Cao Ang believes that those fighters are very experienced, and the difference lies in their treatment, because of competition, their treatment has encountered some problems, and in such a situation, they need to solve some other problems to deal with things. In this case, this is extremely beneficial for them.

If his father's army could hire such men with combat experience, the quality of the fighters would be greatly improved, and they would only be responsible for combat training and teaching some skills. These are enough to give their army a great boost in combat effectiveness. For such a point, Cao Ang is extremely recognized. He wrote this down in his notes. Maybe I'll use it in the future.

IRA, Ministry of Intelligence.

Intelligence officers are constantly coming in and out. The intelligence services are like that, they either end the war, or win the war. And before the start of the war, they will be all kinds of busy.

"Based on what we've gathered. The size of the armies organized in various places is estimated to be limited. For example, Han Fu in Jizhou, that is, Han Fu in Julu near us. The number of people he was able to muster was less than two thousand. Most of these personnel are people with no combat experience. Many of them were only people who transported grain and grass after the autumn harvest. The intelligence officer explained.

"Hmm. So they won't gather more fighters? Xu Dou asked.

"Yes, sir, in terms of weapons, they are also in a very bad situation, they are only equipped with weapons such as spears, and the armor still needs to be re-equipped, manufactured, and it is estimated that only a third of the personnel have armor to use, and the others simply cannot reach more armor. As for firearms, they are only symbolic equipment, and most of them are not available with such weapons. The intelligence officer said.

In terms of weapons, most of the troops in the IRA's intelligence collection are cold-armed weapons that are outdated, and many troops are still reluctant to import some firearms to increase their equipment.

Xu Dou just shook his head. Then find a document and record some of his thoughts on it.

The use of firearms allows some organizations to recruit more soldiers into the military through some general recruitment, because the training, as well as the outsourcing of logistics, make it much easier. Reduced training and easy handling of weapons allowed them to recruit more ordinary people into it, and the size of the army could be greatly expanded as long as they were trained in discipline.

For example, the current Dong Zhuo is doing this, most of his army are Guanzhong people, and many people are just very interested in growing crops, and they are resistant to fighting.

But most of them were forcibly drafted. Each of them just carried out a situation of proficiency in weapons. Under the high-pressure situation of military discipline, they had to participate in the battle. Although there are many drawbacks, in terms of quantity, Dong Zhuojun has rapidly increased a lot, which the Republican Army has to admit. The number of their army has exceeded 200,000 standing troops, and if more are mobilized, it may exceed 250,000. In contrast, the coalition forces formed by the Kwantung region did not have a numerical advantage. Moreover, it is still in a disadvantageous state in terms of equipment, and in such a situation, the situation can be imagined. This is a very bad situation for them.

Jingshi, Luoyang. The soldiers of Dong Zhuojun's 30th Corps finally got their salaries. But their superiors just handed them something like pieces of paper.

"This is our lord, and the banknotes issued have the same effect as the Republican Army banknotes, and they have an equivalent value, a one-to-one exchange ratio. The lord is waiting for a reward. Concessions, giving them more than half of the reward, you should be grateful to your lord. The quartermaster shouted loudly from a high place, and the soldiers lined up to receive their salaries.

A lot of the soldiers were grumbling. Because they robbed before, they can still get some good things, and whoever robs them how much they rob, even if they are finally confiscated, they can also get some benefits of their own. But now the situation is that they just gave pieces of paper.

Many soldiers were extremely uninterested in pieces of paper, despite repeated explanations from their commanders that the thing was the same as money. But the soldiers still believed that money was real copper money, and pieces of paper were waste paper to them. Despite the discontent, the military discipline was there, the gendarmes were everywhere, they could arrest and execute anyone who disturbed the morale of the army, and these were not people they could provoke.

"Can this thing be spent?" The dog asked a few of his companions helplessly. They all shook their heads, very worried.

"Fuck, fuck him. If they don't accept it, Lao Tzu will give them a good look, and let them see what Lao Tzu can give them. Several veterans said dissatisfiedly, waving their weapons in their hands.

And the dogs, they are all recruits, and the rank is just the so-called private. Nothing. They looked apprehensively and followed the veterans into the city, where they had to buy what they needed, winter clothes. Even though it will be sent, they don't know what it will be.

I have to say. Dong Zhuo is very good at buying people's hearts, and a large number of soldiers are allowed to enter the city to buy, which is a very large number. Only one-twentieth of the personnel were on duty, and most of them entered the city.

A large number of soldiers swarmed in. The soldiers forced open the doors of the shops. Although they could close their doors and say they were closed, the GIs didn't care, they took everything they could and threw the pieces of paper at them. And it means that's money.

Many shopkeepers bitterly said they could send something, but asked them to return it. After all, the price is too expensive. It's simply too much for them to bear.

"The money is all for you. What else do you want? "The dogs took a couple of coats. Then he yelled impatiently. Naturally, they know that this is not good, but if the other party does not take it, their money will not be spent. In this case, the other party can only accept the loss.

Such a situation continues to play out in various parts of Luoyang City. Although many people oppose it, it is not accepted. But under the threat of weapons, they had to accept such a situation, after all, these are nothing compared to the loss of money.

The lack of funds has made it even more difficult for them to deal with, which is also a new situation that is difficult for them to accept.

A large number of paper money that Dong Zhuo had ever printed, and in this way, entered the market, and they entered the market through the threat of soldiers' weapons. Prestige is force. Obviously, this has seriously disrupted the socio-economic order. This is a stage of loss and catastrophe for any business activity.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was very satisfied.

"Banknotes, although good, but I think this denomination is a little small. How about printing a thousand dollars? Dong Zhuo asked Li Dao.

Li Dao had no choice but to agree. In order to ensure that the printing goes smoothly. Li Dao increased the number of people again, and now the number of people in the entire printing workshop has exceeded 1,000. But even so, Dong Zhuo's demand is still very large, which cannot meet his psychological expectations at all.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo proposed a solution of his own, that is, to change the denomination of printing. In this way, with the same number of prints, the value of his money is correspondingly greatly inflated.

Li Wei didn't know what inflation was, and he didn't know what the impact would be, but what he did know was that it was crazy and there seemed to be something wrong with it.

And so it did. I think we're doing a very good job of that. Dong Zhuo said. Li Dao complained bitterly.

Lijiazhuang. Inside the War Department.

"The entire economic order of Luoyang has been dealt a heavy blow, not only that. Some of our businessmen have also suffered great losses. Jia Xu said with a telegram.

Shang Wu looked at the telegram, although he had expected this for a long time, but he didn't expect that when it really happened, Shang Wu also felt caught off guard, at least their situation was in an extremely unfavorable state, in such a situation, this was extremely bad for them.

"It's a bad situation for us, and it's even bad." Jia Xu said.

"We can't stop Dong Zhuo's crazy behavior now." Shang Wu said. The issuance of banknotes was beneficial to Dong Zhuo, and his military expenditure was very large. And it's very high. The issuance of banknotes is the only solution.

"But if we do that, we will be in a very bad situation, or even a very bad situation." Jia Xu emphasized.

"At present, our commercial power has only suffered some losses, but they have not taken such measures in the military and in a large trade, we are only putting some diplomatic and trade pressure on the other side, and as for the rest, we simply cannot put more pressure on the other side." Shang Wu said.

Dong Zhuo still has a bottom line in doing things, and he knows that if he trades with these so-called printed banknotes, the Republican Army will immediately turn its face. Because paper money is worthless, it's just a pile of waste paper. It's worse than waste paper.

"This, okay." Jia Xu said. The Republican Army was only robbed by some merchants, and other things were relatively favorable. Shang Wu also expressed helplessness about this, but this kind of thing, they can only let Jia Xu develop, otherwise, they are unlikely to do other things.

In this regard, Shangwu has no good way to oppress the other party. After all, there is still a great cooperative relationship between the two sides. Neither side tore the last cheek to act.
