Chapter 568: The Role of Propaganda

An air battle ended like this, the casualties are nothing, for the 600,000 Russian troops, it is simply minimal, but the blow to morale is incomparable, today has become a disaster day for the Russian army, from the attack on the small station in the morning to the current airship showdown, there is no good news.

After a little ploughing, the northwest airship began to return, for a large number, almost occupying more than a dozen square kilometers of military camps, the threat caused by a few machine guns is almost minimal, large-caliber naval guns are about the same, a simple air battle, 10 minutes, the northwest fired a total of 40,000 special high-explosive bombs, the helium airship itself is not strong, almost half is left, and the ground attack for a while, consumed almost 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and then can no longer fight.

Intelligence shows that the Russian army has 8 airships, who knows if this information is 100% accurate, in case there are still them, or they are mobilized from other places, but they have no bullets, then it is all over, it is difficult to just escape with speed.

Watching the airship leave, the panicked Russian army slowly regained its calm, the big guy in the air, for the oppressive force of the ordinary Russian army, I am afraid that it is still above the large-caliber artillery, the artillery can always think of a way to dodge, but when the airship ploughs the ground, all that can be done is to wait, don't hit yourself, lose the Russian airship, for the Northwest Army, there are no countermeasures.

After leaving the confines of the barracks and going a few dozen kilometers to the south, the airship slowed down and slowly moved forward with the speed of cruising, summing up the results of the battle with each other, as for the battle damage. Because the protection of the Northwest airship is relatively good, there is no at all.

Radio waves travel hundreds of kilometers across the wasteland. Transmitted back to Cai Yi's headquarters, the headquarters that had always been a little worried burst into cheers. At 8:0, the northwest made a good start, and the undamaged results killed the Russian airship, the most important thing is that the air superiority has been gone, and many young staff officers have raised yì, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, with the help of this opportunity, continue to attack the Russian army, using large airships. Carpet bombardment of the Russian army in Chita below to consolidate air superiority and kill the enemy.

This one was directly vetoed by Cai Yi, and the Chita side now has hundreds of thousands of troops concentrated, in a sense, attacking these armies cannot produce a huge effect, and now the airship can be equipped. It's just an ordinary mortar shell, there is not even a special aerial bomb, and the accuracy is not high, and being able to have a 10% hit rate is already very high. This is still the case of a large-area, surface attack, if for a single target attack. How strong shit luck does it take to be able to hit.

If the Russian army does not attack. The trading city will be happy to be at ease and continue to consolidate the defensive line. If the other side attacks, the airship will be dispatched to strike at the opponent's rear, and in the big battle, the airship can really play a role in the defensive battle, for the opponent's logistics county, supply lines, and arms transportation.

The airship suspended its activities, at most in a wide area, to conduct reconnaissance, to find out what the Russian army was doing, perhaps because the airship hurt morale, a did not move, continued to train the Russian army on the Chita side, separated by hundreds of kilometers of the Siberian wilderness, the two armies formed a confrontation.

After thinking about it again and again, Cai Ye even recalled the special forces, except for the only Chita nearby, a few necessary points to monitor the opposing Russian army, the others, all called, a surprise attack on a small station, from a certain Cheng dù above, has made the Russian army absolutely vigilant, and then go down, not only will the effect not be very good, but it is easy to cause the other party's counter-encirclement or trap, the current intelligence and detection methods, far less developed than in later generations, special forces long-term and continuous activities behind enemy lines, is not a very good thing, isn't there a saying, often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet, destroy some supplies, hit hundreds of soldiers, really go wrong, maybe dozens, or even hundreds of special forces have to fill in, this is not cost-effective.

The fighting on this side of the Siberian wasteland gradually stopped, and neither Brusinov nor Cai Yi were ready to continue the attack, and Brusinov continued to adjust his troops, while Cai Yi, quietly waiting, sent reinforcements from the northwest, this was the first large-scale support from the rear.

It is said that it is a supplementary soldier, in fact, it should be regarded as a trained recruit, these soldiers have gone through about 6 months of military training, and after all aspects of training are qualified, they are sent to the front line of the trading city.

Baotou Special Administrative Region, night falls, but it is a bright light, a sign of a big city, the north once again started, the impact on Baotou is not great, or most of the citizens, did not feel the war in the north, Baotou is also developing step by step, the factory except a few months ago, the most tense moment, entered the wartime, now except for a very small number of military support enterprises have not canceled the wartime, most of the others have been canceled, Baotou's production and life, into a calm state.

Today, it is the return of a group of front-line personnel, this is already the fifth batch this month, and the last batch, all the honor guards and soul guards are very familiar, all the flowers and cypresses, there is no way to transport back the body, it has been cremated on the front line, and it is an urn in the coffin, but the etiquette and etiquette are above, there is no sloppiness, the coffins are all good nanmu, and the military flag of the Northwest Army is covered above, which is currently a four-star on a blue background, representing Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Baotou Special Administrative Region.

In the past month, about the war against Russia, in-depth propaganda began to continue, the heroic sacrifice of front-line personnel, laid the foundation for their tranquility, the martyr's cemetery under construction, not only attracted the condolences of countless citizens, but also attracted donations and materials from everyone, in addition to Yang Yuanzhao and the company's shareholders to give the majority of the head, the number of others is also a lot, and the accumulation of small amounts, almost reached hundreds of millions.

The current wealth of the Northwest definitely surpasses that of China, and even most of the European powers. Because of the strong production capacity, and occupy the whole of China, and even part of the world market, from a certain Cheng dù above, the ability to absorb gold is also very strong, superb production efficiency and strong supporting facilities in the northwest, so that most of the factory owners can make money, the northwest of the minimum living security and the minimum hourly wage system, so that the wages of workers are also very high, the mobility is strong and the high bonuses of group enterprises, so that others to open factories in the northwest, if there is no high wage, almost no recruitment.

It can be said that in just 4 years, the northwest has developed from an ordinary border town to a metropolis, there are still many deficiencies, but the people's life, significant improvement, according to the 1911 Northwest economic construction white paper, the minimum annual wage in Baotou City, Northwest China, reached 668 yuan, the salary of ordinary skilled workers, is as high as 800 yuan, this yuan is the silver dollar, the Northwest dollar temporarily uses a fixed exchange rate, and the contrast with the silver dollar is one to one, and the contrast with the US dollar is 2:1, 400 US dollars a yearEven in the United States, you can live a very good life, generally the middle class can enjoy, in the United States, the average textile female worker's salary, in the 8-12 appearance, other workers, also rarely able to exceed 15 yuan, prices and the like, China does not know how much lower, the same silver dollar and the purchasing power of the dollar is completely different, the car produced in the northwest, the cheapest, is only 250 yuan, and even workers can also according to wages and provident fund, these things, loans and exemptions.

After the emergence of Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest, the social changes are so great that no one expected, these workers in the northwest, 4 years ago, 5 years ago, were just destitute and dispossessed peasants, homeless people, and homeless people, in just 4 years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in them, they have bought houses, they have industries, they can eat meat, some people have also bought cars, the most poor, they also bought bicycles, and the comfortable days have made many people still feel like they are in a dream.

Things that I couldn't think of before are now in front of us, and in this case, the cohesion of the northwest is so strong that it can be said that no one has thought of it, and anyone who wants to take away their happy life and their hopes will be opposed and attacked all the time.

In the martyrs' cemetery, people will come to visit every day, see the progress, pay tribute to the martyrs at the temporary placement point of the martyrs' ashes, and the martyrs' work office under the jurisdiction of the military committee will also send the pensions belonging to the martyrs to the relatives of the martyrs.

Preaching martyrs, preaching sacrifice, this is the established strategy, all the propaganda media are extremely concentrated, so the birth of cohesion and the northwest effect, so that last month's production capacity, compared with last month, increased by at least 20%, excluding the promotion of new technologies and new factories, this proportion is also 11%, this is a huge value, and therefore, the northwest government began to take the initiative to study the role of propaganda in industrial production, and further expand the propaganda work.

If the construction site of the martyrs' cemetery is one of the most lively places in Baotou at present, another lively place is the recruitment point, where there are several long queues at any time, and many people spontaneously come to sign up to become soldiers and defend the country, which has become the consensus of the young generation in Baotou.
