"Damn, haven't the tank parts been delivered yet?"

"Don't worry, Comrade Major! You know, this is not a kvasdaleba, it's a tank spare parts that need to be shipped from the factory, and I can't make it by asking an aunt to knead the dough!"

"But we can't go without the filter!"

"You can't take a tank, so why not an armored car?"

Looking at the fat, smiling and harmless quartermaster in front of him, the Soviet armored corps major standing in front of him couldn't help but clench his fists.

He had also heard of certain quartermasters in his original army who would enrich their own pockets and resell supplies, but he did not expect to meet such a guy in Afghanistan.

The shortage of tank parts for his own troops has been waiting for more than a month, but they have not been delivered, and the question is that the capacity is tight, and the plane is not enough to wait for the next time, but the Buryat fat man in front of him just beat cigarettes and vodka into a dozen and transported them to the warehouse, so the capacity of the transport plane is doing this?

The major wanted to give the other party a punch, even if the other party's rank was higher than his own, but after thinking about the two tanks in his unit that had been lying in the nest for two long years, he finally decided to endure it.

"Lieutenant Colonel, those parts, please give me a rush!"

"Definitely, definitely, don't worry, I'll contact the rear later!"

The lieutenant colonel smiled and watched the armored major leave, then shook his head.

"I'm still young!"

As the only combat unit that has to hold out in Afghanistan for a long time, how could the 40 Army not have enough supplies, in fact, the parts needed by the major are in the warehouse, not to mention a tank regiment, a tank army is more than enough.

If it was in the past, then this lieutenant colonel quartermaster would definitely not dare to have any restraints, because that would end up miserable, it would be good to go to Siberia to dig potatoes alive, and it is likely to go to a bitter cold place to squat in prison, and it is not impossible to even be shot.

But it was before, and it is now, Moscow is so disappointed with the situation in Afghanistan that it is even considering dismantling the 40th Army.

There was also a lot of turmoil within the 40th Army, and the big soldiers on the front line didn't know anything, but their quartermasters, who often traveled back and forth between the two places because of their work, knew it very well.

And the funds and materials allocated by the central government to the 40 Army are also decreasing, so this Buryat quartermaster has more ideas of his own.

It is estimated that they will not stay long in a place like Afghanistan, but after five or six years of hard work in this kind of place, not only will they have no meritorious service at all, but it is unlikely that they will have a good death even after returning home, so the quartermaster will have to find a way to make his life a little more comfortable.

And his status as a quartermaster is to a large extent convenient for him to do some other things, of course, he doesn't dare to do such a thing as reselling military supplies, but other things.

For example, when a soldier or other personnel needs to receive supplies, he can find an excuse to refuse the other party, or replace the new materials with the old ones, so that he can ask the other party for benefits, if the other party gives benefits, then not only can he receive the materials first, but also ensure the supply of materials at any time, but if he runs with his mouth open to ask for something, then I'm sorry, the materials are in short supply, and wait!

Relying on this trick, the quartermaster reaped a lot of benefits in a very short time, including Afghan handicrafts collected by the soldiers, or supplies such as tobacco and alcohol.

After these things are in hand, the quartermaster will carry out a second operation, he relies on tobacco and alcohol to get through the top and bottom, and then, even established a set of smuggling processes.

Transports to Afghanistan will provide the quartermaster with a few extra goods, including cigarettes, alcohol, extra snacks, etc., which are indispensable for the soldiers, in addition to all kinds of spiritual comfort, including music tapes, posters, even playboy magazines, and even family planning supplies, after all, those who can afford to find opportunities to play poker anytime and anywhere.

In addition to sending things to Afghanistan, the quartermaster also set up a high-level line in Moscow, and there are also many special products, handicrafts, and cultural relics in Afghanistan

, and the most distinctive should be the handmade shotgun made by the Pashtuns of Afghanistan.

Because of its geographical location, Afghanistan has been at war for many years, and various ethnic groups have been in constant friction, and it is precisely for this reason that Afghans have a large number of handicraft workshops and gun-making immortals.

In the past, the shotguns they carefully built were not only weapons, but also some high-quality materials and exquisite handicraft products were regarded as handicrafts, and many beautifully made Afghan shotguns were sent to British nobles during the British colonial Afghanistan period.

And after the Soviets came, the Afghans did not lose their craft, and even carried it forward, not only rubbing muskets, but even handmade AKs, Pakistan's Peshawar is a world-class arms workshop, as long as you want, there is nothing that these Pashtun craftsmen can't do.

Driven by extravagance, high-ranking Soviet officials also had a demand for collecting Afghan hunting rifles, especially those who liked to hunt.

On the one hand, the quartermaster sent the Afghan's things to the Soviet Union to make high profits, and then sent a large number of consumer goods to Afghanistan to sell.

Of course, the quartermaster is also very discerning, he will not offend those who don't look good to mess with, and he will not offend those who have a backstage, because everyone will not have good juice to eat in that way.

The people he made difficult for him were ordinary people with no background like the previous armored corps major, the other party had no power or power, and there would be no response to the report, so he could only swallow his anger, or obediently send the benefits, and then get what he wanted.

And those ordinary people who have been troubled will understand the rules of the quartermaster after being reminded by someone to understand the rules of the quartermaster, and then obediently cooperate.

The same was true of the armored major, who, the very next day, arrived at the quartermaster's office with a beautiful gold pocket watch in the Middle Eastern style.

After asking the quartermaster for his mistaken knowledge of the value of the gold watch, the armored officer got the answer he wanted.

"Ah, dear Comrade Major, your accessories were delivered overnight last night, and now you can take my slip and get it!"
