After all the trouble, the food was surprisingly good. The "chiefs" didn't have the concept of whole grains. They ate three meals a day, which was enough brown rice, one piece of salted fish for each person, and many vegetables and so on. At first, several young men ate each meal.
I rolled my eyes at every turn. Ancient people rarely consumed enough protein and fat, so their demand for carbohydrates was particularly great. When farmers were busy at work, many people ate two kilograms of flour in one meal. These people exercised heavily every day.
Training soldiers are no exception. Ma Qianzhu soon discovered that the 20 kilograms of monthly rations could not be eaten until the end of the month. But there was no way, unless the supply of meat and fat could be increased-the two time-travelers
I am very lacking.
The training has to continue, first walking in step, then walking, and then running. After the footwork training is completely completed, they learn to march in line according to the rhythm of drums and flutes. According to pla's training manual, after completing the training, each
Soldiers walked at 110-120 steps per minute when walking in unison and goose-stepping, and when running at 180-190 steps per minute. This walking speed was already among the fastest in the world at that time.
With the improvement of food and physical exercise, these people who were originally thin and skinny began to become stronger and stronger. In fact, when it comes to endurance and weight-bearing, they are much stronger than the time-travelers who have worked hard for a long time, but that is a kind of morbid physical adaptation.
, it is not like now that you can be healthy and strong after eating enough and exercising.
The soldiers' physical fitness has improved, and their mental outlook has also been greatly improved through the formation training. The long-term abdominal tightening, head-raising, chest-high posture, striding walking, and speaking clearly have all given them a confident and capable look.
Ordinary workers who have not joined the army are beginning to envy these soldiers now. Women in the commune often linger by the training ground.
"If you have good-looking military uniforms, you will be even more impressive." Ma Qianzhu discovered that the army did not have a logistics department. As the chief of general staff, he simply became the logistics minister while being in charge of army training.
The collection of military uniform designs immediately set off a frenzy of excitement among all the time travellers. In this boring environment, this was somewhat entertaining. Soon Ma Qianzhu collected more than a hundred copies of various designs in his hands.
The artwork ranges from the Type 65 military uniform with Chinese characteristics, to Ferret's grenadier wearing a bishop's hat, Napoleon's bearskin top hat Guards, British lobster soldiers, the Soviet Red Army with Budyonny hat, and finally to Germany
The National Defense Force... everyone has a bad taste in military uniforms.
After summarizing, Ma Qianzhu sadly found that everyone had no creativity, and they were all replicas of military uniforms from various famous armies in history. They can be summarized into three major schools: one is the Chinese traditional school, represented by the 65 military uniforms, and also mixed with the 55 military uniforms.
The second is the queuing-to-shoot faction, which is based on the European military uniforms of the 19th century, emphasizing dazzling splendor; the third is the World War II faction, which basically copies the uniforms of Germany, the Soviet Union, and the U.S. Army, and some are eclectic and mixed into four different ones.
In addition, there are some niche hobbies, such as the National Revolutionary Army-style round hat, and even the Showa-style military uniforms of the old Japanese Army also have fans.
"Oh my god, did the bandit gull also sneak in?" Ma Qianzhu took a breath of cold air.
Since this matter received enthusiastic attention from the majority of time travellers, Ma Qianzhu was naturally inconvenient to make his own opinions. One of the great benefits of democracy is that no one is responsible, so he convened a so-called hearing, consisting of the Military Commission, the Ministry of Industry, and the Planning Commission.
A committee composed of 10 people's representatives will review all plans.
In order to avoid the impact of personal aesthetic taste on the choice, Ma Qianzhu stipulated two basic principles. The production of military uniforms cannot exceed the current productivity of the travelers, and the military uniforms must adapt to the local environment.
As a result, clothing such as bearskin hats and boots were immediately eliminated, and the number of candidates for military uniforms was immediately reduced by half. Then there was the issue of productivity. The industrial department pointed out that according to their investigation, the local dyeing and weaving industry in Lingao
It can only be dyed in three colors: grey, blue and black. There is no wool at high altitudes. The entire army will be wiped out immediately if they line up to be shot. Military uniforms with gorgeous colors and complex decorations are obviously impractical.
The remaining candidates were actually modern military uniforms. The Type 65 military uniform won the bid because it was simple to make and saved fabrics. In order to appease the opinions of the majority of losers, the new military uniform also made some formal changes to cater to the public.
The new military uniform is called the first year style, also known as the 28th style. It is the same as the 65th military uniform. It is basically based on the Chinese tunic suit and uses cotton fabrics. It includes four pockets for officers and two pockets for soldiers. The difference is also inherited. The hat
It was changed to an octagonal hat. This octagonal hat is slightly larger than the small octagonal hat of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, closer to the American style, and looks more fashionable.
The collar insignia and cap badge are temporarily left blank. Taking into account that the future military system will inevitably have military ranks, the first-year-old military uniforms are pre-made with shoulder straps and armbands on the left arm. Officers and soldiers all use cloth leggings imitating the German infantry in World War II, so there is no need to imitate the cloth leggings.
Wrap the strip of cloth back and forth like a rice dumpling - just put it on and tighten it, making it easy to put on and take off. There are two types of military shoes, straw sandals for training, and black cloth shoes for going out and reviewing.
In order to facilitate mass production, military uniforms are not divided into land and sea models, but are only distinguished by color: the army wears gray and the navy wears blue. Of course, this blue is not navy blue or sky blue, but a blackened indigo. Fortunately, the navy is currently wearing
The requirements are not high, as long as they can be distinguished from the army.
Considering that the weather in Hainan is relatively hot, a summer dress was specially designed among the military uniforms. It is actually a short-sleeved military uniform made of linen. Some people suggested that summer clothes could be issued with knee-length shorts, but the British colonial army looked ugly and wretched.
It was immediately rejected.
In addition to military uniforms, we also designed military-style pants, undershirts, and military blankets. The military blanket is not made of wool, but is slightly stuffed with cotton between the two layers of cotton, and then nailed with grid lines. In Hainan, where the temperature is not stable all year round,
Places below 20 degrees Celsius are sufficient.
The travelers have a lot of cotton stock, but they only have five sewing machines. What’s even more sad is that there are only three women who can use sewing machines. It is obviously unrealistic to ask them to make 1,200 sets of military uniforms. After thinking about it, Ma Qianzhu decided to use outsourcing processing to distribute them to
Made by women in the commune. Almost all of them can cut - in ancient times, common people rarely asked tailors to make their clothes. Women made them themselves, so this handwork is not difficult. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cut modern styles.
, the logistics department has already made a large number of paper patterns and distributed them with the materials. All you have to do is follow the patterns. Before sending out the materials, the planning committee first found someone to trial-produce a set of clothes of various sizes and styles. First, to see the effect of the clothes on trial.
, secondly, you can calculate the approximate amount of fabric and cotton thread consumed by each piece of clothing and each pair of shoes, so as to avoid too much or too little.
Wu De quickly assigned all the work and set acceptance standards. Those who failed to meet the standards would be fined and compensated for the fabric. In addition to earning work points for outsourcing processing this time, the remaining scraps of fabric also belong to the processing households. This The measures have made the enthusiasm of women in the commune unprecedentedly high. Even those who already have regular jobs are rushing to do it all night after work. Wu De plans to take this opportunity to discover some ingenious women and hire someone to train them in clothing making. Then in the commune Opening a clothing factory and taking over all the sewing and cutting equipment is a big deal - in addition to the military, there are also future schools and various institutions. Once a large number of immigrants arrive, the demand for clothing will be even greater.
The equipment is relatively simple. When the only cobbler in the county heard that the Shorthairs were looking for cobblers to do a lot of work, he immediately came with the old-school children and all the production tools. The first task given to him shocked him. I was speechless: 1,200 leather belts. This skill and courage completely impressed the cobbler, and he suddenly developed the simple concept of "following the short-haired master and you will always have food."
The armed belt is made of cowhide to imitate the German-style Y-belt. After observing Wei Aiwen's replica Y-belt, the cobbler thought it was very easy to make. If his whole family went into battle, it would be no problem to make 10 pieces a day. The metal fasteners on the Y-belt were It was directly punched out of wrought iron by the mechanical team, and they were not willing to use steel. However, Wei Aiwen still used a pack of cigarettes to save some private work for himself - a small part of it was made of brass.
Lin Fu stood in front of the office anxiously. The rugby star from Yanchang Village also enlisted in the army this time. Although Xi Yazhou did not allocate quotas to the village committee, he just asked them to send a few people to demonstrate, but after discussion, the village committee , decided to let these demonstration militiamen enlist in the army to express the determination of Yanchang Village to follow the "chiefs" in making revolution - I learned this term from Du Wen. As for what revolution is, few people know - Yanchang Village If you are not a scholar, you will definitely be scared to death by this word.
Lin Fu was not very tall, about 165cm, but he was already quite good among people at that time. Long-term rugby training made him tall and strong, so he naturally became a benchmark soldier. At this moment, his whole body was in the shape of the future. The new army's equipment model is neatly dressed and ready for review by all members of the Planning Commission and the Military Commission.
"Lin Fu, come in." The voice of Chief of General Staff Ma came from inside the door. Lin Fu didn't know what the Chief of Staff meant, but he understood that the school was the largest. He quickly opened the door and walked in. He couldn't help but be frightened. A jump.
Inside was a large room with a long table arranged in a horseshoe shape. A dozen "chiefs" were sitting and staring at him in the middle, just like the three-chamber trial in the play.
Lin Fu learned the etiquette taught by Wei Aiwen, saluted, and said loudly:
"Report! One company, one platoon, and one squad of the Army Training Battalion. Base soldier Lin Fu has been ordered to report!"
Wei Aiwen stood up and returned the salute: "Take a break!"
"yes!"
After some exchanges, the training was in good order. The training for more than a week was not in vain. Everyone looked at him with admiration. The soldier in front of him was holding a 1st-year-style Mini rifle, with a 19th-year-style three-edged bayonet on his body. Wearing a year-old military uniform, a cowhide imitation German-style belt, and two bullet boxes, one large and one small, on his waist. He looked very powerful.
"This is an imitation of the Japanese Taisho 11-year-old bullet box. The size has changed." Wei Aiwen explained, "The cowhide texture is divided into two sizes. The big one is used to store paper-packed ammunition. Each box has 60 rounds. The small box is used for
Install a flash cap. "The flash cap is relatively sensitive, so it cannot be placed together with paper-packed ammunition. The ammunition box was also designed with the possibility of accommodating metal fixed-loading ammunition in the future, and the size is universal.
"This is a kettle." Wei Aiwen pointed to a cylindrical thing on Lin Fu's waist. "It's made of bamboo. It has a cork stopper. It can be easily tied around the waist with a mesh rope set on the outside. Doesn't it look like this?
A bit like a German gas mask box?”
That said, it did seem a bit like it. Everyone nodded. Wei Aiwen seemed to be very proud of this "German element".
There is a cloth grenade bag on the belt, which contains a bamboo shell grenade made by the chemical industry group - although it is not very powerful, it has a good sound and can bluff people.
Lin Fu was carrying a peculiar backpack, which looked more like a small flat box than a backpack. This was a newly developed standard backpack, inspired by the backpacks commonly used by local people, and made of fine rattan.
It is made with brushed tung oil cloth on the inside and a cover on it, which is waterproof. It is oval in shape and comes with an ergonomic back frame.
This newly developed backpack is in line with their current industrial capabilities and is much easier to use than traditional packages. It is a new product that combines modern technological concepts and contemporary productivity levels after time travel.
