582 Logistics support of the Qin army
Opera requires more than just headdresses and hairstyles, but also a variety of dance and musical combinations. These Shangwen need to be found from the people, and don't think about court music. Except for the folk that the royal family in a minor key can't look down on, there is actually not much folk music.
As for the personnel, there are real maiko, but most of them are forced to live. Shang Wen can only be busy adapting the script, while also choosing actors, and explaining some problems. It's hard.
The economic negotiations between Qin and South Korea also reached a dead end, Qin did not allow the export of technical equipment, and South Korea could not get technical equipment, although South Korea had a certain economic foundation through a series of reforms, and also had a certain amount of capital to pay. But the technical limitations of the Qin state. South Korea can't get around it. The economic situation between the two sides is deadlocked here. This stalemate lasted up to seven or eight days. Han Shu made no progress at all.
And these seven or eight days. Qin's airship troops completed the transition mission in an extreme time. They took a train from Xianyang to Xinzheng, then crossed the Korean border into Yan and then arrived at the rear supply center of the Yan army.
Qin Tianjun's airship did not start to fly continuously from Xinzheng under any meteorological support. Such an adventure is really a rare opportunity for actual combat in Qin Tianjun's eyes. Because of the unfamiliar terrain and unfamiliar meteorological environment in these areas, they have been exercised.
However, their airship had no other weapons other than the revolvers on board the airships to defend themselves. Because they have to pass through South Korea, part of the Zhao region, the bomb is such a super powerful weapon that makes them feel very worried. Therefore, their bombs were still far away in the local base of the Qin State.
The manufacturing plant of the State of Qin was destroying their first aerial bomb. The reason for this is that diatomaceous earth explosives are extremely unstable. A place where aerial bombs were stored in the Qin State was due to the precipitation of unstable nitroglycerin due to diatomaceous earth. An accident occurred during the transportation process. The explosion sent the entire ammunition depot and a large amount of military supplies stored next to it into the sky.
The explosion lasted a whole day. Aerial bombs are very powerful. Moreover, the first aerial bomb of the Qin army was also a bit large. The ammunition depot turned out to be stored up to more than a hundred aerial bombs of 50 stones. The aftermath of the explosion was like a huge earthquake, and everyone in the Celestial Army felt the great power of the bomb.
"The earth is trembling." A soldier said.
Fortunately, the explosion occurred in an extremely remote place of the Qin army. Xianyang then received reports of an explosion at the flight base. In total, fifty-seven people were killed in the explosion. More than a hundred people were injured. Thirty-two of them were seriously injured. Five heavy airships were reduced to ashes in the explosion. The losses are enormous. Since the explosion was at the ammunition depot. Therefore, the state of Qin immediately stopped using all aerial bombs. And all aerial bombs should be properly recovered.
This is precisely for this reason, the Qin army airship did not carry any lethal weapons. They needed a more secure and reliable aerial bomb to bring back from the rear.
This also reminded Qin Jun again. Safety is very important. For this explosion, the military resorted to cover-up. The situation was not released to the media. All parties were subjected to varying degrees of control.
Although this episode led the Qin army to set up a department to strictly manage the security of military weapons. But Qin's related logistics procurement is also very hot.
Since the vast majority of this military operation was purely commercial. The initiators of the war turned out to be from a number of merchant organizations such as banks, traders, chariots and horses. This will open a new chapter in the mode of waging war. But logistical problems have always been a headache for these businessmen, who, although they have money, organize logistics. That's going to have to be done by a dedicated person. Although they have bank-controlled railroad companies. But after all, how to choose transportation is still a matter for the military.
As a result, the General Staff took charge of the logistics of the entire military operation.
The logistics department of the Qin State once visited the large and small food factories of the Qin State in order to find a special food, and took pictures of all the food and recorded them. In this way, the logistics department of the Qin State has a detailed list of foods.
According to this list. The state of Qin divided the food. A food is the raw material, mainly flour, corn, various vegetables, which need to be processed. Type B food is a semi-finished product or a finished product. The semi-finished product can be eaten raw or enjoyed with a little processing. Such as canned food, ham sausage, and so on.
Food A is entirely the business of the men in the army, while food B is the business of the logistics department. They ended up buying canned beef in tinplate. and a square dough wrapped in wax paper boxes. This type of dough is the same as instant noodles. Just add boiling water and serve. It is also served with a variety of seasoning packets. These spices are packaged in wax paper packets.
Not only that, but the logistics department of the Qin State also ordered biscuits and ham enema. And in order to replenish the nutrients of the soldiers. The general term for vitamins in the Qin State. The high-ranking officers of the Qin army even whimsically ordered a large number of canned fruits. These food supplies are not abundant. But for front-line soldiers. They were about to vomit after eating.
Chow mein, a food that shocked the U.S. military on the Korean battlefield, appeared at this time. This emergency food, which is mixed with wheat, sesame seeds, and corn and stir-fried, with a large amount of sugar and then mixed with a small amount of water, to make bricks is also distributed to the front line. The soldier carries such a piece of emergency food in his infantry harness. This food is due to the lack of moisture. It was hard for many soldiers to swallow him. This is the equivalent of high-calorie chocolate in the US military. Provide the necessary heat when necessary.
Not only these, but also logistics officers think a lot. The first iron kettle made of stamping was dispensed because of the presence of deserts in the area of operations. But there are very few people who use this kind of kettle. The reason is, it's too heavy. The soldiers were willing to use cortical water bladders. This iron kettle is not suitable for use.
Logistics officers are like housewives. They even bought an oven. And the wheels and brackets are installed, as long as the back of the carriage is mounted. As for the issue of transportation.
A large number of horse-drawn carriage shops contracted these transportation tasks on a competitive basis. They are constantly bringing these supplies to the front line. Trains, horse-drawn carriages, depart from Xianyang and then arrive at the mouth of the Hexi Corridor.
Then the wagon moved on to get all the supplies to the front. The combination of war and commerce is to become efficient. But efficiency is also changing in another way. That's waste. The Qin State had been preparing for this war for too long. A lot of food, ammunition, and supplies were hoarded at various transit points. After the war is over. The Qin State also had to deal with a large amount of war surplus materials.
