Chapter 227 Development Direction

A few days after Xiao Jingyue left Ludong Province, he hurried back to Beijing.

Although Beijing is now recovering in an orderly manner under the strong efforts of the government, it is not much better than other cities.

The day Xiao Jingyue returned to Beijing, he happened to catch up with a high-level meeting concerning the future development direction of China.

So, he didn't even bother to go home, and rushed straight to the venue with his entourage.

The moment Xiao Jingyue stepped into the conference room, several people who had been waiting there quickly stepped forward and shook hands and hugged this old friend whom they had not seen for a long time.

The reunion after the end of the world filled everyone's hearts with emotion, and their eyes couldn't help but slightly red.

One of the elderly men with equally gray hair was the first to joke, "I thought you died out there."

Xiao Jingyue responded with a smile: "You are still strong, how can I bear to leave first."

After saying that, the two hugged each other tightly.

This gray-haired old man is Lin Xiao’s grandfather, Li Congrong, who is also one of the top military officials in China.

When the natural disaster began, he was placed in a secret base in Beijing, while Xiao Jingyue received a mission to go to the aircraft carrier for patrol.

Xiao Jingyue entrusted his wife to Li Congrong, who was both his good friend and relative.

Xiao Jingyue asked with concern: "How are Yuzhen and Jinghua? Are they all right?"

Zhou Yuzhen is Xiao Jingyue’s wife, and Lin Xiao’s grandmother; Wang Jinghua is Li Congrong’s wife, and Lin Xiao’s grandmother.

Li Congrong said quickly, "Everything is fine. Although Yuzhen doesn't say it, she is always thinking about you in her heart."

Xiao Jingyue then asked, "Have Zhenhua and the others ever come back?" Li Zhenhua is Li Congrong's son and Lin Xiao's uncle.

Li Congrong looked a little serious, and said slowly: "I came back once a year ago, and I was so thin that I looked unrecognizable. The situation in Henan Province is really not optimistic."

While the two were chatting, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open, and an old man with strong features and gray hair walked in with steady and powerful steps.

He looked around at everyone with a sharp gaze. When he saw Xiao Jingyue, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, Lao Xiao, you're back too. You came at the right time."

After the old man took his seat at the main seat, everyone else took their seats in order.

The old man said in a serious tone, "The environment has gradually stabilized. We understand that in addition to the official bases, there are also many private bases. If you have any ideas about the future development of these bases, please feel free to speak up."

Someone took the lead in proposing: "Why not cancel all base systems and restore the original provincial system. The original political system is relatively complete, and it can be implemented quickly with a slight adjustment on its basis."

Then, someone else expressed his opinion: "In my opinion, it is better to continue to retain the existing base system, but only retain the official bases, merge all private bases into the official bases, and manage them uniformly by the official."

Most people agreed with this proposal. After all, the establishment of the official bases was based on the original provincial planning, but some bases involved two provinces.

Everyone spoke one after another and expressed their own opinions. Although their statements were different, the core purpose was the same, that is, no matter what form it existed in, it must be managed by the Chinese government.

Xiao Jingyue just listened quietly without saying a word.

After everyone finished speaking, the old man sitting at the head seat turned his eyes to him and said, "Old Xiao, everyone has talked about their opinions, you should also talk about your ideas."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyue sat up straight, looked around calmly, and said slowly: "My idea is that the official base and the private base can coexist."

After speaking, Xiao Jingyue paused for a moment and observed everyone's reactions.

After a brief silence that lasted for three seconds, someone raised a question: "Old Xiao, this may not be appropriate. If private bases coexist with official bases, and if they are allowed to grow and develop, it may not be easy for the government to take over again in the future."

Xiao Jingyue looked calm and responded calmly: "Whether it is a private base or an official base, they are all part of China after all.

The situation you are worried about is indeed possible, but for now, even if it is under unified management by China, what kind of strong support and constructive suggestions can we give them immediately?

The current environment seems stable, but who can guarantee that there won’t be a more severe situation in the future? When the official base can no longer bear the burden, private bases will still emerge.”

After hearing what Xiao Jingyue said, everyone fell silent. They knew that what Xiao Jingyue said was not without reason. At this stage, it was obviously not a wise move to carry out drastic reforms and integration.

Xiao Jingyue continued to elaborate: “Moreover, the governance level of some private bases is no worse than that of official bases.

Along the way, I inspected many bases, large and small. The condition of some official bases was so bad that it was beyond imagination. This was despite the continuous resource support provided by the Chinese government.

The founders of those private bases that have survived to this day must have possessed certain strengths, otherwise how could they have survived the apocalypse?

There is one more thing I need to report to you all. I have removed the military leader of the Ludong No. 3 official base and several bad apples under his command, and merged the Ludong No. 3 official base into a local private base, the Peninsula Base."

Xiao Jingyue's first sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples, and the following sentence was like a blockbuster bomb, which instantly made everyone explode, and they all looked at Xiao Jingyue in disbelief.

Everyone knows that Xiao Jingyue is a steady and prudent person, and is definitely not a reckless person. A major change must have happened for him to make such a decision.

So, Xiao Jingyue briefly described the situation of the Ludong No. 3 official base and the current status of the peninsula base.

After hearing this, everyone was silent. Now they understood why Xiao Jingyue supported the coexistence of official bases and private bases.

At the end, Xiao Jingyue added: "My grandson is also one of the leaders of the Peninsula Base."

Xiao Jingyue did not intend to hide this news. After all, the truth would eventually be known to everyone.

Firstly, everyone present here are his colleagues and friends for many years; secondly, he does not want to be accused of favoritism and fraud in the future.

Hearing this, Li Congrong was so excited that he stood up from his seat and asked loudly: "Old Xiao, are you telling the truth?"

Everyone was slightly startled when they heard this. Everyone present knew Xiao Jingyue's past. His son and daughter-in-law died heroically for the country, and his only grandson was lost for many years. Now he was finally found, which was really gratifying.

Xiao Jingyue nodded solemnly and said, "It's true, absolutely true."

He did not mention the chromosome test. After all, having such technology in a private base in such a difficult environment at the end of the world is likely to lead to a lot of speculation.

The old man sitting in the first seat couldn't help but nod and said with emotion: "It's good to find it, it's good to find it."

Everyone discussed the matter for a while, and since such important decisions could not be finalized in one meeting, the meeting ended.
