Chapter 913 Communication

Night Market Zhongzhou War Zone Office Building

dong dong dong~

"report!"

"Enter!"

When there was a knock on the door, Gu Chengyuan, dressed in a neat general's uniform and in high spirits, was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the office, admiring the beautiful scenery in the direction of Shili River Beach in the distance with a calm expression.

As the night market enters mid-spring, it has truly arrived the season of abundant rain. At this moment, it is drizzling outside the window. Under the halo of morning mist, the continuous green mountains in the direction of Shili River Beach look like a beautiful scene of misty rain.

As Gu Chengyuan's gaze moved downward, the weeping willows along the opposite side of Yue Lake in front of the office building had grown lush branches and leaves, swaying gracefully in the breeze.

Several cherry blossom trees are in full bloom, with their petals pink and translucent, like crushed clouds in the sky falling into the lakeside.

When fine raindrops brushed across the branches, scattered petals fell and floated on the mirror-like surface of the lake, it looked like a few pink and white boats were dotted around, slowly swaying with the waves.

nice!

When Gu Chengyuan saw this scenery when he woke up early, he was in a very good mood!

"Chief!"

Zhang Zhenguo, deputy commander of the theater with the rank of lieutenant general and a figure as tall as a pine tree, quietly came behind Gu Chengyuan and gave him a reminder in a gentle tone.

"Oh? It's Deputy Commander Zhang! Come on, sit down!"

Gu Chengyuan turned around and saw that it was his deputy commander, so he quickly smiled and greeted him warmly.

In order to better appreciate the spring scenery, Gu Chengyuan has ordered the sofa set in the reception area to be moved in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and there is also a room of about 30 square meters next door that is being renovated.

Once the decoration is completed, Gu Chengyuan's office can be instantly increased to 75 square meters by simply breaking through the wall with the next room, with larger and longer floor-to-ceiling windows and an office area.

"Guangqiang, let's make Jin Junmei this time. Deputy Commander Zhang rarely comes over, so he can help me try the tea and see if that kid Lu Chong is fooling me!" As the two of them sat down, Gu Chengyuan immediately shouted to Pu Guangqiang in the corner of the office.

"Jin Jun Mei is a fully fermented black tea. It is warm and soothing to the stomach. It has moderate caffeine and is refreshing without hurting the stomach. The one Lu Chong sent is the first harvest. It is said to be 'clear as gold, sweet as honey'."

"Anyway, it's so awesome, I've never been willing to drink it. Now that you're here, I'll have to take advantage of you, Deputy Commander Zhang, and taste it. Hahaha~"

As he spoke, Gu Chengyuan's hearty laughter rang out, and the gloomy atmosphere in the office due to the rain suddenly brightened up a lot.

Hearing this, a smile flashed across the sharp-edged face of Zhang Zhenguo, the deputy commander of the theater. "Although I don't know much about tea, but the chief's Jin Jun Mei must be top-grade. The tea hasn't even been brewed yet, but the fragrance of the tea has already drifted over with the raindrops—"

At this point, Zhang Zhenguo, deputy commander of the theater, changed the subject and said with an embarrassed expression:

"I just didn't expect that I had troubled Commander Lu for a big favor last night. I hadn't even had the dinner he invited me to, but this morning I had the tea he sent me. I really owe him more and more favors~"

"Oh? What great help did Lu Chong give you last night?" Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan became interested.

As he was speaking, Pu Guangqiang, who held the rank of lieutenant, had already come to the tea table. He picked up the silver kettle skillfully and poured boiling water into the white porcelain covered bowl with exquisite and warm glaze in front of Gu Chengyuan and Zhang Zhenguo.

The next second, the hot steam with the aroma of tea rose up and spread, and the whole office was quickly permeated with the light aroma of honey and fruit...

Watching the tea leaves tumbling and dancing under the impact of the water, the golden tea hairs floating like broken gold, and then slowly sinking to the bottom of the bowl, Deputy Commander Zhang Zhenguo of the theater said with embarrassment:

"I received an emergency report at midnight last night that a railway battalion under the Railway Corps was suddenly besieged by a large number of mutant creatures in the Banan Tunnel Group and was in imminent danger!"

"Commander, you also know that the railway troops are short of everything right now. Most of the troops are working on the 'Ye-Nan Transport Line'. The troops surrounding the 'Ye-Yu Transport Line' can only maintain daily operations and cannot spare any strength to rescue..."

"So in a desperate situation, we can only ask Commander Lu of the Yucheng Military Region for help, and beg him to mobilize the army to help..."

"Just barely functioning", "can't spare the strength", "beg", "implore"...

Gu Chengyuan almost instinctively extracted these key words from the words of Zhang Zhenguo, deputy commander of the theater.

How can this be an explanation of the situation? Between the lines, it is clear that he is playing a pity game...

As for what the purpose of playing the victim was, having been a leader for so long, Gu Chengyuan naturally saw through it in an instant.

"Old Zhang, I was a little dizzy when I woke up so early in the morning. I wanted to drink some tea to refresh myself, but you are beating around the bush again!"

"Come on, just tell me what you want to do. You are the deputy commander of a theater and a deputy theater-level leader. Can you be more generous and say what you want to say?"

A battalion of troops, or a problem caused by mutant creatures, is not a big deal at all for someone at Gu Chengyuan's level. He is too lazy to argue around with the other party on this issue. He has neither the energy nor the time.

This may sound cruel, but it is also true. A person's energy is limited, especially as the Zhongzhou War Zone is now expanding, with troops being deployed and stationed everywhere. There is too much work to be done and too many meetings to be held every day.

In order to reduce the burden and improve efficiency, we can only selectively focus on the big and let go of the small. Problems involving a battalion should be the concerns of the brigade commander, military district commander, and various coordination departments in the theater. Otherwise, are these people just there to eat for nothing?

What's more, even before the battle to retake Yucheng began, the normal daily casualties of all troops in the entire war zone totaled nearly 4 to 5 people.

There are accidental infections, sneak attacks by mutant creatures, combat sacrifices, car accidents, training accidents, and many other kinds of losses...

After the battle to recapture Yucheng began, the situation became even more serious. In the first few days of the battle, the battle report showed that the total number of casualties in the three columns of the east, west and north was almost 3000, which was equivalent to a traditional reinforced regiment...

This is what the end of the world is like. It is impossible for people not to die. Everyone should be prepared...

The greatest success of the Zhongzhou War Zone is that it has basically controlled the casualties caused by the end of the world at the military level, preventing it from falling on ordinary survivors.

'Combatants fight, producers produce', these 12 short words, not to mention after the end of the world, even before the end of the world, are something that a large number of countries cannot achieve.
