113: Chapter 113 Otherworld Development Leadership Group

As the applause gradually subsided.

Elder Qin raised his hand again, and the venue instantly fell silent.

"There is one last thing."

His voice was deep and powerful, exceptionally clear in the quiet venue.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat—there was still something else?

The four major plans just now were already shocking enough, could there be even heavier news?

Elder Qin glanced around the audience, his gaze like a torch, and slowly spoke:

"Comrades, the four major plans we just discussed—military reform, technological breakthroughs, common prosperity, private enterprise transformation..."

He paused for a moment, his tone suddenly heavier:

"Ultimately, they all rely on one core foundation!"

Word by word: "That is—the continuous and stable development of Otherworld resources!"

"Without the massive resource support of the Otherworld, everything is a castle in the air!"

The whole venue was as silent as water.

Everyone's heart twitched—Elder Qin was right!

The six free policies required astronomical amounts of financial investment every year.

Where did this money come from?

There was only one answer—the Otherworld!

Elder Qin pressed his hands on the podium and leaned forward slightly:

"Therefore, after emergency research and decision by Central Command—"

His voice resounded through the entire venue:

"Starting from today, the 'Otherworld Development Leading Group' is established!"

"This group will coordinate all Otherworld development work! Resource allocation, personnel management, strategic planning, corps construction... All matters will be managed entirely by the group!"

Off the stage, countless people's breathing hitched.

The weight of this group was simply as heavy as a thousand jun!

Whoever controlled this group controlled the core of power for Great Xia in the next five or even ten years!

This was truly a department with real power!

Many veteran cadres' eyes flickered slightly, and some entrepreneurs' heart rates accelerated even more.

"Passed unanimously by Central Command—"

Elder Qin's voice echoed in the venue:

"I will serve as the leader of the Otherworld Development Leading Group!"

Everyone nodded one after another.

Expected.

With Elder Qin's qualifications, prestige, and ability, it was only natural for him to serve as the leader.

But right at this moment—

Elder Qin changed the subject, his gaze falling like lightning in a certain direction:

"Comrade Su Mingyuan—"

Swish!

Everyone's gazes simultaneously turned to the location where Su Mingyuan was.

Su Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly stood up.

Elder Qin's voice was clangorous word by word:

"Will serve as the—deputy leader of the Otherworld Development Leading Group!"

Boom!!!

The whole venue exploded into a commotion!

"What?!"

"Deputy leader?!"

"Did I hear it right?!"

Countless shocked and unbelievable gazes shot simultaneously toward Su Mingyuan.

Deputy leader!

This was by no means some nominal sinecure!

Under the circumstance where Elder Qin, as the leader, was more responsible for overall control and strategic direction—

The deputy leader was the real power position actually responsible for specific implementation, resource allocation, and daily operations!

What did this mean?

It meant that Su Mingyuan would directly control the decision-making power for all Otherworld developments!

It meant that millions of corps soldiers across the country would listen to his dispatch!

It meant that tens of trillions of resources flowing every year would pass through his hands!

It meant that he would leap to become the true core layer of Great Xia and the most sought-after powerful figure in the next five years!

This position...

Was too heavy!

Heavy enough to make countless people green with envy!

Inside the venue, the atmosphere instantly became subtle.

Some people opened their mouths in shock.

A trace of envy flashed in some people's eyes.

Some people's expressions became complicated.

Even more people showed thoughtful expressions.

Several veteran generals frowned—by what right did this young man?

Some entrepreneurs' eyes flickered—if they could establish a connection with Su Mingyuan, could they get a piece of the pie in Otherworld development?

And more smart people felt their hearts beating wildly—

It seemed that this Su Mingyuan's energy was far greater than it appeared on the surface!

To be so highly valued by Elder Qin, and even willing to hand over such an important position to him...

The profound meaning within this was worth pondering carefully!

Elder Qin seemed to have anticipated such a reaction long ago.

He swept his gaze across the audience, his tone calm yet unquestionable:

"I know that some comrades present may have doubts in their hearts."

The venue became even quieter.

"Why let Su Mingyuan serve as deputy leader? Why is it him?"

Elder Qin paused, his voice suddenly deepening:

"The reason is very simple—"

"Comrade Su Mingyuan is the first person to step into the Otherworld!"

"He is the only person who can open the portal!"

"His importance to Great Xia..." Elder Qin said word by word: "No one can match!"

The whole venue was speechless.

Yeah...

Without Su Mingyuan, there would be no Otherworld development.

Without Otherworld development, there would be no rise of Great Xia today.

This reason was irrefutable!

Elder Qin continued:

"More importantly—"

"During the process of Otherworld development, he has demonstrated outstanding organizational ability, strategic vision, and absolute loyalty to the country and the people!"

"Such a comrade, if we don't use him..." Elder Qin's voice was like a booming bell: "Who should we use?!"

Speaking of this, he scanned the audience, his gaze like a knife:

"If any comrade present feels that they are more suitable than Su Mingyuan—"

"You can stand up right now!"

The audience was dead silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

No one dared to stand up.

Because everyone knew very well—

Every word Elder Qin said was true.

In Otherworld development, Su Mingyuan's contributions were indelible.

His ability was obvious to all.

His loyalty could withstand the test.

He deserved it without a doubt!

Elder Qin nodded with satisfaction and continued to announce:

"In addition—"

"The commanders-in-chief of all major Otherworld construction corps will all enter the Otherworld Development Leading Group to serve as group members!"

"First Corps Commander-in-Chief Li Yunlong!"

"Here!"

A middle-aged general with a resolute face suddenly stood up and saluted!

"Second Corps Commander-in-Chief Zhang Wei!"

"Here!"

"Third Corps Commander-in-Chief..."

Elder Qin read out seven or eight names in one breath.

Every time a name was read, the corresponding general would suddenly stand up, with a gaze like lightning and a straight military posture!

These were all fierce generals who had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

Every single one of them had a body tempered by a hundred battles and had experienced thousands of fights!

Being chosen as a corps commander-in-chief was enough to prove their strength and prestige!

"All the above comrades are core members of the Otherworld Development Leading Group!"

Elder Qin concluded:

"Starting from today, the Otherworld Development Leading Group is officially established!"

"All decisions, dispatching, and resource allocation regarding the Otherworld..."

"Will be decided entirely by this group!"

He paused, his voice resounding firmly:

"No one is allowed to interfere! No one should even think about reaching out!"

"Violators—will be severely punished without leniency!"
