#427 - Chapter 427: Being tricked by Bailiji

Therefore, the defensive battlefields in the Lhasa region have now become natural breeding grounds.

A bad thing turned into a good thing.

Within China, Huatong Construction's cooperation with various resettlement camps to build underground survival bases is still progressing in an orderly manner.

From January, when the first batch of four underground survival bases was completed, until now, five months have passed. During these five months, more than 40 underground bases have been built successively.

The crystal nuclei earned by the resettlement camps from raising rats are also continuously flowing into the hands of Dongfang Chen and the Chinese Parliament.

According to the tax rate stipulated in the "Wartime Tax Regulations", the final proportion of crystal nuclei falling into the hands of Dongfang Chen and the Parliament is roughly 6:4.

It can be seen that the Parliament has also made a fortune during this period.

Furthermore, most of the crystal nuclei are deposited in Huatong Chamber of Commerce's accounts.

Therefore, the Parliament's income, accurately speaking, is only on paper.

As a result, Chen Guanxuan of the Ministry of Finance was very happy at the beginning. Having money on the books meant peace of mind. But later, a good thing turned into a worrisome one.

Why?

These funds are just numbers, and they are numbers on paper controlled by a private organization.

In the event, just saying in the event, that something happens to Huatong Chamber of Commerce, whether these crystal nuclei can be withdrawn is a big unknown.

Because of this, Chen Guanxuan has approached Baili Ji several times.

Repeatedly reminding him that these crystal nuclei must be spent quickly, leaving too much on the books is too risky.

Each time, Baili Ji would just perfunctorily say a few words and then send him away.

That's why he is so worried.

On the other hand, in addition to the Central Military Region, the construction projects of underground bases in the other four military regions have already been launched.

Now everyone has no shortage of crystal nuclei, so they are all frantically engaged in infrastructure construction.

The Southwest Military Region has always cooperated directly with Dongfang Chen, and has the foundation of the first phase of underground defense works, so the subsequent projects are directly operated by Dongfang Chen.

The other three military regions went to Huatong Chamber of Commerce.

Until now, the commanders of several military regions realized that Baili Ji is an old fox.

At that time, in order for the "Wartime Tax Regulations" to be implemented smoothly, especially to get the support of Huatong Chamber of Commerce, a major taxpayer, he specifically gave some privileges. One of them was granting Huatong Construction military construction qualifications.

Regarding this, everyone was slightly doubtful at the time.

If you want to open the door for them, giving them a first-class civil construction qualification would be appropriate. But why did Baili Ji attach a military project construction qualification?

Now they understand that they have been tricked by Baili Ji.

If the four military regions want to build underground survival bases, will the Military and Political Department have to pay?

According to the rules, they definitely have to pay, and they must pay in full.

All along, the various military regions have relied on the Military and Political Department to allocate military funds and materials to operate, and there has never been a precedent of being responsible for their own profits and losses and seeking their own way.

However, the last parliamentary meeting ended unhappily, and the commanders of the four military regions all stated that they would no longer participate in the construction project of the Mosang Ark, but would build their own bases. Baili Ji did not express his position on this, neither agreeing, nor opposing, nor punishing, completely without any attitude.

In this way, the projects of the four military regions were launched one after another.

Now, the Parliament didn't spend a penny, and still has to collect taxes from it.

Moreover, the bases of the four military regions have all been built.

By the time everyone reacted, it was already too late.

No wonder Baili Ji can be the Speaker of the Parliament.

Putting the four commanders together, they can't keep up with him.

......

Now it is already close to the end of June. According to the weather conditions in previous years, it should already be very hot now.

But this year is different. The highest temperature these days is only about 28°.

People all over the country are discussing this, and they all believe that the rumors of an ecological crisis are true.

But everyone is not too worried.

This year is much better than last year.

Now everyone has something to do, has food to eat, and the supply of various materials is slowly becoming sufficient. Moreover, the underground survival bases in the resettlement camps have either been built or are under construction. Moreover, the living conditions in the underground bases are more than a little better than now. So even if the crisis comes, everyone will eat and drink as they please, and no one is afraid.

The situation in the Northeast region is slightly worse.

Now the highest temperature there during the day is only 16°, and it is still below zero at night.

This is very uncomfortable.

You know, in previous years, it was definitely above 30° at this time.

For this reason, Baili Ji specifically talked to Shang Yangping of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

After the conversation, he personally called Suo Tonghua.

On the phone, he asked Suo Tonghua to fully cooperate with Shang Yangping's work.

Suo Tonghua agreed without saying a word.

Baili Ji's plan is to select three locations in each of the three provinces of Guandong, and entrust Huatong Construction to build a total of 9 large underground survival bases to relocate survivors who cannot meet the conditions in the short term.

Of course, many resettlement camps that have the conditions to build their own bases definitely do not want to merge, and the Parliament will not force them.

The implementation of this plan requires the Ministry of Civil Affairs to host, Suo Tonghua to provide security and transportation support, and the Ministry of Finance to allocate funds.

Chen Guanxuan was worried that the crystal nuclei were too hot to handle, so when he learned that there was a project to invest in, he waved his pen: Spend!
