Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 152 Food Crisis
At this time, the two aircraft of the Red Police Force formed a two-aircraft formation and carried out alert flights on the scheduled cruise route.

The pilots of the two planes were in the cockpit, looking at the blue sky of the motherland and listening to the roar of the engine, their hearts were very surging.

"102, it would be even better if some little devil's planes are added to the fun at this time!"

"101, the little devil doesn't have much aviation force in Shanxi at this time, and we two just want to touch the devil's plane, so it depends on our luck."

The two pilots in the formation chatted with each other through the radio in the sky.

At this moment, a dark green suspicious target appeared in the eyes of the pilot of the J-101 fighter number [-] who was the lead plane.

"102, a suspicious target was found at 3 o'clock. It seems to be a Japanese military plane. Please pay attention to identify it."

The wingman pilot numbered 102 immediately looked in the direction of three o'clock after receiving the report from the lead plane.After careful observation by the two, it can be determined that this suspicious target is a reconnaissance plane of the Japanese army.

"Tower, I'm 101. I found a Japanese reconnaissance plane conducting reconnaissance missions in the airspace near me. Please instruct me whether to fire and shoot it down."

The aviation tower located in the Dagushan base area immediately responded after receiving the call from the cruise formation: "101, 102, I am the tower. It is allowed to shoot down the enemy plane, but be careful not to reveal your identity information."

The control tower made this very clear, there is only one request, and no one will be left alive!

"101 understand!"

"102 understand!"

After receiving the order from the tower, the two immediately drove the fighter plane to accelerate to the rear and upper part of the Japanese reconnaissance plane, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the devil's plane.

Thanks to the fact that the practical ceiling of the J-[-] aircraft is much higher than that of Japanese aircraft in the early days of World War II, and the fighters used by the Red Police Force are painted with light gray and low visibility.

The light gray fighter plane was reflected in the sky around the clouds, not as conspicuous as the green paint job of the Devil's plane.

This made the Devil's reconnaissance plane focused on the ground, but did not realize that the double-click formation of the Red Police Force had already targeted them.

The two-aircraft formation of the Red Police Force opened fire instantly when the enemy plane entered the range of the machine gun.

The two J-12.7 fighter planes did not use 23mm aviation machine guns, but [-]mm aviation cannons, and began to attack the little devil's reconnaissance plane.

The 23mm cannon beats the little devil's crispy chicken, and the main target is to leave no one alive!
The barrage poured out of the four 23mm cannons was like raindrops, shooting towards the Devils reconnaissance plane.

Zhang Shijie equipped the artillery shells of the Red Police Force with proximity fuzes. The shells began to explode half a meter away from the Japanese aircraft, and a large amount of shrapnel was ejected with the explosion.

Before the little devil's reconnaissance plane could react, the entire plane was completely torn apart by the dense rain of shrapnel, and it plummeted to the ground with billowing black smoke.

The plane fell straight to the ground from an altitude of 3000 meters. The crew on the plane had no chance of surviving, and the pilots of the little devils were not equipped with parachutes in this era.

The Japanese reconnaissance plane crashed near the Jinsui Army's garrison in Shanxi, and the wreckage of the plane was billowing thick smoke on the ground.It is particularly conspicuous on the snow-covered land of Shanxi.

"Tower, I'm 101, the Japanese reconnaissance plane has been shot down by us, over."

"The tower received it."

After destroying the Japanese reconnaissance plane, the two-aircraft formation performing the team cruise mission continued to patrol according to the original route.

After Zhang Shijie learned that the patrol unit of the Red Police Force had shot down the Japanese reconnaissance plane, he immediately called the head of the engineering construction corps and asked him, "How long will it take for our radar station to be built?"

"Head, it will probably take three to four days."

"I'll give you two days, and the radar station must be built within two days!"

"Yes! Captain!"

At this time, the devil aviation was really rampant in China. Zhang Shijie didn't even think that just a reconnaissance plane would dare to carry out reconnaissance missions over the Jinsui army garrison.

This not only shows the madness of the little devil, but also shows how powerless the Chinese Air Force is at this time.

What Zhang Shijie thought of at this time was the shortcomings of the entire base area in terms of air search and detection capabilities, so Zhang Shijie urgently asked the engineering construction team to complete the construction of the radar station as quickly as possible.

At this time, the engineering construction team was already busy.

In the entire Dagushan base area, there are too many construction projects being carried out at the same time!
Airports, highways, radar stations, mountain excavation, and a large number of preparatory work for the factory in the later stage, these tasks are all on the head of the engineering construction team at this time.

Although compared with other production and construction troops, the engineering construction corps has the largest number of people, but their task load is also the largest!

So when Zhang Shijie was thinking about the next action plan, Liu Zhijun, the head of the engineering construction team, found Zhang Shijie again and said: "Head, our engineering construction team is really short of manpower now, can you see if we can make up for it?" Some manpower?"

Zhang Shijie was also surprised when he heard the words, but then he nodded in relief, and took him back to the base space to recruit personnel.

In the current situation, the base area of ​​the Red Police Force has a large stall, and a large number of engineering plans have begun to be launched.Although the current engineering construction team has exceeded 1 people, it is definitely not enough for such a project!

Even among the current construction workers, there are still a large number of villagers hired from surrounding villages.

Otherwise, the construction of the entire base area will almost come to a halt.

After arriving at the base space, Zhang Shijie led Liu Zhijun to recruit [-] construction militiamen and related supporting personnel, and then sent Liu Zhijun and a group of militiamen back to the world of Bright Sword.

Thanks to the establishment of two technological oil production wells, Zhang Shijie has a stable source of capital income.And because the refinery in the base area has not yet been built, the two high-tech oil production wells have been switching base funds.

The fund of a technological oil production well is converted to 200 base funds per hour, and now two scientific and technological oil production wells are converted to base funds at the same time, 9600 funds per day!

The small income of [-] yuan a day also made Zhang Shijie's base a lot richer.

Looking at the production plan of the troops in the barracks, and thinking about the overall number of troops now, Zhang Shijie recruited the fourth company, support company and air defense company of the second battalion.

At present, the existing combat strength of the Red Police Force has a fully formed third battalion and three dissatisfied battalions.

The second battalion currently has a battalion headquarters, four infantry companies, a mortar company, an air defense company and a support company.

The artillery battalion currently has a 122mm howitzer battery.

The air defense battalion currently has a dual 37mm anti-aircraft gun company, a 57mm anti-aircraft gun company, and an air defense command and observation company.

In fact, Zhang Shijie originally wanted to recruit another full-scale battalion today, but after recruiting the militia forces, it was impossible for Zhang Shijie's remaining funds to recruit any of the three dissatisfied battalions.

Moreover, Zhang Shijie must reserve a part of the base funds, so that he can not only recruit a batch of urgently needed troops before the battle, but also need funds to open the plane bridge back to 2018.

Looking at the newly recruited troops, Zhang Shijie's fear of insufficient firepower began to occur again.

"The fire support force of the entire army seems to be a bit small!" Zhang Shijie murmured looking at the current existing troops.

Therefore, Zhang Shijie recruited two 122mm howitzers and a double 37mm anti-aircraft gun company.

This time the firepower should be almost the same!

Zhang Shijie looked at the newly recruited troops and said happily.

And just when Zhang Shijie led the troops back to the world of Liangjian, Zhang Ning said anxiously to Zhang Shijie: "Chief, we are short of food!"

It can be seen that Zhang Ning was really anxious, even subconsciously calling him the chief.

"Huh?! Didn't we still have hundreds of tons of grain at that time? Although we have a lot more people now, it is impossible for us to be short of grain in such a short period of time!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ning explained: "Chief, the bulk of the food consumption is not ours, but the wages for the common people!" Zhang Ning explained to Zhang Shijie the whereabouts of the food in the base area.

A large number of villagers have participated in the construction of the base area of ​​the Red Police Force.

In the beginning, the construction scale of the entire base area was relatively small, so the number of villagers recruited was limited.But during this period, the time limit for confidential projects is relatively urgent, and there is only one easiest and most effective way to speed up the time limit, and that is to add people!
Due to the urgent need for manpower for confidential projects, a large number of militiamen were mobilized for infrastructure projects, resulting in a shortage of manpower for other projects.

Fortunately, the level of confidentiality of these infrastructure projects is not high, and a large number of villagers can be recruited, but this is where the consumption of food is.

Since there is no unified banknote in the base area, Zhang Shijie does not have a border ticket, and Zhang Shijie will print a large number of banknotes in the future, and giving banknotes is equivalent to exploiting these poor people in disguise.Therefore, in all the engineering projects in the entire base area, the Red Police Force used food as payment to the villagers.

And food is also what they need most for these ordinary people.

Even many ordinary people in the surrounding area heard that there is work here, not only providing food but also taking care of food, so they moved their families to the actual control area of ​​​​the Red Police base area to live.

With the passage of time, more and more people came from the surrounding villages, and more and more people joined the construction. Up to now, tens of thousands of people have participated in the infrastructure construction in the base area.But with more and more people, food consumption is getting faster and faster.

Zhang Shijie sighed after listening to Zhang Ning's report, and then asked, "How long can the food in the base area last?"

"If the population does not change, with the current expenditure, we can still supply food for two and a half months, but..."

When he heard Zhang Ning's words, Zhang Shijie also understood what he wanted to express.

At present, the main tone of the entire army is development. If it needs development, it must need people, and the main combat force of the Red Police Force needs to be continuously increased. It is simply unrealistic to maintain the current consumption rate.

Not to mention, just now Zhang Shijie recruited 4000 militiamen and six companies of combat troops, and this time alone nearly 7000 people were recruited!
I don't know how many people will be recruited in the future!

In this way, with the current grain reserves, Zhang Shijie estimates that he can continue to supply for more than a month.

"This time, let's go to Sun Zhipeng and the others to purchase a batch of food for emergency! Next, we should prepare the agricultural production plan for next spring."

"Yes! Chief!"

Afterwards, Zhang Shijie and Zhang Ning returned to the 2018 world. While explaining to Sun Zhipeng to purchase food, they also brought the industrial equipment recently transferred to the factory to the world of swords.

The procurement plan explained by Zhang Shijie this time includes 5000 tons of staple food, [-] tons of meat, eggs, milk, and a large amount of vegetables and fruits.

Moreover, the world is about to enter winter in 2018. In the Northeast, you can purchase large quantities of vegetables such as radishes, cabbage, and potatoes at market prices to supplement the vitamins of the poor people in the Liangjian world.

Sun Zhipeng suggested to Zhang Shijie: "Sir, why don't we open a chicken farm as soon as possible, so that there will be a basic source of meat supply, not only meat, but even the supplement of eggs can reduce our economic growth in the world in 2018." expenditure."

Zhang Shijie heard the words and said: "It's still winter in the world of Liangjian. According to the previous grain production, we can't even feed people. Where can we get the extra grain to be used as feed? Farms must be established, but not now!"

In fact, the protein supplement in the base area has a lot to do with the current grain production. Zhang Shijie also has his own considerations for this.

The definition of food is very broad, and it is not as simple as everyone simply thinks.

Internationally, food is mainly divided into three types according to its use: rations, feed grains, and industrial grains.

Rations are the familiar grains such as rice and white flour that are directly used for human consumption, while feed grains are used for animal husbandry production. Although the two have common crops, they are not the same thing.

Feed grains are generally processed waste, such as soybeans, corn and other crops left after oil extraction, which are used to feed livestock.

As for Bright Sword World, there isn't even enough food for people, so where is the extra ration to feed the livestock?

To solve these basic problems, Zhang Shijie must first solve the agricultural productivity of the base area. After all, people can only talk about raising livestock when they are full!

This requires the introduction of grain varieties in an all-round way after the spring of 39, and the use of chemical fertilizers produced in the base areas. When there is surplus grain, it is time to engage in animal husbandry.

After explaining the task to Sun Zhipeng, Zhang Shijie led Zhang Ning and the soldiers to return the industrial equipment supported by Zhong Hua recently to the world of Bright Sword.Then Zhang Shijie began to ask Zhang Shijie to notify the head of the agricultural production team to report and discuss the next step of agricultural development.

Zhang Shijie can't wait for the beginning of spring to start discussions and preparations. He can only finish discussing the plan and make preparations before the beginning of spring, and then implement it directly in the beginning of spring.

If it really waits until after the beginning of spring, the whole year's harvest will be in vain!
