As the most complete military organization in the world, the structure of the Alfheim Defense Force is second to none.
Mobilize the general staff of hundreds of thousands of troops on maps and sandboxes;
The three armies show their magical powers on land, sea and sky;
intelligence services operating on the front lines or behind enemy lines;
In comparison, the Logistics Department is really an inconspicuous yamen, at least in the eyes of the passionate young elves who lack sufficient understanding of military affairs and are eager to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. The rookies who serve in the military every year see
When the column on the enlistment notice reporting the unit was filled in with "Logistics Department", few people would not sigh.
They are also in charge of logistics. Outside of Alfheim, the heads of various countries are scrambling for lucrative jobs. People without strong backgrounds cannot enter the logistics management department - after all, everyone is eager for corruption and can compete for money.
There is still a fight to be had. Generally speaking, the surnames of the big bosses in the logistics department are always the same as those of big figures in the government and the military.
This kind of thing is not seen in the National Defense Forces, which has completely nationalized the military. Those who first enter the management level of the Logistics Department will undergo strict background checks. A clerk responsible for knocking out seals is likely to have eight generations of ancestors' experiences and daily interpersonal relationships before taking up the post.
They have all been thoroughly investigated. By this method, the internal strife caused by cronyism and small mountain cliques can be prevented to the greatest extent. Then in daily work, they want to cheat, fish and fool around, and tamper with the account books*
*It is also extremely difficult. To know the essence
The spirits now have the world's top accounting team. In front of the professionals who usually help human high-ranking officials and nobles to make false accounts, playing numbers games and looking into the eyes of others is purely seeking death. In addition, the Logistics Department headquarters and its subordinate units also have historical records.

Personnel from the army and the general staff's intelligence department are always on the lookout. Once any corruption or malfeasance occurs, these chain dogs will be the first to be held accountable. Want to take a lazy nap in such a high-pressure working environment where people are being closely monitored? Hmm
,The sun in the execution ground is nice today.
The work pressure is high, there are few opportunities for promotion, and if you want to do anything, you have to risk your life anytime and anywhere. You can imagine the impact that reporting to the Logistics Department will have on young elves of service age.
Of course, for an outlier like Parsifal, the logistics department is more suitable for him to perform than working in the front-line army to struggle with his body, which barely reaches the standard. Who can handle all kinds of documents at the desk and communicate with calls from other departments?
Everything is handled with ease. Occasionally, he encounters a problem of on-site scheduling. He can always communicate and solve it beautifully. He is praised by his boss afterwards and showers the envious eyes of his colleagues. In the words of his colleagues and superiors, he came up to be a logistics officer.
of a military officer.
Desk, coffee, stamps, ink pads, stationery, telephone, telex machine, typewriter, printing paper - the life in the logistics department is now impeccable for Parsifal. In the foreseeable future, there will be more on his shoulders.
Add another star or a bar. There will also be multiple beautiful exclusive female secretaries around you. Everything will become more perfect...
However, the planned life is still far away, and the familiar office is now more than 1,000 kilometers away from me. There is no desk and stamp at hand, only the muddy road in the early spring of the United Principality of Ross and the furry bear riding on the back of the Behemoth beast.
Soldiers.
When his immediate superior, Lieutenant Colonel Franz Herber, held his hands, his expression was solemn and solemn, and he told him in a sincere tone: "This is the trust placed in you by the General Staff and the Logistics Department, and it is also a test for you. Lieutenant.
"I even almost changed my title to a more ambiguous title - "Tong
When he was "Zhi", he felt vaguely that something was wrong. Before he could verbally thank the organization and superiors for their trust and cultivation in him, that bastard lieutenant colonel thrust a piece of business trip transfer order into his hand, and then Parsifal arrived.
It’s a ghost place that everyone in the logistics department tries to avoid as far away as possible.
Maybe people in the armored force, aviation force and general equipment department like the deserted plains, where they can play with their toys to their heart's content, but for the Defense Forces Logistics Department, the United Principality of Rus is purely a place of exile and distribution.
The main business of the Logistics Department is, to put it bluntly, logistics work. For them, road conditions, geology, and weather are major issues that they have to pay attention to.
The winter in this country is long and cold. In the coldest winter, plants such as firs and pine trees will even crackle due to the low temperature, and the vehicle transmission gear oil will freeze like rubber. In the early spring, the snow melts.
Afterwards, there was mud everywhere, and the entire country became a big quagmire. In such an extreme environment, the cost of road construction and maintenance will increase significantly, and incidentally it will also cause trouble for troop deployment and logistics.
The principality also has a solution to this problem, which is to hand over all road construction work to captured human slave workers. Because they are slave workers, they do not need to pay them wages. If they die on the job, they do not need to pay pensions.
The only problem is that due to poor treatment and racial hatred, the labor efficiency of slave labor is not very high. However, with whips and heads, this problem can be solved to a certain extent.
Even so, due to technical level and security issues, the level of infrastructure in the Principality is still unflattering.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the technical level. It can't be done with a shovel by human hands, and the road built by the army of resentful slave workers is naturally not durable. As for **... Whenever the elders pass a resolution, it is done.
Then for one or two projects, the construction funds will be embezzled and misappropriated. If the funds for building 100 kilometers of standard official roads are often completed in the end, we should praise the power of the Mother Goddess.
There are also issues such as tough folk customs, ethnic antagonism, etc. In a place that is worse than a virgin forest, it takes a lot of effort to send a box of bearings to the frontline troops. For the Logistics Department, this place is really good.
Buckled hell.
Despite all the problems, the trade between v.e Company and the principality has continued. The principality exports grain, wood, ore to the company in exchange for tea, sugar, salt, vodka, alcohol, medicine, weapons and other consumer goods. Especially the first three bulk items
Commodities, due to geographical environment factors, these daily necessities are not produced or rarely produced in the Principality, all
Relying on imports or plundering from foreign countries. Except for v.e Company, no merchant can meet the huge demand of the entire principality, and at the same time, the goods provided are of high quality and low price. In order to meet the demand for raw materials and agricultural products, it is also a disguised form of diplomatic discount.
, the company also needs the cooperation of the principality, and both parties hit it off immediately and are very satisfied with this trade model.
Among the goods transported this time, tea, sugar, salt, cigarettes, and wine accounted for a considerable proportion, but what is different from the past is that there are also a large number of other materials and letters to the garrison troops of the Defense Force on the freight list. Therefore, according to common practice
, the Logistics Department Headquarters needed to dispatch a commissioner to coordinate the transfer work, so Lieutenant Parsifal, who was highly regarded, won the lottery and came to the Brest Fortress area thousands of miles away.
The giant beast that was bigger than a locomotive swayed across mud pits one after another. The elf boy on the beast's back looked up at the sky and once again greeted all the female relatives in the bastard Lieutenant Colonel's family.
"Relax, kid, life here is not as miserable as back home."
Captain Helmut Murat was chewing compressed biscuits with a relaxed look on his face.
I have been stationed in the United Principality of Ross for more than three years. The rookies sent by the headquarters for training have been welcomed and sent away. I have seen a lot of the constipated faces of the new rookies.
Being assigned from the office of the Logistics Headquarters to such a wild place, I naturally cannot be in a good mood, but the Logistics Department is also part of the military system after all, and what is needed is more than a word processor that can only type stamps and answer the phone. I have never experienced it in the field.
A nerd whose understanding of the transportation process and on-site dispatching environment is only limited to words is unlikely to be qualified for important positions.
Whenever a young talent with development potential appears in the Logistics Department, the department head will make a detailed list, and then the officers on the list will be regularly arranged to go to various places to perform transportation and dispatching operations in the name of "business trips".
Under certain circumstances, the company will be assessed by the local logistics department. Based on the assessment results, its future development will be determined.
This time it was Parsifal's turn, and the examiner was Murat.
"Well, although those furry friends have a lot of problems, if you understand their habits and thinking, those guys are actually quite easy to talk to."
"Is this the experience of... seniors?"
"Well, that's right. What? Do you think it's weird?"
"No, I just heard similar words in school in the past."
"Huh? Those elm-headed people who are nagging all day long actually have some enlightenment? They don't know how to use a knife today?"
He raised the arbor with his hands and looked at the sky. What reflected Murat's pale pupils was not a sign of any changes in the sky, but only white clouds and the spring sunshine.
There is a cynical exaggeration in his words and expressions, but only those who have experienced military school life like Parsifal know what an incredible fact this is.
“‘If you don’t observe the other person’s perspective, perspective, and way of thinking, you can’t really understand the other person’—this is what my classmate said.”
"That's a pretty clever idea..."
Surprised by the fact, the frivolity disappeared from Murat's face, and he wanted to say something more. Murat, who had sharp eyes, saw that the team in front slowed down, and a gust of spring breeze blew the fast and urgent rolling sounds of the bear tribe orcs.
Came over.
"What...what happened?"
Parsifal came over and put his right hand into the briefcase.
In the event of an emergency, it is undoubtedly correct to touch the gun first, but in Murat's view, it may be difficult for this nervous little rookie to remember to turn on the safety before shooting and how to aim when shooting.
Put a question mark.
"Put the gun away, Lieutenant."
He whispered, then gave a wry smile.
"If we encounter a little trouble, maybe we will arrive at the fortress a little later."
The sharp gaze was reminiscent of a carnivorous raptor. Parsifal nodded hesitantly. Just as he took his hand out of the bag, there was a rush of shouts in the Principality language in front of him. (To be continued...)
