For a great road, the road itself is not important. What is important for a great project is actually the surrounding facilities.

Logistics supply stations, outposts, psychic network pipes, space stabilization equipment, space radars, etc. along the road, as well as guards and soldiers regularly clearing the surrounding areas, can make a road a "walkable road" instead of risking it.

A life-threatening "adventure journey".

In the past planning, the first phase was scheduled to be completed in 413 years. This year it is 373 years. The first phase is scheduled to be completed in 40 years. It is only the main road of Xiujiang-Shiqian-Ninh Binh.

Generally speaking, a major project that is expected to take 40 years to complete... is considered fast if it can be completed in 80 years. But in fact, this main road was announced to be completed last year, and the entire process only took five years and seven months.

, the first batch of fleets began to circulate.

The reason? Can building roads in peacetime and building lifelines in wartime be an efficiency?

When the resources of the entire six cities of the Renaissance Alliance were invested in it, the speed at which facilities were laid along the roads and troops were stationed was extremely outrageous.

On the one hand, there are extra manpower brought in during times of peace and prosperity... The strategy of maintaining enough manpower for a construction site is to do a little, count a little, do a little, touch a little. I don't know when it will be completed, but when the last batch is completed,

The first part is probably a long-term project that has to be rebuilt.

On the one hand, during the war, everyone was waiting to be used, urging construction, building day and night, countless fulcrums started to be built at the same time, and the national project was started with the efforts of the whole country. They were really the same plan, but two completely different projects.

Now, the second phase of the "Great Road" project has been launched. It is expected to only last 20 years, but the goal is to link the three cities of Beishi, Wanshou and Yanzhou.

This means that all big cities and most of the core towns of the Renaissance Alliance will be located on this road network.

At least 80% of the population, resources will circulate among them. According to the basic laws of economic circulation, wealthy areas will become richer and richer, and remote areas will only become more and more remote...even, the entire Renaissance Alliance's power will

The territory of the new era will unfold along this road.

This is the mainstream of the times, the general trend of the times, and the trend of the times that most people in the entire Renaissance Alliance region must pay attention to.

"If we can participate in it, even if it is just some scraps, we can lie down and rise. If we can really participate in it..."

The war has become the driving force for the Renaissance Alliance to unite. The construction of the "Great Road Network" is the process of scattered cities moving into a whole. In the next hundred years, as long as the war continues, the construction of this unlimited road network will always be

It is the main theme of the times.

If you want to develop, you cannot go against the mainstream of the times. If you miss it, you will be gone.

Zheng Li used to be a chess piece, a potential stock that had certain potential but could not redeem it.

But now, he is a chess player. He has his own base in his hands, with a population of hundreds of thousands or millions, and almost several A-group guard legions (private armies). He can call the great lord Zheng Li to his face.

Your Excellency, it may be a bit unruly, but it cannot be wrong.

He must consider his subordinates and his subjects.

This time when he returned to Shiqian City, his interactions with the big guys who looked down on him in the past were completely different from before.

Every time before, it was ordered or arranged by his superiors. Seeing his special status, Qingfeng gave the "order" relatively tactfully, or gave him certain inducements.

But this time, whether Chengmen met District Chief Liu or other high-level officials, Zheng Li always communicated and exchanged with the speaker with a level-headed attitude.

He is a lord, a prince, and a local warlord.

Although he can only be regarded as a mid-level warlord in terms of power and cannot reach the top echelon, but just for this independence, he must be treated reciprocally by other forces... Otherwise, not giving Zheng Li face is

The act of insulting the entire world of Monsoon Land was also a provocation to countless local princes.

Zheng Li also had to fight for a good position... The act of trading this ticket not only gained him the favor of the central faction in the city, but also gained the recognition of the local faction.

"Oh, no one likes people who cross the line or don't stick to the track. An Xin, I understand."

The difference in identity and location forced him to behave completely differently from what he did back then.

That invitation to commentate on the competition? Although it was an expression of goodwill and an advertising opportunity for the overseas legion, Zheng Li ultimately entrusted it to Wu Sanjun instead of going there himself... Obviously he

If you go out in person and rely on your "precognition" judgment, you can probably refresh the three-level advertising effectiveness.

"Your status is different, you can't just end up in person...Have you ever seen a high-ranking official casually appear on TV programs and perform talk shows? Don't talk about those boring deputy ministers, you see

Have you ever been to a minister to give a commentary? You are also the leader now. Even if you are not busy, you still have to pretend to be busy. Your face does not belong to you."

"Yes, you must be careful every time you speak in public. A single slip of the tongue may bring disastrous consequences. It is best not to say anything at all or even to appear. Not to mention that you now hold a key

Sexual votes, this will definitely cause some trouble... To put it bluntly, we can't be sure whether there are targeted traps waiting for you, and not every high-level official in the city is friendly to us."

The advice of his staff finally made Zheng Li give up the idea of ​​going there for fun.

Sword God Competition? Zheng Li wanted to give it a try, but finally gave up... Standing in his position, his words and deeds represent the face of the entire world and territory.

Since exiting the game in person represents the honor of the Monsoon Land, winning is a must and losing is unacceptable, so why bother and make things difficult for yourself?

"...So it turns out that I am already a big shot?"

At this time, Zheng Li noticed that the top leaders of various forces in his past impressions, the ministers in the city, Mayor Li, and the Speaker did indeed rarely appear in public, and when they did, they basically spoke in an official tone.

In the end, he had no choice but to sigh, and then entrusted the opportunity and task of "communication" to his subordinates.

But this does not mean that he has nothing to do. On the contrary, he is always the busiest at work.

"...This bill has a low chance of passing, but it will become an important part of the database. The possibility of being finalized one day in the future is very high."

Without any proof, Zheng Li directly came up with a plan, a construction plan for the southern extension of the Great Road.

This includes a preliminary estimate of the cost of the southward extension, as well as the economic efficiency it may bring...including but not limited to the impact on the entire war situation. It will bring about industrial replacement along the way, and the benefits it will bring to the times.

to deepen the impact of interference on the entire southern region.

This is a feasibility report that Zheng Li spent a lot of money to invite professional scholars from Monsoon Land and the local Academy of Social Sciences (under the R&D Department) to prepare. Its professionalism and authenticity are endorsed by the R&D Department.

If he wants the future new speaker to agree to this "deal", he must at least give enough weighty bargaining chips... If he sells out the overall interests of the city just for personal advancement, he himself cannot be justified internally.

.

The support that only stays on paper level is really low in return. If it can really be established as a basic and long-term basic national policy, it will also be a political achievement for the new Speaker.

"I didn't expect that the benefits that can be seen on paper are actually quite a lot."

"Of course, the southern war zone is the main war zone for our Shiqian City and the Atel people. Countless resources and manpower are invested in it every day. Even if the southern extension line is not built, transportation costs will continue to increase...

.If such a huge project is invested at one time, it will not only save costs in the long run, but the improved comprehensive combat power will also have a positive impact on the entire war situation."

I have to admit that Zheng Li's "selfish" decision was wise and even a long-term investment in the overall strategic situation.

Since the south needs investment, isn’t it possible to fill it all at once? Of course not. If there is no one to take the lead, the total resources are limited at present, and all parties are plundering their own shares. How can they allocate their shares casually?

Now, Zheng Li really came up with this plan, and after making it semi-public, he actually won the support of many "wise people".

Some of them are die-hard centralists who believe that it is a good thing to use road construction as an opportunity to strengthen their control over the surrounding local factions.

Some are capitalists who believe that it represents countless economic benefits... Even if the world is extinct and rebuilt, some things will not change at all.

Most of them are ordinary sword masters and people. They believe that instead of maintaining this kind of war of attrition with continuous blood loss, they should increase the support on the front line and not let the soldiers bleed and shed tears.

When this proposal really attracted the attention of public opinion, and a TV station even tried to interview Zheng Li publicly, he realized that he had gone too far.

At this time, he realized the importance of a "chess player". The words of the staff were correct. Every thought and action of his represented the actions of the entire Monsoon Land and even the local faction. The central faction and the Shiqian City headquarters must give

Respond seriously.

"Check for me, who is creating momentum..."

There is no smoke without fire. It is one thing to leak this file and become the focus of public opinion... If there is no mastermind behind it, then it is really a bit nonsense.

"What is that boy from the Zheng family doing?"

"Is he forcing the palace? Forcing the new speaker and mayor to express their stance?"

"Is he crazy? Can you force this thing?"

At this time, Zheng Li inexplicably took the blame... Most people thought that the mastermind behind the scenes was Zheng Li. After all, this was a plan that Zheng Li personally came up with. Once implemented successfully, his benefits would be huge.

Zheng Li, who had inexplicably taken the blame, felt a little hurt. He even called Mayor Li himself to explain... He was wronged. There was a possibility that the forced marriage was unsuccessful. Wasn't he waiting for revenge?

Strangely, Mayor Li on the opposite side simply replied, "I understand." and hung up the phone directly, leaving Zheng Li filled with grievances and not knowing how to vent his grievances.

But soon, before the people he sent out to investigate the mastermind could respond, the "mastermind" jumped out on his own!

"Xiao Zheng is a good comrade. I personally think his proposal is of great reference value and should be submitted to the parliament for review as soon as possible. I will personally vote in favor."

When Mayor Li Zhenjun made his position clear on TV, everyone was dumbfounded, especially Zheng Li, who almost dislocated his jaw.

Now, everyone understands... It turns out that you are the mastermind behind this!

But don't say it, when the results come out, it becomes easier to deduce the reasons.

Once the Great Road South Extension is successful, the real beneficiary will be Zheng Li, yes, but the bigger beneficiary will be this young Mayor Li!

As one of the two poles, he has actually been suppressed by the old Speaker. The younger one obviously wants to do more, but with the seniority of the old guard and the historical achievements of the old Speaker, Mayor Li must do whatever he wants.

After discussing with her, what we can do is actually quite limited.

Finally, the old guy...the old senior is going to retire. No matter who the new speaker is, it will be impossible for him to have an arm-wrestling with Li Zhenjun in the short term.

He will become the de facto leader. In this vacuum period when the opponent has not grown up, he must do something big to unite everyone and forces to his side, and completely become the leader of Shiqian City...

For example, the previous conservative speaker suppressed all the reformists and was unable to move.

At this time, the proposal sent by Zheng Li became the best option, and even a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At this time, it’s time to take a step back and think.

If Li Zhenjun opposes this proposal... This proposal was eventually jointly promoted by Zheng Li and the new speaker, becoming an opportunity for the two people to form an alliance, and also became a banner for the forces against Mayor Li to unite (in the name of forming a party)
To be continued...
