Chapter 178: A mess of military band

Shang Wen looked back and forth at the paratrooper boots in his hand. Then he couldn't help taking off his shoes and put them on for a try.

Because paratrooper boots emphasize the protection of the soles of the feet, thick insoles are specially cushioned in the shoes. After putting it on, the feet feel particularly comfortable.

Shangwen tried to walk back and forth. feeling not bad.

"Well, yes, good. Can such boots be produced now?" Shang Wen asked.

"We have made a triple-double." Yinger stood up and said happily.

"En. Not bad." Shang Wen said.

"By the way, how about those fabrics?" Shang Wen continued to ask.

"The condition of the fabric is not ideal." Yinger said after taking the topic. Ying'er understands that Shang Wen likes to listen to the truth, and if he hesitates, it makes him unhappy.

"En. What's the specific situation?" Shang Wen then asked.

"The main thing is that the fabrics received are different in size and thickness, and because the fabric composition used is not the same. Some use more wool. Some are very few, almost all made of hemp." Yinger pointed out These questions come.

"Oh. That's the way it turns out." Shang Wen said after understanding the situation.

Shang Wen can still understand this situation. After all, this is not a large-scale machine production, which can guarantee a large number of uniform specifications. These are all done by tens of thousands of hands and don’t know how long it will take. This is the era of handwork, and it has not yet entered the era of machine mass production. Besides, the steam engine has just been improved. It will take some time for large-scale production to be possible. Even if it is available, it cannot be immediately allocated to the textile workshop, because the first place provided is military production. In contrast, the manufacture of uniform uniforms is not so necessary. Moreover, there is no such need.

For the time being, Shangwen can only rely on this kind of hand workshop to produce.

"Well, you go back and study the ingredients of a fabric. Then let them make according to this ingredient. Specifications, you make them according to the specifications you think. Try to keep the same." Shang Wen arranged.

"En. Okay." Yinger agreed.

"Let's talk about it when the steam engine becomes rich in the future." Shang Wen said to himself.

"My lord, what did you say?" Yinger asked in a low voice.

"Oh, nothing. It's okay, you guys should be busy." Shang Wen waved his hand and walked away.

Thinking of textiles, Shang Wen believes that at this time, some mechanical equipment drawings have been designed in advance. Although there is a steam engine, if it can't be used well. The development is still in vain. These devices are widely used. For example, in agriculture, the first tractor was made with a steam engine. There are also trains, ships, textile machines and so on. These all require power equipment.

Shang Wen took out his notebook and quickly recorded. These things are drawn at night by myself, and at the same time I have to arrange for some people to go there. It is now in late autumn, and apart from making guns and guns, some large-scale projects have almost all stopped. In the coming year, before winter comes, you can't do nothing idle. Be prepared, just like preparing for a train. Shang Wen still planned something in advance. such as. The crawler of the tractor.

"My lord. I have already chosen the person." Li Xin said with a fist.

"From now on, remember the change of title, you should call your superiors chief. Do you understand?" Shang Wen corrected.

"Here." Li Xin replied.

"Yes, sir. It should be answered like this." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, sir." Li Xin said with a smile.

"We are a newly established service, and everything should be distinguished from those armies. Our army building thinking is responsibility and competition." Shang Wen said slowly.

"Responsibility, this is our technical requirements. It is impossible for an airship to fly to the sky by one person. He needs a lot of people to stand in different positions to ensure that the airship can fly to the sky. To compete, we must maintain the internal service of the military. Only competition can promote our progress. Promote us to have new breakthroughs. We must not only compete within the service, but we must also compete between different services. For example, the army. There are also those guns. The team, they are the representatives of the new army in the future. We must use them as our opponents. But not the enemy." Shang Wen emphasized.

"They are just our competitors, not enemies, understand?" Shang Wen looked back and emphasized again.

What Shang Wen said is precisely the military-building thought of the U.S. military. The word responsibility began to be emphasized repeatedly when Washington established the Continental Army. Because most of the U.S. military at that time came from militias, they were only sloppy. So, responsibility. This is the first thought of Washington after the establishment of the army. And it's still instilled repeatedly. This is also the thinking that the US military has been implementing to the end. American soldiers are only loose, but as long as they are in their posts, they will do their best. This is their responsibility thinking. same. The same is needed for the new service that has been newly established. The technical nature of the Air Force requires the allocation of many different positions, which require close cooperation. This requires these soldiers to have a sense of responsibility and stick to their posts. So that the aircraft can fly to the sky.

"Don't understand?" Shang Wen said, looking at Li Xin who was frowning.

"I don't quite understand." Li Xin said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, as long as we know that we must do this in the future." Shangwen didn't plan to explain, because they couldn't accept such repeated explanations. The Qin Army is different from the US Army. There is a big difference in the composition of their personnel. This is a traditional army. What this tradition requires is not understanding. It's execution. There are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that they lack the spirit of active thinking. Strict military discipline limits their personal performance. It seems that what is needed now is not very obvious. But in the future, this ill will gradually show up. The establishment of the Air Force requires this kind of personal play. Shang Wen is planning how to screen the remaining officers again.

"Boom." A big drum came. From time to time, the sound of the trombone and French horn is good. It is very close to the sound of modern musical instruments, but the sound is very noisy.

Li Xin pricked his ears and listened carefully, as if he was about to discover something. Shangwen saw it.

"Come on, let's take a look together." Shang Wen took Li Xin to the place of the musicians.

The closer, the louder the sound. Although the tone is a bit messy, Li Xin still thinks the voice is very nice, because he has already started to hum some of the tone. Shang Wen thought it was very bad. Although you can hear them thinking about some music from the messy tones, the overall situation is still that bad.
