There are too many things that are uncontrollable about the future of a family, a family, and a country. This is not only the unstoppable flow of history, but also whether individual willpower can go against the current and overturn the general trend.
Under the butterfly effect, no one dares to claim that they can control everything.
Any path will have uncontrollable risks, but as the most outstanding young man of the Chu family, Chu Jian has the responsibility and obligation to lead the family through this difficulty.
Chu Jian felt a huge pressure and left without eating. Her intuition told her that this would be the biggest crisis that the Chu family had faced in thousands of years.
After walking out of the hotel door, the Chu family activated the Chu family's highest red alert through their communication equipment.
In the Chu family, when faced with major problems, a very few people in the Chu family have the authority to activate the highest red alert and convene a family meeting, and Chu Jian is one of these very few people.
Chu Jian's status in the Chu family is unquestionable.
In the Chu family's history of more than a thousand years, the family's highest red alert has been activated twice. The first time was when the earth era entered the interstellar era; the second time was when the human interstellar federal government was established.
The activation of the first two red alerts allowed the Chu family to make the right decision and allowed the family's incense to last for more than a thousand years. Now, this is the third time that the highest red alert has been activated.
Half an hour later, all the core figures of the Chu family had arrived at the conference room in a secret base of the Chu family.
When Chu Jian arrived, the core members of the family had reached more than 90%.
The so-called ninety percent, that is, seventeen people, including Chu Jian, there are only eighteen people.
There is still one person who has not yet arrived - the clan leader.
The patriarch of the Chu family is Chu Gao, and Chu Gao is Chu Jian’s grandfather.
There was an audible silence in the conference room, and everyone looked at Chu Jian. In this small conference room, Chu Jian was the only woman and the youngest one.
No one spoke, and no one asked questions, because many things require the clan leader to be present before he can express his opinion. After all, you can't wait for the clan leader to come and say it again. Of course, after this red alert is activated, it means that everything in the Chu family
All difficulties encountered must be put on the table for discussion. This rule is to avoid cliques within the Chu family that lead to internal strife.
Finally, Chu Gao appeared with the support of two young people. When he reached the door, Chu Gao signaled the two young people to leave.
At this time, everyone stood up one after another.
Chu Gao is ninety-seven years old, but his figure is still strong, majestic and tall, with thick white eyebrows and a wrinkled face that is calm and intimidating.
"Grandpa." Chu Jian hurriedly walked to Chu Gao and helped him sit in the front seat.
Chu Gao gently patted the back of Chu Jian's hand, and his originally serious face immediately turned into a look of doting. He liked this granddaughter. Not only was she beautiful, she was also a well-known scientist in the five star regions, which made him very proud.
A middle-aged and elderly man returned to his seat a little embarrassed, because he and Chu Jian went to help Chu Gao at the same time, but Chu Gao didn't even look at him.
This middle-aged and elderly person is Chu Gao's eldest son, Chu Changhe, who is sixty-nine years old. He has always coveted the position of the Chu clan leader. However, although Chu Gao is old, he is healthy, can eat and drink, and has a quick mind.
Moreover, his reputation in the family was extremely high, and no one could challenge his status, so Chu Changhe could only think about it.
Chu Gao had three sons, the eldest son Chu Changhe, the second son Chu Changshan, the youngest son Chu Changyun, and Chu Jian was the youngest daughter of Chu Changyun.
In addition to the three direct sons and descendants of the Chu family, there are hundreds of people in the Chu family's collateral line, many of whom are higher than the clan leader. It is worth mentioning here that the Chu family does not have direct collateral lines.
, the position of clan leader is occupied by capable people. Chu Gao’s previous clan leader was not his father.
The first clan rule of the Chu family is that the patriarch is not allowed to appoint a successor, and the next patriarch must be elected through voting.
At present, the rules of the Chu family have been running for more than a thousand years. Generally speaking, there are no major mistakes. This also allows the Chu family to stand firm in the five star regions for a thousand years...
…
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Chu Gao signaled Chu Jian to speak.
"Dear elders, I have received a very important piece of information. In about a week's time, a large-scale wave of armored giant cockroaches will erupt on the planet Roni." Chu Jian got straight to the point.
No one said anything, but they all looked disapproving.
Like all the residents of Roni Planet, the people of the Chu family have also become accustomed to the continuous harassment of the armored giant cockroaches. In their view, although the armored giant cockroaches have caused certain losses to Roni Planet, they are far from enough to shake Luo Ni Planet.
The solid cornerstone of the Ronnie Empire. After all, Ronnie Star is the capital planet of the Ronnie Empire. In addition to government agencies, the royal family members of the Ronnie Empire basically live on this planet. It is no exaggeration to say that the current
Ronnie Star can be said to be impregnable and indestructible.
"Where did you get this information?" Chu Gao frowned and looked at Chu Jian.
"Provided by Zhou Sen, the number one gangster in the world..."
"Ah..." Chu Jian looked confused. She could see that her father's eyes were stopping her from continuing.
"Do you believe the information provided by a ruthless bandit who robbed homes?" The kind smile on Chu Gao's face disappeared and became extremely cold.
"grandfather……"
"Let's not mention this matter for now. I will find someone to verify the intelligence. Is this the reason for activating the red alert this time?" Chu Gao asked.
"Yes, grandpa." Chu Jian said softly.
"Jian'er, what are your personal thoughts?" Chu Gao seemed to realize that his attitude towards Chu Jian was too harsh, and his tone had softened a lot.
"I think it's better to believe what they have than what they don't! I suggest that the family should go all out to buy supplies now to prepare for the invasion of the armored giant cockroaches, and report to the royal family of the Ronnie Empire... Of course, we can also choose the Chu family
The whole family evacuates Roni Planet..."
"You're crazy!" Chu Changhe interrupted Chu Jian.
"uncle……"
"Jian'er, if we go all out to prepare for the armored giant cockroach now, it will definitely shake the military morale of the Roni Empire. If everyone follows suit and compete for supplies, won't the entire Roni Empire fall into turmoil? Who can bear this responsibility?
Get up! In addition, we reported to the royal family of the Ronnie Empire that a huge iron-clad cockroach disaster broke out. What if there was no outbreak? Jian'er, don't forget, we are just businessmen. Our ancestors warned us not to participate in politics.
, and don’t get involved in royal disputes.”
"Uncle, please answer Jian'er's question. What if the information is true?" Chu Jian asked.
"You said what if, there's no need for us to take greater risks just for the sake of it..."
"Changhe, okay, don't debate for now. I'll ask everyone for their opinions first." Chu Gao interrupted Chu Changhe and glanced at everyone.
"I think what Chang He said makes sense. Under the situation of uncertain intelligence, if our Chu family takes rash actions, it will inevitably cause social unrest. At present, in order to maintain social stability, the Roni Empire strictly prohibits the hoarding of supplies and imposes restrictions on those who hoard supplies.
Businessmen are all punished with treason. Under such high pressure, any move made by our Chu family will be infinitely amplified by our opponents, so we still wait and see what happens."
"I also agree with Chang He. Currently, Roni Planet is protected by the most powerful fleet of the Roni Empire, and the input of ground troops is also very large. It can be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, let alone the ordinary armored giant cockroach.
Even if there is a disaster, even if the armored giant cockroaches invade by multiples, we don’t have to worry about the collapse of the entire society. On the contrary, our Chu family is now being watched by various forces. If we are labeled, we will not be able to defend ourselves."
"..."
What surprised Chu Jian was that not only his uncle was opposed, but his father was also opposed to taking action at this time.
Suddenly, Chu Jian discovered that she had been too idealistic before. She thought that everyone could easily unite their thoughts and overcome difficulties together, but she was too naive. Everyone and her ideas were not on the same level at all. What everyone was more worried about was
Being jealous of the Ronnie Empire caused man-made disaster.
"Chu Jian, tell me." Chu Gao raised his hand slightly to interrupt everyone's speech.
"If everyone disagrees with the Chu family taking substantive action, then we can report this matter to the royal family." Chu Jian said.
"Reporting is easy, just open your mouth. If the information is false, and the Ronnie Empire is fully prepared, what will our Chu family do? In this extraordinary period, will we be put on a hat?
A big label that shakes the morale of the military? What if you are labeled as a rebel?"
"..." Chu Jian opened her mouth but did not say anything after all. She understood that her persuasion plan failed, because these uncles and uncles had not thought about how to deal with the invasion crisis of the giant armored cockroaches, but instead talked with Ronnie.
How the empire gets along comes first, and every one of them is extremely cautious, for fear of being caught and punished by the Ronnie Empire.
Chu Jian sighed secretly. She realized that too long a comfortable and peaceful life had caused the family members to lose their wolf nature. At the same time, she also overestimated the relationship between the Chu family and the Ronnie Empire.
Chu Jian has always believed that the relationship between the Chu family and the Ronnie Empire was very harmonious, and through the meeting just now, she saw that every member of the family was walking on thin ice.
Seeing the big from the small, this shows that the top brass of the Ronnie Empire did not take the Chu family seriously, which led to the Chu family's tendency to be forward-looking and hesitant.
"Okay, the meeting ends here. I will verify the authenticity of the information provided by Jian'er later. By the way, Jian'er, in the past thousand years, the red alert of my Chu family has only sounded twice. From now on,
Be careful when sounding the red alert!"
"Okay, Grandpa. By the way, Grandpa, can I make some preparations in case..."
"Yes, you can use all your resources, including requesting assistance from them. Of course, you have to make it clear that your dispatch cannot exceed your authority."
"Okay, grandpa."
A trace of disappointment disappeared briefly on Chu Jian's face.
