Southern guerrilla warfare: I led the Red Seventh Army Corps to amassed a million troops.

Su Yu glanced around and confirmed that it was just the two of them in the command post.

He leaned close to Zhou Zeyuan's ear and whispered, "Could you kick that guy down?"

Zhou Zeyuan was struck dumb!

No, am I the time traveler, or are you the time traveler?

Could someone from the Republic of China era have come up with such a bold idea and such an unconventional way of fighting?

Oh, that person is Su Yu, that makes perfect sense.

After all, no one can truly fathom his thought process.

Seeing Zhou Zeyuan's stunned expression, Su Yu gently patted his shoulder. "Zeyuan, what's wrong? Is this too difficult? I was just making a bold assumption. It's okay if you can't do it. You don't need to make things too hard for yourself."

Zhou Zeyuan slapped his hand away. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's easy to kick him down. He's resigned more than once or twice. I'm thinking, if he's gone, I can't get back up. Why kick him?"

"With him gone, we'll have one less opponent, and the revolutionary cause will usher in a new chapter!" Su Yu's answer was perfectly reasonable, and this was also the thought of many people.

Zhou Zeyuan directly rejected his idea: "If that's the case, then the revolutionary cause will inevitably suffer another major setback sooner or later. I've told you more than once that our biggest opponent has never been just the Kuomintang reactionaries; they are merely a stumbling block on our path forward."

"Yes, if we remove this stumbling block, won't our progress be much smoother?"

Zhou Zeyuan explained, "Only when we become stronger will we have a smoother path. Moreover, relatively speaking, the current leadership of the Kuomintang is truly bad. But their badness is logical; we can predict their next move and deal with them more effectively."

"If an unreliable leader comes in, he might just sell the country out in a flash."

That's right, we're talking about Wang Tianhai.

This man is now the vice president of the Kuomintang. Before he defected to the Japanese and became a traitor, he still enjoyed great prestige both at home and abroad.

If he really gets promoted, Zhou Zeyuan might have to resort to unconventional methods to complete the work that Wang Yaqiao never finished!

Let's get rid of this menace before it's too late!

These words only made Su Yu more confused. Everyone hated the captain, so why was Zhou Zeyuan the only one who acted so rationally?

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Zeyuan, why do I feel like you treat the brigade leader the same way you treat Jiang Dingwen?"

Zhou Zeyuan slammed his hand on the table. "Hey, you've hit the nail on the head! This is called hating someone's virtue but treasuring their talent."

"Our opponents can actually be divided into the National Revolutionary Army and the Nationalist Government. Without a doubt, the National Revolutionary Army is a formidable opponent. They are well-organized and have a lot of talent. A considerable number of them have ideals, beliefs, and abilities."

"But the Nationalist government, under the leadership of the battalion commander, couldn't even meet the minimum standard. It was strong militarily but weak in civil administration, and rampant with corruption, making it a crippled opponent."

Su Yu felt that Zhou Zeyuan's words made a lot of sense, but he couldn't accept it emotionally: "You're belittling us too much. Over the years of fighting each other, we've suffered quite a few losses."

Zhou Zeyuan sneered, "Then let's make a hypothetical scenario: what if Li Bai had been in charge of these encirclements instead of the battalion commander?

Now it was Su Yu's turn to be shocked.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were both military leaders whose abilities were second to none in their time.

Although the senior commanders of the Red Army were not necessarily afraid of them, the military strength of the Nationalist government was indeed far superior to that of the Red Army.

If they're already struggling so much against a tactically inflexible battalion commander, they're really in for a world of trouble if they're up against a more militarily capable opponent.

Now Su Yu understood what it meant to hate someone's virtue but cherish their talent. It turned out that Ze Yuan thought the battalion commander's military ability was too poor, and such a weak opponent was too rare.

"Zeyuan, these hypotheticals are meaningless. Let's change the subject. If the captain were to send someone over to negotiate again, what kind of conditions would he offer?"

Zhou Zeyuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Aside from a hostage exchange, the most likely scenario is signing a ceasefire agreement, which could be short-term or long-term, to quell public anger. But as soon as they feel the time is right, they will definitely tear up the agreement."

"Yes, that's what I think too. In the end, the overall strength of the National Revolutionary Army is still stronger than ours. They won't give up until we defeat them. We still need to make more preparations to deal with Liu Zhi, this formidable enemy."

"Yeah, that's right. It's definitely good to be more prepared." Zhou Zeyuan's face twitched involuntarily. The title of the head of the Five Tiger Generals was indeed impressive.

At least before the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan, Liu Zhi maintained an undefeated record on the surface.

He repeatedly performed outstanding feats in the Northern Expedition, the Jiang-Gui War, the Central Plains War, and one major battle after another. He was incredibly lucky and was called a lucky general by the battalion commander.

Even in the battles against the Red Army, his good fortune continued as always.

In the battles against the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, he also maintained the upper hand and eventually forced the Fourth Front Army to withdraw from Hubei, Henan and Anhui and go to the Sichuan-Shaanxi area to open up a new base area.

But as for the significance of this battle...

Zhou Zeyuan could only sigh again: Liu Zhi's luck is just too good.

The opponents he encounters are either right in his comfort zone, or they are incredibly skilled in the early game but make all sorts of mistakes in the late game, so he doesn't need to show any amazing skills to win easily.

This is entirely due to the benefits of the version update.

But sorry, times have changed.

Just then, the guard Xiao Zhong lifted the curtain and walked in, standing at attention to report: "Commander-in-Chief, Chairman Fang is here."

Zhou Zeyuan and Su Yu quickly got up and went to the door to greet them.

Just as they reached the door, they ran into Fang Zhimin and Xun Huaizhou walking towards the command post, chatting and laughing.

Zhou Zeyuan felt a sudden urge to laugh when he saw this scene.

Because Fang Zhimin was tall and big, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was a typical handsome middle-aged man.

This made Xun Huaizhou, who was walking beside him, appear even thinner and smaller.

But Xun Huaizhou didn't take it to heart at all, and took the initiative to introduce them: "Comrade Zhimin, this is Comrade Su Yu, my good partner, whose military talent is in no way inferior to mine."

"This is Comrade Zeyuan. You should have already heard of his name, so I don't need to introduce him further."

Fang Zhimin extended his hand and shook hands with Su Yu first.

Then he turned to Zhou Zeyuan, looked him up and down, and said with a smile:

"That was indeed a name that resonated deeply. Earlier, our comrades from Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi called Comrade Zeyuan 'The Handsome Zhou Lang of the Red Army,' but now, how can any of those sound as pleasant as 'Yao Guangxiao of Central Fujian'?"

At that moment, all three of them burst into laughter.
