This was somewhat of a rush to sell something. This situation made everyone tensed up. If Lin Yi agreed, would it mean that everyone would be put on the outpost like this?
If you don’t go to the outpost, do you have no courage?
Those who came out of Brigade A, even if it was for honor, would not do anything without courage.
The lieutenant colonel saw everyone's gaze and didn't think there was anything wrong. Even if he was chasing a duck, he still wanted one of them to go to the outpost to experience it.
Officers who come to study and exchange cannot always be piled up at the regiment headquarters. The regiment headquarters is so relaxed and they can't freeze or starve. Although the climate is still harsh, it is too comfortable compared to the outpost.
Besides, you, Lin Yi, have achieved second-class merit, so you can't bear the hardships of the outpost?
This makes no sense. A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old can persevere. Why can't someone like you, who has received second-class merit, be able to persevere?
Lin Yi was not afraid of provoking generals. He knew very well that officers who exchanged and studied did not need to go to the outpost, but Lin Yi took the initiative to agree.
"It's okay to go to the outpost, but can other personnel stay at the regiment headquarters?"
The lieutenant colonel did not expect that Lin Yi was still caring about his comrades at this time, and was surprised, "You have to apply for the post yourself. We generally don't force you to go there. I just suggested it.
It’s definitely not an order.”
Lin Yi nodded, "I know, but I still want to go to the outpost. You are right, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old can hold on, why can't I hold on?"
The lieutenant colonel gave a thumbs up, "I hope you can maintain this mentality, but I still have to tell you solemnly that once you go to the post, you can't come back just because you want to. Once the road is blocked by heavy snow, it will not be possible for ten days and a half.
It’s not surprising.”
Lin Yi pointed to the cold-proof boots on his feet, "It doesn't matter if the road is inaccessible. We have feet. Even if we crawl, we can patrol the border line well."
When the lieutenant colonel heard this and saw Lin Yi's strength, he stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest.
At this time, the lieutenant next to Lin Yi said: "It's best not to go to the outpost. We are here to exchange and learn. There is no need to endure that hardship. We will go back after working hard in the regiment for three months."
Lin Yi shook his head, "It's okay. Just go to the sentry post. Isn't it just to endure hardship? It's like no one has ever suffered. Can we people from brigade A be looked down upon by them?"
When the lieutenant heard this, he knew that he couldn't lose his momentum, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he took out a deck of playing cards from his pocket and handed it over, "Here's something for you. It will help you pass the time."
Playing cards?
There is no explicit prohibition against playing poker in the army, but there is an explicit prohibition against gambling.
This is a gray area, after all, playing poker is not the same as gambling.
This is just like smoking. Smoking is not recommended in the military, and smoking is not allowed in public areas. However, you are never prohibited from smoking. You can even buy a variety of cigarettes in the military supermarket.
The same goes for playing cards. It is not recommended or forbidden for you to play cards. There are even playing cards in the leisure room.
But he didn't expect that the lieutenant would prepare playing cards alone. It seemed that he was fully prepared to deal with loneliness.
The lieutenant shrugged, "I asked my classmates at the border defense, and they said that even in the regiment headquarters, the mobile phone signal is not good, so you can play poker on weekends. Of course, you must put it away in time when the leader checks.
"
"I think you must not have brought playing cards. We stayed at the regiment headquarters and there is a leisure room where you can stay. If you go to the outpost, it will be just like being in the red squadron 3 and 5. You will be so lonely that you can talk to yourself
, that’s three months, not three days, the freshness won’t last you long.”
When the lieutenant colonel heard what the lieutenant said, he also opened his mouth and said: "This young comrade is right. Your freshness cannot last you three months. Poker cards can be carried in your pocket. We are not strict about this inspection."
"If you smoke, you can also prepare a few in the regimental store, and we will allow you to take them with you."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "I don't smoke, but I can bring the playing cards."
But after taking the playing cards, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea, "By the way, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, since you can play playing cards here, why don't we follow the example of the M Army and print the characters on the wanted poster on the playing cards?"
Well, wouldn’t it be possible to keep their characteristics in mind when entertaining?”
"Of course, I know that we don't have wanted persons here, so can we make a change and print some important orders, or even outstanding pacesetters, on the cards, so that everyone can have access to advanced figures at any time?"
When the lieutenant colonel heard this, he immediately became interested, "That makes sense. Every time we promote outstanding role models and advanced figures, we hold meetings to promote them. Very few people can really remember them. If this were printed on playing cards,
Being able to touch it often means that it not only entertains, but also educates."
Maybe this method is not easy to implement in other troops, but it is really suitable for border defense troops, because other troops can play with mobile phones on weekends, and even play basketball on the playground or take a walk if they have nothing to do.
But the border defense force is different. Because of its remote location, the signal is extremely poor. You can occasionally receive the signal when you take out your mobile phone. There are more people available, so it would be good to have a 2G network.
Don't even think about playing games.
As for walking on the playground, the winter there lasts for half a year, with temperatures reaching minus 30 degrees Celsius and blowing cold winds that can freeze your skin. You don't even think about taking a walk. This kind of walk is even more difficult than training.
It's a good idea. I think it works. Anyway, the regiment also has a color printing machine and photo paper. I'll just ask the clerk to make some playing cards like this.
At this moment, a long-lost voice suddenly came from Lin Yi's mind.
"Ding, if you succeed in inventing the advanced task of playing cards, you will be rewarded with a little bit of invention."
Currently unused invention points: 1 point.
Lin Yi was stunned when he heard the voice of the system. He just expressed an idea. Can it be regarded as an invention?
The system's answer was simple, "The system has detected that the playing cards can be made tomorrow morning, so we will reward you with invention points in advance."
Oops, I didn't expect that the lieutenant colonel actually listened to my suggestion and acted very decisively. I was immediately impressed by him.
Seeing Lin Yi staring at him, the lieutenant colonel coughed, "Didn't you just provide an idea for studying poker? Just think of it as a contribution to border defense, but don't think about taking credit.
It would be nice if it could get some awards at most, don’t take it too seriously.”
Lin Yi waved his hand, "No, no, I was thinking about what we can eat after the regiment headquarters. After all, at an altitude of five thousand meters, it is too difficult to make delicious food."
