Chapter 838: A Brief Summary of Today's Decisions
After Qi Weizhao's announcement, the meeting commenced as scheduled.
The primary focus of the Security Decision Meeting was on various security matters, including the strategic direction, defense, military deployments, and internal security of the Central City, while excluding administrative affairs.
The first topic on the agenda was regarding the Flying Fleet Company.
In the past, most Flying Fleet companies in Central City were privately established. If there was a need for flying fleets, they were leased or requisitioned in emergencies. However, during the Spider Queen's split, numerous issues were exposed.
With increasing economic interactions with the Outer Ocean, there was a substantial demand for transport fleets. Therefore, over the past few months, the Central City had established a state-owned Flying Fleet company.
Additionally, there were specific considerations for defense and security. The Municipal Parliament possessed monster fleets and a small number of combat fleets. During confrontations with the Municipal Parliament, these could pose a significant threat. Consequently, a combat fleet squad was naturally formed.
However, there was still a disagreement regarding the placement of this combat force. Specialist Liang from the Defense Department suggested that the force could be placed under the Defense Department, allowing them to act independently during peaceful times and providing immediate support to the Fusion Land when issues arose.
On the other hand, the Government Hall proposed placing it under their jurisdiction. The Fusion Land already had an independent fleet squadron, and there were no significant battles there. In contrast, the Government Hall had to deal with the armed forces of the Municipal Parliament, the Union, and various major companies. Administratively, they needed direct command authority.
Chen Chuan had previously reviewed some materials provided by the Spider Queen. In his opinion, this fleet force was originally intended for urban defense, so it should naturally be under the Defense Security Bureau.
The Defense Security Bureau used to be just a shell, and the personnel there weren't his people. Naturally, the Government Hall wouldn't agree to place it under their management. Assigning it to the City Patrol wasn't suitable either, but the situation was different now.
Just two days ago, Secretary-General Qiao Yang had communicated with him about this matter in advance.
At this moment, Qi Weizhao formally proposed during the meeting to place the Flying Fleet squad under the management of the Defense Security Bureau. Qiao Weiting didn't express any opinions, and Specialist Liang also remained silent this time.
Naturally, Chen Chuan didn't have any objections, so the first topic was decided upon in this manner.
The second topic was about the Secret Sect. On the domain screen, Director Qian from the Investigation Bureau stood up and provided some specific details.
If not for attending this meeting, Chen Chuan wouldn't have known that the evil cults had spread so widely. Just this month, fifteen new evil cult organizations emerged within Central City, and five of them were confirmed to be from abroad.
Qian Shushan said, "There's a cult worth paying attention to—the New Light Sect. It's an international evil cult organization from the Linakses Federation. They're likely connected to the Linakses Federation. We've already eliminated their strongholds in the urban area, but their most crucial stronghold is located in the Lower District, making it extremely challenging to infiltrate. Therefore, I'm requesting the Security Decision Group to launch a clearance operation there."
Qi Weizhao looked at Chen Chuan, "Director Chen, what are your thoughts?"
Chen Chuan didn't immediately express his opinion. Instead, he reviewed the introduced materials and danger assessment of this evil cult. He discovered that it had reached Level Two Security Standard, a highly dangerous level typically associated with large-scale casualties and riots.
He quickly linked this to the recent activities of the Daoshun government on the western coast of the Linakses Federation. It seemed that the Federation was also exerting significant efforts to infiltrate and influence the Daoshun government. Moreover, it was likely that their actions weren't limited to Ji Bei Province, and other coastal Central Cities might also be experiencing similar situations.
After considering this, Chen Chuan said, "The Defense Security Bureau can organize an elite tactical squad to specifically target this stronghold. Can the Investigation Bureau confirm the exact location of this stronghold?"
The Lower District was vast, with complex and ever-changing terrain. Local gangs and factions were connected to underground companies, and the area was plagued by the rampant proliferation of military weapons, drugs, implants, and various prohibited items. Countless interests were entangled, making this region an unresolved conundrum. Therefore, a clear target was necessary for effective action.
Director Qian was well-prepared. "We have an insider within the Secret Sect who has informed us of the exact location. But to be cautious, I'll have someone verify it again."
Chen Chuan said, "Good. After the meeting, I'll have the Processing Bureau dispatch an elite force. Once your bureau confirms the location, we'll cooperate immediately."
Director Qian looked at Chen Chuan and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your support, Director Chen."
Although the Investigation Bureau was considered a violent institution, most of its armed personnel weren't fighters. They were equipped with combat implants, but many evil cultists had undergone exaggerated modifications and implants, some even of military-grade.
Even though they had the advantage of Secret Sect rituals, the evil cultists also possessed Secret Sect knowledge. If they didn't have a numerical advantage, dealing with them was actually quite challenging.
However, with the coordination of the Processing Bureau, things would be different. The Processing Bureau could focus on its own affairs, and it was rare for them to provide support. Fortunately, in Director Chen Chuan's opinion, he clearly understood the dangers of Secret Sect rituals and was very supportive of them.
The third agenda item to be discussed was regarding resistance organizations.
Resistance organizations, by definition, are violent groups that oppose governments and corporations on a global scale.
While they are all referred to as resistance organizations, their origins vary. The largest and most prominent among them is undoubtedly the International United Resistance Front.
During the Grand Alliance era, numerous non-governmental civilian armed groups joined the alliance, and these organizations played a significant role in overthrowing the old world dynasty and establishing the Central City.
However, after the Grand Alliance split, the government and corporations claimed the majority of the benefits, leaving these non-governmental organizations abandoned and suppressed. As a result, the United Resistance Front was formed, and it is currently highly active worldwide, with its headquarters rumored to be in Sanmawojia Province.
Aside from this international organization, many so-called resistance organizations within countries are actually funded and supported by foreign powers, and some are even backed by corporations. With multiple companies and giants about to settle in Central City, it is foreseeable that resistance organizations will emerge alongside them.
The Defense Security Bureau needs to prepare in advance and intensify its efforts to eliminate these groups.
Chen Chuan spoke up, "The Defense Bureau will make the necessary arrangements, and I will present a detailed security deployment and report at the next meeting."
The other attendees had no objections, and the meeting proceeded to the final agenda item.
Qi Weizhao spoke, "Moon Dragon and Oceanic Expansion Corporation have submitted a report requesting to establish an information exchange network with our Central City in Jinbei Province.
I have discussed this with the special envoy from the capital, and they also agree with this proposal and hope for our support, but without making it a mandatory requirement.
I have explored the feasibility with the Government Hall, and according to the overall summary, we currently meet the conditions."
As he spoke, he tapped on the World Ring, sending some materials and information to each member of the Decision Group.
Qi Weizhao continued, "However, conflict with the Municipal Parliament is inevitable in this matter, and the Union and Linakses Federation will not make it easy for us. Administrative power alone is insufficient to fully implement this plan, so the Government Hall needs the full support and cooperation of various departments."
Specialist Liang spoke first, "The interconnection and exchange between Central Cities are beneficial for the defense of the World Ring, and the Defense Department supports this proposal."
In a 1619 book, a 1191 version!
Qiao Weiting then spoke solemnly, "The Fusion Land garrison is on high alert, ready to respond to any unforeseen circumstances."
After the three had expressed their opinions, all eyes turned to Chen Chuan, awaiting his response.
As a high-end martial artist, Chen Chuan held considerable influence in Central City, and his support for this proposal was crucial.
Chen Chuan addressed them, "I agree and support this proposal, and on behalf of Principal Yao, I cast a vote of approval."
Although the outcome was already known due to prior communication, Qi Weizhao finally felt relieved upon hearing Chen Chuan's commitment at the meeting. Qi Weizhao spoke, "In that case, this proposal is adopted and included in the Central City's administrative decision-making. The detailed report will be submitted to the Decision Group next month, and if there are no objections, it will be implemented after February of next year."
With this agenda concluded, the meeting came to an end, and Chen Chuan exited the room. The light on the field domain screen gradually faded.
He thought for a moment and decided to handle his personal matters now that his official duties were complete.
He promptly reported his travel plans to his superiors, and since it was an overseas trip, he received approval and authorization quickly.
After arranging the bureau's affairs, on this day, he left his villa and boarded the airship that would take him overseas.
This time, he was not traveling on the Martial Council's airship but instead on one arranged by the Oceanic Expansion Corporation. Moon Dragon Corporation and the Expansion Corporation were clearly aware of the meeting's outcome and were very grateful for his support. They sent a message expressing their gratitude and assuring him that all expenses for his activities abroad would be covered by the two companies.
Holding the Snow Lady Sword, Chen Chuan walked onto the connecting bridge. Suddenly, he paused, and the reception staff at the entrance anxiously asked, "Mr. Chen, is something wrong?"
Chen Chuan replied, "Nothing."
He entered the airship and made his way to his private cabin. A faint glow appeared in his eyes, as he realized that his physical transformation after breaking through the fourth limit was now complete.
At that moment, he could completely conceal his biological field domain and mental overflow, ensuring that nearby martial artists would not sense the intense danger they might have otherwise felt from his unintentional release of power.
With his transformation complete, his pure strength seemed unchanged, but his combat power had significantly improved. After all, he had not been able to utilize his full strength before. This was not to say that his previous displays of power were weak, but the power he had accessed was not a unified whole, unlike now.
Of course, this was secondary. The transformation meant that from this point on, he could begin his Great Sky Meditation cultivation.
