Lin Sanqi brought 15 large trucks of New Year's goods, but they were not gifts for individuals, but to seek benefits for the unit. The things he gave were absolutely impossible to refuse.
When they arrived at the General Logistics Department, the convoy stopped.
Lin Sanqi jumped out of the car and shouted to the convoy, "Five trucks, come here. The other ten vehicles, drive to the nearby Yongding Road and hide. Don't let anyone see you."
Then he showed his ID and ran quickly into Leader Jing's office at the back.
It was the end of the year and there was not much work to do. Leader Jing was listening to the mini radio given by Lin Sanqi in the office while drinking tea. It was a rare leisure time, and then Lin Sanqi rushed in.
"Hey, boss, you listen to the radio during work hours. Do you want to find two more female soldiers from the art troupe to massage your legs?"
Leader Jing was so angry that he threw a piece of waste paper on the table over:
"You kid, are you causing trouble during the New Year? If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. The radio is playing Mei Lanfang's Peking Opera."
"Don't listen, don't listen. I'm sending New Year's gifts to your superiors. Hurry up and claim them. Be careful not to be seen by others. Don't blame me if you lose them."
When Leader Jing heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. "What is it?"
Lin Sanqi said proudly, "This year, we've prepared five truckloads of pork for your General Logistics Department. They're all big fat pigs. My goodness, I even made reservations a year in advance just to find these fat pigs."
This Lin Sanqi did not lie.
He signed a contract with a pig farm in the countryside of Qingyuan early on, because he had to make an appointment in advance. Nowadays, pigs are fed with "ractopamine", and they are all lean meat with very little fat.
Fatty meat cannot be sold in the market and the price is low.
The pork from the farm has fat, even fat that is five fingers wide, but the number of pigs that Lin Sanqi wants is too large, hundreds of them, and the free-range pigs in the countryside cannot provide it.
So Lin Sanqi made an appointment with a pig farm early on and stipulated that any meat with less than five fingers of fat would not be accepted.
Pig farms have their own ways. If you want lean meat, you get lean meat. If you want fat meat, you get fat meat. You can order any width you want. As for whether it has been added with anything else or whether it's healthy...
People in 1962 were almost starving to death, so who cared about their health?
Sure enough, when Leader Jing heard about the five carts of pork, he ran out of the door without even putting on his coat, shouting as he ran:
"Attention everyone in the headquarters, everyone, grab your weapons and follow me!"
After all, it was the headquarters. When the staff who were drinking tea and reading newspapers in the office heard the news, they thought that the Chiang bandit had come again. They rushed out of the office as fast as they could, picked up weapons from the armory, and shouted with excitement.
"Where are the enemies?"
"Damn it, how dare you come to Fuxing Road and act wild?"
"Brothers, charge! I've been itching to do it for over a decade, and now it's finally time!"
The headquarters offices are all located together, including the General Logistics Department, the General Political Department, the General Staff Department, the General Armament Department, the headquarters offices, etc. Everyone works in the same office, separated by only a wall at most.
There was a noise at the General Logistics Department, which quickly attracted the attention of staff from several other departments, and they all ran out to watch the fun.
"What happened?"
"Why is it so noisy over there?"
"I heard there are enemies, and a fierce battle is already underway on the road!"
"Wow~~ Who the hell is looking for death?"
"Let's go together and get the stuff~~~"
When they heard that there were enemies, they excitedly picked up their weapons and rushed out.
Lin Sanqi turned around and got anxious: "Leader Jing, Minister Jing, Uncle Jing, Old Jing, please be low-key, look behind you!"
Minister Jing was just too excited. He had been hungry for a year and could finally eat meat at the end of the year. He wanted to eat as much as he wanted and forgot to keep a low profile. Being too low-key will lead to a quick death.
When he turned around, he saw people bravely rushing out from various offices, each with a determined and excited look on their faces.
"broken!!!"
How could it not be bad? If it were wartime, it would be a happy thing for your comrades to follow you and fight side by side.
But he was going to receive pork. What is pork? It is now the most valuable thing after life. It seems that the General Logistics Department is going to fight a "pork defense war".
Leader Jing slammed on the brakes and yelled at the top of his lungs:
"What are you all doing out here? Go back. I'm just excited because someone's coming from my hometown. Are there people coming from your hometown too?"
One of the old men, with three golden flowers on his epaulettes, held a pistol in his hand, his face full of thought.
"No, Lao Jing, there's something very wrong with you. In the past, when people came from your hometown, you would invite them home for a meal and send them away immediately. You would never bring them to the office."
Another old man with three flowers also laughed and scolded:
"That's right. Back then, the little Zhuge was always a liar. When other people came back from their hometown, they were worried about the lack of food supply, but you were so flushed that you ran out without even putting on a coat. Are you here to meet your old lover?"
Hahahaha~~~
Everyone chuckled, and Leader Jing didn't dare to get angry, so he could only jokingly say:
"Alright, alright, let's all go. It's over ten degrees below zero outside. If you're not cold, I am."
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the gate:
"Oh my god, so much pork~~~"
When Leader Jing heard this, his expression changed instantly.
Another old man with three flowers burst into laughter:
"Old Jing, Old Jing, you think you can fool us by hiding the truth? I don't believe it. Try a sneak attack and see, I caught you in the act, right? Pork, you bastard, you want to eat it all by yourself?"
Leader Jing ran out the door, cursing:
"Mr. Wu, is it easy for me to get some pork? If you have the ability, go get it yourself. What's the point of stealing your comrades' pork?"
The soldier standing guard at the gate didn't know what was going on, and a large group of people in green military uniforms rushed out of the gate.
In front were generals who were rarely seen in normal times, followed by a large group of colonels, and finally even ordinary civilian staff came out.
"Where?"
"Where is the enemy?"
"Where's the pork?"
The guards panicked, and several officers on the street shouted, "The pork is here, here, a whole truck full of it, several tons at least!"
Leader Jing was anxious, and rushed forward with the headquarters staff:
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, it's all uh-huh, no one is allowed to move!!!"
Unfortunately, the General Logistics Department only had a small number of people in the agency. There were five large trucks full of people parked there, and there were already two or three hundred people in green military uniforms on the scene, and no one could defeat them.
Leader Jing was so angry that he slapped the hood of the car: "Drive, drive away quickly~~~"
The drivers were also panicking. Anyone who came over could be their leader. If they really started the car, anyone they crushed would be a chief. Did they want to die?
So I dared not move.
An old man with three flowers on his epaulettes climbed onto the car at a speed that was inconsistent with his age. When the tarpaulin was pulled, there was a burst of exclamations at the scene.
All the pork had been slaughtered, and the slices of pork were stacked there layer by layer.
The big boss surnamed Luo leaned over the pork and yelled:
"This belongs to our General Staff. No one is allowed to take it!"
Leader Jing almost vomited blood:
"Luo, do you have any shame? This is our General Logistics Department's pork, and we didn't spend a penny of the government's money. We found ways to raise it ourselves. How can it belong to your General Staff?"
Leader Luo closed his eyes and ignored it:
"Who knows? Logistics support is the responsibility of your General Logistics Department. How can you get some pork and divide it among yourselves? How can that be justified? Everyone who sees it gets a share. What do you mean by saying that everyone in your General Logistics Department is a member of the country?"
Leader Jing pulled Lin Sanqi over:
"Headquarters distributes the pork. That's the General Office's responsibility. We, the General Logistics Department, are responsible for the logistics of the entire army, not for the logistics of you bastards. Look who this is. He's a colonel from our General Logistics Department. He's my man... Old Li, put down my pork!"
Next to another large truck, a senior leader named Li was carrying a slab of pork on his back and running away in small steps!
"Lao Jing, I won't argue with you. Whoever grabs it first gets it. This half of pork is on me. I'll shoot anyone who dares to take it. I won't say anything else. I'm definitely eating this meat!"
There was a man leading the team, and the others' eyes rolled, so they climbed onto the truck one by one, carried half a pig on their backs and ran away.
There were hundreds of people at the scene, some organized into departments, some organized into divisions. They all called their friends and tried their best to grab the pork from each other.
All the formations used on the battlefield back then, such as the Long Snake Formation, Two Dragons Emerging from Water Formation, Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation, Four-Gate Fighting Formation, Five Tigers and Sheep Formation, Six-Yu Connected Square Formation, Seven-Star Big Dipper Formation, Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation, Nine-Father Star Observation Formation, and Ten-Sided Ambush Formation, were all used.
Even the highest-ranking leader of the headquarters was alarmed.
"What are you doing? Is this a vegetable market?"
The scene was silent and everyone stopped what they were doing.
When this top leader found out what happened, he was so angry that he stood at the door and cursed!
"Stop, what nonsense! You are old and you still steal the pork from the young people. Are you the reincarnation of starving ghosts? If others see you, won't they laugh at our Junwei? Hey, come here, is it heavy for you to carry half a pig on your back? Come, let me try."
A two-bar three-star official quickly advised: "Leader, this piece of pork weighs 100 kilograms, your waist..."
The leader was unhappy: "Who are you looking down on? Just put it on my shoulders and see if I can carry it. Come on."
Half a pig's head was carried on the back of the special leader, who then snatched two pig's heads from an officer nearby and moved in step by step with difficulty.
Lin Sanqi put down his hand that had just saluted, and asked uncertainly:
"Leader Jing, the leader is... still as sharp as ever?..."
"Old ass, he's eating alone!!!"
Then someone shouted: Grab it! The scene became chaotic again.
Leader Jing was so angry that he pulled out his pistol and fired three rounds into the air, but no one at the scene paid any attention to him.
We all have come through gunfire and hail of bullets, so who is afraid of whom? Come on, come and shoot me if you dare.
Are you hitting me? Are you hitting me? (End of this chapter)
