Chapter 552: Cannon Fodder in the War
Ning Xiaoxiao watched these young volunteers carrying their luggage and weapons and rushing to an unknown battlefield.
Over the past ten years, despite Ning Xiaoxiao's full support, he has been constantly bringing back money from abroad, escorting the students who stayed abroad back to China, and bringing back research materials from the scientific research leaders.
There were also some drawings and materials from later generations provided by Ning Xiaoxiao. The scientific research leaders used the most advanced technology and materials to research and manufacture day and night. Although the results were very good, they produced many weapons of their own, such as guns, bullets, cannons, as well as tanks and airplanes.
But time is still not enough, mainly because after so many years of war, the country is still very poor, and the weapons produced are still unable to be mass-produced.
A large number of Red Army soldiers went to fight in other countries this time. Although they were ready to use the latest weapons made in their country on the battlefield, they were still far behind their opponents and were far from reaching the target in terms of quantity.
Ning Xiaoxiao looked at their backs and thought, "It doesn't matter. We can just fight, fight, snatch and seize whatever we need!" How could a battle involving so many countries still lack weapons?
The previous life was so difficult, but didn't they win the war in the end? Moreover, the conditions in this life were much better than the previous life. It couldn't be worse than the previous life.
The Knights Group had applied to their leaders long ago, and they took over the task of transporting large military weapons and supplies to the soldiers in this battle!
Over the past three years, Ning Xiaoxiao disguised herself as a man and quietly followed the main force. She had no idea how many battles she had been involved in! On the surface, the Knights' Group was only there to deliver supplies and collect and transport the spoils of war.
But only a few top commanders knew what was done in secret, and they even secretly provided them with various covers.
The commander also understood the Chivalrous Corps' intentions. They had referenced these wars and didn't want the international community to know about their existence. It just so happened that he didn't want anyone else to know either. He understood the meaning of burying the meat in the rice bowl better than anyone else.
So he led the soldiers to cooperate with the Knights' Group in their secret work, allowing them to hide perfectly under his wings.
The most obvious feature of this approach is that the Red Army's weapons are initially weaker than those of the enemy, but then the two sides gradually become equal, and in the end they can never use up all their weapons, and there are still some left!
But the Knights' Group also did an excellent job in their duties. When conditions allowed, she would deliver food and various vegetables to the quartermaster and the quartermaster, and have the fireman cook them for the soldiers!
When conditions were tough, Ning Xiaoxiao's steamed buns and pancakes came in handy! In recent years, no matter how difficult the conditions were, no matter how brutal the war was, the chivalrous group's steamed buns and pancakes were always delivered to the soldiers on time.
Over the past decade or so, robots have been constantly making cooked meals in space, and almost all of them were used in the three-year war, causing only combat casualties for the Red Army's soldiers, with no one dying of starvation or freezing.
The Red Army, with strong reserve forces, no shortage of weapons and no hunger, was unstoppable on the battlefield, advancing all the way, creating many miracles, and fighting many thrilling and famous classic battles, demonstrating China's unshakable determination and courage.
The Volunteer Army has made a name for itself in the past few years, shocked the international community, and left an unforgettable shadow on many countries that participated in the war.
Finally, an armistice agreement was signed, the soldiers returned home, and the whole country celebrated. They spent several years and suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but they gave the country and the people a satisfactory answer.
After the Knights handed over all the spoils they had gained from the battlefield over the past three years, she went into hiding again!
Ning Xiaoxiao, who had been busy for several years, finally had some free time and was living a comfortable life behind closed doors.
After so many years of war, the country has finally reached a truce and needs to recuperate! The leaders, who have been deceived and suffered a lot, are fully committed to developing the military, economy, education, technology, agriculture...
Although there were some border conflicts later, they were not a big deal, so Ning Xiaoxiao did not participate.
She knew that there would be a natural disaster in the future, so she anonymously provided the grain seeds in the space to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, asking them to research, develop and plant them!
Then, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed to his superiors the need to stockpile food, as there might be a natural disaster. Although the superiors were skeptical, they still shifted their focus to agriculture and bought some food from other countries.
Anyway, she has made all the necessary preparations, and she herself has not been idle. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, she has been growing crops in space all the time!
Finally, in 1959, the natural disaster arrived as expected. Although the country had developed rapidly in all aspects in recent years, and because of Ning Xiaoxiao's previous operations, there was some surplus grain, but there was still a shortage of food, especially in the case of large-scale natural disasters and no harvest. The food prepared by the leaders was simply a drop in the bucket.
The country managed to survive the first year of the natural disaster, even though they could only eat about 50% to 60% full. In the second year, they could only eat about 30% full. The Knights stepped in again, donating large quantities of food to the military camps, and they were fully responsible for how to distribute it.
This kind of disaster was not her first time, so she was familiar with it. Although the situation was much better than the disasters she had experienced before, Ning Xiaoxiao also did her best and had prepared the donations long ago.
At this time, she was not worried about not having enough rabbits to eat, as each donation was up to tens of thousands, and naturally, a large amount of food, vegetables and fruits were also indispensable.
She doesn't feel sorry at all for donating thousands of tons of food every month.
When the leader saw that the Knights had taken action again, he did not bother to be polite with her. He collected the food and immediately arranged for people to distribute it!
Then I asked someone to send her a big box!
Ning Xiaoxiao opened it and was almost blinded by the sheer volume of yellow croakers, both large and small. No wonder it took so many people to lift it. But after calming down, her eyes fell on the rolled-up scroll. She reached out and carefully picked it up, opening it to take a look.
This, this is the words written by the big leader for her, "Innocent heart, sincere way, loyal and righteous for thousands of years, a hero for all ages"
Ning Xiaoxiao's fingertips traced the words and the signature, her breathing quickening and her heartbeat accelerating. Oh my god! Is this the equivalent of a death-free ticket?
Loyal and righteous for eternity, a hero for all ages, was this the highest praise she had ever received in her thousands of years of life? She didn't deserve it, it was an exaggeration, too much, but joy welled up in her heart, and a smile gradually crept onto her cheeks, slowly blossoming.
She carefully rolled up the calligraphy, and then she was in the mood to look at other things.
Then she saw that there was also a deed to a five-courtyard courtyard house in Beijing inside the box. The leader knew her too well. These gifts were all her favorites and touched her heart.
After all, he is a leader, and every move he makes is big.
Ning Xiaoxiao, who received the great gift, immediately returned to the space. She directly increased the amount of materials originally donated, and then sent a large amount of high-quality food, various vegetables and fruits to the leaders!
This disaster was different from the one in 1942. That disaster affected only one or two provinces, but this one was nationwide. To save the entire country from starvation was a significant expense, and if she hadn't accumulated thousands of years of wealth, it would have been difficult to achieve.
Afterwards, the leaders had no intention of letting her carry this burden alone. They would send a considerable sum of money every quarter. Although it was far from enough to buy food, it was their best effort to share some of the pressure with the Knights' Group.
Ning Xiaoxiao accepted all the offers without hesitation, and this half-buy, half-donate cooperation lasted until the end of the disaster year!
Ning Xiaoxiao looked at the food in the space. She had been in this world for more than 20 years, and had been donating food continuously for more than ten years, but less than one-fifth of the food in the space had been used.
Moreover, most of the donated grains are coarse grains, and all that is left are refined grains. Uh... it feels like only some messy scraps have been removed, and what is left are the essence.
It really wasn't her intention to do that, because when everyone was in the most difficult time, even if all she donated were coarse grains, it was much better than what they originally ate.
It is not possible that when people are about to starve to death when they encounter difficulties, she will directly donate all the high-quality rice and fine white flour. This will cause big problems.
Moreover, the coarse grains she donated were all improved varieties in later generations, and after being optimized in the soil and air of the space, both the yield and taste were much better than what they had grown before.
Never mind, just keep these fine grains for yourself and eat them slowly!
As for other supplies in the space, she also took the opportunity to clear out some of them, such as the cotton she had stockpiled before, various cotton cloths, and those color current assembly lines, machine tools, cars, home appliances and sewing machine assembly lines that she had brought from abroad from who knows which world... They were also cleared out during the years when she was fully committed to development after the war.
Anyway, these things have no use to her in the space, and keeping them will only take up space!
The biggest change in the space is the rabbits. Finally, most of them have been cleared out. Finally, when you look around, it is not all rabbits. It feels like if it continues like this, the rabbits will soon occupy her space. Now, most of them have been cleared out.
The donation activities in this life should end here. The high-yield coarse grain cultivation in the space has also stopped, and gradually turned to diversification.
The robot, which had been making cooked food for almost ten years and was occasionally taken out by her to perform tasks, could finally take a break and have time to bicker with her.
Ning Xiaoxiao and the robot sighed, "In the blink of an eye, I have been in this world for more than 20 years. Now I am almost 35 years old. I am not married, I have no children, and I have no friends. As for my family, I only sent some food back to my grandparents and uncles during the period of natural disasters and food shortages.
I've never been back, which means I have no family or friends. I'm completely alone, with nothing."
As for the mission given to her by the original owner, it had long been completed. Ning Xiaoxiao could finally enjoy her retirement life without any constraints or social interactions.
The second robot said, "Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling lonely and cold? If you spread the news that you are a member of the Knights' Group, how many people would come to chat with you?"
Ning Xiaoxiao shuddered at the thought of that situation. It wasn't just a chat; how many people wanted her life? "Waiter, I didn't offend you, did I? Is it necessary to smear me like that?"
"Look at what you said, master. I'm just worried that you're too bored. How about letting me go out and catch some handsome guys for you to play with? Master, don't worry, I'm absolutely reliable, and those handsome guys will definitely be devoted to you." If you dare not play with the master, I'll beat him to death!
"No, please don't. I don't need it. Who said I'm bored? I've been busy for so many years and finally have time to rest. How could I be bored? I want to enjoy life." Ning Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. Isn't it good to be free? After finally getting comfortable, I still have to find some responsibilities to carry on my shoulders.
"Aren't you bored? Then why do you have time to come and chat with us? Master, you are not attracted to us, are you? No way, no way? Please don't, we are of different breeds and cannot get married and have children. It is a relationship that is doomed to be fruitless. It is better not to start. Even if the master likes us, he must hold back! But, it's also true that there are two of us, two top-notch men, for comparison in front of you. How could the master look down on other men? Alas, it's just that we are too outstanding and too versatile." The waiter acted conceited.
Ning Xiaoxiao gnashed her teeth in anger: "Get out of here right now! If you say one more word, I'll reboot your system."
"No, master! It's okay if you really like us. We can date each other. The eldest and I can date you regardless of age. We are much better than those stinky men out there. The only thing is that we can't get married and have children." The second robot shouted as he ran!
"Boss, go, remove the battery for him!"
"No, I was wrong, master, I will shut up and get to work now!" The voice became farther and farther away until it disappeared.
Ning Xiaoxiao took two deep breaths, and then felt a little amused. Why was she arguing with a robot lump of metal? She sat back in the rocking chair and ate some fruit!
"By the way, Xiaojiu, how are the male and female protagonists? Are they still alive?" I haven't paid attention to these two characters for a long time.
"Of course they are still alive. They are the male and female protagonists. They are very lucky and should have been married long ago!" After getting married, the heaven will not pay attention to them. As for whether they are happy after marriage, only the two parties involved know.
"That's right, are the hero and heroine finally living happily together?"
"Xiaoxiao, do you think it's possible to be happy? Have you forgotten what you did? A lame fake Mingyuan married a snob and has been infertile for many years. Happy? Is it possible?" Xiaojiu directly brought up the situation of the male and female protagonists over the years and enlarged the screen for her.
Ning Xiaoxiao read it with great interest. Indeed, System Xiaojiu's summary was very insightful. The married life of the hero and heroine was indeed far from happy, and could even be described as painful.
Leng Haitang has never had a good day since she got married. Her abnormally thin, unevenly long, and scarred legs were exposed to Huo Shangan on her wedding night, leaving her bridal chamber unfinished.
Her husband disliked her. Her in-laws had always looked down on her, despising her for not being from a prominent family or a well-educated lady. They believed marrying her would not bring any benefit to the Huo family. Later, after all her past deeds were dug up, they looked down on her even more.
Leng Haitang was no pushover either. She had a wise brother to help her. It took her some time to coax Huo Shangan into submission, and the two finally consummated their marriage!
But Huo Shangan was a soldier, and the country was at war everywhere at that time, so he naturally could not escape the fate of going to the battlefield, and they began to live apart!
Leng Haitang stayed at the Huo family, taking care of their daily life. However, she had never done much housework since she was a child, even with a broken leg. How could she possibly take care of a family full of picky people? So she was exhausted every day, and was also despised by everyone!
