Toss is toss, but the food is surprising. The "chiefs" did not have the concept of coarse grains, they ate three meals a day, enough brown rice, one salted fish per person, and many vegetables or something. In ancient times, people rarely consumed enough protein and fat, so the demand for carbohydrates was particularly large. Naturally, these soldiers, who train in large quantities every day, are no exception. Ma Qianzhuo soon discovered that the 20-kilogram monthly ration could not be eaten at the end of the month. But there is nothing that can be done unless the supply of meat and fat, both of which are lacking in the traversers themselves.

The drill had to go on, first in unison, then in a positive step, then in a run. When the footwork training is complete, learn to march in a row to the rhythm of the drums and flutes. According to the PLA's training manual, after completing the training, each soldier walked in unison and forward at 110~120 steps per minute, and ran at 180~190 steps per minute, which was already the fastest at that time.

The improvement of food and physical exercise have made these people who were originally yellow and thin begin to become strong and powerful. In fact, when it comes to endurance and gravity, they are much stronger than traversers after long-term and intense labor, but it is a sick physical adaptation, not the healthy and strong after adequate diet and exercise as they are now.

The soldiers' physique has improved, and their mental outlook has also been greatly improved through the queue training, and the long-term posture of tucking the abdomen, raising the head, and holding the chest up, striding and walking with meteors, and speaking simply and clearly, have given them a confident and capable look. Ordinary laborers who did not enlist now look at these soldiers and begin to envy them. The women of the Commune also often lingered on the training grounds.

"If there is a good-looking military uniform, it will be even more spirited." Ma Qianzhuo found that the army did not have a logistics department, and he, the chief of the general staff, simply became the logistics minister in addition to being in charge of military training.

The call for military uniform designs immediately set off a frenzy of excitement among all the traversers. In this boring environment, this is more or less entertaining. Soon Ma Qianzhuo collected more than 100 drawings of all kinds, from the Type 65 military uniform with Chinese characteristics, to the grenadiers in the bishop's cap of Fritte, the bearskin high-hat guards of Napoleon, the British lobster soldiers, the Budyonny hat of the Soviet Russian Red Army zuihou to the German Wehrmacht...... All the bad tastes in military uniforms are all collected.

After summarizing, Ma Qianzhu sadly found that everyone had no creativity, and they were all replicas of the military uniforms of various famous armies in history. It can be summed up into three major schools: one is the traditional Chinese school, represented by the 65 military uniform, but also mixed with the 55 school and the 87 school; the second is the line-up shooting faction, which is modeled on the uniforms of European armies in the 19th century, emphasizing flashy and dazzling; The third is the World War II faction, which basically copied the uniforms of the German, Soviet, and American armies, and there were also eclectic and mixed into four different ones. In addition, there are some niche hobbies, such as the small round hat of the National Revolutionary Army, and even the Showa-style military uniform of the old Japanese army.

"Oh my God, are the bandits getting in too?" Ma Qianzhu gasped.

Since this matter has received enthusiastic attention from the vast number of travelers, Ma Qianzhu naturally does not have the opportunity to make his own claims, and one of the great advantages of democracy is that no one can be held responsible, so he convened a so-called hearing, composed of the Military Commission, the Ministry of Industry, the Planning Commission, and 10 representatives of the masses, to examine all the plans.

In order to avoid the influence of personal aesthetic tastes on choice, Ma Qianzhu laid down two basic principles: the production of military uniforms should not exceed the current productivity of the traverser, and military uniforms must adapt to the local environment.

As a result, costumes such as bearskin hats and boots were immediately out of the game, and the number of candidates for military uniforms was immediately reduced by half. Then there's the issue of productivity. The industrial department pointed out that according to their investigation, Lingao's local dyeing and weaving industry could only dye three colors: gray, blue, and black, and Lingao did not produce wool, and the whole army was wiped out immediately after queuing up to shoot the party, and it was obviously impractical to have colorful and intricate military uniforms.

The candidates left were actually modern military uniforms, and the Type 65 military uniform won the bid due to its simplicity of production and saving fabric. In order to appease the opinions of the majority of the losers, the new military uniform has also made some formal changes to cater to the public.

The new military uniform is called the Yuan Nian Style, also known as the 28 Style. It is the same as the 65 military uniform, basically based on the tunic suit, the use of cotton fabric, including the difference between the officer's four pockets and the soldier's two pockets has also been inherited, and the hat has been changed to an octagonal hat, which is slightly larger than the small octagonal hat of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, closer to the United States, and looks more fashionable.

The collar badge and cap badge are temporarily blank, considering that the future military system will inevitably have military ranks, the first year-style military uniform is made in advance with shoulder stumbling, and the left arm is left with an armband. The officers and soldiers all used cloth leggings that imitated the German infantry of World War II, and there was no need to wrap the strips of cloth back and forth like wrapping rice dumplings -- they could just be put on and tightened, and it was easy to put on and take off. There are two types of military shoes, straw shoes 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 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, at the moment, the navy is not very demanding, and it can be distinguished from the army.

Considering that the weather in Hainan is relatively hot, a kind of summer dress was specially designed in the military uniform, which is actually a short-sleeved military uniform, and the material is made of linen.

In addition to military uniforms, military pants, undershirts, military blankets and military blankets were also designed. The military blanket is not wool, but a little cotton is woven between the two layers of cotton cloth, and then nailed with grid lines. In Hainan, where the temperature does not fall below 20 degrees Celsius all year round, it is enough.

The traverser had cotton in stock, but there were only five sewing machines, and sadly, there were only three women who could use them. It is obviously unrealistic to ask them to make 1,200 military uniforms. After considering this, Ma Qianzhu decided to use the method of outsourced processing to distribute it to the women of the commune. Almost all of them knew how to cut - the clothes of the common people in ancient times were rarely made by tailors, and the women made them themselves, so the manual work was not difficult. As for not being able to cut modern styles, it doesn't matter, the logistics department has already made a large number of paper patterns and distributed them with the materials. Just draw the gourd in the same way. Before the material was issued, the Planning Commission first found someone to try out a set of clothes of various sizes and styles, one is to see the effect of trying on the clothing, and the other is to calculate the roughly consumed fabric and cotton thread for each piece of clothing and each pair of shoes, so as not to send too much or too little.

Wu De quickly sent all the work down, and formulated acceptance standards, and those who failed to meet the requirements were fined and compensated for the fabric. In addition to the work to be earned, the rest of the odd cloth was also owned by the processing households, and this measure made the enthusiasm of the women of the commune unprecedentedly high, and even those who already had regular jobs rushed to do it overnight after work. Wu De was going to take this opportunity to discover some ingenious women, to hire special training in garment making, and then to open a garment factory in the commune, and take the opportunity to take over all the sewing and cutting equipment, which was a big deal—not only the army, but also the future schools, all kinds of institutions, and once there was a large influx of immigrants, clothing was in high demand.

The equipment is simpler. When the only cobbler in the county heard that the shorthairs were looking for a tanner to do a lot of work, he immediately took the old-fashioned children and all the tools of production to him. The first task given to him left him speechless: 1,200 leather belts. This shot and courage completely convinced the cobbler, and spontaneously produced the simple concept of "following the short-haired master to always have food".

The armed belt is made of cowhide to imitate the German-style Y belt, after observing Wei Aiwen's replica of the Y belt, the cobbler thought that it was easy to do this, and it would not be a problem for his family to make 10 pieces a day. The metal fasteners on the Y-belt are directly stamped by the mechanical group with wrought iron, and they are not willing to use steel. Still, Wei Aiwen kept some personal work for himself at the cost of a pack of cigarettes - a small part of it was brass.

Lin Fu stood uneasily in front of the office door. The rugby star of this saltfield village also enlisted in the army this time. Although Xi Yaya did not assign a quota to the village committee, but only asked them to send a few people to demonstrate, the village committee decided to let these model militiamen enlist in the army after discussion, in order to express the determination of Yanchang Village to closely follow the "leaders" to make a revolution -- this word was learned from Du Wen, and as for what revolution is, few people do not know -- there are no scholars in Yanchang Village, otherwise they will be frightened half to death by this word.

Lin Fu was not very tall, about 165, but he was already quite good among the people at that time, and the long-term rugby training made him burly and strong, so he naturally became a benchmark soldier. At this moment, his whole body was neatly dressed according to the equipment pattern of the future new army, and he was ready to be reviewed by all the personnel 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 the school field was the biggest he still understood. Quickly pushed the door and walked in, and couldn't help but be startled.

I saw that there was a large room inside, with a horseshoe-shaped long table, and more than a dozen "chiefs" were sitting and staring at him in the middle, as if there were three sessions in the play.

Lin Fu learned the etiquette of Wei Aiwenjiao, saluted, and said loudly:

"Report! The army training battalion is a company, a platoon, and a squad, and the benchmark soldier Lin Fu was ordered to report for duty! ”

Wei Aiwen stood up and returned the salute: "Take a break!" ”

"Yes!"

After a lot of answers, there is a good look, and this more than a week of training has not been in vain. Everyone had appreciative looks. I saw the soldier in front of me, holding a Yuannian-style Mini rifle, wearing a Yuannian-style three-edged bayonet, wearing a Yuannian-style military uniform, a cowhide imitation German-style Y-belt, and two bullet boxes, one large and one small, on his waist. It looks very powerful.

"This is an imitation of the Japanese Taisho 11-style bullet box. The dimensions have changed. Wei Aiwen explained, "The cowhide texture is divided into two sizes, and the large one is to store paper-wrapped ammunition, with 60 rounds per box." The small box is used to hold the fire cap. "Fire caps are sensitive, so they can't be put together with paper bullets. The ammunition box was also designed with the possibility of accommodating metal fixed ammunition in the future, and the dimensions were universal.

"It's a kettle." Wei Aiwen pointed to a cylindrical thing on Lin Fu's waist, "It's made of bamboo tubes." Cork stopper. The outside can be easily tied to the waist with a net rope sleeve. Doesn't it look a bit like a German gas mask box? ”

In this way, it is a bit like that. Everyone nodded. Wei Aiwen seems to be very proud of this "German element".

On the belt was a cloth grenade bag containing a bamboo-shelled grenade made by the chemical team - although it was almost powerful, it had a good momentum and could bluff people.

Lin Fu was carrying a peculiar backpack, which was more like a flat little box than a backpack. This is the newly developed standard back box, inspired by the basket commonly used by the local people, made of fine rattan, pasted with a brushed tung oil cloth, with a lid on it, which can be waterproof. It is oval in shape and comes with an ergonomic back frame.

This newly developed backpack is not only in line with their current industrial capacity, but also much easier to use than traditional wraps, and is a new product that combines modern technological concepts with contemporary productivity levels.
