Chen Li is also very busy here. He has two tasks in hand now. One is to recruit as many troops as possible and organize the Qin troops to go to the front line; the other is to arm the Dahua troops so that they can also
can become a reliable combat force.
But in fact, both of his tasks were very difficult: Qin had been in a quagmire for several consecutive years and was unable to carry out large-scale mobilization; the same was true for Dahua, so the situation was almost the same.
The front line was waiting for troops, and he had no good idea. Mobilization would take time. In Qin's situation, mobilization would take even longer.
The Tang army's advance was too fast. In past wars, it would have taken more than a year to cross the entire Dahua region.
But now, it only took the Tang army less than two months to reach the old capital. If they are willing to go faster, it seems that it is not impossible.
The reserve forces of the Qin Army have almost been recruited, and the veterans in their 30s and 40s have been stuffed into the ranks and sent to the front line.
What is left now are ordinary young people who have never joined the military. They come from all walks of life, but they can't fight.
To be honest, Qin is now an industrial country, and it needs a lot of workers. These important productive forces cannot be easily sent to the front line for consumption.
Each department has its own relationship and will issue some certificates at critical moments to protect the most important personnel in its unit.
For example, factories that produce steel will keep their production workers. After all, steelmaking is also a very important job during wartime and cannot be stopped. Therefore, such factories will issue "exemption certificates" to all workers to ensure their safety.
Workers can go to the front without being forcibly conscripted.
Factories that produce steel have such proof, and factories that produce cables also have such proof... There are factories that produce guns, there are factories that produce tanks, there are factories that produce aircraft, there are companies that produce explosives, gunpowder, and various chemicals.
There are also...
Yes, while the current industrial system has liberated a large number of manpower, it has also imprisoned a large number of manpower. Qin's mobilization work was in chaos due to time constraints, and many people were working hard not to go to the front lines and die.
Chen Li was sitting in his office, worrying about how to send a large amount of supplies and personnel to the front lines of the old capital.
His railway system was destroyed, and at most he could only reach Wangdu. In fact, with the Tang Army's long-range strategic bombing, his large amount of supplies could only reach the station at Daxiguan at most.
Continuing to the east, traffic is basically inaccessible, so a large number of troops can only move forward slowly carrying their own food supplies, weapons and ammunition.
Even so, these troops could only stay in hiding during the day and go out at night to avoid the Tang army's large-scale bombing and attacks by tactical attack aircraft.
The time wasted on the road and the materials consumed on the road are very alarming. For example, the tanks of the Qin Army almost always need to replace their tracks after arriving at the front line before they can continue to participate in the war.
The equipment of the Dahua troops armed on the spot is even more interesting. Under normal circumstances, the infantry of the Dahua troops are only equipped with a Mauser 98K rifle. The standard equipment is 50 rounds of ammunition, a bayonet, two grenades, and a steel helmet.
and military uniforms and other items.
Because the Qin army did not prepare many winter uniforms and discarded a large number of them on the way to defeat, the Dahua troops did not actually make any changes.
In other words, on the battlefield, the Dahua people wore the Dahua military uniforms they once wore, and fought with the occupiers wearing Qin military uniforms against the "invasion" of the Tang Empire.
This is definitely a very fantasy thing. The troubles caused by such different military uniforms within the Qin army may together cause more headaches for Qin commanders than the Tang army's attack.
…
Another person with a headache is far away in the Lanes Empire. The Lanes Empire was built by the Datang Group. In the now huge capital city of Lanes, there is a palace called St. Lanes Palace, which is the residence of the emperor of the Lanes Empire.
Now, Lions I is visiting Dragon Island in the Tang Empire, so this place has temporarily become a palace without an owner.
Sitting in the office of this palace, the Crown Prince Regent was sitting on a chair, with no expression on his thin face.
He has been thinking about a very serious question for so many days: Does he still need a father? If he really nodded and made his wish to the monarch on the throne of the Tang Empire, he would
May become the second emperor of the Lions Empire.
But, is an emperor who is put on the throne by others, asks others for help, and looks up to others, still not a real emperor?
There was always a voice lingering in his mind. He really wanted to listen to this voice, then step onto the throne and sit on it and become Lions II.
He is confident that if he takes that position, he will do better than his father who was captured by the enemy. He has his own ambitions and even has a mature plan!
When he was the crown prince, he was already thinking about many issues, such as how to make the Lines Empire stronger... He planned to learn from the Tang Empire and launch a vigorous reform in the Lines Empire!
After he becomes emperor, he will break with the declining landowners and gentry group, divide the wealth of these silverfish, and use it to expand his empire.
Once he follows the Tang Dynasty and eliminates these classes, his empire will become powerful. He will be supported by the people, and he will become the greatest emperor in the history of the Lions Empire!
He has even made a lot of preparations for this day, and he has united with many modern businessmen. These businessmen, chaebols, and bureaucrats have become his most solid backing.
As long as he takes that position, these people will become his supporters and can help him eliminate those obstacles, allowing him to flex his muscles and make Lyons the second "Great Tang Empire".
In fact, this is also a portrayal of many countries: the secondary industry in these countries is booming, and the ancient primary industry is beginning to lose its dominant position.
The status of the landowners and gentry was in jeopardy. Some of them transformed into capitalists and bureaucrats, while a few die-hards still remained in their positions.
But it is obvious that modern countries no longer need these positions, so many countries are squeezing the living space of these people.
Compared to ten years ago, the rebellion of the Tang Empire has begun to affect the world. Many people see another future that they have never imagined.
"Then let him...never come back again." Lions II raised his head, his eyes becoming sinister and firm.
