Chapter 37: Preparation for the Dove to Occupy the Magpie's Nest

"It's a breath of fresh industrial air again." Dr. Wei climbed out of the cabin and jumped comfortably down the ladder onto the patrol boat that was holding the caravan's boat.

"Industry, you big head, this is just diesel exhaust gas." The captain of the patrol boat patted the shoulder of the envoy who had gone thousands of miles away, went deep behind enemy lines, risked his life to do great things. "The young man did a good job, go back and wait for the official to be knighted!"

Dr. Wei responded with a smile, but asked an unrelated question: "Comrade Captain, do you have a shower near this checkpoint?" ”

"Yes." The captain was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Dr. Wei smelled of perfume - he must have not taken a good shower for a few days. "Xiao Xia, put the traffic boat down and take our Zhang Qian to take a shower-"

"Order~" Before Dr. Wei could react to who this Zhang Qian was and who had done something big, the first mate, who was called Xiao Xia, had already manipulated the crane to lower the traffic boat, and stretched out his hand to make a petition. "Honorable guest, please - "

"Come on, you also compare me to Zhang Qian. Why don't you say I'm Tang Ju? Dr. Wei picked up the line and stepped into the traffic boat with a wry smile.

"Very well, let's get down to business." Restraining the smile on his face, another envoy in the cabin also came out of the cabin, because his appearance was no different from that of the other crew members, so Frank deliberately waved his RF tag a few times.

The captain here also took out his mobile phone and turned on the NFC function with a stroke of his finger. In contrast, the person in the picture is the same as the person in front of him - but that's not all.

"The fifth power of two is ......"

"Four-eight-thirty-two." The questioner used Elta's lingua franca, and the person who answered was actually in Chinese. This back and forth, the people on the two ships were a little surprised.

"Mr. Frank, it's a pleasure to confirm your identity." The captain stretched out his hand, and Frank held it firmlyβ€”and with a pull, he pulled the captain onto the merchant ship on the heights.

Naturally, the lads in the back were not treated like this, so they had to climb slowly along the ladder.

"It's not the first time you've been to Elta. How to do it, naturally I don't need to continue to teach you, open a position! ”

Vejery took the lead and nodded heavily. "Please also search as you like, as our sincerity."

"What you want above is not that you are sincere in what you transport, but that you must also be sincere in the future." The captain replied with something to say.

Frank is not as delicate as Dr. Wei, and the bath can be slowed down and slowed down. At this time, he was coordinating the communication between the two sides on the deck - and of course there were crew members searching layer after layer below.

"Dr. Wei arrived at the checkpoint safely." Naturally, the news quickly spread to the command center like a wild horse. After a while, the picture version of the ciphertext was also uploaded.

"Take money from others and extinguish disasters for others. It's really inexplicable that this disaster is not us. Okay, then since they want to die, let's give them a good ride. ”

The microphone-amplified declaration was loud.

"The code name of this action has also been determined, which is 'processing with supplied materials'. Of course, this operation also needs the assistance of all departments under the leadership of all of you. You will soon receive the action plan and timetable from the OA, and we ask for your full cooperation. -- Adjournment. ”

"According to the visible light images taken on the morning of the 19th, at least 38 of the 43 enemy strongholds have been replaced, and two are on their way within a day......"

"Spare parts for the new fighter have been delivered, and it is expected that the number of sorties will be guaranteed ......"

"Good weather conditions are expected on the front side of the Cierta front today and tomorrow, and visibility is suitable for a sustained attack on the ground."

The exchange of documents between hands and airwaves is done. "Where's the wind?"

"It depends on the weather records of the past few days - you wait a minute, I'll call it."

……

"Workers! Be quiet! The three teams, if they quarrel for a while, they won't give you any more food-"

The shaking of people's heads in the field began to stop, and the results were immediate.

"Ahem, let's put it this way, it's a very important thing to gather you after work today."

The audience began to make noise again, and the foreman had to swing his hands down, "Calm down - I'll send out additional meal tickets as soon as I'm done!" ”

"Let's put it this way, starting tomorrow, the group of invaders who hit the land of Elta will have to suffer!"

Cheers, whistles, all sounded in unison, and there were helmets flying in the sky.

"And that's not all, the cowardly tortoise shells, the forts, the barracks - tomorrow it will become the territory of Elta's soldiers! The three teams next door built a wall for them, and the four groups of five teams in the building next door repaired their houses, so what are we going to do? ”

Well, this second team is responsible for the construction of the Northeast Logistics Park in Mendong. The main thing is to build roads.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Road! That's right, build roads! "The voices of more than two hundred Elta men went from sparse to dense and unified again.

The foreman pressed again, "Everyone is very smart, it seems that there are a lot of night schools." I want to tell you that tomorrow we will join the construction of the 'Cierta Wartime Emergency Road Network'. Speaking of the noun, the foreman took out a red-headed manuscript and began to read it. The construction team is already composed entirely of Erta - including the foreman.

"Before tonight, each team and each shift will fill in the form of the construction situation, and tomorrow there will be other construction teams to complete the finishing work. That night, a family member went to inform me, and there was no family to pack up their things, so I said, if you don't have a girlfriend, hurry up and chase one, so as not to write a love letter in the wilderness, you know? ”

There was laughter again.

"For a total of twelve days before we repaired the road, we each received an additional hazard work allowance of the highest level each dayβ€”"

The off-field commotion has almost maximized. Three yuan a day is the highest level of dangerous work allowance for ordinary road construction workers. But this is already several times their current daily wage.

"With so much money and such high hopes from the emperor, do you have the confidence to repair the road?"

"Yes!"

……

Meanwhile, in Shield City, a horse leaps from a freshly built concrete road onto an old stone pavement.

The man on the horse was dressed in a traditional Elta knight's costume and held an untimely electric horn in his hand. As he rode his horse, he shouted:

"Don't miss the owner of the horse in the city! Don't miss the owner of the horse in the city! Now the army is requisitioning horses, and the army is requisitioning horses...... Paid well......"

Shouting this, the neighbors who have horses in their homes can't help but feel nervous. "Requisition" has always been a loss for the people, and it is not necessarily the result of bleeding from the officials. The title deed of a house is written in black and white, but horses are different.

"Five yuan a day, five yuan a day, and the horse dies and loses money...... Renting is better than requisitioning, you can't talk about losing a horse, and you can't talk about being fooled with a horse...... If you are interested, hurry up and take the horse to the city hall......"

Two dollars. That's kind of interesting. What the? Lose money when you die?

"Rider, you stay - if you die, you will lose money, do you have a black and white note?" Before the rider could drive his horse to the next street, someone shouted from across the door.

The impatient answer arrived immediately. "And take a picture of your horse, and make a note, of course!"

The rider was still very depressed, and even if he had an urgent task, no one paid attention to it - it was five yuan. Five dollars! It only takes ten days, and that's the scene. I heard that a qualified horse pays fifty, this left fifty, right fifty, not a hundred yuan together? The legendary red paper yo ......

And the current group of small people, why don't they hurry up and lead the horses to the city hall? The conditions are so good, or is it not bad for everyone in Shield City to hide gold and silver in their homes?

At the same time, the purchase of horse grass, forage, and all kinds of horse equipment began to be carried out. Riders and carriages are not a problem, in order to meet the emergency, Mendong City has long piled up hundreds of rubber four-wheeled carriages (goods) in the warehouse. As for the riders, they were naturally drawn from the current army and under Doniva. There are already a lot of people in the army who can ride horses, so there is no need to worry about this.

As for the reasons for this? The army of several regiments had to go to the front line for training and stationing in rotation, "feel the atmosphere of actual combat", and at the same time prepare for the final decisive battle of Elta's reunification, and the territory was already prepared, just waiting for the gunboat machine to "sound a cannon", or withdraw willingly, or wait for people to wash away the flesh and blood.

Down, this is not a problem, the weather and wind direction and visibility are all calculated, and a few ups and downs can uproot these strongholds. But to allow the army to be stationed or even permanent, there is a logistical problem involved.

The front line of Cierta, which had been scorched and had been scorched, could not get anything, and every grain of flour had to be transported to the rear. The dirt roads near the border with Sierta are even worse when soaked in the rainy season, and of course the battle-hardened SX250 is not afraid of this bit of mud. The problem is that some roads are too narrow or inevitably pass over bridges. Therefore, the plan that the military came up with has a total of four paths.

First, the group of strongholds close to the river bank is transported by temporary pontoon docks and barges towed by patrol boats. Second, the construction team from Mendong City cooperated with the army's engineering unit (which was actually the guide) to build a high-standard dirt road that would allow vehicles to pass through.

Thirdly, horses were requisitioned from all over Cierta to cooperate with the carriages and carry out front-line transportation. Fourth, transport planes urgently airlifted supplies to strongholds where supplies were scarce. After such a set, it finally makes people feel a little feasible.

It is important to know that not only people eat horses, but also ammunition, fuel, and even power stations and other facilities that will keep the bases running have to be delivered from the rear little by little. If the new army had no ammunition, the guys in their hands would be burning sticks -- and they would have to play with the Western Expeditionary Army in battle formations and bayonets -- and no matter what the odds of victory were, each of these soldiers was painstakingly cultivated, and it was distressing to lose even one of them because of poor logistics.
