"Dong Zhuo really thinks of a good way to issue bonds? This is tantamount to another robbery in Luoyang. It's just that this robbery, as the good name is, a financial robbery. Shang Wu said helplessly after reading the telegram.

"What I'm worried about is that Dong Zhuo's series of behaviors will cause a big blow to our financial order, and if this situation continues to develop, our pressure will become very great, which is not a good thing for us." Jia Xu said.

"Yes, I'm also worried, after all, our bonds are in great contrast with each other, and we should firmly control the risks in the financial markets." Shang Wu said.

"Stability, what we need at the moment is stability, we can't rush, everything is showing that stability is going to be very important, and this is going to be very important for us." Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu nodded to show that he understood Jia Xu's thoughts, and the Republican Army needed to be the last big man to appear. And finally control the situation, only in this way, can completely occupy a huge advantageous position in the chaos that may occur in the future.

"That's right. There are two more telegrams that we need to pay attention to, the first one is from Hexi. There, Dong Zhuo secretly increased the number of troops, according to the estimates of our intelligence department, about 10,000 or more, and probably more. But the defense situation in Hexi was very bad. They only have infantry, and there are not enough people, and there are not enough militias to enter the combat system, which is extremely bad for us. Jia Xu said.

"If we increase the number of troops, it may cause Dong Zhuo's dissatisfaction, and even alarm. We have to find a way to deal with such a situation. Shang Wu said.

"Well, my suggestion is to send an airship team to get there to deter the other party, on the one hand, to conduct accurate reconnaissance, and on the other hand, to let them understand that we are extremely in control of the situation, the airship is our elite force, and we have arranged the airship there so that the other party will not dare to act rashly." Jia Xu explained.

"I agree with this suggestion. To do this, we need the power of skill. Rather than overpowering each other, airships can meet such needs as ours. Shangwu nodded.

Jia Xu's skill is reflected in the value of this aspect, they can do more things that others can't think of. This is an extremely favorable result for Shang Wu.

"The other thing is a bit more troublesome. The telegram sent by Cao Cao was just forwarded from Handan. Chen stayed in Handan and used a post station. Jia Xu explained.

Shang Wu nodded, indicating that he could directly say the content. For the details, Shangwu doesn't pay much attention to it, after all, there are some things that Shangwu can't pay attention to too carefully. This is not conducive to dealing with some things.

"A telegram from Cao Cao, he wants us to join their Kwantung coalition. However, the Kwantung coalition army. Seems to be very uninterested in our participation. Jia Xu continued.

"They are opposed, I have seen it, especially Yuan Shao, his opposition attitude is extremely resolute, and it can even form a very unfavorable situation for us." Shang Wu said.

"From our own point of view, we really can't do that, and we can't even do some of these things ourselves, and such a situation can have a big impact on us. If we participate in it, diplomatically and militarily, it will be limited and it will not be conducive to our initiative. It's very bad for us. Shang Wu said.

"On the other hand, we are in a very bad situation. This makes us very passive. Shang Wu said.

Shang Wu and Jia Xu were not very much in favor of taking the initiative to participate in the Kwantung Coalition Army. First of all, the Republican Army and Dong Zhuo have arms business dealings, if they participate in it, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Republican Army, their arms, as well as the related logistics and transportation business, will completely collapse, and even be deliberately destroyed by Dong Zhuo, the Hedong merchants of the Republican Army will suffer heavy losses, and Dong Zhuo will greatly rob an excellent asset. This is definitely not what the IRA sees.

Second, the diplomatic situation of the Republican Army is more favorable, and the Republican Army is currently not involved in anyone's participation, but only conducts arms trade between the two sides, such a sweater can maximize the expansion of the Republican Army's trade quota, as well as other related advantages, but for the Republican Army, maintaining independence and no one helping each other, can get the ambiguous relationship between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Coalition Army, and then put themselves in a powerful position. But if you get involved with any of them, you will break this balance and put yourself in a very unfavorable passive situation, which is a very unfavorable thing for the Republican Army, and once such a thing happens, it will make the Republican Army lose a large part of the initiative.

In the end, it is the republican army's own plan, and the republican army is bound to participate in it, which belongs to taking advantage of the fire to rob, and keep their calm, restraint, and show their hole cards at the last moment. Put themselves in a very advantageous position, and as long as the Republican Army does not attack, they will always be in the last advantage. This is extremely beneficial to the Republican Army.

The Republican Army is planning Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo is still occupying Luoyang. Judging by some reports from the General Staff, judging by some of their circumstances, the Kwantung coalition army lacked the military strength to directly attack Luoyang. The IRA still has a great advantage to maintain its superiority.

For Cao Cao's proposal, the Republican Army directly vetoed it.

Even without Cao Cao's proposal, the Kwantung Coalition would not allow the Republican Army to participate, because the Republican Army was regarded as a bandit by those officials. They are morally untenable. They were only nominally edicted by the imperial court. Although they are still part of the military force of the imperial court, they are still bandits in their bones. Cooperating with bandits would lower the status of their officials and would be a highly shameful practice. So, within the bureaucracy, a series of actions of the IRA have been vetoed.

The situation of the war is far from being in an extremely unfavorable state, and in such a situation they cannot accomplish many things. In such a state of war, they will be in a very difficult state to carry out.

Therefore, the Republican Army maintains its independence, which is the greatest advantage. And their strategy was right from the start. They have to wait, wait patiently, and seize the last chance.

The 3rd Infantry Division was reorganized, and their company commanders were transferred. And Cao Ang was appointed deputy company commander. With the rank of lieutenant, if necessary, he will take over from his company commander as a commander. The superiors still agree with some of Cao Ang's performances, he has received a systematic military academy education, and his combat quality is much higher than that of those officers from the empirical school. And they have a new body of knowledge and are very receptive to new things. The war has changed a lot, but the old guys are still fighting according to the old set, which will cause great losses to the Republican army. In the consideration of protection, as well as better reducing the casualties of the Republican Army. From top to bottom, the IRA adjusted the appointments of many officers, and those with prestige were actively appointed to their positions. It was in such a situation that Cao Ang got involved.

However, Cao Ang is not concerned about these, but the republican army's subdued. As well as new ways of fighting.

Now that the season has entered autumn, the IRA has already distributed their winter clothes, and all the overcoats have been distributed. The soldiers were kept warm in advance, their boots were much thicker, and each of their socks was replenished with more than three pairs. Also, there are gloves as a device.

I heard that the logistics department is also procuring some grease for cold protection. The IRA is very meticulous. The higher authorities have also issued a series of supplementary combat plans for strengthening winter operations under the relevant combat conditions. This puts everyone's situation in a very favorable situation.

All this shows that the Republican army may have to send troops in the winter, otherwise the winter coats will be distributed too early.

And considering recent political developments, for example, the Kwantung coalition forces have begun to assemble. The troops are also constantly being strengthened, but their logistics still need more materials to reserve, and when they really send troops, it may have entered the early winter. Coupled with the PLA's related military preparations, the IRA is bound to intervene.

This is definitely not what Cao Ang wants to see, but he is currently only a junior officer, and he still has a long way to go before he wants to complete his career.

But this does not prevent him from having his own observation of the events of political activity that took place. War is like that. A lot of things are slowly surpassing some of their own imaginations.

The Republican Army is actively preparing, and in many details, they themselves have handled it very well. In contrast, the Kwantung coalition army still proceeded according to the rules of the past, which was inefficient and the soldiers complained. A lot of things can become extremely reactive. I really don't know what kind of result this will lead to.

Cao Ang quickly shook his head. Because they also need to conduct relevant winter combat training, the IRA is summing up some of the lessons learned from past winter operations. In the next war, try to avoid this as much as possible. This will cause them a lot of passivity. They are trying to avoid such passivity, and this is the result of their conclusion.
