Therefore, while Lin Ziran went to the front line to inspect, it was necessary to provide all kinds of additional meals and benefits and commend the meritorious soldiers who fought in the early stage.

In order to increase the visual appeal, Lin Ziran's rewards for meritorious soldiers are simple and direct, nominally issued medals, but in fact, these medals are pure gold, in other words, Lin Ziran's issuance of medals is equivalent to direct issuance of gold coins.

Of course, there are very few people who really use medals as gold coins.

However, the pure gold medal has a better visual and propaganda effect, but after it is awarded, it is impossible for a soldier to really bring a pure gold medal to the battlefield.

Therefore, after this medal is awarded, it is often sent home by the military instead, or kept in the military post office, and the military will also issue bronze medals to these soldiers, which are used for daily wear.

What, in fact, the South Korean Navy is also afraid that after the casualties of the officers and soldiers, the enemy will capture this pure gold original medal, which will have a bad impact!

There are now a variety of medals in the South China Navy, starting with the first, second, and third class Qingyun Medals, and in recent months, two other medals have been set up one after another.

One is the Black Cloud Medal, which is a lower level than the Qingyun Medal, the Qingyun Medal is awarded to soldiers and officers, but it is more difficult to obtain, and so far more than 2,000 have been issued, and this number is far from enough for the huge Southern Navy.

However, in order to ensure the honorary value of the Qingyun Medal, the scope cannot be expanded at will.

In order to allow more meritorious soldiers to obtain honors and practical rewards, and further stimulate morale, Lin Ziran led the establishment of the Black Cloud Medal, which is also divided into one, two and three classes, and the difficulty of obtaining this Black Cloud Medal has been greatly reduced, which can be seen from the number of winners, only three months after its establishment, it has been awarded 5,000 pieces.

The appearance of the Black Cloud Medal has greatly reduced the difficulty for soldiers to obtain medals, making them more motivated to fight for it.

In addition to the Black Cloud Medal, Lin Ziran also awarded a commemorative medal, which was awarded to soldiers who had participated in major battles, this commemorative medal is a large category, and there are multiple commemorative medals for major battles below, but the style is different, but the nature is the same.

Recently, Lin Ziran also asked the army to supplement the medal system, such as increasing the difficulty of obtaining the first-class Qingyun Medal, which is currently the highest level of medal, and increasing the difficulty of obtaining the first-class Qingyun Medal to ensure its scarcity.

In addition, it has just been decided in the past two days to launch the Distinguished Service Medal.

This is because many officers and men themselves do not have the opportunity to go to the front line, such as the logistics troops, who deal with supplies every day, and even work in places tens or hundreds of kilometers in the rear, and basically do not have direct contact with the enemy.

But their work is no less important, and without their hard work in the rear, the front-line troops would not even be able to use artillery shells.

In addition, there are some soldiers who have been stationed in places where there is no fighting for a long time, or who have participated in battles, but the troops have carried out diversionary combat missions and so on, and have not fought against the enemy.

But you can't simply assume that they don't take credit!

For example, the cavalry troops, in fact, most of the time are constantly maneuvering and maneuvering, and the roundabout maneuvers of the cavalry units directly lead to the danger of the enemy falling into encirclement, and then collapse and even surrender voluntarily.

You can't say that the cavalry troops have no merit, they are tired and tired, and they have been marching at high intensity for several days, and you can't say that they have no merit just because the enemy has surrendered, they have not broken through to them, and there is no engagement!

This high-intensity march and the completion of the roundabout mission are credits!

In response to the above many circumstances, Lin Ziran will set up the Battle Commemorative Medal and the Outstanding Service Medal at the same time.

The conditions for awarding this distinguished service medal are not limited to the number of enemy killed, for example, the number of battles that front-line troops have participated in can obtain, and the number of transportation missions carried out by logistics troops can be obtained.

Even the soldiers in the rear base, who are on duty day and night to protect various bridges, factories, transit stations, etc., will be rewarded with excellence.

And there are clear conditions, as long as the number of times, the intensity can be obtained.

The further expansion and improvement of the medal system can better stimulate the morale of the soldiers.

During this inspection and condolences, Lin Ziran personally sent out more than 2,000 medals, plus additional meals, monetary rewards and many other means, so that the troops who were tired and demoralized due to the long-term attack were re-boosted.

To tell the truth, during this period of time, the South China Navy was still quite hard, and the westward advance of more than 100,000 troops relied on a transportation and supply line of more than 340 kilometers.

At present, this supply line basically does not transport food, but all kinds of military supplies.

Even some time ago, because the weather suddenly cooled down, although the Southern Navy prepared winter clothes in advance, because the transportation and supplies could not keep up, many winter clothes were still in the warehouse in Zisheng Prefecture, so that the soldiers were frozen for several days.

For this matter, Lin Ziran directly removed an executive deputy minister of the logistics department!

Because of the tight capacity of the supply line, the food needed by the army needs to be collected by the troops themselves, even if there is a lack of food in Quyang Prefecture itself, it is still a bit difficult to temporarily recruit so much food on a large scale.

There is still food, but don't expect how good the food is.

This period of westward expansion can even be regarded as the most arduous battle fought by the South China Navy in the last two or three years.

Not only did they have to fight the enemy, but they also had to fight with supplies.

It took a lot of effort to kill all the way to Qingde City!

What outsiders see is that the Southern Navy is like a bamboo, running hundreds of kilometers all the way to the bottom of Qingde City, but the officers and men inside the Southern Navy know how easy it is.

So after arriving in Qingde City, Lin Ziran did not waste the slightest time, and directly went to the troops to express condolences and visit the soldiers.

Although the time was limited, Lin Ziran still went to all the troops who could go, not only during the day, but also at night on the way to inspect.

After two days, Lin Ziran was tired and half dead, but all this was necessary and worth it.

People follow you Lin Ziran to fight the world, not to mention the hard work or anything, but also to risk your life, if you don't even go to visit one or two, it will be too disappointing.

When Lin Ziran inspected and condoled, the logistics system of the South China Navy continued to operate at a high intensity, and a steady stream of bullets, artillery shells and other military supplies arrived.

After the reserve ammunition on hand gradually increased, the Yugoslav Navy also began to act.

Beginning on 14 December, several units under the command of the Southern Navy began to launch a number of small-scale exploratory attacks on the enemy forces outside the outskirts of Qingdeok City.
