Chapter Eighty-Three: New Military Uniforms

(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )

The morning at Mawei Military Port has always started with a bustle, and today is no exception. Early in the morning, when the Minjiang River estuary is at low tide, the river is turbulent, and the river water is constantly surging. The waves are constantly rolling; The ripples in circles are also constantly rippling, constantly appearing and disappearing from sight. Birds that can't be named are constantly flying low on the surface of the river, getting close to the water from time to time, picking up a fish and flying away in a hurry.

This morning, as usual, all the soldiers got up early under the horn of the trumpeter. Today, however, the Navy did not go to sea as it did on a regular basis, and the Marine Corps did not enter the school for training. After breakfast, all the soldiers returned to the dormitory and stood in a line at the door of their dormitory.

The soldiers have been informed in advance that all soldiers will change into uniform uniforms. And I was told that this military uniform was designed by Shizi himself, saying that it was to make them look more like professional soldiers. Looking at the expressions of the soldiers, I obviously had some doubts about these contents, I don't know what the prince will design the clothes into, is it like the Western instructor wears?

A month ago, Geng Jingzhong began to prepare for these things after receiving Hu Jicai's report. He planned it and decided to have the soldiers completely change their clothes. Now that the muskets are ready and can be officially hunted for troops, then all troops with thermal weapons should no longer wear old-fashioned military uniforms, and keep pace with the times!

Geng Jingzhong doesn't understand sewing military uniforms, but it doesn't matter, there are people in Fuzhou City who understand. There is no woman in this era who is not a female red expert, the life pattern of male farming and female weaving has lasted for thousands of years, if a woman does not know how to be a good female celebrity, it will be a joke. All the clothes worn by the family were sewn by the women of the family, and the ready-to-wear clothes in the shops on the street were generally bought by the rich or people from other places.

Although the military uniforms of later generations have various logo decorations and look very beautiful, they are all produced by the machine. In this day and age, there are still some things that are not doing well. For this reason, Geng Jingzhong directly ordered someone to find the shopkeepers of all the garment shops in Fuzhou City, and asked them to be responsible for making military uniforms for the Mawei Navy, and all the styles of military uniforms were provided by Geng Jingzhong.

If you want to ask Geng Jingzhong to draw some simple drawings of real instruments, it is no problem, but he has a specialization in the art industry, and he really can't draw the drawings of this clothes. Geng Jingzhong is thinking of imitating the style of military uniforms of later generations, which is very different from the current era. Geng Jingzhong immediately thought of those soldiers hired from Europe, many of whom came in military uniforms. The military uniforms of the West are the closest to those of later generations, and to be precise, the military uniforms of later generations are constantly improving according to the current style.

Geng Jingzhong found a few sets of Western soldiers' military uniforms and asked the tailors in the mansion to improve them according to his requirements. And just like that, several new military uniforms were born! This set of military uniforms can better reflect the temperament of a soldier, and Geng Jingzhong felt very satisfied after trying it on first. The uniforms look very refreshing, and there is no need to add other emblems for the time being, but in the appropriate places, a certain amount of space is reserved for the future to wear the corresponding officer insignia and skill insignia. The military uniforms that have been changed this time are different from those of the Navy. Although there are three types of training clothes, regular clothes and dresses, their styles and colors are very different.

Except for the shirt, which is pure white, the rest of the clothing is grass green. Although the uniforms of the British soldiers brought were all red, Geng Jingzhong still felt that green was the best, and the uniforms of later army soldiers were all green! The navy has a wider variety of clothes, including white, red, dark blue, and black coats, as well as blue and white coats. This style of short coat is today's T-shirt, but at the moment it is exclusively for the Ponytail Navy.

The best of these is the officer's dress. These officers' dresses are all made of fine gongbi cotton, with delicate texture and good structure. But if you want to resist Zou Bao, these fabrics can't do it, even if the fabric is thickened. In the end, I couldn't help it, and I put a layer of leather on key parts of the clothes, such as the shoulders.

It took a morning for the entire barracks to distribute all the uniforms. For the time being, all summer military uniforms were issued, and each person had three sets of training clothes and six sets of regular uniforms.

"Hey brothers, what am I talking about, it's really the same as the instructor's clothes!" After receiving the uniform and returning to the dormitory, a fat soldier immediately shouted, as if he was very proud of his prediction.

Several other soldiers were also trying on their clothes, and when they heard his words, one of the soldiers immediately said: "No, it's a little different, didn't you notice that there is an extra row of buttons on it, it's still copper, tsk!" As he spoke, he touched the double-breasted button with his hand and looked like he liked it.

"Actually, I like this belt the most! With this belt on this waist, it's really magnificent! Look! "The fat soldier put on his shirt and trousers, and tied a black belt around his waist.

The eyes of other people were immediately attracted to him, looking at his appearance, it was indeed much more powerful, especially the buckle on the belt, with a big tiger head on it, magnificent, really magnificent! Several others quickly fastened the leash as well.

"If you want to say, we are still generous, we have six more sets of clothes at once, and we don't have to buy clothes in the future! I heard that there are still a few sets of winter ones that have not been issued! ”

"That's, you don't look at who the son is, the reincarnation of Wuquxing! With the son, we are lucky! ”

Such scenes were played out in every dormitory, and each soldier was constantly trying on several sets of his own clothes. The Western soldiers on the other side also received military uniforms, and these Western soldiers had already integrated into the big collective of the Geng family army. Now most of them can basically communicate in Chinese simply, and it is estimated that in the next year, they will be fluent in Mandarin than the soldiers!

Previously, these soldiers from Europe had always worn their original clothes, and Geng Jingzhong had never let them change the clothes of these Western soldiers, and the horsetail soldiers were also accustomed to it. Very often, when training on a warship, the clothes of the fighters were not convenient. Therefore, the military uniform issued by Geng Jingzhong at this moment is also very acceptable. Now the whole army has changed its uniform, and of course they are no exception.

In addition to the fact that the style of these military uniforms is imitation of Western military uniforms, the biggest difference is that there is an extra leather zuò epaulette on the shoulder. No matter what kind of clothes you wear, there are epaulettes on your shoulders

Place. The epaulettes are made of leather zuò with a five-pointed star and bars pinned to it. This is completely Geng Jingzhong's epaulettes made according to the epaulettes of the People's Liberation Army in his memory, and according to the different ranks of officers and soldiers, different epaulettes are worn on their shoulders. In this way, no matter when and where, as long as you see the epaulettes, you can distinguish the level of the rank, which is convenient for command!

The soldiers of the Marine Corps quickly became familiar with it, but on the Navy side, it was a bit more complicated. The navy officers wore clothes in four colors alone, and they also had to wear epaulettes. Because the sea and sky are blue, in this blue background, Geng Jingzhong had to design the color of the military uniform darker. Pure white, red, dark blue and black, the soldiers of different posts wear different colors of military uniforms, at a glance. Even in the most intense and chaotic battles, the soldiers can quickly identify each other's identities.

The Mawei Navy wants to dominate the seas, and there will be many wars in the future. Especially in large-scale naval battles, where there are hundreds of large and small ships participating in the battle, and the soldiers are in tens of thousands, the scene can be quite chaotic. Besides, it is very common for officers to transfer to each other, and if you are on one battleship today, you will most likely be transferred to another tomorrow. When I first arrived, I was definitely not familiar with the new comrades, the new soldiers, and the new commanders. As a result, it is difficult for officers to work quickly and effectively because they are unfamiliar with qiē. And with these different colors of military uniforms and epaulettes pinned to the shoulders, as long as you look at it, you can know who your commander or soldier is.

At the same time, the different colors of military uniforms also allow each commander to effectively manage whether his soldiers are working hard or not. There are many soldiers on a battleship, such as the newly built third-class battleship, each battleship has 600 people on board, so many soldiers can work together in an orderly manner. Each soldier has his own work area, which can be seen at a glance if a soldier in a different color uniform is running around.

For example, a soldier in a red uniform and a helmsman runs off to fiddle with rigging. What do you want to do with such a bad job? Running to the edge of the deck to see the scenery? Therefore, each commander can manage his own area very easily, which also makes the efficiency of the entire battleship greatly increased!

"Go, go!" After the Marines spent the morning getting acquainted with the new uniforms, the afternoon training began as usual. The soldiers who had changed into new military uniforms lined up again, and their momentum had indeed increased a lot.

"Shizi, your methods are one after another, which is dizzying! Admire! Admire! Li Guangdi accompanied Geng Jingzhong to the school to inspect the training, and when he saw the current military appearance, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, there's so much more you can't think of! Let you slowly see and understand in the future! Geng Jingzhong is not modest about this, he has the pulse of the development of later generations for hundreds of years, and his vision is not understandable by Li Guangdi now.

Li Guangdi smiled, "Oh, the ideas of the prince are more practical than the other, I'll wait and see!" ”
