Chapter 1049 Heart

Beibei gathering place, the former site of Yu'nan University, and the joint command center of Yucheng Military Region.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Old Yu!! Old Yu!! Where is he?! Great news! Great news!!"

The voice arrived before the person arrived. As soon as the tall, straight, and impetuous figure of Yucheng Military Region Commander Lu Chong burst through the command center door, his resounding laughter and shouts instantly broke the slightly dull atmosphere of the early morning.

He was seen waving a document in his hand, his face showing undisguised excitement.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of all the staff and officials in the command center, and everyone looked over curiously.

Lu Chong didn't care about it at all. He walked quickly and rushed straight to the command area in the center.

"?"

Yu Zhengguo, who was sitting with Zhao Gang in a corner of the command area, eating a simple breakfast and discussing work in a low voice, subconsciously stuffed the remaining half of the braised pork bun on the chopsticks into his mouth when he heard the sound, and hurriedly stood up.

"Why is Lu Chong howling so early in the morning?" Zhao Gang also put down the lunch box of millet porridge and stood up with a puzzled look on his face.

"Commander Lu, what are you so happy about? What good news?" Yu Zhengguo looked at Lu Chong's happy face and couldn't help but be curious.

From the sound of it, it seems to be related to me?

Lu Chong took a few big strides forward, looked at the confused faces of Yu Zhengguo and Zhao Gang, and didn't bother to keep them in suspense. He laughed and stuffed the documents in his hand directly into Yu Zhengguo's arms.

"Hahahaha—Old Yu! You're amazing! You've been quietly doing great things. You're going to make progress!" Lu Chong laughed so loudly that he was so excited that he couldn't help but raise his hand and punch Yu Zhengguo on the shoulder. The force was so strong that it almost knocked out the bun that Yu Zhengguo had just swallowed.

"Tell me! Did you secretly call the chieftain to get some help without telling Lao Zhao and me?"

"What's the matter? Are you unhappy working under me, Lu Chong? Or are you homesick and want to be transferred back? Hahaha~"

Faced with Lu Chong's barrage of punches, laughs, and scolding, Yu Zhengguo was even more bewildered. What progress? What going home?

"Charge! What's going on? You've learned to play dumb now, right?" Zhao Gang on the side couldn't stand it anymore and urged him in a bad mood.

"What's wrong? Let Old Yu see for himself and see what he has done!" Lu Chong waved his hand and looked at Yu Zhengguo who was looking down and quickly browsing the documents with his sharp eyes.

Yu Zhengguo's eyes quickly swept over the words on the document. His hands began to tremble slightly, and the expression on his face changed from confusion to shock, and then to incredible ecstasy.

The war zone appointed...himself as the deputy commander of the Northwest Garrison?

Northwest Garrison?! Was it the strategic-level Northwest Garrison that Lu Chong had specifically mentioned when the three of them were chatting yesterday?

Thinking of this, Yu Zhengguo felt his heart suddenly beating violently, almost bursting out of his chest.

Compared with other senior generals of the 77th Corps, such as Deputy Corps Commander Yang Wei and others, Yu Zhengguo, who chose to come to the Yucheng Military Region Command to assist in the work, integrated into the Zhongzhou Theater much faster and more deeply!

Apart from anything else, just by being with Lu Chong, the direct leader of the Zhongzhou War Zone, every day, the level of information he can access and his understanding of the war zone are far beyond what his colleagues who are still in the original legion system can compare to.

He learned about news like the establishment of the Northwest Garrison from Lu Chong almost on the same night after the war zone standing committee meeting ended. His level of well-informed information even surpassed many more senior cadres within the Zhongzhou War Zone.

This is the importance of the platform, which is sometimes far greater than individual efforts.

It is precisely because he deeply understands the huge strategic significance and future development potential represented by the Northwest Garrison troops that Yu Zhengguo is so excited at this moment.

From the current perspective, the Northwest Garrison Force may just be a newly formed dispatched force responsible for the security of energy channels, and its rank is temporarily set at the army level.

But when looking at this force, we must not only look at the present, but also its future strategic positioning:

It is the guardian of the energy lifeline of the Zhongzhou Theater, a bridgehead connecting the Western Theater and possible strategic cooperation with the Central Theater and the New Province Construction Corps in the future, and the core fulcrum for the theater's power to radiate westward!

If we look at it from a longer-term perspective, this force may even become a strategic outpost connecting the Eurasian continent and the northward strategy in the future!

If we only look at the area directly controlled by the current Zhongzhou War Zone, it seems to be on the periphery; but if we place it on the grand geopolitical chessboard of the entire Eurasian continent, this place can be called the "Eurasian Heart" of the future war zone forces!

Of course, it may be too early to talk about this, but as a senior military commander, his vision and thinking are destined not to be limited to the present like ordinary people.

Having a deep understanding of the strategic layout is not only his responsibility, but also a necessary ability for him to be in this position.

The more Yu Zhengguo learned about the unfathomable potential and rapidly developing strength of the Zhongzhou War Zone, the more he became confident that the Zhongzhou War Zone could end this apocalyptic catastrophe after experiencing shock again and again.

Even deep in his heart, he had already determined that in the entire Zhou State, only the Zhongzhou War Zone had the ability to truly end the chaos and restore order!

And what happens after the end of the domestic apocalypse? The next strategic direction seems easy to predict...

Territory is always the most valuable of all resources!

In the old days, others took advantage of the situation to rob us. Why can’t it be our turn in this new era after the end of the world?

As for fairness and justice?

Yes, there will be, but the prerequisite is to talk about it after you are full!

"I never expected that what I thought was a desperate gamble would actually be the key to a new world!"

"Before, you couldn't even imagine survival, but now you can imagine expanding your territory after the end of the world?"

Thinking of all this, Yu Zhengguo stood there speechless for a long time...
