Chapter 152 Matter and Spirit

The Luochuan River flows continuously. The thick iron pipes lead directly to the bowl-shaped waterwheel. The high water pressure drives the gears of the waterwheel to rotate rapidly. Through several steering gears, it leads to a factory not far away, and drives various drilling machines, boring machines, Simple lathes such as milling machines, planer slotting machines, etc., rotate continuously day and night for twelve hours.

"Commander, look, this is our newly built gun barrel production workshop. The young men recruited from the side of the camp are learning and doing it, and that side is the production of gun stock accessories." Wei Jiahui pointed to the stretch of buildings and introduced.

With the wide application of cement, the People's Army has formed its own characteristics in terms of construction, which is a simple factory building with a frame structure made of wooden tendons and rattan tendons. The mode of production while construction has greatly improved the speed of production.

"Drilling the barrels needs to continue to be studied. At this stage, we are preparing to expand the army. We should first use the method of rolling the barrels to increase production." Liu Ze looked around and said, and his assistants followed behind him, holding a small book. Record anytime.

Wei Jiahui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The novices recruited at the camp have been training all the time, practice makes perfect, and the speed is also accelerating. We have recently put the waterwheel and water hammer into use, which also saves a lot of labor, but this production The speed is still not as good as it should be.”

Every day, Wei Jiahui was urged to eat and live in the industrial park, focusing on production and construction.

"How many rifles can be produced every day now? Artillery?"

"Using the assembly line method, the output of rifles is [-] per day, and the artillery has been manufactured using the old method. This batch of good products is eight, but the scrap rate is too high, but this is slowly on the right track. It should be better in the future. One batch, but the main reason is that the raw materials are not enough." Wei Jiahui said that his voice became smaller and smaller, and now the raw materials in various factories are not enough, it is really hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Liu Ze looked at the workers in the workshop and asked, "How many people are there in the gun factory now?"

"310 people."

"On the cold weapon side, we can use molds to make some mass products. We can mobilize our concentrated blacksmiths to do what they can, and the armor will be useless. We don't have the resources to make it, so let's focus on capturing it." Take a long gun, wipe the oil on the tip of the gun, Liu Ze said.

"This is a bullet factory, where women and children are working. It's too late and everyone is off work." Because the bullets have a lot of black powder, they only work during the day and stop at night. Sun Mo followed behind and quickly explained Hei Ruye's workshop.

The "clicking" punch was driven by gears, and Liu Ze walked nearby to pick up an iron sheet. The iron sheet was in a circular structure with printed patterns on it. "The medal is ready?"

"It was trial-produced at night, and the effect is very good."

"When will we be able to do it all?" Because the number of battles has decreased recently, Liu Ze wanted to take advantage of this free time to hold an award ceremony, to award the soldiers who fought bravely during this period of time as a reward. The meaning of honor, more material rewards.

For example, ordinary soldiers who fought bravely and won battles in important battles can receive the Medal of Honor, and if they are killed or injured in the future, they can receive 5% more material rewards.

If you fight bravely in battle and kill the enemy, you can get the Medal of Bravery. In addition to enjoying the same rewards as the Medal of Honor, you can also get additional cash rewards and priority for future promotions.

In addition, those who have performed major meritorious service or played a role in turning the tide of the war can receive first-class, second-class, and third-class merit medals. These are not only the rewards of the heroic medal, but also the honor of wearing a big red flower tour after the war. , The material rewards are also more generous, and they can even be personally awarded by the head of the battalion level or above.

Because of the current shortage of resources, all the medals are stamped from iron sheets, and the appearance is different.

The morning of the second day was sunny, and the formal award ceremony began. Basically, the soldiers who attacked Baihuling a few days ago were the soldiers who had the chance to get the rewards, because there was only one bloody battle during this period.

Although there were many other wars, they basically cost nothing, and there was not much bloodshed.

In the school grounds at the foot of the bastion, most of Luochuan County's armed forces are concentrated. Except for the guards from all over the country who can't come, the rest are basically here. It is the people's army flag, and the other side is pure black with a five-pointed star, which is the people's meeting flag. Rows of soldiers in gray civilian clothes and heavily armed soldiers stand like a forest, and they are staring at the podium with serious expressions.

"Now the comrades who have newly joined the People's Association collectively take an oath." Liu Ze presided over the membership ceremony at the front with his back to the People's Association banner. Most of the nearly 1000 comrades who met the progress requirements of the People's Association after review were all It was ordinary soldiers, and non-commissioned officers and officers were also standing among them. The solemn initiation ceremony made the phalanx of more than [-] people below look jealous for a while.

"I swear that I will always maintain the true nature of an ordinary worker, get along with the working people on an equal footing, share joys and sorrows, sincerely seek the interests of the working people, and never allow the behavior of being separated from the working people to engage in privileges and self-interest, let alone stand on the side of the working people. Domineering over the head. Always adhere to the principle that the interests of the people and the people's association are above all else, and obey the interests of the people and the people's association with personal interests..."

Liu Ze and a group of referees put the community badges in their respective wooden trays on the necks of new members. Because the pin technology is immature, the current badges can only be worn with ropes like necklaces. As a symbol of each member.

After the initiation ceremony, the soldiers who died in battle at Baihuling were the first to be awarded honors. Most of them were red-haired barbarians, and they were received by the non-commissioned officers of each platoon. If the entire platoon was killed in battle, the company instructor would receive it on their behalf. , and then push up.

"Their sacrifices are worthy of the ideals and beliefs of our People's Army, and they will be immortal, salute!"

It was supposed to be an atmosphere of grief, but on the contrary, all the red-haired barbarians were whispering about the scene of the war dead going to heaven. The more they talked, the more excited they became, causing other soldiers in the venue to join in. discussed.

Seeing the increasingly lively atmosphere, Liu Ze could only proceed to the next step, awarding honors to those who made meritorious deeds.

For future opponents, whether it is the Ming army, the Houjin army, or the Europeans, Liu Ze hopes that the army will maintain the difference in weapons and at the same time have the spirit of bayonet fighting. Even if there is no ammunition, it can rely on the triangular bayonet The fearless spirit of sacrifice won the battle. Perhaps the majority of the troops still fight for reasons of religious superstition. Liu Ze hopes to turn this army into a real modern army in the future.

A long way to go.
