Flags, a flag system that is lacking in the army, according to Li Mengxi's understanding of sewing work, a small flag can be sewn in almost one day.

The day before yesterday, I handed over the fabric and flag pattern to the embroiderer Liu, and they should have been sewn today.

There is nothing to do during the day, except for writing something, thinking something, and teaching my brother two words, nothing else.

He wrote a full volume on the Art of War and couldn't think of anything else. His younger brother fell asleep again, and Li Mengxi had nothing to do.

Simply go and see if the flag is ready.

Li Mengxi asked Lao Tie, the coachman, to stop. He got off the car and rode the horse to the women's and children's camp behind.

In the women's and children's camp, Li Mengxi found the embroiderer Lady Liu, who took out several well-folded flags from her bag.

It seems that the flag has been made for a while, and Mrs. Liu cherishes the flag very much. After finishing it, she carefully put it in the bag for fear of getting dirty or getting damaged.

Li Mengxi casually shook open one of the flags, and saw that the flag was sewn well. The edges were carefully sealed, and the stitches were buried inside, with no thread visible.

The flag I got was the flag of the medical camp. In compliance with Li Mengxi's request at that time, the flag of the medical camp was made of white cloth with a green gourd on it and a medium-sized word "medical" in the lower right corner.

The embroiderer Lady Liu is indeed a full-time embroiderer, and her craftsmanship surpasses that of most ordinary women. Li Mengxi forgot to ask for the flag to have patterns on both sides, but Lady Liu consciously did so.

On the white flag background, beautiful light green threads sew out a vivid medicinal gourd. The gourd is full and full in shape, and there is a small and cute vine at the mouth of the gourd. The gourd might have looked a bit dull, because of this section.

Vine has become much more vivid.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but smile.

From the workmanship to the design, the flag is fully satisfactory for use.

Li Mengxi left the women's and children's camp with the flags of the four camps: doctors, craftsmen, butchers, and fishermen.

After thinking for a while, Li Mengxi felt that there was still something to do.

Earlier, when Li Mengxi was deducing the strategy of defending the city, he had already thought that if it rained, the soft flag would be wetted by the rain.

Therefore, as long as conditions permit, it is better to use hard flags as much as possible. Hard flags are not afraid of rain and can be spread without wind, which is much better than soft flags.

Now that the flag surface has been made, the skeleton still needs to be made.

So Li Mengxi came to Carpenter's Camp and handed the flag to Lu Li.

After Li Mengxi left, Lu Li stretched out the flag and looked at all four flags curiously.

White flag with a gourd painted on it.

Blue flag with white carp embroidered on it.

A brown flag with an ox-tip knife embroidered on it.

Naturally, the yellow one with a black ax embroidered on it is the carpenter camp flag.

Carpenters are generally not highly educated, but there are more than a hundred people working as carpenters, and many of them can read a little.

Among these literate people, Lu Li was not included.

Although Lu Li said he was illiterate, he looked at the flags and immediately figured out what the flags were for.

I don’t know the words, but Lu Li can understand the pictures.

The gourd, the medicinal gourd, is naturally the flag of Tian Bu.

Those who paint carp are naturally from the fishing camp.

The butcher's knife belongs to the butchers.

It has to be said that as a high-level special talent who makes a living through embroidery, Liu, the embroiderer who works with needlework all day long, still has some aesthetics.

The day before yesterday, Li Mengxi and Mr. Liu only explained the color of the medical camp flag, but not the other camp flags. The colors of the other camp flags were all chosen by Mr. Liu himself.

The colors of the three flags and the patterns on the flags are coordinated and eye-catching, blue with white, brown with green, yellow with black. The contrast between the colors is strong, making it easy to distinguish the patterns on the flags, and it is comfortable to the senses.

In particular, the flag of the fishing camp is particularly harmonious.

In later generations, the navy used blue and white tones. There is a reason why blue and white are used.

There is no doubt that Ms. Liu is just an embroiderer. She doesn't know what the navy is. However, Ms. Liu assigned the camp flag to the fishing camp according to her own feelings, and it actually coincides with the color of the navy.

The fishing camp is related to water, and it is not far from being a navy. The blue flag is suitable for the fishing camp.

If the blue flag was chosen by chance, it could be said that it was Liu's coincidence. However, if the blue flag is paired with a white pattern, it is not such a coincidence.

Blue and white are the best combinations. Blue is not as beautiful as any color combination with white.

Sure enough, there is always a level of professionalism.

Regardless of whether Mr. Liu has specifically studied systematic art and color science, Mr. Liu's appreciation of color exceeds that of ordinary people.

Here, Lu Li finished reading the flag and said, "Shitou, get in the car!"

Lu Li casually threw the flag at a carpenter.

"Okay!" The clever carpenter grabbed the flag and got into the car.

The carpenter camp has been running in until now, and Lu Li doesn't need to explain too much. Everyone in the carpenter camp knows what he means.

The carpenter climbed onto the cart, pushed aside half the cart of miscellaneous wood, and made a place for his feet. Then, right on the cart, he pulled out the bamboo strips and began to weave the frame of the flag.

The role of pallets as a mobile production base has become increasingly prominent.

If this method was not popularized, the small task of weaving the flag frame would have to wait until night.

The craftsman camp was extremely efficient. Li Mengxi sent the flag back. It didn't take long, at most two moments, for a few carpenters to weave the flag frame out of bamboo shavings on the moving cart, and then finished the flagpole.

In the blink of an eye it was evening.

You Qi passed by shouting, saying that when setting up camp, Xiao Bian, who was sleeping so hot and sweating, was woken up by Yu Qi's shouting.

As soon as Xiao Bian opened his eyes, he saw his brother.

"Are you getting up?" Li Mengxi smiled and touched his brother's forehead.

Xiao Bian rubbed his eyes, felt confused for a while, and then got up.

They had just set up camp, the van had just stopped, and Li Mengxi and his brother had just jumped out of the car when Lu Li came carrying four big flags.

Li Mengxi was surprised.

You know without asking that the flag must be ready.

Li Mengxi smiled and said immediately without any delay, "Let's see if the flag works."

There are still tents set up elsewhere, and they are busy starting to set up camp.

Li Mengxi asked Lu Li to find a place to plant the flag on the ground at will. He inserted a pole in an open space. He specifically inserted a pole behind the car. Then he walked inside and inserted another pole behind the tent. He took the remaining pole.

Li Mengxi shook it vigorously and found that it did not fall apart, indicating that the structure was still strong.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Li finished planting the flags everywhere, and then Li Mengxi and Lu Li walked out. Li Mengxi took two steps and then stopped.

Look back to see if you can see the flag.

Walk ten steps outside and look back. You can see the flag, and even the pattern on the flag is clearly visible.

Flags placed in open spaces can be seen clearly, flags placed behind cars and half-blocked by carts can also be seen clearly, and flags placed far away and blocked by crowds can also be seen clearly.

Walk ten steps further.

The flags can still be seen clearly.

Keep walking, another twenty steps.

At this time, we were far away from the main road and reached the grassy beach on the other side of the road. It was a bit far away and the patterns on several flags were blurred, but they could still be seen clearly.

Ten steps further away.

The patterns on the flags can no longer be seen clearly, but the colors of the flags are different and the differences are obvious, white, blue, brown, yellow and four colors.

You can tell them apart by color at a glance.

In practical applications, once the entire rebel system is familiar with the flags of each battalion, they can find out where each battalion is based only on the color of the flag, even without looking at the pattern on the flag.

Keep going further and further.

Far away, the four flags were planted on the ground. Because the flagpole was higher than the vehicle, higher than the people, and higher than the tent, you could still see where the flags were, and you could still see the different colors of the flags.

The original intention of setting up camp flags for various departments was to make it easier to find the place at a glance amidst the mixed traffic and people when sometimes you need to contact someone.

It is enough that the camp flag can still serve as a sign if it is two to three hundred meters away. It is sufficient.

However, when Li Mengxi went to see the flag from a distance, he discovered a huge shortcoming of the camp flag.

That is, sometimes the camp flag may not be visible.

There are four camp flags. When Lu Li planted them, the flags faced different directions.

Because the flag is a hard flag, the surface of the flag does not flutter or move, just like a thin wooden board.

It was fine when it was close, but when it was far away, Li Mengxi discovered that one of the flags was at the wrong angle. His line of sight was exactly parallel to the flag surface, and he could no longer see the flag surface.

Combined with practical application, it is very likely that sometimes, when a person stands outside the camp and looks for a long time, he cannot see clearly where the flag is. He has to go around to the edge and walk dozens of steps before he can clearly see the flag.

The vision is straight forward, but there are only two flags. The flag faces east and west, so people in the east and west directions can see the flag clearly. If you look at the flag due south and north, you can only see a line, and you can’t tell which battalion’s flag it belongs to. This is

, which is not conducive to identification and communication.
