Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 200 Wu Tianming's Tears
"There is also a Corps special meal, do you know what it is?"

Ye Yuze really didn't know that Wu Tianming played tricks.He has always had a mother, and he has never eaten anything from those rough old men.

Wu Tianming smiled.

"It's just soaked noodles! Soak the noodles in a thermos, add some suet and salt when they're soft, and eat like that!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Tianming couldn't help but licked his lips, as if the food was a rare delicacy.

Ye Yuze felt a chill in his heart, he probably wouldn't be able to eat that thing even if it killed him.

But he didn't know that his father had a meal with Dr. Li last year.

Wu Tianming took out a bottle of Moutai from the kitchen.

"Come on, let's be extravagant today. You have two drinks with uncle."

After finishing speaking, Wu Tianming got Ye Yuze a glass of wine, and he got a glass and drank it first, and then got another glass.

Ye Yuze knew that Wu Tianming liked wine.But looking at him like this, it seems that he hasn't drunk for a long time.

"Old Wu, you even have Moutai, why do you still look like you haven't drunk wine?"

Wu Tianming sighed. "A lot of waste is waiting to be done, where is the time to drink!"

Ye Yuze hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old Wu, I don't think the brand over there is right? What's going on?"

Wu Tianming patted him on the shoulder.I told him not to talk when I went back, and then I explained the matter in detail.

It turns out that the name Corps ceased to exist as early as 1973, and its current name is the General Bureau of Land Reclamation of Northern Xinjiang.

There are many historical and political reasons for this to happen.

But most of the grassroots units of the Corps didn't know about this, including Ye Yuze's father and the others.

This is not to deceive them, but based on many considerations.

After all, most of the Corps soldiers are of military origin.Although they have changed jobs, their identities are still in the military, including their children who were born in the military.

If once the soldiers know that they have been removed from the title of soldier, what will be the consequence?No one really dares to think about it.

People in that era were different from later generations, they would not use material things as values.

The reason why the Corps has reached its current scale is because of an order from above, and the soldiers worked hard with their sweat and lives!
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a lot of waste was waiting for prosperity, and Chiang Kai-shek brought all the country's gold reserves to Taiwan.The mainland is miserable, and there is no financial resources to support the Corps.

"But do you know what happened in northern Xinjiang at that time?"

Having said that, Wu Tianming suddenly asked Ye Yuze.

Ye Yuze shook his head, there was no him at that time.How could he know?
Wu Tianming wiped his tears again.

"The total output value of industry and agriculture in Xinjiang is only 7.2 million yuan, of which industrial output value only accounts for 0.5%.

The vast rural areas are extremely poor. On average, poor farmers only have one soil trowel and one sickle per household, and one soil plow for every six households.

The per capita possession of grain in Xinjiang is 195.7 kilograms, and farmers of all ethnic groups have little grain left except for land rent, rations and seeds.

How can it be possible to have money to support the construction of northern Xinjiang in such a situation?It's hard enough to be alive. "

Ye Yuze was moved.He has never been to northern Xinjiang, and he has seen farmland everywhere, not to mention not being able to eat enough, even coarse grains.And I don't like to eat without meat.

How could he have imagined that northern Xinjiang would be like this when the seniors entered Xinjiang?
"I will always remember the general's speech at that convention."

Having said this, Wu Tianming's eye sockets began to moisten.

Ye Yuze seemed to have come to that era following Wu Tianming's narration.

Grandpa Wang was standing on a temporary platform, under which were countless young but fully patched Corps tactics.

The old man asked the soldiers loudly: "We want to build northern Xinjiang, what should we do if we have no money to set up factories and farms? Do you want it from ***?"

The soldiers shouted in unison:
"Do not!"

"Do you want it from the people of northern Xinjiang?"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "No!"

"Where did that money come from?"

The soldiers were all dumbfounded and looked at each other in blank dismay.They can sweat, they can bleed!But they really have no money!

Grandpa Wang looked firm, waved his hands and continued to shout:
"There is only one way, and that is from ourselves!
Doesn't the country pay us back?Then let's save this money to build northern Xinjiang.

We are all poor, and we are used to living a poor life. Is it okay to change from one set of military uniforms a year to two years?
We don't have any money, and the military uniform needs so many pockets, so why not change two pockets?
There is no need to talk about military demeanor when opening up wasteland and farming land on the Gobi Desert, can you take off your collar?"

An army of 10 shouted at the tsunami: "Agreed!"

Wu Tianming's tears flowed down, and Ye Yuze cried too.

Wu Tianming rubbed his eyes and continued:
"Since then, the double collars of soldiers in the Corps have been changed to single collars, in order to save the outer section.

In order to save cloth, the four pockets of the cadre's clothes are changed to two upper pockets.

The two sets of unlined clothes issued each year were changed to one set, and the annual set of cotton clothes was changed to one set every two years.

Every day, half a catty of grain, 9 cents and 6 cents of vegetable gold are taken out of the mouths of cadres and soldiers. If you can eat corn bread with corn noodles, it is a good life.

"In this way, after several years of hard work, our Corps not only did not ask for a penny from the country, but also began to support the country with a large amount of food.

We have a lot of land, and not a single inch of that land was obtained from the local people. We dug canals and diverted water ourselves, turning the wasteland into fertile land!

We not only have land, but also our own cities, mines, and factories!
But you asked me to tell the soldiers that they are not soldiers anymore.I can't say that! "

Wu Tianming burst into tears when he said this.

"Anyway, many people have realized this mistake now. They sent people to report to the higher authorities. The old man is also running around, and there are already some clues."

Ye Yuze also cried, letting tears flow wantonly on his face.

He has not passed through that era, and all he knows are ordinary-looking people who even have many problems with them.

He didn't expect that these people had exchanged everything they had for the prosperity of northern Xinjiang today.They all have a common identity.

That's "Corps Soldiers!"

It is this identity that allows them to do all this.

Ye Yuze didn't understand why such a unit was abolished?Perhaps there are also their considerations above?
But Ye Yuze felt that if he switched identities with Wu Tianming, he wouldn't be able to say anything about it.

It's not that I dare not say it, but I can't bear to say it!He didn't dare to look into those helpless eyes.

A meal of wine lasted until late at night, and both of them drank too much.

Wu Tianming seemed to have been suppressed for a long time and finally let it out, and he seemed to be completely relaxed.Slept peacefully.

Neither of them went to bed, but slept on one side of the sofa.

At any rate, Wu Tianming also had an attendant who helped them cover the quilts.

The sky in the provincial capital is not as clear as that of the regiment headquarters, but it has a modern atmosphere.Human progress always needs to lose something.

Ask for collections, recommendations, monthly passes and investments.
