He turned around, looked at the leader of the Li faction, and said meaningfully: "Leader Li, our cooperation has just begun..." The diplomatic noise gradually subsided, and the joy of victory slowly settled in the hearts of the alliance members like champagne bubbles.
Mou Xuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the alliance hall. The sunlight shone through the glass, stretching his shadow very long.
He looked at the busy crowd outside the window, but his thoughts drifted farther away.
"Traffic, traffic..." Mou Xuan muttered to himself, tapping lightly on the window frame with his fingers, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound.
This sound seemed like a metronome of his thinking, beating out the blueprint in his mind again and again.
The alliance was just established and there was a lot of work to be done.
Although the cooperation with Li's forces temporarily alleviated the urgent problem of material shortages, in the long run, the transportation problem is like an invisible shackle that constrains the development of the alliance.
He thought of his past life, the opportunities he missed due to inconvenient transportation, and the tragedies in which rescue could not be provided in time due to blocked roads... Mou Xuan's fists clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.
"We can't let history repeat itself!" Mou Xuan said to himself.
He turned around and looked at Chen Yao with a determined look.
Chen Yao was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a document.
She felt Mou Xuan's gaze, raised her head and responded with a gentle smile.
The sunlight shone on her face, giving her a soft halo.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Yao put down the documents, walked to Mou Xuan, and gently took his arm.
"I'm thinking about what the next step for our alliance should be." Mou Xuan's voice was low and powerful, as if he was stating a fact or declaring a goal.
Chen Yao tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and said playfully, "Why, our 'great hero', do you have any 'shocking' ideas again?"
Mou Xuan was amused by her and scratched her nose lovingly: "What 'great hero'? I'm just a 'worrier'!"
"Worrying about life" is also a sweet burden. "Chen Yao snuggled up to Mou Xuan and said softly, "Tell me what you think, I'm listening. ”
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Transportation! Our alliance, as well as the transportation between the alliance and the outside world, must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!"
Chen Yao nodded in agreement: "That's what I meant. The connections between the various regions within our alliance are not close enough, and the allocation of materials and the flow of personnel are greatly restricted. Not to mention communication with the outside world, it is almost in a 'semi-closed' state."
Mou Xuan walked to a huge map and slid his finger across it. "Look, although our alliance's territory is not small, the terrain is complex, with mountains, rivers, and forests... If we don't have a complete transportation network, these natural barriers will become obstacles to our development."
Chen Yao also came over and looked at the map carefully: "Yes, if you want to be rich, build roads first! This principle applies everywhere."
Mou Xuan turned around and looked at Chen Yao, "
Chen Yao was slightly stunned, then she showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, leave it to me, I guarantee to complete the task!"
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
Just then, a member of the alliance rushed in and interrupted their conversation.
"Alliance leader! Miss Shen! Something bad has happened!" The man was panting, his face anxious.
Mou Xuan and Shen Yao felt a tightness in their hearts, and an ominous premonition came to their minds.
"What happened?" Mou Xuan asked in a deep voice.
"Several roads within our alliance... have been severely damaged, affecting normal traffic!" the man said anxiously, "Also, our construction materials... are seriously insufficient, and our transportation tools... are almost insufficient!"
Mou Xuan and Shen Yao looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"It seems that this transportation construction... is more 'urgent' than we thought..." Mou Xuan's voice was low and hoarse.
He walked to the window, looked at the busy people, and said, "It seems that we need to make everyone even busier..."
