Chapter 1121 The Uncrowned King

After a brief silence, Gu Chengyuan, who was sitting in the main seat, stopped tapping his fingertips on the table.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes sweeping across the room, finally landing on the Yangtze River navigation map. He spoke slowly in a steady voice:

"Comrade Shao Gang's analysis is incredibly insightful. This 'Yangtze River lifeline' is not only the key to resolving the logistical bottleneck on the Nanjing front, but also a crucial 'key' on the strategic chessboard of our Central Plains theater of operations, capable of shifting the entire eastern situation."

After discussing his attitude, Gu Chengyuan succinctly summarized the core advantages of the channel:

Its value can be summarized in three points:

First, absolute cost and capacity advantages. Air transport maintains our presence at the forefront, while water and land transport support strategic deployment. This is an irreplaceable objective law.

Second, unparalleled strategic delivery capabilities. The continuous delivery of heavy equipment and bulk supplies is the only way to transform the Jinling Military Sub-district from an "outpost" to a "fortress."

Third, it is the key to activating the eastern chessboard. It connects not only supplies but also the lifeline for our future recovery and reconstruction of the entire eastern coastal region."

"Therefore, opening up and controlling the Yangtze River waterway must be one of the core strategic goals of our subsequent negotiations with the Eastern Theater!"

"What are your opinions on this?" Gu Chengyuan said, scanning the entire audience.

"Agree!"

...

Seeing all the standing committee members in the audience express their agreement, Gu Chengyuan nodded with satisfaction, becoming more and more immersed in this powerful control.

Afterwards, when Gu Chengyuan calmed down a bit, he proposed a plan that he had been planning for a long time, full of ambition and aspirations, a grander and more ambitious idea:

"Comrades, considering the upcoming Eastern Theater of War, I would like to present to you an idea I have been thinking about for a long time. Please discuss its feasibility with everyone present!"

Hearing the leader's rare use of such cautious words, everyone present, including Wu Bin, the theater chief of staff who knew Gu Chengyuan best, and other members of the theater standing committee, all turned their eyes to him and sat upright.

"I propose that during this meeting with the Eastern Theater, we formally propose the idea of establishing the 'Zhou Bang Doomsday Military Committee.'"

"I believe that now is a good time to establish an alliance that goes beyond simple military cooperation and reshape the core of the Zhou Dynasty's end-time order." Gu Chengyuan looked around at each core general present and said word by word.

"Zhou Bang Doomsday Military Committee? ? "

This name cheered up everyone present!

Isn't this a disguised equivalent of the Military Administration Committee before the end of the Zhou Dynasty? It just has two more characters, but the meaning is exactly the same, and the power is even greater...

hiss--

Is the leader unable to restrain himself and is about to reach out to the central power?

Just as the minds of the Standing Committee members present were racing with thoughts, Gu Chengyuan clearly explained its necessity and huge benefits:

"Currently, with the upcoming Eastern Theater, we have established solid connections with the Western and Southern Theaters. Once we unite with the Eastern Theater, it means that three of the five Zhoubang Theaters will be united with us!"

"With us included, that means four major war zones have gathered together!"

"By then, we will instantly become the undisputed and most powerful official military group in the Zhou State, without a doubt!"

"First of all, politically," Gu Chengyuan said, his voice carrying a sense of authority that builds order:

"The Military Commission will become a core authority that transcends geographical barriers and unifies commands."

"It will give us unprecedented legitimacy and appeal. Any remaining resistance forces or survivors will have their will to resist greatly weakened when facing the committee representing the main military force of the Zhou State."

"The orders we issue and the will we implement will no longer be limited to a certain corner or a certain war zone, but will represent the will of the entire Zhou State!"

"Secondly, in the military, the complementary advantages will produce a qualitative leap! The Western Theater's depth and manpower, the Southern Theater's partial industrial base and military potential, the Eastern Theater's valuable naval and air power and navigation experience, and our Central Plains Theater's leading technology, powerful field army, and core leadership."

"The integration of the four will not only result in a simple addition, but an exponential increase in combat effectiveness. We will have all-round combat and delivery capabilities from inland to sea."

"Finally, regarding material dispatch and production," Gu Chengyuan pointed to the map:

"The establishment of this committee will break down barriers between theaters. Chongqing's industrial potential, the unique resources of each theater, and even the output of future recovered areas will all be centrally planned, efficiently coordinated, and complement each other's strengths within the committee's framework."

"This will completely solve the fuel shortage faced by the Eastern Theater Command, maximize our overall industrial capacity, and avoid duplication of construction and waste of resources."

"So, the establishment of the 'Zhou Bang Doomsday Military Committee' is not for empty fame, but to gather scattered forces, clench fingers into a fist, and form an absolute power advantage to face all threats!"

"It is to complete the historical mission of eliminating mutants, recovering lost territory, and ultimately rebuilding the order of the Zhou State with the highest efficiency and the most unified will!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause.

Snap Snap Snap Snap Snap Snap——

...

Of course, the above is the external version. In fact, what Gu Chengyuan wants is to obtain the command of other war zones reasonably, legally and appropriately through the "Zhou Bang Doomsday Military Committee" without making people feel resistance to power being usurped.

To put it more bluntly, they want to use the capital of the Zhongzhou War Zone to leverage more and larger resources!

Once the Military Commission is established, the theater-level armed forces that Gu Chengyuan can mobilize will instantly increase from 1 to 4!

By that time, there will be no need to say more about who the uncrowned king of Zhou State will be!
