Chapter Thirty-Four: Military Uniforms

  "What about me?" Xiaoyan stood coolly in front of Yang Wei and Xia Xue, naturally, he also came to ask for a job.

  "What's up, Xia Xue? Do you want a personal assistant?"

  "A personal assistant, just like the secretary next to General Uncle? Why not? Having an assistant is so cool, it really shows that I'm a big shot!"

  "Alright, Xiaoshan, from now on you'll follow Xiasnow and also serve as her clerk with the rank of lieutenant." "Mm, not bad, not bad, little brother Xiaoshan, from now on you must listen to my words." "Got it." Xiaoshan still had that cool demeanor, who knows who he learned it from, and just like that he followed behind Xiasnow's back, entering a state of readiness.

  Actually, Xia Xue still likes Ying Zi a bit more, but although Ying Zi plays with Xia Xue quite well, she is still willing to be Yang Wei's follower. Naturally, Xia Xue can't gather Ying Zi, so she has no choice but to settle for second best.

  It's only natural that Xia Xue wouldn't go to see those big little friends of hers, after all, they're all in the same age group, and it wouldn't show off her prestige at all. Besides, those big little friends are all taller and more robust than her, you know, they've been eating meat all winter, if their bodies can't even recover from that, then what's the point?

  "Don't worry, you guys, let's take a look, we still have some positions to fill, and we'll get there slowly." Yang Wei looked at the other little buddies staring at him with eager eyes, so he gave them a reassurance. This matter needs to be taken slowly, but Yang Wei was confused, how did they end up coming to the military camp to accompany Xia Xue? And no one had even asked for their opinion, fortunately, they didn't have anything better to do, and naturally, the leader must think they were just a bunch of kids playing around, that's why he arranged for them to keep Xia Xue company.

  "Summer Snow, this is the food and vegetables for you, we had them delivered this time, next time you'll have to pick them up yourselves." It turned out that after Yang Wei said he was going to start a fire, Uncle Xia had someone deliver some vegetables and grain, naturally including some meat as well. However, they didn't deliver any firewood, mainly because they saw Yang Wei and the others bring back a lot of wood in their car, so it wasn't necessary to deliver firewood either. But they still told Summer Snow that after a while, when coal was delivered, they would also give them some. However, it wasn't until later that Yang Wei heard that these things were all purchased with the commander's own money, not taken from the army's supplies at a discount. Uncle Xia hadn't said anything either, and had also spent some of his own money.

  "Come on, comrades, it's time for us to have lunch." Suddenly, Yang Wei realized why the grain and other food had been sent over - because it was already noon, and in the army, they ate three meals a day, with no such thing as two meals.

  "Weizi, can we set up a dining hall?" Xia Xue suggested as she saw her little friends working together to cook a meal.

  "Heh heh, what a great idea! Let's establish a Logistics Chief, with the rank of Captain. He'll be in charge of our food and supplies. Of course, we don't have many people, so let's also make him the Head of the Rear Support Team. That's it, Rear Support Team Head, concurrently serving as Logistics Chief, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel." With that, this Logistics Chief got a one-level promotion in military rank, and it was even a cross-grade promotion.

  But who will be in charge of logistics? "Third son, from now on you are the head of logistics and also serve as the quartermaster. Your task is to take care of our food procurement and go with the troops to receive supplies. Logistics is responsible for all our logistical matters."

  And then, another new position was born.

  "Wei Zi, come and see if this style of clothing is okay?" After lunch, Xiaolian and the others started their busy work again. Soon, the first piece of clothing was freshly made - a small lapel collar upper garment in the style of late summer and early autumn wear.

  "Uh, not bad, it's just like this." "What? It looks terrible! Isn't this the same as the uniform of Jiang Guangtou's team?" Xia Xue pouted, thinking that Yang Wei would design something better than this.

  "Haha, no rush, wait until the whole set comes out, you won't oppose it then." Indeed, Yang Wei had thought of many styles for hats, whether domestic or foreign, present or future, but none of the female hats satisfied him. He couldn't design one himself, so he could only draw out the kind of female hat with a curved brim that would be popular in the future, regardless of whether it looked good or not. This was the only style Yang Wei could come up with. Actually, Yang Wei still preferred to have all the girls wear those boat-shaped hats, as he thought they looked best on them. But this couldn't be done, because Xia Xue had already expressed her opinion about the outfit, and if another boat-shaped hat were added, Xia Xue would get angry.

  The boy's hat, of course, had no unexpected style, it was a big-brimmed hat, which is the most majestic kind of hat. Naturally, Yang Wei still drew out that kind of later-generation training hat, this is an auxiliary style.

  The funniest thing is the hat badge designed by Yang Wei, which naturally also plagiarized the pagoda-style hat badge of later generations. The pattern on it is different, with two crossed steel guns at the bottom, supporting two bundles of unknown yellow flowers on both sides, and in the middle position is a large small character, meaning the first word of the Little Ghost Squad.

  The sleeve badge on the left arm is still the same as in later generations, but it's also made of steel gun stock flowers, with a large small character in the middle, and a row of words above that say "Little Devil Squad", below which are written job titles such as Captain, Deputy Captain, Logistics Captain, Uniform Factory Director, and Xiaoyue's Secretary, Yingzi's Guard Captain, etc. These are all embroidered with yellow thread, and naturally some people's sleeve badges still have the job title section blank, waiting for Yang Wei to come up with a job title to embroider on it.

  The shoulder badge features a yellow stripe with several small flowers, which are yellow with red stamens. The lieutenant's insignia consists of one horizontal line and four-petaled flowers, naturally, junior lieutenants have one flower, senior lieutenants have two, and first lieutenants have three, with the flowers pressed under the horizontal line. The school officer insignia features two horizontal lines, with five-petaled flowers and five stamens placed in the middle of the two lines.

  The buttons on this garment are made of copper buttons purchased from outside, but Yang Wei plans to make them himself when he has the ability, and for now, he doesn't have that capability. Since we're playing, let's play it out, and by now, it's already late June.

  At this time, the whole country of Huaxia was gathering troops from all over the country to this border, and the team led by Yang Wei had arrived a month ago.
