Four hundred and sixtieth eight chapters have to dress up
Guangzhou Seventh Army Headquarters
This has always been one of the most heavily defended places in the entire Guangdong region. Nearly 5,000 soldiers from the Seventh Army's most elite guard regiment are stationed around the headquarters. This guard regiment has a tank equipped with thirty-six tanks.
-34 tank tank battalion, three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion and one automobile company. All soldiers are battle-hardened soldiers and officers selected from various units and are absolutely loyal to Suri.
Under their guard, ordinary people would never be able to enter the heavily guarded headquarters without special passes or the guidance of guards. But today, there were two blond and blue-eyed foreigners wearing the uniforms of the Seventh Army.
He walked into the headquarters so arrogantly.
"Mr. Su, I think our hospital can no longer meet the needs of the military and people. We should expand our hospital and strive to build a hospital that can accommodate 1,500 beds, 300 doctors and 500 nurses.
Large hospitals that include nursing staff and cleaning staff, otherwise we will have to turn away many patients in the face of more and more patients, which is very inhumane."
Suri felt helpless listening to the Mandarin with a foreign accent. He sighed and said to the visitor: "Dr. Tabitha, I can understand your mood, but you have to know that you have to eat one bite at a time.
We have to do it one by one. We only have so many resources and can only do so many things. We can recruit medicines and even nurses, but the training of qualified doctors and the expansion of hospitals are long-term matters.
There’s no rush.”
"What does it mean to be impatient? I think you are not in a hurry. Also, I repeat, I am the most loyal servant of the Lord, and being a doctor is just my part-time job. So please call me Pastor Tabitha! And
, please don’t use those high-sounding words to deal with me, I just need results!”
The forty-year-old Caucasian in front of Suri was the one Suri brought Tabitha from Nanjing. This guy who insisted that he was a pastor, not a doctor, had used him since he followed Suri.
His superb medical skills saved countless lives and earned him a high reputation. As Su Rui's official position grew, so did he, from the director of a field hospital to the director of the Guangdong Health Minister.
seat.
I have to say that this old man’s mind is still very pure. No, since Guangzhou was recovered, many people who originally fled to Hong Kong for refuge have returned to Guangzhou. Coupled with the continuous influx of foreigners, Guangzhou’s total population has now
The population reached more than 1.5 million, which was hundreds of thousands more than the population before the Japanese invasion.
As the population increases, more and more people come to the hospital for medical treatment. As the largest hospital in Guangzhou with the strongest teaching staff, Guangzhou First Hospital also feels a lot of pressure. The shortage of doctors, beds, and medical staff makes it difficult for health care professionals to
Tabitha, the minister and director of Guangzhou No. 1 Hospital, saw this in a hurry, so he immediately thought of asking Suri for help.
Seeing this man's confident look, Su Rui felt a headache. He said helplessly: "Okay. Pastor Tabitha, I want to tell you solemnly. My current position is the deputy commander of the Fourth War Zone of the Republic of China.
Sir and Commander of the Seventh Group Army, my duty is to lead the troops in fighting, not the hospital, so if you want to expand the scale of the hospital, please go to Mr. Zhang Zhizhong, the current governor of Guangdong Province. He is the person in charge of civil affairs, do you understand?
"
"I don't understand!" Tabitha said confidently: "I only know that you are my boss. Isn't it very common to go to the boss when you have difficulties?"
Suri was stunned. The corners of her eyes twitched for a while before she said helplessly: "Tabitha, you're a bad student!"
Ignoring this increasingly rogue guy, Suri turned his attention to the young man aside and smiled gently: "Smith, it's hard for you to come to my place. What can I do for you?"
This young man is none other than Tabitha's nephew Smith. This young man who looks to be only 24 or 25 years old is mute. Due to his calm personality and good at managing logistics, he has been serving as the logistics director of the Seventh Army and came to the office.
After that, he quietly watched his uncle bickering with Suri. It wasn't until Suri asked him something that he turned his attention to Tabitha again.
Seeing her nephew turn his attention to her, Tabitha said: "Mr. Su, you also know that Smith can't speak. Isn't it difficult for you to ask him like this? Smith, please give Su what you wrote quickly."
Sir."
After hearing this, Smith took out a document from the briefcase beside him and handed it to Suri.
Su Rui took the document and read it softly: ""About the inconvenience and difficulties caused by the cumbersome military equipment and numerous calibers""
After reading it slowly, Suri's face gradually became serious. In this report, Smith criticized the weapons and equipment of today's troops. He pointed out that the weapons and equipment of today's troops come in various forms, including those made in the United States.
Garand rifle, M2 machine gun, German-made MP38 submachine gun, mg34 machine gun, Colt m1911 pistol, Grumman pistol, etc. The calibers of various weapons are different. The caliber of light weapons alone is 7.62 mm, 7.0 mm
Ninety-two millimeters, nine millimeters, 11.4 millimeters, 12.7 millimeters, etc., there are so many different types. This is a disaster for the logistics department, and with the expansion of the army, this disaster is still intensifying.
, the logistics department is now overwhelmed.
After a long time, Suri raised his head and asked Smith, "Smith, do you have any specific solutions?"
Smith took out another document from his briefcase and handed it to Suri.
Su Rui lowered his head and read word for word: "Several suggestions on simplifying the army's weapons and equipment, striving to reduce the burden of logistical support, and striving to implement one bomb for multiple uses."
"Hey...you kid really does one thing after another." After reading this, Suri raised his head and looked at Smith funny: "Although you can't speak, you still do one thing after another when giving a report.
Yes, you also translated all these documents into Chinese. From this point of view, you still put your heart into it. Well, let me take a look..."
After saying that, Su Rui lowered his head and started reading slowly. There was silence in the office, only the sound of Su Rui turning the pages of books from time to time. After a long time, Su Rui slowly leaned his head on the armchair and said a word with his eyes.
No words were spoken.
Smith and Tabitha did not disturb Suri's meditation, but sat down and waited patiently.
At this time, Su Rui felt a little emotional. Since Su Rui came to this time and space, starting from Nanjing, he has equipped his troops with weapons. American Garand rifles, German mg34 machine guns, etc., these weapons were all used in the past
It was one of the most sophisticated weapons in World War II that had been tested in actual combat in the time and space. Therefore, when Su Rui saw that the weapon was easy to use, he would not hesitate to use it to equip the troops. However, he did not expect that it was precisely because these weapons provided
The logistics department brings a lot of trouble.
As we all know, the caliber requirements of various countries in later generations are that the fewer and simpler the calibers of weapons, the better. The fewer the calibers, the less the logistics workload. Take light weapons as an example. Today, in Suri's army, only
There are as many as six or seven calibers of light weapons, which puts a lot of pressure on logistics. In the past, the size of the army was not large, so from time to time the logistics department would mix up the calibers of ammunition, but now the army has
As the number of troops expanded to 200,000, this problem became more and more prominent. On the Jiangxi battlefield some time ago, when the troops were fighting fiercely, a certain unit in the front was in urgent need of 7.62mm Garands.
Instead of rifle bullets, logistics transported a large number of 7.92mm machine gun bullets, which made the troops at the front dumbfounded and directly affected the troops' fighting into the city. It was after Smith saw this that he proposed to Suri
It is necessary to simplify the requirements for the caliber of weapons of the troops.
"That's right!"
Suri nodded and stopped talking. Smith had made it very clear in the report that the calibers of the Seventh Army's small arms must be simplified and unified, either all using American equipment or all German equipment. Otherwise, as the army grows in the future,
If it expands again, logistics will definitely be overwhelmed and collapse.
But whether to use American equipment or German equipment? This is a bit difficult for Suri. German weapons are relatively more rigorous, coupled with the Germans' excellent workmanship and excellent design, German weapons have both shooting accuracy and range.
It also has certain advantages in terms of service life.
But American equipment also has its advantages, that is, because they emphasize firepower output and have powerful technology, US military weapons have a characteristic that cannot be matched by other countries' weapons, that is, they are extremely versatile, and many parts of light weapons can be used interchangeably.
For example, some parts of the Garand Rifle M1 rifle can be interchanged with parts of the M1919 general machine gun, which also greatly reduces the logistical pressure. During World War II in another time and space, the U.S. military deployed several units in Europe.
There are millions of troops, but the logistics support is still more than enough. Everything from heavy artillery shells to chocolate and coffee can be transported to the front line in an orderly manner. This also proves the effectiveness of the US military's logistics support. Therefore, if you want to simplify logistics, American weapons are the first choice.
Su Rui thought about it for a long time, but it was still difficult to choose. For example, the German mg34 general-purpose machine gun equipped in the army has been well received by the soldiers since it was equipped with the army. It has a fast rate of fire and powerful firepower, and is light and convenient, making it easier to replace the barrel.
It is very convenient. Looking at the machine guns of other countries during World War II, there is no machine gun that can compare with it. It would be a shame to just give up.
"well……"
Thinking of this, Su Rui couldn't help but sigh. His industrial strength was still too weak. If he changed to a country with a certain industrial foundation, it would be so troublesome to just change the caliber of the mg34 machine gun to 7.62 mm.
good.
Finally, under Smith's expectant gaze, Suri made the decision to listen to Smith's decision and prepare to replace all the troops' light weapons with American-style equipment within three months.
