Inside the Chijun base, it was a busy scene at the moment. A large number of officers responsible for logistics were shuttling back and forth in the office area.
At the dinner table, Zhao Weihu glanced at the lame middle-aged man who was bringing him some pickles, and asked very succinctly: "Old Xiao, are you really not going to stay here anymore?"
The lame middle-aged man thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and replied: "Forget it, I won't stay. This No. 1 document has clearly stated that workers who fail to comply with the recall order within the time limit will be deemed to have automatically given up their naturalization in Longcheng or given up."
There is no chance to apply for Longcheng household registration in the future, and it will easily affect the next generation. My child is sick and will have to go to school in the future, so let’s go back...!"
Zhao Weihu listened to the other party's answer without any reservations: "Okay, go back and work hard, and marry another one if you have the chance."
"Yeah." The lame middle-aged man nodded with a smile.
The two had just exchanged a few words when a young man with the rank of captain walked in. After saluting, he shouted: "Commander, this is the appropriation document submitted by the Ministry of Military Finance."
Zhao Weihu took the document, glanced at the numbers above, and signed his name in the lower right corner. "You have verbally informed the finance department that in the future, as long as it involves the purchase of materials, the green light will be given, but
The accounts must be correct, and whoever dares to take bribes at this time will definitely be shot...!"
Seeing that Zhao Weihu was busy again, the lame middle-aged man immediately stood up and said, "Commander, I'm leaving then."
There was no emotion on Zhao Weihu's face, and he just nodded slightly at him: "Go ahead, come back if you don't get used to it, and I'll let you work in the headquarters kitchen."
"Okay." The lame middle-aged man nodded heavily, turned around and left the office.
Zhao Weihu drank most of the bowl of porridge in two gulps and wiped his mouth randomly: "Call the guards, let's go to the military headquarters for a meeting."
Two minutes later, Zhao Weihu left the camp in a military vehicle.
…
The lame middle-aged man named Xiao Yucheng was one of the first batch of Chinese workers to come to Sinalo to support infrastructure construction thirteen years ago in response to the call of the Longcheng government.
During that period, the Mexican-African regime, which had just been recognized by the coalition government, was in an extremely difficult moment. As the temperature warmed and resources recovered, a large number of regimes wanted to seize this land. Various bandits, private armed forces, political party armed forces, and rebels emerged one after another.
The army was outnumbered. They united together to fight against the Mexican non-official army and beat the latter to retreat, which was quite similar to the melee between the warlords of the Republic of China.
At that time, Dragon City had just completed its infrastructure construction and was in a very weak stage of development. In order to ensure the security of the border and stabilize the surrounding neighbors, the district government chose to support the Mofei regime, not only providing materials, money, and guns.
Artillery and ammunition, and many workers were sent into Sinalo, Casaro and other areas to help them build infrastructure, build ports, build military airports, build roads, build military factories and other infrastructure to sustain the war.
In those years, many white people from District 1, such as engineers and technical workers, were sent to the African area. However, compared with the number of Chinese workers, they were only a small group of less than 10,000 people.
Among the assigned workers, 90% of the lower-level workers are Chinese, and these people are all from Longcheng.
At that time, some leaders and officials of the Longcheng government were still very powerful. After all, they had experienced the war for unification, and some of them were bloody and dignified, so they rejected the decree at first. But the First District Government
In order to appease them, Longcheng was promised to allocate 3 billion in cash for urban development.
When Dragon City was first built, money and funds were needed everywhere, so the mayor of Dragon City at the time said: "There is really no other way, so let's use the efforts of a small number of people to exchange for the stability of the majority of people."
In this way, nearly 80,000 low-level workers were sent to the Mofei area. In order to increase everyone's enthusiasm, the Longcheng government also made many promises to the workers. For example, they would be assigned houses before leaving, and their wages would be higher than those in Longcheng.
The level of ordinary workers in the city, etc.
The most attractive one is that for those at the bottom of society who have not been naturalized in Longcheng, the Political Auxiliary Council will provide special channels for them to apply for naturalization without any obstacles when the workers return from their missions.
This article actually attracted a lot of people, because at that time, many Chinese heard that this place was developing rapidly and came here to join their relatives. They did not have military status, and they were not members of the army during the Great Escape, so they applied for
The screening process for household registration is very cumbersome. There are many people who have lived here for a year or two but have not been able to get naturalized and are waiting in line.
If you want to take root, you must solve the household registration problem. Therefore, many people come to the Mofei area to work as laborers for high benefits and high wages, and Xiao Yucheng is one of them. He had just gotten married at that time, and he and his little girl
My wife came with me.
But what Xiao Yucheng didn't expect was that the conditions in the Mofei area were not only very difficult, but most of the aboriginal people here had very low moral character. They were robbing, stealing, and selling calves everywhere. Not only were the living conditions dangerous,
, and it’s very exclusive here.
Therefore, in the first two years, Xiao Yucheng wanted to apply to return to Longcheng several times, but because the salary was indeed very generous, he finally endured it. After all, he had to survive, save money, and wait.
Divide houses.
In this way, he worked for more than six years, saved some money, and gave birth to a boy with his young wife. However, during that period, the situation of the Mexican and African governments was still not very good, and wars in various regions continued to escalate. So what happened to these workers?
The situation is also dangerous. Sometimes when I am doing work, I have to suddenly move away.
During a rebel counterattack, Xiao Yucheng and his wife were working at the port. Several artillery shells were fired at her, and his wife fell among the ruins of the semi-finished product.
In fact, there are many workers who died tragically like this. Just like the batches of workers from the Bangzi ethnic group who were sent abroad before the 19th century, they did the most dangerous work and could be deprived of their lives at any time. The only difference is,
Bangzi was doing it for the nation and the country, but Xiao Yucheng and the others didn't know who they were doing it for, and many people lost their lives in confusion.
After his wife's death, Xiao Yucheng was depressed for a long time, and the leadership of the Longcheng government also changed twice. Many of the conditions originally promised to the workers were repeatedly pushed and failed to materialize. In addition, the workers' wages were all provided by Mo
It was paid to non-official soldiers, and they had no money at that time, so the laborers' income gradually decreased.
At this time, an extremely disgusting situation happened. The workers felt that the wages were low and wanted to run back to Longcheng. But if they left alone, it would be equivalent to not fulfilling the contract. The welfare benefits they had won before, the political assistant would naturally
Therefore, it will not be cashed out, including houses, household registration and so on.
As a result, many people had to stay here to continue working and were unable to return to their hometowns. However, during that period, the Mexican government and various rebel forces were fighting in a stalemate, and the territory under their command frequently changed hands. For example, sometimes, a road had just
After the construction was completed, the area was captured. They were doing it for others. Therefore, when the Mexican army was unable to control the situation for a long time, they were too lazy to carry out large-scale infrastructure recovery and only did what was necessary.
There is less and less infrastructure work, and the wages of workers have become even more pitiful. Therefore, many people have no choice but to invest in materials and start small businesses here to make some "war wealth."
Because Xiao Yucheng had a child, he didn't think about evacuating supplies at first, because he had to travel frequently to war-torn areas, and it was easy for him to accidentally lose his life. So he found a fellow villager and asked someone to defect to Zhao Weihu.
of Chijun, and got a job working in the kitchen.
At that time, Zhao Weihu had just joined the team, and the salary for his subordinates was not high. Fortunately, the logistics department was relatively safe, so Xiao Yucheng worked for more than two years.
Later, during a troop transfer, the logistics department was attacked by bandits. Xiao Yucheng was hiding in a car and was injured by a stray bullet in his right leg, which left him disabled.
He was lame and could no longer work in the army. So Xiao Yucheng, like others, dumped supplies, such as grain, cotton, ready-made clothes and other items in the safer areas of Sinalo. And because he once specialized in
He made a small stove for Zhao Weihu and had a certain relationship with Chi Jun, so he was not too worried about sales. He did a good job in the small business and saved some money.
…
With the issuance of Order No. 1 this time, the Longcheng government and the First District Supervision Committee issued a policy of choosing one of the two to workers. To put it simply, if you do not come back within the recall period, but stay in the local area, then
You are no longer your own person, and you will not be able to apply for naturalization in the future.
This order is very disgusting and unreasonable, because the upper-level government wants to impose trade sanctions on the Mexican and African governments across the board. They are afraid that these workers will choose to stay in the local area after being out for too long, and continue to secretly sell supplies, relying on their Chinese identity to follow
Dragon City set up a trade line under the table.
Furthermore, the workers were sent out by the district government at that time. This matter must be concluded, and the attitude must be expressed to "break up" with the Mexican regime. In this way, the workers must be recalled.
Therefore, workers like Xiao Yucheng have been outside for more than ten years. Most of them have families, businesses, wives and children. If they don't go back, their children's education, birth, old age, illness and death will be problems in the future, so they can only be
He was forced to give up everything he had accumulated here and return to the unfamiliar Dragon City.
However, Xiao Yucheng has not yet thought about what he will face when he goes back.?
…
Late at night, on the sofa of the Yu family, Kong Zhenghui was drinking tea and suddenly said to Su Tianyu: "Hey, you said You Yifan wants to start this business, can we help him find some customers?"
Su Tianyu raised his head and looked at him: "Are you talking about the Chi Army?"
"That's right!" Kong Zhenghui nodded: "Once supplies are controlled, the most uncomfortable thing is for armed forces like the Chi Army. They have no backers. Guns, ammunition, medical supplies, and daily necessities all rely on the military expenses they earn.
Buy it from Longcheng... Now that it’s all over the place, they’re in trouble. If we can help them get on the line, then You Yifan will see our sincerity, and we can also sell Chijun a favor, don’t you think?!”
"It makes sense." Su Tianyu nodded immediately: "You are indeed a master at inserting dicks into every opportunity!"
