Chapter 172 Different stances!

"Based on the intelligence gathered this time, we have re-planned the final code names of all safety zones within our jurisdiction..."

In front of the screen, the lieutenant was fulfilling his duties conscientiously.

The document just sent in by his subordinates was just placed on the table because it was not a top-secret file.

Wait for the previous report to be completed.

The highest commander present, Minister Qian, frowned and picked up the documents on the table to check...

To his left.

The other two commanders looked equally bored, one of them was cursing.

"I still maintain my previous position. This information disclosure is just a bad move. Without official confirmation, those potentially dangerous elements in the safe zone will still doubt whether the path to becoming an awakened person is correct..."

"It's good now that the official decision has directly confirmed the way to become an awakened person. Doesn't this encourage some people to do evil? Doesn't this give some people a direction to take advantage of the situation..."

"With so many reports, aren't they enough to prove that the biggest threat to human society in this disaster is not the monsters in the contaminated areas at all, but us humans ourselves..."

Listening to his subordinates' complaints, Minister Qian slowly looked away from the documents in his hands.

His heavy brows furrowed tightly, and he said with a hint of reproach:

"Old Sun, your idea is too extreme."

As the commander-in-chief present, as soon as he opened his mouth, other commanders also looked at him.

Minister Qian continued in a rich voice: "According to your idea, what we should do now is not to support various precarious safety zones, but to control all these safety zones and the people inside..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

His old subordinate, whom he called Lao Sun, took over and said, "Of course we have to do this! If we don't control all the safe zones and all the existing safe lands, how can we control the number of awakened people and how can we control the subsequent casualties!"

The other commanders all looked thoughtful. Most of them had conflicting expressions, but some had clear opinions, either unclear objection or unclear agreement.

A supporter took out a cigarette and twirled it with his fingers: "I agree. Only by controlling the number of awakened people among the people can we control the situation to the greatest extent. Any one or a group of awakened people will be affected by this disaster. There are huge variables, and I don’t need to say what the consequences will be if they lose control.”

Some opponents sneered: "How to control it? Is it a flat push of tanks, or is it covered by artillery fire? It's really easy to put it lightly. I don't want to think clearly about how many innocent people will be injured or killed and how many soldiers will bleed in this process."

The debate started again...

As for the points of contention between the two sides, it is not complicated.

In a nutshell, part of the command now believes that the status quo should be maintained. Now that the authorities have established a firm foothold, they should begin to plan a planned rescue operation in each safety zone and gradually regain control of the order in the safety zone.

Another part of the command believes that they should take a strong dose and use thunderous means to control all safe areas first. Even if it is like raising livestock, they must first control each safe area, especially to control the awakened ones and those who become The passage of the awakened ones, and then plan for the follow-up.

The core contradiction lies in the awakened person...

It is to temporarily allow the number of awakened people to increase, allow the uncertainty to increase, and only provide material assistance.

It is better to sacrifice some of the interests of the public first, block the channels for promotion of awakened people, and complete the centralization of power...

As the head of the combat department, Minister Qian looked sad and helpless.

Simply ignore the noise around you.

Look back at the document in your hand.

"Su City hopes that we will send someone to bring Professor Yan's daughter to Su City..."

Minister Qian threw the document in his hand on the table and only elaborated on Su City's demands without expressing any opinions.

"Professor Yan's daughter? It's a trivial matter. My people found her a month ago. It's just that she doesn't want to go to Su City. But since it's Professor Yan's request, just satisfy her. I'll send someone to put her there." Received from the safe zone in Suzhou..."

Lao Sun on the left, after talking a lot.

Minister Qian said abruptly: "The person she wants is the one from Beicheng."

Lao Sun was stunned for a moment: "That genius?"

Minister Qian thanked him, and then both of them looked troubled.

Before the end, Professor Yan's 'daughter', Tao Yaoyao, was a genius scientist with a secret.

After the apocalypse, talents like her will have a more noble status, so Professor Yan's request is equivalent to asking them to ask for top talents from Beicheng.

This requires the other party to agree.

Besides, the scientific research conditions in Beicheng are definitely better than those in Suzhou.

They don't have very good conditions to recruit talents.

Don't even think about playing the family card. The genius named Tao Yaoyao seems to have no concept in this regard. She is indifferent to everyone and is only passionate about science...

After a moment of silence, Lao Sun spoke first: "Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, forget it. When the time comes, I will bring her biological daughter over, and it should be considered a business trip."

Minister Qian exhaled slowly: "Let's do it this way."

After speaking, Minister Qian opened the last document in his hand.

After reading the documents for a while, his brows became solemn again.

Soon someone noticed the change in his expression and asked:

"Is there anything else that's difficult to do?"

"It's not a difficult matter, but it's not an easy matter either." Minister Qian spread out the documents in his hand and said angrily, "It took so long for Su City to notify us of such important news."

Someone took the documents on the table and looked at them, and his expression suddenly became wonderful.

"Superpowers?"

"There are such powerful human beings? One person can easily kill dozens of opponents, half of whom are awakened people with firearms..."

A group of people looked shocked and asked whether the news was accurate.

After receiving a positive answer, everyone became silent.

The debate over positions just now is actually based on maintaining the status quo after a disaster. If other variables appear, then this debate over positions will be meaningless...

Just imagine, if ten or eight of the superpowers described in the document suddenly appeared, who could withstand them? You also control the safe zone. It would be nice not to be controlled by others...

for a long time.

Minister Qian then spoke: "The good news now is that the other party seems to be relatively friendly and can be contacted... Of course, we shouldn't need to worry about this matter."

After a pause, he added meaningfully: "Some people don't want us to worry about this matter, otherwise they wouldn't tell us now."

Direction to Beicheng.

Inside the Ninth Research Institute.

On the road outside the canteen, bulletproof vehicles slowly parked on the roadside.

Then, the door of the back seat was pushed open, and a well-proportioned and slender calf with white skin was lifted up and slowly stepped on the ground covered with a light layer of snowflakes. Then, a figure that looked like a fairy standing in the dust stood up from the back seat of the car. Get out.

In the cafeteria, behind the glass window.

Several researchers in their thirties cast their gazes in this direction.

"She...is Tao Yaoyao, right?"
