Chapter 2579: Cigarettes gone
Everyone couldn't help laughing. Knowing his name as a "cigar man", this person is very addicted to cigarettes. As long as he smokes, he can work like Zhang Fei Zhanma Chao for three days and three nights without eating and sleeping.
But once he stopped smoking, he fainted, languid, and lost motivation.
The commander is like this. The Eleventh Army is very addicted to cigarettes. When they gather together, they smoke together, and the place is almost filled with smoke like a fire.
As soon as they smoked, they rushed forward like riding a horse. Without smoking, they slowed down listlessly. It didn't mean that they couldn't fight, but the offensive posture was not strong enough.
In short, compared with other armies, the combat effectiveness of the Eleventh Army when there is enough smoking is one of the best in the Western Crusade, and when there is no smoking, the combat effectiveness of the Eleventh Army cannot compete in the Western Crusade.
The characteristics of the Eleventh Army let the emperor know, he couldn't help but muttered: "Grass, isn't this a two-gun general in Sichuan?"
In the parallel space during the Republic of China period, the army under the command of the Sichuan warlords was a two-gun general, with a rifle in one hand and a big smoker in the other.
The Imperial Army of South China does not carry big smoke guns. There are a lot of cigars and cigarette smokes, which are "double guns" to a certain extent. Many troops have hookahs (called Daluzhu in Cantonese). A hookah is one for small talk. The brothers in the squad took turns to draw, and the cadres of the company platoon came down and took a few mouthfuls. Even the commander of the division under the company squad also smoked a lot of bamboo to enhance the relationship between officers and soldiers.
After all, cigars and cigarettes are expensive, and smoking with hookahs can save a lot of money. Once in a new army, a Cantonese soldier passed the technology of smoking hookahs in his hometown to his comrades in order to save them. After smoking a lot of cigarettes, his comrades unanimously recommended him to get a third-class merit after the change of defense. The military department was very clear about the situation and approved it.
It sounds trivial, but it's hard to turn around without smoking.
Cigarettes are simply a necessity for war. Soldiers rely on smoking to decompress. In the extremely cruel war environment, officers and soldiers have suffered great physical and psychological damage and destruction. They saw the scene of the life and death game and massacre. Even if they were not harmed by the bullets, they would have great psychological harm. Less is more, even after being far away from the battlefield, it is difficult to get out of the shadow of war. If effective supervision is not carried out, terrible sequelae of the war will be produced.
There is always no effective means to prevent this situation, and no medical treatment can be found. Although cigarettes and alcohol are not miraculous antidote, they can resist temporary loneliness, just like anesthetizing a person’s nerves. Their hearts were traumatized by war.
There is no doubt that the troops on combat missions need to control alcohol. Alcohol makes people start to be destructive, and their thinking is not controlled by themselves. The troops have always been a disciplined place. Drinking mistakes can easily affect the whole body. Strict control, but cigarettes are different.
The officers and soldiers can be refreshed by smoking. A puff makes them guard against the attack of the Zhijun day and night. Otherwise, there is no necessary auxiliary means, and they cannot stay awake day and night. There is not much entertainment on the front line. After having a lighter, light a cigarette to smoke. The easiest and most effective way to stay awake.
Can you eat it with sugar?
Too tired to drink water, and we are not children.
Drink tea, drink coffee to refresh?
Don't be funny, boiling water is precious, it is difficult to provide too much.
The South China Empire insisted on providing boiled water to the soldiers. The consequence was that the logistics pressure was not small, and sufficient fuel had to be provided. The compressed tobacco packs were very convenient to carry.
Cigarettes can also relieve boredom. After you finish your work, the day's chat is over. If you don't have cigarettes to smoke, wouldn't it be annoying?
The army officers and soldiers were addicted to cigarettes. Before the war, because of smoking, they always quarreled with their wives. I didn't expect that when they went to war, the packages prepared by their wives were always full of cigarettes!
But now the cigarettes of the Eleventh Army are gone!
The war was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more materials were consumed. The logistics gradually became unable to supply cigarettes, and even shredded tobacco was scarce. The soldiers flattened the paper on their knees, added some shredded tobacco, and rolled it into a dogleg-like cigarette. Get up, M's is miserable enough.
The lack of tobacco supply is very painful, and the officers and soldiers of the army are in depression.
It’s not that the South China Empire has no money. The fact is that the military’s cigars, cigarettes, and shredded tobacco in Southeast Asia’s logistics warehouses are too numerous to count. The smell is so great that people who have never smoked can faint, mainly in tobacco. The supply went wrong continuously:
1. Admiral Kostit escorted two hundred logistics supply ships to be overtaken by the Spaniards. He paid a redemption fee, including a large amount of tobacco.
The Twelfth Army sent to the United Kingdom lacked tobacco, and their environment was even more difficult, so they had to give priority to the supply of tobacco there!
2. The logistics ships sent from China to the front line were hit by the storm, and the three ships full of tobacco were taken by the newly appointed Sea Dragon King in the Indian Ocean (the Indian Ocean became the inner sea of the Chinese, and the South China Empire sealed one of them to the Indian Ocean on behalf of the Heavenly Court). The Sea Dragon King is a brother of the Four Seas Dragon King called Ao Ren). He didn’t want anything, but sank these three tobacco ships. The news spread to the front line, and the officers and soldiers were dumbfounded, and said angrily: "TMD Hai The Dragon King also snatched cigarettes with us!"
Having said that, the next time the Navy will offer incense to the Sea Dragon King of the Indian Ocean, in addition to other sacrifices, it will also include lighted cigarettes!
Let him smoke enough, don't sink our cigarette boat!
Well, the blessings in the Hailongwang Temple in the Indian Ocean are for the collection of cigarette sacrifices, which is unique in the world.
The Eleventh Army’s supply of cigarettes is severely inadequate, which affects combat effectiveness. If the strength of the troops is insufficient, it can be collected. If the ammunition is insufficient, use the bayonet, but if there is no cigarette...
Dou Ming stood up suddenly, his white teeth fumbled, and three consecutive military orders were issued.
"1. Send someone to report the news that the Empress is about to arrive in Genoa with 800 miles.
2. Our army immediately sent troops, under the command of General Ma (Bao), to advance to Genoa!
3. I personally go to the port of Trieste~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to transfer the tobacco there! "
After listening to the command from the commander, everyone looked strange.
The first order is necessary, and the second order is that Dou Mingwang used the right to deal with the emergency on the battlefield. He did not receive an order to attack Genoa, but he will be outside. The military order is not immune to the benefit of the country. It is also justified.
As for the third order, he is ready to resume his old job as a robber to rob tobacco!
The Port of Trieste, located in the innermost coastal city of the Adriatic Sea, is a hundred kilometers away from Venice by sea. It is the general distribution center for the South China Army's supplies. There must be tobacco in the warehouses there.
But without a military order, it is impossible to extract the food there!
Ma Bao persuaded: "Military seat, do you send someone else..."
"No, others can't go, I'll do it!" Dou Mingwang waved his hand.
"Execute the order!" He instructed, and everyone stood up to salute him and began to work nervously.
