Chapter 1040 Lian Dao Waiting for the Ceremony
Central City, Government Office.
Chen Chuan sat in the large office of the Security Department, the light from the screen opposite him shining on him. At this time, the entire security decision-making team was present.
Before coming, he had submitted a draft report, and the team members had already learned about the situation of the battle and the new problems they would face.
Qi Weizhao said solemnly, "Director Chen, thank you and your colleagues for your hard work and dedication. The Government Affairs Office and the Ministry of Defense will commend them accordingly. I will submit a report to the capital shortly."
Chen Chuan said: "I would like to thank the Chief Minister on behalf of my colleagues who are still carrying out defense work on the front lines."
Qi Weizhao said, "Also, Director Chen only mentioned the 'old evil' in Jiaoshan briefly in his report, so we don't know the specific situation yet."
Chen Chuan said seriously, "This is another thing I want to say. Whenever anything mentions this old sin, try to avoid keeping any written or information files."
All the members of the security team were a little surprised, only Liang Guanghai seemed to have thought of something at this time.
Chen Chuan explained, "The existence of this old sin is closely related to people's thoughts and feelings. The more people value it, the greater the possibility of its resurrection."
He paused. "Even if we're just talking about Him now, it will accelerate His return. Fortunately, the extent of this is minimal. However, if it were on paper or in information, it would have a continuous impact, and be accepted and recognized by more people, which would undoubtedly strengthen His presence."
Yao Zhiyi then said, "I remember that after the advent of the new era, many temples dedicated to demons and evil spirits that were worshipped by the people in the old days were demolished, and the archives of the past records were also destroyed. I think they were afraid that these things would resurface if given the opportunity."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "That's for this purpose. Furthermore, this matter requires the assistance of professionals, so I'd like to ask Director Lei to sit in and offer suggestions."
Qi Weizhao discussed with other team members present, and they all agreed with this, so he sent a message to the Esoteric Cult Inspection Bureau. After waiting for ten minutes, Director Lei's figure also appeared on the field screen.
After Chen Chuan met him, he told him in detail about the subsequent situation he encountered, the whole process, and Lan Shen Gu's judgment.
After hearing this, Qi Weizhao and others all looked extremely serious.
Jiaoshan is not far from Yangzhi City. It is like a scar on the body of Jibei Road. This old sin is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger there.
Qi Weizhao asked, "Director Lei, you are a professional. Do you have any opinions on how this matter should be handled?"
Director Lei thought for a moment and replied, "Advisor Lan's suggestion is generally reasonable. The Esoteric Affairs Bureau will quickly organize and dispatch its most experienced personnel to Jiaoshan to establish a protective ritual outside. However, the people in Jiaoshan must evacuate as soon as possible."
They have lived there for so long that the divinity of the 'Old Sin' may have already been mixed into their bodies, and each of them may have become a vessel for its power. Therefore, before the Old Sin is resolved, everyone must be isolated from the outside world to prevent the further spread of its power.
If it were in the old times, it could be dealt with directly on the spot, which would solve the problem and avoid the need for subsequent processing. However, this cannot be done in the new era.
Qi Weizhao nodded solemnly: "These people must be properly arranged."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "I have a proposal here. It was submitted to us by Zhu Zhengzhang through the newly established Skyline venue before I came here. It's about how to deal with the people in Jiaoshan."
He distributed it to everyone present through the boundary certificate.
Qi Weizhao took a look and found that it had detailed explanations on how to split and resettle these people, how to arrange each area, how to make them self-reliant in the future, and how to appease and supervise them.
And they don't rule out the use of force. Because these people might not be willing to honestly evacuate Jiaoshan, reasoning with them is futile; they simply won't listen. In fact, relocating them from here is the only way to save them.
He nodded. Zhu Xian was indeed an old bureaucrat. He still put a lot of considerations into his work and was good at handling specific matters.
And using Skyline to deliver documents at the first opportunity clearly showed an attitude of actively moving closer to the Government Affairs Office.
After reading it, he looked at Director Lei again and said, "Director Lei, do you have anything to add?"
Director Lei said, "Director Chen's report mentioned that there are people in Central City who have been purchasing 'divine blood' for a long time. These things have entered the Lower City District and various company laboratories in large quantities in the past. It is probably difficult to completely remove them now.
My suggestion is to establish a long-term and effective review mechanism, giving the review bureau the authority to conduct regular inspections of each company's laboratories, investigate and punish relevant laboratories, and track down the main sources of funds."
The Esoteric Buddhism Review Bureau has the power to review, but in the past it was only a fixed-point inspection authorized by the Government Affairs Department. If it is granted long-term review power, the Esoteric Buddhism Review Bureau will have enormous authority.
But it is very necessary at the moment.
After some discussion, the team members approved the granting of this permission.
After we have finished discussing this, we will move on to the next more important topic.
Qi Weizhao said: "Both Longyou and Shannan prefectures have sent us letters of intent to connect to Skyline."
He looked at Chen Chuan, "This time, Director Chen defeated an army of the old imperial family and killed General Zhengdong. Initially, Shannan Dao provided us with assistance. Their feint attack allowed the secret department to detect Su Kuo's whereabouts.
Their second attack further tied down some of the Old Imperial Family's forces, preventing them from sending reinforcements to the Holly Plains. This allowed Director Chen to completely annihilate their upper echelons, proving that the two factions had strengthened their ties and were able to gain a significant advantage against the enemy.
The team members agreed with this. This success was not as simple as annihilating a part of the upper-level forces of the old imperial family. The results were great, but this was only secondary. The most crucial thing was the cooperation between the two sides.
This was almost non-existent in the past, because although there were connections between the various central cities, they were only concerned with protecting their own interests, and there was no mutual assistance or cooperation.
But now it was different. This was a qualified and fruitful military cooperation. This was before the Skyline was established. Once the Skyline was connected, the two sides would definitely benefit more from the cooperation.
If several central cities get involved, then the fulcrums of the old imperial family extending to various roads may collapse, thereby occupying more intersection areas and obtaining more resources.
You have to know that these places have been developed by the old imperial family for a long time. If you repel them, you can take over and use them soon.
I believe that after this incident, this trend will become even more unstoppable.
Qi Weizhao then clicked on the lower realm pass and sent a document to all members of the security decision-making team.
Chen Chuan took a look and found that Shannan Dao had a strong will. Although there were internal disagreements, it was a coincidence that Bai Gu, the representative of the conservative faction, had been defeated by him before. Although the higher-ups intended to send another fighter over, in reality, this matter had not been finalized yet.
He had heard from Mr. Zhuan that the top leaders of the Purity Faction seemed to have used political resources to delay some of the above steps, and Shannan Dao only needed to seize this opportunity and join Skyline. Once on this express train, it would be impossible to withdraw.
As for Longyou Dao, their attitude is the most positive and they are the most likely to join.
Because the forces on the Longyou Road side are almost entirely from the Implanted Faction, one of the five major factions, once such a faction conveys its will, the matter is actually almost settled.
All group members had no objection to the addition of these two central cities, and these two important issues were quickly passed.
After the meeting, Chen Chuan went back to the villa and put the Phoenix Wing Hammer into the collection room. After looking at it for a while, he walked out with satisfaction.
As for the longevity golden lock entrusted to him by Su Kuo, he didn't have to go there himself. He could ask the negotiation team members who were going to Longyou Road to take it with them and handle the matter at the same time.
He had a meal with his aunt's family and did not stay there. After making some preparations, he boarded the airship again and picked up Director Lei and several of his capable subordinates along the way, and headed to Jiaoshan together.
As the director of the security department, he cannot let go until the rift is completely closed and the old sins are blocked.
When he returned to Jiaoshan, with the help of people sent from the central city and the rear, it took him five days to finally transport all the supplies that could be transported from the plains. As for the remaining scattered supplies, they were directly detonated and burned on the spot.
The next step was to evacuate the residents of Jiaoshan. Under the conditions and military deterrence given by the central city of Jibei Road, these residents began to move away from here in entire villages. They would board pre-arranged airships and go to various temporary resettlement sites.
This time, the newly established Huan Dayang Pharmaceutical Company in the two central cities will be responsible for providing physical examinations for these villagers and providing cost-priced drug support.
Chen Chuanji remembered that the Pure Faction branch also had some investment in this pharmaceutical company.
It took more than twenty days, and the outer esoteric rituals had been completed, and most of the people on Jiaoshan were finally evacuated.
There were actually some people who were resisting or hiding in the mountains. They couldn't take care of these people. After all, Jiaoshan was so big, and the caves and tunnels in the mountains were too many and too complicated. In a limited time, they couldn't find all of them.
And they couldn't allow the rift to exist for a long time just because of these few people, not to mention that so many people were stationed here and a lot of resources were consumed every day.
At this time, Lan Shen Gu and Director Lei had already arrived inside the secret treasure and began to carefully dismantle and break the secret instrument here. According to the judgment of the two, with sufficient preparation, it might only take one to two days to complete this process.
Before Chen Chuan arrived at the secret treasure, he only left Zarnik and two others here, while Hu Kan, Xu Chan, Mr. Zhuan and others had already gone back.
He stood outside the secret storage, staring inside, waiting for the result. If anything happened during this period, he could react at any time.
