Chapter 598 Spring Holiday

dong dong dong~

"report!"

"Enter!"

"Commander, the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district reports that all troops have already set out and are heading to the designated combat area!"

"It's started, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan stood up from his chair and paced to the military map of Yucheng that had just been hung up yesterday.

Most military maps are top secret and cannot be obtained by common means. This one was specially copied and sent by the 77th Legion.

"Jiaping, Xihu, Ciyun, and Yongxing, these four towns are the key attack targets planned by the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district, right?"

Gu Chengyuan's map had already been marked with the same markings as Lu Chong's, so even though he was thousands of miles away, Gu Chengyuan could clearly see the general battlefield situation of the Jiangjin District recovery war.

"Yes chief!"

"Do you need to see the live broadcast? The multimedia conference room has been connected!"

The signal relay station from the night market to Zhanjiang District has now been fully established.

In the past, the night market and Chongyi gathering place were connected by relay stations along the highway. However, since the railway was opened, signal relay stations are now set up along the railway trunk line.

This has many benefits. One is that signal relay stations can be set up along the railway, which can not only protect the relay equipment but also maintain the railway line at the same time, saving manpower and resource investment.

The second is that it facilitates supply, and there is no need for a special transport fleet to carry out supply along the way.

All you have to do is throw the packaged supplies out when the train passes by, and the soldiers at the relay stations along the way will calculate the time to pick them up. The train doesn't even have to stop, which is very efficient.

The two relay maintenance companies of the former Po Lu Corps have now been reorganized into the railway force. Compared with their previous task of only maintaining signal relay stations, they now have an additional mission of armed patrol along the railway.

At the same time, individual equipment has become more advanced. Each station is equipped with a Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle and a Lynx all-terrain vehicle weapon platform equipped with a 25mm machine gun.

After all, they are carrying out a field mission. The situation in the wild is complicated and mutant creatures are active frequently. If they are not equipped with powerful firepower, these signal maintenance teams will really become regular feed for the mutant creatures.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Hearing Zhou Guihong's question, Gu Chengyuan's eyes showed excitement. Since he was promoted to brigade commander, he rarely went to places that were even slightly risky, let alone the battlefield.

"Before, due to the limited signal relay technology, I only heard a little bit of the battle to retake the Creek District. This time, I have to watch carefully!"

As a man, there is no man who doesn’t like to watch war movies!

"correct!"

Speaking of war films, Gu Chengyuan suddenly had an idea!

"Guihong, please communicate with the Standing Committee of Ye Province later and ask them to borrow some professional talents from their Propaganda Department to help with video editing and post-processing!"

"The survivors in our various gathering places are very short of spiritual and cultural life because of the end of the world. Isn't the current battle to retake Jiangjin District the best material?"

"Through drone reconnaissance and first-person camera work, it is entirely possible to edit a realistic apocalyptic disaster film!"

"While entertaining the public, it also has a strong educational significance, to let them know that their current stable life is not something that fell from the sky and is not something that can be taken for granted!"

"The end of the world is not far away, it is right beside us!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Guihong immediately showed an expression of admiration:

"Commander, you have a brilliant idea. If it weren't for you, I would never have thought of such a good idea even if you killed me!"

Having been a leader for so long, Gu Chengyuan had long been immune to Zhou Guihong's flattery. He didn't care and continued:

"I calculated that the Chinese New Year is only half a month away. If there is enough time, we can also make a New Year's film to imitate the pre-apocalyptic era!"

"Just think of it as a New Year's gift from the army to the survivors! We have recaptured another zombie-occupied area. It should be very encouraging for everyone to see this!"

"They have indeed worked hard over the past six months. The smooth progress of the army's frontline is also inseparable from the logistical support they work hard every day!"

Speaking of the Chinese New Year, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but sigh. It has been half a year since civilization and order collapsed...

"Send a letter to the Standing Committee of the Night Province, requiring all gathering places in the province to have three days off for the Spring Festival. A rotation system will be adopted to ensure that every survivor can rest for a day!"

"During the Spring Festival holiday, leadership organs at all levels must be strictly organized, and the internal security garrison troops and militia organizations must enter the first-level combat readiness state to respond to possible emergencies at any time. Don't let a happy event turn into a funeral!"

"Also, in terms of material support, didn't Jia Sanniu from Ye'an New District send a message this morning saying that a large granary with a storage capacity of 55 tons of grain was discovered on the south side of Huchao Railway Station in Ye'an New District?"

"Yes, Chief. That granary is called Southwest Grain City. It is understood to be the largest granary in Ye Province!" Zhou Guihong couldn't help but sound excited when she mentioned this.

“As long as there is grain in the barn, there is no need to worry.” This sentence will never be out of date!

55 tons of food is enough to feed 400 million people for a year!

Even if we exclude some of the losses caused by food spoilage, it is still an astronomical figure!

It is not a problem at all to support the settlement under Gu Chengyuan’s jurisdiction for one to two years!

And by the time a year or two has passed, with the current rate of development, food self-sufficiency will most likely have been restored!

This transition is very comfortable!

"Since we have so much food, let's not be too stingy. During the Spring Festival, we will distribute eight times the usual amount of food for eight consecutive days so that all the survivors can have a prosperous New Year!"

"There are also canned fruits, pork, beef and mutton, etc. We have recovered so many densely populated areas in the past few battles, and we have also recovered a lot of supermarkets and logistics warehouses. Taking advantage of this New Year, we will distribute them in small quantities and evenly to everyone to try!"

"There are also daily necessities and general merchandise, such as clothes, toiletries, and even skin care products, etc. These can also be given to everyone as welfare!"

"As for the specific distribution standards, let the Night Province Standing Committee study and discuss a standard!"

Clearance sale! Clearance sale! New Year clearance sale!

After six months of continuous battles, the provincial military district’s material warehouses have been expanded again and again and are about to burst!

But with the current number of survivors, their spending power cannot be as fast as that of the troops outside.

Therefore, there was a backlog of supplies, which caused Gu Chengyuan a headache!

Many things have a shelf life. If they are not used after the expiration date, it will be a waste. If they are distributed directly, it will destroy the existing circulation structure. The establishment of a welfare system will be unsustainable in the future. After all, these can only be regarded as windfall gains, not actual productivity.

Therefore, the Spring Festival became a good excuse. Given the importance of the Spring Festival to the people of Zhou, no one would think there was anything wrong with any benefit, no matter how big it was.

During the Chinese New Year, of course we have to eat and drink well!

It can be predicted that the first Spring Festival after the end of the world will be the most festive one for many survivors in their lives!

...

"Commander, you are kind and righteous!" Zhou Guihong also praised repeatedly for this.

"besides..."

At this point, Gu Chengyuan suddenly changed the subject and his tone became sharp:

"Tell Lu Shengfu from the Discipline Inspection Department to keep a close eye on the supply of materials for the Spring Festival. I don't want anything to happen during the Spring Festival that will affect unity!"

"Don't force me to kill someone on this happiest day!"

"Yes!"

When it comes to the issue of corruption, Zhou Guihong's expression instantly became serious.

This has nothing to do with the system or culture. The only thing it has to do with is human nature and the inherent greed of human nature.

As long as humans are not completely extinct, corruption will always exist.

The difference between different countries is that some have corruption written into the criminal law and corrupt officials will go to jail, while others have corruption written into the system and everyone is accustomed to it.

If corruption is not illegal, then there will be no corrupt officials, right?

Describing corruption and bribery as reasonable political donations, it has to be said that this is another great victory for advanced and civilized rule of man!

A truly civilized society can indeed completely eliminate corruption by definition!
