"All city walls need further repair and reinforcement..."
In the conference room.
The heads of almost all departments of the Longdu War Preparedness Department gathered together.
Everyone's expressions were dull, and their attention was all focused on Xue Yun. They couldn't take their eyes away and looked a little surprised.
"The city defenses at these locations are old and have not been maintained for many years. If the enemy concentrates their firepower and launches a strong attack, they will collapse almost immediately, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Lifting his chin, he faced the city map in the holographic image in front of him.
Xue Yun didn't think too much at all, and quickly stretched out his hand to mark out dozens of weak points in the Longdu city wall.
In an instant——
The heads of various departments present were instantly confused.
They really couldn't figure out why the other party was so familiar with Longdu's city defense tasks, even though they had just taken office not long ago, as if they had participated in the construction many years ago.
"what?"
He raised his head and glanced at everyone.
Xue Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you guys looking at me for, the first day we met?"
"No, it's okay..."
He waved his hands quickly.
Tian Zelin smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that, Instructor Xue, you have just taken office, how come you are so familiar with our Longdu's defense? You guys are just a little surprised."
A bunch of idiots.
When I was building the city wall in the slums, you guys were probably not weaned yet? !
Most of these defense points that have been in disrepair are actually old problems left over from history.
In some places, it has even been shelved for decades.
In the past, when the world was peaceful, monsters from the wild would occasionally attack, and they usually would not attack these weak points, so it has not attracted the attention of Longdu's senior officials.
But things are different now.
Daxia's empire was falling apart, the imperial army was eyeing it, and the city lords of various princes had coveted the territory of Longdu for a long time.
People and freaks are different.
Perhaps in terms of pure destructive power, the Night's Watch Legion is sometimes not as ferocious as a large number of monster beasts, but humans know how to strategize and attack in the east and west, especially like to take advantage of loopholes. If they are not careful, they will be defeated like a mountain.
I complained in my heart.
Xue Yun remained calm on the surface, waving his hand to close the holographic map in front of him, changing the subject and continuing: "In short, these hidden dangers have always existed, and the consequences will be endless if the delay continues. I must completely solve all problems within half a year!"
As soon as these words came out.
The entire conference room was immediately in an uproar, especially Ding Mian, who had been responsible for the construction of the city wall, and his jaw almost dropped to the conference table.
"Isn't it!?"
A sad face.
Ding Mian wailed on the spot: "How is it possible to complete these repairs within half a year? It's simply impossible!"
Today's Longdu is extremely short of supplies.
Whether it is human or material resources, they can no longer compare with the heyday of the year.
The resources required to build the city wall are so huge, and a large amount of manpower and material resources must be used to maintain the smooth progress of the project.
In just half a year, where could Ding Mian go to raise such a huge expense? !
He drooped his eyelids.
Xue Yun sat back on the chair and suddenly felt a headache.
As the saying goes, a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice...
to be honest.
Nowadays, Longdu has suffered a material catastrophe. Not only is it sitting on nothing, but it is also unable to withstand the collapse of the economic system of the Great Xia Empire.
Your grandpa’s legs...
The fuss has been going on for a long time, and it turned out to be because of lack of money!
I couldn't help but feel regretful.
If he had known this, Xue Yun should have saved some money back then. At the very least, he should have left hundreds of kilograms of magnetic gold ore in the system space. That stuff is now a solid currency.
"I have thought of a way, maybe it can solve the urgent need." Xia Lengling said at the side.
"Oh, really?"
I couldn't help but cheer up.
Xue Yun quickly asked: "Tell me, what is the good idea?"
"'Zuo Group'!"
Xia Lengling blurted out: "Previously, they had made a request for cooperation to the Longdu War Preparedness Department, hoping to graft their newly developed artificial intelligence system onto the city defense system."
Smile slightly.
Xia Lengling continued: "However, due to the shortage of supplies at that time, the whole city was starving, so this plan was temporarily shelved by City Lord Hu. Now that the crisis has been basically resolved, it is better to choose to cooperate with them... .”
"As long as we liberalize our policies and allow them to provide funds, necessary materials, and human and material resources, these two projects can be carried out together. It will be beneficial to both parties without any harm."
As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately aroused the approval of everyone present.
critical moments.
It must be said that extending an olive branch to civil society through outsourcing cooperation is indeed a very suitable implementation plan.
"no!"
His face darkened.
Xue Yun's eyes were deep and he said with an unkind expression: "I don't agree with this plan, absolutely not!"
As soon as these words came out.
All the people in charge present were stunned. While looking at each other, they had no idea what was going on.
"Why is this?" Xia Lengling asked.
"No reason......"
Looking directly at Xia Lengling.
Xue Yun's eyes were blazing, and he shook his head and said: "This project can be handed over to anyone, but it cannot be handed over to the 'Zuo Group'!"
The scene froze for a while.
A slightly awkward atmosphere quickly spread throughout the conference room.
Repairing a city wall that has been in disrepair for a long time, and having to complete strict targets within a short period of time, is by no means an easy task.
Take a look at the entire Dragon City.
Among the private capital forces, except for the "Zuo Group" who has this strength, others do not have the qualifications at all.
"Xue Yun, do you have any misunderstanding about the 'Zuo Group'?"
Still not giving up.
Xia Lengling stood up silently and said with a wry smile: "Yes, Zuo Xinghe did target you back then, but that was all in the past. Today, the Zuo family does not care about political affairs and is focused on doing business under the leadership of Zuo Anqi. The research on scientific research projects has long lost the ambition it once had..."
"enough!"
He slammed the table.
Xue Yun made a quick decision and shouted to stop the senior in front of him.
"Xia Lengling, I am going to correct you on two things now. Listen clearly to me and always keep them in mind..."
As a junior, this is the first time I call him by his first name.
Xue Yun said without a smile and with a serious face: "First, during working hours, please call me minister or chief!"
"Second, as the top leader of the War Preparedness Department, I have the right to reject any proposal of all of you here without giving you a suitable reason!"
The law must be clear and the orders must be implemented.
As the head of the War Preparedness Department, Xue Yun's authority cannot be questioned and there must be no sloppiness.
not to mention.
He couldn't explain clearly to everyone that the so-called "Zuo Group" had now become Zhao Tianyi's possession, and Zuo Anqi was nothing more than a silly puppet.
As for Zhao Tianyi...
This man is so terrible, no one knows what is going on in his heart.
Even more, no one knows whether what he did will pose a potential threat to Longdu.
Biotechnology, artificial intelligence.
Everything is too mysterious, out of touch with normal people's thinking patterns, and there are too many uncertainties.
If the "Zuo Group" is allowed to get involved in the city's defense matters, it is very likely that hidden dangers will be laid one day in the future, and the safety of millions of people will be manipulated by Zhao Tianyi.
He was slightly startled.
Xia Lengling was stunned for a moment, her expression was dull and she lowered her head silently.
"Then...how to solve the funding problem?" Ding Mian suddenly asked.
Hear the words.
Everyone was speechless again, and for a while there was no better solution available, and the meeting was at a stalemate.
Didi didi...
A rapid ringing sound suddenly started.
He glanced at the black box in front of him. This is a communication facility specially used by the War Preparedness Department to contact participants. Under normal circumstances, it will only be used if an extremely urgent incident occurs.
After pressing the connect button, Xue Yun asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Report to the Minister..."
The emergency correspondent on the ground of the office building said: "City Lord Hu has an order, ordering you to go to the City Lord's Mansion immediately. He said that an envoy from Fengdu has arrived and seems to be here to discuss the ransom of the captives."
He was suddenly startled.
Xue Yun looked up at the crowd, grinned and said: "It seems that our luck is quite good, no, this is the opportunity to rip off!"
