When he arrived at the destination and stepped into the barracks that had been prepared, Benitez once again felt the Ming army's powerful logistics and extremely efficient organizational capabilities. In the wind and snow, a large area of ​​white tents was already waiting for their entry.

The thousand people who arrived in advance immediately received their supplies.

A general from the logistics department of the Wuling War Zone named Liu Mingyi accompanied Benitez to inspect all the supplies assigned to them.

"General Benitez, these warehouses are all grains. According to the scale of your 5,000 people, each person is calculated by two kilograms of staple food every day. The war zone is 10,000 kilograms of grain here at the scale of ten days. Every day, 10,000 kilograms of grain will be transported in every day to ensure that your corps has ten days of reserved grain at any time." Liu Mingyi introduced. "It's just that your eating habits are very different from ours. We don't know much about these, so we can only ration according to the practice of our army. This is something that we need to overcome."

Benitez was very satisfied. Food is the courage of the army. If there is not enough food, he is panicked. Looking at the translator on the side, he said, "It's okay, during the war, it's enough to fill your stomach. If you are used to it or not."

Liu Mingyi looked at him and said seriously: "Although that's the case, if the soldiers cannot eat well, it will still affect their combat effectiveness. Our logistics department is currently making military rations according to your dietary habits. I believe that after this period of time, these problems will be improved."

"I really don't need this." Benitez shook his head and followed the customs. His identity was special. He didn't want to cause trouble to the other party and then cause trouble to himself.

"This has nothing to do with you, General, but the responsibility of our logistics department. If the military's combat effectiveness decreases due to supply reasons, we will be held accountable." Liu Mingyi did not give up because of Benitez's words at all, but said directly: "So, General, if you have any requirements for military rations, please write a formal report later, and we can make adjustments according to your requirements."

"Okay!" Benitez shrugged and said. Looking at the other party's serious appearance, he now has an inexplicable expectation for the future.

He was enlightened to be used as a consumable by the Ming people, and he was mentally prepared to act as a suicide squad at any time. After all, he could only be regarded as a mercenary, or for Grand Duke Mattus, his army was equivalent to being abandoned.

However, now seeing Mingren's seriousness, he seemed to feel that the truth was somewhat beyond his imagination.

Walking through the Liangtun, Liu Mingyi took Benitez into a large tent, with neatly tidy big boxes in it, and opened a box casually. Liu Mingyi said: "This is the down jacket that our army has given to the soldiers. It is warm and light, and will not affect the combat, and is worn in the armor."

He opened the big box on the other side and said, "This is a cotton jacket. It is very warm when worn outside. The disadvantage is that it is very bloated. It is not very convenient when fighting, so it is worn as a regular suit."

Benitez stopped talking. He didn't expect that Mingren would divide the costumes into two different series: regular clothes and combat.

Another box was opened. Liu Mingyi took out a pair of gloves from the inside and put them on his hands. He leaned his fingers and easily made freehand. He pulled out his knife and held a few knives casually. "This is a combat glove, keeping warm, ensuring that the soldiers will not be affected by the cold during winter combat."

Benitez was already speechless.

"These are masks!" Liu Mingyi pulled out a condom and put it on his head, so he only had eyes and lips left on his face. "When fighting in winter, the cold wind was biting, and his role was similar to gloves, which were all necessary equipment to keep the soldiers fighting."

"I heard that your army has hundreds of thousands of troops. Are they all equipped like this?" Benitez asked carefully.

Liu Mingyi said proudly: "Of course, these are just some of the most basic equipment. Our Ming army is invincible in the world, but it is reflected in all aspects. In terms of logistics, we, the generals in charge of logistics, have basically no possibility of entering the battlefield, but we rack our brains to work hard to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers."

Benitez nodded in agreement. In the Western Continent, there were not many winter battles, because severe cold would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the army. Winter diseases such as frostbite, even if they stayed in the barracks, many people were unable to escape. In winter, transporting logistics supplies was also a big problem.

Walking out of this warehouse and heading towards the next batch of accounting rooms, Liu Mingyi introduced as he walked: "These things, considering the loss, are all equipped with 20% of them. In the future, you can apply for them at any time according to actual needs. We will distribute the materials as quickly as possible."

"Thank you, General Liu." Benitez said sincerely.

"No need to thank you. It is your duty to fight. It is our duty to keep you focused on fighting." Liu Mingyi opened the curtain of a big tent in front of him. "General Benitez, there are some gadgets here. Well, there are tea leaves. I don't know if you are used to drinking tea. However, during the free time of fighting, it is also a good enjoyment to make a pot of tea and taste it. Oh, come and take a look here. These candies are used to being fed to the soldiers. Of course, if they are in extreme situations, they can also replenish calories and resist hunger. These canned fruits are all dried fruits, which are very good snacks."

Benitez widened his eyes. He really didn't expect that there were still these things among the supplies in the army. It seemed that this had nothing to do with war supplies.

“Are these necessary too?”

"It's not necessary, but for the soldiers, these are some good things to relieve their emotions. Eating military rations alone can make people feel bored." Liu Mingyi said with a smile.

For the Ming army, these things not only make soldiers feel the sufficient logistics and the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but also effectively allow the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to make more money. Military purchases have always been orders that merchants are eager to buy. Although the quality requirements are higher, as long as one order is signed, it is enough to ensure that a factory can produce and sell for several years without any security.

Benitez was already a little numb at this time.

When Liu Mingyi was brought to the next warehouse, he thought about the all-inclusive things before, and thought to himself, what else is here?

"Wine!" Liu Mingyi quickly gave him the answer. In the tent, the iron cans were neatly arranged. "Of course, they are all fruit wine, not high-level wine. That thing is easy to get drunk and makes people mislead. Although these fruit wines are not strong, they can still make people feel warm in winter. However, this thing is limited to supply. How to use it, the general will decide."

Walking out of the tent, Liu Mingyi pointed to the simple Cangtun, which was covered with felt cloth in the snow not far away and said, "General Benitez, this is the honeycomb coal for heating prepared for the soldiers. Each tent is equipped with a special stove. I believe that with these, the soldiers will sleep very comfortably in the cold winter."

He lifted the tent and looked at the extremely regular honeycomb coals, Benitez could only sigh and speechless.

As Liu Mingyi said, the strength of the Ming army was reflected in all aspects. When they were in Yangang, they were still complaining about their defeat, believing that they had fallen into the Ming people's trick. If they were facing gongs and gongs in person, they might not lose. But after seeing these, he realized that even if both sides showed their chariots and horses to fight, they would still lose.

Because war is never determined by a single factor. Although the soldiers are always emphasized to be brave and bloody, senior generals like him certainly understand that war is a comprehensive and extremely complex combination problem. Inadequate in any link will lead to the failure of the entire war.

The Ming people have basically been impeccable.

Liu Mingyi clapped his hands, and an officer following him came up and handed a thick stack of documents to Benitez. "General, this is a list of these materials. If there is no problem, please sign for them."

After taking these lists, Benitez readily signed his name at the end of the document with the guidance of the translation.

Liu Mingyi, who took back the documents, saluted the other party: "General Benitez, then my business will be done. I hope to hear the good news about you on the battlefield as soon as possible. Every victory of yours is also a huge encouragement for us, because there is also our sweat in it."

"As you wish!" Benitez bowed and said, "Our warriors will not disappoint you."

After seeing Liu Mingyi off, Benitez turned around and looked at his translation: "Lin, what are our arrangements next?"

"General, after everything is settled, you will go to see your direct superior, General Gan Wei. According to the combat sequence issued by the Wuling War Zone, you and your army are directly under the command of General Gan Wei."

"I understand, then do I need to give him a gift when I go to see him? If necessary, how much does this gift need to be in line with his identity?"

The general interpreter named Lin smiled and said, "General Gan Wei is one of the highest-ranking generals of our Ming Dynasty. If you give a gadget with the Western Continent, I think the general will like it very much. If you prepare a heavy gift, I guess you will be beaten up by him."

Benitez looked stunned.
