The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

State of Zhao, Handan. The officer’s cafeteria of the General Staff. Li Mu is eating a large bowl of noodles. With the large-scale popularization of wheat in the north, various kinds of pasta appeared. Steamed buns and buns also appeared one after another. This is much earlier than history. Of course. These foods are also promoted because of their popularity. Otherwise, this kind of food will not be promoted on a large scale, especially in Zhao State. Noodles, steamed buns, and steamed buns are their favorite foods. In Yan State, steamed buns are almost the same as dumplings. One of the most welcoming food that welcomes guests.

"If the army can eat hot noodles when fighting, I think morale will improve a lot." Li Mu said after eating a bite of noodles. He is really a good officer, a good soldier, and he can't do without his old skills.

"General, this noodle is a bit troublesome. If it is not eaten in time, it will get knotted. And it won't taste good if it is completely cold. The rice on the battlefield is completely cold when delivered. This noodle is a bit difficult." The lieutenant colonel's staff shook his head and said.

"Yes, sir, although this noodle is delicious, it is not suitable for the front line. I think it is more cost-effective to serve rice, at least cold. There is no problem." Another staff nodded in agreement.

At present, military foods in various countries have generally developed into canned foods and easy-to-use foods such as biscuits. Canned foods can include canned meat and canned fruits, which can greatly meet people's basic needs. Moreover, the storage time is long, which can greatly meet the needs of combat readiness. In this regard, all countries generally benefit, and it is convenient to transport. But there are also disadvantages to canned food. For example, canned meat is to reduce costs as much as possible. After all, military purchases are large orders and there are more discounts, but many things have costs. Therefore, in order to reduce costs, there is less meat. , Starch is the biggest feature, plus, corn, sweet potatoes, these crops from America are planted. The amount of starch obtained is much higher than that of wheat. As a result, the content of starch is further increased, and canned food, in the words of soldiers, basically cannot taste the taste of meat. Canned meat should be renamed, it should be called, canned starch. But the military expenditure is so much, it is basically good to have food. If we put it before, we simply cannot achieve such a large-scale military ration reserve.

In addition to starch, canned meat also has a shortcoming. If you eat too much, you will be thirsty, because in order to greatly supplement the physical consumption of soldiers, a lot of salt is added to the canned food. In this way, they can be satisfied with themselves. Basic needs, but this has brought a big trouble, that is thirsty, soldiers will need a lot of water, but some environments on the battlefield simply do not provide such opportunities, for example, the arid Persian region . In the tropics, the situation is better, but fighting in the desert is definitely a life-threatening choice.

In addition to canned meat, there are also canned fruits, which are mainly produced in a large number of mountainous areas. Zhao Guo produces some Yamanashi. Canned food such as apples and canned oranges are mainly provided in places like Chu, and Qin also has them, concentrated in the Bashu area, but these cans need to be imported. South Korea has a lot of canned food, and soldiers like to eat canned pineapple. Most of the canned food obtained by the soldiers of the State of Zhao were cheap canned sorbus or canned apples, because these were produced by themselves and were cheap. The more expensive pineapple, orange, and other flavors. Most have been taken away before distribution. Rarely, there are such cans in the hands of soldiers. The military officer will privately detain such cans.

In addition to canned food, there are candies, but most of the candies are milk candies. Fruit-flavored candies are relatively rare, because fruit-flavored candies are relatively expensive.

This is also a special situation in the market. Then there is tea. The tea that the soldiers get is never the best. Even though the tea bags are distributed, if some soldiers have a slightly better taste, you can find out which kind of tea they send is the worst. If you open it In the case of tea bags, you will find that some of them are not tea leaves, and there are some unknown leaves. They can only scold each other for being a black-hearted supplier. The military's stuff will also be supplied in this way. They are making money and making money crazy.

Fortunately, Zhao has relatively few foreign operations, and when large-scale military reserves are replaced, it will export and provide some countries that Zhao thinks are good, such as Persia, Carthage, and other regions. These military soldiers are for those soldiers. , Is a good thing, but for Zhao Jun, this is no longer a good thing. This will make their losses quite serious.

"I have to admit, even though the current military food is much better than before in our time." Li Mu said. Recalling the past, the soldiers did not have any taste, eating meat is already a very powerful thing. Ordinary soldiers can fill their stomachs, even if they are not bad. This kind of thing is basically a benefit to them.

"But the soldiers eat well. We can fight well. We must pay more attention to logistical matters. Think about it more for the soldiers, and we must focus on such a thing from this aspect, you know?" Li Mu said. . Li Mu believes that a bowl of noodles, especially hot noodles, has a great effect on restoring morale to soldiers. Staff officers may not understand such a situation. Hot food will make soldiers feel warm. This warmth comes from there. Bowl of noodles. Heat will be transferred. It's a pity that officers like them basically don't consider the extremely trivial ideas of soldiers.

What Li Mu may not know is that in some areas, there is actually such a kind of food, and this kind of food is instant noodles. However, instant noodles in this period have not yet been promoted on a large scale. This kind of food is only sold in a small range on the streets of Korea. In fact, it is similar to the early noodles, except that it is fried once on the basis of the noodles. Korean snacks are relatively large and the traffic is very large. If cooking according to the traditional method, it will take a long time. Under normal circumstances, customers will not wait too long. This is a big deal for noodles. Great flaw. As a result, some people used their brains. The noodles are made into semi-finished products before they are made. The effect of dried noodles is not very good and the taste is relatively poor. However, if it is fried, the toughness of the food will be maintained. In this way, the taste of the food will become very good. stand up. At the same time, it saves a lot of time. I have to say that this is a great invention. However, this is only done on a small scale. Their greatest need is to meet people’s needs for fast food. This kind of need can satisfy their satisfaction to a large extent.

With material satisfaction, many inventions have become more numerous, although food is only a small category. But such a small classification shows that the demand for food materials will become very, very large. For example, the supply of starch. Food oil used for frying. It is said that some foods need olive oil from Nanyang to satisfy the processing of some special foods, and these all show that the people's living standards have been greatly improved. These are also basic requirements for food to meet people's basic needs.

The advancement of people's food has led to the improvement of military food. Civil food is a huge potential of military food. Once a war breaks out, the ability to mobilize war will rapidly increase. Countries seem to have realized this. They all stimulate the development of their own enterprises to varying degrees. They hope to be able to Suddenly increasing the cost of food supplies in a relatively short period of time is the best way to maintain the war.

Love a few, Thebes. South Korea’s Mediterranean Fleet Headquarters, the combat department within the combat staff.

"Damn it, is the Admiralty crazy? Now most of the warships are concentrated in Carthage, what warship do we take to that place, one or two warships, what's the point?" a navy lieutenant colonel said with extreme dissatisfaction.

"Damn it, keep your voice down, you can't say that about this kind of thing," a colonel said to his men.

"Yes, sir, but sir, it doesn't make much sense to do this," said the lieutenant colonel.

"Anyway, this is an order. Since it is an order, we can do this, and we all know the situation there. There may not be many enemies. Under such circumstances, we can do this. In that case, we Why not do this. So, this kind of thing still has to be carried out. This is not an unacceptable thing for us." The colonel said.

"But, sir, is this okay?" the lieutenant colonel asked his sergeant.

"Although this is an order. But we have to pay attention to it. In Shiraz, many places are weaker than we thought. Maybe we can open such things with a few shots. Our main purpose is It is in exchange for the right to open trade, not other. The meaning of the artillery is not to destroy, but to open the country. As for other things, we can't do anything." The colonel said.

"But if the war is further expanded, or if it is a war, what shall we do?" the lieutenant colonel asked.

"Yes, this question is a good question. Then, let's ask the **** naval aviation forces to see if they are willing to try bombing. If they want, we can do so. In this way, we are considered to have completed the mission. , You said, right?" said the colonel.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant colonel nodded.
