I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1178 - Public Safety

Very quickly, everyone took their seats and chatted for a bit while waiting for the time to go by.

At the moment, they were currently within the Ministry of Sports, Tourism, Culture & Entertainment.

And for this meeting, they had also invited a few others from the Ministry of Heavy Industries, as well as a few others from the Ministry of Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness.

Finally, there were a few from the Locomotive Manufacturing industry within the lower realm.

Yes!

All 15 people seated in the room represented their various ministries and work regions, and would be heavily involved with today's matters.

They also cane with their secretaries, who were seated behind them, away from the tables.

While Landon's other secretary, Bernice, was seated at a smaller table just behind Landon, ready to take down the meeting minutes.

She also had a tiny tell on her table to ring when the meeting began, as well as a timer, some water and various other items on her desk.

Landom was seated at the very forefront of the room, in the grandest position along the long rectangular table.

On one end was Landon, and on the other end of the room was the massive projection screen at the center.

So even though she was slightly behind him, from her angle, she could see everyone's face too.

Like so, time flew by swiftly, with 2 other secretaries standing by the projector, getting ready to play it.

So now, they were just waiting for him to give the signal for the presentation to begin.

And right on cue, Bernice picked up the tiny bell and shook it hard just once.

~Ring!

Instantly, everyone became extremely serious.

Thus, the meeting began with checking attendance, trading the meeting agenda and so on.

With their stylish suits on, everyone leaned forward and cupped their hands on the table with all heads turned towards Landon's direction.

But what were they really here for?

Well, there was a lot that they had to talk about.

But the most noteworthy ones were on public safety and something else new on the market.

That's right

They were also here to talk about the latest vehicle that had just been produced.

Caravans!

"Throughout the year, several touristic, sports, cultural and entertainment features have sprung, catering to the majority of needs for many.

And from numerous complaints, worries, Joy, gratitude and satisfaction from the suggestions boxes and mails... We can safely ?ssume that the government indeed did their part this year in satisfying many, as well as keeping public safety up too."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This year, they did better than last year.

Even when it concerned public safety around the entertainment spots, things did pick up a bit.

Make no mistake. There were still thieves in Baymard amongst the people.

There were and would always be cases like this within every society, even if they developed beyond human imagination.

Humans weren't machines that would remain obedient forever.

Whether blessed in a perfect dystopia or even in the deep poverty of waging times, no society could be ideal.

So their concern was to limit the percentage, and maybe one day... they could eradicate it all.

And one should know that since the evolution of Baymard, their worst crime year involving several establishments and businesses was 2 years back when tourists always came in and tried poking the greed of their citizens.

At that time, some outsiders wanted to eat their cakes and have them.

And that's why that year, several extreme examples were made publicly.

Be it the execution of spies, sentencing of citizens in jail, and so on... Privileges were taken back, waking many people who had been lax up.

Yes. His majesty, and even they, might be kind. But that didn't mean they would let troubles go by in Baymard.

In a way, this made many afraid to go down that path.

But there were always a few others who still dared to do so.

Anyway, since that bad year, they had been improving the statistics of those who complained of having their wallets picked when out in tourist areas.

There was also a chance that these people lost their wallets instead.

So the security and lost and found departments were tasked with working harder than they did.

They, from the ministries, wanted to see results!

And so far, it has been looking good.

.

~Flip. Flip. Flip.~

They held a similar meeting last December and have worked hard on improving matters since then.

As one might know, they typically held meetings concerning crime twice a year, except it was an emergency meeting of some sort.

But they held it only twice so as to give more time for implementing new strategies.

And from December till now, if the strategies suggested during the last meeting didn't work, then they could change it again.

Today was just the 1st day of July.

So if something wasn't working, they could come up with other suggestions and implement them from now to December.

Minister Laipo from the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness... pushed his glasses inwardly with a stern expression on his face. Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"Your majesty, apart from hiring more security, I suggest we also allow them to go undercover within the various entertainment spots."

Listening to Laipo, everyone's eyes twinkled in acknowledgement.

"Yes, your majesty. I think it's a great idea too."

"Hmmm. Those pickpockets and petty thieves would be on the lookout for security guards. But what if some of our security guards got dressed like ordinary civilians? I think those petty thieves won't be expecting it!"

Landon looked at them and smiled.

He had long wanted to suggest this. But he felt like he should always allow them to make mistakes, learn and improve matters on their own too.

After all, he was a busy man and couldn't very well do all the thinking for them, no?

.

Like so, the meeting continued on the latter of safety for a bit before talking about several other matters.

And finally, it was time to discuss the big topic on the agenda.

The matter of Caravans!
