1908 Far East Maniac Chapter 150 Logistics

The mountains are reckless. ^Hand ^ hit ^ small ^ say @. Com@ provided ^^ Oe surging. Both sides of the strait are dangerous. The voices of the boatmen and the slender men echoed on the river. Although the river water is cold. But that doesn't stop them from taking a firm step. Especially those slender men who are almost naked at the bottom. Let the officers and soldiers of the republic be impressed.

Although it is already chūn day. But the river is still cold. The slender man pulls the fiber on the fiber road on the shore. From time to time, the legs are immersed in the river. Even with pants on. Nor will it do anything. You might as well strip naked. At least you can save a pair of pants.

Of course. No matter how strong a person is at this temperature, he can't stay in it for a long time. The slender men who pulled the fiber were divided into two shifts under the command of the chief. Take turns pulling the fiber. When the first class was in the river. The other group was on the shore roasting and drinking, salted and dried fish. The fire and the salted dried fish were prepared by him. And the wine is a benefit given to them by the Republican Army. Take a sip that burns from the throat to the heart. The indescribable Bashi. But this feeling of warmth is just an illusion. Wait for the strength of the wine to pass. The cold on his body is getting worse and worse. Fortunately, there is a fire to bake. The internal fire and the external fire are pressing. And the cold was dispelled.

The Republican army hired a large number of porters. Unlike those of the previous hill eight employers. The IRA doesn't scold the slender man. The foot money is idle, and there are civilized dramas to watch. All the way. These slender men have opened their eyes. It turns out that there is such a reasonable Wufu Qiuba in this world. It was in stark contrast to those Qing troops of the previous rìzi.

Work for such an army. Everyone is willing. No need to be rushed. The slender men are also pulling with all their strength. The five-day walk to Rì can now be completed in just four days. This was when Chūn arrived, when the river rose. The knowledgeable old slender men all said. This is the heaven that the hearts of the people want in the future, and it is the world of this republican army.

It's not just the Slender Men who want to see where the IRA passes along the way. Military discipline is strict. Triumphant songs. Each of the people ate pot pulp to welcome the righteous teacher. The party robe brother rushed to be the first, and the brigade could not surrender in just a dozen years, and the total strength of the Republican Army's western expedition increased from 70,000 to 110,000. The total strength of the falsely claimed force has been reached. In this way, the pressure is also heavier. Fortunately, the steamboats transferred by Yuan Shikai, the provisional president of the Republic, have been pulled through the gate by the slender men. Smoke smoking, weaving back and forth on the top of the |. Hardly idle. Rifle bullets, artillery shells, grenades, food and grass are served. Military supplies were continuously transported from Hubei to Sichuan. piled up in the state town. It was then transferred upstream by small boats and wooden boats, following the Republican brigade to ensure the smooth development of military operations. Among them, Chuanjiang fiber has made an indispensable contribution. Arguably. The Republican Army's record. At least a small half of them came out on their own legs.

Embraced by the staff officers. The commander-in-chief of the Peace Army stood tall on the cliff. Holding a telescope. Catch up on the movements of those slender men. I sincerely sighed at the endurance and perseverance of the people at the bottom of China.

"Such a hard-working people. They are the backbone of China. When they woke up. When did our country rise. Zhao Bei sighed.

"Rest assured, Commander-in-Chief. We, the political propaganda team, always keep in mind the important task of opening up the wisdom of the people. Fight for the rise of China" Zhang Jiyang was pushed aside by the staff officers. But he was the first to understand the meaning of Zhao Bei's words.

"Good. You have to be more civilized. Absorb more Sichuan opera artists to join. That's the only way. in order to launch the group in depth. Escort the revolution.

Other than that. You political propagandists are more than just propagandists. The ideological work of the troops should also be stepped up. Let's take an analogy. The military commander is the father of the warrior. You preachers are the mothers of the warriors. It is not only necessary to make soldiers understand the importance of military discipline. At the same time, it is also necessary to let them feel the warmth of the troops. Make them understand. To fight for the team is to fight for the family. Now you political preachers have the power to recommend "Battle Warriors". Make good use of this power. Establish prestige among the warriors. Substate Campaign. Although the victory is easy. But this "Battle Warrior" is still going to be recommended right away. Now the medal has been shipped to the state. It will be awarded by my own hand. You should draw up the list and give it to me as soon as possible. The reward of the reward. The promotion of the promotion. That's the only way. In order to maximize morale. ”

Zhao Bei nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Jiyang can be regarded as being righteous. At present, the know-how of propaganda and mastery of the troops has basically been understood. On the side of the Political Propaganda Commissioner, he can let it go.

Just when the commander-in-chief and Zhang Jiyang were discussing the ideological work of the troops. Most of the staff officers' minds were on the teams that were meandering along the shore. The shape of Sichuan is complex. It is not an easy task to unfold and close the troops. To protect the baggage fleet. The main forces could only march along the banks of the Yangtze River. A difficult trek on a steep hillside trail. Stepping on mule and horse dung formed two long, single columns. Not only the speed of the march was greatly affected. And once it was intercepted by a small group of Qing troops. The entire main force had to stop advancing. Waiting to rid the recalcitrant enemy. This further slowed down the advance of the troops. It's heartbreaking. But there is nothing to be done.

The biggest difficulty in moving forward is the right means of transportation. If there were enough steamboats. The troops will be able to sail against the river. to be faster

Da chóngqìng. Of course. The premise is that the waterway of the Sichuan River must be cleaned up. Deep-fried dark stone. The battle of Irikawa. It is very good for all staff officers to realize the importance of diligence. and the extreme urgency of ensuring logistical transportation

"Wait until the battle is over. The first priority for our IRA is to buy ships. Jiang Fangzhen put down the binoculars. glanced at everyone. His gaze stayed on the Commander-in-Chief's side.

"Buying ships is only one aspect. Carriages, mules, and horses were also to be filled into the army in large quantities. In the future, we will have to buy cars and planes. These are all indispensable tools for military modernization. The Republican Army wants to become a modern army. Attention must be paid to logistics. Pay attention to the mobility of the troops. ”

Zhao Bei raised his hand and pointed to the river valley. Talk one.

"To fight a war is to fight logistics. Our means of logistics and transportation are very backward. Don't say compare with the Great Powers. It is to compare with the Beiyang Army. We're also falling behind. Barry. You inspected the military in Germany for two years. Believe in the maneuver of the German army xìng you will be impressed. But. The German army's high mobility xìng was piled out of silver. Don't say anything else. The total mileage of the railways alone is staggering. Now not only the railways - pitiful. And most of them are in the hands of foreign consortia. Even the Jinghan Road transferred troops. Belgium also nodded. to Sichuan. Not even an inch of railroad. The backwardness of the country inevitably leads to the backwardness of the military. If you want to strengthen the army. It must be strong. If you want to strengthen the country. It is necessary to develop industrial and commercial industries. Only the country is rich. The team is talented to be well equipped. Barry. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm a dream. That is, to achieve the localization of heavy weapons within five years. Initial industrialization of China within 20 years. Now we can only buy heavy artillery and ships made by others, but in the future. All heavy weapons equipped by the Republican Army must be made in China itself. this era. Only industry can save China. ”

Listened to the commander-in-chief. The crowd was silent. Then sighed. Although now the Republican Army has mastered the industrial base of Wuhan. But whether it's the Hanyang Arsenal or the Iron and Steel Plant. The quantity and quality are not satisfactory. Heavy equipment can only be made into mortars. Even machine guns could not be made. Not to mention heavy artillery. As for the steamer. Now there is not a single decent shipyard in the whole of China. It is not up to the task of building large merchant ships. Building warships is even more extravagant.

"The republican revolution is only the first step. We revolutionaries still have a long way to go. Politics, military, economy, culture, education, industry. These are the top priorities. Ignoring none of these will do the trick. China's backwardness is all-encompassing. We must transform the old China into a new China in the shortest possible time.

Comrades. I'm not going to wait. We waited. But the great powers can't. rì this is not the same. Time is running out for history. You can't count on someone else. Only the Republican Army can hold up this crumbling country. Before the populace awakens. Let our Republican Army act as the backbone of China. ”

Zhao Bei talked eloquently. But the love is heavy. Although it has only been a few months since this era, the impression of this era on him is very bad. He never thought of it. China in this era is so backward. Industry and commerce withered. National numbness. The great powers run amok. The bureaucracy is corrupt and degenerate. In order to bring such a dying country to the road to power in a short period of time. Even he, the traverser, didn't have much in his heart. But since it has been devoted to this era. Then you can't watch this, and the clan continues to sink.

"Long dream for a thousand years, how to wake up. Who makes the bell in the township? Don't send Shaoguang to the elderly. The old man ...... to himself, "There is a loud military song on the mountainside." Let the staff officers who are immersed in their thoughts wake up. Look up at the Commander-in-Chief. But they saw him looking westward. The figure in the glow makes people feel more intimate.

"In front of me is the yellow kudzu tree. And then there is chóngqìng. Yesterday, the Chóngqìng Chamber of Commerce sent someone over. It is hoped that our army will try to avoid accidental injuries in battle. If you can not attack chóngqìng, it is the best. The Chóngqìng Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy one for 500,000 taels of silver, so that the goods of the merchants and the people are safe. Lan Tianwei, chief of the General Staff, seemed to see Zhao Bei's thoughts. Explain on the side.

"Don't conquer chóngqìng. Can you take Chengdu? 'Fighting is also trading. You can bargain without it. Jiang Fangzhen sighed.

"Merchants. It's about bargaining. After taking chóngqìng. I won't ask for a tael of silver. I want the gentry of Sichuan to know. I, the commander-in-chief, didn't come to scrape the skin. ”

A word from the commander-in-chief can be considered to put an end to this topic. Silver is important. But the will of the people is more important. As a guest army. The IRA must not be blinded by immediate interests.

Everyone raised their eyes and looked into the distance. Listen to the sound of cannon in the distance. It was the vanguard of the Republican Army that was engaged in an exchange of fire with the Qing army. Although the battlefield is not visible. But judging by that dense cannon fire. The battle was quite fierce.

“chóngqìng。 Can it be done at the lowest cost? Zhao Bei pondered.

It's not just on his mind at the moment. Everyone is asking the question: Can chóngqìng overcome it at the least cost?
