When this happens, we really can’t blame the rear officials for not doing a good job in coordinating the situation. Most of the blame is actually placed on themselves.

The originally planned strategy was [cannibalization], and all the preparations were made around it. Suddenly, it was changed to [whale swallowing], and the logistical pressure instantly increased by more than ten times!

Where have young cadres seen such a scene?

You know, before the 100,000-strong [Shenwu Army] was going to Shenli to fight, the entire [Liu Yin Fengguo] had been preparing for the war for two or three months!

Now there are one million regular troops, five million reserves, and tens of millions of people waiting for food. This terrible logistical pressure has piled up. It is no wonder that even Zhou Rou has started to lose her hair...

Normally, this level of strategic mobilization needs to be carried out at least one year in advance, and transportation lines must be strengthened even several years in advance.

Just like Mustache back then, before the war started, every inch of land in the country was covered with railways, so as to meet the mobilization needs of millions of troops.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yinshun breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I had previously agreed to the [Mechanicum] group of people to build a Y-shaped trunk railway connecting the three counties. Not long ago, this railway was fully opened to traffic. It was equivalent to adding a thick and long artery out of thin air, which greatly relieved the situation.

Logistical pressure.

Without this railway, supplies from the easternmost [Weishan County] would have to go through more than 10,000 miles of winding supply lines to reach the front line, which is as difficult as crossing Siberia in winter!

Suddenly, an inexplicable sentence flashed through Zhao Yinshun's mind.

The Lord cannot be angry and raise an army, nor can he be angry and cause war!

As the ruler of a country, any idea he has may be a huge wave of destruction if it reaches the grassroots level.

Therefore, we must not only consider the benefits and losses in an all-round way, but also eliminate emotional interference and ensure adequate preparation from both material and spiritual aspects.

However, even if he had to do it over again, Zhao Yinshun felt that he would still make the same choice.

It is impossible for him to watch tens of millions of people exchange their children for food and starve to death in front of him!

Especially since he has the ability to save them!

Therefore, no matter how difficult the conditions are, you must take action when it’s time to take action!

Clenching his fists, Zhao Yinshun let out a long sigh of relief.

Forget it, just treat it as a stress test. With the problems exposed this time, if a large-scale war is launched next time, domestic cadres will have rich experience in dealing with it.

Logistics coordination capability increased by 100%!

Grinning in joy, Zhao Yinshun threw all the distracting thoughts behind his mind and looked at Chu Qinqin, who was standing quietly in the corner.

"Have you investigated clearly the whereabouts of those 'raw materials' in [Cai Renshi]?"

"The preliminary investigation has made it clear that all the 'raw materials' have flowed to the [black market]."

"black market?"

"Yes, that is a special field opened up by Shengjin Alliance, which claims that as long as you have money, you can buy everything you want in the [black market]!"

Speaking of this, Chu Qinqin, who seldom showed his emotions, couldn't help but have a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

"After our investigation, they divided human beings' [value] into detailed levels. The most expensive ones are the ethereal concepts such as life span, luck, and fortune, followed by the common ones such as the brain, eyeballs, spinal cord, and blood essence.

Supplies for potions..."

"Again, the first-class internal organs can be used to refine many magic potions. In the end, the skin, flesh, and fat that no one wants will be left in the [Vegetarian Market] to feed the hungry people..."

After hearing this, Zhao Yinshun finally understood why there were no such things as internal organs and brains in the [Vegetarian Market]. Most of the stalls only had cut human flesh, and occasionally a head had its eyeballs and brain removed.

.

"In addition, more than 10 million 'wasted' young men have also disappeared into the [black market] in various places. I don't know if they were sold to other states, or..."

After a pause, Chu Qinqin gritted his teeth unbearably.

"It turned into some kind of [commodity]."
