Since Thousand Sails City was upgraded to a super city, the five major consortia jointly established a high-level council in order to minimize the influence of the federal government on the city.

The representatives of the parliament are almost all elected by large and medium-sized capital consortia in Qianfan City, and although the federal government also has a few seats in it, most of the power is held by top conglomerates.

It's just that in order to maintain the credibility of the Qianfan City government in the eyes of the people, the top executives of the major consortia have tacitly stopped mentioning it in public.

As a result, the Thousand Sails government, or the Thousand Sails government, which was established with the consent of the federal government, is still considered by the people to be the highest authority, but the really important matters often need the approval of the high-level council before they can be implemented.

The development of Thousand Sails City in recent years can be described as smooth sailing, and the internal meetings of the high-level council are basically maintained at a regular meeting once a month.

However, with the successive strange incidents in the lower city, the meeting has become the norm for nearly two months, and the scale has evolved from a small meeting of key departments such as the Security Department and the Epidemic Prevention Center to a large-scale meeting that is close to full attendance.

For the people of Qianfan City, it is undoubtedly a good thing that the top government attaches so much importance to these things.

It's just that this frequent meeting has become the most troublesome thing for the head of the garrison, Bulvo, except for the Ouroboros organization.

No way, who made him the main person in charge of the safety of the lower city of Thousand Sails City?

Almost every time he held a meeting, he had to go up like a war criminal to report on the current situation in Thousand Sails City.

Not only that, but most of the time he had to endure questions from representatives of the major conglomerates, who didn't care what was behind the terror in the lower city, and all they wanted to hear from Bulvo was a report that the matter had been resolved.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Grabbing the glass made of irregular facets, he scolded in a low voice and drank the liquor from it.

The cold drink slid down his throat, and the strong aftertaste made Bulvo's face redden.

"I'm sorry, sir!"

Colonel Sacco, who had only just turned on the communication channel on the light screen in front of him, hastened to apologize, even though he had no idea what he had done wrong.

"It's not that you...... Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this, how are the affairs of Community 23 and Community 37 handled now. ”

His gaze stayed in the upper right corner of the light screen, and there were still 43 minutes before the meeting began, and Bulvo needed to come up with a reasonable plan in less than an hour, otherwise he would be greeted with another wave of sarcasm and ridicule that would make him want to lift the table and beat people.

Colonel Sacco is now Bulvo's right-hand man because of his outstanding performance in the Scavenger program, which is still in charge of the former's extensive experience with Ouroboros in the low-level community.

"The intersection of the two places has been cordoned off, and our people and the research team of the Archaeological Association are conducting tests on the spot......"

Behind Sacco on the screen is the street scene of Neighborhood 23, and his footsteps seem to be moving as he speaks, and finally turns into a laneway, and then he continues,

"Sir, the situation is a bit troublesome, according to the latest inspection reports, there is some kind of special energy field at these two intersections, they can't give a clearer explanation, but it is certain that the mental state of anyone who passes through these two places will be eroded. ”

"The reason, the street that used to be functioning normally, suddenly there is a problem, there must be a reason, do you want me to tell those guys later, this is God's will?"

With his left hand, he wiped his face and tugged at the tie that his secretary had just put him in order, and the heating in the car made Bulvoir inexplicably irritable.

"The intersection of the No. 23 community collapsed a few days ago, I asked the construction team that undertook this part of the project, they said that the cause of the accident was the center of the street was exerted an extremely strong impact, I suspect that it may be related to this situation, the surveillance video has been extracted, and it is being analyzed as quickly as possible, as for other reasons, it has not been found yet. ”

Sacco was well aware of Bulvo's difficulties, and he racked his brains to find a reason for his new backer to deal with the next meeting.

"Artificially applied impact...... You continue to follow up, feel free to contact me if there is any news. ”

Turning the contents of Sacco's report around his mind a few times, Bulvoo looked at the government buildings that were getting closer and closer in front of him, as if something suddenly came to mind, and continued,

"Later today, the president of the Archaeological Society may come to you to find out about the Scavenger Project, and tell her whatever you know. ”

Explaining this matter is somewhat of a gesture of favor to President Virginia, although the latter said that he had told him everything he knew in the phone call between the two just now, Bulwer was still a little worried that the other party would deliberately hide key information from him because of the previous government's ban on the archaeological association.

Hang up the communication, and the airboat stops in front of the government building.

As soon as he got out of the car, he didn't take a few steps when he saw a few people standing near the door looking at him not far away, some of them were familiar, but they couldn't remember the identity of the other party for a while.

In order to show the majesty of the government of Thousand Sails City to the outside world, the representatives of the major consortia had to get off the empty boat and enter the venue on foot, instead of directly hovering the empty boat in mid-air.

"Minister, they are the Woo Aircraft Group, which previously hosted a charity dinner in Community 1, headed by the group's president, Mr. William Baldwin. ”

The secretary, who was one identity behind, noticed the puzzled look on Bulvo's face, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"The people of the Wu Flying Machine?"

Bulvoo frowned and paused,

"Are they looking at me?"

Being able to sit in the position of the head of the garrison department, Bulvoo naturally has his own way, but most of them are concentrated on the side of Yuanfan and Crown, although Wu's aircraft also intersect, but it is limited to the most basic communication, after all, if he is too close to other consortia, he will only cause trouble for himself.

Without waiting for the secretary to reply, William Baldwin, who was walking towards him, personally verified Bulvoir's idea.

"Mr. Bulvo, I have something I would like to talk to you about alone before the meeting begins, I wonder if I have time?"

William was followed by two other representatives of the Wu Group in the high-level council, which was undoubtedly a sign of status in a parliament of only 26 people.

"Of course. ”

Behind him, Yuanfan and Bulvo of the Crown Machinery Group also had enough confidence, and stretched out his hand to say as he stretched out.

So the two walked side by side, and the secretary and the rest of the Wu Group deliberately left room for them to talk.

"What happened in the downtown area lately must have been a headache for Mr. Bulward, right?"

Walking into the government building, William took the initiative to speak.

"It's just that some cult organizations are unwilling to accept the defeat of the low-level communities and stubbornly resist, and they just make a fuss about ordinary streets and ordinary people, which is enough to prove that their manpower has suffered heavy losses in the previous operation, and they can only dare to do some things like stealing chickens and dogs. ”

After sitting in the position of the head of the garrison department for so many years, Bulvo naturally knows what to say and what not to say, and the meeting is about to start, even if there is a big thing in the lower city, he has to take it down!

"You also know that most of Wu's business is in the lower city, so he is always a little sensitive to this aspect of affairs, Minister Bulvo, can you give me an explanation, will the situation in the lower city continue to deteriorate?"

Wu's Aircraft Group is very famous for its airboats, but their real main business is still the transportation of various industries, including intercity railways, air tracks, commercial and cargo flows, etc., and these are almost all things closely related to people's livelihood.

With that in mind, Bulvoir agreed with the reason why William had asked him before the meeting began.

"There is an emergency situation in community 23 and community 37 today, we need time to understand the situation, the investigation is ongoing, although the other party's methods are a little weird, but I believe that there will be results soon. ”

The words are the words of the scene, and as for the meaning of the words, Bulvoo believes that the other party can hear it.

"I've heard that someone at the meeting will ask for the temporary opening of the tinder mode, I wonder what Minister Bulvo thinks?"

William only smiled at Bulvo's "confession" and moved on to another matter.

"Tinder mode?"

Hearing this term, Bulvo's mind immediately came up with the prerequisite for starting this mode, that is, encountering a major safety accident on the previous return trip, and then almost subconsciously lowered his face and spoke in a cold and hard tone,

"I don't think it's time to turn on the tinder mode, the garrison is still capable of dealing with the crisis, and we will never compromise with any terrorist organization!"

Are you kidding!

If the council chooses to turn on Tinder mode, it will be tantamount to telling everyone that he, the head of the garrison, cannot solve the crisis facing Thousand Sails City, and must rely on this kind of reluctance to preserve his strength.

He can't afford to lose this person, and he said that if there is such a day, he will definitely not be able to keep the position under his ass!

"That's good, if the tinder mode is turned on, the loss of our Wu Group is really incalculable, so I am so eager to ask for your opinion first, and now with Minister Bulvo's guarantee, I can rest assured on my side, I still have some affairs to deal with, see you later." ”

William kept smiling, stretched out his hand to shake Bulvo, and then turned away without hesitation, even his steps were much brisker, as if he had received an answer that he was satisfied with.

Two other representatives of the Ng Group raised their heels.

Unsurprisingly, Bulvoo was opposed to turning on Tinder mode. ”

Gradually slowing down, William turned around and looked at the two behind him,

"But..... His opinion never mattered, all we had to do was make him understand that the Wu Group was on the side of opposition to starting the Tinder mode from the beginning. ”

The High Council has a provision from the very beginning of its establishment.

The final vote on the passability and immediate implementation of a proposal must be by secret ballot.
