After the last military meeting, Li Ming began to set up the headquarters of the Beishang Group Army. The entire military commission system has also begun to run like crazy.

In recent years, a large number of materials hoarded began to converge along the Hunhe River, and huge military camps rose from the ground, and all the main forces participating in the war slowly gathered here.

Under the leadership of Gao Jianguo and Wang He, the headquarters of the Beishang Group Army, the standing committee members and members of the board of directors of the Far East Company, and various departments of the Ethnic Affairs Committee came here to express their condolences to all the commanders and fighters who participated in the planned operations in the north.

Li Ming led all the personnel of the headquarters of the group army in the north and warmly greeted them.

Wang He shook hands with Li Ming and the others, and then said with a smile: "Li Ming, why do you make it like welcoming the inspection team, we are not here to inspect the work today, we are mainly here to express condolences to everyone, you are doing this, everyone is under a lot of pressure." ”

His words made everyone laugh.

Wang He continued: "The northbound plan is the top priority of the company's strategic layout in the next ten years, which is related to the century-old tranquility of our Far Northeast.

The environment in the northern grasslands is harsh and complex, and it is also a severe test for all the officers and men participating in the war to fight in such a difficult environment. On behalf of the Nationalities Affairs Committee, I would like to express my condolences to all of you and bring some condolences to all the officers and men participating in the battle, hoping that the soldiers will brave the hardships and dangers and bravely kill the enemy in the coming arduous battle. ”

Li Ming applauded first, laughed and said, "Then we will go north to the group army, and thank you for the care of the leaders, haha...... Everyone applauded. I would like to express my gratitude to the comrades of the Nationalities Affairs Committee. ”

Li Ming and everyone in the northbound group army also applauded, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic for a while.

This time, all departments of the Nationalities Affairs Committee brought condolences to the commanders and fighters of the units. There are many varieties of these condolences, and the Ministry of Chemical Industry has prepared a bottle of skin care cream refined from whale oil for every soldier of the Beishang Group Army. After plastering, it can resist the wind and sand on the grassland. There are also several vials of insect repellent to prevent mosquito bites.

This is the Far East Detergent Group under the Ministry of Chemical Industry of the Far East Detergent Group Co., Ltd., Far East Detergent Group, can produce washing, makeup, cleaning and other products, the company's production of detergent, mosquito coils, alabaster cream, shampoo, toilet water and other products, occupy all the markets in Daming, North Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia, and even exported to Europe, the Middle East and other places, welcomed by consumers.

The office of the Nationalities Council prepared a number of cultural supplies for the officers and soldiers participating in the war, including pencils, stationery and notebooks. The mission condolences are two books compiled by the mission printing house. It includes jokes, short stories, celebrity quotes, and of course a lot of content promoting the Far Eastern Company, both of which can be read by warriors during breaks in the fighting on the steppe.

In order to meet the needs of the internal employees of the Far Eastern Company, the cigarette factory established by the Light Industry Department of the Far Eastern Company using modern equipment began large-scale production a few years ago, and has produced more than a dozen series of cigarette brands, which are exported to Daming, Japan, North Korea and Southeast Asia.

The Sakhalin Petrochemical Base has developed a field kerosene lamp for the grassroots platoon. There is also high-quality kerosene produced at the Sakhalin petrochemical base. Kerosene lamps and kerosene are now a big product of the Far Eastern Ministry of Commerce. At present, the sales in various places are very hot, and even the Daming Palace uses luxury series of oil lamps and high-quality kerosene developed by the Sakhalin Petrochemical Base in the Far East.

The Manila Economic Development Zone brought fresh fruits from all over Southeast Asia to the fighters. Each soldier was also given a variety of Southeast Asian preserved fruits produced in the Manila Preserved Fruit Field, and the battlefield of the northward battle was in the vast grassland, and it was very difficult to replenish them, with these preserved fruits, the soldiers could fully replenish their vitamins.

The company's industrial department equipped each fighter with an iron wine jug of two or two, and it was also filled with bud rice straw wine. Although the time of departure of the fighters was spring. But on spring nights in the northern grasslands, the biting cold wind is as hard to endure, and a sip of spirits on a cold night can be the best way to resist the cold.

The condolences from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry are much richer, including all kinds of dried meat and fish, vacuum-packed vegetables, all kinds of dried fruits in the mountains of Northeast China, milk cheese and other foods that can be stored for a long time.

The condolences provided by the Tanegashima Management Committee are the most down-to-earth. They organized a large number of Japanese prostitutes and set up temporary takayas near the camp of the Kitakami Army. Before the start of the plan to go north, the soldiers could come here for recreation and entertainment during the holidays, and they were very popular with the commanders and fighters of the group army in the north.

The People's Committee of the Far Eastern Group also organized art troupes, opera troupes, and choirs in various regions to perform in various units. In addition to the intense training, the fighters can enjoy a variety of colorful programs.

Although the regular troops of the Far East have long been accustomed to such activities to support the army, the current support and condolences of the Nationalities Committee are much stronger in scale and intensity than in the past. The Nationalities Committee distributed a variety of condolences to each of the soldiers they brought, which moved all the commanders and fighters of the Beishang Group Army very much.

As the pace of spring drew closer, the preparations for the northbound army were gradually completed. All the troops are ready to go, just waiting for Li Ming's order to set off north. However, according to the reconnaissance of the airboat unit and the several infiltrations of the special combat team led by Song Tao, it was found that from last year until this spring, the snow conditions in the northbound grassland were very severe. Although it is the end of March, there are still frequent heavy snowstorms in the northern grasslands.

The snow disaster on the grassland is also known as the "white disaster" by the herdsmen, commonly known as the "white hair wind".

The northern grasslands are mostly located in the tail of the East Asian monsoon region, and are often slightly late due to the ocean air mass, which leads to drought, that is, the so-called nine droughts in ten years. It is rare that there is more snowfall in winter and spring in a year, the soil moisture is good, the forage grass grows vigorously in spring, and the animal husbandry industry is expected to have a bumper harvest. It was supposed to be a "Ruixue Mega Year", but now it has become a "white disaster".

White plague is a type of disaster in which the grassland is covered with snow at a depth of more than 15 cm, making grazing impossible. Snow covers the pasture and exceeds a certain depth, some snow is not deep, but the density is large, or the snow surface is covered with ice to form an ice shell, which is difficult for livestock to pick up the snow layer to graze, causing hunger, and sometimes the ice shell is easy to cut the hooves and wrists of sheep and horses, causing frostbite. As a result, the livestock is emaciated, often resulting in the miscarriage of the mother animal, the survival rate of the young animals is low, the old, weak and young animals are hungry and cold, and the death rate increases.

White plagues can occur when the snow cover is 30% higher than the height of the pasture, and severe white disasters can occur when the snow thickness exceeds 65%. Due to the different feeding capacity of livestock, such as horses can still feed when the snow depth is 20-30cm, sheep 10-20cm, cattle less than 10cm, therefore, in the case of white plague, the loss of horses is the smallest, the loss of sheep is larger, and the mortality rate of cattle is the highest.
