The officials below the stage all felt insecure, afraid that Jiang Chen would call out their names.
But what was to come would come.
Half an hour had passed, and more than half of the five hundred officials had been eliminated, leaving only a sparse one to two hundred people. No one else would do such a drastic reduction. Even a public company in the midst of the great economic depression would not directly cut 70% of its employees.
But Jiang Chen didn't care.
He eliminated all the departments he deemed unnecessary. NAC had the money, but it didn't have the obligation to support these useless people.
The people left behind all felt relieved. A lot of people didn't even realize their clothes were soaked.
The departments with strange names were all eliminated, and the departments with overlapping functions were all merged. The remaining 117 officials were temporarily suspended while they waited for the NAC's administrative department to make arrangements.
The name Imperial Capital was removed and replaced with Qingshan Stadium Survivor Colony, shortened to Qingshan Town. Although a lot of officials didn't want to change the name, most of the survivors didn't have any objections. In private, not many people actually treated this place as the Imperial Capital. Instead, they used the name "stadium" to refer to this place.
Chen Ling, with his contribution, was appointed as the governor of Qingshan Town. He was responsible for the internal affairs of Qingshan Town and was supervised by the executive officer appointed by the NAC headquarters.
As to the candidate for the executive officer, Jiang Chen had already decided.
During the attack on the Guru Tribe, the leader of the power armor airborne squad, Cai Xuan, was the first to break into the enemy's formation. He assisted the infantry in breaking through the mutated humans' defense line. After asking for his opinion, Jiang Chen appointed him as the executive officer of the Hucheng Survivor Colony.
Being an official or serving in a place far away from Wanghai was not an attractive option for the NAC's upper class citizens and knights. Not only would the quality of life be much worse, but his administrative rank would be two levels lower than Chu Nan from the Sixth Street and Xu Lu from Camp 27.
But once his term ended, he could apply to return to Wanghai. The resume of holding an important position in the colony would undoubtedly help him further in his career.
The Third Division of Empire that surrendered was renamed the Civilian Division. The size was reduced from five thousand to three thousand.
The homemade rifles were all thrown into the warehouse and replaced with the Reaper assault rifles manufactured by the Sixth Street. The assorted leather and steel bulletproof vests were also thrown away and replaced with carbon nano bulletproof vests produced by the Fishbone clothing factory.
In addition, 100 instructors from Wanghai were also incorporated into the team to strengthen NAC's control over the militia and train the miscellaneous forces to be "real".
After a series of changes, the ragtag army suddenly had the appearance of an "elite" army. These militias were responsible for the security of the survivor settlements, maintaining NAC's defense in Hucheng, and acting as the reserve force for the three major NAC divisions when necessary.
As for the original army commander, Wei Biao, his position was still that of a regiment commander, but this regiment had changed from an army to a militia regiment.
Wei Biao was flattered by Jiang Chen's arrangement to retain his position.
He originally thought that his final outcome would be at most a sum of severance pay, and then he would bring a few loyal confidants back home to farm. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to retain his position and increase his salary by 20%. Although NAC officers were parachuted into the regiment, it was understandable since absolute trust did not exist.
Other than expressing his loyalty, he didn't say anything else.
The reason why Jiang Chen retained Wei Biao's position was because of a deeper consideration.
One was to show the other three division commanders outside of Qingshan Stadium, and the other was because of Wei Biao's ability.
Former PAC Army soldier. Although his title was not as high as the "former brigade commander" Han Junhua, he still received military training before the war. Compared to the "former civilian" survivors, his combat skills and tactical awareness were several times better.
Being the commander of the militia was only training. If he proved his ability, promotion was only a matter of time.
As for loyalty.
Other than the restriction of power, in Wanghai, there was something called slavery chip.
…
After he cut the cake in the hands of the vested interests of the old regime into eight pieces, he threw the tablet in his hand to Chen Ling and then walked out of the palace under the gaze of the officials as if he was the plague.
The change of regime had no effect on the people in the stadium.
After making sure NAC wouldn't take the crystals in their hands, the merchants and mercenaries here.
The only thing that changed was that the green skin figures could no longer be seen on the street.
The violent maniacs were eliminated by the soldiers in kinetic skeletons the moment NAC occupied the stadium. If they were found on the street, they were killed on the street. If they were found in the toilet, they were drowned in the toilet. There was a huge difference between mutated humans and humans. The NAC soldiers' marksmanship was also superb, and it was impossible for there to be any mistakes.
The initial cleanup was extremely bloody, and the resistance of the mutated humans also caused accidental injuries to innocent civilians.
In the end, many civilians, mercenaries, and hunters with guns also joined the ranks of the mutants. Many of them had been persecuted by the mutants before, but due to the protection policies of the empire, they could only swallow their anger.
The moment Empire collapsed, the moment NAC announced that mutated humans were equivalent to mutants, they began their revenge.
Of course, there were sacrifices, but most people expressed their satisfaction.
Perhaps in the modern world, there would be people who sympathized with the mutated humans who died a horrible death, but in the apocalypse, such people would never exist, unless they were the "blue skin" who just left the fallout shelter.
After taking care of the affairs in the palace, Jiang Chen took Sun Xiaorou, who was waiting at the door, to the clinic in the ghetto that Zhao Baodong mentioned.
There was no one in the lounge. It seemed that the shadow of AS Order affected the clinic's business.
Jiang Chen received the number from the metal ball robot at the door. He only waited for two minutes before he walked into the room with Sun Xiaorou and saw the legendary Doctor Sun.
He had a crew cut and looked gentle. He looked to be in his twenties and didn't look like he spent twenty years in the fallout shelter.
Doctor Sun put down the notebook in his hand and looked at the two people at the door.
"Are you here to see a doctor?"
Jiang Chen shook his head and whispered.
"For the secret of immortality."
"You're Jiang Chen?"
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.
Doctor Sun nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Sun Xiaorou who was leaning against the door with nostalgia on his face.
"How many years has it been? You're already this big?"
"You know me?" Sun Xiaorou tilted her head and looked at him, confused.
"When you were only this big, I carried you." Doctor Sun smiled and gestured the size of a baby. "If I remember correctly, your name should be … Sun Jiao?"
