The impact of cavalry is still very large. The nomadic forces on the opposite side made some concessions at the negotiating table. After all, the Republican Army had a great advantage in equipment. In the words of the nomads themselves, the republican army had an inexhaustible supply of iron, they could craft all kinds of weapons, they could put armor on horses, and if necessary, such an opponent could not be defeated. If it drags on, it won't do them any good.

What they need is trade, not continued war. The Republicans can fight, but they can't.

The chaotic situation in the steppe has consumed most of the supplies of the various tribes, and if they cannot be replenished as soon as possible in the trade, the consequences will be unimaginable. And the situation is developing towards the situation they least want to see, so the grassland tribes also want to reach an agreement as soon as possible, even if it is unfavorable, they are willing to accept it. Because the situation on the steppe simply cannot be delayed.

The IRA had ample supplies for the Confederates. They can fight for a long time if they need to, but for the steppe tribes, they may not even be able to survive the winter smoothly.

Yanmen Pass, inside the headquarters of Zhoucang.

"Talk about it, don't be silent." Zhou Cang told the staff officers that the negotiations went relatively smoothly, and the entanglement lies in the small details.

"Sir, my opinion is that we can't send troops definitely, and the above clearly tells us not to use our own military forces too much. This means that the main force in future operations will still be the Allied Army, but the combat effectiveness of the Allied Army is really poor. "A captain staff officer was the first to express his opinion.

The Republican Army's strategy for the steppes is still to rely on the locals to fight the locals, but the problem is that the locals don't seem to be willing to get involved in such things, and they are not very active in offensive operations, although there are elite troops who can do this, but most of them are not actively fighting. The combat effectiveness was much lower, which made their commander extremely troubled.

"Sir, the resources we can give are very limited, how to make them play a greater role, I personally think that the problem lies in the distribution of grasslands." A lieutenant colonel staff officer changed the subject.

"Hmm." Zhou Cang just snorted. There is no intention of stopping it. But many staff officers said there was some danger to the topic. They are military personnel and should not be overly involved in politics. It doesn't have much to do with them.

"The reason why the Confederate soldiers became inactive was because the steppes were not theirs, and most of them were herders without any industry. Many people make a living by selling their labor. In the past, among the tribes, they were in a bad situation. But coming to us, it's just a little bit bad, but it hasn't changed. If we can change that and give them a greater degree of grassland allocation, for example, we allocate land, or issue land bonds. Involving pastoralists can make a big difference. Lieutenant Colonel said.

"Sir, this is very dangerous." One major said.

"We are soldiers, and we should think about things on the battlefield, not politics." Staff Major said firmly. The lieutenant colonel was extremely disgusted by this, because politics and military affairs are inseparable, and thinking purely about military issues will make the problem look extremely one-sided.

"It is extremely foolish to think about it this way, our past wars were all based on land, and the victory of the Republican Army was not based on military weapons and tactics, but on political superiority. At present, the combat enthusiasm of the Allied forces is very low, and even if we equip them with firearms, they will still not be able to improve their combat effectiveness, and this problem should be analyzed from a deeper angle, so that we can form a great advantage. It's quite possible that we're going to lose more and more unfavorable situations, and that's the worst for us. Lieutenant Colonel said.

"We are soldiers. Soldiers should think about the problems of war. The Major fought back resolutely.

"Alright. This matter, submit a report to it. Zhou Cang waved his hand and said. This is a troublesome question, the Republican Army is constantly summing up its own experience, and the young officers believe that the victory of the Republican Army is based on their superiority in weapons, training, and tactics, so to speak, military victory is a purely military victory. These are the views advocated by some young officers, most of whom have used the experience of military school training. In addition, their promotion channels are very smooth, and the Republican Army's foreign operations are extremely smooth, which leads them to be more one-sided in their military considerations.

And the lieutenant colonel represents the old-school officers of the Republican Army. Most of them had grown up in the most difficult times for the IRA, and they knew what land meant, especially when land bonds were issued. This greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the people, and what weapon and tactical advantages the Republican Army had at that time relied on the support of the people. However, most of them have received simple training classes, which are all selected by military academies for training, and the courses are not comprehensive. This gives them a lot of leeway. This, combined with their own experience, played a key role in the formation of their theory of self, after all, they had a lot of experience in the past.

Both sides have their own opinions, insights to elaborate on the war as they see it. But this kind of elaboration is forming two factions, and the competing relationship is a headache for Zhou Cang.

Next, they had to use the allies to deal with the steppe tribes and gain more leverage for the war. But Zhou Cang was worried, those allies were very difficult to use, and they would surprise you, because many things were far more than he expected. In such a situation, how to use the alliance army and improve the advantage of the alliance army made Zhou Cang a headache.

Handan, the securities market is hot.

The hot topic of discussion right now is, "War." ”

"You know what? War brings a lot of favorable conditions, war needs more supplies, soldiers need clothing, food, weapons for fighting, military doctors for wounded, and so on. Their needs will be very large, and what we can provide at the moment, we in the IRA can provide. For us, there is nothing to pawn, and these orders will bring more development. A friend of Li Li said excitedly.

Li Li is very calm, he just looked at his small notebook, which recorded a lot of his views on the market, the market is constantly rising, but the rise is very limited, the Kwantung coalition has been established, their forces have been gathered, the number is said to exceed 100,000 people. The force can be said to be quite strong. As their enemy, Dong Zhuo is said to also have a force of 200,000 troops, and on the front line of Luoyang, there are at least 100,000 garrisons to fight there. A larger engagement inevitably took place.

War does not always bring disaster. Here, for example, the banks set up by merchants in Hedong lent Dong Zhuo more money, and their stock prices fell somewhat. But the magnitude is not very large. Because there are newspaper reports. Dong Zhuo may not be able to repay the loan. Some gossip newspapers also reported that Hedong merchants planned to mortgage the art treasured in the palace to them. Or even some land.

For a time, the good news was flying all over the sky, everyone was discussing the war, and it seemed that they were able to influence the situation of the war, and few people could calm down and imagine the development of the market. Li Li believes that there is a mysterious force that governs the development of the market. He couldn't tell what was going on with this force, but what he knew was that if he didn't analyze it carefully and slowly follow the trend, he would become like his friends, speculating without brains, and in the end, it would inevitably lead to great losses. It was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"The war has made our market enthusiastic, but the problem is, we have too few orders. There are only orders from Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo still has a large amount of debts that have not been resolved, which is an unbearable risk for our bank. Sangwu worriedly put the telegram aside, this is something that needs to be dealt with. But how to deal with it, it's a bit tricky.

"Look at this. The problem in the north has become a political problem, and the enthusiasm of the Allied forces is not very high, which is extremely detrimental to our stability of the situation in the north, and a staff officer suggested that we should follow our land bonds, and carry out some measures on the steppe as soon as possible, such as allocating the steppe, giving more steppe to those Allied soldiers, after all, most of them are unemployed. Jia Xu said.

"My concern is that it will spur discontent among the various other tribes of the steppe." Shang Wu said after reading it.

"I'm worried about that, too, but in terms of our increased combat effectiveness, it's extremely powerful for us. After all, if we support them too much in more military supplies, this may drag down the combat intentions of the south, if these war materials are sold to the army in the south, we can make a profit, and if we invest in the north, we may continue to invest, which is extremely uneconomical for us, and those lands are not ours in the first place, we may be able to build a subject-centered army that we need ourselves, and that is what we need most. Jia Xu said.
