Chapter 22: In Power
Seeing another elder of the population export faction being shot and falling to the ground, the other people in the meeting room immediately lost their arrogance and their expressions were as sad as if they had lost their parents.
But at this moment, Shengxia was still looking at her watch and counting down the time with a sense of oppression: "You have one last minute, 59, 58, 57..."
Mo Siming's cries of pain grew louder and louder. In the panic-stricken meeting room, someone finally gave up the pressure and handed over the power first. Sheng Xia took the voluntary retirement guarantee letter he had signed, stood up, shook his hand, and gave him a hug, saying that he had made a very wise choice.
"I've prepared a massage spa outside, you can go and enjoy it first."
As this person left, some people began to look at their watches and began to feel impatient, trying to sign their names to abdicate. However, the elder who had been shot and fell to the ground now began to call on everyone to fight to the end in a firm tone. He did not believe that Shengxia would really dare to shoot them all.
By then, the Federation will definitely send people to investigate the situation here, and Shengxia will not be able to escape.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Xia sneered, "Want to report this to the central government? You'll need someone to help you. Look at how many commanders and accompanying team members have died on this planet. Has the Federation investigated? If you're the first to die, everyone else will become accomplices in this murder. Profits may not necessarily make us allies, but evidence will definitely give us a handle."
After saying that, Shengxia pointed her gun at the elder's temple. At this moment, as long as she pulled the trigger, the elder would die here. Just when everyone's heart was in their throat, the elder's attitude suddenly softened. He raised his hands and said that Shengxia won while demanding that the voluntary retirement guarantee be handed to him, and he also wanted to sign it.
However, when Shengxia stood up and wanted to give him the letter of guarantee for voluntary retirement, he suddenly stood up and tried to attack Shengxia, ignoring his own wounds. As a result, the gun went off, and everyone in the meeting room screamed in shock.
They saw that the always arrogant elder was actually slashed in the head on the spot, and the blood on his head was like a flower blooming in the conference room, while Shengxia was still calm and sighed twice, feeling that it would have been better if she had been obedient in the beginning. Why did they have to force her to really take action?
"But now that he's dead, can you, who witnessed everything, cleanse yourselves?"
This sentence broke the psychological defenses of the other people in the meeting room. According to Shengxia's madness, if the Federation really sent people to investigate, she would drag all of them down with her.
In the past few weeks, Shengxia not only killed the famous killers on the planet Volker step by step, but also killed Dr. Scream in a live broadcast. Now she has secretly executed the elders of their population export faction and also took action against Mo Siming. She is really a complete lunatic.
If they sign the voluntary abdication guarantee now, they can at least survive for a while. If the people from the arms faction and the biological faction can really assassinate Shengxia, they can still return to their positions. If one side fails, they can break ties with the other side now and say that they were forced to do so. Then they can try to curry favor with Shengxia, and maybe they can still gain something.
Thinking of this, everyone in the conference room signed the voluntary abdication guarantee in their hands like a surging tide, and promised Shengxia one by one that they would obey Shengxia's orders and be available at any time during this period.
After one night,
Sheng Xia admired the retirement guarantee in her hand and looked at Mo Siming who was tied up beside her: "Look, this is what it feels like to release military power with a cup of wine."
Mo Siming snorted coldly, turned around and signaled the butler to open a bottle of good wine for him. He was not as optimistic as Shengxia. On the contrary, he just thought Shengxia was crazy.
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'A centipede is still alive even after death?' You may be feeling good now, but you'll suffer later. Especially since the man you killed has a more complex network of influence within the Federation than you think. The Federation will definitely send someone to investigate."
Shengxia laughed at this time: "Just delay it for a while."
"How long will it take?"
"If we wait until the blizzard closes the city, and the cold season is over next year, the scene will be completely different when people come again."
Mo Siming couldn't imagine what the scene would be like. He just kept muttering that he would help delay the people from the Federation, and at the same time asked Shengxia about her thoughts on the arms faction's assassination attempt on her and how she planned to respond.
But Shengxia changed the subject and mentioned that this year's Independence Army would not make any more big moves because they had enough heating equipment. So she had already done what she promised Mo Siming about the Independence Army.
Mo Siming was stunned. What did she want him to do again?
Sure enough, the next second, Shengxia proposed that in the next three months, when winter would arrive on Volk and a large number of migrant workers would return, she wanted Mo Siming to go to the Independence Army and help teach some knowledge in her name.
"Knowledge?"
"I often wonder if the people of Volk live in a state of disarray, not just because of the oppressive environment, but also because they simply can't find a way forward. Even though the independence army has some beautiful slogans and a corresponding spirit of resistance, without a guiding principle, Mars will remain just Mars."
Mo Siming: ... Guidance program, such a professional thing. It's not that he underestimates Shengxia, he just doesn't believe that Shengxia can come up with any good and practical guidance program at her age.
But Shengxia took it out and said, "Learn about communism, and from now on I will call you comrade."
Mo Siming: !!! No, she, she, she really has it?
In complete shock, Mo Siming took the red book, flipped through a page, and was completely fascinated by it. When he looked up again to find Sheng Xia, Sheng Xia had already left the villa where Mo Siming was. Mo Siming felt a surge of passion in his heart for no reason.
But the day when communism truly succeeds, the dictatorship and privileges that Shengxia seems to have now will all disappear. Can she really bear to let go?
On the other side, Shengxia, who had already arrived at the government hall, was arranging new work for Wei Jie.
"These days, after internal monitoring and the submission of relevant materials, all those who have done practical work have been promoted and retained. The remaining people will undergo a practical assessment. I will set the examination questions. Those who pass the assessment will be retained, and those who fail will be immediately dismissed. After that, a recruitment examination notice will be issued to the public, referred to as the national examination."
The more Wei Jie listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. Sheng Xia noticed this and told him to speak frankly.
"You're taking too big a step. It's easy to pull your leg."
Shengxia asked Wei Jie to speak, and Wei Jie was really rude. He reminded Shengxia that the people with connections in the government hall were all "hostages" appointed by Shengxia. As long as they come to work in the government hall for one day, the government hall will never become the target of any organization or violent group.
But now Shengxia not only wants to streamline the organization but also wants to let these people with connections participate in the assessment. He can figure out with his toes that these people with connections will not give any good results, so dismissing most of them has become a necessity. Will they be willing to accept this? Of course not. This unwillingness... Wei Jie suddenly fell silent at this point, and Shengxia, who had been listening to him silently, asked with interest: "Hmm? Go on."
Wei Jie: ... "You can easily die like this."
"I've heard the same thing many times."
"This is different from the past. I'm really worried now."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried you're really dead."
midsummer:……
Wei Jie: ...
After the two of them were silent for a while, Sheng Xia took a deep breath, put down the documents at hand, and told Wei Jie her next plan. After dismissing some of her relatives, she would go to the prison. In the past, anyone with a little talent or insight would be suppressed and imprisoned for various reasons. She must go and meet these people.
As for the unwilling part of the people that Wei Jie said would join the team that wanted to assassinate her, the fact is that regardless of whether they join or not, some people from the arms faction and the biological faction have already begun to stir.
If these relatives who have been cleared out dare to point their weapons at the new government affairs hall, then anti-terrorism only needs coordinates.
Wei Jie: ...???
"No, from what I hear you say, you're planning to wipe out the area where the arms faction is located? That won't work."
"Why not?"
"No, this..." Wei Jie couldn't even give a specific reason for a moment. He stood there for a long time before he finally came up with an idea. He told the Shengxia Arms Faction that they had an absolute number of troops. If they fought head-on, neither the police nor the federal security team would be able to withstand their wrath.
When Wei Jie mentioned this matter, he used the previous five planetary commanders as an example. Not to mention the police department that was lazy, most of the people in the federal security team were just pretending. After all, the arms faction was very generous in giving money and arms. Betrayal could happen in a matter of minutes. By then, no matter how powerful Sheng Xia was, after all, two fists could not beat four palms.
"Well, there are the lazy ones and the traitors. What if we add an independent army and prison inmates?"
"That's a fantasy. How could the Independence Army possibly help the Federation?" Wei Jie paused for a moment, then looked at Sheng Xia, who was smiling faintly. Realizing that the force Sheng Xia had prepared far exceeded his expectations, Wei Jie remained silent for a few seconds before offering Sheng Xia an argument he couldn't refuse: "If fighting breaks out in the city now, the only people who will suffer will be the civilians."
midsummer:……
After a long while, Shengxia let out a light breath, stood up, patted Wei Jie on the shoulder and told him that he was right. Once a fight broke out, the only people who would suffer would be the powerless civilians. She would try her best to prevent real violence, so Wei Jie had to help her, because streamlining the organization and getting rid of the relationship households were imperative.
Only by getting rid of these parasites first can the allocation of resources next year turn from loss to profit.
"I don't understand." At this moment, Wei Jie took a deep breath and asked the question he had wanted to ask Sheng Xia for a long time: "Why did you do this?"
Why bother? If it was just to eat at the table, the moment he killed Dr. Scream, Wei Jie believed that Sheng Xia had already got the ticket to enter the upper class. Moreover, with Sheng Xia's intelligence, wouldn't it be better to take it step by step? Why was he so anxious? He was scared just watching from the side.
“Because I want to retire.”
As a result, Shengxia gave an answer that was completely irrelevant to the topic. Wei Jie felt that his confusion was even greater, and he even thought that Shengxia was making fun of him.
He didn't understand why it would be great to retire now. Shengxia could completely ignore the world, and the hot springs here were very comfortable. However, Shengxia told him that she had seen a better world, and that better world was more suitable for the retirement life she wanted.
"You will also have the opportunity to see such a world."
Wei Jie: ... "I don't understand."
A beautiful world that is stable, prosperous, has an army composed of the people themselves, and has faith, dignity and equality.
