Versatile Mage: Evolving from the One-eyed Wolf
Chapter 349 349, Shao Zheng's decision
Dong Shou didn't need to say anything more. Just by seeing his embarrassed appearance and the number of court mages, the high-level officials of Longguo and others understood what they had experienced. With such heavy losses, Dong Shou would inevitably be held accountable.
In the conference hall, the atmosphere was as depressing as the calm before the storm, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Shao Zheng's face was gloomy, and he was the first to break the silence: "Dong Shou, tell me in detail what happened at that time."
Dong Shou took a deep breath and told what he saw and heard in the ruins of the city, the terrifying power of the Rock Demon God, and the tragic process of the battle.
Every detail made the high-level officials present frown. Everyone knew that the rise of the Rock Demon God had become the biggest obstacle for Longguo to rebuild Dingcheng.
After listening, everyone was silent.
"With the strength of the Supreme Monarch, no wonder... this Dong Shou is really unlucky." Mo Fan thought in the parliamentary seat.
"Everyone, please speak freely about your ideas. The current marine situation is not optimistic. The five major base cities cannot do without the stone and soil resources of Yancheng." Shao Zheng said.
"Grand Speaker, in order to defend the coastline, our military strength is already seriously insufficient. It is unwise to make an enemy of the Rock Demon God at this time." A military general said worriedly. The military is obviously the least willing to develop Yancheng. Fighting a monster of the level of the Rock Demon God will inevitably make the military cannon fodder.
"But if we give up the resources of Yancheng, the construction of the five major base cities will stagnate, and it will be difficult to further strengthen and improve the coastal fortifications." The resource management councillor raised an objection, "Without sufficient stone and soil resources, what can we use to resist the increasingly prosperous sea monsters in the ocean!"
For a time, everyone expressed their opinions and argued endlessly, and the whole conference hall was filled with noisy discussions. Shao Zheng sat in a high position, listening to everyone's speeches, frowning more and more. Almost every senior executive was arguing, and no one proposed a truly effective solution.
After all, the supreme monarch is not so easy to solve. Even if they work together to solve it, there are still a lot of interest disputes behind it. How to divide the spoils? How to divide the development resources of the city? How to divide the credit?
In short, this kind of thing to save the world is thankless. At this point, Mo Fan has understood this society. In the face of complex situations and many conflicts of interest, every decision is difficult. The humans in the magic world seem powerful, but in fact they are full of internal contradictions, and all forces are calculating for their own interests.
Humans are divided into races, races are divided into countries, countries are divided into parties, parties are divided into regions, regions are divided into families, and families are divided into elders, younger ones, and legitimate ones. The branches fight openly and secretly for family resources and discourse power.
Even in a purely academic place like the Magic Academy, there are factions led by different mentors, competing with each other for limited research funds, rare magic materials and the honor of the academy.
The meeting ended in vain. Apart from the suspension of Dong Shou, no results were discussed.
The five major base cities seemed to have tacitly accepted the loss of the source of stone materials for the city of Yan. As for the matter of conquering the Rock Demon and rebuilding the city of Yan, the nearby Forbidden Army did not want to intervene, let alone other councillors.
Many councillors left and returned to their own jurisdictions and posts. Mo Fan was also ready to return to Feiniao City. However, the Grand Speaker Shao Zheng stopped him at this time.
Imperial Capital Magic Association, Grand Speaker's Office.
"Grand Speaker, what do you want to talk to me about?" Mo Fan asked in confusion after sitting down in the living room.
Shao Zheng looked solemn, and then slowly said: "Mo Fan, you have seen the situation today. Our country is not optimistic at this moment. Without the stone materials of the city, the construction of the five base cities and the coastal defense will face huge problems, but the parliamentarians of all parties only focus on their own interests and ignore the overall situation."
Shao Zheng sighed slightly and continued: "I am now walking on thin ice in this position of speaker. The various interest groups are hindering each other, and it is even more difficult to make some decisions that are beneficial to the country. I am already a little overwhelmed, and Su Lu, the new speaker of the Asian Magic Association, has been tripping me up. I feel that I may not be the speaker of the Dragon Country for long."
Mo Fan listened quietly, frowning slightly. He could feel the helplessness and worry in Shao Zheng's words.
"Big Speaker, is there anything I can help with?"
Shao Zheng looked at Mo Fan with a hint of relief in his eyes. "I almost forgot that you can now take charge of your own affairs, but you cannot intervene in the problems I face. The biggest help to me is to develop Feiniao Base City well."
"Don't worry, Speaker. Feiniao Base City is now developing rapidly. I will find a way to solve the stone shortage in the coastal defense." Mo Fan promised with a firm look.
"It's good that you have this determination!" Shao Zheng nodded slightly, with a deep and expectant look in his eyes. He said slowly: "Mo Fan, I have seen everything you do in Feiniao City. The current situation in Dragon Country is turbulent, with internal and external troubles.
Dragon Country urgently needs a capable and responsible person who is not overly bound by various interest groups to lead the reform. And I, after observing and considering you for a long time, intend to fully promote your participation in the election of the Speaker at a suitable opportunity in the future."
Mo Fan was shocked when he heard this, and he said quickly: "Grand Speaker, I am still young and cannot bear such a big responsibility. Whether in terms of political experience or in terms of accumulated connections, I am far behind many predecessors."
Shao Zheng gently waved his hand and decisively interrupted him: "Mo Fan, don't belittle yourself. I naturally know that this is by no means a smooth and easy road, and the difficulties and obstacles in the middle can be imagined. However, look at the current situation of Dragon Country. The traditional rules are already difficult to break the deadlock. We have reached It is a critical moment when change is necessary.
I have seen the courage and wisdom you have shown in your decision-making in handling many affairs in the past. I firmly believe that you have the potential for growth. More importantly, I can truly feel that you have the whole country in your heart and are concerned about the safety and well-being of every citizen. You have a rare and great feeling and quality of saving the world, which is the most important element of becoming a leader. "
Even if Mo Fan has taken a different path from the original work, the quality engraved in his bones will not change. When there is no day to save the world, Mo Fan is still mending the world, which can be seen from the details of the humane policies of Fei Niao Base City and Fanxue Mountain.
