Chapter 373: Walking red, bowing green, riding black(1/3)
Soon, it will be evening.
After setting up camp, Li Mengxi got out of the car and stood beside the car for a long time, thinking about where to go.
After thinking about it for a while, it was right, it was the Carpenter Camp, so Li Mengxi went to the Carpenter Camp for a while to see if isinglass was also available, and whether the osprey boats in the Carpenter Camp could prevent leakage after being coated with the isinglass.
After staying at the Carpenter Camp for a while, Li Mengxi wanted to go to Liu Bei to discuss training.
During this period, he left the camp, walked far away, found a place to urinate far away from people, and then went to find Liu Bei.
Coincidentally, Liu Bei also came to see Li Mengxi.
Li Mengxi had just arrived at the Chinese military tent, and Liu Bei had just arrived at the carriage.
Liu Bei only saw Xiao Zhuan beside the car, playing with grass on the ground, but Li Mengxi was not there. "Zhuan'er, where is my brother?" Liu Bei asked.
Xiao Bian raised his head and said, "My brother didn't leave it here."
"Huh? Where did that go?" Liu Bei wondered.
When Li Mengxi arrived at the Central Army tent, he did not see Liu Bei either, so he asked Liu Bei where his soldiers were.
"Didn't the master come to find you?" the soldier said.
Li Mengxi then returned.
Speaking of Liu Bei, Liu Bei felt that if Li Mengxi was not here, he would usually be in the Carpenter Camp.
Liu Bei went to the carpenter camp to look for him.
Lu Li said, telling Liu Bei, "Not long after the military advisor left, he went to look for you in the military tent in the middle."
Liu Bei then returned to the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, Li Mengxi returned to the carriage and didn't see Liu Bei?
"Brick, did your Uncle Bei come to see me?" Li Mengxi asked his younger brother who was playing by the car.
"Here he comes." Xiao Bian said.
"Hey? Where did that person go?" Li Mengxi scratched his head.
Maybe Liu Bei came looking for it but couldn't find it, so he went back to the Chinese army's tent.
Li Mengxi then turned back and went to the Chinese army tent to look for him.
Over there, Liu Bei returned to the central military tent, and the soldiers said, "The military advisor just came here, but saw that the lord was not there, so he came back again."
Liu Bei nodded and went to find Li Mengxi again.
Liu Bei walked for a while, and Li Mengxi came over and asked the soldiers, where is Liu Bei?
The soldier's eyes widened, "My lord just came to find you."
Just like that, just like a joke, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei looked for each other, turned around in various circles, and finally met each other.
The Chinese Army Tent came looking for someone for the fourth time, but they just missed it again. The smart Li Mengxi simply stood under the commander's banner and refused to leave.
That day, thunder fell from the sky, and the handsome flag was struck by lightning. The flagpole was replaced with a new one, but the new flag was scrawled on it.
When Liu Bei came over again and found Li Mengxi.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
It was almost dark when I found someone.
"Xuan De Gong, there is a big shortcoming in our army." Li Mengxi looked at Liu Bei who was approaching and said quietly.
Then, Liu Bei and Li Mengxi stood under the flagpole of the handsome flag. Li Mengxi was talking and Liu Bei was listening. Li Mengxi pointed at the drooping banner with Liu characters on his head from time to time, and Liu Bei also looked up from time to time.
It can be seen that the content of their discussion was probably related to flags.
“Mr.
Just like when I was looking for you, you were not in the big tent, but were patrolling everywhere. How could I find you in such a short time?
By the time I searched the entire camp and found you, I had already been delayed for a long time.
You and I are both busy with work, and we can do a lot of things in a moment, so why waste time looking for someone?
Mr. Xuande, you can have your own soldiers carry a big flag to accompany you. Wherever you go, the big flag will also go. In this case, if I have something to look for you, the big flag will be high in the sky, clearly visible, and I will go to where the big flag is.
, find the right one.
If other people in the army are looking for you with some miscellaneous matters, wouldn't it be convenient if they see the flag towering and go straight away?
Suppose, if there are twenty things to discuss with Duke Xuande in one day, each matter will be delayed for twenty or thirty breaths. Twenty things will be five or six hundred breaths. One day's delay will be two-thirds of a quarter, and ten days will be enough.
This is more than six moments, and the accumulation of hundreds of days and thousands of days is extremely impressive.
This is normal time, so it doesn’t matter if we delay a little; if it’s wartime and we can’t find anyone in a hurry, wouldn’t it be critical?”
Li Mengxi made a detailed calculation for Liu Bei. He calculated how much time was wasted every day looking for people. Over time, how much time it added up. Liu Bei had never considered the problem from such a perspective. Now when he heard what Li Mengxi said,
It feels a bit refreshing.
"That's great!" Liu Bei sighed with emotion, rubbed his hands and praised, "I was unprepared before. If it weren't for Xi'er's wise eyes, I don't know when this omission would have been filled."
Liu Bei smiled and admired Li Mengxi greatly.
Regarding the flag system, Li Mengxi has given sufficient consideration. He said, "As for the details of the flag, I have already thought about it. I can start with the following three types to make distinctions. One is the style of the military flag, the second is the color of the military flag, and the third is the flag number.
The flags are distinguished by various colors, which are eye-catching even from a distance. The flag colors can be used to distinguish the arms, or the red flag is for infantry, the yellow flag is for crossbows, and the green flag is for cavalry.
Use the corner flag to identify the spear formation, use the square flag to identify the sword and shield soldiers, use the corner flag with a streamer to identify the mixed battalion of spearmen and shield soldiers, with the spearmen in front; use the square flag with the streamer to identify the mixed battalion of shield soldiers and spear soldiers.
, the shield soldiers are in front.
Double-horned flags are used to identify crossbow camps. Those with streamers are crossbow camps, and those without streamers are bow camps.
Then, there is the number on the flag, which indicates the rank of each battalion, starting from one, two, three, and four, in order, and then further distinguishing."
As soon as Li Mengxi told the details of the military flag, Liu Bei thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything that could be improved.
Let’s take the smallest detail. Li Mengxi said that the corner flag should be used to identify the spearmen and the square flag should be used to identify the shield soldiers. Why not do it the other way around?
Because Li Mengxi has already considered that the gun has a point when raised, so he uses a triangular flag. The shield soldier holds a shield in his hand, and the shield is square, so using a square flag is very intuitive and makes it easier to connect the arms and the flag.
, this is very important, as it can reduce the amount of memory and allow soldiers to quickly remember what the various military flags mean.
Liu Bei is also a human being, and he also has self-respect and the drive to refuse to admit defeat. Liu Bei has always admired Li Mengxi and admired his resourcefulness, but he admired him. What Li Mengxi could think of at such a young age, Liu Xuande, who was in his twenties, could not have imagined.
Awkward?
Liu Bei was competing with himself, and Li Mengxi had already told the details of the military flag. Even if he said a little more on the basis of what Li Mengxi said, the situation would be restored.
But Liu Bei scratched his head and thought over and over the details of the military flag markings proposed by Li Mengxi, but he couldn't think of anything that could be added or modified.
Liu Bei scratched his head thinking about it. Li Mengxi thought Liu Bei was thinking about the regulations on the use of military flags.
The two were silent for a long time.
After a while, Liu Bei was suddenly inspired. He raised his head suddenly and said excitedly, "Xi'er, since the flags can be distinguished by five colors, and the uniforms of the soldiers, why not also distinguish them by five colors? Make the cavalry wear red, make the infantry wear black, and make the bows wear red.
The crossbow is yellow, wouldn't it be more clear at a glance?"
Liu Bei suddenly shouted loudly, and Li Mengxi didn't know why Liu Bei seemed a little excited.
In addition to the colors of military flags, military uniforms can also be used as logos...
After thinking about it carefully, "Xuan Degong's plan is a wonderful one!" Li Mengxi praised him with his hands in his hands. In his previous life, the colors of the military uniforms of the navy, land and air force were also obviously different.
The Air Force is sky blue, the Navy is white, and the Army is green.
Why are the colors of the military uniforms of the three branches of arms so different? In fact, there is also knowledge.
The Army's green camouflage can be easily integrated into the ground vegetation environment during land operations and is not easily discovered by the enemy.
The navy wears white military uniforms, not to blend into the environment, but precisely to not blend into the environment.
White and blue are very conspicuous contrasting colors. The sea is blue and the navy's clothes are white. If there is an accident on the ship, the sailors will abandon the ship and escape, using swimming rings or rubber boats to float on the sea, wearing white clothes.
Rescuers can quickly spot a speck of white on the surface of the sea.
If the navy wears blue, it will be difficult to find.
As for infrared radar and the like, if the enemy launches a pulse bomb during a war, the infrared equipment cannot be used, and the human eye has to be used to search for the target.
As for the blue flight suit of the Air Force, Li Mengxi didn't quite understand why it was blue.
He guessed that it had the same purpose as the Army's green camouflage - for camouflage.
The sky is dark blue, and the pilot's flight suit is also blue. When the plane is about to crash, the pilot has to parachute. Then, the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, machine guns and other firepower are seen looking up from the ground. The pilot's blue suit
The flight suit blends in with the color of the sky, making it difficult to spot.
Therefore, the pilot's survival probability is increased.
This should be.
Although the color of military uniforms is a peripheral issue, there is room for discussion.
The color of military uniforms in the 21st century is different from that of the military uniforms of the Han Dynasty. Because the combat environment is different, they cannot be copied.
Generally speaking, the colors of military uniforms in different dynasties in the Central Plains were different. In the Qin Dynasty, the military uniforms were black.
