Speaking of training professional officers, Xia Nan remembered the military uniform he designed last year, and he asked: "We have made an improved version of the mandarin duck jacket, which has not been mass-produced and distributed to the troops, right?" ”

Lin Weiye replied: "Not only the military uniform, but also the rattan armor has made a sample, but as soon as you go to Shandong, it will be shelved." This is half a year, and not long after you come back, you will encounter a war again, so it has not been loaded. ”

"Since we want to hold a training course for officers, let's solve the problem of military uniforms as well, right? And on the basis of the original, the officer is to be clearly distinguished from the soldier. ”

Lin Weiye agreed: "This is a must. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and the soldier must be motivated to improve. The four major signs of the modern army: independent artillery, professional officers, absolute discipline, and line tactics, none of which are missing. ”

"And that said? Fortunately, these four things, except for the officer part, we are all beginning to take shape. Then let's discuss the officer's uniform. ”

Lin Weiye thought for a while: "In addition to the distinction in style design, badges such as epaulettes or badges can make a fuss. ”

"Well, this is also a very important thing, how about you design the pattern?" Summer Minami said tentatively.

Lin Weiye protested: "How can I do this, you should do it, you are the big boss." ”

"Okay, let's design together. However, I have a suggestion about epaulettes, the color of the epaulettes of soldiers and officers should be different. In addition, leggings were used for soldiers, and leather boots were used for officers. ”

Lin Weiye thought about it for a while: "This can be there, it can highlight the difference between officers and soldiers." But you have to find a professional person for a professional job like leather boots, I don't, and Nanying won't. You have to find craftsmen from Fucheng or even Guangzhou to tann it. ”

"No problem. Let's go to Guangzhou together another day. ”

"Aren't you afraid that the Guangzhou government will do a black hand to you?"

Xia Nan smiled: "I'm all recruited, I'm a member of the imperial court." Even if the new governor wants to make a black hand, he has to consider whether the 'Bofu Pirates', who he has managed to appease, will rebel again. However, for the sake of all things, it is better to keep a low profile and enter the city at that time. ”

Speaking of epaulettes and other patterns, Lin Weiye tried to save trouble and proposed: "Just copy PLA." ”

"Let's learn from it, it's too shameless to copy." Xia Nan laughed.

Under the discussion between the two, the epaulettes and other patterns were determined: the soldiers' epaulettes were gold-edged on a red background, and the officers' epaulettes were gold-edged on a black background, and the patterns were all gold. The lower part of the private's epaulette is a folded bar, the second class is two folded bars, and the first class is three folded bars; The corporal is a five-pointed star in the middle, a star with two bars, and a sergeant with three bars on a star; Officers above the rank of epaulette are epaulettes, a second lieutenant has a horizontal bar with a star in the middle, a lieutenant has a bar with two stars, and a captain has a bar with three stars; The major has one star in the middle of the two bars, the lieutenant colonel has two stars on the two bars, and the colonel has three stars on the two bars.

According to Lin Weiye's assumption, there will be no establishment above the division and brigade for a long time, and the rank corresponding to the position will end as colonel, but considering the honorary nature of the military rank, in order to leave room for future rewards, the general's epaulettes are still designed, and the olive branch of the pla is copied with the pattern of the five-pointed star, and the olive branch is only changed to the auspicious cloud pattern.

"The army has done it, and what about the navy?"

Lin Weiye patted his head, "I almost forgot!" The navy will follow the standard of the army, but the color of the clothes will be changed to white, and the cuffs will be trimmed with blue. ”

Xia Nan nodded and said, "The military uniform and badge have been designed, what about the hat?" Or how to shape the helmet? ”

Lin Weiye said: "It depends on whether you use a cloth hat or a steel helmet directly." ”

"You tell me the pros and cons of the two materials first, and then I can judge."

"The advantages and disadvantages of steel helmets are obvious, the protective ability is much stronger than the hat, the cold weapon era can prevent the shooting of bows and arrows or the chopping of swords, the firearm era can be anti-shrapnel, the disadvantage is that the difficulty and cost of manufacturing are much higher than the cloth hat. The biggest advantage of the cloth hat is that it is cheap and easy to manufacture - you can pull in a few tailors and you can get to work. ”

Xia Nan thought about it carefully and asked, "Can the current craft make steel helmets?" How much does it cost? ”

"It's a bit of a hassle. The only thing we can smelt on a large scale now is carbon steel, and it's low-carbon steel. If you directly use low carbon steel as the material, the process of manufacturing steel helmets is relatively simple, but the hardness is not enough, and it may be able to resist light arrows, but in the face of Houjin's heavy arrows and hand-to-hand weapons, even if it is not penetrated, the resulting deformation will cause a lot of damage to the soldiers. Such armor is not cost-effective. ”

In the summer, Nan was popularized by Lin Weiye about the knowledge of carbon steel, and knew that low carbon steel is commonly known as soft steel, which has the advantage of good plasticity and toughness, and is a good material for rolling the barrel, but the disadvantage is that the strength and hardness are low, because the black powder is used, and the chamber pressure is low when firing.

"In fact, it is also a way to follow the production process of the bayonet, after carburizing treatment, the appearance is high-carbon steel with good hardness and strength, and the inner core is still low-carbon steel with good toughness. However, the difficulty of this is obvious: the shape of the steel helmet is much more complex than that of a three-edged spear, and the curved structure is difficult to carburize uniformly. It's okay to make one or two displays, but it's not a little difficult to mass-produce them on a large scale. Lin Weiye spread his hands and said.

Xia Nan got up and paced back and forth, the difficulties that Lin Weiye said were obviously difficult to overcome, and the steel helmet would either equip the troops in large quantities or simply give up, which was a two-choice topic.

He paused, "Let's go back and think about the practical value of helmets." In the face of the weak Ming army, our soldiers wore helmets of little value other than to increase the burden on their heads and necks; In the face of the cold weapon troops of the Later Jin, the helmet can reduce the damage of the bow and arrow to a certain extent - I remember that the Mongols archery was a projectile, and the Jurchens were about the same, right? ”

Lin Weiye nodded: "In addition to using heavy arrows at close range is flat shooting, medium and long-distance projectiles are generally projectile to cover the killing, especially firearm infantry formations like ours, which suffer more from long-distance projectiles." ”

Xia Nan analyzed: "In hand-to-hand combat, I think it is difficult for the helmet to withstand the damage caused by the blunt weapon attack of the Houjin soldiers, even if you are a high-carbon steel with enough hardness, you will still have a concussion if you hit it with a big stick." And we have the advantage of firearms, more of a long-range attack, unless we have to do it, we will not choose hand-to-hand combat, so we might as well ignore the factor of hand-to-hand combat at close range and only consider the damage of light arrow throwing. ”
