Chapter 109 Monopoly



The extraordinary meeting will be held at noon the next day local time.

The meeting was held in the holographic conference room of the main pyramid. Most of the people attending the meeting were senior generals of the Black Stone.

Although in theory Bai Yi can control everything in the entire fortress alone, he still needs the cooperation of many generals in actual operations.

Especially when in non-combat status, these people are still needed to maintain daily maintenance and patrol work.

There wasn't much to discuss during the entire meeting, so Bai Yi spoke very little.

His main purpose in organizing this meeting was, on the one hand, to gain a deeper understanding of the structure of Blackstone Fortress from the mouths of these generals, and on the other hand, simply to make himself familiar with them.

Even so, the meeting lasted until the evening. Most of the hundreds of people in attendance spoke, elaborating on the problems they encountered in production and life according to their respective responsibilities.

It also made Bai Yi more deeply aware of the one-sidedness of the existence of life species.

Due to the limitations of their thinking, they can only think from their own perspective and see their own interests. Although many people try to consider the overall situation, their limited vision still limits the decisions they can make.

For example, the Engineering Department complained that the fleet took up too many of their industrial resources, causing their project progress to be delayed again and again.

However, the fleet also has its own difficulties.

There are still many old spaceships in the First Fleet that are beyond their service life. The performance of these spaceships is far behind the current new models.

Before the Blackstone Fortress was completed, the First Fleet was the only defensive force available in the area, so they had to expand their strength as much as possible.

However, the interests of the fleet conflicted with those of the Engineering Department, as the latter was responsible for the construction of Blackstone Fortress. In addition, the Human Resources Department also protested to both parties.

There are also huge conflicts between the social welfare department and the transportation department.

These contradictions have been accumulating for a long time, but under the pressure of external threats, all departments are still barely maintaining restraint.

Bai Yi couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this meeting wasn't held today and this problem continued to be suppressed and then erupted one day.

At the end of the meeting, Bai Yi felt a headache looking at the long list of problems that had been compiled.

He never imagined that some of these issues could actually cause direct conflicts between departments. Because these issues are sometimes not conflicts at all, but simply mental imbalances caused by information asymmetry.

This imbalance worsened over time and then caused friction between departments.

Both sides felt that they were in the right, so they began to form small groups to create opposition.

"Why……"

The meeting is over.

Bai Yi turned off all the projections and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the cause of the problem is now known, mediation cannot be achieved overnight; it will be a long and painful process.

Unfortunately, Bai Yi is not good at enduring this kind of pain.

But now wasn't the time to think about that. He straightened his clothes and turned on the holographic projection again.

The blue light curtain once again enveloped the room.

He has a second meeting to go to.

The second meeting had far fewer participants than the first.

There were only a dozen or so attendees, all of them pure-blooded Earthlings. They all held high positions within the Earth United Nations, and even the deputy commander of the First Fleet participated in the meeting.

These people were more like an observation group than a meeting. Some of the members of First Middle School were stationed in the Upper Black Stone Fortress, observing every order Bai Yi issued and recording his every move.

This information will be encrypted and sent back to the United Nations on Earth via a dedicated line through the tachyon network. This will become an important criterion for determining whether Bai Yi is a qualified commander.

Bai Yi knew about this, but he had no objection. After all, he had been promoted to the position of commander-in-chief, so sending an observation team to conduct an inspection was normal.

The meeting ended in a harmonious yet eerie atmosphere.

It was already late at night.

But the flow of people on the street was not affected.

People who work and live here basically work in three shifts.

Day and night have no meaning here. The only meaningful thing is the 24-hour cycle.

Bai Yi went out to relax. He had been wondering about the source of the weird atmosphere at the meeting.

It wasn't until he saw a green reptile on the side of the road that he came to his senses.

Not only the second round of internal meetings, but even the first round of large-scale meetings, with more than four participants, were all Type I and Type II Homo sapiens, who were highly similar to humans.

At first glance, Bai Yi thought he was attending a groundbreaking ceremony on Earth.

Bai Yi immediately began to scrutinize the list of meeting participants. He discovered that these people were either pure-blooded Earthlings or vassals of the United Nations.

They are not a member of the Galactic Alliance, but participate in galactic politics as vassals of the United Nations on Earth.

If all this is true, then it represents a very terrifying fact.

At least in Upper Black Stone, the Earth United Nations has formed an absolute monopoly on power, and they have undermined the entire Galactic Alliance.

After realizing this, Bai Yi couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Politics was truly a fascinating thing.

If you feel that politics has nothing to do with you, it means that you have neither enjoyed political rights nor suffered the iron fist of politics.

He still felt a little happy in his heart.

After all, no matter what, Bai Yi was once an Earthling.

Seeing how strong the earth is now, there will definitely be a sense of pride.

Especially since I am in a high position now, and my identity is also given by the earth.

If it wasn't the Bai Yi of the past, he might have jumped up and down for joy.

Just as he was thinking this, Bai Yi bumped into someone as he walked to the corner of the corridor.

What hits you in the face is a refreshing fragrance. This smell is not as penetrating as death ambergris, but more like some kind of floral and fruity perfume with a little bit of citrus.

The black and white maid outfit is made of the finest material and feels extremely smooth.

At the same time, a soft elastic armor pressed against Bai Yi's chest, consuming some of the impact force between the two.

It was because of this that the two did not fall due to the collision with each other.

"Excuse me, are you okay?"

Bai Yi rubbed his head and looked at the other person, only to find that the person who came was another acquaintance besides Liu Shasha.
