Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 8 The Dilemma of the Logistics Department

  Thirty-two days have passed since the Yellow River entered the country. Logically speaking, the system should be unlocked by now.

 But whenever he calls up the system, the gray interface always gives him a slap in the head.

 After experiencing the ambush battle, he had not had a good sleep for a long time.

I often dream about my comrades who died tragically and wake up screaming in the middle of the night.

 As a former modern person, Huang He knew that this was postwar stress syndrome. But this will not scare him, it will only make him want to do something for the base.

 Today is the day Huang He is discharged from the hospital.

Dean Liu could no longer stand him asking when he could leave the headquarters hospital every day. Another reason why the stubborn old man agreed to let him leave was because the friction between the army and the enemy had intensified recently.

Each unit in the area will fight bandits, puppet troops, and devils from time to time according to the instructions from their superiors.

 The purpose is to protect the people, seize more strategic places, and destroy the Japanese deployment in Shanxi.

 During this process, the casualties of the soldiers have been high, and now there are not enough beds.

 The lightly wounded and the severely wounded who had recovered to a certain extent had to be discharged from the hospital to make room.

While the little nurse was reluctant to say goodbye, guard Xiao Zhang sent him to the logistics department.

Although Huang He is a high-end talent engaged in research, the current scientific research environment in the base area is indeed very primitive as Makarov said.

And the main reason why Zhang Wanhe called Huang He back was because he valued his connections and wanted to obtain what the base area needed through many channels.

 After arriving at the logistics department, Huang He took the initiative to choose a room very close to the work area.

He didn't want to affect others' rest because of his post-war stress syndrome. No one lived here except him.

 Zhang Wanhe did not come to see him that day.

 When Huang He entered the logistics department, he found that the working atmosphere here was very good and the comrades were also very busy.

 His fellow countryman should have a lot of things to deal with as the leader here.

 After decorating the room, he fell into a deep sleep.

 The next morning, the rooster's crow woke him up. Huang He held his forehead and climbed up from the fire bed with difficulty. He had another nightmare yesterday.

Before he could wash up, the guard's voice came from outside the door.

 “Good morning, Minister Zhang!”

 Zhang Wanhe nodded to the guard and was about to ask Huang He in the room if he was up when he heard a rustling sound in the room.

After knowing that the people inside were awake, he pushed the door open and went in. After entering, he saw Huang He with heavy dark circles under his eyes and not in good spirits.

 Zhang Wanhe sat on the edge of the fire bed and said with concern:

"Did you have a nightmare again? It's been a hard journey for you. I'm really grateful that you gave up your superior environment and came to the base."

"I heard about the ambush battle. Although some comrades died on the way back to cover you, we will definitely avenge them."

 Zhang Wanhe placed breakfast in front of Huang He, and the two of them, who had not seen each other for a long time, chatted for a long time while eating. There are stories about the past in the Dabie Mountains, as well as the current situation and future of the base area.

After the two of them finished breakfast, Zhang Wanhe adjusted his expression and said formally:

“On behalf of the Eighth Route Army Logistics Department, I welcome you to join us! You understand why I asked you to come back. Given our relationship, I won’t say more polite words.

"From today on, you will be a member of our logistics department. Your main job is to be responsible for procurement and help me with some daily affairs. The ultimate goal is to promote the development of the base area."       "Our base area did not have a dedicated procurement department before, and procurement matters are huge. Each department is partly self-reliant.”

"You can be said to be the only one in the current procurement department, and the organization cannot give you any financial support. Our Eighth Route Army is really too poor, and limited resources must be used wisely."

“You must have met Lao Liu from the headquarters hospital. He is scolding me every day now, saying that there are too many injured people and not enough medicine. Now a large part of our expenditure is on the purchase of medicine and treatment equipment.”

 “Your merits are irreplaceable, and everything you do will be remembered by everyone.”

Zhang Wanhe said with some embarrassment, after all, it would be unfair to Huang He to call people back all the way and let the boss go.

 But Huang He had no discomfort in his heart. As a traveler, he dreamed of helping his predecessors during World War II.

 Even if it just allows them to eat better, Huanghe is willing to give everything he has.

 What’s more, he also has a system.

If the system and the time-traveling thing weren't too unbelievable, Huang He wouldn't even mind telling the truth to the fierce men from the sky. After all, they are people who can be completely trusted.

Huang He took the appointment letter and put it away carefully.

 Whether it is this life or the previous life, this is the first time for him to do this type of work.

He had just joined the job and was still a little out of shape. Before Zhang Wanhe left, he quickly asked, "Then what should I do now?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wanhe complained loudly:

“Hey, you have also seen the situation of our troops. Although it is still autumn, in terms of our work efficiency, we must start preparing for the winter clothing issue of the entire army and division.”

"To be honest, I, the logistics minister, am really useless, whether it is purchasing or asking for help. The quantities of cotton, cotton fabrics and yarn are far from enough."

"The top priority now is to solve the problem of dressing the soldiers in two months. This matter cannot delay the training of the troops and affect the combat effectiveness of the troops."

 Zhang Wanhe spread his hands towards the Yellow River with a grimace.

"Then I'll leave first. There's still too much work to be done in the logistics department. I know you, Lu Ziye, need your help to figure this out."

“Cotton, cotton fabric, yarn.” Huang He kept repeating these things in his mouth.

 At this time, the system suddenly popped up in his mind. There is the familiar background sound again, but the difference is that all functions are available, and the colorful interface replaces the lifeless gray.

The sound of the system is just right.

“It is detected that the host has arrived at the logistics department of the base area, and the Yonghu system is awakened to fully unlock it.”

“Host, please familiarize yourself with the basic operations of this system as soon as possible and learn and master the core usage. Thousands of compatriots on the motherland are still waiting for your rescue.”

“I am the embodiment of hundreds of millions of compatriots who are trying to awaken the brave tiger. This is the bright sword world you are familiar with, and I will help you save the people who are still struggling in the war.”

 Huang He couldn't hold back his excitement. He touched his wound in excitement and grinned in pain.

 After calming down, he looked at the decision-making system and fell into deep thought.

 At present, the army is short of too many supplies. The top priority is to use the civilian factories in the system to trade in exchange for the needed things.

 At present, the number of military and civilian workers in the system is 0, so a decision is first needed to unlock some civilian factories.

You are the one:

  “Aid from all over the world”

   The BGM is Wuhan Battle. There should be no one who doesn’t know the origin of the system.
