Chapter 416 New and Old Forces

After Wang Tao arrived at the city hall, he happened to meet Gu Yun sending a group of people downstairs. Among this group of people, several are awakened persons from various major forces.

Wang Tao was not familiar with them, so when they met, they nodded slightly to show hello.

After a while, Gu Yun came back again.

"Mr. Wang, please come upstairs!"

"Mayor Gu is very busy today!"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Hey, what mayor! Acting mayor, acting mayor!" Gu Yun waved his hand, and then said, "I made appointments with a lot of awakened people today, and plus dealing with disaster relief matters, I am really a bit busy."

"They all invite others to serve?"

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

"That's right! Please sit down..."

Gu Yun took Wang Tao to his mayor's office and personally made Wang Tao a cup of hot tea.

"You know, I don't have any interest in serving on City Hall or anything like that."

Wang Tao spoke directly.

"Hey, the situation now is different from before. Don't refuse in a hurry. Just listen to what I have to say..."

Gu Yun sighed, and then explained carefully.

"The impact of Mayor Yao's death is far greater than I expected. For example, the fact that I can become the acting mayor is something I never expected before..."

"Although the City Hall announced that Mayor Yao died accidentally, many people know that the matter is not that simple. There is a high probability that Mayor Yao was assassinated..."

"Even the highest administrator in the base can be easily assassinated. What do you think other officials will think? Anyone who can hang out in the city hall has many enemies! So in the past two days, everyone in the city hall has been quite angry. The feeling of self-danger..."

"Oh, by the way, because I just took over Mayor Yao's job and my own lack of ability... so my work efficiency is far inferior to Mayor Yao. I admit this, but I have to explain why efficiency is so low. This reduction is not only due to me, but also to others - many people are worried about being killed by their opponents while performing tasks, so they do not work hard after all, Mayor Yao is still at home. , they all froze to death in the snow in the yard for no apparent reason, and they need to brave the wind and snow to carry out their tasks. If there is any accident, they will definitely follow in the footsteps of Mayor Yao..."

"Although people are afraid of death, it is understandable. But it obviously affects the work efficiency of the city hall. And since the assassination is the first of its kind, it will definitely not be just one time. If such an assassination occurs in the future, it will have a great impact on the base. The impact will definitely grow! ”

"So it's better to replace the people now, and let ordinary people do small jobs honestly. Although the upper limit is not high, at least there are few conflicts, and there is no need to worry about being assassinated - even if they are really assassinated, they will not It will affect the operation of the base, and some important positions in the base must be filled by superpowers, especially those of you who are powerful and are not afraid of assassinating the awakened ones!"

"If you are allowed to hold important positions, I believe no one will dare to take action against you, right? Taking a step back, even if someone really wants to pull out the tiger's teeth, it will definitely not be possible silently. As long as he makes some noise, then he will Can’t run away!”

"So... please! After all, we are all part of the base, and we should contribute to the base! You may not know how many people have died in the past two days just because of Mayor Yao's death... "

Gu Yun looked at Wang Tao seriously.

After listening to Gu Yun's words, Wang Tao didn't know what to say for a while.

In his old age, he has never seen someone begging to be an official like this... But I have to say that what Gu Yun said makes sense. If someone is assassinated next time, causing the base to be paralyzed all of a sudden, it will be a very dangerous situation for the entire base. It is better to let some strong people take up important positions now, so that even if they are inferior in work ability, at least it will not cause the base to be paralyzed!

But understanding is all understanding, Wang Tao still has some problems.

"What I'm more curious about is, if it really turns out to be what you said, with people with superpowers taking up key positions in the base, then this would be a major blood change! Can such a big thing be accomplished overnight?"

There is a hidden meaning in Wang Tao's words, and that is the issue of distribution of interest groups - although people are afraid of death and do not work hard, it does not mean that they are willing to leave this position!

After this disagreement, the person was replaced. How could he be willing?

Gu Yun obviously knew what Wang Tao meant, and he immediately whispered:

"This matter is definitely not that simple, but it is a foregone conclusion, even if there are objections - to tell you the truth, the committee has been arguing for two days about this matter! In the end, with a slight advantage of one vote, Finally passed the resolution of 'big blood change'..."

"The committee actually passed it?"

Wang Tao suddenly looked surprised.

"That's for sure! If the committee hadn't passed the resolution and issued specific instructions, I wouldn't have dared to invite so many superpowers to hold important positions!"

Gu Yun said immediately.

"That's it..."

Wang Tao originally thought that this was just Gu Yun's idea, or the idea of ​​Gu Yun and other senior officials of the city hall. After all, theoretically, the mayor of the base is qualified to appoint all positions in the base except the committee... But Unexpectedly, the committee actually voted to pass it!

He remembered that there seemed to be no awakened people among these 23 committee members, right?

In the eyes of the awakened, in terms of strength alone, these committee members are no different from ordinary people!

That is to say, if the awakened can take up important positions in the city hall today, then wouldn’t they be able to directly become committee members tomorrow?

After all, the personal strength of these committee members is not strong. If they are assassinated, wouldn’t it affect the development of the base? Then wouldn’t it be more reasonable to let the awakened be the committee members...

That’s why Wang Tao was so surprised.

If this is just the idea of ​​Gu Yun and the city hall, it means that they are willing to touch the interests of the committee for the sake of reform. Wang Tao thinks they are very brave.

But if this is the decision of the committee members, then this is not only a reform, but also the committee has cut itself first! Because they are vested interests!

Wang Tao couldn’t help but admire their courage!

Although Wang Tao also thinks that this reform path is right-after all, when the strength of the superpowers is generally strong in the future, they will definitely think that these weak people are not qualified to command the strong people, and even before the future, there should be many people who have this idea-but knowing is knowing, after all, this is a matter that affects their vital interests!

If they pass this resolution, it means that they may be replaced by stronger people! They are already at the top of the base, and they are willing to pass such a resolution. They are really bold.

This shows a problem - they are not considering themselves, but the entire base!

However, Gu Yun just said that the committee passed this decision with a slight advantage of one vote. Obviously, at least half of the committee members are unwilling to pass this decision - wait, they have a total of 23 committee members, but only one more vote, which means that 12 committee members voted in favor...

Wang Tao frowned and looked at Gu Yun.

"Which 12 committee members agreed? Could it be..."

Gu Yun didn't say anything because it was confidential, but he didn't deny it. He knew what Wang Tao was talking about.

"Sure enough!"

Wang Tao suddenly realized.

He said how these committee members were so bold and conscious, willing to sacrifice their own interests for the base! So it was like this -

There are 23 committee members in the base, and each of the six legions has 2 committee members, so there are a total of 12 committee members in the six legions! The remaining 11 committee members are distributed among other forces.

So that means, the 12 members who agreed are all from the six legions!

At this critical moment, these ideologically conscious old comrades are indeed reliable!

Wang Tao sincerely admired that most people could not be selfless, including Wang Tao himself, but they did it!

Of course, although their individual strength is not strong, the six legions are ridiculously strong. With the six legions, even if the awakened want to deal with them or replace them, they have to think twice. So they don’t have to worry about being replaced so quickly now. They are preparing for the future of the base in advance...

"The future development of the base still depends on you powerful awakened people! Mr. Wang, please come to the city hall to serve!"

Gu Yun looked at Wang Tao seriously.

Looking at Gu Yun's sincere expression, Wang Tao fell into deep thought.

After he understood these things, he probably understood why Gu Yun always wanted him to serve. It was probably because of the other 11 members.

Although this resolution was passed, there are still 11 committee members who oppose it. If Gu Yun wants to implement this policy in the future, it is highly likely that it will not be so smooth, so Gu Yun needs someone to support him!

Now in various positions in the city hall, those who are weak but still hold important positions have contributed to the base since its establishment. Most of them have earned their current status and position with the fruits of their labor.

Objectively speaking, they have indeed brought a lot of benefits to the development of the base and have made great contributions.

But after the committee made this decision, these people will be asked to leave their positions and retire directly... Even if the treatment after retirement is very generous, it still feels a bit like killing the donkey after it has done its work. After all, no matter how generous the treatment is, it is not as good as the real power in their hands.

And to be honest, they are also a little aggrieved, because no one knew that there was such a thing as awakening at that time. Did they not want to awaken? They were just unlucky!

So it is normal that they are unwilling to retire. After all, not everyone has a selfless heart. They are considered "traditional forces".

And now these powerful superpowers and awakeners belong to "new forces".

The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the new forces are destined to beat the traditional forces to death on the beach. It's just a matter of time. But... it's still too early!

Besides, as long as they can stay in their positions for a long time and find ways to get all kinds of good things through their power, they may be able to awaken and then transform into new forces!

The so-called traditional forces and new forces are not the focus, the focus is on their own power, identity and status.

Wang Tao's goal is very clear, that is, to become stronger, and his own strength continues to grow! And if his own strength is strong, he will have any status.

But it's not necessarily the case for others. After all, becoming strong is dangerous. Maybe one day he will die outside. If he can hold a good position in the base, he can go to work, fish, accept gifts, and occasionally have unspoken rules for his subordinates. Isn't it wonderful?

Therefore, in this reform, it is bound to cause a big storm, and both new forces and traditional forces will fight for their own interests. Gu Yun may feel that he is somewhat out of control, and he needs powerful allies, such as Wang Tao...

Wang Tao is not optimistic about those traditional forces, and he believes that everything should be based on strength. Although you need to abide by the rules in the base, if you do not abide by the rules, for example, if you, an awakener, kill someone in the street, you will also be judged. Although you are strong, the six major legions are not vegetarians, and the current awakeners cannot withstand bullets.

But as long as you are strong, you can completely avoid the so-called rules! Yao Guodong's backstab is a good example. The murderer has not been caught until now-of course, he will be caught by Wang Tao soon because the murderer is not strong enough.

However, Gu Yun is still a little unconfident. Wang Tao can also guess the reason for his unconfidence, because he is just a third-level mutant.

Theoretically, awakeners or people with awakening potential can be called new forces. Gu Yun is actually a traditional force because he is neither an awakener nor has awakening potential. He definitely wants to become an awakener, but he also knows that he has no chance in a short time. So he needs the awakener allies to give him confidence...

"What positions do you have here?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

This means to ask where Gu Yun plans to let him work.

"There are so many positions now!"

Gu Yun immediately took out a notebook and wrote a lot of them densely, both important and ordinary, but most of the positions have names behind them.

"Good guy, you are planning to give the city hall a big change!"

Wang Tao was a little surprised. Although he thought that the traditional forces would be replaced slowly, if so many people were replaced at once, wouldn't it be too much? Let's not talk about whether they are willing or not. Of course, they can be forced to change if they don't want to, but the question is, can they manage the base well if so many people are suddenly replaced?

"Well, this is just my plan. It is definitely impossible to change them all for the time being. I can only take it slowly. I personally think you can take this position again..."

Gu Yun pointed out some important positions, which are currently occupied.

Gu Yun obviously had his own thoughts. If Wang Tao chose this, to some extent, it would be considered to transfer the contradiction to Wang Tao. But he said it directly, without deliberately cheating people. After all, these are important positions.

Wang Tao doesn't care whether there are people or not. He doesn't believe that anyone dares to trip him up, but he really has no interest.

But at the end, after Wang Tao found a temporarily vacant position, he thought for a while, and then pointed and said:

"Then I'll give you a face, this is it."

"Hmm? The principal of Changhe Awakening School? This is a project still in the planning stage. It's not certain whether the committee will approve it or not..."

Gu Yun frowned immediately.

"It doesn't matter, this is it."

Wang Tao waved his hand.

He came to "work" for the city hall, which was already a great honor for Gu Yun. So he had to choose a place where it was easy to slack off? Of course, the point is not to slack off, but Wang Tao's ability, which seems to be able to play out here...
