Chapter 1017 Commander Gu, go through fire and water!
Gu Chengyuan's expression was as calm as water when Shao Gang described his difficulties.
At this moment, there was no trace of emotion in his deep eyes, only the unshakable determination like a mountain was condensed!
"boom!"
A quiet sound, yet like thunder, resonated in everyone's heart! It was the pen in Gu Chengyuan's hand, seemingly casually but with immense force, that he pressed down on the table!
He leaned forward slightly, his gaze like two icicles, shooting straight at Lieutenant General Shao Gang, who was still in a state of "difficulty". His voice was not loud, but it contained a majesty that could freeze the soul and an absolute will that could not be questioned:
"Unsustainable? Will the impact outweigh the outcome?"
The corners of Gu Chengyuan's mouth curled up in a very faint, yet heart-pounding arc, as if mocking the so-called "difficulties":
"Deputy Commander Shao, is this your first day in charge of logistics? Do you need me to teach you how to calculate this account right now?!"
His words were like ice spikes, piercing Lieutenant General Shao Gang's body subconsciously straightening up, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Gu Chengyuan no longer looked at Shao Gang. His gaze slowly swept across the entire audience, finally stopping on the representatives of the Western Theater Command, especially Zhang Shouzheng's face full of tension and hope.
His voice suddenly rose, carrying a resolute and overbearing arrogance:
"The Battle of Yucheng must be fought! The Yenan transport line must be protected! Stability in the jurisdiction must be maintained! The urgent needs of our brother units in the Western Theater Command must be addressed!"
He slammed the table with a loud bang, like the final fall of the gavel:
"These 100,000 tons of supplies, I said, must be given!"
Gu Chengyuan's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He locked onto Shao Gang again and issued a death order that would not tolerate any compromise:
"Logistical difficulties? Overcome them! High consumption on the front lines? Save every penny! Squeeze it out from other non-core projects! Even if it means robbing Peter to pay Paul!"
"I don't care how you coordinate or manage things!"
"Within a week!" He said firmly, emphasizing each word. "The first batch of supplies must be loaded onto a transport plane bound for the western war zone!"
"This is an order! Not a discussion! Do you understand?!"
"Yes! Commander! I promise to complete the mission!"
Lieutenant General Shao Gang stood up instantly as if he was burned by a branding iron, with his chest and head held high. There was no hesitation or embarrassment in his loud voice, only the soldier's absolute obedience to the highest order!
Gu Chengyuan then slowly withdrew his oppressive gaze. The frost on his face instantly melted, and the calmness that seemed to be in control of everything reappeared. He even had a hint of "relief" in his smile. He looked at the Western Theater Command delegation, who were stunned and overwhelmed by this thunderous move, especially Zhang Shouzheng:
"Director Zhang, Deputy Commander Zou, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Don't worry, I, Gu, will never mistreat our fraternal units!"
"Now, the obstacles are cleared." His tone was gentle, but more powerful than the thunderous rage just now:
"I've kept my word on these 100,000 tons of supplies. You'll see the first shipment depart within a week."
As Gu Chengyuan made his promise, Zhang Shouzheng felt as if he was pulled back from the edge of a cliff and then pushed to the clouds in an instant!
The huge gap made him almost speechless. He looked at Gu Chengyuan's young but magical face, and saw Lieutenant General Shao Gang's transformation from "embarrassment" to "absolute obedience". In his heart, there was only incomparable shock and... a kind of awe that was almost submissive!
This Commander Gu... He not only possesses terrifying material reserves, but also possesses the absolute will and execution ability to stick to his word and crush all obstacles!
He said he would give it to us, no matter how great the difficulties were, we had to give way! He said he would ship it tomorrow, and he would never delay it until the day after tomorrow!
This incident completely dispelled Zhang Shouzheng's deep-seated doubts and speculations...
'It seems that this young Commander Gu is truly the supreme commander of the Central Plains War Zone, not just a puppet pushed to the forefront amidst suspicion!'
"After all, no puppet could have such great power, nor could they exert such strong pressure on a lieutenant general in his fifties."
Zhang Shouzheng was sitting right opposite him, so he saw clearly the expression on the face of Shao Gang, deputy commander of the Zhongzhou Theater Command, when he was questioned!
Commander Gu's voice was only a little more serious, and the other party was frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat...
This kind of control over the war zone and the deterrence against the senior leaders in the war zone is not something that an ordinary war zone commander could achieve even before the end of the world...
You must know that what is most valued within the system is jurisdiction. The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the county magistrate, and the essence of jurisdiction is personnel power!
Why do many grassroots personnel within the system dare to contradict their leaders without any scruples?
The reason is that leaders only have the power of promotion within the personnel system, but not the power of dismissal. Therefore, once the grassroots staff no longer want to be promoted, the leadership power will become ineffective and the grassroots staff will become dominant.
So from this point, we can see the importance of personnel rights.
As we all know, the theater commander has no personnel authority over the deputy theater commanders within the theater. This means that the deputy theater commanders have a great deal of autonomy when facing the theater commanders.
So in this case, respect is normal and fear is unlikely.
After all, as long as you are not caught making any principled mistakes, the worst that can happen is that the conflict becomes irreconcilable and you can just walk away.
Therefore, just the abnormal reaction of Shaogang gave Zhang Shouzheng and other members of the Western Theater Delegation a lot of room for imagination...
This gave them a new understanding of the power held by Gu Chengyuan, the commander of the Zhongzhou War Zone!
How could the other party, in such a vast Zhongzhou war zone, be so arrogant and domineering?!
One hundred thousand tons of combat supplies, delivered just like that? This kind of authority and control is simply terrifying!
As for whether it could be acting?
That was even more impossible. Using 100,000 tons of war supplies for a play? If such a thing really happened, Zhang Shouzheng could even play the other party's son. Isn't it just bowing and calling him dad?
He could knock the other side into bankruptcy, and even bring his own commander over to knock them down together. The entire core leadership of the war zone stood in a row, each with a badge number, and they would go to knock the other side up when their number was called!
As for your question about the dignity of the war zone and deputy war zone levels?
What a joke! Without guns or troops, can zombies be cleared out with dignity? Can a city be recaptured with dignity?
...
"Commander Gu... I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!" Zhang Shouzheng's voice was filled with the trembling of surviving a disaster and the excitement that came from the bottom of his heart. He stood up and bowed deeply.
"On behalf of the Western Theater Command... I will always be grateful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Western Theater Command delegation stood up collectively and bowed to Gu Chengyuan opposite them and to the leaders of the Central Plains Theater Command!
