Chapter 959: Out of the cage! Expanding the territory!!

"Finally, this is the main task for which I called you here this time!"

After chatting about some relatively trivial arrangements, Gu Chengyuan tapped twice with his fingertips on the world map that Pu Guangqiang had just spread out on the coffee table, causing the originally slightly relaxed atmosphere to suddenly become tense.

He looked up at Zhang Zhenguo, his eyes gradually becoming serious: "Regarding the matter of the railway troops opening up a passage to the south, I have finalized the plan."

"Chief, please give instructions!"

Hearing this, Railway Corps Commander Zhang Zhenguo, who was sitting on the sofa, subconsciously straightened his shoulders and abdomen and sat up straight.

As the commander of the railway troops, he smelled the smoke of gunpowder in the mission. The deployment that could make the highest commander in the theater use the word "finalized" was never an ordinary project.

"After careful consideration, I decided to build a railway trunk line from Ye Province to Southeast Asia to lay the artery for the next step of entering Southeast Asia."

"You are all aware of the fuel issues discussed at these energy security meetings. We don't have much time!"

"The only two ways to solve the energy crisis are to go north or south." Having said that, Gu Chengyuan wielded his fingers like a knife, heavily cutting through the two provinces of Qin and Gansu on the map, with such force that it almost pierced through the paper.

"But if we go north, we will have to face the Western Theater and the New Province Construction Corps. Without sufficient reasons, we can't turn the knife inward and seize power by trickery!"

"Because we are also the Zhou army, we are orthodox! We are not warlords who want to split the country, so unless the other side takes the initiative to provoke us, the shells must not fall on the land of our compatriots first - this is the bottom line!"

Zhang Zhenguo's knuckles left white marks on his knees. He had participated in three energy strategy meetings and was aware of the pain points of the northbound plan. The biggest problem was the moral issue. He was not in the right position...

Although many people say that "history is written by the victors", if the victors can really cover up everything, this sentence would not be spread...

Man does what he does, God watches. History will eventually give a true evaluation. It is only a matter of time.

As a member of the Zhongzhou War Zone, we are all soldiers with thoughts and beliefs. It is one thing to be outwardly friendly and another thing to be inwardly friendly. No one wants to be poked in the back and scolded a hundred years later...

"We will actively engage with the Western Theater and try to establish a cooperative relationship like the one we have with the Southern Theater, exchanging industry for oil!"

"But we can't put all our eggs in one basket, so going south is our second-hand preparation to protect our energy security!"

As he spoke, Gu Chengyuan pushed a document marked "top secret" in front of Zhang Zhenguo, the commander of the railway troops:

"The limit of your railway forces' extension represents the projection boundary of the war zone's power!"

"But what you have to do is not just laying rails. You have to build maintenance stations, supply stations, and defense posts wherever the rails extend. These 6,000 kilometers of railways must be able to produce blood like the spine and withstand shocks."

"After all, the railway is so long and deep in Southeast Asia that it is impossible to rely entirely on the support of the war zone. The war zone has neither supply nor supply lines that are too long!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenguo subconsciously frowned. "From what the commander said, the war zone wants to do nothing and rely entirely on the railway troops for free!"

"But there is no war zone. Can a railway unit alone support such a long transportation line?"

However, Gu Chengyuan's next words made him ecstatic:

"It's time for us to play our role and give back to the new strategic transportation channel that will be built in the war zone!"

“To this end, based on the policy I gave you last time, the theater will once again delegate more autonomy.”

"For example, contact with all survivors along the way, requisition of supplies and equipment, cooperation or elimination of strongholds - these matters, you Railway Corps have the right to handle independently."

"In other words, you railway troops can handle all matters along the railway line on your own!"

"The only thing that needs to be ensured is that the laying of the railway is completed on schedule and that the operation of this 'Southeastern Artery of the Pan-Asia Railway' is maintained on a regular basis in the subsequent process!"

"As I said before, the war zone will not extract any of the revenue generated. Apart from maintaining the railway, the rest can be used at your own discretion for the development of the railway forces!"

As Gu Chengyuan finished speaking, Zhang Zhenguo, commander of the theater railway troop, couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and subconsciously pressed most of his palm on the seal on the edge of the document bag, fearing that it would run away.

In the context of the chief's statement, the four words "autonomous disposal" are almost equivalent to assigning the area along the railway to the railway troops, or to put it more outrageously, to form an independent area or an independent kingdom!

"Commander, you are not testing me, are you?" Zhang Zhenguo swallowed subconsciously and turned his head to look around suspiciously.

Seeing Zhang Zhenguo's look, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but laugh. If he didn't trust the cadres in the system himself, who else could he trust?

Now he has figured it out further. Since the system has given him a 100% loyalty cheat, he should implement it to the end and let these capable cadres and leaders go out to fly appropriately!

Anyway, no matter how fat or thin you are, you will still be trapped in the cage built by the system and cannot fly out of your hands!

Since you want to achieve great things, you might as well be more open-minded!

"It's to give you the initiative." Gu Chengyuan stood up, walked to the window and pushed open a crack. The spring breeze blew on the glass, like the sound of shaking rails coming from afar.

"Sometimes I am also curious about how far this railway unit created by you and me can develop..."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenguo didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to feel that the chief's words contained both the novelty of playing with toys and expectations of his own abilities...

But no matter what, it couldn't stop Zhang Zhenguo from feeling hot all over as if he had a fever!

On the surface, the chief's words were to let the railway troops lay railways, but in reality they were giving the railway troops the opportunity to expand the territory!

Can the railway troops along the railway line make their own decisions? Then when the railway goes deep into the heart of Southeast Asia, the railway troops of the countries along the line can also make their own decisions, right?

So this is not just about laying railways, this is simply about expanding territory!

This has been the highest dream of Chinese men for thousands of years, and it is the honor that almost all soldiers dream of!

In the past, due to the pressure of public opinion from the international community and the risk of triggering a security war that would lead to being mired in war, the Chinese army, even though it had become strong to a certain extent, still maintained strong restraint in foreign wars!

After all, the lessons of the Soviet Union and the United States are not far away. Although the Soviet Union and the United States do not look strong, they have become the "imperial graveyard" that buried the national power of two great empires.

The value of the saying "A country, no matter how big it is, will perish if it is warlike" is still increasing rapidly even in modern times.

But now, in the end times, it is equivalent to lifting all constraints on powerful countries. Without having to consider international public opinion and with many extremely cruel means available, security warfare has become a joke!

Do you have the guts to try it out in the apocalypse?

Hiding in the forest? I was burning the mutant beasts, I didn't know there was anyone inside.

Hiding in the crowd? I thought they were all zombies, who can prove they were human?

You want to expose it? Where is the news media? Where is the Internet?

..

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhenguo, the railway commander of the war zone, suddenly felt as if something had awakened in his blood!

"Zhenguo! Zhenguo! So this is what my Zhenguo means? ! "
