Chapter 716: Who still has objections

Midtown has developed its own set of rules of the political game over the past few years, and in order for a person to become a consul of Midtown, one must meet the following criteria:

(1) Be a lawful citizen of Midtown and have worked in Midtown for a sufficient amount of time; (2) VIP qualifications, that is, important citizens who have been certified by the authority of Zhongcheng; (3) Have rich experience in public office, good physical and mental condition, and outstanding ability; (4) have made significant contributions to Midtown, and their contributions should be obvious to all; (5) Candidates who have been nominated by more than 10 dignitaries (i.e., those who hold high-ranking public offices) are eligible to run for consulship; (6) The number of votes is led at the election meeting attended by VIPs.

According to this set of rules, Lin Zaishan could not ascend to the sky in one step and become the consul of Midtown overnight; He had to be patient with the process and try to meet the conditions.

At the special meeting held that night, He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun solemnly introduced Lin Zaishan to more than 30 Zhongcheng dignitaries attending the meeting, and identified him as Zhongcheng VIP, listing his major contributions to Zhongcheng.

He Xiaotian said: "As we all know, Huo Qiankun and I are both deputy consuls, and the position of consul in Zhongcheng has been vacant for a long time, which is not conducive to the stability and unity and efficient management of Zhongcheng, so I propose to hold an election of consuls as soon as possible." ”

Huo Qiankun echoed: "I support He Xiaotian's proposal. ”

He and Huo were the actual contenders for the consuls in the eyes of everyone, and the other dignitaries naturally had no objection to the things that they both agreed on. The meeting decided to hold a meeting to elect the consuls in one week.

He Xiaotian continued: "Next, please nominate the candidates for the consul in strict accordance with the prescribed conditions and procedures, and I would like to remind you in particular: Lin Zaishan is also eligible to run for election. ”

Wang Chengba was the first to speak at this moment: "I nominate Lin Zaishan as a candidate for the consul of Midtown. "Wang Chengba has always been known for being a neutral faction or a wall-riding faction, and he survived in the gap between the two major forces of He and Huo, and was always excluded by both sides. If it weren't for the sake of maintaining a political "buffer zone", He and Huo would have kicked him out long ago.

Many dignitaries were both surprised and reasonable by Wang Chengba's performance, and they exchanged heads and whispered with each other.

Chu Yanjiao suddenly got up and said, "I oppose Minister Wang's nomination!" ”

All the dignitaries looked at Chu Yanjiao and Wang Chengba with great interest, ready to watch a good show.

"What are the reasons for your objection?" He Xiaotian was displeased.

"According to Article 3 of the conditions for the election of consuls, candidates must have extensive experience in public office, and Lin Zaisan has no experience in this area."

Many dignitaries nodded their heads in agreement.

Wang Chengba defended: "Lin Zaishan was a famous rescue captain before the end of the world, no one can deny that this is a public office, right?" ”

Chu Yanjiao retorted: "Whether the rescue captain before the end of the world is considered a public office is to be discussed, and what we want to talk about is the qualifications to serve in the middle city of the last days, does Lin Zaishan have it?" As far as I know, he has only been in Midtown for a few days, so how can he possibly have a wealth of experience in public office? ”

Wang Chengba smiled, "Who said that Lin Zaishan didn't hold a public office in Midtown?" He turned on his mobile phone and projected a piece of information on the big screen, "This is a list of department heads announced to the whole city when Zhongcheng was first built, please pay attention to this one: Lin Zaishan, Minister of Search and Rescue!" There is also an official seal below as proof. I didn't fake it, did I? ”

Everyone looked at He Xiaotian. When Zhongcheng was first built, He Xiaotian was in charge, and the appointment of Lin Zaishan was of course his master.

He Xiaotian said: "Yes, what Minister Wang said is true. ”

Chu Yanjiao hesitated for a few seconds, gritted her teeth and then refuted Wang Chengba: "This announcement only proves that Lin Zaishan nominally held a public office in Zhongcheng, but as we all know, in fact, Lin Zaishan has always been absent as a public official. ”

"Just because he's not in Midtown doesn't mean he's absent." Wang Chengba then showed the information, "Lin Zaishan is the leader of the search and rescue team, so he should go out to search and rescue the survivors, if he stays in the office every day like most of us here, how many people can he search and rescue?" This is a list of Zhongcheng residents who were searched and rescued by Lin Zaishan, and more than 4,500 people, including myself, were rescued by Lin Zaishan. Minister Chu, you are in charge of the Ministry of Public Security, I didn't forge this list, right? ”

"Humph! Lin Zaishan searched and rescued these people as the captain of the dreadnought team, what does it have to do with our Midtown? ”

"He's just rescued us from the witch Randa and the slug, and you're saying he has nothing to do with our Midtown? Minister Chu, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Wang Chengba raised his voice abruptly, "If I'm not mistaken, when the witch Landa made a big fuss in the city hall, you were throwing yourself on her and worshiping her, right?" ”

"You...... I wasn't the only one who bowed down to the witch Landa at that time! Chu Yanjiao's voice was high, but her momentum weakened a lot.

Most of the dignitaries at the meeting were red-faced and did not dare to squeak again.

He Xiaotian broke the silence, "Don't keep an eye on the past, focus on the current major events." I confirm: there is no problem with Lin Zaishan's candidacy! Please continue the nomination process below. ”

//////

Beters suddenly raised his hand and said, "I also nominate Lin Zaishan as a candidate for consul." ”

When all the dignitaries heard this, they were taken aback. For a long time, Beters has represented the will of the backstage boss Huo Qiankun, and there are only two reasons why he has expressed his position at the moment: either he fell out with Huo Qiankun, or he was instructed by the latter. It seems that the latter is more likely.

Huo Qiankun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said loudly: "I also nominate Lin Zaishan!" ”

The dignitaries were in an uproar again. The rules do not explicitly restrict those who nominate others from running for election, and many people speculate that Huo Qiankun's move is a kind of political show of "carrying forward his style", and he still wants to run for election.

However, what happened next was even more surprising: He Xiaotian also loudly announced the nomination of Lin Zaishan.

"What the hell is going on?" The two bigwigs were so in unison on the matter of the Archon of Midtown, which they had been competing for a long time, and they were accustomed to seeing the dignitaries of He and Huo fighting for a puzzled and puzzled by the unfamiliar drama that was being staged in the conference room today, and it would be too naïve to say that both He and Huo were "carrying forward their styles".

//////

He Xiaotian looked at the dignitaries who were still "figuring out their intentions", and asked Lin Zaishan: "Captain Lin, how many people are in your dreadnought team now?" ”

"More than 45,000 people."

"What?" The dignitaries were shocked at the same time. What is the concept of 45,000 people? That is a larger scale than all the citizens of Midtown combined, and if these people come together, the appearance of Midtown and the lives of the people of Midtown will be turned upside down, and Lin Zaishan will undoubtedly be dominant.

"You're bragging!" Chu Yanjiao got up abruptly and pointed at Lin Zaishan's nose with her finger.

"I'm going to show you now." Lin Zaishan had already sent the purple electric mist and blue electric mist out before the battle with the witch Landa, so that they stayed on different sections of the road between Midtown and the super battleship, one to provide protection for personnel migration, and the other to assist in communication and communication as a signal relay station. At this moment, the two electric mists are already in place, breaking through the signal barrier of the Zerg, and can communicate with the super battleship.

He hooked up his first mate, Billy, and cast the screen onto the big screen with his ability.

"Boss, how are you doing? What are the commands? Billy was pleasantly surprised.

"Tell me how many people are on the supership now?" Lin speaks fluent English.

"More than 47,000 people. In the past few days, we have searched and rescued another group of survivors. ”

"Very good, you take your mobile phone to all corners of the ship, and by the way, let me know about everyone's current situation."

The frame then begins to move around the supership from Billy's perspective. Everyone in the conference room saw that the deck, in the warehouse, and even in the hallway were densely packed with people, and they were of all skin colors. When they saw Lin Zaishan in Billy's mobile phone, they greeted each other and said hello one after another, all with a respectful attitude.

There was a flash of white light in the picture, and two sixth-level powerhouses, Schwarronsen and Wise Fritsch, appeared at the same time. "Ha, old friend Zalin, you look like you've found Midtown. Are they friendly? Do you want to call us now? ”

"Midtown has been very friendly to me." Lin Zaishan responded with a smile. He then instructed Billy, "I'm in Midtown for a meeting right now, I'll contact you later." You must be on 24-hour alert to watch out for raids by the Star Soul Shepherd, the Fire Stealer, and the Witch Landa. ”

"Understood! Boss, don't worry, we repelled the attack of the fire thieves the day before yesterday, and this morning we repelled the pair of Star Soul Shepherds stationed in Huaxia. ”

"Did they cause casualties?"

"No, none of them have been able to break through the concentric protective net."

//////

Lin Zaishan put away his mobile phone, "Does Minister Chu still think I'm lying?" ”

"This ......" Chu Yanjiao wanted to say that Lin Zaishan must have used his ability to falsify the picture, but she couldn't help but speak.

He Xiaotian then asked, "Captain Lin, the two people who suddenly flashed in the picture just now should be sixth-level star soul powerhouses, right?" How many characters like this do you have? ”

"Let me count, Schwarronson, Fritsch, Li Wenxiu, Wu Chaoqun, Du Ziming, if you count friends but don't consider non-human life, there are at least five or six on the super battleship at the moment."

"What?" Not only the dignitaries, but even He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun were shocked this time. He and Huo only have a total of 2 sixth-level star souls, while Lin Zaishan has five or six, and this difference in strength is already very obvious.

"Impossible!" Chu Yanjiao once again publicly questioned.

"Why can't it be? This kind of thing is easy to expose if you lie. "Indeed, pretending to be a sixth-level Star Soul powerhouse won't work at all, and other sixth-level powerhouses will know it just by looking at it.

"Because if you really have so many sixth-level powerhouses under your command, you can completely use your strength to fight in Midtown and seize control, so why do you need to be pretentious and nominating here?"

"Do you think the strong are as violent as you?" He Xiaotian rushed in front of Lin Zaishan to respond for him, "If Captain Lin was really like what you said, you would have died hundreds of times by now." ”

"I ...... I was wrong. Chu Yanjiao suddenly realized at this moment that the reason why He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun supported Lin Zaishan at the same time was mostly not to "carry forward the style", make a show, or play political games, but out of the need for survival. They probably knew Lin Zaishan's super strength in advance, and after repeatedly weighing and confirming that their side was not only unable to compete with him, but even might be eliminated, they decided to support him; And he even stupidly thought that he was defending He Xiaotian and being his pawn. Just offending He Xiaotian was enough to put himself to death, not to mention offending Lin Zaishan, who even He Xiaotian had to succumb.

Chu Yanjiao's impression of Lin Zaishan has always stayed in the period of the new provincial capital, although his strength was extraordinary at that time, he was essentially a piece of the street, and he was restrained and demanded from her in many aspects. The Lin Zaishan in front of her has undergone major changes, what the change is Chu Yanjiao can't say, but it is definitely a change beyond her imagination. Lin Zaishan is different from all the strong people she has encountered, other strong people will involuntarily show their strength to others while becoming stronger, and the horror of these people can be felt from afar; And Lin Zaishan seems to prefer to make others forget his strength, he is so strong that he can kill you, but he never exercises this ability easily, and even makes you mistakenly think that you are stronger than him.

Chu Yanjiao's heartbeat and breathing suddenly became violent, and the fear in her heart soared rapidly, especially when she heard a conversation between Huo Qiankun and Lin Zaishan, which almost made her collapse on the spot:

Huo Qiankun asked, "Captain Lin, do you know any seventh-level Star Soul powerhouses?" "For the people of Midtown, the seventh-level Star Soul powerhouse is basically a myth and legend, if it weren't for the appearance of the Fire Thief a few days ago, they still don't believe in this incomparably powerful existence, let alone know them.

"Except for the Fire Thief and the Star Soul Shepherd, there is only the Master of Empty Color, but he was not promoted in our plane."

"And how far are you from being promoted to level seven?"

"It should be soon." Lin Zaishan's face was calm, as if he was chattering. If he said this as Robin, everyone would think that he was brainless, but no one who had seen his performance today dared to doubt it.

"How long will it take?"

Lin Zaishan sighed, "My path to promotion is not smooth, and there are too many chores to concentrate on upgrading." I guess it's going to take at least 1 week. "He is following the path of evolution of a Star Soul Coder, which is much more difficult than that of ordinary Star Soul Coders. The frequent adventures in recent years have made him deeply understand the pain of being suppressed by people at the Star Soul level, and his desire to be promoted to the seventh level is naturally extremely strong. In his opinion, being able to advance to level 7 in the next 1 week was already slow compared to the external challenges.

"Huh?" At the same time, the participants were amazed that the venue was as noisy as a fried pan for a short time, but soon it automatically quieted down without He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun. No one in Zhongcheng dared to be presumptuous in front of a sixth-level star soul powerhouse, let alone a quasi-seventh-level powerhouse.

"In other words, in 1 week, Captain Lin, you will become our Midtown, and you may even be the first seventh-level star soul powerhouse of the human race on earth?" Huo Qiankun's body and tone were obviously trembling because of excitement.

"To say first, I can't help but be a little arrogant; But moving up to level seven isn't a big problem, in fact, if I don't care about quality, I can do it now. Lin Zaishan sat quietly in the middle position, with his two hands on the table, looking like a department clerk, who would have thought that he was a quasi-seventh-level star soul powerhouse.

He Xiaotian suddenly raised his voice, "Everyone: We have decided to nominate Mr. Lin Zaishan as the only candidate for the Archon of Midtown, who still has any objections?" ”

There was silence in the venue. Even a pig understands the situation and knows how to make a choice.

Lin Zaishan suddenly smiled: "I'm just curious, I want to ask: Can I have any objections to myself?" ”

Wang Chengba hurriedly replied: "No." ”

"Understood." Lin Zaishan smiled, and everyone laughed.
