Chapter 285 Rebel Army
On the afternoon of December 15th, Li Chenglong was at the military headquarters discussing the defenses of the coastal area of Linhai City with his colleagues when Zheng Yong asked, "Old Li, are you aware that a new human force has emerged recently? They openly call themselves the Resistance Army, refusing to accept the meeting request from the envoys sent by the China Headquarters, while also fighting against zombies."
Feng Tian then continued, "The resistance is quite powerful now, claiming to have 30 troops and more than 100 million people. They currently have influence in Central and North China."
Li Chenglong nodded and said, "Yes, I learned about this yesterday and communicated with General Chen Guoqiang and General Sun Tianlong. Their influence has also appeared in some areas of our Eastern Theater Command. After discussion, we concluded that we should observe the situation first, not provoke them, and treat them with courtesy. However, if they dare to do anything that infringes on our interests or colludes with the zombies, then we must eliminate them."
Yunlan added, "Their actions are definitely against Chinese law and will not be conducive to the future unification of China. Let's see how they behave. If they are also doing this for the Chinese people and to fight against the apocalypse, then we can treat them as friends and even cooperate with them if necessary. If they are just a group of thugs, then we should eliminate them."
Li Chenglong said, "We'll hold a meeting later and come up with a set of guidelines for dealing with this resistance army. From now on, Dawn City and the Dawn Army will follow these guidelines when they interact with them. The main principle of these guidelines is: we will not attack unless attacked. We will welcome friends with fine wine, but we will meet wolves with hunting rifles."
Without hesitation, Li Chenglong immediately ordered his men to issue a notice that the Dawn City People's Congress Representative Meeting and the Dawn City Senior Meeting would be held the following day. Dawn City currently has four large-scale meetings, one of which is the Dawn City People's Congress, whose representatives are elected from among all the people of Dawn City, one for every 500 people, and there are currently more than 400 people in total.
The second major meeting is the Dawn City People's Congress, attended by members of the People's Congress, with one representative elected from every 30 members. Currently, there are over 200 representatives. The third major meeting is the Dawn City Government Affairs Congress, primarily attended by senior and mid-level leaders of the Dawn City government departments; however, this meeting generally overlaps with the Dawn City People's Congress. The fourth is the Dawn Army Military Congress, attended by senior and mid-level officers of the Dawn Army.
In addition to these meetings, there are the Dawn City Political Consultative Conference and the Dawn City Senior Conference. The Dawn City Senior Conference brings together mid- to high-ranking officials from the Dawn City government and the Dawn Army to decide on Dawn City's future political strategies and the development of the Dawn Army. Nominally, the Dawn City People's Congress is the highest authority in Dawn City, but in practice, the Dawn City Senior Conference is more important.
The governing body of Dawn City is generally divided into four parts: the first is the Dawn City People's Congress, the second is the Dawn City General Affairs Council, the third is the Dawn City Military Commission, and the fourth is the Dawn City General Committee. In the actual operation of Dawn City, the Dawn City General Committee plays the most crucial role.
Currently, the Dawn City General Committee comprises 50 members, including the highest-ranking officials from various departments of the Dawn City General Affairs Council and some members of the Dawn City Military Committee. The Chairman is Li Chenglong, and the Vice Chairmen are Yun Lan and Zheng Yong. They possess the power to decide all affairs of Dawn City and the Dawn Army.
These institutions, while inheriting some of the original structures of Huaxia, also took into account the characteristics of the post-apocalyptic world and Dawn City, forming a complete set of institutions unique to Dawn City. The organization is divided into the Dawn City People's Congress, the Dawn City General Affairs Council, the Dawn City Military Commission, the Dawn City General Committee, the Dawn City Supreme People's Court, and the Dawn City Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Apart from the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate of Dawn City, the highest leaders of all other institutions are actually Li Chenglong. This is not to say that Li Chenglong intends to establish a dictatorship or rule by one-man rule, but rather that, considering the rapidly changing environment of the apocalypse, all actions of Dawn City and the Dawn Army must be precise and swift, allowing no delays. A certain degree of dictatorship is also reasonable.
Previously, when General Chen Guoqiang led the headquarters leaders to inspect the city, Wang Jie, as the guide in the city lord's office, explained the composition of the various institutions in Dawn City to the leaders. Upon hearing that all the institutions in Dawn City regarded Li Chenglong as the highest leader, they immediately pointed out their doubts. After Wang Jie's patient explanation, they finally understood.
The following morning, the Dawn City High-Level Meeting and the Dawn City People's Congress were held successively, establishing some guidelines for dealing with the rebels. It was stipulated that Dawn City and the Dawn Army should, in principle, follow these guidelines when handling matters related to the rebels. However, rules are rules, but people are flexible. Li Chenglong also granted each department a certain degree of discretionary power, reasoning that since they were all his own people, they certainly wouldn't do anything to harm Dawn City.
Li Chenglong had nothing to do in the afternoon. The Dawn Army had not been conducting any combat operations recently and was in a period of rest and recuperation. Some time ago, Li Chenglong demanded that although there were no combat operations, training should not be neglected for a moment. "Three minutes on stage requires ten years of practice off stage." Only by sweating more in peacetime can one bleed less in wartime.
At the other desk, Yunlan deftly operated her desktop computer, typing a reply. Previously, the Women's Federation had written to Yunlan, requesting her to serve as their president. After discussing it with Li Chenglong, Yunlan decided to decline the offer. However, Li Chenglong, Yunlan, and other leaders of Dawn City still highly valued the newly established Dawn City Women's Federation and ultimately recommended Liu Qingqing as their president.
Liu Qingqing is 35 years old this year. Because of her contributions to Dawn City in the past two years, Li Chenglong gave her a psionic apple, which made her a water-type ability user. Before the apocalypse, Liu Qingqing was the vice principal of a school and a top student. After the apocalypse, she followed Li Chenglong's team and served as a representative of the people.
After the establishment of Shuguang City, she successively served as Vice Minister of Education, Director of Shuguang City Network Radio and Television Bureau, Minister of Civil Affairs, and Minister of Culture. She has a high level of influence among the senior management and the people of Shuguang City, so it is reasonable for her to serve as the president of the Shuguang City Women's Federation.
After giving birth, Yunlan grew her hair out again, but she usually just wore it in a ponytail or tied it up, only letting her beautiful hair down when she had free time. Li Chenglong went over and gently stroked Yunlan's hair, burying his head in it. After a while, he started massaging Yunlan's shoulders.
After Yunlan finished writing her reply, she said somewhat shyly, "What are you doing? Haven't we had enough of each other, even though we're an old married couple?" Li Chenglong smiled and said, "It's just that you're so beautiful and smell so good, so I just want to smell you more and look at you more." Yunlan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she leaned against Li Chenglong, enjoying his massage.
