Chapter 437: Food

There is a new joke in the Oriental Military Mansion about Chen Mu's stress reaction.

In the eyes of almost everyone, Chen Mu seemed to suddenly have an emotion, and gave instructions to the guerrilla general Lin Xiao to expand the scale of the war.

Perhaps he did not explicitly ask Lautaro to expand the scale of the war, but Lautaro's troops, which had been using hundreds of worn-out Spanish muskets in the past, suddenly received the support of 1,200 arquebuses of the Ming army, as well as a sufficient amount of gunpowder, so it is conceivable that Lautaro's troops will inevitably rise up more initiative to invade.

"The Third War in the West of the Minxi? No, no, I don't have that idea. ”

Several officers rushed over when they heard the news, although Chen Mu resolutely denied that he was preparing to start a war, his cronies Shi Qi and Fu Yuan, the chief military officers, looked at him with suspicion in their eyes, so they heard him say: "You should train according to this year's drill code, and don't disturb the morale of the army because of rumors." ”

Not to mention the military training drill, it's okay, as soon as this is mentioned, the second general is even more suspicious that Chen Mu wants to fight.

Since the landing of the Oriental Military Government in Asia, except for the beginning of the war with Spain for half a year, the flag army circle has nothing to do in the camp in peacetime, except for training, which is training, but after all, the training is to maintain the physical fitness and combat skills of the flag army, and even eat, drink and have fun on the training syllabus.

Not to mention eating and drinking, there is a special nutrition section on the training syllabus of the Great Eastern Guard, which stipulates what the flag army should eat and drink at what time and under what circumstances, and what it cannot eat or drink at what time and under what circumstances.

This discipline was initially formed in the Beiyang Military Government, at that time, it was only the medical academy to track the changes in the training of the flag army, limited by the lack of a chemical system far ahead of the times, and the training initiative of the Beiyang flag army was too large, the result was not standard, basically useless empirical learning.

You want to record the changes in physical fitness of people with the same weight, stature, and training level while eating the same military rations, but Jia secretly trains every day, and plays with stone locks when he goes back to the barracks to rest; B is always lazy in training, getting up in the middle of the night to pee and stuffing hard-boiled eggs in his stomach, so how much is the difference in individual indicators in the past six months?

It was not until the second year of the Dongyang Military Government stationed in Changsheng that the emperor sent immigrants, under the leadership of Zhao Shizhen, Zou Yuanbiao, and Chen Shigong, represented by the Dongyang Military Government, the Changsheng County Ya, and the Dongyang Military Hospital, that they began to conduct training and diet tracking for two years on the 120 local armor guards who were voluntarily selected.

Like cultivating robots, even if the Toyo Military Government gives a fixed Tongbao as a commission every month, many people still can't stand it and quit halfway, and in the end, only thirty-two people are left to hold on to the end.

Even if there are only thirty-two experimental models, coupled with Chen Mu's impression of the choice of military rations with high protein intake, it still gives the military hospital a relatively complete nutritional outline.

How do you say that? When you need to make a choice, cheap things are likely to be disadvantages except cheap, and expensive things are likely to have no disadvantages other than expensive.

Of course, if you choose an expensive one in training, you may also be scolded.

At least in the eyes of the officers of the Oriental Military Government who have experience in the border army, the guards, and the battalions, the Oriental marshals are all supported by money.

A small flag department, three meats, three vegetables, and one soup with two eggs in hand, each meal is not the same, which is just an ordinary military ration for the flag army stationed in the Oriental Military Government, but for their troops in the past, this is a good thing that may not be able to eat even during the New Year.

The food cost of the flag army is higher than the army's salary, who can afford it?

The reason for the emergence of the nutrition department is that Zhao and Zou want to save military expenses for the Oriental Military Government, and minimize the unnecessary cost of food for the flag army on the basis of meeting Chen Mu's training requirements.

Because they knew that what Chen Mu wanted to do was always to change the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, but the 22,400 banner troops of the Oriental Military Government were worth 800,000 taels a year

But Chen Shuai said that this is good, and it is also good for the flag army to have good physical fitness, good physical shape and appearance, and cultivate a sense of honor for the troops...... It's not good for physical fitness, the better you eat, the more ruthless you practice; It's not good for the body, the age of the Oriental Flag Army is not very old, and the Royal Forest Army Station brought by Chen Ju can be seen clearly by looking at it, they are generally half a head taller than others, one circle stronger, and two circles stronger than Jinyi Wei.

can not cultivate the sense of honor of the army, the self-deprecation of the Oriental Flag Army is to serve in the army for five years, and eat a set of three courtyards with two facades in his hometown.

Chen Dashuai has been breaking through other people's imagination of the upper limit of military food, originally he ate well enough in the Nanyang Guard Banner Army, thinking of going to Burma to fight, the environment and living conditions must have come down, and as a result, he could still eat meat every day there; I thought that Myanmar Nanyang was close to the sea after all, and Beiyang should be a little worse, but Beiyang still basically maintained this food standard, and it was better to cook because of the recruitment of new chefs.

Thinking that it shouldn't be possible to go to the barren land of the Great East, who knows that it will be only in the first few months, and when Changsheng is developed, countless birds and beasts and beans here are blessed, and there is no grievance in eating this aspect.

Even the canned food was included in the training syllabus, and the clay pots eaten on the battlefield were buried outside the camp and in front of the trenches, tripping and breaking the enemy's legs, which was extremely damaging...... Looking down at the enemy underground, they can't rush to the trench alive, and those who don't look at the road are the most nervous in front of the trench, and it is impossible to see the road.

In order to preserve the training status of the Flag Army in peacetime, the War Bureau of the Oriental Military Government racked its brains to train regularly for two months and train for one month, and the cycle was repeated throughout the year.

However, this year, the training syllabus received by Fu Yuan, Shi Qi and other generals changed the training method to six days of regular training and three days of extraordinary training...... This in the eyes of the officers was almost equivalent to the preparation before the start of the war.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Oriental military government has no action, but in the eyes of these generals, it is too obvious.

The fire oil guns and iron oil back boxes were sent to the general flag department to participate in normal training, and the magic arrows were sent to the hundred households, and Majiagang sealed 14,000 cans of two-pound braised beef and shipped them to Changsheng, as well as countless square bags and square bottles of rice and flour oil.

The Changshan Ordnance Bureau, including the production lines of guns, guns, armor, and soldiers, all stopped, and began to make small but delicate steel wheels and flint mechanisms as much as possible.

The steel wheel is Qi Jiguang's, and the flint is Chen Mu's, these two things are different in difficulty to make, but they are both very delicate, and they are both used on the mine as a firing mechanism.

It's all like this, you say you don't want to fight, who is it?

"I don't want to fight, Fei Lao Er wants to marry the emperor with good intentions, but he has already united Portugal, what will be the next step? To the west is Brazil, to the north is France, and we are. He will not allow himself to be attacked on all sides, whether he wants to attack Holland or us, he will renew his old friendship with France and England, and once he wants to join the war with the Nine Classics in France and the King of Alan's in England, the war will inevitably be expanded. ”

"Either way, we have to be prepared not to deal with anyone alone, but to take this opportunity against everyone."
