The firearms warehouse of the Dengzhou Navy was built in the southeast corner of the camp.
Moreover, unlike when the general troops are stationed, they must abide by the rules of not building houses, building cities, or setting up strongholds.
Because the firearms logistics department was afraid of rain and humidity, a row of red brick courtyards was built directly on this vacant land.
This house with red brick walls and tiles stood out among the dirty tents. When soldiers passed by, they all glanced here subconsciously, their eyes full of envy.
This is because some of the houses in the courtyard are actually used to store transported firearms.
As for the remaining spare rooms, they were also idle. I heard that they were occupied by people from the firearms camp as residences. Living in this big house with a roof and walls was much more comfortable than sleeping in the hot and humid cowhide tents they slept in.
But envy was envy. Thinking of all the strict rules here, the soldiers sighed and left in a hurry to avoid being caught by the military judge, who would be whipped.
In the courtyard, the logistics manager of the firearms camp who came with the Dengzhou Navy was a middle-aged man named Xiao.
This man used to work in a firearms workshop in Qinling Mountains. Because he was diligent and conscientious in his work and had a sharp mind. In addition, the family behind him gave him a lot of strength. This allowed Lao Xiao to be released unexpectedly and successfully became this climber.
State Firearms Controller.
But don’t look at the fact that he, the Firearms Manager, doesn’t even have a grade record in the Ministry of Personnel! Just by being directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, you know how important this position is. This is Jian’s business in the emperor’s heart, how many people
No matter how hard you break your head, you won’t be able to grab this good job!
Lao Xiao himself also knew: As long as he does his job well and is remembered by the emperor, why should he worry about his future future?
However, imagination is beautiful.
But reality is cruel!
When Lao Xiao first came to Dengzhou, he was really serious about his work. He followed a group of subordinates and calculated the expenditure and loss of the firearms on hand accurately!
Even when faced with those unruly generals and generals, they were well-organized and adhered to principles.
You know, after those naval generals saw the power of firearms, they all drooled and wished they could add all the firearms to their own ranks!
Therefore, they harassed and threatened Lao Xiao, the manager in charge of distribution, in every possible way. The knives even hit Lao Xiao's desk!
But even so, Lao Xiao remained unselfish and unmoved at all!
What a joke, how many people who can be selected into a place like the Firearms Camp have no background and spine?
Those arrogant and domineering generals may be able to threaten others, but those who threaten the firearms camp? Sorry, we don't accept this!
In this way, after constant friction in the early stage, the generals later saw that Lao Xiao was really not stubborn, so they could only put down their posture and coax him with good words.
Even so, Lao Xiao won't open any convenient door for them, but at least he won't get in the way of their necks in the process.
I didn’t see Zhang Liang. General Zhang, after causing a lot of troubles and offending Lao Xiao, now doesn’t even have one or two firearms out!
So much so that these days, while everyone else is training in a decent way, he, General Zhang Liang, can only sit in the military camp and grow hair?
Lao Xiao was able to gain a foothold in the Dengzhou military camp by relying on his ability to resist hard and soft tactics.
He originally thought that such peaceful and orderly days would continue like this.
Unexpectedly, it would be today!
Lao Xiao has just received the supply of firearms given to him by the imperial court. Before he has finished counting them, they have been put into the warehouse!
Zhang Liang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, led a large group of people and forced their way into his firearms compound! Without saying a word, he snatched the boxes of firearms and ran away, not even giving Lao Xiao and the others time to react!
When the dumbfounded Lao Xiao came to his senses, he shouted and tried to stop them, but Zhang Liang had already drawn a knife in front of them with red eyes, threatening to make Lao Xiao's blood splash on the spot if they disagreed.
At this moment, Lao Xiao and the others were dumbfounded, and no one dared to move!
In fact, looking at those men who were like wolves and tigers, Lao Xiao already knew that with these few men under his command, even if he risked his life, it would not have any effect!
In this case, I recall that in the firearms workshop, Mr. Hou once said: Anyone who sees that something cannot be done and does it by force is a fool!
So Lao Xiao stopped in his tracks, pointed at Zhang Liang and others and yelled!
His voice was almost smoky as he cursed, Luo Shixin also rushed over with his people, and that was the end of it.
When they saw Luo Shixin coming, everyone in the firearms camp immediately grasped at straws, hoping that this young general could cure the crazy Zhang Liang.
Unexpectedly, although Luo Shixin had the intention to stop him, Zhang Liang was even more ruthless. He directly took out the fire certificate and threatened that anyone who dared to stop him would die together!
In this way, Luo Shixin had no choice but to watch Zhang Liang move away the newly arrived firearms and wipe out the inventory in the warehouse, leaving only a mess to them.
"Hey, just drinking water won't do the trick. Go and make some tea. It hurts my throat from shouting!"
In the firearms warehouse covered with countless footprints and broken wooden boxes, Manager Xiao was sitting on a slightly intact box, rubbing his throat and giving instructions to his men who were sorting out the losses.
In fact, there is no need to liquidate this loss. Now, the entire warehouse is empty! Naturally, everything on the account is evened out.
However, facing such a good opportunity to settle the account, the subordinate looked like a dead mother.
He was holding the account book in a daze when he suddenly heard that Steward Xiao was still thinking about drinking tea at this time, and the expression on his face suddenly became more exciting. He thought to himself that Steward Xiao had been hit too hard and had given up on himself?
"Why are you still standing there! Go quickly!" Seeing that his subordinates were stunned and did not move, Manager Xiao couldn't help but shouted again with some displeasure: "Remember to get some more food. It's been a long time and I'm already hungry!"
"Well……"
At this time, the subordinate finally came to his senses, but he did not follow Steward Xiao's instructions to make tea. Instead, he plucked up the courage, put down his account book, and reached over to touch Steward Xiao's forehead.
"Crack!"
A crisp slapping sound echoed back and forth in the empty warehouse. Manager Xiao glared at the subordinate who was rubbing his wrists with a look of pain on his face and shouted sternly: "What are you going to do? I'm not dead yet!"
"Uh..." The corner of the man's mouth twitched a few times, thinking, I know you're not dead, isn't this because I'm afraid you'll go crazy first?
However, he was slapped so hard that he was completely woken up.
Although the firearms were robbed this time, it was a huge disaster! But if the sky fell, wouldn't there be tall people to hold it up?
I'm just a soldier, why do I worry so much? Don't I feel anxious when I don't see the boss?
Thinking of this, his subordinates immediately put their minds away and quickly walked out of the warehouse and rushed to the leader's position.
