Darkness is Coming

In the meeting room of the Jiangbei Provincial Party Committee Building, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, the Governor, the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, the Executive Vice Governor, the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Secretary-General, the Provincial Propaganda Minister, the Provincial Organization Minister, the United Front Work Minister and the Nandu Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Ping The secretaries of the city and municipal committees took their seats in strict order, and all the members of the provincial party committee were present.

   "Do you understand what Comrade Baining said now?"

   After Wang Baining, secretary of the Nandu Municipal Party Committee, reported on Nandu's preparations for the war, Du Xinlu, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, made a question.

"Secretary Du, Minister Shangguan, I would like to ask if the Nandu Military Region has the ability to... uh, wipe out this demonic tide in the southern capital? As far as I know, the comrades in the propaganda department have not yet, um, have not had time to destroy the demonic tide. Explain the matter to the people. If the magic tide flows in the province, it will inevitably cause immeasurable losses." The secretary of the Pingcheng Municipal Party Committee was the first to speak. The tide did not flow to other cities, such as Pingcheng under his rule.

   Facing the inquiries from everyone, Shangguan Jin, Minister of United Front Work, nodded and replied, "According to the information we have obtained so far, we are sure of the cooperation between the Yuanjian Society and the Awakened."

"Intelligence can also be wrong. We must prepare both hands, just in case." Governor Zheng Chengjie replied, "I think it is better to go through the deployment situation again. There are some deficiencies, and the police force in Nandu should also be used, and the pressure cannot be handed over to the military region, Comrade Baining, what do you think?"

Among the participants, Wang Baining, who was supposed to be the protagonist this time, was surprisingly silent. He only reported what he should do and never spoke again. At this time, after being asked by the governor, Wang Baining was still absent-minded, just nodded and said, "I agree. ."

   "I don't agree." Provincial Party Secretary Du Xinlu disagreed with provincial governor Zheng Chengjie. This is a well-known fact in Jiangbei officials, but this time his opposition to Zheng Chengjie was not out of political considerations.

"The magic tide is a monster, and it is more powerful than the biological weapons that the US Federation and the former Soviet Union have used. Our comrades at the police station are trained to arrest criminals and maintain law and order, not to fight wars. Whether it is training level or weapons Equipment, none of them meet the standard of confronting the demonic tide head-on." Du Xinlu shook his head and said, "Furthermore, when the demonic tide comes, we have to consider not only external enemies, but also internal troubles, and the police force in Nandu must be all focused on maintaining law and order. People with ulterior motives should not be allowed to fan the flames and create turmoil. Everyone knows the example of Yuanjiang City. When the dome came down, Yuanjiang was in chaos. If it wasn't for Comrade Liu Xie's decisive action... Oh, it's far away. , I don't think the Southern Metropolis Police Force needs to participate in the fight against the tide, what do you think?"

   The provincial party secretary objected to the governor's proposal, and what the rest of the people could think of, only had reservations. At this time, the secretary of the Pingcheng Party Committee asked another question: "Should the military sub-district send troops into the city to help maintain public order and stability in neighboring cities like Pingcheng and Jingcheng? Now many young people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and wait for the magic tide. When it comes suddenly, there will definitely be a lot of ghosts and snakes jumping out."

United Front Minister Shangguan Jin immediately objected: "The military region's forces must be placed in and around the southern capital, to ensure that the monster tide monsters are wiped out in the territory, and cannot be divided into other places. We cannot break up the front line, and we must concentrate our firepower quickly. If the battle is resolved quickly, if it is delayed for one more day, there will be many more unstable factors. I think we should learn from the Beijing side to deal with this issue.”

   "Shangjing's land area, permanent population, and floating population are much higher than those in Nandu, and there are hardware in Shangjing that Nandu does not have. I do not agree with Minister Shangguan's proposal." The executive vice governor shook his head in denial.

The conference room actually sounded arguing with each other, which was rare in the past, and even more rare is that the united front minister who was always the quietest in the provincial party committee team has now become the loudest one, arguing with others at every turn. An inseparable.

  Du Xinlu took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and wiped it gently with a mirror cloth. Hearing the arguing in his ears, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

  Du Xinlu's generation, who took over the land laid down by their parents, did not have personal experience of war. Even if some people have actively participated in the reform and opening up, reform is not a revolution after all.

  The central government doesn’t interfere in local affairs, but it shouldn’t interfere in the war. Du Xinlu desperately hopes that the central government can drop a commander-in-chief to share the burden on him, the provincial party secretary, but the central government named Yang Xiaoqian for him.

  Who is Yang Xiaoqian? A commoner, before the Yuanjiang Crisis, he was a student who had just graduated from high school. How could such a hairless kid shoulder such a heavy responsibility? Even if he is the president of the Far Rescue Association, who has made great achievements on the battlefield against corpses, he has only war experience, no experience in governing a province and a city. , in the end still want him Du Xinlu to take command personally.

Thinking of what Yang Xiaoqian had done in the past, Du Xinlu felt a shadow in his heart. Suddenly, the door of the conference hall was pushed open. Du Xinlu's secretary hurried over, whispered a few words in Du Xinlu's ear, and then handed out a A brick-like mobile phone. At the same time, Wang Baining's mobile phone received a text message from the secretary. Wang Baining opened the text message and glanced at it, his face changed drastically.

   "Playing the piano!" After Du Xinlu answered the phone, he slapped the conference table with a slap. The arguing provincial party committee team suddenly became silent and looked at Du Xinlu in surprise.

Secretary Du was a professor at Jiangbei University in his early years. Later, he embarked on the road of politics. He was Confucian, gentle, and never panicked when he encountered things, and he went forward and retreated in a moderate manner. This is the first time for all of you to see Secretary Du make such a big fire. Quiet it immediately and keep your mouth shut.

   "Wang Baining, you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, don't know about this kind of thing!" Du Xinlu pointed at Wang Baining with a fierce voice.

"Secretary Du, this is my dereliction of duty." Wang Baining's face was not good-looking, "I have never been able to intervene in the matter of the Yuanjiao Association, and the preparatory work for this concert was blocked by the staff of the Yuanjiu Association. The venue is under construction, and the external explanation is that the film "Far River! Far River!"... Secretary Du, do you want me to stop the concert?"

"No need." Du Xinlu shook his head and waved his hand, "Haili called just now, and Haili knows about this. Since he has only told us now, it means that Haili doesn't want us to interfere. Haili means to let him toss, hey! "

   Zheng Chengjie's eyes moved slightly. Du Xinlu's phrase "sea li" naturally refers to Zhongnan Haili. What is it that makes them lose their temper like this?

   Soon everyone in the council room got the latest news.

  The new internet celebrity, Zhang Xinyi, the goddess of the battlefield, temporarily announced that she will hold a solo concert at the Nandu Olympic Sports Center. The time, two days later.

   is when the magic tide comes.
