Chapter 9 Preparations in progress (5)

In the next six months, the Preparatory Committee reviewed and admitted new members at a rate of one batch per month, and the structure of each department had taken shape. Under Schneider's operation, secret funds were continuously imported from overseas, and material procurement was carried out.

It is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Under the favorable situation, the first general meeting of the Cross-Travel Group was secretly held in Guangzhou in early December.

Of course, even though it is said that it is all members, there are still quite a few members who are unable to attend and can only participate through online access and watch the live video. But this is democratic enough. At least every member does not have to worry about his or her absence.

"Be represented".

There were a total of 376 members participating in this meeting. Basically, they all passed the repeated review of the organizing committee and had decided to participate in the final crossing. Many of them were "politically reliable and at the forefront of action."

He was an activist who had long since sold out his wealth and moved to Guangzhou to devote himself wholeheartedly to the crossing plan.

The content of the meeting is mainly to pass several important topics, using the method of unanimous voting. All members over the age of 18 have one vote. If more than two-thirds of the people agree, it will be passed. If not, it will be rejected. Meng He also specifically spoke on the forum

An online remote voting section has been set up so that members who can only watch the live broadcast at home can also participate in the voting process in real time.

The first big issue is the decision on the organizational structure of the time-traveling group. At a short term, this matter will determine the power ownership and administrative structure of the time-traveling group. At a long term, it will affect the future distribution of interests of the time-traveling group in another time and space.

Even the establishment of a long-term political power is definitely a top priority for all members. According to the arrangements of the Preparatory Committee, this issue was put on the forum for discussion by members as early as two months ago.

After three votes, most of the proposals that were unreliable or had few responses were eliminated. As of today, there are still three organizational structure methods left for members to make final voting choices.

When hundreds of people come together to work, it is extremely difficult to unify their thoughts. Moreover, the members participating in this plan generally have an above-average education level, and each has their own ideas and intentions. It is extremely difficult to carry out large-scale operations on so many people.

Brainwashing is not an easy task. Instead of trying to unify the different ideas of the left, center and right, it is better to first bring everyone under the same administrative framework and use the political system to ensure that everyone is in this

Play your role in the collective, and then gradually unify your thoughts and understandings through the gradual expansion after time travel. This is the goal that the organizing committee wants to achieve.

The answer was immediately available after a round of voting for the three alternatives. The right-wing, conservative-style aristocratic parliament and the left-leaning direct democracy, which advocated national participation in decision-making, were defeated. In the end, a representative system in the form of indirect democracy was adopted.

, that is, members elect representatives to form a representative body to exercise collective power. Of course, given the current team size and cultural background, it seems inappropriate to call this power body either the parliament or the National People’s Congress. After a short debate and a new round of voting

After that, the name was finally determined - the Supreme Executive Committee of the Time Travel Group, referred to as the Executive Committee. For a long time to come, the Executive Committee will exist as the highest authority of the Time Travel Group until the time is right and the Time Travel Group is established.

to their own political power.

Members of the Executive Committee are elected by a vote of the general meeting. Each term of four years can be re-elected through election. However, in view of the current special situation, the first election will not be held until one year after the time travel. The current interim Executive Committee

It is composed of the current members of the Preparatory Committee who are automatically promoted. Regarding the candidates for the Executive Committee, a special motion proposed by Bai Kesi was also passed. In view of Tao Donglai's special contribution to the time travel plan, he will receive the honor of being a lifelong member of the Executive Committee.

Of course, this qualification cannot be hereditary or transferable, and there is no leadership status such as veto power.

The second topic after that is also closely related to each member, that is, the profit distribution plan of the time-traveling multi-future in the new time and space. First of all, every time-traveling member, regardless of age or gender, will automatically receive 10,000 original shares as dividend capital.

, it does not matter whether it is Tao Donglai who contributed the most money, or the child who did not contribute any money at all. This dividend share cannot be sold or transferred, and can be legally inherited, but it is not linked to voting rights. It is still one person, one vote for adults. In addition to

In addition to annual share dividends, members' income will mainly come from job salaries, major project bonuses, and job allowances. Of course, specific income arrangements need to be decided after discussions between the heads of each department and Schneider and others in charge of economics.

The establishment of shares makes the management system of the entire Chuan Chuan Group closer to a joint-stock enterprise. In this way, the industry, agriculture, construction, military and police, internal affairs, commerce, logistics and other preparatory groups under the executive committee look more like the same organization.

Different functional departments in the company, and the executive committee becomes the executive board of directors of the entire company. Of course, the more important point of this system is to allow the time-travelers to obtain an equal economic status in the new time and space, so that at least in

In the early days, there won’t be many complaints about the large income gap, and members can have greater expectations for the group’s future development.

After the two main topics, the executive committee announced the next plan. According to the plans submitted by each department, there are multiple training plans that need to be carried out in the short time remaining, and among them are complicated

Human resources deployment will become the first arduous task that the interim members of the Executive Committee will face after taking office.

Large-scale popular training mainly includes the following: construction site construction and forest felling training by the Ministry of Construction; military skills and wilderness survival skills training for all reserve personnel by the Military and Police Department; crew technical positions and basic navigation skills training by the Maritime Department; and medical department

First aid skills training; grain farming training from the Ministry of Agriculture, etc. There are also some small-scale training projects, such as administrative system training for managers of various departments, historical knowledge training for the diplomatic and commercial departments, etc. Among them are many

A small amount of training content has been carried out in phases and batches, but due to the shortage of manpower, the same person often has to participate in several training courses. During this period, he also has to participate in normal material preparation work, which inevitably attracts some complaints.

In addition, the Executive Committee issued to all members a list of items recommended for individuals to carry during the crossing operation, mainly daily necessities and outdoor supplies. The permitted carrying weight per person is 100 kilograms. Taking into account women’s physiological needs, women can carry

On top of this weight, add another 20 kilograms. This standard immediately aroused strong opposition from the few female members - this weight, let alone my mother's clothes, just cosmetics and shoes are almost reaching the upper limit, right?

?

After a fierce debate, the General Assembly had to propose a temporary special motion for consideration. In the end, the upper limit of the weight of items carried per person was increased by 100 kilograms, while the female standard was increased by 40 kilograms on the basis of 200 kilograms.

Kilogram, this time the dispute was finally settled.

After such a dispute, everyone discovered that the current male-female ratio is actually still seriously imbalanced. There are only 57 women among the 376 people, of which 23 are unmarried, and three of them are with their parents.

Minors who have invested in the great cause of time travel. Among the male members, the number of unmarried members is as high as more than 200, which means that the ratio of unmarried men to women is more than ten to one!

Facing the excited bachelors, the gossip committee members had no choice but to use their original rhetoric to comfort everyone, and promised that the focus of foreign trade after establishing a firm foothold in the new time and space would be to introduce marriageable women. Of course, for a certain

Some people put forward special requests to experience the development of loli. In front of many female members, the executive committee could only vaguely state that it would be considered based on the actual situation. You must know that although there are not many female members now, they are full of feminist awareness.

The members have already set up the banner of the Women's Federation within the team, and these old guys on the executive committee don't want to offend them for some guys with excess hormones.

After finally settling the members who were complaining, the Executive Committee quickly moved on to the next step, reporting on the progress of the preparatory work. This is probably the most proud work of the Executive Committee so far, and all preparations are guaranteed by sufficient funds.

All went relatively smoothly.

Under the auspices of Sun Changmi and Yue Zhiyun, the Ministry of Shipping has ordered a 7,500-ton ro-ro ship from the second-hand ship market, with a cargo capacity of more than 6,000 tons. The hull has a side loading and unloading springboard, and there are

Two booms have a certain self-unloading capacity. This large ship, which was purchased for 15 million yuan, will be used as the main ship for transporting materials across the group after undergoing a certain scale of transformation and maintenance. Of course, such a large ship

The materials consumed for daily maintenance and use of a ship are also very objective. Therefore, after the ship docks at Yulin Port, it will probably be difficult for it to move. It is more likely to be used as a fixed defense facility on the seaside.

But even though the future of the main ship is very dark, the Executive Committee still named it "New World". After all, this ship is also the single most expensive item in the entire preparatory plan. Some people have already proposed to buy it.

When the time comes in the future, this ship will be converted into a historical museum that will travel across the world.

In view of the current shortage of professional manpower, the Ministry of Shipping purchased an additional 2,000-horsepower tugboat and four thousand-ton unpowered offshore deck barges, as well as a decommissioned landing craft that the Ministry of Shipping had specifically mentioned, plus four

A 100-ton iron-hulled fishing boat made up the rest of the fleet.

Most of the Ministry of Industry's order list has been completed, but some customized equipment and machinery will still need to wait for a while before they can be picked up from the manufacturer. The Ministry of Agriculture's preparatory work is more troublesome, and a considerable number of improved crop varieties must wait until the crossing operation.

Talents can be transplanted onto ships, and the same is true for poultry and livestock. Mr. Yuan Ruoxiu has rented a small farm in Yingzhou, east of Sanya, to temporarily house these agricultural materials that cannot be shipped too far in advance. The barge fleet is waiting to be purchased from Zhanjiang.

When it goes south along the east coast of South Island, it is then loaded onto a ship and shipped directly to Yulin Port.

As for the military purchase, which is a key project in material preparation, the responsible North American branch sent a progress report. So far, North America has purchased a total of 300 Type 56 semi-automatic weapons for foreign trade exports in accordance with the requirements of the Military and Police Department of the Executive Committee.

, tens of thousands of rounds of bullets, and a large number of various military supplies that cannot be purchased domestically. For safety reasons, these guns will only be issued with one magazine of ammunition and will be managed uniformly. In addition, the Executive Committee does not plan to give all members

The consequences of distributing handguns to all citizens. The large and small shootings that have occurred in the United States over the years have given the world many vivid demonstrations. In the executive committee's vision, only going out to dangerous areas to carry out the

Only mission personnel will be issued self-defense weapons such as pistols.

The original procurement plan of the Military and Police Department needs to make small adjustments, because Schneider recently introduced one of his former customers in Europe to the Military and Police Department. It is said that this customer has channels to obtain military-style guns such as FNscar and HK416.

, not to mention even some heavy weapons. The person in charge of the North American branch could not resist such temptation and had flown to Eastern Europe to have direct contact with the other party. It is estimated that the results will be available in a week. And the weapons, ammunition and military equipment that have been purchased

The materials will be shipped in containers from the West Coast of the United States across the Pacific Ocean to the Hong Kong transit terminal by a professional smuggling company that has been contacted, and then immediately and non-stop transferred to the "New World" that is already docked here.
