Chapter 168: Be prepared

"Cable TV is not a big problem!" The deputy director of CCTV has long been unbalanced. From the day of the end of the world, his original high status fell to the bottom in an instant. The Provisional Military Commission engaged in a powerful struggle and did not play political games, so he had no interest in these media people who lived in vain all day long. However, these people were used to being awesome, including those famous actors in the former TV station, who have now become useless people who eat relief food, and even the treatment of farmers is better than them. Therefore, this deputy director has long been looking forward to when the Provisional Military Commission can reuse media people again. Now when Xie Tian said this, he was naturally happy and thought that the opportunity has finally come.

However, Xie Tian immediately poured a pot of cold water on him and said, "Don't be happy so early. The only purpose of my rebooting of the TV media is to better and more effectively convey some decisions and instructions of the Interim Military Commission to every survivor, even news such as recruitment. If it is released through the TV media, the effect will be much better and save a lot of our manpower. In addition, you can also play some movies and TV occasionally, which is to give survivors a chance to waste time and relax their mood. It will definitely not have anything to do with politics. And I just need to restore the hardware equipment to me, and you don't have to worry about other things."

"This..." the deputy director muttered a little depressedly: "What's the use of not playing politics if you don't play with such a good media platform..."

Xie Tian said coldly: "You don't need to worry about this. You just need to follow my instructions. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The deputy director nodded in disappointment and said, "I will take someone to the Dongfang Satellite TV station to check. The cable TV lines must be intact. You only need to send electricity and then debug the equipment for a certain amount of time."

"Yeah." Xie Tian looked at the others again and asked, "Do you have any questions in the communication?"

"There is no problem with landlines." An engineer from the telecommunications department said immediately: "I believe that the telephone lines here should be intact. After I go back, I will take someone to check and recover as soon as possible."

"Where is the mobile department?" Xie Tian asked again.

"It's also on hardware." The man said: "As long as there is no problem with the hardware, we can still satisfy local mobile calls, it's just a problem with the mobile terminal..."

"Are you talking about mobile phones?" Xie Tian said lightly: "There are probably no less than tens of millions of mobile phones that can be found in Shanghai?"

"That's right..." The man nodded slightly, Xie Tian stood up and said, "Okay, go and organize your team and do it as soon as possible. The temporary Military Commission will give you a generous reward."

Since it is necessary to use Shanghai as the development base, Xie Tian’s definition of Shanghai is not just an environment for survivors, but to try to restore it to its previous scale. Shanghai has an excellent development foundation, and now zombies cannot cause pressure or interference to Shanghai. It is time to speed up time to build a city. All infrastructure that can be restored must be restored as much as possible, re-activated and play its due role.

The building of Oriental Satellite TV was quickly completely sorted out by a cleaning team composed of survivors. The zombies did not destroy the equipment here. It seemed that everything was in good condition. As long as the equipment was activated and the broadcast equipment was activated in the telecommunications bureau, all terminals with TVs could see TV programs. Millions of people were in Shanghai. If there was no suitable channel, it would be difficult to issue orders to them, and the instructions would be delayed. If cable TV was activated, then when there was any news that needed to be communicated to the survivors, you just need to play it repeatedly on the TV.

The power personnel quickly reorganized the power supply lines in the TV building. As the power supply kept up, several staff members immediately entered the TV station and thoroughly checked all necessary equipment. For local users in Shanghai, having the cable TV network that was popular before can achieve the purpose of accepting programs. However, if the current broadcast satellite is in good condition, the TV can cover the whole country and even other countries through satellites. At that time, survivors in Jiangxi, hundreds of kilometers away, only need to install a satellite TV receiver to receive it.

Related devices for landlines and mobile phone services have also begun to be repaired, but there may be more space in time. Xie Tian did not urge him too much, as long as this problem can be solved in the near future.

Chairman Han learned that Xie Tian was restarting these projects, he found Patton. When Xie Tian controlled Patton to face-to-face with Chairman Han, the old man's first words were: "The boy named Xie Tian under your command seems to be very good at doing things."

When Xie Tian heard that he was praising him, he smiled modestly and said, "It's just trivial matters, nothing."

"You can't say that." Chairman Han smiled and said, "It's good, it's bad, it's bad. Since you do it well, you naturally have to say it out and give him some encouragement. You should be pleased with the people under your command, why are you humble for others?"

Xie Tian smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's true, I will praise him well when I look back."

This feeling of discussing yourself with another person as someone else's identity made Xie Tian feel a little awkward.

"By the way." Chairman Han said, "Since Xie Tian has been following you with determination, then you might as well bring him into the army and give him a military rank so that he can convince the public when he is doing things."

Xie Tian asked in surprise: "Is this appropriate? After all, he is only in his twenties this year. What rank is appropriate to let him enter the army?"

Chairman Han waved his hand and said, "Treat special times. Now is not the time to talk about qualifications, connections and background. Gu Sicheng has a background. His status as Gu Nianxun was only below me, so Gu Sicheng crawled quickly and steadily, but so what? He has no ability and is not a bastard." As he said, the old man paused and said, "In my opinion, I will give him a colonel and let him do it, so he can do it specifically for your left and right hands. In this way, he can do things better for you and make it more convenient for him."

"College..." Xie Tianzhen was shocked. Ordinary people may not be able to become a school official in their entire lives. But will he become a college student who has never even entered the army? Then he is only one step away from the Major General.

"What do you have any doubts?" Chairman Han said seriously: "The colonel is just a colonel. Don't sound scary. I'm afraid that others will have any opinions. Who dares to have any opinions? That boy's contribution to Guam alone is enough to give him a colonel. Those soldiers and officers who know him are very convinced by him. I have already inquired about it. Although others are not in the army, they have already gained enough fame in the army. Moreover, they have made the railway and Shanghai in an orderly manner. They will run back and forth for you and call him a colonel. Who dares not accept it?"

"Okay." Xie Tian nodded slightly. He actually had no thoughts about military ranks. After all, he completely controlled Patton, an admiral with great power, and there was no need to become a colonel or any other military rank. However, since Chairman Han insisted, it didn't matter.

Chairman Han said at this time: "Just choose, you have something to ask that kid. I want to ask him."

"Okay." Xie Tian nodded quickly and pretended to be looking for him. Not long after, he drove to the temporary military commission's base in the district government. The guard reached out to stop him and asked politely: "Leader Xie, are you here to look for him?"

"Chairman Han." Xie Tian replied.

"Oh." The guard hurriedly said, "Then you wait a moment, I'll go and inform you."

"good."

The soldier hurriedly turned around and went in, then ran out and said, "Thank you, come in with me, leader."

At this time, Chairman Han said to Patton in the office: "Just choose, I want to talk to Xie Tian alone. You took this opportunity to go to the dock. Some of our ship experts have been studying the American USS Washington aircraft carrier, and it seems that they have gained a certain amount."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "Then I'm going, you can talk to Xie Tian later."

Xie Tian controlled Patton and left, asked the orderly soldiers to take him to the dock, and then he stepped into Chairman Han's room. When Chairman Han saw Xie Tian, ​​he invited Xie Tian to take his seat. Xie Tian was polite and sat in front of the sofa with the old man. Then the old man said, "Xiao Xie, I heard that you are going to start restoring television and communications now?"

"Yes." Xie Tian nodded and replied, then told Chairman Han about his general thoughts.

Chairman Han said in agreement: "This idea is very good. In this way, not only can we increase the ability and speed of information delivery, but also the previous contact between survivors can be greatly enhanced. It is not bad. Young people think about things, but the routine of old guys like us is really different from that of thinking about things."

Xie Tian smiled slightly and said, "Chairman Han, you have over-rewarded."

Chairman Han waved his hand and said, "Thank you, you have been following Zhengxuan for a while. I have a question to ask you."

"You said."

Chairman Han hesitated for a moment and said, "If I hand over the power of the Military Commission to Zhengxuan, do you think Zhengxuan will agree, and what will the others react?"

Xie Tian frowned. Chairman Han wanted to pass the throne to Patton. Xie Tian knew very well. Not to mention that Patton is the one that Chairman Han believes and is willing to support the most. Just because of Patton's recent performance, Chairman Han has already thought of abdicating. Last time he rejected him through Patton's mouth, he did not expect that this time he actually came to him.

"Look." Chairman Han saw that Xie Tian did not speak, and said, "The current temporary Military Commission, except for me and Zhengxuan, no real power party. I asked Zhengxuan to take over my position. Even if some others were dissatisfied, they did not have the ability to change this result. Putting aside the relationship between me and Zhengxuan, I think everyone else understands that Zhengxuan is the well-deserved candidate. What do you think?"

Xie Tian nodded, but said in a difficult manner: "Captain Qin does not have the desire to take charge of the government at present, and he feels very relieved that you have always been here to take charge, so I think it's better not to hurry up on this matter. If you really have this idea, you can let Commander Qin try it gradually. If he is really interested and can control it well, it's not too late for you to give him this position."

"Hey..." the old man sighed and said, "I'm afraid I don't have much time, so I'm a little anxious. I really don't know who can be more suitable for this position except him. If he can sit in this position and you are by my side, I believe that China's future will be very optimistic. At least, it will be much more optimistic than other countries. We have now started from the starting line first. I believe that this time I will definitely lead the whole world and continue to maintain this advantage. It won't take long to become the most powerful country in the world. If we can start to lay our foundation at this time, it will be more beneficial to him in the future."

Xie Tian nodded and had to say, "Chairman Han, don't worry, I will try my best to persuade Commander Qin."

"Yeah." The old man said melancholy: "Thank you, you are a smart young man, and you are only in your twenties now, with a bright future. You are by your side. If I am gone, you must help him manage this big business well. You cannot repeat the mistakes of the government in the past. You should broaden your horizons. It is best to fundamentally solve the problems and contradictions that were deeply rooted in society before. Do you understand this?"

"I understand." Xie Tian said seriously.

"That's good." Chairman Han smiled with relief: "There is another thing to tell you. I will hold a Military Commission meeting tomorrow and officially grant you the rank of colonel in the current military system. You can wait for the notice tomorrow and determine the time. I will let someone notify you."

"College?!" Although Xie Tian had already voted for Patton and Chairman Han about this topic, he had to pretend to be frightened and blurted out: "Chairman Han, I am just an ordinary college student. I haven't even graduated from university yet, and I don't know what to do in the army. If you asked me to be a university, I really don't know how to do it."

"It's okay." Chairman Han waved his hand and said, "You still do what you do on weekdays. The military rank of the colonel is just to make it more convenient for you to command the army. At that time, I will allocate two to three regiments to you and obey your instructions directly. This will make it more convenient when you want to do anything in the future. And don't forget that there are no ordinary civilian officials now, only civilians, soldiers and officers, and military and political integration. If you have the military rank of the colonel, you will be more convinced."

Xie Tian said with some concern: "I'm afraid I can't do it well."

"Don't worry." Chairman Han said with a smile: "Your current performance is already good enough. At least, everything you arrange is developing in the best direction. This is your credit, which ordinary people cannot do."

Xie Tian had no choice but to nod and said, "Chairman Han, then I'll try it. If I don't do well, I will take the initiative to resign from you."

"Resign?" Chairman Han smiled and said, "Do you think you are here to work in the army? Don't start to doubt yourself before you do anything. You should first express your opinion to me, saying that you will do your best to do this job well. In that case, even if you don't do it well, at least I will see your confidence."

"Okay." Xie Tian smiled bitterly, Zheng nodded heavily, and said, "Please rest assured Chairman Han, I will definitely not let you down!"

...

Xie Tian felt a little strange when he came out of the Provisional Military Commission. He did not want to have too much connection with the government, but because of Patton, he began to get closer to the government step by step. However, Xie Tian did not regret it. Patton's appearance gave him an opportunity. Looking back at the time when he was still defending Fengcheng, if he hadn't discovered Patton by chance, he would have never entered the circle of power in Yanjing. In that case, Chairman Han would be dragged down by the ruling factions and basically could not do anything. If that were the case, there would be only two results in Yanjing at this moment. Either he was in the final struggle with a large number of zombies, or the ruling factions had already withdrawn, leaving behind the army that could not be taken away and survived and died together with the survivors.

If it were the second type, then China would probably be difficult to save. It would have a population of less than 10 million. At that time, the number of people who could actually escape from Yanjing was only five digits, because the aircraft capacity was limited after all, and the most terrible thing was that no one could guarantee that even if tens of thousands of people escaped, the tens of thousands of people would be able to stabilize. Perhaps it would be very likely that they would leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den again.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Patton, Xie Tian stabilized the current political situation and saved the entire Yanjing survivor with Patton. Shanghai now can be regarded as a paradise in the end of the world. This is inseparable from Xie Tian himself and Patton. He fought alone in the end of the world, and in the end he led dozens of people to earn a land that could temporarily survive. But now, Xie Tian has the opportunity to change this country and this world.

Thinking of this, Xie Tian gritted his teeth and threw that strange feeling out of the sky. To do things and to do big things, he had to grit his teeth and walk all the way to the dark. Chairman Han's age was there, and it was impossible for too long to continue to command the whole country at a high position. Patton also had to prepare for the ***, with more than 200,000 troops and more than 7 million refugees. As long as he firmly grasped these two camps, Xie Tian would be sure to develop China with Shanghai as the basis to become the most powerful country in the world today.
