Lijiazhuang. Within the military academy. Zhang Liao is documenting all the life here. Yesterday, they visited the arsenal of the Republican Army, the assembly line operation, they produce weapons quite quickly, a firearm, it will not take more than an hour, and most of the other parts have been prepared, all they need is to assemble according to the assembly line operation. It's fast, and it's of high quality. In contrast, the production speed of the imperial court is quite slow, not to know, a comparison will make Zhang Liao have a great impact, such an impact makes Zhang Liao feel unbelievable.

"The Republican Army's military factories are producing quite fast and efficient, and in such a situation, their production rate will increase dramatically. Because they have a reasonable division of labor. Intelligence plays a big role here. I wondered if the same was true of the IRA. Their army is like a big factory. The products of this factory are the Republican Army soldiers, they can produce the quality that the soldiers need according to certain standards and parts, for example, I know that the Republican Army has a recruit camp nearby, where a certain number of militia will be concentrated for training, they will become new Republican Army soldiers, and after receiving recruit training, they will be assigned to various units. Then they serve in these units, and some of the aging veterans, who can be withdrawn, can be used as spare parts. They can also provide sufficient reserves, and they still play a significant role. Zhang Liao may be the first person to think so boldly.

"The Republican Army is a huge arsenal, those veterans who have served for a certain period of time, they have rich combat experience, they will gradually become the backbone of the battle, they are the non-commissioned officer corps of the Republican Army, and for the non-commissioned officer corps, they must be seriously trained. They also have a non-commissioned officer training school nearby, which is said to train non-commissioned officers in combat skills, tactics, and the backbone role they play in combat, and then they will be reassigned to combat units, and if they perform well, they will be promoted again. It is possible to promote the officers, that is, the people who come here. After studying, training, they will become qualified soldiers, they will train such soldiers according to certain standards, and they will become real backbones. The entire IRA will be put into use smoothly. And that's it. No contingent of the imperial court could reach such an extent. Zhang Liao wrote.

"To be sure, the IRA's army is like a large-scale factory, standard, fast, efficient production. They can continue to improve their products and occupy a large market, which is incomparable to others, and in another point. Compared with the army of the imperial court, it is like those village workshops, they may also make good parts or handicrafts, but their quantity, quality, and standardized production, in these aspects, they are far inferior to each other. That's the crushing of huge productivity. Facing such an opponent, it is very scary. Zhang Liao said.

Zhang Liao regarded the entire army system of the Republican Army as a huge factory, and their division of labor was extremely clear, infantry, artillery, engineers, transports, as well as medical personnel and field hospitals. They even have a dedicated staff team that provides a variety of options for command. They also have specialized people to collect intelligence. This kind of efficiency is definitely not something that the imperial army can imitate.

This is an economic system that builds a different mode of production, and other people, even if they have learned such a point, but their economic system is different, naturally there will be some variations and discomfort. Even, in the end, it didn't work. It seems that Zhang Liao has thought a lot about the development of the Republican Army, and if it weren't for these, he probably wouldn't have been able to think of such things.

However, Zhang Liao thinks that he does not know too much, because there are many different places here. For example, a member of one of his dormitories.

Chen Mao. Originally known as Da Mao, he changed his name to Chen Mao after coming to the military academy. He is an ordinary villager from a mountain village in the Taihang Mountains of Jizhou, and he joined the Republican Army because of local bandits. The IRA eliminated the banditry that had been difficult to solve for a long time. The local villagers are starting to live a good life, which is mountainous and has very little arable land per capita. But with the rational distribution of the Republican Army, especially the local economic incentives, they were allocated orchards on several hills, and the Republican Army built a canning factory on their premises, and at first they did not know what canning was, but then they knew. It turns out that the fruit of those mountains can be preserved in that way for a long time. And after these things are preserved, they can be transported to the front line, because the soldiers need such things, and they don't know why, but Chen Mao's family has fruit trees on several hills. The bank loan also allowed him to expand the scale, and the harvested fruit could be made into fruits, preserved fruits, which could be sold to the Republican army, and the surplus could be transported directly to the city of Handan, where the demand was very great, because the people there could have extra money to buy these. This is also a type of gain. As for food, after they have exchanged a lot of money, they can buy food and go back. To some extent, they have achieved a large social division of labor. This changed the situation of poverty among the mountain people in the past, and Chen Mao's participation in the Republican Army became an important part of maintaining this social order.

There is also Shi San, who is just an ordinary peasant kid. He is from Luzhou. Before, he was a guy who couldn't get enough to eat. But if after the Republican Army, their family changed drastically, the land was concentrated in the bank, the father was out for transportation, and his two older brothers, both of whom were married. Before, this matter in their family was a very worrying thing. The mother also does some odd jobs to support the family, and it is said that their neighbors are very good at living. I bought a lot of cattle and sheep. Specialized sheep breeding. Because life is much better now. The demand for meat is getting bigger and bigger. Shi San told Zhang Liao that his two elder brothers planned to come back and raise some sheep, because the work of running transportation was not easy to do, and they still needed to invest a lot of money. Need to buy a car. It's hard.

Shi San is still calculating how much the input cost of his two elder brothers is.

Although they are all small things, from the perspective of these small things, they are indeed some big things. Because these big things have solved a lot of things that they couldn't accomplish before, in such a situation, many of their situations will become much more favorable. This is the current situation in which they can only benefit, and such a situation will meet their various needs to the greatest extent. Through these little things, you can discover some different things, so that some different things can change a lot of different changes.

War Department. The Luoyang side offers a worthy target.

"The emperor is very fond of the youngest son, but he is extremely dislike the eldest son, which is a great disaster. It's going to have a big impact. In particular, the power of the relatives behind the eldest son, the great general He Jin would never let such a thing happen. There could be a big change in the future. For such a change, we should actively prepare for it. Jia Xu analyzed such a piece of information.

Zhang Rang did not provide such a valuable information, the information came from other people in the harem, and they were willing to provide such information to them.

"Hmm." Shang Wu just looked at the intelligence in his hand, such a thing, as if there was in history, only how the palace coup was carried out, because they lacked the necessary intelligence personnel, as well as the specific details, Shang Wu did not know, but what he knew was that it was the relatives who won the victory in the end, but when the other force was eradicated, that is, the eunuch power, the relatives suffered a big blow, and then this caused a series of violent turmoil in the court later.

"This kind of thing is not something we can participate in, what I know is that if we don't develop such a force in time, it will inevitably lead to our situation becoming more unfavorable in the end, and in that case, our situation will become very bad. And a lot of missed opportunities. Shang Wu said. Shangwu believes in strength. Only with sufficient strength can they interfere in the affairs of such regions, and if they do not have such strength, doing other things will inevitably cause them great disadvantages. Even the end result is not too good.

"It's important to expand your strength, but it's a shame not to be involved in such a thing." Jia Xu said.

"We are just making the last military preparations, after all, this is the last resort. And for a lot of things that we've had to do before, like intelligence, our espionage, and in addition to that, we're going to have to do active diplomacy and deal with all the forces. Befriend them, like this one. It was Shang Wu who took out a telegram as he spoke.

"This is Cao Cao's invitation to ask us to send a military advisory group, and he will guarantee the safety of our advisory group. And what we're going to do is teach some of our most basic operations, and I think that's a great opportunity for us to send them out and observe. And to deliver information in a timely manner, this is a very good opportunity. At the same time, we can also contact Dong Zhuo, mainly about bank loans. Shang Wu said. Contacting all parties is Shangwu's choice.
