Chapter 1070: 992-lined welcome

A transport ship full of soldiers slowly docked at the Chu Country’s most important Nanshan Port. The gangway was lowered, and one by one, soldiers descended from the deck and began to form lines on the pier.

These soldiers wore different military uniforms compared to those of Chu Country. From the styles, it seemed as if the two groups belonged to different eras. The soldiers of the Great Tang Empire resembled those from the 1990s of Lighthouse Country, while Chu Country had a distinct 1939 German retro style.

The uniforms of the Great Tang Empire soldiers were narrow-cuffed jacket styles, while the uniforms in Chu Country were still those provided by the Tang Empire, in a monochrome grey-green without any tightened cuff designs.

Compared to the Great Tang Empire, Chu Country’s uniforms seemed more like ceremonial attire, whereas the Tang Empire’s soldiers had clearly distinguished between ceremonial and combat uniforms.

Unfortunately, wealth allows for such caprice: the ordinary soldiers of the Great Tang Empire each had more than three sets of uniforms, including ceremonial attire for events, training uniforms for regular wear, and military camouflage for formal combat.

Aside from the differences in camouflage, the soldiers of Chu Country wore the traditional high-waisted combat boots inherited from Germany – these were Tang Empire’s former standard issue, yet not very practical on the battlefield.

The Tang Empire, however, had already adopted more modern mid-waist leather boots with soles made of synthetic materials, which were more durable and flexible, obviously more rational and easier to mass produce.

The steel helmets worn by soldiers from the two sides were also entirely different; the Tang Empire soldiers were now commonly equipped with helmets made from synthetic materials, while Chu Country’s soldiers wore the Tang’s M35 Steel Helmets, which were aesthetically pleasing but less functional.
