"The boat still can't work, the waves are big, and it still can't be navigated, this time the wind and waves are a little bigger, and it has been floating on the sea for more than an hour." The young engineer said helplessly to the master.

"It's also a small boat, and if it's a big boat, the situation might be even worse, and we should be glad that this mistake is not huge." The master said.

"Summing up the lessons learned, maybe we still need more things to pay attention to, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." The old master looked at the small steamer that was dragged into the harbor and said. Although the horsepower of the steam engine is more than that of a small ship, it is very weak when loaded on a large ship. The horsepower of the steam engine still needs to be improved. If there are more steam engines, the ship may not be able to withstand it. Bigger ships are needed. It's a conundrum. The old master thought.

Zhangxiong Island.

"After receiving the order, warships from all over the world will come to us to assemble, and the logistical pressure on us here is very high, and the materials stored on the island may not be able to meet the operational needs of the next three months." A staff officer said to Yu Ziheng worriedly.

"Send a telegram to report the situation here, I can't solve such a problem, I only get a small amount of human resources, but in terms of materials, we still need to send them from all over the place. But this situation simply cannot be changed. Yu Ziheng said.

"We in Zhangxiong Island is a very important turnover base and port. Judging from the current material reserves, excessive consumption will reduce the strategic significance of Zhangxiong Island, therefore, I need to get more supplies These things, the Admiralty, the Ministry of Defense, and the General Staff should think of these. Yu Ziheng said.

"Sir, are we going to solve some of it ourselves, for example, we can cut some ammunition replenishment, so that we can effectively solve some of our ammunition problems." A staff officer said.

"No, if you do this, it will affect the situation in Bangladesh, even if the situation in Bangladesh is better than expected, fighting in other regions will require a lot of ammunition replenishment, if the war is lost because the ammunition replenishment cannot keep up, you and I can't afford such a responsibility. Not only that, but it is extremely difficult for those merchant ships and warships to go back and forth, and it is better to let them waste than to load less. Yu Ziheng said. Although it is a way to reduce the replenishment of some materials, but such a way is not the best way, at this time the navigation is all sails, sails are very difficult, if it is reduced, it will cause great losses, this loss is invisible. But it actually affected the development of the entire war situation, Yu Ziheng did not want such a thing to happen, he knew how important logistics and supplies were in the war.

"Don't do it. That's it. Yu Ziheng decided.

As South Korea focused a lot of attention on the vicinity of Bangladesh, the situation seemed to be starting to turn bad for Bangladesh, but this also greatly increased the test of Zhangxiongdao's ability to replenish supplies. Zhangxiong Island was originally a confluence of the South and Western Oceans, and its strategic value is very important. But it is so important that the material reserves on Zhangxiong Island are rapidly declining. This made Yu Ziheng very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious. Because that's the way it is.

Qin State, Xianyang, General Staff.

"The current situation is such that the Sabbatarians have agreed to stop the attack, and our defenses are being extended as much as possible to prevent the Sabbatarians from crossing our lines and attacking the rear of the Dawans." Yang Duanhe said.

"The Tocharians have stopped attacking?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes, they also stopped the offensive, negotiations are taking place on both sides. Such negotiations can take a long time. However, both sides have no intention of fighting. It seems that peace has come again. Yang Duanhe said.

"Hmm. Next, you and I began to think about the reform of the army. Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe with a headache.

"You know, too. The Army's performance in this operation, the weakening of its mobility capability, the further increase of firepower, the serious dependence on logistics supply lines, and the fact that there are also a large number of ethnic minority soldiers training problems, and the racial discrimination is very serious, the War Department hopes to carry out reforms, but I am afraid that if it is carried out according to the War Department's reform plan, it will cause a huge reaction. Wang Jian said worriedly.

"The problem of ethnic minorities is not easy to solve, and this problem has already accounted for more than half of the problem. The Army's funding has been repeatedly cut, and the only way to carry out reform in such a situation is to dismantle the Army. But if it is abolished, it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction in the army, and how will those soldiers be placed? It's a big problem, and if there is an act of war, it's fine, but without it, it's going to be extremely bad. Those were very fierce soldiers. Yang Duanhe said.

"That's what worries me. The failure of the reform will become a big problem, but the current funding is clearly inclined to the Navy and the Space Force, and not only that, but in contrast, there is a large proportion of the army in terms of size, personnel, and equipment, but we cannot but change something. Wang Jian said.

"Reform, to say something ugly, is some trade-offs, such a thing, we have to solve, I think, the best way is to increase some military funding, after all, those retired soldiers are difficult to change, and a large part of technical training and so on." Yang Duanhe said.

"If you reduce it too much, there will be a big problem with the defense. It's a balancing act. I hope that the Prime Minister's Office will clearly consider this. Wang Jian said.

"But when it comes to mobility. In my opinion, the Qin army should increase mobility, at least. Cavalry, as well as soldiers, have a lot more mobility. It is better to be able to rely on railways to solve the task of logistical supply transportation. Wang Jian said.

"And one of the projects that the Ministry of Defense has started that deserves our attention, which is to use air superiority for air replenishment, so that we can also carry out military operations in many areas where it is not convenient to rely on railways, and if the army can increase the number of air forces, the number of army air forces, the types of aircraft, I think, this is a good idea. Unfortunately, there is a lack of funding. Wang Jian said.

"There is no way to do this, the country needs to be built, and it is unlikely that too much money will be provided to us, and if we have too much money, it will become a burden to the country, and the voice of domestic opposition will be very loud." Yang Duanhe said.
