Volume 1: Jade Festival Chapter 61 Pick-up at the dock
Back in the third row of barracks, Shi Liang was also a little dazed. Before entering the tent, he also went to look at the moment when the drip in the camp was over, and it showed that it was already past the ugly time, and it would be lit in less than an hour. He knew that Instructor Lu, who had just fallen asleep, was destined not to participate in this unimportant morning meeting, but after all, he was a new official waiting for office, and he still didn't dare to relax. The man simply didn't rest, washed his face with cold water, sat at the head of the bed and took out the dot matrix token that Lu Xingshou gave him, and took a look at the specific content.
This is a security order from Yiguang Mansion, which asks Yujieyi to arrange for a team of mecha warriors to escort a mysterious guest from the military along the way. Judging from the general route information on the metal sign, this guest is going all the way along the Daqin River, from Yiguang Mansion to Danruo Town, on the border of Jufu. On the way, I just passed through Yujie Town and stopped for a while. If this is the case, then Shi Liang only needs to take someone to do the peripheral support, which is not a difficult thing.
Shi Liang made a preliminary plan for protection in his heart, and the time was about to come. The man hurriedly got up and changed into a set of black clothes for morning training.
Before the point began, the personnel appointment and dismissal notice printed with the official seal of Huang Yanshi's Yujie camp had already been posted on the bulletin board of the martial arts arena. This includes not only the position adjustment of Shi Liang and Du Yujia, but also the transfer of Geng San's subordinates. Obviously, this stamped notice was confirmed by Lu Pei in advance, and Shi Liang's final request was actually guessed by Lu Xingshou. You must know that when Shi Liang left the middle tent that night, Wuqisan, who couldn't stand staying up late, had already fallen asleep, and it was impossible to get up again to ask the regular service on duty to rush to post such a document.
Lu Pei, as Shi Liang expected, did not participate in the point. The meeting with everyone was Du Yujia, the new leader of the regular uniform who rushed back to the camp overnight, and he was also a little high-spirited when he was just appointed as the second person in the camp, after all, Lu Pei has been holding this position for more than a year, and being able to be appointed again shows Lu Yicheng's trust in him.
As for the newly appointed leader Shi Liang, the soldiers who just came to the Jade Festival may not know much about it, but the veterans of the Jade Festival Station are already strange. After all, Shi Liang is Lu Xingshou's most proud disciple, and he is favored by the high-ranking officials of Ziyan Division. If in the previous peaceful years, such a jump may be strange, but after all, Yujie Town has just experienced a key disaster, and it is the time to employ people, so it is naturally reasonable.
Now there are almost 100 people in the camp, but the fierce armor soldiers still account for less than half, with the newly appointed Du Platoon leader, the first thing is to arrange a regular uniform and a red armor for each platoon, in his words, the main thing is to help deal with some daily chores in the camps of each platoon, in fact, it is to share some of the junior miscellaneous soldiers who have been slightly redundant.
Because these soldiers have lowered the threshold for recruitment and selection, they are a little uneven. After these long days of screening, the good and bad seedlings are naturally already divided. The potential soldiers who can be cultivated among these people still have to stay in Du Pai's hands for training, and those handymen who are obviously limited in talent can only be temporarily arranged in various camps to be responsible for daily cleaning, standing guard, running errands and other affairs, and then planning for follow-up arrangements.
After the slightly busy morning meeting, Shi Liang led a group of soldiers from the third platoon back to his barracks. Now there are seven people in the third platoon, and the regular service Lao Jin and the red armor Daewoo are all handymen who have just been arranged by the head of the Du platoon; Geng Laosan, who had just transferred his platoon subordinates, hid in the corner as soon as he entered the camp tent, silently waiting for the follow-up arrangements made by Liang Paitou for himself. Shi Liang glanced at him, and he was very helpless.
The other three people in the camp are all recruits and soldiers who joined later in this year, among which Lao Hu (Hu Tianye) and Mainland (Lu Jun) are all survivors of the original red armor platoon, only Xiao Meng (Meng Fan) is a heavy armor platoon selected all the way from the Begonia soldiers who joined later, although it is also "some operations" just promoted, but from the point of view that the head Lu Pei can arrange him into his "cronies" three platoons, his qualifications must be excellent, and he must have the potential to become an elite.
"Uh-huh." Shi Liang cleared his throat. Although they are all brothers who have been in the camp for a long time, the man who has just become the leader of the team is still a little unnatural, and he paused for a moment before speaking: "Brothers, I am Shi Liang at the head of the platoon, and I will lead the team in the next three platoons." The man thought he should have introduced himself so succinctly, but all of a sudden no one noticed that he had finished speaking.
For a while, the big eyes looked at the small eyes, and the scene was suddenly a little embarrassing. The soldiers were still staring straight at the new platoon leader who had just taken office for a while, and they should be waiting for Shi Liang to finish speaking.
"Good!" Lao Hu, who was a little older, was the first to react and said yes. Then there was an awkward applause in silence. "Smack! Syllable! Two crisp applause instantly woke up several other black-clothed soldiers who were also in a daze.
"Good! Good! Lu Jun and Meng Fan followed, and sporadic applause quickly converged. Although it is a little messy, it is also quite crisp and loud.
In the slightly embarrassed applause of the brothers, Shi Liang, whose face was a little red, slowly began to get used to it, and raised his voice again: "Tomorrow afternoon, we need a mission, and our superiors have asked us to escort a mysterious guest from the military along the way. This guest only stayed in Yujie Town for a short time, probably after lunch, and then went straight from the Daqin River to Danruo Town. Everyone is ready to go, and we're going to go straight tomorrow morning. ”
"Brother Liang, is it just noon?" Lu Jun spoke, although he was actually two years older than Shi Liang.
Shi Liang nodded and replied affirmatively: "Well, judging from the itinerary of the guarantee token, it is true. ”
Hearing the conclusion of the ranking, Lao Hu also spoke: "That's simple, just a small task." ”
Shi Liang shook his head and admonished: "It's better to be cautious, this is the first mission after our three platoons of armor, and we must not make mistakes." After saying that, the man once again looked very carefully at the group of mecha novices in front of him who were actually more rusty than him.
In that key disaster, too many seniors and martyrs were killed, and the veterans were almost wiped out. This has also led to the fact that this group of heavy armor newcomers in Yujieyi not only made extremely slow progress in personnel replenishment, but also drove ducks to the shelves. Under the seemingly majestic heavy armor and black clothes, what cannot be avoided is the terrible fact that there is no accumulation of actual combat experience.
"Everything has to be as careful as possible." This is Lu Pei's repeated explanation last night.
Shi Pai's slightly serious scrutiny evoked the inner uncertainty of the group of recruits, and the originally somewhat lazy warriors finally began to collect their contempt.
The man who got the reliable feedback commanded again: "This way, everyone will rest and adjust after the morning training this morning." After afternoon class, Lao Hu, you, the mainland, Meng Fan, and the two of them went to pick up the mobile mecha cabin in the armory and put it at the meeting place in advance; Lao Jin, Daewoo, the two of you will take the time to go to the animal room to register, and in the afternoon you will pack up all the miscellaneous items you need in the field. Tomorrow morning, you don't have to go to order troops, go directly to the beast room and get the beast, and then go and make preparations; The third child, you will be with Lao Jin and the two of them today, and remember to help me go to the post office to invite a Nanhuashi and a Jasmine Shi, so that they can set off with Lao Jin and them tomorrow morning and help each other. ”
"Roger!" All six agreed.
Shi Liang waved his hand, and finally said, "That's all, everyone can rest." ”
When they were instructed, they found a place to make repairs. Soon, it will be the morning training that the heavy armor soldiers must have every day, and it will take a lot of energy to adapt to the heavy armor mecha, and it will not be sloppy.
Geng Laosan was still silent, and when he was over, he sat next to Shi Liang, and he didn't speak, just stayed silently. He is not really deaf and dumb, and his basic communication with people is also unhindered, but he just doesn't want to talk more.
Hongjia and Changfu naturally have their own training, but Lao Jin and Daewoo don't seem to be too relieved, the two of them put their heads together, hiding in a corner and chatting enthusiastically, as if they are exchanging things to do in the afternoon.
Suddenly, Lao Jin thought of something, and hurriedly ran back to Shi Liang and asked, "Boss, what mounts are we going to register?" ”
Only then did the man remember the omission when he had just assigned the job, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Two rhinos should be enough." ”
————————
The next day, the logistics team that set off early arrived at the water transport wharf next to Yujie Town very early. The massive Naton Rhino easily carried five unassembled metal pod parts on his back and stopped in a clearing in front of the dock where no one still sits. Although they are Roshan monsters that are rarely seen on weekdays, they are inconspicuous in this bustling dock.
The vast Daqin River and lake are constantly rippling, with all kinds of cargo ships of different sizes coming and going, reflecting the bright morning sunshine and bringing up patches of chaotic and beating golden colors. The docks are full of traffic, and everyone is busy all the time. Endless loading and unloading goods come in and out, ships waiting to be repaired are endless, and the sound of ship trumpets, fishermen's shouting, rhino mooing, and birds chirping is incessant.
But in the next moment, five fierce heavy mecha flashing with streamers suddenly arrived from the southeast sky, and then flew straight down, hovering sharply above the clearing next to the two rhino beasts that were ruminating and chewing grass.
"How did the Legion of Armor get here?" The busy boatmen and merchants immediately stopped what they were doing and looked here, but they saw Lao Jin and Daewoo, one in red armor and one in fire robe, each leading a Nanhua scholar and a begonia warrior to jump down from the tent on the back of the rhinoceros beast.
In the midst of the doubts of everyone at the dock, the five-seat simple mecha cabin was quickly set up. The tall mecha was very eye-catching on this civilian dock at this time, and although it was quickly hidden by the metal barrier of the mecha cabin, it still couldn't resist people's curiosity about them.
In the curious eyes of the spectators, Shi Liang, who was already the leader, led the four black-clothed soldiers who had gathered after unloading his armor and walked straight to the bank of the river embankment closest to him. When the busy boat boss saw the official approaching, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand, wiped the dirty black grease on his hands, and stretched out his rough hand to shake Shi Liang.
"Official, what are your orders?" The boat boss laughed.
Shi Liang looked at this dark-skinned hard-working man very gently, and greeted with a smile: "Big brother, I don't know how long your cargo ship will have to stay?" ”
Hearing the official's question, the black man naturally knew that the government needed to requisition the port, and immediately replied: "It won't take long, it won't take long, I will leave in just one hour." ”
