Balikpapan

This new petrochemical city is full of high-rise buildings and bustling cities, but there is always a strange smell in the air, which is unique to chemical plants.

On the outskirts of the city, more than 100 chemical plants, large and small, have been set up, and the sewage discharged from the nearby rivers has dyed the water dark red and exuded a pungent smell, and all the fish in the rivers have died, and nearby residents are afraid to use the water.

If you drink, it's a trivial matter to get into your stomach, and it's not uncommon for you to die.

If you wash your clothes with the water of the river here, then the clothes will be wasted, and you will not need to be corroded and tattered a few times, and wearing them on the body will cause serious skin ulcers and skin diseases, and the consequences are quite serious.

While the city is thriving, the environment has taken a huge price.

Balikpapan and several nearby towns have developed a water supply business, which is to bring clean water from distant lakes and ponds by water trucks for drinking, daily washing, and counting the money according to the bucket, which is also considered a local specialty.

Captain Yu Hongyun was driving his second-hand Volkswagen car to return to the barracks, but he was blocked behind by the water truck on the street, he stretched his neck to look, and saw many residents queuing up with buckets, and there was a group of people in front of him who were lewd together to push and shove, and it seemed that there was a conflict again.

Nine times out of ten, someone wants to cut in line, and the people in front of the queue don't let the disputes that arise because of this, and this kind of thing is happening every day in Balikpapan, and he has already seen it.

So, Captain Yu Hongyun retracted his head, sighed, and said to Lieutenant Zheng Daxi, who was sitting in the co-pilot; "Staff Officer Zheng, it seems that the two of us are unlucky, we have to wait here for a while."

Zheng Daxi is a lieutenant staff officer of the regimental staff, a junior of the Army Whampoa University a year later, his family lives next door to Captain Yu Hongyun, the two are neighbors, and they are officers of the regiment.

Hearing Captain Yu Hongyun say this, Lieutenant Zheng Daxi looked forward indifferently and withdrew his gaze, and replied comfortably sitting in his chair; "This kind of thing happens every day, and when the police come, it will be dredged, and some citizens just don't have rules, and they only know how bad they are when they suffer, so let's just wait."

"That's all there is to it, why don't you have one?" Captain Yu Hongyun took out a pack of cigarettes, shook his hand and took one into his mouth, and then handed the cigarette over.

Lieutenant Zheng Daxi looked at the sign, stretched out his hand and pulled one out, and said with a smile; "Hehehe...... Or you, the landlord, are rich and wealthy, and you smoke high-end big golden dragons, then I have to have one. ”

The two of them lit cigarettes on fire and began to swallow clouds and mist, chatting with each other.

"Brother Yu, I heard that you sent a telegram from home to ask, are you afraid that you will go to the battlefield to fight?"

"Well, the old man at home is worrying nonsense, the war in Europe is 108,000 miles away from us, who do I want to go?"

"That's maybe, this year's recruitment of 40,000 recruits, I wonder if I don't have any idea of going up, I won't make such a big move, how much military salary will hundreds of thousands of recruits eat a year, this is not a small amount of money!"

"Not necessarily, the compulsory soldier is to give some pocket money, if you don't fight for three years, you will retire, according to the annual training equipment maintenance cost of a first-class division of 800,000 gold oceans, the increase in various expenses is almost 100 million gold oceans, in order to maintain the security environment of the empire, this money is still affordable, not to mention that there are several royal guard divisions, and the saint has allocated special funds from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build the troops, and the financial pressure is much smaller."

"It makes sense, the main thing is that the armored battalion is too budget-friendly."

"Oh...... By the way, Staff Officer Zheng, when will the equipment of the armored battalion attached to our division arrive? Is there any message on it? ”

"This has to be equipped according to the establishment of the War Department, because the scale of this expansion is relatively large, only 18 field division A divisions are equipped with armored tank battalions, and B infantry divisions are only equipped with artillery battalions to strengthen firepower. A few days ago, I heard the regiment commander say that because of the restrictions on the production plans of military industrial enterprises, it will be the turn of our division to at least get the end of the year, and all 18 first-class divisions will be matched, so it will be the end of next year. ”

"Didn't you say that a batch of tanks and armored vehicles ordered by Germany and Austria-Hungary was intercepted, so why didn't they give us priority?"

"Brother Yu, that batch of equipment has been given priority to the Royal Praetorian Guard Division, I heard that several armored divisions are now equipped with powerful T-5 heavy tanks, which is really called "Iron Armor Heavy Fist", these little things we are equipped with are very good! ”

"In this way, you are still well-informed at the regiment headquarters, and our company has a black eye, and you know how to train recruits all day long, and you are busy and don't know if there is a battle to fight?"

"Hey, Brother Yu, isn't the old man at home worried that you will go to the battlefield?"

"The old man doesn't know the situation, where did the soldiers get their merits if they didn't fight? Where does the glory come from? It's safe to hide in the rear, but you have nothing for the rest of your life, you can only watch others seal their wives and sons, be promoted to the rank of knight, and spend their lives in mediocrity, how can you be willing! ”

"That's what I said, one of my classmates was assigned to the Fourth Armored Division after graduation, he was fortunate to participate in the Wool War, and after the war, 65 acres of meritorious fields were recorded in the military merit book, as long as he was demobilized and left the army, he could happily become a small farmer, and there were many such cases."

"So, soldiers still have to have a battle to be happy."

"Brother Yu is right, so now I'm worried that I will be late to join the army, and those battles will be fought by the seniors in the army, so it will be terrible."

"Hehe, probably not, right?"

The two chatted for a while, and after a while, they saw a commotion in front of them, and two patrolmen wearing big pants rushed over and were clearing the road.

Look at it like this, and it won't be long before you can pass.

Borneo is located in the tropics, and the temperature is above 15 degrees all year round, so the standard equipment of the police is a police uniform with short sleeves and large pants, and a cowhide belt with a police gun, a police whistle, and a baton, which is very characteristic of the tropics.

Sure enough

Under the maintenance of order by the police, the road ahead was soon cleared, and the blocked vehicles slowly moved forward, and Captain Yu Hongyun drove to follow forward, and soon came to the place where the crowd had gathered.

Behind the buttocks of the tank waterwheel, there are three men and two women squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, lined up in a row, it is estimated that they are the people who had the dispute, and the red marks knocked off by the baton can be seen on the arms.

Captain Yu Hongyun smiled knowingly when he saw this situation, and he knew almost everything about the things below.

Anyone who quarrels will be reprimanded, and squatting there with his head in his hands for an afternoon is a normal punishment, which means basking in the sun for an afternoon, which is not a good taste!

As for the punishment of cutting into the queue and starting a dispute, it will be heavier, with a fine of 10 gold oceans to start, up to 50 gold oceans, and you also have to squat there with your head in your hands for an afternoon, which is a punishment for a long memory.

If you dare to do it, it will be bad, and you will definitely be taken back to the police station to be dealt with seriously, with a few days of detention or a penalty.

If the injury is serious, it is a violation of the criminal law, which is a crime of disturbing public order, which is a kind of criminal offense, and in addition to civil compensation, it must also bear criminal responsibility, and the sentence will be pronounced through summary procedures in the court, depending on the severity of the circumstances, or detained and thrown into a hard labor camp.

So before making trouble, you have to think about whether you can bear the consequences?

The 4th Division in Kalimantan was stationed more than 10 kilometers away from the outskirts of the city, and Captain Yu Hongyun drove his car past the gate post to check his documents and smoothly entered the barracks.

At this moment, on the large playground of the barracks, the queue training with the squad and platoon as the unit is in full swing, and the commands of the instructors who lead the team are coming and going, training the recruits in basic queue subjects.

Captain Yu Hongyun parked his car in the small square in front of the regiment headquarters building, where dozens of cars were already parked, all of which were private cars of officers at all levels in the regiment.

As soon as the car stopped, Captain Yu Hongyun was about to return to the company, when he was grabbed by Lieutenant Zheng Daxi, stretched out his hand to the left front and pointed to the front left; "Brother Yu, look at a few cars parked over there, maybe the division commander came down to inspect."

Looking in the direction he was pointing, Captain Yu Hongyun's expression became serious.

In the shade of the bushes

There are 5 black crown cars parked in a row, and you can see that it is the latest model when you look at the streamlined and graceful body, an eight-cylinder high-horsepower gadget, and the top speed can reach 15 kilometers per hour, which is really a speed.

This thing is expensive, and you must have a noble title to be eligible for it, and it must be a high-ranking officer above the regiment.

There is no doubt that not everyone has a noble title, but those who have a noble title must be a senior officer above the regimental level.

The commander of the 4th Division in Kalimantan was Major General Duan Shixun, who had participated in the Wool War, a resolute and resolute professional soldier, who was awarded the title of viscount after the war for his outstanding military exploits, and was transferred to the commander of the 4th Division as a major general half a year ago.

In terms of age, the division commander was only 14 years older than Captain Yu Hongyun, and he was a very promising young general, and it was said that he was very favored by the generalissimo of the Imperial Army, and his future career was bright.

After Major General Duan Shixun took office, he paid close attention to military training, and the **** of the officers and soldiers below was really bitter, but no one dared to raise the slightest objection.

These generals who came down from the battlefield all had a strong murderous aura on their bodies, and their majesty was extremely heavy, which made people's hearts tremble when they looked at them.

Just when the two of them hesitated, they saw several officers of the regiment walking briskly towards the regiment headquarters building not far away, and stepped forward to stop and ask, sure enough, it was division commander Wu Shixun who had brought several high-ranking officers from the division headquarters down to inspect the results of the training, and they were to conduct spot checks.

Captain Yu Hongyun and Lieutenant Zheng Daxi hurriedly checked their military uniforms and appearances with serious expressions, and even took out handkerchiefs to polish their leather shoes, and then walked towards the regiment headquarters building together.

The two walked in unison, and actually walked out of the queue of the whole platoon of soldiers.

is about to face a strict division commander, and none of them dare to slack off, for fear that they will be reprimanded if something goes wrong.

Now the armored battalion personnel of the 4th Division are being prepared, which is a good errand that the officers are eager to go to, and at this juncture, we must not leave a bad impression on the division commander! (To be continued)
