Chapter 102: The Meeting Before the Expedition
Gu Xiaoying pinched up a piece of gravel the size of a thumb cover, his expression could not hide his shock, and he turned to Liu Zhi and said, "Chief, why did you just slap your palm lightly, and this stone plate became like this?" ”
Liu Zhi put on a piece of clothing, wiped the sweat with a towel, and replied casually: "When you slap a palm, the vitality can be divided into hundreds of strands, and you can easily do this kind of thing." ”
Hundreds of shares? Gu Xiaoying was half-understood, and was just about to ask carefully, when Fu Kui suddenly walked in, he walked straight to Liu Zhi, and reported in a low voice: "Chief, all the officials you have summoned have arrived and are waiting in the office. ”
Liu Zhi nodded, and said to Gu Xiaoying: "I'll explain to you in detail after the meeting." ”
"Okay." Gu Xiaoying had nothing to do, the three of them walked out of the practice room together, turned a few corners, and came to the office in Liu Zhi's suite, there were only seven people in the room, namely the four battalion commanders of the Dragon Barracks, Huang Han, Fang Shaochuan, Duan Qi, Xu Liang, Wu Yang, the director of the Military Intelligence Department, Song Fan, the commander of the independent company, and Qiu Yuancai, the director of the Materials Bureau.
After everyone greeted each other, Liu Zhi beckoned everyone to sit down, and went straight to the point: "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting, Lao Qiu, you tell everyone about the situation first." ”
"Yes." Qiu Yuancai nodded at Liu Zhi, then turned to a cadre of officers and said: "Regarding the expedition discussed three days ago, it is because the armament production of our Material Bureau cannot keep up, so the date has been delayed, and now the basic combat equipment is ready, and several new equipment has been added. ”
Speaking of this, he picked up a silver-white helmet from the side, which was similar to the kind worn when riding a bicycle or electric car, and after showing it to a few people present, he explained: "This is the new equipment that our Material Bureau and the Scientific Research Bureau have focused on developing in the past two months. Bright Silver Helmet', the shell of this helmet is made of a newly found metal, the hardness is far beyond ordinary metal, almost half of the hexagonal wood, the helmet is pasted with a good texture of demon animal skin, which can greatly reduce the shock caused by the impact, at present, the production of this helmet is the highest, the inventory has exceeded five hundred, enough to equip all the soldiers of the four dragon battalions and independent companies. ”
All the officers except Huang Han showed a little interested, when the helmet was first produced, it was personally tested by the soldiers of the first battalion led by Huang Han, so he was very familiar with the attributes of this helmet.
"Now that the Bright Silver Helmet is finished, let's talk about the second piece of new equipment, improved leather armor."
Hand the helmet in his hand to Xu Liang on the left, and after a few officers checked it slightly, Qiu Yuan picked up another piece of leather armor and continued: "Why is it called improved leather armor, because the selection of materials this time is very strict, and the production is more fine, on the surface, this leather armor is almost the same as before, but in fact, it is at least the difference between paper and linen, the production materials of this leather armor are all taken from the hardest part of the skin of the demon beast, divided into three layers, and there are two layers of demon beast scales in the middle, which have been tested by special personnel, The conclusion is that the protection ability has been increased by more than six times, and we have specially added a metal heart guard to the chest position, which has formed an effective protection for the vital point. The total weight of this thing is less than ten kilograms, for the awakened soldiers, it is no different from wearing one more piece of clothing, but due to various reasons, it is not possible to form mass production for the time being, and there are only more than one hundred and twenty pieces in the warehouse now, I remember Deputy Director Huang told me that there are a total of 112 officers above the platoon level in the Military Affairs Department, and one person is just right, as for the other soldiers, it cannot be rationed for the time being. ”
The officers were obviously more interested in this improved leather armor, Qiu Yuan was just halfway through speaking, he couldn't help but whisper, and after he finished speaking, Fang Shaochuan couldn't wait to ask: "Old Qiu, this improved leather armor has a great effect, it's almost the same as a bulletproof vest, when will it be mass-produced?" ”
Duan Qi echoed: "Yes, with this helmet and new leather armor, even if we encounter the half-werewolves in the wild, we don't need to be afraid of them, just face them head-on." ”
Qiu Yuancai shook his head and said: "To be honest, if you can find a group of demon beasts with scales, it is actually very simple to achieve mass production, because there is not much problem in terms of labor, the main thing is that there are too few materials, so far, among all the demon beasts we have hunted, there are only five with scales in total, and even fewer of them meet the toughness standard. ”
Everyone was silent, they have been leading teams to hunt recently, and they have encountered a variety of monsters, but only this monster beast with scale armor is very few, and Song Tuo has not even seen it.
Liu Zhi also twisted his eyebrows and fell into thought, in his impression, he still saw a lot of scaly demon beasts, but there were very few of them living in groups, and most of them lived in the Taining Plain, which belonged to the Tibetan Mountains, but there were almost none.
After a short silence, Qiu Yuan coughed lightly twice, bringing everyone's attention back to the topic, in addition to a metal shield that could not be mass-produced, the things he introduced next were some military items that played an auxiliary role, such as kettles, flints, ropes, backpacks, etc., and at the same time he personally demonstrated the usage, which can be regarded as a side show that the civil department has achieved great results in the past few months.
After Qiu Yuancai finished speaking, Wu Yang stood up and looked around at the crowd: "The time for the second military expansion has been officially set, just tomorrow morning, after the meeting, please report to you, tomorrow after breakfast, the mobilization meeting will be held after breakfast, as soon as the conference is over, the expedition will be set out immediately, however, these expeditions are a little different from the last time." ”
He spread a topographic map on the table, and distributed a piece of information to Huang Han and the five people, and then explained: "What you are holding in your hands is the specific task of this time, the content of the task is generally similar, but some details are slightly different, it should be noted that in addition to discovering and conquering human settlements, this expedition also has a very important task, that is, to draw a topographic map near the tribe, in order to cooperate with you to complete the task, our military intelligence department will send thirteen intelligence officers to accompany the army, They will take care of the drawing work, but we will ask for your help in terms of exploration and statistics. ”
Huang Han took a cursory look at the information, and took the lead in saying: "This is as it should be, and I will send someone to fully cooperate." ”
The rest of the people also echoed, they were all commanders of the first battalion, even if they didn't understand it before, they understood it somewhat after this period of military training. When planning a battle, we must first analyze and study the terrain on the map, figure out where the terrain is dangerous, where the movement is restricted, where there are commanding heights, rivers, dense forests conducive to ambushes, and so on, and then decide on specific actions according to these circumstances.
