The next day, after Gao Yang got up, he began waiting for soone to deliver weapons and personnel to him, but the living supplies arrived promptly, while the weapons and personnel were delayed.
In Yen, the noon sumr sun can roast you alive, so nobody’s willing to move at noon. If you want weapons and equipnt, you’d have to wait until afternoon or even evening.
There’s no other way; this is the lifestyle in the Middle East in general, no matter how anxious you are, you have to wait.
The house’s insulation is good, but Gao Yang was still frustrated with the heat inside, and there’s nothing he could do; although the place he lived in had air conditioning, it had no electricity.
By noon, at twelve o’clock, you couldn’t stand outside in the sun anymore, and it was unbearable indoors. For locals, this temperature was actually quite normal, but Gao Yang and his n found it sowhat hard to tolerate.
Having been on the Sudanese Grasslands for three years and spending considerable ti in Syria, Gao Yang’s tolerance for high temperatures was pretty strong. Even if it was a bit hot, he was only mildly annoyed and far from being unable to bear it. But as Gao Yang sat in his room fanning himself while studying maps, he suddenly rembered sothing.
Those new artilleryn were Ukrainian; they had never experienced such heat in their lives. They arrived yesterday and imdiately had to endure such a high-temperature day, and there were seven or eight people squeezed into one room; sothing might go wrong.
Even if nobody falls ill from the heat, the combat effectiveness of those Ukrainians would absolutely be greatly affected. If you needed to take them out at this ti, no doubt they wouldn’t perform well.
Gao Yang stood up abruptly, opened the door, and hurried to the room where the Ukrainians were staying. When he pushed the door open, he saw eight strong n stripped naked, each using any available ans to fan themselves.
Rebrov and his n were in one room, and seeing Gao Yang co in, Rebrov stood up, reached out to wipe his sweat, and said, "Boss, anything we should do?"
Gao Yang looked at the miserable scene in the room and chuckled bitterly, saying to Rebrov, "Can you handle it?"
Rebrov also chuckled bitterly and said, "No way, just endure it. I was thinking this morning about getting them training to adapt to high temperatures, but I’ve completely given up now."
Gao Yang frowned and said, "Have them drink more water and make sure no one gets dehydrated or suffers from heatstroke. I’ll think of a plan."
This was a big issue that needed a solution. Gao Yang first thought of air conditioning, and estimated that he could get it from Salim along with a generator.
Gao Yang went to find Glolov, pushed the door, and said, "We need to co up with a plan; otherwise, our Ukrainians will definitely suffer from the heat and fall ill."
Glolov had spent many years in Africa, long accustod to high temperatures. Hearing Gao Yang’s words, he chuckled bitterly and said, "What plan? Are you planning to install air conditioning for them? Don’t joke around. What we need is not a bunch of pampered soldiers. If they can’t stand the sun now, how will they fight? Endure it."
After speaking, Glolov confidently pointed with a finger, "One month, they need at least a month to adapt to the climate here. Before that, if you dare to let them fight under the sun, they really might get heatstroke on you."
Gao Yang said helplessly, "It’s affecting combat effectiveness. F**k, I completely ignored the climate’s impact on people. I shouldn’t have gotten artilleryn from Ukraine."
Just then, Gao Yang heard Liang Dong shouting in the courtyard, "Food’s ready, everyone co and eat! Hurry up!"
Gao Yang looked out, then checked his watch, and said, "Eating now? Who can even eat in this heat?"
Saying this, Gao Yang walked out and shouted to Liang Dong in the courtyard, "What kind of al is it? It’s too hot, nobody wants to eat. Next ti, change the alti."
Liang Dong smiled and said, "No, it’s better to eat when it’s hot. Hurry, eat while it’s cool. Once it gets hot, it won’t taste good."
Hearing that it was cool, Gao Yang instantly perked up and shouted, "Everyone hurry up and co eat, this is an order! What’s tasty?"
Liang Dong chuckled and said, "Cool noodles; here, we have sesa sauce, so I made so sesa sauce cold noodles."
After speaking, Liang Dong turned toward the kitchen and shouted, "Rabbit, take the noodles to the old man."
Rabbit ca out carrying a bowl of noodles and smiled as he passed by Gao Yang, "Don’t worry, the old man’s noodles aren’t super cold."
Gao Yang noticed Cui Bo carrying a pot of soup, and exclaid in shock, "What kind of soup is this? I see, is that green bean soup?"
Li Jinfang also ca out from the kitchen, smiling, "Yes indeed, Liang Dong started simring green bean soup early before dawn and kept it chilled with cold water all along. Co, have a bowl first, it’s refreshing and delightful."
Liang Dong was also smiling, "It’s hot here, and I knew they’d be suffering in the heat, so I prepared it early; if it’s simred just at noon, it’d be too hot for everyone to drink."
After taking the bowl of green bean soup from Li Jinfang, Gao Yang drank it all at once and exclaid in delight, "Fantastic! Liang Dong, I’m awarding you a rit!"
Liang Dong solved a major problem for Gao Yang, definitely rit-worthy.
Liang Dong chuckled and said, "It’s no big deal; this is how we used to do it in the military."
Gao Yang exclaid in delight, "There’s green beans in the Middle East? I truly didn’t know; this is excellent stuff!"
Liang Dong said solemnly, "I plan to supply green bean soup every day without interruption, so the warriors... no, the brothers can treat it as drinking water. This will help increase their activity level properly without worrying about heatstroke from the sun, otherwise, I think these guys truly can’t handle it; they’ve never seen such hot days."
As they spoke, everyone finally ca out to eat, and as the exhausted people found the lunch different from what they imagined, they imdiately beca excited.
With a sip of the sweet green bean soup, they were utterly delighted.
The ones ahead grabbed their als and walked while drinking; after finishing one box of green bean soup, they went to the end of the queue to line up again, busy drinking without caring to eat their als.
Gao Yang whispered to Liang Dong, "Is there enough with this lineup?"
Liang Dong laughed, "Co inside and see."
Gao Yang followed Liang Dong into the kitchen and saw that in all the vats, large pots, and basins filled entirely with green bean soup; so were steaming, so already completely cooled.
Li Jinfang was beside, smiling, "Liang Dong has been simring since four o’clock, not stopping all morning, exhausting himself imnsely, Brother Yang, we shouldn’t just praise with words; there should be a substantive reward."
Now Gao Yang was truly satisfied with Liang Dong, extrely satisfied.
The kitchen was hot, and Liang Dong was drenched in sweat, dripping down. Gao Yang strongly patted Liang Dong’s back and said loudly, "If I had a service dal, I’d imdiately give you one; you solved a huge problem for today, that’s a great rit! A reward is needed, yes, I’ll reward you with one hundred thousand US dollars!"
