Section 194: The Beginning of the Otaku Party

The time was not long after the end of the second plenary meeting. The anti-encirclement campaign has not yet begun, and the expedition to the Pearl River is even more distant. The common program was promulgated, the organization was adjusted, and the Dugu case came to an end. In addition to the nv servant to raise Jihua, a series of initiatives were completed before the old calendar and New Year in 1630. The result was not a happy result, but at least it satisfied most people. When the time comes to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, it seems that the crossing group has put down the burden on its back and is ready to move forward lightly.

However, in Qian Shuiting's view, this series of changes implies a greater crisis. In his alarmist words: It is possible for the establishment faction to institutionalize and legitimize the rule of authority in the name of the rule of law. If this continues, it may lead to the emergence of ** groups and the internal luàn and division of the groups.

"Is this the new Saturnian community?" Qian Shuiting thought secretly as he walked towards the dock where the Feiyun was moored. He stood at the edge of the dark water, fidgetily lit a cigarette. The first armies of armed sailing ships have already been organized. You can see the sailors on the ship. The construction site in the far reaches of the harbor is brightly lit, the piling rig roars, and the tractor makes the sudden sound of diesel engines from time to time. Construction is underway at the construction site of the Navy Arsenal.

In the past, seeing all this only made Qian Shuiting feel excited and happy. At this moment, an inexplicable sense of fear enveloped him—this increasingly powerful state apparatus was being built, and who could guarantee that it would fall into the hands of a group of people as a tool to oppress them?

He was dissatisfied with the Second Plenum, which, in his view, was just a struggle between one faction of the establishment and the defeat of another, and then a compromise between the two sides absorbed some careerists. It is just a new pattern of profit distribution. On the surface, it seems that the masses feel that their demands and interests have been satisfied, but at a deep level, power is not only not dispersed, but has a tendency to be centralized and **.

He steadied himself and threw the cigarette butt that had almost burned to the end of the sponge into the rippling water, and then walked briskly towards the Feiyun.

On the pier of Bopu, among the ships brought by the "Australians", the Feiyun is the second eye-catching ship - the Holy Ship is impressed by its incomparably large size, but the Feiyun is eye-catching with its beautiful streamlined hull and shiny ornate livery.

The Feiyun was originally a luxury sailing ship for hire, but since the Qian brothers got their hands on it, they have changed its name to this - using the name of the famous sailing ship in history. The sail outfit is a two-masted four-jib. The hull is thirty meters long and has a standard displacement of one hundred tons. Speeds of up to twelve knots can be achieved with either a sail or a spare diesel engine. This speed is about the same as the economic speed of holy ships and fishing boats. It is not inferior to being used as a patrol boat.

The upper deck of the Feiyun is a large semi-open cabin with a bar. In the lower deck of the boat is the galley, and in the front and rear are the dining room and living room. The master bedroom is in the front and there are three guest rooms in the back, two cabins are double chuáng and one cabin is upper and lower single chuáng. The three cabins with double chuáng have two single chuáng that can be lowered from the roof, while all chuáng can be stowed under the bulkhead or floor. So there are a maximum of fourteen chuáng seats on the whole ship, and all four cabins can also be turned into ordinary reception rooms. There is also an office--library, a pantry, three full bathrooms with bathrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and a lot of storage closets. On the ground floor, in addition to the engine room, fuel tanks, water tanks, gas tanks, generators, desalination equipment, and UPS battery backup batteries charged by outdoor solar panels. There is also a lot of free storage space. The smuggled arms were packed at the bottom as ballast.

Although the entire space of the Feiyun is not large, it is compact and reasonable. If it is used as a meeting place, it can accommodate up to 100 people at the same time. The glass mén in the front and rear of the upper cabin is fully opened, and the front and rear decks are connected, and a large party of fifty or sixty people can be held. The luxurious interior decoration made by jīng, the exquisite lighting fixtures, and the large LED screens embedded in the bulkheads are all over the ship. Even in the time and space that the crowd has left, it is a luxurious place that only a few wealthy people can access.

The reason why the Qian brothers were willing to rent this yacht at a large price at that time was not only to facilitate the smuggling of arms, but also to consider the difficult conditions of another time and space and the lack of living facilities, so that the ship could be used as a floating living base - they did not have any hope for the living facilities at the beginning.

After the crossing, in recognition of their outstanding contribution to bringing a large number of munitions, the Executive Committee left the ship for the North American rudder to continue to use - so the Feiyun became the residence of the Qian brothers and Zhou Weisen.

Qian Shuiting walked to the pier of the Feiyun, it was already dark, but the gangplank was still erected - since the overnight attack on Bopu, Li Di had sent a notice to all the ships manned at night to put away the gangplank after dark, close the cabin, and if possible, arrange personnel to keep watch all night.

Of course, the Feiyun couldn't be manned, but its berth was close to the port office, almost under the sentinel's eyelid. In the light of the horselight at the stern, it was seen that the front and rear glass méns of the semi-open cabins on the upper deck had been fitted with iron plates - some of these glass méns had been broken during the night raid, and the removable iron guards had been added to the outer layer after the glass had been replaced. The traces of the night attack can still be seen on the Feiyun now: the shell deflated by the cannons, the paint rubbed off by the feathered arrows...... Some fragile and outward parts have been dismantled and stored - including sails and cables.

He took a few steps to get on the boat, mén opened, and half of Zheng Shangjie's face appeared: "Come on, I'll wait for you"

Qian Shuiting nodded, and quickly flashed into the mén.

There were no lights on the upper floor, and it was dark. Zheng Shangjie locked Mén and turned on the emergency light in his hand.

"Everyone was in the restaurant. You have a heart under your feet. She reminded.

"Weishenme doesn't turn on the lights, the dark nòng is sneaky." Qian Shuiting felt a bit like an underground party rally.

"Didn't you say that? Everyone's living standards are not high, the dormitory is still limited in electricity, and our grandiose lighting has a bad impact. ”

"Oh." Qian Shuiting followed Zheng Shangjie to the second floor. In the cafeteria, the core staff of the North American helm were waiting for him.

The people in the "Big Brother" and "Old Qian" restaurants greeted each other, and the people seated inside were Qian Shuiting's wife, Ai Beibei, director of the pathology department and fù obstetrics department of Bairen General Hospital; Qian Shuixie - Qian Shuiting's brother, who is currently a "basic labor force" - mainly does the work of driving and repairing cars, which is also what he is good at; Zheng Shangjie, his wife, with a well-spoken mouth, worked in Li Mei's cooperative after the nationalization of the Fùnv cooperative.

One is Zhou Weisen, who is a doctor of biology and now works in the biology room, focusing on vaccines.

"Where's Babe?" Qian Shuiting is most concerned about his own NV.

"Sleep—a day of crazy play."

Zhou Weisen's abducted Sister Mén Dosa Xiǎo is also there--Sister Mén Dosa Xiǎo's Chinese language proficiency is still lackluster, and she can't talk about any practical skills, which makes her basically nowhere to go in Lingao, and completely reduced to a family fùnv who runs the house. The meals and cleaning of the three families on board the Feiyun were all taken care of by her, a double master's degree in English language and literature and Latin. Therefore, the three families of the North American rudder basically eat strange flavors of Chinese food every day.

In addition to Cào taking care of the housework, Sister Mén Dosa Xiǎo is basically a hún rice in the crossing group, and after the wind blows at this conference, she is also counted as a veteran, Qian Shuiting and Zhou Weisen both feel that tǐng is lucky.

The lights in the restaurant are dim to save electricity – most of the electricity on the ship comes from the power system on the shore, except for solar panels, and everyone consciously uses as little electricity as possible to avoid gossip when there is a severe shortage of electricity.

Qian Shuiting said: "Let's have a meeting." ”

At this time, Sister Mén Dosa Xiǎo said in English: "I went back to my room to watch TV." ”

She didn't know Chinese, so she certainly couldn't join the discussion. Zhou Weisen said at this time, "How about we have a meeting in English?" That way, Diana was able to participate in the discussion. She is my wife, and she should have the right to know. ”

"Okay. Then we'll talk about it in English. Qian Shuiting nodded, "Let's just have a meeting with a few of us, everyone knows the roots, and they can be trusted like brothers." Qian Shuiting drank a glass of water.

The so-called North American rudder theoretically includes all the veterans from North America, but in fact, the main core of this rudder is only the Qian brothers and Zhou Weisen. Among them, Qian Shuiting's activities are the most active.

From the outside, Qian Shuiting is very inconspicuous. A fat man who is not tall, and has an affinity for the popular appearance. He was a man who made people feel safe and not easy to impress, plus he was usually low-key and secluded, and there were many people who did not know him in the Senate. And most of the people who know him only know that he is Director Ai's husband. Some firearms enthusiasts know that he is very bāng at playing with guns and knows a lot about firearms. Of course, almost everyone who has lived in the United States for a long time knows him - after all, they all have a common language.

Qian Shuiting graduated from the university in the imperial capital twenty years ago, and with a cynical sense of social mission after being disillusioned, he started his first job in the agricultural research department of Mén, which had something to do with his major. On weekdays, he came into contact with the upper and lower levels of bureaucrats and all kinds of people in the real society. Although he quickly understood the rules of the game, he was reluctant to join the game, only in Hún. Time and experience gradually wore away his impetuousness and made him gradually realistic. In the end, he chose to escape to another continent. After a few years of work, he came to the place he had dreamed of, but he was no longer as full of jī feelings as before. Everything that happened was so natural, tepid, and unfazed. He meets Abebe, who has just stepped from one school to another. Then it's time to get married, to work, to give birth to their baby.

In the years that followed, the ups and downs of the outside world seemed to have little impact on their lives. It seems that he can go on like this forever. The arrival of the Qian Shui Association made his life more colorful. This xiǎo, his nearly ten-year-old brother, and Qian Shuiting are completely different from their appearance to their xìng grid. The tall and sturdy Qian Shui Association gives people the impression of "Fang". He has an angular countenance, physique, and xìng character. Qian Shuixie took his equally energetic wife to the ground, and lived happily in tossing from the beginning.

Although both husband and wife had gone to college, they did not want to continue their education and were not satisfied with finding a stable job. Qian Shuixie started by driving a broken box truck to decorate around, and later drove a pickup truck to repair water and electricity boiler air conditioners, and Zuihou simply became a big truck driver, driving eighteen rounds of tours on the land of North America, increasingly becoming like an American red neck. And his wife Zheng Shangjie brought her talent for sales and publicity to the United States, and did countless agency jobs, often wearing multiple hats, busy from morning to night all day long.

The common hobby of the Qian brothers is to play with guns. They first talked about guns with people on the Internet, and Zhou Weisen appeared at this time. Take them and start playing with guns for real. Zhou Weisen is slightly older than Qian Shuixie, and he is also a student biographic. He started buying guns and playing with guns when he was a school student in a redneck state, and most of his savings were used to play with guns. Later, I met the Qian brothers at work. Take them to the shooting range, the gun show, and pull them into the water one by one.

Another of their common hobbies is the question of what to do when they hit the wasteland together, pondering how to build their own fortresses, open their own farms, dig deep, and accumulate grain. Gradually transitioned from the gun party to the survival party. Maybe it was because life was too ordinary, but after hearing about the crossing from Zhou Weisen, Qian Shuiting actually became very enthusiastic, persuaded his wife and children, sold his house, and used up his savings to buy a large number of guns, ammunition and various materials and equipment for crossing. Learning to sail a sailboat, Huā rented a 100-ton brig luxury sailing ship to transport munitions.

Perhaps in the first difficult days, the luxurious living conditions of several people were too detached from the public, and when a large number of otaku did not have a sister, this group of people had their own NV dependents, which made everyone feel envious and jealous - especially Zhou Weisen was also very beastly to occupy the eye-catching South American beauty NV.

Although the merits of these men for transporting arms were greatly recognized by the organization and they enjoyed many preferential treatments, their individual skills and experience did not seem to be recognized, and several of them were not given much responsibility, and all of them were sent to do specific jishuxìng work. Qian Shuiting originally wanted to play a role in the investigation and statistics, but he and Zhou Weisen set up nòng test tubes in the biological shiyan room. As for the money and water association, the two of them simply did nothing, and became basic laborers.

In order not to further alienate from everyone, under the persuasion and reminder of Qian Shuiting, several people worked hard silently in their own posts, and the relationship with everyone became more and more harmonious. At the same time, he stepped up contact with the veterans who had a background in American life and expanded his basic jiāo.

The marriage proposal incident of NV servant ** and Dugu aroused Qian Shuiting's inner fear and vigilance against centralization. Before the second plenary meeting, the undercurrents in the city made him worry that the Executive Committee and the Senate would be touted as a "democratic congress and a victorious congress".

He immediately told the people closest to him about his worries and the direction in which the group might evolve. Together, they carefully studied the current systems of the crossing group and went separately to understand the actual implementation of these systems. At the same time, I made a preliminary understanding of the law club that I didn't care about - including before and after this NV servant**, the Qian Shui Association also did a secret investigation.

During the Second General Congress, they had the opportunity to learn more about the attitudes of the traversal and known groups on various issues, and when they were not in session, several people gathered together to stream what they had seen and heard, the corresponding countermeasures, and the reactions that might have been aroused.

They are aware that the Executive Committee still has a high prestige because of the efficiency of its initial work. The bill they wish to limit executive power may be interpreted as dissatisfaction with the specific executors in their current positions, and it is easy to be out of touch with the thinking of the broad masses of people.

In the initial stage, the centralized system will inevitably exert a higher work efficiency, which Qian Shuiting cannot deny. Therefore, an attack on the existing centralized system will only be opposed by the majority of the patriarchs who put pragmatism first - after all, this is the time to settle the problem of what is and what is not, and talking too much about future planning will only be criticized as false and empty.

The vest-led law societies are active in all corners of the conference with the aura of their professional background. Their ideas are unimpeded, and their sophistry is enough to deceive many. Qian Shuiting knew that the law club of Ma Jia, on the surface, sang "governing the country according to law" and constantly criticized the many shortcomings and mistakes of the executive committee in administration, which seemed to be antagonistic, but in fact it was the embodiment of "xiǎo scolding and helping the people".

Qian Shuiting quickly judged that the so-called law society of Ma Jia and the political demands of his own gang were not the same thing. He realized that the Law Society had an advantage when it came to propagating political ideas: most of the elders lacked a deep understanding of the content of the bill, and many people might have been overwhelmed by superficial rhetoric and complex rhetoric without understanding its potential dangers. If they rush to attack these bills now, they will inevitably fail because of the lack of sufficient and broad acceptance. And their demands are likely to be undesirable for those in office, and could lead to a backlash that would leave them isolated. In addition, the group has just experienced a move, and people are determined. Sticking too much to one's own views will inevitably deepen internal divisions and make them intolerable to the majority of centrists, which will backfire.

The issue was discussed over and over again, and it was found that the internal consensus was very consistent, and the dissent with the majority of the time-travelers was equally obvious. After much deliberation and consultation with everyone, several people decided to try to be a parliamentary opposition within the group, and to promote their ideas to the whole group in a gradual manner.
