Chapter 216: Behind the Glitz
"It's all said, you're not wrong, no need to apologize. Is my Chinese not standard or do you have a problem with your ears? What should you do, don't pester me! Winnie's blonde hair was scattered, her slender eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her slightly pink eyebrows were shaking helplessly.
"You are the most standard and authentic person in Chinese among all the foreigners I have ever met. My ears were shocked and I was a little deaf, but it didn't affect my life in any way. I'm not pestering, it's not that I'm at fault first. The regimental elders taught me that 'knowing mistakes can improve the great way' and that 'it is not too late to make amends', and that if I put a gun at your head, it is a great mistake and an unforgivable sin. If you don't let me kneel down and apologize, then this matter is not over. Why don't you be invited to a good meal, and you should make amends for your crimes? ”
Sun Zigang is about the same size as Yang Xiaohai, the same burly and majestic. But if you circle around Winnie like a flower butterfly, the picture is a little incongruous. "How many days is a week? Hey, it doesn't matter what number it is, tomorrow, tomorrow. When we settle down, we are in a group, what do you need, just say hello, be on call. ”
"I'm from Shidong, Shidong knows, right? Amazing place, 'since ancient times, there are many heroes', there are countless heroes......" Despite her grandson's chatter, Winnie was still unmoved.
The two are embellished in the back, the middle is a silent and curious baby, and the front is Yang Xiaohai and Huang Congjiang. The team walked through rows of low-rise buildings, through open fields, and through barbed wire.
"That's the way it is. I'm not afraid of your jokes, and maintaining the status quo is the limit of my ability.
"Huang Congjiang has the commonality of professional mercenaries: simple and direct. In just a few minutes, the situation at the Whale Nuclear Power Plant was briefly and clearly described. Even if Yang Xiaohai's stomach growled, he still couldn't stop Huang Congjiang's enthusiastic companionship. Reluctantly, Yang Xiaohai had a clear understanding of the actual situation of the base: behind the huge base and the flashy noodles, there are actually huge hidden dangers.
Although the "Whale Nuclear Power Plant" has a large number of arms and 2,000 personnel, and although it is blessed with various resources, it is a mess that cannot make ends meet and goes bankrupt and out of control at any time.
Huang Congjiang recalled: Choosing this place was also a helpless and hasty decision. When we first arrived, the Whale Nuclear Power Plant was a single-function power station. There is infrastructure, but it is not enough to support so many people. He remembers that the mercenaries first isolated themselves for half an hour before they began to purge the "infected" inside the nuclear power plant.
The commander at that time was very calm, isolated with small barbed wire, and screened out the healthy forces of the formation. If there is a slight hesitation and no military control, there will definitely not be so many surviving mercenaries and civilians. Things were much better after that. Under the condition of isolation and military management, the work of preventing and controlling infection at the base has been carried out thoroughly.
The base has developed for more than a year, from about 700 mercenaries to a complex of about 500 and about 1500 civilians now. In addition to the threat of the virus, Huang Congjiang has to think about food at all times. Everyone at the base has a certain amount of food rations. For every outsider, everyone had to reduce their food rations.
For this reason, Huang Congjiang also deliberately explained: The reason why Yang Xiaohai was not accepted before was because Sun Zigang's team did not bring back supplies. I was going to make a time difference, and wait for the other search teams to come back before continuing to receive, but I didn't think that there was a monster hidden under the car. Food rations are distributed on a per capita basis, with extremely strict and precise scales.
There is a special person who is responsible for the daily calculation and distribution. There was no shortage of munitions, and the commander brought in all the weapons that could be pulled by the headquarters. This is also the fundamental reason for surviving to this day. In addition to a large number of light and heavy weapons, there are also advanced electronic equipment and a small number of fully automatic weapons in the base.
It's just that the sophisticated high-tech weapon has been reduced to sleeping on the floor of the warehouse. Because the professionals who operate them are all infected by the virus and become brainless. With this, there are also a large number of drones.
To put it bluntly, the main source of the base's combat power still relies on the existing 500 professional mercenaries, and more than 1,500 mercenary relatives and civilians constitute a ragtag army. With more than 2,000 mouths, even if you don't do anything, the consumption at the end of the day is quite staggering. Yang Xiaohai recalled the embarrassment of the security building, and he understood the current situation very well.
As they spoke, the team of five walked to the bottom of a small brown three-story building. "The leftmost room on the third floor is my office. Well, to exaggerate, this is the brain of the base. ”
"You're not exaggerating." Yang Xiaohai felt that Huang Congjiang was selling melons in Lao Wang, and unconsciously leaked out his heart.
"Lord...... Xiaohai, you misunderstood me. Huang Congjiang was not stupid at all, and reacted immediately. He returned the salute to the two mercenaries standing guard at the door, and pushed the glass door open. Yang Xiaohai looked at it, and the two mercenaries standing guard were in good spirits, and they did not have long-term malnutrition.
On the glass door, there is a rolled-up, thick iron roller shutter door. All windows are welded with iron bars, and the whole small building looks safe. "The brain of the base, by no means me. The office is here, but I don't come very often. There are many things to do at the base, and many times they need to be dealt with on site. "Oh." Yang Xiaohai replied casually, and his stomach screamed even more.
The red-carpeted corridor makes the rustling of footsteps very light. Huang Congjiang took the lead to go up to the second floor, walked inside, and stood still behind a wooden door. After a few taps, the scene inside the room was soon revealed in a "crunching" sound.
Behind an office seat, a female soldier in a mercenary uniform was "crackling" on a calculator. Although the door was loud, she didn't even look up. "Hello Commander!"
Another girl rang out from behind the door, and she stood up in shock. Yang Xiaohai glanced at the female soldier standing behind the desk, and then saw another female soldier behind the door. The two girls did not wear hats and all had short hair, and they looked very capable. can be compared with Winnie, who is also wearing a mercenary uniform, and the gender is immediately blurred.
"Egret, the commander of the communication company, the woman will not let the eyebrows. The daily ration of everyone in the base is what they are counting. The brain, it refers to them. Let's put it this way, the base is without me, and without them, there will be chaos immediately. The head of the regiment praised falsely. The communication company is counting tomorrow's rations, please instruct. ”
The egret behind the door saluted Huang Congjiang. "This is Yang Xiaohai, it's mine...... Guest. In the future, you will cooperate with him and do everything he commands. ”
"Guaranteed to get the job done." The egret replied crisply. But the thick doubts in his eyes couldn't hide it at all. Huang Congjiang didn't say anything more, and after a brief introduction, he led Yang Xiaohai and the others to reflexively walk upstairs.
On the third floor, an ordinary room. In addition to a set of desk chairs, it is a solid wood bench. Not to mention documents or anything, even water dispensers, cups and so on. "Xiaohai, the conditions are simple. You will be able to stay better than this. ”
"Huang Lao, you're welcome. My blood has affected your judgment, and it is we who say sorry. "Xiaohai, don't say anything superfluous. Time will tell. Egret is the only female officer. Although the appearance is not very feminine, you know, rare things are expensive, so she is very influential among officers and soldiers. Next, we need to meet with the person in charge of the nuclear power plant, the logistics management personnel, and the weapons and equipment management and maintenance personnel...... "Huang Congjiang Xin came in and reported a large number of goals.
Yang Xiaohai couldn't help it, and interrupted: "Old Huang, where are you uncomfortable, hurry up and talk about it." Why does the more you listen to it, the more it looks like Tuogu? I'm not interested in the base, and it's nice to have a nest for us. ”
"Xiaohai, what I just said, you may not have noticed. Now the supreme commander of the base is me, but the original commander-in-chief is someone else. Originally, Manager Zhou, who was in charge of the division of the state company, was infected during the retreat...... Hey, let's not talk about the old things. Xiaohai, my old body and bones have long been overwhelmed. You are in the prime of life, so help me and carry the burden of the base. ”
When Huang Congjiang said this, he paused, turned around and walked out. "You're all hungry, aren't you? I went to coordinate and received today's ration. You are young and can bear it. When my blood sugar is low, my diabetes doesn't wait for anyone. ”
"How do you say this, we have become premeditated and deliberate villains who seize power." Yang Xiaohai waited for Huang Congjiang to leave, and immediately muttered in a low voice.
"Captain Huang has a bad temper and is not outstanding in terms of physical fitness. Why do you all obey him? Don't talk about career, dedication, and the like. Winnie ignored Yang Xiaohai, but blocked her grandson who was following closely in the room.
"Suit? It's obedience, right? If someone asks, I'm sure I'll say a vocation or something. You ask, and I'll babble. First, the head of the regiment is my immediate boss, the old leader. I have always been his soldier. Second, on the day of 'Good Friday', Huang Tuan took the initiative to ask for a break, and then escorted the people here, which made a great contribution.
At that time, all of us thought that the head of the regiment was glorious, so we were crazy to see him again. If it weren't for the regimental commander who resisted the 'intoxicated', we would all be doomed. Therefore, the old people in the base, one counts as one, and they all owe the regiment commander a life. 3. After this, the regulations set by the regiment commander can be regarded as setting the tone.
The specific measures are: 1. Mandatory assignment of work, points will be deducted if it is not completed, and the points will be linked to supply. This puts an end to negative thinking and fishing in troubled waters. 2. Ensure the relationship between mercenaries and civilians: the people raise soldiers, and soldiers protect the people with their lives. 3. You can't do anything that touches the bottom line of morality, and you will be punished if you do it. 4. Civilians must be rescued as a last resort. Because the mercenaries of the state company will never turn their backs on the civilians. "Sun Tzu just said half by memorization, half in the vernacular." Also, you better keep an eye out for egrets. The ratio of men to women in the base is seriously imbalanced, even exceeding 100 to 1. That is to say......"
"Of the 1,500 people, there are less than 20 women." Winnie replied, "That's right, among the 500 or so mercenaries, there are only seven female mercenaries with electronic communication systems. And the seven female mercenaries are all Egrets' subordinates. The rest of the women are either children or minors. Young and unmarried women, each of them is a giant panda. Grandson's eyes lit up and he stared at Winnie without blinking.
