Chapter 152

"After the official establishment of the army and navy, not only the demand for weapons has surged, but also the issue of training and ammunition storage." Ma Qianzhu said, "I have two opinions here."

The industrial sector should establish an ammunition supply system as soon as possible to provide training for the new army and coastal forts.

The supply of black fire yao can be said to be sufficient, the stock is as much as 2.5 tons, and the power has been greatly improved after granulation treatment.It is enough for training and combat, but the shells and Mini shells are zero in stock and need to be produced quickly.

In the manufacture of weapons, it is better to use one or two types, and don't be greedy for too many.If there is not enough steel due to lack of coke, at this stage concentrate on making cast iron cannons.The trade department will try its best to solve the coal supply problem.

Try to manufacture prime movers as soon as possible, including steam engines and small diesel engines.To provide sufficient power machinery for the navy to build and transform ships.

"Navy ships," Chen Haiyang reminded, "now there are only two sailing ships, but there are too many tasks to undertake. The navy needs to expand its ships."

In order to achieve the fishing, security and transportation tasks at this stage, the navy needs at least 8 to 10 sailing ships, and the displacement should not be less than 50 tons, preferably more than 100 tons.At this stage, the industry's demand for sea transportation is increasing, and ships with too small tonnage are not suitable.

Travelers have discovered a large-scale shipbuilding workshop in Lingao.The largest fishing boat here is commonly known as "Lingao Towwind", with a displacement of more than 70 tons.It is no problem to use it for fishing and transporting goods, but the traversers still think that the boat is a little small and the speed is not fast enough.

If you want to build your own ship, the industrial sector and the navy can propose a lot of ship types, even those who can draw the line diagram and structure diagram of the Glorious Ironclad Ship.But no one has actual experience in shipbuilding. The most experienced are Mr. Wen and Wang Luobin. They are veteran ship model enthusiasts and have built countless model ships.He is the person who has the deepest understanding of wooden structure shipbuilding.

Chen Haiyang suggested that local shipbuilding resources in Lingao could be utilized.According to the report of the long-distance reconnaissance team, there are several shipbuilding workshops in Lingaobaitu Port, which can not only build ordinary fishing boats, but also large boats with [-] materials. The [-]-material boats have been legally manufactured by the Ming government. Biggest ship.

Baitu Port not only has shipbuilders, but also has accumulated a large amount of timber for shipbuilding. Some of them have been stored for three or four years, and the dryness is suitable, so travelers can easily use them.

"I suggest that we occupy Baitu Port, and move all the shipbuilders and shipbuilding materials there to Bopu." The traverser is responsible for the design, and at the same time teaches modern shipbuilding techniques. I believe that these shipbuilders will soon be transformed into modern ships. Shipwrights.

"Agreed!" Zhang Bolin immediately agreed, he was especially enthusiastic about the war.

"I am also in favor of seizing Baitu Port, which will put Lingao's shipbuilding industry under complete control, and Lingao fishermen and coastal cargo shippers will have to completely obey our orders." Ma Qianju also expressed his support.

The motion to occupy Baitu was thus passed.This operation is going to start immediately after the Army Teaching Battalion becomes an army.

"The last thing is the recruitment and training of the navy," Li Haiping of the navy said. "Just now, Commissioner Ma said that the recruitment and training of the navy is temporarily in charge of the army. I disagree with that. We are the navy, not the army and navy. Arms have their particularities, and it is difficult for the army to truly understand the needs of the navy—”

The young men of the army, represented by Wei Aiwen and Zhang Bolin, looked very unhappy immediately: these words obviously meant to treat the army as a bumpkin.

"Let me explain." Ma Qianju hurriedly said, "The so-called army is in charge of the recruiting stage - the army has a training camp. After leaving the army, the navy itself is responsible for training. As for the recruitment of soldiers, it will be directly under the Military Commission in the future. Can manage, has nothing to do with the army and navy.”

"Chief." Another commune member timidly walked into Wu De's Bairen Commune office.

"What's the matter?" Wu De was stunned, wouldn't he have to be a soldier again to issue a certificate?

"Little man, little man, I want to open a document." The visitor seemed very afraid of talking to such a big chief.

"Are you going to join the army?"

"Yep--"

Wu De sighed, today, there are already no less than twenty people who came to the Ministry of Social Affairs to apply for the job.In addition to the people who were recently recruited by the machinery factory and various systems, his male labor force has been reduced by fifty. If this continues, the commune will become a village of women.

This soldier's treatment should be too good.Wu De thought, the settling fee is 200 kilograms of rice, each person pays one tael per month, and all food and clothing are covered. No wonder this group of commune members are going to serve in the army.

"Chu Yu, give him a certificate." Wu De said weakly.No matter how you say it, you have to obey the overall situation.Arms expansion and preparations for war are the main theme right now.

"Yes, master." Chu Yu has now unofficially become the secretary of the commune.After going through the political review and probation stage, according to his own insistence, he was assigned to Wu De.After arriving at the commune, she took care of Wu De's daily life without hesitation.He thought the food in the cafeteria was not good, so he started a fire by himself, and helped him cook and wash clothes every day.He also repeatedly hinted that he could do more for him.Wu De did not expect that in the 21st century, he was a middle-aged man, but in this time and space, there are young girls who love him.No wonder there are so many otaku mixed in the team.

In fact, Chu Yu does not know how to read, and after joining the time traveler, he also went to literacy night school, and now he is only at the semi-literate level. chapter secretary.

His cell phone rang suddenly, it was Li Haiping calling:

"Old Wu, the recruiting situation of our navy is not very good recently. The army keeps the best physical fitness. Can you think of a way for us? Are you also a navy veteran—"

"Okay, if someone comes to apply, I will publicize it."

"Thank you for your help! When you write a letter of introduction, you must indicate that you are reporting to the Navy."

If all conscription is from the commune, the labor force will be severely weakened. Xi Yazhou, who is in charge of conscription affairs, has set up a recruitment point in the bustling Dongmen City.

The name of the recruitment is naturally not the name of the crossing army, but the more pleasant "Hundred Ren Militia".The county is completely pretending to be deaf and dumb. One of the traditional Chinese officialdom techniques is that you must bury your head deeply when you should be an ostrich-it is better not to know than to know and not deal with it.The traversers were not worried about what the almost naked Lingao County Government would do to them.

"Grandma, isn't this treatment too high?" Dongmen Chuiyu was in charge of maintaining the recruiting order at the scene in Dongmen City.Looking at the large notice of the recruitment of Xiangyong just hung on the screen wall: each soldier has two gongshi (200 kilograms) of food and lodging (monthly ration 20 kilograms), and one tael of silver per month.

But Xi Yazhou said that this salary is not high.During the reign of Tianqi, the military pay of the towns in Liaodong was two taels per month, and the monthly salary of newly recruited soldiers in the mid-Chongzhen period rose to three taels.If it weren't for the fact that the Ming army had been cheating from top to bottom, the soldiers would basically not be able to get it, and the traversers would not be able to recruit people within two to two months.

Zhang Bolin is recruiting locals to serve as soldiers under the screen wall, and he now has a little understanding of Lingao dialect.

"Brother, come to us to be a villager. You will be paid one tael a month, and the officers and soldiers don't even have this kind of salary. We also cover food and clothing."

"If you don't serve as a soldier, you will lose your head."

"Don't leave, we have enough food every day here, and we still have money to take, think about it?"

"I still have a wife and children at home, please let me go, Chief."

"The wife and children are ready, we are responsible for the food for the family."

……

According to the conscription plan formulated by the Military Commission, the Army recruited 400 soldiers and 100 trainees.The navy recruits 100 soldiers and 100 apprentices.Soldiers are 17 to 25 years old, and students are 13 to 16 years old.Soldiers are trained as the technical backbone of the future army. In addition to participating in military training, they will also receive a series of specialized skills training.

But when recruiting, I found that most of the applicants didn't know their age at all, and could only give an approximate year.A few people don't even know that there has been an Apocalypse Year.I thought it was now the world of "Emperor Wanli".From the outside, they are all dark and thin, and it is difficult to correctly judge how big they are. Although the health team later set up a procedure to check the teeth, it is just a general idea.The planned juvenile apprentices only recruited a dozen or so in the end.

The local people in Lingao are not very enthusiastic. They are either small farmers or tenants with some property.On the contrary, poor people like "Fu Lao" who came to Hainan to reclaim wasteland as long-term laborers from other places applied for more. These people are basically bachelors and have no worries.

There are also some who are over-aged at first glance, and who have no food or clothing, come to join the army.In the end, they all accepted it, and when they are older, they can be used as logistics. Now the traversers are in the stage of rushing to increase their population.Someone can do anything.

However, such soldiers are generally thin and thin, and their health has been damaged by long-term malnutrition and hard work. Although they are hard-working, they are beyond their physical condition in the weightlifting test.

"People are a little short and not strong enough." Wei Aiwen was a little disappointed, these small natives obviously did not meet his aesthetic taste for military appearance.The people from the commune applied because they had good food, good physical condition, and seemed to be top-notch. Wei Aiwen unceremoniously filled out the army registration form.

"If you are short, you are short, you have great strength, you can endure hardships and stand hard work." Xi Yaya is not so particular.But the height standard has dropped to 155cm, which is really low enough.And most of them looked skinny, whether 20 kilograms of rations would be enough for them... Xi Yazhou kept muttering in his heart.

After the Navy discovered that the Army was withholding personnel from enlistees, it requested another recruiting site be opened at Bobo.Advertise the benefits of joining the Navy to fishermen who come to fish.Fishermen are obviously more adventurous than farmers. Coupled with the reputation of the navy's large iron ships and "fast boats", the navy easily recruited more than 100 fishermen.Some people actually came from neighboring counties to defect.At first, Chen Haiyang was grinning from ear to ear, but later he realized that it wasn't that the navy was more attractive, but that for well-informed fishermen, going to a certain sea group and being a pirate for a few months was already part of their livelihood. .If you do well, you'll stay there forever - defecting to the "Australian Kun Bandit" is no different from defecting to the Zheng family.Chen Haiyang looked at this group of newly recruited recruits who were half fisherman and half gangsters—he really needed to pay more attention to his political work in the future.
