In the new barracks, the soldiers' training trumpets came and went, and the companies on the field were conducting various queue training and formation training. Since the current opponent is still in the cold weapon main mode of fighting, how to deal with the opponent's infantry charge or even cavalry charge has become the main research topic, and at the same time, the night battle, disturbance war, and ambush war that plague all armies in this era are all difficult problems that the army has to face.

Due to the expansion of the production capacity of the steel plant, the site and scale required for the preparatory work such as mineral processing and ore washing are also expanding, and the military camp that was previously installed in the reserved mineral processing site was relocated to another new site a year ago, which is not only larger than the original site, but also closer to the two docks to the south. The various light and heavy weapons deployed along the river, coupled with the troops that can be quickly reinforced, can make them have no return! And because the new barracks have been fenced off by a long wall, not only does it have a higher security surname, but also because of the special environment of the barracks, some important strategic meetings in the mountain village are held here.

Today, here is once again the big men of the mountain village, and these military and political bigwigs in charge of the overall military, industry, agriculture, education, administration, etc., have gathered together to prepare for the issue of deciding the expansion of the mountain village again.

"At present, we have just heard Qin Er's introduction to the specific situation of the control area, although we have basically completely controlled the actual control area and established a good buffer zone, the momentum of industrial development and foreign sales is also booming, and the infrastructure construction is also gradually advancing, at present, the roadway from Xincun to Gutian has been completed, the simple road of Siding and sand is being built and some of the carriages can be passed, and the army construction is also very good, some people say that the prosperous era is nothing more than that...... But the situation behind the actual situation may not be known, behind this peaceful and prosperous scene, there are many crises! ”

Deng Shifeng, as the largest **oss in the mountain village, began to decide the main tone of this meeting after Qin Er, the second person, made a simple and comprehensive overview of the overall development, because in the previous meetings, there were not no voices opposed to continued expansion, so to a certain extent, Deng Shifeng must first get rid of the voice in this regard, and use a more common phrase in later generations to describe it - unified thinking.

"The common people under the rule all say that it is good to live with us, but where is the good? We only let them pay 20% of the grain, and we also let them earn a share of the income by working in the factory and even rolling out the infrastructure...... However, few people know that the current grain output is so low, and the grain payment of 20% per mu is pitiful, and this grain is simply not enough for us to support such a big stall! Moreover, the transportation infrastructure that began to be rolled out this year is also a large consumer of food, and the people under the rule are benefited, but we must also profit from it to fill the hole in our place! Moreover, the industrial population without any land in Xincun is also growing rapidly, and the number of full-time servicemen who are officially registered and semi-naturalized in the army has also reached more than 2,000, and the ratio of military to civilian personnel is close to the limit of 13 to 1 (the actual proportion of the population under the rule, excluding the population in the buffer zone...... Next summer is the day when we go bankrupt and run away......"

Deng Shifeng's words have a hint of cold humor, which is very appropriate here, which makes people laugh but can't laugh, but they can't avoid this kind of cold humor reality. And a few bigwigs who hold the opinion of not continuing to expand abroad are also in their hearts, they did not expect the situation to be so serious, and it is not to blame them, since the separate management of their own government affairs, those in charge of industry are no longer involved in agriculture, and those engaged in military affairs are no longer involved in education, and the part of each person who does his own thing naturally caused this situation to happen.

"Shi Feng, if you do what you said, we do have to fight again...... But doesn't the inclusion of the new population also increase the cost of our control? ”

Lao Sun Tou is one of the bigwigs who does not advocate temporary expansion, he is now in charge of the construction of industrial ports, he is not against expansion, but he does not recommend such rapid expansion, in his eyes the pace of expansion should be slowed down, and wait until the current actual land and buffer zone are fully digested and built before starting. Moreover, he is very unhappy with the construction and expansion of the army after pulling away many students to do basic administrative work, the construction of industrial mouth not only needs a large number of labor, but also needs cultural knowledge and surname personnel to manage and promote research, but every time the students of the short-term training course graduate from school, the vast majority of them are separated by the military mouth and the administrative mouth, if it is not for the long-term training plan Those senior talents who have been trained for a long time are mostly assigned to his industrial mouth, The old grandson had already carried a hammer to find trouble with Qin Er and Luo Dan......

"Lao Sun is right!" Deng Shifeng first praised an old grandson's problem, as a leader, he is not afraid to see the problem, he is afraid that he can't see any stupid problem and can't find it, such a leader is a fool.

"So we didn't have a practical strategy for the purpose of this operation, or rather...... Let's eat a piece, grab a piece! ”

Deng Shifeng pulled open a three-meter-wide map hanging on the wall; Unlike the previous local maps, which only focused on mountain villages, this time what was shown in front of everyone was a map of Guangxi; This map is based on the traffic map of Guangxi and a small number of topographic maps that Deng Shifeng crossed over, but because there is no contact or even visit in western and southern Guizhou for the time being, there is no more information except for rivers, mountains, and a few key towns; The eastern, central and northern parts of Guangxi are marked according to the information provided by Huang Zhangshi, and the large and small circles, triangles and rectangles scattered along the river not only represent the passes, towns, villages and cities, but also represent the poor distribution of population and economic development in Guangxi.

"The lack of troops and the actual conditions in which we are threatened by the enemy on all sides doom us not to be fattened in one go, so we can only choose where we can eat and digest; Judging from the current conditions, don't consider the north and east, the east is full of mountains, sparsely populated, and it is not very valuable to occupy, that is, the mineral deposits are abundant, but just opening the road is enough for us to have a headache for a while. And the north is either the Yao people in the mountainous area, or they are over the mountain to attack Lingui County, Guilin Prefecture (note: from Gutian, that is, Baishou crossed the mountain to the foot of the mountain, less than five kilometers away is the former residence of Li Zongren, because the land in that area is flat and the water is abundant, and it has always been a population and grain production area)...... Although Lingui has a good population and grain production...... But it is the backyard of King Jingjiang of Guilin, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, which is not conducive to our control...... In addition, the middle Tianping Mountain is not only a natural barrier to block the other side, but also an obstacle to the mobility of our army...... Forget it......"

Deng Shifeng grinned and said that he couldn't take the important grain-producing town in the west of Lingui, and turned the baton in his hand from the land in Lingui to the south near Liuzhou City, and saw Deng Shifeng pointing the finger here, which made some people here shocked and excited, it is a city, not only has a large population, but also has a relatively developed commercial and transportation hub!

"In the past two years, we have basically controlled Zhongdu and Pingshan to the south, and even Dongquan has infiltrated to form a buffer zone, and expanding to the south seems to be a good choice, and even Liuzhou City through the infiltration and intelligence reconnaissance in recent years, it seems that it is not a problem to lay down Liuzhou City, but ...... It's not a good choice. ”

"Liuzhou City is a government city after all, with a population of tens of thousands and a transportation hub, taking Liuzhou City seems to have a lot of benefits for us, but we don't have the ability to control such a big city, pay attention, it is control, management, construction and defense!"

"All of us here can say that we have a lot of experience through the construction and management of new villages in the past few years and the training of the base areas under our current rule, but this experience can be used to manage such a large city...... If there is no chaos within ten days, you can already burn high incense to celebrate! This sentence is not to destroy the ambition of my own people, but to seek truth from facts, the management of a mountain village and the management of a city are completely different levels and levels of management, in addition to the management level of our high-level personnel, but also need the emergence of a large number of grassroots administrative personnel...... At the moment, we are still struggling with the amount of culture...... We'll have to wait a little longer......"

Deng Shifeng knew that his words would make the people below a little uncomfortable, but what if they were uncomfortable, the facts were in front of him.

"And even if we have the ability to manage Liuzhou Mansion now, but if we take Liuzhou Mansion, we will directly strangle the waterway and land transportation lifeline of the four directions of Guangxi, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty can't stand it, those officials in Guangxi can't bear it, even those local officials have to jump up, and controlling Liuzhou will cut off how much of their wealth and even lifeline, we can only endlessly deal with attacks from all directions, which will only make us fight everywhere and be tired of coping, this is not the situation I want."

Hearing that Deng Shifeng gave up the capture of Liuzhou City made many people a little disappointed, these people who grew up in the mountains have almost never been to the city or even the county seat, if these rural buns are allowed to build the city as the master...... Many people have such show-offs, revenge, and a little bit of dark psychology......

Observing the changing expressions and psychology of the people below, Deng Shifeng smiled, and stayed with these people here for a long time, don't you know their little caution, don't you panic, Deng Shifeng threw a bombshell and evoked their kind of attack again**:

"But don't be disappointed, I said not to occupy it but I didn't say not to fight it!!" (To be continued.) )
