The eighth team members all understand this truth, and they have had some dealings with oil stocks, such as the military green 50L oil drum next to the generator.
Master Wu has asked the people transporting supplies more than once whether the oil drums can be filled up when delivering diesel. The oil drums are only 50 liters, and there is not much capacity.
When the generator is fully loaded, it can use more than ten liters a day, and the half barrel of oil supplied is enough for two days.
Many times, once the power is out, everyone who wants to generate electricity will be stopped by Master Wu. The reason is very simple. How can he generate electricity during the day? It is hard to stay up until night. After the power is turned on, Master Wu will use all the flashlights to store electricity.
All the things I have are used to recharge, not to mention being careful with the budget.
If used this way, it can be used for many days, but it is too frustrating.
After Master Wu heard that Ding Chengwen was from the oil stock, he quickly said: "Assistant Ding, let's discuss with you. Next time you send us diesel, can you fill up the small oil drum? The oil drum is only fifty liters.
, it’s not that five-hundred-liter barrel, so we shouldn’t be so prudent when generating electricity.”
Ding Chengwen said awkwardly: "Master Wu, in fact, according to our daily calculations of oil stocks, half a barrel of oil is enough.
In general power outages, the repair time will not exceed 24 hours. In most non-severe weather conditions, repairs are required within six hours, including at night.
Therefore, most of the time, there is no need for the oil in the oil barrel. The oil in the oil tank of the generator is enough.
Unless it is a particularly bad situation, such as the last snowstorm that lasted for half a month. Although the power was cut off once during the period, they completed the repair within 48 hours, which can be said to be almost 99%.
Under any circumstances, oil is enough.”
Master Wu waved his hand, "We are not worried about the ninety-nine percent of the cases, we are worried about the one percent. As long as the oil is burned out once, we will never dare to do it again.
The generator was turned on.
Even though we knew that the power outage might not last more than six hours, we did not dare to use the generator casually. If it was not repaired in time, we would be alone at the regiment headquarters for dozens of kilometers and had to think longer term.
.
Just a while ago, members of the 10th shift climbed two mountains to borrow diesel from us, but we were reluctant to give it to them. We would rather give them a piece of meat left in the refrigerator than let them take the oil away.
In the end, I had no choice but to let them go back empty-handed, so I reluctantly poured two large Coke bottles from the oil can for them to take back. Look at how frustrating it is."
Ding Chengwen knew that this situation occurred because the personnel at the 10th shift post improperly stored fuel, resulting in insufficient fuel.
However, Ding Chengwen didn't want to get entangled with Master Wu on this matter. The approval of the barrel of oil was a matter of his own signature. This trivial matter was not worth mentioning to him.
"Okay, when I get back to the oil section, I will make arrangements for you and get you a full barrel of spare oil. For me, this is just a hands-on matter."
When Master Wu heard what Assistant Ding said, his face was full of joy and he said quickly: "Thank you, Assistant Ding. By the way, we have braised chicken legs for extra dinner tonight. I'll give you that."
Ding Chengwen waved his hands repeatedly, "No, you have worked hard stationed at the outpost. One person per person, please don't give me more."
Lin Jian noticed that Master Wu was so polite and understood that although these two lieutenants were stationed in the Eighth Squadron, their status was equivalent to that of ordinary soldiers.
But they are lieutenant officers after all, and their outposts are always temporary, so even Master Wu, a seven-year veteran, still has to be polite to others.
Even Lao Wu, a seven-year veteran, is like this, let alone an ordinary corporal, and he dare not treat an officer with the same mentality as a soldier.
This is a problem. If there is no senior non-commissioned officer, or simply an officer to lead these people, it will be really difficult to command them later.
Lin Yi knocked on the table, "Okay, let's chat until the meeting is over. Now Xue Peng and Ding Chengwen are part of our eighth team outpost. Let's applaud them first to welcome them to join."
The applause was very warm. After a few seconds, Lin Yi pressed his hands and said, "We have two patrol teams. I'm afraid that Deputy Squad Leader Zhu can't control you, so you two follow me. When I patrol, you
Just follow me on patrol, and when I am on duty, you will follow me on duty, do you understand?"
Xue Peng himself was willing to follow Lin Yi. He came to the post just to be convinced by Lin Yi. If Deputy Squad Leader Zhu were to lead him, he would probably not listen to Deputy Squad Leader Zhu's words.
Ding Chengwen actually didn't want to follow Lin Yi. To be more precise, he didn't want to be on the same team as Xue Peng. He had already heard about Xue Peng's personality at the regiment headquarters. If he accidentally offended him,
If he was dragged out for a one-on-one fight, how could he withstand it with his body and bones?
If you can't offend me, you can always hide away. If I don't have a deep intersection with you, it will be over.
So Ding Chengwen took the initiative to raise his hand, "Platoon Leader Lin, you are a little tired of leading us two 'new recruits' at once. Otherwise, I'd better follow Deputy Squad Leader Zhu."
I assure you that when patrolling, I will definitely listen to Deputy Squad Leader Zhu. I will definitely go wherever he tells me to go. If Deputy Squad Leader Zhu says that I am disobedient to management, I will follow him again.
You, tell me whether it’s okay or not.”
The reason why Lin Yi wanted to take the two of them was because he was afraid that they would not obey the management. Now that Ding Chengwen was so obedient, Lin Yi could not refuse, "Okay, but you have to remember what you said. During the patrol, you must
If you obey Deputy Squad Leader Zhu unconditionally, don't just rely on your status as an officer to disobey management. If Deputy Squad Leader Zhu complains to me about you, I will have to train you hard to keep my word."
Ding Chengwen knew very well how powerful Lin Yi was. If he fell into his hands, it would probably be worse than being on the same team as Xue Peng. He quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes, I promise to listen to Deputy Squad Leader Zhu's words."
Lin Yi looked at Deputy Squad Leader Zhu, "I'll leave that Ding Chengwen to you. Just treat him as an ordinary soldier. I know you will definitely take into account his status as an assistant in the oil department, but my bottom line is,
During patrol, you must strictly demand him. Safety is paramount. You understand the meaning of this sentence better than me.
As for other places, such as during the preparation period at the outpost, you can be more relaxed in places that do not involve your own safety. If you feel that you can't control him, you must tell me immediately. I have countless ways to treat him.
Be obedient."
Although Deputy Squad Leader Zhu only spoke a few words to Ding Chengwen, he could clearly feel that Ding Chengwen was more tactful and probably not that difficult to lead, so he was still very confident, "Yes, platoon leader, I will definitely
