"This is good. But it doesn't mean much to the Guangdong strategy." Chen Sigen said, "There are fresh vegetables on the ground in Guangdong all year round."
Xi Yazhou shook his head: "You can't say that. Do you still remember the annihilation of the Danzhou work team? It is risky to transport vegetables on site. Besides, the navy can also be used."
Then Yun Suji asked the naturalized residents to move out many large and small boxes and bags. They were all placed on the big table in the middle of the room.
"This is dried meat," Yun Suji opened a box with rectangular paper packages neatly stacked inside. "There are five types in total: horse meat, pork, poultry, fish and squid. Each piece is 50 grams. Use standard packaging. The box is packed and can be transported with the troops' large luggage for use in field kitchens."
"Why is there a separate project for squid?" Xi Yazhou asked, "Squid and squid are not considered marine fish?"
"They are indeed not considered fish, and their taste is different from the dishes cooked in food boxes." Yun Suji said, "According to my experience, dried meat is more suitable for making risotto and rice bowls such as soup or curry rice."
"Transported with large luggage? These cannot be eaten directly by soldiers, right?"
"The instructions given to us by the Joint Logistics Headquarters are to use these products to prepare instant rations for camping. One box contains a meal for a company: dried meat, dried vegetables, and condiments are mixed in proportion, and they are poured directly into the pot for cooking when camping. That's it." Yun Suji pointed to the large and small wooden boxes, "These are standard military packaging boxes. Different sizes of packaging boxes are used according to the supply unit and the dishes."
"It's so convenient." Xi Yazhou nodded frequently, "It's much better than when the grass rations were cooked to a paste."
"As far as this time and space is concerned, our supply standards can be called the best in the world."
Then he introduced a variety of "military foods": soy sauce powder, fruit candies, rice cakes, pickled plums, dried rice balls...
"And toffees?" Chen Sigen suddenly shouted as if he had discovered a new world.
"This is what we plan to use to quickly replenish energy for the troops. It is roughly equivalent to chocolate." Yun Suji said, "Our cocoa cultivation industry is not enough to establish a chocolate industry."
"I remember that toffee needs cream, right? Is there so much milk?"
"This is not a real toffee." Yun Suji took out one. "Made from waste molasses. The waste molasses left after the sugar cane shipped from Leizhou and Taiwan is melted and mixed with peanuts and sesame seeds. Then it is poured into the mold and the mold is cooled to become Lingao toffee."
Waste molasses contains a large amount of sugar, which is enough to quickly replenish physical energy. It also has certain nutritional value. After adding nuts, it becomes a quick energy supplement for Fu Bojun.
Before he finished speaking, Xi Yazhou let out a scream: "My teeth are stuck!"
Then they tried "quick-cooked rice," which was made by flattening cooked rice and blowing it with hot air in a drying chamber. It can be restored to its original state in a short time by adding water and simmering it, and it can also be eaten directly in an emergency.
"The disadvantage is that it will be more difficult to chew and swallow. If you don't drink water, you may not be able to eat."
Then came the fried noodles. Of course there is no flour used in it. This thing was inspired by Yun Suji's "fried noodles" made by the volunteers during the Korean War, but the main ingredient was rice flour, and the ingredients were nuts, dried vegetables, and salt. Then use the bone marrow oil, a by-product produced when bone glue factory boils bone glue, to fry it. Compared with "grassland dry food" which uses similar ingredients but is pressed into blocks, fried rice noodles contain a certain amount of fat, taste better when eaten dry, and require less water. Easy to chew and swallow. In fact, in practical applications, compressed grass dry food is called "teething stick" and is usually boiled into a paste and eaten unless absolutely necessary. Few people eat it directly, which means it has lost its original meaning of "fast food". In comparison, Yun's fried noodles are much more convenient to carry and eat.
Xi Yazhou is a person who has led soldiers, so he naturally realizes that this thing is more valuable than a lot of things that Yun Suji showed him before - no matter how hyped up your product is, whether it can be produced in sufficient quantities, whether it can Making it easy for soldiers to carry and eat it is the core of the problem.
"This fried noodles is good. Very good." He nodded vigorously. "You have to focus on production."
"Let's try this again, it's also newly developed by me..."
Come out of the food factory. The two of them felt that their stomachs were heavy, filled with all kinds of "military food."
"Please accompany me to see the situation in the quilt factory." Xi Yazhou said.
"No, I have to go to the Special Reconnaissance Team and lead the recruits to practice swimming in the 5,000-meter sea. Otherwise, I will gain at least three kilograms of weight tomorrow." Chen Sigen is a person who pays great attention to weight management.
The two broke up at the intersection, and Xi Yazhou got into his "official carriage" and drove straight to Ma Niao Fort. This is where the 1st Infantry Battalion is based. The First Battalion not only shoulders the important task of guarding the capital, but also shoulders the responsibility of the army's training team. The army's new training brigade, the army's sergeant training team, and the officer training team are all located here. The construction of the barracks is therefore also the most complete.
The bamboo fence that marks the boundary of Ma Niao Fort occupies the entire M Niao Peninsula. As the first pilot project of the military's "base-based" deployment, Majiao Fort not only has military barracks, training grounds, canteens, offices and warehouses, but also supporting living and cultural facilities. Lianqin has a series of logistics support institutions here such as a repair shop, a horse pen, and a hospital.
The sentry at the base gate checked their documents, and the carriage quickly entered the Majiaobao base. This adhering to the Pla's barracks tradition of planting a large number of various trees, with green trees on both sides of the road and red brick houses one after another. Neatly dressed soldiers walked back and forth on the cinder-paved roads. When their carriage, flying the major general's flag with one star, passed proudly on the road, the soldiers and officers passing by stopped to salute.
Xi Yazhou lowered the curtains and looked at the pleats on his stiff military uniform with satisfaction: It's been five years, and he's finally wearing the uniform of a general.
The uniform he is wearing is a five-year time-travel uniform that has been trialled on a small scale since the beginning of Operation Engine. Mainly used to replace the simple Yuan Dynasty style uniforms. As the mainland offensive unfolds, the Fubo Army needs to appear in front of the entire Chinese people with a brand-new military image. For the new army that does not wear armor or uniforms, a highly recognizable and gorgeous military uniform will not only help improve morale, but also It can play a role in showing off military power.
Although the first-year-style uniforms in the past also had military rank markings, the uniforms were simple and similar in style. They only had a few pockets on the clothes to identify officers and soldiers. The cotton military uniforms were not crisp. The clothes made by the uniform factory only came in three sizes: large, medium and small. Many soldiers wore them. If you don't wear a belt, it's just like wearing a flour sack.
Now the Senate is no longer what it used to be. Over the past six years, the senators have worked hard and diligently, resulting in a huge leap in productivity. Now they are no longer in the past when making a pair of trousers for the security forces and they have to consider whether they can be made into shorts to save fabric.
The British and Dutch shipped large quantities of fine cloth, cotton and linen, which filled the warehouses of the Senate, and the original shortage of dyes was also solved. Although the chemical industry department was not yet able to provide chemical dyes on a large scale, through trade, the Senate The dyeing and weaving industry of the hospital has mastered enough natural dyes to prepare new uniforms for tens of thousands of troops.
Although many of the uniform party members are supporters of the gorgeous uniforms of the queuing and shooting era, they are immersed in the colorful and various shapes of feathers, trousers, gold threads, cords, pom-poms, ponytails, Minerva-style helmets, bearskin Hat... There are also some people who make so-called "personal uniforms" privately, such as a veteran cavalry officer on Jeju Island. However, most people still realize that too gorgeous decoration is not only wasteful, but also not only for showing off on the parade ground, but also not practical during marching and combat.
After a hard march or fierce battle, no matter how gorgeous the military uniform is, it will turn into a dirty gray-brown color. In combat, military uniforms lose many parts, become rough, and become stained with blood, dust, and mud.
Therefore, the design concept of the fifth-style military uniform is to adopt a simple and practical style, choose more gorgeous colors in the color scheme, and add a small number of accessories to take into account both appearance and practicality.
The carriage stopped in front of a red brick building. The guard on the running board jumped down, quickly opened the folding running board and opened the door.
Xi Yazhou walked slowly down the steps from the car and entered the gate with a high head amidst the "salute" of the sentry. His boots clicked and the chain of his command knife rattled.
He did not go upstairs and went directly into the conference room on the right side of the small building. There were already several officers waiting in the conference room. With a cry of "stand at attention!" all the soldiers present stood up straight with a snap.
"Relax!" Xi Yazhou shouted in a pretentious manner. There were several veteran officers present, and the official airs were too inconvenient. He took off his command knife and handed it to the guard, "We are all comrades, so don't be like that. You're welcome. Let's get straight to the point."
The veteran present was Zhu Mingxia, the commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade. He was still wearing the old-fashioned Yuan Nian uniform. The other veteran was Hong Yuan of the joint service. He had changed into the fifth-style military uniform. It must be said that wearing the fifth-style uniform The uniform looks very dignified for the elders with larger bellies.
Except that they are all naturalized citizens, including officers and civilians wearing cadre uniforms.
In the conference room, there were several wooden mannequins in uniforms. The height and shape of the models were set according to the current average of Fubo officers and soldiers.
Hong Yuanlao took out a folder, cleared his throat and said: "Comrades, now let me introduce the new version of the fifth-type military uniform. Speaking of which, this uniform is not a completely new design. During Operation Engine, the Shandong Detachment had already started This uniform was used as a trial model for winter uniform trials in the northern region." (To be continued.)
