MTLNOVEL Chapter 1105: This World Really Isn't So Bad
Joe Ga was wearing a combat uniform that made him very comfortable, holding a large lunchbox filled with rice, and mixed in to have a hearty meal rich in grease at the Lion Squad canteen…
Looking at 'Sugar' who had a flattering expression on his face, giving him a big scoop of potato beef in his lunchbox, and even offering him a bowl of secret recipe sour plum soup, Boss Joe disdainfully said, "Why are you buttering me up?
I heard that you got married to a few teenage girls in Mosul, and your cheap little brother-in-law who delivers takeout even used the P.B flag to bring the whole family on our plane to Sangha Town.
I heard he even joined the cooking class, hey, has he arrived?"
Saying that, Boss Joe took a sip of the sour plum soup, found the taste extremely refreshing, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "Make more of this stuff, the weather is so damn hot, everyone needs something to cool off…
Your marriage to minors isn't a big deal in Sangha Town, don't worry, no one will trouble you!"
'Sugar's face went from pale to red a few times, after which he sighed and said, "Boss, I didn't…"
Joe Ga shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you didn't, why didn't you drive them away?"
'Sugar' was stunned for a moment, and with a bitter smile said, "If I don't acknowledge them, they can't leave Iraq.
Boss, I really didn't marry several, it's actually just one, Sally is already 19 years old…
Solon, the old squad leader, has not been on good terms with me for the past several months, can you help me talk to him, I also want to go to the front…
Boss, you know I have been working over at Mosul for a long time, I know how to deal with civilians in enemy-occupied areas…"
Joe Ga listened, looked up and down at 'Sugar', curiously said, "Is your life pressure this big now? How many people do you have to support?
Didn't your cheap little brother-in-law Ali come to work in the cooking class?"
'Sugar' sighed and said, "The old squad leader doesn't like people who use connections, they refuse to give Ali the treatment of external hires, only willing to give him local salary treatment.
Ali is only 15 years old, he has 4 older sisters, 9 younger sisters, local soldiers of P.B get only 500 bucks a year as a subsidy, they have to work continuously for 5 years to become permanent employees, he simply cannot support so many people."
Joe Ga didn't feel 'Sugar' was complaining, but realized this guy might be serious about the family he brought back from Iraq…
Actually, for a family from Mosul, the local salary in Sangha Town is not considered low anymore.
Currently, the minimum wage in Sangha Town is 40 US Dollars per month, jobs with some technical content reaching three-digit salaries are already quite common.
Sangha Town doesn't lack jobs now, that big family can have the young ones go to school for food and shelter, and the older ones will definitely find jobs, but the salary won't be too high, of course.
However, 'Sugar' is a typical Chinese man, having married a wife, he is willing to shoulder responsibilities, it's impossible for him to feast while letting his brother-in-law and sister-in-law live frugally.
A high salary shared among a dozen people, 'Sugar' indeed finds it very difficult!
Seeing 'Sugar' with a distressed face, Joe Ga smiled and said, "Looks like you really like your little wife huh…
What, willing to risk your life at the front for a 500-buck subsidy per day?"
'Sugar' listened and nodded seriously, said, "Boss, I'm familiar with the task of delivering meals at the front, Ali grew up in Mosul, he can also handle such tasks.
Boss, I heard you're not planning to evacuate people out of the city this time, if that's the case you'll need someone to risk getting supplies and information in…"
Joe Ga listened, turned his head to look at Ali, the teenager standing not far away, shook his head, saying, "Under 18 is not allowed to go to the front…
But it doesn't matter to you, if you want to go so much, then go!
The cooking class has a lot of good hands now, besides the soldiers from the synthetic battalion in Brazil, there's also a batch of special forces that haven't found suitable tasks yet…
This group counts as the fourth special operations squadron of P.B, but without real combat tests, no one knows how they truly perform?
You go take them to familiarize themselves with P.B's system, then go handle those things you just mentioned."
Upon hearing that, 'Sugar' nodded excitedly and said, "Understood, boss! I surely won't disappoint you…"
Joe Ga looked at 'Sugar's excited face, shook his head, and said, "No need to be so excited, it's just a very ordinary task.
In your free time, listen more to the advice of those old squad leaders like Solon, frontline logistics tasks are actually still dangerous, there are many good hands in the cooking class, quickly ask Solon to assign more people to you."
Saying that, Joe Ga looked at 'Sugar', who was excitedly scratching his head and ears, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Look at 'Iron Shovel'…
Look at the kind of life he's living now, isn't it like heaven?
Why have you let your life become so miserable?"
'Sugar' listened and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Boss, I'm not just trying to get subsidies, I just want to do more things.
I can't quite explain why, ever since experiencing the Mosul campaign, I feel that if I am capable, I should do more things.
I know the old squad leaders put me in the back to temper my temperament, but there are some things I just can't explain…
Every time I see those civilians in the warzone, I think of Mosul back then, and then I want to…
