Chapter 1116: Pre-meeting survey

A few minutes later, led by Du Yuming, everyone came to a simple but fully functional meeting room, where they sat down as host and guest. The guards served tea and then left, leaving only Du Yuming, Zhao Jie, Wang Lei and several other key military officers.

Du Yuming didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "Lieutenant Colonel Wang, with all due respect, we know very little about the current situation in the Eastern Theater. I wonder how everything is going? Is the pressure on survival and defense high?"

Wang Lei sat upright and replied, "Thank you, Commander Du, for your concern. Commander Gao and the theater headquarters are all well. We've established a defense system leveraging the Zhoushan Islands' pre-existing fortifications and geographical advantages, which is currently able to basically guarantee the safety of the core area."

"For survival, we mainly rely on marine fisheries and limited agriculture on the island. There are some difficulties in terms of supplies, but we can still hold on."

Since he had not yet figured out the details of the Zhongzhou war zone, although he determined that the other party was definitely the Zhou Bang army, out of caution, Wang Lei did not reveal too many details.

Hearing this, Du Yuming nodded thoughtfully. "Living by the sea, Zhoushan's geographical location is indeed unique. However, being trapped on an isolated island is not a long-term solution. I'm sure Commander Gao and everyone else are also thinking about returning to the mainland all the time, right?"

Wang Lei didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Commander Du, with all due respect, I've never heard of your unit... or this 'Zhongzhou War Zone' before."

"I wonder which side your unit belongs to? Is it a reorganization of the Central Theater Command?" He finally asked the biggest question that was on the minds of all the pilots in the Eastern Theater Command.

Advanced air force, advanced individual equipment, except for the face and temperament, almost everything is incompatible with Zhou Bang who was blocking...

This feeling made Wang Lei and the others feel very awkward, so awkward that it felt like they had traveled to the future Zhou Bang...

After the words fell, Du Yuming and Zhao Jie looked at each other. They were obviously prepared for this, so without any hesitation, they directly came up with the unified statement of the Zhongzhou War Zone to the outside world.

"The predecessor of our Zhongzhou War Zone was a strategic-level secret force directly under the highest level of the country before the end of the world!"

"The Zhongzhou War Zone was established after the apocalyptic crisis broke out. Commander Gu Chengyuan established this strategic new zone with the Night Market of the Night Province as its core area in order to better cope with this unprecedented disaster!"

Du Yuming's explanation not only points out the source of the "orthodoxy" but also obscures the specific process: "Our development is inseparable from the bloody battles of all officers and soldiers, and also from the technical support of many key secret projects of the country before the end of the world!"

At this point, Du Yuming cleverly turned the topic to technology: "As for equipment, in order to cope with the increasingly severe threat of mutants and the complex living environment, we must continuously improve our capabilities."

"For this reason, even during the most difficult times in the war zone, our Zhongzhou War Zone, under the leadership of Commander Gu Chengyuan, still preserved the largest and strongest scientific research force in the country, and even in Asia!"

Du Yuming spoke these nonsense more and more fluently, and he spoke without hesitation. Anyway, no matter what he said, the other party had no way to verify it. He just boasted and said it first.

As long as you have strong military force to back it up and don't exaggerate, the other party will have no chance of refuting your claims.

However, Wang Lei and others did not know that as they listened to Du Yuming's serious introduction, they were all excited!

"A strategic force directly under the highest national level," "Night Province Night Market," "Specially established," "the largest and most powerful scientific research force in the country, and even in Asia!"...

These words combined together, together they drew up in their minds a huge force that they could not imagine, which survived tenaciously and developed rapidly in the heart of the continent!

I didn't expect that during the period when my family retreated overseas, the inland not only withstood the pressure of the end of the world, but also grew up such a terrifying military force!

This is a thigh!!

Wang Lei and the other pilots looked at each other calmly, and saw the excitement in each other's eyes!

"Commander Du, are you saying that... domestically, at least in the southwest, order and industrial capacity have been restored to a considerable degree?"

"The road to recovery is long and arduous." Du Yuming neither affirmed nor denied it.

"But we are indeed working towards this direction. Now the two places of Ye and Yu are almost settled!"

Almost Established

"That's why we're so eager to get in touch with all the surviving brother units, including those in the Eastern Theater! Only by uniting together can we overcome these difficulties."

"As of now, among the five major war zones of southeast, northwest, northeast and central, only your Eastern War Zone, Northern War Zone and Central War Zone are missing!" Immediately afterwards, Du Yuming dropped another bombshell.

After the words fell, Wang Lei and others no longer had any doubts about Du Yuming and the identity of the Zhongzhou War Zone behind him!

The reason is simple. Now the other party has achieved the unification of the three major war zones in the western region. How could it be fake?

If this Central Plains War Zone is fake, how can it possibly unite with the Western War Zone and the Southern War Zone? Even if one of the war zones is a fool, can't both of them be fools?

Therefore, the identity of the Zhongzhou War Zone has been jointly certified by the two major war zones!

As for whether the other party’s words could be false?

Wang Lei thought it was completely impossible, because once his own war zone established contact with the other side, the news would be too easy to verify.

Although the geographical locations of the major war zones are different, their armies belong to the same system. The cadres of each war zone are either classmates or colleagues. Before the end of the world, there were too many channels for communication through large and small meetings.

No matter how stupid the other party is, it is impossible for him to deceive others with such a lie that can be easily exposed.

Looking at the excited Wang Lei and others, Du Yuming continued meaningfully: "After all, the enemies we face are not just the monsters in the city. The challenges ahead require the combined strength of everyone!"

Since there was a subsequent call with senior officials in the Eastern Theater Command, the preliminary investigation before this call lasted less than half an hour. Although both sides were reserved, the amount of information was huge.

Wang Lei roughly understood that the Zhongzhou Theater was a powerful force determined to rebuild order, while Du Yuming further confirmed the current situation of the Eastern Theater where the main force still existed but was isolated in a corner and had a shortage of supplies.

When Wang Lei and others were politely invited to the lounge to wait for communication with the Zhoushan Eastern Theater Command, they felt extremely complicated.

They were shocked by the strength of the Zhongzhou war zone and puzzled by its mysterious origin. At the same time, they also saw a glimmer of hope to return to the mainland and escape the predicament of being isolated on the island.

Du Yuming stood by the window, looking at the Y-9JB and G10A being guided towards the hangar in the distance, and said to Zhao Jie:

"See? This is the 'real boss' we've been looking for. They need supplies and hope. And we need their brain cores, intelligence on the East China Sea, and... their status as a veteran war zone. This deal has been negotiated."

It can be predicted that his next direct dialogue with the top leaders of the Eastern Theater will greatly affect the future direction of relations between the two theaters, and may even affect the power structure of the entire eastern Zhou State and even the coastal areas.
