Anya glanced through the document for a while, but couldn't believe her eyes. She was equally shocked when she read it again, and stammered: "Leader, what's on this document...I'm just an ordinary person, with such a heavy responsibility. ..”

"In times of crisis, someone needs to find a way out for the group, and you are the pioneer." Li De interrupted Anya, both as an explanation and as an admonition, "No one is a natural leader, you proved that you are wholeheartedly for yourself Your compatriots have considered it and gained their trust, so you deserve it.”

"I...I didn't do this for power. I implore you to reconsider the candidate. The war is over, and I just hope to live as an ordinary citizen."

Anya still wanted to shirk, but Li De didn't want her to refuse: "Because you are not for power but still desperate, the parliament unanimously passed your nomination, and..."

"Are you worried about things with Marcus?"

Mentioning this matter made Anya blush to the base of her neck in an instant. Of course, she knew that it was Li De who forwarded the letters she wrote in those years to Marcus, but she didn't expect the leader to be so concerned about this matter.

"He is busy with his father, and the recovery period of the reconstruction operation is too important to spare, so why don't we take advantage of this time to improve the civil affairs system, otherwise how can I issue a marriage certificate to you two?"

Of course Li De was joking, but this trick is very useful for women. After all, he doesn't want to say that he has already researched and decided that it is you.So, just as Anya accepted the appointment, and the refugees were still discussing the future in full swing, when the calm subsided and the undercurrent surged, the parliament's whole set of combined punches hit the head and face——the beating made the ambitious people dizzy, and the onlookers were shocked. Surprised and rejoiced.

First of all, everyone in the base re-registered their identities. In addition to routine operations such as physical examinations and innocence investigations, DNA information was also collected and included in the files.This mandatory management system includes the Tiberium Earth soldiers under the parliament. The new household registration has no distinction between ethnicity and geography. There is only one common identity - human.

The guy who wants to divide the crowd is undoubtedly slapped heavily, but for the common people, the new identity system can transform the registered population from "resettlement" to "resident", and enjoy the dazzling high-tech social service system— ——As long as you have passed the socialized training and assessment, you can master the necessary rules and skills of the cyborg city in the future. In the smart nest of the base, each person in each family is allocated a living space of 50 square meters, and the application is free necessities of life.

This news exploded among the refugees in an instant, no less than the news of the victory of the war-oh my god, what kind of generosity is this, does the parliament have money and nowhere to spend it?

That's right, at present, it is not difficult for more than 50 people to provide a guaranteed and good life with the resources at the disposal of the Parliament.The seabed veins transport tens of thousands of tons of Tiberium deposits every day, excluding the cost of investing in military and scientific research systems, Li De will increase investment in people's livelihood.The most important thing about the Supreme Council is that the resources of the entire Sira are controlled by Li De. With the cooperation of advanced productivity, there are only 50 people, not as good as a small town in the old days. What's the problem?

"Sheng Mi En, Do Mi Chou, let them get it too easily, wouldn't it encourage their greed?"

On the spire of the shining pyramid-shaped intelligent hive capital, in the hall that belonged exclusively to the Supreme Council, Wu Wei frowned at this, and picked out several points of disapproval in succession.In his opinion, those soldiers who shed blood and died for the war deserve better treatment, otherwise, how can the status of the army be guaranteed in the future peaceful era?He is very worried that the parliament will go down the old road from now on. Although peace is good, he does not like rotten peace.

"This is just to establish a security system that a normal society should have, to establish our authority. It just so happens that what our technology can support is far from that. To be honest, this is a plan that has been cut several times."

Li De tapped the conference table with his fingertips, and the holographic image projected more document blueprints as proof: "As for the welfare trap you are worried about? It doesn't exist. All of this is based on the premise that they actively invest in civilization construction." Instead of free, they need to obey and contribute, and in return, we will give them safety and freedom. Moreover, the 'citizen system' we are about to adopt is even more related to their future."

"If it's just like this, it doesn't even reach the threshold of the first stage." Ensig raised his head on the side, and the chief scientist wondered, "What is the meaning of a personal future? The establishment of a country is just a matter of our necessary planning. Leader, is the future of our council limited to building a utopia in Thira?"

"Utopia? Of course not." Li De shook his head, his eyes penetrated the wall, and looked at the waters off the coast that were blocked by the navy, where a heartache of the parliament stayed.

"In this dark universe, there is no possibility of utopia."

Soon, the second big news also reached the future residents——

The leader announced that a series of people would be convened to participate in the first "ten-year plan" of the Supreme Council. The main topic of discussion was—

Upgrade the universe.

Chapter 82 Planning for the future

For more than a week, the new residents of the archipelago have been dizzy with a series of resettlement tasks. The council has given them very generous benefits, allowing them to live in a place where they can live, their work is rewarded, their children can be educated, and their elders can be educated. They have something to support, and this is not a blank check, but something that can be cashed immediately. In just a few days, their lives have been turned upside down from the industrial age to the cyber age.

This has undoubtedly brought about a huge cultural shock, especially for people who used to be free in the wilderness in the past. Faced with the need for ID chip verification to open a door in the smart nest city; Terminal application; the fully planned automated traffic inside the hive capital starts to operate on the hour and never waits for anyone; everything needs to be sent through the data link... Such a sense of the future almost drives them crazy, let alone in Tin City. It is a long step for people who have never touched any electronic equipment in this heavy industrial civilization to understand how to turn it on.

For this reason, Li De used his own experience to write a teaching VI to impart basic knowledge, and the feeling of feedback from big data is... You are teaching the elderly at home to use smart phones so earnestly, and you can't help it.

The first step in the performance of the cost of welfare is strict rules. People need to demand themselves to move forward steadily like a clock, because the regulations of the parliament are mandatory, and the newly launched credit system is linked to everyone's behavior. Li De will never Let the people crawl forward slowly, and he will urge them with a whip. If they don't want to, don't blame the council for the ruthless credit downgrade.

"Study, don't let us do anything, let us study every day!"

In the medical center of Hive City, a young man sat in front of the hospital bed and poured out bitterness on an old man—Xiao Dizi complained about what happened to him these days. Putting it in his head, and then doing a few days of operation training to stabilize the memory, it is very efficient but very busy.In order to make their group of illiterates during the war quickly become modern residents, the instructors in the training center were fierce. He wanted to get a chance to see a doctor in the hospital, but he worked hard to pass the exam before he got the chance.

Lao Dizi, who was injured by the shock wave because he was rushing to evacuate and protect civilians, was found in the medical center with high blood pressure, pulmonary edema, gastritis, enteritis, kidney failure and other fatal intractable diseases. The doctor has extracted his stem cells for organ clone transplantation preparation.The only interest of the old man in the medical center every day is to care about big things-so his son's complaints seem to him to have many mysteries hidden in them.

"I just found out that the food distributed is synthesized from algae protein in the ocean. It was fine at first, but if you eat too much, it will always have a gluey smell. Everyone wants to eat natural food, even sea fish, but the health quality inspection If it doesn’t pass, hydroponic agriculture needs to be built, and the trouble will die.”

Little Dizi kept talking, without even noticing that he was full of words he had never known before, causing his father to keep asking what "hydroponic agriculture" was. When he explained it, his father couldn't help but smile. He repeatedly patted his son on the shoulder and shouted: "Yes, yes, this is it. If you find a way to learn this thing well, you will have a bright future!"

The old man analyzed it with confidence, as follows: a lot of waste is waiting to be done, food is the most important thing, and he will apply to the parliament with his merits, and if his son learns the technology and opens a factory, won't he have a family business in the future?

An excited discussion was going on in the ward. Scenes like this abound in the base. Not only civilians, but also many former security soldiers started the trend of veterans starting businesses. Everyone knows that now is the time to fight for the future. No one wants to be left behind.

Such vitality made Dom, who was waiting in the corridor, full of emotions. He remembered the "future" he had talked about with Marcus. Now such a future has really come true, and everyone is fighting for it. Too calm?

I laughed at myself for "having no big ambitions" and was willing to be an ordinary civilian, but so what?Ordinary is the truth you most desire, as long as...

At this time, the door of the ward next to him opened, and a blond young female nurse walked out slowly. When she saw him, she suddenly called out in surprise: "Sergeant Dom?"

"?"

"It's me, Aisha. You escorted us back then. Without you and Liszt, I would have been eaten by orcs long ago!"

The girl was about to jump up for joy, but she immediately remembered that this was a hospital, so she quickly straightened her face.The reunion of the old man was full of emotions. Dom looked at the slim girl in a white nurse robe in front of him, and was surprised. He couldn't connect her with the miserable homeless person at all: "It seems that you were with me at the beginning. You're right, Parliament does what it says."

Aisha nodded, knowing that Dom was here to visit relatives, she quickly led him into the ward, and while telling him about the patient's condition, she suddenly became curious: "Mr. Dom, this Ms. Maria, is yours..."

"It's my wife."

As he approached the intensive care unit, Dom felt his heart was about to jump out. He needed to hold on to the wall even to walk. He blurted out when he heard Aisha's question, and then instantly noticed the envy on the girl's face—this made him He became interested for a while: "Oh, Aisha has a sweetheart, right?"

The girl blushed suddenly. Compared with Anna, Elsa looked like a little girl. Dom chuckled, and the tension in his heart subsided a little.One second before the ward opened, he sent his blessing to this junior——

"This is a good time, and you will surely be happy."

Then, he took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the ward.

"Maria..."

---

"It seems that even without a formal explanation from us, the citizens have already planned for the future."

With a wave of his hand, Li De closed the many holographic images hanging on the conference table, then sat upright in the prosthetic body, and said seriously: "The people have entrusted their hopes to us, how to coordinate the wishes of the people and the strategy of the parliament is a matter of course." This will be the first assessment you will face, Consul Anya~ Of course it will not be easy, the current system is being created, if there are difficulties, just discuss it in the parliament, it is not a bad thing to focus on it."

Anya got up, stood opposite the circular conference table and bowed to Li De.Now Anya has been promoted to a member of the parliament and has been hand-picked as a consul, who will be in charge of all civil affairs systems in the future.She wanted to report some more information, but at this moment, General Olivia, who was sitting on Li De's right, opened his eyes and said softly: "The participants have arrived."

At the end of the hall away from the conference table, with the sound of "ding" outside the door - the elevator arrived, and a group of pedestrians in uniform robes rose to the top floor under the escort of the black-handed apostle.There are men and women among them, some are excited and some are calm. After checking their identities, the black-handed high-level church wrapped in a black cloak and holding a saber nodded, and the two apostles pulled down the handle of the door together——

This is the top floor of the pyramid, the original office of the Supreme Council, and now it has been renovated again. A layer of white marble and black obsidian floors are laid on the original cold metal style, which reduces the chill and makes it more solemn. .There are no lamps, and the luminous tubes run along the floor, and the walls cross and converge to the ceiling. The soft light leaves no dark corners in the hall.

Metal obelisks are distributed around the hall, engraved with the deeds of the parliament, and in the changes of holographic light and shadow, visitors can see from here how the parliament built it step by step, and more obelisks It is still blank, waiting to be written - this is also Li De's design. At present, when there is a serious lack of past history, shaping a new view of history needs to be done from top to bottom.

This is the first time that the parliament hall is open to outsiders. Walking slowly along the artificial carpet, these unique decorations attract the attention of visitors—it seems to be a mixture of different artistic styles of the two planets, solemn but not old-fashioned, and Some of the sculptures on the walls seem to have stars as the background, with incomprehensible meanings.

Like, that thing that looks like an octopus... is it a spaceship?

The participants did not dare to comment lightly. Huge banners were lowered from the ceiling where they walked - all black, with a red cross-color background, and a picture of "Star Ring and Silver Winged Sword" in the middle, At the same time, the metal pillars on both sides of the carpet burst into faint blue flames, which seemed to be beating with their breathing.

The officer raised a hand to signal the crowd to stop.From this position, they could already clearly see the circular conference table and the man in black robe who was smiling at them in the chief seat.

That is the leader?A leader whose voice has been heard countless times by everyone, but who has never seen his true face?

"Respected leader, all participants have been brought here!"

Li De nodded, and Olivia raised her hand and said to the high-level church: "Thank you, Miles, the job of guarding will continue to be entrusted to you."

"my pleasure!"

The black hand guards bowed and stepped back, while Wu Wei, who was sitting on Li De's left hand, shrugged and looked at Olivia: "How about it, how about my guards standing guard for tomorrow's meeting?"

"Don't even think about it."

The two generals were bickering silently, while the chief scientist, Ensig, looked at his nose, his nose, and his heart, looking aloof from the world, but several people knew that his consciousness might still be in the laboratory, and he was not interested in today's meeting lack.

Now that the guests have arrived, even Li De should stand up to pay tribute, and his rise led to the rise of the entire Supreme Council, which made the visitors very panicked.

"Welcome to the council hall, everyone."

Li De spoke kindly, without putting on airs at all.The circular hall allowed his voice to enter everyone's ears clearly, and these people also bowed to the members of the Supreme Council sitting on the main seat.

"Everyone is a talent I personally selected, don't be nervous, time is tight, please take a seat." Li De waved his hand, and the seat in front of the table was automatically pulled back, and Anya, who came first, also nodded to a few acquaintances in the crowd. He nodded and pointed to the location.With her demonstration, the atmosphere in the venue was relaxed.

"Then, I hereby announce that the first session of the joint parliament is hereby opened."

PS: I have done a lot of setting, but I can never finish it.

The first half was just a different fate for Dom, a character I love.

Chapter 83 Planning for the future

The news that the first joint meeting was held on the top floor of the hive capital also attracted the attention of all residents, but for the base with no more than 50 people, anything can spread in an instant, as long as the council doesn't want it, then it doesn't exist Absolute information isolation.

People who have been airborne directly from the post-industrial age to the information age have tried to use network terminals to receive information, which is a new experience for them.Listening, understanding, and expressing opinions, although accompanied by the jerky and naive characteristics of the early Internet, the changes brought about are also very obvious-the parliament is by their side, and the administrative power is only one screen away from them. When dealing with the authority, the advantage is that the efficient response time can quickly settle the disputes of differences, but the disadvantage... I don’t know if it is a disadvantage, they will rely heavily on the guidance of the parliament, and they will be under management at any time.

As always, the public's complaints will never stop, but the parliament will ignore them and carry out the established policy unmoved.Many people also slapped the wearable terminal and cursed: "You have to control everything. There is no freedom at all. Give people the right to choose! I might as well go back to the wilderness!"

But immediately, he would blow the screen distressedly to see if it was damaged, and then laugh at himself-go back to be a homeless person, abandoning the absolutely safe and relatively comfortable life provided by the parliament?Any fool knows how to choose!

The lives of ordinary people are drawn in a circle, and they are encouraged and spurred. They will be tired, but they will also get a sense of accomplishment from hard work.It is an established policy not to let people be idle and have nothing to do. After learning, they will work. If there is no job, they will continue to train new social skills. Even if the war is over, it will still be in the stage of military control. Before becoming a qualified resident, this restriction will be Continuation, and fixed for decades of social culture.

The Natives of Thera are being reshaped from their decades-collapsed sociality, while the people from Tiberium Earth remain calm.For now, all the people on earth are in the military system. They consider themselves the absolute cornerstone of the parliament and have adapted to modern life early. Even if the future social development exceeds imagination, they still have a first-mover advantage.

The concept that the war is over is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When the former security soldiers put down their weapons and chose to return to society, the guard soldiers were completely unmoved, and they all looked forward to the rewards and restructuring of the army in the future.These veterans will undoubtedly have a future as an officer, and General Wu Wei, their protector, has inadvertently revealed some hints that staying in the army will have a greater future.

As for the black hand... No one knows what they are thinking, and ordinary people can't reach and see them-this is good for everyone, anyway, there are so many things going on at the moment, nothing can compare to the joint council that is going on at this time more important.

Just in these days, the parliament has selected many figures to grant the qualifications of interim members - among them are former national leaders who are loved by their people, such as General Milan who fought for the UIR people for life, and some were ordered to lead the evacuation of the people of Jasintu when they were in danger The organizers of the Joint Operations Center, the clean and experienced former members of security, and even the leaders of some large homeless camps and outstanding representatives of ordinary citizens, as long as they have not made bottom-line mistakes, the parliament will trust them and give The aborigines who forced themselves together took a reassurance that their rights would not be ignored by the parliament.

These people will become a joint power council that can jointly represent all people and accept the leadership of the Supreme Council. Although there is no media broadcast yet, no one knows what the meeting will be like, but the real-time release of the meeting minutes is enough to satisfy their imagination. force.

At the beginning of the meeting, the leader did not rush into the agenda, but told the history first.

He told the history of the two worlds frankly and frankly-it is not unheard of by the people of Sylla that the council is actually a human from another planet, but this is too sci-fi to accept.The opponent comes from a world with a higher level of civilization than oneself and occupies a dominant position. Although the reality is that the opponent saved himself, it is difficult not to arouse resistance.In the past, the parliament did not take the initiative to promote it, but now Li De is specifically comparing the history of the earth with Scylla in order to find common ground.

Human beings in the two worlds have the same original sin-infighting.

Nations, countries, cultures, beliefs, and interest groups have divided human beings with completely identical genes into hundreds of thousands of independent groups. This is of course objectively inevitable in history, and struggles have relatively promoted progress, but times have changed. The deformed prosperity brought about by internal strife planted the poisonous seeds of extinction, and the retribution came too fast—on the Tiberian Earth, the three wars attracted alien visitors, and the earth was destroyed. Only Li De brought a few survivors Made a difficult escape to Thira, enduring the great disgrace of losing their homeland (official lie).

As for Scylla, the pendulum war of more than 70 years has no winners. The exhausted human beings are counterattacked by their own creations and traitors. If it is not for the arrival of Li De, they will be extinct. (Another lie) These painful pains were just yesterday, everyone is a victim, and the wailing of the victims is still in front of our ears, how can we forget it?

"The struggle among human beings must stop! Times have changed, our enemy must not be each other, but the alien threat that may exist in every corner of this vast universe and may come at any time!"

Li De snapped his fingers and turned off the historical record of the holographic image—that was the scene he had actually experienced in the past. From the huge Sckin mothership in space orbit, it took only one catalytic cannon to destroy New York, a city of tens of millions of people. The sight of the metropolis razed to the ground stimulated the nerves of the participants.After experiencing the decisive battle of Jacinto, the parliamentary army (GDI), which was already extremely powerful in their hearts, was just slaughtered by aliens in the past, which frightened them, and what the leader seemed to express was actually very Simple.

Do you think you have experienced despair?Compared to what I've seen, it's just drizzle.And such terrible alien civilizations exist objectively, and one day they will come to you.

"The competition between species will be life and death with no way out. I believe you all know this. Compared with it, the disputes among human beings are not worth mentioning. So, everyone, how can we stop repeating the same mistakes and return people to peace? Can it wholeheartedly deal with future threats?"

He threw this question to the members present, and Olivia and others also looked at them.This is their first answer sheet, and if they answer wrong, they can disappear from the hall forever.

There is always only one answer, and everyone here is not a fool, and it was Anya and General Milan who handed in the answer first.

"Unite."

"Human unification."

The two spoke in unison almost at the same time, and they were very serious. All members of the House of Representatives seconded the proposal. Li De nodded in relief, knowing that he had not chosen the wrong person.

"To this day, we already have the best choice we have ever had. Never before has everyone realized that we human beings are a whole, an indivisible whole." General Milan crossed his hands on the desk. The lack of sampling made him feel a little uncomfortable, "The past sorrows and grievances have disappeared, but the friendship of fighting side by side is worth promoting."

Anya nodded: "That's right, regardless of any disputes, they should be regulated under the laws of the parliament. We must not tolerate those separatists who try to seek their own rights."

Someone took the lead, and the members of parliament began to express their opinions, some of whom were pragmatic but radical: "Propaganda alone is not enough! Eliminate differences as much as possible, regardless of language, region or origin, under the new order everyone is a blank slate, We should establish an extremely detailed law to maintain unity and eliminate possible threats from the fundamental level. I have seen many times, thugs and hypocrites are best at doing things from the edge of morality!"

Such remarks violated the basic freedom of thought in the past, but Li De stopped the possible controversy in the venue in advance, and glanced at this slightly younger man, but he was firm in his opinion.

"Sieg Fried? I heard that you used to be the head of the Security Police Department, but later your functions were completely replaced by the secret service." Li De said to him gently, and by the way let this person probably be The angry police officer who recalled the past sat down first.

"However, the enactment of laws will be a long-term process, and there are still many principles to be established, which will affect the whole body. It cannot be completed in one or two discussions."

When the meeting was halfway through, Li De first made a summary, and having obtained enough confirmation, he stood up and turned on the recorder:

"Through the unanimous approval of all members of the United Council, I hereby publish the general outline of the Declaration of the United Human Powers Council, which is also the primary principle of all actions of the Federation in the future—that is, unity is the first priority of mankind!

Taking history as a guide, the Parliament is well aware that the old-age politics in which parties fight against each other and conquer each other is the source of people's suffering. It makes us human beings unable to unite as a whole, resulting in internal friction and inability to deal with crises.Parliament does not judge the wrongs of the past in the light of the present, but we are willing to learn and times have changed and humanity needs and deserves to be united in order to secure peace and pursue happiness and to ensure that our future is never in jeopardy crisis.

This declaration will inform all soldiers and civilians - human beings, never civil war!And all separatists who violate the interests of the entire people, regardless of their purpose, means, or reasons, are the public enemies of the entire parliament and its people!

Our peace today comes from innumerable sacrifices. Only by living up to the blood of martyrs, and only by unremitting pursuit of progress can we open up a broad road for mankind in this era of change.Therefore, I declare that the United Council shall be reorganized into the United Human Powers Council, which shall exercise all civil powers on behalf of the Supreme Council.From then on, there will be no borders or differences between human beings. We will unite as one, shine the light of civilization on the earth, and let human beings stand among the stars forever.

May peace bless mankind. "
