Volume 44 Chapter 9 Patrol of the War Zone
Work does not always bring people a pleasant feeling, but they have to do it, especially the more important the position, the less likely it is for people to come completely by nature, and many times, because of the responsibility, people have to cheer up and deal with it with their hearts.
On the second day of the "Tanabe Talk" with Lu Yanyu, Zhang Tie also took Lu Yanyu, General Wei Ji and Si Nong, who were in charge of logistics in the entire Anxi Governor's Theater, and Si Nong Tang, to take a flying boat to inspect the situation in the four prefectures of Huanzhou, Kangzhou, Ningzhou, and Bingzhou.
In addition to inspecting Guantian, Zhang Tie also inspected some important mines and large-scale industrial production bases and factories in Sizhou.
In addition to food, the weapons of the various regiments in the theater are provided by the theater of operations, ranging from belts, military uniforms, water bottles, general swords, armor, and baggage, to all kinds of steam tanks, armored vehicles, and various military vehicles.
Now the total number of Taixia legions gathered in the four prefectures in the territory of the Anxi Governor's Mansion is nearly 480 million, so many troops, both the Taixia Fourth Army and the Anxi Governor's Prefecture State Army, it is definitely not an easy task to complete the supply of logistics and equipment for so many troops.
Fortunately, Taixia has a deep foundation and has a strong state power mechanism as a backing, the logistics and military needs of nearly 500 million people, once dispersed to the entire Anxi Governor's Mansion, it will no longer be a difficult thing, hundreds of Grade A cities supported by the equipment manufacturing industry, thousands of medium and large mines and metallurgical production bases, tens of thousands of supporting industrial production plants, more than 10 billion acres of official land, more than 7 billion still stay in the war zone. Civilians who directly or indirectly serve the Theater Corps, a sound ground and air transportation network. It has been tested for hundreds of years and has a perfect logistical operation and support mechanism for the integration of military and civilian use...... These are the confidence that Taixia can confront the demons in the western war zone.
The speed of the flying boat is fast. If you don't stay, you can fly almost 20,000 kilometers a day.
Zhang Tie made a round of inspections in several states, and it took less than seven days, and it was during these seven days of inspection that Zhang Tie really understood a truth - the so-called holy war is not only a holy war for knights, but a holy war for everyone.
At a metallurgical base in Ningzhou, Zhang Tie saw an experienced veteran technician who had been retired for many years, for the sake of jihad. He returned to the smelting workshop and took a few apprentices to personally supervise the quality of each furnace of molten steel.
In the farms of those official fields in Bingzhou, Zhang Tie saw that the alien border people who had fled from the subcontinent to Taixia and settled down were furious when they heard that the demons had attacked Taixia and wanted to destroy their homes again.
In a small city around the continent, Zhang Tie saw a whole city of people, men and women, young and old, each family was now working day and night in their own workshops to make several special steel fasteners on belts and combat boots for Taixia's legions.
In an arsenal that produced steam armored vehicles in Connecticut, Zhang Tie saw that the director and chief engineer of the arsenal had moved their family to the production area. Moreover, a military order was issued to ensure the quality of the factory's products......
In the past seven days, Zhang Tie has met a lot of such people, and most of them are ordinary people, for the sake of holy war. All of them are doing their best in their posts.
It was also after seven days of inspection that Zhang Tie really understood how powerful he was in the hands of the general.
In the four prefectures, there are more than 5 million officials at all levels who directly obey him. Any one of his orders can influence the command of more than 7 billion people working for the logistics system in the theater. A total of 68,772 government-run industrial and mining enterprises at all levels above designated size in the theater were at his command. This year, the accumulated funds of the Taixia Theater that he can use are 56 billion gold coins, half of which will flow into the government-run enterprises, and most of the rest will be tendered and purchased all kinds of military supplies and equipment in the theater.
In addition to these, Zhang Tie now has a huge amount of resources at his disposal, just the number of airships he can dispatch in the war zone has reached 64, the number of airships has reached more than 200,000, and the number of other ground vehicles is difficult to count.
It is not an exaggeration to say that such power can cover the sky in the rear of the war zone.
After understanding this, Zhang Tie was able to better understand Lu Yanyu's ambivalence of gains and losses when he first saw him.
For people who love power, such power can make people feel like they are in heaven, youthful, and can make people as difficult to extricate themselves as drugs, and for Zhang Tie, this huge power only made him a little vanity and swelling in just a few days, and when the spring tide brought by this huge power subsided, this inspection of the war zone, what left him the most impressive was those ordinary figures that he saw in ordinary posts, because in those ordinary figures, Zhang Tie saw his own parents and parents, There is another self who did not obtain the Black Iron Castle......
This inspection did not let Zhang Tie get lost in the illusion brought by power, but made him more determined to do what he wanted to do.
On January 20th, Zhang Tie and Lu Yanyu returned to Kangzhou City after completing their inspection, that is, on the same day, not long after Zhang Tie returned to Kangzhou City, two flying boats flying from the Candle Dragon Ling landed on the square of Sinong Hall in Kangzhou City.
……
Zhang Tie smiled, still holding three walnuts in his hand, looking at the open hatches on the two flying boats.
As soon as the hatch of the first flying boat opened, Zhang Tie's elder brother Zhang Yang and Li Tao, Lu Yishan, and Sun Qiming walked out, followed by many people behind the four of them.
When Zhang Yang saw Zhang Tie, a smile appeared on his face, and when the others saw Zhang Tie, especially the two rows of majestic gold-armored guards behind Zhang Tie and the people who were smiling and waiting in the official uniform of the Sanpin Si Nong, they all looked slightly excited.
Zhang Tie didn't want to talk about any pomp and circumstance, but at this time, even if he didn't talk about it, the invisible aura of these people around him had already explained everything-in the entire Taixia, I'm afraid that only the senior officials at the level of the superintendent were qualified to let the officials of Congsanpin stand aside with a kind smile and accompany him and the others.
……
"It's hard work......" Zhang Tie looked at the old brother and smiled.
"It's not hard, this is coming by flying boat, even if it comes from Youzhou, it will be a few days of hard ......work" Zhang Yang also smiled, looked at Zhang Tie from head to toe, nodded, the two brothers exchanged a look, their brothers don't need to be polite, everything is in plain sight.
Seeing that Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang had finished meeting each other, Li Tao and Lu Yishan hurriedly stepped forward to greet Zhang Tie.
"I've seen the head of the house!" Li Tao and Lu Yishan both had some excitement on their faces, and they couldn't hide their awe of Zhang Tie in their expressions, neither of them could imagine that Zhang Tie had only been in the war zone for less than half a year, and he suddenly soared into the sky and became a powerful and powerful figure in the entire Taixia Western Theater.
A month ago, the news that Zhang Tie was appointed as the general of the war zone by the great Sima Zuoqiu Mingyue came back to Youzhou, the entire Youzhou, the entire Candle Dragon Leader and Huaiyuantang were sensational, as Zhang Tie's generals, Li Tao and Lu Yishan, were even more excited, Zhang Tie's status was improved, it was equivalent to the improvement of the status of the two of them, from the moment Zhang Tie was appointed as the general of the war zone, it also means that Zhang Tie's influence has officially gone out of the Northeast Governor's Mansion and officially become the top-level person among the Taixia wealthy families and knights. Goodbye Zhang Tie at this moment, Li Tao was still somewhat reserved, and Lu Yishan's whole person was already red with excitement.
"You're welcome!" Zhang Tie smiled and nodded to the two of them, "You have done well in the Candle Dragon Territory during this time, I have heard about it, I hope that this time you will also show your skills in the Candle Dragon Territory in the Western Theater and contribute to Taixia......
"It's all the ladies in the Iron Heart Hall who are well-led and strategic, we don't dare to take credit, this time the head of the family recruits, we will naturally die!" Li Tao and Lu Yishan glanced at each other, Li Tao opened his mouth and said with his fists clenched, and Lu Yishan, who was a little clumsy, nodded again and again on the side. Both of them know that Zhang Tie called them here this time, naturally they want to reuse, and the two of them will follow Zhang Tie, and they will inevitably open a new height of their lives and careers in the Anxi Governor's Mansion, and as long as they do the things that Zhang Tie explained well, the so-called wealth and fame are just idle things.
Zhang Tie nodded, very satisfied with the attitude of the two people.
Seeing that Li Tao and Lu Yishan had finished saluting Zhang Tie, Sun Qiming took a deep breath and stepped forward, "I've seen a real person!" ”
"I called you here this time, I don't know if my little junior sister Lu Shasha blames me, who is a senior brother, so that you husband and wife can't see each other for a short time?"
Although Zhang Tie was joking, but the meaning of the words, but did not treat Sun Qiming as an outsider, the tone seemed close, Sun Qiming was a little excited when he heard it, and hugged his fist at Zhang Tie, "The real person has something to do, that is the trust and grace of my Sun family, this time, before leaving, Neiko had carefully explained, I must not mistake the real person's explanation, Neizi also asked me to bring a sentence to the real person, so that the real person should take care of himself on the battlefield, the junior sisters and sisters of the real person on Qianlong Island are still in contact with each other, All the sisters and sisters hope to see the demeanor of the real drunk sword dance again in the future......"
The little junior sister who used to cry and love the shy has become a mother, a wife, and has her own family, which is inevitably criticized and all kinds of gossip outside, since Zhang Tie revealed his identity, although they are all in the candle dragon collar, but Zhang Tie has never seen his little junior sister in private again, at this time Zhang Tie heard Sun Qiming talk about the first senior sister and sister on Qianlong Island and the connection and expectations and blessings for themselves, Zhang Tie's heart, all of a sudden, mixed feelings, full of emotion......
