Chapter 805 Chapter 807 Calculation
In the military conference hall of Jincheng Security Zone, an important meeting concerning people's livelihood is being held.
"The food shortage problem has become the key issue restricting the population reproduction plan. The supplies stored before the end of the world have long been consumed, and it is difficult to find ordinary wild beasts that are easy to hunt. There are also few resources left in the area near the safe zone. Plantations No. 11 and No. 13 that supply civilian needs have experienced plant mutations. In addition, there are frequent changes in the major secret realms, and the major legions and mercenary groups have no time to take care of other things. Therefore, the population reproduction plan can only be shelved temporarily." said the Minister of Civil Affairs.
"I don't agree! The meal replacement products jointly developed by the Institute of Different Sciences and the Institute of Life Sciences have entered the data collection stage and will soon be put into use. The population reproduction plan must continue to be implemented. Otherwise, with the current fertility rate, within twenty years, our race will self-destruct without foreign invasion!" The Minister of Social Sciences was emotional.
“All 36 kinds of meal replacement products are extracted from mutated plants. After pregnant women consume them, 30% of their newborns are deformed, and it is hard to say whether the other 70% can grow up safely. If meal replacement products are used to ensure population reproduction plans, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.” The dean of the School of Life Sciences said solemnly.
"Pregnant women are a special group after all. Didn't other people who participated in the experiment show no abnormalities?" the Minister of Social Sciences retorted.
"It's only a matter of time before problems arise. Besides, the population reproduction plan is a long-term strategy for the nation. Such defective and unsafe meal replacement products must not be allowed to enter the market." The dean of the School of Life Sciences said in a firm tone.
There was silence in the conference room.
"Everyone, do you have any other ideas about the issue of population development?" President Jingyuan, who was sitting at the head of the group, tapped the table with his fingers.
"President, speaking of this issue, shouldn't the territories garrisoned by the major non-staff free groups be adjusted? Especially areas like the Guzhu Secret Land and the Changhu Salt Field that are completely under the jurisdiction of the free groups. If these secret places with rich production are taken back, maybe a few new plantations can be opened up. With plantations, won't there be food?!" said Commander Cheng Ying of the Second Corps.
Most of the existing plantations are built based on secret realms. Most of the secret realms are located in large closed valleys with only one exit. As long as the monsters in the secret realms are cleared out, they can be developed into plantations. The secret realms are full of spiritual energy, and most of the crops grown are rich in spiritual energy and will not mutate.
"Yes, President, we originally agreed to a three-year rotation of defense. Three years ago, we accepted the opinions of the major free groups and guarded different places respectively. Now it's time for a rotation of defense again. This time, we should take back what should be taken back and adjust what should be adjusted!" Shangguan Bo echoed.
This issue is also one that has been mentioned repeatedly by the ministers. In fact, the territories where the major non-staff free groups are stationed are originally difficult to develop and relatively dangerous places. Every year, 70% of the incidents of secret places being lost and strange beasts becoming infestations occur from these free group garrisons.
Cheng Ying and his companions requested for a rotation of guard several times because the Guzhu Secret Land is the area with the least death toll and relatively abundant production among all the secret lands. Moreover, two years ago, a puppet palace appeared in the Guzhu Secret Land. Since then, the Flame Mercenary Corps and the Tianhe Mercenary Corps under Rong Xianxian have made rapid progress in strength and their overall combat level has greatly improved. Cheng Ying and his companions have requested to take back the Guzhu Secret Land more than a year ago, but President Jingyuan suppressed them again and again. Today, the matter was brought up again, and judging from the atmosphere, most of the commanders of the major legions and department heads present agreed.
"Minister Shangguan, last year, sixteen level six monsters were hunted in the Guzhu Secret Land. This year, as of three days ago, the number of level six monsters hunted in the Guzhu Secret Land has reached twenty. If the Tianhe Mercenary Group is allowed to withdraw, how many troops do you think should be stationed there to ensure the safety of the secret land?" asked Minister Yan Cheng of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
“This…” Shangguan Bo became the minister because of his status before the end of the world and the family behind him. He himself had never been to the battlefield, so how could he answer this question?
"President, in order to ensure safety, the change of guard cannot be rushed. I can let the 43rd Regiment enter the Guzhu Secret Land first. The people from the Tianhe Mercenary Group will assist the 43rd Regiment in finding out the situation in the Guzhu Secret Land. It will not be too late to withdraw then. This is the safe strategy." Cheng Ying said openly.
"Brother Cheng, what you said is ridiculous. It's been five or six years since the Tianhe Mercenary Group leveled the Guzhu secret land. Now you jump out to pick the fruits. Not only is your eating manner ugly, but now you want to hold them back and ask them to be your bodyguards. You are really calculating!" Zhu Tianliang from the Fourth Legion mocked.
"Brother Zhu, I am considering this from the perspective of national interests. Based on experience, the barrier within the Guzhu secret land is almost disappearing. By then, as long as all the strange beasts inside are cleared out, it will become another North Sea secret land. How can such a precious land be guarded by an extra-staff army? Right, President!" Cheng Ying looked at President Jingyuan who was sitting in the first seat.
Everyone present knew that Rong Xianxian was from the same faction as President Jingyuan. However, Rong Xianxian's subordinates were reorganized into the army. It could be said that they were all her private soldiers who only obeyed Rong Xianxian's orders. Therefore, her people could not be considered regular troops. In this case, even if President Jingyuan was powerful, he could not say anything.
"In another month, it will be the triennial rotation meeting. This time, many secret realms should be moved. The Guzhu secret land can be taken back, but who can move in depends on everyone's luck. It will be decided by drawing lots. Also, the non-staff independent regiment can only be dispatched by the direct general. This is a regulation recognized by the military. If anyone wants to interfere with the internal affairs of the independent regiment, the consequences will be at their own risk." President Jingyuan rubbed his brows and said to Cheng Ying.
After hearing this, everyone in the conference room had different reactions. Shangguan Bo looked happy, Zhu Tianliang was a little surprised, and Yan Cheng was hesitant to speak.
The Guzhu secret place has been targeted for a long time. For this reason, President Jingyuan specially consulted with Chang Qing, the person in charge designated by Rong Xianxian, to discuss the issue of rotation of guards.
"If there is nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting!" President Jingyuan stood up and left the meeting room first.
