Xing didn't understand what Wu Dechang meant for a while. Being thin, isn’t this a thing? Only rich people and high officials are fat, while ordinary people have always been thin. It’s not surprising that children are thinner.
That was not what Wu De was thinking about. He felt a sense of urgency from the children he just saw. The physical fitness of these children was really worrying. He is in charge of labor affairs and knows the physical quality of workers very well. Although most of the newly recruited workers are strong, hard-working and capable, they are actually at the expense of overdrafting their vitality. Their physical fitness is simply not enough to meet such a heavy workload. of labor. Therefore, he always tried his best to be as favorable as possible in terms of food supply, largely to make these laborers who were suffering from long-term chronic malnutrition strong.
Now, adults are getting stronger, but children are following the old path of malnutrition. If this continues, won’t the national physique always be unable to improve?
Thinking about the quality of the recently recruited soldiers, he would be a little worried if he had to fight against the boar skins known for their brute strength in the future.
Wu De believes that the current food rationing system can be completely abolished after the year, and a monetary distribution system can be completely adopted. However, this depends on the monetary policy that the financial department plans to adopt. Cheng Dong has been conducting investigations recently. A comprehensive currency reform system will be implemented after the year, and some improvements will also be made to the employment system and civil affairs system.
Returning to his house in the commune, his residence is in the compound of Bai Commune. It is a suite, with an office outside and a bedroom inside. The walls were painted white, and there was a poster titled "The People's Navy Defends the Sea Territory of the Motherland". The C37 anti-submarine frigate on it was the type of ship he served in that year, and it looked very familiar.
When can I return to the navy to serve? It’s really hard to be a commune secretary.
Chu Yu was sleeping in the house and was still sitting there waiting for him. When he came back, he rushed over to fetch water for him to wash up and make tea. Seeing that he was a little tired, he quickly knelt down to take off his shoes and wash his feet. Women in this feudal society are good at this. Wu De was not used to such service in the past, but now he is used to it.
After changing him into a pair of straw slippers, Chu asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want some midnight snack?"
"No, it's too troublesome." Wu Dezhi's midnight snack in the cafeteria was nothing more than porridge and salted fish. He had no interest in it at all. He might as well find a chance to go hunting with a few people. I heard from the members that wild boars and deer can be hunted in the high mountains. He wasn't interested in wild boar, but venison was good, and there were plenty of pheasants and hares in that place. The few people from North America seemed to be hunting enthusiasts, so I invited them to go.
When I think of hunting I think of guns. He hadn't cleaned his two guns for a long time and he didn't want to sleep yet. Just wipe off the gun. There is a meeting table in the office. He turned on the light and put his 54 guns and 56 halves on the table and took them apart under the light. The parts are placed on a paper plate. Then he took out a small oil can and a small ball of cotton yarn from his shoulder bag. Start maintaining weapons.
In winter, the night temperature in Hainan is also pleasant at about 18 degrees. The sea breeze blows slightly. It's been a cool few months with no heavy rain. The air humidity is also much lower.
Both guns had been soaked in sea water when they landed. Hainan has high humidity. The 56 is 80% new and has been kept sealed in the gun bag except when it was taken out during the first counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. So it's in good condition. 54 is an old gun that has been with him for more than ten years. Now there is a faint yellow rust.
As a revolutionary mentor said: Take care of your weapons as you take care of your own eyes. It is true that weapons cannot be kept in good condition at all times. Then you have to pay a blood price when using it. Wu De remembered that one of his brothers in the past was arresting fugitives. The pistol cannot be fired due to rust. sacrificed.
Eject the bullets from the two 54 magazines. Use a small screwdriver with a Swiss knife to push out the jam at the bottom of the magazine. Let the clip spring get some sunshine too. Otherwise the spring will be rusted. The magazine is also useless. As for the bullets. The Type 511 pistol bullet is a steel case bullet. It's rusty and scrapped. Ground bullets are now more expensive than diamonds.
Chuyu sat next to him. Watch him blankly as he wipes his weapon. Silent. His eyes were flickering. A look of great interest.
"You like it too?"
"Slaves dare not"
"How many times have I told you, don't say 'slave'? We don't want that here" Wu De said and looked at the bullet.
"Well, Chu Yu thinks this object is very delicate, like a decoration made by a skilled craftsman."
Comparing pistol parts to accessories was really novel, and Wu De found it interesting.
"This is a sharp weapon for killing people. One shot will kill someone."
Chu Yu didn't show any fear: "What's the point of calling a sharp weapon if it can't kill people?"
"Good point." Wu De said with a smile, feeling a little wary. Why is this girl so interested in guns? It seems that I need to pay more attention to the storage of weapons in the future.
"Can I teach Chu Yu how to shoot?"
Wu De was so shocked that he almost dropped the bullet.
"You're a girl, why do you want to learn this?"
"It's very majestic, just like those female leaders. And I can protect you when you sleep. When you go out, I will watch for you where you can't see. If anyone moves, shoot him."
Wu De laughed loudly: "You want to be my guard?"
"Being a maid or a guard is all good."
Wu De thought that this girl really had to rely on him. To say that he has no thoughts about a girl is to deceive himself. After all, he is also a mature man and has normal physiological needs.
The four eyes met each other, in the ambiguity of struggle. Suddenly a voice sounded in the yard:
"Is Ade here? Is Ade there?"
Chu Yu glanced outside angrily, turned around and went out. After a while, she came back and reported: "It's people from the Army Army who came to see me. Do you want to see me?"
"Of course I'll see you." Wu De thought that we are not yet at the stage where we can show off to our brothers. But he was a little strange. Except for a few leaders of the Army, he was not familiar with the Army. Why did he come to him?
As he continued to wipe the bullets, a voice came from outside: "Ade is wiping the weapon."
He raised his head and saw a young man in his twenties coming from outside the house.
"Well, according to the regulations, weapons must be maintained regularly." Wu De replied without saying a word while doing his job.
"My name is Wei Aiwen," the visitor said, "Do you want to help me?"
"You teach the commander of the first company of the battalion, right?"
"That's right, that's right."
"Okay, sit down." Wu De said.
Wei
Sitting down next to him, judging from the way he sat down, he must have been in the army.
Wei Aiwen took the 56 and a half, skillfully took out the accessory lower pipe from the gun stock, installed the barrel brush, dipped some oil in the oil can, and started to pipe the barrel.
"Okay, the maintenance is completed." After a while, a 56 and a half bullet appeared in Ivan's hand, and the bullet was wiped clean, and it was placed aside.
"This 56 of yours is half a new gun. Although the oil seal is not newly opened, it seems that it has never been used. By the way, has this gun been calibrated?" He raised the gun and aimed at the distance outside the window.
"I haven't played in school for a long time." He replied.
"However, the guy in your hand is often used."
"Brother, you have a vicious eye. How did you spot it? Tell me." Wu De became interested.
"This is not simple. The blue of the 54 pistol is almost polished, and the handle of the rear sight is also polished and there is so much electrical tape wrapped around it. I don't use it often."
"Good vision!" Wu Dezan said, pressing the last bullet into the magazine, loading the gun and inserting it into the nylon holster under his arm.
"Your holster is not standard."
"Well, I bought it online for 1 yuan to hold the big black star dog, but no matter how cheap it is, it's better than the cowhide holster. Besides, when have we ever equipped a left-handed man with a holster?"
"Hahaha……
With their favorite weapons as conversation starters, the two of them exchanged words, and the atmosphere became heated.
"You came to me on New Year's Eve specifically to help me clean my gun, right?" Wu De got straight to the point.
"Hehe," Wei Aiwen smiled coquettishly, "I'm here to open the back door."
Wu De was puzzled: "Open the back door?"
Only then did Wei Aiwen reveal the truth. It turned out that the Army was jealous of the navy's life enjoyment and wanted to build its own military base. Since Xi Yazhou was expelled for "seemingly" eating two ducks while recuperating at Wu Nanhai Farm, the Army has become a street rat in the demonstration farm, so now he can only actively organize his own Army club. The site and materials have been found, and the design and construction have been negotiated with Mei Wan. There is a shortage of manpower now, and I hope Wu De will send some labor force to them. Of course, this kind of help is private. The executive committee will not allocate human resources for such non-continuous projects at the moment.
"Speaking of labor force, is your army going to be short of people?" Wu De expressed his doubts seriously. There are currently more than 400 people in the army. Moreover, they are all trained soldiers, and their organization and coordination are much better than those of the workers here.
"Not Fatty Xi!" Wei Aiwen gritted his teeth. It seems that Xi Yazhou's crime is not as simple as stealing a duck.
It turned out that Xi Yazhou, in order to avoid marching on foot during the expedition to Baitu, exchanged horses for the farm at the cost of letting the troops work for Wu Nanhai, but he himself rode the "Alanchi" majestically. Now the entire training camp, except those on duty for training, has been dragged to the farm to dig trenches for Wu Nanhai. It was such a commotion that the Army couldn't even send out any labor force.
Damn, I don’t do serious things, but I pay attention to everything about eating, drinking and having fun. Wu De cursed this trend in his mind. But it’s understandable when you think about it, it’s the weakness of human nature. Besides, the navy is living so comfortably, it is normal for the army to want to regain the imbalance.
"Why doesn't Xi Yazhou come by himself?" Wu De said. He has a much deeper relationship with Xi Yazhou and is not familiar with Wei Aiwen.
"He? I don't know which chick he is communicating with! This playboy!" It was obvious that Wei Aiwen was also quite dissatisfied with his battalion commander, "There are so many people in the Army, and I think Zhang Bolin and I are the only two. What an idiot!" He said angrily.
Don't tell me, you two just have a little too much energy. Wu De commented in his heart, but he couldn't say this in person. He thought about it and felt that it was better to meet this request. It was better to balance the relationship between the six naval forces than to intensify it.
"Okay, I'll send you a hundred people. But you have to keep in mind that they are all strong workers with no technical skills."
"That's no problem." Wei Aiwen was overjoyed when he heard that he agreed, and quickly said, "We have agreed with Mei Wan that he will be responsible for the technical work."
"When do you want to use it?"
"It starts on the third day of the new year and lasts for one week. It can only be done during the holidays."
"Okay. It's the third day of the Lunar New Year, but you are responsible for the food during the construction period." Needless to say, the Sixth Army helped Wu Nanhai. The food must have been provided by Wu Nanhai, but the food allocated to the Sixth Army by the Planning Commission would not If you give less, this saved ration income will probably be the source of the army's rebellion. Wu De thought that such loopholes should be alerted to the Planning Commission.
"Okay, okay," Wei Aiwen said excitedly, "Ade, you are such a friend! You have been trained in the army."
"Have you ever been a soldier?"
"I worked in the armed police." Speaking of his experience in the army, Wei Aiwen served as an armed police officer for two years and was a special marksman.
Wei Aiwen said with emotion: "So you are a navy? I thought you didn't look like it. Look at the navy here, how awesome they are at pretentiousness!"
"You can't say that. The navy is a place that pays great attention to etiquette and rules." Wu De originally wanted to talk to He Ming about the disputes between the mainland and the mainland, but now that he was one of the young men of the army, he just seized the opportunity to talk about it. Talk.
In the next few minutes, Wu De used a set of psychological tactics he learned in the judicial department to talk to Wei Aiwen about the differences between the navy and the army, their mutual advantages and interdependence. It is particularly pointed out that in an environment like Hainan, Hai-6 joint operations are the most common and most effective way of combat.
Wei Aiwen was obviously absent-minded. Wu De felt that his education had no obvious effect and was quite disappointed. As he was talking, someone suddenly called Wei Aiwen and said that the company had just finished distributing things to the soldiers and asked if they agreed to let the soldiers stay up late. Still want them to go to bed immediately.
"Tell everyone to go to bed early, and don't stop those who are willing to stay up late. We must be vigilant." Wei Aiwen replied nonchalantly, "I can hold a party, but now the platoon leaders have gone to watch a movie. Who will organize it?”
Wu De looked at Wei Aiwen and asked, "Didn't you go to your company to have a look?"
"I originally wanted to go, but because Battalion Commander Xi left during the day, and Commander Ma was away, there were a lot of things on New Year's Eve. I am the commander of the benchmark company, and I am dealing with everything in the battalion, so I can't spare any time. Get ready to go early tomorrow morning. Only You Laohu and Dongmen Chuiyu are in the three companies now."
Wu De was silent for a moment and said, "I heard that your company is the best at political work?"
