In the hinterland of Zheng State, in a factory in Tongcheng, a group of workers were watching in shock as equipment belonging to the Datang Group was assembled by professional technical engineers.
This is the first time they have seen such complex equipment today, and the first time they have experienced such huge industrial power.
It is an irresistible force, a force that can change the world! These huge, extremely heavy equipment can easily produce more and better industrial products.
Tongcheng itself is an industrial city, with almost half of the workshops and workshops in Zheng State gathered here. When Zheng Guo was engaged in the Westernization Movement, many large factories were built here with the secret investment of the Datang Group.
Originally, the workers in these factories didn't know why such huge and empty factories were built. Now, when they saw the machinery and equipment, they finally understood everything.
The rails that had been laid long ago were finally put to use. The locomotives produced by Linshui Machinery Factory immediately improved Zheng's traffic by several levels.
It is no exaggeration at all. The first railway and the third railway of Zheng State were put into use almost at the same time. At that time, Zheng State had not yet been destroyed.
In the first month after the end of the war, Zheng's 4th to 11th railways were again opened to traffic almost simultaneously.
Although the total mileage is still not very long, these short-distance railways did facilitate transportation within the Tang Kingdom to a great extent.
With these railways and many roads built in advance, the transportation problem was solved, and the development speed of the Tang Kingdom was so fast that it is difficult to understand.
One free ship can transport hundreds of cars, and dozens of free ships can transport thousands of cars in the originally backward and barren homeland of Zheng in an instant.
In addition, various vehicles equipped by the army temporarily played some cargo roles, and more than 10,000 vehicles suddenly appeared on the roads of Zheng State, which was enough to shock everyone.
In order to support these cars, hundreds of service stations and gas stations were built as quickly as possible. Vehicles responsible for transporting gasoline were constantly coming and going on the roads. There was even an unpleasant smell of oil and gas in many places.
The local Zheng people saw many things that they had never seen in their lives almost overnight.
Cars, trains, and a large number of carriages brought not only soldiers and artillery, but also all kinds of messy things.
Tableware and pots and bowls, which were originally extremely valuable, suddenly became less valuable items. The troops would casually give such items to the people around the station, and at the same time, various things were "lost" inexplicably.
If you observe carefully, there are some weird, but not so weird things in the daily lives of the people of Zheng.
For example, gasoline barrels appeared in the homes of many people in Zheng State! These oil barrels made of thin iron sheets were brought back to their homes by all possible means, and they were washed and made into buckets...
This thing is very convenient to use because it has a lid and a handle. Many troops often use it as a bucket.
As a result, in the process of "poverty alleviation", many troops would leave such things to the local people, and the people who got them felt like they had found a treasure because they had never seen such exquisite artifacts.
Of course, no matter how you wash this thing, it will inevitably smell like gasoline, but no one will care about these details...
In addition, no one would have thought that the first thing to be improved for the naked Zheng people was their feet - many Zheng people received spare socks and underwear from the soldiers...
Therefore, in the streets and lanes of Zheng State, you can often see a skinny child wearing only a pair of underwear, wearing socks and straw sandals, struggling to carry a full bag with a serial number painted in white paint.
Water gas oil barrel.
I have to say, this picture is quite fantasy.
The Logistics Department of Datang Group may be the most troublesome department recently. They have to count the lost items reported by the troops every day, make a list, and then purchase and replenish them.
Recently, the army has lost hundreds of tents and thousands of kettles every day. On average, each soldier has lost a food bag, the army's iron pot, a soldier's personal spoon, and spare socks and underwear. The amount lost is shocking.
.
"Damn it, do these people think we are fools?" In the office of the Logistics Department on Longdao, a young official slapped his pencil on the table and complained angrily.
He picked up a form and showed it to his colleagues dissatisfied: "Look! Look! One company lost 100 raincoats in three days! There are only 150 of them in total!"
On the other side, the official who was counting other material losses smiled and stretched: "What's this? They also lost 40 water bottles! 10 belts and 130 pairs of socks! Except for weapons, they basically threw away everything they could.
If we only look at paper data, our company has been completely wiped out..."
"Hahaha! They are still there! Because they only fired 300 rounds of ammunition in the entire war and added a bayonet! So I am very sure that this company is still there, and there may not even be a single wounded person!" On the other side, the person responsible for statistics
Officials with ammunition and weapons stocks are very relaxed, because there are actually very few supplements in this area.
On the other side, the official responsible for counting medicine and consumables was so angry that he almost cried. He had been busy for more than an hour, and the data of this company had just been calculated and summarized: "No wounded? Stop making trouble! I swear, if you only look at the data,
, they were really all killed! In the past 40 days, they used 4,000 meters of bandages, a full 1,300 doses of hemostatic drugs, and replenished the drugs for malaria and typhoid fever 4 times."
Obviously, this unit didn't fight much at all. It basically just acted as a medical team and a money-spreading boy.
They distributed almost all the supplies they carried to nearby civilians, helped those people resume production, and rescued those who were sick and in need of help as much as possible.
The Tang Army has terrible experience in maintaining good military-civilian relations. They have been accustomed to doing this kind of thing since the day they were born.
On the one hand, it's because they are indeed full of love and have received special training in this area, and on the other hand, it's because... they have money!
Yes, this is why they have the courage to throw away things! The Datang Group Security Force, the predecessor of the Tang Army, which has been extremely wealthy since the day it was born, is the wealthiest force of its generation.
Commanders will not get angry because soldiers have lost certain equipment, which makes all soldiers dare to dedicate their love and help the civilians around them to the best of their ability.
Moreover, because they were wealthy, they would not rob or take things from the masses. This kind of military discipline was outstanding in the old times, so no matter where the Tang army went, they would be welcomed by the local people.
In turn, this also made many civilians who had seen the Tang Army willing to help the Tang Army, and more civilians were willing to join such an army, which brought benefits to the expansion of the Tang Army.
However, when tens of thousands of Tang soldiers worked together to spread wealth, even the wealthy Datang Group's logistics department began to have headaches.
The warehouses of raincoats and underwear that were once piled up have now been basically emptied. All troops are losing socks, all troops are reporting damage to their tents and raincoats, and all troops are having their weapons stolen.
The munitions were not lost, but everything else was gone.
Medical drugs, dry food and snacks, the supplies consumed by the Tang army stationed in the wild every day are really comparable to fighting a truly brutal war.
An official in the office sighed helplessly: "This is just a company! It's even more exaggerated when compared to the entire battalion. I doubt that our troops are not going to fight, but to alleviate poverty."
"It is originally for poverty alleviation. If there are too many materials, the normal aid process will be too slow, and the people there will live too hard." An old official who knew the basics smiled and lowered his head to continue sorting out the data.
Hundreds of thousands of troops eat horses and chews every day. Even if they are just consumed in a serious way, it is so much that it will make people collapse. There are no computers at this time, so they rely on them to calculate statistics. The workload can be imagined.
A former sinner, a black-haired official nodded in agreement: "Isn't that right? My hometown and the city lord may not have as high a quality of life as I do."
"I believe this. I guess the city lord in your hometown has never used a phone in his life." Many people in the office nodded. Before they came to Bunas and Dragon Island, they never thought that one day they would
Life can become like this.
They never thought that light is so simple, just pull the light cord to light up their room. They also never thought that when they turn on the faucet, there will be a continuous supply of clean water. They also have no extravagant expectations.
You can eat every meal to the fullest, and even have the luxury of not having to lick the rice grains in the bowl.
Another blond official joked, causing a lot of laughter: "But he must have more women than you! Hahaha!"
After laughing, an official suddenly said something like a question: "I heard that this time, we also suffered a lot of losses. We lost more than 100 people in the attack on Zheng's royal city?"
The topic suddenly became heavy, because Datang Group has never suffered such a big loss since the day it was born.
You know, when the Kingdom of Gemelin was destroyed, just because of the loss of a few dandelions, Tang Mo killed the king of Gemelin by killing chickens to scare monkeys, and even offended many kings and nobles.
And this time, in a war, Datang Group sacrificed so many outstanding soldiers and officers - this can't help but make people feel depressed.
An insider spoke in a gloomy tone: "Well, I'm not sure about the details, but I heard from people in the department next door that they have already paid out pensions to at least 50 people."
