The solution of the crisis by the IRA is not only about financial expenditure, but also about opportunities, and the reason why many newly occupied places can participate in the business activities of the IRA is to a large extent related to the economic activities of the IRA, and what they can do will become much more advantageous. In such a situation, the things they would solve would be very different.

Many people know very well that the crisis they are involved in will bring them more and more benefits, otherwise, they will not spend more money and invest a lot of resources to make them risk some behaviors, which may put their assets in an extremely unfavorable load all of a sudden.

Obviously, the crisis in the north can bring them much more.

The parliamentary session was intense. Many lawmakers began to discuss how much they could benefit from the crisis and what the benefits would bring.

The headquarters of the IRA has made it clear that they will not be overly involved, which means that the number of troops invested will be very limited, and a large number of military orders cannot come from the Republican Army. There may be orders for war materials, but not too many. It is simply impossible to count on those tribes to do more consumption.

And the total volume of trade with the North is just that. What other benefits can they bring, maybe come from minerals, but that needs to be investigated, sampled. But all the people know that as long as the war goes on, they will always get their own benefits. It's just that they need to find out for themselves. After the discussion, the parliamentarians took action, they need to know what is happening on the front line, and the areas that may be controlled in the future, what benefits they will get, etc., they need to make some assessments, and then do some beneficial things according to these assessment reports, because only in this way can they make better changes, and this matter will meet their development to the greatest extent.

The parliamentarians will never give up some of these opportunities.

Luzhou. Cao Ang's Fifth Infantry Regiment changed guards. They are to be temporarily moved to the north of Luzhou. The intent is not yet clear. Fangzheng: This is an order from the General Staff.

Many people think that they will take part in another military exercise. Because the above was very dissatisfied with the last military exercise, the evaluation was very low, and the senior staff officer gave the comment that he could not fight. This made many soldiers feel indignant, but helpless.

Cao Ang is now a lieutenant platoon commander, and they have been promoted by one rank above. But many things have not changed, for example, the commander of their company is still a veteran Republican Army captain, not a cadet, such a situation will form a great passivity for them. In such a situation, this would be very detrimental to them. The company commander was completely unable to adapt to the changes in the new conditions of war.

But Cao Ang is helpless now. In line with the situation that those who can work more. He is now in charge of more logistical tasks. For example, the transportation of the company's combat personnel, which mainly relies on ox carts to solve the problem. The ox cart can pull six fully armed soldiers. But it can only advance thirty miles a day. Maybe they can go more, but then the fatigue of the cattle will increase, which will make the overall distance travelled less.

The Republican Army has formed more new logistics and transportation units, and a large number of ox carts have been organized, the number may exceed more than 2,000 vehicles, but this still cannot meet the needs of the Republican Army, they need at least more than 60,000 vehicles to meet their personnel transportation, logistics needs, this gap is still very large, the Republican Army cannot afford so much vehicle maintenance in peacetime, the only way is wartime conscription.

Cao Ang guessed that the purpose of this exercise may be to test such a situation, after all, allowing soldiers to advance on foot on a large scale will not only affect the mobility of soldiers, but also affect the physical fitness of soldiers, which is a great challenge for them.

For example, if they let the whole company go in ox carts or horse-drawn carts, they have at least thirty-five carts, and in addition, they have their logistics supplies, ammunition, food, medicine, of course. There was also a field hospital at the division headquarters. That's a big number.

Although he had not yet participated in the battle, Cao Ang's first impression was that fighting a war was purely a matter of great money.

For example, among the special logistics vehicles of the Republican Army, there are special medical ambulances, which can pull four wounded people on board. They can be better rescued, and if necessary, their vehicles can be used directly on the battlefield to provide first aid. If riding, the number of wounded will be even higher. All this shows that the IRA is logistically strong, otherwise how could they do such a thing, and this is their best point.

The Republican Army can make an infantry division use a horse-drawn cart, or an ox-cart to transport to the battlefield, which means that their mobility, as well as the physical fitness of the soldiers, have been greatly improved, and preservation, compared to the previous logistics model of the imperial army, it is simply much more advanced. But these are still not the Republicans' biggest killer features.

Trains, although trains can only transport a maximum of eight small cars, and each carriage can only carry a maximum of six people, which is usually four people, does not seem to be very large. However, the cost of transportation is very low, and the scale of transportation is huge, if the republican army is fully used, this will greatly reduce the logistics and transportation pressure of the republican army.

But what Cao Ang knows so far is that there is no such railway line between Luzhou and Zezhou. Not only because of the lack of rails, but also because they need more money to lay them.

Cao Ang had an even bolder idea. If the Republican Army had built a railway line between Luzhou and Zezhou, then the Republican Army's main route would be in the middle, and they would attack Luoyang directly south from Zezhou. Although there is a lot of evidence to prove this, Cao Ang still has some worries, and he feels that there is still a lack of more evidence for him in such cases, if he can show such a point. This will be a more powerful point for them.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"The General Staff believes that their logistical supply pressure is still relatively high, although we have been building more supply warehouses in the past period of time to increase our material reserves, but the time is passing little by little, once it enters the winter." Jia Xu looked at Shang Wu in embarrassment.

"Our supply pressure will increase, and at the same time, we will need more material reserves and transportation capacity. The logistical pressure is still relatively high. Jia Xu said.

"How do they want to solve it?" Shang Wu asked.

They want us to be able to solve some of these problems by using other methods, such as expanding the construction of railways and increasing the laying of cable facilities. In this way, it can relieve some of our transportation pressure, and if our carriages and ox carts are concentrated in Zezhou, from Luzhou to Zezhou, we will use the railway to supplement it, which is a great advantage for us. We will cut the distance by half, and of course, it will be more powerful if there are trains and locomotives that can be laid directly to Luoyang, which is a strong guarantee to ensure the continuation of our main war. Jia Xu said.

Shangwu nodded in agreement. It seems that the situation of the railway has attracted Jia Xu's attention.

"But how quickly we can build such a railway, we all know very well that the cost of such a railway, if only rely on the power of businessmen to build, the Luzhou iron factory will not be able to meet the demand for so many rails." Shang Wu said.

"This is true, but, given current developments, if it is delayed for too long, it will have a great impact on our overall military operations. If we actively promote such a thing through auction after the war, I think we can solve some of these things to the greatest extent. Jia Xu said.

"What you mean, I understand, is that we try to get involved as much as possible and get things sorted out, so that things will be more powerful for us. In short, it's just that we do it, regardless of the cost. Shang Wu said.

"Yes, if you involve businessmen, there may be a certain amount of waste of resources. And in order to reduce the waste of war resources, we can auction this railway after the war, fortunately, the route of this railway is not too long. Jia Xu said.

Shangwu had to consider some of the implications that such a thing would have. Shangwu is well aware of the value of this railway, the strategic significance of the railway is here, and in some cases like this, many things will become extremely different for them. They need to take care of a lot of things to solve some of these situations, otherwise, how could they possibly accomplish such things.

If it is left to the businessmen to do this, they will simply care about the profits, and they can speed up the progress of the project, but more often than not, it will become very unfavorable for them. The biggest factor in the lack of time and the decline in quality is the cost. Who knows how much they will push up the cost to solve this problem.

But if they do it themselves, it may be able to greatly reduce this cost, which may be a good thing for them. In this way, their situation will become much more powerful.

"Okay, maybe we'll give it a try." Shang Wu said that this is still acceptable.
