Chapter 1147 Banquet

After some greetings, Gu Chengyuan led everyone into the convoy.

Soon, the huge convoy, like a giant steel dragon, drove out of the Longbao Air Force Base under the extremely strict security control along the way, and drove towards the Zhongzhou War Zone headquarters along the dedicated passage that had already been under complete martial law.

The specifications of this convoy far exceeded the usual ones. It was guarded by wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles equipped with heavy weapons in the front and back. In the middle were several specially modified and amazingly protected cars for the leaders, as well as vehicles carrying accompanying senior military officers.

In the air, a tactical helicopter formation consisting of the Z-10 armed helicopters and the Z-20 tactical general-purpose helicopters circled and maintained alert in the designated airspace.

As time passed, when the convoy gradually approached the magnificent wall of the Zhongzhou Theater Command, even the knowledgeable commanders of the Western Theater Command, Wei Jingfang, and the Southern Theater Commander, Wu Xianglin, could not help but be shocked when they saw the towering wall that was 20 meters high, winding like a dragon, and shining with a cold blue-gray metallic light up close!

The absolute defensive power, powerful mobilization and material mobilization capabilities represented by this city wall all speak of the powerful foundation of the Zhongzhou war zone.

The convoy passed through the heavy city gate and drove into the agency.

Finally, the long steel dragon slowly stopped in front of the crimson government building.

The moment they got off the car, Wei Jingfang, Wu Xianglin and other leaders from various war zones who had never been to the Zhongzhou War Zone subconsciously looked up at the building in front of them. It was not particularly tall (only ten stories high) and was just a library of a major university before the end of the world.

It has a square shape and strong lines, and looks like a silent giant in the afterglow of the sunset.

Its height and scale are not outstanding among buildings in peacetime, but at this moment, with the blessing of its identity as the "highest power core of the Zhongzhou War Zone" and the surrounding solemn and orderly military atmosphere, the building seems to condense an indescribable weight and majesty, which makes the two battle-hardened generals feel awe.

It represents the core of the will of a giant that has risen and is crawling in the southwest of Zhou State! !

With the blessing of such a huge halo, even a piece of wood is far more magnificent and epic than a million-ton ship!

Gu Chengyuan led everyone into the office building and went directly to the office cafeteria.

At this moment, the office cafeteria hall has been newly decorated.

The tables and chairs that were usually used for office staff to eat were rearranged, leaving a large space in the central area and placing five large round tables covered with white tablecloths.

Due to the large number of senior generals and important accompanying staff present, Gu Chengyuan's special box "Lijian Hall" usually used for receptions could not accommodate them at all, so he simply held the welcoming banquet in the spacious cafeteria hall.

Even so, those who can step into this hall at this moment and are qualified to sit at these five tables are all figures that ordinary people can hardly look up to.

Gu Chengyuan and the theater chief of staff Wu Bin sat at the main table, accompanying Wei Jingfang, Wu Xianglin, Zhou Wei, and Wang Zhiming, the four core leaders from the three major theater commands of the west, south, and east respectively.

Other lieutenant general-level standing committee members of the Zhongzhou Theater Command, such as Shao Gang, Wang Tiefeng, Zhou Tianyi, Chen Haitao, Zhao Changfeng and others, were seated at four other tables, each accompanying other senior generals and important staff members from the three theater delegations.

Looking around, the entire cafeteria hall was shining with golden stars, intertwined with the colorful uniforms, and the low voices of conversation carried an invisible pressure.

At a rough glance, there are no less than thirty generals, not to mention the senior staff officers at the level of colonel and major.

So many high-ranking officials who control the existing major military forces of the Zhou State gathered together. The grandeur of the scene and the concentration of power were unprecedented after the end of the world!

Even if we look at the entire Zhou State today, it can definitely be called a state banquet that represents the country's fortune!

Once everyone was seated, the dishes began to be served.

The dishes at this banquet, as usual, did not pursue luxury, but were extraordinary and thoughtful with the characteristics of Zhongzhou.

The carefully selected mutant beast meat has been specially cooked, with a rich aroma and rich energy; the rare green seasonal vegetables are obviously the product of careful cultivation in the greenhouse; and the fruits produced by the war zone farms are dotted among them.

Each dish reflects the strong logistical support capabilities and attention to detail of the Zhongzhou Theater.

As the dishes were quickly served, the scene gradually quieted down, and all eyes were once again involuntarily cast on the excessively young general sitting in the main seat.

In response, Gu Chengyuan slowly stood up without taking his speech manuscript. His posture was as straight as a mountain, and his eyes swept across the audience calmly and powerfully.

He just stood there, without saying a word, and naturally became the absolute core of the entire power field.

He picked up the cup of tea in front of him, and his clear voice echoed in the quiet hall, clearly reaching the ears of every general:

"Everyone!"

Just two words lifted everyone's spirits.

"Today, the four of us are gathered here not for a lavish feast, but because we shoulder the same mission—to carve out a way out for hundreds of millions of our compatriots in this desperate apocalypse!"

His voice was not loud, but it carried the sound of metal and stone, and was resounding.

"The end of the world is merciless, but we have guns in our hands, faith in our hearts, and even greater determination. We are determined to join hands and unite to become the sharpest spear that pierces this darkness!!!"

"This is the first cup," Gu Chengyuan raised the teacup in his hand slightly:

“Salute to this land beneath our feet, which has endured many hardships but remains unyielding! Salute to all the soldiers and compatriots who have fought so hard for survival and hope in this apocalypse!”

"Respectfully," he said, his eyes sweeping over Wei Jingfang, Wu Xianglin, Zhou Wei, Wang Zhiming, and all the generals present.

"We four gather today to celebrate the coming victory!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals stood up and responded in unison, their voices shaking the roof tiles. No matter which war zone they came from, they were all moved by these short but powerful words and raised their glasses together.

Amidst the clinking of cups, a seemingly ordinary yet extremely unusual welcoming banquet officially began.

The significance of this banquet, which brought together the main forces after the end of the Zhou Dynasty, has long surpassed the food itself.
