In the next six months, the preparatory committee reviewed and accepted new members at a rate of one batch per month, and the structure of each department has also taken shape. Under the great success of the form, the first plenary meeting of the crossing group was secretly held in Guangzhou in early December.

Of course, it is said that it is all of them, but in fact, there are still a considerable number of members who cannot be present and can only participate in it by accessing the guò network to watch the live video. But it's democratic enough, and at least every member doesn't have to worry about being "represented" because of their absence.

There were a total of 376 members attending the meeting, and they were basically all people who had already decided to participate in the final crossing after repeated reviews by the preparatory committee. Many of them are activists who are "reliable in politics and rush to the forefront in action", and they have long ago smashed pots and sold iron to scatter their family wealth, and directly moved to Guangzhou to devote themselves to the great plan of crossing.

The main content of the meeting is to pass on a few important topics, and the method of unanimity is adopted, and all members who have reached the age of 18 have one vote, and more than two-thirds of the people are in favor of it, and vice versa. Menghe also set up an online remote voting section on the forum, so that members who can only watch the live broadcast at home can also participate in the voting session in real time.

The first big issue is the organizational structure of the traversal group. In the near future, this matter will determine the power ownership and administrative structure of the Crossing Group, and in the long run, it will affect the distribution of interests in another time and space in the future, and even the establishment of political power in the long term, which is definitely a first-class event for all members. According to the arrangement of the Preparatory Committee, this topic has been put on the forum for discussion by members as early as two months ago, and then after three votes, the vast majority of unreliable or few people have been eliminated, and there are still three organizational structures left for members to choose for the final vote at this meeting.

It is extremely difficult for hundreds of people to get together to do things, and it is extremely difficult to unify their thoughts, and the members who participate in this program generally have a moderate or higher education level, each with their own ideas and intentions, and it is not easy to brainwash so many people on a large scale. Rather than trying to unify the ideas of the left, the center and the right without thanklessness, it is better to first bring everyone under the same administrative framework, first use the political system to ensure that everyone can play their role in the collective, and then slowly unify the thinking and understanding in the gradual expansion after the crossing, which is what the Preparatory Committee wants to achieve.

The answer to the three options was immediately available after a round of voting. The right-leaning senate aristocratic parliament and the left-leaning direct democracy, which advocated the participation of the whole people in decision-making, were defeated, and eventually adopted a representative form of indirect democracy, in which members elected representatives to form representative bodies to exercise collective power. Of course, given the current size of the team and cultural background, it seems that it is not appropriate to call this authority either a parliament or a people's congress, and after a short debate and a new round of voting, the name was finally decided to pass through the group's Supreme Executive Committee, or Executive Committee for short. For a long time to come, the Executive Committee will remain as the supreme authority of the Crossing Masses until the time is ripe for the Crossing Masses to establish their own government.

The members of the Executive Committee are elected by a general vote of all members and are eligible for re-election for a term of four years, but in view of the current special circumstances, the first election will not be held until one year after the crossing, and the current Interim Executive Committee will be automatically promoted by the members of the current Preparatory Committee. Regarding the selection of the Executive Committee, there was also a special motion proposed by Bai Kesi, and in view of Tao Donglai's special contribution to the Crossing Project, he would be honored as a lifetime member of the Executive Committee, although this qualification was not hereditary or transferable, and there was no such thing as a veto.

The second topic that is also closely related to each member is the distribution of benefits in the new time and space through the future. First of all, each member of the crossing regardless of gender, age or age, will automatically get 10,000 shares of the original shares as dividend capital, whether it is Tao Donglai, who has contributed the most money, or children who have not paid at all, this dividend share cannot be sold or transferred, can be legally inherited, but it is not linked to voting rights, it is still an adult one person, one vote. In addition to the annual share dividends, the income of members will mainly come from job salaries, bonuses and post allowances. Of course, the specific income arrangement still needs to be decided after the heads of various departments consult with Schneider, who is in charge of the economy, and others.

The establishment of the shares makes the management system of the entire group closer to that of a joint-stock enterprise, so that the preparatory groups for industry, agriculture, construction, military and police, internal affairs, commerce, and logistics under the executive committee look more like different functional departments in the same company, and the executive committee becomes the executive board of the entire company. Of course, the more important point of this system is to allow the time-travelers to gain economic equality in the new time and space, so that at least in the early days, there will not be too many complaints about the excessive income difference, and the members can have greater expectations for the future development of the group.

After the two main topics, the Executive Committee announced the next plan. According to the plans submitted by various departments, there are a number of training programs that need to be cross-planned in the short remaining time, and the complicated deployment of human resources will become the first difficult task that the temporary members of the Executive Committee will face after taking office.

The large-scale popularization training mainly includes the following items: the Ministry of Construction's training on construction site construction and felling; the military and police department's training on military skills and wilderness survival skills; the department's training on crew technical positions and basic navigation skills; the first aid skills training of the medical department; the grain farming training of the Ministry of Agriculture, and so on. In addition, there are a number of small-scale training programs, such as administrative training for managers of various departments, historical knowledge training for diplomatic and commercial departments, and so on. Many of these training contents have been carried out in phases and batches, but due to the shortage of manpower, often the same person has to participate in several training courses, and during this period, they also have to participate in the normal material preparation, which inevitably attracts some complaints.

In addition, the Executive Committee published to all members a list of items to be carried by individuals during the crossing operation, mainly daily necessities and outdoor items, and the permitted weight of each person is 100 kilograms, taking into account the physiological needs of women, women can increase this weight by 20 kilograms. This standard immediately attracted strong opposition from a small number of female members, not to mention the weight of the old lady's clothes, just cosmetics and shoes are almost up to the ceiling, right?

After a heated debate, the General Assembly had to put forward a temporary special bill for consideration, and finally increased the weight limit of the person's belongings by 100 kilograms, and the women's standard was to add 40 kilograms to 200 kilograms, and the dispute was finally settled.

After such a dispute, everyone found that the current ratio of men to women is still strictly out of balance, and there are only 57 women out of 376, of whom 23 are unmarried, and three of them are minors who have joined their parents in the great cause of travel. And the number of unmarried members among the male members is as high as more than 200, which means that the ratio of unmarried men and women is more than ten to one!

In the face of the excited bachelors, the members of the mouth cannon committee had no choice but to take out the original rhetoric again to comfort everyone, and ensure that after gaining a foothold in the new time and space, the focus of foreign trade is to introduce marriageable women. Of course, for the special request of some people to experience the cultivation of Lori, the executive committee can only vaguely say in front of many female members that it will consider it according to the actual situation. You must know that although there are not many female members now, the members who are full of feminist consciousness have set up the banner of the Women's Federation within the team, and the old fritters of the executive committee do not want to offend them for some guys with excess hormones.

After finally settling the complaining members, the Executive Committee hurried into the next link and reported on the progress of the preparatory work. This is probably the proudest work of the Executive Committee so far, and all the preparatory work has been carried out relatively smoothly with the guarantee of sufficient funds.

Under the auspices of Sun Changmi and Yue Zhiyun, the shipping department has ordered a 7,500-ton ro-ro ship from the second-hand ship market, with a cargo capacity of more than 6,000 tons, with side loading and unloading gangways on the hull, and two booms on board, with a certain self-unloading capacity. After a certain scale of renovation and maintenance, the large ship with a purchase price of 15 million yuan will be used as the main ship for the transportation of materials through the group. Of course, the materials consumed by such a large ship in its usual maintenance and use are also very objective, so after this ship docks in Yulin Port, I am afraid it will be difficult to have another chance to move its nest, and it is more likely to be used as a fixed defense facility by the sea. However, despite the dark future of the main ship, the Executive Committee named it the "New World", which is also the most expensive single item in the entire preparatory plan, and it has been suggested that the ship will be converted into a museum of history in the future when the time comes.

In view of the lack of professional manpower, the Ministry of Shipping purchased an additional 2,000-horsepower tugboat and four 1,000-ton non-powered offshore deck barges, as well as a decommissioned landing craft that the Ministry of Shipping had specifically mentioned, plus four 100-ton iron-hulled fishing vessels, to form the rest of the fleet.

The Ministry of Industry's order list is mostly complete, but some customized equipment and machinery will have to wait a while to pick up the goods from the manufacturer. The Ministry of Agriculture, on the other hand, had to wait until the crossing before it could be transplanted onto ships, as was the case with poultry and livestock. Mr. Yuan Ruoxiu had rented a small farm in Yingzhou, east of Sanya, to temporarily house these agricultural materials that could not be put on the ship too long in advance, and then loaded them on the ship when the barge fleet purchased from Zhanjiang was heading south along the east coast of the South Island, heading straight for Yulin Port.

As for the military procurement, which is a key project for material preparation, the North American rudder in charge sent a progress report. Up to now, in accordance with the requirements of the Military Police Department of the Executive Committee, the North American side has purchased a total of 300 Type 56 semi-automatic units for foreign trade exports, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and a large number of various military supplies that cannot be purchased in China. For safety reasons, these guns will normally be issued with only one magazine and will be managed in a unified manner, and the Executive Committee does not plan to issue pistols to all employees. The consequences of the guns that will be brought about by the nation's guns have been vividly demonstrated to the world many times over the years. In the Council's vision, only personnel who go out on duty in dangerous areas will be issued with self-defense weapons such as pistols.

The Military Police Department's original procurement plan needed to be slightly adjusted, because Schneider recently introduced the Military Police Department to a customer he used to have in Europe, which is said to have access to military versions of firearms such as the FNSCAR and HK416, and even some heavy weapons. The person in charge of the North American rudder could not resist such a **, and had already flown to Eastern Europe to make direct contact with the other party, and it is estimated that there will be results in a week. The weapons, ammunition, and military supplies that have already been purchased will be transported by a well-connected professional smuggling company from the West Coast of the United States across the Pacific Ocean to the Hong Kong transit terminal, and then immediately transferred to the "New World," which is already docked here.
