Governor Shi Di, the supreme leader of Gaotianyuan Sector, is also the second son of the third-generation Sector Governor Shi Burn.
At this time, I was in the high-rise box of Thousand Islands Aquarium, preparing to attend the afternoon collective wedding with Song Mingyuan, the confidential secretary.
Shi Di is now fifty-five years old. This age is not bad for a regional governor. He will not be considered "unreliable" by the public because he is too young.
But what many people don't know is that Shi Di was originally an artist in the first half of his life.
The former governor, Shi Burn, originally trained his eldest son, Shi Ying, as his successor.
However, Shi Burn underestimated his lifespan and overestimated the patience of his eldest son, Quartz.
Five years ago, after a secret campaign to seize power in the family failed, the eldest son Shi Ying committed suicide out of hatred. Shi Bo had to change the family heir to the second son Shi Di. At this time, Shi Di had been immersed in oil paintings for more than forty years.
He was even a well-known artist in the art world of Takamagahara, but he was forced by fate to switch to politics.
Under the huge blow of losing his heir, Shi Bo was forced to support his illness and trained Shi Di unexpectedly for a year, and then finally passed away because he couldn't hold on anymore.
In the subsequent district governor election, the National Elite Party won again as usual, and Shi Di became the fourth district governor of Gaotianyuan.
With the full support of the civil service system, Shi Di, who had only one year of political experience, adopted steady and favorable development policies, deeply consolidating the development achievements left by his ancestors, and his achievements have been widely recognized by all sectors of society.
At least that was true last week.
"Mingyuan." Looking at the accident report submitted by the military, Shi Di rubbed his tense temples and said in a serious tone, "The situation is very critical now. We must do something."
"Yes, I agree with your opinion." Confidential Secretary Song Mingyuan first agreed, and then added, "But as of now, the situation has been stabilized..."
"Wait a moment for the report." Shi Di had been dealing with this confidential secretary for nearly four years and had roughly noticed his usual tricks. He was not willing to let him fool him like this. He immediately interrupted him seriously and said, "Mingyuan, you
Can you tell me."
"Why in the past so many years, in a planetary metropolitan area, there have only been less than two digits of security officers dealing with some unknown, unspeakable, and extremely confidential danger?"
"Your question is very sensitive." Song Mingyuan explained calmly, "First of all, I want to correct your statement."
"Currently dealing with mysterious hidden dangers, there are 7 frontline operators from the Countermeasure Section 6 of the Jibei City Public Security Department, 20 people from the intelligence team, and 36 people from the military's special countermeasures team. If necessary, more can be temporarily mobilized
Manpower support..."
"More manpower?" Shi Di quickly asked, "How many are there?"
"For example, the Public Security Department is currently cooperating with third-party organizations." Song Mingyuan replied, "By introducing professional labor services, the initial manpower is expected to be expanded to more than 500."
"It's ridiculous." Shi Di threw the report in his hand on the table in displeasure and complained, "When encountering such a sudden social crisis, we actually have to join forces with private institutions. In the past, we invested in the public security system.
Has all that money been wasted redundantly by the people below?!"
"With all due respect." Song Mingyuan reminded him, "Our past financial investment in the public security system has actually been reduced year by year."
"Really?" Shi Di was a little unsure.
"Yes, and you have recently been thinking of laying off some civil servants." Song Mingyuan sighed.
"I am asking for the abolition of civil servants in order to better save financial expenses and use them in more appropriate places." Shi Di felt a little embarrassed on his face and tapped the table with his finger, "For example, if we invest in this mess of public security
on the system."
He was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and then he suddenly reacted:
"Wait a minute, Mingyuan, 'fiscal investment is reduced year by year', doesn't it mean that the financial investment is very small? What's more, no matter how it is reduced, the security system will not be able to recruit a team of several hundred people, and it will have to fight with the private sector.
cooperate!"
"That's right, Your Excellency the Governor." Song Mingyuan replied calmly and fluently, "The risk of mysterious things is too high, so in the past the Public Security Department has always adopted the strategy of elite soldiers. The cost of training an operator of Countermeasures Section 6, and
The operators who train the search class are completely different, and the prices are very different."
"As far as I know, just to become a grassroots operator of Countermeasures Section 6, you need to have an in-depth understanding of mysterious knowledge, and understanding this knowledge itself means risks, and risks represent high accident rates and high casualty rates.
, This is only during the training period, and does not include losses during official duty."
"If we adopt an extensive training model, the number of casualties will inevitably increase, which will further increase the difficulty of maintaining confidentiality at the social level. On the contrary, the strategy of elite soldiers can reduce the casualty rate and control the risk of confidentiality failure. The only thing that needs to be paid is a relatively high price.
The cost of personnel training is an optimal solution after weighing a lot of pros and cons."
"Strategy of elite soldiers." Shi Di complained impatiently, "I don't see where the elites are going. Now the whole city has blossomed and the people are living in dire straits. However, our elite security officers are unable to solve the situation and have to find someone to help them."
Private organizations come to help.”
"Do you know what those people from the Democratic First Party said? They said that all the financial investment that should be given to the public security system was diverted to propaganda and falsehoods!"
"Hell, last year their slogan was still 'You live under ubiquitous surveillance,' and they said both good and bad things about feelings."
"People from the Democratic First Party are just clowns." Song Mingyuan said with a smile, "Some down-and-out speculators from the island ethnic group are accustomed to creating, instigating, and provoking all kinds of unnecessary panic to intimidate our masses who are easily deceived.
But this is doomed to be in vain, because most people have sharp eyes..."
"Okay, don't sing your praises." Shi Di interrupted him irritably, "Let's get down to business."
"Yes, Your Excellency Governor." Song Mingyuan said seriously, "In fact, the strategy of elite troops has always been effective. This system started from the first generation of the district governor, Mr. Shi Zhiqing, and has gone through so many years of development and has been followed steadily to this day. It has always been
There was no big trouble."
"Until this time." Shi Di corrected him unhappily.
"Yes, but you can't deny the fruitful achievements over the years just because of a special accident, right?" Song Mingyuan showed a surprised look of incomprehension, "And our strategy of elite soldiers is to fight against natural disasters, but this time it is real.
It is a man-made disaster. Just like how good the flood control embankment is, it only targets the natural rise of water levels. It will definitely not be able to prevent someone from deliberately opening the gate to release water from the upstream reservoir... No matter how good the flood control embankment is, it will not work."
"Speaking of man-made disasters, what is the culprit?" Shi Di said weakly, "What is the situation of Mihui Nishikawa?"
"As far as I know, they are the family members of the victims of the Sumida Town tragedy a few years ago." Song Mingyuan replied, "Her husband and children were attacked by a pack of wild wolves on their way home from the town, and no bones were left."
"Oh, how pitiful." Shi Di was an artist after all. At this time, he showed his emotional side and asked with concern, "Didn't the Sumida Town Office compensate her?"
"Compensation was made." Song Mingyuan sighed, "but Nishikawa Meihui did not want compensation and demanded that these wild wolves be killed to avenge her husband and children."
"Then kill these beasts as soon as possible!" Shi Di said immediately, "Then reconcile with Nishikawa Mihui and comfort her first!"
"Unfortunately, we can't do it." Song Mingyuan was silent for a moment and said, "First of all, according to the current Ecological Protection Law, any institution or individual is prohibited from slaughtering animals; secondly, such behavior will arouse the opposition of many animal protection forces in society.
If you dislike it, it will inevitably affect your reputation and support rate."
"Ignoring the animal protection agency, what's going on with the Ecological Protection Law?" Shi Di showed an expression of extreme astonishment, "Then the meat we usually eat is..."
"Synthetic meat." Song Mingyuan replied, "The pork, chicken, beef and mutton we usually eat are all synthetic meat produced in factories. This bill was passed by your grandfather, Mr. Shi Jintang, in order to allow the Gaotianyuan sector to join the Federation's interstellar trade.
One of the package agreements signed by the Alliance with these nature-loving elves clearly stipulates that all mammals, birds, and some reptiles, amphibians and fish have the right to not be deprived of their lives.
that power."
"Oh! Oh, oh..." Shi Di suddenly began to ponder in embarrassment, "The bill was signed with the elves, so..."
"There is no way to violate it." Song Mingyuan sighed and said, "The federation has set up inspectors here. Once we are found to have violated the agreement, it will affect our membership status of Star Trade."
"Our Gaotianyuan Sector is a mining planet after all. Exporting ore to the Federal Star Trade Organization accounts for the absolute majority of our foreign exchange income, so we must abide by the rules of the elves, otherwise it will seriously affect the national economy, the income will drop off a cliff, and the people will
Falling into dire straits..."
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Shi Di interrupted him helplessly, trying to find some topic to cover up his embarrassment. Suddenly he looked outside the box and his eyes lit up:
"Is that Suzuna Tsukinomiya?"
"Yes." Song Mingyuan glanced out the window and quickly remembered that Shi Di admired Yuegong Qingzheng's daughter, "Mr. Governor, do you want to meet her?"
"Yeah." Shi Di smiled and nodded, "Ask her how she is doing lately."
