356: Chapter 355 Lin Mo's Judgment: Heading to the North American Continent!

Very quickly, everyone chimed in, and they swiftly reached a consensus.

"Comrade Lin Mo." Chief Designer Bai Yannian looked at Lin Mo on the stage and asked, "How should we explain this to the public? And what do you need us to do?"

Lin Mo pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"No need to explain; just downplay it. Those who are interested will naturally pay attention, and for those who aren't, it's better to keep them in the dark."

The group nodded in agreement with Lin Mo's arrangement.

Given the current direction of public opinion, there was indeed no need for an official response.

Since that was the case, a cold-handling approach was best.

It had to be said that the truth of the world is often exceptionally cruel.

Knowing too much of this cruelty does not benefit ordinary people in the slightest.

Many people always think that the upper levels are hiding many things from the lower levels, only saying good things and never bad, and that there must be some sinister motive.

But in reality, for the common people, stability is a blessing.

Living in the country with the best public safety in the world, leading a carefree, stable, and peaceful life without the threat of war—that is happiness.

"Furthermore, as for how to defend against the invasion of the Trisolaran Civilization, there is no need for everyone to do anything at the moment."

"I have my own plans."

"What I need everyone to do now is to exhaust your talents, wisdom, and strength to help me realize my second dream as soon as possible!"

Lin Mo looked around at everyone and spoke solemnly.

"Everyone should already be clear."

"The second dream I described earlier is actually the concrete plan I have formulated for Huaxia moving forward."

"A towering building starts from the ground up!"

"My goal is to strive to realize the preliminary stage of the second dream within the time of a five-year plan!"

Five years...

Hearing this long-lost, unique planning timeframe from Lin Mo, everyone was speechless.

Such a massive plan, with thirty-three equatorial space cities and three Lagrange spaceports, and he was only giving them five years?

"Regarding the specific plans, I have already formulated the work schemes and made detailed divisions of labor."

"I have already made specific arrangements for which project each person is responsible for, and I will distribute them to everyone later."

"Let me state this in advance: I will not be specifically participating in these plans."

"I'm not joking; I won't be participating in a single one."

As soon as the last sentence was spoken, everyone was left with black lines on their foreheads.

They had seen people act as hands-off managers, but they had never seen anyone act as hands-off as him!

Just as they were planning to propose an extension of the deadline, Huaxia's number one "nuclear-powered donkey," Chief Designer Bai Yannian, spoke without hesitation.

"No problem!"

"This is a small matter. Do you want to add a few more projects?"

Lin Mo was also a bit surprised.

"Alright then, I'll send you the plan for the second phase of projects as well!"

"The deadline will remain five years as before. I had actually reserved some extra time for everyone previously, but I won't be reserving it now!"

"Especially for Commander-in-Chief Yun and the others; suddenly having to shift the focus of work from the military field to the civilian field will require more effort and hard work!"

"Ahem, no applying for retirement is allowed!"

"The White Dragon Supplement has already been prepared for everyone, so don't bring up health reasons!"

"The happy life of the Huaxia people depends on you all from here on out!"

"..."

General Yun Feijie's mouth began to taste bitter.

He had fought battles his whole life and finally achieved glory, yet before he could enjoy it for even two days, he was suddenly dragged off to lead the construction of space cities.

Damn it, he would have preferred to unify Blue Star later...

"Comrade Lin Mo, what are your plans for the next steps then?" asked Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng from the side.

"A vacation."

"I'm going to North America for a nice trip."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything.

Once he did, everyone was so angry they almost vomited blood.

He had delegated all the tasks and was going off on a vacation himself?

Was there any leader like him?

Watching everyone's indignant expressions, Lin Mo smiled lightly.

For the past few days, there was one thing he hadn't been able to figure out.

He could gain prestige points from strategic intimidation actions.

As long as the Sophon could hear his words, it would inevitably be intimidated by those words filled with rich information.

But clearly, it had failed.

Lin Mo had tried every method in Huaxia, but had consistently been unable to communicate with the Sophon.

However, during the recent live global broadcast, his speech to the whole world had been able to cause strategic intimidation to the Trisolaran Civilization.

Coupled with the fact that forcing the Eagle Sauce to dissolve had also previously caused strategic intimidation to the Trisolaran Civilization.

After a little analysis, Lin Mo was certain.

If he wanted to find the Sophon of this parallel universe's Trisolaran Civilization, he really had to go to North America!
