Chapter 21 Promotions

The day after he returned, Zhou Huai'an was promoted again, although it was only a verbal promotion and a self-imposed title; The reason is that he has been screening outside these days, and he has won back a lot of benefits for the Fury Wind Battalion, so he was promoted to the deputy management battalion after being rewarded for his merits, and he jumped over the ranks of fire chief, team deputy, and team leader, and was treated like a deputy lieutenant on a daily basis.

Although these are their own titles, and all the treatment and rank are limited to the use of the Fury Wind Battalion, at least they also represent the status of the middle level of the camp, as well as the legitimate command and supervision, and the qualifications and titles of the hundreds of auxiliary personnel.

For example, if he encounters his subordinates and other people who violate the law, he has enough disposal and decision-making power, instead of turning his head and asking to communicate with Wang Pan and then deal with it accordingly. For this reason, the deputy Lao Guan and the other two non-commissioned officers have changed from close protection to obedient subordinates, mainly as arms and assistants for daily execution.

In addition, Wang Pan also explained in public that as a "monk" of special treatment, his food standard will be improved by two levels and compared with the treatment of the brigade commander's deputy, and only a dozen people such as himself and Deng Cun, and there is no limit on the number of meals taken, and you can eat as much as you want; Among them, the boxing envelope can be seen.

Since there is some kind of goodwill shown by the forces that are temporarily sheltering, it doesn't matter if you leave the other party a little inconsequentially before finding an opportunity to leave in the future.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't have more and better ideas and choices, it's just that Zhou Huai'an still understands the truth of fighting rice and hatred, and feels and sees it in that land of Africa. At least the many encounters and fates of various civil society groups and humanitarian organizations are well illustrated by the fact that those who rely only on wishful thinking and lack adequate preparation and anticipation of investigation, and who have simply been brainwashed into the white left by so-called political correctness.

As the third fire in his new position, he mainly used the limited manpower at hand to slightly change the layout and planning of the camp, and then carried out the preliminary cleaning and tidying;

First of all, a round of cleaning was carried out by concentrated manpower, and more than a dozen truckloads of garbage and waste were removed, and the rags accumulated in each room were also collected; In this way, it is much better in terms of the surrounding environment and smells that you see in your daily life.

He also filled in many potholed sinkholes with shovels and hoes, shoveled away and trimmed the muddy roads and the floor of sheds, and covered the exposed hard ground with fine sand brought back from the river; Then dig a simple diversion ditch along the side of the road in the camp to avoid the environment where mosquitoes continue to breed, and it also has a certain long-lasting function of rainproof;

At least until there is enough deworming medicine, Zhou Huai'an doesn't want to be bitten by the ubiquitous mosquitoes every day, let alone the tropical infectious diseases that may be brought about by it; Although these old rebels who have been accustomed to a rough life in the wilderness, or the needless numb soldiers who have been tormented by the hardships of life, have become accustomed to this kind of living environment in the dirt and filth.

However, once it is improved, the effect and feeling are obvious.

Therefore, after receiving encouragement and praise from the upper echelons headed by Wang Pan, he simply stipulated the location of the toilet and the other party's garbage disposal area, and obtained Wang Pan's consent to send people to supervise and inspect the camp. Because of the limited number of people in the camp and the support of the head of Wang Pan, it only took two or three days to rectify the atmosphere of defecation and littering in the midst of complaints.

Then he made persistent efforts to formulate the rules for the unified collection and cleaning of the personal belongings of the non-commissioned officers, the simple rotation of cleaning the shed before getting up every day, the simple transformation of the warehouse where the debris was cleared, and the long table made of more than a dozen wooden planks nailed became the most basic officer canteen that could shelter from the wind and rain, as well as a place for daily gatherings and activities;

Then the kitchen was moved to the stable next door, and the wet mud and bamboo frame were re-used against the wall to build a number of large stoves that could process more people's food, and then made subtle adjustments to divide the different uses of boiling water and boiling soup, steaming rice and making cakes.

In this way, he has the boiling water he uses to scrub and clean his body and ensure that he is hydrated, and by the way, it can also be used to process and keep some food warm privately.

The relocated barns have also been renovated to a certain extent, and forage, drinking water and manure have also been treated separately; At least the helpers who need to sleep with their animals in their arms at night don't have to be in the company of filth.

As for the further personal service in the various non-commissioned officers' sheds, it is not something that he can casually ignore and interfere with, after all, this involves the authority of the battalion commander and the effectiveness of personal habits, and too much overstepping the lord's deputy is obviously not interesting.

Although he can't change most of his personal hygiene habits for the time being, he can still make a difference by improving his surroundings a little.

You know, he originally wanted to build a shed for bathing, but when he thought that this was the Lingnan region with a hot and humid climate all year round, and there was a ready-made river nearby to use, it seemed a bit redundant.

It was only when the acceptance and inspection were completed that another small episode occurred; Because it was so hot, they brought several large buckets, and the servants scooped up half a scoop of water from the uncovered open vats, and drank it with a grunt, and poured the rest on their faces, revealing a very refreshing look.

"Where Does This Water Come From?"

Looking at the muddy water stains flowing from the corners of these people's mouths, Zhou Huai'an asked with some surprise.

"Of course, it was picked directly from the nearby ditch."

A handyman team leader replied cautiously.

"Hah."

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but feel a little creepy, could it be that all the people in the camp drank these days were this kind of ghostly thing?

"What's wrong?"

Wang Pan saw his face and couldn't help but wonder.

"That's the water I drink, too."

"General, I remember that there were many people buried in the ditch."

Zhou Huai moved with peace of mind, and pretended to be shocked.

"And a lot of filth."

"Once the rain comes down, it's all washed down."

"What a good thing is this."

At this moment, many people's faces changed, and Wang Pan couldn't help but shout

"Is there any remedy?"

"Yes, there is, but we have to prevent it from the root."

Zhou Huai'an is so difficult.

"Otherwise, there will always be big trouble."

"Well said, as long as you have a way."

Wang Pan immediately patted his chest and puffed.

"Just say what kind of manpower and use you need."

So, after spending more than half a day and sweating profusely, Zhou Huai'an designed and debugged it by himself, and let people use a number of pebbles and sifted fine sand, cloth and charcoal powder, connected together with water tanks and wooden barrels, to form a simple self-flowing filter tower, which was born in the barracks;

No matter how turbid the water source is, as long as it is poured into the largest tank, after layers of filtration and precipitation, the final flow out of the barrel is obvious clear water. Theoretically, it can then be drunk directly as cold water.

In the future, the labor cost will only be to regularly replace and clean the sieve, cloth and container; Moreover, the full set of containers that are the main body can be taken away with a trolley, and the pebbles and sand needed are just ready-made items that can be taken everywhere.

In the end, Zhou Huai'an personally tried the water drained out, although it still has a slightly invisible muddy smell, but as long as it is put in the precipitation and then boiled, it can be the drinking water with the longest shelf life.

"Okay, you monk, you really have some wonderful ideas"

Wang Pan, who was full of medicinal taste, couldn't help but sigh loudly.

"Wouldn't that save you the trouble of finding water?"

Under the influence of this kind of aftermath, the next step is that Zhou Huai'an gradually entered the state of acting and presiding over the operation and management role of logistics and miscellaneous items.

Anyway, there are 100 people under him, and when most people in this era talk about problems and difficulties in coordination and management, Yu Zhou Huai'an is not a big deal; In fact, he participated in the support of compulsory education in the upper mountainous area, and also participated in the organization of aid projects among African tribes.

The simple grouping and slicing responsibility system, the primitive performance appraisal of competition and food as a means of incentives, and the invisible threat of corporal punishment for slackness and laziness can easily stimulate (squeeze) the enthusiasm of these newcomers and newcomers.

Zhou Huai'an also found that the most useful part of this unknown system on his body was the auxiliary functions of computing processing and scanning records, so Zhou Huai'an found that he had the ability to remember and calculate quickly.

Zhou Huai'an, who was busy (stealing all private goods), saw that Xiaochai Lieutenant again, it was more than half a month later.
