Chapter 622 Commander Yang's Request 1
Commander Yang laughed and said, "Happy New Year, Xiaoyu, Happy New Year, Xiaojiang, and Happy New Year, Consultant Lin."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Commander Yang, and Happy New Year, Political Commissar Qiao."
After a brief greeting, everyone walked into the living room together. Lin Yu glanced around casually. The living room was decorated very simply. Apart from a coffee table, there was a long sofa and two single sofas, with a few chairs next to it. There were no decorations on the walls, just simple white walls. In his heart, he still admired the hard-working and simple style of these revolutionary predecessors, but he did not want to live the life of an ascetic monk. After all, he was just practicing and experiencing the world.
As for "coincidentally" meeting Political Commissar Qiao at Commander Yang's house today, Lin Yu was of course aware that the two were definitely waiting for him. It was obvious that Commander Yang and Political Commissar Qiao had something to ask for, and it was most likely related to the "Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate". The reason why he did not think about supplies was mainly because although there were signs of tight supply and demand in the country, the Beijing Military Region was the imperial guard guarding the capital. Even if the supply was tight, there would be no shortage of supplies here at present.
Lin Yu knew very well that it was no secret at all that he had entrusted his old unit to provide assistance to those retired and transferred cadres and soldiers, as well as the families of revolutionary martyrs who died on the battlefield of Northern Korea. He believed that senior generals like Commander Yang and Political Commissar Qiao must have known about it long ago, but Zhou Tian had already informed the two leaders about this matter. After all, Lin Yu took out a large amount of funds and materials to assist his comrades in the former army, but he did not come forward directly. All of them were handed over to the old unit. Therefore, there was no such thing as buying people's hearts. Although it is conceivable that some people will definitely be dissatisfied, for example, the General Logistics Department once tried to sound out Lin Yu's opinion and wanted to hand the matter over to them, but Lin Yu simply ignored it.
Anyway, Lin Yu also knew that due to the matter of "Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate", his relationship with the General Logistics Department was very tense, but he did not take it to heart, and was not worried that the other party would do anything tricky, because he had the absolute strength to overturn the table.
At this time, two old ladies in their fifties and sixties, both dressed in Lenin suits, walked into the living room from the back. Su Yu and Jiang Sufen hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
After the introduction, Lin Yu also learned that these two were the wives of Commander Yang and Political Commissar Qiao.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two old ladies took Su Yu and Jiang Sufen to the back room. At this time, only Commander Yang, Political Commissar Qiao, and Lin Yu were in the living room. Secretary Zhao poured tea for the three leaders and then left the living room.
Lin Yu sat on the sofa with a smile on his face, smoking quietly. Commander Yang and Political Commissar Qiao looked at each other and broke the silence: "Advisor Lin, I also learned from Comrade Jiang Sufen that you would accompany Xiaoyu to visit here today, so I specially invited Political Commissar Qiao to come here. I mainly want to discuss with you the distribution of Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate."
Lin Yu flicked the ash lightly, still with a calm smile on his face: "Commander Yang, Political Commissar Qiao, I wonder what you two mean? Since we have Xiaoyu's relationship, there is no need for us to beat around the bush. If you have any ideas, just say it directly."
Commander Yang took a puff of his cigarette before continuing, "The superiors allocated 120 portions of Guben Peiyuan Tang Concentrate to our Beijing Military Region, which means that we are only allowed to form a squadron of special forces in our Beijing Military Region. We have all witnessed the soldiers who have been bathed in Guben Peiyuan Tang Concentrate and received special training. We have to admit that these soldiers are indeed the best soldiers at the moment. Not to mention being able to fight one against a hundred, they can at least easily deal with more than a dozen ordinary soldiers. Consultant Lin, you also know that our military region is responsible for guarding the capital, so we hope to be able to equip as many special forces as possible. However, according to the superiors, you only gave the military 500 portions of Guben Peiyuan Tang Concentrate this year, so we are thinking about whether we can give our Beijing Military Region an extra portion."
After saying this, Commander Yang and Political Commissar Qiao both stared at Lin Yu who was sitting on the sofa.
After a brief thought, Lin Yu said, "Commander Yang, Political Commissar Qiao, I'm sure you two should know that the soldiers who have taken the herbal bath for strengthening the body and nourishing the essence usually consume much more supplies than ordinary soldiers. After all, they have extraordinary strength, and they also need the body to supply more energy accordingly. I wonder if you two have noticed that the domestic supply is already tight?"
Commander Yang waved his hand indifferently: "For these soldiers who have undergone the medicinal bath, they will definitely need more supplies than ordinary soldiers. There are many ancient martial arts masters in our military region's special forces company. The daily consumption of these soldiers is more than twice that of ordinary soldiers, so we are also mentally prepared. However, compared to having a strong special forces team that can fight hard battles, these consumptions are not important. If you carefully calculate the economic accounts, it is actually a profit. You know, even if the special forces that have undergone the medicinal bath can only fight one against ten, the increased material consumption is only about three times, so this account is appropriate no matter how you calculate it. As for the problem of tight supply, we really haven't paid attention to it, but with the important role of the Beijing Military Region, I believe that the General Logistics Department will not dare to withhold the supply of our troops."
Lin Yu also knew that Commander Yang was not exaggerating. In fact, if you carefully calculate the economic accounts, reducing the number of conventional troops and increasing the number of special forces will definitely have more advantages than disadvantages. However, the higher-ups also have their own concerns. The most important one is that there are more than two million main forces in the country now. Once the number of special forces is increased, large-scale disarmament of ordinary troops will be necessary. However, there is currently limited staff shortage in domestic industrial and mining enterprises and institutions, and there is really no way to accommodate too many retired and transferred soldiers. In addition, there may still be some people who have doubts about the efficacy of Guben Peiyuan Decoction and want to see the long-term effects before making a decision.
Another major reason is the limited production. Lin Yu certainly would not trap himself in the laboratory for years to prepare the Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate. Therefore, he proposed to give only 600 shares of Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate to the General Logistics Department this year. However, from Commander Yang's words just now, he only knew that there were only 500 shares of the medicine. It seems that Zhou Huang and others still have to pay attention to the flow of Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate to avoid other problems. To be honest, he is not very interested in the General Logistics Department now, and if it doesn't work, he will have to change the supply model.
