599 Zhang Liao's worries
Jingshi, Luoyang, Cao Cao's residence. Xi Zhicai is a person who loves to learn very much, so he collected some information about the development of the Republican Army, and I don't know how he did it, but he actually collected teaching materials and notes from the Republican Army High School. Some people are born to study and collect like crazy for these things, which may also be a special hobby, and Xi Zhicai's hobby is like this.
As long as he is interested in something, he must collect it. Especially people from different places. What interests him, Xi Zhicai is such a person.
"How?" Xi Zhicai came in with a pot of good wine and said this.
"I don't understand. These IRAs, I really don't know how they came up with something like this, like this factory. If we build factories, can we be like the Republican Army? Cao Cao asked.
Saying that, Cao Cao noticed the wine in Xi Zhicai's hand, and then the two of them sat down quickly, Cao Cao liked alcohol very much.
"You can't read it, and I can't read it." Xi Zhicai said.
"The IRA is taking a completely new path, which is completely different from what we are doing." Xi Zhicai said. Cao Cao took a sip of wine and nodded, indicating that he completely agreed with this opinion.
"The IRA also has its own military factory, and in such a situation, do we also build such factories?" Cao Cao asked.
"No, I don't think it's possible to build factories like the Republican Army, where the factories are built on the land, and most of their factories come from the surplus of the land, and they are combined with the artisans, and in such a situation, a completely different economy is formed. First, with land, our peasants will not leave the land, and second, we give them land, and the peasants are still unwilling to give up the land, but the peasants of the Republican Army can give up the land, mainly because their grain can be guaranteed, and our government's creditworthiness does not have such a big guarantee. Xi Zhicai said helplessly.
"In a situation like this, we can't handle a lot of things like this." Cao Cao said.
"It seems that if we want to reform the economy, we have to fundamentally deal with some special ways to deal with situations like this." Xi Zhicai said.
"This kind of thing revolves around the land, and it's difficult. It's hard. Cao Cao said. Cao Cao knew such a result too well. Because most of the land is in the hands of the landlords, it is impossible to get so much land.
"It seems that it is impossible to take such a road as industry." Cao Cao said. By reading some materials, Cao Cao began to seriously think about the differences in the economic policies of the imperial court.
The industry of the Republican Army was based on agriculture, and their land policy was also annexation, so why did they have factories in Europe, but not the imperial court. Why is this, Cao Cao can't understand such a thing, he even feels that in such a situation, many things seem to be developing towards their most unfavorable place, Cao Cao doesn't know why, and he can't say why, in short, in such a situation, many things are very different, and it is still difficult to complete some such things.
"I don't know exactly why in some cases, but if we want to accomplish such things, we have to go to war with the landlords and powerful them, if there is no huge change. Difficult. Xi Zhicai said. They have to solve the land problem, how to solve the problem, the annexation is so serious, trying to figure out such a situation is probably a lot of energy, in such a situation, they will be difficult to carry on, this will be a great challenge for them. If they continue to make some changes in the situation, it will create a big contradiction for them to the greatest extent, which is definitely not what they want to see. In this case, the result will be a very unfavorable situation.
"In my opinion, our landlord Haoqiang is too selfish. They are reluctant to thwart such reforms. Cao Cao said. Things are getting more and more troublesome. Cao Cao originally planned to strengthen the army, but as a result, they got such things themselves. Military reform cannot be carried out without economic support, and in this case, some important situations will put them in the most unfavorable situation, and if such situations continue to be carried out, what will be the result? Cao Cao was also worried about such things.
"It's really hard to reform something like that, originally we just wanted to build a military system, but as a result, we got something like this, which is the biggest disaster for us." Cao Cao said so.
"Yes, the Republican Army was first and foremost built on the basis of a destroyed Jizhou, and they did things too well. If we want to learn, we need to summarize a lot of the same things that are actually implemented. Xi Zhicai said. Xi Zhicai wants to be a reformer, but it is difficult to carry out such reforms, and even in many places.
After Cao Cao took a sip of wine, he nodded. He agrees with the other party, but there are still many difficulties that need to be done to do such things, for example, the current situation requires them to do such things to consider specifically. If they can't do something like that, they're going to be in a situation where it's hard to deal with, and they don't know when that situation will change.
Lijiazhuang, the dormitory of the military academy, Zhang Liao is writing notes, because the recent textbooks have changed a lot, which is something different that the students told them before.
The Republican Army has always emphasized tactics, for example, their tactics are based on the three-three system, which is explained geometrically, that is, the triangle has stability. The triangular unfolding is more powerful. This kind of tactical coordination is simple, and at the same time, it is also the most advantageous situation. But the Republican tactics have changed a lot recently, although they still continue the previous tactics, such as flanking and so on, but recently, something has been wrong, because the Republican army is getting closer to the firepower, for example, their companies have added more artillery. In this way, their firepower increases dramatically.
Such tactics are indeed advantageous, but the problem is that their tactics are changing, even, very much.
It can be said that the previous tactics of the Republican Army emphasized flexibility, they never fought hard, but relied on the constant movement of their light infantry to attack where the enemy could not possibly think it was going to attack, and in some cases this would have had a great impact on them, and in such cases, they had to adopt some new developments if they wanted to accomplish such situations.
Because the light infantry relied on their mobility to fight, it was difficult for them to break through once they encountered a well-defended fortress. Because then they will be in a very bad situation.
This may be a disadvantage of light infantry warfare, but at some point, some corrections have gone wrong, such as the Republicans starting to desperately increase their firepower, that is, they have increased their firepower too much. Although their offensive capability has increased significantly, the problem is that the increased firepower has increased the burden on their logistics, Zhang Liao is a very serious person, he knows that the republican army's logistics supply vehicles can transport four times as much as the imperial court, and if they are running at full capacity, they can ensure that the republican army can ensure that in addition to basic food and ammunition, they can also ensure their subdued. Their food supply will also change dramatically.
But with increased firepower, ammunition consumption rises to more than two times, and in order to maintain such ammunition consumption, it is necessary to increase their supply capacity. However, this supply capability is built on combat transport, and they need to do a lot of different things to get there, for example.
First of all, the transport vehicle, which is not said, but the problem arises in such vehicles, because the vehicles of the republican army cannot walk in some special places, especially in the areas controlled by the imperial court, and some places controlled by the imperial court are impassable such vehicles, although there are sappers, but this greatly affects the logistics supply, once the logistics supply is seriously affected, it will cause a big problem. Their firepower may not be sustained further, and how can they solve such a problem?
Zhang Liao was very worried about this, it can be said that the carriage needs to be matched by the road, but the problem is that many areas of future combat do not have such conditions.
This is the trouble caused by the sequelae of increased firepower, and if such a big trouble is encountered in such a situation, it will be a big problem for them. If they continue like this, it will cause them a lot of trouble.
Zhang Liao was very worried about such a thing, and Shang Wu believed that to a certain extent, it was necessary to insist on some tactical improvements and changes in order to achieve such a state, otherwise, it would be difficult for them to carry out many things, and such a change in central improvement would limit the improvement of the Republican Army's combat capability. Zhang Liao believed that the tactical essence of light infantry should not be abandoned.
