The people live on food!

This sentence is not the slightest exaggeration!

With thousands of years of historical precipitation, the gentleman's style of gentleness, courtesy, and frugality advocated by Confucianism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the vast majority of the time, as long as they can eat and dress warmly, the people of the country are almost docile and peaceful!

In history, almost all wars have been accompanied by famines!

In other words, as long as the people have enough food and can eat their stomachs, in fact, they don't want to make trouble!

In recent decades, warlords have been divided and fighting endlessly, and a big reason is also because they can't eat enough!

The little devil took advantage of the weakness to come in, and the root cause was because most people couldn't eat enough!

If they can't even eat enough, where do people have the energy to open up and create? When people lose the spirit of pioneering and creating, how can the country not be poor and weak?

It can be said that the lack of food is the root cause of all this!

For war, the role of food is no less important!

The two key factors that determine the victory or defeat of a war, equipment and logistics!

However, the role of logistics in war is far greater than the factor of equipment!

A well-known general summed up that laymen look at the army when they fight, and insiders look at logistics when they fight, and that's what they mean!

And the most important part of logistics support, that is, food!

Only by letting the common people have enough food to eat their stomachs can they have the strength and energy to support this war from all aspects, and the soldiers must also have enough food to have the strength to go into battle to kill the enemy!

And now, the food problem, which is one of the two key factors that determine the success or failure of the war, is about to be partially solved by his own side, how can Zhang Ran not be overjoyed?

What's more, with sulfuric acid, which can make fertilizer, will it be far from high-quality sulfuric acid, which can make nitrifying explosives?

"Lao Zhao, Lao Zheng, you have made a great contribution this time!"

Zhang Ran was so happy that he even changed his name for Zhao Wanlin and Zheng Tianming, and no longer used the usual Zhao Lao Zheng to call the two of them Old Zhao Lao Zheng Dao: "When our large army comes, I will definitely ask the chiefs for a few of you, you are simply a model of supporting my Eighth Route Army......"

"Captain Zhang, you're too polite......"

When Zhao Wanlin, Zheng Tianming and the others heard Zhang Ran's words that they wanted to ask for merit for them, their eyebrows immediately fluttered, and they pretended to be humble and said: "Although we used to be landlords, after your teachings Captain Zhang, we have already regarded ourselves as a part of the base area, and we also want to contribute our own strength to the country and the nation - as a Chinese, this is what we should do......"

"That's right, we have a good landlord like you in our base area, it's really a blessing for my detachment!"

Zhang Ran was as good as a stream, praised a few people fiercely, and then loudly called on everyone to learn from a few people.

Zhao Wanlin and the others raised their chins proudly, and when they looked at Ma Chengbang, who was usually closest to Zhang Ran, they snorted even more.

"What's there? Didn't you just get the mother acid? Next time, I must get something better to bring back, hum! ”

Ma Chengbang saw the expressions of a few people, the roots of his teeth were tickled, and when he looked back and saw Ma Youtian, Xiao Mazi and a few others, he was angry, and kicked over with a few feet, and said in his heart, the surname Zhao can be found back when they go to find the mother acid, and a few of you take the money given by Lao Tzu to find the mother acid, but you haven't found a fart back, and the harmful Lao Tzu is embarrassed in front of Captain Zhang - go back and see Lao Tzu deduct your wages!

Ma Youtian Xiao Mazi put his head in the crotch of his pants and didn't dare to say a word - who let himself really not get things done?

Zhang Ran didn't care about the open and secret battles between several landlords, in fact, this was exactly the effect he wanted!

Enthusiasm often comes from competition!

Zhang Ran wished that the more fierce the competition between them, the better, so that the detachment could benefit from it!

Take the mother acid as an example, if it weren't for these landlords, relying on himself, if he wanted to get the mother acid directly, it would be an impossible task!

It's not impossible to let Deng Fang try to make it according to his own method, but God knows when the trial production will be successful?

Base within the ground.

Now that the crops have been planted, it doesn't take much effort to take care of them, and the people finally have the opportunity to free up their hands to do something else.

In the past, even if they were idle, the common people would at most do some odd things to pass the time.

But that's no longer the case!

It takes people to open a copper mine and carry a mine, a copper smelter needs a person, a coking plant needs a person, and it also needs people to carry coal from other places......

Now as long as the people are active, every day is like a war!

It's hard, it's busy, it's tiring!

But everyone, both men and women, is busy and happy, tired and happy!

Carrying mines and coal and other kinds of work for the detachment, although there is no direct money to take, but can manage one meal a day, often with a little oil star - eat one meal here, one less meal at home!

Not to mention that the earned work can be exchanged for fertilizer in the future, and various things can be exchanged from the kiln factory......

So they are happy, busy, tired, what's the matter? This day looks better, there is hope!

Because of these people, the surrounding area of Yanggou Village is obviously lively, and people come and go every day, and the river is endless!

Shrewd businessmen have discovered business opportunities because of this, and several businesses in the county have opened branches in Yanggou Village to buy some firewood, rice, oil, salt, cloth and the like.

Every day, there are always some people who come to patronize, buy some snacks for children, buy some flower cloth for the girls at home, etc., the store is also clever, knowing that these people have no money, they actually agree to credit or directly exchange labor - anyway, the merchant knows, the fertilizer comes out, absolutely not worried about the market, and they may be able to earn both!

Yanggou Village is visible to the naked eye and lively.

Today, Yanggou Village is particularly lively, it is simply crowded!

Because everyone knows that the detachment is coming back after a big victory, and it has brought a lot of good things back!

Therefore, everyone gathers here and waits to see the excitement!

When the team crossed the hill and appeared in everyone's sight, the gathered people instantly burst into cheers, and many people rushed over to help get things.

"Queue up a little neatly......"

"Pay attention to military discipline, don't look around!"

Wang Laogui, Wang Kaishiyuan, and other officers, squad leaders, and the like loudly restrained the soldiers, trying their best to shake their official authority, as if they were afraid that no one would know that they were officers......

But who cares about them at this time!

Those soldiers barely maintained the queue, but their eyes were wandering around, looking for their relatives and familiar people from the crowd, eager to tell these people immediately how brave they were in the battle with the team this time, and how many good things they had captured.

"Sister, I got you two sets of clothes, and I'll give you ...... later."

Zhang Baoxing found his eldest sister, patted the package on his back and screamed first: "Those two devils and puppet soldiers, but I killed them with my own hands!" ”

"That's my brother, my brother - brought me the kind of fabric that Director Lu was wearing!"

There was a big girl in the crowd who excitedly pointed at Zhang Baoxing and screamed, beckoning, and she could fly......

There are many more such cases!

The woman pointed to a certain soldier in the team and praised the unknown people around her that it was her son, and this time he brought back a lot of good things for himself, and the old man pointed to someone and announced how many devils his son had killed this time, and he would honor the things seized from the devils to himself......

Although they haven't even spoken to themselves now as the sons of the Eighth Road, they are all sure that their son must be the best among all the fighters and the devils who have eliminated the most!

As they said this, their faces were full of pride and pride, and they diluted so many worries about the time when the team had not returned......

Kang Ting looked at this scene as if he was in a dream.

He has fought many battles and seen countless scenes of mourning after the war, but he has never been so popular and welcomed when he came back like now, so he smirked in the noise on the side, feeling that following Zhang Ran this time and joining the Jindong detachment was the wisest choice he had ever made in his life.

It took a lot of effort for the detachment to get to the front of the team headquarters.

Before the words of dismissal fell, those soldiers rushed into the crowd, found their relatives and friends, took out the clothes, shoes, and straight clothes they had captured on the battlefield, and watched their relatives show off their pride with the people around them......

There are many people who are happy.

"Oops, so much good steel, it's been ......"

Niu Da looked at the steel, and his eyes couldn't open with joy - as a professional blacksmith, he felt that only such high-quality steel could bring his craftsmanship to the highest level

And Cheng Dongshan Cui Sanyuan, like an old bachelor looking at a big beauty, touched and rubbed on the two engines, his eyes were intoxicated as if he wanted to pounce on them and kiss a few mouthfuls, and they were not happy to touch anyone who dared to touch a hand.

Rough Diamond stood in the middle of a large pile of bullet casings and stinky bullets.

Black powder could not be used as a propellant reloading bullet, and now he was studying how to disassemble the good medicine from these stinky bullets and reload the bullet, and he was close to success......

Wang Changtian looked at this pile of materials, he was happy and worried, happy that the detachment was getting stronger and stronger, and worried that these days, the copper mine and kiln factory were spending money everywhere selling coal, and the detachment's account was seeing that there was no money......

Lu Yan and Deng Ying were also in this happy crowd, looking for that familiar figure everywhere, their eyes met in the crowd, and they avoided each other a little weakly, and then continued to search.

But they didn't see Zhang Ran.

Where does Zhang Ran have the kung fu to delay here now!

As soon as he put down his things, he took the little dog and went to the farm to see the rabbit he was thinking about!
