With the gradual implementation of the huge reorganization of Jihua, Anqing and Wuhu are also constantly changing. Soldiers and horses go first before they move food and grass, and logistics supplies account for a large proportion of modern troops. Rommel of the Desert Fox once said, "The first shot in war is fired by a quartermaster." "With the reorganization of the new army and the patrol battalion, logistical problems have gradually become apparent. There are a total of 23 battalions and more than 10,000 horses, which is almost equivalent to the strength of a town in Beiyang. Before, the number of people was small and it was not visible, but now that the number has been expanded, the military uniforms, uniforms, shoes and socks, and daily food of more than 10,000 people are a headache. As the head of the Anhui New Army, Hu Rui is also a whole circle, and the army of a certain party in later generations has a logistics department responsible for handling these daily affairs, but what now? The family background of the new army is only a little pitiful on the surface, and the more than 40 German instructors hired are already very reluctant to cope with the current expansion, let alone set up a logistics department. The Mauser 98 production line introduced in Anqing has just been put into production, and the group of "old glass" in Ma'anshan is also working day and night with the Germans. Almost all the available human resources on hand are all occupied, and it will be too late to recruit through Shanghai. In the final analysis, everything is still not considered comprehensively, and I did not pay attention to the accumulation of talents in this area before, and now I am reaping the consequences.

In later generations, Taizu Rabbit once said, "There are no conditions, and the conditions must be created!" "Hu Rui, who will almost be forced to go to Liangshan, can only learn from the 358 Brigade to be self-reliant. I paid out of my own pocket to invite the local parents and officials in Wuhu and almost all the businessmen and squires to have a meal, and also invited the most popular girl in Fenglailou to accompany her. The wine table finally found a way, and finally found a way, and finally brought together everyone present with a dividend of 20% of dry shares. He cashed all the checks he earned from the Germans for $150 and converted them into silver, and bought more than 300 acres of vacant land in the suburbs of Wuhu in one go. Then the wind was released with great fanfare, preparing to build an industrial park in the suburbs of Wuhu, and all individuals and collectives with funds and strength were welcome to participate in the bidding. It would be a common occurrence in the West, but it was a rarity in China. Even Zhu Jiabao himself couldn't understand what Hu Rui was doing, and for a while, Hu Rui, the commander of the New Army, became the most popular figure in Anhui.

After referring to the opinions of the German advisers, Hu Rui roughly calculated that in order to solve the logistical problems of the troops, at least one rubber shoe factory, one clothing factory, one pharmaceutical factory, one chemical gunpowder factory, one canned food factory, and one clock factory were needed. Hu Rui, who watched six factories in a row, was dizzy, and everyone's eyes were red, this is a lot of fat! This time, Hu Rui's movement was too big, and the British, who had always regarded the Yangtze River basin as their own territory, could not sit still at first. The British had great interests in the Yangtze River Valley, and the infiltration that lasted for decades after the Opium Wars allowed the British to gain a foothold here, and there was nothing they did not know about in this area. Previously, Hurui bought 10,000 Mauser 98 rifles from Germany, as well as an entire steel mill and a production line for Mauser 98 rifles (the British did not know the content of the agreement and thought that 10,000 rifles were also purchased from Germany). Orders worth more than $1.5 million made all British businessmen in China look red fiercely. This time, the rumors were heard again, and the businessmen, large and small, could no longer sit still, and went to the British Consulate in Qing to carry out various activities, asking the consul to intervene in the name of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and give at least a share of the cake for Britain. What are you kidding, although Britain at this time has been going downhill, its powerful naval fleet and huge domestic industrial output value still support Great Britain to sit firmly on the throne of Shijie. At least until the end of World War I. At the same time, the United States, as a new industrial power, also got involved. Unlike the British aggressiveness, the consul of the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai went to Wuhu in person and lowered his shelf to meet with the co-president. As a guest from afar, Hu Rui had to push aside the work at hand and personally took Mr. Consul to Anqing and Wuhu for a walk, in addition to the hand-picked Anqing Manufacturing Bureau and the New Army camp, he also specially visited Zhu Jiabao. The American consul in the New Army camp looked at the German officers who were busy coming in and out with an unkind face, and it was obvious that the United States had missed another opportunity to set up its own spokesperson in the Yangtze River Valley. As for the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau, Hu Rui said hello in advance that all the things related to mortars, infantry runs, submachine guns, scopes and other new weapons were all hidden, and only the production line of the Mauser 98 rifle imported from Germany was in full swing in the huge workshop. Seeing this, Mr. Consul's face became darker and darker, and his attitude became more and more respectful. To be honest, the United States at this time was still a little brother in the capitalist shijie, although it had strong economic power, it was difficult to show its advantages due to the lack of a market, and the army and navy, which had been languishing since the end of the Civil War, really did not have the confidence to threaten the Far East.

If you want to say that the most haode to fight against raze is the former Beiyang minister Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang. The old man relied on the militia to start his business, and he supervised foreign affairs for decades. The fiasco of Beiyang in the first year of the first year of the first year was multifaceted, and after the defeat, someone had to talk about it and carry the black pot. Li Zhongtang, who was known as the father of the Beiyang Navy, became the best candidate, and was shot in the nose by a Japanese ronin when he got off the train at Maguan, and he was drenched in blood and directly dyed the yellow coat. The old man didn't say a word, and Zuihou pointed to his face wrapped in gauze at the negotiation table and killed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in compensation. After returning to China, he handed Cixi the yellow coat stained red with blood -- this horse coat saved hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the Qing Dynasty. After the intervention of the Three Kingdoms, the time to return to Liao was also from the old man's handwriting, although he was knocked a large sum of silver, but he finally asked for the Liaodong Peninsula back. A weak country has no diplomacy, and if you lose a war, who will treat you, a defeated country, as a green onion. As for the silver, have there been fewer of Cixi's gardens and Manchu princes and brothers walking birds and fighting crickets over the years? (The author has no intention of overturning the case for Li Hongzhang, but he can't help but sigh that if China wants to hack a person, it is completely to death.) Hu Rui still understands the principle of cutting meat and feeding wolves, and he can't afford to offend anyone at this stage! Although he really doesn't like British goods, they are old and expensive in terms of machinery, and the cost performance is very low.

At the end of May, the bidding for the industrial park, which had been noisy for more than half a month, finally settled. The British took the cannery, the Germans took over the clock and pharmaceutical factory, and the unexpected gunpowder factory was handed over to the Americans by Hu Rui, and it was established in the name of a chemical factory without the knowledge of Zhu Jiabao. As for the light industries such as the rubber shoe factory and the quilt factory were taken by the local squire, the ending of zuihou can be regarded as a happy ending. The Americans finally took the opportunity to insert a nail in the Yangtze River valley, which the British had been controlling, and the overjoyed Americans not only gave a big gift, but Zuihou's offer was also very low. Not to mention the Germans, who had already made a small profit, patted his chest on the spot and said that he would send an advisory group to Wuhu again to help establish the staff and logistics office. As for the British, who were complacent and had planned to take care of everything, there was no way to be satisfied, who let Germany and the United States follow in. All the factories in the industrial park Hu Rui out of the land, won the bid for machinery and funds to build the factory, zuihou income from six or four accounts, this is Hu Rui's bottom line, must occupy the initiative. As for the quilt factory and the rubber shoe factory, two percent of the sixty percent of the dry shares were drawn and given to the local parents. Although he was reluctant, he couldn't help it, at least this time he completely tied this large group of people to his own boat. At the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution, both Germany and Britain supported the Qing government to suppress the revolution, and with these two factories, Britain and Germany had to weigh at least the use of force against Wuhu. Wuhu itself is close to the river, and there is no danger to defend around, once the warships go down the river and bombard the industrial park, Hu Rui will definitely immediately cry and return to the pre-liberation period. With common interests, Wuhu also has an extra guarantee.
