National Juggernaut

Chapter 761 Turning Point
"Life of Nine Colors" Xi Juan, around 260 years old, as a mythical sword master, she is in the peak state.

She has served as the Minister of R&D for about 40 years, a lifetime achiever of the Golden Dragon Medal, and is also the new speaker.

Her appearance, just when she appeared on the list of candidates, made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

"Looks like there's finally a candidate who's not too hawkish"

Women, born in the R&D department, ability in the logistics department, and non-combat faction are labeled. Among the hardcore and hawkish candidates, they are too eye-catching.

But no one is really optimistic about it. After all, it is a time of war, and front-line departments such as the military department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Communications have obviously a lot more say.

But in the end, one candidate after another was eliminated, and this one, who looked like a running companion, managed to get the most support.

So, there were rumors that Mayor Li directed it, and he didn't want to see an overly strong competitor.

".Is it necessary for me to do this? Given the current situation, even if Admiral Shi Wen of the military is elected, he is also a weak 'two-pole'. Finding an unsuitable 'long-term partner' will be the one that suffers the most. "

In a small internal meeting, Mayor Li stated his grievances very bluntly.

The fact is exactly the same. 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 promise of "big concessions" before taking office. In a weak stage, there is no need to elect a leader who is too weak. If the new speaker can't win the "Mayor Lee's opposition" to his side, the headache is actually Mayor Lee himself, which means that the central faction is really split up.

Xi Juan was able to take up the post amidst the competition simply because she was the most suitable candidate.

"...Learned, learned, among a group of candidates for the main battle faction, the only dove faction has gathered the support of most of the neutral faction and the opposition."

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

In fact, for this "weak" candidate to be able to 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. Deduce the conspirators from the first beneficiary The method may be old-fashioned, but it is quite practical.

It's just that he didn't participate in the entire "election" this time.

Only after the "new speaker" was confirmed, he communicated with the other party, and exchanged votes for the other party's "political commitment of full support on the southern extension line", and then he left the parliament.

"How about the new speaker?"

Ms. Song Ying, who was waiting outside, was also full of tiredness. For some reason, she worked a little too much overtime recently, and they were all jobs that she didn't like very much.

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

"Heh, someone else is a national treasure-level research and development leader. What qualifications do I, a new researcher less than ten years old, have to understand?"

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

"A research and development boss?"

Research and politics are two different lines. There must be people who are good at both, but the pursuit of the two lines is not the same thing. Zheng Li, the leader of this relatively simple research and development boss, feels that she is unlikely Interfering with the decision-making of Shiqian City in the short term, Shiqian City will show obvious levelization in the short term.

"...Then, the plan of the expeditionary force may be unstoppable."

As "one of the three poles", Mayor Li Zhenjun's "closest political ally", Zheng Li is probably the only one who knows about some things.

During this period of "adultery hotness", Zheng Li directly asked Mayor Li about his views on the expeditionary force, and the unification of the rhythm of operations was itself a kind of gesture of favor.

The mayor also expressed his thoughts clearly.

"The expeditionary force is definitely going to be sent out, and it's more or less a wish. At the moment when other big cities will send reinforcements, we can't fall behind."

Shi Qiancheng is ready to send reinforcements. This is the real answer that will only be explained to Zheng Li and a few people. If it is leaked, it will be completely passive in terms of "negotiation conditions" and "public opinion". 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 eat a lot of resources to improve himself. This includes not only the precious inventory resources of Shiqian City, but also the acquisition of intelligence materials corresponding to his identity.

Many top-secret databases were directly opened in front of him, and Zheng Li had a better understanding of the current location and situation of Shi Qiancheng.

Due to the early preparations for the war, and the main front of the war has been pushed outside the core area of ​​Shiqian City, its losses are relatively small among the big cities. During the war, the safest areas naturally gained more A lot of capital, technology, and resources are transferred. From the perspective of finance, research and development, industry, etc., Shiqian City, which was stimulated by the war, actually developed 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 facilitates the transfer of a lot of capital and human resources. The pressure on Xiujiang City is much greater than here.

As for the "Shiqian War Zone" with the monsoon land as the front line, the overall defensive posture is quite stable. Due to the loss of the sons of gods before, the Atel people did not regard it as a key strategic direction, and the "troops" invested were even greater. 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.

So, the pressure fell on Zheng Li.

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

In desperation, Zheng Li could only start working overtime "happy" to complete his promotion as soon as possible.
