Chapter 948: Disturbance Gathering
After handling some matters at the Defense Department, Chen Chuan returned to the Jinfengyuan Villa District to continue his practice today.
Not long after I came back, a package was delivered.
This was the compensation that Skarsson had promised him.
After he signed for it, he opened it and checked it. Inside were some very special ingredients, as well as several medicines used in conjunction with spiritual practice.
These drugs are all produced by large foreign pharmaceutical companies, and the most common one is Aurora Pharmaceuticals in Huansuo Island.
There was also a note in the note compartment of the box, with a series of cursive Bei Dao characters written on it. It was hard to believe that this rigid and serious person could write such beautifully.
He asked the mother to help translate it. As expected, it was some advice to him, but the wording was very tactful and only one sentence, so it didn't offend people at all.
However, as he continued to read, his gaze paused slightly, then he rummaged through the box, took out something, thought for a moment, and put it in his pocket.
Then he put the note away, closed the box, put it on the shelf, and walked out of the storage room.
When he got outside, he turned on the on-site screen. As expected, the main reports on various channels were about the international investigation team.
However, it is impossible for the public to be involved in things like a major bombing, so what the public knows is that the Jibei Provincial Government Office overthrew the municipal council, searched the international representative residence in Shiratori District, and serious violent conflicts occurred, so the International Affairs Organization responded.
Fortunately, now only the local media in Jibei Province under the control of the Government Affairs Office can make their voices heard. In the past, the news channels of the Municipal Council could only forward reports or make irrelevant reports.
Because these media outlets have international investments, if they were not worried about the investigation team using this as an excuse, they would have ceased to exist long ago.
After watching this, Chen Chuan also watched some other Central City media commentary programs. These were all recorded, and the news was at least three or four days old. The situation must have changed now.
These people were much more aggressive and vehement in their language, almost all siding with the opposition to the Jibei Provincial Government Office. After all, the other central cities all had their own municipal councils, and they all hoped the investigation team would "restore order" and "allow the people of Jibei Province to have their voices heard."
He watched for a while and saw that what these people said was nothing new compared to last month, so he turned it off directly, drank the hot drink on the table, and went back to the meditation room to practice.
Three days after the arrival of the investigation team, observers, media personnel and some dissidents from various countries finally arrived here.
Observers are basically responsible for collecting intelligence, especially since the Skyline Project that Jibei Province is preparing to promote is no secret.
The reactions of various countries are still relatively cautious because they are not sure how far such a move will lead Dashun and how much impact it will have on the world.
Some believed that this move would bring great unrest to the world and that this trend should not be encouraged but should be suppressed. Others were more optimistic, believing that Jibei Province had taken the most practical step and would help unify the forces resisting a major bombing.
But no matter what, without sufficiently detailed information, it is impossible to draw an accurate conclusion. That is just self-speculation, so they need all the information they can bring back. Of course, sometimes they can also flexibly wear their clothes inside out and act as intelligence dealers.
There are also lobbyists sent by some large companies and a few countries. These people used to deal most with the municipal council, but now they have most contact with the members of the investigation team, hoping to get arguments that are beneficial to the relevant stakeholders.
On the Shiratori side, this is the residence of delegations from various countries after all, so after the operation ended that day, only some necessary supervision was implemented. With the arrival of the international investigation team, the control was further relaxed.
At this time, on top of a certain building, two people stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-rise building, looking at the central city of Jibei Road opposite Feihong Bridge.
Both of them were wearing neat black formal suits, with obvious caricatures on their faces. One of them was short and fat, while the other was tall and thin, but there were some abnormal protrusions under their clothes. It was obvious that their bodies had undergone some kind of implant modification.
The two looked at the light screen projected by the world in front of them, on which were some opinions and comments about the various central cities within Dashun.
The tall, thin man standing on the left said, "The reformists within Dashun have reached a breakthrough point, but they haven't yet established a firm foothold. If they do this, they will surely face a counterattack from the conservatives. Should we wait and see what they're going to do before deciding on the next step?"
The short, fat man on the right said coldly, "Some radical actions can easily trigger unpredictable variables, leading to drastic changes in the world situation. This needs to be curbed."
He looked at the watch on his wrist. The second hand pointing to the scale on the dial was spinning rapidly, but sometimes it stopped and turned several times in the opposite direction.
"There are too many variables in Jibei Road, and the key lies in this person."
As he spoke, a light flashed in his eyes, and the light curtain in front of the boundary immediately changed. It showed the scene of Chen Chuan and two fighters leaving the anchor tower a few days ago, and finally focused on Chen Chuan's face.
Just at this moment, Chen Chuan glanced inadvertently and seemed to have noticed the observer at that time.
He couldn't help but pause before saying, "Chen Chuan, Director of the Jibei Road Defense Department."
The tall and thin man nodded, "This man is indeed worthy of attention. Look at what he has done. He has always been on the front line. If he had not fallen on the way, he would have been the backbone of the Dashun reformists in the next twenty years.
According to his profile, he comes from a humble family. Has anyone with such talent ever emerged from this group of people before?
Something flickered in the short, fat man's eyes. There had indeed been such precedents over the past sixty years, but they were very few in number, and some of them had only a tenuous blood relationship with the old imperial family.
The tall and thin man said, "No matter what kind of person he is, he is still someone who has not been 'accepted'."
The short and fat man said, "Then he may never have that chance. He is a member of the Purists, and very few of them can compromise."
The tall and thin man frowned upon hearing this, seeming to be somewhat apprehensive and disgusted. He said, "The Purists, they're a very difficult group to deal with."
At this time, a message came in from the boundary between the two people.
The tall, thin man said, "Three days ago, Scarson had a sparring match with Director Chen, but Scarson lost. The person sent by the international investigation team doesn't seem reliable."
The short and fat man said, "They can't send a stronger fighter. Dashun won't allow it. If they do, the investigation team will lose its impartiality. Skarsson is already the best candidate, but this doesn't hinder our plan. It might even be better, right?"
The tall, thin man said, "Have you decided to carry out the plan?"
The short and fat man looked out the French window at Central City and said, "Execute it. The deviation in the tone should be corrected promptly, and violent unrest must be avoided."
Ten days later, after nearly half a month of investigation, the international investigation team reached a relatively consistent conclusion that the central city had arrested and tried the former members of the municipal council.
However, the Municipal Council remains in place, and there has been no radical move to completely abolish it, allowing local residents to express their opinions. Currently, public security in the central city is good, with a significant drop in crime rates. This is closely related to the City Hall's efforts to strengthen public security management and implement new governance measures.
But there is still one most important issue, which is the safety hazard in the central city of Jibei Road.
The gap in the World Ring had existed in Jibei Dao for a long time. Based on the investigation team's trust in the Dashun government, the Dashun government was responsible for handling it internally.
Although the breach has now been closed and some of the leaked materials appear to have been eliminated, can the Jibei Provincial Government Office ensure that all issues have been addressed and that similar safety hazards will not occur in the future?
Qi Weizhao immediately made a statement on behalf of the Government Affairs Office. According to the report sent by the World Ring, the leaked information has been eliminated and this can be verified at the World Ring.
They have successfully handled many crossing incidents before, which is enough to prove the security and defense capabilities of Jibei Province. Even if similar situations occur again, they believe they can be dealt with in a timely manner.
After receiving the response, the investigation team said it would hold a public meeting before the end of the month, invite members from various countries, and then announce their final assessment results.
After Qi Weizhao learned about this, he promptly found all the security team members and held a security decision-making meeting to ensure that no problems would arise during this period, and first of all to ensure the safety of these investigation team members, which was the top priority.
After the meeting, Chen Chuan contacted senior managers from the City Patrol, the Processing Bureau, and the Esoteric Cult Processing Bureau. They all held a meeting together and, with the assistance of Ximu and Andun, drew up a more detailed security plan.
After everyone had arranged their tasks, he thought for a moment, clicked on the lower world pass, and checked the whereabouts of the main members of the investigation team.
In name, these people are not under the control of the Central City and can go anywhere in the Central City at will, but in reality, the Central City will not allow them to move around freely, and the people they come into contact with every day will receive corresponding attention.
The whereabouts of ordinary personnel will be left to the processing bureau and city patrol, while the two fighters will be under his responsibility.
At this time, Andun sent a message: "Reporting to Director Chen, half an hour ago, Mr. Skarsson and Mr. Korva received another abnormal report from an unknown source and are now heading to Hongsheng District. This is the third case in the past two weeks."
Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I understand."
