The IRA's road to the South, as well as some of the roads within, were not fully opened. This is extremely detrimental to the next step of military operations and the development of logistical supply activities, and in the face of such a situation, the best course of action for them is to complete the construction of such an infrastructure.

In fact, the IRA is already doing this. For example, a lot of construction and engineering companies are doing this kind of thing.

Road construction is also an important criterion for the performance of local officials, and local councils are paying close attention to such matters.

Because the repair of the road is complete, and the situation of the access road, it has a lot to do with commercial trade. If business activities are hindered by the lack of access to roads, it will be extremely detrimental to the next step of the local government's re-election campaign, and this will be seen as an extremely unfavorable situation. This is an act of extreme incompetence. This will be laughed at by more people. In such a situation, local officials have to actively push forward with such things.

But it takes a lot of money to build roads, but the time to build them is also very limited, and they need more political achievements. Some local officials had to borrow to do so. Some bank presidents are guests of staff of local officials. They can provide a lot of loans, and these loans can help them solve more problems, and in such a situation, they can have a lot of things that can be advantageous. In such a situation, this is extremely beneficial for anyone.

But for **, their income will become indefinitely extended, because they can only mortgage the current fiscal revenue, in exchange for more bank loans, and then rely on the construction of infrastructure to get more and more other benefits, these benefits are generally focused on future income, but this is extremely worthwhile. That's where they have the most advantage.

It is precisely by relying on the construction of these local roads that the Republican Army is gradually bringing the various administrative regions under its jurisdiction closer and closer. But that's not enough. Or rather. What Shang Wu needs is that the means of transportation will speed up again.

"The speed of the carriage is extremely limited, although it seems to us that it is already very fast. However, in capacity. In terms of speed, it is simply not possible to meet more of our needs, if we can further reduce logistics costs, many of our enterprises can expand greater profits, so that the development will be more powerful. Shang Wu said.

"My personal view is to build a strong railway system, and if necessary, we need to come up with some financial funds to build a railway system in some important areas of Luzhou and Zezhou." Shang Wu said. Hearing this, Jia Xu paused and looked at Shang Wu. Many of Sangwu's ideas are peculiar and have a long-term perspective. This is something that Jia Xu admires very much, so many times, he likes to record it and organize it for analysis. Sort out a new path out.

"It takes a lot of money? It costs more money than fighting. Jia Xu said.

"Yes, but it's good for our development, only if it's good for our development, we do this kind of thing, and in this way, it's much more powerful for us." Shang Wu said.

"Well, that's a lot better for us." Jia Xu knows where the advantages of the railway are, but everything is difficult at the beginning, because it requires more resistance when starting, for example, this is how the train faces such a big resistance in such a situation.

Jingshi, outside Luoyang City, the third line of defense.

The third line of defense was less than thirty miles away from Luoyang, and it seemed that standing on the city tower, you could see everything that was happening on the front line.

The city continued to transport some necessary war materials, and the people in the city complained. A lot of businessmen are bankrupt. Because Dong Zhuojun robbed it all of a sudden. They're very arrogant. There is simply no reason to say it.

Of course. There are also some powerful shops in the city that cannot be moved, such as those of the official family.

It's just that there are some strange shops in it. There were openly people in those shops with firearms as guards, and after Dong Zhuojun's officers checked it, they would severely teach those ignorant soldiers a lesson. Later, people learned that some things were coming from the north, that is, the Republican soldiers, and those places were the Republican army sentinels and spy strongholds.

Many people know very well that both the Republican Army and Dong Zhuo wear a pair of pants. Dong Zhuojun couldn't afford to provoke those people, so some businessmen hoped to join them, but they didn't know what the situation was? Because those people are very mysterious and maintain a situation that people can't approach, such a situation makes many people feel very unfavorable. Even, they feel that such situations make them feel very terrible.

What happened in Luoyang City was not something that Dong Zhuo could care about now.

Despite the constant emergence of all kinds of Republican spies, small things are coming. But Dong Zhuo always maintained restraint and did not allow to annoy the other party, for fear of falling into a state of hostility with the Republican Army on diplomatic occasions.

"My lord, Empress Dowager He has contacted some of He Jin's old subordinates to be unfavorable to the lord." Li Dao said on the side.

"Hmph. This old woman is not dead yet. Find someone and poison her. Dong Zhuo said very annoyed.

"Yes, my lord." Li Dao nodded and agreed. On the matter of abolishing Chang Liyu, Empress Dowager He resolutely disagreed. And it's the biggest obstacle to this. Dong Zhuo was very annoyed. In addition, the soldiers of the state constantly squeezed their defensive lines. This made Dong Zhuo feel a lot of pressure, in such a situation, Dong Zhuo was very annoyed, several persuasions were fruitless, Dong Zhuo also lost the last patience, he decided to take tough measures, poison the other party, and then make himself much more advantageous. Li Wei thinks that such a thing is normal, and if such obstacles cannot be removed in time, the results can be imagined. There is bound to be a big mess behind them. This guy is a big threat.

"How's the defensive line going?" Dong Zhuo asked Guo Yan angrily.

"Lord, everything is extremely stable, and the defense line will definitely not be broken through this time••••••" Guo Yan hurriedly said.

"I don't listen to your other things, I just want your defense line to give me a strong here, give me to resist, resist the enemy's attack, and defeat the other party for me. If the line breaks, I'll be the first to kill you. Dong Zhuo said angrily.

There are too many resources skewed in the third line of defense. Money is not enough. Dong Zhuo was naturally angry. Because it's very expensive. This kind of thing, if done a few times, is deadly enough.

"Bang bang. Bang. Rumble. Dong Zhuo had just finished saying the cruel words, and suddenly there was a fierce firefight. Such voices make it impossible for them to cope with such situations.

"Let's go and see what's going on." Dong Zhuo said. Guo Yan hurriedly led the way, he was very worried now, if such a thing happened again, it would be really difficult for him to do it.

"Bang bang. Bang. "The Dong Zhuojun sentry on the front line spotted the merger that was trying to get closer, and then opened fire without hesitation, but unfortunately, it was too far away from the other party. Bullets can't hit each other at all. But the loud noise caught the attention of a lot of people.

Their commander repeatedly warned them to open fire on the enemy without asking why, and put them in a very nervous state, a situation that many of them could not bear.

But now, in exchange for their own benefits. The good thing about this is that they found out about the sneak attack of the state soldiers.

And the state soldiers repeated their old tricks, they tried to use their swords and axes to sneak up on the other side. But alas, the other party found out. The sneak attack turned into a storm.

But the offense didn't play very well at first.

The ambushed soldiers quickly attacked. But they soon found that the more they charged, the more casualties they had, and they were attacked by a hail of bullets from the opposite side. The worst is in the back.

"Boom." Cannonballs whizzed. The shield simply did not have any chance to fight back in the face of the shells. Even, it is impossible to cope with such a situation.

The shield simply could not cope with the huge ability of the shells in front of them. Many people were beaten and vomited blood.

They tried to advance further, but to no avail, in the face of such a situation, because there would be more and more bullets on the opposite side against them.

Even if some people are lucky enough to get close, they still can't move forward, because they still have a damn barbed wire in front of them, so they can't take a step forward at all, and this is a big, big disaster for them, and many people can't move, such a situation makes them very powerless.

Dong Zhuo looked at the changes on the battlefield expressionlessly.

The number of soldiers in the state was very large, and they organized a charge of at least 800 men. It's a pity that the fire is too intensive. Their ranks are also very dense, coupled with the constant bombardment of heavy artillery, under multiple blows, they are unable to move, especially the powerful obstruction effect of barbed wire, which is extremely powerful for them. Things like this make them very powerful.

"It seems that our defense line is still well built, and we will follow this model in the future." Dong Zhuo said with a smile. Guo Yan was much more relaxed, which made him feel a lot more relieved. Because their lord can laugh, it shows that their pressure is still much less. Look at the soldiers who died many, many soldiers. Guo Yan is also much more relaxed. The configuration of those firearms seems to be very favorable. He thought so.
