Chapter 1141 Joint Meeting of the Four War Zones

The core framework of the talks has been finalized, and the representatives of the Eastern Theater have finally felt relieved.

Lieutenant General Zhou Wei struck while the iron was hot and asked Gu Chengyuan in a cautious and expectant tone:

"Commander Gu, today's conversation with you has truly cleared the clouds and given us hope of escaping this desperate situation!"

"I wonder... when we can begin to work out the details of our cooperation agreement? We in the Eastern Theater are eagerly awaiting this!"

There was urgency in his words. After all, every day of delay would worsen the plight of the Eastern Theater.

However, Gu Chengyuan's answer was beyond their expectations.

He gently put down the teacup in his hand and glanced calmly at the generals in the Eastern Theater:

"General Zhou, General Wang, I understand your urgency. However, before we formally finalize the details of our cooperation, there is a more important matter that needs to be addressed."

He paused slightly, as if observing the other party's reaction, and then slowly said:

"In the near future, our Zhongzhou Theater will launch a large-scale military operation 'Clean Night' targeting the night market."

"We've also taken this opportunity to invite colleagues from the Western and Southern Theater Commands to observe. Following the operation, we'll convene a joint meeting led by the Central Plains Theater Command and attended by all four parties."

"Four-party joint meeting?!" Zhou Wei repeated in a lost voice. The smile on his face froze instantly and his pupils shrank slightly. Wang Zhiming and other generals in the Eastern Theater Command also showed expressions of astonishment.

During their trip, they received a notice that they were discussing cooperation with the Zhongzhou War Zone. They had no idea that there was such a four-party meeting covering the major existing military forces of the Zhou State!

The news was so sudden that it caught them off guard for a moment.

"Commander Gu, do you mean... that the Western Theater Command and the Southern Theater Command will also send representatives to participate?" Zhou Weiqiang suppressed his shock and carefully sought confirmation, while his heart was in turmoil.

The Zhongzhou War Zone was able to invite the other two war zones at the same time, which shows its influence and appeal!

Gu Chengyuan nodded slightly, his tone still calm, but his words were like thunder:

"We're not sending representatives. General Wei Jingfang, commander of the Western Theater Command, and General Wu Xianglin, commander of the Southern Theater Command, will both lead their delegations."

"What?! Commander Wei and Commander Wu... are coming in person?!"

This time, even the usually calm Wang Zhiming couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The representatives of the Eastern Theater Command in the conference room looked at each other with disbelief written all over their faces.

The commanders of the two major war zones attended in person??!

This has a completely different meaning!

The commanders of major war zones are the ultimate force within their respective spheres of influence, and they are responsible for the life and death of millions of soldiers and civilians!

If he did not have extremely high trust in the Zhongzhou War Zone and attached extraordinary importance to the importance of this meeting, he would never have easily left his core territory and attended the meeting in person in the doomsday environment!

The information revealed behind this made the generals in the Eastern Theater feel frightened.

First of all, this shows that the conference organized by the Zhongzhou Theater Command is of such high standards and great significance that it is probably far beyond their previous imagination. It is definitely not just as simple as observing a military operation!

Secondly, this further demonstrates that the connection and mutual trust between the two major war zones in the West and South and the Central Plains War Zone are far deeper and closer than they understand!

Otherwise, the two experienced commanders would never make such a decision.

If they had not discovered the Jinling Military Region by accident, their Eastern Theater Command would have almost missed this top-level summit that could determine the future of the Zhou State!

For a moment, shock, fear, and a hint of relief (fortunately they were here) intertwined in the hearts of the representatives of the Eastern Theater.

The expressions they gave Gu Chengyuan were more complex and filled with awe. The young commander's style and vision constantly refreshed their understanding.

Zhou Wei quickly adjusted his mindset, his face showing a more humble and solemn expression:

"I see! We are so ignorant! Since this is a four-party joint meeting, the matter is of great importance. The details of our cooperation should naturally be finalized after the meeting, based on the spirit and consensus of the meeting. We fully understand and look forward to the convening of the meeting!"

At this moment, their original eagerness to "get aid as soon as possible" has been replaced by the shock and caution of being involved in a larger situation.

They realized that cooperation with the Zhongzhou War Zone was probably just one step in this big game.

The upcoming four-party meeting will be the key occasion to truly determine the future status and distribution of interests of all parties.

They must adjust their strategy and go all out!

The only regret is that they found out too late. Otherwise, they in the Eastern Theater might have had time to inform their commander...

At this moment, Colonel Zhou Guihong of the Zhongzhou Theater Secretariat pushed the door open and walked in. She came to Gu Chengyuan and leaned over to whisper:

"Commander, Longbao Air Force Base reports that two transport aircraft formations escorting the Western Theater Command and Southern Theater Command delegations are expected to arrive in half an hour!"
