Chapter 566 Who's the real bumpkin? [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

The long convoy drove into the city, then left, heading straight for the vast primeval forests near the border.

Under normal circumstances, convoys on missions do not enter urban areas.

But this is Yunnan.

Yunnan is a region with a terrain and landform far more complex than that of Sichuan and Chongqing.

The young mountain range stretches from north to south, eventually meeting the meandering Lancang River at its end, and together with a large area of ​​primeval forest, it forms a very unique landform.

Many national highways that are highlighted on the map are actually just extremely treacherous mountain roads. They stand in stark contrast to the expressways built in recent years, which have turned "natural barriers into thoroughfares," creating a wonderful picture where the ancient and the modern meet.

Today it is today.

These national highways play an important role in the daily transportation of Yunnan Province.

Once you exit the highway, if you want to go to certain areas, you have to pass through the city and then take the national highway that has been improved by generations of people to reach your destination.

After two hours of winding and turning driving.

Zhao Weihong finally arrived at her destination: a small county town under the jurisdiction of the autonomous prefecture, right next to the border.

As soon as she opened the car door, the increasingly humid and hot air rushed into Zhao Weihong's mouth and nose, almost making her faint from the cool breeze that had been blowing in the passenger seat just a second before.

"The main force has finally arrived!"

"With you here, the operation is guaranteed!"

"No demons or monsters, none of them will be allowed to cross the territory we are guarding!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw more than a dozen figures dressed in different clothes standing in the center of the courtyard where the convoy was parked, staring intently at Zhao Weihong and the others who had just gotten off the vehicle.

"Duty officers of each company, begin lining up immediately."

"All cadres, assemble before me immediately to discuss the specific details of the operation with comrades from other units!"

Hearing the voice coming from the walkie-talkie, Zhao Weihong and Hu Yiming, who had also just jumped out of the car, exchanged a glance and then jogged towards the center of the courtyard.

The people issuing orders over the walkie-talkie were not Wei Tao and Wu Fengxu.

Instead, it was a deputy regimental commander whom Zhao Weihong was not very familiar with, who could be considered the "frontline commander" of their group.

Two days earlier, the 446th Regiment, which had originally been deployed in full force, had already split up its forces.

Wei Tao and Wu Fengxu headed to the temporarily established "Joint Command Post." The deputy regimental commander, who had just given the order, led Zhao Weihong's battalion to continue their journey, while the other battalions also rushed to their respective mission locations.

For the next month or so, the 446th Regiment will fight independently under the overall coordination of the "Joint Command".

The reason for assigning a deputy leader to lead the team is simply to facilitate communication with leaders of other units.

The specific task implementation and on-site handling were still the responsibility of the officers within the First Battalion.

From this perspective, the command structure for this operation becomes very clear.

The "joint command post" where Wei Tao and Wu Fengxu were located was the "rear command post".

The deputy head of the delegation, who will be in charge of leading the team, will soon form a "forward command" with the team leaders from other units.

Zhao Weihong, who is responsible for the specific execution of the task, will become a member of the "base command," that is, the grassroots command headquarters.

Zhao Weihong stood in the queue, observing the leaders who were exchanging pleasantries.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes, who looked like a local official, was introducing the composition of their welcoming team to Zhao Weihong and the others.

"These two are representatives from the public security sector. We will need their intelligence support for our work over the next month or so."

"Speaking of which, the comrades in the public security system who are on the front line of drug enforcement have made the most sacrifices and paid the highest price."

"To be honest, we're the ones who came here to pick the peaches!"

Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged policeman in a uniform with a white shirt underneath waved his hand and said in an unassailable tone.

"Fighting crime and eradicating drugs is our duty."

"Such a large-scale operation is not something that our company alone can handle."

"Moreover, our purpose in gathering here is to seek the well-being of the people and to strive for stability for our country and society!"

"How can there be a question of whether or not to pick peaches?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man, who had intended to lighten the mood, realized he had made a slip of the tongue, but he didn't show it on his face and continued to speak with an undiminished smile.

"I didn't think that through!"

"We only considered the feelings of our colleagues in the public security sector, without considering the feelings of colleagues in other units. We should reflect on this!"

After casually glossing over the topic, the middle-aged man began introducing the other people.

Representatives from the local border defense forces, the armed police, and Zhao Weihong and others who had just arrived.

These three groups of people, all dressed in military uniforms, acted very close to each other even without introductions, their eyes filled with a sense of eagerness, as if they wanted to determine who would win in the upcoming operation!

Among the welcoming party, the leaders from the People's Armed Police were the most numerous.

It has internal security, border defense, and fire protection departments. The fire protection department is further divided into urban fire protection and forest fire protection, making it incredibly complex.

Even with Zhao Weihong's exceptional memory, it took her quite a while to recognize each of the armed police officers.

Just by looking at the personnel composition, you can tell that the division of branches within the People's Armed Police is somewhat bloated.

Leaving aside firefighting, the "border armed police" and the border defense forces of the People's Liberation Army have functional conflicts.

Although the People's Armed Police also have the attributes of maintaining stability and handling emergencies, they often need to cooperate with comrades from the public security department in some border affairs.

However, the armed police also have the identity of soldiers, and in their daily work they often find themselves in an awkward situation of being "neither military nor police," their identity is really too ambiguous.

"Wei Hong, what are you thinking about?"

"time to go!"

Somewhat dazed, Zhao Weihong looked up and saw that the welcoming party had already left, while the soldiers of the First Battalion were busily unloading luggage from the vehicles.

"What's wrong with you? You were fine when you got off the bus."

Why are you suddenly so absent-minded?

"What's wrong? Getting nervous seeing colleagues from other units?"

"That doesn't make sense! How could such a small situation make you nervous?"

Hearing Hu Yiming's concerned inquiry, Zhao Weihong waved her hand, not revealing the question she had just been pondering.

"Nothing much, I just had some questions on my mind."

"What's going on? Why did everyone leave? And they've even started carrying their luggage downstairs?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yiming knew that Zhao Weihong hadn't listened to the rest of the conversation. He immediately rolled his eyes at Zhao Weihong and explained, "Didn't I just say? This is the local armed police brigade's base!"

"Next, this will be our forward command post for this operation."

“Our battalion will also live here. The comrades from the Armed Police have specially moved to other places, leaving us with a complete camp.”

"They even arranged for a cook to prepare a meal for us, which included many local specialties."

"You didn't even notice that? That's not like you!"

As he spoke, Hu Yiming nervously touched Zhao Weihong's forehead, but before he could touch her, Zhao Weihong stopped him with a speechless expression.

Zhao Weihong knew that Hu Yiming was worried that she might feel nervous or nervous during her first real-world mission.

To be honest, Zhao Weihong was a little nervous from the very beginning, but only a tiny bit.

More than anything, there is anticipation, eagerness to try, and excitement at the prospect of applying years of hard work to real combat!

However, Zhao Weihong couldn't explain it to Hu Yiming.

We can't exactly tell Hu Yiming the truth, that he, a "small" intern, was just thinking about the problems with the organizational structure of the Armed Police, can we?
If that's really the case, Hu Yiming would probably send Zhao Weihong to the hospital for a thorough check-up right away!

It was just a meeting with comrades from the Armed Police, how could you think of such a question?
Zhao Weihong knew that it was not appropriate to talk to Hu Yiming about this at this time, so she abruptly changed the subject.

"Your fellow villager gave you so many snacks, and you're still not full?"

"Let's go. So many comrades from other units are here. We need to go back and keep an eye on things. We can't let our 446th Regiment down!"

After saying that, Zhao Weihong took the lead and walked towards the convoy. Seeing this, Hu Yiming muttered, "Why is Old Zhao acting so strangely?" and quickly followed Zhao Weihong.

The living conditions of the People's Armed Police are indeed much better than those of the People's Liberation Army.

The building of this armed police brigade looks more impressive than the headquarters of the 446th Regiment.

The camp also has a separate two-story canteen, a training hall that can accommodate hundreds of people training at the same time, and even a very flat track and field track built in the steep terrain of the southwest.

The obstacle and equipment training ground is fully equipped and very well maintained, looking as if it were brand new.

Many members of the 446th Regiment saw this and tried their best not to appear ignorant. However, once they entered the dormitory, they looked around in amazement, like Grandma Wang visiting the Grand View Garden.

"Goodness! I was laughing at the armed police for not having heavy equipment!"

"Looking at myself today, I realize I'm the real country bumpkin!"

"Single beds! Solar-powered hot water! Each dorm even has a private study room, and they even have a TV?"

Wang Fei looked up, surveying the tiled floor and the clean, elegant ceiling, his expression blank with shock.

Hu Qingyuan was even more direct, turning on the TV without saying a word.

A clear picture immediately appeared, accompanied by a loud and clear sound.

Despite the commercials playing on TV, a large crowd gathered around, watching with rapt attention.

In the 446th Regiment.

The soldiers' leisure time on their days off consisted of playing ball, playing chess, and reading.

As for the television, there's only one in the entire company, located in the study room, and it has very few channels.

Even so, many people still like to go to the study room and watch various programs that are randomly played for a while.

But there's only one TV, so the new recruits definitely won't have control of the remote. Even some non-commissioned officers have to step aside!

But if every class had a TV, the situation would be different!

The soldiers can freely "roam" around and watch their favorite programs to their heart's content!
Seeing the incredibly excited soldiers, Zhao Weihong didn't rush to remind them. Instead, she quietly placed her luggage on the solid wood bed near the corner.

Ever since arriving at the 446th Regiment, Zhao Weihong has always slept in a bunk bed with steel frames. Every night when she goes to sleep, the dormitory is filled with creaking and groaning sounds.

Zhao Weihong is a light sleeper and is easily awakened by noise. She has been woken up more than once by the sound of others turning over in their sleep.

Although Zhao Weihong didn't care about it, it eventually became a bit annoying after a while.

Then look at the living conditions of the armed police officers.
Just one single bed is enough to make the 446th Regiment look like nothing, not to mention the other supporting facilities!
In terms of living conditions, the 446th Regiment definitely lost, lost miserably!
The reason for such a significant difference is not only because the barracks of the armed police were built in recent years.

More importantly, the expenses of the People's Armed Police can be supported by local government finances.

Many living expenses, such as unplanned expenses for repairing the barracks and purchasing training equipment, can be reimbursed, so they don't have to be as stingy with money as the 446th Regiment.

In fact, in earlier years, the living conditions of the People's Armed Police were not as good as those of the People's Liberation Army.

However, with the rapid development in recent years, the Armed Police, which is closely tied to local finances, naturally enjoyed the benefits of economic development earlier.

In comparison, the PLA, which needs to plan its annual budget in advance, naturally appears somewhat "lagging behind".

"All right."

"If you want to enjoy it, there's plenty of time ahead!"

"Hurry up and pack your things, we're about to eat!"

Zhao Weihong stepped forward, turned off the TV, and her tone gradually became cold.

"As you just saw, this building will be filled with comrades from other units until the operation is over!"

"They might just run into our class's dorm room to check on the cleanliness and hygiene of the rooms."

"Now that we're on someone else's territory, we absolutely cannot let our company and regiment lose face!"

"The mission must be carried out well!"

"You can't neglect my daily routine either!"

"If anyone embarrasses our team, don't blame me for dealing with you when we get back!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fei and the others finally snapped out of their initial excitement, immediately stood up straight, and shouted at Zhao Weihong.

"Yes!"

Not long after.

The entire battalion rushed downstairs at the sound of the whistle and assembled in the open space in front of the building.

Not far away, a battalion commander was having a lively conversation with a major from the armed police.

There was also a lieutenant-ranking armed police officer standing confidently at the right front of the formation, looking as if he were leading the entire battalion.

as predicted.

After the pre-meal song segment, the battalion, led by the armed police lieutenant, headed straight for the bright and clean second-floor canteen.
