Of course, since Liu Tuanzuo asked all the questions, why would he still be afraid that the beautiful reporter would find out?
With a clear look on his face, he said, "Okay, don't report it to me. I just need to know whether it was executed or not. As for the details of the execution, there is no need to talk about it."
Liu Xueyuan glanced over with a pair of beautiful eyes, and Liu Lang explained to Zeng Shui confidently: "The Japanese spies are rampant and Wuhan is in danger. Second Lieutenant Zeng went to fight under my orders last night. I want them to take a good look at the members of my independent regiment."
Soldiers are the strongest wherever they go."
The word "combat" used by the regimental commander was so accurate! Zeng Shui nodded solemnly. For 2 and a half hours last night, as a young man with no experience, although the time of each battle was extremely short,
, but I can’t stand the high frequency of combat! Perhaps knowing that both of them had a narrow escape from death in Songhu, Lieutenant Comet completely let go of his mind. His long wheat-colored legs were like wildly dancing flower stamens in the late autumn night of Wuhan.
The seduced young lieutenant fought desperately again and again, extremely passionate, even crazier than when he suppressed three hundred Japanese invaders with one shot.
As the saying goes, "There are only fields that can be plowed, and there are no cows that can't die from exhaustion!" Until now, the little second lieutenant who has been training like an ox in the Independent Regiment for more than four years still has dark circles under his eyes, and his waist and eyes are still sore.
Japanese hard steel is much more tiring.
Although I feel that Lang Pang's words are not true, this explanation is barely acceptable. Even if Liu Xueyuan still has doubts in her heart, it is difficult to ask. What if it is really a military secret? Even with her understanding of Lang Pang, don't look at it.
He looked upright, but there was a hint of obscenity lingering on it.
"Hey, Xueyuan, do you know why I know about hot dry noodles, but my independent regiment's logistics have never used them as food?" Liu Lang took the initiative to change the topic.
Sure enough, this topic instantly attracted Liu Xueyuan's attention. It was really attractive as what Liu Lang had described to her at the dinner table. It would be great if the frontline soldiers could have a hot meal between battles.
Something!
While the Independent Regiment has developed weapons and equipment over the years, it has not relaxed its logistical supplies. As early as when he returned from the Battle of the Great Wall, Liu Lang started various scientific research groups to develop the Independent Regiment from main artillery to main rifles and then to pistols.
Liang Wenzhong was ordered to find various food experts to develop military rations that were easy to carry during long-distance marches and could ensure sufficient energy.
Military rations based on fried rice and noodles with various types of omnivores and beef still have shortcomings. Through long-distance training tests, an individual soldier can carry rations for up to six or seven days. Otherwise, he must pay the price of reducing the amount of ammunition he can carry.
But that is obviously impossible. Every infantryman in the independent regiment must carry more than 200 rounds of ammunition and 6 individual grenades during wartime. Even the infantrymen in the infantry squad have to help the machine gunners carry some of the ammunition.
Ensure that the infantry squad's light machine gun has sufficient firepower.
In other words, if the independent regiment mainly relies on fried noodles for military rations, it will only be able to survive for seven days at most after losing logistical support. The troops will have to send out manpower to look for military rations. If they are engaged in a defensive battle and are heavily surrounded, it will be even worse.
Unfortunately, before the bullets were fired, the food was gone.
Liu Lang first thought of the compressed biscuits that were widely used by the Republic in time and space. Compressed biscuits served as individual soldier rations in the Republic for many years until the development of technology and the emergence of self-heating individual soldier rations.
Liu Lang is naturally very familiar with a small compressed biscuit that contains a large amount of puffing agent. Because the texture is relatively tight, the puffing agent is used to reduce the water content and make it less likely to absorb water. The ingredients in the biscuit that can replenish the energy needed by the human body are in the same volume.
The lower content makes it more resistant to hunger.
Moreover, the production process of compressed biscuits is not complicated, and the puffing agent is not a new thing. Not to mention that it was used in World War I. Even the Chinese themselves have used it. They make popcorn from house to house on the street.
The large white rice has expanded several times, but there is also a puffing agent in it!
Liu Lang also knew that non-high-tech products like compressed biscuits were not even ahead of the times. Within two years, the stingy senior management of the Japanese base camp would also come up with this idea and begin to use extrusion methods to process rice and wheat as military rations.
Compressed biscuits will come out.
With money, creativity, and the help of a young foreign girl who came from the second generation of the United States of America, which had the most developed industry during this period, compressed biscuits were actually successfully developed in 1935 and equipped with the entire independent army.
However, as individual soldier rations during critical periods, the main force of the independent regiment had not been greatly tested until the Battle of Jindong and was not separated from the support of the Logistics Department, so it never had many opportunities to enter the war stage. There were soft ones.
Steamed buns, steamed buns and broth, who wants to chew on dry biscuits?
In addition to compressed biscuits, there is beef jerky. The beef jerky that also uses dehydration technology is difficult to chew, but the size and weight are reduced and it can ensure the strength of the soldiers. Then there is chocolate. In the past three years, Liu Lang has imported a large amount of it through Huamei Company.
European and American countries stuffed chocolate into individual rations for soldiers during World War I. It was also a good thing to supplement energy.
These three treasures constitute all the individual rations carried by each soldier in the independent regiment. Although they cannot be compared with the individual soldier rations of various countries in the next few decades, which can not only heat themselves, but also heat soup, rice, pickles, and seasonings in more than a dozen ways, but in the future,
On the battlefield in China, Liu Lang was sure that even the Japanese, who claimed to have crushed China with their logistics, were far inferior.
If a Japanese army and the Independent Group were to fight without any logistical support, the Independent Group would be able to kill them just by competing for food. Although canned beef is good, it is heavy! Although rice balls are tasty, they are not heavy.
It breaks easily!
But obviously, if you can have a piece of "hot dry noodles" like this, you only need to soak it in hot water and pour it on the sauce that can be wrapped in oil paper. It must be a very sumptuous lunch for a single soldier.
It's much better than chewing hard, hard-to-eat beef jerky and then taking a bite of dry compressed biscuits. Even if it's imported high-end chocolate, if it's eaten as a snack, it's naturally very delicious, but if it's eaten as a meal
...
"Hey, although the hot dry noodles are good, the shelf life is still not long enough! If we can think of some ways to improve the shelf life, maybe it is a good choice to use it as instant military rations. However, the war has started, and my independent group does not have much time.
Let’s go do this.” Liu Lang laughed.
"Then what you told me was so serious that it made me happy for the frontline soldiers in vain." Liu Xueyuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Rolling one's eyes and rolling one's eyes are completely different concepts. Turning means annoying, and throwing means no different. Liu Tuanzuo, who had just learned that a certain second lieutenant fought fiercely last night and was affected by it, had two charming eyes on his heart.
His big white eyes were shaking wildly.
"Ahem! Just because I can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it! I think Boss Cai is a thoughtful person. Since he can invent quick-to-eat hot dry noodles, he might be inspired by me and want to do government business. He can do this.
Will it be done?" Liu Lang said with a smile.
Liu Lang didn't lie. He took the initiative to share this idea. In fact, he hooked up with Boss Cai to study noodles that are easier to preserve and more convenient to eat than hot dry noodles. For example, this should be born in twenty years -
-instant noodles.
Boss Cai's eyes started to shine when he said that noodles might be enough for the army. Otherwise, Liu Lang wouldn't have casually asked the man who was still immersed in eating noodles to pay the bill.
, just let Liu Lang and others leave easily, which clearly meant using thirty-three bowls of noodles to make Liu Lang his friend.
Of course, Liu Tuanzuo, who is good at bullshitting, still doesn't know that the shrewd boss Cai "makes up for the loss outside the dike". Since the mysterious fat man said that the traveling businessman who is obviously not the same as them will pay the bill, let's give it a try
You can't lose a piece of meat, right?
Anyway, he succeeded.
What Liu Lang didn't know was that just by his casual words, not only Boss Cai was moved, but also the head of the Investigation Bureau who was following him was moved.
Before the next day, as soon as Liu Lang left Wuhan and completed all the tasks, he found Boss Cai, the founder of "Hot Dry Noodles", and wanted to cooperate with Boss Cai while revealing his identity.
Cooperate with Moss to promote the improved version of hot-dry noodles to the military for use as military rations. Neither of them is stupid. They can't just use this kind of hot-dry noodles without being beaten up by government officials.
Obviously, the cooperative duo did not succeed. Even if they made slight improvements, officials from the Nanjing Base Camp Management Department tasted it several times and found that the hot dry noodles tasted good, but they were still far better than the ration bags for frontline soldiers.
The fried rice and noodles in it are troublesome.
If you want to eat hot food, don’t you know how to boil the water to make fried noodles? Then you still need this noodles?
There is no way, the Chinese soldiers of this period may not be called the best soldiers in the world, but they are at the forefront in terms of endurance. During the war, not to mention eating fried rice and noodles, they just had a piece of fried rice from a few days ago.
Dry steamed buns and just some snow water can be used as dry food for a day.
Even in normal times, dry rice and boiled cabbage are their daily routine. If they can eat a piece of meat, it is almost time for the entire army to mobilize and go to the battlefield to risk their lives.
It's sad, but it's true. Even the officials in charge of logistics rarely think about improving the food for the officers and soldiers on the front line, because they are also used to the tenacity of the soldiers.
The two people were shocked but were not discouraged. If the bosses did not adopt it, it was because they had not done a good job. The head of the Wuhan office of the Investigation Bureau who wanted to be promoted but was not was furious. He must be promoted. Boss Cai
That's all about making money.
A few years later, the first generation of instant noodles, originally invented by the Chinese-Japanese Item, was not chicken soup instant noodles, but "instant hot dry noodles" and came out in Shancheng. Although it came a little late, it was at least in time for the end of the war.
During the Battle of Xuefengshan, the Nationalist army launched a massive counterattack against the Japanese army. Each of them brought a few packets of "instant hot dry noodles." In the words of ordinary soldiers of the Nationalist army at that time: "Oh! My mother! You can have a hot meal in two minutes."
Noodles will give you the energy to kill Japanese soldiers."
During that time, it was not too uncommon to see people squatting in trenches holding steel helmets and eating noodles. After eating, they would rinse their heads with water and then shoot the Japanese.
By the way, the head of the Investigation Bureau is no longer an official. He resigned and started a business. His surname is Kang.
Anyway, when Liu Lang, the instigator, heard the entrepreneurial story of this instant noodle oligarch in Bay Province in the future, he was stunned.
Damn, is this okay?
The fat butterfly just fluttered its fat wings nonsensically, and the little devil's patent belongs to the Chinese.
