Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

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 indeed a bit busy."

"They all invite others to serve?"

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

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

Gu Yun looked at Wang Tao seriously.

Wang Tao spoke directly.

"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..."

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 'major blood change'..."

"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..."

"The committee actually passed it?"

"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 be assassinated. It will affect the operation of the base. And some important positions in the base must be filled by people with special powers, especially those of you who are powerful and are not afraid of assassinating the awakened ones!"

"Although everyone is 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 once. If such an assassination occurs in the future, it will have a great impact on the base. The impact will definitely grow!”

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

"Oh, by the way, because I just took over Mayor Yao's work 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 other people's reasons - many people are worried about whether they will be killed by their opponents when 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..."

Gu Yun sighed, and then explained carefully.

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

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!

"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... "

"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?"

"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..."

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

"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!”

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

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

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 people with 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!

In other words, if the awakened people can be held in important positions in the city hall today, 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 people serve as 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 even do not hesitate to touch the committee's interests in order to reform. Wang Tao thinks they are very talented.

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

Wang Tao had to admire his courage!

Although, Wang Tao also thinks that this reform path is right - after all, when the strength of superpowers becomes stronger in the future, they will definitely feel that these weak people are not qualified to order strong people, and they will not even need to do so in the future. , there should be many people who have this idea now - but you know, after all, this is a matter that affects vital interests!

If they pass this resolution, it means that they may be replaced by someone stronger! It is indeed very courageous for people like them who are already at the top of the base to be willing to pass such a resolution.

This illustrates a problem - they are not thinking about themselves, but the entire base!

However, Gu Yun also said just now that the committee passed this decision with a slight advantage of one vote. Obviously, at least half of the committee members are not willing to pass this decision - wait, they have a total of 23 committee members, but they only have one more vote, which means that 12 committee members voted in favor...

Wang Tao suddenly 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 either. He knew what Wang Tao was talking about.

"really!"

Wang Tao suddenly understood.

He said how could these committee members be so courageous and aware, and willing to sacrifice their own interests for the sake of the base! So that’s it—

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

So in other words, the 12 committee members who agreed are all members of the six major legions!

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

Wang Tao sincerely admires that most people cannot be selfless, including Wang Tao himself, but they can do it!

Of course, although their personal strength is not strong, the six legions are ridiculously strong. With the six legions here, even if the awakened ones want to deal with them and replace them, they have to make careful considerations. So they don't have to worry about being replaced so quickly now. They are preparing in advance for the future of the base...

"The future development of the base still depends on powerful awakeners like you! Please make sure Mr. Wang comes to serve in the city hall!"

Gu Yun looked at Wang Tao seriously.

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

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

Although this resolution was passed, there were still 11 committee members who opposed it. If Gu Yun wants to implement this policy in the future, it will most likely not go smoothly, 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 gained their current status with the fruits of their own labor.

Objectively speaking, they have indeed brought a lot of benefits to the development of the base and deserve a lot of credit.

But after the committee made this decision, these people will be asked to leave their posts and retire directly... Even if the remuneration after retirement is very generous, it still feels a bit like killing the donkey. After all, no matter how generous the remuneration is, it cannot be compared to what is in hand. real power.

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

So it is normal for them not to want to retire. After all, not everyone has a selfless heart. These people are considered "traditional forces".

Now these powerful superpowers and awakened people belong to the "new forces".

The waves behind the Yangtze River 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 is just a matter of time. But... isn't it still early!

Besides, as long as they can stay in their position for a long time and find ways to get all kinds of good things through their own rights, they might be able to awaken and become a new force!

The so-called traditional forces and new forces are not the focus. The focus is one's own power, identity and status.

Wang Tao's goal is very clear, which is to become stronger and his own strength will continue to grow! And if you become stronger, you will be able to have any status.

But this is not necessarily the case for others. After all, becoming powerful is dangerous, and you might die outside one day. If you can hold a good position in the base, you can usually go to work, fish, and receive gifts. Occasionally, you can still Wouldn't it be nice to have some unspoken rules for your subordinates?

Therefore, this reform matter is destined to cause a big disturbance, and both new forces and traditional forces will fight for their own interests. Gu Yun may feel that he is a little out of control. He needs powerful allies, such as Wang Tao...

Wang Tao is not optimistic about those traditional forces. He believes that strength speaks for itself. Although you need to abide by the rules in the base, if you don't abide by the rules, for example, if you, an awakened person, kill someone on the street, you will also be judged. Although you are strong, the six legions are not vegetarians, and the current awakened ones cannot withstand bullets.

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

However, Gu Yun was still a little unsure. Wang Tao could also guess the reason for his lack of confidence, because he was only a third-level superpower user.

Theoretically speaking, only those who are awakened or those who have the potential to awaken can be called new forces. Gu Yun is actually considered a traditional force because he is neither an awakened person nor one with the potential to awaken. He must have wanted to become an awakened person in his heart, but he also knew that he would not have any chance in a short time. So he needs Awakened allies to give him confidence...

"Then what positions do you have here?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

This meant asking Gu Yun where he planned to serve.

“There are so many positions now!”

Gu Yun immediately brought a notebook and wrote down a lot of them, both important and ordinary, but most of the positions had names after them.

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

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

"Well, this is just my plan. It's definitely not possible to change everything for the time being. I can only take it slowly. I personally think you can hold this position again..."

Gu Yun pointed out some important positions that are currently occupied.

Gu Yun obviously has his own little thoughts. If Wang Tao chooses this, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as transferring the conflict to Wang Tao. However, he said it directly and did not deliberately deceive people. After all, these are important positions.

Wang Tao didn't care if there was anyone, he didn't believe anyone would dare to trip him up, but he really wasn't interested.

But at the end, when Wang Tao found a temporarily vacant position, he thought for a moment, then pointed:

"Then I'll give you some face, and that's it."

"Huh? The principal of Changhe Awakening School? This is a project that is still under planning. It is not certain whether the committee will approve it..."

Gu Yun suddenly frowned.

"It doesn't matter, that's it."

Wang Tao waved his hand.

He came to "work" for the city hall, which already gave Gu Yun a lot of face, so he couldn't choose a place where it was easy to fish? Of course, the focus is not on fishing, but on Wang Tao’s abilities, which seem to be put to good use here...
