I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 536 Determination
Chen Hong was stunned by the question, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness's confidence is my confidence"

Zhu Houxuan looked at the map on the table and saw the location of the capital. "Fortunately, this battle was fought in the capital. If it was in other places, we would not be able to mobilize so many forces."

"Yes, the capital is our railway hub. Supplies from all parties can be quickly transported to the vicinity of the capital by rail. Otherwise, we really won't be able to support an army of more than 200,000 in combat, especially in such bad weather." Chen Hong continued.

"Yes, the weather is too bad. The advantages of the railway have been offset a lot. This is also a big test for the Royal Group. But I have confidence in you and in the Royal Group." Zhu Houxuan said with a smile.

"Woo--" A train emitting puffs of white smoke slowly drove into Neiqiu County Railway Station.

"Commanders of the Guards! Please take this car. This is the best train we have here." A middle-aged man in the Royal Group uniform shouted to the hundreds of veteran Guards behind him.

This middle-aged man looked exhausted and his eyes were red. It was obvious that he hadn't rested for a long time.
The old guardsmen boarded the train without hesitation.

Guan Dali was at the end of the team. He looked at the dispatcher on the platform and said, "You should also go and have a rest."

The dispatcher smiled at Guan Dali and said, "I'm waiting for news of your victory from the capital!"

Guan Dali was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, "Definitely!"

The dispatcher also nodded and walked in another direction.
Guan Dali found a seat in the carriage and just as he sat down, the dispatcher led a group of people carrying large and small bags towards the train and stuffed the things they were carrying in through the window.
"This is what you eat on the road," said the team.

Guan Dali quickly took a package and found it was still warm. He looked up and was about to thank them, but he found that the team had already gone far away.
The train beneath them has gradually started to move.
Guan Dali looked through the glass window at the Neiqiu Railway Station outside at night. This was not his first time to come to Neiqiu Railway Station, but this was the first time he saw Neiqiu Railway Station like this.
At night, the Neiqiu Railway Station was still brightly lit, with kerosene lamps burning everywhere. There were crowds of people inside and outside the station, and outside the station was crowded with various animal-powered and rickshaws transporting things. Many people in the station were organized by the Royal Group's employees to continuously load and unload goods and add coal and water to the stopped trains.
It was the first time in Guan Dali's life that he saw so many trains here. He roughly calculated that there were dozens of them. The station could not accommodate so many trains. The workers of the Royal Railway Department had to build several temporary railways to give these trains a place to park.
Each train departs quickly after being loaded with people and goods, and the departure intervals are very short.
This bustling scene made Guan Dali forget that it was a cold winter. He felt as if everyone seemed to be in a state of madness.
When the train drove out of the train station, Guan Dali was even more surprised by the scene he saw.

He saw people holding kerosene lamps beside the railway, checking the condition of the railway. There was one person like this every few dozen meters. He looked into the distance, and the dots of light connected into one piece in the darkness, extending to the distance.
He suddenly realized that driving on such a cold winter night would be a heavy price to pay.
The train was not moving very fast and they stopped not long after they had gone.

"What's going on?" someone shouted from inside the car.

"The railroad ahead suddenly broke, causing the train ahead to derail!" A patrol worker holding a kerosene lamp ran over to tell them what was happening ahead. "What should we do?" Guan Dali asked.

"Someone will repair the road ahead!" shouted the patrol worker, puffing out long white mist as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people appeared from nowhere, carrying several sections of rails, holding kerosene lamps, and shouting slogans as they walked towards the direction of the accident.
The veterans of the Guards in the car looked at the group of people silently, and were shocked.
About a quarter of an hour later, the train conductor walked through each carriage.

"Dear commanders of the Guards, the food train in front of us has derailed. The front of the train can be reset, but the carriages are so long that we can't. We don't have enough manpower right now, so we need your help!" the conductor asked very politely.

The veteran Guards would naturally not refuse this request.

They quickly got off the train and followed the conductor to the derailed train ahead.
"These carriages cannot be put back on the tracks in a short period of time. They have affected the normal operation of the railway. Now it is an emergency. In order to ensure the efficiency of the railway operation, we need to push these carriages off the railway together and restore the smooth operation of the railway," the train conductor shouted to the veteran Guards.

The train conductor's words shocked the veterans of the Guards.
"This is full of food! Are we just going to throw it here?" Zhang Dali asked in disbelief.

"Someone will deal with these grains later. What we need to do now is to restore the smooth flow of railway transportation." The conductor's face was filled with deep fatigue, but he still spoke firmly.

"But... but if we push these carriages off the roadbed, they will be damaged." Zhang Dali still couldn't accept it.
"The smooth flow of railway transportation is above all else. This is an order issued by the Minister of Railways. Compared with the smooth flow of railway transportation, these carriages are nothing." The conductor's tone was still firm.

Guan Dali was left speechless.

More and more people wearing coats with the Royal Group logo gathered together. They climbed onto the carriages and unloaded some of the food. Then, with shouts, they pushed the derailed carriage under the roadbed.

When they finished all this, the conductor told them that the broken railway ahead had been repaired and the railway was back to normal. When they returned to the carriage, they found that only less than an hour had passed, and they and the railway workers had accomplished so many things in such a short time.

The train continued to move forward, encountering several problems along the way, but they were all quickly resolved.
Guan Dali also saw more and more carriages being pushed under the roadbed on the side of the railway. Grain, cloth, coal and other supplies were scattered beside these carriages. It seemed that although they were suffering, Guan Dali saw a determination to fight at all costs.
