Chapter 137 Banquet
"Please take two boxes of canned food and individual dry food. People have never eaten it before, and it will feel very fresh." Li Shuai said.
Captain Ye said with a bitter face, "There is only three days left, and it will be lower than the minimum guarantee line if you take it again. Even if you have resupply, it may take time!"
Li Shuai said, "I don't have to eat after this meal. Isn't this a meal for you to save? Don't worry, enough, and the supply should arrive tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay, okay, listen to you." Captain Ye agreed helplessly and distressedly.
Li Shuai smiled and said, "Captain Ye, don't just eat dry food. I know there are fruits and some, so I can take it out, grape pickles and other things."
"Fruit? Where are these things? This is a field guarantee, not in the camp. Where can I get grapes, apples and other grapes?" Captain Ye said with a blushing face.
Li Shuai pointed to the automated refrigerated truck next to him and said, "Then please Captain Ye drive the refrigerated truck. I'll look for it. Whatever I find is what I want, okay?"
"You!" Captain Ye frowned, so angry that he couldn't speak.
The general stinginess of logistics is not that people are stingy, but that their position requires them to be careful in calculations and must calculate every account clearly. The amount of money will be very troublesome. More often it is the specific use of materials. The funds and materials allocated by superiors are fixed, similar to local budgets. How much you used last year is calculated based on the specific expenditures last year. In the first half of the year, the entire unit will have to tighten its belt in the second half of the year. If you live a poorer life in the first half of the year, you will have to spend money vigorously in the second half of the year, and the officers and soldiers have opinions.
There are key points in achieving balance, which tests the capabilities of grassroots logistics leaders.
For example, in this training camp, the superiors only provide so much money and materials. If you use more today, you will find a way to make up for it tomorrow. In order to deal with various emergencies, the logistics manager usually reserves some spares and sets up a "small warehouse" and can be used in emergency situations.
Li Shuai knew this very well, so he didn't believe Captain Ye's crying for poverty.
Captain Ye had no choice but to open the refrigerated truck. Sure enough, there were a lot of fruits inside. What was rare was that there were a lot of fruits from the north, which was more attractive to the people in the south. The training team came out before the New Year until after the New Year, and the superior leadership organs would not let the soldiers suffer. Heit organized such training for the first time and paid great attention to logistics support. It was said that it was one thing to the students, but in fact the logistics support work was done solidly.
The bonfire party on New Year’s Eve is an obvious example. Captain Ye hid his whole world to buy New Year’s goods and held the bonfire party in a solid manner. It costs a lot to get those sheep just. You must know that it was on New Year’s Eve.
"Move it, move it, move it, how much do you want, I'll do it." Captain Ye looked like a dead pig was burned with boiling water.
Li Shuai waved to He Biting and the others to come over, and said with a smile, "Just move a few boxes."
Chen Xiao climbed into the car first and said with a chuckle, "Which one should be moved first? Grapes or pickups?"
"Two boxes of each type," said Li Shuai.
Captain Ye almost fainted when he heard this, "Shirtful Squad Leader, I'm just here to share all of them. You really plan to move them all. What to eat in the next few days!"
"Wild training, who can eat these in the field?" Li Shuai said with confidence.
"you……"
Captain Ye retorted speechlessly.
Chen Xiao is a ruthless person. In short, whatever the instructor says is what he says. No matter what military rank or position Captain Ye is next to him, Chen Xiao really carried out the order solidly - moving two boxes of each type.
Let’s talk about the harvest. There are only two boxes in total. During the campfire party, there is still one box left. What should I do? Sister Chen Xiao can’t help but replace the harvest with a box of grapes, which made Captain Ye shivering when he saw it.
"Whose soldier is this? Why are you so jealous? "Captain Ye was so sad with his hands and forehead.
Several female soldiers grinned when they heard this and did not dare to laugh out loud.
Li Shuai looked very embarrassed and said, "Execute the order without fail, it's good."
Chen Xiao said proudly, "Chief, we are the soldiers of the instructor. Our instructor is leading a female recruit platoon. The number 30 people are all beautiful women!"
"You? You..." Captain Ye was stunned and looked at Li Shuai in surprise, "Squad Leader Shuai, are you in the army? Yes, yes, those who can lead female soldiers are all powerful."
Li Shuai could only explain, "Our base trained a group of female recruits this year, and they were the three I brought over, He Biting, Chen Xiao, and Zhang Xiaoran. The organization arranged for me to bring this female recruit platoon, so I could only take over."
"Your leader values you very much." Captain Ye accepted his fate and gave Li Shuai a look and walked aside. After Li Shuai came, he glanced at the female students who were busy carrying things and whispered, "I tell you the truth that female soldiers are the most difficult to lead. There is this saying that if you can lead a squad of female soldiers, you can lead a male soldier in a company. If you can bring a platoon of female soldiers out, you can become a company commander."
Li Shuai was surprised, "I have never heard of what this is said."
"Because it's your first time." Captain Ye pointed at himself with a bitter face and said, "I have brought several groups of female soldiers. It's really hard for women to control women, even if they wear military uniforms, they are still women. Yes, right, the first identity of wearing military uniforms is a soldier. However, now, it's a non-war era. Even in war eras, there are differences between women and men, and the difference in life is even greater. If you can bring out a female soldier in a harmonious collective, not to mention the others, if you have some achievements, you can get a third-class merit every year."
Li Shuai was stunned for a long time, and almost came up in one breath. After a while, he said, "It turned out to be a difficult action, it turned out to be so difficult. To be honest, yes, I have never brought a female soldier. I was quite confused when I received the order. Captain Ye, I actually don't look down on women and have no machistic ideas. However, when I was in the army and fight, I was born to prepare for men. Women have disadvantages in all aspects."
He paused and said seriously, "It is correct for the superior leadership organs to continuously increase the number of female soldiers. I personally think it is very correct. As you said just now, it is a non-war era, and it is very likely that there will be a long period of non-war state in the future. The troops need female soldiers, and more positions need female soldiers."
Captain Ye looked at Li Shuai unexpectedly, "Squad Leader Shuai, you don't look like you just started to lead a female soldier. Who is the one who just led a female soldier who is not as good as death as a tragic person? Your brother is OK!"
"What is this saying? I haven't heard of it." Li Shuai said with a smile.
Captain Ye patted Li Shuai's shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother, wait and see. Brother has a saying, if you can bring the female soldier out, you will have a bright future."
Li Shuai was curious and asked, "Captain Ye, I don't quite understand."
Captain Ye pointed at himself and said, "I was promoted by a soldier. After returning to the military academy, I went to the communications battalion after I studied and returned to the army. At that time, there was a female soldier platoon and a telephone platoon, all of whom were little girls. Really, after I took it for a year, I was transferred to the grassroots troops to lead the troops, and it was no problem for a single company."
"It's a bit evil." Li Shuai said with a smile.
Captain Ye stopped saying anything and left with a smile. He felt much better because most of the fruits he had brought with him with great effort were "pitted" by Li Shuai.
Li Shuai didn't think much about it. After the female student class was unloaded, he first checked it out, and then took the team to the banquet site. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and the village chief had already negotiated and organized officers and soldiers to sit together with the villagers. Basically, each table was half and half of the staff. Not to mention, it was possible to hold more than 300 people to have dinner at the same time. This was a big scene. According to the banquet, it was more than 30 tables.
There are also some people who have no place. The village chief quickly mobilized everyone to go home to move tables and stools, and simply turned a battlefield lunch into a rural banquet. In fact, no one could imagine that it was the current style, including the village committee. The village committee had a simple idea, which was to let all households make some efforts to make some food for the soldiers. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when soldiers passed by, they came up to help with the fire. How could the people not react? So young soldiers were all children of their parents. Why do others watch TV, games, eat and drink at home on the first day of the Lunar New Year to suffer from the suffering? Since this is the case, then we ordinary people do their best to make some delicious food and let the soldiers have the first lunch of the New Year, which is the only thing they can do.
The scene became increasingly fierce. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao became nervous and quickly called the Chief of Staff to ask for instructions. The Chief of Staff also simply said one sentence - a decision on the spot. In the end, the pressure was still on the side of Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao. He looked up and saw that the fire on the mountain was moving in a controllable direction. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and did not think much about it. At worst, it was a friendship with the people. Anyway, he had made up his mind and asked Captain Ye to prepare 10,000 yuan and some condolences, and to count the fruit that Li Shuai deducted and gave it to the village committee in the name of the army, so that the village committee could distribute it.
Li Shuai was busy greeting him everywhere, as if he was on the sidelines. He also knew that there was no problem with friendship and no problem with eating together, but he had to hold the initiative in his hands, otherwise he would be suspected of taking advantage of the masses. When he learned that Captain Ye had prepared 10,000 yuan in cash, he specially found Captain Ye to talk about this matter.
"As for local prices, it is the Spring Festival again, there are 40 tables here, and 10,000 yuan is not enough." Li Shuai analyzed calmly.
Captain Ye smiled wryly and pointed to the fire on the mountain, "I said, brother, you are fighting a forest fire now, and it's still burning on it. You really think it's a banquet."
"But the facts are right in front of you. You can't let the people say we can take advantage of it. I suggest giving at least 20,000 yuan of condolences. Every household in the village can get six or seven hundred yuan and some condolences, which is barely possible." Li Shuai insisted.
Captain Ye looked around and said in a voice, "I brought a total of 20,000 yuan in cash when I came out this time, and if I used it as condolences, I would have no cash if I had something to do in the next few days."
When the troops are training in the field, the person in charge of logistics support will bring some cash to solve various problems, such as the bonfire party that requires cash to buy ingredients on site, and the other way around the army to run a collision with local vehicles. In this way, the person in charge of logistics support will carry cash and balance the matter.
When Li Shuai was in the old army, he encountered some emergencies when training outside. When the convoy was maneuvering, local vehicles crossed over in violation of traffic rules and then collided. Obviously, the responsibility lies with local vehicles, but the problem is that the troops cannot wait to deal with the problems with you. Generally, if it is a small problem, such as scratches, there are no casualties, and there are thousands or even thousands of yuan. The troops will give you the right one, and they don’t care who is responsible at all, because the troops are the first priority in performing military affairs.
Li Shuai told Captain Ye with certainty, "I'll give you a brief explanation. I really interrupted the individual soldiers' comprehensive drill and then went to a field survival for five or seven days. The cash you brought basically cannot play a role."
"Shishou, you're going to make trouble again. Did Lao Zhao agree?" Captain Ye said angrily, "To be honest, it's really tiring to follow you to do this job. Not only do you have to be tired, but you have to be worried."
Li Shuai smiled and said, "Captain Ye, why are you ungrateful? I am an outsider. This training is organized by you, Haite. You, Haite, attaches importance to it. I want to play a signboard. I arranged the training content for your goals. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao has no problem with me, I am the chief instructor."
He really doesn't treat himself as a non-commissioned officer. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and Captain Ye are both major and deputy battalion-level cadres, and both have positions. He, a small fourth-level sergeant, never regarded himself as a soldier, and also brought the status of chief instructor to the extreme. This is not Li Shuai's airs, but because since he accepted this responsibility, he will definitely try his best to do everything possible to do things well.
In the final analysis, he cannot lose his old unit and his current unit's face.
"Okay, okay, Lao Zhao and I will discuss it. I don't care about how you train, but you must discuss it with me in advance in terms of logistics support, otherwise I won't be able to do anything about my job before, and the superiors ask me. You are an outsider, pat your butt and leave, and the rest is all ours." Captain Ye said in a joking tone.
Li Shuai smiled and said, "No problem, Captain Ye, don't worry. Okay, let's eat too. It's the Spring Festival, Captain Ye, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Captain Ye's smile was a little bitter. How could he be happy about this Spring Festival?
