My Courtyard Refuge

Baguettes

At half past five, the meeting officially began.

Director Ji first made a summary of everyone’s work in the past three days.

Xu Dong received key praises, and he basically couldn’t find any faults. As for the others, they either did things sloppily, or had poor ability to do things, and had little success.

“Okay, everyone has to learn the lesson seriously. It will be good for you to go to work in the future. I’m done talking here. It’s up to you whether you listen or not.”

“Director, I’m sure I’ll listen.” Everyone replied in haste.

As for how sincere, this is unknown.

Director Ji knocked on the table, waited for everyone to quiet down, and then asked other police officers in the bureau to join the meeting, and the small conference room was packed with people in an instant.

“Now that everyone is here, I will introduce the mission.”

Everyone sat upright.

“Tomorrow is the 5th, and until the 15th, we have only one task, and that is to guard the coastline of Jiaozhou Bay, from Dagu River in the west to Longhai Road in the east, and not let anyone ashore.”

“Director, we don’t have patrol boats.”

“We don’t need to take care of the sea affairs, just guard the coastline.” Director Ji waved his hand.

Someone complained: “This section of coastline is about five kilometers long, do we have enough people?”

===Section 132===

“I asked Xiao Xu and the others to expand the patrol team. At present, more than 1,500 people have been recruited, and the manpower is definitely enough.”

Among these people, almost one-third were recruited by Xu Dong. When he offered to pay out of his own pocket, Director Ji gritted his teeth and accepted them all, and did not ask Xu Dong to pay.

“That’s all right.”

The next step is to assign specific tasks, first of all, Xu Dong and his eight support staff.

The five-kilometer coastline is divided into four sections in total, and each team is responsible for one section in groups of two.

After the tasks were assigned, Director Ji then changed the subject and specifically instructed Xu Dong:

“Xiao Xu, I will leave the coastline to you. You will be the squad leader, and the other three teams will follow your command.”

“Director, you should direct it yourself. I am inexperienced, and it will be bad if something goes wrong.” Xu Dong quickly declined.

Director Ji shook his head: “I have other tasks here. Since it is a big investigation, it is not as simple as you think.”

Defending the coastline is the easiest job, so Director Ji handed over all the tasks to Xu Dong and others, and there are more difficult tasks in the bureau.

With no room for rejection, Xu Dong could only agree.

“Okay, there’s nothing for you to do next, you guys go out, and discuss tomorrow’s work arrangements by the way.”

“Yes.” Eight people left the meeting room one after another.Finding a small room, Xu Dong simply arranged the work. He evenly distributed the patrol team of nearly 1,600 people to four groups, each with about 400 people.

As for the specific inspection plan, there is nothing to say about it. Director Ji just explained that it must be implemented according to the standard of ten meters per post and two people per post.

“Xiao Meng, Xiao Hu, you two are girls, so you don’t have to be responsible for the night shift, you should all work on the day shift!”

“Thank you monitor.”

It took a little effort, and Xu Dong quickly arranged the shift. As the monitor, he arranged night shifts for himself.

After all, the sight is good during the day, and the task is light; at night, it is more troublesome, not only the temperature is low, but also more likely to encounter danger.

…

The next morning, Xu Dong set off with a mighty 800 people, each holding a long stick in his hand.

Fighting at close range as soon as you come up is something that only fools can do.

After all the personnel were in place, Xu Dong went back after patrolling along the coastline. After all, he had to work the night shift at night and needed to recharge his batteries.

During the first day, nothing happened.

At night, the entire coastline has almost become a long dragon.

“Xiao Zhang, I will leave one group to you for the time being. Call me anytime if there is a situation. I will go to other groups.” Xu Dong handed out a few cigarettes to the other party.

“Don’t worry, Brother Xu.”

Xiao Zhang looked excited, it was the first time for him to manage so many people.

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he rode an electric bike and began to patrol along the coastline. The electric bike was just obtained from Director Ji in the morning, and the price was a pack of cigarettes.

If he only relied on walking, even if he was exhausted, he wouldn’t be able to make a few rounds.

When he sees someone dozing off on the road, he will honk the horn to remind him that the subsidy for the night shift is twice that of the day shift, and this money cannot be spent in vain.

When they came to the Dagu River, Xu Dong handed a cigarette to Lao Qin, the leader of the fourth group. Lao Qin was only two years younger than him. Among the eight people, the two walked the closest because of their similar age.

“Old Qin, is there anything wrong with you here?”

Lao Qin shook his head: “I didn’t even see a ghost. I just asked my old colleagues on Qindao. They only started to act in the afternoon. We don’t think there will be any movement until tomorrow.”

“Really? Tell me quickly, what’s going on over there?” After a long night, Xu Dong suddenly became interested.

Lao Qin took the last puff of his cigarette without haste, then stamped out the cigarette butt, stretched out his hand and said, “One more cigarette, I’ll tell you slowly, I’m sure it will be a big deal.”

Xu Dong simply stuffed the rest of the cigarettes to the other party.

“Interesting enough.” Lao Qin skillfully lit a cigarette and took a puff, “Do you know how many people they arrested this afternoon?”

“How much?” Xu Dong asked cooperatively.

Lao Qin stretched out a finger.

“one thousand?”

“It’s more than 10,000. Qindao has almost mobilized more than a hundred thousand people. One thousand people is too childish.”

“Damn, so many, where did you get them?” Xu Dong hurriedly asked.

Lao Qin sighed, “Most of them were found in the industrial zone. These people work hard and don’t need wages. They only need a bite to eat. Which boss doesn’t like it?”

“Uh, where did they get the food?”

“Well, it’s food, but it’s actually some wheat bran, rice bran, and straw that no one eats, plus a little bit of miscellaneous grains and flour, and finally mixed together to make bread. I heard it’s so hard that it can break your teeth.”

Xu Dong suddenly remembered his previous life. During that most difficult time, his family also ate this kind of bread for more than a year.

At that time, because this kind of bread was long, everyone gave it a vivid name, called baguette.

“These big bosses are really smart. If they do this, they really don’t need much food.” Xu Dong said with emotion.

“They also learned from our neighbors to the south, where they have already started grazing.”

After Lao Qin finished speaking, he burst out laughing.

Xu Dong felt that it was a bit funny, he laughed at others now, but when he grazes himself, he wonders if he can still laugh.

“Okay, don’t laugh, maybe we will also eat grass in the future?”

“Old Xu, don’t be joking, we have built so many plant factories in our country, how can we be short of food?” Lao Qin shook his head.

Xu Dongshun explained: “There are more than a billion people, I’m afraid no amount is enough.”
