Lin Xing didn't understand what Chief Wu De meant. Isn't it natural to be thin? Only rich people and high officials are fat. Common people have always been thin. It's not surprising for children to be thinner.
That was not what Wu De was thinking about. He felt a sense of urgency from the children he just saw - the physical fitness of these children was really worrying. He was in charge of labor affairs and knew very well about the physical fitness of workers.
Although the laborers he recruited were strong, hard-working and capable, they actually came at the cost of overdrafting their vitality - their physical fitness was simply not enough to meet such heavy labor. Therefore, he always tried his best to be as favorable as possible in terms of food supply.
To a large extent, it is also to make these workers who have long-term chronic malnutrition strong.
Nowadays, adults are getting stronger, but children are following the old path of malnutrition. If this continues, won’t the national physique always be unable to improve?
Thinking about the quality of the recently recruited soldiers, he would be a little worried if he had to fight against the boar skins known for their brute strength in the future.
Wu De believes that the current food rationing system can be completely abolished after the year, and a monetary distribution system can be completely adopted - but this depends on the monetary policy that the financial department plans to adopt. Cheng Dong has been conducting surveys recently, and it will be implemented after the year.
A comprehensive monetary reform system will be implemented, and some improvements will also be made to the employment system and civil affairs system.
Returning to his house in the commune - his residence is in the courtyard of Bairen Commune. It is a suite, with an office outside and a bedroom inside. The walls are painted white, and a poster "The People's Navy Defends the Motherland" is posted.
On the poster of "Sea Frontier", the Type 037 anti-submarine escort boat on it is the type of ship he served in that year, and it looks very familiar.
When can I return to the navy to serve? It’s really hard to be a commune secretary.
Chu Yu didn't sleep in the house, and was still sitting there waiting for him. Seeing him come back, he hurried over to fetch water for him to wash up and make tea. Seeing that he was a little tired, he quickly knelt down to take off his shoes and wash his feet. This feudal
Women in society are quite good at this. Wu De was not used to such service in the past, but now he is used to it.
After changing him into a pair of straw slippers, Chu Yu asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want some midnight snack?"
"No, it's too troublesome." Wu De knew that the late-night snacks in the cafeteria were nothing more than porridge and salted fish, and he wasn't interested at all. He might as well find a chance to make an appointment with a few people to go hunting. I heard from the members that Gaoshanling
You can hunt wild boars and deer. He is not interested in wild boars, but the venison is good, and there are also a lot of pheasants and hares there. Several people from North America seem to be hunting enthusiasts, so he invites them to go.
When he thought of hunting, he thought of guns. He hadn't cleaned his two guns for a long time. Now that he didn't want to sleep, he might as well clean the guns. There was a table for meetings in the office. He turned on the light and polished himself under the light.
The 54 pistol and 56 half were disassembled on the table, and the parts were placed on a paper plate. Then he took out a small oil can of 56 half and a small ball of cotton yarn from his shoulder bag, and began to maintain the weapons.
In Hainan in winter, the night temperature is a pleasant 18 degrees Celsius, and the sea breeze blows slightly, which is very cool - it has not rained heavily for several months, and the air humidity is also much lower.
Both guns were soaked in seawater when we landed. Hainan has a lot of humidity, so the 56 is 80% new. Except for taking it out during the first counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, it has been kept sealed in the gun bag, so the 54 is in good condition.
It's an old gun. It has been with him for more than ten years, and now it has a faint yellow rust.
As a revolutionary mentor said: You should take care of your weapons as much as you take care of your own eyes. This is true. If weapons are not kept in good condition at all times, you will pay the price of blood when using them. Wu De thought of a person from his past.
Brother, when he was arresting a fugitive, his pistol couldn't be fired because of rust, so he died.
Eject the bullets from the two 54 magazines, use a small screwdriver on a Swiss knife to open the jam at the bottom of the magazine, and let the spring of the magazine bask in the sun, otherwise the spring will rust and the magazine will be useless. As for the bullets,
Type 51 pistol bullets are steel-cased bullets, which are scrapped when they rust. Today's bullets are more expensive than diamonds.
Chu Yu sat next to him and watched him wiping his weapon blankly, silently, but his eyes flickered, looking very interested.
"You like it too?"
"Slave doesn't dare-"
"How many times have I told you, don't say 'slave', we don't want this here-" Wu De said and looked at the bullet.
"Well, Chu Yu thinks this object is very delicate, like jewelry made by a skilled craftsman."
Comparing pistol parts to jewelry is really novel, and Wu De finds it interesting.
"This is a sharp weapon for killing people. One shot will kill someone."
Chu Yu didn't show any fear: "What's a sharp weapon if it can't kill people?"
"Good point." Wu De said with a smile, feeling a little wary. Why is this girl so interested in guns? It seems that she needs to pay more attention to the safekeeping of weapons in the future.
"Can I teach Chu Yu how to shoot?"
Wu De was so shocked that he almost dropped the bullet.
"You're a girl, why should you learn this?"
"It's very majestic, just like those female chiefs. And I can protect you when you sleep. When you go out, I will watch for you where you can't see. If anyone moves, shoot him."
Wu De burst out laughing: "You want to be my bodyguard?"
"Being a maid or a guard is all good."
Wu De thought that this girl really had to rely on him. To say that he had no thoughts about a girl would be to deceive himself. After all, he was also a mature man and had normal physiological needs.
The four eyes met each other, in the ambiguity of wandering and fighting. Suddenly a voice sounded in the yard:
"Is Ade here? Is Ade there?"
Chu Yu was so angry that she glanced outside, turned around and went out. After a while, she came back and reported: "It's someone from the Army who came to see the master, do you see me?"
"Of course we will see you." Wu De thought that we are not yet at the stage where we can show off to our brothers. But he was a little strange. Apart from a few leaders of the Army, he was not familiar with the Army, so why did he come to see him?
As he continued to wipe the bullets, a voice came from outside: "Ade is wiping the weapon."
I raised my head and saw a young man in his twenties coming from outside the house.
"Well, according to the regulations, weapons need to be maintained regularly." Wu De replied wordlessly while doing the work in hand.
"My name is Wei Aiwen," the visitor said, "Do you want to help me?"
"You teach the commander of the first company of the battalion, right?"
"That's right, that's right."
"Okay, sit down." Wu De said.
Wei Aiwen sat down next to him. Judging from the way he sat down, he must have been in the army.
Wei Aiwen took the 56 and a half, skillfully took out the accessories that came with the gun from the butt, took off the cleaning rod, installed the barrel brush, dipped some oil in the oil can, and started to open the barrel.
"Okay, the maintenance is complete." After a while, a 56 and a half appeared in Ivan's hand, and 20 rounds of bullets were wiped clean and stacked aside.
"This 56 of yours is probably a new gun. Although the oil seal is not newly opened, it seems that it has never been used. By the way, has this gun been calibrated?" He raised the gun and aimed at the distance outside the window.
"I've been through school. I haven't played in a long time." He replied.
"However, the short thing in your hand is often used."
"Brother, you have a vicious eye. How did you tell? Tell me." Wu De became interested.
"This is not simple. The blue of your 54 pistol is almost polished, and the rear sight is also polished. There is so much electrical tape wrapped around the handle of the gun. How can you get these if you don't use them often."
"Good vision!" Wu De praised, pressed the last bullet into the magazine, loaded it, and inserted the gun into the nylon holster under his arm.
"This holster of yours is not standard."
"Well, I bought it online for 100 yuan. It was originally used to hold the horse, dick, big black star, and the dog, but no matter how cheap it is, it is better than the cowhide holster. Besides, when have we ever equipped a left-handed person with a holster?"
"Hahaha……
With their favorite weapons as conversation topics, the two of them chatted with each other, and the atmosphere became lively.
"You came to me on New Year's Eve specifically to help me clean my gun, right?" Wu De got straight to the point.
"Hehe," Wei Aiwen smiled coquettishly, "I'm here to open the back door."
Wu De was puzzled: "Open the back door?"
Only then did Wei Aiwen reveal the truth. It turned out that the Army was jealous of the Navy's life enjoyment and wanted to build a corrupt base. Since Xi Yazhou was expelled for "suspected" of eating two ducks while recuperating at Wu Nanhai Farm, the demonstration farm
The Army has become a street rat, so now it can only actively prepare for the establishment of its own Army Club. The site and materials have been found, and the design and construction have been negotiated with Mei Wan. There is a shortage of manpower now, and I hope Wu De will send some labor to help.
Of course, this kind of help is private - the Executive Committee will not allocate human resources for such non-continuous projects at the moment.
"Speaking of labor force, is your army going to be short of people?" Wu De expressed serious doubts. The army currently has more than 400 people. And they are all trained soldiers. Their organization and coordination are much better than the labor force here.
.
"Not Fatty Xi!" Wei Aiwen gritted his teeth. It seems that Xi Yazhou's crime is not as simple as stealing ducks.
It turned out that Xi Yazhou, in order to avoid marching on foot during the expedition to Baitu, exchanged the horses for the farm at the cost of letting the troops work for Wu Nanhai, but he himself rode the "Alanchi" majestically.
Now, the entire training camp, except those on duty for training, has been dragged to the farm to dig trenches for Wu Nanhai. It was such a commotion that the Army couldn't even send any laborers.
Damn, I don’t do serious things, but I pay attention to everything about eating, drinking and having fun. Wu De cursed this kind of culture in his heart. But think about it, it is excusable, is it a weakness of human nature? Besides, the navy is so comfortable, the army is not
It's normal to want to regain balance.
"Why doesn't Xi Yazhou come by himself?" Wu De said. He has a much deeper relationship with Xi Yazhou and is not familiar with Wei Aiwen.
"He? I don't know which chick he is communicating with! This playboy!" It was obvious that Wei Aiwen was also quite dissatisfied with his battalion commander, "There are so many people in the army, and I think Zhang Bolin and I are the only two.
What a fool!" he said angrily.
Don't tell me, you two just have a little too much energy. Wu De commented in his heart, but he couldn't say this in person. He thought about it and felt that it would be better to meet this request. It is better to balance the relationship between the navy and the army than to intensify it.
good.
"Okay, I'll send you a hundred people. But let's be clear, they are all strong workers with no technical skills."
"That's no problem." Wei Aiwen was overjoyed when he heard that he agreed, and quickly said, "We have agreed with Mei Wan that he will be responsible for the technical work."
"When do you want to use it?"
"It starts on the third day of the new year and lasts for one week. I can only do it during the holidays -"
"Okay. It's the third day of the Lunar New Year, but you are responsible for the food during the construction period." Needless to say, the Army is helping Wu Nanhai, and the food must be provided by Wu Nanhai, but the food allocated to the Army by the Planning Commission will not be reduced.
, this saved ration revenue is probably the source of corruption in the Army. Wu De thought that such loopholes should be reminded to the Planning Commission.
"Okay, okay," Wei Aiwen said excitedly, "Ade, you are such a friend! You must have been trained in the army."
"Have you also been a soldier?"
"I worked in the armed police." Speaking of his experience in the army, Wei Aiwen served as an armed police officer for two years and was a special marksman.
Wei Aiwen said with emotion: "So you are a navy? I thought you didn't look like it. Look at the navy here, how awesome they are at pretentiousness!"
"You can't say that. The navy is a place that pays great attention to etiquette and rules." Wu De originally wanted to talk to He Ming about the land and sea disputes, but now that he was one of the young men of the army, he just seized the opportunity to have a good talk.
.
In the next few minutes, Wu De used a set of psychological tactics he learned in the judicial department to talk to Wei Aiwen about the differences between the navy and the army, their mutual advantages and interdependence. In particular, in an environment like Hainan,
, joint sea and land operations are the most common and most effective way of combat.
Wei Aiwen was obviously absent-minded. Wu De found that his education had no obvious effect and was quite disappointed. As he was talking, someone suddenly called Wei Aiwen and said that the company had just finished distributing things to the soldiers and asked if he agreed to let the soldiers
To stay up late, we still need them to go to bed immediately.
"Tell everyone to go to bed early, and don't stop those who are willing to stay up late. We must be vigilant." Wei Aiwen replied nonchalantly, "I can hold a party, but now the platoon leaders have gone to watch a movie.
Who will organize it?”
Wu De looked at Wei Aiwen and asked, "Didn't you go to your company to have a look?"
"I originally wanted to go, but because Battalion Commander Xi left during the day, and Commander Ma was away, there were a lot of things to do on New Year's Eve. I am the commander of the benchmark company, and I am dealing with everything in the battalion, so I can't spare any time.
Get ready to go early tomorrow morning. Only You Laohu and Dongmen Chuiyu are in the three companies now."
Wu De was silent for a moment and said, "I heard that your company is the best at political work?"
