Chapter 98 Departure for Border Defense

After returning to Camp C, apart from being welcomed by all the cooking team, there was no disturbance, and Lin Yi was also called to the camp headquarters to talk early.

The content is very simple, it is about young officers going to study and communicate with troops in difficult areas.

In fact, this policy has always been in place in the army. In everyone's eyes, isn't the army itself a place to endure hardships? It should be the same wherever you go.

But in fact, this is not the case. The coastal areas and inland areas are slightly better than the frontier areas in terms of living environment and food conditions.

This is mainly due to favorable geographical conditions, where they can buy more food for the same price.

Similarly, frontier areas are better than troops in difficult areas. Most of these places are plateaus and mountains, and the biggest obstacle is still inconvenient transportation.

Although national defense highways have been connected to various places, after all, they are highways built in harsh environments, and transportation is still limited.

The harsh environment and poor food conditions have resulted in differences in the ability to endure hardships and stand hard work.

As an excellent soldier, you have to go to the most difficult place to exercise. This kind of place is not only a touchstone, but also a sharpening stone.

Those who can successfully come out have better prospects than ordinary officers.

And Lin Yi is also actively preparing everything for the frontier defense force.

Including candy and snacks, but after the news was notified, it seemed to have disappeared. For three consecutive months, there was no news of the departure.

Lin Yi didn't have any ideas, and his work was still normal, but he knew that the longer the delay, the harder it would be.

Because, today is the beginning of winter.

I heard from my classmates on the frontier that it was minus [-] degrees there. The low temperature is not the most terrible thing, but the most terrible thing is the combination of low temperature and wind.

Blizzards every day have become a daily routine. In fact, to be precise, it is not called a blizzard. There is a proper term for it called Fengchuixue.

The wind and snow are similar to the blizzard, but the wind blows harder. If you go out without a cold mask, even if you come back from the toilet, your face will be scratched.

Those who can stay at the regiment headquarters will feel much more comfortable, but the officers and soldiers in the outpost have reached the most difficult time of the year again.

In the past three months, Xiao Li, who has been converted to a senior soldier, has been going to the clerk in the camp. He doesn't say anything, just asks when Lin Yi will leave.

The paperwork can't be bothered, but because of Lin Yi's face, it's not good to get angry with Xiao Li, "My Comrade Xiao Li, even if you are reluctant to leave Assistant Lin, you can't bother me every day. I just A small clerk, can it be my turn to worry about the affairs of their officers? If not, you can directly ask the battalion commander and instructor, they probably know."

How dare Xiao Li ask the battalion commander and instructor about such things, "Brother clerk, you know everything in the battalion, isn't it the same if I ask you? Since there is no news, then I will leave first."

Soon Xiao Li passed by Lin Yi's office and got in, "Brother Lin, I went to the clerk for a while, but he didn't have any news about your going to the border defense. It seems that this matter is blown. I think Very good, such a cold day, it is hard for us here, let alone go to the border defense, it is estimated that it will be cold to death."

Lin Yi looked at Xiao Li, "After the training, why don't you come and sit here? Don't ask the secretary to ask such questions in the future. I have a feeling that we are about to set off."

Xiao Li's eyes widened, "What?"

At this moment, the phone in front of Lin Yi's desk rang. As a low-level military officer, there is only one phone, and there is no red or black phone. As long as calls are made, they are basically superiors.

Quickly answered the phone, "I'm Lin Yi, Assistant of Camp C."

"I'm from the Logistics Department of Brigade A. I'm here to inform you that at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, bring all your equipment to the Logistics Department to report, and set off to study and communicate with the border guards."

"Yes, I will be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi shrugged, "My intuition is right."

Xiao Li was stunned, "It turns out that the news of going to the border defense didn't pass through the battalion, so I have to go to the clerical office every week. Isn't this a waste of time?"

Lin Yi smiled, "I know what you mean. That's fine. During the time I'm gone, you should train hard and pay more attention to your studies. When you fought against the flood last time, you also got a third-class merit and stayed as a non-commissioned officer. I have great hopes, read more books if you have nothing to do, as long as you pass the exam, there is almost no problem staying as a non-commissioned officer."

Xiao Li knew that when he was fighting the flood, he had been honored by Lin Yi. If it weren't for Lin Yi's determination and bravery, he would have won the third-class merit, and it would be good if he didn't violate discipline. Let me work with you for a few more years, the literacy test is easy, I am going to pester the clerk and ask him to draw the key points for me, it will definitely not be difficult to pass the test."

"Okay, as long as I'm prepared, I'll report to my superiors first, explain the work in hand, and talk at night."

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Lin Yi was still busy with the cooking class. Lin Yi didn't put down the work until the secretary came to call Lin Yi.

"My Assistant Lin, you are going to the frontier defense tomorrow, and you still have the heart to cook now? Go and sit on the battalion leader's table, the battalion commander's instructor has been waiting for a long time."

Lin Yi was a little confused by what he said. He is not a battalion leader, and it is even more impossible to eat at the battalion leader's table. Why are they waiting for him?

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't speak, the document directly pulled Lin Yi's sleeve and walked out.

When we arrived at the leader's table, the battalion commander pointed to the empty seat, "Xiao Lin, come and sit down."

"I called you here for dinner this time. There is no other meaning. I just want to see you off and then tell me what's on my mind."

"I know you are very capable, but there is no confrontation between man and nature. To put it simply, I don't recommend you go to the border post. With your current achievements, there is no need to go through that hardship."

"It's best for you to stay in the regiment headquarters of the border defense regiment and do logistics. This is also your specialty. If you really want to go to the outpost, pick a sunny and windy weather, and follow along to deliver supplies. There is no need Stay there for three months."

The instructor also said at this time: "Xiaolin, we only say these things because we treat you as a family member. Anyway, we are making contributions everywhere. Okay, let's not talk about sensitive topics. Eat more, early tonight Go to sleep and leave early tomorrow."

Silent all night.

The next day there were a dozen or so people gathered in Brigade A, basically one from each battalion. The director of logistics looked at the people who were the lowest was a lieutenant and the highest was a captain, and said: "I won't talk nonsense, you are all Officer, I’m not a child anymore, I’ll just say, don’t embarrass our Brigade A when it comes to border defense.”

"Each of you should know how much money you have, and if you don't have the ability, don't pretend to me to apply for the outpost. Just stay in the border guard regiment honestly. The conditions there are a hundred times better than those in the outpost."

"If anyone dares to apply for the sentry post, and he can't bear the hardships and can't stay there, let alone someone from our A brigade, we will deny it. As long as you go to the sentry post, even if you die there, you have to be stabbed by me." It's been three months, do you hear me clearly?"

Everyone didn't expect the opening remarks to be so severe, and they didn't dare to neglect, and shouted: "Yes!"

The face of the director of logistics was still grim, "Get in the car and set off for the airport."
