Chapter 672 Lu Chong is more authoritative than the armed helicopter
When the canteen on the third floor of the provincial military district headquarters was first being renovated, Shao Gang, then director of the provincial military district's logistics department, specifically instructed that a 40-square-meter private room be cordoned off on the north side.
The box is surrounded by soundproofing materials and a half-meter-long ebony plaque is hung on the door, with three large official script characters "Lijian Hall" engraved on it. The lacquer is as black as ink, and the edges are decorated with dark gold cloud patterns. The overall style is simple and elegant.
This private room was originally built for Gu Chengyuan to eat, but it was never used once.
Because when Gu Chengyuan wanted to eat, he would either ask Pu Guangqiang to call him directly to his office, or he would eat in the cafeteria.
Gu Chengyuan always keeps in mind the teachings of his ancestors that one should not be separated from the masses.
...
"Comrades, the private rooms are ready, please come in!"
At the entrance of Lijian Hall, the canteen manager who had been waiting for a long time came forward immediately when he saw Gu Chengyuan and others arriving.
"Okay, go and arrange for the dishes to be served quickly. The leaders are all hungry!" Shao Gang, deputy commander of the provincial military region, turned his head and communicated with the canteen manager.
"Yes, Chief, I'll arrange it right away!"
After seeing the canteen manager leave, Shao Gang, deputy commander of the provincial military region, reported to Gu Chengyuan again:
"Commander, everything has been arranged. The food will be here soon. You and Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo please come in first."
"Ok!"
Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan nodded slightly, and then made a gesture of invitation to Zhengguo:
"Captain, shall we go in first?"
"Okay, okay, Commander Gu, please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chengyuan, Yu Zhengguo and his group walked into the private room.
The walls of the 40-square-meter private room are covered with dark olive green velvet, which is elegant and grand.
On the north wall hangs a yellowed painting of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". The ink-black mountains look like the back of a crouching dragon, and the inscription is stamped with the seal of Zhou Bang, a founding general in the 1960s.
As to whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify it, because it was picked up by the troops when they recaptured the area occupied by zombies. At that time, the owner of the painting had even his bones rotten, so it is really difficult to ask.
There is a row of camphor wood cabinets on the south wall, with blue and white porcelain tableware neatly stacked inside the glass doors. The edges of each bowl and dish are painted with mini Great Wall patterns in gold, and the glaze is warm yet sharp.
In the center is a large round table that is two inches thick. The tabletop is split from a whole piece of rosewood. It is not painted, but only polished with beeswax to bring out the natural texture. The annual rings are as densely coiled as the contour lines on a battlefield.
The table was covered with a dark red woolen tablecloth, with copper weights hanging on the four corners to hold down the wrinkles. The brass edging along the edge of the table had long since oxidized and turned black, but it made it look more solemn.
After entering the room, everyone took their seats one by one.
Eagle's Calligraphy [Collector's Edition]
Gu Chengyuan, as the host, sat in the north, facing the gate. Shao Gang, deputy commander of the provincial military region, as the deputy host, sat opposite Gu Chengyuan with his back against the gate.
Yu Zhengguo, as the guest of honor, was arranged to sit on Gu Chengyuan's right, and Yao Zhihe, the equipment minister of the 77th Army Corps, as the deputy guest of honor, sat on Gu Chengyuan's left.
As for Chief of Staff Wu Bin, he had something else to do in the afternoon and could not drink, so he could only sit to the right of Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo as his third companion.
As soon as everyone sat down, a team of pretty and heroic female soldiers came in, bringing freshly brewed tea and warming up the dishes for each leader present.
As the crystal clear tea poured down from the tableware, the entire private room instantly became filled with the fragrance of tea, making people feel relaxed and happy.
During this process, the office canteen also began to serve dishes one after another.
In order to entertain Yu Zhengguo and other visiting delegations well, more importantly, it is to show enough attention.
The meal was not prepared by the soldiers from the kitchen squad, but by three top-notch chefs who were transferred from the canteen of the Provincial Standing Committee in advance. They used the state banquet menu and prepared the meal carefully.
Of course, although it is called a state banquet dish, it is not a complete replica due to the shortage of supplies in the end times, and many raw materials are replaced based on existing ingredients.
There are not many dishes, divided into five categories: cold dishes, main dishes, soups, staple foods, and desserts.
The dishes are crystal braised pork with peony pastry, five delicacies of splendour, boiled cabbage, crab meat stewed with lion head, smoked fish with Longjing tea, Buddha jumps over the wall, three-color dumpling banquet, and harmonious double treasures.
There are eight dishes in total, following the eight-character principle of "large quantity, filling, colorful and fragrant"!
After the meal, the representatives of the 77th Legion were almost dizzy with the aroma. They praised the meal highly and said it was the best meal they had ever had since the end of the world!
Only Gu Chengyuan secretly felt that it was just average. It wasn't because the chef's cooking skills were bad, but because it didn't have much spiciness.
Yes, Gu Chengyuan admitted that as a native of Ye Province, he was indeed like a wild boar who could not chew fine bran.
He only has one criterion to judge whether food is delicious or not: whether it is spicy
It tastes good if it is spicy, but it tastes bad if it is not spicy. As for the so-called salty and fresh tastes and other tastes, they are all generally described as "bland".
"It's really not as good as rice with chili peppers," Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
...
After eating and drinking, it was the male soldiers who came in to clear the tableware, clean the table, and make tea.
The reason for this change was mainly because when the female soldier came in just now, the deputy commander of the provincial military region, Shao Gang, keenly noticed that his leader had glared at him obscurely.
So during the meal, Shao Gang went to the toilet and quickly went out to find the person in charge to explain everything again, which led to the current scene.
It’s not that Gu Chengyuan is unromantic and has to make a big deal out of it, but the occasion and identities are wrong. If the person who just came in was a professional waitress, Gu Chengyuan wouldn’t have reacted so strongly.
There are more men than women in the military, so we must pay more attention to the impact on gender issues!
It should be noted that many corruptions and degenerations start with the confusion in relationships between men and women, so Gu Chengyuan is particularly sensitive in this regard.
Whether it is normal prevention or overcorrection, we must firmly adhere to this red line.
Apart from their absolute loyalty, system warriors are completely like real people in other aspects, with their own emotions and desires.
Once such a gap is opened, it will definitely cause extremely bad consequences in the future!
Therefore, Gu Chengyuan did not intend to let this matter go easily. Instead, he prepared to severely criticize Shao Gang afterwards and let him make a profound review of 30,000 words on his own!
...
After all the male soldiers who were cleaning up left, a cup of steaming sobering tea was placed in front of each person on the table.
After getting tipsy, everyone in the box felt as if they were in a hot spring, warm and light, with both body and mind in a very relaxed state.
In this state, everyone's defenses were quietly removed...
There was an unconscious sense of closeness in the way they looked at each other, and their expressions and tones were like those of brothers.
This is why many people like to talk about things over wine, because alcohol can quickly bring people closer together.
Because of this, Yu Zhengguo, with a red face, was no longer serious and steady as before drinking, and he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly:
"Commander Gu, regarding the issue of receiving the survivors from Beibei District and Yucheng, do you have any plans?"
"To be honest, I plan to mobilize the troops to head north as soon as I get back!"
"I was worried about the problem of combat supplies before, but now with your and the Ye Province Military Region's strong support, I have nothing to worry about anymore."
"The only thing we can't let go of now is the order and safety of the survivors after our main force moves north."
Survivors from the Beibei gathering area and Yubei area?
After hearing Yu Zhengguo's words, Gu Chengyuan, who felt a little dizzy, reacted slightly, and then immediately had an idea.
"Don't worry, Brother Yu. I plan to assign the task of receiving the survivors to the 1st Air Assault Brigade!"
"1st Air Assault Brigade?"
Yu Zhengguo repeated it with a slightly dazed look in his eyes, and a spectacular scene of a group of helicopters flying all over the sky quickly emerged in his mind.
At this moment, the person involved, Gu Chengyuan, had Lu Chong's arrogant and unruly look in his mind.
In his mind, to deal with... ahem...
To protect the survivors, Lu Chong is obviously more authoritative than the armed helicopter...
I can only hope that the survivors in Yubei will behave themselves. Lu Chong is not as kind as me and cannot stand seeing bloodshed...
No more tonight
