    "The conditions in the military division are getting better and better. ¡î¡ú" Guan Fei sat upright in his seat, looked through the rearview mirror at the two dark green buses following behind, and smiled.  "It's not all thanks to you. Portable recorders, recorder parts and components; Transformers, electronic toys; arcade machines; and several trading outlets in the United States, Europe, Japan, and South Korea, just like these, the military division now has them every month  The net profit income is about 60 million U.S. dollars. We also have several domestic business deals: CNC lathes, vibrating stress relievers, component production lines, and various precision measuring instruments. In total, the revenue is almost 100 million U.S. dollars a year.  "Every factory is working overtime now. If most of them were not kept for their own use and only a small part was delivered to the country, the income would be even higher," Zhang Shengguo said proudly, leaning on the back seat of the jeep.  "But the expenses are also high." Guan Fei said calmly, looking at the road ahead silently.  "There's nothing we can do about it. The new city only invests around 10 million per month. We can produce cement, sand, gravel, lime, etc., but we have to buy construction machinery and steel bars from China, which costs a lot of money. Once built,  You still need to buy equipment: university teaching instruments and experimental equipment; the semiconductor research institute that has been built and put into use needs more advanced and more expensive equipment; factory production lines and machine tools; the city is gradually taking shape, and the purchase of various necessary materials is also large.  increase; there are also the erection of transmission lines from within the country; troop re-equipment and training are also where money is spent; in addition, you asked us to start preparing for the dam closure project in October and officially start construction in December, mobilizing more than 20,000 manpower and more supplies.  It¡¯s a huge amount, and the money is used fiercely Our organization is becoming more and more formalized, and there are more and more places to spend money. I now collect money with my left hand and spend it with my right hand. I watch the money flow by like water every day.  , they all became numb." Zhang Shengguo rambled on, telling Guan Fei everything about the expenditure situation of the general division.  But in terms of foreign trade income, the monthly net income of the military division is as much as 110 million when converted into RMB.  Based on the current size of the military subdivision of 120,000 people, if it is divided equally among everyone, each person will receive nearly a thousand dollars, which is not much worse than the per capita income in Hong Kong.  This is the advantage of having fewer people.  For small forces, they don¡¯t need too much income to support the entire territory.  Even if everyone doesn't work and supports everyone, there won't be much pressure.  The same is true for Hong Kong. As the country's window to the outside world, even the not-so-rich mainland has a modest re-export trade volume, which is enough to elevate Hong Kong to the top of the so-called Four Little Dragons.  So at this point, there is not much difference between the military subdivision and Hong Kong, only the size is different.  But financial accounts cannot be calculated like this.  No matter how much money you have, you cannot use it to support lazy people.  The way to govern is to encourage residents to mobilize to create more benefits and allow funds to circulate.  Using the time in the car, Zhang Shengguo made a comprehensive report to Guan Fei on the economic situation of the military division.  He is the chief steward of the military division. He is in charge of the food, drink and sleep of more than 100,000 people in the military division every day. Although he has the authority to mobilize funds as needed, he is also required to make reports.  If you don¡¯t want brothers to be separated from each other, you must first have self-awareness.  " Guan Fei, Zhang Shengguo, Sun Yaohua and others are fully aware of this.  After all, we are no longer a small team of one or two hundred people. Due to the lack of supplies, everyone passed by laughing and joking without taking it too seriously.  Now the organization is so large that it controls the fate of hundreds of thousands of people. If it wants to avoid collapse, it must have a strict operating system.  Without rules, there is no square and circle. This has been true from ancient times to the present.  Guan Fei listened to his reports one by one, compared the data with the biological accessory brain storage, and then analyzed whether he was lying based on the changes in the other party's expression. He quickly learned about the various military divisions in the past six months or so during his absence.  I have a comprehensive understanding of the matter, and I also have a clue about the next work process.  Zhang Shengguo is not an outstanding housekeeper. He does things in a regular manner. His greatest advantage is that he knows how to position himself correctly.  During his absence for more than half a year, Zhang Shengguo always acted according to the rules he set, and Xiao followed suit.  The progress of the few things assigned to him was neither too fast nor too slow.  There were no surprises in the affairs he presided over that made Guan Fei's eyes brighten, but there was no fright either.  This is good, Guan Fei is a person who has a strong desire for control and doesn't like other people's excessive self-awareness.  He makes his own decisions in small areas and tinkers with things he doesn't notice. He is very tolerant and is even more willing to see the other person show his subjective initiative.  But major decisions must be made by him.  Zhang Shengguo¡¯s performance was in line with his requirements. It was no wonder that he had squeezed out several instructors before finally choosing him as his partner.  The two of them walked and talked all the way.?The convoy marched towards the military division at a constant speed of about sixty kilometers.   "This road is called the Burma Road. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was the main line connecting domestic and domestic material supplies. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this road continued to be repaired. Now it seems that after I left, it was carried out again  Big maintenance. You can see that the roadbed has been reinforced. The original dirt road is now covered with a layer of small stones, and the road surface has been expanded to a width that can accommodate four vehicles. It is also covered with asphalt and gravel, which is so solid.  It was flat, and you could hardly feel the bumps when you were sitting in the car. When I came out with the commander, we were driving an open-top truck. I was so dizzy from the bumps in the truck that I almost vomited all the gall" The new military uniform was robbed.  The depression disappeared quickly after hitting the road.  Zhou Xiaoshan and others were very excited. They seemed to have endless words and sighs at every slight change on the road. They talked endlessly, recalling the old and discussing the new.  Pan Meifeng has no memories of the past, so of course she won¡¯t have any emotions.  ¡°But she also felt that the road was well built. It was wide and the compacted asphalt gravel road was very smooth. The car drove very smoothly on it and could always maintain high speed.  Speaking of which, it is more comfortable than on the train.  When the singing of the guardsmen rang out from the military vehicle behind them, the people in the vehicle quickly joined in.  Most of the songs they sang were songs they had sung when they were educated youths and fighting in the jungle. They were either revolutionary songs or military songs.  The singing was impassioned, which made her feel a little novel, but also a little in line with the high-spirited scene in her memory.  These are the men of steel in my memory who dared to compete with God!  Just when she was intoxicated with this feeling, someone suddenly started singing a new song in the two cars behind her.  "It is a clear morning, with the sound of dove whistles accompanied by the wake-up call. But the world is not peaceful, and there are also turbulent storms in peaceful times! Are you ready, comrades and brothers, when that day really comes! "  From the first lyrics she sang, Pan Meifeng felt as if her chest was lit by a fire. The sonorous and powerful tune was so uplifting that just listening to it made people's blood boil.  This feeling is something you can never hear or feel in Hong Kong, where people rack their brains all day long to make money!  "Seeing Zhou Xiaoshan and others all stand up, standing side by side in the narrow aisle, holding hands, singing generously side by side, an emotion she had never experienced before surged back and forth in her heart.  Several times, she couldn't help but sang along with her voice in an off-key voice.  Just because I was shy because I was afraid of singing incorrectly, I quickly shut up.  But no one laughed at her.  In the majestic singing of dozens of people, everyone was affected by this passion, and no one noticed her gaffe.  Moreover, for a chorus military song, it does not need to be in perfect tune. It is enough to join in with the chorus and let go of the throat.  "Look at the direction in which the military flag is flying, the fleet of tanks and aircraft are advancing! Our names are also flying above, and the young soldiers are eager to make meritorious deeds!" The song was repeated over and over again, and everyone blushed and opened their mouths.  He opened his throat and sang loudly with all his strength.  The sound was so loud that in many cases the original tune could no longer be heard. The soldiers were almost roaring at the top of their lungs, and everyone was extremely excited.  This military song is actually very simple. After listening to it so many times, Pan Meifeng also learned it and hummed it in a low voice.  But after a certain repetition, someone shouted loudly: "Comrades, let's play another song "Soldiers Should Go to the Battlefield". There is a truth that goes without saying, get ready, get up!" She had no choice but to shut up and get angry.  Gudi stared, watching Zhou Xiaoshan and others proudly raise their eyebrows to her, and sang loudly: "There is a truth that goes without saying, warriors should go to the battlefield! If it is a tiger, it should walk in the mountains, if it is a dragon, it should have an ocean of brains!   ¡­¡± The military songs were sung one after another for several hours without repeating the same song.  If Pan Meifeng had more or less impressions of the songs she sang before, she had never heard of those songs later.  However, these songs are all so passionate. Regardless of the soldiers' ridiculous singing style, the tunes are also incredibly good.  What started as a chorus turned into a singing song.  After a while, the car behind them sang a song, and then shouted in unison, "One from the front!"   Then, it was Zhou Xiaoshan and the others who chose a song to sing.  After finishing singing, he shouted to the cars behind him, "Come on, one from the back!" Both sides had one song for you and one for me. No one was convinced by the other.  Affected by such emotions, Pan Meifeng kept smiling as she listened to them singing back and forth.  With the singing sound flying all the way, the convoy passed through numerous mountains, speeding through mountains and canyons, crossing rivers and bridges, and running through mountain culverts.  Finally, in the evening, we came to a small town with a constant flow of vehicles.  After several hours of singing, the soldiers couldn't bear it anymore. After the majestic "Internationale", the singing finally stopped.  The convoy did not stop in the town, but passed through it. After a few hundred meters, it turned left and drove along a river bank.  You can see from the car window that there is little water in winter and the river is not deep. At a glance, you can see the mudflats sticking out of the water everywhere, covered with aquatic plants and reeds, and foraging birds pecking at them.  Turning over bugs in the mud.  "The town just now is the border port of Menghai! Let's go around here and walk along the river bank for ten minutes. After crossing the river, we will reach the military subdivision!" Zhou Xiaoshan sat down next to Pan Meifeng and took the water Gudong from her.  Dong drank all the wine and startled her as soon as he opened his mouth.  "Your voice is hoarse." Pan Meifeng sadly took out a pack of mints from her small bag and handed them to him, "Hurry up and hold one in your mouth. There are no one like you, one session lasts for several hours.  No matter how good your voice is, it can't withstand such a waste." Zhou Xiaoshan waved his hand and shouted in a hoarse voice: "What is this waste? Happy, happy, do you understand? We are going home.  "Happy, a few hours is nothing, just one more night of singing is fine!" "Yes!" There was a low response in the car, but it was all in the voice of a male duck, and he tried his best.  There wasn't much response, it was really unconvincing.  "Come on, come on, mint candies, one for each person!" Zhou Xiaoshan opened the package, got up and distributed it generously to others.  "You! I only brought this bag with me. If the astigmatism is gone, it will be gone!" Pan Meifeng was anxious and angry. When he sat down, she pinched him hard and rolled her eyes.  "What are you afraid of! When we get to Xincheng later, I will take you to the shopping mall! I am not bragging, you can buy as many mints as you want!" Zhou Xiaoshan raised his neck and said proudly.  He is the logistics manager of the military division in Hong Kong. He handles rice, clothing, cloth, and all kinds of daily necessities.  Others didn't know what was in the military subdivision, and he didn't know yet.  All kinds of candies are available in Xincheng.  Although the brands are not as rich as those in Hong Kong, and most of them are purchased from China, there are still many varieties!  The convoy soon reached the ford across the river. A cement bridge had been erected here, but there were no lights.  Thinking that crossing this bridge meant leaving the border and entering another country, Pan Meifeng felt a little nervous and confused.  It was so quiet that you couldn¡¯t see the confrontation between the two sides with guns and live ammunition.  Under the cover of night, the convoy passed the bridge smoothly and drove quietly on the dark road.  The whole process was uneventful, with no twists and turns, nor did the lights suddenly turn on and the sight of countless soldiers armed with firearms burst out, which did not satisfy her curiosity at all.  What is a little strange is that the team did not turn on the lights, so they crossed the bridge in the dark and drove on the asphalt road.  Noticing Pan Meifeng's questioning eyes, Zhou Xiaoshan chuckled in a hoarse voice, raised his thumb and pointed toward the southeast: "That is to give an explanation over there, so that everyone can have a reasonable explanation. We don't turn on the lights.  The other party also pretended not to know. The military branch promised not to take the initiative to start a war. Of course, it would give the other party a face, so as not to make everyone look ugly. ""What if the other party starts a war?" She asked reluctantly.  Zhou Xiaoshan curled his lips and patted his belt with disdain: "Then our guns are not vegetarian! In the words of the commander, they have the right to fire the first shot, but we will never allow them to fire the second shot!" Domineering!  As expected, it was Guan Fei who could say this!  Pan Meifeng was convinced, and finally let go of the little nervousness in her heart, and casually watched the scenery along the road.  The car drove a hundred meters and turned around a mountain col. The dark night was suddenly cut through by lights.  I saw a telephone pole erected thirty meters apart by the road.  A bright street lamp was mounted on the pole head, dispersing the darkness and guiding the motorcade to a bright road.  It¡¯s really about giving face to each other, everyone is just doing it superficially.  As soon as it reaches the invisible place, its true form is revealed.  With street lights on, the convoy picked up speed again and soon arrived at a small town.  The convoy turned left and entered a section of road flanked by cliffs  Although there are dark cliffs on both sides, the road is still wide and flat, and there are many vehicles passing by. It is obvious that this road is very busy even at night.  Amidst the increasingly louder sound of water, the convoy drove out of this stretch of sky and turned to the right.  Suddenly, a bright light jumped into Pan Meifeng's eyes.  The dense lights and interspersed colorful lights are like a gleam of light in the deep mountains, a symbol of human civilization, bringing infinite warmth and hope to people.  The convoy accelerated with the cheers of the people in the car and sped towards the light.  Pan Meifeng¡¯s eyes were crooked and her heart was relieved. This long journey has finally reached the end.  They are home!
