At the colony’s port.
Under the escort of two warships, ten cargo ships loaded with containers slowly approached ashore.
In these containers, in addition to the canned luncheon meat, instant noodles, and compressed biscuits produced in the Garden of Edens, there were also some industrial products produced at the Sixth Street. These things would be exchanged for crystals, mutant furs, and even blondes that would be shipped back to the Sixth Street.
At the port, Han Yue commanded the slaves under him to unload boxes of goods from the ships.
As he looked at the slaves who were busy in the port, and the newly appointed overseers that swung their whips and listened to his order, he felt surreal.
How did I, a security guard from a Wanghai bank, become the NAC North America Colony Human Resource Director of Slave?
Han Yue thought about it for a long time, but he couldn’t come up with an answer. In the end, he attributed the answer to luck.
Of all the colonists, he was the only one who escaped from the Black Skull Gang. Although he was caught by the predators of the Airport Gang, he was lucky enough to run into the General. He also happened to do well when he repaired the airport, and now that the number of slaves skyrocketed in the colony, he replaced the former director that died in the concentration camp.
Just as Han Yue looked at the direction of the port in a trance, his deputy trotted over and respectfully handed a signed document to him.
“Director, today’s loading and unloading tasks have been completed. This is the signature of the Port Affairs Office. Please review.”
“Well,” Han Yue nodded, took the document, and glanced through it, “I see.”
Then, he handed the document to the secretary behind him, and said, “Can you go to the Human Resources Department in a moment and give it to Minister Wang’s secretary?”
“Yes!” The secretary nodded quickly.
A day’s work was so simple, so simple that he couldn’t believe it.
In most cases, he didn’t even need to go to the site in person. He could just sit in the office, drink tea, flip through the newspaper, and wait for the slaves to finish their work. He would then seal the document to the Secretary’s Office of the Human Resources Department, then his work for the day was complete.
And these trivial things could be done by his deputy and his secretary.
Back at the office, Han Yue boiled a pot of water and threw a few tea leaves from the Garden of Eden into the kettle. As soon as he was about to open the newspaper to see what big news was happening at the Sixth Street, a phone call came.
Han Yue cleared his throat then pressed the connect button.
“Hello?”
“It’s me, Wei!”
“Wei!” Han Yue was slightly taken aback, then he responded in joy, “Zhongwei?! Why are you—”
“Oh my God, I finally found you!” A relieved voice came from the other end of the phone, and then Song Zhongwei asked with concern, “What happened to you? I heard something happened in the colony. Yeah, but I couldn’t get through your phone. I went to the Colonial Registration Office to inquire, and those people didn’t give me an answer.”
“Don’t mention it, something small happened, but fortunately, our General took care of it.” Han Yue smiled bitterly. “The communication in North America was only restored recently, and my EP was repaired at Chinatown yesterday. I’ve been thinking about when to call you, but my mind has also been messy these days, so…”
“It’s okay!” Song Zhongwei laughed loudly, “You still owe me one hundred and twenty credits and a meal. I will remember.”
Han Yue couldn’t stop chuckling when he heard his friend’s voice.
“When you come to North America, I will pay you back ten times.”
“Oh, okay, you’re doing well?” Song Zhongwei asked in surprise.
“Well, you can say that. I’m now a full-time official and I’m the Director of Slave of the Colony Human Resources Department,” Han Yue grinned, “If you come here, you can work with me. What do you think?”
“Holy fu*k! You became a director in two months?” Song Zhongwei envied, “You’re too lucky.”
In the local administrative system of the military government, director was a senior ranking. The monthly salary of one hundred credits and the monthly special supplies were enough to envy countless others. The fact that it was the Human Resources Department made the role even more enticing, with thousands of laborers under his command, any other departments had to establish a good relationship with him.
Song Zhongwei thought of this and couldn’t help but be emotional.
This colony was called the Land of Opportunity for a reason.
Among all the rumors about the colony, Han Yue’s story was not the only one, and Song Zhongwei was also not the only one surprised.
After the Battle of Panama, the survivors who were still alive in the concentration camp were safely returned to the fortress in Outpost Town by the Expeditionary Force. However, for the colony, the problem was far from over. Many people died in the concentration camp, which resulted in a serious shortage of administrative posts.
In order to fix the paralyzed administrative system, many inexperienced people were quickly promoted.
These real-life examples were precisely what made the name Land of Opportunity even more mystifying.
And it was something Zhou Guoping, who made the decision, did not expect.
It was not until a few months later that Zhou Guoping concluded this point in a meeting with the leaders of the department where they saw the number of immigrants that far exceeded their expectations, as well as the continuous increase in investment and trade.
Of course, this was after the fact.
…
The military camp under AS Order was just as lively as the port.
Boxes of packed arms and supplies were being transported into the airship by the lift along with the Tiger IIs.
The technical data of the NS-90 and F-79 had been completely analyzed. With all the glories and spoils, the Expeditionary Force was set to return tomorrow.
Jiang Chen sent Lilith back to the modern world first, and along the way, he also copied the files to Future Military’s server. The production line could be solved with industrial-grade 3D printers. This kind of robotic soldier controlled by AI would be a deadly force in any world.
As long as the shell was applied with a heat-resistant coating, the robot soldier could even be airdropped from low orbit. In some cases, they could even perform better than Celestial Trade’s Orbital Airborne Brigade. After all, there was no need to worry about casualties.
The next morning, it was finally time to set off.
Zhou Guoping and a group of officials, stood at the gate of the military camp as they bid farewell to Jiang Chen.
“Work hard here! If anything happens next time, remember to report to the General’s Mansion immediately. Don’t just think about taking everything by yourself! When did I ever treat those with merits poorly? ” Without much nonsense, Jiang Chen patted Zhou Guoping on the shoulder and jokingly lectured him.
“Yes.” Zhou Guoping nodded repeatedly.
There was nothing more to instruct, and when Jiang Chen saw that it was getting late, he was ready to leave.
Just then, a voice interrupted him.
“WAIT!”
