Dawn 395.

It snowed heavily in Xingcheng, which had not snowed for a long time.

Ji He stood at the gate of the city in a white robe and looked into the distance. The world in his eyes was covered with silver. The snowflakes fell on his shoulders and blended with the white robe. His black hair was also dyed white.

A sense of loneliness rose from the bottom of his heart.

This is the second year since he was promoted to the decision-making level of Xingcheng. He

has too many ideas in his mind that he wants to realize, but he has done nothing.

Now he is weak and weak, and there are obstacles everywhere to promote reform. He needs a group of companions who can implement his ideas.

If there are no companions, then he will cultivate and find them personally.

After the condolences to the soldiers defending the city, Ji He returned to the administrative department of Xingcheng.

It was cold and there was no air conditioning in Ji He's office. The whole room was empty, with only a desk and a computer connected to the Xingcheng database, and even no sofa connected to the guests.

Ji He stood by the window of the office, looking at the world outside the window with heavy snow.

Many ideas intertwined in his mind.

In his heart, becoming a decision-maker in Xingcheng is not his end.

When he was young, he had discussed the current situation of Star City with his teacher in detail, and mentioned many drawbacks in the development of Star City.

One of the major drawbacks is the excessive decentralization of power.

The military, the research institute of Star City authority, and the city management, three forces form the Supreme Council of Star City.

This power model did play a significant role in the development of Star City in the early days.

But today, with the increasingly harsh surrounding environment, the decentralization of power has led to the inefficiency of implementing many plans.

Approval at all levels, and mutual coordination between power agencies.

The plan approved by the Supreme Council of Star City is like passing a level. From the moment it is approved, it needs to go through many levels before it can be truly implemented.

This is just one of the drawbacks of decentralized power.

There are conflicts among the top leaders of Star City, and they often quarrel because of different ideas.

The reason for the quarrel has nothing to do with interests, but with the perspective of looking at the problem.

For example, a few days ago, the decision makers of the military and the Hupo Research Institute had a conflict of ideas on whether to build a new city first or consolidate the defense project of Star City.

Different positions lead to different ideas.

In the early days, Xingcheng did need a lot of different voices, and even Fengqi supported decision makers to actively express their different opinions.

At that time, many advanced ideas were born in arguments.

But this is a different time.

The harsh environment around has intensified, and the challenges faced by the human race have intensified.

Ji He felt that it was meaningless to spend too much time on arguments.

He felt that Xingcheng should change, and the first thing was that the power structure of Xingcheng needed to be reorganized.

But it was so difficult to do this.

No organization was willing to be deprived of power and become a subordinate unit that was unilaterally governed.

His idea was simply impossible to pass the review of the Supreme Council.

Now Ji He's idea is to win over the military, the violent organization that represents the strongest power in Xingcheng.

But even with the support of the military, Ji He still knew that he could not stand at the highest point in Xingcheng.

In front of him, there is an insurmountable mountain.

He is Fengqi's appointed successor and the current highest authority holder in Xingcheng.

In private meetings, everyone used to tease this legendary figure as a city administrator.

Zhang Daowen, who rose from the front line, has the support of a large number of top frontline war groups. Later, he had the background of the military. He once headed the military for a period of time and was the highest commander of the military for a period of time.

Whether in terms of ability or background, he is the pinnacle of power in Star City.

He is like the Dinghaishenzhen of Star City.

Although the highest power holder in Star City has gradually retreated behind the scenes due to the harsh surrounding environment, focusing on cultivation

and gradually handing over power to them.

But when this day will come is unknown.

Maybe it will be a few years later, maybe decades later, or even more than a hundred years later.

He doesn't have the lifespan of this legendary figure and can't wait at all.

But at this stage, it is impossible for him to cross the mountain of Zhang Daowen.

For the first time, Ji He realized the helplessness of his teacher.

He wanted to promote reform, not to overthrow the mountain of faith in Fengqi.

Deep in his heart, he always firmly believed that the human race's belief in Fengqi must exist and must be firm.

Because Fengqi is already the foundation of faith in Star City.

His traces have spread all over the city, like a beating heart, creating a steady stream of power for the city.

The path of faith growth is one of the main paths of human growth.

What he wants to change is the ideological influence that Feng Qi has brought to future generations.

When faith becomes blind, it is like a kind of political correctness, and reason becomes the mistake that is accused.

Standing at the turning point of history, he feels that the development of the human race should be based on interests and efficiency.

Abandoning the ideas of the old era will only be beneficial to the development of the human race.

Ji He feels that the first problem he needs to solve is still how to centralize power.

His ideas are too shocking. Any ideas in his mind that are publicly put forward will only be criticized and targeted. As a result, he will be forced to withdraw like his teacher.

But even if the chance of success is very small.

He still wants to try.

As Feng Qi once said:

"There is always someone who stands up, why is that person not me?"

Standing at the turning point of history, since he has discovered the problem, he stands up and tries to change it, even if the result is doomed to fail.

The military is his first target.

How to win over the military, Ji He thinks that promising benefits is the wrong way.

The structure of the military is destined to be counterproductive if you win over people with interests, and even arouse the military's vigilance.

During this year, Ji He did not do anything radical.

He just proposed the idea of ​​optimizing the structure of the military, and used this as an excuse to go to the military and make friends with the military's senior officials.

He always had the same ideas as the military in the Supreme Council.

He always gave the military the impression that he was a member of the decision-makers of Xingcheng who was very interested in the construction of the military.

Through these opportunities, Ji He quickly locked his target.

His name is Lin Zhengyuan, and he is one of the candidates for the next supreme commander position of the military.

Ji He took the initiative to make friends with him and get along with him as a friend.

What he had to do during the relationship was to gradually instill his own ideas into Lin Zhengyuan.

But to achieve this step, it takes time to settle.

As a senior military official, Lin Zhengyuan's will is firm, and he can't easily influence him.

But Ji He also valued Lin Zhengyuan's steady character. What he had to do was to tell his story well in the next period of time.

This story does not need to be deliberately added with a touch of color, just tell Lin Zhengyuan your thoughts through the story. If he can understand his thoughts and think that his thoughts are correct, then they will be companions.

Facing a person like Lin Zhengyuan, any pretense, or even attempts to deceive with lies, will inevitably result in failure.

Ji He did not think that his idea of ​​reforming Xingcheng was wrong.

What he needed was a rational companion, not a believer who chose to stand by him fanatically after being brainwashed.

Time flies.

Dawn 397.

Military.

The weather was gloomy and it was drizzling.

Ji He sat on the sofa by the window, and with one hand he drew the aura, which turned into a water element spirit chess piece, and fell on the chessboard.

Then he raised his head and cast his eyes on the middle-aged man across the chessboard.

The man had a short haircut, handsome sword eyebrows, and a sharp face. He was burly but not thick. When he was still, he was like a statue, with an imposing manner. He looked only in his thirties, but he was actually forty-eight years old.

"Lin Yuan, it's your turn."

Ji He said, and put down his raised right hand.

The majestic man sitting in front of him was the current commander-in-chief of the military: Lin Zhengyuan.

After all these years of getting along, they have formed a deep friendship.

Ji He even learned to play spirit chess under Lin Zhengyuan's instruction,

and occasionally came here to play chess with Lin Zhengyuan. Although he didn't know any combat skills, Ji He's chess skills had gradually surpassed Lin Zhengyuan in spirit chess.

At this time, Lin Zhengyuan looked at the spirit chessboard floating in front of him, his brows gradually frowned, and after a short silence, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief:

"I lost, I don't want to play anymore, I am becoming less and less your opponent." After

the voice fell, Lin Zhengyuan waved his hand helplessly and slapped the spirit chessboard floating in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Ji He smiled, and then stood up:

"Since this game is over, I'm about to leave."

"If there is nothing important, wait a while, I have something to talk to you about."

"My business is not important. Tell me what you want to talk about?"

After hearing this, Ji He sat down again, looked at Lin Zhengyuan and asked with a smile.

"I am a rough man, but I am not stupid. You have told me the stories of these years, and I know what you are thinking."

Hearing this, Ji He's eyes changed.

He had a vague feeling of what Lin Zhengyuan was going to say next.

Lin Zhengyuan took a deep breath, looked directly into Ji He's eyes and said in a deep voice:

"I won't beat around the bush with you. I have thought about it a lot over the years and have been hesitant. Today I will give you a positive answer. I support your reform of Xingcheng. I also think that Xingcheng should not be imprisoned in the old ideas. It is time to change."

Ji He's expression was indifferent when he heard Lin Zhengyuan's inner thoughts.

In fact, he had already known that Lin Zhengyuan had made a choice in his heart. He had not made a decision for a long time just because he was afraid that doing so would involve too much and cause turmoil in Xingcheng.

Even if he did not choose to open up to him today, Lin Zhengyuan would do so sooner or later.

In these years of contact, Lin Zhengyuan actually always understood his thoughts.

If he did not support his ideas in his heart, he would have driven him away long ago, so why bother to make friends with him.

"Old Ji, tell me now, what are you going to do with Mr. Zhang? He is a staunch follower of Fengqi. If you want to fight against Mr. Zhang, I absolutely disagree. Your behavior will only cause Xingcheng to fall into turmoil."

Facing Lin Zhengyuan's inquiry, Ji He was silent.

As Lin Zhengyuan said, there is an insurmountable mountain ahead of reform, and that is Zhang Daowen.

After a long silence, he shook his head and said:

"How could I possibly think of going against Mr. Zhang? He is the pillar of our Star City. His importance is self-evident. Besides, even if you and I are combined, we don't have the ability to fight against Mr. Zhang. We are far behind Mr. Zhang in terms of power and influence. Do you believe that with just a word from Mr. Zhang, even if you are the commander-in-chief of the military, he can easily remove you from your position and make the military stand on his side again?"

"The only way I can think of is for me to persuade him in person. I believe that Mr. Zhang will understand what I mean... but not now. I won't go to Mr. Zhang until I'm sure." After

hearing this, Lin Zhengyuan did not ask any more questions. After a long silence, he looked directly at Ji He and said in a deep voice:

"Since I have made the decision, I will fully support you from now on, but I must warn you that if the situation develops in an uncontrollable direction and your decision will affect the stability of Star City, I will not hesitate to attack you, or even... kill you."

Ji He stood up with a smile when he heard it, stretched out his hand and patted Lin Zhengyuan on the shoulder:

"Your words are enough."

After speaking, he turned and left the room.

…

Dawn 398.

The Star City Supreme Council is held.

The direction of the discussion was mainly related to the future planning and development of Star City.

The construction of the new city was officially finalized, and the focus of Star City will move to the new city.

At the same time, representatives of Winter City also came to this meeting, and Winter City will also participate in the construction of the new city "Dawn".

The topic of the integration of the two cities was preliminarily discussed in this meeting.

The preliminary plan has now been finalized.

After the construction of Dawn City is completed, the residents of Winter City will move to the northern district of the city, and the northern district will also be named Winter District in the future.

But this is only a preliminary plan, and the specific urban planning allocation is still to be discussed.

The initiator of this plan is Ji He.

The environment around the human race continues to be harsh, the speed of front-line field development has slowed down, and they often encounter difficult and powerful enemies.

Ji He believes that the integration of Winter City and Star City will significantly enhance the comprehensive combat power of the human race.

After the meeting, Ji He returned to the office. After

waking up the screen, he began to look through the relevant information about Winter City.

As a member of the highest decision-makers of Star City, his duty is to guide the direction of Star City's progress. He attaches great importance to such a major matter as the merger of cities.

Want to find out as many contradictions and potential risks as possible during the merger.

The time came to 3 a.m.

Ji He made himself a cup of tea and rubbed his temples for a short rest.

This year, the plan of centralization has not made any progress. Although the military has stood on his side, the military alone is not enough for him to stand at the highest point of Xingcheng and achieve true centralization.

Although Zhang Daowen has retired, his influence on Xingcheng is always there.

Choosing to seize power by force is even more undesirable.

This is a mountain that he cannot cross at this stage, and it is also the biggest obstacle to his promotion of reform.

In fact, Ji He always has a second step plan in his heart.

As long as this plan is exaggerated by public opinion, it will inevitably make Zhang Daowen take the initiative to withdraw from the power layer.

Since being promoted to a member of the decision-making level, Ji He has obtained a lot of secrets that he had never known before, including Zhang Daowen's identity and origin.

With this as a breakthrough, he can weave a big network of public opinion to make Zhang Daowen take the initiative to retreat in frustration.

But he knows that even if this plan succeeds, it will fail.

Zhang Daowen is too important to Xingcheng. He is not only the strongest combat force in Xingcheng, but also a living monument of heroes.

His legend has inspired generations to move forward.

So Ji He never thought about actually implementing this plan.

As for plan three, Ji He already had some ideas in his mind.

Going directly to Zhang Daowen to express his ideas was the last option in his eyes.

If the confession failed, it would mean that he would withdraw from the Supreme Council of Star City, and his previous efforts would be in vain.

Time came to early morning.

After a busy night, Ji He pushed open the door of the office and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

At this moment, the communicator he carried with him made a "beep" sound.

Ji He, who was puzzled, picked up the communicator and pressed the receiving button. He only heard Lin Zhengyuan's anxious voice:

"Old Ji, a strong enemy is attacking from the north of Star City. Old Zhang has sensed the breath in advance and has taken action. Judging from the feedback from the blood radar, the enemy is very strong this time. It is the strongest life we ​​have encountered so far."

"What is the identity of the enemy?" Ji He asked immediately.

"We are already investigating the identity of the invading enemy. We have shared the information with the Mist Clan and the Silver Moon Clan. Now the Silver Moon Clan has given us relevant feedback. According to the Silver Moon Clan, the invading enemy exudes extremely terrifying negative emotional power. It is very likely that they are the evil warriors who escaped from the hell." "

Hell? Evil warriors?" Ji He     frowned slightly

while holding the communicator .     This is a domain force he has never heard of, and it is obviously not a domain force entrenched around Star City.     -WAP..COM-Go to view
