As the most complete military organization in the world, the Alfheim Defense Force is second to none in terms of complex structure.

the General Staff, which mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops on maps and sand tables;

the three armies that show their powers on land, sea, and sky;

intelligence services operating at the front or behind enemy lines;

In comparison, the logistics department is really an inconspicuous yamen, at least in the eyes of the hot-blooded elven youths who lack sufficient understanding of military affairs and are eager to establish meritorious deeds on the battlefield. Rookies who serve in the military every year rarely sigh when they see that the column on the enlistment notice reports that the army is filled in with the logistics department.

In the same way, they are in charge of logistics, but outside of Alfheim, there is a fat gap between the heads and brains of various countries, and people with non-powerful backgrounds are not allowed to enter the logistics management department -- after all, everyone is eager for corruption, and they still have to fight for it. Generally speaking, if you look at the surname of the big boss of the logistics department, it is always the same as the big man in the government and the army.

This kind of thing is not visible in the defense forces that have completely nationalized the army, and those who first enter the management level of the logistics department will go through strict background checks, and a clerk in charge of knocking on stamps is likely to be thoroughly checked from the experience of eight generations of ancestors to ordinary interpersonal relationships before taking up his post. Relying on this means, the internal friction of cronyism and the leader of the small hill faction was prevented to the greatest extent. In the future, it is extremely difficult to cheat, fish and mix, and engage in corruption in the account books in daily work. You must know that the elves now have the world's top accounting team, in front of those professionals who usually help the high-ranking officials and nobles of the human race to make false accounts. Playing the numbers game and playing sloppy is pure death. In addition, the headquarters of the Logistics Department and its subordinate units also have personnel from the Stasi, the gendarmerie, and the spy department of the General Staff stationed in the station, and once any corruption and dereliction of duty occurs, it is these chain dogs who are the first to be held criminally responsible. Want to take a nap in this high-pressure work environment where people are pressed? Well, the sun is good on the execution ground today.

The work pressure is high, the opportunities for promotion are few, and if you want to engage in corruption, you have to risk your life anytime and anywhere. It is conceivable what kind of impact it will have on the elven youths of service age to report to the logistics department.

Of course, for an outlier like Parsifal, the logistics department is more suitable for him to play than to toss the body that barely meets the physical fitness standard of the front-line troops. Handle all kinds of paperwork at your desk and make phone calls from other departments more than anyone else. Occasionally, I encounter a problem of on-site scheduling. He is also always able to communicate and solve problems beautifully, and he is rewarded by his boss afterwards and bathes in the envious eyes of his colleagues. In the words of his colleagues and superiors, he came up to become an officer in the logistics department.

Desks, coffee, stamps, ink, stationery, telephones, telex, typewriters, printer paper – life in the back office today is impeccable to Parsifal. In the foreseeable future. There will also be another star or an extra bar on the shoulder. There will also be a number of beautiful exclusive female secretaries around. A qiē will become more perfect......

However, the planned life is still far away, and the familiar office is now more than 1,000 kilometers away from me. There were no desks or stamps at hand, just the muddy roads of the United Rus' Principality in early spring and the furry bear GIs riding on the backs of Behemoth.

When his immediate superior, Lieutenant Colonel Franz Herber, held his hands, his expression was solemn and solemn, and he told him sincerely: "This is the trust of the General Staff and the Logistics Department in you, and it is also a test for you. Lieutenant. He even almost felt bad when he almost changed his rank to an even more ambiguous title, "comrade." Before he could verbally thank the organization and his superiors for their trust and cultivation in him, the bastard lieutenant colonel slipped a business trip order into his hand, and Parsifal went to the place where everyone in the logistics department avoided as much as possible.

Perhaps the people of the Armored Corps, the Aviation Corps, and the General Armament Department like the deserted plains, where they can toss their toys to their heart's content, but the United Principality of Rus is a place of exile for the Logistics Department of the Defense Forces.

The main business of the logistics department, to put it bluntly, is actually logistics work, for them, road conditions, geology, and weather are important issues that have to be paid attention to.

The country's winters are long and cold, and at the coldest of winter, plants such as fir and pine trees can even crack due to low temperatures, and the gear oil of the vehicle's transmission will freeze like rubber. And after the snow melts in early spring, there is mud everywhere, and the whole country becomes a big quagmire. In such an extreme environment, the cost of road repair and maintenance will increase significantly, and incidentally it will also cause problems for troops to be mobilized and logistics.

The Duchy also had a solution to this problem by leaving all the road construction work to the captive human slave laborers, who did not have to pay their salaries, and did not have to pay additional expenses such as pensions if they died on the job. The only problem is this: slave labor is not very productive due to poor treatment and racial hatred. However, with the help of the leather whip and the human head, this problem can be regarded as being solved in a certain way.

Even so, the Principality's infrastructure is not flattering due to technological and corruption.

Needless to say, the technical level is naturally not enough, and the army of slave laborers who can't do it with a shovel in their hands can't do it with a grudge, and the roads they build are naturally not durable. As for corruption...... Whenever the elders make a resolution and carry out one or two projects, the construction funds will also be embezzled and misappropriated in large quantities. The funds for the construction of 100 kilometers of standard official roads often end up with 10 kilometers of praise for the power of the Mother Goddess.

In this kind of place that is inferior to the primeval forest, it is necessary to rack your brains if you want to send a box of bearings to the front-line troops, and it is really an out-and-out hell for the logistics department.

Despite all the problems, trade between the V.E Company and the Principality continued. The Principality exported grain, timber, and ore to companies in exchange for tea, sugar, salt, vodka, alcohol, medicines, weapons, and other consumer goods. In particular, the first three commodities are not produced or rarely produced in the Principality due to geographical circumstances, and all rely on foreign imports or plunder. With the exception of the V.E Company, no merchant could meet the huge needs of the entire principality, while at the same time providing goods of high quality and low price. In order to meet the demand for raw materials and agricultural products, and at the same time to carry out diplomatic compromise in disguise, the company also needed the cooperation of the principality, and both sides hit it off and were very satisfied with this trade model.

Tea, sugar, salt, tobacco, and alcohol accounted for a considerable proportion of the goods escorted this time, but unlike in the past, there were also a large number of other supplies and letters to the garrison troops of the Defence Forces on the freight list. Therefore, according to the custom, the headquarters of the logistics department was required to send a special officer to coordinate the transfer work, so Lieutenant Parsifal, who was highly respected, was selected and sent to the Brest fortress area, thousands of miles away.

The giant beast bigger than the locomotive swayed, stepping over one mud pit after another, and the elven boy on the back of the giant beast looked up at the sky, and once again greeted all the female relatives in the bastard lieutenant colonel's house.

"Relax, little friend, life here is not as miserable as it seems back home. ”

Captain Helmut Murat munched on a compressed biscuit with a relaxed expression.

Stationed in the United Principality of Rus' for more than three years, the rookies sent by the headquarters to hone in and away were ushered in and sent away, and the constipated faces of the newcomers were also seen too much.

Naturally, the mood cannot be too good when it is distributed from the office of the logistics headquarters to such a wild place, but the logistics department is also a part of the military system after all, and what is needed is not a word processor that can only knock stamps and answer the phone. It is impossible for a nerd who has not experienced the transportation process on the ground and whose knowledge of the on-site dispatching environment is only on words, and is not competent for the important position.

Whenever there is a young talent with development potential in the logistics department, the department head will draw up a detailed list, and then regularly arrange for the officers on the list to go to various places to carry out transportation and dispatch operations in the name of "business trips", and accept the assessment of the local logistics department without knowing it. According to the results of the assessment, the future development is determined.

This time it was Parsifal's turn, and the examiner was Murat.

"Well, those furry friends have a lot of problems, but if you master their habits and thinking, those guys are actually quite talkative. ”

"It's the ...... The experience of the seniors?"

"Well, sort of. Why? Why?

"No, just heard something similar in school in the past. ”

"Alas, those elm heads who love to talk all day long are actually enlightened? They won't go under the knife this day, will they?"

Holding up the pergola with his hands and looking at the sky, Murat's pale pupils were not a sign of change, only white clouds and spring sunshine.

There was a cynical exaggeration in the words and expressions, but only someone like Parsifal who had experienced military school life knew what an unbelievable fact it was.

"'If you don't observe from the other person's perspective, point of view, or way of thinking, you can't understand the other person after all' - this is what my classmate said. ”

"That's a pretty clever idea......

Surprised by the facts, the frivolity disappeared from Murat's face, and before he wanted to say something more, the sharp-eyed Murat saw that the team in front of him had slowed down, and a gust of spring breeze blew the quick and urgent tongue curling sound of the bear orcs.

"How...... What's wrong?"

Parsifal leaned over and reached into his briefcase with his right hand.

In the event of an emergency, there is no doubt that it is correct to touch the gun first, but in Murat's opinion, it is doubtful whether this nervous little rookie remembers to open the safety before shooting and how to aim when shooting.

"Put your guns away, lieutenant. ”

He whispered, then a wry smile.

"If we're in a little trouble, maybe we'll be a little late to the fortress. ”

With a sharp gaze reminiscent of a carnivorous bird of prey, Parsifal nodded hesitantly, and just as he pulled his hand out of his bag, a rapid Chinese shout came from ahead. (To be continued......)
