Chapter 385 Resource Era (4)

The third-level soldier Mu Tianhua came out of the white box with a small Jiangnan, carefully lit it with a match, and took a deep breath...

Smoking is the lifestyle of "Jiangning people". In Jiangning people in the Western Continent, regardless of whether they used to smoke or not, they have now become smokers of all sizes. Under the influence of the eyes, the natives of Xijiang Shuizhai also began to learn smoke.

Xiao Jiangnan is specially supplied to indigenous soldiers. The Wuguan Port Procurement Department is customized at the Jiangnan Cigarette Factory, with a cost of one pack, no filters or hard boxes, and is a B-class military supplies.

The procurement department ordered 1,000 pieces in two months, equivalent to 50,000 pieces and 500,000 bags. It was sold in Xijiang Shuizhai and other areas, and of course the price was also money.

The three cents here are three cents of RMB and three iron coins.

Since Jin Douna served as the financial officer of Xijiang Shuizhai, in addition to strengthening the verification system of financial expenditure, her main job is to reform the salary system, or to be more precise, to reform the monetary system.

A copper coin is equivalent to a copper coin, equivalent to one yuan RMB. This exchange rate is a fixed exchange rate system and is exchanged by a credit union established by the Xijiang Shuizhai Special Committee. The "Jiangning people" including Yu Weichao, as well as all the natives under the Xijiang Shuizhai will receive wages based on RMB.

Among them, soldiers' wages are paid according to the Chinese soldiers' allowance. Third-level soldiers are the highest among soldiers, with a monthly allowance of RMB 45, that is, 45 copper coins, paid weekly, and 11 coins each time, which is 10 times the daily income of civilians in Mala City.

Although this number is very high, considering the huge gap between the rich and the poor in the Western Continent, the income of 11 copper coins per week is only to bring indigenous soldiers into the middle class.

It would be great if they became indigenous non-commissioned officers. In the reformed soldier system, level 4 soldiers are equivalent to first-commissioned officers, and the allowance is paid at RMB 300 per month, which is instantly increased by 7 times. This is actually the salary model of officers. The work they do is basically officer-oriented. In the future development direction, half of the officers below the ranks will be responsible for the indigenous officers. Thanks to the conscript system implemented in China, there are many veterans born in Jiangbei. It is no problem to pull them out to be low-level officers or non-commissioned officers, while the technical positions will continue to be "Jiangning people" and supplemented by some South Americans.

In front of Mu Tianhua, the South American uncle Tinolonia was working on a computer in the Hummer, a name that was difficult to remember. His job was to sort ore collected by the soldiers, then label it, and mark the location on the irregular temporary electronic map. This kind of work was done by indigenous soldiers, and they would have to worry about them. Considering that the local area did not have nine years of compulsory education, in fact, indigenous people who could quickly count to 21 were smart and talented young people.

Many young people in poor South American countries are not much better, but after all, many people have undergone higher education. For example, Uncle Tinolonia, who finished high school in Brazil, hoped to go to the United States to find a good job and then return to his hometown to marry a girl...

It seems that it is not possible now. The salary of South Americans has not been discussed yet. In the past few months, gentlemen from South Americans have experienced various troubles that Jiangning people have not experienced in more than a year. They first planned several escape operations, received education from the stick, and then began to resist in groups and be educated by the stick, and then went on strike and hunger strike to protest, which was still the stick.

Now, about half of the South Americans have started to work properly, while the rest continue to be in a semi-hunger strike. In She Lei’s opinion, starve to death. There are different opinions in the diamond-shaped general office, and when it is impossible to unify, they can only let themselves go. In other words, those who starve to death during this period are considered in vain.

It will take until Chen Yi will come to the Western Continent next time that Yu Weichao and others will ask for instructions.

"It's lunch time, everyone is here to have lunch!" An indigenous soldier shouted in the half-baked "Jiangning dialect". Those who can enter the indigenous rank must be smart and hard-working indigenous people, otherwise why should they get 10 times the salary of ordinary people? Learning Chinese is one of the criteria, and those who don't know how to eat.

Li Changning, who was responsible for popularizing education, was also very strange at first. Why did indigenous soldiers learn languages ​​so quickly? Later, I learned that temples in various places select intelligent indigenous people to study in temples every year. This is a compulsory education in the Western Continent, but the popularity is very weak. However, after thousands of years of inheritance, the talent for fast language learning has almost penetrated into the bone marrow, just like a gene has chosen it, so their language ability is not a little stronger than that of the people on earth.

There are still many students who do not understand the common language in the Western Mainland at all.

The third-level soldier Mu Tianhua bit the cigarette mouth, took a deep breath, sucked the cigarette as much as possible, and then leaned over to carry the m2 heavy machine gun and returned to the queue. This is something that only soldiers in the Western Continent can do. Browning's m2 empty gun has 38 kilograms. If it weren't for safety and convenience, a 20 kilogram tripod and a considerable amount of bullet box would be hung on the same soldier. The heavy machine gun with a distance is obvious, and the distance is far enough, which is much better than the automatic rifle. Now, as long as the field soldiers with heavy machine gun certificates, they will almost choose m2 Browning. There was a batch of lighter Type 95 and m60 universal machine guns sent, and almost no one used it. Because the distance is too close, the effect will be greatly reduced for thick armored fast targets such as heavy cavalry and saber-toothed beasts.

The large-scale use of m2 Browning not only made the arms broker Medero happy, but the logistics pressure of Xijiang Water Village increased greatly. However, no matter how high the logistics requirements of the two companies were, the allocation of materials within a radius of a few dozen kilometers could be completed by novices. This also promoted the construction of the highway network in another aspect. Now, in addition to Mara City itself, its surrounding areas have been built with simple roads, just like Chinese towns in the 1980s.

"Brother Mu will come first."

As soon as Mu Tianhua arrived at the chef, the soldiers all gave in.

The strict hierarchy in the Western Continent was naturally inherited by the indigenous soldiers. Senior soldiers have absolute priority, including eating, changing weapons, purchasing and redemption of scarce materials, etc.

No one expressed any opinions on this. He Qun and others from the regular army wanted to do the same thing as everyone in the army, but no one responded, so they gave up.

Mu Tianhua was completely unaware of this and had no feelings. His eyes were covered with white rice, and he shouted happily: "Rice, rice. There is still rice today?"

"I didn't say that as long as you enter the war zone or fight, you will have good food every day." The answer was that the retired volunteer soldier Li Yizhuang, a smiling veteran. Like most Chinese soldiers who had never been to the battlefield, Li Yizhuang was a volunteer soldier for 12 years. After returning home, he was still penniless and could not afford his wife and children, so he could only come to "foreign" as a mercenary. Because he had been an old squad leader in the army for many years, he became a ready-made low-ranking military officer candidate and directly led a 30-person indigenous platoon.

"Eat rice every day, I really want to stay in the war zone all my life." Another third-level soldier, Mushan, smiled. All their platoons were from Mucun people, and they had stronger combat power than the broken squad platoons. Moreover, they also needed their survival skills to find minerals.

"If you eat rice every day, you will get tired of it." Li Yizhuang smiled and added a spoon to him.

Mushan smiled and said, "It's impossible. Look at the nobles in the city, they build a farm just to eat rice."

"If you eat too much, you want to eat rice, and if you eat too much, you want to eat rice."

"There is nothing rare everywhere in the forest. The rice is good, but unfortunately I can't take it home." Mushan stood next to the rice bowl, put half a pound of rice into his mouth, and stretched out his hand: "Planner, come another serving."

Li Yizhuang filled him with a smile and said, "Don't the credit union sell rice tickets? Just use them to exchange them."

"It's very expensive and not cost-effective." Mushan didn't eat anything or vegetables, so he tried hard to dig the rice, as if he wanted to make it back.

Li Yizhuang shook his head helplessly and gave himself a box of heavy curry rice, which was full of boxes of Cang Cow and started eating. After staying in the army for a long time, he had been tired of eating pickled radish rice every meal. Things like curry, roasted, etc. were more attractive.

After coming to the Western Continent, Li Yizhuang felt that the happiest thing was to be able to eat the food of countries around the world that he had never dared to imagine before. Xijiang Water Village was sufficiently supplied - it was actually equivalent to a small town in Jiangning. In order to satisfy the life of the earthlings, the first thing they satisfied was their appetite.

If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between Western Mainland and Jiangning was too restricted, Li Yizhuang would have wanted to bring his wife.

Living in the corner of the county town, working at sunrise and sleeping at sunset every day is not as fun as the Western mainland.

Several second-level soldiers silently filled their meals and hid in the corner of the table and spoke quietly. Most of the second-level soldiers were heavy machine gun deputys, or were responsible for carrying bullet boxes and other combat supplies, and were not qualified to talk loudly in front of the third-level soldiers. However, they had their own small circle. In addition to talking to third-level soldiers in public, they did not need to salute or something. That was a privilege that only officers had.

The rumble sound of rice scattering like a hymn of a starving ghost, sounded by the empty lake.

In the woods by the lake, three villagers from Tiefang hid in the bushes, staring at each other with big eyes.

"Which is the Jiangning native?" The leading villagers were dressed neatly, not even a doubt, and they were the residents in Mala City.

It is not easy to get out of the ring road. The young man next to him was wearing a braid and carrying a basket-like container, which was filled with heavy objects, and his waist collapsed. He leaned against the tree and said, "The third team is here, they have to find the mine."

"It seems to be true. It is said that their soldiers are not more than a thousand."

"Their bullets are all pure copper, so why bother robbing us of our livelihood?"

"That's right, let's stay for another two days. When they all part, they'll be able to go back."

The three of them talked to themselves, but did not notice the direction where Li Yizhuang's team was preparing to march, which was the woods by the lake where they were hiding.

...a!~!
