Chapter 178: What a big iron mine

Even the independent regiment was no exception, and each soldier in the Weinan division headquarters received two pairs of cloth shoes, and before they entered Hanzhong, most of them broke a pair. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, no one from the officer to the soldier was in a hurry, and he used the rest time to find a suitable straw stalk on the side of the road and weave straw sandals, in the early summer weather, the light and breathable straw shoes are like future sandals, breathable and cool, Liu Lang, who has received red education since he was a child, and straw shoes are just a must-have for red soldiers.

It turns out that straw sandals are not just the preserve of red warriors!

However, the straw sandals are not as good as imagined, the newly knitted straw sandals are too hard and easy to hurt the feet, walking down dozens of miles a day, the grinding feet are full of blood blisters and scars, which makes Liu Lang, who is qualified to wear leather boots, frown.

Although he was also uncomfortable in leather boots. As soon as the shoes were taken off at night, the gods and ghosts did not dare to enter the tent for fear of being smoked to death. Liu Lang even had an illusion that he was not bitten by mosquitoes at night because of his long leather boots.

Since then, Liu Lang has made up his mind to build a factory specializing in the production of clothes and shoes to solve this problem.

The reason why he chose liberation shoes is not only that Liu Lang has feelings for this kind of military shoes that have been eliminated in the future republic, but that this kind of shoes are most suitable for the current situation of this era. The two advantages of low cost, light and durable can completely cover up the disadvantages of breathability, moisture permeability and poor waterproof performance. Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Lang will not go to the south to fight for the time being, and in the next seven or eight years, Liu Lang and his independent regiment may be dominated by northern China, where the Japanese invasion was most intense.

Liberation shoes have become Liu Lang's best choice.

At the same time, liberation shoes have also proven themselves in countless wars.

In the most famous war of support in the early days of the Republic, millions of volunteers wore liberation shoes and inflicted heavy losses on American GIs wearing American combat boots.

Of course, liberation shoes are not god shoes, whoever wears them will return to blood and blue, and they can also play a nirvana, that can only be a novel and anime to watch too much. The M43 high-waisted combat boots worn by American GIs are both durable and warm and cold-proof, and in the weather of dozens of degrees below zero in the north, the thin liberation shoes under the feet of the red soldiers are really turned into slag in seconds.

However, this time, the American GIs were not in the open territory of Europe, nor in the flat Pacific islands, and the land north of the Yalu River was full of rugged mountain peaks. The mechanization on which the American GIs relied was blocked by nature like never before, and the poor GIs had to measure the battlefield with their feet like the red soldiers they despised called Hanako.

Obviously, whether it is up or down the mountain or even slapping the butt and running away, the light and grippy liberation shoes under the feet of the red soldiers turn the bulky combat boots under the feet of the American GIs into scum in seconds.

Once the poor American GIs lost their cars and tanks, they relied purely on running, and the extra few pounds of boots on their feet became their nightmare, and in the five major battles, American GIs who were captured because they could not outrun the Republican volunteers during the retreat abounded.

The battle was not over yet, and the American GIs even strongly demanded to change back to old-fashioned military boots, which had nothing to do with the super mobility of the volunteers who wore liberation shoes and walked like flying.

Sure enough, the high-level officials of the independent regiment may not be too interested in Liu Lang's copycat version of camouflage uniforms, but for this sturdy, lightweight and durable liberation shoes, all officers can't put it down. Most of them are low-level officers, and the kind of bullish leather boots are not their turn, and they are regarded as treasures if they can have a pair of rubber shoes, and they are reluctant to wear them unless they are in battle, and they usually wear cloth shoes. If the independent regiment's own factory could produce rubber soled shoes that were ordered by the fat regiment to be "anti-war shoes", they would no longer have to worry about the imperability of cloth shoes.

After all, he is an official, and he is not upset in straw sandals, right?

As for the rubber used to produce shoe soles, the whole regiment of the independent regiment is only more than 2,000 people, even if the militia of each village and village in Guangyuan is counted, it is only 10,000 people, and if each person has two pairs, it will be more than 20,000 pairs. Having money can make the grinding ghosts, and the warlords in the two vast lands control the strategic material of rubber, isn't it the idea of turning them into the ocean?

Under the threat that Miss Ji was about to find a cheap son-in-law for Boss Ji, Boss Ji gave in with tears in his eyes. On the other side of the radio, a certain group was also in tears. We can occasionally be an old man, and we can also use some slightly nonsense reasons, but don't you talk about this. The last time I took 20,000 oceans from Boss Ji, I already felt that his old man's eyes were not good.

This is Liu Lang's lack of life experience. As a father, as long as he knows that his baby girl is remembered, he has no good face for any object of suspicion, which has nothing to do with whether he is excellent or not. Therefore, only the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and becomes more and more happy, while the father-in-law has always blown his beard and stared.

And these are not the happiest things that make Liu Lang feel the happiest. What made Liu Lang happiest in the past two days was undoubtedly the discovery of iron ore in the mountains only a dozen miles away from the fortress base of the Independent Regiment.

Before setting off from Chongzhou's home, Liu Lang entrusted his father to hire mineral exploration experts in Chengdu with a high salary to explore in the mountains behind the base of the independent regiment.

The so-called geologist invited by Liu Shun and his father was a young man with glasses, because Liu Lang happened to go to the boot camp that day, so he missed the opportunity to meet the young geologist, and was received by Liang Wenzhong, who was in charge of logistics.

And this young geologist was also an anxious child, and on the day he arrived at the base of the independent regiment, he did not participate in the routine welcome banquet, but took the six soldiers assigned to him by Liang Wenzhong and raised them into the mountains with equipment.

This trip was only a month, and if it weren't for the fact that a soldier returned to the camp to ask for supplies during the period, even Liu Lang wondered if they had encountered some mountain monster and ended up collectively. Although the six veterans were armed to the teeth, each with a rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition, plus a box gun plus four grenades, and even a light machine gun, such a firepower configuration, not to mention any monsters in the mountains, even if they encountered a Japanese standard combat squad, they could resist for a long time, enough to support the arrival of reinforcements.

Dozens of large and small open and dark sentinels deployed outside the base of the independent regiment are not decorations.

Until two days ago, seven people with dirty and unshaven beards like wild men came out of the mountains, although their image was not good, but their spirits were full of energy. The reason is very simple, they found it, found the iron ore that Liu Lang hoped to find, and the mineral deposits were extremely rich. According to the analysis of young experts, the reserves are as high as tens of millions of tons, and they are iron concentrates, with an iron content of up to 55%.

The soldiers didn't understand these data, but they knew from the wrinkles on the young faces of the young experts that this was a big iron mine that could produce a lot of ore.

The soldiers were excited, because they knew that with iron ore they could make iron and steel, and with these materials, they could build a base and turn them into money, and the richer the independent regiment, the better their treatment would be, and the fat regiment was the most generous commander they had ever seen.

The young geologist is even more excited, because every time he discovers a mineral deposit, the country he loves becomes stronger.

However, this is a little conflicting with Liu Lang's current plan.
