The United States is also big enough, and the planes, cars, and the effort to settle down are already 5 p.m. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to the custom in the United States, dinner will be held around six o'clock, and Zhang Nan plans to go and see what is prepared for the guys in the kitchen first.

Napoleon said: "The army marches on the stomach!"

This saying is very popular in the Western world, and it is also true in the old saying in China, "the people take food as the sky", but the tenacity of the Chinese army is generally stronger than that of the Western army under difficult conditions.

Needless to say, the situation during the Red Army period and the most extreme time to resist US aggression and aid Korea reached the limit of human beings, even during the Liangshan round battle in the first two years, sometimes the front-line troops had to rely on compressed biscuits and cold water to live, and they still beat the Vietnamese monkeys crying dad and mother!

Now there are about 200 security contractors in the camp, and about half of them are from Huaxia, Zhang Nan didn't plan to open a small stove this time, so he didn't bring Daniel, and this time he needs to go to the big canteen.

If there are conditions, you have to let the guys in the company eat well and eat well, and the boss is not short of money!

And the cafeteria is open to cowboys and cowboy families, and the meals are all free, which is very popular with cowboys: in the United States, according to customary tradition, farmers are generally only responsible for the supply of meat for cowboys, and nothing else.

Alice is a little tired today, others can sleep and rest peacefully on the plane, she at least prepares heated Chinese food for everyone, so she will not accompany Zhang Nan to inspect the canteen, and wait until the meal is over.

As soon as Zhang Nan went out, he knocked on the wooden door next door.

"Brother Alan. ”

Chariz Theron was wearing a U.S. military uniform, and Zhang Nan felt a little awkward: how does this feel like an American female star going to the front line to work in the army.

"I'm going to go to the restaurant kitchen to have a look, are you coming?"

"Snap" put her feet together, and the little girl saluted a nondescript military salute, "Wait for the commander's order!"

Zhang Nan shook his head!

"Don't, don't salute, don't be awkward! And this is militarized management, salute is a very serious thing, don't mess around, just follow me honestly." ”

Little Charlie's mouth widened, "Oh." ”

The farm and training base are their own territory, so they followed Alyosha and Randy out of the villa, and the camp was more than ten meters away on the left.

Randy had been here before, and he was just in time to lead the way for Zhang Nan.

The bodyguards also changed out their short coats and sunglasses, all of them were in military uniforms, and even the firearms they carried with them were no longer hidden, but hung on their belts and legs.

The training camp stipulates that heavy equipment is stored in the daily warehouse, firearms such as assault rifles are stored on weapon racks in the barracks, and short guns such as pistols are placed in small lockers next to the bedside of individuals.

There will be four men in military uniforms, among which there are two big men who carry guns during breaks, plus an awkward-looking "female soldier", and those who see it will know that the generous big boss is coming.

As long as it is a military contractor of the company, I have seen Zhang Nan's photos before: if you don't even know who you are working for and whose money you are taking, it is a joke.

Everyone joins the company for the first month or two is simply "taking money for nothing", such a boss is hard to find in the world: mercenaries generally have to play with their lives as soon as they get money!

Moreover, this daily salary is almost catching up with the average wartime standard in the industry, and the Americans and Israelis have a good impression of this Chinese boss.

It's also easy to see who is the contractor and who is the cowboy on the farm: the one who wears the uniform in the camp is the contractor, and those cowboys are not allowed to wear the uniform on the farm.

Cowboys and their families working on farms can also eat in the cafeteria, but the restaurant is separate from the contractors.

Militarized management, that's the rule.

The contractors have a good life, isn't it just to keep the training in the best condition, and no one is lazy in normal times, which is easier than combat, at least the training is generally not afraid of losing their heads.

Finding one's own death is an exception: it is not uncommon for people to die during training in the army, and it is always heard that the second-hand goods will blow up their own people by throwing a grenade, and even veterans will make mistakes if they let their guard down.

People who pass in front of Zhang Nan and the four of them will salute the boss, and Zhang Nan nods his head, which is regarded as a return gift.

Alyosha and Randy are interesting: the Chinese and American-style military salutes are served together, which makes the contractors passing by a little stunned!

"This person is from Huaxia?"

"This guy isn't us Americans?"

I didn't care about the strange colors of the contractors, Zhang Nan and Alyosha were used to it.

It is a bit like the cafeteria in Huaxia University, with a small American-style long table, not a common round table in the Huaxia Army.

There is a long table on the side, which should be a place for the guys to cook by themselves, which can be embedded in stainless steel basins, and the bottom can be kept warm with steam hot water, but this will be empty.

On the wall, there are also today's menus marked in Chinese and English: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised beef, stir-fried cucumbers with pork slices, spicy tofu, fried chicken with sauce, stewed kelp with pork chops, stir-fried cabbage, and seaweed egg drop soup.

Staple food: rice, butter buns.

After reading the menu, Zhang Nan said to the two people on the side: "I remember that there should be a cooking class among our guys, right?"

This is a common recipe in the Chinese army at all, but if it is the standard of every day, the Chinese army must be a class with a higher food standard.

Alyosha heard Zhang Nan's words and said, "There are a few guys who have worked as cooks in the army, but last time Thomas said that he had already been sent to Canada and Australia. ”

"Not here?"

There are no cooks in the camp, so who makes these dishes?

Helping the chef make a cameo?

Randy on the other side said: "Boss, there should be another one, but it may be too late for one person to eat for these two or three hundred people." The standard of demand for carrying out the mission is higher than that of the camp, and this individual is still the one who lives and dies in the camp and wants to stay. ”

At this time, an acquaintance appeared at the door, it was Hanson Bruce, the logistics chief of the "United Forces".

He had just arrived at the camp this time, and he had gone on errands.

Hearing the boss and bodyguard talking about the chef, Hansen came over and said with a smile: "Boss, the cook from Huaxia is simply superman, and he is the most popular person in the training camp!"

When we first came here, we provided American food, but allowed Huaxia staff to open their own small stoves without hindering training.

In less than two weeks, with the exception of a handful of American dishes such as barbecue, steak, butter bread and salad, only Chinese cuisine was served. ”

After listening to Han Sen's words, Zhang Nan asked Alyosha: "Our field army cooks also need military training, right?"

"Yes, except for the people in the cafeteria. The company's cooking class is not an ornament, but also needs training, and some leaders like to find trouble with the cooking class when they check the military training level of their subordinate units. ”

At this time, Hansen said: "There are employees from Israel who have mixed in mercenaries in Africa and South America before, and they say that if the Chinese cooks go to those places, they should be able to get top salaries." ”

Okay, it seems that the Chinese people will be connected with the kitchen everywhere they go, but looking at the appearance of Hanson Bruce, this cook's status here is still very high.

A few people went to the kitchen and saw a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old Chinese young man about 1.7 meters tall with a white apron and a big shovel in his hand.

"This is a new kitchen appliance that was newly assigned a few months ago according to the requirements of Huaxia cuisine. ”

It was Hansen who spoke: The American kitchen can't make Chinese cauldron dishes.

The young man was not alone at the stove, he was talking in stammering English to the three Americans with big shoulders and round waists, half a head taller than him.

"This pork slice fried cucumber, you have to fry the meat first, turn it frequently, and you can't be lazy......"

A few people on the side watched intently, looking humbly taught.

After frying, he put the pot into the insulated basin, and a few thirty or forty-year-old guys asked the young man a few words, which seemed to be some of the essentials of stir-frying just now.

"Those are the chefs we hired, and one of them came from West Virginia to learn, and Chinese cuisine is welcome.

In fact, many of our employees are still American stomachs, but the Huaxia cooks very fast, which is very important when performing tasks. American food can't do this speed, and field food is even worse than hot rice!"

After listening to Thomas's words, he saw that half of the dishes he was going to eat tonight had been made, and the chefs had already seen the person who was coming and knew that it was the boss who came.

The American chef began to get busy, and the Chinese man came over.

There was no salute, this was the kitchen, and I was wearing an apron.

Zhang Nan estimated that this guy should be from Yan County, but he did not speak his hometown, but English.

It's good to know that you are fellow countrymen, but you are the boss of these people, and it is easy to gang up when you only talk about the affection of your fellow countrymen.

"Good workmanship!"

Zhang Nan praised: I can also cook, and I can feel that the taste should be very good when I look at this stir-fry technique and smell the fragrance.

"I'm okay with my skills, boss. As long as the raw materials here are fresh, the beef is provided by the farm itself, the quality of other dishes is good, and the kitchen equipment is also convenient. ”

This is not shy, he knows that the boss is a fellow, but he doesn't have a proud expression at all, and he is decent.

"What do you call it?

"Jiang Hongrong, Army Company. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Nan's mind immediately appeared, "There is a training ground under the slope, and there is a hill on the side of the field, and there are herons and birds making nests everywhere on it. ".

He "once" went to the barracks of Jiang Hongrong's unit, but it was in 2000, and it was already the barracks of the armored infantry battalion of the first army and the first division at that time, but the symbol of "one company" was still there.

A company of the army, the average person may not know which unit this is: how can there be such a strange number?

But Zhang Nan knew.

"The first company in the world! Have you ever been to Laoshan?"

"Been there. ”

"Yes, good job!"

These two sentences Zhang Nan used Mandarin.

After a few more gossips about whether he was suitable for living in the United States, he turned to leave, but Alyosha glanced at the ordinary-looking cook.

Out of the kitchen, people appeared in the dining room one after another, all nodding to Zhang Nan and his group.

This is the restaurant, no need to salute.

Only then did Hansen say: "We only knew the characteristics of the staff's military skills before, and we didn't ask the old troops, the number of this company is really strange. ”

"Not surprising, because its full name is the First Army, one division, one regiment, one company. ”

When Han Sen heard this, he immediately said: "It turned out to be an army, very strong!"

Zhang Nan listened to Hansen's words and said, "You know?"

Han Sen smiled and said: "We have studied the ace units of the 13th Army, the 38th Army, and the 1st Army of the Chinese Army before, and we are definitely the best soldiers who can serve in a company of such numbers." ”

At this time, Randy asked in the back, "Alyosha, which unit did you use to have?"

I hadn't asked before, knowing that Alyosha probably wouldn't have spoken, just like Alyosha hadn't asked how Randy had trained when he was a seal.

I can't make it, anyway, I just need to understand and adapt to each other in the usual cooperation.

"As early as in the 13th Army. ”

Alyosha said proudly, and almost every veteran would be proud when he talked about his old troops.

And the 13th Army is also really bullish!

The 38th Army is the Banzai Army, but this says that the 13th Army and the 1st Army...... In fact, there is not much point in arguing about this, because many group armies in the Huaxia Army have amazing combat effectiveness, and each large military region has its own fist troops.

Like in the Jinling Military Region, the First Army is a coaxing existence, because it is indeed very strong!

Alyosha said that he came out of the 13th Army, but that's it, and he didn't say about the troops he served in later, it belonged to the secret unit.

"A company is used to being called the first company in the world, and if it were just a regular infantry battle, the seals would probably be suffocated. ”

Zhang Nan said casually, Randy and Hansen did not disagree, because they both knew that some army units in Huaxia had amazing combat effectiveness, and the training intensity was beyond imagination.

Needless to say, the will to fight of the First Army, regardless of the distance, the performance of the two mountains during the battle can be seen.

Chariz Theron was stunned when she heard this, she was too far away in the Huaxia army, and her mind was not on the topic of Brother Allen and Uncle Alyosha.

Because she's hungry.

Soon, the long table was covered with sumptuous food, and everyone lined up with stainless steel trays to eat.

The buffet style also offers several drinks, including oranges as after-dinner fruit.

Alice and the other bodyguards also arrived at the dining room, and the four of them ate at a small table.

Zhang Nan sat with Alice and Little Charlie, and the others didn't come to join in the fun.

At first, Chariz Theron ate a little gently, but soon became infected by the surrounding environment: gulping into his mouth and gobbling it up.

Militarized management, no matter where it comes from, this eating speed is not slow.

The taste is good, although not as fine as Andy Lew or Daniel does, but the essence of the big pot dish is there.

Looking at the appearance of the employees of the nearby company, I understood why I wanted to find a way to keep that Jiang Hongrong as the camp cook, Huaxia cauldron dishes are definitely popular!

After eating, Zhang Nan asked the women to go back first, and went to the camp conference room with Guan Xingquan and Hansen. Twenty minutes later, there was a small meeting to hear from several managers of the camp.

As for the actual training, it will be tomorrow.

After the meeting ended at half past eight, I left the conference room, and it was already very cold outside.

I found a group of people coming out of a building on the side, who were still speaking English, and the group of people was chattering and chattering.

"English school?"

Zhang Nan knew that there was such a thing.

"Every night for an hour and a half, the guys from China learn English, and the people from China and Israel learn Chinese. In order to improve communication, at least the people on both sides should be able to understand the military terminology commonly used by each side when mixing. ”

Sure enough, a group of guys with Chinese in their mouths came out of the back, and it seemed that both sides were starting classes at the same time.

......

Zhang Nan went back to the villa to sleep, and he had to go back to Alice Hu in the dark.

When I went out at eight o'clock the next day, I saw that it was not a Humvee waiting for me at the door of the villa, but three cars that were the same as those I had in New York.

But if you look closely, it's a little different: the steps of the villa are flat on the ground, and you can see that the roofs of the three black bulletproof cars at the entrance of the station have a large circular structure, about one or two centimeters higher than the rest of the place.

Hansen was also waiting on the side of the car with his bodyguards, and Zhang Nan couldn't help but say, "! Hansen, you can get this too! I can use it?"
