Chapter 815: Chapter 556: Buying Tradition with Money
"Old platoon leader, we know what you’re saying, and we understand your feelings, but the regint indeed has its difficulties."
"Then don’t engage in reserve activities, just focus on training the civilian soldiers well!"
"Old platoon leader, don’t get worked up, we’re trying to find solutions."
Investor Zhou looked distressed.
Yang Jianbo hesitated to speak.
It seems the regint is truly poor and genuinely unable to solve these most basic needs.
Han Yu can only say, "Uniforms will be handled by our camp. The spring and fall regular uniforms and winter regular uniforms are too expensive, so we won’t issue them for now. Everyone, including the camp’s staff officers, will be issued camouflage uniforms!"
The Ard Forces Departnt is said to be under dual leadership from the Military District and local authorities, but essentially, it mainly receives leadership from the Military District. But in situations like this, at least we can ask for money from the local [party] committee governnt, and the organizational structure is sound, with military departnts in each town.
The Reserve Regint has nothing, besides asking Vice Mayor Qin, whom else can we ask? But Vice Mayor Qin isn’t a standing committee mber, and his ranking among Binjiang’s vice mayors is quite low due to his seniority.
The position is quite high, now at a vice director level, but without substantial authority, unable to help solve funding issues.
Liu Degui realized that slamming the table was useless and pondered aloud, "We are a Flood Control and Rescue Mobile Assault Battalion, and during flood season, which generally falls in sumr, it’s already hot, and working makes it even hotter. If we actually undertake rescue missions, we could be drenched within half an hour.
One set of camouflage uniforms isn’t enough; at least two sets should be issued, otherwise we won’t have anything to change into. Forget about the army’s big shorts, they’re uncomfortable, but vests should be issued more, and shoes and socks should also be provided in greater numbers."
Han Yu glanced at the price list provided by Investor Zhou, secretly calculated that the camp could bear the costs, and said, "Alright, the expenses for purchasing camouflage uniforms, vests, socks, and rubber shoes will be covered by our camp. We ask your military supply departnt to help us with the procurent. We lack procurent channels and cannot buy counterfeit military gear."
"Camp Commander Han, rest assured, as long as there’s funding, I’m responsible for procurent, and shipping costs will be covered by the regint."
"Wait a mont."
Liu Degui lit a cigarette and continued, "Working leads to sweating, and if you sweat too much, you’ll need to drink water, otherwise dehydration or heatstroke could occur, so water bottles are also essential. Considering we might undertake flood control rescue missions, aning we might fight in the rain, raincoats must also be issued."
Han Yu agreed and said, "Just camouflage uniforms and pants aren’t enough; belts also need to be issued."
"Camp Commander, why not add towels and toothbrush holders? Since we’re about to organize training, we should look like a proper unit, aligned and uniform."
"Alright."
Han Yu and Liu Degui quickly finalized the list of necessary equipnt.
Considering the varying sizes of military uniforms, we have to wait until the company leaders complete collecting height and waist asurents of the soldiers before we can finalize the sizes needed for the military gear.
...
Districts and counties perform better than cities.
Conditions in the camp are better than in the regint.
This seems to have beco Binjiang’s tradition.
Investor Zhou found it all so absurd and recalled how the regint’s Political Commissioner said that since the Linghai Reserve was to be made a "model camp," the regint must make so gestures, quickly added, "Camp Commander Han, old platoon leader, there’s one thing I nearly forgot to report to both of you."
"You’re an investor, I’m a camp commander, we’re on equal footing; what are you reporting to ?"
"Then it’s an update."
Investor Zhou smiled, put away the form he took out earlier, and said, "You’ve established the camp area and made it so well, with hardware conditions in place, the software conditions also need to catch up. The regint’s committee has decided that Friend Jianbo will be stationed at the camp permanently starting today."
Han Yu replied, "This is a good thing, welco, welco."
"Considering the transportation unit currently has no tasks and can’t just go out helping others like before, the regint has decided to station the transportation unit’s three trucks and five soldiers in the camp area to be managed by the camp during regular tis, and follow the regint’s leadership when there’s a transportation task."
As soon as Investor Zhou finished speaking, Yang Jianbo smilingly added, "Camp Commander, there aren’t many transportation tasks in our camp, so we can have so of the soldiers rotate and stand guard."
Han Yu jokingly asked, "Is it both a transportation unit and a guard unit?"
"Hmm."
"Alright, having guards at the entrance makes it feel like a military camp!"
Seeing the Binjiang Water Army Commander so pleased, Investor Zhou seized the opportunity and said, "Camp Commander Han, those five soldiers can all drive, but we only have three Liberation trucks. The regint head has decided to allocate the Cherokee from the small car unit to you."
Han Yu had visited the regintal headquarters and was not completely unaware of the regint’s situation.
The regint has several jeeps, mostly old 212 Jeeps, with only one Cherokee SUV issued by the superior last year, which is also the best vehicle in the regint.
The regint leadership intends to allocate the best vehicle to the Linghai Reserve Camp. Han Yu whispered, "If that vehicle is allocated to us, what will the regintal commander and the political commissioner use when they go out for work?"
"There are several small vehicles in the regint. The regintal commander has said that the Cherokee’s condition is the best, and the camp needs it more than the regint."
"Thank you, regint leadership, for your concern."
"Don’t be embarrassed, Camp Commander Han, what the regint can do is limited to this."
You have to be willing to give in order to gain support in work.
Investor Zhou paused, then changed the topic, "Before I ca, the political commissioner instructed that once the camp is completed, you should reserve a room for the honor room, at which ti the political office will help with the setup."
Han Yu asked with a smile, "Our camp has just been established, what honor do we have?"
"You do have honor."
Investor Zhou took out a stack of docunts from his bag and explained with a smile, "The predecessor of our regint was the Binjiang Reserve Division, which was ford based on an infantry regint that was transferred to the Provincial Military District after being disbanded. The predecessor of that infantry regint’s battalion was an independent regint from the West Sea Military District in the Jiaodong Military Region during the anti-Japanese war. It underwent multiple restructurings and was successively affiliated with the Dongshan Army, East China Field Army, Third Field Army, and Nanjing Military Region."
Han Yu imdiately beca interested and eagerly asked, "Investor Zhou, are you saying our regint has the lineage of the Third Field Army?"
"It should be said to have the heritage of the Third Field Army."
"That’s great! My master is referred to as Third Field Army, and my master’s father was an old revolutionary in the Third Field Army!"
"What a coincidence."
Investor Zhou smiled and continued, "This battalion is a heroic unit with outstanding battle achievents and talents. During the Liberation War, it participated in 79 major battles, including Jinan, Huaihai, crossing the river and liberating the East Sea, annihilating over 20,000 enemies, and was bestowed the ’Heroic Assault Battalion’ honor title by the Central Military Commission. To date, it has produced 39 generals!"
In September 1965, the battalion’s Second Company excelled in the entire military competitions and was awarded the ’Red Saber Battalion’ honor title by the Ministry of National Defense.
Camp Commander Han, you ntioned earlier that our regint has the lineage of the Third Field Army. The political commissioner asked
to inform you that from now on, the predecessor of your camp is this heroic ’Heroic Assault Battalion’, and your camp has one company that can inherit the ’Red Saber Battalion’, but you must inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of the ’Heroic Assault Battalion’ and the ’Red Saber Battalion’."
The developnt zone’s investnt attraction requires soft power.
For the military, this is also "soft power
