The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 95 Military Service Society Peng Weiguo (Additional Update)
At about 4:00 p.m., Jiang Chengcai arrived at the delivery address. It was the logistics supply department of the army here, or more bluntly, the military supply department. But because the logistics support department of the national army used the term military supply department, there was no such term.

The military service community is inside the supply department. Jiang Cheng bought things in the military service community when he was discharged from the army. When you are discharged from the army, you can get a certificate that allows you to buy many things that ordinary soldiers cannot buy.

The purchase of things in the service community is divided into different levels, and no tickets are required for buying things here. However, only personnel above the platoon level can buy "Da Dao" brand cigarettes, and those at the battalion level can buy "Jin Zhong" brand cigarettes, and even higher-level ones can buy "Taihang Mountain" cigarettes.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that one level corresponds to a brand of cigarettes, but that there are different cigarettes in different places for the same level of cigarettes.

In addition to cigarettes, the same is true for liquor, which does not require a ticket. The service community has Fenjiu and Maotai that do not require a ticket, but if you are not of high enough rank, you cannot buy them.

There were soldiers standing guard at the gate of the logistics department. To reach the service community, one had to walk one or two hundred meters inside. The goods Jiang Cheng sent had to be registered and sent to the warehouse behind the service community.

It might be the influence of the original owner's memory. He wore a vest all the way because of the hot weather. He drove as comfortably as possible. If Jiang Cheng was not born with a good appearance, his image would be no better than that of a second-rate person.

When he got here, Jiang Cheng put on his military uniform. He sat straight, registered at the door, and was accompanied by someone to drive in.

When they arrived at the service community (supply office), the accompanying soldier went inside to report.

The person in charge of the supply department came out, looked at Jiang Cheng, and asked, "Young comrade, you came from the army."

Hearing the question, Jiang Cheng, who was already standing straight, stood even straighter. A soldier must have the demeanor of a soldier. When he meets anyone, he must hold his chest high and raise his head when speaking.

"Xicheng Military Sub-district Logistics Automobile Transport Regiment, motor soldier Jiang Cheng." Jiang Cheng answered proudly, but after answering, Jiang Cheng also wondered where his heroic spirit came from.

Jiang Cheng suspected that he did not seem to have completely succeeded in taking over the original body. Since he came to this era, he always believed that he had completely taken over the body, and the original owner's memory was only taken over by him.

But now he feels that he is not himself, but his thoughts are still controlled by himself. Jiang Cheng in the later generations has never been a soldier, and has no military sentiments. After coming to this era, he did not regard himself as a retired soldier or a retired soldier.

All they think about every day is eating, drinking and having fun. If you deliver goods to a factory or unit and don't give them some benefits, they will think that you are not giving them face.

When he got home and spent time with Zhou Lingying, he didn't look like a soldier at all. If it wasn't for the hot weather, his hands would have wanted to stay inside her clothes.

But since he got close to the troops here, even if it was a logistics supply department of the troops, Jiang Cheng found that he seemed to unconsciously regulate his behavior.

Jiang Cheng felt that his mind could not control his body. He was just a car soldier, and without a rank, he was not even a private. What was there to be proud of? But after entering here, his body instinctively showed what a soldier should be like.

The head of the supply department looked at Jiang Cheng in confusion after hearing his reply. Anyone who could be the head of the supply department of the army would have a high position and would be very familiar with the situation in the army.

In the army, generally, car soldiers are not easily sent to the local area. Because during the selection, the situation will be explained. Car soldiers are technical soldiers. During the training, they will be asked whether they are willing to stay in the army for a long time.

It's not that there are no demobilized soldiers in the army. Sometimes, when some places need construction or something, some older soldiers may be demobilized. But basically, those who are demobilized in this way may not just be transport drivers.

A young car soldier like Jiang Cheng has basically just graduated from training. How could he be transferred to a local job?

So the head of the supply department asked about Jiang Cheng's demobilization. As he expected, Jiang Cheng had a special reason. It is said that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. No matter which choice you make, serving the motherland or going back to take care of your family, it is worthy of respect. Some people even think that giving up a better future for the sake of your family is more loyal and righteous. If it is an ordinary soldier going back to take care of his family, it is nothing, because ordinary soldiers will not stay in the army for a long time unless they are particularly outstanding. But car soldiers are technical soldiers, and they will have a better future in the army than being a driver in the local area.

It's a very simple truth. Many people in the army will be equipped with guards and drivers when they are promoted to a certain level.

The drivers are selected from the car soldiers in the army. Once a car soldier follows a promising leader (those at the regimental level and above can be called leaders), and waits for more than ten years, he will be transferred to the local area and may become a leader of a certain department.

Generally speaking, the leader has only one driver, but there may be many guards. The driver is definitely a person who is closer to the leader than the guards, and can get in touch with the leader's family. A guard around a leader can do well when he is transferred to a local government, but it is really amazing for a driver to transfer to a local government.

Anyway, after knowing Jiang Cheng's situation, the person in charge of the supply department admired him very much. He directly let Jiang Cheng buy things here, but of course the Zhonghua cigarettes specially supplied by the military region could not be sold to him.

The person in charge is called Peng Weiguo, a name he changed after the country was liberated. He can decide what to sell to Jiang Cheng, but only according to his rank. The military region here is not small, so even if he is only the head of the logistics department service agency, not the general logistics director of the military region, his rank is also deputy regiment level.

Jiang Cheng can buy mid-range cigarettes, alcohol, milk candies, leather shoes, shirts and pants, pens, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, and many canned foods here.

But there are some things that Jiang Cheng cannot buy, such as some military accessories for active-duty soldiers, shoulder straps, cap badges, and some other things that can only be worn by active-duty soldiers. Jiang Cheng, who has already transferred to another place, cannot buy these.

But even so, Jiang Cheng was very satisfied and grateful to Peng Weiguo. He bought a set of clothes, a pair of leather shoes, two bottles of wine, a pack of cigarettes, a fountain pen, two kilograms of milk candy, some canned food, and even a can of malted milk.

Malted milk is a high-end nutritional supplement and drink in this era. Even in the military service center, it is not available everywhere. However, malted milk is produced in Shanghai, especially the "Shanghai Brand" malted milk, which is produced here. It is normal for it to appear in the local military service center.

It's not that Jiang Cheng doesn't want to buy more, but he doesn't dare to buy too much, to appear reasonable. Here, Jiang Cheng also saw Shanghai brand watches for sale. But he won't buy them, and even if he is at Peng Weiguo's level, he himself is not qualified to buy without special approval from above. Not to mention letting Jiang Cheng buy them.

Jiang Cheng is now very satisfied with the things he has bought, as they are all in-demand materials that are difficult to buy outside.

Here, Jiang Cheng spent a lot of money. Malted milk was a brand name product, 5 yuan a can. The fountain pen was made of better material, 2 yuan a piece.

The canned fruit was 80 cents, and the pork was 1.1 yuan. Jiang Cheng didn't want the canned fish, because he didn't lack fish to eat.

White Rabbit candy costs two yuan a pound, plus cigarettes, alcohol, clothes, and other miscellaneous items. In total, I spent more than fifty yuan. Like many veterans, I would buy a lot of things at the military service center after receiving a bonus.

　I wanted to save some drafts, but I thought, I won't update them in the early morning after the release. I'll try to write as much as I can.

　　The main reason is that another brother gave me 1500 starting coins, which is more than ten yuan, although I can't get that much.

　　Thanks to Youfang Taoist Yousifang for the reward.

　　Please don't give me any tips. A hundred or two hundred is not a burden. More than that will be embarrassing. The main reason is that I won't be able to add more later.

　　But I'm begging for monthly tickets. If you have them when the amount is doubled, I'll try to give them to you. After the amount is doubled, I won't struggle anymore.
