Bankers are worried about their debt crisis, but they have a lot of confidence in the IRA. Because the two of them are interdependent, merchants and military men have a close connection. This connection is interdependent. They believe that under the guarantee of force, if they do not repay the borrowed money, it will bring them an even greater crisis. This is an inevitable consequence of middle age.

The intelligence services are still busy.

The IRA's geopolitical environment is very bad. There are too many enemies around, and if they don't grasp it well, there will be a big crisis, and in such a situation, many of their things will cause a big crisis. So, in such a situation, their situation is not very optimistic.

Intelligence work is a success. But there is too little useful information, and most of it is collected from a few small pieces of information. This is very difficult for the collation and analysis of information. Therefore, the intelligence services will still be very busy.

"The North and the South are two very important priorities in the future, and the work in the North is more about actual mobilization and breakthroughs. It's very difficult for us to do our job. Xu Dou said worriedly. As Minister of Intelligence, he often suffered from insomnia. There is no way, intelligence work is like that, there is no day and night.

"Sir, we've already carried out some intelligence operations in the north. Let's pay attention to the work in the Yanmen area, which has been carried out in the form of cooperation, theft, or acquisition, and we have made some progress. An intelligence lieutenant colonel said excitedly.

"Oh?" Xu Dou felt a little surprised.

"The area around Yanmen is an important dividing line between the Wuhuan people and the Huns. The chief should know very well that it is very important. So, the Huns and Wuhuan often fought there, and the worst thing was that both the Wuhuan and the Huns were short of money. The war made their tribe even poorer. That's the most important thing we can take advantage of. Lieutenant Colonel said.

Xu Dou took the report and looked at it.

The operation of the matter did make Xu Dou feel a little surprised, the mutual hatred between the Wuhuan and the Xiongnu, coupled with the huge economic stimulus of the slave trade, the Xiongnu were poor. The Wuhuan people are poorer. Both sides needed blood transfusions to alleviate their plight, and they could have solved the problem by simply going south to rob according to some previous practices, but the IRA came. They can't beat each other. And the more you fight, the poorer you get.

But now, the IRA has come up with a way of exchanging prisoners of war, money, and a lot of household items. Whether it's the Wuhuan people or the Huns, they all need these things. The Republican Army, on the other hand, only needs money, so the two sides attack each other, and the tactics of both sides are exactly the same, constantly attacking in depth and launching offensive operations. And constant harassment. The fighting is getting bigger and bigger. The situation is gradually spiraling out of control.

The slow arrival of prisoners of war was a greater risk for them.

And Yanmen is a very important pass. To the east and south of Yanmen are areas that the Wuhuan people can control, while on the other side, they are controlled by the Huns. But at this juncture, the IRA needs it very much. In the case of the impossibility of sending troops. A tempting condition was thrown.

"One hundred and fifty thousand yuan. Can you buy these places for 150,000 yuan? "Xu Dou is the Minister of Intelligence, his profession dictates that he doubts everything, and he needs to prove that his opinion is right and useful, and only then can he use everything he thinks can do these things.

"It should be possible." The lieutenant colonel said.

"Sir, the Huns, and the Wuhuan are too poor. 150,000 yuan is a huge amount of money, and we can buy a lot of things, but for us, it is just a military expenditure and an intelligence fund, and such a sum of money is far simpler than we think. Moreover, we can also hire each other to attack. The lieutenant colonel said.

The Republican Army came up with an extremely tempting offer, 150,000 yuan to buy the area controlled by the Wuhuan people in Yanmen. After the Wuhuan people migrated out, they could borrow some money as collateral, and their tribe could still live here. But the right to use weapons was denied. The parties reached an agreement.

The price is still very reasonable. Because the location of Yanmen is too important. Having taken control of there, the North Gate has a new barrier. target

"Anyway? Sir, we have to give it a try, too. The lieutenant colonel suggested.

"Well, you can give it a try." Xu Dou thought about it, and it seemed that he could only do this. The location of Yanmen is too important. It is important that they must solve such a problem, otherwise it will be a great threat to them. So, in such a situation, the things they need to solve must be in front of them.

Lijiazhuang Military Academy. Cadets are boring. Because they can't go out unless they get permission to do so, in order to make life more active. Weapon deduction homework has become a required course for the class. Or, it is an important extracurricular activity.

Because this is similar to a military flag. And it's very different.

Zhang Liao likes this extracurricular activity very much, because it is a course that staff officers must know, and at the same time, they must also have a view of the overall situation.

Cao Ang also likes this kind of extracurricular activity. Because he saw a lot from a military point of view.

"What do you think?" Cao Ang's classmate, Zhang Jiu asked.

"It costs too much to recover Yanmen by military means. We simply can't afford it. Cao Ang said. As a result, they needed at least three brigades to level the front, which meant that the Republicans would need at least six regiments and more than three artillery battalions to advance there. Coupled with the time spent fighting against the Wuhuan people, as well as the winter battle, there are too many disadvantages. All of this adds up to a minimum expenditure of several million dollars. That's too expensive.

"What are you afraid of, we have never been afraid of the Republican Army." Zhang Jiu said. He was recommended from the army. Naturally, I know that in the army, only by fighting can I get promoted. If they don't fight, they naturally don't have a chance to be promoted.

"I know. But there are many problems that cannot be solved by war. Cao Ang said.

The republican army began to form a new political force, a military force, and they were eager for war, not afraid of war at all, on the contrary, they were eager for it, because war brought too many war dividends. Many people who were not born well have been promoted to a large extent. The majority of the Republican Army's military personnel come from the bottom. They were numerous, and there was a warlike will among them, which was Cao Ang's own opinion.

The Republican Army has an extremely large number of militiamen, reservists, as well as active duty soldiers, non-commissioned officers, officers. Many people profited a lot from the war, and the merchants and soldiers seemed to be getting closer and closer. Soldiers can get a lot of loot through the war, as well as various tax exemption privileges, which is an encouragement and a privilege for the rise of soldiers.

This practice usually leads to the formation of some special extremes. For example, military people crave war, and they turn war into a way to make profits. It may seem dangerous, but who can tell.

"Don't you want to fight?" Zhang Jiu asked.

"No, I want to go to war, but not all problems can be solved by fighting. Wouldn't it be better if we could surrender without a fight, and this is the highest level of warfare. Cao Ang said. Zhang Jiu knew that this was what they said in their textbook, but it seemed impossible to surrender without a fight. They still hope to start a war.

Cao Ang believes that war is not a single means, and the republican army can use a variety of means, and their strength is still very strong. Republican soldiers should not use too much force, but they should think about solutions from other angles, such as diplomacy, trade, and espionage. and a range of other combat methods that can deter the other side can be tried.

The Republican Army has defined the scope of war very broadly, and it is extremely feasible to start from this point, and the simple use of force will cause great damage to the economy, and this damage is also extremely obvious. Cao Ang did not want the IRA to find itself in such a predicament. It's a pity that the military forces are too big, and many of their things are developing in an uncontrollable direction, and hopefully, their influence is not so great. In this way, it is also an extremely beneficial way for the Republican Army.

Inside the War Department.

"You can try it, 150,000 yuan, it's not a lot, relatively speaking, this price is still relatively cheap." Jia Xu agreed with the intelligence services that it would be best if they could be purchased, because it would avoid the repercussions of a larger war.

"One hundred and fifty thousand for us, we will soon return to us by other means." Jia Xu said that the Republican Army occupies the commanding heights of trade, and under such a commanding height, it can completely suppress the other side and put the other party in an extremely unfavorable situation, 150,000 is not less, but they will soon spend it all.

"I think it's possible, but one thing we have to note is that we need the military as a support so that we can be in a more favorable situation." Shang Wu said.

"I agree to do so. If you buy it simply, there may be some surprises, after all, the other party's credit is too low. Jia Xu agreed.

Immediately Shangwu gave the order to conduct military exercises on the border. This is a kind of deterrent, and it is also to tell the other party that if some improper measures are taken, they will also take corresponding measures to deal with it. Enough force is needed to guarantee peace.
