"Nine Colors of Life" Xi Juan is about 260 years old. As a mythical sword master, she is at her peak.

She has served as the Minister of Research and Development for about 40 years, a lifelong achiever of the Golden Dragon Medal, and is also the new Speaker.

Her appearance, just by appearing on the list of candidates, made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that there is finally a candidate who is not a hawk..."

Female, born in the R&D department, capable of logistics, and non-combatant. Among the dozens of hardcore and hawkish candidates, she is really eye-catching.

But no one is really optimistic... After all, it is during the war, and front-line departments such as the Military Ministry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Transportation have significantly greater say.

But in the end, one candidate after another was eliminated, and this one looked like a running candidate, successfully gaining the most support.

As a result, there were rumors that this was directed by Mayor Li, who did not want to see an overly strong competitor.

"...Do I need to do this? In the current situation, even if General Shi Wen of the military is elected, he is also a weak 'bipolar'. Looking for an unsuitable 'long-term collaborator' will eventually

It’s me who suffers.”

In an internal small meeting, Mayor Li stated his grievances very straightforwardly.

This is indeed the case. Due to the determination of the "Three Poles" and the big hole dug by the "Southern Extension Line", the newly appointed Speaker must make a "big concession" commitment before taking office. No matter how you look at it, it will be long-term.

In a weak stage, there is no need to elect a leader who is too weak... If the new speaker cannot win over the "Mayor Li's opposition", the headache is actually Mayor Li himself, which means that the central government

The faction was really divided.

Xi Juan was able to get the job amid competition simply because she was the most suitable candidate.

"...I have learned, I have learned that among a group of war-fighting candidates, the only dove has gathered the support of most of the centrists and the opposition."

Zheng Li shook his head and had no intention of further intervention. He didn't even believe Mayor Li's "candor".

In fact, if this "weak" candidate can take office, he must win the support of other departments and even Mayor Li to stabilize his position, and he will not be able to pose a threat to Mayor Li in the short term... Benefit from the first

The method used to deduce conspirators may be old-fashioned, but it is quite practical.

However, he did not participate in the entire "election" this time.

Only after confirming the "new speaker", having some communication with the other party, and exchanging votes for the other party's "political commitment of full support on the southern extension line", he left the parliament.

"How about the new Speaker?"

Ms. Song Ying, who was waiting outside, also looked tired. For some reason, she had been working overtime too many times recently, and it was a job she didn't like very much.

"...I can only say that it is in line with our expectations. You have also dealt with the R&D department. Do you know anything about her?"

"Oh, someone else is a national treasure-level R&D boss. What qualifications do I, a new researcher with less than ten years of experience, have to understand him?"

Hearing this, Zheng Li nodded, there was enough information in it.

"A research and development boss..."

Research and politics are two strands, and there must be people who are great at both, but the two strands are not pursuing the same thing. The rise of this relatively simple R&D boss... Zheng Li is increasingly

I feel that she is unlikely to interfere with the decision-making of Shiqian City in the short term. Shiqian City will show obvious one-level transformation in the short term.

"...Then, the expeditionary force's plan may be unstoppable."

As one of the "three poles" and Mayor Li Zhenjun's "closest political ally", Zheng Li is probably the only insider to some things.

During this period of time when "adultery is at its peak", Zheng Li directly asked Mayor Li what he thought of the expeditionary force, and the unification of the rhythm of the action was itself a sign of goodwill.

The mayor also expressed his thoughts very clearly.

"The expeditionary force will definitely be sent out, more or less with the intention... At a time when other big cities are sending reinforcements, we can't possibly fall behind."

Shi Qian City has made preparations to send reinforcements. This is the true answer that will only be told to Zheng Li and a few people. If it is leaked, everyone will be completely passive in terms of "negotiating conditions" and "public opinion". Then

Obviously unacceptable.

These days, although Song Ying is very busy, Zheng Li is the busiest.

In addition to daily entertainment and messy trivial matters, he also needs to consume a lot of resources to improve himself... This includes not only the precious inventory resources of Shiqian City, but also to obtain intelligence data corresponding to his identity.

Many top-secret databases were opened directly in front of him. Only then did Zheng Li understand more and more the current location and situation of Shiqian City.

Because the war was prepared early and the main front of the war was pushed outside the core area of ​​​​Shiqian City, the losses it suffered were relatively few among the big cities... And during the war, the safest

The region has naturally received more capital, technology, and resources. From the perspective of finance, research and development, industry, and many other aspects, Shiqian City, which was stimulated by the war, is actually developing better than before the war.

In this regard, it mainly benefits from the stable income brought by the "Great Road" that has been put into use... At this time, it has facilitated the transfer of a lot of capital and human resources. The pressure over Xiujiang City is greater than here

Much bigger.

As for the "Shiqian War Zone" with the Monsoon Land as the front line, the overall defense situation is also quite stable. Due to the previous losses of the Sons of God, the Atel people did not regard it as a key strategic direction, and invested more "troops".

Most of them still focus on "maintaining balance".

This means that in the medium and long term, Shiqian City not only develops stably, but also has enough spare capacity to do more things.

As a result, the pressure fell on Zheng Li.

"How many reinforcements can be sent depends on how many top combat forces I can resurrect in a short period of time... These guys can really take the blame."
