After capturing Qingde City, the troops of the Quyang Prefecture Army in the Luohe Gorge chose to retreat on their own initiative in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated. This generally means that the Southern Navy has achieved success in the Battle of Quyang Prefecture.
At least it was a strategic success.
Because the strategic goal of the South Korean Navy to enter Quyang Prefecture is not only to control Quyang Prefecture, but also to open up the Luo River Channel and connect the Luo River Channel with the railway networks in Quyang Prefecture, Zisheng Prefecture, and Dongding Prefecture, thereby connecting the four
The state's transportation and supply lines are integrated.
Only by connecting the transportation lines can the four states be connected as one, instead of seemingly connecting the land, but the transportation system is divided.
But it is different now. The main artery of Luohe River is connected with the railway networks in Dongding Prefecture, Zisheng Prefecture, and Quyang Prefecture, and the temporary connecting railways between these railway networks are also being built one after another.
In this case, the four states will be connected into one.
Now that the strategic goal has been achieved, the Southern Navy, which has been fighting continuously for nearly a year since the Eastern Expedition, has slowed down its pace for the first time.
Judging from the reactions of the northern states, in fact, the troops heading north, such as the Second Army, still cannot relax. It is best to take advantage of the fact that the northern states have not yet completed real contact and have not yet equipped with rear-mounted guns on a large scale.
, continue to forcefully go north.
However, although I want so much, reality does not allow it.
The nearly one year of operations has kept the war machine of the South China Sea at high intensity for too long. Front-line combatants who are not on the front line, even the logistics personnel at the rear, are already so busy that they collapse.
Continuous high-intensity operations have already brought the combat machine of the Southern Navy to the point of collapse. If the fight continues like this, the soldiers on the front line will be able to hold on, but many systems such as transportation in the rear will not be able to hold on.
War is never just a matter for frontline troops.
In order to maintain high-intensity operations on the front line, the entire military and political system of the South China Sea Navy continues to operate at high intensity.
Ordinary administrative officials were busy taking over the newly occupied areas, maintaining the stability of the newly occupied areas, restoring people's livelihood, and obtaining various resources as quickly as possible to sustain the war.
In fact, being busy is nothing. The most important thing is that the financial system of the South China Sea was already in the embarrassing situation of bankruptcy in September. The reason why it is still barely maintaining it now is that it is demolishing the east wall to make up for the west.
Wall, and at the same time secretly issued bank coupons on a large scale. Even the South Korean Navy has begun to use military coupons.
The taxes, official corporate profits, etc. that the South Korean Navy can obtain in the controlled area are completely unable to support the huge consumption of a high-intensity war!
However, even if the financial system collapses, the South Korean Navy still cannot stop the pace of the war, so what should we do? On the one hand, it relies on the staff of the financial system to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall, and at the same time, it also secretly issues bank bonds on a large scale.
Use military stamps to keep the financial system running on the surface.
At the same time, under the instruction of Lin Ziran, the Southern Navy Command established the "National Defense Production Mobilization Committee" to coordinate and manage the production affairs of national defense enterprises and ensure the supply of military supplies.
On this basis, the National Defense Production Mobilization Committee integrated major arsenals, related raw material supply, and machinery production enterprises, and successively established Nanzhou Arms Corporation, Luohai Steel Corporation, Nanhai Machinery Corporation, and Nanhai Mining Corporation.
Corporation, Nanhai Transportation Corporation, Nanhai Shipbuilding Corporation and more than a dozen parent companies.
These companies are large-scale enterprises, covering almost all official capital-controlled enterprises related to defense production under the control of the South Korean Navy.
For example, Nanzhou Arms Corporation has more than a dozen medium and large arsenals under its umbrella, including Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, Nanhai Shipyard, Luoan Arsenal, Hetai Arsenal, Dongdingzhou Ordnance Bureau, Dongdingzhou Ordnance Bureau,
Dingzhou Second Arsenal, Zisheng Prefecture First Machinery Bureau, Zisheng Prefecture Machinery Bureau Second Branch Factory, Third Branch Factory, Zishengzhou Ammunition Factory, as well as the newly controlled Quyang Prefecture Qingde Arsenal, Quyang Prefecture Southern Ordnance Factory,
Quyangzhou Artillery Factory.
The Southern Navy took over the land of the four states, and also accepted the arsenals originally controlled by the vassal towns. These arsenals have strong or weak technologies, large or small scales, some are single professional gun and ammunition production factories, and some are
It is a comprehensive large-scale arsenal, including steel, machinery manufacturing, chemical industry and other branches.
Especially the No. 1 Machinery Bureau of Zisheng Prefecture is a typical example. This No. 1 Machinery Bureau is very large and houses more than a dozen industrial departments such as steel, machinery, precision instruments, power, chemicals, mining, and shipbuilding. Basically, this
There are all the heavy industries that should be available in these days. This factory can produce guns on its own without relying on any external forces, including the machinery and equipment for making guns, raw materials, etc...
For these arsenals, the South Navy Defense Production Commission has directly made adjustments. For example, many arsenals own the steel industry, which is not suitable. The steel departments within arsenals such as Zisheng Prefecture First Machinery Bureau will be transferred out.
, integrated into a larger and more professional steel company.
The main body of the integration is Luohai Steel Company. This Luohai Steel Company is a professional steel company with leading technology and large scale. As the main body of the integration, it is perfect and can share technology and management experience. Finally,
Luohai Iron and Steel Corporation appeared.
These head offices are very special. After all, they are special products of the war period. Their industries are all official assets. Their goals are also very simple. Everything is to serve the war.
After the integration is carried out, it effectively reduces the inconsequential settlements between companies and avoids the situation where company A owes company B a thousand yuan, company B owes company C a thousand yuan, and company C owes company A a thousand yuan. In the end, everyone
Being stuck in a debt cycle…
Through the accounting summary, the military only needs to allocate a certain amount of funds to each head office to maintain its operation. It does not need to make a mess as in the past, and the accounts are chaotic. Some companies have been delayed in large amounts of payment, resulting in the loss of workers' wages.
cannot be sent out.
Anyway, the goal set by Lin Ziran for the South China Navy Defense Production Committee is very simple: no matter what means are used, the supply of military supplies must be ensured!
In the end, as long as workers can receive wages, factories can keep operating normally, and military products can continue to be produced, everything else needs to make way for these three elements.
As for profits and the like, that is something that private capital should consider, not official capital. Therefore, the material exchanges between its various enterprises should be considered internal exchanges between enterprises, and there is no such thing as profit settlement.
The problem.
Although the series of measures taken by Lin Ziran in the second half of this year ensured the supply of military supplies and even further increased the production capacity of defense supplies, this still cannot change the fact that the financial system is bankrupt.
So after the capture of Quyang Prefecture, when the four prefectures were connected and became prosperous on the surface, Lin Ziran decided to postpone the pace of expansion and solve the internal problems first.
Otherwise, if you keep fighting at the front, the back will probably be paralyzed and collapse.
