Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2132 The car factory produces 50 cars per day

Oil City.

Under the central loudspeaker in the trading market commercial area, many pedestrians stopped to listen to the live broadcast of news about this batch of newly promoted personnel.

Xie Dongming Barbecue Restaurant is not far from here.

The barbecue restaurant's business was so-so during the day, so Xie Dongming came to listen to the radio broadcast.

When he heard that his son, Xie Zihao, had also been promoted to a second-level personnel and captain of the militia brigade, his face was filled with pride.

Many of the pedestrians who came to listen to the broadcast recognized Xie Dongming and offered their congratulations.

"Old Xie, you're amazing! Your son has become the captain of the militia brigade. Wow, that's impressive!"

"Yeah, Lao Xie, when did you send your son to the military department?"

"It's been a long time, hasn't it? I remember Old Xie sent his son to the militia reserve a long time ago."

"Old Xie, you have to treat us! This is such a great occasion, you have to treat us to a meal, right?"

Xie Dongming looked at his regular customers with a broad smile, and cheerfully clasped his hands in greeting, saying:

"Thank you all for your well wishes. So, today our barbecue restaurant is offering a 6% discount on everything!"

Everyone was immediately excited upon hearing this, as it was a real and tangible benefit.

After all, the ingredients at barbecue restaurants are not cheap, so a 40% discount is already a very high discount.

Over the years, Xie Dongming's barbecue restaurant has rarely offered discounts or promotions, with the most discount being 10%. A 40% discount like this is unprecedented.

"Mr. Xie is so generous! No wonder he's known for his wealth and influence!"

"Let's go, let's go! Boss Xie is offering such a big discount, we have to take advantage of this, hahaha."

"go together."

Wearing an apron, Xie Dongming put his little hands behind his back, shook his head, and walked happily toward his shop.

Today is truly a wonderful day.

His son has made a name for himself in the militia brigade, but unfortunately his old buddy Zhu Ziming was just one step behind. He was unlucky and failed to advance, and is still the deputy captain of the militia brigade.

However, both of them were considered to be in management within the Civil Armed Forces Department.

With them around, Xie Dongming's three shops in the oil city can continue to operate steadily.

Thinking about this, Xie Dongming felt even more strongly that letting his son and Zhu Ziming participate in the reserve force of the armed forces five years ago was the right decision ever!

The seeds planted five years ago have now blossomed and borne fruit.

At the same time, on Xie Dongming's way back to the barbecue restaurant.

The Third Transport Brigade, fully loaded with the new season's grain, transported it to the oil city.

Apart from combat vehicles, all trucks used by the Third Transport Battalion are electric trucks produced at the Dazhangshu headquarters.

Since the car factory in Dazhangshu started operating, it has been working overtime every day to produce electric vehicles.

The car factory has also expanded to a second-phase plant, and a third-phase plant is under construction.

The number of new cars rolling off the production line at car factories has doubled from 20 to 50 per day, and the production speed is getting faster and faster.

In the past five months, the car manufacturer has produced a total of 5500 new energy electric vehicles of various types.

These trams were distributed to various bases to enhance transportation capacity for construction projects at each base.

At the same time, it also provided an opportunity for the transportation brigade to upgrade and replace some of the old vehicles.

crunch--

Guo Peng, the captain of the Third Transportation Brigade, and Guifei got out of the car one after the other.

Liu Jinglue, the head of the logistics department of the oil city, had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw them come down, he asked, "Was the trip smooth?"

Guo Peng nodded and said:
"It went pretty well."

As he spoke, he took a list from the car.

"Manager Liu, please take a look at the list of this batch of supplies."

Liu Jinglue opened the list, glanced at it briefly, and finally his pupils contracted slightly when he saw the grain section.

"It seems that grain production in the Northwest has increased this quarter. They've actually shipped over 6000 tons of grain and 100 tons of frozen meat."

Guo Peng smiled and said:

"The Northwest is indeed developing well. Steel production has increased dramatically, and grain production has also increased significantly. In recent months, people have been moving there continuously, and there are now 4 people in the Northwest."

Liu Jinglue closed the list, intending to take a closer look later and conduct a detailed inventory of this batch of supplies.

"With the head of the resident council in charge in the Northwest, such a grand occasion is largely thanks to the resident council's efforts!"

Speaking of Ju Tianrui, Liu Jinglue also admired him.

Ju Tianrui is extremely capable. He single-handedly built the basic framework of the oil city and personally led the construction of the oil city's trading market.

Now he's gone to the Northwest, where he's made significant contributions as well.

In terms of combat command, Ju Tianrui has remarkable leadership skills.

However, Ju Tianrui also did a very good job in managing the base, making him a versatile and well-rounded individual!
Guo Peng and the Imperial Concubine also chimed in with a few words of praise for Ju Tianrui.

"Alright, then have the guys in the back drive the trucks to the storage area. You've all had a long and tiring journey, so go and rest first. After I finish counting the grain on the trucks, I'll load the equipment and other supplies we've collected recently onto the trucks, and then you can head to the headquarters base."

Guo Peng and his team were mainly transporting grain and meat products, which are the most scarce commodities in the oil city.

Because of its central location, the oil city can be reached by going north to the northern border, east to the Oriental Paradise, or south to the headquarters base.

It is the hub for the transportation and distribution of supplies from the five bases of the Great Camphor Tree faction.

Many goods need to be stored and transferred here.

They even built storage areas in the main city of the oil city, the trading market, the buffer city, and even the peripheral cities, and temporarily stored different materials in different storage areas.

Strategic resources such as grain are generally stored in the storage area of ​​the main city of the oil city.

Guo Peng nodded to Liu Jinglue and said:

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Manager Liu."

He shouted again to Niu Shoufu behind him:
"Drive the convoy to the warehouse area."

"Got it!"

Seeing that the conversation had gone on long enough, Consort Gui, who was also the captain of the brigade, said goodbye to Liu Jinglue and left the transport brigade.

Every time she came to the oil city, she would look for her best friend, Zhong Chuchu.

Just then, Zhong Chuchu had finished dealing with the housing issue for a new batch of people in the buffer city.

Looking up, I saw the Imperial Concubine standing outside the office.

Her face beamed with delight. "Your Highness, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me beforehand!"

"Just arrived." The Imperial Concubine smiled as she walked into the office.

Inside the Internal Affairs Department office, there were more than a dozen other internal affairs staff members busy at work. Although Zhong Chuchu was the deputy director of the Internal Affairs Department, she did not have a separate office.

Having just finished her work, she handed over some other tasks to her subordinates and then took the concubine's hand as they walked out of the office building.

"Your Highness, you seem to have lost a lot of weight and gotten darker. It seems the sun in the Northwest is really scorching!" Zhong Chuchu said to the Imperial Concubine.

The Imperial Concubine said nonchalantly:
"It doesn't matter. Where's Xiaoxiao? Is she in the oil city now?"

Zhong Chuchu shook her head and said:

"Oh, she went to the headquarters for her promotion ceremony. They even broadcast it this morning. Didn't you hear our First People's Radio Station in Zhangshu while you were on your way?"

The Imperial Concubine looked somewhat surprised. "She's been promoted? She's the captain of the militia brigade now?"

“Yes!” Zhong Chuchu laughed.

"Her personality isn't suited for the internal affairs department; she'd be better suited for the military department. Speaking of the militia brigade, you used to be its captain."

"So? Do you regret it?"

"Regret? What's there to regret?" The Imperial Concubine was unconvinced; she didn't quite understand what Zhong Chuchu meant.

Zhong Chuchu sighed, her face filled with regret, and said:
"This time, four new combat battalions have been added. If you were still in the Minwu Battalion back then, there's a high chance you would be one of the newly promoted combat battalion commanders!"

The Imperial Concubine smiled and said nonchalantly:
"So what? In our camphor tree system, the position of the transport battalion commander is not much lower than that of the combat battalion commander. Our benefits are top-notch, even better than those of the combat battalion commander."

"It must be tough!" Zhong Chuchu noticed that the Imperial Concubine's skin had deteriorated significantly, realizing that the transport mission was far from simple. Their transport team was constantly on the road, always out and about, and the journeys by car and truck were exhausting.

Furthermore, it also requires dealing with unexpected events that may occur at any time.

It requires both mental and physical effort; it's not an easy job.

However, the Imperial Concubine was quite right about one thing.

The transportation brigade holds a high position, but the ranks of its members vary considerably.

The highest level is level one, the lowest level is level three, and there is even level four.

In addition, since we deal with supplies all year round and transport supplies to various branch bases, sometimes we need to ask them to help us carry some things along the way for our own needs.

Therefore, the transport team is respected by everyone at each base.

The imperial concubine didn't want to talk about this with her. "Take me to the commercial district. I'm heading to the headquarters later."

Shopping is a woman's nature. Even after traveling for more than 40 hours, the first thing the imperial concubine did upon arriving in the oil city was to go shopping in the commercial district.

The journey from the Jiuquan base to the oil city is 2000 kilometers.

The average speed is 60 kilometers per hour, and there will be short stops at the Northwest Branch Base Station along the way, as well as stops for restroom breaks and other purposes.

Although you can sleep in the car, the car doesn't stop even when you're resting.

Therefore, transporting goods in the Northwest is extremely tiring, and a round trip takes at least four or five days.

Even so, the first thing the imperial concubine wanted to do after getting out of the carriage was to go shopping.

“Okay, I’ll take you there on my electric scooter,” Zhong Chuchu replied.

the other side.

After Guo Peng led the transport team's vehicles to the storage area, he picked up his backpack and led Niu Shoufu, Xia Luo, and others toward the dormitory building.

Bathhouse in the dormitory building.

Guo Peng felt much more relaxed after taking a hot shower.

Niu Shoufu, who was wiping himself with soap, asked Guo Peng:

"Brother, do we have to take a detour to the railway again this time?"

Guo Peng rubbed his face, spat out a mouthful of water, and replied:
"Yes, that's right, we need to transport the rails over there."

"Brother, when will the Dashi Railway finally open to traffic?" Xia Luo, to Guo Peng's right, asked.

Guo Peng applied some shampoo to his hair and replied:

"It was before the Lunar New Year. I think I heard Zuo Ruxue and the others say that the northern section has been built up to the Wushi military base. It's almost January, and the Lunar New Year is in February. I estimate that the merging of the north and south railway lines will be completed in about a month."

"After that, we'll probably have to deal with the outposts along the route and some other miscellaneous things. We should be able to get it all done before the Lunar New Year!"

Niu Shoufu rubbed his body vigorously and said in surprise:

"That's pretty fast. It's only been four months. Even if you add another month, it will only be five months. It was fixed in five months, which is much faster than we said before."

"Ah."

Guo Peng washed the foam off his hair, looked up and said:

"There's no other way. The higher-ups keep pushing us. Apparently, they've discovered a lot of new developments in Palau, which is putting a lot of pressure on them. So right now, all the projects under our Great Camphor Tree Group are being completed at breakneck speed!"

As he spoke, he twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.

After finishing the twist, a comfortable expression appeared on his face, and he continued:

"Once the railway line opens, we expect to assign people from our transportation brigade to oversee it. What do you think? Are you interested?"

Niu Shoufu stopped what he was doing, and Xia Luo on the other side also stopped.

Niu Shoufu asked with some concern:

"Now that all four railway lines are open, will our transport brigade be disbanded?"

Guo Peng smiled and said:

"Disband my ass! The higher-ups are planning to set up a railway guard post, and we'll all be transferred there gradually. The four railways can't be built all at once, so we'll transfer there slowly."

"Do you want to go? I can apply to higher authorities."

"No!" Niu Shoufu said without hesitation.
"I still want to follow you, brother. When we all change positions later, I'll go with you."

Charlotte also expressed the same opinion:
"Yes, brother, that's what I think too."

Guo Peng glanced at the two of them with a smile, then continued showering without saying a word.

Ten minutes later, the three of them walked out of the bathhouse feeling refreshed.

Go straight to the cafeteria.

Now, thanks to the large-scale development, infrastructure construction, and data collection operations, all the branch bases of the entire camphor tree force are running like engines, with their personnel operating at full speed.

The construction department operates 24 hours a day in three shifts.
The supplies verification point in the outskirts of the city is also staffed 24 hours a day.
The market's basic food supply store also sells steamed and cooked cornbread 24 hours a day.
Even the canteens in the oil city are open 24 hours a day.

Because in the oil city, people get off work 24 hours a day, without distinguishing between day and night.

After arriving at the cafeteria, they ate several bowls of rice with gusto, and the three of them drank a bottle of wine together. Once they were slightly tipsy, they returned to their dormitory and fell fast asleep.

I slept for six hours.

Drop drop drop-

The alarm clock on Guo Peng's wrist rang, jolting him awake. He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

This was the most comfortable sleep he had had in the last three days.

The car was swaying and shaking, and I was frequently jolted awake, making my sleep quality very fragmented.

"Cool!"

He got up, put on his combat uniform, and seeing the two sleeping like idiots, he put his foot a few centimeters above Niu Shoufu's head.

Baseball stinks!
Ah cut!

Niu Shoufu jolted awake, got up, and looked at Guo Peng with a puzzled expression, covering his nose.

"It stinks! Bro, did you poop in the room?"

Guo Peng pretended to beat him up, saying, "Quickly wake up Lao Xia, it's time for us to leave."

Niu Shoufu quickly woke Xia Luo up, and the three of them quickly got dressed.

I picked up my backpack and walked towards the storage area in my combat boots.

By the time they stepped out of the dormitory building, the sun had already set.

They were used to walking at night.

The zombies have all gone to the ocean now, and there are very few zombies on land. As long as you drive slowly at night, there is no other danger.

The forces in Dazhangshu are currently rushing to meet deadlines, and they are crucial as the transportation team.

Therefore, they drove around the clock to transport supplies.

Guo Peng and other team leaders in the transportation brigade wanted to ensure their men maintained good physical condition and that the drivers were alert and could drive more safely.

Therefore, a three-shift system was implemented, the number of security personnel was reduced, and the number of fixed drivers was increased.

It also has a driver and a co-driver, who take turns driving for eight hours.

You can sleep in the car at other times.

Drop drop-

The personnel of the Third Transportation Brigade assembled within half an hour.

The sun had already set by this time.

The car lights turned on, shining on them.

The Third Transportation Brigade, with over a thousand members, including dedicated drivers, guards, maintenance workers, and others, stood in neat rows.

Looking at his men, Guo Peng felt a surge of pride.

Without further ado, he raised his hand.
"set off!"
