The implementation of the military rank system can be said to be a huge improvement in the Seawolf army system, which made the Seawolf officially embark on the road of establishing a regular army, and laid the foundation for gradually growing into a fully regularized modern army in the future.

The implementation of military ranks is bound to involve the improvement of military uniforms, which Yu Xiaotian has actually begun to do, he thinks that he is a Hade faction, and he likes the military uniforms of Germany in World War II very much, and he once wanted to give his army a copy of military uniforms like this.

But the reality is cruel, after careful consideration, he found that he is not able to do this at present, because he can make large quantities of cloth for his subordinates to make military uniforms, only Matsue cloth and Indian cotton cloth, and the Indian canvas used as a sail is too thick to be used for clothes, so he can only make aprons and protective clothing against high temperature and radiation for craftsmen.

The color of these Songjiang cloth and Indian cotton cloth is not uniform, the fabric is soft and collapsed, even if it is made according to the style of German military uniforms, it is not shapeless at all, and it will not look good.

So he can only give up this unrealistic idea, or based on the current fabric, to make military uniforms for his subordinates.

In the end, with his personal participation, a new type of military uniform was trial-produced by the garment factory, which simplified the production as much as possible, because he did not have a sewing machine at present, and the production of clothing was all handmade by women, which was very inefficient and could not keep up.

Therefore, in order to change the clothes of his subordinates as soon as possible, he must simplify the clothing as much as possible, reduce the sewing process, this kind of clothing can be said to be simplified to the extreme, dig a hole in the middle of a piece of cloth, paste a collar, leave the position of the sleeves on both sides, sew it directly, like a face bag, after adding the sleeves, people only need to put it on the head and drill into the clothes, and put the arm into the sleeve.

Even the buttons are saved, the front chest is sewn with two pockets, you can hold some simple items, the following because of the belt, even the pockets are saved, the style is very different from the military uniforms and ordinary clothing of the Ming Dynasty now, but there is a benefit, that is, the production is very convenient, almost the process that can be saved is saved, simple to the extreme, and there is a very important benefit, that is, super saving materials, almost no fabric, there is not much material left, almost a piece of fabric, all can be utilized.

The pants are also very simple, that is, two pieces of cloth sewn up the cloth tube, the lock hole is simply saved, because everyone's waist thickness is different, if the buttons are used, it is not easy to adjust, some people wear too loose, some people wear too tight, and there are not enough belts for them to equip, so simply the front waist of the pants, sew two cloth belts on both sides, after putting on the pants, tighten the cloth strips and tie them up to put on the pants, and it is quite convenient to put on and take off.

It's just that during the emergency assembly at night, some soldiers will tie the strips of cloth into dead knots because of nervousness, and when they want to pee or defecate, they are in a hurry and can't untie them, and some can only cut the strips of cloth with bayonets.

As for the problem of shoes, it has always plagued Yu Xiaotian, he does not have enough ability to distribute shoes to everyone, let alone want to distribute enough leather boots to them, the key is not the problem of financial resources, but the problem of labor, if you want to give so many people shoes, you need a very large shoe factory, sewing cloth shoes by hand, it is unimaginable.

The training intensity of the army of the other sea wolf is very high, and the consumption of shoes is also very large, even if they are given a pair of cloth boots to each of them, they will be kicked out in a few days, and they will not be able to replenish enough cloth shoes for them.

Therefore, in the past two years, the shoes issued to the soldiers by the sea wolf are almost all straw sandals, straw shoes are good, ventilated, easy to obtain raw materials, corn leaves, tough hay, cattails, rags, etc. are all suitable raw materials, soldiers can weave a few pairs of straw sandals by themselves in their spare time, and they don't even need to be specially manufactured by the clothing factory.

In summer, straw sandals have only one sole, and a few straw belts or strips of cloth around them are tied to the feet, and when it is cold in winter, they are woven into an all-inclusive shape, and the soles are also braided thicker.

In this way, everyone can wear shoes, and only the officer rank will be issued with some leather boots, which are called fast boots in this era.

Straw sandals, even in the Republic of China period and just after the liberation of the period, are still commonly used by many people, even if it is the soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who entered Burma to fight in later generations, they are basically all straw sandals made by the soldiers themselves.

Therefore, among the sea wolves, if you want to distinguish the identities of ordinary non-commissioned officers and officers, sometimes just by looking at the shoes on their feet, you can almost figure out their identities, at least eight or nine.

Both soldiers and officers of the sea wolves are now accustomed to wearing leggings, which is also a necessary part of the military uniforms they are distributed.

Especially in the army, because of the high training intensity of the sea wolf, a lot of drill training and running and marching training are carried out every day, and it will be of great benefit to wear leggings, so the soldiers are also issued with two canvas leggings.

In addition to preventing congestion and edema of the lower limbs, when the troops are marching in the mountains or fields, they can also prevent the lower legs from being scratched by bushes, branches or thorns, and sometimes when necessary on the battlefield, it can also be used as a temporary bandage tourniquet, and it can also be picked up as a rope when necessary, or tied to a stretcher, the benefits are great.

As for the navy, the need for leggings and shoes is not very high, in this era, coastal fishermen, almost all barefoot habits, on the ship is almost never wearing shoes, the demand for leggings is not high, just to prevent them from moving on the ship, to avoid trouser hooks to hang some items or trip people, so they are also issued with leggings, but the length is much shorter than that of the army, and it is also convenient to fight, only need to tie up above the ankle.

As for helmets, now the sea wolf soldiers can only be issued with a large number of rattan rattan helmets, such rattan helmets have low protection ability, can only prevent falling rocks from hurting the head, and the effect of anti-arrow and bulletproof is very low, only a few officers can be equipped with some iron helmets, which can be worn and used during combat.

Now with the increase in the economic strength of the sea wolf, the increase in material reserves, and the increase in the number of craftsmen, Yu Xiaotian has set up an iron field, so that craftsmen with average skills can make some iron pieces for soldiers and install them in front of helmets, adding some defensive capabilities to rattan helmets.

The style of the rattan helmet has been constantly adjusted, and now it is temporarily shaped into a shape with a brim, which is somewhat like the plastic helmet equipped by the Vietnamese imp army in later generations.

The sea wolf soldiers who are so armed, although they have unified their costumes and look a lot neater, but in the eyes of Yu Xiaotian, they are still a little too miserable, and the whole nondescript patrol of later generations is the best he can do at present.

The first batch of new clothing was sent to the Spanish captives to wear and try on, and they were not used to this kind of pullover top, but after wearing it for a while, these mercenaries were still satisfied with this kind of top, because this kind of clothing was very easy to wear, and when they grabbed the pullover and drilled it, they put it on their bodies, and they also saved the process of buttoning it.

For people who have not seen the military uniforms of later generations, after wearing this kind of clothes, they are still very clean and neat, and they are not ugly, and it is easy for soldiers to wear, but there are not many people who resist, but they just think that this kind of military uniform looks weird, but after getting used to it, they don't feel unacceptable.

So in the end, this new military uniform was finalized by Yu Xiaotian, and he was ready to start promoting the equipment in the next step.

The requirements for cutting of this new military uniform have been pressed to a minimum, but even so, Yu Xiaotian still asked the tailor to make some paper patterns for this kind of clothes according to the size of the number, and let people cut them according to the paper patterns.

Although there are 1,200 women working in the current garment workshop, it will take a year to make new clothes for all the people of the Seawolf tribe in a short period of time, even if it is just a new set of clothes, and it may not be able to make them.

In order to improve the production speed of clothing, Yu Xiaotian asked the council hall to send the fabric of the new clothes to some immigrant women in the form of material processing, so that they can also help the sea wolf make some new military uniforms when they are at home in their spare time.

This is very popular with immigrants, especially these women, who can't work in the seawolf's garment shop or sail because they have to help the men with the fields and take care of the children, but they can still squeeze out some time, and now there is such a good thing that allows them to earn a little money, and of course they are happy to do it.

In addition, although this kind of clothing is cut, there is not much cloth left, but it can still be saved, these cloth heads are also very rare things, a little larger cloth can be put together into a hundred clothes for children, small cloth can not be combined with clothes, rubbed into a cloth rope, can also be used to play straw shoes, but where the straw shoes are made with cloth strips, they greatly improve the durability of straw shoes, in short, in this era, the fabric will not be wasted at all, all can be fully utilized.

In addition to clothes, it also involves other equipment problems of soldiers, such as the bedding of soldiers, because the temperature in the Taiwan Strait and the coastal areas of Fujian is still higher than that in the north, although the Xiaoice River era caused this side to be very cold in winter, but after all, it will not drip into ice at night, but even so, there is no bedding at night, and it still makes people feel the cold to the bone, so this kind of thing can not be saved, but it is also very difficult to completely solve it.
