The king blacksmith who let go of the state began to tell the benefits of the gears. He taught the children the principle of levers he had learned in his training class on the blackboard. And tell the children how the seesaw works. Tell the kids that gears can save effort. Just find that fulcrum. Extend the distance at which the force is applied. It's easy to do a little bit. For example, Blacksmith Wang gave an example of how a child can pry an adult on a seesaw if the seesaw is long enough.

It's for kids. This is a very magical point. None of them believed it, but that's what the king blacksmith said. For example, in life, a crowbar can pry very large things. Why is that?

This lesson is full of curiosity for the children, and yes, there are so many reasons why they need to answer. The words of the king blacksmith. For them. It's not the best answer, but kids can get what they want to see from many, many places. In this way, many things can be greatly improved. It was a kind of exploration that inspired them to explore the natural sciences.

4th Infantry Division. Divisional headquarters.

"The situation of our infantry division is the best of the four infantry divisions." Lao Mu said to Yang Lin. Yang Lin was the chief of staff of course. However, the foundation of the 4th Infantry Brigade is still the foundation of the 331st Regiment. Their fighting will and fighting spirit were built on this basis.

"Most of the problems can be solved by the reorganization of the troops. But we have a bad drawback. Lao Mu said worriedly.

"Firearms." Yang Lin said.

"Yes. It's firearms, and what we lack is such things as firearms. Lao Mu said.

"I noticed the situation in the various units, in particular, the three brigades, which were the most combat-ready. That is, today's three divisions. Their situation is very special. During the attack on Huguan County, a large number of firearms were used. And they have always emphasized the output of firepower. The Commander said the same in his recent war report. Let's emphasize the output of firepower, but our situation is a little bad. Lao Mu said worriedly.

"Hmm. The situation in our division is like this. Muskets. Add it all up. But more than thirty or sixty muskets. But we are a large infantry division unit of more than 17,000 people, and this musket is not enough to see at all. The lack of artillery is also staggering. Artillery, there is only one, or instructional artillery. But in terms of our establishment, there should be at least two artillery battalions. But as it turned out, we only had one artillery. The rest are weapons such as spears and broadswords, and this kind of combat is obviously extremely insufficient for our firepower output. It's going to cause a lot of trouble. Yang Lin said worriedly.

"yes. I reported it many times. But the results were not good. Some of our muskets are prioritized for export for trade, in exchange for a large amount of grain, iron ore and other materials. That's for us. It's a good thing, but our equipment can't keep up. Lao Mu was also in a hurry. For such a situation, he is very anxious. The reason is simple. His troops had to be in the same situation as other infantry divisions. Take the musket, for example. The largest number of equipment is the third division. The number of muskets armed with the 11th Regiment of the 3rd Division exceeded 2,100. His infantry regiment numbered more than five thousand people. In this way, two out of five people have muskets, but in the case of their division, no matter how you calculate, five people may not have a musket. The gap is too great. There is no way. The 4th Infantry Division was established on the basis of the New Army of the West Garden and the prisoners of war of the Northern Army. When they took refuge in it. Most of them are equipped with cold weapons. In terms of individual fighting skills. They were the best of all infantry divisions. However, firearms are the worst.

"This kind of thing. We can't wait. Otherwise, there will be big problems. I think you know that very well. Lao Mu said worriedly.

"Yes. But how can we get firearms? These firearms are first and foremost to be supplied to foreign trade for export. It's unlikely that we'll be given priority assignees. In this case, the chief is also very helpless to us. Or. Shall I go to the chief and ask? Yang Lin asked worriedly.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. The soldiers below are a little dissatisfied with us. If this continues, it will be extremely unstable for the military. We can't do this kind of thing, and we can't do more. I think. That's what we do. Just find a way to do this kind of thing well. Lao Mu said.

"Hmm. Sir, I'll figure it out. I'm going to ask. Yang Lin said as he closed his notebook and left here. Firearms are very important to a force. It's for them. It's their second life. But the situation of the 4th Infantry Division was very bad. It is difficult for them to replenish the armament for this for a while.

Lijiazhuang. Outside the War Department. Shang Wu and Jia Xu went out for a walk wrapped in military coats and hats. It's windy here today. It's cold. But staying in the house is a little aggrieved, and. If you think too much about your head, it will be dull. This is for solving some problems. is very disadvantageous. So, the two of them don't care how cold it is outside. I'm also willing to go out for a walk. Change your mind.

"I think that children should not only be taught something by craftsmen, but also by others. For example, the Boy Scouts. I think it's doable, and some kids are very fond of war games. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. I agree. The children have to learn some military skills. In this way, it will make them very interested. It is of great help to replenish our militia, and with such help, many things are still extremely beneficial to us. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. I agree to do so. It's not a big loss for us, and most importantly, a lot of things will make our situation a little bit better. This is a great morale boost. But when it comes to morale, I think we should build our own marching band. Shang Wu said.

"Marching band?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yes, marching bands. This boosts morale. In addition to the military horn, there is a big drum in the army. We should build on that. Build a lot of military bands. Military music can boost morale. This is the case with the Northern Army, and if they can adjust in time, their morale can be quickly boosted. At the same time, it can also greatly improve the appearance of the army. Shang Wu said. Shangwu wants to make a batch of military horns. Tin drums. In this way, they will be able to make their situation better. Drums in the traditional sense also encourage morale. However, the rhythm is somewhat monolithic, and most importantly, the movement is not enough, and some drums also need military vehicles to move. Among the seized materials was such equipment. But for the Republican Army. Such equipment is of little use.

"Hmm. Go for it as you wish. I don't know exactly how it works. Jia Xu said.

"Still, I think. It should be noted that this is a kind of propaganda for our Republican Army. Recently there have been some articles on this side of the story. We can't get to know the outside world very well. We must intensify the dynamics in this regard. Otherwise, our situation is not very optimistic. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. You're right. We should indeed be aware of such things. Otherwise, we are really not optimistic enough. Shang Wu nodded and said. The method used in storytelling is the most acceptable kind of war situation for most people. These commentators express what they see in words. For example, some battle stories, most of them can express such a situation in this way, which is their favorite way. In this regard, Jia Xu believes that they should do the same. In this way, we can actively play some special features to the greatest extent.

"Hmm. I will pay attention to this, and I will also pay attention to large-scale popularization of some problems. Shang Wu said.

"That's right. Or some special circumstances of the 4th Infantry Division, I think, you should pay attention to some better. Jia Xu said.

"What's wrong with them. What's the matter? Shang Wu asked.

"Armament, it's some armament. The number of muskets, artillery equipment of the 4th Infantry Division was too small. Lao Mu has reported several times in a row. However, most of our muskets are given priority to the official army, after all, they are foreign trade orders. But that's it. Their weapons and equipment are seriously insufficient. The muskets were only three hundred. There was only one cannon, and such a number was seriously insufficient. This was formed for the combat effectiveness of the 4th Infantry Division. It's a very bad thing, and a lot of people are already dissatisfied with it. We must solve this problem as soon as possible. Otherwise. The reduction in combat effectiveness of the 4th Infantry Division was secondary. What worries me is the instability of the military. Jia Xu said worriedly.

"Hmm. Truth be told, I have a vision. Shang Wu said.

"Oh. What does this have to do with equipment? Jia Xu asked.

"The armament of the 4th Infantry Division cannot be provided for the time being, but we can provide something that other infantry divisions do not have, I think, based on the 4th Infantry Division. Establish an alternative way of warfare. Or rather. Early Air Force Units. Shang Wu said.

"Air Force. You mean. Troops fighting in the sky? Jia Xu looked at Shang Wu and asked.

"Yes." Shang Wu nodded and said.

"There is enough technical reserve in this area. I think we can let them experiment with it. So that they can get used to this kind of combat. Shang Wu said.
