Even the Independent Regiment was no exception. Every soldier in the Yongfeng Prefecture Division brought two pairs of cloth shoes. Before he could enter the Tongzhou City, most of them broke a pair of them.

However, no one from the officer to the soldier was in a hurry. He used his rest time to find a suitable grass stem on the roadside and weaved straw sandals. In early summer weather, the light and breathable straw sandals are like the sandals of the future, breathable and cool.

However, straw sandals are not as good as imagined. The newly-built straw sandals are too hard and can easily hurt their feet. They walk down dozens of miles a day, and the scratched feet are covered with blood blisters and scars, which makes Liu Lang, who is qualified to wear leather boots, frowns.

Although he was not comfortable wearing leather boots, he didn't dare to enter the tent when he took off his shoes at night, for fear of being smoked. Liu Lang even had an illusion that he was not bitten by mosquitoes at night because of his long leather boots.

From that time on, Liu Lang had made up his mind to build a factory specializing in the production of clothes and shoes to solve this problem.

The reason why Jiefang shoes were selected is that this kind of shoes is most suitable for the current situation of the current era. The two advantages of cheap cost, lightness and durability can completely cover up the shortcomings of breathability, moisture permeability and waterproofing. Moreover, as of now, Liu Lang will not go to the south for the time being. In the next seven or eight years, Liu Lang and his independent regiment may be dominated by the Black Hawk Imperial Army invading the most fierce kingdom in the north.

Jiefang Shoes have become Liu Lang’s only choice.

Sure enough, the senior executives of the Independent Group may not be too cold to Liu Lang's version of the camouflage uniform, but the officers love these strong, light and durable Liberation shoes. Most of them are low-level officers, and they are not the turn of awesome long leather boots. They are treated as treasures for a pair of rubber shoes. They are reluctant to wear them even if they have to fight. They usually wear cloth shoes. If the Independent Group's own factory produces these rubber shoes, they will no longer have to worry about the impatience of cloth shoes.

After all, I am an official, so I feel uncomfortable wearing straw sandals, right?

As for the rubber used to produce soles, the entire independent regiment has only more than 2,000 troops. Even if the militiamen in each village and village in Andongcheng are counted, there are only 10,000 people. If each person has two pairs, it will be more than 20,000 pairs. There are still some ways to get the rubber father, Mr. Ji, who has money, can make the ghosts beat the ghosts. If the warlords control the strategic materials such as rubber, isn’t it the idea of ​​turning them into silver coins?

Under the threat of Miss Ji's preparation for Boss Ji to find a cheap son-in-law, Boss Ji surrendered in tears. On the other end of the radio station, a certain group leader was also crying. We can occasionally be a dependent on the elders, or use some nonsense reasons, but don't tell me about this? Last time I took Boss Ji's 20,000 silver coins, I already felt that he had a bad eye.

This is Liu Lang's lack of life experience. As a father, as long as he knows that his baby daughter is being missed, he will have no good face to any suspect, which has nothing to do with whether he is excellent or not. Therefore, only the mother-in-law looks more and more happy when he sees his son-in-law, and the father-in-law always sings his beard and stares.

But these are not what makes Liu Lang feel the happiest. What makes Liu Lang happiest in the past two days is undoubtedly the discovery of iron ore in the mountains, only more than ten miles away from the Independence Group Fortress Base.

Before leaving Min Jincheng's home, Liu Lang entrusted his father to hire mineral exploration experts to explore in the mountains behind the independent group base in Laiancheng. The iron ore with huge reserves in his previous life should be within a radius of dozens of miles. If Liu Lang's memory was not wrong.

The so-called geological expert invited by Liu Shun and his father was a young man wearing glasses. Because Liu Lang happened to go to the recruit camp that day, he missed the opportunity to meet this young geological expert, and was received by Liang Wenzhong, who was in charge of logistics.

This young geological expert was also impatient. On the day he arrived at the Independent Corps Base, he did not attend the routine welcome banquet, so he brought the six soldiers Liang Wenzhong assigned to him to the mountains with equipment.

It took only one month to go there. If a soldier had not returned to the camp to ask for supplies, even Liu Lang would have doubted whether they had encountered some mountain monsters and were all over. Although the six veterans had already reached their teeth, each with a rifle and 200 bullets, a pistol and four grenades, and even a light machine gun. With such a firepower configuration, let alone a mountain monster, even if they encountered a standard combat squad of the Black Hawk Army, they could withstand a long time, enough to support the arrival of reinforcements.

Dozens of open and secret whistles that are large and small outside the independent group base are not decorations.

Until two days ago, seven people with dirty and unshaven beards came out of the mountains, although they had poor image, but were full of spirits. The reason was very simple. They found the iron ore that Liu Lang hoped to find, and the mineral reserves were extremely rich. According to young experts, the storage capacity was as high as tens of millions of tons, and it was a fine iron ore, with an iron content of up to 55%.

The soldiers didn't understand these data, but they all knew from the young experts' faces that they were full of groans. This was a big iron ore and could produce a lot of ore.

The soldiers were excited because they knew that iron ore could be used to smel the steel casting. With these materials, one could be used to build bases and two could be used to turn them into money. The richer the independent regiment, the better their treatment, the fat regiment commander, the biggest commander they had ever seen.

The young geologist is even more excited because every time he discovers a deposit, the country he loves will become stronger.
