The republic took Hainan Island, and the whole of Guangdong was silent. Once again, the powerful force that dominated the world and became famous in the Central Plains only appeared in the ears of the grass kings of all sizes in Guangdong. But by the time Hunan's Southern Alliance was driven to northern Guangdong last year, the people of Quang Nam had felt that the republican might was very close to them. After a while, the present republic seems to think that the south is too poor, and the mountains and rivers are bad. After a year, the tense nerves began to relax. But now that the two divisions of the Republic have gone south to Hainan Island, they immediately made them nervous again. This incident came directly from the southern sea, which once again reminded the republic that not only the 6th Army was strong, but also had a world-class sailor who could fight across sea troops.

With the rapid occupation of Hainan Island by the communist army, at this time all the forces in Guangdong unanimously ceased fighting, began to wait and see the next movement of the republic, the Yuan army in Guangdong has no intention of recovering the lost territory, a few years ago the prestige of the communist army expedition to the capital is still reverberating in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, and now the most hopeful thing in Huguang Province is that the republic will be satisfied if it takes this island, and the republic has already laid down most of Hunan in northern Jiangxi. The Jiangxi Xingsheng and Huguang provinces established by the Yuan Dynasty directly included today's Guangdong Province, which means that the top officials of the two provinces of the Yuan Dynasty were now driven down by the communist army like mourning dogs. Zai Cheng of Jiangxi Province was not in good health, and he died after the fatigue of the journey. After a struggle for power, Huguang Province Zaicheng seized the rights of the entire Guangdong, and it didn't take long for He Zhen to revolt. Now he is busy fighting with the peasant army, relying on the troops who used to buy iron weapons in Hunan, he can barely maintain the situation, and the whip commander of the northern Yuan Dynasty has also confirmed that he is not a cowardly person who is in charge of the overall situation in Guangnan.

But now his nightmare has come, the communist army has eliminated an important source of troops for him in one fell swoop, and a large number of Li troops from Hainan are panicking. Don't be cowardly, but you can't hold back the thought of retreating westward.

6 Hai didn't bother to pay attention to the excitement he brought to the other side, his task was almost completed, and he was about to go back to the 6th year to study, and it was Sun Tao who came to replace him. At this time, He Cheng, a competitor of 6 Seas, was reading the military newspaper, and when he saw a series of actions by 6 Seas in the south, his brows furrowed. This is his adjutant Li Liang saw it, and asked with some doubts: "The 6th general is not plagued in the south, is there anything wrong with the general?" ”。 He Cheng said: "6 Hai did not mention how many enemy troops he had eliminated when he went south, but claimed to have quelled several riots of local minority armed forces, which means that he did not report any war exploits when he went south this time." "I didn't report the merits of the war, why did General 6 do this? Did he give up competing with you? Adjutant Li asked strangely. He Cheng sneered and said, "Give up the merits? He's doing this to hurt people. Looking at Adjutant Li's puzzled look, He Cheng explained: "The army not only calculates the credit according to how many enemy troops have been destroyed, for example, the credit of the 6 seas in the south this time is to open up a new base on Hainan Island for the republic, as for the credit of destroying how many bows, arrows and spears the army has eliminated, it is dispensable to him, but he directly called these people with backward weapons not the army but the riot, which is quite a matter of saying that the military achievements of the cold-weapon army we dealt with before are watery." In the past few years, he has fought few battles on the island of Taiwan, and he has missed several major battles on the Big 6, and we have bullied people with advanced weapons in these battles. Adjutant Li immediately understood these twists and turns. Where there are people, there is struggle.

After Cheng Pan saw the report of the political commissar of Hainan and the summary of the southbound mission written by 6 Hai, he first affirmed the credit of 6 Hai in completing the mission in the south, but this lack of military achievements is indeed a bit unreasonable, but according to 6 Hai's statement, it is indeed unreasonable to say that a group of people who are between the army and the rural underworld with spears, bows and arrows are enemy troops. However, in the past, the communist army used to take down a large area of land in Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi with rifles, and it was also this rabble that fought against it.

That's the end of the military merit, the southward movement of the 6 Seas has reformulated the rules of military merit within the Communist Army, and the weapons are too advanced, making the calculation of military merit more refined. But the republican weapon is still evolving.

Now the Industrial Revolution in the Republican Territory has entered a bottleneck. The Republic's technology is now almost equivalent to that of Britain in the Second Opium War. But there are still big discrepancies, for example, Britain climbs the navigation technology tree, the technology of the marine steam engine has to throw off the republic a few streets, as long as the British in the Second Opium War sends an ironclad ship to the East China Sea, it can completely get out the of the Combald Army's clipper fleet. However, in terms of the 6th Army, the Republican 6th Army had reached 150,000 men, and it did not lag behind Britain in firearms.

But the Republic's current technology seems to be stuck in a technological bottleneck, although a lot of technical difficulties have been overcome. However, there are too many things needed for the industrial system that has entered the industrial revolution, first of all, all kinds of steel, not to mention the formula and drill of alloy steel, and it is difficult for the Republic to find large reserves of manganese, chromium and nickel mines. At this time in China, a few years ago, people only recognized gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin and other common metals, and some alloy steels were occasionally refined, which were named Xuantie, cold iron, Western fine gold and other mysterious names. Since the seventeenth century, European chemists have begun to determine elements through the gò flame color reaction, and now the republic has a bug in the periodic table due to Cheng Pan, and a large number of metal elements have been determined by the molar mass. In the second half of the eighteenth century, the industrial countries had a large number of prospecting talents, and the raw materials needed to make alloy steel were easy to find, and the steel mills of the republic were not even enough raw materials.

Special steels cannot be refined, and some machinery cannot continue to improve its precision because of the material. If the republic wants to continue to climb until the time of World War I, the technology will never be able to make a great leap forward. Republican technology has entered a period of exploration.

But there are a few technologies that have been developed, starting with metal-shelled bullets. Thanks to advances in machining, externally copper-clad cartridge casings replaced paper bullets, and at the same time the manufacture of primers heralded the introduction of the era of fire caps. The extrusion forging machine qì announced the mass production of metal bullets. The front part of this bullet is a lead bullet case, the bottom is a central primer, and the inside is wrapped with a layer of paper to reduce contact with the metal. This bullet factory in Ma'anshan has a total of 1,000 people, and the factory is full of roaring machines and copper debris, and it can work 24 hours a day in the form of three shifts, and can produce 600 bullets a month with a continuous supply of raw materials. This is also just a bullet factory in the Republic. Solving the problem of the production of metal bullets, the Combo Army has become the same as the armies of the Great Powers in the second half of the nineteenth century.

At this time, the production of steel in the Republic had reached 450,000 tons, and the entire Republic Army was equipped with Type II muskets, which could shoot paper bullets or metal-shelled bullets six times, which could be regarded as a rifle in the modern sense. The entire 6th Army of the Republic Army has a total of 145o howitzers. 463 mortars, 272 machine guns. 15 siege guns of 155mm caliber.

In January 1453, another autumn harvest ended, and the republic had been condensed into a whole at this time, and the huge labor force of 14 million people exploded in the terrifying power of the republic, and China in this time and space has never had such a powerful force in history.

Another meeting of the Supreme Council of the Republic was held, and Cheng Pan took a circle on the map of China, which included the first line of the Great Wall in Beijing in the north, Xi'an in Shaanxi in the west, and the whole of Zhejiang in the south. "There's a war next year, and we're going to get to this point. To the north is the Red Turban Army and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and to the south is the Fang Army. What do you think? Everyone was very excited when they heard Cheng Pan's plan, and it seemed that they had been waiting for the news for a long time. Li He asked in a trembling voice: "Commander-in-chief, are we going to start a unified war?" ”。 Everyone looked at Cheng Pan with blank eyes, and Cheng Pan replied: "First of all, we want to occupy this territory, as for reunification, is this China?" Wang Tianzhu interjected: "Laying down these lands, our territory leans on the Great Wall in the north, reaches Yumen in the west, borders the East China Sea in the east, and passes through Yanzhi in the south." Except for Shudi, the essence of the world is occupied, and the rest are barren land, and it is almost impossible to say that it is unified. Cheng Pan said: "Without the real elimination of other forces in China, it is not unified, and besides, the Mongols laid down China and established a dynasty, and the Mongols can also be regarded as Chinese." He Feng muttered: "The Mongols don't see it that way. Cheng Pan turned his head to look at He Feng, and his smiling expression made He Feng very uncomfortable. Cheng Pan said softly: "Came to China to kill so many people, lived for so long, now the strength is weak, want to safely return the grassland, it is impossible, either as a Chinese to merge the land conquered by Genghis Khan into China as a dowry, or as a complete foreigner, we and them completely calculate the blood feud of this half-Jiazi." I believe the Mongols will make a choice. 6Hai said, "But the place is too barren to occupy it, and you have to pay for it." Cheng Pan said: "Mongolia has iron mines and coal mines" Seeing everyone's eyes light up, Cheng Pan felt that the topic was off. So he said: "I'll talk about this later, and now we will discuss the strategic question of how to occupy the land of this circle."

The discussion was intense, and the Republican efficiently standardized the steps of the next year's national exhibition, and at the same time the Republican Army was about to expand to 5o thousand. The gears of war are moving again.
