all-around logistician

Chapter 99
After more than five hours of flight, as soon as everyone landed, they were called to gather by the pick-up staff.

The person who picked up the plane was a lieutenant colonel, his face was very fleshy, and he looked more than 40 years old.

A captain next to Lin Yi muttered, "It looks like he's in his forties or fifties, and he can only be a lieutenant colonel. It's not a bad deal."

As far as the general trajectory of military officers is concerned, they all graduated from a military academy at the age of 22 and were promoted to lieutenant after a one-year internship.

Then lieutenants are promoted every three years, and field officers are promoted every four years. According to the basic situation, when you become a lieutenant colonel, you will be 33 to 37 years old. The difference will not be too big, and there will rarely be a 40-year-old lieutenant colonel , except for special areas.

Obviously, the captain regarded this lieutenant colonel as a bad type.

The lieutenant colonel was not angry when he heard the muttering, "It is said that the border guards are the most kind. I think this is very good. Kindness means older age. Here, the young man has been blown by the wind for a year and exposed to the sun for a year." If you are not ten years older, it means that you have not done a good job."

"You say that I am 50 or [-] years old. I don't think you are looking down on me, because in the border guards, the older the person looks, the more it is a compliment to us. This invisible military achievement chapter, which shows that we can endure hardships that others cannot bear.”

"I also hope that you will be three years older during the three months you spent on the frontier defense, which means that you didn't come to make contributions to the frontier defense in vain."

The captain blushed when he heard these words, Lin Yi asked at this moment: "Excuse me, chief, when can we arrive at the army and assign positions?"

The lieutenant colonel smiled, "You are quite active, don't worry about assigning posts, and talk slowly when you get to the place. By the way, everyone is hungry, I prepared instant noodles for you, eat at the airport before leaving. In addition, those who go to the toilet hurry up, and wait for five hours without parking, even if you hold back, you have to hold it in our group."

Five hours without parking?
As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately ran to the toilet, regardless of whether there was one or not, they had to squeeze out a little bit.

After going to the toilet, the instant noodles are also fully prepared. In fact, everyone is not picky about food. The instant noodles taste very delicious to everyone, but some people still complain, "I didn't expect to come here. The first meal is Instant noodles, if you say it, no one will believe it.”

Lin Yi smiled and said: "It's good to have instant noodles. At least the noodles still have toughness to eat. Is it possible that you want to eat dried noodles cooked in a pressure cooker? Those things are noodles when you put them in, but they are batter when you cook them. The appearance is even worse. .”

These words reminded the people on the side, "Oh, yes, our altitude here is 3000 meters, but why don't I feel anything?"

Lin Yi is a student of logistics, so he is quite clear about this, "As long as it does not ascend or descend rapidly, most people will not feel much about the altitude of 4000-[-] meters."

"However, I remember that the position of the border guards is about 4000 meters above sea level, that is to say, we have to rise 1000 meters in five hours. People with poor health may react, but it doesn't matter, I brought candy , with a piece of sugar in your mouth, it can solve a lot of problems."

Lin Yi's explanation attracted the lieutenant colonel's attention, "You are very sensible, you understand the border defense very well."

Lin Yi didn't dare to play tricks. In front of a lieutenant colonel who has been stationed in the border defense for more than ten years, he dared not explain clearly, "I read this all on the Internet, and I studied logistics, so I also understand a little bit."

Learn logistics?These words cheered up the lieutenant colonel, "It's good to learn logistics, our regiment lacks logistics personnel."

This is not a joke. You may think that the border defense should not be the most short of fighters?

In fact, this is not understanding the border guards.

The food supply of the border guards is not good. Because of transportation problems, the price of vegetables is much higher than that of ordinary places, so they often need to grow vegetables by themselves. Almost every border guard has a greenhouse. They can grow whatever they want, which not only saves money, but also saves money. Also more convenient.

As for the combatants, who said that logistics personnel can no longer be combatants, take up their guns, give an order, and rush to the front line to meet the enemy's bayonet.

After eating the instant noodles, everyone boarded the bus, and then an officer ran over with a seal, and stuck the seal on the bus door under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The lieutenant colonel said with a smile: "As soon as the seal is pasted, the car will be closed. I'm not joking about not stopping for five hours. I hope everyone can hold back if something happens."

At first, everyone thought that not stopping for five hours was just a joke, and if there is a situation, can't they be allowed to get off the car temporarily to solve the problem?

But once the seal is pasted, it's serious, and it's clear at a glance whether or not you get off the car and look at the seal.

The lieutenant sitting next to Lin Yi asked: "Comrade, don't you know border defense very well, do you know this situation?"

It was also the first time for Lin Yi to sit in a car with a seal, but combined with his knowledge of border defense, he whispered: "The first possibility is that there may not be a service area on the road we take, because we are afraid that we will damage the environment by littering. "

"The second possibility is that the air pressure inside the car is increased. If you don't open the door, the pressure inside the car will be higher than the outside world. People with poor health will not have high reactions."

"The third possibility is to save time. To go to the border guards, you have to go through far more checkpoints than you can imagine. Without a seal, everyone can come up to check, which not only wastes time, but also easily reveals whereabouts."

"After all, the inspectors are not necessarily from the army, but more from the local police. There are so many people."

"As for the fourth point, I don't think it is accurate. Vehicles stop and go in plateau areas, and they are also afraid of problems. It is better to simply drive to the place."

After listening to Lin Yi's analysis, the lieutenant revealed an expression of admiration, "Comrade, are you so strong? You can analyze four reasons with just one seal."

The lieutenant colonel also looked sideways at Lin Yi at this time, this person is not simple.

"Comrade, what's your name?"

Facing the lieutenant colonel's questioning, Lin Yi immediately said: "Report to the chief, my name is Lin Yi."

Lin Yi?

The name sounded a little familiar, the lieutenant colonel thought for a while, and suddenly remembered, "Did you get a second-class merit and a third-class merit?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, there is some element of luck."

The lieutenant colonel snorted, "You can do it, I have worked in border defense for more than ten years, and I only got two second-class merits. You got one at such a young age, and you have a bright future."

In the border guards, there are a lot of third-class merits, because the area is too difficult, and those who can be stationed for more than a few years are a kind of credit in themselves, so there are not many third-class merits, at least One to two times more than other troops.

Of course, this is still not much. After all, for third-class merit, a battalion can't pay a few dollars a year.

In contrast, they care more about second-class merit. Getting more credit is not only a kind of honor, but also has something to do with salary. This is real money.

"Since you are so capable, why don't you go to the sentry post and stay for three months? It happens that one of our squad leaders hasn't been home for more than two years. You can replace him and let him go home for a reunion."

Lin Yi was a little confused, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

The lieutenant colonel smiled, "A person who can get second-class merit doesn't even have the courage to go to the sentry post? Besides, I didn't let you go to work right away. The squad leader can tutor you for half a month to a month. You If you can manage a platoon well, don’t you have the confidence to manage a squad well?”
