Before Tang Shaohua crossed over, he once saw the movie "The Battle of Moscow", and at that time he and his friends were criticizing Rokossovsky in the movie, saying that since the troops had to march for a long distance, in the case of insufficient vehicles, they couldn't even think of such a simple way as temporarily requisitioning civilian vehicles, and they were simply stupid.

Unexpectedly, when he became Rokossovsky, he found that the problem of insufficient vehicles was really an unsolvable problem. Because he found that every weekend, Russians like to take a car to go on vacation, or drive a private car to their villa in the forest on the outskirts of the country, and tending to the vegetable patch in front of the house. If most of the cities are empty, the number of vehicles needed will not be a small number, and the army will not be able to requisition civilian vehicles.

Tang Shaohua locked himself in his office and thought about it for two days, and finally came up with a stupid solution, that is, the day before the outbreak of war, in the name of exercises, forcibly requisitioned a batch of buses from the bus terminal for the transportation of troops. Even if the stationmaster of the bus station has a problem with himself and wants to complain to his superiors, he will have to postpone it to Monday because it is a Saturday and a rest day. As for Monday, when the war had already broken out, the stationmaster would not have complained as long as he was not an idiot, but on the contrary, he would have provided himself with more vehicles for the transportation of troops free of charge.

After making up his mind, he picked up the phone on the table, and originally wanted to call the representative of the station army, but after thinking about it, the other party was a low-ranking officer, and suddenly received a call from himself, the commander of the garrison, maybe he would be frightened, so he asked his immediate boss to inform him to forget it. Thinking of this, Tang Shaohua dialed the phone number of the logistics office, and after identifying himself, he bluntly instructed the other party: "Please call the military representative at the station and ask him to come to my office immediately." ”

After more than ten minutes, someone outside knocked on the door lightly twice, and without waiting for Tang Shaohua to speak, he pushed the door open. Appearing at the door was an officer on duty outside the door, who respectfully reported to Tang Shaohua: "Comrade army commander, comrade military representative at the station has arrived. ”

"Let him in!" Tang Shaohua commanded simply.

"Yes!" The officer said yes, turned and walked out. Soon a young and well-dressed lieutenant walked into the room, raised his hand to salute Tang Shaohua, and reported loudly: "Comrade Commander of the garrison, Lieutenant Vasya, the representative of the station army, has been ordered to come, I am waiting for your orders, please instruct!" ”

Tang Shaohua sat down and nodded, pointed to a chair in front of the table and said, "Please sit!" ”

After Lieutenant Vasya took a seat in the chair opposite, Tang Shaohua looked at him and asked, "Comrade Lieutenant, how long have you been the representative of the station army?" ”

Lieutenant Vasya stood up suddenly, straightened his back and replied: "Comrade Commander, I have been at the station for more than a year now. ”

Tang Shaohua raised his hand and pressed it down, and said to him, "Sit down." After Vasya sat down again, he asked, "Since you have been a military representative for more than a year, you must know the situation at the station very well. How many vehicles are currently available at the stations in the city? ”

Tang Shaohua saw that Vaxia wanted to get up and answer his question again, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop him: "Comrade lieutenant, you don't have to stand up, just sit down and answer." ”

The young Lieutenant Vasya didn't read any information, and opened his mouth to say the data that Tang Shaohua wanted to know: "There are currently a total of 117 buses at the station, of which 40 are on five bus lines in the city, 60 are to and from surrounding cities, and 17 are dedicated to traveling between Moscow and Kiev, twice a week......

After listening to Vasya's report, Tang Shaohua nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that as long as half of the vehicles can be detained, reaching 50 vehicles, 50 platoons of troops can be transported at a time, so that the time for putting troops on the battlefield can be greatly shortened, so that our army will have a greater advantage in the early stage of the battle.

Tang Shaohua looked at Vasya, who was sitting in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Comrade Lieutenant, I have an important task to be entrusted to you, can you complete it?" ”

Vaxia looked at Tang Shaohua with a surprised expression, and asked in a proper manner: "Comrade commander, can I ask what the task is?" ”

"Yes," Tang Shaohua nodded and said, "After a while, we will hold a division-level military exercise." The content of the exercise is to assume that the enemy has crossed our national border, and it is necessary to draw troops from here to meet them. Comrade Lieutenant, you also know that the distance from us to the national border, if on foot, the commanders and fighters have to walk for at least one day and one night, so I considered transferring some buses from the station to transport troops. ”

After listening to Tang Shaohua's words, Vaxia frowned and thought for a while, then cautiously asked, "Comrade Commander, may I ask on what day the exercise will be held?" ”

"The exercises will begin in the early hours of June 22." In order to allow Vasya to have time to arrange vehicles to transport troops, Tang Shaohua deliberately set the time of the non-existent exercise and the start of the war at one day, "so you must prepare at least 50 buses for the troops on June 21." ”

Tang Shaohua's words made Vasya's face show an expression of embarrassment, he stood up and said with a sad face: "Comrade commander, I may not be able to complete the task you have assigned, you must know that June 21 is a Saturday, it is a weekend, and most of the residents in the city will leave the city to go to the suburbs or other cities, and the bus has become their main means of transportation. If we requisition a large number of civilian vehicles at such a time, it may cause protests or complaints. ”

"Comrade Lieutenant," Tang Shaohua said with a blank face and obvious dissatisfaction, "Have you ever wondered if it is a real war, will the enemy postpone the date of the war because it is Saturday and our rest day?" As a military man, you should have understood this a long time ago, Comrade Lieutenant. ”

At this moment, Vasya understood how inappropriate the question he had asked had put himself in such an awkward position. He even feared for his future fate, fearing that the stern garrison commander in front of him would immediately remove him from his post and send himself to an insignificant position in the middle of nowhere. So, he immediately stood up and bowed his head to Tang Shaohua to admit his mistake: "Comrade commander, I was wrong. I didn't think it through, and when I went back, I started to prepare. ”

Seeing that Vaxia had bowed his head and admitted his mistake, Tang Shaohua didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, since this matter is to be kept strictly confidential, you don't need to do anything for the time being. As long as there are 50 buses in the station on June 21, it will be enough. ”

Although Vasya lowered his head and stared at the ground thinking, he could feel Tang Shaohua's gaze looking at him, as if he kept asking in a silent language: "Comrade Lieutenant, can you handle this matter?" If I can't, I'll have to change to someone else. Under this invisible pressure, Vasya finally gritted his teeth and replied for the sake of his own future: "Comrade commander, please rest assured that on June 21 and 22, I will definitely use my rights to make the number of public cars parked in the station reach the number you need." ”

Regarding Vasya's reply, Tang Shaohua nodded with satisfaction. After a pause, he asked briefly with some unease, "Is there really no problem?" ”

Vasya was silent for a moment, then shook his head and replied in a firm tone: "No problem, Comrade Commander." ”
