[69 Book Bar - www.] After President Lin finished speaking, the ship bosses all returned to their own ships. President Lin and Liu Haisheng also boarded the second ship in the fleet. This ship is slightly larger than the Lin family’s.
It is a ship. There is a back cabin on the ship for people to rest. In addition, this ship is at the front of the fleet and is the second of the 12 ships, so it is more convenient for command and dispatch."
After President Lin boarded the boat, the boat sailed. The fleet began to move up the river. The boss on the boat was at the helm, the navigator was at the bow and led the water, and all the other boatmen came ashore. They carried ropes on their shoulders and shouted slogans to pull the boat forward.
Not long after the boat sailed, the fleet entered a fork of the river. At this time, there was a favorable wind, and each ship raised its sail. The boatmen got on board and paddled, and the fleet continued to move forward along the fork of the river.
At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and only a few horn horns were heard on President Lin's boat. The boatmen on each boat stopped rowing, took up the oars, stopped the boat, and began to eat the dry food they had brought.
It turns out that on these transport ships, the boatmen can light fires and cook on the ships. However, since this time they were transporting things to the imperial army, and some of them might be ammunition, the imperial army requested from the beginning that no fire was allowed on the ship during the voyage.
The fire was lit, so the boatmen could only eat the dry food they brought.
When the escorts on each boat saw the boatmen on each boat starting to eat, they also felt that it was time for them to have a meal. These jailers took out a tin box that looked like a soap box from their backpacks and stabbed it with a can.
He pried it open with the knife and started eating this battlefield ration meal.
Liu Haisheng went with the president on the boat this time. What delicious food did he bring to President Lin? Since they were on the same boat with the Imperial Shipbuilding Army this time, they couldn't bring too good food. They only brought some big cakes.
and steamed buns. Since this trip lasts less than two days, it is already very good to be able to eat these things on the road.
President Lin took a piece of big cake, and Liu Haisheng held a steamed bun in his hand. They had just eaten a few bites when a Japanese soldier held his box of ration cans in his hand and entered President Lin's back warehouse while eating.
When President Lin saw a Japanese soldier coming in, he pointed to the stool humbly and said:
"Sit down, sit here and pay attention for a while."
This time, a young Japanese soldier came in. He looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. When the young Japanese soldier saw President Lin telling him where to sit, he was a little surprised at first. But when he saw that President Lin and Liu Haisheng did not mean any harm, he
I tentatively sat down.
After the little Japanese soldier sat down, President Lin took a steamed bun from his ration bag and handed it to the little Japanese soldier.
The little Japanese soldier hesitated for a moment at first, then he caught the steamed bun, threw the can with the remaining contents aside, and ate it hungrily.
Because the little Japanese soldier ate too hard, he choked after swallowing a few mouthfuls. President Lin saw that the little Japanese soldier was choked, and he poured water for the little Japanese soldier and said:
"Eat slowly, one is not enough. I still have some here."
After the little devil caught the water and took two sips, he slowly regained his composure. He spoke in blunt Northeastern dialect:
“I haven’t had steamed buns for a long time. I like them very much.”
Lin Changan glanced at the can next to the little Japanese soldier. He saw some boiled peas inside, so he asked the little Japanese soldier:
"You usually eat these boiled peas when you go out? Why is there so much water in them?"
The little devil soldier said with a steamed bun in his mouth:
"Canned peas are a good field food. The peas can be used as rice, and the water is salt water. You will sweat when walking in the field, and salt water is something your body needs very much."
Lin Changan asked again:
"Each of your imperial troops is distributed several boxes of canned food every day."
The little devil soldier was a bit embarrassed:
"Two boxes of canned peas per person per day."
"How many meals did you eat when you were in the military camp?" Liu Haisheng asked.
"If you live in a military camp, you will have two meals a day. Each meal will only have one box of lunch." The little Japanese soldier turned sideways to show President Lin the small lunch box hanging on his body.
