"As for the material problem of molds, we have basically solved it. Thirteen types of high-life mold materials have been tested, among which Zhang Zhitong, He Yunshan and others have played an outstanding role."
Back at the base, the first thing to be held is a commendation meeting, because at the repair shop, the research and development has been transformed into the formulation and production of standards. The molds are used for bullets. At this stage, only Hancheng
The mold produced through experiments can withstand more than 30,000 times of processing.
But it is difficult to produce such a mold. The life of the molds in Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal is no more than a pack of cigarettes. The superiors seemed to want to give Yan Xishan a beating, so they sent a set of molds, specifically to make people angry.
It's not clear whether Yan Xishan used it or not. Anyway, he bought it at a high price later and even rewarded the skilled workers.
Of course, Hancheng cannot keep spending on weapons with you, because this is a long-term war, and the land opened before can no longer satisfy the increasingly large army. Moreover, just eating enough can no longer satisfy daily training. Hancheng is going to start
It has developed in the direction of eating well.
There are enough coarse grains in the cafeteria, but eating grain alone does not provide other nutrients, and the physical fitness of the soldiers cannot keep up. Although wild vegetables can be eaten, they cannot be eaten as the main vegetables. Many troops are newly expanded, and their weapons
The equipment was not very complete, and a squad could not even distinguish between two guns. They could only grab the red tassel guns and big blades from the enemy's hands.
Everyone has some selfish motives when serving as a soldier. No one can say that it is truly selfless. If we want to give soldiers something to continue fighting, this does not rely on newspaper propaganda and well-written slogans, but on actual actions.
from.
Eating meat is becoming more and more difficult. Although Hu Zongnan is a nanny, the nanny may not have everything. Therefore, it is not easy to start a side job. You have to adapt to local conditions, so let’s grow mushrooms.
"As for production, you have to improve production quality. As for the rest, you can let them do whatever they want, but the quality must be guaranteed."
Because the army has some artillery, it has also begun the construction of special forces. The current special forces are not the special forces that can go to the sky or the earth in later generations, but arms with special skills, such as artillery and engineers. Hancheng also wants to build
A special force that goes to heaven and earth, but they don't have enough to eat and drink, so what kind of mess can they build?
"The agricultural department is newly established by our repair shop. Originally, this department should be directly led by the regiment, but I asked the regiment leader to ask him to come over. The purpose is not for other reasons, but to make some oil and water in our stomachs.
, I can eat something else by the way.”
After all, the agricultural department is just to satisfy the appetite, but there is no way. You can't eat pickles as the main course all year round. Everyone here understands it. They eat pickles more often than Hancheng eats pickles. Naturally.
I have a very deep hatred for pickles.
"However, it seems that we can't grow anything now. The Japanese planes are coming, and they are more diligent than flies. Half of what we have grown has been destroyed by the bombs dropped by the planes."
The people who participated in the meeting have experienced these things, and what they brought up were actual situations, because it was too difficult. But now the poor only have money left, because there is a lot of pig iron accumulated in the warehouse, and these things
In fact, it is money.
Smuggling pig iron into the Kuomintang-controlled areas is not actually smuggling, because the output of the Kuomintang-controlled areas is not high. In just over a year, the industrial output value of the Kuomintang-controlled areas has continued to decline. There was no heavy industry in the first place, and the Republic of China felt that it would not last long.
Already.
Pig iron relies entirely on blacksmiths, and steelmaking relies on earthen blast furnaces. How does this level of technology feel like a modern country? Except for the main arsenals, which are still in operation, because they all use imported raw materials, it is better to buy them.
"I have already thought about this problem. This time we are mainly growing mushrooms, which requires a lot of fertilizers, which are mainly chicken manure."
"Chief of Staff! We can hardly feed our people now, why do we still raise chickens?"
Raising chickens actually doesn’t cost much. The important thing is how you prepare to raise them. If you raise chickens in a free-range way, there won’t be a lot of pressure on feed, but you can’t raise them in a free-range manner. What’s more, there is a lot of human feces now, and chicken manure is hard to find.
Since the arrival of the Japanese, almost all the chickens in each village have been robbed. There are not many left, let alone raised.
In fact, for Hancheng now, raising livestock is actually no solution. The war forced the soldiers to eat meat. The change in the combat environment forced Hancheng to do this because the Japanese army replaced some of its troops.
All first-class combat units are used to guard important communication lines and important locations. For the Eighth Route Army fighting behind enemy lines, combat intensity and professionalism are basically not the same.
"There is no other way to raise chickens. The Japanese soldiers are not tall now, but each one is stronger than us. Can we not eat better? Besides, raising chickens can also produce eggs, so let's leave it at that for now.
I have already sent people to hire specialized experts. We must now ensure that our first crop of mushrooms is planted as soon as possible. We will be able to eat mushrooms in 20 days."
Different mushrooms have different growth periods. The shortest is twenty or thirty days, and the longest is half a year. But they are all for improving food. There is no need to be so particular. Of course, the fastest growing ones are the main ones. It is better to eat mushrooms for a year than
Is it okay to eat pickles for a year?
"Do you need to report it to the group leader?"
"It's nothing to report to them. Every time they come and take away good things, it's okay now. The brigade commander specially gave the radio station and asked us to contact the brigade headquarters directly."
"Then let's report it to the brigade commander."
"Report it and see what the brigade commander says."
Han Cheng is not rich and powerful in the base area now, but at least, as long as he does not rebel, basically everyone has to be polite. If several regiment leaders want ammunition, they must first bargain with Han Cheng for the amount of ammunition.
Definitely not the amount they said!
I don’t know where these people read this. They think that if the mortar is ready, then the mountain cannon should be made. This is to make a weapon, not to play with mud. It can be pinched with your hands. If it weren’t for them, they are all warriors.
, Han Cheng could not wait to let them go to labor reform for a day to let him know how difficult it is to make it.
The most important issue in the base area has always been not the economic issue, but the production issue. Because of the war, it was impossible to obtain enough materials for development. Even if Hancheng is developed like this now, it still has to worry about raw materials and food every day.
