2422 We're in for a hard time
"Can telegram send messages?" Hawke asked a dispatcher. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sir, not yet. Today it is estimated that the line is being checked, and the telegram is intermittent. The dispatcher said helplessly.
"Oh. I know. Hawke nodded.
"Sir, what can I do to help you?" The dispatcher asked.
"Hmm. The content is not very classified, but it is very important, and it is information that the Chief of the General Staff is extremely concerned about, and I need to send it out as soon as possible. Hawke said, holding the telegram in his hand. When the Goguryeo people were leaving, they destroyed a large number of cables, but the Qin army quickly repaired these cables, but the cables to the southern region were completely destroyed. The Qin army needed to be rebuilt due to the fire. Broken cables can be reconnected. It will only be re-erected if it is absolutely necessary.
"It's long, it takes a long time to send." Hawke said.
"Alright. I'm waiting. Or in a moment the telegram will be ready to use. Hawke said.
"Alright. Boy, we're moving. We are the Thunderbolt Squad. At this time, a lieutenant clapped his hands and said loudly.
"Alright. Sir. The dispatcher said to Hawke.
"Please report immediately." Hawke handed the telegram to the other party as he spoke. Originally, the dispatcher did not know the contents, because the Goguryeo people did not grasp such a plan, and they did not have a telegram. So, encryption is basically useless. The Qin army also boldly used unencrypted telegrams to send war reports back and forth. This is probably the most daring military action of the Qin army.
Command of the 1st Army of the North.
"Sir. It's a trifle, but I think it should be reported. The latest recruits, or the mountain people who fought with our coalition forces, did their best to steal. White Breath reported with some annoyance. The logistics department found the stolen mountain soldiers, who did not follow the rules of the Qin army at all, and they always did such and such things, and at the railway station and at the main supply points of the stops, the gendarmes had already captured too many of them. They always do things that are out of the ordinary.
"What else?" Yang Duanhe put down the report in his hand and said.
"And these soldiers, there are even those who have escaped." White Breath reported.
"I have already reported this matter to Meng Tian. But he said the mountain soldiers would not run away. Because if they run away, their benefits will be canceled. Then we just have to suspect that they are stealing a lot of material throughout the logistics system. Bai Xi said.
"How much of an impact do these things have on us?" Yang Duanhe asked.
"The impact wasn't huge." White Breath assessed.
"Then we don't care. They came to fight, and I heard that General Meng Tian said that they have their own way of fighting, and they are different from us, they want to go into the rear of the Goguryeo people like hunting, and then harass the enemy by sneak attack. It was a big blow to the Goguryeo people. Yang Duanhe said.
"Sir, I personally don't agree with that. What kind of impact can be brought about by such a combat method is not as quick as the effect of directly throwing the army into the battlefield. Bai Xi said.
"Who knows, now all sides are throwing troops, but no one cares about how to solve the logistical problems." Yang Duanhe said.
"The people of Chu also participated. And the performance is unusually positive. Yang Duanhe said.
This shows that the people of Chu see that this war will not last long. It depends on how it ends. To be honest, there is not much point in continuing to fight such a war, and the next thing is to reap more benefits at the negotiating table. But this time there are a lot of problems, big ones. Yang Duanhe said meaningfully. Yang Duanhe and Wang Jian had earlier discussed the gains and losses of this war in the telegram, and the two of them believed that the Qin army had won the war on the surface. But the reality is that the Qin army lost. The Qin army relied heavily on logistical supplies, and if there were railway lines, or that were cut off, the Qin army would be helpless. The worst part is that they have very little supply on the battlefield. The materials in the rear railway station can be piled up, and the administrator needs to find many places to properly relocate, and behind these proper resettlements has also attracted a series of material theft. There is a lot of crime. On the front line, ammunition, food, medicine and all kinds of supplies were in short supply, and the battle was fought in a reluctant situation, which made them feel very puzzled.

"Yes, keep in touch with the Goguryeo people, we need to keep that contact with them." Wang Jian said.
"Yes, sir. But Lieutenant Colonel Hawke said. Goguryeo is not very receptive to our conditions, and perhaps we need to find another way. Bai Qi said.
"What's the solution?" Wang Jian asked.
"I don't know." Bai Qi just said how he felt.
"Hmm. Forward this telegram first, and then talk about it, maybe the Ministry of Defense will have its own ideas about specific matters. Our task is to fight the Goguryeo people and negotiate peace with us, and only then can we have greater bargaining chips at the negotiating table. Wang Jian said.
"And what about the logistics? What about the railways in particular? Wang Jian then asked.
"Sir, because of the rain, many sections of the road cannot be started, so we can only temporarily build a few disconnected sections." Bai Qi said.
"Be quick." Wang Jian said.
"Yes, sir." Bai Qi nodded.
Xianyang, Qin State.
"I knew that it must be such an outcome." Shang Wen said to Wei Yu.
"But I have an idea personally." At this time, Wei Yu said to Shang Wen.
"What thoughts?" Shangwen asked.
"I'm just a conjecture or a gut feeling." Wei Yi said.
"The situation is like this, I personally think that there must be a part of the Goguryeo people who agree with and support the peace talks, but because it is not out of the core or that his power has not yet controlled the whole situation and has to be suppressed, if we Qin people can support such people to seize power and become the representative of our Qin side, I think, it should be possible." Wei Yu said to Shang Wen.
"If that's the case, then it's not going to be easy." Shang Wen said to Wei Yu at this time.
"The people of Chu are involved, and their purpose is very clear, that is, war blackmail, and they hope to solve this problem through the method of war. What do you say? Shang Wen asked, Wei Yu.
"Reducing the size of the Chu army's dispatch army, we can only do this." Wei Yu thought about it for a moment and said. Shang Wen shook his head.
