Chapter 101 Going to the Outpost
When the lieutenant colonel heard Lin Yi's words, he suddenly remembered that he was a support staff, so he would naturally consider the food issue.

He waved his hand, "Don't worry, I promise to let you eat and drink well. Our border guards are very hospitable. It is no exaggeration to say that yak meat can keep you full."

Yaks are a common creature in plateau areas. They can survive at an average altitude of 5000 meters, and even at an altitude of 400 meters.

Although this species originated from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is very common in all plateau areas for modern and convenient transportation.

There are many yaks including the frontier defense regiment. The reason is very simple. This kind of creature can survive in the plateau area. If you bring ordinary cattle and sheep here to raise, it is difficult to raise them. There are many reasons. Just one is enough, such as perennial Windy weather is not suitable for the survival of these creatures.

Don't you think that there are still troops raising cattle and sheep?

Lin Yi can say very clearly, not to mention that large troops like the border defense regiment have places to raise them. Many outposts will go to raise them even if they have no place. If you really read the news, you will know that an eight-person outpost drives ten people every day. Come on cow patrol.

Everyone should be clear, they are not herdsmen and militias, and there is no such thing as grazing or guarding the border. They are serious border guards of the People's Liberation Army.

The reason for this situation is also very simple, that is, they usually cannot supply meat, so they can only solve it on their own, and they have to adapt to local conditions.

China's terrain is so complex that it would be too impractical to rely on a set of dead rules to determine everything.

Lin Yi hadn't eaten yak meat yet, so he was very interested in it, but the lieutenant colonel suddenly remembered something, "You may not be able to eat yak meat anymore, the vehicle for delivering supplies is about to start today, and deliver supplies once a week, this time you I can’t catch up, I think I’ll have to wait until next week.”

Hearing this, the comrades around Lin Yi said one after another: "Next week will be next week, it's not that I won't be there, I have to let Lin Yi eat and drink well."

The lieutenant colonel had a difficult time, because the border guards were indeed very hospitable.

Lin Yi smiled, "It's morning and evening, and I can stay confident for three months, so what if I go one week in the morning and one week in the evening."

"Besides, the squad leader I succeeded didn't come home after two years at the outpost. It would be better to let him go back to reunite with his family earlier. This can be regarded as a contribution to his comrades."

After the lieutenant colonel heard it, he nodded, took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Xiao Xu, put an extra yak leg in the materials prepared for class 8 today, don't tell me that the quantity is not quantitative, there will be more people there .”

"In addition, prepare more clear oil for rice noodles. Don't be like last time. The road was closed for five days in a snowstorm. The 8th class walked ten kilometers to the 7th class to borrow a catty of clear oil before it was time to deliver the supplies."

"He's a young officer from Brigade A, don't let them think we've treated him badly."

It was related to outsiders' views on the frontier defense regiment, that assistant Xu suddenly fell silent, and it was true that one person was added, so naturally the amount of supplies would also need to be added.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you add or not. It is said that the supplies are delivered once a week, but the amount of supplies is enough for half a month.

Of course, the amount of meat is indeed only enough for a week of normal consumption, and the shelf life of many fresh vegetables is only about a week.

So if there is a snowstorm blocking the road, except for cabbage, potatoes, radishes, cabbage, and Pi Yazi (onions), which can be stored for one winter, there will be a large amount of storage, and other fresh vegetables will definitely not be available.

If you are hungry, you will not be hungry, but you must have no taste in your mouth.

Especially for vegetarian dishes, the fuel consumption is really huge without meat.

Everyone, don't use your own preferences to measure fighters.

You may think, isn’t it so pretentious to just eat simple food for a few days?
You will know when you are in the high altitude area, in the weather of minus [-] degrees, when you are training, patrolling, snow shoveling and other physical labor.

You don't even need to work, even if you stand on guard for an hour in this weather, you will know why you are hungry.

When everyone heard what the lieutenant colonel said, they didn't say anything anymore. The leaders of the frontier defense were really interesting.

After five hours of driving, the vehicle finally entered the training ground of the border defense regiment.

At this time, there were already a dozen people waiting on the playground.

As soon as the car door opened, the lieutenant next to Lin Yi suddenly felt stunned, and then took a deep breath.

Lin Yi knew that this was a slight high reaction, and immediately took out a fruit candy, "It's enough to keep it in your mouth. With our bodies and this altitude, it's not a problem at present."

In fact, the altitude of 5000 meters above sea level may seem high, but it is actually acceptable to most people. This is not an altitude that is too high to bear.

However, it is true that some people will not be able to bear it, but after a period of adaptation, it is basically not a big problem.

If you really can't stand it for a long time, you can only send it down the mountain and go to the base for training at the foot of the mountain.

But this is a very small number, after all, most people's physical endurance is similar.

But before the lieutenant colonel got out of the car, a captain came up, "Deputy Captain Kong, those who are going to Class 8, hurry up and follow me, the car delivering supplies is about to leave."

In terms of border defense, the delivery of material vehicles is the top priority, even higher than many meetings.

The reason is very simple. The weather here changes as soon as it is said, and the delivery vehicles basically leave as soon as they say, and they can't wait for anything. Otherwise, if the delivery process is blocked by wind and snow, the people at the outpost will have to suffer. up.

Vice-head Kong looked at the weather and felt quite relaxed, "Don't worry, according to my understanding of this place, it is very difficult to have bad weather for two or three days after the wind blowing snow. Great opportunity to move supplies."

"Besides, even if you are in a hurry, you have to ask our Comrade Lin Yi to take the package and have a sip of milk tea. We border guards don't treat guests like this."

Assistant Xu shook the thermos in his hand, "Don't worry, Deputy Commander Kong, I've already prepared it. I have a pot of milk tea. I'll drink it slowly when I get in the car."

Seeing the complaint, Lin immediately stood up, "Since time is short, I will set off immediately."

Deputy head Kong waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll go with you, I have to explain a lot to you."

As soon as Assistant Xu heard this, he got out of the car and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Quick, come and help with the luggage, we're leaving right now."

It is not a truck that delivers the supplies, but a convoy, in order to ensure that the goods are delivered in one go without any delay.

One car is responsible for two stations, and this dispatch is a car company, which is quite spectacular.

Lin Yi followed Deputy Head Kong into the car again, and Assistant Xu sat beside him. He was very hospitable. As soon as he got in the car, he took out the thermos, took out a disposable paper cup and filled it up, and handed it over, "Welcome Lieutenant Lin to the post. Training!"
