Chapter 727 Preparations for the Three Battles after the New Year

"You've worked hard, drink some water!"

When the chief of staff came back, Gu Chengyuan, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled and patted the other's arm with concern.

"Hahaha, thank you, Chief!"

When Wu Bin smiled, his pair of phoenix eyes with big bags under them narrowed subconsciously, and very obvious wrinkles immediately appeared on both sides of the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but sigh, the Chief of Staff has aged a little too fast in recent times...

It turns out that work makes people old...

This is the result of Deputy Commander Shao Gang's efforts to help share the burden, otherwise the work might have been even more devastating...

Just when Gu Chengyuan was sighing, Xu Liang, director of the Organization Department, announced again that the conference had entered the second item, the deployment of work after the New Year!

"Now we would like to invite the Deputy Commander of the Provincial Military Region, Chief Shaogang, to make arrangements for the military region's post-New Year work!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Gang, who was on the other side of Gu Chengyuan, immediately stood up and walked towards the podium with the documents in his hand.

"Good afternoon, leaders and comrades! Next, I will make arrangements for the work after the New Year!"

"After the New Year, our military region headquarters will have three major tasks, which I call "two guarantees and one preparation"!"

"That is, to ensure two army-level battles and prepare for one army-level battle!"

"The two army-level battles that are about to be launched are the battle to recapture Yucheng and the battle to advance eastward to Xiangzhou. The army-level battle that needs to be prepared is the battle to recapture Yeshi!"

"After comprehensive analysis of the current situation by the Military Commission of the Provincial Military Region, our opportunity to recapture Yucheng and enter Xiangzhou Province has arrived!"

"This time, the battle in Yucheng will be led by the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district, with the Provincial Military District as the support. The mission goal is to recapture all districts and counties except the 9 districts in the main city of Yucheng!"

"Except for Zhanjiang, Jiangjin, and Beibei, which are already in our hands, there are still 26 districts and counties left, including Dianjiang, Fengdu, Zhongzhou, Yunyang, Tongliang, Dazu, Rongchang, and Bishan!"

"The entire battle involves a population of about 4000 million people, and the number of zombies that need to be eliminated is initially estimated to be around 2700 million!"

"The provincial military district estimates that the overall operation time will be three months!"

At this point, Deputy Commander Shao Gang paused for a moment, took a breath, and then continued:

"According to the calculation of the Operations Department, after the battle to retake Yucheng begins, in order to ensure that the troops can fight at a high intensity and continuously, the monthly material consumption will be around 23 tons!"

“包括20万吨弹药、2万吨油料、4000吨军粮和80吨饮用水（水源尽量就近解决），最后还有1万吨的装甲装备、火炮、车辆、枪支等军械维修替换部件。”

“其中，20万吨弹药内含122毫米坦克弹药3万发，以155mm榴弹为主、含10%制导炮弹的火炮炮弹40万发，各口径火箭弹5万发、防空导弹5000发、单兵弹药10亿发（含5.8mm步枪弹、手榴弹、火箭筒等等。）”

"As for the eastward advance to Xiangzhou led by the Tongren Military Sub-district, the consumption will be slightly less due to the size of the troops and the nature of the operations, but at least 15 tons of combat supplies must be guaranteed per month."

hiss~

Speaking of this, we haven't even mentioned the battle to retake Ye Province yet, but the monthly consumption of combat supplies has already reached nearly 40 tons...

Large-scale military operations are indeed so terrifying!

Seeing this scale of consumption, even the colonels and captains in the front row couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Not to mention Gu Chengyuan, who was sitting in the center of the rostrum. He knew the concept of 40 tons of combat supplies better than anyone else...

According to the system ratio, that is a full 2 million gold coins...

Even though it is impossible to reach such high-intensity consumption every month throughout the entire combat operation, the total amount for a single operation should not be less than 50!

In other words, just to win the battle to recapture Yucheng, at least 2.5 million gold coins will be consumed...

The overall estimated profit = 2500 million brain cores collected (200 million included in war damage and loss) x the current average price of brain core system 13 = 3.25 million gold

3.25 million - 2.5 million = 0.75 million

Well, yes, although the cost is huge, the rewards are also huge!

According to a rough estimate, after the entire battle to recapture Yucheng, Gu Chengyuan will be able to gain at least 7500 million in monetary benefits!

Not only will you have more than enough money to advance to a new war zone, you can even exchange for some new soldiers to try out!

This is why Gu Chengyuan supports launching two army-level battles at the same time!

Because it’s real money! You can get rich overnight!

But the logistical pressure was also huge, so huge that even if he used cheats, he could not cope with it.

So the only way is to change the rhythm of the battle, just like between men and women.

The initial troops will attack slowly and gently, advancing gradually. When the war proceeds in the middle and late stages are realized and there is enough money to exchange for supplies, they will then go straight to the heart of the matter and launch a fierce attack!

The overall basic situation has been formed with the Yucheng battlefield as the main force, the Xiangzhou battlefield as the auxiliary, and the night market battlefield in continuous silent preparation.

At the same time, during this period of time, the troops deployed in various regions cannot sit idle and must be mobilized to clear as many zombies as possible and collect as many zombie brain cores as possible to increase supplies in preparation for a full-scale war next year!

...

Half an hour later, as the annual summary and deployment meeting came to a close, before it ended, Xu Liang, director of the Organization Department, trotted over to Gu Chengyuan and bowed his head to ask for instructions:

"Commander, do you have anything to say?"

Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan raised his head and faced the expectant gazes of hundreds of staff officers in the audience.

"Then say a few words!" Gu Chengyuan chuckled, his face showing an unusually warm expression.

After taking the microphone, Gu Chengyuan, dressed in a neat military uniform, stood up and walked to the front of the stage.

At this moment, all the lights on the podium seemed to be focused on him. His every step moved the hearts of the audience, shining brightly as if they were glowing.

"After nearly two and a half hours of meeting, everyone must be tired, right?" Gu Chengyuan asked with a smile.

"If you feel tired, just move around a bit, twist your neck, or scratch your itch, because what I'm going to talk about next has nothing to do with work, so there's no need to be so tense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one could clearly feel the whole audience relax. Seeing this, Gu Chengyuan nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, that's it, work is work, life is life!"

"Just now, the Chief of Staff, the Deputy Commander, and the leaders of the organization talked to you about work, so in the end, I will talk to you about life."

"The New Year is coming soon. Have you prepared the New Year's goods? Has the government prepared anything?"

As he spoke, Gu Chengyuan glanced at the first row of leaders below the stage, and immediately a colonel stood up and reported:

"Report to the Chief, everything is ready. We will distribute it at three times the standard of the Provincial Standing Committee!"

"It's all right as long as you're ready. After all, these New Year's goods are also our agency's combat supplies. They must be distributed in full to everyone! No more, no less!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

"But there is one thing I want to emphasize first. I said more, not less. I am not asking you leaders to take more, but asking the soldiers below to take more!"

hahaha~

Gu Chengyuan was rarely humorous, and the people in the audience were very considerate and laughed in unison.

"This year, everyone here has performed very well. It is precisely because of the hard work of all comrades that our provincial military region has achieved such a rapid development momentum!"

"I won't take you through the specific contributions. The Chief of Staff has already mentioned them all during his summary!"

"Finally, I want to say that I wish everyone a happy new year in advance. I hope everyone eats well, has fun, and rests well during the Chinese New Year!"

"As long as safety and order are ensured, everyone should be happy and have a good first Spring Festival after the end of the world!"

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa~~

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into warm applause. The emotions were so high that they almost made the ceiling of the conference room bulge!

...

"stand up!"

"Comrade Commander, the provincial military region's annual summary and deployment meeting has come to an end. Please give your instructions!"

"Organize all units to leave in an orderly manner!"

"Yes!"
