National Juggernaut

Chapter 785 Expansion
In the old days, for a city, the most important thing was its location.

Surrounding resources, relationships with other cities, infrastructure such as transportation, water and electricity, etc., can all be made up for later in life, but the innate position, the role and division of labor played by a certain power or country, is difficult to replace the day after tomorrow .

To use a not-so-appropriate adjective, everything is a "historical process." The struggle of individuals and even groups is not meaningless under the rolling wheels of history, but most of them are only the meaning of performance.

For cities in the new era, the most important thing is "safety". How much "safety area" can a city bring to the surrounding area, and how is the quality of its safety area.

The "safety zone" is directly converted into population. In this era of sword masters of all people, population can be converted into combat power, and finally determines how big a circle of influence can be formed, how much external resources can be mastered, and then enter a new round of virtuous circle.

And the "safety zone" of a city is locked by the city's "space security domain", which basically means how strong the core of the spiritual weapon of the big city is, and how high the upper limit it can reach in the end.

To put it bluntly, the stronger the "god" killed when building the city, the higher the potential of the city.

This is Shiqian City, which is regarded as one of the future "Three King Capitals of the Eastern Continent". Where is the strength of Shiqian, and where is the foreseeable upper limit of Shiqian City's improvement. However, its evolution speed is still It was lower than many people's expectations.

"We lost a core at the beginning, just like building a house that was originally composed of three parts, and one of them was stripped away. There are only two parts that cannot be stacked up, but the site is not stable enough and the stack is not high enough .”

With the return of the "Third Core", the complete Shiqian City has silently started its own evolutionary path, which actually happened a few years ago.

When Zheng Li, the third core, returned, and when all the "guards" in that meeting arrived at their positions, its potential power was naturally activated, and many things were manifested.

What is known and cannot be concealed is the ever-expanding security zone.

The original ultra-safe zone of the first ring was directly expanded by a circle, and half of the second ring was abruptly included, and the second ring was directly expanded to the position of the third ring, and the fourth ring was already in the wilderness outside.

"Let's vote as soon as possible. Should the districts be re-divided, or should they be directly divided into five rings?"

The other side of the urban ring design is that as long as the radius/diameter increases, the total area will increase geometrically. After a preliminary estimate, the first wave of growth dividends will force Shiqian City within the Fourth Ring Road The total area has increased by 17%.

Although the number is not large, the base number is quite astonishing, which means that the living space has increased by nearly one-fifth, and the number of people that can accommodate at least tens of millions more.

More importantly, this kind of expansion is actually slowly increasing its growth every day, and it has not yet reached the current limit.

"Personally, I think it's more appropriate to re-divide. After all, you guards still have the important task of maintaining the safety of this area. What's more"

When asked by Li Zhenjun for his opinion, Zheng Li answered with a smile.

"... Those who prevent everyone from making a fortune together will be kicked to death."

If the area does not move now, and there is an extra fifth ring, although there will be an extra department and a group of beneficiaries, the existing forty or so guards will not only not be able to enjoy the development bonus this time, but will also get some extra money Work and trouble.

Administratively, there is no need to divide the administrative areas, but in essence, the expanded areas still need guards to take responsibility. If there are more "local officials" on the Fifth Ring Road, the 24 guards on the Fourth Ring Road will probably have to bear their workload.

And if it is re-divided, it is equivalent to everyone's cake. The territory has grown a lot, the population has increased and taxes have been increased, and the white land outside the city wall is virgin land waiting to develop resources. It can be used for real estate development, business or even public welfare. facility, any guardian cannot refuse this sweet 'responsibility'.

"Okay, that's it for now."

"Aren't you going to ask 'whose' opinion?"

"Oh, as you said, who would refuse such a good thing."

Li Zhenjun's answer was irrelevant, but Zheng Li knew that he didn't intend to question the opinions of the "second pole".

This is not the first time, now Li Zhenjun is using actions to show his attitude towards "political enemies".

The "isolation" caused by strength is a mountain that is quite difficult to overcome, and these acts of setting up "enemies" are themselves "banners" that unite people on their side. In today's Shiqian City, few people would be willing to stand Next to the other pole.

I have to admit that the situation of the new speaker is quite bad. If there is no accident, the leader of the vase will probably be in office for decades.

"Okay, I will support you at the meeting."

And Zheng Li himself expressed his support for this kind of development. During the current war, centralization of power is indeed higher than "freedom".

Some things are in the future. If you hope that Shiqian City can send more reinforcements in a few years, then it will be convenient for everyone to have a higher authority of the "monarch".

The next day, the "relevant opinions on re-dividing urban areas" were quickly passed at the emergency meeting. The new speaker was notified only one hour before the meeting. Li Zhenjun's proposal was warmly welcomed by all the staff, and there was only silence all the way The new Speaker, his face turned green when he came down

She, as the guardian of the central ring, is probably the only unlucky person who cannot benefit from this reform.

But fortunately, she was not stupid enough to directly block. Blocking all the guarded roads, it would really kill people, and it's not like Erji didn't "die in battle".

But at the same time, she also made a suggestion.

"The first ring has also expanded a lot, and there are too many key facilities in the first ring, and the existing defense force is obviously insufficient. I suggest forming a new security department, which will be directly under the jurisdiction of the parliament."

This is because she wants to form a group of personal soldiers, but in exchange for politics, Li Zhenjun is not aggressive. It is ridiculous for a speaker-level boss to have no one under him.

Yes, there is no one under him. Before this boss had a group of researchers under his command. Now that he has been promoted in politics, there is no past department.

As the head of the parliament, the speaker is a special institution that has no direct subordinate forces. How much authority the speaker has depends entirely on her personal authority. After all, the parliament is where "public opinion" gathers. She may not care about anything, or she may not care about anything Tube.

But everyone knows that with the expansion of "territories", Shiqian City will enter a new round of golden development period.

As a politician, doing nothing in the midst of the tide is tantamount to actively putting on the hat of "incompetence".

So she proposed creating an armed guard, and naturally intended to do something about it.
From the point of view of the entire city, as long as she is not stupid enough to rebel, it should be a good thing. Li Zhenjun did not push people into a hurry, and easily passed the proposal. From then on, there was a new police department and An elite establishment of 5000 people.

This is just a small corner of the entire Shiqian City's changes. It is foreseeable that in order to meet the needs of development, all areas will be further expanded, and the overall strength of Shiqian City will naturally rise to a higher level.
