Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 991 - 496

Since the name "Illuminati" has already been spread, they can no longer fight individually and operate as scattered forces.

The urgent task is to settle the issue of the base.

Xiao Shuai, who remained in the East Capital, was efficient in his work and had sent detailed information on two alternative locations a few days ago.

During this time, apart from assisting Chen Xu’an in stabilizing the situation and clarifying the underground power structure of Cui City and Tian Nan Province, Fang Cheng and others have spent the rest of their time discussing the establishment charter of the Illuminati.

After a meeting last night, Fang Cheng has already made the decision to not choose between them.

Instead, he decided to spend more money to acquire both alternative locations, with the plan to establish a "three caves of the cunning rabbit" layout in the future.

The first base is located at the Jinshui Fish Market in the Lingang District.

It is a famous old district, full of old buildings with a maze-like complex terrain, and is close to the port.

Ordinary times see a large gathering of outsiders, mixing people of all kinds.

Although the place looks chaotic, it excels in extreme concealment, with four-directional waterway traffic.

In summary, it is very suitable as a daily administrative office and intelligence relay station.

As they say, the greatest hiding is in the city, so setting the main base of the Illuminati there makes operations grounded and convenient while disguising their actions.

In case of emergencies, they can quickly evacuate through the complex alleys or waterways.

The second base is located in the industrial park in the western suburb of Jiangbei District.

There is a textile factory that has been out of business for years; although it’s in a remote and desolate area, it comes with an underground air-raid shelter built during wartime preparedness.

This air-raid shelter is of high specifications, with a huge space, strong structure, and excellent soundproofing.

With minor renovations and the introduction of ventilation and power systems, it can become the perfect base for member training and a strategic material warehouse.

By then, even if there are loud disturbances inside, such as practicing high-powered Qigong moves or storing prohibited sensitive equipment, there would be no worry of being detected by the outside world.

One bright and one hidden, one inside and one outside, they complement each other perfectly.

With the bases in place, the next crucial task is to fill the organizational structure.

This has also been the core topic repeatedly discussed by Fang Cheng, Professor, Lin Chuqiao, and others in recent days.

To confront a formidable entity like the "Ideal Land," sheer courage isn’t enough, and a highly efficient, clearly divided functional system must be established.

According to the preliminary plan, the Illuminati will first set up the three most core departments to build the organization’s framework.

The first is the "Action Department," which is the organization’s sword, its core functions including executing combat missions, eliminating dissent, and protecting targets.

The personnel composition combines "core elites" with "peripheral wolves."

The core combat strength naturally includes individuals like Fang Cheng and Professor who have special abilities, primarily undertaking high-difficulty, high-risk core tasks.

Of course, a sound organization cannot solely rely on core members; it also needs enough peripheral support personnel as a backbone.

Fang Cheng and Professor plan to recruit a batch of retired Special Forces or civilian Martial Artists with clean backgrounds who are brave and willing to fight, to form multiple peripheral action teams.

Each core member leads a squad, serving as the tactical core and spiritual pillar of the team.

In this way, they can not only lead attacks in actual combat but also help strengthen the combat power of peripheral members, with everyone cooperating in the fight.

In addition, noble families like the Chen Family and gangs like the Red Tiger Gang can serve as auxiliary forces, responsible for handling some low-intensity routine conflicts and assigned tasks.

The second is the "Intelligence Department," which is the organization’s eyes and ears.

Its main responsibilities include gathering information on the "Ideal Land," monitoring the reactions of various forces, and establishing an Illuminati information network.

This area requires professional hackers, detectives, and special talents skilled in disguise and penetration.

Bai Ling’s talent will be maximized here.

She naturally possesses the ability to change appearances and mimic voices, making her a natural ace spy.

However, given her innocent and playful personality, she can only be used as a core agent for now, unable to take sole charge.

Meanwhile, Professor Ye Zhiran, with a sharp mind, extensive experience, and deep understanding of underground world’s rules,

until a suitable head candidate is found, is the best choice to handle strategic planning and temporarily serve as the head of the Intelligence Department.

Lastly, the "Logistics Department," which is the organization’s lifeline.

Its functions not only involve managing materials and equipment, but more importantly, providing medical treatment, site cleanup, and using social resources to offer members legal identity protection and legal aid.

This requires a meticulous and resourceful person to coordinate, akin to the Illuminati’s chief steward.

Lin Chuqiao, with a gracious demeanor, delicate mind, and familiarity with the operations of noble families, is most suitable.

As for Pan Wendi, although he seems unserious, he has the backing of the wealthy Pan Family, making it fitting for him to hold a position specializing in securing special channels that only money and power can unlock.

Apart from these three core departments, as the organization grows in the future, finance, R&D, and other functional units will gradually be established.

The structure is easy to set up, but talent is rare.

The first batch of personnel for the Illuminati has been gathered.

Fang Cheng, Lin Chuqiao, Professor, Uncle, Bai Ling, Pan Wendi, along with Xiao Shuai and Xu Hao stationed in the East Capital, make up the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea."

Although the number is not large, like a small bird with all its vital organs, each of them has the potential to handle a role independently.
