Volume 44 Chapter 9

Work does not always bring people a pleasant feeling, but it has to be done, especially the more important the position, the less likely it is for people to completely let themselves go. Many times, because of the responsibilities, people have to cheer up Cope with it mentally.

On the second day of the "Tianbian talk" with Lu Yanyu, Zhang Tie also took Lu Yanyu, General Wei Ji, who was in charge of logistics in the entire Anxi Governor's Mansion theater, and Si Nongtang, Si Nong, together Take a flying boat to inspect the situation in the four states of Huanzhou, Kangzhou, Ningzhou, and Bingzhou.

In addition to inspecting the official fields, Zhang Tie is more important to inspect some important mines and large industrial production bases and factories in the four states.

In addition to food, the weapons of each regiment in the theater, ranging from belts, military uniforms, kettles, general swords, armor, and supplies, to steam tanks, armored vehicles, and various military vehicles Supplies are provided nearby.

Now the total number of the Taixia Legion gathered in the four states of the Anxi Governor's Mansion is nearly 480 million. With so many troops, there are both Taixia's Upper Fourth Army and the Anxi Governor's Mansion's state army. It is definitely not an easy task to supply the logistics equipment of so many troops.

Fortunately, Taixia has a deep foundation and is backed by a strong national power mechanism. Once the logistics and military supplies of nearly 500 million people are distributed to the entire Anxi Governor's Mansion, it will no longer be a difficult task. A Grade A city 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, and more than 7 billion acres are still in the theater, directly or indirectly The people serving the legion in the theater, the sound ground and air transportation network, and the military-civilian integrated logistics operation and support mechanism that have gone through hundreds of years of testing... These are the confidence that Taixia can confront the demons in the western theater where.

The speed of the flying boat is very fast. If it does not stop, it can fly almost 20,000 kilometers a day.

Zhang Tie took a quick tour of several states, and it took less than seven days. During the seven-day tour, Zhang Tie really understood a truth-the so-called Holy War is not just about knights not his holy chalk, but everyone's holy chalk.

In a metallurgical base in Ningzhou, Zhang Tie saw an experienced veteran technician who had retired for many years, return to the smelting workshop for the holy chalk war, and took a few apprentices to personally supervise the heat quality of each batch of molten steel .

Among the official farms in Bingzhou, Zhang Tie saw the anger of the alien frontier people who had settled down after fleeing from the subcontinent and came to Taixia when they heard that the demons had attacked Taixia and wanted to destroy their homes again.

In a small town in Huanzhou, Zhang Tie saw a whole city of people, no matter men, women, old or young, every household is now making belts and some combat boots for Taixia's army in their workshops day and night. A special steel fastener.

In an arsenal in Kangzhou that produced steam armored vehicles, Zhang Tie saw the director and chief engineer of the arsenal move their home to the production area, and issued a military order to ensure the quality of the factory's products...

After seven days, Zhang Tie met a lot of people like this, and most of them were ordinary people. For the holy chalk war, everyone did their best in their posts.

It was also after seven days of patrolling that Zhang Tie really understood how much power he, General Wei Ji, had in his hands.

In the four prefectures, there are more than 5 million officials at all levels who directly obey his orders. Any of his orders can affect and command more than 7 billion people working for the logistics system of the theater. There are a total of 68,772 industrial and mining enterprises,

He listened to his orders. This year, the reserve fund of the Taixia War Zone that he can use this year is 56 billion gold coins. Half of this money will flow into government-run enterprises, and most of the rest will be purchased in the war zone through bidding. For military supplies and equipment, those who are eligible to participate in the bidding are rich and powerful families from various states in the war zone. Those rich and powerful families who are eyeing the military supplies procurement in the war zone made Zhang Tie, during this inspection, every place he went, was surrounded by local rich and powerful families. The big clan shouted and hugged each other, fawning on them like an emperor.

In addition to these, the various resources that Zhang Tie can use now are also massive. The number of airships he can dispatch in the theater alone reaches 64, and the number of airships reaches more than 200,000. There are countless ground vehicles, and he has the final say on the trains and railways in the entire theater, as well as the inventory, deployment, and allocation of various materials.

With such power, it is not an exaggeration to say that one hand can cover the sky behind the theater.

After understanding these, Zhang Tie can better understand the ambivalence that Lu Yanyu had when he first met him.

For those who love power, this kind of power can make people feel like they are in heaven, youthful, and can make people hard to extricate themselves like taking drugs. For Zhang Tie, this huge power only allows him to slightly Vanity and swelled a bit, and when the spring tide brought about by this huge power receded, what left the deepest impression on him during this tour of the war zone were the ordinary figures he saw in ordinary posts one by one, because in those On the ordinary figure, what Zhang Tie saw were his parents, and another self who had not obtained the Black Iron Fort...

This inspection did not make Zhang Tie lost in the illusion of power, but made him more determined in what he wanted to do.

On January 20th, Zhang Tie and Lu Yanyu returned to Kangzhou City after finishing their patrol. On the square of Si Nong Tang in Kangzhou City.

...

Zhang Tie was smiling, still turning three walnuts in his hands, and looked at the hatches that opened on the two airships.

As soon as the hatch of the first flying boat opened, Zhang Tie's older brothers Zhang Yang, Li Tao, Lu Yishan, and Sun Qiming came out in a file, and there were many people behind them.

When Zhang Yang saw Zhang Tie, a smile appeared on his face. Others saw Zhang Tie, especially the two rows of majestic golden-armored guards behind Zhang Tie and the smiling guards in the official uniforms of the third-rank Sinong. People, one by one, seemed a little excited.

Zhang Tie doesn't want to talk about ostentation, but at this time, even if he doesn't talk about it, the invisible aura of the people around him has already explained everything-the whole Taixia, I am afraid that there are only governors at the first level Senior officials are qualified to let officials from the third grade stand aside with a kind smile and accompany me and others.

...

"Thank you..." Zhang Tie looked at his brother and smiled.

"It's not hard. It will take a few days to come here by flying boat, even if you come from Youzhou..." Zhang Yang also smiled, looked Zhang Tie from head to toe, nodded, and the two brothers exchanged glances , my brothers don't need to be polite, everything is self-evident.

Seeing that the two brothers Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang had finished meeting, Li Tao and Lu Yishan hurriedly stepped forward to greet Zhang Tie.

"I've met the Patriarch!" Both Li Tao and Lu Yishan had excited expressions on their faces. They couldn't hide their awe of Zhang Tie. Neither of them could have imagined that Zhang Tie had only been in the war zone for less than half a year. Zi soared into the sky and became a 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 spread back to Youzhou. The whole Youzhou, the entire Zhulongling and Huaiyuan Hall were a sensation. The two people in one mountain are even more excited. The improvement of Zhang Tie's status is equivalent to the improvement of the status of the two of them. From the moment Zhang Tie was appointed as General Weiji in the theater, it means that Zhang Tie's influence has already disappeared. After officially walking out of the Northeast Governor's Mansion and officially becoming the top figure among the Taixia giants and knights, seeing Zhang Tie at this moment, Li Tao was somewhat reserved, while Lu Yishan's face was already flushed with excitement.

"You're welcome!" Zhang Tie smiled and nodded to the two of them, "You guys have done a good job in the Torch Dragon collar during this time, I've heard about it, I hope you will also show your skills in the Torch Dragon collar this time when you are in the western theater. Use your abilities to help Taixia..."

"It's all the wives in Tiexintang who have good leadership and strategizing. I dare not take credit for it. This time the head of the family recruits, I will naturally die!" Li Tao and Lu Yishan glanced at each other, and Li Tao clasped his fists and said Lu Yishan, who was a bit clumsy, nodded repeatedly from the side. Both of them knew that Zhang Tie would call them here this time, and naturally he wanted to reuse them. Following Zhang Tie, the two of them would inevitably open up new heights in their lives and careers in the Anxi Governor's Mansion. If things are done well, the so-called wealth and fame are just idle things.

Zhang Tie nodded, very satisfied with the attitude of the two of them.

Seeing that Li Tao and Lu Yishan finished their ceremony with Zhang Tie, Sun Qiming took a deep breath and took a step forward, "I've seen a real person!"

"I called you here this time. I don't know if my little junior sister Lu Shasha blamed me as a senior for keeping you husband and wife from seeing each other for a short time?"

Although Zhang Tie was joking, the meaning in the words did not regard Sun Qiming as an outsider, and the tone seemed friendly. Sun Qiming was a little excited when he heard it, and he clasped his fists at Zhang Tie, "The real person wants to ask for help. That is the trust and favor to my grandson's family. Before I left this time, my wife had explained carefully that I must not miss what the real person explained. My wife also asked me to bring a sentence to the real person, so that the real person will be here You have to take care of yourself on the battlefield, all the seniors and sisters who were real people on Qianlong Island are still in touch now, and all the seniors hope to see real people drink sword dance again in the future..."

The little junior sister who used to cry and be shy is now a mother, a wife, and has her own family. It is unavoidable to criticize and gossip outside. Since Zhang Tie revealed her identity, although they are all in Zhulong collar, Zhang Tie has never met his little junior sister in private again. At this time, Zhang Tie heard Sun Qiming mention that the seniors and sisters on Qianlong Island still have contacts and expectations and blessings for him. Zhang Tie's heart, All of a sudden, there are mixed flavors and emotions...
