To put it bluntly, the obvious means of plundering and plundering are no longer feasible.
Another way of thinking means that the other party is likely to use more sinister and shameful means, such as frame-up, assassination, etc.
Of course, the other party does not know the existence of Mr. Guo’s autographed will, so this farce may escalate.
“Xiaojiang, do you plan to release the news about this will, or keep it secret first?”
If the news is released first, it can be established legally and legally, and maybe it can make the other party calm down for a while.
If the will is kept secret for the time being and the other party does not know the existence of the will, it is bound to use official power to force Jiang Yue under the banner of procedural justice.
After weighing the situation, Jiang Yue felt that there was no need to disclose it for the time being.
By disclosing your will one day later, you can buy yourself more time.
Once the will is exposed and the other party finds that official procedures can no longer take away Villa No. 9, they will inevitably use shady means.
At that time, it will become even more difficult to guard against.
The longer the delay, the more prepared Jiang Yue will be, and the more confident he will be in dealing with various underhanded methods.
Jiang Yue was about to express this idea.
Both the ruler and Mr. Bai expressed their approval.
“Xiao Jiang, the situation is serious, you have to be at your best. Once the struggle begins, you will die or I will live. Don’t overestimate the bottom line of these people.” Han Yiming kindly reminded.
“If this matter has anything to do with that organization, they...there has never been such a thing as a bottom line.”
“Oh? It seems that Mr. Jiang knows a lot about this organization?” Mr. Bai became interested. He had been investigating this matter and considered himself a semi-expert on it.
“I have mentioned many details to Operations Division 3 before. I am not sure what their conspiracy is. But there is one thing that we must be careful about.”
"What?"
"This organization has a very capable laboratory. Their experiments closely follow the steps of the strange era. Various details show that their direction is to artificially create awakened persons and mutants, and even artificially create evil forces and build fighting machines...
…”
Jiang Yue’s words caused a great shock to Mr. Bai.
He has always suspected that this force has strong scientific research capabilities and even has a laboratory.
And what Jiang Yue described is undoubtedly crazier than what he speculated.
Not long after the strange era began, their direction was so clear, artificially creating evil forces. This sounds like the plot of an evil force plotting to rule the entire planet Gaia.
If it were a story, it would sound very cliche.
But once it comes into reality, it becomes chilling.
“Mr. Jiang, is this information reliable? How credible is it?” Mr. Bai asked solemnly.
“I want to say 100%, does Mr. Bai believe it?”
Mr. Bai's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"If this is the case, this force has really developed to a very terrifying level. There is a tiger lurking beside the ruler's bed."
"If it is not removed as soon as possible, it will become a serious problem in a short time."
"I'm afraid it's already a serious problem." The leader sighed, and then asked, "Mr. Bai, do you have any good strategies to deal with it?"
Mr. Bai pondered for a moment and then said: "In a peaceful time, there would be many ways. With so many armed forces in Star City united, we are not afraid that we will not be able to eradicate such an underground cancer. But now..."
"Mr. Bai, there is no need to avoid anything, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Let's be honest today, open our hearts, and say whatever we have."
“With all due respect, I am in charge. It’s not that I look down on various power departments. When it comes to handling these matters, the most capable department is the Star City Operations Bureau, right?”
The Lord in Charge nodded in agreement.
“Director Yiyi Hao of the Action Bureau certainly has no qualms with the Lord in charge. But how many of the five Operations Divisions in the Action Bureau are the same as Director Yihao? How many traitors are lurking in the Action Bureau?”
“Besides the Action Bureau, how many other departments can be mobilized at a single order and executed unconditionally? Will they be held back at critical moments, work is wasted, or even cause trouble?”
In normal times, the ruler would definitely say the same thing.
When an order is given to take charge, the people below must carry it out. Even if they feel a little nauseous, they still have to show their appearance.
Because their future is decided by the ruler.
Disobeying orders is a taboo in officialdom from a disciplinary perspective. It is almost impossible to happen.
The bad thing is that with the advent of strange times, the original structure seems to be still stable and has not been significantly affected, but the minds of people in various positions may not be so stable, and people's minds have changed.
Under such circumstances, everyone's selfishness is infinitely magnified. Coupled with the interruption of communication, communication is no longer so smooth. There are countless reasonable excuses for various departments to play a little clever and do some tricks.
It’s hard to say whether the signboard “Master in Charge” is still as useful as before.
Those who can be smart in various departments are basically talented people.
As long as you are a good person, you will make small calculations and find a way out for yourself.
It is basically impossible to bet all the chips on the side of the leader.
It is better not to use such people than not to use them.
“Mr. Bai, what do you mean?”
“I feel more and more that at this time, the ruler must have a team that can act like an arm and a finger, a team of his own, a team that can absolutely obey orders and govern.”
In normal times, as a local government, this kind of team is absolutely not allowed to exist. Any team must nominally obey the state.
Completes that are completely under the orders of private individuals are absolutely not allowed to exist.
It is impossible to do such a taboo thing and it will cause you to lose your head. Doing this kind of thing in peacetime is tantamount to treason.
“Mr. Bai, we in Dazhang don’t want to have private troops.”
"This does not necessarily have to be a private team. In extraordinary times, the ruler can have many names, establish new departments, and recruit new people. This is also to cope with the needs of strange times. I believe this will be an obvious driving force in the future.
.”
“But there is no such precedent in the country, right?”
“There must be the first person to eat the crab.” Mr. Bai advised, “In charge of the administration, instead of talking nonsense in various departments and being exhausted by the time, it is better to prepare in advance.”
“It’s always been like this in our country of Zhangzhou. Even if everyone knows that it will become normal, the first person to eat the crab may not be able to do well.”
“In charge, if you are worried about the negative impact, you can actually look for candidates privately first, wait until the time is right, get approval from superiors, and then fill in the holes one by one. The key to this matter is manpower, not procedures.”
"Second brother, I think what Mr. Bai said makes sense. Our Action Bureau is also recruiting people now, but the size of the Action Bureau is too small after all. We have been talking about expanding the team, but we are still wrangling. According to me, this is all
It's time. If we follow the original procedures, we really can't keep up with the changes in the situation."
Even Lao Han, who has always been strict, can't stand the current situation.
In the past few days, various strange incidents have occurred one after another, and the operations bureau's manpower is stretched thin. It's like a head full of lice crawling, and there are only ten fingers in total, and no matter how hard you press it, it's not enough.
The leader glanced at Han Yiming and said, "Fourth Brother, given the current situation, how large do you think your operations bureau should be to expand it?"
"To tell the truth, expanding ten times is not enough. What is lacking now is not the quantity of manpower, but the quality. There are too few awakened people in our team. No matter how well-trained the team members are, they simply cannot handle strange events. If we are given
With three to five thousand awakened people crammed in, the pressure will definitely be much less."
Three to five thousand awakened ones?
At present, it does not mean that it cannot be found at all.
There must be this number of awakened people in the entire Star City.
But the problem is that joining the Action Bureau is not something you can just plug and play as soon as you come in. You have to go through political review and training, and you have to go through all kinds of basic procedures, right?
Otherwise, who can guarantee that after these people come in, they will work wholeheartedly for you? They won’t do anything wrong?
Now the Awakened Ones are at their most popular, and all the major forces are trying their best to woo them. Whether the powerful Awakened Ones are willing to join the action bureau is also a question.
After all, the benefits that the major forces can provide are far more substantial than the salary of the Action Bureau.
That's it in peaceful times. In strange times, people's desires will naturally expand even more when the constraints become smaller.
How easy is it to recruit three to five thousand awakened people?
The Lord Governor smiled bitterly: "Fourth child, you have a huge appetite, even bigger than my appetite as the Lord Governor."
Mr. Bai said: "The Action Bureau has a big appetite, which is normal. After all, they are fighting on the front line. If you want to establish this team, I don't think it has to have so many people. Overall, it needs to be noble.
Not much more expensive.”
At the administrative level, we should focus on the big things and let go of the small ones.
Different from front-line combat departments like the Operations Bureau, the Operations Bureau has to deal with each case one by one, which naturally requires a large number of manpower.
But in charge of this team, it must be an elite army, and it must not be used for piecemeal matters.
“Mr. Bai, in your opinion, how appropriate is it?”
“It can range from a few dozen to three hundred at most.”
The leader sighed: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Mr. Bai about this matter."
Mr. Bai smiled and said: "In my opinion, there is a more suitable candidate than me right now."
"oh?"
Mr. Bai looked at Jiang Yue with a smile.
Jiang Yue had a black line, Mr. Bai's idea hit him.
“You mean Xiao Jiang?” The ruler looked at Jiang Yue with a smile.
“In my opinion, Xiao Jiang is the most suitable candidate. He is young and has not been infected with the habits of officialdom. He is very malleable and is much more trustworthy than those old officials.”
The leader sighed: "As far as I know, Xiao Jiang has rejected the action bureau and the military. He may not give me the face of an old man like me."
Han Jingjing pouted as she listened, shook the leader's shoulders and said coquettishly: "Dad, you are not old!"
At the same time, a pair of beautiful eyes were full of expectation, looking at Jiang Yue with a smile.
Jiang Yue shook his head secretly.
Mr. Bai said: "Mr. Jiang, don't refuse in a hurry. This moment is the same as the other moment. The situation has developed to this point. Sometimes, it is a good vision to be alone, but the situation may not go as you wish. According to the information you provided
From the information, I can also see that you and the underground force are already on obvious opposite sides. Under this general premise, you and the ruler have a common position and common interests. I think that working together is definitely better than
Isn’t it more appropriate to fight alone?”
When it came to this matter, Jiang Yue knew that it would be inappropriate to refuse on the spot.
You have to give the other party some face.
"In charge, I am completely unprepared for this matter. Let me think about it. Besides, Jingjing knows me. I am lazy by nature and most afraid of restraint. I didn't join the military or join the action bureau. In fact, it was
This is the reason."
The leader smiled heartily: "Xiao Jiang, in this weird era, we definitely can't use the rules and regulations of the peaceful era to restrict you. I still have this point of enlightenment. You don't have to be anxious, think about it slowly. As long as we have the same starting point, we are like-minded comrades.
One day, everyone will come together."
We are all smart people, and we will stop at the right time.
It would be awkward to discuss this topic any further.
Han Yiming changed the topic at the right time: "Xiao Jiang, I'm not a gossip person, but I have a question that makes me a little curious."
"What?"
“What’s going on with that tiger of yours? Did you keep it in the Daozi Lane villa? Or was it left by the original owner of Villa No. 9?”
The power of the tiger spread throughout the Daozi Lane villa.
Han Yiming has been watching in the dark, seeing things clearly, and his curiosity is naturally more serious.
Although other people have not witnessed it with their own eyes, they have always heard the majestic roar and majesty of the tiger.
“That’s not a real tiger, it’s a magic trick.”
Magic?
The expressions of several people present were suddenly very exciting.
In fact, all the people present have heard of Jiang Yue's various deeds. They have analyzed Jiang Yue's many miraculous experiences countless times.
It simply cannot be explained using secular methods.
Even if you are an awakened person, it makes no sense at all.
At this moment, everyone was surprised to hear that Jiang Yue personally inherited the technique, but they also thought it was natural.
Mr. Bai murmured: "Before my father disappeared, he was also such a reclusive man. Unfortunately, he did not leave much inheritance. I am afraid that what I learned is less than ten. It seems that Mr. Jiang got a lot from Mr. Guo.
It’s true.”
Get the true biography of Mr. Guo?
Jiang Yue secretly smiled bitterly, that's really not the case. Apart from Villa No. 9, Jiang Yue really didn't get anything from Mr. Guo.
Han Jingjing said: "Uncle Bai, Jiang Yue's grandfather, is known as the old god in his hometown. His skills may not have been learned from Mr. Guo."
The Lord in charge also nodded lightly.
The Lord in charge has naturally checked Jiang Yue's information. He had also discussed Jiang Yue's grandfather with General Tong of the military.
In the era before the advent of weirdness, being called an old god was not an ordinary praise.
While several people were talking, Jiang Yue suddenly stood up and said, "Someone is approaching Villa No. 8. It seems to be Director Ye."
“Why is he here?” Han Yiming frowned.
The Lord Governor smiled leisurely: "It's time to come. With such a big thing happening, they can't just leave me, the Star City Lord, aside, right?"
