Nominally, Yan Shao was already in control of Anhui, but in fact he only controlled the four cities of Dangtu, Wuhu, Tongling, and Anqing, as well as some surrounding counties, towns, and villages, and only Wuhu and Dangtu were completely controlled.

Of course, it can also be counted as Hefei and Huizhou and other prefectures and counties that have been captured by the first and second divisions, but the time for the recovery of these cities is still short after all, and the people sent by Yan Shao have only just taken over, and it will take some time to completely master them.

Therefore, so far, the ID card, household registration and reserve systems have only been implemented in these four cities and surrounding areas, relying on Yan Shao's past fame and mastery of these places, except for Tongling, which has a little more resistance, the implementation speed of other cities is very efficient.

However, Anhui has a population of more than 20 million, and it may take a long time for these three policies to be fully implemented.

To put it simply, there is still a long way to go...

Fortunately, Yan Shao does not plan to go north or south now, and with the strength of these three divisions at the moment, it is still no problem to hold Anhui.

————————————————————

On the river outside Anqing Wharf, a fleet of more than a dozen ships is slowly approaching, and then slowly docked under the command of the wharf staff.

"Alright, let's all go down..."

Standing on the bow deck, an officer in a black uniform shouted to some of the other 'soldiers' who had been recruited.

The people on this fleet are all soldiers recruited from Tongling, and the entire fleet is about 1,000 people, which is equivalent to the establishment of two battalions. They were greeted by a two-month recruit training—————— which was supposed to be three months. It's just that the time is relatively tight now, so some subjects can only be practiced after they officially enter the army.

Under the command of the officer, the future soldiers walked down the ship in an orderly manner.

But at this time. Another fleet sailed in from a distance.

"That's..."

Looking at the flotilla that was also docked at the pier, the officer frowned slightly.

Because he recognized that this was not the Rainstone Group, of course, it could also be said that it was not a ship owned by the junta, but a foreign ship. Of course, this is nothing, but they are now standing on the junta's private dock, and it stands to reason that there should be no foreign ships docking.

Seeing that the officer leading them shifted his gaze to the fleet in the distance. The soldiers, who had been moving forward, stopped.

After about a while, a group of porters, led by several junta officials, came to the dock, and a few white men came down from the fleet. The two sides talked to each other for a while. The porters boarded the fleet and removed boxes of stuff from the fleet...

Seeing this scene, the officer finally understood what these were.

"It turned out to be a weapon carrier..."

The officer who understood it shook his head, then turned his gaze to the soldiers standing behind him.

"Let's go. Training is time-consuming. You're running out of time..."

After speaking, it seemed to recall the experience in France, and the officer's face showed a look of reminiscence, with a hint of remembrance and ...... Suffering.

Obviously, the experience in France was not pleasant for him, at least not much, although the girls of Algiers had been bred by the French to be very hot.

Since it was not a suspicious ship, the officer did not feel that he needed to stand here any longer, so he just stood for a while and left.

At the same time on another pier. The porters were also carrying wooden crates filled with German-made Mauser 1904 rifles and 6.8mm ammunition.

The training time for recruits is only two months. Therefore, Yan Shao urgently needs a batch of equipment for those recruits. Fortunately, by this time, Mauser 1904 had already opened up the market in China, and many German foreign firms, including Lihe & Co., had stock.

Of course, no matter how much inventory there is, it is impossible to have more than 100,000 rods, but the total number of large and small foreign banks in Shanghai is more than 30,000. Considering Yan Shao's needs, Lihe Foreign Company came forward to purchase a lot of rifles from other German foreign companies in Shanghai, and finally scraped together enough firearms for Yan Shao's first batch.

The ships they saw this time were the first fleets responsible for transporting, and there were many more to come.

Those recruits don't need to be empty-handed when they train, which is certainly something to be happy about. However, it is limited to this, except for the Mauser rifle, the other equipment that Yan Shao needs is not available on the ocean.

For example, the Browning M1911 pistol, the Madsen light machine gun and the Maxim heavy machine gun he needed, etc., the former did not have it at all because it was a newly put into production, and the latter two were some, but the quantity was simply not enough, not even a fraction of it.

As for the 75mm mountain gun and the 105mm light howitzer, it's even more of a problem that you don't even have to think about ...

However, it was already a blessing in misfortune to be able to get enough rifles, so Yan Shaozhi didn't complain about anything.

"Alright," said Durrell, who had disembarked from the boat, as one of the porters at the end of the boat had brought the rifle down. There shouldn't be any problem..."

"Of course not..."An Yiyun smiled, just now several officers from the Ministry of Military Affairs who came with him had already counted the rifles in the box, and there was basically no problem with the number. After the sampling inspection, there is no problem with the quality. "It's a million dollars, take a look..."

Taking out a check for one million yuan from his briefcase, An Yiyun handed the check to Durrell.

500,000 is not a small amount, if it really wants to be packed into a box, then this box must be very large, and it is definitely not something that a few people can carry. So before leaving, what Yan Shao gave An Yiyun was a check from the Bank of England for one million yuan.

After carefully looking at the string of zeros after the 1 on the check, Du Ruian also looked happy after making sure that there was no problem. "It's a pleasure to do business with you..."

This is definitely not a lie, after all, few people can come up with a million as happily as Yan Shao.

An Yiyun just smiled at this, and then motioned to the workers next to him to carry the box to some carriages that followed them not far away.

At this time a Mauser G98. Well, that is, the price of the Mauser 1904 was 100 silver dollars, and this time the fleet shipped 5000 rifles. That's 500,000 yuan. But it is useless to have a gun without bullets, after all, a rifle without bullets and only a bayonet may not even be better than a broadsword. So the remaining 500,000 yuan is used to buy bullets, and the bullets used in the Mauser G98 cost 100 yuan per thousand rounds, and 500,000 yuan bought a total of 5 million rounds of ammunition.

Although Xiangshan's arsenal is also producing bullets, after all, the scale is not large, and the number of bullets produced is not very large. It even takes one battle to exhaust the bullets produced by the arsenal in a year.

5 million rounds of ammunition is not much. But it was enough for the Anhui revolutionary army for a while.

————————————————————

In the study, Yan Shao was sitting at the back of the bookcase biting the tip of his pen, not knowing what Lu Dao was drawing on the white paper. Sometimes the face is hideous. Nodding and smiling from time to time. However, these outsiders were invisible, for he had just ordered not long ago that no one should be allowed to approach the study.

When they first got the news, Elano and Caterina were also taken aback. I thought he was trying to do something bad in the study. When they saw Lu Ying in the Governor's Mansion. only to find that things seemed to be a little different from what they thought.

"What the hell is that guy doing in the room—" Standing outside the door of the room, Elaline and the three looked down in thought. Even Lu Ying was worried, although she regarded Yan Shao as everything to herself, it didn't mean that she couldn't see Yan Shao's shortcomings, on the contrary, she saw it very clearly, and she was also very aware of Yan Shao's lustful character.

So if someone told her that Yan Shaozheng was fooling around with a woman in the room right now, she would definitely not be surprised.

After a few minutes of waiting. The three of them, who couldn't take it anymore, decided to go in and have a look, but when they pushed open the door to the study. only to find that Yan Shao was drawing something on the table.

"What are you doing?"

There weren't any undressed women and scenes of driving themselves crazy, which made the three Elano breathe a sigh of relief. But looking at Yan Shao drawing on the table, Elaline and the others were still strange.

"How did you get in?" Noticing that Elano and the others had come in, Yan Shao frowned, but he didn't pursue anything, but let them come over. "Forget it, you guys come here, I just have something to look for you"

The three of them were originally very curious about what Yan Shao was drawing, and it was naturally impossible not to go over when they were allowed to do so, and at this time Yan Shao also explained. "The uniforms of the Revolutionary Army are too messy and not aesthetically pleasing at all, so I'm going to redesign a new uniform..."

That's right, military uniforms ...

Yan Shao's nearly 3,000 descendants are not to mention, all black military uniforms, but this military uniform is a completely simplified version, so although it can't be said to be ugly, it definitely can't be said to be good-looking.

As for the Anhui New Army and those thousands of patrol battalions? Now that the reorganization has been completed for less than half a month, the progress of the reorganization is only preliminary, and it is impossible to have time to replace them with new military uniforms, not even a new style.

But speaking of which, the light blue uniforms of the new army are really unpleasant to look at, and the uniforms of the patrol battalions, although they also have a little bit of the characteristics of modern military uniforms, but compared with the light blue uniforms of the new army, it seems that the evolution is not exactly the same...

So...

"So I'm going to redesign a military uniform, a military uniform that can fully express the momentum of the revolutionary army." Glancing at the surprised expressions on the faces of the three people, Yan Shaozheng said.

"Military uniforms?" Looking at Yan Shao's serious appearance, Song Dinghan Elaine couldn't cry or laugh a little.

Now that even the reorganization of the army has not ended, and there are still many cities in Anhui that have not been recovered, so he still has the heart to design a military uniform?

Although the appearance of Eleno and Caterina on their faces was very obvious, Yan Shao just waved his hand.

In Yan Shao's view, the role of military uniforms is not only to look good, but also to enhance people's confidence, in addition to military songs, but unfortunately in the previous life Yan Shao could not say that the five tones were incomplete, but there was not much research on this aspect...

"So what kind of military uniform do you want to design? My dear..."Eleno, who had never seen that Yan Shao still had this talent, said with a slightly relaxed demeanor after retracting the expression on his face.

Apparently. She didn't think that Yan Shao could design any good military uniforms.

Not only her, but even Caterina is the same, only Lu Ying has a little confidence in Yan Shao. Of course, it's just a point, greater than less than or equal to zero...

Although the distrust expression on Elaine's face was obvious, Yan Shao did not move, but only looked up and smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry, the military uniform I designed is at least the best looking military uniform before 1950..."

"Really?" Katarina, who didn't know any of this, just looked at him with distrust. Although Yan Shao does surprise her many times, she still doesn't believe it. "Forget it, he's mine anyway...... When the time comes, as long as the designed military uniform is not too ugly, just reluctantly accept it—————— just wronged those poor soldiers. ”

I don't know what Catalina is thinking. Yan Shao beckoned to them. "Come on, come on, I'm just looking for your help." With that, he got up from his seat, walked behind the three men, and walked towards the table with his arms around them.

Although he seemed to naturally include Lu Ying in it. But Elano and the others quickly realized his intentions. Then he squeezed Lu Ying out of his arms in the same natural way, and then the two of them personally pulled her to the table and sandwiched her in the middle to avoid being poisoned by Yan Shao.

Yan Shao just smiled helplessly at these things, and then refocused his attention on the table. "You can help me beautify my uniform..."

————————————————————

Although Yan Shao's painting level is not the level of children's graffiti, I am afraid it will not be much higher than the level of graffiti.

So after seeing Yan Shao's paintings, not to mention Elaline and Katarina, even Lu Ying showed an expression that couldn't help laughing. And they definitely couldn't see what Yan Shao was going to paint.

After a long while, Elainor, who was finally smiling, looked up at Yan Shao's somewhat ugly face. In order to take care of his face, he had to go against the word of conscience. "Actually, it's not bad, but I'm sorry, I don't really understand abstract paintings..."

Glancing at the military uniform on the white paper, Elaline covered her mouth again and snickered, as did Lu Ying on the side, but Caterina ignored Yan Shao's face, and unabashedly covered her lower abdomen and laughed, which made Yan Shao have the urge to 'straighten out' her in front of Lu Ying.

Looking at the abstract works on the sketches, listening to Caterina's laughter, Yan Guang's face seemed to be slightly red. "Sure enough, abstract works are not something you can appreciate, it seems that you still need to find a realist to polish it..."

As he spoke, he handed the sketch to Katarina. "I'll leave it to you..."

Katerina, who was originally laughing, looked at the sketch in front of her and was dumbfounded, but looking at her stunned, this time it was Yan Shao's turn to smile.

In fact, Yan Shao originally had the intention of asking them for help, after all, Yan Shao only remembered the appearance of the military uniform, but his actual painting level was better than that of primary school students at most. In contrast, both Elaline and Caterina studied painting when they were in school, and they are also very experienced in fashion design, and the fashion design studio they opened together has designed many popular clothes.

It is obviously the most appropriate for Yan Shao to narrate it himself, and then let them draw it.

Although Caterina was always happy to hit Yan Shao, every time Yan Shao showed an expression of please, she couldn't refuse. Just like when she was on the island, she would refuse every time Yan Shao made some excessive requests, but as long as Yan Shao hugged her and soaked her softly, she would still agree after all.

And now too...

Seeing that Caterina agreed, Yan Shao hurriedly pushed them to the table, and then handed over the pen used for painting, while he stood aside and narrated.

According to Yan Shao's narration, Elaline and Caterina sat at the table and slowly painted, although Lu Ying also knew how to paint, but what she knew was ink painting, so she just stood aside and was responsible for getting started.

About an hour later, a set of pure black military uniforms with silver trim appeared on the paper.

Although it is only a set of sketches so far, even the most uninitiated person can see that as long as this uniform can be made, it will definitely look better than all the military uniforms of this era.

The M32 military uniform, which was later used by the German Nazis.

Yan Shao completely disagreed with the Nazi set of ideas (where do we Chinese put it?). But at least in Yan Shao's opinion, the SS M32-style uniform was definitely the most beautiful in World War II.

Of course, even the most beautiful military uniform needs some modifications, after all, there are many aspects of this military uniform that are not suitable for the revolutionary army, such as the silver skull on the hat.

At the same time, looking at the military uniform Eleno on the sketch, they also showed an expression of appreciation, and they also looked a little surprised when they looked at Yan Shao. Although they used their brushes in the process of drawing, they knew very well that they were actually just drawing according to Yan Shao's intentions, so they were very surprised that they could draw such a beautiful military uniform after the most beautiful —————— they originally thought that Yan Shao just had his own unique views on women's clothing.

"Is it up to the garment factory now?" Looking at the sketch again, Elaline looked at Yan Shao.

She was now in charge of the group's business, so she naturally wanted to ask for clarification.

"Of course." Yan Shao nodded. "In addition, the cloth is all cotton, but the officer's winter clothes should be made of black wool."

The cost of woolen is much higher than that of cotton, and if all wool is used, even Yan Shao can't afford it. So it's just the officer's military uniform, and the black hair is fine. (To be continued......)
