Chapter 824 Military Information Express

At the beginning of December, near the end of the year, Dahua routinely made a year-end summary to summarize the development achievements of the year. Then, these results will be published in the newspapers to share the joy with the people.

When Dahua people see that Dahua is getting stronger and stronger, they can increase their confidence in the court and increase their support for the court.

On December 1, early in the morning, the newspaper office opened and arranged for someone to distribute the newspapers.

Newspapers pay attention to a timeliness, must not be delayed.

The carriage carried the newspaper and shuttled through the streets.

There are servants waiting at the door of large families, and ordinary working families also have mailboxes at the door, and they can directly put newspapers in them.

This is the scene of the wealthy area, and only the wealthy area has such good law and order, and no one steals the newspaper.

As for the slums, the newspaper office put more than 1,000 newspapers into local newsstands, and the newsstands were responsible for selling them.

People in slums also seldom subscribe to newspapers.

Usually, I occasionally go to the newsstand to buy a few copies of what I need, or wait to see the newspapers that others have finished reading and throwing away.

In the palace of the town, Li Shaobin maintained the habit of getting up early.

After breakfast, he routinely reads the newspaper.

There are many newspapers subscribed to by his family, including Government Affairs News, Dahua Daily, Military Intelligence Express, Anecdote News, and Novel News.

The predecessor of the government affairs newspaper was the government's slanderous newspaper, and officials were obliged to subscribe.

The Dahua Daily is the newspaper with the largest circulation, and most people also subscribe.

MI Express is a newspaper that publishes military news. Others may not subscribe to it, but military officials rarely do not subscribe.

Anecdote is an anecdote such as entertainment gossip, which is read when you are idle and bored.

Anecdotes and novels are all subscribed to by the female relatives of his family.

Li Shaobin first picked up MI Express, who made him a soldier.

Today's Military Intelligence Express is also summarizing the results of Yongxing's five-year military operations.

In the five years of Yongxing, Dahua launched a total of 21 large-scale battles, including the Battle of Annan, the Battle of Fusang, the Korean Rebellion, the Suppression of Bandits in Sichuan, the Suppression of Bandits in Hunan, the Battle of Hekou, and the Battle of Haishan. and many more.

The largest one was naturally the Battle of Annan. The scale of the troops dispatched back and forth reached 80,000, and it lasted for as long as half a year, and it is still going on today.

Of course, the results are also quite gratifying, allowing Dahua to add another Hanoi province and a population of nearly 10 million.

The results of the Battle of Fusang were also very good, and almost the entire Kyushu Island would be classified as Dahua.

Moreover, the people of Kyushu Island are very supportive of the incorporation of Dahua.

These are relatively high-profile wars. The bandit suppression battles in Sichuan and Xiangxi are relatively under-reported, but in fact they are not small at all.

In the past, the defeated soldiers left by the Great Ming Dynasty and the Great West formed hundreds of bandits in these mountainous areas.

There are hundreds of people with a small number of people, and thousands of people with a large number of people.

These people do not farm, work, or produce, and they are not beneficial to Dahua's development.

What's more terrible is that these people still have to eat, drink and have fun, so they will loot everywhere, as if they are sucking the blood of Dahua.

For these bandits, Dahua did not show any mercy, and launched an all-out army sweep.

It took a year to screen out the two most ferocious places for bandits, and basically eliminate bandits.

In this campaign against bandits, the Chinese army killed more than 2,000 people and injured tens of thousands, almost catching up with the Battle of Annan.

In this campaign, they pulled out a total of 245 bandit dens, killed more than 18,700 bandits, and captured more than 117,000 people alive.

Among the 117,000 prisoners, more than 2,000 were directly beheaded for their heinous crimes.

The remaining 115,000 people were all escorted to mines for mining, or building roads and railways, and digging canals.

Anyway, Dahua has some work for them.

Dahua likes these free labor the most.

Of course, because they are big Chinese, the court still gave them a glimmer of hope.

As long as they serve five years, they can be released from prison and start a new life.

As for Annan's captives and Fusang's captives, they will work until they die.

Although Dahua promised that they would be released as long as they worked for eight years, their labor intensity was much higher than those of the captured bandits.

Those who can survive three years in the mine without dying are all gifted people.

Wanting to persist for eight years is simply a fool's dream.

The workload of these prisoners is that one person can handle three labors that he paid for.

At present, Dahua has a total of about 400,000 free laborers throughout the country.

Most of them were Fusang people, Annan people, Manchu Eight Banner soldiers, prisoners of the Daming Army, prisoners of the Daxi Army, and other criminals.

"It's another year of brilliant victories. If things go on like this, there will be no battles to fight soon."

Li Shaobin smiled and continued to look down.

In addition to introducing the results of the war, the newspapers also reported the achievements of the military's equipment development.

In the five years of Yongxing, Dahua has added a lot of new equipment.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the pure iron armored battleship. With the argon arc welding technology, Dahua's shipbuilding capability has been improved to a higher level.

These pure iron armored ships are simply giants at sea.

Until they run out of ammunition and food, these Big Macs are invincible.

Another big play

It is a Dongfeng truck.

It's not a weapon, but it works better than most weapons.

With these trucks, it is much more convenient for the Dahua Army to transport troops and supplies.

At present, the production capacity of the arsenal is limited. After a few months, the army has only equipped 100 Dongfeng trucks.

This made Li Shaobin a little dissatisfied. He felt that he should speed up the attack, so that he could attack Shaanxi and Gansu in advance, and then go all the way to the Western Regions.

With trucks available, you never have to worry about logistics again.

In addition to big toys, Dahua has also achieved a lot in terms of individual soldier equipment this year.

The grenade has been improved from a wooden handle grenade to a grenade.

In contrast, grenades are lighter and more powerful.

Because the surface of the grenade is engraved with uneven ravines, so that the grenade can be divided into more fragments when it explodes.

The wooden handle grenade has a smooth surface, and sometimes the explosion only blows a hole in the surface of the iron sheet, and the shrapnel that will not explode is shot in all directions.

This principle, Wu Changqing knew a long time ago. However, in the past, the processing technology was not advanced enough, and it was useless to know.

That is to say, now that Dahua's industrial level has been improved, it is possible to manufacture such grenades.

Rifles have also been improved, and some ace units are already retooling with more advanced semi-automatic rifles.

In terms of sniper rifles, optical sights have also been added to reduce the difficulty of training sharpshooters.

Bazooka, grenade launcher, grenade launcher, light machine gun, these weapons are also equipped with a small amount of special forces.
