Chapter 1103: Backing
The sound of a hundred cannonballs landing at the same time was amazing, giving the impression that the on the other side were drowned in the smoke and dust of the explosion. However www.biquge.info when the fighting subsided, there were not as many casualties left at the scene as expected.
The shelling caused the black robbers to retreat quickly, and Wen Tianyu and the others, who were not strong enough, had no way to pursue. When cleaning the battlefield, Uncle Black's corpses and seriously wounded were counted, and it turned out that more than 200 people were killed and injured by the mines, but the casualties caused by the shelling were only more than 400. This is far less than everyone expected.
"Well, don't be discouraged, that's a reasonable casualty figure. A hundred shells can kill more than 400 people, which is already remarkable. Wen Tianyu patted the artillery battalion commander on the shoulder, and then everyone was worried about the corpse that fell in the minefield.
Anyway, it stinks. it, it's too dangerous.
"Let the black captives go and drag the bodies out." Wen Tianyu decided to make use of it, and they still caught more than 100 niggers who couldn't run on the way to evacuate the blacks. "Dig a pit and bury it."
Blacks are also an important resource that can be used for many jobs. In the past, the Chinese in Angola could not even afford to support their own people, but now they can start raising black slaves in small batches to do some dangerous work.
After the battle, the defensive line was rearranged, and the lessons learned began that night. In the past, Wen Tianyu led the team to make small troubles, but now he finally wants to expand the team, and he ran into a lot of trouble.
The quality of the soldiers, command and communications, and logistical support, Wen Tianyu listed these problems one by one, attached his personal opinions, and sent them to Xiang Ming and Zhou Qingfeng in Luanda.
Xiang Ming could only give encouragement and let Wen Tianyu do it. Zhou Qingfeng gave advice: "Let professional people do professional things." I don't think you can limit yourself to just the veterans as the backbone of the armed forces, you have other talents, and you can recruit them. ”
In order to show his support for the Chinese forces in Angola, Zhou Qingfeng transported a group of whites he had absorbed in Luanda to Malanje by airship, including the Belgian Fuller, who had been rescued earlier.
"Hello, Mr. Fuller, welcome to our base. I have received orders from my superiors. From now on, you are the Minister of Logistics of our Chinese People's Front Armed Forces in Angola. We will cooperate with you. ”
Saluting, shaking hands, and giving a speech, Wen Tianyu ushered in a foreigner as his deputy. Fuller will specialize in logistics. In the modern army, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. If the logistics are not good, it will be a fart fight.
Most of the people who come to Africa to work hard are ordinary people in China's domestic society, and most of the veterans are big soldiers, and low-level officers are rare. There is no one who understands logistics.
Westerners, on the other hand, have many high-level intellectuals who like to come to Africa, such as Mr. Fuller, who is unlucky and lucky to come home. The Belgian was summoned by Zhou Qingfeng in a daze, and when he took over the post of managing logistics, he was sent to Malanje by airship, and there was no room for him to refuse.
"Hello, Mr. Wen, I think we can cooperate amicably." As a construction engineer, Fuller has professional expertise in planning, statistical distribution, and other work. He led a team of five people and quickly got to work to clear some logistical difficulties for the Chinese forces.
Fuller's arrival did help a lot, but the white man sighed after reading the simple documents provided by Wen Tianyu: "You Chinese really want to eat all the time." ”
The more than 200,000 surviving Chinese in Angola can select a group of talents no matter what. But in fact, whether it is Wen Tianyu or Xiang Ming, the management organization they plan is very small. What are the rest of the people doing? I am trying to dig food from the ground and eat it.
During the nuclear winter, Zhou Qingfeng used coal from Mexico to build a greenhouse and used maggots to get protein. The Chinese in Angola do not have coal, but they build underground greenhouses to maintain temperatures by burning wood and weeds.
In the most difficult period, no one cared about team management, and everyone was struggling in underground greenhouses. The edible mushrooms grown in the greenhouse have become food for many people.
And even after the nuclear winter has passed, the cultivation of edible fungi in underground greenhouses has not been interrupted, and the output has been increasing.
Fuller singled out the people who could form a management organization from the crude list of personnel, and exclaimed: "You 200,000 people have built more than 50,000 underground greenhouses, cultivated 30,000 acres of arable land, and produced dozens of tons of edible fungi every day in the coldest days, which is really remarkable." ”
Regarding Fuller's exclamation, Wen Tianyu said sadly: "This is not built by 200,000 people, but by more than 600,000 people." We chose to settle down in Malanje because of the fact that although it is remote, it has abundant water and fertile land.
If it weren't for the nuclear winter, we could have built it better. If the nuclear winter could be postponed by three months, we could have killed half as many people. If the nuclear winter is postponed for a year, we are even confident that no one will die. ”
Even Zhou Qingfeng was extremely shocked by the food output capacity of the base. With his cheating ability, the greenhouses built in Havana are only one or two thousand, and the food production is far inferior.
"Okay, good, what Lao Tzu wants is someone who can farm!" After reading the report sent by Fuller, Zhou Qingfeng was stunned to find that the most Chinese in Angola are to open farms.
The white people who come to Angola to invest often simply buy agricultural products, and only Chinese can really use the light and heat resources here to cultivate the land. Before the cataclysm, even the various vegetables, fruits, meats, and grains produced in Chinese farms were feeding the black people of the country.
Xiang Ming explained to Zhou Qingfeng, "Angola has more than 70% of the agricultural population, and it seems that there is no shortage of labor. But in reality, most of the blacks here would rather work as beggars in the slums of the city than cultivate the land.
Moreover, the quality of the peasants here is low, illiteracy is everywhere, and in many places it is almost at the level of slash-and-burn farming. The only thing they know how to grow is cassava, because cassava doesn't need field management, and they can wait for the harvest to be planted.
Our country once sent people to teach them to grow corn, but they were stunned that they could plant corn seedlings into corn grass. What a pity for 35 million hectares of land in this country! ”
This sounds regretful, but Zhou Qingfeng is extremely excited when he hears it, "The planting conditions in Angola are better than those in Cuba under my control. You must know that Cuba has a high yield of sugar, cigars, cocoa and other crops, but the food in that hellish place is just not enough to eat.
In the future, I will help you restore the part of agriculture, and I will no longer have to worry about the problem of eating. Although Angola is separated from the Americas by the Atlantic, you are my strongest backing! ”
