Although the investigation and tracking of the magic mirror incident did not produce a satisfactory result, since the magic mirror was taken away by the people of the Dawn Association, they would have more experience in dealing with it than the Super Research Department. Therefore, although this abnormal incident cannot be said to have been completely handled, what the Super Research Department and the Paris police are doing now is no different from finishing up and cleaning up the mess.
Those who lost an exaggerated amount of weight were taken to a research medical center for treatment, with the government paying for their treatment.
As for those whose situation was not serious, such as those who had only seen Mrs. Ruby's circle of friends and lost a few kilograms, they simply didn't know the truth. At most, they were visited by the police once and forced to go to the hospital for a complete physical examination because someone anonymously reported them for drug use due to their weight loss and mental condition.
Since the police have made it mandatory and are willing to pay for the medical examination, most people will cooperate and go for the examination.
There was also a small episode in which there was actually one person who was taking drugs. After being found out, some drugs were found in his home and he was detained by the police.
…
Three days later, the fringe investigation into the Magic Mirror incident was still ongoing, but the attention of the entire French military and political leadership began to focus on an important meeting.
This meeting itself is no longer the key to determining the outcome of the meeting. Two days before the meeting, important decision information had already been transmitted among senior management, and small-scale discussions and debates had been conducted many times.
When the then-president agreed to hold this meeting, the outcome was basically determined. Such meetings are more for mutual understanding and supplementation, and the resolutions will revolve around how the new plan will be implemented rather than whether the plan itself will be passed.
As the superior departments of the Department of Paranormal Research and Response, the Ministry of National Defense and the General Planning Agency are the nominal initiators.
The participants include leaders of various key departments in France's economy, military, people's livelihood and other fields.
The Ministry of National Defense’s High-Level Conference Center in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.
People coming to attend the meeting have started to arrive one after another, and the people from the Super Research Department have already prepared everything and are waiting in the venue.
While Cordell was checking the information for the last time to see if it was complete, he occasionally greeted familiar military and political officials passing by.
Henry from the Planning Agency, the politician whom Cordel once disliked very much, walked up to him and the two shook hands tacitly.
The President was the last to arrive, and five minutes after he arrived at the venue, the hall was closed with the highest security level.
The president took the stage at the center of the semi-circular venue and delivered a brief speech.
The speech in his hand seemed a little heavy, so the old man simply turned the manuscript over and stopped looking at it.
"Everyone, today, our topic may be a bit heavy, and I don't want to go into more official language, so let's get started!"
The President looked around the venue and saw that all key departments were present.
"I think everyone here should know about our country's Paranormal Research and Response Department, right? If you have, please raise your hand now. There will be special information in the headphones."
Apparently, no one raised their hand.
"Very good. It seems that you have done your homework and come here because you understand that I am old and not suitable for speaking for a long time."
A rare burst of laughter broke out in the venue.
Keeping smiling and raising his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, the president continued.
"In the next three years, France's fiscal spending will shift from the economy to the military and disaster relief facilities. The specific details should be left to professionals to explain."
Even though they had been mentally prepared, hearing the president's words still caused a small stir in the meeting room.
The President nodded in the direction of Cordell and the Secretary of Defense, then left the podium.
And Cordell immediately walked out quickly and came to the podium.
On the screen behind him, several data tables appeared in parallel frames.
"Hi everyone, my name is Kodel Mambav, I think most people here know me."
"I am affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense and I am the chief of the Department of Research and Response to Supernatural Events."
Picking up the laser pen in his hand, Cordel pointed to the first data chart on the big screen.
As the red dot swung, the first picture instantly enlarged and covered the entire screen, with some textual comments and analysis instructions, as well as some additional links, appearing on it.
"On February 19th last year, the first suspected mutation was discovered in France."
The laser pointer stopped at the first data column.
"Since then, until August this year, we have discovered more and more abnormal events. Overall, we are still able to control them, but please look at the bar chart."
"The number of abnormal events has been increasing, and the growth rate is obvious."
When the laser pen points to several red pillars, links automatically pop up some pictures, including the famous death maze and the spontaneous combustion incident near Philier's home.
"The number of high-risk mutation incidents is also increasing, and there are situations that we cannot understand, including the death maze and the magic mirror incident that we discovered last week."
The data graph was then changed to a pie chart showing the distribution of danger levels.
From February last year to now, the proportion of green and blue has been obviously decreasing in each picture, while by August, the proportion of red and yellow has increased from less than 2% of the total to 8%.
There were few mediocre people present, and their breathing rates all decreased unconsciously.
"At the same time, rumors began to spread on the Internet, and regulatory authorities had to intervene when necessary to delete and change some information that might cause unrest."
Everyone understands this point. After all, the government cannot possibly detect and control every abnormality in the first place. There will always be times when they are missed. In such a developed information society, it is really difficult to completely prevent them in advance.
The subsequent data also includes some analytical deductions, some dangerous mutation response times and expanded content, and also extends to some mutations that have occurred in other parts of the world.
Then the data changed and suddenly became a French economic map, with GDP and a series of market construction proportions on it.
I don’t quite understand what’s going on here. Why do you put this picture up here?
Cordell looked in the direction of Henry not far away. The latter nodded, stood up and walked to the podium.
"This is France's economic spending and fiscal plan for the past two years, broken down by month."
The graphics were shown one by one, and although they seemed to be nothing new, everyone in the room, including the president, looked at them carefully.
Henry knocked on the podium, making a crisp "dong dong" sound.
"Have you found the problem?"
The laser pointer pointed to an inconspicuous trace of red in several pie charts.
“This is government risk-averse project construction.”
At the same time, the data graph was enlarged again, and a hint of green appeared in the red.
"This is the expenditure of the Super Research Department."
"Let's compare our allies again."
Similar data charts also appear in China and the United States.
“Due to the high level of confidentiality of their special departments, we cannot obtain the proportion of their internal funds, but we can see their expenditure on hedging projects.”
When the picture was enlarged, the audience burst into an uproar.
Looking at the French data chart, even in the most recent month, the proportion of red data is only 6.2%. This is the result after the discovery of the Dawn Secret House and exchanges with special departments in China and the United States. In the previous few months, it was less than 3%.
But what about China’s pictures?
Since the end of last year, the advance plans for hedging projects (which were not implemented at the time) accounted for 5%, which is the actual data, while the publicly announced figure is 2%.
Not long after the beginning of spring this year, the so-called "civil air defense replacement" project was quietly launched, accounting for 12% and the publicly announced figure was 5%.
Two months ago, the data had reached a terrifying 28%. Super bases and various shelters and scientific research construction have been fully launched, exceeding a quarter of the government's total spending plan, and the publicly announced figure is 10%.
The data chart then turns to the United States.
Basically, it started a little later than China, and the proportion was slightly lower at the beginning, but the growth rate was extremely fast, and is currently above 20%.
This information was basically obtained through communication and comprehensive analysis by spies, and many people present were not aware of it.
"Have you seen it? Everyone, our two most important allies now or in the future have already made a very clear judgment on the world situation!"
"The two countries are directing attention through superficial trade disputes with each other, and controlling the flow of funds through severe deleveraging and bank credit control policies to cover up the country's economic shift."
At this point, Henry's prepared content was finished, and Cordell became the speaker again.
"In this incident with the magic mirror, Luna, the person involved, directly entered a different world... France can no longer stand by and watch!"
At this point, even those present who had originally had complaints have already been shaken.
After gaining the approval of the majority, subsequent meetings went much more smoothly and began to get into the real topic of discussing the direction and order of withdrawing fiscal expenditures.
There is one point on which Cordel and the French Foreign Ministry are clear.
In the world today, in addition to those countries that have formed an alliance or are about to form an alliance, other countries, especially those that have better domestic control and larger territories, should have begun to react.
It’s just that most countries are now in a kind of “isolated island” state.
It has to be said that France, like China and the United States, has no intention of sharing its information results before its own country is sufficiently prepared.
After all, the doomsday crisis is just a warning level. Human beings are always more advanced than history. As long as today's humans do not commit suicide and with the existence of dawn, the possibility of not being able to survive is still relatively low.
When the changes in the world are irreversible, the more likely it is that the pattern will shift. The country that reacts faster at this time will have greater advantages in the future.
Taking three years as an experiment and making changes according to the situation during the process is already a great courage shown by the French.
