Bai Feiming smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect our population to grow so rapidly."
Zhao Tian nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the most crucial thing is the large number of survivors found in the Luoling Mountains. According to the news from the Second Brigade, if all the survivors from the Luoling Mountains are absorbed into our Fuxing City, the total population of our Fuxing City will exceed 250,000, and may even exceed 300,000."
Upon hearing Zhao Tian's words, all the other department heads in the conference room showed delight.
The larger the population of the base, the greater and more powerful Jiang Wu's influence.
We are also getting closer to the revival of humanity.
And the higher the rank of these high-ranking members of the base, the higher their status.
Even someone like Chen Shu, who doesn't care about these things, couldn't help but feel genuinely proud.
Bai Feiming smiled and said, "Population is always the primary productive force. I also have some good news to tell you all. When I went to Glory City this time, I found that there are now more than 300,000 survivors there. In other words, Brother Wu has more than 500,000 survivors under his command. In addition, they have also formed the Glory Army, which is not much worse than the Restoration Army."
Everyone was stunned after hearing Bai Feiming's words.
I thought Fuxing City had developed fast enough.
As a result, the leader possessed such a large force in another place.
300,000 people!
The Glorious Army is not much worse than the Restoration Army!
Bai Feiming continued, "The next step for the Glorious Army is to recapture Copper City, a city rich in minerals and with well-developed basic industrial facilities. Once Copper City is recaptured and put into production smoothly, we will have a continuous supply of raw materials."
"However, the production lines for weapons and ammunition that our Fuxing City currently possesses are far from sufficient. In the next step, in addition to searching for survivors, we must also make the establishment of more production lines our top priority."
The Minister of Transport said cautiously, "Mrs. Bai, I know Tongcheng. It's more than 600 kilometers away from here. Even if they produce the raw materials, how to transport them here is a big problem. After all, it's nearly 700 kilometers away, and things are not peaceful everywhere right now."
Bai Feiming said calmly, "This is another important topic of this meeting: the Underground Highway Tunnel Project. We will utilize six mutated pangolins..."
As they listened to Bai Feiming's words, the eyes of the executives grew brighter and brighter.
They understood that once this plan was completed, the future surface might be infested with zombies, evolved beasts, or even mutated insects and plants.
But underground, it belongs to them!
They no longer have to worry about being besieged by a sea of zombies.
Those subordinates don't need to worry about being assigned to other cities and completely losing contact with the main city.
This has a very good effect on boosting morale and confidence!
After explaining the plan, Bai Feiming looked at Sun Pangzi, the head of the logistics department and the head of the materials department, and said with a serious face, "Minister Sun, you are in charge of this plan and you are responsible for coordinating the allocation of manpower and resources. I will also have Qingxuan and Yan Yan cooperate in the operation. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me."
Fatty Sun jumped up and shouted, "Don't worry, Madam Bai, I will definitely complete this plan perfectly!"
Just then, a female assistant walked in with a large document and placed it in front of Bai Feiming.
Bai Feiming glanced at the cover and said to the female assistant, "Let Minister Sheng come in. Although he belongs to the Fuxing Army, he is, after all, the Minister of Intelligence. He should also come and listen to the Logistics Department's meeting."
Soon, Sheng Huaiqiang walked in, gave Bai Feiming a respectful military salute, and then sat down in an empty seat.
The meeting ended two hours later.
After the heads of various departments of the General Logistics Department left one after another, Bai Feiming picked up the large document of statements, flipped through it, and said in a cold tone, "Director Wu, you stay too."
Wu Lao Er was about to leave when he heard this and paused for a moment.
The next second, he quickly sat back down in his chair and said with an awkward smile, "Madam Bai, you can just call me Wu Lao Er."
Bai Feiming looked up at Wu Lao Er and said with a smile, "Gan Wei is my sister. Speaking of which, I should call you Uncle Wu."
Wu Lao Er was startled and hurriedly waved his hands, saying in a panic, "No, no, you can just call me Wu Lao Er."
Bai Feiming didn't make things difficult for Wu Lao Er anymore. Instead, she gestured for Sheng Huaiqiang to close the meeting room door and then said calmly, "I've heard that some people are starting to gossip, saying that people like Minister Zhao Tian are not suitable for holding ministerial positions. Are they going to say that the leader is practicing nepotism next?"
Upon hearing Bai Feiming's words, Sheng Huaiqiang's eyes flashed with anger.
Wu Lao Er trembled with fear, beads of sweat instantly forming on his forehead, his voice trembling involuntarily: "Madam Bai, I absolutely did not say such things. Everyone has witnessed how hard Minister Zhao and the others have worked to revitalize Chengcheng! How could I possibly say such utterly despicable things that only a heartless person would utter!"
Bai Feiming's lips twitched, and she said in a cold voice, "I'm not doubting you. I'm keeping you here so you can thoroughly investigate this matter and find out who all those gossips are! Some people, after eating their fill for a while, become quite arrogant."
When Wu Lao Er heard that Bai Feiming wasn't referring to himself, his heart, which had been pounding in his throat, immediately calmed down.
He took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Yes, Madam Bai! I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and not let those who like to gossip about it get away with it!"
Sheng Huaiqiang clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Madam Bai, our intelligence department can also join the investigation to find out who is behind this, spreading rumors, slandering the leader's decisions, and disrupting the stability of Fuxing City. I will not let them off lightly!"
Bai Feiming shook her head and said calmly, "Your intelligence department has more important matters to attend to. Based on these testimonies and existing information, investigate the situation of the Chosen Ones as soon as possible."
Sheng Huaiqiang nodded quickly.
Bai Feiming pulled out a few pages from the thick stack of confessions and sneered, "Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, various frigates, a naval force of tens of thousands of people, and multiple military bases—how impressive they seem! If it weren't for the appearance of suspected level four or even level five mutated beasts in the sea, this world might really have been at the mercy of this Chosen One cult."
Sheng Huaiqiang cautiously said, "Madam Bai, should we send some elite troops to infiltrate their base?"
Bai Feiming shook her head and said, "It's too far, and the testimonies say that they are very xenophobic. Even if we send people over, it won't be of much use. The most important thing now is to bring the known survivors into our Fuxing City, especially cities like Sanshi City and the Survivors Alliance they mentioned."
Lightly tapping the table, Bai Feiming said in a cool tone, "Didn't those two Apocalypse Knights say that the Survivors' Alliance has more than 100,000 people? First, send out elites to find out about the Survivors' Alliance. Once the survivors in Luoling Mountain Range have been accepted, I will have the Second Brigade contact the Survivors' Alliance."
"yes!"
