Chapter 102 - 102: 102: Complex National Situation
Yao Zhenguo, Li Mingzhi, and a number of the nation’s strategists, all sat in this sealed hall.
Li Mingzhi was the first to speak, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the issue we are discussing today is about uncontrolled bases …”
“In our Hua Nation, there are currently 66 large gathering bases, of which only 30 are under our control …”
“The other 36 have been controlled by awakened superpower holders…”
“The other 36 have been controlled by awakened superpower holders…”
These 36 gathering bases, some ignore commands, some replaced their personnel early on.
Among them, twenty are not far from Shuchuan and are inhabited by city dwellers. These people voluntarily gathered in various parts of Shuchuan.
After all, they either lived within Shuchuan or not far from it, with the highest chance of discovering the effects of the Dawn Stone. Knowing these purified places, they all gathered together out of spontaneity.
However, these gathering places, devoid of military force, are all ruled by the Superpowered, forming their own factions, ruling independently, and not worrying.
Li Mingzhi continued, “In addition to these large gathering bases, there are also 134 small gathering points, mostly because of the presence of the Dawn Stone in natural mountains, which caused them to gather. These people have all more or less developed some weird beliefs…”
Skystone Village, which Du Gang and others passed by, was one of them. By coincidence, the total number of large and small gathering places is exactly two hundred.
“The average population of large gathering bases is about 300,000. The total population of the 66 large bases is less than 20 million.”
“The 134 small gathering points have populations ranging from 1,000 to 100,000, with a total population of roughly over 5 million…”
At this point, a strategist asked, “How many people do we have here?”
Li Mingzhi replied, “Our civil aviation has more than four thousand planes, and it has transported nearly a million people to the Arctic Circle, most of whom are ordinary people…”
“There are about ten thousand military planes that have transported a total of two million people, including all kinds of technical talents, officials from various places, and elite individuals…”
“So, there are about 3 million people of Hua Nation left in the Arctic Circle. In the first few days of arrival, some people accustomed to comfort couldn’t adapt to the extreme cold weather…approximately more than 50,000 people froze to death…”
Deaths from the cold were inevitable. The Arctic Circle, although in perpetual daylight with no night time, always remains below freezing.
In the first few days of arrival, just excavating ice houses was too much for many people.
“Understood, that is to say, the total population of the Hua Nation is only about 28 million people left!”
This is even less than the previous estimation of 5% survivors!
At most, there are only 2% of survivors!
The questioning strategist then asked, “How many soldiers do we have here?”
“100,000 people!”
The disaster happened so suddenly at the time that many emergency measures were not used.
Humans have taken many disaster response measures.
These include responses to alien invasions, nuclear wars, meteor attacks, and so on.
However, there has never been a response measure that involves fleeing to the Arctic.
This barren land, which has always been used only as a scientific research observation point, no one ever thought of settling down in such a ghostly place.
Another strategist asked, “What is the current attitude of these two hundred gathering places?”
“Not to mention the bases under our control, the other 36 large bases acknowledge that they are of Hua Nation, but do not accept our special
The rulers of these 36 bases have long gone rogue after several reshuffles, knowing that the people in the Arctic Circle can’t control them, so they don’t care much about their commands.
Li Mingzhi helplessly said, “They have figured out our attitude. They know we will not attack casually…”
After all, these 36 large bases are still in human control, at least they stand as human refuge.
To expel the control of the Arctic circle and then use nuclear weapons to level it, that’s the style of Western countries, Hua Nation would never do that!
Without the use of nuclear weapons, the forces of the Arctic circle are not enough to reclaim these bases.
For other Military Districts, they also sent people to test the waters. Those people felt tremendous pressure just defending their own base, let alone sending troops to other places.
Li Mingzhi still had some things he didn’t say.
Some of the other 30 bases had also begun to change their attitudes and had started to differ on some issues.
One of the strategists spread out his hands, “There’s no help for it. After all, in many places, plenty of people have experience within the system. They often interpret the implications from above and can mostly make correct inferences.”
Yao Zhenguo nodded, saying, “This is also the reason I called all of you here, about the relationship between our Hua Nation and the various bases …”
He had no choice at this point. On one hand, he had humanity’s wellbeing to consider, needing to preserve the spark of humanity. On the other hand, there was the issue of secession. Even though it was after the apocalypse, it was still a disturbing matter.
“For now, indeed there is no better solution!”
The strategist shook his head, “Since it’s impossible to centralize powerr at this moment, I suggest we temporarily decentralize, granting each locale self-rule rights. However, they must acknowledge the Hua Nation and promise that after the apocalypse, they will re-converge and unify . He can’t keep things under control, so he has to let go!
“I second this!”
“I second this!”
The other strategists had also anticipated these matters, and they understood what he was saying.
Li Mingzhi interjected, “Then we need to keep this news hidden from the bases still under our control…”
“It won’t be hidden for long; they are all in Shuchuan, which is not too far away. They might just get in contact one day…”
“But what can we do about it? We can only hide it for one more day!”
Any country can maintain unity and stability, only because the central government holds enough military force to suppress everything.
Without power, all laws are nothing, they’re like castles in the air.
This has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty. Whoever holds the power, holds the righteousness …
“Is there anything else? If not, I will end today’s meeting here …”
“There is! General, South Harbour City is currently under the rule of a woman named Ming Yuwei. Our planes that were sent there, including the pilots, were all brainwashed by her agents; there were even a few women who came to the Arctic circle here trying to control more people ..
“However, they have been discovered and all arrested!”
Yao Zhenguo frowned and said angrily, “She’s got a lot of nerve!”
From the time that there were Superpowered beings with the capability to control the hearts and minds of others, he felt that the future would become uncontrollable, he just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
This woman actually dared to make a move on the Arctic Circle. What does she
want to do?
Dominate the world?
Create a kingdom of women and eunuchs?
“Moreover, that woman should have noticed that her people have been arrested…
“They’re currently mixed in among the common people, making our modern weaponry useless as it can’t be used casually!”
“Is a coup feasible?”
“It’s unlikely. The entire city is under control. Any unfamiliar faces that go in would be discovered immediately. If there’s a direct landing in the city, they have no small number of superpower holders …”
Li Mingzhi shook his head. From the time Ming Yuwei showed her ambitions, he had people closely watching her and even consulted with a strategist.
With the power currently in the Arctic circle, it would be difficult to handle the situation unless they send Du Gang!
After all, the real military power on the Arctic circle side is not much. Even nuclear weapons, they only brought tactical ones with small yield.
Most strategic nuclear weapons are all in the hands of each major Military District!
“Combined with the reports about the Dark Will, we suspect that South Harbour City has fallen under the control of the evil god .
Yao Zhenguo pondered for a while, then said, “Consolidate the information related to South Harbour City and send it to the other bases, to alert them …”
“Should those 36 bases also be sent?”
“Send it, after all, they’re still humans.. We can’t just hand them over to an evil god!”
