Sitting at his seat, Ji He listened to the report from the military representative, feeling a little lost in thought.
The crisis came suddenly, and he was really caught off guard.
According to the investigation report of the military department, he learned that the identity of the enemy had been basically determined, and he was an extremely evil warrior from the mysterious force "Infernal Hell".
This battle is now over, and Zhang Daowen won the final victory.
However, Zhang Daowen was also injured in this battle and has chosen to retreat.
As the strongest combat force in Star City, Zhang Daowen obviously needs to maintain his combat power at all times in order to cope with the sudden crisis again.
Being in seclusion is normal.
When Ji He heard the news, he felt incredible and suddenly realized that the opportunity had quietly arrived.
If he can seize this opportunity, his reform of Star City will be promoted.
But this time opportunities and challenges come at the same time.
The opportunity is that without the insurmountable mountain of Zhang Daowen, even if there will still be resistance to the implementation of reforms, these resistances are not insurmountable.
The challenge is that without Zhang Daowen, the human race's situation will be even worse.
The surrounding challenges are intensifying day by day. Zhang Daowen is both an internal anchor and a deterrent force externally.
The first thought in Ji He's mind was that the news about Zhang Daowen's retreat must be sealed.
During this meeting, Ji He had a lot of thoughts.
Countless ideas were intertwined in his mind. When the meeting was over and he returned home, he sat at his desk and began to prepare for the next action.
The opportunity was in front of him, and he no longer had the slightest hesitation in his heart.
The first target he set his sights on was the Hu Po Research Institute.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute is second only to the military authority. Tiger's importance to Star City is self-evident, and it also has a high say in the Supreme Council of Star City.
Ji He has already made a plan on how to regain the power of the Hupo Research Institute.
In terms of influence and power, Ji He believes that he cannot compare with Hu Po Research Institute.
But his advantage is that he is in the dark, and the top management of the Hupo Research Institute is not on guard against him.
Over the years, more than a dozen disciples he trained have joined various energy agencies, and they will be an important part of this plan against the Hupo Research Institute.
In fact, conflicts between various institutions of the Energy Research Institute and the Hupo Research Institute have already existed.
The main contradiction comes from the problem of resource and task allocation.
Looking at the Hupo Research Institute from the perspective of energy agencies, every time they use words, they require the active cooperation of their energy agencies and design several plans for the Hupo Research Institute to review, and the plans are often returned for revision.
The energy agency has a special status in Star City. It always seems to play the role of a doormat and has basically no power of its own.
Ji He saw this breakthrough.
In the early morning five days later, the plan to seize power began.
The first link of the plan began. That day, three staff members of the Star City Research Institute took the initiative to contact the Star City Supreme Council and began to accuse the Hupo Research Institute of oppressing the Star Research Institute and other energy departments.
These three staff members listed in detail the excessive demands Hupo Research Institute has placed on their energy research institutes over the years.
It involves resource scheduling, management, etc.
In principle, this accusation is not serious. A similar situation occurred in Star City in its early days.
It's just that, the situation will soon be mediated and calmed down.
At this time, disciples assigned by Ji He to other energy institutions appeared on the stage, and the accusation soon involved other energy departments. One after another, the management of the energy department jumped out to join the accusation against the Hupo Research Institute.
This also caused long-backlogged staff from various energy departments to come in one after another, and the conflict escalated into a dispute between various energy agencies and the Hupo Research Institute.
For this reason, the Supreme Council of Star City held a meeting three days later to begin discussing how to solve this problem.
At the meeting, Ji He expressed his views and took the initiative to resolve the matter.
During this period, he did not criticize the Hupo Research Institute with sharp words, but participated in mediating the conflicts as a peacemaker, apparently wanting to resolve the conflicts.
After the meeting, he called together representatives from the Hupo Research Institute and the Energy Research Institute.
After listening to the reasons for the contradiction in detail, Ji He gave two plans.
One plan favors energy agencies, thinking that the Hupo Research Institute can delegate the decision-making power on energy design plans to each energy agency.
The other plan favors the Hupo Research Institute, which believes that energy agencies should focus on the overall situation. Every decision made by the Hupo Research Institute is based on the development of Star City and has no selfish motives.
Ji He did not directly decide how to make a decision, but asked both parties to go back and think before making a decision.
Ji He knew clearly in his mind which direction the result of this step would develop.
His disciples only stirred up trouble, but had no ability to influence the subsequent decisions of various energy agencies.
He gave two options with the purpose of deepening the conflict between Hu Po and various energy agencies.
The decentralization of energy design solutions is a goal that energy agencies have always aspired to, and they will not give up in the face of hard-won opportunities.
As one of the three major power agencies in the early days of Star City, the Hupo Research Institute has been deciding the future direction of energy agencies for hundreds of years. How could it agree to suddenly return power to various energy agencies?
This is also related to the development of Hupo Research Institute.
After all, Hupo Research Institute's technology is constantly upgrading, and its internal energy construction is constantly being upgraded. Commanding various energy agencies is of great significance to Hupo Research Institute.
Giving power to the energy agency means that the energy agency can independently determine the future direction.
For example, Hupo Research Institute recently wants to build a branch base and needs to build an energy architecture. At this time, Hupo Research Institute can find the heads of each energy agency and directly arrange the implementation of the matter.
But if power is delegated to the energy agency, the energy agency has the power to decide to upgrade the new energy structure to other agencies first.
This is a result that Hupo Research Institute cannot accept.
Just as Ji He planned, the conflict gradually escalated, and senior officials of the energy agency who originally did not want to escalate the situation also joined the dispute.
Faced with a rare opportunity and the support of their subordinates, they chose to challenge the authority of the Hupo Research Institute and seek power for the energy agency.
At this time Ji He took action again.
In the name of the Supreme Council of Star City, he held another meeting to discuss and decide how to handle the matter.
The current situation is that Hupo Research Institute is unwilling to retreat, and neither are the energy agencies.
After the meeting, Ji He began to travel between the Energy Agency and the Hupo Research Institute day after day.
When convening high-level discussions with various energy agencies, he stated that he was willing to fight for power for each energy agency.
When he went to the Hupo Research Institute, he said that it was Star City's tradition that Hupo had jurisdiction over energy agencies, and he was willing to help the Hupo Research Institute handle the matter and appease the energy agencies.
After gaining the trust of both parties, Ji He started the next step.
A month later, the Star City Supreme Meeting was held again.
The two sides were at loggerheads during the meeting, and neither side was willing to give in. At this time, Lin Zhengyuan, the military representative sitting on the seat, spoke up:
"Since this conflict cannot be resolved for the time being, in order to stabilize the situation in Star City, I propose to take back the power of both parties and leave it to the Supreme Council of Star City to make decisions for the time being... I recommend that Yuki River temporarily takes charge of the energy agency until the matter is resolved.
Delegate power.”
After hearing these words, the meeting place fell silent.
Later, representatives from the Energy Agency spoke out to support the decision.
In the eyes of representatives from various energy agencies, Ji He has always been on their side. The power has been transferred from Hu Po to Ji He. They have already succeeded halfway. When the time comes, Ji He will help them get rid of the control of Hu Po Research Institute.
Later, Hupo Research Institute also expressed its support.
In the eyes of the senior leaders of the Hupo Research Institute, Ji He is on their side. The temporary delegation of power is to stabilize the situation in Star City. When the time comes, the power will still return to the hands of the Hupo Research Institute.
At this point, Jihe gained control of the energy agency.
But Ji He knew in his heart that the Hupo Research Institute had deep roots in Star City, and it was impossible to take back all the power of the Hupo Research Institute based on this alone.
And this is only the first step in his plan to centralize power.
Next, he will use the Energy Research Institute as a starting point to gradually expand control of Star City.
time flies.
In the following years, Ji He's voice in the Supreme Council of Star City continued to increase.
During this period, he never made radical proposals, and always focused on stabilizing the situation in Star City. He connected with various power agencies through energy agencies, deepened his influence, and gained the trust of various agencies.
This laid the foundation for him to completely control Star City.
There is also a tendency to replace Zhang Daowen and become the next top manager of Star City.
But Ji He still found it difficult to take back all his power.
Daybreak 402.
Star City Hospital.
Sitting in front of the hospital bed, Ji He heard the beeping sound of the instrument in his ears, and looked directly at the haggard old man lying on the hospital bed.
The old man opened his eyes at this time and stretched out his hand to Ji He tremblingly, as if he wanted to say something.
"teacher."
Ji He immediately reached out and took the old man's extended left hand.
"Xiaohe...you have finally reached this point."
The old man's tone was trembling, and he seemed to be struggling when he spoke.
"Teacher, our dream is close, you will see it with your own eyes."
"Our goal is correct...but the direction of development of the situation may not necessarily be the direction we expect...Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"I have thought about it and have the confidence to solve it."
The old man who heard these words nodded hard:
"I probably can't wait for that day... Before I leave... I have something to tell you... Now that you have made a decision... you can no longer have any worries... The methods must be ruthless...
Any hesitation and soft-heartedness will become a stumbling block on your way forward."
After saying these words, the old man coughed violently.
That night, the old man passed away.
The old man's departure strengthened Ji He's thoughts.
In his previous plan, he had always been thinking about how to stabilize the situation in Star City and seize power at the same time.
Thinking too much causes the plan to seize power to advance slowly.
Next, he decided to change his behavior.
A lot happened this year.
Ji He's acting style suddenly became radical. As the top decision-maker of Star City, he first dismissed the head of Star City's personnel department and replaced him with a disciple whom he had already arranged.
The reshuffle of Star City begins now.
Except for the Hupo Research Institute, which still cannot be shaken, Jihe's control gradually spreads from small institutions to large institutions from bottom to top.
After years of laying the groundwork, by the time Hupo Research Institute reacted, it was already too late.
Ji He seemed unusually calm when he learned that the Hupo Research Institute would hold a supreme meeting to accuse him of centralizing power.
He still had one secret move that he never moved.
This move is a decisive blow to Hu Po Research Institute.
That night, he called Hu Po's current president, Hu Po, to the military headquarters in the name of the military headquarters.
Thinking that the military department had important matters to discuss, Dean Hu hurried over. When he found Ji He sitting on the sofa in Lin Zhengyuan's office, he suddenly realized why Ji He's centralization of power went so smoothly.
Faced with Dean Hu's righteous accusations, Ji He looked indifferent and made no rebuttal.
He once thought about winning over Dean Hu, but the ideological differences made him realize that it was impossible for Dean Hu to stand on his side.
As the director of the Hupo Research Institute, he has become the biggest obstacle in Ji He's eyes.
Star City's Supreme Council will be held tomorrow. If Dean Hu is allowed to accuse him at the Supreme Council's venue, he will be caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.
So he wants to stifle the development of the situation.
Before Dean Hu could finish speaking, Ji He turned his attention to Lin Zhengyuan.
Lin Zhengyuan tapped the table, and the military soldiers on duty pushed the door in and took away Dean Hu.
The military prison is the future destination arranged by Ji He for Dean Hu.
As for how to resolve the series of chain reactions after Dean Hu disappeared, he was already prepared to deal with it.
As long as Dean Hu disappears, the Hupo Research Institute will fall into a period of turmoil. This is also the time when it is easiest for him to take back the power of the Hupo Research Institute.
It is really cruel to do this to one of your own.
When future generations look back at this period of history, he will definitely be a historical sinner.
But...so what.
The merits and demerits are left to future generations to judge. All he has to do is implement his own ideas.
This is the goal he has strived for his whole life.
The next day, when the Hupo Research Institute discovered that Dean Hu had not returned and could not be contacted, it was already too late.
The Hupo Research Institute has a huge influence on Star City and controls most of the media. However, the communications department cut off the Hupo Research Institute's external communication channels in advance that day, and then military soldiers surrounded the Hupo Research Institute to prevent the leakage of information.
The nominal statement is that it was discovered that there may be domain creatures infiltrating the Hupo Research Institute, and an investigation is underway.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the Star City Supreme Meeting was held.
In full view of everyone, Ji He sat on the main seat that once belonged to Zhang Daowen.
Looking down at the decision-makers of the Supreme Council of Star City, Ji He spoke softly:
"The Star City Supreme Meeting will begin now. Relevant persons in charge should start reporting on their recent work."
At this time, there are still some decision-makers in Star City's Supreme Council who are not controlled by Ji He, but they can no longer influence Ji He to become Star City's top decision-maker.
If Dean Hu was still here, they could still follow Dean Hu and accuse Ji He of his behavior.
But now, none of them has the influence to become the leader.
The meeting ended, and Ji He and Lin Zhengyuan left the venue last.
"Old Lin, have you ever regretted it?"
Walking out of the gate of the venue and looking at the statue of Fengqi Hero in the distance, Ji He asked softly.
"We have come this far, is there any use in regretting it? What about you, have you ever regretted your decision?"
Ji He chuckled:
"I never thought I was wrong, so there is no need to regret it."
After saying this, Ji He stepped forward and walked forward.
Looking at Ji He's thin back, Lin Zhengyuan couldn't help but ask:
"Lao Ji, I have always wanted to know why you had such an idea in the first place?"
When Ji He heard this, his steps stopped, and then he replied with a smile without looking back:
"The teacher I admired most gave up. I took over his ideas and embarked on my own journey."
