The chaotic study was not a place for conversation. President Glass and Xiao Ran left the study and walked out of the mansion gate to the yard outside. They wandered slowly in the yard, as if they were a pair of old and young people hanging out after a meal. Xiao Ran also reported the situation of Primal Demon to President Glass.
President Glass did not express too many opinions, but just let Xiao Ran do it. The entire fleet will obey Xiao Ran's orders and arrangements, and will fully cooperate with Xiao Ran in everything. In action, President Glass is now completely determined not to interfere in Xiao Ran's affairs and not affect Xiao Ran's prestige. He just wants to step back and push Xiao Ran up.
President Glass's behavior made Xiao Ran smile bitterly, and felt that this old man was really willful. When Xiao Ran left Presidential Palace, although he did not get President Glass's opinion, at least he had spread the matter to Glass's ears.
As for the decision made by President Glass, perhaps it was because he wanted to continue to expand the prestige of Xiao Ran in the fleet in this last time, and perhaps he also wanted to see Xiao Ran's ability. There is a big difference between serving as Great President and serving as a general of an army. Coordination of all aspects of resources, regulating the balance between convoys and convoys, the defense force, and convoy enterprises are not comparable to those of the defense force that only need to consume materials and win.
The operation of the fleet cannot just consume, but must also be supplemented. After all, the place of a wandering fleet like them is not very big, and the resources it can generate are some basic supplies that meet the needs of life. Naturally, many conflicts will arise due to resources or such and such things. If they can be handled well, they can naturally ensure peace inside and outside the fleet. If they are not handled well, it will cause many twists and turns in the fleet.
In fact, Glass himself had thought about it. Anyway, after he retired, he would simply help Xiao Ran from behind for a period of time, allowing Xiao Ran to spend this period smoothly and become familiar with the management of the fleet. But Glass did not know that even if the entire fleet was left to Xiao Ran, it would not be difficult for Xiao Ran at all.
Xiao Ran has long been proficient in dealing with government and military affairs. It is very easy to do these things, and Xiao Ran's methods are strong and direct. We really want him to know who is behind the scenes after he takes charge of the ship. Yang Wei will definitely take it down decisively and ruthlessly. Even if 25th Fleet's pillar company L. A. I is causing trouble, Xiao Ran still has the courage to copy it for him and become the master of L. A. I.
So President Glass was completely careless in this regard. When Xiao Ran left Presidential Palace, he did not go back to the headquarters of the Defense Force. Instead, he went to S. M. S. He stayed there until the afternoon and then left with Sheryl Mwu and several others.
The next day, L. A. I's big boss Angelo came to the Unified Defense Force in person, and all the bosses of other economic companies that Xiao Ran asked Billy and Moses to contact also sat in the conference room of the Defense Force. Xiao Ran himself was holding the list of all personnel infected with V bacteria in the current fleet and looking at it slowly.
The number of people on the list is really not that small, there are nearly 20,000 people. Although it is only a small proportion compared to 25th Fleet with a population of tens of millions, there are complex relationships between people within the ship group.
From a professional perspective, more than half of the people on the list are soldiers of the National Defense Force, and the rest are candidates recommended by some companies. L. A. I personnel account for another 500 of them. Companies of all sizes have their own recommended personnel. There are other unexpected organizations, Research Institution, and outstanding citizens of the city, etc., accounting for more than 3,000, and the rest are all children.
After taking a rough look at the career statistics, Xiao Ran had a rough idea. He looked up at Moses and Billy and asked, "Is everyone here?"
Moses nodded. "Everyone is here and waiting in the conference room."
"Then let's go." Xiao Ran nodded, stood up and straightened his clothes, and walked out after Billy opened the door of the office. In this defense force headquarters, no matter where Xiao Ran went, someone would stop and salute Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran, who had long been accustomed to it, would naturally not nod at others like he had for a long time.
When we arrived at the conference room, the whole meeting seemed chaotic. Even if Xiao Ran walked into the conference room, it only lowered the tone of the conference room a little, but those who should speak were still talking, with no intention of stopping at all. After all, except for people from L. A. I and a few TV stations, most of the other people are just a group of bosses in the entertainment industry. They feel that they have some, but there is nothing to say in terms of discipline.
There was no reaction from Xiao Ran, but Moses frowned, with a flash of anger in his eyes. Without Xiao Ran's permission, he picked up the microphone in the conference room and said angrily, "Please keep quiet. Those who want to speak please leave here voluntarily."
Moses' voice rang loudly in the conference room, which instantly silenced the conference room. At this time, Xiao Ran also patted Moses on the shoulder, took the microphone from Moses' hand, and after scanning around the people present, said slowly, " I don't know if you know me, but it doesn't matter. You just need to listen to what I say and do what I say. Those who can't do it can leave immediately, but those who leave will become unpopular with me from today on. Do you understand."
The faces of the businessmen below turned pale, and they nodded their heads. How could they not know Xiao Ran, the hero of this fleet, the highest military commander, and the only candidate for the next president? Who among the people present dared to openly oppose Xiao Ran.
The expressionless Xiao Ran watched these businessmen nod quickly and sit upright to look at themselves seriously. While feeling funny in his heart, he also said lightly, "Very good, it seems you understand what I mean."
"I am going to hold a concert in the ship group led by Sheryl and Lanka, and all your artists will participate as assistants. I noticed that you all have artists who have been infected with V bacteria and have been cured. Although they are not capable enough, they can be used as foils. All artists carrying V bacteria are not allowed to shirk this concert for any reason."
"Sheryl will be the person in charge of this concert. You can do whatever she asks you to do. What she means is also what I mean. I hope you will never disobey me."
"But I want to tell you that if any artist refuses to participate, or participates in a perfunctory manner, I will use force to expel him from the crew and live or die. At the same time, I am also warning you, never go against what I have arranged."
The businessmen shook their heads in unison, with a hint of disbelief and fear in their eyes.
"Those of you here, I hope you will unite and cooperate, make this concert a success for me, educate the people below you, and don't let anything go wrong. You just need to remember that the meaning of this concert is not as simple as letting everyone have fun. Whether it is success or failure is not only related to me, but also to your lives and family property."
Xiao Ran glanced at these merchants, then looked at Angelo from L. A. I, who is also Little Shota Luca's brother in S. M. S., and said, "Mr. Angelo, I have to trouble you again this time. Not only on the ship group, but also on the lighting, pictures and vocal effects outside the ship group. Please take the lead and be responsible for it."
Angelo, unlike those businessmen, knows the predicament that the shipping group is currently facing. Although he does not understand the meaning of Xiao Ran's actions, he still nodded and expressed all his support. "No questions asked. I will arrange for all L. A. I employees to start handling this matter later. This time, with the help of these brokerage companies and TV stations, it should be completed faster, but I don't know to what extent."
"I want the entire planet to be able to hear the singing of Sheryl and Lanka, especially the one in the universe." Xiao Ran looked at Angelo and said, "But except for the vicinity of the ship group, as long as the sound can be transmitted to other places."
Angelo frowned, but looking at the determination in Xiao Ran's eyes, he pondered for a while and nodded lightly, "But I can't guarantee that their voices can be heard everywhere on the planet."
Xiao Ran smiled, "That's probably what it means. You can do it as far as you can, but I hope you can give me a specific time."
"Three days." Angelo stood up and raised three fingers at Xiao Ran: "I can use all my strength to complete it in three days, but I need the help of the military."
"No problem." Xiao Ran nodded and turned to look at the previous businessmen. "Did you hear that, three days, L. A. I can meet my requirements in three days, so you must prepare everything for the concert within three days. When L. A. I's work is completed, it will be the time for the concert to start. Do you understand?"
All the businessmen closed their mouths tightly and nodded their heads hurriedly. It was not until Xiao Ran turned around and left with a hum that the businessmen collapsed on their chairs as if they were exhausted. Xiao Ran's words scared them. They put life and death on their lips at every turn. How could these guys not be afraid?
As for those with better psychological quality, some relied on their ability to get on the stage, so they went directly to Angelo to ask, but no matter what these people asked, Angelo just smiled slightly.: "No matter what General Xiao asks you to do, just do it well. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. But you just need to remember that what General Xiao just said is not a threat but a fact."
After saying this, Angelo left the defense force headquarters with his assistant, causing a group of people to look at his back and look at each other in confusion. However, within a few minutes, they rushed out of the conference room of the headquarters, took out the phone, and dialed one phone after another.
"Moses, please help Sheryl these days to get this thing done."
"Billy, you should also select and select the people on the list, especially those children, those who have the talent to sing with their heart, and delete them for me. But you don't have much time, only two days at most, but you can mobilize any power to help you complete this matter, do you understand."
Moses and Billy nodded, Xiao Ran waved his hand. "Go."
Moses and Billy followed the order and ran in different directions after leaving the headquarters. One went to the municipal building and the other went to S. M. S.
Cruze, who was originally with Xiao Ran, went to the hotel where the senior officers of the Earth Unified Army's fleet were detained. So far, no news has been sent back to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran sat in the office for a while and found that there was nothing to do. After thinking about it, he decided to check out Luo and Basak on Second Archangel, and by the way, arrange things for Luo to study in L. A. I.
When he came out this time, Xiao Ran didn't bring anyone with him, not even an ordinary driver. He found a big-wheeled open-top off-road vehicle and drove slowly out of the city, leaving the main island and heading towards Archangel.
The weather this week is very good, there are not too many natural disasters, and the sunshine is usually gentle, making people very comfortable. Xiao Ran just drove the car and enjoyed the warm sunshine.
But suddenly, Xiao Ran felt his eyes go dark. It didn't mean that his eyes were really dark, but he felt that the sky suddenly darkened, but other places he saw were still the same. He immediately raised his head reflexively and saw a big bird appearing in the sky, just covering himself under its shadow.
When Xiao Ran saw the big bird, he immediately stepped on the brakes. After stopping the car, he stood on the chair of the car and looked at the slowly falling big bird from a distance.
"Ouch!" the big bird howled, and also landed on the car, staring at Xiao Ran with red eyes. To be honest, Xiao Ran was a little nervous at this time, which was completely different from the indifference and fearlessness on his expression. However, no matter in his eyes or movements, Xiao Ran did not show the slightest bit of nervousness in his heart.
"I didn't expect you would really agree to see me." Xiao Ran looked at the big bird as if he were seeing an ordinary person, and said, "Don't you think it will be difficult for us to communicate with you now?"
After Xiao Ran's words fell, the big bird suddenly emitted a burst of red, blue, and white light mixed with numerous light spots, and then a birdman with wings appeared in front of Xiao Ran. The birdman moved his head close to Xiao Ran, moved his nose, then took back his head and said, "How did you discover my identity."
"I have read some records about you." Xiao Ran also looked at the birdman in front of him, and said with a deep voice, "Can I request assistance from you on behalf of this fleet, or a transaction?"
That's it for this chapter. Yi Zui I really can't bear to write it. My stomach hurts so much that I can't even stand up. I've been writing this chapter for 5 hours and I really can't hold on anymore. But I still beg for a monthly ticket
