Chapter 283: Proxy and Boiling
Appoint the chairman of the War Department?
Although he had expected it before the opening of the torture battle, Chen Chong was still a little surprised in his heart, and said a little incredible:
"The leader wants me to take Chang Mingxuan's place?"
Frankly speaking, with his current strength compared to the second order, it was enough to sit in this position, but he had only been in the Silver Ring Refuge Area for less than three months, and his qualifications were too short, and he didn't even have enough understanding of the operation mode of the refuge area, so he didn't expect that the criminal war would have such a plan at all.
As if he saw what Chen Chong was thinking, Xing Zhan said lightly:
"The most important prerequisite for the appointment of the War Department is to reach the level of the controller. You've got a record of killing an oracle, and you're perfectly satisfied. As for seniority, with great ability comes great responsibility, and those with outstanding talent will always get preferential treatment, and this can be regarded as a test for you. Well, are you willing to take on this burden?"
After listening to the words of the torture battle, Chen Chong's eyes flashed, and he quickly thought about it.
Needless to say, the benefits of becoming the chairman of the War Department represent that he will have higher rights, status, and a more generous allocation of cultivation resources, and of course, it also represents constraints and burdens.
For him, it's all about time and energy. After all, he was now spending more than half of his time 24 hours a day in various cultivations, and the only thing he was worried about was whether all kinds of complicated affairs would affect his cultivation progress if he became the chairman of the War Department.
After thinking about it, Chen Chong said in a righteous manner: "Thanks to the love of the leader, I am really flattered. It is my duty to be able to guard the refuge area, but ......"
Xing Zhan raised his eyebrows: "But what?"
Chen Chong scratched his head: "I'm a rough person myself, it may be okay for me to cultivate, fight, kill and kill, but I may not be so good at handling official business, ...... in this regard."
"Hahaha, you're worried about this?"
Xing Zhan laughed and waved his hand:
"Don't worry, this was taken into account at the beginning of the establishment of the War Department. In fact, most of the day-to-day affairs are handled by the committee members below, and with the exception of some major matters, the chairman of the committee does not need to worry too much every day, and has sufficient time to practice! Otherwise, they will work hard all day and night, delaying their life and cultivation, how can they be willing to do it?"
I see.
When the words came to this, Chen Chong no longer hesitated, and immediately bowed down and said solemnly:
"It's my blessing to be favored by the leader, since you have entrusted me with important tasks in an eclectic way, I should naturally contribute my meager efforts to guard the war department and guard the refuge area!"
For Chen Chong, taking up the post of chairman of the War Department is also definitely more beneficial than disadvantageous, and with this important identity, he is equivalent to truly ranking among the high-level of the refuge area.
Of course, this heavy identity is also a kind of constraint to some extent, making his every move more noticeable. However, it is natural for a strong person to be in a high position, and Chen Chong does not have any stupid idea of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
"Good!"
Xing Zhan also seemed to be in a happy mood, he patted Chen Chong's shoulder and sighed:
"Originally, it was my plan to promote you to the chairman of the War Department. However, at that time, considering that you were a newcomer, you needed to test your character and morality, boil up your qualifications, and slowly be promoted. However, now Chang Mingxuan has defected, and the high-end combat power of the War Department is missing another piece, so this step has to be advanced. ”
Of course, the reason why Chen Chong is so interested in it is that the foundation of everything is naturally based on his exaggerated natural ability. Just looking at Chen Chong's incredible progress speed in just one or two months after he came to the Yinhuan Refuge Area to develop his ability, even the genius Duanmu Qingxuan, who had defected, was inferior, such a talent with an infinite future, the criminal war naturally wanted to firmly tie the hearts of the people.
Thinking of this, Xing Zhan continued:
"Regarding your appointment, I will discuss with the rest of the committee chairmen at the collective meeting of the War Department, and you will temporarily take over Chang Mingxuan's vacancy as acting chairman. The two old fellows of the Ministry of Administration and the Ministry of Health should also know, but the head of the Ministry of Administration has not yet returned to the Northern Theater, and they should also come back in the next few days, and when the time comes, I will officially inform them at the joint meeting of the three ministries and recognize you. ”
Chen Chong was stunned: "The head of the political department is in the northern theater?"
Xing Zhan nodded and said slowly: "The head of the Ministry of Political Affairs, Si Xiu, he has been in the Northern Theater for some time, and you shouldn't have seen it yet." In addition to talking about some cooperation in technology exchange, he went to the Northern Theater to solve the cancer of the Cult of Almighty God. ”
"In the past few years, this group of cultists has become more and more unscrupulous, and the threat to the refuge area has also become more and more great, and I am afraid that there will be big problems in the long run. However, although the development of the Almighty God Cult is not as good as that of the refuge zone, the combat power of high-end new humans is not necessarily weak, and it still has to rely on the strength of the northern theater to solve this scourge. However, judging from the news that came back some time ago, it seems that it is not ideal"
Chen Chong's eyebrows moved: "The existence of the Almighty God Cult should be known in the Northern Theater, right? It stands to reason that the predecessor of the Northern Theater is the army, and with its size, powerful new human beings should emerge in an endless stream, so it is not difficult to solve a small Almighty God Cult, right?"
encountered Lu Qingyi and his group, and the map he obtained also marked the location of the Almighty God Cult, indicating that the war zone obviously knew the existence of the Almighty God Cult; on the other hand, there was a fourth-order human war god in the war zone, according to Xing Lei's description, the new human race at this level had reached the boundary of one person forming an army and destroying the city and destroying the country, and it should not be difficult to solve a Almighty God Cult.
Xing Zhan shook his head:
"It's not that simple. As far as I know, for some reason, the existential threat faced by the Northern Theater is much greater than that of the Vault Zone, and they have rarely interfered in the affairs of other gathering places, and on the other hand, I suspect that the Cult of Almighty God seems to be connected to some big figure in the theater, so all the information we submitted about the Cult of Almighty God in the previous few times has been lost in the sea and has not caused any movement. Therefore, it is far from easy to solve this cancer. ”
Does the Cult of Almighty God still have this kind of ability?
"Chief, there is something I don't understand. ”
As soon as his thoughts turned, Chen Chong frowned:
"What is the relationship between the Northern Theater and the other gathering places scattered in the wilderness?"
After returning to his desk, he sat down:
"You should know that before the catastrophe, this belonged to the northeast of the country, and after the catastrophe, the large and small survivor gathering places here were at least ten figures, and the most powerful of them was undoubtedly the northern theater. To use an analogy, other settlements can only be counted as its vassals. However, due to the dangerous nature of the wilderness and the limitation of manpower, such a thing as population migration cannot be carried out, and the Northern Theater does not have enough energy to manage our vassals, but it allows us to send talents to study and further education, and at the same time, it will also trade some advanced technology and cultivation materials to help us develop and rebuild. ”
"Although the Northern Theater has more or less taken advantage of it, its courage and open-mindedness are also undoubted, and they have also thrown olive branches to me many times, but I have refused. ”
Chen Chong asked, "Why did the leader refuse?"
"The Silver Ring Refuge Area was created by me, Si Xiu, and Xiong Kun from scratch, and I poured too much effort and emotion into it. This is my home. ”
I don't know what came to mind, the depths of Xing Zhan's eyes revealed a trace of vicissitudes and remembrance, and he looked at Chen Chong:
"In the past few years, the changes in the world have become more and more obvious, in addition to the civilization is being rebuilt and restored, the number of new humans is increasing, the original awakened people who are not one in a hundred have sprung up, and the number of genetically locked strong people is also rising in a straight line.
Chen Chong, you are the most talented talent that has appeared in the refuge area in recent years, I am very optimistic about you, and I also believe that as long as you are given enough time, it will not be difficult to surpass me, but the growth of strength can easily bring about the loss of control of the mind, and the loss of control of the mind may make a humble and polite person turn into a beast with annihilated human nature, I have seen too many examples of this in this world, I definitely don't want the person I spent a lot of effort to cultivate is the same kind of person as Duanmu Qingxuan, do you understand what I mean?"
said the last few words, the face of the criminal battle was majestic and solemn, while Chen Chong looked up at the other party directly, and said loudly:
"Boss, I may not be a good person, but one of the principles I uphold is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"
"I'm glad you didn't lie and prevaricate. ”
Looking at Chen Chong's undisguised expression, Xing Zhan showed a look of appreciation:
"In this world, it is difficult for a good person to live for a long time, and I don't need such waste and soft eggs at all, killing decisively when necessary is the premise for a strong person to grow up, and your words are enough!"
......
Just after the interview between Chen Chong and Xing Zhan, the news that Chen Chong was going to temporarily replace Chang Mingxuan was the first to detonate at the high-level meeting of the War Department.
Except for Qiu Mengyue, who had known the situation for a long time, Wu Zheng and Wu Yunlong, who were also the chairmen of the committee, were extremely shocked after learning about Chen Chong's achievements, if it weren't for the prestige of Xing Zhan, they almost thought that Xing Zhan was joking with them.
Especially Wu Yunlong, who had been pondering the corner of Qiu Mengyue, was almost out of shape.
A kid who only joined the refuge area two or three months ago, and was only an extraordinary person, had progressed to such a level in a short period of time, and even the position of Chang Mingxuan, the temporary representative of the carp leaping into the dragon gate, was simply unbelievable to them!
Immediately, for the arrangement of the criminal battle, except for Qiu Mengyue, Wu Zheng and Wu Yunlong all vaguely and euphemistically expressed doubts about Chen Chong's qualifications, and even suspected that Chen Chong's rapid cultivation progress was suspected of being a human demon.
However, Xing Zhan's attitude was quite decisive, he personally endorsed to prove that Chen Chong was not a human demon, and revealed Chen Chong's strong ability to absorb electricity to cultivate, dispelling the doubts of the two in this regard.
Coupled with the record of killing a divine envoy in front of them, in the end, Wu Zheng and Wu Yunlong passively accepted this fact.
On the same day, after the news was announced from top to bottom, an even greater shock directly swept through the War Department, and almost all the War Department members who had just heard the news were dizzy for a moment.
Chang Mingxuan colluded with the Almighty God Cult and has defected?
Chen Chong temporarily took over the chairmanship?
What is this?
Chang Mingxuan, as the chairman of the War Department, has a high and powerful position, how could he defect?
This is everyone's first question after the disbelief.
The second question is: How could Chen Chong be the temporary chairman of the NPC Standing Committee?
The name of the chairman of the committee is naturally thunderous all the members of the war department, they know that it is a position that only second-order controllers are qualified to hold, and there are nearly 1,000 combatants in the entire war department, and including Chang Mingxuan, who has defected, there are only five chairman of the committee!
Although Chen Chong was well-known in the War Department before, and most people had heard of it, it was difficult to understand how the War Department could make such an outrageous arrangement. It's like a team leader in a company who has taken a few big steps and been promoted to vice president.
After the news came out, for a while, a huge war department was like boiling water, completely boiling.
