Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 387 Logistics Support for the Taiwan War

Anyway, this little thing is no big deal for Ximen Lang these days.

In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that if Ximen Lang just let a little bit slip through his fingers and brought some goods from the future, it would be enough to feed hundreds or even thousands of people!

Perfect timing! It's perfect timing for Ximen Lang to broaden the horizons of the people of Beijing and let them learn how the logistics of the army were ensured in later generations.

"How about this, you can leave the logistics of this entire battalion to me! Whether it's food, clothing, shelter, or even basic necessities, I'll take care of it all! I'll even cover the wages! What do you think?!"

After saying that, it was the same old recipe, the same old taste, and Ximen Lang pulled out a whole sack of black tens from who-knows-where!

Pointing to the large black sack in front of him, which was so big it could barely be sealed and was falling out in bundles, Ximen Lang continued smugly.

"There's at least a hundred thousand here, is that enough? If not, I'll add more until it reaches the required amount! How about that, you guys should have no problem with this, right? You guys should have no objections, right?!"

Bai Ling, of course, had strong opinions about this!

Especially when she saw Ximen Lang so smug, his tail practically wagging in the air!

They truly, especially, and utterly despised Ximen Lang's spoiled brat behavior.

Without a second thought, in order to prevent Ximen Lang from really getting carried away, Bai Ling immediately retorted.

"You think you're all that just because you have a little money? What do you think this is? This is the army, not a place for you to act like a spoiled brat and mess around."

The reason why Bai Ling criticized Ximen Lang so harshly was certainly not just because Ximen Lang had become arrogant.

Another very important reason is...
Unlike ordinary bodyguards, these are real soldiers!
It is very sensitive, and one is particularly prone to making taboo mistakes!
Although Bai Ling knew that Ximen Lang meant well and didn't want to let down those who had risked their lives for him, in order to reduce the pressure on the world of Beijing, she didn't think much of it at all.
Even if he did think of it, and had the will and the brain to do something, it would be absolutely useless.
But you can't do it like that!

At least you can't be so frivolous, so unreliable!
Therefore, without saying a word, he saw that Ximen Lang had fallen back into his old habit as he was talking.

Bai Ling immediately retorted to Ximen Lang.

After being rebuked by Bai Ling, Ximen Lang finally realized, somewhat belatedly, that something was amiss.
"That's true. If this had happened in ancient times, the emperor would have chopped me to pieces for delivering grain, guns, and even salaries! It seems that this was indeed a bit ill-considered."

Thinking this way, Ximen Lang gradually became serious.

Upon further reflection, it became clear that this matter was indeed quite sensitive and easily led to misunderstandings.

Ximen Lang also abandoned his playboy ways and stopped insisting on his old ways.

He then said awkwardly.

"Of course, I was just saying. If you really feel it's inappropriate, then forget it."

After saying that, Ximen Lang picked up the large black sacks that were scattered all over the ground and made a move to close the bag.
Before Ximen Lang could actually close the burlap sack, a pair of strong, large hands pressed down on his hands.

Their eyes practically wanted to pop into a sack.

His eyes gleamed with envy as he stared at the large sack that Ximen Lang was carrying.

One side.
Hao Pingchuan hurriedly said, "I'm really afraid that because of Bai Ling, the brothers will no longer be able to enjoy such benefits."

"Forget it? Why forget it?! Why would you forget something this good?!"

In fact, in order not to miss this super benefit and to dispel Ximen Lang's doubts, Hao Pingchuan even criticized Bai Ling for the first time ever!

"Bai Ling, I have to criticize you a bit! Brother Lang meant well, and his intentions were all for our benefit. Why are you saying such things about Brother Lang? What gives you the right to say such things about him?! You even said Brother Lang was just messing around, but I think you're the one messing around! You're biting the hand that feeds you, not recognizing a kind heart!"

Goodness, those words were incredibly sharp.

Bai Ling was completely dumbfounded!

Pointing to his own nose, he was stunned for a long time before finally realizing what had just happened!

Then, without any surprise, Bai Ling exploded.

The murderous gaze locked onto Hao Pingchuan, who looked tall and imposing but was actually utterly useless.

Hao Pingchuan was about to be devoured alive by Bai Ling!

"Cough cough."

She cleared her throat, immediately drawing everyone's attention to her, including the furious Bai Ling and the terrified Hao Pingchuan.

First, she glared fiercely at Hao Pingchuan, who was as soft as a noodle, and silently cursed him as a good-for-nothing and a useless piece of trash!
After carefully considering his words, Lao Luo finally expressed his opinion.

"I think Hao Pingchuan does have a point."

Upon hearing this sudden statement, Bai Ling's eyebrows immediately shot up.

Seeing that Bai Ling bypassed Hao Pingchuan and came straight for him.

Lao Luo quickly added a sentence to his defense.

"Of course, to say that you're biting the hand that feeds you, that you're not a kind person, is utter nonsense!"

This finally eased Bai Ling's expression a little.

Changing the subject, Lao Luo continued.

"But what you said about Lang-ge'er just now was really a bit excessive. Lang-ge'er meant well, so why did you have to say such hurtful things?"

"What kind of person is Lang Ge? Others may not know, but do you think you don't know? Why do you say such things about him? It hurts his feelings and dampens his enthusiasm."

"It's not suitable, you know? Even if you're a married couple sharing a bed, it's still not suitable, do you understand?"

"Of course, the most important thing is to learn from Lang Ge'er's advanced logistical support experience! This is a serious matter, and we must take it seriously and absolutely cannot bring it with us."

After listening to Lao Luo's seemingly plausible but ultimately nonsensical and high-sounding words, Bai Ling immediately began to look at him with a sidelong glance.

That was utterly contemptible.

It was clear that he couldn't fool Bai Ling at all. In fact, let alone Bai Ling.

Even Ximen Lang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but curl his lips, looking down on himself with utter contempt!
Speechless. This time, Lao Luo is truly speechless.

Even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He realized that rambling on about these nonsensical things wouldn't fool the two of them at all.

Old Luo, who hadn't originally intended to fool them, but had been led astray by Hao Pingchuan, had no choice but to do this. He glared fiercely at Hao Pingchuan, who had been caught in this mess without any cause.

All of this has been done.
"Let's not bother with all those fancy things anymore," Lao Luo said sincerely.

"I didn't want this either, but Brother Lang gave me so much! He gave me over ten thousand! And I mean over ten thousand! Not just a few dollars! With that much money, who could resist?"

I'm not tempted.

Seeing that Bai Ling was still putting on an act, Hao Pingchuan, who had been as timid as a quail and whose head was practically tucked into his crotch, immediately stood up with Lao Luo's support.

"Come on! You're Ximen Lang's wife, you two are family, a married couple! You have tens of thousands in pocket money alone! In this situation, of course you can be high-minded and of course you can be indifferent!"

But before Hao Pingchuan could put on a show of bravado for long, Bai Ling was genuinely angered by him.

Before Bai Ling could even speak, Ximen Lang was the first to get restless.

"Old Hao, watch your mouth. Who are you calling high and mighty? I know you're speaking up for me, and I'm very grateful for your support. But Bai Ling is my wife. Do you know what that means? Saying things like that to my face is not appropriate!"

I also think Hao Pingchuan's words were far too utilitarian!

Although he did covet what Ximen Lang had promised, that sack of money
"But this money isn't going into my own pocket. You're talking about something so mercenary; isn't that damaging my image and the image of the government?!"

Therefore, it's simply impossible to tolerate!
Following Ximen Lang's footsteps, the three of them, along with Bai Ling, caught Hao Pingchuan and started to berate him.

With the combined efforts of the three, Hao Pingchuan was so overwhelmed by the spray that he couldn't even lift his head.

At the same time, he also used Hao Pingchuan as a perfect outlet to vent all his emotions at once.

Then, where is there any disharmony?
The three of them sat down calmly and started chatting and laughing.

"I won't lie to you two, I am indeed tempted by the generous offer Brother Lang made. Of course, I must make it clear beforehand that if this money and supplies were given to me personally, you can give me a mountain of gold and silver, and I wouldn't even bat an eye!"

"But these things are for our soldiers, and that's when I really couldn't resist. Of course, the main reason is the immense pressure I'm under. Just think about it, every day when I open my eyes, it's about feeding and caring for over 300 people!"

"I can't let them suffer; they have to meet Lang Ge's standards. These standards are so high, even higher than the standards in America! In this situation, even if you sold me, I couldn't afford to support them! Don't you think so?"

Isn't it?
Although Lao Luo does indeed control a portion of resources, and the amount is quite considerable.

But that depends on who you compare it to.

Compared to Ximen Lang, who owns two worlds and can make a fortune by simply changing hands a few times?

Even if you bring over the world's richest man, it won't be enough!
The key is that the vast majority of the resources he controls belong to the public and are of great use!

It's not something that absolutely cannot be moved for the time being and must be stored as a strategic resource; it's something that already has a place to go!
In this situation, even if you put a knife to Luo Yonghao's throat, he would never risk wasting these resources on such trivial matters.

Not to mention, he also has a ready-made God of Wealth by his side, and this God of Wealth is also willing to take on all of this.

As for Bai Ling's constant worry about whether it would violate any taboos...
"What taboos are we talking about? To borrow a phrase from Brother Lang, what era are we living in? Where do all these taboos come from?!"

Isn't it?
Putting aside the fact that Ximen Lang is not that kind of person at all, it is impossible for him to cause trouble in the world of Beijing, which he has genuinely accepted and wholeheartedly regarded as his second hometown.

Even if he really had that thought, that ambition
So what?

"Don't forget, our soldiers are all Geming warriors with lofty ideals, great ambitions, and the most steadfast faith! Fundamentally, we are different from those who will follow whoever feeds them!"

"You think you can corrupt them with just a little food and drink, making them follow Ah Lang in making a mess of things? What a joke! Do you even think that's possible?"

That's definitely impossible!

"Since it's all impossible, why are you still worrying about it?"

He presented the facts and reasoned with Bai Ling, explaining the whole matter thoroughly over and over again.

Following him directly dispelled Bai Ling's completely unfounded worries.

Even Ximen Lang, who was standing to the side, wholeheartedly agreed.

I couldn't help but give a thumbs up in agreement.
"Makes sense!"

While there was still some time, Lao Luo quickly asked all the questions that had been on his mind.

"Ah Lang, you always say that your logistics support is different from ours, how advanced, how powerful, and how abundant it is. I've seen it all, but what about the rest? How exactly is the logistics support work done? And to what extent? Can you tell me about it in detail and have a good chat?"

In fact, the question remains about how logistical support was carried out in later generations and to what extent.
Even Ximen Lang, he didn't really have a concrete concept of it.

"But I can give you a few simple examples to give you a feel for it."

As he spoke, Simon Lang picked out a few key points from the Gulf War, which had shocked and captivated the world, and briefly recounted them to Lao Luo and the others.

"Take the Taiwan war I told you about last time, the one that slapped the whole world in the face. Back then, this is how our thugs handled logistics."

"As early as the beginning of the war, they had already scientifically calculated and roughly estimated how many kilometers the troops could advance each day and where they could reach!"

"Now, here's the key point. For example, Lao Luo, your advance force has pushed the front line forward by 50 kilometers today and needs ammunition and supplies. Okay! Before you advance to this position!"

"Headquarters has piles and piles of supplies, everything you need, all the support! Whether it's fuel or ammunition, it's all been airlifted there and is piled up like mountains in front of you!"

"You don't need to worry about anything other than fighting. When you get to your destination, just change shifts if you need to and rest if you need to! Everything else, especially anything involving material conditions, is not for you to consider or worry about!"

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
