Chapter 636: You pay me and I’ll leave!

silence....

Just when Yu Zhengguo thought that the other party wanted to play Tai Chi with him, he didn't know that the next second, Gu Chengyuan said something shocking:

"Why are there no common people in this statement?"

On the way here, Yu Zhengguo thought that the other party might have many answers, but he never thought that it would be this...

interesting!

As expected of a provincial military and political chief in his early 20s, his words are unstoppable!

But Yu Zhengguo was obviously no pushover. He only took half a second to react and then blurted out:

"Aren't the people here? Why do we need to ask ourselves?"

"Hahaha~ Yes, we are all common people!"

When Gu Chengyuan smiled, the serious atmosphere in the room melted away instantly, and the flashes of swords and sabers disappeared without a trace.

In just two short sentences, the two foxes, Yu Zhengguo and Gu Chengyuan, one old and one young, had already exchanged their positions.

Yu Zhengguo’s words may not be true, but Gu Chengyuan’s are definitely true!

What royal family, imperial court, and business association?

I'm so unfamiliar!

I only know the system!

But it was obvious that Yu Zhengguo was not completely satisfied with Gu Chengyuan's answer, so he continued to ask:

"Then from the perspective of the common people, how does Commander Gu view the royal family, the imperial court, and the business association?"

"Compared with the current situation, none of this is important, right?" Gu Chengyuan asked subconsciously.

Apart from being on guard, what he wanted to do most now was to eliminate the apocalypse and restore civilization. He did not want to get involved in the struggle between factions prematurely.

It's the end of the world now. It doesn't matter whether the people who fought before are alive or not. Why are you fussing about all this?

It would be better to wait another year or two, gather the willpower of all the zombies, and then push them away one by one!

Hearing this, Yu Zhengguo nodded, thinking that what Gu Chengyuan said made sense, but he continued to ask:

"It's important, but not that important. Just consider it as satisfying the curiosity of an old man like me."

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide anything. I am on the side of the imperial court, but I stand on the side of the people!" As he spoke, Yu Zhengguo's expression was very calm.

In order to reach the top, he experienced many twists and turns, but he did not betray his beliefs and he had a clear conscience.

In Zhou Bang, there must be a ceiling to one's abilities.

For example, in the military, the upper limit of ability is colonel. If you want to go higher, it has nothing to do with personal ability.

The step from colonel to general is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, and it all depends on the help of noble people.

After all, they are all colonels, so who among the competitors doesn’t have their own skills?

Why should you be the general?

Therefore, Yu Zhengguo was able to become the commander of the 77th Legion, and naturally he had factional support behind him.

...

Gu Chengyuan didn't expect the other party to say it so bluntly. He thought they would continue to test each other for a while.

The court's faction? The people's side?

interesting...

Now that things have come to this, if I continue to play Tai Chi, it would seem like I am a coward, so Gu Chengyuan said in a firm tone:

"I am not a member of any faction. If you must argue, then I stand with the people. I hope the country will be prosperous and the people will be strong!"

"To be more specific, national interests are my personal interests!"

Gu Chengyuan's words hit the ground with such force that the whole room fell into a brief silence.

...

"Good! Good! Well said!"

Yu Zhengguo suddenly clapped his hands and stood up, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes as he looked at Gu Chengyuan.

"Commander Gu, to be honest, I really admire you a little bit!"

"If you really supported the entire Night Province Military Region by yourself, and you can say this today, I can only say that you are better than me!"

"I finally understand why those soldiers under your command support you so much!"

Yu Zhengguo's sudden praise made Gu Chengyuan slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and subconsciously said modestly:

"No, no, you are my senior, I also want to learn from you."

"Okay, but you need to pay a small tuition fee, 1000 tons of combat supplies!"

?

Gu Chengyuan's expression froze and he looked at Yu Zhengguo to confirm whether the other party was joking with him.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhengguo met Gu Chengyuan's gaze and admitted it directly and openly:

"I'm not kidding. I came here to borrow food from Commander Gu!"

?

Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan's mind became even more confused. Putting aside the question of whether to lend supplies or not, the problem was that the other party's jump was too big?

Could it be that they heard that I was standing up for the national interest, so they came to take advantage of me? ?

Do you really think of yourself as a country??!

"It's not a free loan. I'll exchange it for Yucheng!" Yu Zhengguo once again dropped a bombshell.

Seeing the inactive expression on Yu Zhengguo's face, Gu Chengyuan quickly became serious.

"Captain Yu Zhengguo, we represent both Ye and Yu, don't joke with us!"

As if hearing the warning in Gu Chengyuan's tone, Yu Zhengguo emphasized again:

"I'm not kidding. I came here to borrow supplies. I'm serious about exchanging Yucheng for supplies!"

After listening, Gu Chengyuan only said these three words:

"why?"

What he wanted to know most was why the 77th Legion gave up Yucheng for no reason.

Not long ago, a nuclear bomb was even dropped on Yucheng. With such a huge sunk cost, can you just give it up?

Are there too many nuclear bombs to burn? Throwing them randomly? Or is there a big problem that can't be solved by throwing nuclear bombs?

Gu Chengyuan must get to the bottom of this issue!

"why?"

Speaking of this, Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Although Yucheng is a Feng Shui treasure land, our army does not have such a strong foundation as yours, so we can't stand here even if we want to!"

"This time we came here to collect supplies, mainly to prepare for the journey north to Sichuan!"

Through the conversation just now, Yu Zhengguo has initially let down his guard, so he is more blunt when he speaks at this time.

Moreover, the reality he faced forced him to choose to believe and pray that what the other party said was true.

"Although Shu Province is also a large southwestern province with a large population, it is different from Yucheng. The distance between cities in Shu Province is much farther, and there are vast wilderness as a buffer!"

"Instead of living cautiously like in the main urban area of ​​Yucheng, fearing that one careless move would lead to being caught in a vast ocean of fighting against zombies!"

"After entering Shu, we only need to take over one city, and we can truly develop with peace of mind!"

Speaking of this, Yu Zhengguo's tone was very frank. Since they had already asked to borrow supplies, there was no point in bluffing. It would be better to make it sound more miserable and win the sympathy of the brother troops.

After he finished speaking, Gu Chengyuan picked up the almost cold tea in front of him and took a sip, while constantly pondering what Yu Zhengguo said in his heart.

Yu Zhengguo's statement can be regarded as a pleasant surprise for him, who was determined to win Yucheng.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, the Zhanjiang Military Region has already fought to the bank of the Yangtze River. If it wants to continue to expand its victory in Yucheng, it must cross the Yangtze River and fight northward.

By that time, the 77th Legion would be a behemoth that could not be avoided no matter what.

How to deal with this is what Gu Chengyuan and Chief of Staff Wu Bin have been thinking about...

But apart from the worst option of military action, the two men really couldn't find any effective solution.

But now, Yu Zhengguo, the commander of the 77th Legion, said to him personally: You pay me and I'll leave!

Is there such a good thing? ?
