Heavy Industry Empire

Liu Tianling was also looking at Feng Yuxiang, with a fat face, smiling but standing straight.Beside him was a brigade commander in his 30s, who was Tong Linge, who was not so friendly, Liu Tianling faintly felt a little bit of displeasure in him.

"Hello, Commander Feng." Liu Tianling quickly walked over to greet Feng Yuxiang.

"Head Liu is being polite, hehe, I didn't expect Head Liu to be so young and promising." Feng Yuxiang said.

"It's good to be young. If you don't dare to be promising, you just take your brothers to eat. This Tong Linge, Brigadier Tong."

Tong Linge smiled and said, "It's right here."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Tianling went straight to the topic.

"Commander Feng and Brigadier Tong, I have prepared a small gift for the first meeting." Liu Tianling said, leading Feng Yuxiang and Tong Linge to the truck.

Tong Linge was very envious. Looking at the brand-new military trucks, the tires with large patterns obviously liked them very much, but Liu Tianling didn't want to send the trucks out yet.

"These ten trucks are [-] catties of cornmeal, all of which are crushed with an electric flour mill and are very fine."

Feng Yuxiang tore open a bag of cornmeal and twisted it with his hands: "Okay, it's really smooth, and it can be used as a meal for the sick and injured."

"Guess what's in these cars?" Liu Tianling said.

Tong Linge sniffed: "It's still guesswork, fish."

No, it tastes very strong.

"The [-] catties of salted fish are all produced by fishermen near Rizhao. I can't guarantee that they are all fresh, but they are definitely the same as what our troops eat. They use a lot of salt, so they can be eaten as salt."

Tong Linge said: "Regimental Commander Liu is really bold, does your army often eat fish?"

"I definitely eat fish a lot, but I still eat meat and eggs every day. I can't eat too much salted fish."

Feng Yuxiang said: "We can't compete with Liu Tuanchang's soldiers for food, they have meat every day."

"Hehe, we are also thinking about the soldiers. We work so hard every day, and we can only ensure good nutrition. There are [-] catties of kelp in the car over there. Kelp is also a treasure. It contains high iodine, and regular consumption is good for the body. "

Jia Cai next to him said, "How about it, Commander Feng and Brigadier Tong we sent you, do you like them?"

"Very good. We are used to living in poverty, and suddenly there are so many good things that we don't know how to arrange them." Feng Yuxiang said.

"Haha, then we'll leave it all to us." Tong Linge said.

Liu Tianling pointed to the last few cars, and said to Tie Han: "Get some guys down."

Feng Yuxiang looked at it in surprise, thinking that the machine guns and cannons Liu Tianling had given him, but what Tiehan took down was an engineering shovel, a short-handled shovel, and a pickaxe.

"This is a shovel and a pickaxe. They are used for repairs." Tong Linge is an expert, and he did not miss the repairs. He took the shovel and tapped it, and handed it to Feng Yuxiang. .”

Feng Yuxiang knocked and put it on his ear to listen.

"It's made of Masteel, the same material as the barrel of a machine gun," Jia Cai said.

Feng Yuxiang sighed loudly: "It's too wasteful, too wasteful. How can such a good steel material be used to make a shovel? At least it should be made into a bayonet."

"The repair of fortifications is also very important. Only when the fortifications are well repaired can casualties be minimized. What's more, Commander Feng can plant trees better with shovels and pickaxes." Liu Tianling said.

"Haha, Commander Liu still understands me. Brigadier Tong, you can make an exception today, buy a few pigs from people's homes, and serve wine to welcome Commander Liu." Feng Yuxiang was overjoyed. This batch of good tools is [-] pieces.

"No need, we have some meat waiting, Brigadier Tong can just arrange someone to cook."

Tong Linge was in a good mood. With so many supplies at once, their brigade would definitely get the most out of the water, and immediately arranged for someone to receive the supplies.Liu Tianling and Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but walked towards the brigade headquarters of the barracks, chatting while walking.

Feng Yuxiang kept sighing: "My hobby of planting trees started in the Northwest. You have never been there. There was windy wind and sand everywhere, and yellow sand was everywhere. The life of ordinary people is also difficult. They live by grazing and planting some buckwheat. Let’s take it easy. Later, when I went to Beiping and Henan, I found that trees should be planted here. If people don’t pay attention to protecting the environment, it might become the same as the Northwest in a few decades or hundreds of years, and the scene would be terrible. .”

"Hehe, our group leader is also vigorously planting trees in southern Shandong. Ten million saplings have been planted this year alone. Next year, there will be tens of millions of trees in river bank shelterbelts and road shelterbelts," Jia Cai said.

"Is what Staff Officer Jia said true?" Feng Yuxiang's mouth almost dropped in surprise, "How did you do it? Why has it not been effective for me to mobilize soldiers to mobilize the people to plant trees for so many years?"

Liu Tianling said: "In the presence of Commander Feng, I'm going to fight with the axe. To put it simply. Planting trees, first of all, rely on the army and the government to set an example. For example, road guard trees on both sides of the road, dam protection trees on river embankments, These should be planted by the army or the government. After all, these trees cannot be cut down at will. Second, the trees in the barren land. In southern Shandong, the barren land in each village is equally distributed to each household. Ten acres of barren beach. The soil quality in this place is extremely poor, and even the seeds cannot be harvested when planting grain. We already have wood for our homes. If we don’t use it, we can sell it to others. Because planting trees is easy to manage, the people are willing to accept them. Third, the trees in front of and behind the houses in rural areas are easy to be damaged by wind because they are tall trees. The characteristics of blowing down and smashing houses, we promote grapes, pomegranates, jujubes and other trees in rural areas. Planting them in front of and behind houses will not only satisfy children's hunger, but also a link in increasing income. For example, grapes, we There are wineries built there, and a large number of grapes are purchased in summer. The fourth is the problem of planting trees on barren hills. Barren hills are not as watery as river beaches, and the wind is strong. There is a lot of attention to the selection of tree species. Generally, squirrel and cypress trees are selected for high places, which are highly adaptable. tree species. As for the mountainside and the foot of the mountain, there is a lot of choice, and measures should be taken according to local conditions, such as jujube, pear, hawthorn, persimmon, etc. will do.”

"What, can fruit trees be planted on barren hills to bear fruit? Of course, the enthusiasm of the people can be mobilized by planting fruit trees, but won't it hurt the feelings of the people if they don't bear fruit?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

Liu Tianling smiled and said: "Commander Feng still thinks far-reaching. If you plant fruit trees on barren hills, it's no problem if they are small fruit trees like jujube and hawthorn. As long as the year is not too bad, they are similar to those in the field. But pear trees, Trees like persimmon trees are not enough. Therefore, farmers plant jujube trees on the barren hills of their own houses with medicinal materials such as honeysuckle on the ground to increase income. However, some fruit trees, such as pear trees, are also planted on those barren hills where no one’s family belongs. , such as persimmon trees. These fruit trees will bear fruit, but the quantity is very small, and few people come because of the remote location.”

"Wouldn't it be a waste? No one will pick the fruit when it's ripe." Feng Yuxiang said.

Liu Tianling nodded: "It looks like this on the surface, but it's not true. Many remote mountains are barren and inhabited, and Lunan implements a restrained hunting policy. Unscrupulous hunting is strictly prohibited, so there will be more wild animals in the mountains and forests, wild boars, squirrels, Pheasants, even wolves, etc. With these fruit trees, more wild animals can be fed, and wild animals and trees are interdependent, and only in this way can a complete ecological chain be formed."

Feng Yuxiang shook his head: "I don't understand this theory. But I understand your reasoning. The fruit trees planted in the deep mountains and old forests are not for people to pick, but for wild beasts. Commander Liu's foresight is admirable, but how to solve it As for the common people burning firewood, the common people often cut down trees.”

"The problem is difficult to solve, but it is not impossible. First of all, publicize and let the people understand that planting trees is to improve the living environment of themselves and future generations, not for the self-interest of any warlord. Secondly, the poplars and willows planted on the riverbank often The branches can be cut down, the leaves are fed to livestock, and the branches are used as firewood. In the end, as long as there are more plants than felled.”

Feng Yuxiang understood that in the final analysis, it is still necessary to measure up. If [-] trees are planted a year and [-] trees are cut down, then there are still [-] trees left.

"Next spring, I will mobilize the people to plant a large number of poplars and willows on both sides of the river."

"Okay, when Commander Feng asks for anything, as long as it is needed for planting trees, I will definitely provide it." Liu Tianling said.

While speaking, he had already arrived at Tong Linge's brigade headquarters. It was obviously remodeled from the yard of a big family. If it weren't for the watchtower sandbag bunker at the door, it would be impossible to tell that this is an important military site.The conditions of Feng Yuxiang's soldiers are mostly very difficult, and it is common to have patches on the uniforms. Feng Yuxiang's most strict army is Tong Linge, who has the demeanor of Yue Fei back then.At this time, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army was not as good as it used to be. Ma Bufang and others kept the Northwest and other places to stand on their own. Although Feng Yuxiang still had nearly [-] soldiers in his hands, there were fewer elite soldiers, most of them were newly recruited soldiers, and their armaments were not complete. Rifles are not guaranteed.

In the living room, everyone sat for a while, and Liu Tianling and Feng Yuxiang talked secretly for more than half an hour. People who didn't know thought they were talking about something, but in fact Liu Tianling was talking about cutting seedlings of trees.After a while, everyone felt bored. They were all soldiers sitting and chatting, which was obviously boring. Tong Linge came in and said, "The wine and food are being prepared. I think it's better for everyone to go to the training ground to have fun, so as not to be bored sitting here."

Feng Yuxiang went to handle some military affairs, and Tong Linge took Liu Tianling, Tiehan Chai Fei and others straight to the training ground.

Tong Linge ran the army strictly, and those thin soldiers who looked like bean sprouts had murderous looks in their eyes.

"Brigade Commander Tong trains soldiers like a god, why not find a few with good skills, let's compare how we do." Liu Tianling suggested.

Tong Linge laughed loudly: "I will stick to my wish, but I dare not ask you."

Which soldier is not competitive? Tong Linge looked at Liu Tianling's soldiers in strict military uniforms, and his heart was itching for a long time. He wanted to kill Liu Tianling's vigor. With an order, more than ten people came quickly, obviously all of them were real soldiers in the army. Elite soldiers.
