Chapter 42 The Fame of the Repair Center
I understand, I understand everything.
It's not Shangguan's suppression, but Huniu's suppression.
Huniu must have said hello to someone, and then this company commander who really wanted to go to the battlefield became the hard-core small company commander of the reinforcement center.
Huniu has never been to the front line, but she has seen Li Hu who was almost blown to pieces when he came back from the front line.
War is a very scary existence for her, and she does not allow the people she likes to fight to the death with vicious enemies.
Although I don’t agree with Huniu’s approach, I can’t say anything now.
"I'll go discuss it with my second uncle, haha!" Li Lin had no choice but to deal with it with a silly smile.
"Brother, you don't know how much I miss the battlefield and being with my brothers!
Seeing our volley of artillery blasting the enemy troops to pieces, I felt like the blood all over my body was burning.
We are rough people, and our ancestors have never done anything like writing or writing for eight generations.
If you want to get ahead, you can only rely on military merit and earn it with your life.
I want to give your sister a good life, and this good life has to be earned at the risk of one's life. To support his wife and children by drinking soldiers' blood, I, Zhao Liangdong, would not do this even if I were killed.
When men make money, they just want to make clean money."
"Holy shit, the repair center can also drink soldiers' blood?" Li Lin was shocked when he heard Zhao Liangdong's words.
The rehabilitation center was a major initiative of Li Xiao. The recruited recruits would not be sent to the front line, but directly to the rehabilitation center.
After receiving three months of recruit training in the rehabilitation center, they will be sent to the front line only if they are qualified in physical fitness and basic tactics.
When we get to the front line, it's not like the entire organization goes into battle.
Instead, they were randomly assigned to companies with vacancies. This company would make up for ten, and that company would make up for eight.
It's all random, there shouldn't be anything fishy involved.
"In the Marine Corps, I never saw anyone drinking the blood of soldiers.
Everyone is working hard to make money from the yellow-haired people or the indigenous people.
Not only did the soldiers not have to give money to their superiors, but the officers would give money to the soldiers.
We are all brothers who have been through life and death, and there is no reason to eat alone.
You are really evil-minded, and you can't get away with being shot on the battlefield." Zhao Liangdong seemed to be remembering the prosperous years of those years, and picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.
This time, I finally didn’t do it.
Li Lin nodded. The grassroots officers were actually close to the soldiers. They knew that they had to rely on these people when fighting.
Not only will it not be exploited, but it will find ways to benefit everyone.
Let everyone think that following a superior officer like you will make money, and only those who become military officers will have a future.
Those company commanders, platoon commanders, etc. can only bully the soldiers and treat them to a drink.
Many people will pay the bill secretly after drinking.
Only those with bad brains can exploit the body of a soldier.
The black guns that Zhao Liangdong talked about sometimes really exist.
Anyway, there are guns everywhere on the battlefield. If you find an enemy's gun and shoot it, God knows who will pull the trigger.
If someone does see it, they often don't say anything.
In the military, whistleblowers who touch everyone's interests will only die.
Blood experience tells officers that they should be kinder to soldiers.
Today I heard that there are people who drink the blood of soldiers, which really opened Li Lin's eyes. You know, the Ming army always has enough.
And regular and irregular inspections have never been interrupted.
The only way for the Ming generals to make money, by taking shortfalls, is simply not feasible in today's Ming army.
The guy who takes the short quota will not only be dismissed from office, but also have to go to jail.
In terms of input-output ratio, it is really not cost-effective.
“The renovation center is really in a mess right now.
Those who had enough money were assigned to learn to drive cars, armored vehicles, and tanks. The worst ones were also assigned to learn to drive tractors.
Those who were somewhat literate were assigned to learn how to shoot telegrams and even fly airships.
No money!
Haha! You are a hard-working soldier. He is so exhausted from training all day long. Not only that, he also has to buy cigarettes and drinks for the squad leader.
If you don't punish the squad leader, you will be punished with corporal punishment, and in severe cases, you will be beaten."
"Is there such a thing?" Li Lin had never heard of it. He didn't expect such a thing to happen under the Ming Dynasty.
"Haha! Anyway, all the soldiers brought out will be sent to the front line in three months.
Shangguan only cares whether the soldiers they train are qualified or not, not how they are trained.
Some squad leaders even argued plausibly that there were regulations for veterans to fight new recruits.
Where the hell does the doctrine say veterans can fight new recruits?
If it's just for training, it's okay to hit them once or twice to teach those cowards a lesson.
But..., when power comes into the hands of others, things change.
Now all new recruits know how to give gifts, and their families stuff them with a few cartons of cigarettes before coming to the army.
Alas...! There is simply no way to explain this.
What a mess!"
"No one cares about it?" Li Lin frowned. The Renovation Center is the source of the Ming Dynasty's military strength. Now that something like this has happened, how can it be possible?
"Who cares, these squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders are all considered fat men.
They all came because of the notes written above, and many of them have the support of important people, so I can't afford to offend them.
A few days ago, I beat up someone, and they were yelling that they were going to deal with me.
I'm not afraid. If you want to deal with it, send me to the front line.
Just what I wanted!" Zhao Liangdong was obviously frustrated at the renovation center and complained in front of Li Lin.
"Are you going to invite my brother to dinner, or are you going to complain about your team?
There are many people in our family who have served in the military, but I have never seen an official as big as you.
What's the use of complaining? It's better to be professional as soon as possible.
Our family has business, so it’s great to enjoy doing business. Why go to the battlefield and risk death in a life-and-death fight for wealth?"
Huniu's face turned cold.
"What! Is your family looking for a son-in-law?
I, Zhao Liangdong, am a man worthy of heaven and earth, and wealth depends on my own efforts. What does it mean to do business with you?
Besides, I, Old Zhao, know this little bit of ink in his stomach. Not to mention fighting, but doing business requires a lot of twists and turns in his stomach.
I don't have that ability!
If you let me do business, I could pay for your whole family.
Everything else is up to you, but don’t worry about the team matters."
Zhao Liangdong patted his chest unconvinced.
"Okay, okay! I don't care, let's see what punishment the superiors give you.
Maybe the punishment is to make you take off your military uniform and change your job!"
"Changing jobs? I'll kill that bastard first.
What the hell is there to eat like instant noodles, but the new recruits are allowed to buy them."
Zhao Liangdong was so angry that he drained the wine in the bowl in one breath.
"Instant noodles? What are they?" This was the first time Li Lin heard about instant noodles.
“It’s a kind of fried noodles that can be eaten by soaking it in hot water.
If there is no hot water, you can eat it dry.”
Huniu blinked at Li Lin, and Li Lin understood. It was probably her own business again!
But this thing sounds good, and seems to be very suitable for military rations.
“It’s no good eating too much of that food, and I’m not really hungry at all.
Besides, it will break as soon as you squeeze it. I don’t know why today’s recruits like to eat that stuff so much.
The military rations for our team are better, scallion oil pancakes and canned beef. After eating, you will feel stronger!"
Zhao Liangdong seemed to have a bad impression of instant noodles, and Li Lin wanted to see his expression after knowing that this was his own business.
"Brother Zhao, you don't know.
It's very icy and snowy in Europe, so it's not easy for a soldier to have a bite of hot food.
Although the canned beef with scallion pancakes is good, it is frozen as hard as a rock in Russia.
It’s really good to have military rations that you can eat just by soaking them in hot water. I just don’t know if they taste good or not!”
"It's delicious! It's really delicious. It comes with seasoning packets. It's made of glutinous rice. Just soak it in hot water for a while and it will melt." Huniu obviously has great confidence in her own products.
If this thing becomes military ration, then the fortune will be huge.
"I really want to return to the team. I'm fed up with these messy things." Zhao Liangdong was a little drunk, but he still couldn't forget about fighting on the front line.
Li Lin would not dare to agree without discussing it with Huniu.
