocks, this is a new market, securitization, represents fairness, as long as you have money, as long as you buy more railroad stocks. I promise, you'll definitely be able to make money. Xiao Wang waved his arm vigorously, and he held the sugar water cup in one hand. Under his arm is a thick trading order. With a charcoal pen in his ear, he looked very busy.

Almost a quarter of the people here are dressed like this, young and quick to accept new things. They know how to make money fast, and that's what stockbrokers do.

Banks don't just do what they want to do, but there are no strict requirements for securities companies, and they can get involved quickly. As long as you have money, you can register an account to do it, which is extremely easy, and such a thing is as simple as it is for them. They can accomplish a lot of things that no one else can do.

"Let me tell you, in my hands, there are already several millionaires. Some assets have exceeded 10 million. Million. This is a lot of money, he can buy a lot of shares of Handan Iron Works, become a shareholder, and have no problem attending shareholders' meetings. Xiao Wang said without logic. They were followed by businessmen from other places, and they thought it was a very curious place, the capital market, but it never was, it was easy to create wealth here, and it was easy to become rich. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the warm atmosphere.

The entire trading floor was full of people, despite the fact that a "great" inventor invented the "air conditioner." "It's just to put a reed mat on the outside of the fan and get water, preferably ice water if you can. That's a fast refrigeration. If you stand on the sidelines, you can quickly feel the feeling of winter in the whole hot weather. But there are too many people trading here. They can still feel the heat. There's no way around it.

Xiao Wang is from a remote mountain village in the Taihang Mountains. Because the village is too remote, it is difficult to survive, it is difficult to survive, it is difficult to find employment, and education is even more difficult. In desperation, the local ** decided to relocate the entire village to the town, because then it could work in the town's factory. Solve the problem of labor shortage. But Xiao Wang is a person with ideals, and he decided to go to the outside world to have a look. Break through.

He came here from Taihang Mountain alone with his luggage. I sold newspapers and worked as a food stall. Then the partnership did business and lost money. But Xiao Wang decided to try more. If you go back, you will be poorer. He wanted to change his fate, he was an idle man, so he came in all at once. Became a stockbroker.

They are responsible for selling the stock in their hands and then helping to buy and sell. Take a commission from it, and they have a one-thousandth rake. This is quite impressive if the transaction volume is large. Soon, he became rich himself.

"The hottest thing right now is rail stocks. Railways are the new direction of development in the future, you may not have seen it, but that kind of thing can transport many, many goods, people. All that is consumed is coal and water. Only a few people are needed, this is something new, and he can accelerate the economic development of the Republican Army. It's definitely a good thing to run as fast as you can, and it's something that can lead to more development. The other party said.

The businessmen in the back listened puzzled, they thought that this was a very valuable investment project.

That's what most of the stockbrokers do. In order to prosper its financial markets, the Republican Army has basically opened up to capital. A large amount of various capitals quickly gathered into the kind, the landlord's strong family, the prize money of the scholars. Workers' compensation. as well as capital investments by various merchants, and so on. Capital comes from a wide range of sources. Even the eunuchs were a big main force, and it is said that in the villa area in the south of Handan, it is a paradise for the rich. Some eunuchs who came from Luoyang made a fortune with "gadgets" from the palace. These are the main sources of their input.

Securities are fair in the eyes of ordinary people. Because everyone has the opportunity to come and buy. The opportunity to buy is fair, and whether you are a businessman, a worker, or an official, you are eligible to buy.

But some insiders are unknown to others, only some core directors, managers, they know. Securities trading is unfair, but this kind of securities trading with a great gambling nature has attracted many people to participate, and in their opinion, they have finally found an investment project that can make them develop quickly.

Finance is pouring a lot of money into the various projects of the Republican Army, and it is these funds that ensure the normal operation of many projects of the Republican Army, and without these, the situation of the Republican Army is indeed a little bad, which is an extremely unfavorable thing for them.

However, in order to solve the problem of capital, Shangwu can only open up most of the trading in the securities market, and in this way, get more capital for the enterprise. Without this, many projects would not have been able to grow.

For example, the railway project, he needs quite a lot of ironworks, coke, ironworks, and quite a lot of machining, locomotive building, in short, without these, many things are difficult to carry out.

The financial market must be liberalized, and only by opening up can they have new development, otherwise, their development will be greatly restricted. This is an extremely detrimental outcome for anyone. This is indeed the case.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

After studying the dismantling of the local states, Shang Wu threw himself into something else, how to mobilize more soldiers to join the Republican Army, and invest more military forces for the future mobilization of the Republican Army. After all, if they can participate in some of the events in Luoyang, they need to prepare at least thirteen infantry regiments to participate in the battle, and in addition, it may not be enough, they also need more reserves, so they also need to prepare a number of infantry regiments. and other technical classes, these can be a big nuisance.

"We estimate that at least about 30,000 people need to be mobilized, and about two infantry divisions and two infantry brigades are likely to solve some of these problems. But the question is how to mobilize more troops. The population is very mobile, and there is also the fact that soldiers who have been conscripted again may not want to serve in the army, you know, many of the veterans who have been discharged from the army before, they have adapted to the current life and returned to the army, which is quite unfavorable for them. Jia Xu said.

"If you use the method of hiring and professionalizing soldiers, it will cost a lot of money to keep these soldiers motivated. The current financial situation is far from optimistic. I'm very worried about that, after all, the situation is still extremely unfavorable for us, and I think we have to look for something else. Jia Xu said.

The reason why Shang Wu asked for a preemptive strike was, to a large extent, to consider such a point. Because premature mobilization will bring a large financial burden. But the problem is that if they don't prepare in advance, they won't be able to develop at all in a short period of time, which is also a big trouble for them, and if this kind of thing happens in such a period of time, their various situations will not be satisfied, and such a situation will make it difficult for them to develop.

So, in order to accomplish such a situation, they have to be prepared.

"In other words, we need to disperse some officers, sergeant majors, and prepared sergeant backbones in advance, and then, purposefully strengthen the training of some combat units to adapt them to new combat missions, right?" Shang Wu said.

"Yes, mainly from the financial aspect, of course, we also need more engineers, as well as the presence of transport units, because the previous combat experience tells us that if we take the initiative, this may bring more trouble." Jia Xu said.

"I agree with this truth, and this truth is very necessary for us." Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu nodded in agreement. How to solve this problem, this needs to be dealt with by some balanced mobility. If they want to accomplish something like that, they have to find a way to do something like that.

Decentralize officers with rich commands, and at the same time, let some veterans who have been discharged return to serve as sergeant majors, non-commissioned officers. In this way, with commanders and veterans as the backbone, it is possible to quickly form a larger combat unit. Military schools can provide a lot of basic command officers, but commanders of larger combat units, how to solve this problem? Shang Wu still has some headaches.

The Republican Army is currently adapted to combat basically infantry regiments, and their operational infantry divisions, infantry corps, are still largely inflexible, although the infantry regiments are basically sufficient. But alas, they still can't meet in many places, they can only barely meet the needs of the campaign, but in the larger strategy. Or in terms of broader depth, it is still insufficient, which has greatly affected the future operations of the Republican Army, and Shang Wu expressed concern about this, but such concerns are not enough to solve most of the problems, which is still a big trouble for him.

The lack of commanders for larger campaigns is the current shortcoming of the Republican Army. In other words, the Republican Army can only win the war on a certain scale, but it does not seem to be too advantageous to fight on a larger scale. This is the shortcoming of the IRA.
