"My subordinates brought back more than a thousand sets of raincoats and rubber shoes." Ren Ning rubbed his hands and laughed.
Guan Luping knew what Ren Ning meant as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but glare at him.
"The Fifth East and West Battalions will keep half of it for themselves and take out the other half. I will find someone to try it out first."
"If they are indeed lightweight, waterproof and durable, the legion will buy them all and use them as military supplies. If they become rotten within a few days, you will bear the cost yourself. The legion doesn't care, just pretend it's nothing."
"Thank you, General." Ren Ning nodded in agreement.
He is not short of money now, but who would think that he has too much money?
As long as the legion has tried it and it is really useful, and the raincoat and shoes are included in the military equipment, sooner or later they will be promoted here in Zhennanguan.
By then, he will have at least a hundred thousand loyal customers, and won’t the money keep rolling in?
In the following days, in addition to daily training, the entire Yingshan camp also carried out vigorous mosquito eradication activities.
The soldiers had been struggling for a long time, and everyone participated enthusiastically without even thinking about it.
After all, not many people want to spend their days smearing strong-smelling mosquito repellent powder and wearing heavy and bulky mosquito hoods.
For a time, the entire Yingshan Camp changed its appearance.
The mountain of rubbish left by the Yanhui Corps in front was cleared away in an instant. Lime and sulfur were spread layer after layer in every corner, and mugwort was smoked over and over again.
In this way, the campground is disinfected every few days, and the effect is good.
There are still a lot of mosquitoes around, but both generals and soldiers clearly feel that their number is much smaller. Sometimes they can sleep well at night even without spraying mosquito repellent powder.
Time flies, and a month goes by in the blink of an eye.
Counting the time, it’s been almost a year.
It has been snowing heavily in the north, but it is still hot and rainy here in Zhennanguan.
After trying it out for a month, everyone in the Starfall Legion, including the military doctors, was full of praise for the raincoats and rubber shoes. However, they also made some requests, such as hoping that the next batch of raincoats would be softer and the shoes would be lighter. That would be enough.
Perfect.
Guan Luping fed back these requirements to Ren Ning.
At the same time, he placed an order for 30,000 sets of shoes and raincoats on behalf of the entire legion to ensure that everyone in the entire legion would have a set in the future. In addition, he placed an order for 30,000 sets as backup.
At first, the logistics officer heard that these things were invented by Ren Ning, and rushed over to try to get the manufacturing rights into the hands of the legion. However, Guan Luping and several other generals heard Ren Ning say that these things were from the guerrilla general's mansion in Nanshu City.
After manufacturing, he took the initiative to let the logistics manager calm down.
Since the Xingluo Army has changed its defense here, Guan Luping and the others naturally inquired about the overall situation of Guangxin County and knew that there was a guerrilla general named Li in Nanshu City. They also learned that this guerrilla general's mansion housed a large number of disabled people.
Veterans, help them settle down in their old age.
The generals of the Starfall Legion admired it so much that they not only stopped arguing about the manufacturing method, but also protected the guerrilla general's mansion openly and secretly, so that other Xiaoxiao would not worry about it.
this day.
Ren Ning rolled his eyes and went to teach Guan Luping a new erhu piece.
Taking advantage of the superior mood, he spoke: "General, I am going to take the fifth battalion up the mountain for night training. I need your approval."
"Night training?" Guan Luping was stunned, "Is it necessary?"
Of course he knows what night training is.
It's just that when I was stationed in the Yankui Fortress, the terrain was flat and flat no matter whether I was going east or west. As long as I knew the direction, I could just keep going forward or attack around corners, so I didn't have to worry about losing my way.
So there was no difference between training during the day and training at night.
Zhennanguan is full of rolling mountains and hills, and the mountains are covered with densely packed towering trees.
In a place like this, you may lose your way even if you wander around the mountains during the day, let alone at night. It is no different from throwing the soldiers into a place where they can't see their fingers. If you encounter any mountain king in the meantime, you will definitely die.
Whole corpse.
"My subordinates think it is necessary." Ren Ning nodded solemnly.
"Tell me the reason." Guan Luping trusted Ren Ning, so he asked patiently.
Ren Ning nodded and said bluntly, "As the saying goes, in war, defeat is calculated before victory is calculated."
"The generals and ministers in the imperial capital consider the probability of winning or losing the war and the gains and losses after winning or losing, before deciding whether to fight or not."
"My subordinate is just a soldier. Our considerations are completely different from those of the generals and ministers in the imperial capital. We prioritize our own survival. Of course, if most of the soldiers survive, it usually means victory in the battle or war.
.”
"It's just that the battlefield situation is complex and changeable, and the outcome is unpredictable. If it goes smoothly and we win, there is no need to say anything. But there are exceptions. What if things don't go well?"
Guan Luping silently put down the erhu in his hand and said, "Continue talking."
Ren Ning nodded.
"If there is a war in the future, the people of Nanfeng will not just wait for us to come under their city walls. Therefore, there may be fighting on every hillside, in every canyon, or even under every tree."
"Fighting in mountain jungles is different from the grasslands in the west. Whether it is offensive or defensive, combat formations are easily separated by the terrain. There will often be a situation where a battalion, a platoon, or even a soldier fights independently in a divided state."
"So this requires soldiers to have the ability to fight in small groups or even as individual soldiers. In addition, they must have the ability to find the direction in the vast mountains and forests, and finally come out to join the large army."
"Only when enough soldiers gather together can the final battle be won. Therefore, my subordinates feel that the soldiers must receive training no matter day or night. Only in this way can they be able to protect themselves and find the main legion as quickly as possible.
s position."
Guan Lu Ping's brows twitched.
At that time, the Crown Prince of Zhenguo and Princess Yiguang and his wife sent their troops all the way south and directly hit the capital of Nanfeng, but did not attack again.
On the surface, the Nanfeng royal family was scared out of their wits, so they went north by sea and went to the imperial capital Xingji City to beg for mercy. Emperor Yunchui at that time was concerned about good neighborliness and friendship, so he finally ordered to stop the attack and move his troops back to the court.
However, as the forward general of the Starfall Legion, Guan Luping knew some inside information.
At that time, Yun Chui's army did indeed reach the capital of Nanfeng. However, due to the unfavorable weather and insufficient logistics along the way, as well as injuries and illnesses among the troops, most of its troops had already been reduced by more than half.
There were even several battalions of soldiers who got into the ravine and wandered around until they could get out.
The army finally arrived at the gates of Nanfengdu, but it actually had little fighting power.
Maybe if Nan Feng had gritted his teeth and persisted a little longer, the ending might have been rewritten.
boom!
Thinking of this, Guan Luping slapped the table decisively, "Okay! Your night training plan has been approved."
"Using your fifth battalion as a pilot, we will try to train first. If you need anything then, just ask the deputy general and he will try his best to help provide it. And you kid, remember to keep various training records. If it is really effective, I will send it to you after the Chinese New Year.
When we return to camp, we will report it to the general so that the entire army can deploy."
At this moment, he had already taken family leave and was packing his luggage to return to Su Lan's hometown.
Of course, Guan Luping's family visit leave was not as long as the six months when Ren Ning and the others sent the deceased back to his hometown. It was only one and a half months.
This trip lasted almost a month, just in time to celebrate the Chinese New Year at home.
