Chenxi City
"What are you looking at?"
Christos pushed open the door of his office and looked in front of him at Deputy Mayor Sert who was sitting at his desk.
"Looking at some information,"
Seth flipped through the documents in his hand and said slowly,
"When the young deputy mayor of Winter City came to visit, I asked her for some data on the Winter City Municipal Government, but they had just started at that time and had no data. It was not until today that the first batch of data was released.
The data is sent out.
"You know, they bought the entire city-region consortium 'United Industries' that originally monopolized the entire city by the city government. They are the only city where the city government controls the regional consortium, so I want to take a look at their management and operation data and see.
What's the difference."
"How are they doing now?"
Christos reached out and closed the door, and asked slowly.
"Honestly, it's better than I expected,"
Seth flipped through the documents and said slowly,
"In fact, this was their first time doing something like this, and they encountered many problems.
"But fortunately, under the guidance of their little 'K', they separated the company's affairs from the government's affairs in a controlled manner, and they did not aggressively try to acquire all small businesses at once.
Still trying to maintain the original ecological structure,
"This is very good. It's very scientific and dialectical thinking. Try it step by step. Although most people understand these principles, you know, it is difficult to truly exercise restraint.
"City employees and cabinet bureaucrats will always find ways to expand their powers, but too rough and disorderly expansion will lead to greater chaos.
"Although the young deputy mayor looks like a little girl who loves to cry, she is surprisingly capable."
"Human nature is such that even among government employees and cabinet, there will be conflicts for power,"
Christos nodded, walked to the other side of the desk with the documents, and said with a smile, "Those old government employees who have been employed for decades will always try to interfere with us temporary employees who can only work for a few years."
Workers' bureaucracy.
"There are a few guys in our cabinet who seem to be being played around by their secretaries. I have tried to remind them many times. If they still can't realize this, I will have to consider replacing them with people who are more aware of this."
Come up."
Then he paused and thought softly, "But I remember that the little 'K' in Winter City is called Iroh? He is only twelve years old?"
"yes."
Seth paused slightly while flipping the files and sighed softly.
The spacious and bright office suddenly became silent.
"Anything new discovered?"
After a while, Christos sighed softly and broke the silence, "About those new attempts in Winter City."
"A little bit, but it's very vague. I can't summarize it clearly now,"
Seth closed the document in his hand, "To be precise, I don't know whether their attempt is correct. Thinking of a single argument will always lead to large deviations."
"No one can be sure that he is right,"
Christos shook his head, "When starting something new, it is normal to take the wrong path. The development of human civilization itself is trying to find the right path through mistakes again and again. Before history can make a final conclusion,
, no one knows if we are on the right path."
He looked at Seth with a smile, "So I have been stuck in my thoughts for so many years and finally have a clue? Now there are just more cases missing?"
"Perhaps running with you was the right decision?"
Sert stacked all the documents together. "Aside from the higher mortality rate, it is indeed easy to come into contact with new things and realize experiences that I could not imagine in school before."
"Risk always coexists with benefit. Strictly speaking, people only have two possibilities: life and death. Therefore, from the perspective of outsiders, before meeting a person, the probability of that person's survival and death is equal, so everyone's
The mortality rate should be 50% and not change, so your mortality rate shouldn’t have increased?”
Christos smiled and said, "But I think you shouldn't stick to the data of Chenxi City or Winter City. Our 'old friend' has taken action so many times, and the 'answer' left for us may not be the same."
It’s not just Winter City.”
"What a cold sophistry joke,"
Seth put down the document in his hand and spread his hands, "But you are right, there really shouldn't be only one 'answer' left by 'K'. Maybe I can open my eyes and look at other places."
He looked at the document in Christos' hand, "Okay, let's talk about yours. Is your bill ready?"
"certainly,"
Christos put the document in his hand on the table, looked at his deputy mayor, and said with a smile, "Now that the city council and the Palace of Glory are in my hands, we should give those 'old guys' some 'surprises'
Already."
"I don't know if it's a surprise or not,"
Seth looked down at the prepared bill proposal, "I was shocked just by seeing the name. I now feel that my mortality rate is close to the sum of two 50%."
He looked up at Christos and asked, "When are you going to take this bill to Parliament?"
Christos glanced out the window at the sun setting lower in the sky, "The city council is off today, but we can release the news as soon as possible, but the media still needs to prepare. It should be done before dawn tomorrow?"
"Lynn just came to me to order a lot of screens and advertising equipment, and also asked me for help from hackers. Judging from the intelligence sent by people over there, I'm afraid his condition is not that good, and the 'support' we give him has to be
quick."
"It seems that none of our 'old friends' will be able to sleep in in the morning tomorrow."
Seth also looked up at the setting sun in the sky and smiled.
The bright lights mixed with the streamers of the setting sun, shining on the documents on the desktop, outlining the black text on the cover with a glorious edge.
"Anti-Corporate Monopoly Act"

Yilan City
He Ao stood on the balcony, raised his head, and looked at the crowded high-rise buildings and colorful neon lights in front of him.
These tall buildings flash with brilliant colors, connecting the earth and the sky, making it difficult to see the city beyond the Saint-Elan district behind these tall buildings.
"Mr. Linn, do we really want to install so many advertising screens in Ningwis, Wyke, and Seina?"
The blond chief of staff stood beside him, looking at the tablet in his hand, frowning slightly.
"Although these purchased items are not expensive, and it is not difficult to buy those abandoned billboards, the advertising industry in Yilan City has declined very much, and the inventory of advertising screens in the entire Yilan City is not enough for our needs."
"fine,"
He Ao shook his head, withdrew his gaze from the tall buildings in the distance, and looked at the chief of staff beside him.
"Try to buy everything that meets the requirements on the market. I have already ordered a batch of screens from Chenxi City. They will find a company that can provide so many supplies, and then deliver the products as soon as possible.
"Chenxi City is not far from us. If we hurry, we should arrive as soon as tomorrow morning."
"OK."
The blond chief of staff glanced at He Ao, finally put away the tablet, hugged it to his chest, nodded slightly, "Then I'll make arrangements first."
"Go ahead."
He Ao nodded slightly.
The blond chief of staff turned to leave, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly paused and reached out to touch his ear. Then he turned back and looked at He Ao, "Mr. Linn, General Scott called and wanted to talk to him."
You talk."
"Connect to the communication."
He Ao turned around completely and walked into the silent office with the blond chief of staff.
As the blond chief of staff walked away, he reached out and pressed a button on the desk.
A holographic projection of a man with a tall figure, a sharp face, and neatly dressed in an officer's uniform was projected on the desk.
North City Commander Scott is probably in his fifties, younger than both Linn and Covey. He is tall and straight, with a strong back and a strong back. He also looks more energetic than Linn and Covey.
"Mayor Lynn."
Scott in the projection looked at He Ao, put his hands across his chest, and performed a military salute.
He Ao nodded slightly in return.
"Mayor Lynn, if you don't answer my call again,"
When the salute was over, Scott put down his arms and said with a smile, "I thought I was going to be unemployed soon."
Scott is now the Minister of Urban Defense of Yilan City. He Ao was injured last night and did not answer his call. He did not call for him at the cabinet meeting today. He also fired a lot of cabinet ministers at the cabinet meeting. All these things combined
, it is normal for Scott to be worried.
Lynn and Scott have a good relationship. From what Lynn knows, Scott's personality is more direct. Even if he talks in a roundabout way, he is direct and clear.
Put your concerns out in the open.
"Most of the cabinet officials who were fired had some special reasons and had done something illegal and criminal,"
He Ao smiled and said, "Today's cabinet meeting has nothing to do with the city defense army, so there is no need to invite you."
"So everyone who is invited to the meeting may have problems, but I have absolutely no problems, so I don't need to participate?"
Scott looked at He Ao, thought and chuckled, "Then I'll feel relieved."
Then he glanced left and right at He Ao, "Mayor Lin En, how are your injuries?"
"It's pretty good, I can move normally without any problem,"
He Ao smiled, and then asked slowly, "Have you found the launch sites of those guided missiles?"
Judging from the direction of the missile launch last night, it seemed that it came from the Wake area in the north. He Ao had asked Tucker to arrange for someone to investigate.
The entire city defense force in South City knew what happened last night, and Scott in North City most likely also obtained the information through some channels.
Under normal circumstances, Scott should have started screening the sources of these missiles.
"The other party has built a hidden facility. Judging from the simulated flight trajectory, it should come from the Wake area,"
When He Ao asked this question, Scott did not deny that he did not know, but answered bluntly, "But from the trajectory to the launch site, we did not find any launcher, so the missile should be in front of
There is also a hidden route that deliberately affects the computer and causes misjudgments.
"The missile launch site may not necessarily be in the Wake District in the north, but may also be in St. Ilan in the east, Sena District in the west, and..."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Ningweis District in the south."
"Um,"
He Ao nodded slightly, "General Covey is also looking for the missile launcher. As long as such a large thing has existed, traces will definitely be found."
"If we can find this launcher, we may be able to figure out where these assassins came from. If they still have people in Yilan City and are still preparing to assassinate, this can help us nip the crisis in the bud."
Scott looked at He Ao, "The person who can get these things is by no means some ordinary organization, it is probably a professional mercenary."
Then he pressed his forehead, "But all our doors are strictly checked. How on earth did they bring these horrific war weapons into the city, these madmen."
"There are many ways to get in, and even such a big thing doesn't necessarily have to be shipped in whole."
He Ao shook his head. There were dozens of smuggling methods in the memory of Ronal, the wilderness wanderer.
The simplest way is to dismantle these missiles and missile racks into parts and let people bring them into the city.
Although the gate of the fortress city has strict access control, the soldiers will not go through everyone's belongings in detail. What's more, there are many wilderness wanderers who like to bring some strange things into the city, and it will take a lot of time to check them one by one.
.
Therefore, it is still possible to sneak into the city with the parts. Finally, professionals who sneak into the city will reassemble these things, pour fuel and explosive parts, and reconstruct them into a new missile like building blocks.
However, the premise of this method is that these missiles are modular enough and the modules that make up the missile are small enough, and there cannot be missile covers that require large trucks to pull them.
This kind of special missile needs to be customized at a high price.
Of course, it would be normal if Ivis Space Systems was behind these mercenaries, because most of the federal guided missiles are now sold by Ivis Space Systems Group, and they are the manufacturers.
"really,"
Hearing He Ao's words, Scott nodded slightly.
He didn't wonder why He Ao knew this wilderness knowledge. After all, Lin En often traveled in the wilderness back then.
But while nodding, he seemed to remember something, and asked slowly, "My sentry seems to have discovered traces of the mercenary group of the Ivis Space System. Are they coming to Yilan City?"
"It's getting closer,"
He Ao said slowly, "We don't know their intentions at the moment."
"If you need to fight,"
Scott straightened up instantly, "The city defense troops in the North City are willing to fight to protect Yilan at any time."
"This mercenary group is still approaching the south gate. The situation outside the north gate is not yet known,"
He Ao shook his head, "But the north gate is also very important. The caravans we and Chenxi City mainly enter through the east gate and the north gate. If any accident occurs, we must protect the north gate."
"yes!"
Scott nodded heavily, then he lowered his head, coughed slightly, and said slowly, "Mayor Lynn, I heard that you went to the South City Command Center last night..."
This guy really didn't hide the fact that he arranged spies for Covey.
"I went there for a while. There were some problems last night, but they have been solved now,"
He Ao nodded slightly. He looked at Scott's projection and said with a smile, "I also want to visit Beicheng."
"The soldiers of Beicheng are always willing to be inspected by their mayor!"
Scott immediately said, "So Mayor Lynn, when are you coming?"
He Ao glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "It's too late today. Let's leave one more day to prepare. How about the morning after tomorrow?"
"good!"
Scott smiled and said, "Although you said you are willing to review at any time, Mayor Lynn really shocked me when you said 'today'. If you come here today, I'm afraid I won't be able to make any preparations.
I would probably be scolded to death by officers who were unprepared."
"You can't relax in your daily training,"
He Ao nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Then I look forward to seeing the courage of Beicheng's soldiers."
"Of course, Mr. Mayor will not be disappointed!"
Scott nodded heavily.
Then He Ao reached out and hung up the phone.
He turned around, walked to the balcony again, and looked up at the dark sky in the south.
Buzz——
At this moment, his bracelet vibrated. He raised it and looked at the content on the bracelet.
This is a new message. The source of the message is 'General Covey'. There is only one short sentence in the message.
[The mercenary group of Ives Space System is parked at the boundary of the safe area outside the south gate.]
