The food war has begun since then. First of all, the army must have a surplus of food. Don't panic if you have a surplus of food. The army's current surplus of food can only sustain one month's consumption. For the next month's food
, and also needed to purchase grain from the National Government. The monthly military salary of 600,000 yuan was still a relatively large amount in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, but in the middle and later stages of the war, the things that these 600,000 yuan could buy naturally became less and less.
If there is normal development, that 600,000 yuan is simply a drop in the bucket for an army. Maybe they can maintain the daily life of the army, but they have absolutely no way to purchase the weapons they want, let alone supply ammunition. This is tantamount to
It can be said that he has completely tied himself to Chairman Chiang. The power of life and death is given to Chairman Chiang. Chairman Chiang is naturally more assured of the troops with strong combat effectiveness. To be reassured is to say that he is letting go and does not care about things at all.
Brother, this is a war. When the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. How can you fight without giving out money or guns? This is a gun, not something that can be resisted by putting a few charms on it and drinking some water. No matter how good your kung fu is.
It's no match for a foreign gun.
"Food is our top priority. At the very least, we must ensure that the food harvested in the first quarter of next year can meet more than 50% of the needs of our troops. We must gradually meet the troops' demand for food, reduce or even completely isolate them.
The needs of the Kuomintang."
Hancheng doesn't mind setting bigger goals. Anyway, the development of the base area must be a long-term plan. At least within one or two years, the army's demand for external food will still be very huge. This is a huge problem for the past.
For the Kuomintang, which was involved in April 12, it is easy to go back on one's word, so while the relationship is still good now, we must be on guard at all costs.
"But now we can't even meet 30% because we don't have enough manpower. Farming is not difficult, but it requires staying in the fields for a long time. When should we water, when should we fertilize, these things are very important for us.
For people like us, it's not that difficult, we're just worried that the Japanese will come here often."
Many officials still find many reasons. They feel that this matter is not important in the first place, because now they can buy food, so why bother to engage in production. All this is just an excuse. The best place to use soldiers is on the battlefield.
, as for the land, let it be given to the farmers.
"The Japanese don't care about these things. Look how many Japanese dare to come to our area now? Even the regiment with the most fighting, each soldier is loaded with eighty rounds of ammunition. We
It is much richer than the Central Army."
As for the ammunition in the warehouse in their regiment, there was even more. The Japanese did not dare to go deep into the base area easily. The number of times the troops came into contact with battles was less, but the ammunition in the repair shop continued to be produced. This created a
As a result, there was no place to store the production materials, and it was even said that some army representatives had come to the base area for exchange.
These ammunition can actually be exchanged for their raw materials. Naturally, the more raw materials the better, and at the current level, no amount is too much.
"At the end of the year, I want to see that we can cultivate half as much farmland as we have now, and the food self-sufficiency rate must be increased."
There were still many old comrades present, and they were not too opposed to it, but they also felt that the result Han Cheng said was very reasonable. Being able to hunt for ten years, this is not a hatred that can be solved in a day or two anyway.
"I agree with Han Cheng. The self-sufficiency rate in food must be improved. Not only to deal with Chiang Kai-shek's future difficulties for us, but also to save a batch of military expenses to purchase other things."
Military expenses are very precious, and every penny should be spent wisely. The issue of food should not become a problem for the army. Many abandoned cave dwellings are used by Hancheng. What are these cave dwellings used for planting? They are all used for planting.
Mushrooms. Mushrooms can be considered a very good vegetable, except that they cannot be exposed to light.
Just relying on the wild vegetables growing in the wild is not enough to eat. Basically there is nothing edible except wild vegetables. Now we still need to consider some nutritional balance. The soldiers in the army are still too weak, even though they are taller than the Japanese.
Although he is tall, his strength is still not as great as that of the Japanese.
"Our mushroom production has been very good recently. Let Captain Dong tell us about it."
The production methods of mushrooms are actually not that important, because North Korea also grows mushrooms, and people eat them as the main course. But they are not as prosperous as they used to be. When the Soviet Union was here, life in North Korea was richer than in South Korea. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, North Korea
He lived a poorer life than anyone else, and when he was engaged in production, he grew mushrooms.
If you can eat well, it is already good. If you eat well, then this is a higher condition. It cannot be said that it is completely impossible. If you want to eat well, you have to work hard for a long time. Even after decades of
The development of food has taken decades from being full to eating well. At that time, when I was a child, I would be very happy just eating a steamed bun dipped in sesame sauce. Now I can eat it as a casual snack. Can it be compared?
"In addition to mushrooms, potatoes and sweet potatoes, we must work hard on all high-yield crops that can be grown. These grains must be further processed so that they can be stored for a long time."
Hancheng may need to think about how to operate specifically, and then combine it with the actual situation. In fact, many local farmers know how to prepare for disaster years, but that preparation is to make some of the leftovers.
The most important thing about an inconspicuous thing is that it can be stored.
But for Hancheng, vermicelli vermicelli can be stored, not to mention the residue left after processing can be eaten. Originally, this stuff was used to feed livestock, but when there is no food, it is a good thing!
A long-term plan basically looks like this. There will definitely be various problems during the implementation process. Therefore, during the implementation process, we should first implement it on the basis of the military. The most important point is that there will be less trouble. There is no such thing as
The landowners who are short-sighted dare to grab the land with guns. We have no time to pay attention to these people now.
"The plan is just such a plan, and the purpose is to enable our troops to get rid of their dependence on the Kuomintang for food as soon as possible."
At this time, no one objected to anyone who said they were friendly with the Kuomintang, but if they said they were unfriendly to the Kuomintang, many people began to be surprised. Many people knew that Hancheng was also good friends with the Kuomintang at the beginning, so why did they start talking about breaking away from the Kuomintang now?
