Volume I, Section 214, Supplies
Su Hao on the screen nodded: "I will follow your arrangement." β
Without waiting for Zhang Shengfei to speak, Su Hao added: "Although there is a gap between us, and I don't feel very pleasant, I still want to persuade General ββββ to stop the Hefei campaign plan, it will only bring disaster, and there is no possibility of winning at all." β
The words were a little cold, and there was no respect from the subordinates to the superiors.
Zhang Shengfei ignored it. He narrowed his eyes in silence, and the doubts in his mind had been reduced a lot because of Su Hao's words.
He felt that Su Hao was honest at least in his views on this matter. A person who dares to stick to his beliefs usually does not play any tricks, let alone stab him in the back.
The coldness and hostility on Zhang Shengfei's face gradually subsided. He said calmly: "I will now order the station to be lifted." Rest assured, this is only a preparatory measure, not against the Eleventh Independent Army. Now, return to camp with your troops."
Su Hao understood the implicit meaning of his words, and did not refute, but just added: "Then, the supplies for the next few days will be entrusted to you, General." β
Communications were soon shut down.
Looking at the dark screen, the expression on Zhang Shengfei's face was still solemn.
He ordered the adjutant to connect to the headquarters of the army group and speak directly with the commander himself.
The information fed back is indeed correctββββ there is indeed a problem with the food supply of the group army, the fact that the warehouse was flooded is true, and the time for submitting the transportation request to the General Military Transport Bureau is completely in line with the timetable provided by the Military Transport Bureau. Because it involves the allocation of military supplies, the group army even submitted a report to the army logistics headquarters to explain it, and the relevant records can be found in the computer of the military justice department.
Everything was in accordance with the procedure, and these things happened before Zhang Shengfei wanted to transfer the Eleventh Army.
If it happens later, there must be some kind of connection between them.
But even Zhang Shengfei himself said before: No one can see through the future, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow.
At dawn, Zhang Shengfei and the rest of the staff officers took a helicopter and headed for the Hefei defense area.
It is impossible to completely dispel suspicions.
But what's the use of doubt?
There is no evidence that Su Hao is directly related to these things. Even if it turns out that he did it, it is only a modification of the running time of a military train. Zhang Shengfei couldn't sleep from lying in bed all night, he wanted to sort out the clues and find the truth, but he made himself more and more confused and irritable.
Until he got on the plane, his eyes were still red and swollen, with thick dark circles.
Zhang Wen leaned over from the side and asked with concern, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Didn't sleep well last night? β
Zhang Shengfei shook his head slowly: "How is Ji Lu preparing?" Is there anything missing? β
He tried to make his tone appear light, focusing on the plan that was about to unfold.
Everything was already in placeββββ three main junctions were set up with dense and deep defensive lines, armored units and soldiers had already entered their positions, there were no problems with weapons and ammunition. The Air Force dispatched a squadron of reconnaissance planes to be responsible for processing battlefield information, and the army aviation brigade of the group army was all dispatched to form a firepower network from the air to blockade it.
"The plans reported by the divisions participating in the battle are very cautious, and the battle orders have been issued to the squad level units. The preparations for the related projects were all over the day before yesterday, and the monsters in the city had nowhere to escape, and once they threw pheromones, they would rush out desperately to their uncle, and the whole battle would be easy and without any pressure. β
Zhang Wen smiled very proudly, he bared his teeth and his expression was flamboyant, without the humility that a young man should have
As one of the formulators of the plan, Zhang Wen's psychology of wanting to implement the Hefei Campaign was even more urgent than Zhang Shengfei's.
From major to brigadier general, there is an insurmountable class gap. The most convenient way is to accumulate merit through war.
Su Hao's almost frantic stopping behavior only made Zhang Shengfei feel angry at most. After all, he is a lieutenant general, the commander of the army group, and he must control his emotions and attitudes.
Zhang Wen doesn't have to worry so much. In addition to his anger towards Su Hao, he was also naked jealous.
yes, that guy looks younger than me and has already gotten the high rank of colonel. If there are a few more battles like that in Lujiang City, he will definitely be able to become a general.
A considerable part of the opposition letters sent by Su Hao to the major departments of the military department were withheld by Zhang Wen's allies.
The officers who came out of the military academy all had classmates.
Because of his uncle Zhang Shengfei's relationship, Zhang Wen also has many friends in other departments.
During that time, Zhang Wen corresponded frequently with these people every day, asking them to withhold or suppress the document. Of course, it is impossible to refuse to report. At most, the objections were arranged behind other documents in accordance with the normal procedure, and pressed until the Hefei campaign was in full swing, and then it was reported.
Once the campaign plan is implemented, it no longer matters whether it is opposed or not.
This is a bad habit of officialdom left over from peacetime. It is usually okay for acquaintances and friends to help each other, as long as they do not exceed the boundaries and in accordance with the regulations.
After all, they are not Su Hao, and they do not have the painful and bloody lessons of the future world
Zhang Shengfei slowly bowed his head, and his expression slowly became relieved.
Everything is ready. All that remains is to wait for the moment when the order to start the campaign is issued.
In Zhang Shengfei's heart, there was already some faint expectation.
As for Su Hao's question...... The traffic situation is not very good now, and although a large number of abandoned vehicles have been removed since the outbreak of the virus, car wreckage can still be seen on the highway from time to time. It will take at least two days to get from the new Nanyang base. The Eleventh Separate Forces were destined to do nothing, and they were even less likely to shoot at their own people.
That's more than 20,000 fighters, and a large number of accompanying weapons and equipment, which can only be taken by land.
It's a foregone conclusion, so let him go whatever tricks he wants
The focus now is to ensure the success of the Hefei campaign.
Dozens of military trucks slowly drove into the No. 59 logistics warehouse in the military control area of the new Nanyang base city.
Zhang Nan also jumped out of the car, shook off the dust on his body, strode to the officer on duty, took out a material transfer slip from his purse, and handed it over.
This is a special supply order issued for Su Hao before Zhang Shengfei left.
Since it is necessary to stay and wait for the train, the day-to-day needs of the Eleventh Independent Force must be taken care of by the base side.
For Su Hao, Zhang Shengfei has always had a very complicated emotion. It's not disgust, it's not liking, it's both admiration for young people and anger at those who don't obey the rules. When all this is under the premise of official business, whether it is out of the care of Xu Renjie's face or the jealousy of Wang Qinian of the Academy of Sciences, he must show enough friendliness.
The special supply order stipulates that the 11th Independent Force can receive "Class A" supplies during its stay in the new Nanyang base city.
The officer on duty casually glanced at the page, then waved his hand to the soldiers behind him to let him go.
He had already read this order yesterday, and there would be no falsehood. Now, it's just the second test.
"Your treatment is really good, you can get such a high-level food supply."
The envy of the officers on duty was not without reason.
According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of War, the "Class A" supply means that the daily food calories are higher than the normal value. This standard of supply is usually for special forces. However, in addition to the border guards and wartime, there is another unofficial "understanding" of this law. It is no longer a simple increase in food calories, but a fuss about food types, grades, advantages and disadvantages.
Taking a certain garrison unit in peacetime as an example, the daily supply standard is generally "Class C". If this level is raised to "Class A," in addition to the proportion of meat in the meals of officers and men has been greatly increased, poultry and eggs will also occupy a considerable proportion in it, especially in certain special dishes, such as fungus, aquatic products, animal offal, and fruits, which will appear on the daily food supply form of the troops. Even in peacetime, the price of these things is not cheap. Now, even the direct family members of the Hao Consortium are already difficult to eat.
The 11th Independent Army suffered heavy losses in the battle of Lujiang, and out of the dual psychology of compensation and reward, Zhang Shengfei issued a supply order to Su Hao for all "Class A" during the rest and recuperation period. Because of the contradiction of different opinions on the plan of the Hefei campaign, the 11th Independent Army was forcibly driven out of the defense area. As a reassurance, Su Hao got some more "Class A" supply orders. In addition to the part that must be consumed, the amount of receivable supplies he currently has in his hand is more than two weeks, which can be used by 30,000 people.
The officer on duty guarding the treasury did not embarrass Zhang Nanyi and directly released the convoy.
Trucks pass by the door of the cold warehouse. Through the car window, Zhang Nan also glanced at the large piece of pork that was slowly moving along the transportation line towards the warehouse, suppressed the urge to jump out of the car and move a few pieces up, and ordered the driver next to him: "Old rule, go to warehouse No. 109." β
It was a large warehouse covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, stacked with all kinds of canned food
It is still necessary to verify the identity and review the supply form. After making sure there was no problem, the heavily armed warehouse guards got out of the way and let them go.
Among the relevant documents of the military logistics department, there is a very special supplementary regulation, called "exchange"
Due to the different regions where the troops are located, there will be different degrees of loss and price differences in material transportation and local procurement. In order to cover the shortfall, Logistics Headquarters allows units to exchange resources at lower levels on the basis of actual supply levels. For example, because a certain unit cannot buy live fish and fresh meat locally, it can only use canned food instead, then the insufficient share can be exchanged for items such as fruits, high-calorie special candies, and milk powder that are easy to transport.
According to Su Hao's order, all "Class A" supplies were exchanged for "Class D".
He needs food in sufficient quantities and does not think about taste and nutrition. According to the exchange ratio between the two different levels, the "Class A" supply order that Su Hao now holds can meet the normal consumption of 100,000 people for at least two weeks.
Rice, flour, canned food, compressed cakes, dehydrated vegetables...... The Eleventh Separate Force only needs these for the time being. As long as the number is sufficient, the implementation of the following follow-up actions can be guaranteed.
Even before the outbreak of the virus, all base cities had already begun to build food warehouses on a large scale. At that time, a large amount of material was used for storage, either internationally or domestically. After the artificial farm set up underground is put into use, a large amount of concentrated nutrient solution is used as the cultivation basis, and the rice and wheat can even be harvested once in two months by using multi-level pot planting, combined with artificial temperature control, artificial sunlight and other technical means.
Due to the short growth period, although the filling rate is ensured by artificial growth promotion methods, it is not a product of the natural environment after all. Long-term consumption of these fast-growing crops will definitely have unpredictable effects on the human body. But even in the future world, human technology still can't solve this problem, and can only try to ensure the growth period of crops if the environment allows.
The trucks drove into the warehouse, the rear of the compartment was opened, and the soldiers began to carry the items they needed according to the items listed on the supply list.
They were careful in their movements, attentive in their expressions, and polite enough to the soldiers guarding the warehouse. Every time a stack of shelves is emptied, they immediately sweep the floor of the remaining packing tape and ropes, gather the planks and foam and the like, and receive the clutter pile by the wall to keep the warehouse tidy at all times.
Zhang Nan also took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it out to the officer on duty who was standing opposite to supervise the porterage.
"Your people know the rules, and I like to deal with people like you."
The officer on duty was a tall lieutenant. He spewed smoke and looked at the soldiers busy back and forth in the warehouse, a satisfied smile on his stereotyped face.
"In the warehouse, you have to deal with all kinds of people. There are always some guys who don't know the so-called and think they are uncles, and they come in with a supply sheet and ask for this and that. Take canned food as an example, it's all the same packaging, and the contents are no different. But there are always some bastards who have to keep an eye on issues like the production date. Nowadays, the consumption rate of materials is very fast, and the warehouse storage is generally not more than half a year. Many things are just produced in the underground workshop and shipped directly into the warehouse, and the difference in the date is a matter of months before and after. Those guys always like to eat fresh, and they have to find new ones on the shelves that have just left the factory. I really don't know why they have such strange ideas? In fact, food is food, in order not to waste, the workshop is made by grinding all the internal organs, bones, and skins, adding spices and various spices. Now the production process is fully automated, and a pig enters from the entrance of the assembly line and comes out into a well-packaged can. Perhaps, those pigs had just finished sexual intercourse, and the pigs were still stained with semen on their whips, covered with spices and fat, and no one could see it. Anyway, it's the same until you eat it, a few days earlier and a few days later, you use your stomach to strangle thousands of sperm, haββββhaha
These words were obviously ridiculing, but Zhang Nan didn't quite agree with the heavy taste of the officer on duty. Especially since he had just eaten lunch half an hour ago, which included a few pieces of luncheon meat steamed with rice...... Zhang Nanyi now only feels that his stomach is churning, mixed with the smell of stinking pigs, as if there are hundreds of thousands of small white tadpoles in the shape of pigs' heads jumping wildly in his body, shouting crazy cries such as "We are looking for the other half".
Turning sideways, bowing his head, and vaguely spitting out a mouthful of sour saliva, Zhang Nan also forcibly suppressed the desire to vomit, turned around, and smiled in a smile.
"Actually, it's nice to have something to eat. Civilians outside the city dreamed of this. Especially those women, who love canned food and things like that. Well, in the bar on 39th Street, there are a few nice new girls. β
"Oh?"
Zhang Nanyi's words immediately aroused the interest of the officer on duty: "Which bar?" β
"Widows' camps."
Zhang Nan also said the name of the bar with a smile: "This name is really good, just listening to it makes people feel very energetic." I went there last night, the price is not expensive, those women are not only beautiful, but also very good at skills
The officer on duty nodded again and again and smiled approvingly.
Yes, in the topic of men, women's "skills" always have a unique charm. You can only understand it, not say it.
From warehouse management to canning, from venting dissatisfaction to women, Zhang Nan also skillfully guided the officers on duty to constantly change topics. In the distance, the soldiers gathered around the truck were still unhurried to carry the goods, and their movements were orderly, but the speed slowed down significantly because of this. However, the warehouse guards were not the least dissatisfied, but were friendly to these soldiers who "knew the rules" to receive supplies, and even bluntly said: "If everyone is as careful as you, our work will be much easier." β
With a good atmosphere, there will be a lot less estrangement when talking to each other.
"Listening to your accent, it seems to be from Henan?"
"I have a friend who is also in your UU7 Infantry Division, and I heard that he was just promoted to captain last year."
"Oh, you can drink two catties at a time? I can't tell you're drinking a lot. However, it is not enough to just pay lip service. Hehe, why don't you find a chance and let's have a drink? β
A soldier is not a robot, and one can find a lot of common topics in one and two places. Chatting casually, the work at hand slowed down a little, but the guards didn't notice the hidden problem in the slightest. They just felt that the people of the 11th Independent Force were very kind and worthy of being friends.
The topic gradually deviated from the direction in the eager speech.
"I've heard that super-powered laser cannons have been developed, is it true? Anyway, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't believe it. β
"When I passed by the warehouse in front of me just now, I saw that there were still a lot of armored vehicles parked inside, which were still brand new. Isn't the battle on the other side of the line about to begin? Why not use these vehicles? It's good to kill a few monsters
"The 30mm man-armed cannon is indeed very powerful, but in the end the number is too small, if there are more, our record in front will be much better."
