Real knives and real guns, heads on the ground, this is a war that can be seen with the naked eye, and those invisible gunpowder smoke are often the most choking.

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Fuyue Province, Fuyong City.

As the economic center of the province, the provincial government and even the Supreme Council have repeatedly issued documents to commend the Fuyong Municipal Government for its hard work and positive actions, and require Fuyong City to be unswerving, forge ahead, give full play to the role of the economic "bridgehead" of Fuyue Province, be a good "leader", drive the economic development of the surrounding cities and counties, and benefit the people's livelihood in the border areas.

It's a pity that this "leader" hasn't run yet, and the sheep-chaser's stick has been discounted, since the fifth obelisk fell into the hands of the Northern Federation, the situation in all aspects of Fuyue Province has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and as a member of Fuyue Province, Fuyong City has naturally not been spared.

In the conference room on the fourth floor of the municipal government office building, the smoke was filled, and the cadres in suits and leather shoes were gathered.

The meeting was of a high standard, and the leaders of the city's large and small institutions were all present, and since it was learned that the Northern Federation had entered the détente zone and began to officially march, Fuyong would hold such a large collective meeting once a month.

Now, forced by the external situation, the frequency of the meeting has increased from once a month to once a month, and then once a week now, several key organs in the city need to make a weekly report on the development of their work at the meeting and make a brief statement on the work plan, work focus and expected results for the next week.

In the fog, everyone's face was solemn, because Mayor Huang was ill, in accordance with the principle of priority, the meeting was presided over by the first deputy mayor Chen Ke'an.

The deputy mayor Chen was transferred to Fuyong seven years ago, he was originally only the director of a bureau in Ningpu County, under the jurisdiction of Fuyong City, at that time it was Mayor Huang who was exceptionally promoted, and he was transferred from the following county, first became the deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, at that time the old director of finance has reached the age, usually basically retreats to the second line and does not take care of things, a year later the old director retired, Chen Ke'an, the expected "dark horse" turned positive, two years later, and concurrently served as the deputy mayor of Fuyong City, and then two years, He officially stepped down from the post of director of the Finance Bureau and was promoted to the first deputy mayor of Fuyong City, mainly in charge of finance, taxation, human resources security, commerce, foreign affairs, statistics, investment and development, and had the power to manage other aspects of the city's work when necessary.

For this rising political star, it is this "under one person", because Chen Ke'an's sudden rise is really eye-catching, many people have questioned it recently, saying that it is because of the old mayor's "luring the wolf into the house" that has led to the current "fall of power".

Of course, this kind of thing is said secretly, no one will get it on the surface, as for the belief in a few points, this is a test of personal vision and sense of smell, many things are so vague, to paraphrase a sentence of Buddhism, it is really "believe is there, do not believe is nothing." ”

is such a dark horse-like character, he speaks and does things in plain life, but he is not as resolute as ordinary people imagine, but rather mellow and low-key, not showing his edge, and it is no wonder that some people say behind his back that Deputy Mayor Chen is not necessarily very capable, but the backer behind him is very hard, and even involves the side of Xiangling, which leads to the sky, as for the previous experience, it is just a necessary dormant because of the temporary compromise of the forces behind it.

Chen Ke'an, in addition to not being distempered, is also very tight, and has never mentioned anything about his background to anyone, but many times things in the official face are like this, rather believe it than believe it, the rumors will not stop at the wise, but will be exaggerated and used by the so-called "wise man", and in the end it will become the so-called "tacit" thing, and even the bigger the, the better, the more people believe it.

One of the theories is that Chen Ke'an's "Chen" is of the same origin as "Chen", a speaker of the Supreme Council surnamed Chen, and Chen Ke'an's rise in recent years seems to be linked to the Chen family's power in the parliament.

The meeting began at nine o'clock in the morning, and it was almost noon at this time, and after nearly three hours of high-intensity meetings, everyone couldn't help but be a little tired, but the stakes were so important that no one dared to be sloppy at this time.

Perhaps because of this, the smoke in the conference room is thicker than at the beginning of the meeting, and at such times, tobacco is indeed the only way to refresh the mind.

The conference room is very magnificent, and the space is not small, but there are too many old smoking guns, and a strong smell of tobacco lingers in the conference room, which is very choking, even Gu Changming, who smokes a few from time to time, can't help frowning secretly.

As for his side, Xiao Jin, who usually complains about Gu Changming's smoking, is even more undisguised from the displeasure on his glamorous face, but he is helpless, this is the conference room of the municipal government building, not a place where she can do whatever she wants, even if she is unhappy, she can only endure it.

Transcendents certainly have power over mortals, but in the current situation, there are not many choices for Xiao Jin: kill someone, or walk away.

Both of these are self-willed actions, which will not only not make any difference to the current situation, but will also deprive them of the opportunity to participate in the deliberations, which is counterproductive.

This may be the limitation of the official transcendentals, many times, as long as they want to stay in this circle, they can't do whatever they want like those transcendents in the opposition organization.

After issuing an order to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to "thoroughly investigate the recent and frequent abnormal incidents in the urban area, and form a detailed report and report it within a week", Chen Ke'an picked up the tea jar, drank a few sips of tea in a subterranean manner, picked up the manuscript paper, and read: "The next topic is for the large-scale brawls in Ningpu County due to the approaching war......

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a burst of thunder, and everyone couldn't help but look up, and they saw outside the window at some point, a cloud of dark clouds, gloomy and gloomy, covering the sky, as if pressing on the top of people's heads made people a little breathless, and lightning tore the sky, like a scar that appeared from time to time.

It seems that in a blink of an eye, the rain that has been brewing for a long time falls, and the smoke and rain outside the window and the clouds and mist inside the window can be regarded as taking care of each other, reflecting each other.

No matter how heavy Chen Ke'an's authority is, Tiangong has to compromise slightly, Chen Ke'an, who was forced to stop reading the manuscript, looked up at the people in the conference room who were slightly distracted by the thunder, frowned slightly, coughed lightly, and continued, "The report shows that in this brawl, Ningpu's security forces were seriously damaged, so I applied to our city for support." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ke'an put down the manuscript paper, glanced at Gu Changming, and said: "If I remember correctly, Ningpu also applied for the deployment of troops to assist in defense before, but it was rejected, and the meaning this time is similar to last time, in addition to dispatching troops, he also applied for special assistance." ”

"Let's discuss this."

"Nope."

As soon as the words fell, someone jumped out immediately, and their views clearly expressed their opposition, and at the same time, they could be regarded as expressing support for Chen Ke'an's views.

Although Chen Kean did not make a clear statement, he deliberately mentioned his previous application for military transfer to assist in defense, and the meaning of his words was already very clear.

When you are a leader, how else can you say this?

"The meaning of the Supreme Council is to shrink the line of defense, and to withdraw as much as possible, and to move as much as possible, that is, those who should be evacuated should be evacuated as soon as possible, and those who can be moved should be moved out as soon as possible, and the government should cooperate with the people to evacuate and move, and we should send people to Ningpu at this time, I'm afraid it is inappropriate,"

The director who objected paused and continued: "This is on the one hand, on the other hand, Ningpu County is close to the Cold Food Sea, it is an important outlet to the sea, and the war is chaotic, it must be the key target of the Northern Federation. ”

After that, many people in the conference room nodded their heads one after another, and they were very impressed by the director's remarks.

Gu Changming Zhong Bingliang, who was sitting next to Chen Ke'an, glanced at it, and last time, only this deputy mayor Zhong voted in favor of the issue of increasing troops to support Ningpu.

But to his disappointment, perhaps he learned the lesson of the last time, this time, Zhong Bingliang was silent, and he selectively ignored Gu Changming's gaze.

No one was willing to stand up for Ningpu.

This situation should have been imagined a long time ago, Gu Changming sighed secretly, only feeling a little helpless.

He knows what these people think, and he says it so high-soundingly, but in fact, he thinks about his own net worth, whether it is the transfer of troops to assist in defense or the special investigation bureau to send personnel to support, as soon as the people go, the strength of Fuyong's side will naturally be weak, and in the current situation, this is precisely the most unacceptable thing for these officials in Fuyong.

They are too lazy to care about the life and death of other places, and even the life and death of the people in the urban area, they have no time to care, the huge Fuyong City, the most economically developed urban area in Fuyue Province, is even inferior to a small Ningpu in the development of pre-war work

Let's take the person just now, saying that he wants to help the people carry out the matter of "removing everything that should be evacuated and can be moved", but no matter how many people can move, as early as two weeks ago, the official who spoke had already sent his entire family to the hinterland of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, so he could be so confident when he spoke.

This is still a lack of ability, not enough connections, those who move late, those who are more powerful, and those who transfer their families early, leaving themselves alone here to act at the opportunity.

"Looks like everyone meant the same thing." Chen Ke'an looked around, but no one spoke, obviously acquiescing to this point of view.

The freezing rain flew obliquely and crackled

Suddenly, Chen Ke'an said coldly: "Not only that, but the comrades who were originally on duty outside should also be recalled as soon as possible." ”

"Now it seems that the letter of commendation sent at that time was indeed a little inconsiderate."

Hearing this, Gu Changming just lowered his head and did not answer.
