Chapter 9 Refugee Camps (3)

"Great idea!" I immediately agreed to Major Lana's suggestion: "Then this matter will be troublesome to Major Lana, we don't know each other well...... There is Major Laura arranged! ”

"Battalion Commander Yang said so, and he saw the outside!" Major Rana bowed to me and said solemnly: "These refugees can be said to be unknown to Battalion Commander Yang, but Battalion Commander Yang will also donate generously for them, and the most precious thing is ...... Battalion Commander Yang didn't ask for anything in return...... Because you even conscripted from refugees because of their unwillingness to increase the burden on them...... This kind of spirit is very admirable to me, and it is natural to do what you can! ”

I was a little afraid of Major Rana's praise, I just saw the refugees and felt a little unbearable...... I even believe that anyone living in modern times would be unbearable to see this scene, and the reason why some of the Afghan guerrillas can still watch it, and even have the heart to rob these refugees...... It's just because they live in this cruel environment.

When I returned to the base, I convened the cadres for a short meeting...... The discussion was, of course, about the financing of refugees...... We have the money, that is, the more than a million dollars that were stolen from the pirates, but this money is not my alone, this era is about the collective system, everything is decided by everyone, and this time is of course no exception.

Of course, before the meeting, I briefly talked about the situation in the refugee camp, and Saheed and several people were also on hand to help...... A few of them can't stand it, and the people of this era are still quite pure, so few people will be indifferent when they see that scene.

"Fuck it!" Before we could finish speaking, Scar scolded, "Why are these guerrillas like birds? And so do your own people! ”

"That's it!" Company Commander Luo also asked suspiciously: "Why don't they have any organizational discipline at all......

I almost squirted water out of my mouth when I heard this...... Oh, my God. Guerrillas! And some of them are guerrillas developed by drug dealers...... Organizational Discipline ?!!

But then again...... It seems that our army developed from guerrillas. And in the guerrillas there was organization and discipline. So the fighters really can't imagine that this Afghanistan is also a guerrilla army, how can it be a little different!

"Battalion commander!" Liang Lianbing asked, "Then ...... Do you still want to train guerrillas? ”

"One yard to one yard!" I replied angrily: "I'll talk about the guerrillas later!" ”

"I think this is feasible...... "First of all, the purpose of our visit is to help Afghanistan, and Afghan refugees are also part of Afghanistan...... Besides, we have money again...... The money stolen from the pirates was originally ill-gotten gains, and it was only fitting that it was used to aid Afghan refugees! ”

"I agree!" Zhao Jingping said: "We are the people's army, and the people are the foundation of our army...... Although we are no longer in our own country, we are now on the same side as Afghanistan, Pakistan and others. If we jointly oppose helping the Afghan people resist the aggression of the Soviet Union, then we should treat the Afghan people as our own people and the Afghan people as our own people...... Think about it, if it were our people, our fathers and villagers were suffering like this, what should we do? And what will we do?! ”

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

……

"I disagree!" But it was the instructor who spoke.

It's not surprising if this disagreement comes from someone else's mouth, after all, there will always be some different voices, but it comes from the mouth of the instructor...... It just made the fighters a little puzzled.

"Instructor, ......" I looked at the instructor with some surprise.

"I disagree!" The instructor said, "This is ...... It's a great propaganda opportunity for our troops! How can you leave it to the Pakistani government to do it? ”

"What?" I kind of don't understand.

"I mean......" said the instructor, "what should we do ourselves!" Buying food can be bought by Major Lana, cooking, delivering food, etc...... We can do it ourselves. We have 500 soldiers, don't we? Why bother people! And you want to ...... This is more of an opportunity to admonish the Afghan people that we are a disciplined force. It's the troops that came to help the Afghan people, the troops who fought with them...... The masses of the people are the foundation of the army, and this matter is of great significance to us, and we should take it seriously and fight it as a battle! ”

"Hmm!" That's when I realized that the instructor meant "disagree" with that.

"Coax", the soldiers also understood it now, and couldn't help laughing.

But the instructor was right...... What a propaganda opportunity, and this is also a consistent tradition of our army, isn't it? If we do a good job in the work of the masses of the people and have the support of the masses of the people, we will get twice the result with half the effort, no matter what we do and what battles we fight!

So the plan was quickly decided...... It's just that the workload is really not small, according to the statistics of this refugee, but with 100,000 yuan, we have to die to eat a mouthful of food per person, and there are not so many pots and no means of transportation...... But fortunately, there is Pakistan, a super friendly country......

In fact...... This is also of great benefit to Pakistan...... The livelihood of the refugees has always been a headache for the Pakistani government, first of all, Pakistan itself is not rich, and the living problems of these 100,000 refugees have caused a certain amount of pressure on it. Secondly, because of the presence of these refugees...... There is a lot of instability in the vicinity of Peshawar.

This instability is a matter of course...... The refugees are hungry, they are so hungry that they have no other financial resources...... So, of course, they will do some petty theft.

Now we will step in to support these refugees...... Of course, to solve an intractable problem in Pakistan, the Pakistani government naturally fully supports it.

Soon more than a dozen cars arrived at the base for us to use, along with the cooking utensils such as wooden barrels or steamers for steaming rice......

The soldiers unloaded the cooking utensils and got to work...... If you want to talk about the soldiers of our troops, this ability to bury pots and cook is still quite strong...... Soldiers who are accustomed to living a hard life, these are all trivial to us. Less than half an hour before the base, piles of fires were lit, and buckets of rice were cooked.

Of course, this cooking method is the method we Chinese...... The pilaf made in Afghanistan is troublesome, and it needs to be stir-fried or something...... Let's first put the rice in water and boil it almost enough, then put it in a wooden barrel, and then steam it for a while until it is fully cooked, and then a bucket of fragrant white rice will be ready...... The rice made by this method is called "rice soup", and the water left over from rice is delicious rice soup.

The advantage of pilaf is that the dishes are in it, and salt and other condiments are added, so as long as the pilaf is the same, it is fine, and the rice is tasteless...... But I'm sure the refugees won't mind.

The instructor also considered whether to make pilaf according to the taste of the Afghans, but quickly gave up...... Let's not say that we can't do it, this is a refugee camp for 100,000 people, and if we make pilaf, I'm afraid that the 500 of us will not be able to keep busy from morning to night.

When it was finished, the white rice was quickly shipped to the refugees in truckloads...... Of course, Saheed's several Persian interpreters must have followed, and the instructor told them early on how to publicize our troops and how to publicize this Sino-Arab friendship...... Even the instructor had Saheed type a leaflet in Persian......

We took a lot of effort to get this leaflet, because although Sahayd and several people could speak, they couldn't write it clearly...... And the leaflet is directly related to the image of our troops, so I can't be sloppy, so I carefully studied a few translators in Zuihou, and Zuihou also found someone to see if there were any mistakes, and Zuihou asked Major Rana to help print thousands of copies.

We found out later...... It's all in vain, because few of those refugees are literate!

Still, I was deeply impressed by the instructor's approach...... This is a political offensive, don't look at these things as inconspicuous...... And it's a loss-making deal...... All this money is invested in the people, and there is no combat power to see at all, but this kind of investment is intangible, and the returns are often unexpectedly large.

The head of the American advisory group did not understand this......

"Hey! Mr. Yang Xuefeng! Smith came over with a few more soldiers and shouted at me, "I just found out...... Turns out you're all cooks! ”

Speaking of those Yankees, he was very exaggerated hahadaxiao.

"Mr. Smith!" I replied, "There is a saying that zuihou is the real hero when he laughs, so we might as well wait and see...... Look who's laughing zuihou! ”

Listening to this, Smith couldn't help but get up again, spread his hands and said, "We don't seem to have to compare, right...... I haven't seen you train a soldier yet, do you want to defeat us with a spatula? Or is it the defeat of the Soviets? ”

"Why don't we make a bet?"

"No problem! What to bet on? ”

"Just bet...... A dollar! I said.

"Are you worried that you won't be able to pay if you lose?" Smith laughed.

"No!" I said, "I just want to win you, as for what the bet is...... I don't care at all! If you don't mind...... We'll be fine with a $10,000 bet! ”

"Can you afford it?" Smith looked at me with interest.

The guard next to me was angry, turned around and ran back to the base with a suitcase, and then opened it in front of Smith...... Smith was silent. (To be continued......)
