Chapter 170: Autumn Harvest Campaign, a Great Grain Harvest
Eva is a standard blonde beauty, and her looks are comparable to Ling Liang.
One is an icy beauty from the East, the other is a hot Western beauty.
After Yuri left, Eva came to Jiang Hua's office to report.
The military uniform was well-tailored, outlining her well-proportioned figure. The belt was lightly tightened, revealing her slender waist while retaining her military skill.
Her legs are straight and slender, and the black combat boots add a touch of temptation.
"Commander, Eva reports to you!"
Eva, one of the superheroes of Red Alert, is also the commander's exclusive intelligence officer and personal bodyguard.
Possesses powerful intelligence processing capabilities and strong personal combat power.
Jiang Hua has also made arrangements for her position.
He served as the director of the Third Secretary Department of the General Office and concurrently served as confidential secretary and life secretary.
To a certain extent, it shared some of the duties of Xue Yun, Director of the General Office.
Jiang Hua looked at Eva with interest.
"If you and Yan Shuangying were to compete, who would be more powerful?"
As the commander's personal bodyguard, he must have very strong fighting power.
I just don't know who is stronger compared to the ace bodyguard Yan Shuangying.
Eva raised an eyebrow at the name.
"If we talk about security capabilities, we are on par with each other, but if we talk about military strength alone, I am not as good as him.
But I can also incapacitate him before he can knock me out."
Jiang Hua was a little surprised to hear Eva's words.
Although this Yan Shuangying is not the same Yan Shuangying, he has seen his fighting power with his own eyes.
Even an elite guard can take on ten people at once and not be at a disadvantage.
He is proficient in various techniques at the same time, and is like an all-round super soldier.
Eva's words clearly showed that her fighting ability was not weak.
The superheroes produced by the base are indeed quite capable.
If you look down on her just because she is a woman, you will definitely pay the price.
"From today on, you will serve as the Director of the Third Secretary Department, Confidential Secretary, and Personal Secretary. Report to Xue Yun."
"Yes, Commander!"
Watching Eva leave, Jiang Hua turned his attention back to the document in front of him.
This document was submitted by the Ministry of Agriculture and concerns the autumn harvest from early September to October.
Spring plowing and autumn harvest are the most important time points no matter which era they are in.
Especially this year's autumn harvest is related to whether a series of high-quality rice varieties can be successfully promoted, and it is also related to the food and clothing issues of hundreds of millions of people in the north.
Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture began to organize grassroots personnel to launch a major autumn harvest campaign.
We must ensure that this year's autumn harvest can be completed smoothly and stably.
Jiang Hua is also very much looking forward to this year's autumn harvest.
Agriculture, industry and people's livelihood are his three key areas of concern.
Agriculture is related to people's food and clothing, industry and economy are closely related, and people's livelihood is related to all aspects.
Whether the people can have enough food to eat is undoubtedly the most important issue.
As time passed, it soon came to the end of September.
On the southeast coast of Sumatra Island in the Dutch colony in the South Pacific, base vehicle No. 3 drove onto the beach under the cover of darkness.
After driving for more than ten hours, the base vehicle arrived deep in the primitive jungle.
This area is located on the edge of a large coalfield and has very rich reserves, which are fully capable of supplying the No. 3 sub-base for full-scale mining.
At the same time, it is very close to the Singapore-Malaysia Strait, only less than 100 kilometers away.
With Jiang Hua's control, the No. 3 sub-base was successfully deployed.
A series of buildings including power plants, ore refineries, mining vehicles, barracks, logistics centers, armored factories, etc. began to be built one after another.
Although Branch No. 3 is currently only a resource-based branch base, it also needs a certain amount of armed forces to protect it.
If possible, Jiang Hua would not mind occupying the island to achieve the goal of controlling the Singapore-Malaysia Strait.
Although it is not as convenient as Malay Island, occupying this place will not be so controversial and will not attract the attention of John's country.
Otherwise, given their trouble-making nature, they would definitely interfere.
In just a few days, the No. 3 branch base was fully deployed.
At this time, the base's capital mining efficiency has reached saturation, with more than 5 million in revenue every day.
The replacement of the troops' uniforms can also be put on the agenda.
The replacement, reorganization and expansion of all troops must be completed before April next year.
Because April 4st was the day when Jiang Hua led his troops south, sweeping away warlords from all sides and unifying the ancient country.
The General Staff has also begun to formulate relevant combat plans and action plans.
"Chairman, the Ministry of Agriculture has submitted the statistical data on the Autumn Harvest Campaign."
Jiang Hua was immediately shocked after hearing Xue Yun's report.
"show me!"
The data reported by the Ministry of Agriculture is very detailed.
Currently, the entire Fuxing government governs 12 provinces with a population of over million, equivalent to one-third of the country's total population.
The area of arable land also saw a surge after the three northern provinces were taken over.
It has directly increased from more than 2 million mu to 4.5 million mu, of which half is cultivated land in the three northern provinces alone.
Especially in Heilongjiang Province, not only is the land fertile, but it is also located in a plain area.
Heilongjiang Province, Qidong Province, and Central Plains Province are also major agricultural provinces that are the focus of the Executive Yuan's planning.
Except for Qidong Province, these three provinces will focus on developing agricultural-related industrial chains, and the development of heavy industry will be weakened.
As long as the arable land area in these three provinces is guaranteed, there will be no problem with the food supply for more than 100 million people in the entire north.
Of the 4.5 million mu of arable land, only 8700 million mu is used to grow high-quality rice.
These 8700 million mu of arable land are mainly used to grow rice and wheat, which is basically divided in half.
The average yield of high-quality rice grown there reached about 240 kilograms per mu.
The highest yield per mu of the original top-grade fields would not exceed 200 kilograms, and the average yield per mu of the lower-grade and lowest-grade fields was only about 120 kilograms.
The average per-acre yield of high-quality rice has doubled, which shows how much the quality of high-quality rice has improved.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the people's meticulous farming and fertilization.
These 4000 million mu of arable land provide 96 billion kilograms of rice.
The average wheat yield per mu has also increased from about 70 kilograms to 150 kilograms.
Although it cannot be compared with the hybrid rice and wheat in modern times, this output is already quite large for that era.
These 4500 million mu of arable land provide 67.5 billion kilograms of wheat.
These 8700 million mu of arable land provide a total of 163 billion kilograms.
Of the remaining 3.7 million mu of arable land, 2 million mu is used for rice cultivation, and about 1.7 million mu is used for wheat and other crops.
The average per-mu rice yield of these 2 million mu of arable land has also increased to about 150 kilograms after fertilization.
Although the increase is not significant, it is still very considerable compared to the total amount.
These 2 million mu of arable land produced 300 billion kilograms of rice.
The average wheat yield also increased significantly, from 70 kilograms to 100 kilograms, and the total yield reached 170 billion kilograms.
The total grain output adds up to 633 billion kilograms.
According to last year's statistics, the country's annual grain output was only about 1200 billion kilograms.
The total area of arable land in the country is about 14 billion mu.
This year, the 12 provinces under the Fuxing government's jurisdiction produced half of last year's grain output with 4.5 million mu of arable land.
If distributed evenly among the 1.5 million people in the north, basically each person can get about 420 kilograms of food.
Although this grain output is not enough to eat freely, it can basically ensure that the people have enough food and clothing.
Jiang Hua no longer needs to spend a lot of money to exchange food from the base.
After seeing the output, Jiang Hua couldn't help but feel relieved.
Not only is he satisfied with the results of this autumn harvest, but the people in the 12 provinces will certainly be very satisfied after seeing it.
Basically, there is no problem in promoting high-quality rice varieties.
What's more, the base's technology has been upgraded to 55 years, and the output of high-quality rice seeds has also been slightly increased again.
He doesn't know the exact amount, but on average there is no problem in increasing the output by 10%.
Even if calculated based on this year's per-acre yield.
Of the 4.5 million mu of arable land, about 2.5 million mu is used to grow rice and the remaining 2 million mu is used to grow wheat.
It can produce 600 billion kilograms of rice and 200 billion kilograms of wheat.
The increase from 633 billion kilograms to 800 billion kilograms is also a very gratifying achievement.
The agricultural sector has delivered satisfactory results, and Jiang Hua can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After the autumn harvest, Jiang Hua began to shift his focus to military construction.
Agriculture can solve the problem of people having enough food, while the army can determine whether the ancient country can be successfully unified.
Jiang Hua now has sufficient funds, so the replacement of both the army and the air force will be carried out simultaneously.
The army's equipment replacement mainly involves rifles, machine guns, towed artillery, rocket launchers, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery, various types of helicopters, etc.
Among the light weapons, the STG-44 assault rifle and the MG42 general-purpose machine gun constitute the light weapons system of the Renaissance Army.
As the base technology has been upgraded to 55 years, it means that this light weapons system that was born in the middle of World War II has become outdated.
Because with the end of World War II, a more excellent light weapons system emerged.
For example, the AK gun family.
The AK-47 assault rifle + RP-46 continuous machine gun + Dekash heavy machine gun constitute the new system of light weapons of the Renaissance Army.
