Report

Bro, the water is so deep and dirty. Should we wait for them to pump it dry before we go in?

Huang Tao followed behind Rolans with an umbrella. Rolans turned around to look at Huang Tao and said slowly, "I can't wait to live in the construction site for 24 hours. Brother Huang Tao, we don't have much time left!"

After saying that, Rolans jumped into the waist-deep trench and started to check on the progress of the trench construction.

Here … here … and here … dig deeper. Bruce, how's the preparation of the protective sandbags?

How many sandbags are piled up outside?

After hearing Rolans's question, Bruce, who was supervising the construction from a high place, saluted with a very exaggerated gesture. "Reporting to Mr. Lieutenant, under my supervision, no one is slacking off. I have completed the tasks you assigned to me every day. This is my construction report with my and Clark's signatures."

Rolans took the report and read it carefully. After reading it for about five minutes, he nodded in satisfaction.

Roland had deliberately made this record in order to better solve the problems in the work, to prevent skimping on materials and fraud. This record had to be signed by two people every day, so that the quality of the work could be better achieved and the quality of the work could be monitored. After reading this report, Roland checked the food record of the work site before leaving the place.

The food at the construction site was also one of the jobs that Rolans was concerned about. Digging trenches and building defenses were very hard work. Because of the hard work, the workers had to be given enough nutrition and rest. Such a simple thing was very difficult to do in this era and in this war-torn country.

People who made money from the country's troubles were playing out every day in this country. For their own benefits, they would always look for opportunities to take advantage of the country and others. They would not even let go of their own relatives! Rolans was well aware of this, so he sent people to strictly manage the food.

There was fish and meat every day. The fish was fresh from the river and sea. Canned luncheon meat could be provided in large quantities and it didn't cost money to eat. After all, the United States produced a large amount of luncheon meat during World War II. Just the stock alone could last until the 1970s.

What? Didn't I provide you with the chicken, duck, and fish?

As for the poached chicken, poached duck, and the delicious roasted chicken and roasted duck, brother, wake up, the foreman is calling you to carry bricks! It's already good enough that you have something to eat, yet you're still being so picky.

Lunch was sometimes rice or French bread, seasoned with mint or lemon and fish sauce. After the meal, each person could get three plantains or a piece of watermelon.

In terms of nutrition, Rolans thought of something awesome. That thing was the food that the US Army hated the most during World War II, military chocolate …

Originally, chocolate was a very delicious food. The US military was afraid that the soldiers would finish eating the delicious chocolate before going to the battlefield, so they secretly added something to it. In order to increase the unpleasantness of the chocolate, the military instructed the logistics department to increase the amount of corn flour, coagulant, and sweetener in the chocolate. After the modification, the chocolate became hard and tasted terrible. Of course! This was also what the military wanted to see.

During World War II, this kind of food was called the most unpopular military food by the US soldiers. Although it was not delicious, it could be stored for a long time. If it was stored in a freezer, it could be stored for 100 years without a problem. At room temperature, its shelf life was up to three years.

Although it had many advantages, it still had its disadvantages. It couldn't be eaten in very cold areas, and it couldn't be eaten when you were very hungry. If you ate it like that, your teeth would be chewing off a few pieces.

It was not difficult for Rolans to apply for and get this kind of junk food because no one liked it. It was stored as food for the nuclear war. Now that someone asked for it, it could reduce the stock and increase the profits of the food company. Why not?

Boss, boss, wait! Clark, wearing a raincoat, walked quickly toward Rolans on the muddy water.

There are a few people who want to see you. They seem to have a New Jersey accent! Rolans was a little confused. Why are the New Jerseyans looking for me?

I don't know, boss. Do you want to see them? They said it was about engineering and construction.

What benefits did they give you?

Hearing this, Clark scratched his head embarrassedly. Boss is indeed boss. I can't hide anything from you. They gave me 100 dollars.

No way, I was bribed with only 100 dollars? Is your bottom line so low …?

It's just a joke! Roland patted Clark, who was a little uneasy. "Since you're short of money, I'll meet them. Lead the way!" Clark blushed and quickly led the way for Rolans.

Sir! I've caught a suspicious person. Hearing the shout, Rolans looked back. What's going on today? Why are there so many things going on?

Where is the person you've caught locked up? Sir, we've locked him up in the barracks waiting for you to deal with him!

Okay, take me to him. Clark, tell the guests to wait. I'll be there soon.

In the dark barracks, Wan Zhongyuan sat uneasily on the ground. His hands and head were covered in thick bandages. He looked very disheveled.

Sir is here!

With a loud shout, the door was pushed open. Wan Zhongyuan looked up and found that it was a few heavily armed Americans who entered the door. Then his eyes immediately lit up.

It's him!

The guard pointed at Wan Zhongyuan, who was sitting on the ground, and moved a stool in front of him. After that, the guard saluted and left.

Roland took off the raincoat she was wearing and carefully placed it on the stool. Then, she sat down. Who are you? Why are you here? Wan Zhongyuan looked at Rolans blankly for a while. Suddenly, he stood up and said excitedly, Sir, are you the supreme commander here? Huang Tao, who was standing next to Rolans, was shocked by his action. She reached for her gun and shouted, Who told you to stand up? Sit down obediently.
