Chapter 487: Distribution of Equipment
Shadow Dance and Light Spirit rode horses to come here first according to Wang Yong's instructions, found a decent place, took out all the equipment stored in the large-capacity Spirit Void Ring, and waited for Wang Yong to bring someone to receive it.
Although this seems to be a redundant move, Wang Yong has no intention of revealing the secret of the Spirit Void Ring for the time being, and in order not to make others suspicious, he will do so as a last resort. But that's not bad, it's better to have the soldiers see so much equipment in person than to distribute them one by one from the warehouse.
When the soldiers came over, Shadow Dance and Light Spirit were really startled, and they thought that these soldiers had mutinied and came to grab the equipment. Shadow Dance and Light Spirit were about to take back the equipment on the ground and then hurry to see the situation on Wang Yong's side, but they saw that the people in the lead were George and Gibbon, and they did not act abnormally, so the hearts of Shadow Dance and Light Spirit were slightly relieved. As more and more soldiers arrived, and seeing George and the soldiers running around with their equipment, although their faces were full of yearning and longing, no one came to snatch them, and Shadow Dance and Light Spirit's heart was completely put down.
When Wang Yong and Fuller arrived with the logistics convoy, the soldiers watched with envy as the smug-looking logistics soldiers loaded the weapons and armor scattered on the ground one by one onto the carriage, and they were all annoyed why they had not been assigned to the logistics system in the first place.
When the logistics soldiers were carrying the equipment, whenever someone accidentally dropped the leather armor or big sword on the ground, the soldiers would scold in distress, telling the hairy guy to be careful, otherwise he would look good in the future.
After more than an hour of counting and sorting, 4,000 sets of equipment filled almost 40 or so carriages, and looking at the neat equipment on the carriages, everyone's hearts were excited, because one of these equipment would belong to them.
By the time the convoy slowly returned to the barracks, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Yong parked the logistics carriage outside the north gate of the barracks, and then shouted to the soldiers who had followed him all the way: "That's it for today's training, all the soldiers are lined up, and all the officers have come to me to report and prepare to distribute the equipment." Hearing this, the soldiers boiled again, and lined up in a neat phalanx with unprecedented speed, and then the officers were urged to trot all the way to Wang Yong and stand in line around him, and their faces were also filled with excited smiles.
In fact, everyone in the Fifth Light Infantry Regiment knew in their hearts that although their numbers and establishment were regular and complete before, they were not considered regular troops at all without weapons and equipment. At best, they were organized militias, but now they are different, with equipment, they are completely regular troops, and they will no longer be ridiculed by the soldiers of other units.
Wang Yong jumped onto the carriage at the front and said to the neatly arranged officers in front of him: "Next, take the 100-person brigade as a unit to receive the equipment in turn." Before receiving the equipment, the group leader must report the number of soldiers in the headquarters, the type and quantity of armor required, and the armor of the officers will not be issued for the time being. So don't count it, wait until the soldiers' equipment is distributed before you come and pick up your special armor. Next, starting with the 1st Brigade of the 1st Wing. Go to the logistics officer to register first, and then come to me to pick up the equipment, let's get started. ”
The captain of the first brigade to which the first wing belonged ran out of the queue with an excited face, and when he went to the logistics officer who was in charge of registration, he thought for a long time about how many special types of armor were needed. The other waiting officers cursed and urged him vigorously, and the captain who was so nervous that he couldn't figure it out, and finally Wang Yong asked him to report the situation. Later, it was inappropriate to find a logistics replacement, which helped the first captain to relieve the siege, and also calmed the eager anger of the excited officers.
In the meantime, the other officers were also thinking about the figures of their soldiers in their hearts, and then thinking about the armor models that would be reported later, so as not to panic like the first captain.
After the registration, the first captain took his two squadron leaders and ten squad leaders to Wang Yong, first gave Wang Yong a standard military salute, and then handed Wang Yong the bill of lading issued by the logistics officer to Wang Yong.
Wang Yong didn't answer, rolled his eyes and said, "You give me a fart, go to the officer in charge of logistics." As he spoke, Wang Yong pointed to a logistics officer next to the carriage behind him.
The captain of the first brigade smiled, ran to the logistics officer, stuffed the bill of lading to him and said, "Kelly, pick a better one for me." ”
Kelly rolled his eyes and said, "It's all the same, what's good or bad." As he spoke, he picked up the bill of lading and looked at it, and then said to his subordinates behind him: "Give them eighty-seven sets of ordinary medium, five sets of large, and eight sets of small leather armor, one hundred large swords, twenty wooden shields, and one hundred sets of maintenance oil." Mondstadt, the captain of the First Brigade, was about to go over to help the logistics soldiers get the equipment together, and he wanted to take the opportunity to pick up some good ones, but was stopped by the logistics officer Kelly.
Kai drew a long horizontal line on the ground with a wooden sword, separated the convoy from the officers, and pointed to the horizontal line, saying, "No one is allowed to cross the horizontal line, just stand outside and wait for us to bring you the equipment, otherwise you will not want to receive the equipment." Mondstadt, the leader of the first group, swallowed as he watched the logisticians remove a suit of armor from the wagon, and watched with a blank, not taking Kelly's attitude to heart at all, only thinking about getting the equipment as soon as possible.
A logistician struggled to walk up to Mondstadt with ten sets of leather armor, and was about to put the leather armor on the ground, when Mondstadt hurriedly stepped forward to take the leather armor, but was stopped by Kelly again.
Mondstadt looked angry and said, "Damn, this can't be done, you can't just leave such a nice leather armor on the ground, right?"
Kelly looked at the potholed ground and called two of his men and said, "Go, bring more hay and pad it, so as not to scratch the equipment." ”
In a few moments, the horizontal line that Kelly had drawn was obscured by a large amount of hay, and in the blink of an eye, it was filled with stacks of leather armor, swords, shields, and maintenance oil.
After counting again, the logistician said to Mondstadt, "It's all right, take it." Mondstadt looked at Kelly, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he hurriedly beckoned his squadron leaders to bring the equipment back to the headquarters.
However, when a dozen of them began to happily go to get the equipment, they found that there were too many things and too few people, and they couldn't finish it at one time.
At this time, the captain of the second brigade had already finished registering and came over with the bill of lading, and when he saw Mondstadt, he said impatiently, "I said Mondstadt, can you hurry up?"
Mondstadt glared at the second captain and said, "Damn, you're in a hurry, you see that there are only a dozen of us with so many things, how can we take them?"
The second captain and the other officers looked at the long row of equipment and hurriedly ordered his men to go back and call for someone to come, so that they could save the same time as Mondstadt.
In a few moments, Mondstadt's men arrived in a hurry, and two dozen or so men worked together to carry back all the equipment assigned to them at once, and the leather bags containing the maintenance oil were also wrapped in clothes by the two soldiers.
Looking at the twenty-three of them, almost each of them carried an inferior log shield, or carried a dozen pieces of leather armor, or resisted more than a dozen large swords, or even held leather boots, belts, and helmets with a belt, in short, none of the twenty or so people were idle, and they all returned with full loads.
On the way back to the headquarters, the soldiers of the other phalanx looked at them with envy, and Mondstadt and his party returned to the headquarters with their hands in high spirits, and then began to distribute their equipment.
Mondstadt's soldiers lined up, looking triumphantly at the soldiers in the phalanx next to them, and then, in their eyes of envy, they put on the leather armor they had just arrived, put away the oil, picked up the brand-new greatsword and rubbed it vigorously on their clothes.
Because of Mondstadt's mistake, two tall and strong soldiers were only given too small and ill-fitting leather armor, and they were sweating profusely after they didn't put on the leather armor for a long time, and finally Mondstadt told them not to hurry, just let them go to the logistics unit to change after the equipment was distributed, which made the two soldiers who were about to cry relax and look at the other comrades with envy for the new equipment.
With the demonstration of the Mondstadt brigade, the other brigades made sufficient preparations in advance, so the next equipment distribution was smooth, but even so, it took more than two hours to complete the equipment distribution of more than 30 brigades.
Wang Yong stood in the carriage with Light Spirit and Shadow Dance, all three of them chewing candy in their mouths, Wang Yong pointed to the soldiers who had all changed into leather armor and said to Shadow Dance and Light Spirit beside him, "How is it?
Qingling nodded his little head and said, "Say, it looks a little more murderous." ”
Shadow Dance nodded as well and said, "Well, it looks like a detachment at last." ”
Wang Yong smiled and said, "It's like an army now, what was it like before?"
Shadow Dance thought for a moment and said, "Like a bunch of bandits." ”
"Well, he's the kind of bandit who is so poor that he doesn't even have a weapon. Fuller shook his head and sighed vigorously when he heard this.
After most of the soldiers finished changing their clothes, the officers came over with soldiers whose leather armor did not fit and asked them to go to the logistics unit to change their equipment, while they themselves stood in a group again, waiting for Wang Yong to distribute their equipment with an expectant expression.
Looking at the officers with expectant faces, Wang Yong hesitated for a while before saying to the logistics officer Kelly: "Give each of them an ordinary big sword, and the armor will not be issued for the time being." ”
Seeing the disappointment and puzzlement on the faces of the officers, Wang Yong explained: "There are still three days before the preliminary training is over, at that time, I believe that most of you will be promoted, if you are issued armor now, and you have to change it after wearing it for three days, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
