"I am the captain of the ocean-going cargo ship Xia 3008. We set out from Penglai Island to the Harbor City. We are now under attack. It is not a pirate, but an octopus. It is a very big octopus. We can't calculate how long its tentacles are. It lies on the side of our ship. Three sailors have been dragged away..."

In the Endless Sea, the captain of Xia 3008 is trying to ask for help from the Huaxia Maritime Safety Administration in a calm tone. In the video call, the staff of the Maritime Safety Administration can even see the waving octopus tentacles on the deck, one of which is more than ten meters long.

The staff of the Maritime Safety Administration has been calling his leader frantically. When his leader arrives, he is also shocked. The Maritime Safety Administration has no armed forces and can only ask the navy for help urgently.

"Leader, another call for help has come in..."

The captain of Xia 3008 has just been appeased. Before the leader can take a breath, another call for help has come in. Fortunately, after hearing the content of the request for help, it was because of the problem of running aground on the reef, which made him relieved. This conventional rescue force can solve it.

"How many times has the monster attacked a merchant ship this month?"

"Leader, this is the third time in our bureau this month, and the eighteenth time in China this month. Worldwide, there have been more than fifty reports, and ten of them have resulted in serious casualties. Now the seafarers' wages have tripled, but we still can't recruit seafarers. It's too dangerous."

"Yes, it's too dangerous. Fortunately, I've already landed."

The leader nodded. Fortunately, he had used his connections five years ago and stopped sailing. Otherwise, he would be the one who is worried now. Although the salary for sailing is high, he can't enjoy it. This world is too chaotic.

The leader has no other options now, and can only hope that the national level can take action.

Haigang City

Lin Jiang comforted his secretary with a headache, and asked someone to send a lot of luxury goods to coax them. It was not easy to coax them.

Soon after, Cao Ying walked in with a smug look on her face. Lin Jiang said helplessly, "Xiaoying, you are already thousands of years old. Don't act like a child. What's the point of embarrassing a few mortals?" "

Who told them to be blind?"

Cao Ying said. Those female secretaries were really blind. Didn't they see that Wu Jiang and the others treated her as a lady? How dare these women compete for favor? If she didn't punish them, who else would she punish? This was already a good temper, okay? She didn't even use a knife.

"They just did their job honestly. How did they offend you again?"

"Huh, isn't it enough to climb into your bed at night?"

Cao Ying said. Lin Jiang's face turned black. Did he think he liked it very much? Damn it, this was all for work, okay.

"Hmph, you have nothing to say, replace all of them with male secretaries in the future."

"No, unless they are eunuchs, otherwise men's desires are too strong."

Lin Jiang refused flatly. The secretaries around him were too powerful. Basically, they could influence tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of business without Lin Jiang's nod. This would give birth to their ambitions and desires. It's not like Lin Jiang has never used male secretaries before. He learned his lesson after suffering a loss and replaced them with female secretaries, and he wanted to cut off their thoughts of getting married.

"Heh, men,"

Cao Ying said contemptuously, all of which were excuses, and she thought she didn't know.

"Don't talk about these things. There are big shots coming today, don't make trouble."

"What big shot?"

"The Prime Minister of the Chinese Federation,"

Lin Jiang said lightly, he also knew why he came.

Now the strength of monsters is getting stronger and stronger, especially the monsters in the sea. They are huge in size, and now they are transformed into monsters, they become very terrifying. Smaller ships are directly overturned, and large ships are also frequently harassed.

China's navy has already launched attacks everywhere, but it is too busy. The number of monsters it destroys cannot keep up with the speed at which they are produced. If this continues, maritime trade will be cut off sooner or later. Once trade with other continents is cut off, it will have a profound impact on the entire China. At least hundreds of millions of people will be unemployed, which will be a disaster for China.

Moreover, it is not only the monsters in the sea, but also the monsters on land and in the sky are becoming more and more powerful. Especially in the sky, there have been flying monsters colliding with airplanes, and the tragedy of planes being destroyed and people being killed. Now the whole world is in panic, and the organizational structure of mankind has not yet adapted to the current changes.

The Prime Minister of China was promoted by Lin Jiang. After Yuan Xiao, it was basically Lin Jiang who had the final say, because other consortiums in the Chinese Federation were also dealt with by Lin Jiang. The current Prime Minister was unable to solve the current predicament and could only ask Lin Jiang for help.

In the afternoon, the convoy of the current Prime Minister of China drove into Lin Jiang's villa manor. Lin Jiang also gave them enough face and warmly entertained them.

One of the reasons why these people are still obedient is that Lin Jiang does not take care of things. Except for Lin Jiang's own heavy investment in some fields that require their cooperation, Lin Jiang almost never intervenes in normal things, including their own money-making, extravagance, etc. In terms of face, they are still big figures above thousands of people.

"Sir, I know you don't like nonsense, so I'll get straight to the point. China is facing a huge challenge now. There are more and more monsters. In just this month, China has seen tens of thousands of monsters injuring people, with thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries.

Military and police from all over the country are running around, and although they can still control the situation for the time being, experts have told me that the strength of these monsters is constantly increasing. Monsters that ordinary firearms cannot deal with have appeared in many places. I hope you can help me and China."

"I know the current situation, and there is only one way to help."

"Please teach me, sir."

"Develop immortal cultivators on a large scale. Immortal cultivators are powerful and highly mobile, which is enough to solve this problem at the moment,"

Lin Jiang said. Needless to say, the individual strength of immortal cultivators depends entirely on a sword to fight, and no additional weapons or ammunition are needed. They are also highly mobile and can take off from the spot, which is stronger than drones, not to mention fighter jets.

"Immortal cultivators,"

the Prime Minister muttered the word. He was a mature politician, and naturally knew what problems would arise after this group developed on a large scale.

That is, a new class has emerged. When a new class emerges, it must replace some existing classes. It can't be the bottom class, it must be the top class. This will also cause a lot of problems.

As a high-level person, he naturally doesn't want his interests to be damaged. This is almost instinctive.

"Sir, can the emergence of immortal cultivators guarantee the stability of China? This is something that benefits everyone."

"No, the emergence of immortal cultivators is more likely to cause class mobility than the imperial examinations and popular education in history,"

Lin Jiang answered directly. His words were very clear. To maintain stability, it is necessary to keep the ruling class unchanged, that is, to develop immortal cultivators from the middle and high levels.

But Lin Jiang disagreed, because the most important thing for immortal cultivators is spiritual roots. The gap between geniuses and ordinary people is too big. The base of the middle and high classes is too small, and it is not necessarily possible to produce peerless geniuses. If the number of immortal cultivators is to be expanded, it must be expanded to all citizens. Only with a base of billions of people can a steady stream of immortal cultivators appear.

"Sir, this makes it difficult for me to make a decision,"

said the Prime Minister. If it was a slow change, he could still accept it, but now it is probably not possible.

"I know. You have time to consider it. Talk to me when you've made up your mind. For now, I'll lend you my men to deal with the current situation."

Lin Jiang nodded. He had a group of cultivators under his command. Although their cultivation was not high, they could still deal with the current situation with the help of technological weapons. After all, the monsters were not strong either.
