Chapter 579 Opportunities and Challenges

Daybreak 395.

Star City, which had not snowed for a long time, started to snow heavily.

Ji He was wearing a white robe and stood at the city gate looking into the distance. The world in his eyes was covered in silver. Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, blending with the white robe. His black hair was also dyed white.

The feeling of loneliness arises from the bottom of my heart.

This is his second year of promotion to the decision-making level of Star City.

There were too many ideas in his mind that he wanted to realize, but he did nothing.

Now that he is alone and weak, if he wants to promote reform, he is faced with resistance everywhere. He needs a group of colleagues to implement his ideas.

If you don’t have any companions, then cultivate and find them yourself.

After the condolences to the city defenders were over, Ji He returned to the Star City Administrative Office.

It was freezing cold, and there was no air conditioning in Ji He's office. The whole room was empty. There was only a desk and a computer connected to the Star City database, and there was not even a sofa to connect to the guests.

Ji He stood by the office window, looking at the snowy world outside the window.

Many thoughts are intertwined in my mind.

In his heart, becoming the decision-maker of Star City is not his end.

When he was young, he had a detailed discussion with his teacher about the current situation of Star City, and he mentioned many shortcomings in the development of Star City.

One of the major drawbacks is the over-dispersion of power.

The military department, Star City's authorized research institutions, and city management formed the Supreme Council of Star City.

This power model did play a significant role in the development of Star City in the early days.

But today, as the surrounding environment becomes increasingly harsh, the decentralization of power has resulted in the implementation of many plans becoming very inefficient.

Approval at all levels and coordination with authority agencies.

The plan reviewed and approved by the Supreme Council of Star City is like passing through a barrier. From the moment it is approved, it needs to go through many hurdles before it can be truly implemented.

This is just one of the drawbacks of decentralization.

There are not always conflicts among the top leaders of Star City, and they often quarrel because of different ideas.

The reason for the quarrel has nothing to do with interests, but has to do with the perspective of looking at the problem.

For example, a few days ago, a conflict of ideas broke out between the decision-makers of the Military Ministry and the Hupo Research Institute regarding whether to build a new city first or to consolidate the defense projects of Star City.

Depending on where you are, your thoughts will be different.

The early Star City did need many different voices, and even Feng Qi supported decision-makers to actively express their different opinions.

Many advanced ideas at that time were born out of quarrels.

But this time, that time.

The surrounding harsh environment has intensified, and the challenges faced by the human race have intensified.

Ji He felt that spending too much time on arguing was meaningless.

He felt that it was time for Star City to make changes. First of all, Star City's power structure needed to be restructured.

But it is so difficult to do this.

No agency wants to be deprived of its power and become a subordinate unit subject to unilateral jurisdiction.

There is no way his idea could pass the review of the Supreme Council.

Now Ji He's idea is to first win over the military, a violent organization that represents the strongest force in Star City.

But even with the support of the military, Ji He still knew that he could not stand at the top of Star City.

In front of him, there is an insurmountable mountain.

He is Feng Qi's appointed successor and the current highest authority holder in Star City.

Usually in private meetings, everyone would joke about this legendary figure as the city administrator.

Zhang Daowen, who rose from the front line, had the support of a large number of top frontline battle groups, and subsequently gained a background in the military. He had been in charge of the military for a period of time and was the supreme commander of the military for a period of time.

Regardless of ability or background, he is the pinnacle of power in Star City.

He is like the Dinghai Shenzhen of Star City.

Although the highest power holder in Star City has the idea of ​​gradually retreating behind the scenes due to the harsh surrounding environment, focusing on cultivation, and gradually handing over power to them.

But when that day will come is unknown.

Maybe it will be a few years later, maybe it will be decades later, or even more than a hundred years later.

He does not have the longevity of this legendary figure and cannot afford to wait.

But at this stage, it is simply impossible for him to cross the mountain of Zhang Daowen.

For the first time, Ji He experienced the helplessness his teacher once felt.

He wanted to promote reform, not to overthrow Fengqi, a mountain of faith.

Deep down in his heart, he always firmly believes that the human race's belief in Feng Qi must exist and must be firm.

Because Fengqi is already the foundation of Star City’s faith.

His traces have spread all over the city, like a beating heart, continuously creating power for the city.

The path of faith growth is one of the main growth paths of the human race.

What he wanted to change was the ideological influence Feng Qi had on future generations.

When faith becomes blind, like a kind of political correctness, reason becomes the fault that is being blamed.

Standing at a turning point in history, he feels that the development of the human race should be based on profit and efficiency.

Abandoning the ideas of the old era will only be beneficial to the development of the human race.

Ji He felt that the first problem he had to solve was still how to centralize power.

His ideas are so shocking that any idea in his mind that is put forward publicly will only be criticized and targeted. As a result, just like his teacher, he can only be forced to quit.

Even though the chance of success is very small.

He still wanted to try.

As Feng Qi once said:

"Someone always stands up, why isn't that person me?"

Standing at a turning point in history, since he had discovered the problem, he stood up and tried to change it, even if the result was destined to fail.

The military headquarters is his first target.

How to win over the military, Ji He thinks that offering benefits is the wrong way.

The structure of the military department is destined to attract people with interests, which will only lead to countermeasures and may even arouse the military's vigilance.

During this year, Ji He has not behaved excessively.

He just put forward the idea of ​​​​optimizing the military structure, and used this as a reason to constantly go to the military headquarters and make friends with the top brass of the military headquarters.

At the Supreme Council, he and the military always had the same ideas.

He has always given the impression to the military that he is a decision-maker in Star City who is very interested in the construction of the military.

Through these opportunities, Ji He quickly locked his goals.

His name is Lin Zhengyuan, and he is one of the candidates for the position of the next top commander of the military.

Ji He took the initiative to make friends with him and got along with him as a friend.

What he has to do during the relationship is to gradually instill his ideas into Lin Zhengyuan.

But to achieve this step, it takes time.

As a senior military official, Lin Zhengyuan has a firm will that cannot be easily influenced by him.

But Ji He also valued Lin Zhengyuan's steady character, and what he had to do was tell his story well in the next time.

There is no need to deliberately add a hint of color to this story. You only need to tell Lin Zhengyuan your thoughts through the story. If he can understand your thoughts and think that your thoughts are correct, then they will be fellow travelers.

Facing a person like Lin Zhengyuan, any pretense or even attempt to deceive with lies will inevitably result in failure.

Ji He doesn't think his idea of ​​reforming Star City is wrong.

What he needs are sane companions, not followers who have been brainwashed and choose to stand by his side fanatically.

Time flies.

Daybreak 397.

Military Department.

The weather was gloomy, with a steady drizzle.

Ji He sat on the sofa by the window, sketched the aura with one hand, turned it into a water element spirit chess piece, and landed on the chessboard.
