Now that everyone had reached a consensus, France and England reached a peace agreement in Amsterdam.

"I know that the peace agreement between our French friends and the British has caused some of our comrades to waver, and some comrades are worried about whether we have been betrayed by our French friends. Because the British declared that, according to the agreement, the French were no longer allowed to sell us military weapons. But, colleagues, the new ships that have arrived today, and the new cargo they have sent us, prove that this is nothing more than a rumor. Alright, let's all come and see our new stuff. ”

The soldiers gathered around Joyce and looked at the wooden boxes beside him. None of these wooden crates have been opened, and the contents are not visible, except for a line of large letters on the outside: "Agricultural Materials." ”

Underneath this line of large letters, there is another line of smaller bold letters, which reads "Efficient Farmland Bird Repellent".

"'Efficient bird repellent'? What is this thing? One of the fighters asked.

"The crowbar is over there, can you just open it yourself and see for yourself?" Joyce waved his hand.

So the soldier picked up a crowbar and pried open the crate. Inside the crate was a layer of well-wrapped oiled paper; The oiled paper was opened, and it was used to cushion the wood shavings; Peeling aside the shavings, it is a long strip wrapped in an oilcloth. This thing is so familiar to everyone that before they have time to open the oilcloth package, everyone knows what it is.

"This thing is a 'high-efficiency farmland bird repellent'?" The soldier had skillfully removed the rifle from his oilcloth bag and aimed it in his hand.

"This thing is used to repel birds, and it works really well." Another soldier laughed, "John, there are ten birds in a tree, and you shoot one of them, and there are a few birds left in that tree." ”

"Hell yes! I'm not a stupid boy. John said, tucking the gun back into the oilcloth bag.

"And this, what is this thing?" Another soldier pointed to another box. That box had the words "Efficient Farmland Boar Ejector." ”

"Open it and take a look!" It was said.

"Don't be busy, let's make a bet on a pack of captured British tobacco leaves. I guess it's a broadsword, is anyone against it? Squad leader Oha's first shouted.

"Oha, you still have it here? How many good things are you hiding? ”

"Some open their mouths, but those who don't have poor ghosts go aside!" Oha said disdainfully.

"Oha, how many do you have left? I'll bet with you. I use my collection of French brandy. Joyce said suddenly.

"What? Teachers...... Commander, you can't trick me, I saved these things with great difficulty......" Seeing Joyce speak, Oja immediately realized that he might have made a mistake, and quickly said.

"Division, commander, don't believe him, Oha, this bad guy was still sharing yesterday and gave away my last bit of tobacco, and now he actually has ...... again"

"That is, where did he save it himself, he saved it by eating us and drinking us."

Joyce also laughed along with hahaha, "Oha, you still obediently take out your pack of tobacco leaves, well, I will also take out that bottle of brandy, and then we will share it together, isn't that a beautiful thing?" ”

So everyone started to coax together, and Joyce was very generous to let people take out the brandy. In the commotion of everyone, Oja also had to take out his pack of tobacco leaves.

"Division Commander, what do you mean by this 'efficient farmland wild boar ejector'?" At this point, someone finally returned to the original problem.

"How do I know, I haven't opened it again." "But I guess it's a normal mine." Because there are two more boxes that look similar to each other, and they are also wild boar destroyers. But unlike this one, the 'wild boar' on that one is plural. I'm guessing it's the broadsword mine in there. ”

"Open it up, open it." Everyone said.

So the box printed with the singular form of "wild boar" was opened, and sure enough, it was an ordinary mine that could only blow up one pig's trotter; And the box with the plural form of "wild boar" was opened, and it was full of broadswords. It's just that......

"Teacher, you see, the words on this are different." A warrior picked up a broadsword and shouted at Joyce.

"I'll look at ......" Joyce looked at the broadsword mine, and saw that on the front of the mine, there was a line printed on it: "This is facing the pig!" ”

"Comrades, everyone has seen that what the French sold us is all a rumor. If you believe that, you're really going to be blown up by this thing. Joyce laughed.

"Divisional commander, in that case, why did the French comrades want to make an armistice with the British, and also suggest that we also have a truce with the British for the time being?" Someone asked.

"Because whether it's the British, or the French comrades, or us, we need to be well repaired. As you should know, the French comrades overthrew the tyrants at home and established a republic. To this end, the feudal tyrants of Europe, led by the British, united and went to war against our French comrades. Want to turn France into a tyrant-ruled kingdom again.

But our French comrades defeated them. After several years of war, the feudal kings who had waged war against France were defeated one by one. But on the French side, the scale of the war was much larger than on our side, and the losses of the French comrades were no less significant. You see, this year we have been constantly counter-sweeping, and we have been doing it for months, and the time to plant potatoes is running out. The French comrades have been fighting against encirclement and suppression for several years, and no one of us is iron-clad, and everyone has to take a breath. ”

Everyone nodded their heads together and imagined together how hard the French comrades must have been after several years of encirclement and suppression. They all agreed that it was time for the French comrades to take a breath.

"Let's talk about us. The British are vicious, and over the years, they have either come out to sweep when they are planting potatoes, or they are about to harvest potatoes. What are they for? Isn't it just to prevent us from planting potatoes so that we can starve to death? When planting potatoes this year, the British came out again, and although we have now driven them out of the base area, the planting of potatoes this year has been delayed a lot. If the British come to make trouble again at harvest time, our life will not be easy.

And then the British. In this sweep, we killed more Brits than we did at any time. They are also afraid of death. The reason why they dare to sweep us non-stop is because they think they can block our sea routes and starve us to death? The other day, at sea, our French comrades fought a battle with the British, breaking through the blockade of the British. They know that they can't block us anymore, and they have lost a lot of battles elsewhere, and they are just as out of breath, so they have to stop and catch their breath.

Comrades, that's why we, our French comrades, and the damned British, need a truce. The current truce is not the end, but only a break in between. Everyone is taking advantage of this break, trying to catch this breath first, and then beat the one who hasn't taken a breath to death.

So comrades, the armistice is not rest, we can't feel that the truce is over, we can breathe a sigh of relief, we can go to sleep. President Russell said that we need to seize this time to resume production, so that our potatoes grow so much that our warehouses are so full that we can't eat them for a year or two. In that case, even if the British took a breath and came back to do a big sweep, we would not be afraid of them.

But, comrades, a lot of the potatoes we planted this year have been ruined by the British, and the Black-skinned Dogs. Even if we replant now, it is impossible not to affect the harvest. If we follow the way in the past, this year, we will not be able to harvest as many potatoes as we can harvest per acre of land. We can't breathe like this, but we can't breathe well. Comrades, we still have to think of ideas to make this breath more enjoyable. Not only do we have to recoup the losses caused to us by the British and the black-skinned dogs, but we also have to fight for a good harvest. In this way, we can take a breath first, become stronger and stronger, and finally defeat the British and achieve national independence. ”

"Commander, what do you say!"

"Yes, yes, what you say, teacher, we will do it."

The soldiers said one after another.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Joyce boarded a crate containing a plural form of "efficient farmland boar eviction" and said, "The comrades of the federation are mobilizing the common people in every village to replant crops and recover the losses as much as possible. And open up more wasteland, expand the planting area, manage the fields more, weed and care frequently, and don't let rats, rabbits, and wild boars come out and harm our potatoes. Strive to make up for the loss.

Comrades, the local comrades are working very hard, and our fellow villagers are also working very hard, and they are now sleeping day and night in the potato fields, doing farm work with all their might. We can't just look at it, can we? Therefore, President Russell asked me, 'Do the comrades of our division have the strength to do it themselves, plant some potatoes, and also reduce the burden on the local comrades and our fellow villagers in addition to military training?' 'You say, 'What do I say?' ”

"Commander, what did you say?" The fighters asked.

"What do I say? Can I still be cowardly at this time? Of course, I said, 'President, my soldiers and I used to grow potatoes, and growing potatoes is what we do.' If it weren't for the British who the dog said, who would want to fight all day long and not grow potatoes? That's fine. Because the young men in our division are the best farmers, and when it comes to growing potatoes, no one in the world can compare with our division. Just wait and see, not only can we grow enough potatoes for our own food, but we can also support the second division! ’

The president said, 'The second division also said that they must be better at farming than us, and they will support us when the time comes.' 'You say, we can get the second division to support us?' We have to let them know why we are the first division and they are the second division. You say, "Isn't that right?" ”
