Unexpectedly, after returning, Populus Hu Yang grinned and said with a big face that he took on a big job, helping the alliance army transport logistics supplies, and went to xy city to participate in the annual expedition.
? Although the journey is a bit far away, the shipping fee is more than three times the normal one, and the benefits are even better. Not only provide daily food and drink, and distribute ammunition, but if you don¡¯t have your own guns, you can also borrow the standard weapons of the Union Army for free.
The most exciting thing is not the freight, nor the free food, drink, ammunition and weapons, but the materials collected along the way. According to the regulations of the alliance, the transportation company can replace the previous freight company. Except for the materials on the special list that need to be sold to the government at a basic price, the rest are all owned by the company and tax-free!
Although there is an alliance military material station about 200 kilometers away on this road, most of the area is a blank area that has not been cleaned up much. It is fatter than the ruins near the capital and Jinmen Port that have been rummaged countless times. many.
As a gold digger, Hu Yang is very aware of what useful materials can be found in the ruins of the city, and especially understands their value. After asking Sun Feihu for his opinion, he signed a contract with the military representative on the spot, promising to send at least 30 carriages.
However, this good news sounded like an alarm in Hong Tao's ears. He couldn't eat for several days and couldn't sleep at night, trying to figure out what was wrong. However, due to the lack of information in hand, imagination alone is not enough to make accurate judgments.
So he didn't care about hiding his identity anymore, so he asked Wang Gang to make an appointment with Feihu Sun and Mrs. Xiushan, and ask a few questions face to face. He ran to Langfang 914 factory non-stop, and specifically asked Yu Qing, the only military person he was familiar with, about this matter, and basically figured out the ins and outs of this matter.
The so-called expedition is an annual action to clear the zombie-controlled area. In recent years, although the Alliance military has become less keen on this thankless job, it still sends a regiment of troops to the south every year to simply clean up the areas controlled by zombies along the way.
On the one hand, it is to open up the road to the south, and on the other hand, it is also for military training. If an army does not train all day to go to the battlefield, no matter how much its combat effectiveness on paper increases, its actual combat effectiveness will become weaker and weaker.
Regardless of whether Ran Di is the Minister of Armed Forces or Jiao Qiao is the Minister of Armed Forces, the Alliance Army has never given up on the concept of using combat as a substitute for training. If it cannot find a suitable opponent, it will use zombies.
This method went smoothly in the first few years. At that time, the zombie-controlled area was not far from the alliance-controlled area, and even bordered on it. They met each other after walking for a day, and did not need logistical supplies.
But as time went by, the zombie-controlled area became farther and farther away, and at this time, the transportation issue had to be put on the agenda. With a regiment of thousands of people, the cleanup operation lasted for nearly two months. It is obviously not enough for the soldiers to carry supplies by themselves.
Let's dispatch the military logistics force, the cost is a bit high. All Union soldiers have a fixed ration, and it will increase during wartime. It is obviously not worthwhile to pay such a high price just for military training.
So someone came up with a compromise solution, setting up a freight company dominated by refugees to undertake logistical support work, so that the military only needs to pay a little freight and doesn't have to worry about anything, including casualties.
The refugee coachman can not only provide logistical supplies, but also carry out a carpet search of many villages, towns and urban ruins along the way, bringing back all the useful materials that can be seen.
At that time, the alliance government can adopt the method of official procurement to purchase some urgently needed materials from the migrant drivers, and the income obtained can completely offset the freight paid.
If there is a big discovery, such as a relatively well-preserved food, machinery, electronic product warehouse or even an ammunition depot, the alliance government will not only spend nothing, but will actually make a lot of money.
The migrant driver can own the remaining supplies and sell them on the market when they come back, which is also a lot of money. The alliance army did not delay the training of troops and open up the road to the south, it was killing three birds with one stone.
Originally, this job was mainly undertaken by the shipping company, which was the kind of job done by the thin monkey neighbor. Although they are also companies dominated by refugees, they are essentially more like the tertiary industry of the coalition government.
As the saying goes, fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, such a fat job must be divided into relatives and estrangements. Only when the transportation capacity is insufficient, will another batch of vehicles from the transportation company be hired as assistance, but the treatment will be the same.
But this year has to be an exception. As the arrival date of the second batch of immigrants from Xinjiang Province approaches, some of the freight company's vehicles are transferred to transport immigrants near Chang'an, and the rest of the vehicles have to cooperate with the railway to go to Xinjiang Province as a short-term transit transport. The main force, a car can't be vacated.
So this job all fell to the transportation company, which could only play a supporting role, and the military representative did find Sun Changzhong first. No matter how Zhang Fengwu's case turned out, Changfeng?After all, the two transportation companies of Zhongyi are old brands, and their transportation capacity and credit are guaranteed.
However, Sun Changzhong pulled his hips at a critical moment. The carriages of Changfeng and Zhongyi two transportation companies are sufficient, but due to the recent impact of the company, the loss of coachmen is serious, and only 50 carriages can be produced at full capacity, which is 80 kilometers away from the minimum required by the military. There is still a big gap.
As a last resort, the military representative could only find Sun Feihu, the shareholder of Ping An Transportation Company, through the relationship of the Infrastructure Department of the Logistics Department. After talking about this matter, Sun Feihu immediately called Hu Yang over.
Hu Yang and Sun Feihu also had good intentions. If the military can take over this large order and complete it well, then the military will definitely not only think about Sun Changzhong when they have transportation tasks in the future. As long as it can compete fairly, Ping An Transportation Company is confident that it will not be inferior to the old-brand transportation companies, and can do better!
Although Ping An Transportation Company has developed rapidly in the past two months, it still cannot compare with Sun Changzhong's transportation company in terms of scale and credit. The main reason is that the time is too short to allow more customers to know and be familiar with it. This time is indeed a good opportunity.
But Hong Tao really doesn't think so. No matter what happens to his rogue character, the first thing he sees is definitely not the benefit but the risk. Only after determining where the risk comes from, how to avoid it, and whether it can be avoided, will you calculate how much you can earn.
This time was no exception. When he heard that Hu Yang had signed the contract, he wanted to scold her. It's not like going to the emergency room. If you delay for a few hours, you will die. Why don't you delay it for another day and wait until you come back to discuss it and make a decision!
But thinking of Hu Yang's identity and his age, Hong Tao swallowed back the words that came to his lips. I am not their father, and I have no right to control them everywhere, let alone scold and teach them a lesson.
But not scolding does not mean doing the right thing. In the next few days, Hong Tao first had an open and honest chat with Tong Limin, then found Feihu Sun and Mrs. Xiushan, and through the relationship between Shen Nan and Bai Xiude, from various aspects Inquired about the authenticity of this matter.
Of course, all of this was done behind Hu Yang's back, and Wang Gang was the one who came forward, and he himself was still the brainless thug who stood by and only listened, occasionally asked a question, and patronized to play cool.
The final investigation results proved that the matter was true. The military found Feihu Sun through the logistics department because they could not raise enough horse-drawn carriages, intending to try their luck.
Don't think that if you leave, you won't be able to go on an expedition. It is true that the military can draw capacity from the pastoral area in the north of the city and Jinmen Port. They just don't want to go to war and affect the work arrangements of other departments.
However, Tong Limin made a calculation, which made Hong Tao dare not let go of his original concern. He said that Changfeng and Zhongyi have more than 100 coachmen directly under them and nearly 100 vehicles. Even if all the joined teams run away, they can still take over the expedition mission.
Moreover, compared with other freight projects, it is more profitable to provide logistical support for military expeditions, and it only happens once a year, so no matter how much trouble there is, it will not be easily given up.
So the question is, have Sun Changzhong's direct team and drivers been scattered? There is no need to ask anyone this question, Hong Tao can give the answer himself, far from reaching it!
Not only did the directly affiliated teams stay, but many franchised teams still relied on Sun Changzhong to make ends meet. In the past two months, there are indeed quite a few teams that have turned from the dark to the bright, but compared to the total number, they are still only a small part.
