A doctor who travels through two eras

When Leader Jing heard Xu Tianxing's complaints, he wasn't angry; instead, he was both amused and exasperated.

"Old Xu, don't bite the hand that feeds you. These tea leaves weren't allocated by the state, nor were they bought by headquarters. They were a private gift from Comrade Lin Sanqi of Bao'an County."

I wouldn't even drink it myself, but I brought it out especially to reward you, my meritorious contributor, and guess what? You immediately launched into a tirade of criticism! Am I being wronged?

Xu Tianxing didn't blush after hearing the explanation; instead, he continued to question:

"Commander, even if I wronged you about the tea, it is a fact that your supplies were not timely and sufficient, right?"
Okay, I won't go into the food issue. Our soldiers can manage on two meals a day.

But what about our weapons supply? What about our guns and ammunition? You've cut the supply in half! Does that mean we're expected to go chopping people up with axes?

Even Leader Jing was helpless upon hearing this:
"Old Xu, you've wronged me again. To provide you with supplies, I'm really stretching every penny to the limit. It's tough on other parts of the country, but we also need to prioritize the supply to your snowy plateau province."

But as you know, transportation in your snowy province is really inconvenient, especially in the border areas, which are located at the highest point of the Himalayas. You know, it's freezing cold there, and even airplanes have difficulty flying, let alone convoys.

Supplies are almost entirely transported using the most primitive method: pack animals. Of 100 tons of supplies, most are consumed en route to the border. Currently, a large amount of our supplies are stockpiled in Golmud and Urumqi, unable to reach the front lines.

From Golmud, the transit station closest to the plateau, to the border battlefield via the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the entire journey is over 2000 kilometers.

The Xinjiang-Tibet Highway transport, which starts from another transit base in Urumqi, faces even greater challenges due to the higher mountain passes and the need to pass through uninhabited areas.

The entire journey relies on either trucks or horses. Given the high-altitude environment and climate, a one-way trip would take more than half a month, assuming everything goes smoothly.

At that time, things were really tough for China. The year of natural disasters had just passed, agricultural and industrial production had not yet recovered, and the production of supplies was far from sufficient.

As the leader in charge, Director Jing was truly like a paperhanger, constantly tearing down one wall only to have another fall on it, until his hair turned completely white.

Xu Tianxing was naturally aware of the leader's difficulties, but he was currently on the front lines leading troops and had to consider his own interests, so he tilted his head and refused to listen.
"Boss, my good boss, please help us think of a solution. My requests are not high. One is to solve the transportation difficulties, and the other is to solve the lack of weapons. I'm begging you, I'll even kneel down if you want."

Leader Jing also got angry at this point:

"Alright, alright, I'll personally go to Golmud tomorrow and carry the supplies to you step by step. Is that better now?"

The two of them sat there sulking.

What angered me wasn't the other person's attitude, but my own powerlessness; I was angry at myself.

Suddenly, when Leader Jing saw the Longjing tea in front of him, the image of the omnipotent Lin Sanqi came to mind.

"Hey, Lao Xu, I've thought of a capable person who might be able to help us."

Xu Tianxing asked in surprise, "Who? Is there anyone in our country more capable than you?"

"Does Comrade Lin Sanqi know about this?"

"I know him. He invented the tuberculosis drug and seems to be a cadre in the south now?"

Leader Jing slapped his thigh:
"Yes, that's the kid. Everyone in our group knows that he's backed by a powerful and mysterious organization that can get all sorts of high-tech and supplies from abroad."

There's almost nothing he can't do, only things we can't imagine.

Moreover, this guy isn't greedy. He got us hundreds of the latest fighter jets, but only accepted 40 tons of gold in return. He's a reliable, trustworthy, and trustworthy comrade who has stood the test of time.

"Why don't we go to him and ask him to think of a solution?"

Xu Tianxing hesitated for a moment and said:

“How much power can Bao’an County have? You have to understand that we need a huge amount of transport vehicles, weapons, equipment, food, clothing and so on. Even if we sold Bao’an County, we couldn’t raise that much money.”

Leader Jing chuckled:
"Then you are wrong. Just half a month ago, Comrade Lin Sanqi handed over 3 million US dollars in one go. All of this was earned from his business."

Based on my understanding of him, this kid will definitely have something up his sleeve. He won't honestly hand over all his money; he'll definitely keep some for unforeseen circumstances.

Although Comrade Lin Sanqi did not love money, he was very interested in all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade and herbs in China.

If he's really willing to help, you can't let him suffer a loss. Go back and discuss it with Old Tang from the Western Military Region. Pack up all the antiques from the Xi'an Antique Shop and send them over. I guarantee he'll be tempted and fully support you.”

Xu Tianxing chuckled upon hearing this: "Alright, what's so special about antiques and curios? There are tons of them in Shaanxi Province. What's wrong with sending him a batch? Come on, when are we going to Bao'an County?"

"Let's set off tonight. Comrade Lin Sanqi just happened to send us a batch of new MA64 passenger planes, which will make commuting much more convenient now."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, let's go quickly."

That evening, at the Bao'an County Government Guesthouse.

Leader Jing sat in the head seat, Lin Sanqi sat to the side, and next to him sat Chief Cao Zhiyang, Chief Xu Tianxing, and Director Shen Guoming.

Xu Tianxing was telling Lin Sanqi about the battle situation in the snowy region:
"Last year was actually a two-front war, namely the eastern and western fronts."

The war on the eastern front is nearly over, essentially at a strategic stalemate. The current issue lies on the western front, the area my unit is currently defending.

When Lin Sanqi looked at the map, he thought to himself, "Isn't this the Kashmir region? Even if I were in another timeline, we would still be fighting to the death in 2015."

It seems this place has bad feng shui; there are bloodshed and disasters every year.

People from the South believe in this kind of thing.

"The geographical location of the Kongka Mountains region that we currently occupy is very important. It has the highest elevation, and the elevation gradually decreases southward until it reaches the Ganges Plain."

Therefore, as long as we firmly control the 3 square kilometers of highlands in the Kongka Mountain area, we can maintain a strategic deterrent over Baotou State from a high vantage point, making them feel like they have a thorn in their side.

The Indians also know how important this place is, so they want to take Kongka Mountain at all costs.

If they succeed, they can then look down on us and threaten the border regions, and our western border will never have peace.

Lin Sanqi nodded, indicating that he understood.

No wonder we could retreat on the eastern front but insisted on not retreating an inch on the western front; it's because this place is too geographically important, and no one could retreat there.

Xu Tianxing then continued to complain:

"We are committed to holding the Kongka Mountain area; this is the unwavering belief of every officer and soldier in our Snow Region Military Region."

However, we are currently facing numerous difficulties, and if these difficulties are not resolved, we will not be able to hold Kongkashan. Warfare, in essence, is about logistical support.

Lin Sanqi blinked, thinking to himself, "I understand now. So these generals didn't come to Bao'an to tell me stories, but to beg for alms."

So he looked at Leader Jing and thought to himself that this person must be a traitor.

Leader Jing smiled awkwardly, quickly picked up his teacup, and looked up to examine the quality of the ceiling.

Seeing that Lin Sanqi didn't respond, Shen Guoming took the initiative to speak:

"Chief Xu, the prosperity of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen. Tell us about your difficulties. If it's something that Bao'an County can solve, we'll lend a hand. If it's something that Bao'an County can't help with, we'll work together to find a solution."

In fact, Lin Sanqi had no resistance in his heart. This was a self-defense counterattack against foreign tribes, and needless to say, he would also do his part.

Xu Tianxing pointed to the map with his finger before speaking:

"The first difficulty was that we didn't have enough weapons and ammunition, and we also lacked food and other necessities. Although we had prepared 3 tons of supplies before the war, we did not expect the war to last for two years."

Lin Sanqi thought to himself, there's no doubt that there will never be enough supplies in the country.

"The second difficulty is that resupply is too difficult. You can see from this location that it is very far away, more than 2,000 kilometers away, whether you come by the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway or the Qinghai-Tibet Highway."

In addition, once you reach the edge of Kongka Mountain, there are no roads to go further, making it difficult for large trucks to reach the area. Supplies must be carried into the mountain by horses and mules, which is very costly and inefficient.

Another issue is the harsh climate. Every year from the end of November to April, the Kongka Mountain area is inevitably blocked by heavy snow, and in May, the border area will enter the rainy season, making transportation almost impossible.

Transporting supplies was not just a difficult problem, but also came at a great cost in lives, due to landslides, avalanches, and mudslides along the way. There was also the possibility of encountering enemy forces specifically targeting logistics units.

It's so difficult for us..." (End of Chapter)
