#127 - Chapter 127 Parliament passes conditions

Yan Zhengping stopped speaking and watched everyone argue.

These kinds of things become clearer with debate. After everyone discusses for a while, they will naturally distinguish the advantages and disadvantages.

Twenty minutes later, the scene quieted down.

"Okay, let's hear what everyone has to say!" the Speaker said.

"I think this matter can be done. Since the '2055 Human Survival White Paper' was issued, we have actually strategically abandoned control over the various settlements. I think everyone is clear on the reason, which is that the Council's power alone cannot guarantee the safety of everyone. We must not forget that there is an even more terrible ecological crisis behind us. Now that such non-governmental organizations have grown up, I think it's a good thing, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the Council."

"I also agree. Special treatment for special periods. The biggest problem currently is the survival of mankind. Uniting any forces that can be united to jointly deal with the ecological crisis is beneficial for us to overcome this crisis."

"I don't agree. Encouraging the excessive expansion of non-governmental forces may lead to a situation where the tail wags the dog, which in turn endangers national security."

"It seems that if you don't agree, the issue of national security will be resolved? If you don't agree, then within a few months, most of the settlements will follow in the footsteps of the Jiangning Settlement. May I ask, what is the point of security if everyone is dead?"

"I think these are actually two issues. One is the issue of crystal core borrowing, and the other is whether to allow non-governmental organizations to grow larger. Let's talk about them separately. Crystal core borrowing is a good idea, which can solve our current problems. As for whether to allow non-governmental organizations to grow larger, I don't think it's a problem either. We have already issued an announcement allowing non-governmental organizations to freely form defense forces and allowing the manufacture and sale of firearms and ammunition. Isn't this encouraging non-governmental organizations to grow bigger and stronger?"

"Therefore, I believe that the biggest problem here is that you have not yet recognized reality. You still retain the old thinking from before the virus outbreak. You feel that it is unacceptable for non-governmental organizations to negotiate terms with the Council, that it violates the rules, and hurts your self-esteem!"

"So, I state my position, I agree!"

The Director of the Department of Agriculture, Yao Wenkang's, impassioned speech stunned everyone.

For a long time, no one spoke again.

In their hearts, everyone still hoped to agree, after all, it involved everyone's personal safety, and the sooner it was implemented, the better.

"Okay, let's vote! Those who agree to issue the announcement, please raise your hands." The Speaker saw that no one was speaking and thought it was time to vote.

Seventeen people agreed.

"Okay, passed!"

"The Department of Legal Affairs is responsible for drafting the announcement, and send it to all settlements immediately after review."

"Councilor Yan, then the next thing is up to you."

"After the launchers arrive, the four major military regions will immediately arrange for helicopters to send them to the various settlements."

"Everyone, the situation is grim. Delaying it for one more day may cause countless deaths. I hope everyone speeds up the process and improves efficiency!"

"Yes!"

The commanders of the four major military regions responded in unison.

"Okay! Meeting adjourned!"

......

Dongfang Chen had already prepared the goods and was waiting for Yan Zhengping's news.

Sure enough, the news came quickly.

Subsequently, Dongfang Chen notified Niu Xingwang to contact Yan Zhengping to discuss the borrowing matters.

The method of borrowing also adopted the installment payment method used by Yan Fangfang.

However, for the Southwest Military Region, hundreds of thousands of crystal cores would not take too long to earn back, after all, the other four military regions were behind them paying back the money.

This launcher equipment would bring a total profit of 4.5 million crystal cores to the Southwest Military Region within 10 months, which can be described as a huge profit.

With crystal cores, there would be a constant stream of equipment.

Otherwise, Yan Zhengping would not have worked so hard to run around for Dongfang Chen.

Dongfang Chen didn't care about this. Crystal core borrowing was originally just moving from the left hand to the right hand. After one transfer, it would become 10 times, and finally all of it would obediently return to his pocket. Since this was the case, then let the bullets fly for a while longer.

He had even bigger plans later, preparing to gradually allow the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild to enter the Council and occupy two seats. However, that was a story for later, and things had to be eaten one bite at a time. This was just a beginning, a good beginning.

......

Subsequently, Yan Fangfang personally transported the launchers back to the Southwest Military Region.

In the following days, planes from various military regions constantly shuttled back and forth, sending one to each settlement and leaving only after installing it on site.

Immediately afterwards, a shocking piece of news was released by the Council, shocking the whole country.

The Council recognized the legitimacy of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild, and recognized these two non-governmental organizations as model representatives of non-governmental organizations. At the same time, it informed the various settlements that the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild would establish branches in each settlement in the future, and requested the person in charge of each settlement to cooperate.

Mayor Gong of Meilin Settlement was greatly shocked after receiving the news.

"Kaiming, this Boss Niu is not simple. In just a few months, his tentacles have already reached the Council. It seems he has a deep background." Zuo Wenshan said from the side.

Kaiming was Mayor Gong, his full name was Gong Kaiming.

"Yes! There's also something you don't know. Before, Boss Niu wanted to be the leader of Meilin Settlement and planned to build an underground base here as the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. But I didn't agree at the time," Mayor Gong said.
