"Sure enough, it's a young man......" Yan Kou inserted a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Boss Yan, are you optimistic about this matter?" Arnold asked.

"He's not the first one who wants to ask for supplies from above." Yan Kou said, "But which one succeeded? ”

"Huh?" Arnold sighed, "Does that mean our new captain won't be able to supply this time?" The patrol ship is running out of energy, and many parts should be replaced. I've applied for it many times, but no one has paid attention to it, so what can I do......"

"Cold salad." Yan Kou finished his meal and picked at the gap between his teeth with a toothpick.

"Boss Yan, who are you with?!"

"I don't know, I can't get supplies with anyone anyway."

"Brother Bowen, look at him!"

Bowen put down the cutlery in his hand.

"Senior, don't tease the children."

Yan Kou sighed: "I also think this is to tease Arnold, but the things on our spaceship have bottomed out again, and we have applied to it and there is no reply...... Alas, if we don't send anything down, we can only cruise in the flesh. ”

"Poof...... Bowen couldn't help laughing, "Flesh cruise...... It's a shame that you think about it. ”

Yan Kou spread his hands: "The spaceship is running out of energy, and the cruise mission stipulated by the military department cannot be completed, what should I do if I don't have a body." ”

"Alas......" Arnold let out a long sigh with a sad face.

Yan Kou glanced at him: "Little child's family, sigh what!" ”

Arnold immediately exploded: "I'm not young, I'm an adult at the age of eighteen!" ”

Yan Kou stretched out his hand and flicked the fried child's brain, causing the child to scream.

In Arnold's angry protest, Bowen took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked out the door meaningfully.

"There's always a way."

Yan Kou also glanced at the door out of the corner of his eye and nodded.

……

After Shang Si hung up the communication, he almost couldn't help but throw out the light brain.

I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness. When asked about logistics for supplies, he replied with the sentence "It's not that there is nothing in the warehouse at the specified time". Coaxing ghosts, he Shangsi is not a fool, how can he not know that they are just looking for excuses and don't want to give.

directly contacted the superiors of the eighth detachment, but the colonel didn't listen to Shang Si and directly reprimanded Shang Si, what kind of luxury and waste, not paying attention to economy. That's how all the border army detachments distribute supplies, why can't you get by?

Shang Si waited for nearly an hour before he had the opportunity to interject about the deduction of supplies, and then the colonel was stunned, but immediately used a lot of words such as "It's not easy to apply for supplies in the current environment", "The army has limited resources", "You have to understand the difficulties of your superiors", "The difficult conditions are your training...... Bala Bala Bala, a bunch of nonsense to prevaricate Shang Si, and then without waiting for Shang Si to speak, he hung up the communication directly.

It is really Shang Si who has developed the attribute of facial paralysis and no mouth under the supervision of the system, otherwise Shang Si will definitely flip the table directly (╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

The main task of the Frontier Army used to be to eliminate the Zerg, but after the victory of the Anti-Invasion War, the main function of the squad under the Frontier Army was transformed into patrolling the star field and tracking the Zerg's slipping through the net.

Now the Zerg has rarely appeared, so the upper echelons began to dismantle the border army, and at the beginning of this year, the sixth disarmament was mainly carried out against the border army.

It's a good thing that there are fewer and fewer Zergs, but the border army is also becoming less and less valued, not to mention the reduction of personnel, and even equipment supplies and the like are difficult to be approved when they are declared to logistics.

After the end of the anti-invasion war, the government shifted the focus of its administration to economic construction, and the resources allocated to the army were already very limited. And in the limited competition for resources, how can the border army earn more than the central army. Unless the Central Army doesn't want something, it's their turn.

It is no longer easy for the front-line troops of the border army to maintain their basic functions under such a lack of resources, and as a result, the small amount of supplies is still coveted by others.

These are the things that Shang Si only knows now.

When he filled out the letter of intent at the military academy, he also thought that it might be very difficult for the border army, but he thought that it was because "front-line patrols were boring and boring, and there was basically no prospect of promotion." He did not expect that it was actually the difficulty of "being deducted from supplies, understaffed, and outdated equipment."

And he reflected upwards that the above was simply an attitude of not caring at all.

Shang Si raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, this sentence is really applicable in any era. Anxing Province is located on the border of the Shengyue Star Domain, and without effective supervision and attention, it will of course breed the phenomenon of greed for ink.

Now there are only two ways in front of Shang Si, either to fight with the above, and report one level at a time. However, Shang Si felt that before he could defeat these people, he would be turned into a small soldier, and maybe he would be kicked out of the army. But in this way, his system task will not be completed, and the result of failure will be obliteration, and he has not lived enough.

Another way is to find a way to get resources yourself. But Shang Si was from an ordinary civilian background, how could he have so much money to support a small detachment, and the energy spent on patrol ships every month alone was enough to sell him a hundred times.

Individuals have no choice but to start a side hustle collectively.

Detachment 8 still has a working patrol ship, which is older, but at least much better than some merchant ships. So, why don't you let the patrol ship do some private work?

This is essentially a public tool for private use, but Shang Si can't think of other methods at this stage. In any case, he couldn't do anything else.

Some units of the border army, in order to save energy and supplies, have now begun to falsify patrol records. In remote places, they don't even go on patrols at all.

But the fundamental task of the border army now is to find the Zerg who have slipped through the net, and those Zerg will only hide in remote and uninhabited places in the star field, how can the border army find them if they don't inspect those corners and corners.

It was reported in the news that the Zerg had not appeared for many years, and that eighty percent of them had perished. Shang Si didn't come here, and when he didn't understand the situation, he might believe it. But now, thinking of the dark corners and not knowing how many Zerg were hidden, Shang Si felt a chill in his heart.

Just like the Zerg encountered by the Dodo this time, maybe they grew up in a corner that couldn't be patrolled. Good luck this time, otherwise the entire spaceship would have to fill in more than 200 lives.

This shows that the hidden danger of the Zerg has not been completely eliminated, but Shang Si doesn't understand how the higher-ups view this matter.

The Dodo incident had already been reported, but so far, there had been no response to the report on the Zerg except for a reply to the request for supplies.

It is true that the Zerg is an E-level low-level Zerg, but this Zerg attacked the spaceship, almost causing more than 200 casualties, and it stands to reason that it should attract the attention of Sheng Yue's upper echelons. This incident proves that the Zerg are not extinct, they still exist, and they can even threaten human safety. In order to prevent such a thing from happening next time, the military department should arrange a sweep of the border area. If you are really afraid of wasting resources, you should at least clean up in Anxing Province, a place where there are already Zerg infested.

But so far, Shang Si has not received any news about this incident within the army, and there is no news about the Dodo even on the Star Network.

The Zerg attack was as if it hadn't happened, leaving no trace.

Such an attitude undoubtedly shows the meaning of the above, which is to suppress this matter. Sheng Yue is making every effort to develop economic construction at this stage, and all resources are inclined to construction, if this incident breaks out, it is difficult to guarantee that the people will not ask the government to use a lot of manpower and material resources to find the Zerg because of panic. Moreover, the sixth disarmament decision made by the upper echelons of Sheng Yue at the beginning of the year will also be condemned.

However, this decision is based on the premise that there is really not much left of the Zerg, otherwise if such a thing happens a few times, Sheng Yue's upper echelons will not be able to cover it up.

Shang Si felt that Sheng Yue's upper echelons would not make an obviously problematic decision. Although he had always felt that the number of remaining Zerg might not be as small as people thought, he was just guessing without evidence. Sheng Yue's upper echelons have a lot of information in their hands, and their analysis of the Zerg should be much more accurate than his, although I don't know how they made their judgment on the number of Zerg, but their conclusion may be correct in a large way.

It's just that the one Zerg that appeared in the Dodo incident actually has the ability to absorb the energy of the protective shield, and it is a new kind of Zerg, and the above should pay attention to such changes. But apart from that report, Shang Si was not summoned for details. Why Shang Si hasn't guessed this until now.

It's really hard to understand what the upper echelons are thinking.

Shanth pulled back the thought that had stretched too far. No matter what, he did see the Zerg, and he was not afraid of 10,000, he was afraid of what happened, and he always had to be ready to encounter this kind of thing again.

Anyway, he couldn't go on a cruise with a cruiser (running out of energy) and a mech (in a semi-scrapped state). It's irresponsible to do that to anyone.

But he really didn't have any experience in how to get the fleet to take on personal work, and he was a recent military cadet, and he didn't have so many connections.

Why don't you ask those four people from the eighth detachment?

Shang thought about it.

It's just that Shang Si is a little unsure of how they will react to this matter.

While he was still thinking about these things, there was a knock on the door.

"Captain, do you want lunch?" Sune asked outside the door.

Shang Si opened the door, and Sune was standing outside with a tray that didn't look like it was made by a machine.

Once inside, Sune placed the tray on the table. Shang Si picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

"You did it?" Shang Si asked.

"Yes." Sune replied a little shyly.

Not many people like the set meal made by Ji Qì, so he borrowed the kitchen of the supply point and made a few home-cooked side dishes.
