Handan. There are intense debates going on in the Parliament. Journalists, on the other hand, curiously recorded what each member of parliament said, and the parliament was engaged in a matter of enlightenment.

Some "stubborn, old-fashioned" parliamentarians are adamant that the spread of this culture should be stopped, and even that they believe that legislation should be resolutely enacted to prevent further deterioration of some things.

As the economy of the Republican Army grows faster and faster. In particular, the economy of Handan City has been in the leading position, and there is no city that can stop the rapid development of Handan.

Economic development has brought about a huge increase in strength, as well as financial improvement.

Handan has established urban rail transit. Train transportation. It's not very fast, but it's enough to improve traffic pressure. His roads also grew wider and wider, and commerce flourished. In the main urban area, there are more than 10 commercial streets. Even at night, it is very bustling. Plus alcohol liberalization restricts supply. More people are entertained.

There are many places to gamble, and there are more and more places for gambling, and there are playing cards, mahjong and roulette games. It also makes Handan the biggest entertainment place. They contribute one-twentieth of the revenue. The funds are very substantial. If the funds were used for education, more than 2,000 primary schools could be built, and more than 210,000 students could be educated. At the same time, 200 secondary schools can be built. If it is built into a specialized college, it will be able to train more than 3,000 specialized technical personnel for the Republican Army. They can greatly promote the technological progress of the Republican Army.

That's exactly what happened. Some lawmakers are opposed to this, arguing that these entertainment venues have led to a lot of economic development and made Handan very attractive. This is definitely advantageous.

The opponents are some old-school scholars, or retired military officers, who have a strong sense of social responsibility, and believe that such excessive indulgence will form a great bad atmosphere in society, and more and more people in society will enjoy it, and they will also fall into a huge passivity when fighting wars and fighting in a more difficult environment.

This is a huge drain on the will to fight, and the grind at any time like this brings a huge disadvantage, and they don't want to see such a thing happen. Therefore, they believe that they should resolutely resist the continuation of such a mistake, and they cannot see such a disaster continue.

Especially retired officers. Each time, they reminisce about past battles. What kind of difficult environment did they persist in fighting to get to where they are now, and at present, many rich people are becoming extremely extravagant. And it has led to the social atmosphere of incomparable admiration for money. At the same time, some parliamentarians also presented their own favorable evidence.

For example, when Handan was developing rapidly, crime was also increasing rapidly at the same time. Although the city looks extremely prosperous, it is in the dark corners of the bustling city. But illegal and criminal acts are happening.

They did bring economic prosperity, they increased revenues. It is more convenient in terms of expenditure, but it is undeniable that in order to deal with these illegal crimes, the police gap in Handan City is still very large, the urban population exceeds one million, and the number of police exceeds 20,000, 20,000 police officers are still unable to maintain the law and order situation in Handan City, they still need at least about 10,000 police forces, which will further increase financial expenditure.

However, Handan is an economically developed city, and if there is no place for high consumption, it will bring huge attacks to many industries in Handan's economy, for example, the wine industry is an important blow.

The Republican Army's grain harvest and the development of new brewing techniques, such as the invention of the use of straw to brew alcohol, by some researchers.

This has led to a significant reduction in the price of alcohol, but the cost has been reduced to an astonishing level, making it possible for people to afford alcohol. However, there are certain restrictions on alcohol consumption in a region. So they started to increase demand. Moreover, the liquor industry is one of the largest export industries of the Republican Army, for example, the Republican Army exports more than 100,000 liters of liquor to the northern steppe tribes in one month. And this does not include smuggling activities in the shadows, which bring out much more alcoholic beverages than they seem, but even so, it is still not effective in digesting the rapidly increasing alcohol production capacity.

A glass bottle of wine costs less than 10 points. But the IRA merchants could sell it for a whopping ten dollars. If you put a little more effort into the packaging, it is extremely possible to buy 200 yuan. The liquor industry is profiteering. And only by stimulating entertainment consumption can they have greater consumption momentum. Otherwise, there is not much possibility of accomplishing such a thing.

All of this is a consequence that is difficult for others to deal with. In such a situation, the development of Handan needs more and more to be enlightened and bring more consumption in order to sustain it.

In any case, this matter is put up in the parliament to promote. Many people believe that they should support this and strongly support their expansion of such a favorable development. If it weren't, it would be harder for them to get things done, and for them, it would be a huge economic boost.

The matter was also discussed in the newspapers, and there was widespread support for it, because if it were restricted, alcohol would further increase taxes. And in the end, they have to pay the tax themselves.

The opponents are also responsible retired military officers. In their opinion, the enjoyment is too much. They have forgotten about the hard struggles of the past.

At Yanmen Pass, after Zhang Liao checked the situation of the position, he sat in his "office" and wrote some reports and diaries, and he would pay attention to some more situations to deal with the new development of the war situation.

"After the sneak attack, the whole front came to a standstill. We lack the possibility of attacking again. The opposing Horde forces are in contact with us, and they will retreat farther away and not engage us. And our cavalry did not obey our orders at all. We can't attack again, and if the grenadiers go too far, we'll lose them all. This is a big disaster for us, we can't watch such a disaster happen, in order to avoid it, there is only one way for us to do it, and that is to maintain a posture of not attacking. The two sides are in a stalemate, we can't defeat each other, and the other side can't defeat us. Zhang Liao said.

The Republican Army was never able to control the Allied cavalry units, which resulted in the Republican Army lacking the ability to fight back and pursue, and although they could repel the opponent indefinitely, they could not expel the opponent. That's where they are most disadvantaged.

"But today, things have changed that have caught us a little bit off guard, or rather, we don't know how to deal with such a war situation." Zhang Liao said.

Then Zhang Liao began to record what he knew.

Zhou Cang received a letter from the tribal forces. The wording of the epistle is not very strong. The tribe wanted to keep trade with them open. Of course, the status of both sides is equal. But Zhou Cang refused. However, there was no timely reply, and he hoped to get the consent of the War Department.

He believes that they can only attack the opponent by a large margin and make the opponent make greater concessions. In order to have a great advantage in the negotiations and in the future trade, in such a situation, it is obvious that they will not be able to achieve such a state.

However, Zhang Liao has his own opinion, and he believes that there will definitely be new changes in the future war situation, and this change comes from the difference in the main purpose of the war.

The main strategy of the Republican Army has been clearly to go south, and the north, because of the allocation of resources, is unlikely to become too important on the battlefield, as long as it occupies a certain advantage and can gain more initiative in trade.

It can be said that the scale of the war is limited, and the main purpose achieved is limited, so to speak. Under a certain allocation of resources, fighting a purposeful and limited war, such a war scale can meet their development needs to the greatest extent, and only in this way can their situation become more powerful.

However, officers like Zhou Cang, their way of thinking is still stuck in pure military issues, they believe that only in this way can they fundamentally solve some of these problems, so that the war becomes extremely favorable to their own choice, in such a situation, it is obviously not conducive to the next military action of the Republican Army, and under the limited allocation of resources, it is difficult to gain more advantages in the war.

Zhang Liao became extremely sensitive to the changes of the war, and thought about problems with a certain political purpose, which gave him a greater solution to some of the substantive issues he solved, and in this case, their development would become much more powerful.

If we want to change such a situation, we have to change many, many unfavorable situations. These are some of the problems that they have to face right now. Zhang Liao made some targeted changes and made some changes. And Zhou Cang just thinks about the problem according to inertial thinking.

However, the final decision is in the hands of Li Jiazhuang and the War Department.

In terms of politics, as well as in trade considerations. The Republican Army needs more advantages to manifest itself in the war, including some of the economic needs they need, and making such a choice can be mitigated to the greatest extent possible, as well as to concentrate superior resources to solve the problem. This is the ultimate goal of the IRA. The economy is the biggest driving force for them.
