Hu Pingtao had a smile on his face: "What?"

"I have taken a fancy to two things on Taobao. Give me your mobile phone later and I want to place an order." Su Xiaolin said seriously.

"What do you want to buy?" Hu Pingtao had no idea this was a trap.

"The washboard, and the computer keyboard."

Su Xiaolin laughed so hard that her branches trembled: "There must be rules in the family. From now on they will be the family law. If you make me unhappy, hehehehehe..."

Looking at his beautiful and charming wife, Hu Pingtao shuddered a little.

…

A month later, at the border of Yunnan Province, at the Xiluo checkpoint.

Hu Pingtao led a team of ten people to patrol along prescribed routes in the hot and humid rainforest.

Before the vacation was over, I received an order from the provincial department and was urgently transferred to the Xiluo Border Inspection Station to serve as the captain.

In response to the problem of large-scale poppy cultivation by the "Northern Security Army", Hu Pingtao completed the last mission very well and almost successfully. Unfortunately, due to the special mission, the awards could not be announced. After repeated efforts by Ran Hongjun, Xiong Jie and others,

The superior decided to give Hu Pingtao a special reward with an exceptional promotion.

His current police rank is Superintendent III, deputy section level.

On the third day of his wedding, he filled out the party application form.

Among them are the urgings from his parents, the advice from his father-in-law, and more importantly, Hu Pingtao’s own sense of responsibility and understanding of the future.

Xiluo is located on the southwest border. There is also no winter here. The annual minimum temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius. Now is the hottest time of the year.

Although the dark black SWAT training uniform is a summer style, it still feels hot when wearing it. The body armor is worn on the outside, and the armed belt is filled with full magazines, plus a helmet, a standard rifle, and various necessities.

Things are so heavy that in this sweltering environment, it often makes people feel like they are out of breath.

The word "border" is just a winding line on the map.

In reality, it requires border guards to walk back and forth countless times on mountain roads, streams, Gobi deserts, rain forests...

Combat boots are thick and heavy, which are two different concepts from ordinary rubber boots. Although they are stuffy and hot when worn on the feet, they are a must-have for patrolling in the mountains and forests. They can prevent punctures and also have a strong protective function for ankles.

Li Baiyun: The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

The further southwest you go, the harder the road becomes.

The terrain of Yunnan Province is more complex than that of Shu, with dense mountains and forests and numerous rivers. Many places are inaccessible and can only be climbed up from slightly gentler terrain. There used to be an old movie "The Bell Rings in the Mountains and the Caravan Comes", which talks about the southwest

In the border areas, many villages have no roads to connect with the outside world, so they can only use horse caravans to transport goods.

Construction is going on all over the country, but the borders do not enjoy such benefits. The complex terrain and dense forests are, to a certain extent, also a good protective barrier, which will most likely reduce the number of foreign infiltrators.

There are traps everywhere in the old forest, as well as all kinds of blood-sucking insects, poisonous snakes, and wild beasts... This kind of place is not to mention an adventure hunter. Even well-prepared outdoor sports enthusiasts have a high chance of getting lost.

Die inside.

There are three patrol routes, but the time and frequency are not fixed. The reason for doing this is mainly to target smuggling and drug traffickers who cross the border illegally.

Barbed wire fences have been set up in the border forest area, and traps have even been dug and bamboo sticks buried in some strategic locations. Although the border inspection station is busy with daily tasks, it still has to deploy personnel to form patrol teams and conduct repeated inspections. This work is very important and has received support from the border defense forces.

Strong support, they provide help in terms of material supply, resting places for personnel, etc., which greatly reduces the burden on the border inspection station.

In the evening, the patrol team returned to the border inspection station.

Hu Pingtao unloaded his equipment in the weapons management room, took off his body armor, walked outside, unbuttoned his training clothes, and opened his clothes. It felt like he had escaped from the terrible steamer and returned to the cool human world.

The most important material carried by the patrol team is water. The water in the mountains is not drinkable, and the streams are densely covered with locusts and mosquitoes. A casual bite will most likely turn a minor injury into a serious one.

"Three mosquitoes make one dish," this saying is both an exaggeration and a terrifying portrayal of reality.

After taking a shower and drinking two large bottles of water, Hu Pingtao felt less hot. Although he was sweating, it was a normal secretion of body fluids; unlike in the mountains, what oozed out from the body surface was not sweat at all, but the front of his body.

The amount of water you drink from your mouth in one minute.

This hard work must continue.

Drug traffickers are desperadoes. For money, they will do anything.

Here, armed cross-border drug trafficking is very common, especially the powerful drug trafficking groups, which are even better equipped than the border police. Especially in the past few years, when the national economy was in a downturn, the most commonly used firearms by public security and border inspection personnel were the "August 1st Bar" and

"Old Wu Si", but the drug dealers opposite have been equipped with various types of weapons including new AKs, grenades, and even RPGs.

In those years, the casualty rate of the border police was very high, and the border garrison also deployed troops to participate in the battle. After many strikes and rounds of battles, the overseas armed drug trafficking groups suffered heavy losses and could only retreat and transport drugs through small-scale infiltration and infiltration.

The "Northern Security Army" during Wu Qingcheng's era was also one of the large-scale armed drug trafficking groups. They were included in the list of key monitoring and crackdowns. Later, as Hu Pingtao completed his mission, the "Northern Security Army" no longer planted opium poppies. That

The number of drugs and infiltrators coming from this direction has dropped sharply, which has doubled the pressure on the Xiluo Border Inspection Station.

The dishes for dinner are quite local.

Hot and sour green mango, which is not available in other places. Pick the first-ripe green mango from the tree, wash, peel and cut into pieces or shreds, sprinkle with salt and chili powder, squeeze in lime juice, and pour it on

A little soy sauce, maybe a little fish sauce if the taste is strong... In short, it's a sour and spicy cold dish, it depends on whether you can accept it.

Pickled vegetables mixed with shredded pork, you can tell the specific method just by listening to the name. It also follows the sour and spicy route, but the sourness is more than the spiciness. The meat is fresh boiled beef or pork, shredded and sliced. This way of eating is vigorous and spicy.

nature.

The fried fish is only about the length of an adult's hand. When cooked, even the bones are crispy.

There are other dishes as well, with ample portions and good taste.

In recent years, the country has paid more and more attention to the military and police, increasing funding and support. Taking the Xilo Checkpoint as an example, there have been all-round changes from equipment to food, and people's working conditions are getting better and better.

After eating, Hu Pingtao put on his work clothes, carefully checked his equipment, walked out of the room, and walked towards the checkpoint work area.

There is no rest here 24 hours a day, and a large number of people and vehicles come and go every day.

The strength of a country can be reflected in many ways, and the border inspection station is one of them. According to the old "customs officers": Xiluo used to have a lot of people going out, but now it's the other way around. And the number of fleets is increasing day by day.

No matter what goes out or comes in, they are filled with all kinds of goods.

Only when we have money will others be willing to do business with us.

Stationmaster Liu Guangbei and deputy stationmaster Wang Dong were standing together. When they saw Hu Pingtao approaching, Zhang Guangbei smiled and greeted him: "Xiaohu, you're here very early!"

Hu Pingtao is working the night shift today. The normal shift change time is eight o'clock in the evening, which is still more than half an hour away.

He responded with a smile: "It's hot and I can't stay in the dormitory, so I came over early to see if I could help."

This is a scene talk.

The actual situation is that Hu Pingtao has just arrived as the captain, and he needs to get familiar with everything here as soon as possible.

The position of the Border Inspection Station Commander is very important. The order of photographing is the Deputy Station Commander, then the Captain and the Vice Captain. In terms of position, Hu Pingtao, the "Deputy Section", can definitely teach the Deputy Station Commander, but he is too young.

I have no experience in grassroots work and need to practice.

In contrast, the deputy webmaster Wang Dong's attitude was a little cold. He nodded slightly to Hu Pingtao as a greeting.

At this time, a truck loaded with goods drove into the inspection area.

All the trucks that can be driven in have passed the initial inspection at the front gate. The driver jumped out of the cab wearing an undershirt and shorts, smiling broadly, and handed the cargo manifest to the inspectors.

Behind, various trucks were lined up in a long queue.

Everything indicated that it was a busy night.

The aroma of various fruits wafts from the distance: lychees, bananas, mangoes, pineapples... they are all tropical fruits imported from abroad. Although they account for a small proportion of the imported goods, they have the most distinctive characteristics.

A uniformed border inspection officer came over with a cargo list. He glanced at Hu Pingtao, then turned and walked towards Wang Dong who was standing opposite: "Stationmaster Wang, the cargo declared in this car is macadamia nuts."

When speaking verbally, the word "vice" is omitted.

Liu Guangbei had walked to the truck to conduct random inspections. He took some macadamia nuts and a special metal opener from each linen bag, walked to Hu Pingtao and Wang Dong, and said with a smile: "

Come, try them all and see if there is any problem."

This is not a card issue, but a normal inspection procedure.

Wang Dong opened the hard shell, stuffed the white fruit into his mouth and chewed it. Feeling the strong fragrance that filled his mouth, he pointed at the order with a bit of contempt and said with a smile: "People from Annan also

Start growing this stuff."

What he meant was, of course, directed at the Annamites.

Wang Dong served as a soldier in his early years, and later transferred to a local government and joined the public security system. Soldiers, especially veterans, have instinctive vigilance and a sense of superiority towards Annan.

Hu Pingtao used to be at home and heard his father tell the story of the battle between the two mountains more than once. Especially when talking about the logistics supply of the Annan people, his father was always full of disdain: "We have luncheon meat and braised beef here every day.

Canned food. As for their, hum...canned eggplants, they taste terrible."

As for why my father was able to eat canned eggplants from the Annamese people, he replied: "We captured their positions and captured them."

The Annan people are so poor! Even the canned food supplied to the army is plain, with no fat or meat at all.

Hu Pingtao threw away the macadamia nut shell in his hand and smiled at Wang Dong and said: "In recent years, the squirrel series of dried fruits have been selling well on the Internet. Although macadamia nuts are also grown in some places in the country, as far as the overall data is concerned,

Look, most of it is imported from abroad. The Annan people also want to do this business, and the climate there is suitable, so it’s not surprising.”

Wang Dong said "Huh" and said calmly: "I still like to eat fried melon seeds and fried peanuts. This kind of macadamia nuts are not from Hawaii... hum!"

He shook his head. Although he had not finished what he said, contempt and sarcasm appeared on his face without any concealment.

In both form and content, this is a joke.
