At the end of the award ceremony, of course, it was a dinner, and we ate in the big canteen not far from the Sword Office Building. Today this canteen has once again welcomed a big shot. Of course, the leaders did not open a small stove, and they lined up to eat like ordinary officers and soldiers, but today they added 3 dishes, one is roasted whole sheep, one is braised pond horn fish, and the other is braised rabbit meat. Even if it's an extra meal, the portion is very generous. The chiefs, including the old man, the first person and the entourage all lined up to eat, but they just left a window. After all, the sword is a unit with high training intensity, and the food is better than the food of the air force, generally three meat and three vegetarian, plus fruits, soups, and staple foods are more varied, millet porridge, rice, steamed buns, noodles, etc. for the soldiers to choose, you can eat as you like, but you can't waste it. Most of the materials used in the canteen of the sword are homegrown in the villages of the forbidden area. Of course, pasta and the like cannot be self-produced, is this the south, does not produce wheat, the main meat, vegetables and fruits are self-produced. The farm in the restricted area is called Red Star Farm. Mainly because of the close proximity to the Xuantian Temple, the agricultural products produced in the fields are all first-class pollution-free green food. Not to mention delicious, it also has high nutritional value, mainly because these products contain aura, which is not up to the content of other agricultural products. All the produce here is special. It is not for sale, and I haven't seen a Il-74 transport plane take off on time at half past seven every day and fly north, which is specially designed to transport Red Star Farm to Beijing. The people who work in this Red Star Farm are the families of the active duty officers, or the families of the soldiers who died in the Sword Brigade. or the families of disabled fighters. The salary here is very high, with a salary of 3,000 yuan per month. The main thing is that there are a lot of benefits like civil servants, and even better than civil servant treatment. Why do you say that, as long as the military family members who work on the farm are covered with three meals a day, and the children in the family go to school until they graduate from college, the tuition and miscellaneous expenses are basically covered. Not to mention free medical treatment. Here is one person joining the army, and the whole family is happy. Like a married martyr, not only his own family lives in the forbidden area, but his wife's side also tries to take care of it, unless the other party sees our soldiers sacrifice and remarry, but if there are still children, the forbidden area is still responsible for the descendants of the martyrs to graduate from college.

Red Star Farm is in the inside of the forbidden area, and the division of the forbidden area is centered on the highest peak at the northern foot of the West Mountain in Nanping County, and a 20-kilometer semicircle is drawn as the boundary of the forbidden area. This forbidden area is divided into three cordons, the first is the outermost cordon of 20 kilometers, the second is the second cordon of 18 kilometers, and the third is the core of the 15-kilometer cordon. Between the first and second lines of the cordon is the barracks of the armed police force, and between the second and third lines is the barracks of the armored regiment and the airfield of the air force special service regiment to the north. Within the third cordon is the farm, which is in addition to the sword base, the old man's residence, the Xuantian Temple, and the factory headquarters of the farm, as well as the military residential area, are all within the scope of the farm, that is, outside the unit, where things can be planted.

In this way, if it weren't for the limited number of farm personnel, they couldn't plant so many places, and the entire forbidden area would have to grow crops, and many of the mountains and hills in the forbidden area were in a state of abandonment, not that nothing was planted, but some trees were planted to let them grow naturally, and now these trees have been towering trees for decades. The land here is so special, and the things that come out of it are good.

Red Star Farm has less than 300,000 acres of land developed, and there are still large areas of idle land that are unmanaged and have no energy to develop. Think there are too few people in the restricted area. Now there are more than 1,000 military dependents on the job, don't think that a soldier will have a military family, haha, there are conditions for officers on active duty to be able to lead military dependents, and cadres at the company level and above. At present, there are only about 300 military dependents of the armed police brigade, the air force special service regiment, and the armored regiment. The main source of staff on the farm is the military martyrs of the sword. It has not yet reached the point where the family of every active sword warrior can come to the forbidden area. There are less than 100 families of the Sword Army in active service, and the rest are disabled Sword Warriors who have settled here.

The factory headquarters of Red Star Farm is less than 4 kilometers away from Lijian, mainly to facilitate the commuting of staff in the family area. There is a slaughterhouse, a rice processing plant, a meat processing plant, and a washing place for vegetables, melons and fruits. There is also a large cold storage, as well as rows of rice warehouses, and a dairy farm. Anyway, the agricultural products of Red Star Farm have to prepare a special plane every day, weighing 40 tons, which includes freshly picked seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as processed beef, sheep, chicken, duck and goose meat, plus fish caught yesterday. Of course, you also have to transport enough rice for a day. If you encounter special holidays, such as Qingming Festival, May Day, Dragon Boat Festival, July 1st, Mid-Autumn Festival, 11th, New Year, etc., then you have to increase the amount of transportation, at least two or even three special planes. Red Star agricultural products are directly purchased from above, and as many as you want. Of course, these agricultural products are mainly for officials at or above the ministerial level in Beijing, as well as the canteens of the two main departments, not to mention where everyone knows where. The income of Red Star Farm is very considerable, no less than 20 billion dragon coins per year. Originally, the forbidden area belonged to the Xuantian Temple, so the income of the Red Star Farm was half of the farm and half of the Xuantian Temple. Half of this money belongs to the Xuantian Temple, which is used for the expenses of the Xuantian Temple. The annual income of the farm is one billion yuan, but these money belong to the forbidden area, and this money still falls on Xiang Ming's head, except for the normal expenses of the farm, the annual balance is called to Xiang Ming's card together with the half that belongs to Xuantian Temple. However, Xiang Ming is also very generous, and every year he takes out a large amount of money from it to subsidize the food expenses of the sword, the Air Force Special Service Regiment, the Armored Regiment, and the Armed Police Brigade, as well as the allowance and subsidy for each officer and soldier. and the allowance for military dependents and veterans living in the military dependency area. Take the ordinary officers and soldiers of the armed police as an example, each soldier is subsidized with 500 a month's money, which is considered a bonus, and the official is a subsidy between 800 and 1,000. The armed police are 1,500 people, and the annual subsidy is not small. The 1,500 people of the armored regiment are also this standard, and the same is true of the 1,500 people of the Air Force special service regiment. There are also 1,500 people in active service. However, this has to be counted as a subsidy, that is, the subsidy for the soldiers who have died in the forbidden area since the establishment of the forbidden area. In the martyrs' cemetery in the forbidden area, where are 1,200 martyrs lying down. This is the number of people who have died since the establishment of the exclusion zone in the 80s of the last century. Not counting the disabled and discharged soldiers, there are nearly 600 people. These two items add up to 1,600 people, and each person has a monthly subsidy of 1,000 yuan of dragon coins, of course, if the sacrificed soldiers are orphans, they will be exempted. These are all welfare plans that Xiang Ming has implemented since he took charge of the Great Seal at the age of eight. It's all Xiang Ming's own money.

The products of Red Star Farm are basically invisible outside, just take rice as an example, Thailand's fragrant rice is expensive, 20 yuan a catty, and the rice of Red Star Farm is also purchased at this price, but the rice produced by Red Star is several times higher than the quality of Thai fragrant rice, needless to say that this is stained with the light of Red Star Farm. Spend the same amount of money to buy more and better agricultural products, no matter how you say it, you earn it from above. However, if you let the rich people outside know that most of the dishes eaten at the state banquet are from Red Star Farm, it is estimated that even if the rice is 500 yuan a catty, they will rush to buy it.

The rice of the Red Star Farm, fortunately, is only known to people who have eaten it for a while, and generally do not tell outsiders that they know. Those who can eat are provided in rations every day, and when they tell others, isn't that just snatching food in their own mouths?

Now the chiefs ate the same as the sword warriors, and of course the South Vietnamese captives had paid the ransom, and after signing a series of humiliating unequal treaties, the sword had also improved their treatment, bathed them, changed their clothes, and of course there were no suits or the like, but only camouflage uniforms. For dinner, just one meat, one vegetable and one soup, it's cheaper for them, who is called Lijian, and the food here is all agricultural products from the Red Star Farm. It's too troublesome to go out and buy ordinary rice, meat and vegetables, so I give them whole fish to eat, anyway, the fish is basically a disaster.

After eating, as for how the first-person delegation negotiated with the South Vietnamese high-level, Xiang Ming didn't have to worry about it, now the South Vietnamese high-level has improved the living environment and lives in the guest house of Lijian.

Now they can't be let out, they still have use value, this is not in the heavily guarded guest house, in a room, a telephone is installed, and now these high-level people are talking to the country separately, mainly to stabilize the domestic situation, otherwise they will be missing for too long, and their position is really not guaranteed. No, President Nguyen Bai just ended a video call with the country. The meaning expressed is that the disappearance of the presidential palace is not true, they ran out of the secret passage and went to the state's hidden shelter in an emergency, and now they are safe, and they will return to the presidential palace in the near future, and now the power is temporarily handed over to the third prime minister. Just wait for them to go back, what to do now. Calling the disappearance a drill to the outside world.
