Chapter 27 Confident Captain Li

The breeding base was not something Huang He came up with on a whim. He had seen too many skinny and malnourished comrades during this period.

We have said before that the devils were very good at hand-to-hand combat.

It often takes more than two soldiers to fight against a small devil, and they need to form a formation to fight against him.

But this does not mean that the bullshit Bushido is very powerful, but it reflects that the physical fitness of our soldiers is not as good as that of the devils.

Without meat to eat, the nutrients needed by the human body cannot be taken in, and even the most powerful soldiers will be at a disadvantage when wrestling with the devils.

As a member of the logistics department, Huang He is determined to make his comrades live better, and he cannot help but solve this problem.

And with his experience in the future, he also knows what the best way to deal with it is.

That is to introduce foreign pigs and beautify the pork in advance. With the blessing of the system civilian factory, this idea is not impossible.

The Chinese table cannot be separated from pork, just like the red god of war cannot be without an ice pick.

Each province has a unique way to cook pork.

Roujiamo, Baozirou, Hongshaorou, Shuizhurou, Guobaorou represent the plasticity of pork.

For the Eighth Route Army soldiers, pork is a rare good thing. A pig is often only the best in the whole regiment competition.

Whenever they can eat a bite of pork during festivals, it is the taste of the year for the soldiers to reminisce.

The pigs on the land of the motherland now are very different from those in later generations.

If you ask a modern person what color a pig is, the answer he gives you must be pink and white.

But at this time, our local pigs are black, and even Zhu Bajie of that era has a black face and short hair.

The names of pigs in ancient books are either black ghosts or black-faced men.

In modern animal husbandry, there are many factors to judge the quality of a piece of pork. The one related to the taste of pork is the intramuscular fat.

This word refers to the fine fat between the muscle bundles and muscle fibers of pork. We can't see it with the naked eye. It determines whether a piece of pork is delicious and fragrant.

For the native pigs raised by the common people in the base area, their intramuscular fat content is most suitable for the Chinese stomach.

To put it bluntly, it is delicious and makes people happy.

The domestic pigs of the common people are often their lifeblood. Even if there are fellow villagers who really want to send pigs to the army, the Eighth Route Army, who love the people like their own children, will refuse.

The domestic pork supply is in short supply, and now it is in the war years, and there is no channel for trade.

Because pigs can neither ride to fight nor help farmers to cultivate the land, their status for a long time is even worse than that of pigs.

In addition, due to scattered breeding, even in the early 20th century, the number of domestic pigs did not exceed 40 million.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, we had a population of 400 million, and an average of ten people were allocated one pig.

How can this be eaten? It is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth.

Moreover, the growth cycle of native pigs is very long. Even farmers with rich breeding experience can only maintain a growth rate of 400 grams a day at most.

So after working hard for a year, there are only 200 kilograms of meat.

Moreover, it is not easy for a village to have such an experienced person.

Before the number of native pigs is increased, a breeding base is established. There is simply not enough food for the entire army and division, and even once a week cannot be guaranteed.

Compared with Chinese native pigs, foreign pigs have an advantage of being very hardworking. That is, they eat less and grow faster.

From the perspective of feed-to-meat ratio, foreign pigs are far better than Chinese native pigs.

The three major bullies of foreign pigs are large white pigs, landrace pigs, and Duroc pigs.

Their growth rate can even reach 700 to 900 grams a day, and it only takes six months from birth to being put into the pot, which is really crushing compared to native pigs.

And native pigs have no advantage in terms of litter rate.

Before the introduction of foreign pigs, farmers were attracted to native pigs because they could give birth to ten piglets in one litter.

However, after generations of breeding and improvement, foreign pigs directly crushed native pigs in terms of litter rate, reaching a terrifying figure of eighteen pigs in one litter.

In modern farms, pigs often do not have a loving life with each other.

Even boars, who are known as masters of time management, can only deal with 25 sows at most at a time.

However, if artificial insemination is used, a boar can fight one against a hundred, and the highest mating rate can reach 1:500.

So in order to pursue production efficiency, artificial insemination is definitely the best option.

But a new problem arises. The fighting power of our native pigs' tadpoles is not as strong as that of foreign pigs.

Although most people prefer to eat fat meat now, what is there to choose in this situation? It's good to have something to eat.

"Black pig hair is also difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, it will be dirty black spots."

Considering all the advantages and disadvantages above, the cost of breeding a native pig is even twice that of a foreign pig.

If you are a pig farmer, what would you choose? From the perspective of economic efficiency, of course it is a foreign pig, which is also the result of consumer selection.

The biggest advantage of native pigs compared to foreign pigs is that they are delicious, but what the base needs most now is not exquisiteness but large quantity to satisfy the hunger.

Our troops need a lot of meat to replenish the energy consumption of the soldiers and improve their physical fitness on a large scale.

Huang He now has a total of two civilian workers and one military industry. Currently, the military industry needs to continuously supply bullets to the troops. This is the cornerstone of the troops and must not be moved.

"The chemical plant is a military factory recognized by the system. In addition to providing raw materials in reality, the system can also directly provide weapons. But there is no scientific research now, so we can only give bullets."

The civilian workers have been trading copper for two months. This batch of raw materials needs to be digested by the base for a period of time.

So Huang He plans to use these civilian factories to exchange some piglets. When the piglets grow up, some of them will be exchanged with the people for some native pigs for hybrid breeding of new pig breeds, and some will be used for daily consumption of the troops.

The monthly production capacity of a civilian factory can be exchanged for 2,000 piglets, which is a bit beyond Huang He's expectations.

Xinyi Regiment Station in Xingjia Village.

On Li Yunlong's kang, he was drinking with three battalion commanders and summarizing the post-war.

Li Yunlong was very satisfied with the results of this operation, but post-war reflection is a necessary skill for every excellent commander.

"Hey, hey, hey, you bastards, drink less. You will be bright with some sunshine, but what should I do if you finish the wine?"

Looking at the somewhat exasperated Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao deliberately said with a smirk: "Captain, you are the one who tells us every day that we should be honest."

Li Yunlong was not angry when he heard Zhang Dabiao's words.

"When you see wine, you act like a woman. You have no ambition at all."

"This time I plan to apply to the superiors for a commendation for your commando team. We have captured a regiment flag of the devil."

"The headquarters will definitely arrange publicity at that time. I will show you guys."

At this time, Zhang Dabiao hesitated to speak, but finally made up his mind to tell a piece of gossip.

"Our New 1st Regiment fought well this time, but we also got into trouble. I said before the breakout that disobeying orders on the battlefield will cause trouble."

Li Yunlong was a little tipsy. He looked at the people opposite with blurry eyes and said:

"Trouble? I won the battle, so I should be rewarded!"

"The bosses are all reasonable people. I just broke through from the front, and the situation was special at the time. We had no choice."

As if he thought of something happy, he showed his big white teeth with some pride.

"And the brigade commander is also wearing the same pants with us this time. Don't worry, you kid, there won't be any trouble."

Just when Li Yunlong felt that he had won, the brigade commander with a serious face walked in.

He looked at the wine bottles on the table and announced the orders of his superiors expressionlessly.

"Li Yunlong, the punishment from the headquarters has come down, you go raise pigs for me!"

Today's joke is, Ice Pick God of War!
