Chapter 123 Installation of a civilian program-controlled telephone
Zhong Bai had to step forward under Guan Linjian's arrangement to shake hands with everyone one by one, and by the way, he also glanced at the soldiers in front of him, the skin on each of their faces was tanned, and some could even see peeling skin from their necklines.
Looking at the simple outpost playground again, except for one barracks in the courtyard, there are only two basketball hoops left in the playground, after all, playing basketball is one of the few hobbies of the soldiers.
"Everyone, take it easy, I'm not a leader, I just want to come to the front line post to visit you, hoping to do something for you." After the initial meeting, Zhong Bai took the initiative to speak: "Next, without affecting your daily tasks, I will go around with Colonel Guan more to understand the situation." ”
It was quite surprising that this kind of approachable words came out of the mouth of a young man, and the squad leader Qin Wu looked at Guan Linjian in disbelief, after all, he thought that the other party was going to see some kind of live-fire training.
"Well, just according to what Zhong Gong said." Guan Linjian beckoned to Qin Wuyi: "Squad Leader Qin, come here." ”
Qin Wu immediately trotted over: "Yes!" ”
"Then you can go around with us, the queue will be disbanded, and everyone will return to their respective posts." Guan Linjian said naturally.
As a result, the outpost returned to its daily tranquility, with only Qin Wu following Guan Linjian and Zhong Bai, answering various questions while accompanying them around the barracks and playground.
“…… Food? If you want to say that the food is not bad at our outpost! Don't look at the distance of the 251 outpost, but the division headquarters really attaches importance to us, and fresh meat and vegetables are guaranteed! ”
“…… Weapons? On the one hand, the logistics support is good, on the other hand, our soldiers also cherish weapons, maintain them according to the regulations, and never be lazy! ”
“…… Recreational activities? Zhong Gong, this is a border outpost, not those camps in the rear, thank God if you have time to play a basketball game, where are there any other recreational activities? The big deal is the annual performance condolences! ”
Squad leader Qin Wu answered fluently, but Zhong Bai was a little surprised to hear the answer.
The other party didn't feel that such conditions were bad at all, but revealed a sense of pride and pride everywhere!
Zhong Bai had to start reflecting, maybe because of the difference in age, why are they so willing to work hard and ordinary?
He also wanted to see more.
So at Zhong Bai's strong request, Qin Wu took someone to accompany Zhong Bai to really patrol the border.
Although it has been two years since the last battle with real guns and ammunition on this section of the border, and it has long been calm now, Qin Wu did not dare to slack off, and still let Zhong Bai put on body armor and put on a helmet before he really set off.
On the border, where there are no boundary pillars at all, the endless subtropical forest is shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see whether the enemy is hiding beneath the trees in the distance.
Qin Wu pointed to a big tree with a crooked neck not far away, and said proudly: "Zhong Gong, look at that big tree. In the last battle, we had a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy there, and it took a day and a night to seize that territory, and we did not let the enemy enter our country! ”
"Awesome!"
Zhong Bai nodded heartily and praised, and was about to take a step closer to get closer, but was stopped by Qin Wu.
"There is no traffic ahead!"
"Why?"
"Thirty meters further forward is a minefield, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up." Qin Wu explained.
Only then did Zhong Bai put away his admiration, just looked at the big tree quietly, and consciously praised the great PLA soldier in his heart.
It took two hours to turn down from the border line, and Zhong Bai's understanding of the 251 post was one step deeper.
Their selfless dedication was something Zhong Bai thought of, but they didn't complain about the existing conditions, which Zhong Bai didn't expect.
So much so that when Zhong Bai took the initiative to ask the squad leader Qin Wu when he was eating in the cafeteria, when they still needed anything, the other party just smiled innocently, and then shook his head and said, "The organization and superiors are good enough for us!" ”
Even the matter of individual soldier rations that Zhong Bai was entangled in his previous life, Zhong Bai did not take it out at this moment.
Because the soldiers have said that the days when they can eat pork stewed vermicelli and fried fatty meat with cabbage almost every week are much better than in their hometown, what is there to dissatisfaction with?
If you want to say that it may need to be improved, it is natural that the road conditions leading to the 251 outpost from Baya City, this situation Zhong Bai has naturally been very clear in his heart since he came today, it is not something that can be done in a day or two, and this kind of thing is indispensable to build roads, no matter what era it is, and it is not a small amount of money.
If Zhong Bai becomes an entrepreneur and billionaire, it is estimated that he can still do it, but with his current strength, he can't do it at all.
Just when Zhong Bai was thinking about whether to settle for the next best thing and find a way to remit a thousand yuan to improve the conditions of the 251 outpost after earning the first pot of gold, the words of a little soldier caught his attention.
"Actually, we don't think there is anything on this road, it's just a little more bumpy and a little longer. However, the comrades in the post office who sent us letters were a little unbearable, they only ran once a month, and everyone was looking forward to waiting for the letter from home at the end of the month! ”
Qin Wu immediately glared at this little soldier who had just enlisted this year, and scolded: "Xiaohu, what are you complaining about? It's good that comrades in the post office can deliver letters on time, but we are in a remote area, and once a month is in line with the regulations! What do you mean by 'only one run'? Is that what you should say? ”
"Squad leader, I was wrong." Xiao Hu was yelled at by Qin Wu like this, and immediately realized his mistake, immediately put down his chopsticks and got up, standing up straight.
"Squad Leader Qin don't go online, I don't think there's anything wrong with Xiaohu's words." Zhong Bai suddenly had an idea in his mind, and said with a smile: "Indeed, it is not easy for everyone to defend the country here, and it is normal to be homesick and hopeful, but I think I can do something for everyone in this regard." ”
"What?" When Guan Linjian heard this, he couldn't help but put down his chopsticks.
Hearing Zhong Bai say this, Qin Wu and the soldiers also turned their eyes to it.
"Find a way to install a civilian program-controlled telephone at the outpost as soon as possible." Zhong Bai said seriously: "In this way, if you want to contact your relatives in your hometown in the future, you don't have to wait for the letter to be delivered at the post office once a month." As long as you have a phone, you can contact you at any time. ”
"Huh?! Program-controlled telephones for civilian use? Bell...... Zhong Gong, are you serious?! That's right?! Hearing this, Qin Wu took the lead in standing up excitedly and asked a little incoherently.
Compared to Qin Wu's reaction, except for Guan Linjian, who was also surprised, the other soldiers were a little confused and looked at each other.
Most of the young men who came here to serve as soldiers were originally from remote backgrounds, and they hadn't even come into contact with civilian telephones, and they didn't know what Zhong Bai was talking about.
But Qin Wu and Guan Linjian glanced at each other, and the surprise in each other's eyes couldn't be hidden!
