Chapter 822: Chapter 560: We’re Flood Prevention Experts (Part 2)

The first platoon of the first company is mainly responsible for earthwork construction, while the second and third platoons are responsible for earthwork transportation.

The fourth platoon is an auxiliary construction unit. The so-called auxiliary tasks are those jobs that machines cannot handle, equivalent to general laborers on a construction site.

Since the auxiliary work requires no technical skills, the platoon is made up of eighteen warriors, all selected from among the "roaming soldiers" sent from various townships and streets without any professional skills.

Each person has a roster, and everyone reviews the list to help assign personnel to the fourth platoon.

This young man was a driver in the army and has skills, so he cannot be assigned to the fourth platoon.

That young man was a cook in the army, a talent urgently needed in the camp, and likewise cannot be assigned to the fourth platoon.

The next young man was a dic in the army and is also a talent. Considering that Dr. Liang and Nurse Han cannot manage without an assistant, he is directly assigned to the sanitation and epidemic prevention platoon...

As for the selection of the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader, these positions are respectively held by military transfer officials from the Port Supervision Bureau and the Developnt Zone Managent Committee.

Having determined the structure and personnel of the next company, just as they were ready to discuss the platoon placents and personnel for the second company, Hao Qiusheng suddenly said, "Commander, Instructor, there’s one more thing."

"What is it?"

"We will definitely need to wear safety helts during construction, but we are reserve forces, wearing camouflage uniforms with military ranks on our shoulders and badges on our arms. If we wear a safety helt, wouldn’t it look a bit out of place?"

"Indeed, it might."

Han Yu nodded thoughtfully, glanced around at everyone, and said, "Safety is no small matter. Whatever we do, safety cos first. We must wear safety helts for construction work on the shore, just as we wear them for operations on the ships."

Hao Qiusheng chuckled and said, "The problem is wearing a safety helt looks a bit odd."

Even though it was a reserve unit being ford, in Old Liu’s mind, the Linghai Reserve Camp was like an active-duty unit. He genuinely believed military appearance was important, and couldn’t help but ask, "What should we do then?"

Han Yu turned to look at Yang Jianbo: "Instructor, can we apply to the regint to distribute a steel helt to each of us?"

ntioning helts sparked Xiao Yu’s interest, and with a smile, he raised his hand and said, "Instructor, we’re about to wear camouflage uniforms, and green steel helts don’t look good. Can we each get a steel helt like those of the Hong Kong Garrison, the camouflage ones, with a military emblem on top to match the uniforms perfectly?"

"The helts of the Hong Kong Garrison are quite nice, much better looking than the GK80," Dong Maosheng couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing everyone eagerly looking at him, Yang Jianbo felt quite awkward and said helplessly, "Everyone, the Hong Kong Garrison doesn’t wear steel helts. They wear bulletproof helts made of a new material, called ’Kevlar’. They are indeed very elegant, offering a large protective area, being lightweight, and having strong practicality.

They are said to feature an advanced suspension system, making size adjustnt convenient and providing stable, comfortable wear. But due to the high cost of new materials, such bulletproof helts are very expensive and cannot be widely equipped in the army. At present, it seems they are only supplied to the Hong Kong Garrison and so special forces."

Nowadays, camouflage uniforms are everywhere, whereas they used to be quite in demand.

Unexpectedly, helts like those of the Hong Kong Garrison are the sa, only provided to a few select units.

Han Yu asked softly, "Can’t we get them?"

"We can’t get them, and even if we could, each helt would cost thousands at the very least, which we can’t afford."

"Thousands!"

"New equipnt is very expensive."

Afraid the others wouldn’t believe it, Yang Jianbo smiled wryly and said, "You are all old platoon leaders, and I assu many of you have worn GK80 helts. Although GK80 helts aren’t very aesthetically pleasing, they’re made of 232 bulletproof steel and are not cheap either."

Gan Xiangpeng from the Port Authority, who worked as an assistant in the military supply office, smiled and added, "Commander, we often say that nothing on the ship is cheap, and the sa goes for the equipnt of the military."

Unable to afford even helts, what kind of army is this...

Feeling sowhat frustrated, Han Yu was silent for a mont and then said, "Since purchasing military helts is too expensive, we’ll solve this problem ourselves."

"How will we solve it?"

"There happens to be an injection molding factory in our developnt zone that specializes in manufacturing construction site safety helts and motorcycle helts. Tomorrow, I’ll approach the factory’s person in charge and ask if they can help us create a mold and produce four hundred safety helts inspired by the appearance of the Hong Kong Garrison’s bulletproof helts."

Han Yu smiled, then turned to Xiao Yu and said, "It’s simple to have camouflage ones. Just cover the safety helts with a camouflage fabric cover. Comrade Liang Xiaoyu, the production and processing of the camouflage helt covers will be entrusted to you. Once the safety helts are produced, take two of them to ’Huii Clothing’ and ask President Lin and President Liu for help with processing them."

Xiao Yu, more than anyone, wanted to wear a helt like those of the Hong Kong Garrison. Realizing that it only required buying so camouflage fabric and processing it, and knowing that the safety helt was small and wouldn’t require much fabric nor a complicated tailoring process like making clothes, he readily agreed, "No problem, I’ll take care of this task."

"Great, let’s move on to the next topic. Please have Second Company Commander Ma Jintao introduce the situation of the second company."

"Yes!"

Besides being a discharged soldier, Ma Jintao also has extensive experience in mariti law enforcent and rescue. More importantly, the Water Police Station sponsored ten thousand yuan to the camp, so he is the only possible commander for the Second Company, specifically responsible for mariti search and rescue.

He first stood up, saluted everyone, briefly introduced himself, and then began talking eloquently about the situation of the second company.

"Our company originally planned to set up two rescue platoons with assault boats, which are the fifth and sixth platoons. We were equipped with ten rubber assault boats and ten fiberglass assault boats. Later, drawing from the experience of supporting the transfer of stranded citizens in Zhangjia Port last year, the commander and instructor agreed to set up three rescue platoons with assault boats, equipped with fifteen motorized rubber boats and fifteen non-motorized fiberglass boats."
