Chapter 783: Helifang wins
After the liaison officer returned, he immediately told the people in the consortium what Prabhakar had said.
What Prabhakar meant was actually very clear. He had no intention of getting involved in this dispute that had nothing to do with him. He was just complying with the request of the coalition and was willing to make a protective gesture.
As a fighter of the Linax Federation, it is understandable that he made such a choice, and this is the most he can do.
This only gave the joint delegation some psychological comfort, so after discussion, they decided to adopt Prabhakar's suggestion and use some of the things that the fighters needed to try to calm the people down first.
Because this matter was caused by the Municipal Council, it must of course be borne by the Municipal Council. They need to put pressure on the Municipal Council and urge it to do this as soon as possible.
After receiving the "suggestions" from the consortium, the municipal council attached great importance to it.
Although the "Guardian Spider" had entered combat standby mode at this time and there was no movement from Chen Chuan's side for the time being, they were still filled with anxiety.
It is difficult to guess what a fighter is thinking, especially when he has not signed any binding agreement and still holds absolute force. It is hard to say when he will stop restraining himself because of a change of mind.
It wasn't impossible, so they decided to take care of the matter as quickly as possible.
What they are most worried about is actually the Government Affairs Office. They are very afraid that Chen Chuan will take violent actions against the entire parliament under the instigation of the Government Affairs Office. This possibility seems small at the moment, but at this time of extreme lack of security, any possibility will be infinitely magnified in their minds.
After some debate, the parliament finally came up with a plan as quickly as possible and prepared to find a client with connections to the government department to negotiate.
But at this time, they suddenly heard that the fighters sent by the Jingxiu Sect were already on their way to the central city and would arrive soon. This news immediately made them ecstatic, so they decided to postpone the negotiation temporarily and go after the people arrived. Maybe then they would not have to make too many concessions.
In the office of the Chief Administrative Officer in the Jibei Provincial Administration Building, Chief Administrative Officer Qi Weizhao was processing and approving various paper documents. At this time, his secretary Qiao Yang approached and said without looking up, "What's going on?"
Qiao Yang said, "Minister, the Linax Federation, citing concerns about the safety of the diplomatic team, has docked the fighter-carrying airship near the White Bird District. Although it hasn't advanced further or entered our cordon, it's still a fighter after all, and its forward movement itself demonstrates a certain attitude.
We have also detected that the Council's active consciousness, the 'Guardian Spider', has been awakened and entered its active phase, ready to enter combat at any time.
According to information from some secret departments, the Fusion and Refinement factions are frequently communicating via telegram, and it is not ruled out that they may use this as an excuse to dispatch fighters to the Central City."
He took half a step forward, his voice a little hurried.
"Chief, if this situation continues unchecked, it will likely lead to increasing tensions in Central City. Should we try to ease the situation, or perhaps... transfer Principal Yao back from the Interchange?"
Qi Weizhao remained silent, his pen still moving. After a moment, he asked, "What did the Municipal Council say?"
Qiao Yang said, "When we communicated with them earlier, they said they were willing to offer satisfactory compensation and that they were willing to make concessions on some conditions. But half an hour ago, they said they wanted to postpone the negotiations. I suspect they may have received some new external commitments or leverage."
Qi Weizhao wrote the last stroke, closed the pen cap, leaned back in his chair, and thought quietly.
Qiao Yang stood aside and waited, without disturbing his thoughts.
After a while, Qi Weizhao said, "If you have any opinions, please tell me."
Qiao Yang looked up and said, "Chief, I think we should exercise some restraint. These companies are like the blood vessels of this city. Without them, it would be impossible to maintain such a large central city, and many people would be affected.
Even without considering other external factors, the council still has an active consciousness. If a conflict breaks out, the damage to Central City will be enormous."
Qi Weizhao shook his head and said, "That's not right."
Qiao Yang was stunned for a moment, "Chief?"
Qi Weizhao pointed at him with the pen in his hand and said, "You are looking at the problem from the perspective of the Government Affairs Office. It was not wrong before, but the situation is different now.
Qiao Yang, have you ever thought about why a fighter should act according to our thinking? What exactly is Director Chen thinking? Have you ever tried to understand? Don't take it for granted.
You don't understand that the interests of Central City and the interests of the fighters are sometimes not necessarily the same. We can be considered partners and need each other, but it is not that Central City is in a higher position. In fact, most of the time, in today's environment, we are the ones who need them more.
In the foreseeable future, when a major collision occurs, the role that martial artists can play cannot be underestimated. How to achieve a high degree of alignment of interests between the two is what we need to consider and resolve next."
Qiao Yang understood now. In his impression, Chen Chuan was still the investigative director of the processing bureau, but he had not changed his mind. Once he became a fighter, he actually jumped out of the original system, at least he was no longer constrained by the local system, and they could not do whatever they wanted.
He immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Chief, I thought the matter was too simple."
Qi Weizhao said: "Things that were not considered in the past can be considered now. There is still time.
I've read the report from the Ministry of Defense. Once we integrate the territories left behind by the old imperial family in the Interfusion Area, we'll be able to support the supply of two or even three fighters.
The competition in the world is ultimately a competition of resources, manpower and material strength. With this area of integration, even if we do nothing now, we can still crush the opponent with our hard power. This is the key to breaking the deadlock.
As for Manager Chen, we should now demonstrate our sincerity and present the conditions we can offer. As for his decision, there's no need to make it for him."
Qiao Yang said sincerely: "Yes, Chief, you are right."
Qi Weizhao said, "Let's arrange it. I need to meet with Manager Chen first. Wait a moment..." He stopped Qiao Yang who was about to make a move. "Under the current circumstances, it's not appropriate for me to meet him, and it's not appropriate for him to meet me. So, let's chat using the field screen first."
Qiao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, Chief, I'll arrange it right away."
Chen Chuan was in the office at the time, watching the reports submitted by various regions through the field screen.
All those people involved with Han Fu and even external parties have now been arrested and are being escorted to the headquarters one after another.
At this time, an internal signal came on the screen. After seeing it, he clicked on the lower level pass, indicating that Minister of Government Affairs Qi Weizhao wanted to talk to him.
His eyes moved slightly, and he answered the call. Then a middle-aged man in his fifties appeared on the screen. He had slightly gray hair, a thin face and a thin body, big and bright eyes, and tightly pursed lips. He looked mature and majestic.
"Director Chen, I'm Qi Weizhao, the Chief of Administration. This is our first meeting, but I've heard and seen a lot about you. Originally, I should have come in person this time, but under the current circumstances, a meeting between us would probably keep many people awake, so we'll have to make do with this format for now."
Chen Chuan said, "Chief Qi, you're too polite."
Qi Weizhao said, "Director Chen, I'm aware of their attacks and slander against you. As the Chief Administrative Officer, I'm deeply concerned about the safety of Central City, but I also respect Director Chen's personal wishes and interests. I'd like to ask Director Chen, how far do you plan to proceed on this matter?"
Chen Chuan didn't hide his thoughts. He said, "Anyone directly involved in this incident needs to be dealt with accordingly. Furthermore, the Gray Shell Agency has been involved in the Bureau's rebellion. Such fringe organizations must no longer exist. Everyone registered with them must be arrested or eliminated."
Qi Weizhao said solemnly, "The direct participants in this incident, as well as the manager of the Crisis Affairs Center and the two council members involved behind the scenes, will all receive due punishment. As for the Gray Shell Firm, I also promise that no matter their background, I will not tolerate them."
Manager Chen, do you have any other requests besides this?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "My responsibility is just to handle the affairs of the bureau. As long as it doesn't interfere with me, I have no interest in getting involved."
Qi Weizhao looked at him for a moment, nodded slightly, and his expression relaxed a little. Then he said, "Director Chen, do you have any personal needs? As the Chief Administrative Officer, I think I still have some authority."
Seeing that Chen Chuan seemed to be considering it, he said, "How about this, I'll have my secretary Qiao Yang contact you later. He can represent me with full authority."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you."
Qi Weizhao then said, "Manager Chen, be careful of the Refined Cultivation Sect and the Fusion Sect."
Chen Chuan looked at him and nodded.
Qi Weizhao also nodded to him and disappeared from the screen.
Chen Chuan sat in his seat and thought for a while, then continued to deal with the things in his hands. After everything was done, he looked at the time and it was already evening.
After pouring a cup of hot drink, he carefully felt the changes in his body. At this moment, the energy obtained after breaking through the limit was still pouring out continuously, and his body was still being continuously promoted and transformed.
This is what every fighter will experience after breaking through the limit. The length of time for transformation will vary from person to person. He learned from Principal Yao that for an average fighter, it may only last two to three days.
He didn't know how long this would last, but he knew the importance of maintaining energy for himself, and judging from the current situation, although the possibility was not particularly high, he still needed to be prepared to fight opponents of the same level, so he had to try to absorb more energy during this period, and he couldn't stop his practice.
