Section 145 Material Preparation

There are many clan landlords who live in clusters in Lingao, and few of them are willing to give up the current production and lifestyle of living in clusters. The clan landlords had strong personal control and influence over the people of the same clan and clan. This was the one thing that the Senate hated the most.

In the engine operation, a lot of human resources had to be transferred, in addition to naturalized people. The population of these clan landlords was also the object of the senate's snooping.

As long as the undesirable poor people in the clan are removed from the core of the ancestral hall and provided with a new life that is better than the current economic level. They won't have the consciousness of being "a family" as they do now. When they arrive in such a wild place as Taiwan and Jeju Island, they will no longer have anything to rely on except for the Senate closely, and the mentality of these people will soon change.

The clan landlords who remained in Lingao would no longer be a threat due to the loss of population, and their economic capacity would also decline.

Liu Muzhou originally had Jihua to eliminate the clan landlords, and the engine operation happened to be a golden opportunity.

If these clan landlords refused to send out the militia, then the Senate could justifiably "crusade" against them.

Thorpe put his mind back to the document in his hand, and he was very dissatisfied with Jihuali's standard of 350 grams of brown rice per person for four consecutive months, because there are a large number of construction projects in the refugee camp that require refugees to provide labor.

Refugees stranded on Jeju Island are also transferred to Lingao, Kaohsiung, Cheondok, Hongji and other places. The time of food demand will increase further. Thorpe intends to advise the Planning Institute to increase grain procurement in Southeast Asia.

The first shipment of Siamese rice has been brought in thanks to the efforts of the Vietnam Trading Company, which has been filling the original supply of Vietnamese rice that is beginning to wither. Siamese rice is mainly indica rice, and most of the patriarchs are used to japonica rice, not very accustomed to this rice, but ordinary people who have been in a state of semi-starvation for a long time are not so picky.

Another way to feed refugees is through local land development. However, Jeju Island has a relatively thin soil layer, making it not a suitable place for large-scale agricultural production. In the history of Korea, Jeju has always existed as a pasture and fishing port, and agricultural production is weak.

In the Jihua of the Committee of Agriculture, it will be mainly used as pasture. Then reclaim a part of the land with better natural conditions as agricultural production land. It is said that the climate and environment of Jeju Island are suitable for growing potatoes, and the growth period of potatoes is not long, the yield is large, and potatoes are rich in vitamins, and can be used as a staple food and a vegetable, which can effectively supplement the food of refugees.

The Committee of Agriculture (COAG) has kept seeds for crops suitable for growing in the cold northern regions, which are nearing their expiration date, and Oh Nam-nam spoke to him last time and asked for a special farm on Jeju Island to be opened for seed breeding. It's a win-win-

On the ship's floor, the discussion among the veteran officers had come to an end. Thorpe slowly paced to Fu Sansi's side. Thorpe knew that this kind of freshly made life vest was not ideal: the kapok-filled vest was heavy and bloated, and soldiers couldn't do tactical moves in it, and the only thing that was satisfying was that once it fell into the sea, this life vest could indeed keep people floating on the water.

Unexpectedly, the core of the argument among the senators and officers was not the action of the life vest, but the appearance of the sè. Some have questioned whether the life vest is so fresh and yàn violates the principle of "low visibility" in combat.

Of course, this kind of objection has little meaning in this time and space - the dazzling military uniforms have always been the mainstream of military uniforms in the 16th ~ 19th centuries, and the Fu Bō army, which was organized according to the tactics of lining up to shoot, except for a few special units, also wanted to use beautiful and gorgeous military uniforms, but the conditions did not allow it for the time being. Not to mention life jackets.

"Thorpe, how are the winter clothes of our detachment?" Zhu Mingxia asked, "You said that you would bring samples to everyone this time." ”

Thorpe smiled, "The garment factory has already paid me a batch of prototype winter uniforms. Originally, I planned to let a class dress up and show everyone the effect, but the weather is too hot today, so let's just take a look at the sample. ”

The group returned to the conference room in the ship's building, and Thorpe's orderly had already spread out a full set of winter clothes for the northern region on the conference table, which were mainly used by the troops north of the Yangtze River and south of the Yellow River for winter equipment. In fact, it can also be used in Jianghuai, Hebei and other slightly southerner or northerner areas.

The "Type 31 Winter Clothing of the Army Field Forces in the Northern Region" is made of imported British thick woolen wool to keep it warm and waterproof. It comes in a short trench coat style with chōu tight cords at the hem and cuffs. Since Lingao could not make a zipper, the front placket of the uniform was jiāo double-breasted, with a high stand-up collar that could be fastened, and a waterproof hood of raw sheep máo fabric was attached to the garment, which was an additional thermal hat. The lower body is a woolen horse kù, with deerskin boots - the deerskin is very warm and waterproof. Since there was not so much deerskin available, the bulk was intended to be made from cowhide for a part. The hat is made of cotton "three tiles", which is the so-called "Lei Feng hat" warm hat. After wearing this, the soldier cannot wear a steel helmet. Thankfully, the soldiers of the heights rarely needed a steel helmet to protect their heads.

In addition to the jacket, there are additional garments such as thin cotton vests and cotton liners. It is used to enhance the warmth function at low temperatures. After all, Lingao in this time and space has not yet produced clothing such as sheep máo shirts and sanitary clothes, and soldiers basically wear coats directly over their shirts, and the warmth effect is limited.

The soldier's gloves and warm socks were woven from thickened cotton yarn, and Fu Sansi felt that this thing would definitely not work to keep warm. Under the current conditions, the ideal military glove is a duck paw cotton glove, which is hung around the neck with a connecting rope. It's not difficult to keep warm and make well, but in case of an emergency, you have to take off your gloves. Socks can be considered to import sheep máo spinning máo thread to make máo socks, and at present, they can only be coarse cotton socks for the time being.

If you go further north, for example, into the Liaodong region, the warmth of this uniform is lacking. Therefore, the garment factory also trial-produced a military cotton coat as a supplement.

"With a cotton coat, it's almost all done. I used to be a soldier in Shaanxi, and when I wore a military coat at night, I was not afraid to stand guard outside. Fu Sansi was full of praise for the military cotton coat.

It was particularly important for the soldiers from the south to keep warm when they first arrived in the north, especially since the main source of troops of the Fu Bō army was from Liangguang and Fujian. Suddenly going to the north is simply not able to adapt to the winter there, and chilblains can be quite severe. If not treated properly, wound infections can be a huge burden on logistics. Southern-born patriarchs also had a hard time adapting to the local climate.

The patriarchs looked at these newly made winter clothes, and from time to time they used their hands to mō a mō. The woolen uniform looks really different from the cotton, especially after adding the collar badge, cap badge and various military symbols, the full uniform looks really majestic, and it can't be compared with the soft cotton military uniform.

"It's like a soldier." Fu Sansi sighed, "The current military uniform, if you don't have an armed belt, it's a flour bag. It's loose, and the temperament of a soldier still can't come out......"

The military appearance and demeanor of the Fu Bō army dare not say that it is the strongest in this time and space, at least it is much stronger than that of Da Ming and Jianyu. But for the senators, the military appearance of the Fu Bō army still looked a little shabby.

"What is this?" Someone picked up a shell and made a container.

"This is an antifreeze yào cream developed by the Ministry of Health, and each soldier is issued a box. The health team will also reserve some for use - and will be distributed to refugees if necessary. Thorpe said, "Liu San is also organizing Runshitang to develop frostbite yào cream. ”

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Beishang detachment, in addition to importing woolen wool and sheep máo to make winter clothes at no expense, the personnel of the Beishang detachment were also adjusted considerably, and soldiers from Liaodong, Shandong, Henan, Beizhili and other places were transferred from the whole army to the 4th Battalion. Increase the rate of soldiers from the northern regions.

Those soldiers from Shandong were organized into a company-level unit directly under the detachment, and then reinforced to each company and platoon to act as guides and interpreters. In addition to the soldiers from Shandong, units of soldiers from southern Fujian and Hakka origins were also specially formed for landing in Taiwan.

In addition to recruiting militia from Lingao, Dong Mén Chuiyu and Wei Aiwen also planned to recruit some "mountain infantry" from the Li Miao people, mainly cold weapons, and deploy them in Taiwan to "guard" and "crusade" Taiwan's natives. However, Zhu Mingxia didn't think it was very interesting, but he didn't object to it -- at least increase the number of troops occupied by the low-level security army to the northbound detachment.

"Look at this, everybody." Thorpe pulled out a wooden box like a trick. It was opened in an exaggerated way in full view of everyone.

Inside are several rough brass cylinders. Everyone's eyes suddenly became suspicious. After a few seconds, Zhu Mingxia finally understood, he cheered, took one out of it and put it on his eye, and slowly pulled the lens barrel.

The box contained the telescope that the army and navy had been pulling in the planning institute for a long time.

There are large quantities of telescopes in the inventory of the Planning Institute and in the inventory of the patriarchs. But the army and navy also have a great demand for telescopes. The Army wanted to equip every company commander with a telescope, and the Navy repeatedly stated that at least the captain of every ship should be equipped with a telescope -- otherwise it would affect the effectiveness of the ship.

In addition to infantry company commanders, artillery, engineers, and other jishu units also need telescopes. Therefore, documents such as applications and memoranda for the demand for optical equipment have always been the main documents on the desk of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
