Outside Handan, the 1st Infantry Division of the Republican Army, Veterans Conference. Such a meeting made the commanders of the 1st Infantry Division feel very helpless. Because the 1st Infantry Division became the 1st Infantry Division of the Army. And the second, third, and fourth all have their own formations. This is difficult for some veterans to accept.

But today they have to be discharged today.

Sergeant veteran Chen Pin is an excellent assault soldier. In the earliest times, he served as a spearman, later to a shooter, and later, they all had bayonets. But the personality of the assault still needs them to do it.

Chen Pin's fighting skills are excellent, but the problem is that veterans like him have retired. Yes, decommissioned. This made a veteran like him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't figure out such a thing until now.

But today's General Assembly would like to let him make a presentation. It is said to solve such a series of problems. Let the veteran be mentally balanced, how can he know such a balance? Chen Pin was very embarrassed.

"Old product? What's wrong? At this time, a veteran came over and asked Lao Pin.

"Well, the chief asked me to make a report. I'm going to talk about this, I'm a big boss, let me fight bayonets, I know, but, let me say this, how can I talk about it. I won't. Lao Pin said helplessly. He was asked to write a report, but he only wrote a title.

"This, this matter, I can't help you, you can see for yourself." Saying that, the veteran smiled and left. Lao Pin was very helpless and worried, his grandmother's, he felt, he had never encountered such a thing on the battlefield, he himself felt that his legs were trembling, but fortunately, there was still some time.

The conference began very quickly, and in order to help solve the psychological problems of these veterans, which Shang Wen specifically pointed out, he needed to be able to help solve some of these things in such a situation, to make their situation extremely favorable, and in such a situation, he hoped to be able to improve the help to a greater extent. In such a situation, all they need to do is to be in such a state.

"I am also a veteran, I also served in the 1st Infantry Division, once, there were many brothers like me, when we joined such a heroic unit, when we joined the army, we were completely helpless, our home, there is no more. It was the 1st Infantry Division, which gave a good home. But now, we all have to leave this home, and we are reluctant. It's really reluctant. The veteran said so.

But later, I realized that we were thinking narrowly. The Republican Army is a family everywhere, and the whole society is our family, and in such a situation, entering the society, into the entire system of the Republican Army, this is our new home, and this is also a new task. The veteran said so. He is now a policeman in the Republican Army, maintaining social order. Maintain justice in society.

Lao Pin figured out something, yes, they were too narrow-minded. They just saw one of their own homes, and they were reluctant to give up this home, but they took care of the small family and forgot everyone, and in such a situation, their losses would be quite serious.

If everyone thought that, they would have lost all the wars.

This veteran said it well, don't look at him as a small policeman, but he maintains peace on one side, isn't this a new battlefield? And then there are the workers, who make more products, who not only feed themselves, but who are able to make everything profitable. They produce ammunition and deliver it to the front, which is also an order. It is also a new kind of battlefield.

How Lao Pin figured it out, he didn't know, but what he knew was that there were many things that had to be thought like this, had to be done this way, and only by doing so could they make their situation more favorable. In this way, their situation can be made more meaningful.

"Me. I won't say. Lao Pin was still very nervous and stood on the stage.

"Hahaha." The soldiers below burst into laughter.

"Don't laugh, I really won't say, the chief asked me to write a manuscript, and I can read it out according to the manuscript, but, but I can't write it, except for another title, I haven't written anything again, really." Lao Pin is very honest, and even, many things are developed in one situation or another. He didn't know how to deal with such a situation.

"The chief told me to say, I don't know how to say it. However, I still have to find a way to solve this kind of thing, just now I listened to what those veterans said, they have entered the society, this society is a new battlefield, our First Infantry Division, who has been afraid of whom, we are also temperamental people, our fighting, our First Infantry Division's record is excellent, this is a new battlefield. Lao Pin said.

"That's our job. What are you afraid of, we're just retired. There will be wars in the future. We old guys still serve the country. "Lao Pin said very simply.

"Okay." The soldiers applauded, although they had some pimples in their hearts, their 1st Infantry Division had honor, and for the sake of such honor they must do something they should do, this is the character of their 1st Infantry Division. Even if such a character enters society, they are not troublemakers.

This was the end of the 1st Infantry Division's expulsion meeting. This meant that the 1st Infantry Division would be an infantry combat unit of only 2,000 men, and it would only be in combat situations that they would be rapidly expanded, and when there was no combat duty, they would become extremely calm.

However, in the case of large-scale reorganization, the 1st Infantry Division could not avoid such a situation, and they had to adapt to the trend of such an era.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"About special operations." Shang Wu looked at Zhang Liao's report, people like Zhang Liao had already entered Shang Wu's sight, judging from his combat report, he was very tactical thinking, and he was very innovative and bold ideas. Judging from the operational report, Zhang Liao's writing ideas are very clear and extremely serious, and he is a natural chief of staff.

"It costs a lot, we need to tilt some combat resources, from selection, formation, training to operations, we need to invest a lot of money, this money, it may be, we build a special operations brigade." Jia Xu said with the report.

"It could cost two infantry divisions. Military spending has not decreased. Jia Xu said so.

"Well, and we need to invest more and more research costs, which is naturally quite a bit expensive." Shang Wu said. The Republican Army cannot withstand the pressure of too high military spending, so their only way is to reduce the size of the army, streamline the administration, and adopt the method of building professional soldiers and elite troops to improve combat effectiveness, which is an important factor for the Republican Army to take the initiative to reduce the number of combat soldiers.

But in the other direction, building elite troops is not a simple matter.

Shang Wu established a special brigade in accordance with Zhang Liao's idea. This is an infantry regiment, but the cost is quite large.

"Although the cost of investment is large, the amount of materials we need is quite large, and judging from the future situation, this is conducive to further improving our combat combat effectiveness." Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. But the investment is very large, and what I see is distress. Jia Xu said. Saying that, Jia Xu handed over the financial statement to Shang Wu.

Shang Wu reluctantly signed, which required them to pay a greater price.

The cost of building elite troops, especially the Republican Army's special forces, is considerable, for example, in terms of weapons, they need to use new types of spirit. In addition, they had to be equipped with new firearms, such as single-barreled firearms, which could no longer meet their needs during assault operations, and the institute had to take advantage of the double-barreled firearms that were originally equipped with cavalry units. At the same time, they also use other weapons and equipment. For example, in terms of new ammunition, there are scattered bullets, which maximize their assault combat capabilities, which far exceeds the previous projected investment, which is beneficial at any given time.

Jingshi, Luoyang.

The Xiyuan New Army is carrying out new weapons and equipment, and the descendants of the Xiyuan New Army, especially the troops under Jian Shuo's control, will be the first to be equipped with flintlock weapons. This made many other troops feel very envious.

"Weapons are good, but it's too hard to get them." Cao Cao said helplessly to Xi Zhicai.

Arquebus weapons are okay, because some pipes can be poured to achieve such a favorable situation, but it is very difficult to process flint pipes. The reason is simple, it requires a lot of technical reserves. Or even a bureau of production tools. Luoyang is simply unable to meet such a demand, and there is only one way, that is, imports.

Luoyang imported a certain number of weapons from the Republican Army, but these weapons could only equip a certain number of troops, and unfortunately Cao Cao's troops were not among them. And Yuan Shao's troops are no longer among them. Jian Shuo is controlled by his own elite troops.

Cao Cao was also extremely helpless about this, after all, they still needed a lot of things. Cao Cao didn't have so much money to buy so many weapons, so they were watching.

"We can't make up for the advantage in weapons, but we can achieve this effect in other ways, for example, we can use tactics or training advantages to make up for such a deficiency." Xi Zhicai said.

"Hmm. It seems that this is the only way to go. Cao Cao nodded. The upgrade of weapons brings great inconvenience, but weapons are only one aspect, and the role of people in another aspect is also very large.
