"After the formal establishment of the army and navy, not only did the demand for weapons surge, but it also involved the problem of training and stockpiling ammunition." Ma Qianzhuo said, "I have two views here. ”

The industrial sector should establish as soon as possible a system for the supply of ammunition for the training of the new army and coastal fortifications.

The supply of Black Fire Yao can be said to be sufficient, with an inventory of as many as 2.5 tons, and the power has increased a lot after granulation treatment. It is enough to cope with training and combat, but there is no stock of shells and mini shells, and they need to be rushed.

In the manufacture of weapons, it is better to use one or two kinds, and do not be greedy for more and more. If there is not enough steel due to the lack of coke, then at this stage the production of cast iron artillery is concentrated. The trade department will make every effort to solve the problem of coal supply.

It is necessary to try to make prime movers as soon as possible, including steam engines and small diesel engines. In order to provide sufficient power machinery for the navy to build and renovate ships.

"The ships of the navy," Chen Haiyang reminded, "now there are only two sailing ships, and there are a lot of tasks to undertake." The Navy needs to expand its ships. ”

In order to achieve the current stage of fishing, vigilance and transportation tasks, the navy needs at least 8~10 sailing ships, and the displacement should not be less than 50 tons, and it is best to exceed 100 tons. At this stage, the demand for maritime transportation in industry is increasing, and ships with too small tonnage are not suitable.

The travelers have already discovered a large-scale shipbuilding workshop in Lingao. The largest fishing boat here is commonly known as "Lingao Tuofeng", with a displacement of more than 70 tons. It was no problem for fishing and transporting goods, but the boat was still slightly smaller and not fast enough.

If you want to build your own ship, the industrial department and the navy can come up with a lot of ship types, and even the cattle people who have drawn the line drawings and structural drawings of the ironclad ship of the Glory. But no one has actual shipbuilding experience, the most experienced are Mr. Wen and Wang Luobin, the two are senior ship model enthusiasts, and countless model ships have been built. He is the one who knows the most about timber shipbuilding

Chen Haiyang proposed that the local shipbuilding resources of Lingao could be used. According to the report of the long-range reconnaissance team, there are several shipbuilding workshops in the area of Lingao Baitu Port, which can build not only ordinary fishing boats, but also large ships of 400 materials, which are already the largest ships allowed by the Ming government to be legally manufactured by the people.

Baitu Port not only has shipbuilders, but also accumulates a large amount of timber for shipbuilding, some of which have been stored for three or four years, with a suitable degree of dryness, and can be easily used by traversers.

"I suggest that we occupy Baitu Port and move all the shipbuilders and shipbuilding materials there to Bopu." Designed by the traverser and taught modern shipbuilding techniques, it is believed that these shipbuilders will soon be transformed into modern shipbuilders.

"Agreed!" Zhang Bolin immediately agreed, and he was especially enthusiastic about the war.

"I am also in favor of seizing the port of Baitu, so that the shipbuilding industry in Lingao will be completely controlled, and the fishermen and coastal freight boaters in Lingao will have to obey our orders completely." Ma Qianzhu also expressed his support.

The motion to occupy Batu was thus passed. This operation is to be carried out immediately after the formation of the army training battalion.

"Zuihou is the recruitment and training of personnel for the navy," said Li Haiping of the navy, "and I do not dare to agree with what Commissioner Ma said just now that the army is temporarily responsible for recruiting and training the navy." We are the Navy, not the Army Navy, and the Navy's branches have their own peculiarities, and it is difficult for the Army to truly understand the needs of the Navy-"

The faces of the young heroes of the army represented by Wei Aiwen and Zhang Bolin immediately looked very bad: there was obviously a meaning of treating the army as a bun in these words.

"I'll explain." Ma Qianzhu hurriedly said, "The so-called responsibility of the army is actually the stage of recruits -- the army has a training camp. After the unit is discharged, the navy itself is responsible for training. As for the recruitment of soldiers, it will be directly managed by the Military Commission in the future, and has nothing to do with the army and navy. ”

"Chief." Another member of the club cowered and walked into the office of Wu De's Bairen Commune.

"What's the matter?" Wu De was stunned, wouldn't he be a soldier again to prove it?

"Villain, villain, want to open a paperwork." The visitor seemed to be afraid to talk to such a big chief.

"Are you going to be a soldier?"

"Yes, yes—"

Wu De sighed, today day, there are no less than twenty people who come to the Ministry of Social Affairs to open a slip to apply. Combined with the recent dismissal of the machine factory and the various systems, his full male labor force has been reduced by fifty, and if this continues, the commune will become a women's village.

The treatment of this soldier is too good. Wu De thought that the settling-in allowance was 200 kilograms of rice, one tael of silver per person per month, and all food and clothing, no wonder this group of members were going to join the army.

"First rain, give him a certificate." Wu De said weakly. No matter how you say it, you have to obey the overall situation. At present, the expansion of armaments and warfare is the main theme.

"Yes, sir." Chu Yu is now unofficially the secretary of the commune. After the political examination and probationary stage, according to his own resolute request, he was assigned to Wu De. After arriving at the commune, she took care of Wu De's daily life. I thought the food in the canteen was not good, and I started my own fire, and I helped him cook and wash every day. He also repeatedly hinted that he could do more for him. Wu De didn't expect that he was an outdated middle-aged man in the 21st century, but in this time and space, there was a girl's love. No wonder there are so many otaku mixed in the team.

In fact, Chu Yu is not literate, and after defecting to the traverser, he also went to a literacy night school, and now he is only at the level of semi-literacy.

His mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was Li Haiping calling:

"Lao Wu, the recruitment situation of our navy has not been very good recently, and the army has withheld all the most physical fitness. You see if it's up to us to figure it out. Are you also a Navy veteran—"

"Okay, if someone applies for it, I'll spread the word."

"Thank you for your help! When you give a letter of introduction, you must indicate that you are reporting to the Navy. ”

Conscription from the commune would severely weaken the labor force, and Xi Yaya, who was in charge of conscription, set up a recruitment point in the bustling city of Dongmen.

The name of the recruitment is naturally not a name such as the crossing army, but a multi-"hundred people's group" that is pleasant. The county is completely deaf and dumb, and one of the traditional Chinese officialdom techniques is that when it is time to be an ostrich, you must bury your head deep - it is better not to know than not to deal with it. The traversers were not worried about what the already almost naked Lingao County Government would do to them.

"Grandma, is this treatment too high?" Dongmen Blowing Rain is responsible for maintaining the order of recruitment at the scene in Dongmen City. Looking at the large notice of recruiting Xiangyong just hung on the wall: each soldier settles down with two gongshi (200 kilograms) of food, food and accommodation (20 kilograms of monthly rations), and one tael of silver per month.

However, Xi Yaya said that the salary is not high. During the Apocalypse, the military salary of each town in Liaodong was two taels per month, and the monthly salary of newly recruited soldiers in the middle of Chongzhen rose to three taels and two cents. If it weren't for the Ming army's restraint, the soldiers would basically not be able to get their hands on it, and the traversers would not be able to recruit people until two or two months.

Zhang Bolin went around pulling locals to serve as soldiers under the wall, and he now understands a little bit of Lingao's words.

"Brother, come to us to be a villager, the monthly salary is one or two, and the officers and soldiers don't have this kind of salary. We also have food and clothing. ”

"If you don't do it as a soldier, you have to lose your head."

"Don't go, we have enough food here every day, and we still have money to take, think about it?"

"I still have a wife and children at home, chief, just let me go."

"The wife and children are brought in, and we are responsible for the settlement of the family's food."

……

According to the conscription jihua established by the Military Commission, the army recruited 400 soldiers and 100 cadets. The Navy recruited 100 soldiers and 100 cadets. Soldiers are 17~25 years old, and students are 13~16 years old. Cadets are trained as the backbone of the future army, and in addition to participating in military training, they will also receive a series of specialized skills training.

However, at the time of recruitment, it was found that most of the applicants did not know their age at all, and could only say the approximate year. A few people don't even know that there has been an apocalypse year. I thought it was now the world of "Wanli Emperor". From the outside, they are all black and thin, and it is difficult to correctly judge how big they are, although the health team later engaged in a process of looking at the teeth, but it was only to find a rough idea. The young student soldiers in Jihua, Zuihou only recruited a dozen.

The locals of Lingao are not too enthusiastic, they are either small yeoman farmers or tenants with a little industry, although they are poor, there is no problem in mixing around, and naturally they are not interested in being soldiers. On the contrary, there are more poor people such as "Fu Lao" who come to Hainan and Hainan to work as long-term laborers, and these people are basically bachelors and have no worries.

There are also some people who are overage at first glance, and those who have no food and clothing come to join the army. zuihou has also taken it.,It's a logistics when you're old.,Now the traverser is in a hurry to storm the population stage.。 Someone can do anything.

However, such soldiers are generally thin and small, and their health is damaged by long-term malnutrition and hard work, although they are hard-working and exceed their physical conditions in weightlifting tests.

"People are a little shorter, and they are not strong enough." Wei Aiwen was a little lost, these little natives obviously did not fit his aesthetic taste for military appearance. The commune came to apply because of the good food, good physical conditions, and seemed to be first-class, Wei Aiwen unceremoniously filled in the army's registration form.

"If you are short, you will be short, you will be strong, and you will bear hardships and stand hard work." Xi Yaya is not so particular. But the height standard has dropped to 155cm, which is really low enough. And it looks like most of them are skinny, and 20 kilograms of rations are not enough for them...... Xi Yaya muttered in his heart.

When the Navy discovered that the Army was withholding recruits from among the recruits, it requested that another recruitment point be opened at Bopu. Fishermen who come to fish are taught the benefits of joining the Navy. Fishermen were obviously much more adventurous than farmers, and with the navy's reputation as a big iron boat and "fast boat", the navy could easily recruit more than 100 fishermen. Some people even came from neighboring counties. Chen Haiyang was happy at first, but later realized that it was not that the navy was more inspiring, but that for well-informed fishermen, it was already part of their livelihood to join a maritime group as pirates for a few months. If you mix well, you will stay forever - defecting to the "Australian bandits" is no different from defecting to the Zheng family. Chen Haiyang looked at this group of half-fishermen and half-bandit recruits who had just been recruited -- he really had to put some thought into his political work in the future.
