Zhang Tie only stayed in the repair shop for one morning. By the afternoon, the Tiejiao Legion Logistics Department's report on last night's attack had been distributed to various agencies and departments below. The Ninth Equipment Section also received it. A formal briefing on the situation came in time. When many people in Brape were panicking and talking because of the loud noise and fire last night, this briefing suddenly made many people nervous. Calm down.
In all times, what people fear is not facts and truth, but concealment and deception.
In the situation report Zhang Tie saw, there was a detailed description of last night's attack...
What attacked Brape last night was a camouflaged Paradise-class war airship of the Sun Dynasty. This airship bypassed the air defense line on the Karur front last night and dropped an explosive on Brape. , blowing up an important logistics warehouse in Brape. The explosion and the subsequent fire caused a total of 116 casualties in the Iron Horn Legion. The war airship of the Sun God Dynasty was subsequently destroyed and crashed. A total of 27 Suns were found on the airship. The bodies of the soldiers of the Sun Dynasty airship, as well as an unknown number of dangerous elements of the Sun Dynasty, estimated to be between 11 and 15 people, absconded after the airship crashed. These people were helped by the Sun Dynasty spies hiding in Brape. Next, it is possible that they have sneaked back to Brape and are preparing to carry out sabotage activities. The imperial soldiers stationed in Brape are now hunting for these dangerous elements. If anyone can provide clues about these people, once confirmed, the Iron Horn Legion Logistics Department A huge reward of 2,000 gold coins will be provided...
The huge reward of 2,000 gold coins in the notification is certainly exciting, but when it comes to gold coins, Zhang Tie just discovered today that the ninth equipment section managed by his little lieutenant section chief is so rich that it simply exceeds his ability. Imagine. After Lieutenant Piping took out the accounts of the Equipment Department and told Zhang Tie some of the secrets, Zhang Tie knew what the "interesting" part of this position was.
The "secret" of the Ninth Equipment Section lies in the "disposal of scrapped goods" here. According to the Norman Empire military's management regulations on troop logistics equipment, in order to ensure the quality and capabilities of the troop's logistics transportation, many parts of the logistics troop's equipment vehicles are In addition to daily use damage, large components such as engines and engines also have a maximum service life limit. Once the maximum service life is reached, they are forced to be scrapped. Replace it with new parts and components. The oil, water and gray income of the Ninth Equipment Division lies in the cars and various parts and components of the cars that can be scrapped according to regulations when they reach their maximum service life.
Although many of those parts and components have reached their maximum service life, they are not unusable. For example, the steam engine of a car has a maximum service life of ten years stipulated by the army. But in fact, if maintained well, many steam engines can be used for more than fifteen years. Although they are not used by troops with strict quality requirements for military products, those things are very popular among the civilians, which also gives the third Nine Equipment Division has huge profit margins.
The largest legal income of the Ninth Equipment Division is to assemble and resell various auto parts and components that can be treated as scrap metal according to regulations when they have reached the mandatory scrap date, and even renovate and assemble the vehicles. This part of the income of the Ninth Equipment Section is not only known to the people in the Ninth Equipment Section, but also to several major officers of the Legion Logistics Department. This is something that is tacitly approved by the superiors. Why acquiesce. Because in order to obtain this income, from another perspective, it is necessary for the Ninth Equipment Department to maintain all the cars in the entire logistics department very well in normal times. Those cars and car parts will not be used until they are forced to be scrapped. You can continue to use it to maximize its remaining value. This is also a means of rewarding and stimulating the serious work of the lower departments tacitly approved by the army's logistics ministers. The better you do, the more you get.
attached to this chain of interests. There are three main parties. The Ninth Equipment Section is one party. The Ninth Equipment Section's direct superior, the Comprehensive Logistics Support Office of the Iron Horn Legion Logistics Department, is one party. The third party is an imperial business group that has long-term cooperation with the Iron Horn Legion Logistics Department.
The Ninth Equipment Section is responsible for the refurbishment, restoration and assembly of scrapped vehicles and vehicle parts. Several officers from the Comprehensive Logistics Support Division of the Legion Logistics Department are responsible for selling these refurbished vehicles and parts that can still be used, in cooperation with the Legion Logistics Department. The imperial business group is responsible for receiving the goods. This process has formed a profit distribution and working model like an assembly line, in which all three parties can benefit.
After knowing the "mystery" of this, Zhang Tie couldn't help but have a greatly changed impression of the entire Norman Empire. In addition to the strict hierarchical system, this empire was actually also flexible in other places outside of this system. Of course, people's profit-seeking nature is the same no matter which country they are in.
As the Ninth Equipment Division fighting on the front line, 60% of the profits can be shared, and 40% of the profits are taken away by the above. This 60% profit is in the Ninth The allocation model of the Equipment Section is that all soldiers below account for half, that is, 30%. The deputy to the chief of the Ninth Equipment Section, Second Lieutenant Piping, who is usually responsible for factory management and solving various specific problems, can share the profits. 10%, and the section chief of the Ninth Equipment Section can share 20% of the profit.
After many years of practice, this 4321 distribution model is a model that can satisfy everyone in this interest chain.
Zhang Tiecai has been in the position of section chief for less than two weeks. His profit sharing in the Ninth Equipment Section has reached over twenty-one gold coins, which is many times higher than his lieutenant salary, and Taking it openly, Zhang Tie knew that Colonel Stuka really found a good position for himself for the sake of his contribution to the Iron-Blooded Battalion.
After staying in the factory for a day, Zhang Tie discovered that he could actually learn things in many places in the Iron Horn Legion. When he was in the Iron Blood Camp, he could learn how to fight and kill people. He can still learn a lot from the Nine Equipment Section.
From the attitude of the logistics ministers towards the Ninth Equipment Section, he learned how superiors manage subordinates. The system can be rigid, but management can be flexible. Everything just depends on the choice and attitude of the decision-maker. The Logistics Department Of course, the officers can choose another approach, such as asking the Ninth Equipment Division to hand over all the various parts and cars that have been scrapped by the end of life. But if they really do this, I am afraid that what will be turned over will really be They are scrapped products, and the vehicles of the entire Iron Horn Legion Logistics Department must have many more accidents due to improper maintenance than they do now. Anyway, as long as there is a problem, you can apply for replacement of new parts and equipment here, and let the superiors directly allocate them. , who has the time to lie under the car and smell the oil all day long
And in that gray chain of interests, he learned the secret to making something prosperous. This secret is teamwork and profit distribution. If one person can't do something, then pull a group of people to do it. If everyone can get the benefits they deserve from their efforts, then this matter can be done for a long time.
In addition, the most solid and practical thing you can learn in the Ninth Equipment Section is two words - repair!
After just taking off his lieutenant's uniform and wearing a vest and spending an afternoon in the repair shop below with the technical sergeants repairing vehicles, Zhang Tie felt that the practical skills he had learned were better than what he had learned after three years in school. More and more solid. In just one afternoon, Zhang Tie learned how to replace the car's tires and main drive shaft, and also had a general understanding of vehicle maintenance.
Even Zhang Tie doesn't know how his reputation as "Second Lieutenant Mummy" spread to the Ninth Equipment Division. With such a special reputation, and Zhang Tie doesn't have the airs of a superior, he is also kind to people, and he doesn't understand when he encounters someone. He was able to humbly ask for advice from those who knew him directly, just like when he arrived at the Iron Blood Camp. In just one day, Zhang Tie became close to the people in the Ninth Equipment Section from top to bottom. Everyone in the Ninth Equipment Section knew that the new lieutenant section chief was an interesting guy.
Zhang Tie stayed at the logistics base for a whole day before leaving at dusk. On this day, Zhang Tie felt that his stay was not in vain. When he arrived, he came empty-handed, and when he left, he had gold coins on his body and learned in his head. Quite a few things.
Because he wanted to buy beer yeast and prepare some gifts for Hannah, and Zhang Tie also wanted to see what else could be redeemed with money in Brape, so Zhang Tie did not take the car, but walked from This logistics base came out. He was going to have a nice stroll in Brape...
What Zhang Tie didn't know was that in the farmland on the roadside near the logistics base, two people wearing straw hats and looking like they were bent over working were dressed as farmers. After he walked out of the base, his four eyes suddenly opened. Just stared at him.
A young man, and a lieutenant at that, can come and go here freely...
Judging from the way he walks and his strength, he doesn't seem to have much strength...
In the Norman Empire, logistics officers did not need to be very powerful...
Do it or not…
Let’s touch his bottom first. Now these red-skinned dogs are more anxious than us. We have been lurking in Brape for so long. This time we must do something big...
The two farmers did not speak, but exchanged glances with each other. The two of them had already conveyed a lot of meaning...
…
Zhang Tie didn't know that he had been targeted.
After hiring a Homestead to drive him around Brape for a long time, Zhang Tie bought a pack of beer yeast in a store. When he got the pack of beer yeast in his hand, Zhang Tie suddenly remembered I learned something. By the way, couldn't I generate a kind of yeast in the Black Iron Castle? That kind of yeast, my mother said before, can also be used to brew some low-alcohol drinks. Why not give it to Hannah to try? What about for a while
