In the 50-square-meter conference room, there are 20 people sitting upright, and on the large square table in front of them, there is a blue folder with the national emblem printed on it, and next to the folder, there is a large porcelain teacup filled with water. The window on the east side of the room was open three times, so that the wind from the deep mountains tore the pale yellow embroidered tablecloth of the square table with impunity.

The quartz clock on the clock tower at the base of "Dong", which was at least forty years old, struck half past nine. The small door of the conference room opened on time, and Mr. Jia and Secretary Liu walked out of it one after another.

"You've been waiting for a long time." Mr. Jia sat down on the chair at the front of the square table, facing everyone, while Secretary Liu sat on the chair behind Mr. Jia on the shelf.

"I called you here today, firstly, to let everyone have a clear understanding of this base, and secondly, to discuss and decide some major matters. All of you are the leaders of various departments, and if you have any needs, suggestions, and difficulties, you will put them forward at this meeting, and everyone will find a way to solve them together. Secretary Liu, let's get started. ”

"Yes." Secretary Liu stood up, took out a blue folder from his handbag, and held it in his hand, "First read Director Xu's order." Due to the rampant disease, our bureau actively responded to the call of the document of the General Political Yuan, adhered to the spirit of the document, and specially re-established the Chixinan Commissioner's Office, which has jurisdiction over all the personnel of the Haoshan base, and all the staff of the Lianghe, Lanwen, Bayan, Jianling, and Kunlun investigation offices, as well as a part of the epidemic prevention department of the headquarters. Director Jia Zhong is the commissioner of the Commissioner's Office. He is fully responsible for the work of Haoshan Base and Wudao Investigation Office. ”

After a two-minute pause, the conference moved on to the next item on the agenda. Secretary Liu motioned for everyone to turn the pages of the document, although this meeting also tried to reduce the number of agendas at the request of Mr. Jia, but it still lasted about half an hour before entering the discussion session, followed by the discussion session, is the speech session, not surprisingly, the caliber of the top leaders of each department is very unified - lack of personnel, lack of funds, lack of equipment.

"Now for the fourth item of the meeting, I would like to invite Commissioner Jia Zhongquan to make a concluding statement."

"You must all have some idea of the current situation, right?" Jia Zhongquan sat up straight, stretched out his right hand and clicked on the folder, "We must be prepared for a protracted battle, although we will never believe Professor Gao's talkative remarks, but we must also face up to the possibility he raised." ”

Jia Zhongquan stood up, turned around, stretched out his entire palm, pointed to the two flags hanging on the wall, and said, "Some Westerners say that we are a people without faith. Whether they are correct or not, I do not comment. But with regard to faith, I would like to repeat here that faith is the lamp when you are lost; When you are helpless, faith is your strong arm. Therefore, we must unite under a concrete being, believe in it, love it, and protect it. This existence is these two flags. Only they can unite us, so we must oppose the nonsense of the Anarchists. ”

"Please." Jia Zhongquan nodded and motioned for the man who raised his hand to speak.

Wei Yilin turned his head and saw that it was Director Huang of the Ideological and Political Department. This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a bald head like an egg, a forehead with ravines and ravines, a wind-beaten face supporting his forehead, and a pair of silver-framed glasses with a high prescription on his large and long nose.

Director Huang stood up: "Commissioner." To be honest, all of us here agree with your words, but the difficulty is that our subordinates have done a questionnaire survey in the past few days. He very tactfully omitted the second half of the sentence and replaced it with a slight frown.

Jia Zhongquan waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, then he turned his back, put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and looked at the portrait between the two flags: "Director Huang, we can't force them to love something. After all, the years they grew up are an eternal pain in our hearts. ”

Everyone gasped, especially Wei Yilin, who was very worried about the teacher's over-the-top words.

"Tell them a word, the country will not be a country, how can it be home?" Jia Zhongquan turned around, after all, he has been an old lover for many years, and when he digs out his heart, he can actually do it without changing his face, as if he is a bystander.

"Tell them, remember this sentence, don't ask, do it first. When they are as old as us, we will look back on whether this sentence is true or not. ”

"Yes." Director Huang answered, and the pen in his hand "rustled" on the notebook.

"Don't treat them as subordinates. Treat them like children. Jia Zhongquan walked down the aisle behind the crowd, "especially the children of the action team and the traffic corps." Talk to them more, and when the negotiation is smooth, they will be willing to give you their lives, aren't they? ”

"Yes!" Wei Yilin, who was "thinking wildly", hurriedly responded, "Yes." There were four people who spoke out at the time.

"That's all for today, stay with people who haven't talked to me alone, and the others will go back first." Jia Zhongquan sat back in his chair and waved his hand.

"Agenda Item 5: End of the meeting, adjournment." Secretary Liu announced in a routine tone.

Eighteen people left the room, and there were only four people left in the room, Mr. Jia, Secretary Liu, Wei Yilin, and another student.

"Shimon, huh?" Mr. Jia did not greet Wei Yilin first, but said to the middle-aged man sitting on the third chair on the right, although this person had tattoos at the corners of his eyes and a white beard on his chin, he could still see that he was a handsome and beautiful man when he was young.

Wei Yilin flipped through his mind, but he couldn't find even a single piece of information about this person named "Shimeng". So he had to use the most old-fashioned method - observation, to paint a portrait of this person. This man is very sturdy, his eyes are bright, he should be a practitioner, when the meeting is held, he sits in the third place on the right side of the conference table, according to the tradition of "respecting the right in military affairs", it can be inferred that he is a field officer, and his status is two places higher than himself.

"Subordinate Liu Shimeng, I have seen the commissioner."

"You two go outside and wait for a while, and I'll talk to Shimon alone."

"Yes." Secretary Liu answered with Wei Yilin, who had just been interrupted, got up from his seat, and exited the door.

"Captain Wei, please." After closing the door, Secretary Liu pointed his palm to a row of chairs at the door of the conference room, which were obviously for the waiting people to rest.

"Please."

"Captain Wei has worked hard, and he just came back to have a meeting again." Secretary Liu smiled and sat on the chair next to Wei Yilin.

"I didn't even have time to eat." Wei Yilin took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from his pocket, "Here, old Qianmen, it's easy to find it for you in Yangchuan." ”

"Oh, thanks to Captain Wei's love, I said it casually, you are really relieved." Secretary Liu arched his hand, then took the cigarette with a smile, put it under his nose and smoked, his face was very enjoyable, "I haven't smelled this familiar smell for a long time." ”

"Teacher, have you been bothered lately?"

Secretary Liu smiled slightly, and quietly glanced at the closed door of the conference room: "I have to go, this base has only been handed over to us for less than a week, and many things are incomplete, and Mr. Jia needs to coordinate it." ”

"Hey, we don't even have architectural drawings, let alone the terrain within a radius of ten miles."

Wei Yilin smiled slightly and nodded, but his expression was very casual, as if he was chatting with others.

The door of the office opened at this time, and Liu Shimeng walked out of the door with the folder in his hand, his face was a little gloomy, his brows were slightly puffed up, and his steps were also very heavy. Wei Yilin glanced at Secretary Liu and walked into the conference room. At this time, Jia Zhongquan was standing behind his chair, his eyes fixed on the newly customized map that had not yet found a place to hang.

"Teacher."

"Yilin, come." Jia Zhongquan called Wei Yilin over, he pointed to the map and said, "You are the only one of those people who has been to Huanzhou, what do you think are the doubts about this epidemic?" ”

"Teacher, the process of the out-of-control epidemic in Huanzhou is really a bit strange. The outbreak in Huanzhou broke out suddenly within five to eight days, and the scale of the epidemic has been small before, very similar to the current Yangchuan, Funing, and Sining. Wei Yilin took off his white gloves and took out a photo from his pocket, "This is the photo we captured in Huanzhou, and the person on it is called Kanza." ”

"Kanza." Jia Zhong took the photo expressionlessly, looked at it, and returned it to Wei Yilin, "Who is it?" ”

"Chaisa's son."

"Oh." It was only at this time that Jia Zhongquan finally had an impression of Kanzha in his mind, "It's him." ”

"Teacher, back then, we didn't do it clean."

"Don't blame yourself." Jia Zhongquan raised his palms, "It is said that the grass is cut and the roots are removed, but how can this root be removed." Killed Kanza, and others. ”

"Yes."

"This is a suspicious point, and the scope of involvement is too wide, I will report it, what else?"

"A group of mysterious men in camouflage uniforms." Wei Yilin added, "They have guns, they are well trained, and they speak a very strange language, I wonder if it has something to do with Kanza." ”

"Quite possibly. I'll remind them to pay attention. Jia Zhongquan nodded, "What else?" ”

"Blood worship."

Jia Zhongquan's eyes lit up, turned around slightly, looked at Wei Yilin and said, "Go on." ”

"The hospital in Yangchuan has already been overflowing, and even the emergency department has to make an appointment online, and there are nearly 1,000 people outside the Yangchuan Fourth Hospital. If at this time, the people of the Blood Worship Society hype it up again, then it is indeed possible to achieve the effect of a week's fall. ”

"Indeed, the doctrine of the Blood Worship Society is, in the final analysis, four words: 'do whatever you want'!" Mr. Jia lowered his right palm, which stretched out four fingers, and "encouraged people to indulge the evil in their hearts and give priority to satisfying their own desires." ”

Wei Yilin nodded, indicating that he also meant that.

"What about the little girl who went with you? Did she waver? ”

A thunderbolt exploded above Wei Yilin's head, Mr. Jia's sudden move made him very puzzled, what was the purpose of the teacher's question? So he prevaricated: "She is as loyal to the General Administration as ever." ”

"Not bad." Jia Zhongquan nodded, as if what he said just now was just a casual question from him, "Song Jasmine's nonsense, I listened to it, if I were thirty years younger, I would also be moved." ”

Thirty years younger? Isn't that the age of your early twenties?

"Teacher, I have observed her for four days, and she has not shown the slightest sign of changing her mind."

"I'm talking about me, you kid." Jia Zhong smiled gloomily in his heart: Boy, show the fox's tail, right?

Wei Yilin smiled embarrassedly.

"In the past few days, the General Affairs Office has drawn up a summary list of the things to be purchased." Jia Zhongquan turned around, motioned to sit down, and said, "It involves firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, guns, bullets, gasoline, generators, screws, looms, and a lot of other things. ”

"Is this going to be a protracted war?" Although the remarks outside have long been crazy, Wei Yilin still doesn't want to believe it.

"Worst-case scenario." Jia Zhongquan laughed, "But I can't see it enough, what do you think is missing?" ”

Wei Yilin frowned, his eyes moved up slightly, looking at the snow-white ceiling, and after a while, he said in a less confident tone: "This is buying after all, not making, we need machines and workers." ”

How do you know, Jia Zhongquan still shook his head: "If the whole territory really falls, it won't be long before we will return to the era of cutting bamboo into guns, without industrial fuel, machines or something is just a pile of scrap iron." The research and development of antibodies requires a lot of fuel. ”

Wei Yilin nodded vigorously, he really didn't consider this problem.

"The other day, our brothers within the military reported that the military had sent ships to the location of every rig in Wanli Shitang. In the vicinity of the oil wells on Weilong Road, there are also many military scouts, what does the military want to do? ”

"We exist because the civilian officials need us as 'swords' to cooperate with their carrots to counterbalance the military beast."

"Teacher, isn't this a bit too much?"

"What do you call it? We are now discussing the most extreme scenario, if the whole country becomes like the state, the military beast will have to be released from the cage. Once it is released, it will control everything it can control, industrial raw materials, munitions, etc., we don't even think about it, and then we can only be trapped in this deep mountain and huge valley. Have you thought about this? ”

"Teacher, are you planning to negotiate with the military at that time?"

Jia Zhongquan nodded, revealing a look of hatred for iron and steel: "I am your commander, so I have to do my best to ensure that you can live!" ”

"I estimate that even in the most extreme cases, the military will be able to maintain at least half a million ground troops, which is enough for them to control Duyu Road, the land of fish and rice, and use its advanced scientific research institutions, convenient transportation conditions, and possible assistance to develop antibodies. And Duyu was Noah's Ark at that time! ”

Ark! The last hope of mankind in the Bible. But is the current situation really that serious?
