On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the birth of the People's Army, people rekindled their enthusiasm for military uniforms.
The military uniforms in our impression usually refer to the suits of the uniforms. Now the military of all countries in the world will regard the design of the uniforms as the most important "conscription advertisement"-to make all young people yearn for the upper body Hot blood explosion models. As the "struggle for wonder and beauty" in the history of cruel warfare, this knowledge about the "skin" of soldiers is worthy of your understanding.
The cloth appeared on the armor, it was because-collapse
The modern military uniform concept is a product derived from Western military culture. The armor craftsmanship of ancient Europe is indeed more realistic than that of China. From ancient Rome to the Middle Ages, whether it is pawn plate armor or heavy cavalry, it is really pig iron and pure steel to put itself in the pot. We can see from some movies and televisions that some robes and cloth covers appeared on the armor of the ancient European army, which can be regarded as the prototype of the military uniform. But the basic function of these cloth covers is not for the image of the army, but for lining. Think about it, if an iron pan encounters the recent hot weather, it will be too uncomfortable.
The origin of the military rank epaulettes was actually because-short
Compared with their opponents at the time, the ancient Romans were relatively short, and the shoulders and necks were easily chopped, so the Roman legion The armor design pays more attention to shoulder protection. Many armies in later generations paid great attention to the design of the shoulders of their uniforms out of worship of the Roman legions. At the beginning of the 19th century, the French army designed a very gorgeous Epaulette. As Napoleon's storm swept through Europe, it became a model for the mimicry of the armies of various countries. Until the early years of the Republic of China, the marshals still wore the particularly eye-catching Epaulette.

In 1854, the Russian army developed a military rank design based on the Epaulette, which is also the star-shaped military rank pattern that has also influenced the Chinese army. This is a modern military rank logo. The beginning. After the October Revolution, Lenin once cancelled the rank insignia of the Soviet Red Army with the "noble mark". Later, the leader couldn't stand the sense of loss of the soldiers and allowed him to recover.
In the era of muskets, the battlefield is like the "Hundred Flowers" in the execution ground.
In order to facilitate musketeers' hands and feet, the cloth art uniform finally became the protagonist. Regarding this era, represented by "The Patriot", many people who eat melon can't understand why there is a strange tactic of walking in squares and queuing to shoot. Because the musket at that time had no rifling and the bullets did not go in a straight line, if the skirmishers fired, they might not be able to fight each other for 800 rounds face-to-face. They were even more anxious and had no advantage over traditional armored soldiers. Only by shooting the "wall of bullets" neatly, can it be lethal.
In the age of muskets, the battlefield is like the "Hundred Flowers"
Through related videos, we pay attention to one detail-the smoke after the muskets was fired was very large at that time, and it was also mass-fired. After a few rounds of shooting, no one can see anyone with PM2.5. In order to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy in the thick smoke, the militaries of this period reached a football-like tacit understanding-each selected bright representative colors. British red, French blue, Austro-Hungarian white, Tsarist Russia green and so on. Coupled with the line-up shooting style, there is another explanation for the bright military uniform-it makes me die decently.
Lobster red, a 19th century British classic
Because of the Opium War, the Chinese were also quite hostile and disdainful of the traditional British Red Army uniform, borrowing the contemptuous name of the American War of Independence-Lobster Soldier. So far, the red dress is still the standard equipment of the British royal family, aristocratic military uniforms and honor guards. There is a fallacious explanation that the British army is trying to make the soldiers' wounds and bloodstains not obvious, which is conducive to the psychological stability of the soldiers.
Lobster red, a 19th century British classic
actually originated from the British Civil War in the late 18th century. Cromwell’s model army was different from the monarchy and all military budgets The tender was strictly reviewed by the parliament, and the parliament selected the cheapest "Venetian Red" fabric, which has been the leader in European military uniforms for a century. Until the end of the 19th century, the BritishIn the war of the Boers, because of the heavy losses of bright military uniforms, red withdrew from the design of combat dress, but the British opened a new legend in the history of military uniforms-khaki yellow.
Khaki yellow, the main color of World War II
There is an inaccurate statement that camouflage uniforms are the beginning of military uniform protective colors. In fact, after experiencing the nightmare of South Africa's Boer, the British army learned from the pain, and instead of red, it started from actual combat and was close to the color of soil. In the subsequent World War II, the broad khaki color system almost covered the vast majority of the participating armies of the Warring States, including Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, China, and Japan. There is no standard for this color. It generally refers to the yellow close to the soil. The darker brownish yellow is usually for normal uniforms, and the lighter brownish yellow is usually for combat uniforms. There is an anecdote that when the U.S. military first entered the European battlefield, it was also equipped with camouflage uniforms. However, because the German camouflage uniforms were so famous, some soldiers were mistaken for the German army and caused casualties. Therefore, the U.S. military gave up camouflage uniforms and unified the famous " Feces yellow".
Khaki yellow, the main color of World War II
It needs to be clarified that the military uniform of the Eighth Route Army in the Anti-Japanese War drama was tampered with gray blue, but for two reasons, the first is the Taihang Mountain in North China. The actual environment of the Loess Plateau; the Second Soviet Union aided part of the standard fabric of the Soviet Red Army, so most of the Eighth Route Army uniforms are khaki. This also explains that in the difficult years of war, the PLA uniforms will not turn yellow overnight after 1945.
Overrated Nazi uniforms

German soldiers in World War II attracted military fans with their high military qualities and handsome uniforms There are countless fans, and experts in allied countries do not doubt the combat capability of the German army, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that the German army is the most handsome uniform. First of all, this military uniform should be called "Prussian military uniform". It belongs to the traditional style of the German army. Compared with the World War I version, the World War II version is slightly modified, and it is not an original Nazi design.

European military culture, the uniforms of senior generals from various countries, all It is tailor tailored according to precision, combined with national standards, privately customized, and viewed objectively. The uniforms of high-level generals have their own characteristics for the German and British forces. The British are more particular about the craftsmanship standards of medal decoration.
For the design of soldiers' uniforms, the Nazis are lackluster, and the fabrics are not resistant to wear and tear. On the Soviet-German battlefield, military uniforms are not only different in thickness, but Soviet military uniforms have many adaptations. The humane design of the battlefield, and the German army gradually reduced to a fleeing army stuffed with straw and newspapers.

The distinctive navy "technical control"
From the discovery of geography to today, sea power is the core factor that influences the general trend of the world. In the United States, Navy (Navy) and Marine (Marine Corps) are the first services in the hearts of the people. In the current new round of military reforms in China, "destroying the Continental Army and enhancing naval and air forces" is also one of the directions. Several former army units have been reorganized into marine brigades, taking off their green uniforms and wearing navy uniforms.
