Seeing that Lao Fang was thinking quite clearly, Lin Cheng couldn't help but glance at him in surprise, "Brother, what did you do before? Your conversation doesn't sound like ordinary people?"
But Lao Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Forget it... Forget about the past! I'm just a little guy working in the First Fleet to earn a living. I can't hold on, and I won't starve to death! If you are really right
If you are interested in the black market, you can come here to see me tomorrow afternoon. Although we have not known each other for a long time, I think you are quite destined to be my brother, so I will meet you and go in to have a look!"
"Is it settled then?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng also felt a little excited. Although he could say everything now, the more information he had, the more beneficial it would be for his future actions. Therefore, he would know all the secrets related to this base.
Want to master them all!
"That's necessary! Brother, although I don't have much ability, I'm not the one who goes back on my word! By the way, didn't you just say you wanted to find the registration office of the First Fleet? I happened to know someone at the registration office, so I just stopped by.
Let’s take you there!”
"Yo? Did I accidentally meet the God of Fortune?"
Two things were solved in the blink of an eye. Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel surprised. He originally just wanted to recruit someone to inquire about the situation of the First Fleet, but he never thought that this fishmonger he found at random was actually quite well-connected.
, so that he couldn't believe it. When did his luck become so good?
Seeing Lin Cheng's expression of surprise, Lao Fang waved his hand nonchalantly, "Pull him down! If I were really lucky, how could I have gotten to this point? It would be better to say that we two brothers are destined to meet each other by chance!"
"All right……"
Seeing this, Lin Cheng said no more, "But you have to keep an eye on that fish for me. I also want to take it back to replenish my family's health."
"Oh...yes, yes!"
Hearing this, Lao Fang then remembered that his saury had been bought by Lin Cheng, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. Don't worry, Lao Fang is good at raising fish. I will finish the report later."
Once you get the name, I’ll ride my bike to deliver it to you personally!”
After that, the two stopped talking nonsense, locked the door and walked towards the First Fleet again.
Returning to the bustling street before, Lin Cheng had no intention of looking around anymore. It was already past four in the afternoon. He promised Aunt Qin that he would go back before dark, and You Shan had already gone out to investigate on her own.
After a whole day of news, he also wanted to hear if the girl had found any useful information.
Following Lao Fang, Lin Cheng and the two first went to the exchange office and exchanged five cartons of cigarettes for nearly 150,000 blue ocean tickets. Of course, such a huge amount of blue ocean tickets would definitely be inconvenient to carry around, and the exchange office was already used to this.
In this case, I directly helped Lin Cheng get a 'passbook' with the words "Blue Ocean" printed on it on the spot, and briefly introduced to him where he could exchange the passbook for Blue Ocean tickets.
Then, Lin Cheng, who had transformed from a poor man into a wealthy man in a blink of an eye, followed Lao Fang and continued walking deeper into the street.
After a while, the two finally walked out of the crooked streets and arrived in front of a two-story white building next to the seaside. Behind the building was the blue bay, and a group of magnificent battleships were moored quietly on the shore.
From time to time, there are figures walking up above. It seems that it is not the time to go to sea. These people should be repairing the warship.
"Bang bang bang..."
After gently knocking on the door a few times, Lao Fang opened the door and walked in with Lin Cheng without waiting for anyone to respond.
"Yo? Why is it you, Lao Fang?"
As soon as he approached the room, a man wearing black-rimmed glasses and appearing to be about thirty years old walked out. When he saw Lao Fang, he was suddenly startled and asked.
Hearing this, Lao Fang casually pointed to Lin Cheng behind him and introduced: "This is a brother I just met. He is very capable and a very kind person! He has always wanted to work in our First Fleet. I have no choice but to do it."
Can you bring him over to have a look..."
"real?!"
Hearing Lao Fang's explanation, the man with the eyes suddenly became happy and quickly called the two of them to sit down. Then he hurriedly made two cups of hot tea and brought them over, "Come on, buddy, drink a cup of water to moisten your throat first. I'll do it right away."
I’m going to find a registration form for you, and you can just fill it out in a while!”
After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked into a nearby room.
Seeing the bespectacled man's attitude as if he had found a treasure, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel very strange, and asked Lao Fang with a puzzled face: "He is..."
"Weird, isn't it?"
Seeing Lin Cheng looking at him with a puzzled face, Lao Fang couldn't help but sigh softly, "Although the First Fleet sounds very beautiful, since recently, there have been fewer and fewer people signing up.
Up to now, it is already very good to have three or four new people sign up a day, and only a handful of them can stay in the end..."
At this point, Lao Fang did not wait for Lin Cheng to ask questions, then continued: "As for the reason... it is very simple. Compared with other tasks in the base, the casualty rate of the First Fleet is too high! Although the fleet has tried its best to prevent
There are casualties, but the sea is no better than land after all, and you will inevitably encounter various accidents every time you go to sea!"
"In the beginning, before the Blue Sea Base developed to the level of prosperity it is now, the First Fleet has always been everyone's first choice for work, because joining the fleet means that you can have enough to eat and drink, and you can even support your family!
But now that’s no longer possible. There are too many safe jobs that can support themselves and their families. Who would risk their lives to join the First Fleet? Although the upper management has realized this and begun to increase the income and benefits of fleet members,
It’s useless, after all, this is the end of the world, and there is nothing more valuable than living..."
After hearing Lao Fang's explanation, Lin Cheng finally understood why the registration office was empty, but he still didn't quite understand. "In this case, can the base forcefully recruit soldiers? After all, these people have to live off the base, and they don't dare to do anything.
Reject?"
"impossible……"
At this time, the man with glasses had already walked out of the room with a brand new form. After hearing Lin Cheng's doubts, he explained to him: "You may not know well, but the Blue Sea Base is different from other military regions. It can
The people who come here basically have some background, and today's Blue Ocean Base is supported by these backgrounds! If the army is forcibly recruited, it will easily cause large-scale unrest, and the current relatively calm situation will disappear instantly.
It will be broken, which is also the situation those senior officials least want to see!"
Hearing the bespectacled man's words, Lin Cheng couldn't help but frowned, "But if you don't do anything because you are worried about unrest, the number of fresh blood in the First Fleet will only become less and less. In the end, these senior leaders may have to face more than just...
If there is turmoil, I am afraid that we will face the problem of starvation for the whole people!"
