My girlfriend is from 1949

"Type 87 camouflage training uniform, 10 million sets, including two pairs of liberation shoes, one pair of winter cold-proof military cap and socks, priced at 300 yuan."

When Zhao Zhiyuan looked through the clothes, he subconsciously glanced at the leader next to him.

After all, directly labeling it as Type 87 camouflage uniform would involve military use.

in the country, anything involving military use is highly sensitive.

Even military products that have long been phased out are still attracting attention.

After all, the domestic military has phased it out, and it is now used for civilian purposes even without rank insignia.

Moreover, because of its good quality and durability, many migrant workers like to wear it.

But a single order of ten million sets, including replacement of military caps and shoes, clearly indicates that it was intended for use by the military.

As someone dispatched by the National Security Bureau, I am naturally very sensitive to these things.

Although it is considered a civilian product in the country.

However, it remains a mainstream military product in Third World countries.

The military uniforms of neighboring Vietnam and Myanmar are very similar in color and style to the Type 65 military uniform.

So, out of professional habit, I immediately became alert and turned my attention to my superiors.

Such a large purchase volume requires the approval of the leadership.

Zhou Liming remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Or rather, purchasing obsolete military uniforms was something that was expected.

If the think tank's analysis is correct, then in the historical timeline, it was May 1950.

That is, a new round of uniform replacement will begin in about a year.

However, since we can now buy them from the modern world, it naturally saves us the trouble of making them ourselves.

After all, the new China was too poor, so every little bit saved counted.

The saved fabric can be used to buy new clothes for the people.

It's important to know that in 1949, the total national cotton production was only 44.4 tons, and there was a severe shortage of raw materials for cotton cloth.

The average person has 7 feet of fabric, not even enough to make a shirt for an adult.

War damage, transportation disruptions, and coastal blockades made distribution difficult, and cotton mills in Shanghai and other places had less than 20 days' worth of inventory.

New clothes for three years, old clothes for three years, patched and mended for another three years – this is a true reflection of the lives of ordinary people today.

In 1950, replacing the uniforms of 500 million troops required a considerable amount of fabric.

However, as a legitimate sovereign state, military uniforms are indispensable.

Therefore, even under difficult conditions, a change must be made.

But things are different now.

With the support of a modern industrial powerhouse, a mere ten million sets of military uniforms are like a warm-up exercise.

Any large garment factory can produce 200 million pieces a day.

Ten million pieces is just a five-day production run at full capacity; isn't that just a warm-up?

Moreover, the price is not the usual wholesale price.

Of course, this is under the condition that everything is ready and production is in full swing.

In practice, even top-tier manufacturers only produce tens of millions of units a year.

By entrusting the procurement to Zhao Zhiyuan, Chen Huai'an essentially handed it over to the state for allocation.

Such a great gesture deserves some reciprocation.

For example, the purchase price cannot be calculated based on the company's wholesale price, but rather on the price of military procurement wholesale.

Not only must the price be lower, but the quality and quantity must also be guaranteed, just like military procurement!

If they dared to post something online that would tear so easily, Chen Huai'an would definitely make sure the general manager of this state-owned enterprise is replaced tomorrow!

Two hundred yuan for a set, and the quality is already top-notch.

And this is just the beginning. Next year, when the new China makes money, it can purchase more military uniforms to export and earn foreign exchange.

It's not just China that's short of clothes; other countries need them too.

Of course, once things calm down, we will eventually purchase machines to produce them ourselves.

Modern procurement is only a temporary measure.

Currently, besides not having enough capacity to manufacture it themselves, another reason for purchasing it is to stimulate the P of the modern world and boost domestic demand.

It can be considered as two dimensions, mutually supporting each other within the same color.

The modern economy is sluggish, and all industries are struggling.

If other clothing besides military uniforms could be purchased annually, it would be a huge boon to the entire industry chain.

The government recognized this and therefore provided unwavering support.

Zhou Liming asked with a smile, "Are your clients planning to change to new military uniforms next year?"

Zzzzz!

Lin Wan narrowed her eyes, a hint of wariness flashing in them.

You can tell from their tone that they are testing their limits.

Although his superiors had given instructions, he immediately became vigilant, a habit he had developed over many years as an underground party member.

Chen Huai'an paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, I originally planned to make it myself and change into the costume next May."

However, the country was not wealthy, and the production of cotton fabric was also very low.

So they entrusted me to purchase it from our side.

This is the first batch; several more batches of training uniforms and service uniforms will be purchased subsequently.

Once the country makes money, it will definitely need to change to regular uniforms, which also represent the image of a country's military.

After reviewing the materials from later generations, the central government decided to improve the image of the military as soon as possible and align it with international standards.

The decision to go straight to the Type 87 was clearly made with future rank considerations in mind.

In the past, the new China was like crossing a river by feeling for stones; now, with the answer to the future world laid out before it, it can simply follow suit.

Of course, it's selective copying; we definitely need to find ways to avoid anything bad.

The Type 87 military uniform, paired with a warm military overcoat, could even be used during the Korean War.

In the freezing cold, just like in the original game, you can buy a batch of white cloths to drape over your body for disguise.

The main expense of the 300 yuan set price is the shoes.

Two pairs of liberation shoes are cheap, I'd sell them for half price or even give them away for free.

The expensive items are winter shoes!

When the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered Korea, many soldiers suffered frostbite on their feet and refused to leave the battle, resulting in non-combat casualties.

Moreover, since the ten fingers are connected to the heart, if the feet are warm, the body will also be warm.

Therefore, the cost of this batch of shoes was approximately 200 yuan.

When Zhou Liming heard that he would be changing into a military uniform next May, his smile became even brighter.

It also added a touch of sincerity.

Can't you hear it? The "changing clothes next May" refers to May 1950.

The other party's honest response shows great sincerity.

Except for not revealing the secret yet, it's basically an open secret.

Zhou Liming nodded: "I'll contact the manufacturer for you, and I guarantee it will meet military supply requirements!"

Although purchasing for military purposes would reduce the manufacturer's profit margin.

But it's a huge order worth 30 billion, which will definitely make those super factories compete for it.

If Chen Huai'an doesn't have enough cash, the government can provide interest-free loans.

However, even a super factory cannot complete orders in a short period of time.

With current transportation profitability, it's still sufficient to cope.

Besides these light industrial products, the rest is the procurement of weapons and equipment.

The most eye-catching of them all are the 100 J-6 fighter jets.

This is preparation for air combat with US fighter jets during the Korean War next year.

By exploiting the generational gap and eliminating all American fighter jets, we can gain complete air superiority.

Then, we purchased a batch of old-fashioned bombers from our Soviet big brother... which were considered advanced in 1949.

This will allow the UN forces to experience the pain of being bombed unilaterally without air power!
