Chapter 807 Fox Tail

"Hello, I'm Gu Chengyuan, may I ask who you are?"

Faced with the doubts of the young general in front of him, Li Xuemou, deputy commander of the Southern Theater Command, suddenly realized.

When I came here, I was only concerned about the more than 1200 million crystal cores and forgot to inform myself as the team leader.

Thinking of this, Li Xuemou, deputy commander of the Southern Theater Command, introduced himself with a smile:

"Hello, Commander Gu. I am Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater. I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today I finally get to meet you in person!"

The Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command? This... How come he was not notified in advance of a deputy theater commander-level position?

Could it be that Zhou Guihong was so dazzled by the crystal core that he forgot about the original owner?

Thinking of this, Gu Chengyuan frowned, turned his head slightly to look at Zhou Guihong who was carrying a field operation bag, and said in feigned anger:

"Staff Officer Zhou, what's going on? Why didn't Chief of Staff Li report such a big event in advance? This is outrageous!"

?

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Guihong, who was suddenly scolded, was also confused...

No, boss, who are you? No one told me you were coming? That's not how you give surprises, right?

If a person of this level was missed, it would be a major accident even if a major general chief of staff came, not to mention a lieutenant colonel...

This pot is bigger than the sky!

So almost in an instant, Lieutenant Colonel Staff Officer Zhou Guihong was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, Li Xuemou, the chief of staff of the Southern Theater, did not intend to trick this young staff officer, so he quickly explained:

"Commander Gu, please don't blame this young comrade. It's my fault. There was a problem with the notification process when we came here, and we didn't report it in time!"

Not fully informed?

Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan was silent for a moment...

.....

After explaining to Gu Chengyuan, Li Xuemou, the chief of staff of the Southern Theater, turned to Zhou Guihong and apologized sincerely:

"Little comrade, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I've wronged you!"

After the words fell, Zhou Guihong did not feel that she had been vindicated. Instead, she quickly reviewed her mistakes:

"The chief deserves to scold me. It's true that I didn't do my job well!"

"It was such a big deal, but I didn't even think of asking who the leader of the press was. This shows that I haven't really done my job well and in detail."

"Small criticism leads to small progress, big criticism leads to big progress. You don't have to apologize to me. Instead, I should thank you and the chief for giving me this opportunity to improve and find my shortcomings in my work!"

"Please rest assured, Chief. I will work even harder next time!" Zhou Guihong assured Gu Chengyuan in front of her at the end.

Zhou Guihong's remarks were ingenious. She used herself as a stepping stone so that the two leaders in front of her would not have to feel embarrassed about the mistake that had just occurred.

As for who is right and who is wrong, does it matter?

It is not terrible to make mistakes. The core of the problem lies in the leader and how the leader views the mistake you made.

And now the "mistake" Zhou Guihong made was a very good one, as it made Gu Chengyuan's embarrassment of scolding the wrong person dissipate a lot, and even the embarrassment of the Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command was relieved.

The two of them naturally knew that Zhou Guihong was intentionally giving them a way out, but it just felt good to hear it!

So almost at the same time, Gu Chengyuan and the Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater both looked at Zhou Guihong with softer expressions.

In particular, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, praised directly: "Commander Gu, your Night Province Military District is really a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

"Even this little comrade speaks in a set way, hahaha~"

"Hahaha, your words are adding burden to our military region, but Comrade Guihong has always been diligent and studious, down-to-earth and hardworking. She is indeed a capable and good cadre!"

In response to the praise from Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command, Gu Chengyuan was also generous with his praise.

So in just such a short moment, Zhou Guihong turned the situation around with her emotional intelligence!

......

After a brief greeting, Gu Chengyuan extended an invitation to Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater:

"Chief of Staff Li must be hungry after this long journey. Just leave this to the people below. Let's go eat first. You can also take a good rest after the meal!"

Although Gu Chengyuan was already a little impatient, he still remained rational and did not immediately push aside Li Xuemou, the Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater.

"The guest should follow the host's wishes. Commander Gu, please make all the arrangements as you see fit. Come as you please. I came here this time not only to escort the crystal core, but also to see you and have a chat with you."

Hearing the slightly profound words of the Southern Theater Chief of Staff, Gu Chengyuan reacted almost instantly, but he did not point it out, but smiled and said:

"No problem, after you have lunch and rest, we'll have plenty of time to chat in the evening!"

Hearing this, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command, smiled even more brightly!

"Okay, okay, then I'm really looking forward to communicating with you, Commander Gu, tonight!"

"Oh? Then you're not looking forward to lunch later?"

"Ah? Hahaha, I'm looking forward to it. The day before yesterday, I heard from the comrades from the Night Group that they were full of praise for your office cafeteria!"

"It seems like I'm in for a treat this time, hahaha~~"

.....

In this way, Gu Chengyuan took the Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command back to the canteen of the Ye Province Military Region.

On the way back, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command, kept looking at everything inside the Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle, and asked the driver many questions about relevant parameters intentionally or unintentionally.

After some questioning, the Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command was full of praise for the Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle under him!

At first, Gu Chengyuan thought that the other party was just exchanging commercial praises, so he didn't take the praise from Li Xuemou, the Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command, seriously.

But when he got off the car in front of the headquarters building and saw the other party circling around the last few Bobcat all-terrain weapon platforms parked at the end of the convoy, he finally realized that the other party seemed to have a fox tail up!

How is this look of wanting something so badly different from a fox drooling around a hen?

So, the Southern Theater Command is not satisfied with just importing individual weapons and ammunition? Is it also considering importing its own equipment?

..

Gu Chengyuan's guess was correct. The reason why the Southern Theater sent the Chief of Staff here was to evaluate the equipment of the Night Province and test its attitude in this regard...

In the absence of logistical support, the Southern Theater of War has been fighting from the end of the world until now, and there are huge gaps in equipment in all aspects.

The issue of firearms is relatively easy to deal with. Without considering the law, even many ordinary people in the society can make their own, let alone the southern war zone.

However, it is not so easy to build large armored units. The scope involved is too wide and the requirements for the relevant industrial chain are also very high. With the industrial categories currently occupied by the Southern Theater, it is still a long way to go before the restoration of self-production...

But the key armored equipment is also a powerful weapon for fighting zombies and mutant beasts and conducting urban warfare. It will be impossible to recapture the city later without it!

So after comprehensive consideration, Chief of Staff Li Xuemou was ordered to come and investigate the situation with the careful thoughts of the Southern Theater...
