The Supreme Council of Star City.

Ji He was listening to the report of the military representative in his seat, a little absent-minded.

The crisis came suddenly, and he was really caught off guard.

According to the military's investigation report, he learned that the identity of the enemy has been basically determined, and it is an extremely evil warrior from the mysterious force "Infernal Hell".

The battle is now over, and Zhang Daowen won the final victory.

But Zhang Daowen was also injured in this battle and has chosen to go into seclusion.

As the strongest combat force in Star City, Zhang Daowen obviously needs to maintain his combat power at all times to deal with the sudden crisis again.

Seclusion is normal.

Ji He was incredible when he learned the news, and suddenly realized that the opportunity had come quietly.

If he can seize this opportunity, his reform of Star City will be promoted.

But this time, opportunities and challenges come together. The opportunity is that without Zhang Daowen, this insurmountable mountain, even if there will still be resistance to the implementation of reforms, these resistances are not impossible to resolve.     The challenge is that there is no more

.

Zhang Daowen, the situation of the human race will become even worse.

The challenges around are becoming increasingly severe. Zhang Daowen is not only a stabilizer internally, but also a deterrent force externally.

The first thought in Ji He's mind was that the news of Zhang Daowen's retreat must be blocked.

At this meeting, Ji He had a lot of thoughts.

Countless ideas intertwined in his mind. After the meeting ended and he returned home, he sat at his desk and began to prepare for the next action. With

the opportunity in front of him, he no longer had any hesitation in his heart.

The first target he set his sights on was the Hupo Research Institute.

The Hupo Research Institute is second only to the power agency of the military. The importance of Hu to Star City is self-evident, and it also has a very high voice in the Supreme Council of Star City.

Ji He had already thought of a plan on how to regain power from the Hupo Research Institute.

In terms of influence and power, Ji He believes that he cannot compare with the Hupo Research Institute.

But he The advantage is that he is in the dark, and the top management of Hupo Research Institute is not on guard against him.

Over the years, more than a dozen disciples he has trained have joined various energy institutions, and they will be an important part of the plan against Hupo Research Institute.

In fact, the conflicts between the various institutions of the Energy Research Institute and Hupo Research Institute have long existed.

The main conflicts come from the problems of resource and task allocation.

Looking at Hupo Research Institute from the perspective of energy institutions, every time they speak, they need the active cooperation of their various energy institutions, design several sets of plans for Hupo Research Institute to review, and the plans are often returned for modification.

Energy institutions have a special status in Xingcheng. They always seem to play the role of a punching bag, and they have basically no power of their own.

Ji He saw this breakthrough.

Five days later in the morning, the plan to seize power began.

The first link of the plan was thus opened, and on that day Three staff members of Xingcheng Research Institute took the initiative to contact the Supreme Council of Xingcheng and began to accuse Hupo Research Institute of oppression against Xingchen Research Institute and other energy departments.

The three staff members listed in detail the excessive demands that Hupo Research Institute had made on them and other energy research institutes over the years.

This involved resource scheduling, management, and so on.

In principle, this accusation was not serious, and similar situations had occurred in the early days of Xingcheng.

However, the situation would soon be mediated and calmed down.

At this time, the disciples arranged by Ji He in other energy institutions appeared on the scene, and the accusation soon involved other energy departments. One after another, the management of energy departments jumped out to join the accusation against Hupo Research Institute.

This also attracted the long-standing backlog of staff from various energy departments to enter the scene, and the conflict escalated to a dispute between various energy institutions and Hupo Research Institute.

For this reason, the Supreme Council of Xingcheng held a meeting three days later to discuss how to solve this problem.

At the meeting, Ji He expressed his views and took the initiative to solve the matter.

During the period, he did not accuse Hupo Research Institute in sharp words, but

participated in the mediation of the conflict from the position of a peacemaker, and openly wanted to resolve the conflict.

After the meeting, he called together representatives from Hupo Research Institute and various institutions of the Energy Research Institute.

After listening to the reasons for the conflict in detail, Ji He gave two options.

One option is biased towards the energy agency, thinking that the Hupo Research Institute can delegate the decision-making power on energy design plans to various energy agencies.

The other option is biased towards the Hupo Research Institute, thinking that various energy agencies should focus on the overall situation. Every decision made by the Hupo Research Institute is considered from the perspective of the development of Star City, without any selfish motives.

Ji He did not directly decide how to make a decision, but asked both parties to go back and think before making a decision.

Ji He knew in which direction the result of this step would develop.

His disciples only provoked the incident, but had no ability to influence the subsequent decisions of various energy agencies.

He gave two options, the purpose of which was to deepen the conflict between Hupo and various energy agencies.

The decentralization of energy design plans is a goal that various energy agencies have always desired. Faced with hard-won opportunities, they will never give up.

As one of the three major power agencies in the early days of Star City, the Hupo Research Institute has been deciding the future direction of energy agencies for hundreds of years. How could it agree to suddenly return power to various energy agencies?

This is also related to the development of the Hupo Research Institute.

After all, the technology of Hupo Research Institute is constantly upgrading, and the internal energy construction is constantly upgrading. It is of great significance for Hupo Research Institute to command various energy institutions.

Giving power to energy institutions means that energy institutions can independently decide the future direction.

For example, Hupo Research Institute recently wants to build a branch base and needs to build an energy structure. At this time, Hupo Research Institute can find the person in charge of each energy institution and directly arrange the implementation of the matter.

But if the power is delegated to the energy institution, the energy institution has the power to decide to improve the upgrade of the new energy structure for other institutions first.

This is an unacceptable result for Hupo Research Institute.

Just as Ji He planned, the contradictions gradually escalated, and the senior executives of the energy institutions who did not want to escalate the situation also joined the dispute.

Faced with a rare opportunity and the support of their subordinates, they chose to challenge the authority of the Hupo Research Institute and seek power for the energy agencies.

At this time, Ji He made another move.

In the name of the Supreme Council of Xingcheng, he convened a meeting again to discuss and decide how to deal with the matter.

The current situation is that the Hupo Research Institute is unwilling to withdraw, and the energy agencies are also unwilling to withdraw.

After the meeting, Ji He began to travel back and forth between the energy agencies and the Hupo Research Institute day after day.

When he convened the senior management of various energy agencies to discuss, he said that he was willing to fight for power for the energy agencies.

When he went to the Hupo Research Institute, he said that it was the tradition of Xingcheng for Hupo to govern the energy agencies, and he was willing to help the Hupo Research Institute deal with the matter and appease the energy agencies.

After gaining the trust of both sides, Ji He's next step started.

A month later, the Supreme Council of Xingcheng was held again.

At the meeting, the two sides were on the verge of a fight, and neither was willing to give in. At this time, Lin Zhengyuan, the representative of the military department who was sitting in the seat , spoke up:

"Since this conflict cannot be resolved for the time being, in order to stabilize the situation in Xingcheng, I propose to take back the power of both parties first, and temporarily hand it over to the Xingcheng Supreme Conference to make the decision... I recommend that Ji He temporarily take charge of the energy agency, and then delegate power after the matter is resolved."

After hearing this, the meeting was silent.

Then the representatives of the energy agencies spoke up to support this decision.

In the eyes of the representatives of various energy agencies, Ji He always stood on their side. The power was transferred from Hu Po to Ji He. They had already succeeded halfway. At that time, Ji He would help them get rid of the control of Hu Po Research Institute.

Then Hu Po Research Institute also spoke up to express support.

In the eyes of the senior management of Hu Po Research Institute, Ji He stood on their side. The temporary delegation of power was to stabilize the situation in Xingcheng, and the power would still return to Hu Po Research Institute at that time.

With this, Ji He gained

control of the energy agency.

But Ji He knew in his heart that Hu Po Research Institute had deep roots in Xingcheng, and it was impossible to take back all the power of Hu Po Research Institute by just doing this.

And this was only the first step in his plan to centralize power.

Next, he will use the Energy Research Institute as a starting point to gradually expand control over Star City.

Time flies.

In the next few years, Ji He's voice in the Supreme Council of Star City continued to increase.

During this period, he never made radical proposals, and always focused on stabilizing the situation in Star City. He connected with various power agencies through energy agencies to deepen his influence and was trusted by various agencies.

This laid the foundation for him to completely control Star City.

There is also a trend of replacing Zhang Daowen and becoming the next top manager of Star City.

But Ji He still finds it difficult to take back all power.

Dawn 402.

Star City Hospital.

Sitting in front of the bed, Ji He's ears rang with the "beeping" sound of the instrument, and his eyes were fixed on the haggard old man lying on the bed.

The old man opened his eyes at this time, trembling and stretched out his hand to Ji He, as if he wanted to say something.

"Teacher."

Ji He immediately reached out and took the old man's outstretched left hand.

"Xiaohe...you have finally come to this step."

The old man's tone trembled, and he seemed to be struggling when he spoke.

"Teacher, our dream is getting closer, you will see it with your own eyes."

"Our goal is correct... but the direction of development of the situation may not necessarily develop in the direction we expect... Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"I have thought about it, and I have the confidence to solve it."

The old man nodded with difficulty after hearing this:

"I probably won't be able to wait for that day... Before leaving... I have something I must tell you... Since you have made a decision... You can no longer have any concerns... The means must be ruthless... Any hesitation and softness will become a stumbling block on your way forward."

After saying this, the old man coughed violently.

That night, the old man passed away.

The old man's departure further strengthened Ji He's idea.

In the previous plan, he had always been thinking about one question, how to stabilize the situation in Xingcheng while seizing power.

Thinking too much, the plan to seize power has always been slow.

Next, he decided to change his style of doing things.

A lot of things happened this year.

Ji He's style of doing things suddenly became radical. First, as the highest decision-maker in Xingcheng, he dismissed the head of the personnel department of Xingcheng and replaced him with a disciple he had already arranged.

The reshuffle of Xingcheng began.

In addition to the Hupo Research Institute, which is still unshakable, Ji He's control has gradually spread from small institutions to large institutions.

After years of preparation, it was too late for Hupo Research Institute to react.

When he learned that Hupo Research Institute would hold a supreme meeting to accuse him of centralization, Ji He seemed unusually calm.

He still had a hidden chess move that he never moved.

This chess move was the ultimate blow to Hupo Research Institute.

That night, he called Hupo's current Dean Hu to the military in the name of the military.

Thinking that the military had important matters to discuss, Dean Hu hurried over. When he found Ji He sitting on the sofa in Lin Zhengyuan's office, he suddenly realized why Ji He's centralization was so smooth.

Facing Dean Hu's righteous accusations, Ji He's expression was indifferent and he did not refute anything.

He had thought about winning over Dean Hu, but the ideological differences made him realize that Dean Hu would never stand on his side.

As the dean of Hupo Research Institute, he has become the biggest obstacle in Ji He's eyes.

The highest meeting of Xingcheng will be held tomorrow. If Dean Hu accuses him at the venue of the highest meeting, he will be caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.

So he wanted to stop the situation from developing.

Before Dean Hu finished speaking, Ji He cast his eyes on Lin Zhengyuan.

Lin Zhengyuan tapped the table lightly, and the soldiers on duty outside pushed the door open and took Dean Hu away.

The military prison is the future destination that Ji He arranged for Dean Hu.

As for how to resolve the series of chain reactions after Dean Hu's disappearance, he has already made preparations to deal with it.

As long as Dean Hu disappears, Hupo Research Institute will fall into a period of turmoil, and this is also the time when he can most easily take back the power of Hupo Research Institute.

It is really too cruel to do this to his own people.

When future generations look back on this period of history, he will inevitably be a historical sinner.

But... so what.

The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations, and all he has to do is to implement his own ideas.

This is the goal he has been striving for all his life.

The next day, when Hupo Research Institute found that Dean Hu had not returned and could not be contacted, it was too late.

Hupo Research Institute has a huge influence on Xingcheng and controls most of the media, but the communications department cut off Hupo Research Institute's channels for external contact in advance that day, and then the military soldiers surrounded Hupo Research Institute to prevent the news from leaking. The nominal excuse is that it was discovered that there may be domain creatures infiltrating Hupo Research Institute and an investigation is underway.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the highest meeting of Xingcheng was held.

In full view of the crowd, Ji He sat on the main seat that once belonged to Zhang Daowen.

Overlooking the decision-makers of the Supreme Council of Star City, Ji He said softly:

"The Supreme Council of Star City will begin now, and the relevant persons in charge will begin to report on their recent work."

At this time, there were still some decision-makers in the Supreme Council of Star City who were not controlled by Ji He, but they could no longer influence Ji He to become the highest decision-maker of Star City.

If Dean Hu was still here, they could still follow Dean Hu to accuse Ji He of his behavior.

But now, none of them has the influence to become a leader.

The meeting ended, and Ji He and Lin Zhengyuan were the last to leave the venue.

"Old Lin, do you regret it?"

Ji He asked softly as he walked out of the gate of the venue and looked at the statue of the hero of Fengqi in the distance.

"Now that we have come to this point, is it useful to regret? How about you, have you ever regretted your decision? "

Ji He chuckled:

"I have never thought that I was wrong, so why should I regret it."

After speaking, Ji He walked forward.

Looking at Ji He's indifferent back, Lin Zhengyuan couldn't help but ask:

"Old Ji, I have always wanted to know why you had such an idea in the first place?"

Ji He paused when he heard it, and then smiled and replied without looking back:

"My most admired teacher let it go, I took over his philosophy and embarked on my own journey."
