"That's right! Let's go back and give them a good talking to!" So Tonghua also chimed in.

After that, the verbal battle of 1 against 17 lasted for more than ten hours. In the end, everyone was tired of shouting, and the matter was basically clarified.

"Then let's leave it at that. The Huatong Chamber of Commerce's business will be directly managed by the council, with various departments cooperating. In view of Councilor Jiao's special contribution to the nationalization of the chamber of commerce, he will be granted the position of Honorary Vice President," Baili Ji finally concluded.

This great debate over the management rights of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce ended with joint management. Jiao Zizhuo put in so much effort for so long, only to get a nominal position of Honorary Vice President.

After the matter was settled, the meeting continued for another day, with the topic being the reorganization of the chamber of commerce.

The meeting unanimously passed the following resolutions:

1. Announce that the Huatong Chamber of Commerce officially becomes an enterprise directly under the council.

2. Announce the separation of the Mercenary Guild's business. Based on the original personnel, establish local Public Security Bureaus, Legal Bureaus, Supervisory Bureaus, Security Bureaus... respectively under the jurisdiction of the corresponding General Bureaus. The for-profit business of the guild will be allocated to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, and a new institution will be established: Huatong Military Industry.

Since Huatong Military Industry involves the sale and leasing of weapons and equipment, it will be allocated to the Military and Political Affairs Bureau for management.

3. Announce that the various settlements will continue to implement regional autonomy.

4. The debts that the various settlements have not yet repaid will continue to be repaid.

5. Since the underground bases established by the various settlements already have grain production capacity, the state will suspend the distribution of relief grain.

6. The Finance Bureau will take the lead in establishing a new department: Huatong Bank, and based on the Huatong Chamber of Commerce's chamber of commerce points, begin issuing official currency.

This is something that non-governmental organizations can never do.

7. The Land Administration Bureau will take the lead in establishing two new departments: Huatong Communications and Huatong Transportation.

Among them, Huatong Communications will realize network and mobile communications based on the communication technology provided by the Mercenary Guild. Dongfang Chen also wanted to do this at the time, but the various settlements resisted to varying degrees, resulting in incomplete implementation.

Huatong Transportation will rely on the air logistics network established by the Huatong Chamber of Commerce to continue to carry out logistics and transportation business.

8. The Agriculture Bureau will take the lead in establishing a new department: Huatong Agriculture, which will be fully responsible for the agricultural production warehouses and food processing production warehouses in various underground bases.

Through this method of refinement and separation, basically every department has a share of the pie.

This is the difference between government-run and private-run. If the chamber of commerce is not nationalized, it is impossible to reach this step.

Once the announcement was released, some were happy and some were worried.

In particular, the grassroots employees of the chamber of commerce and the mercenaries of the Mercenary Guild were the happiest.

Because from this moment on, they will transform into national civil servants.

Then why doesn't the council use the original civil servants?

That's because after the outbreak of the virus, especially after the establishment of the settlements, in order to achieve efficient office work, the various departments were streamlined and merged. Therefore, the staff in the temporary headquarters of the settlements are the civil servants of the original positions.

And in order to ensure the business stability of the chamber of commerce and the Mercenary Guild as much as possible, the council avoids major personnel adjustments as much as possible.

The most worried are the actual heads of the various underground bases.

After the chamber of commerce is nationalized, the council has actually pinched their lifeline. If they want to be local emperors in the future, I'm afraid there will be many concerns.

......

Today's Australian continent has become a world of animals.

There are no living people on the entire continent, and various types of animals and mutated animals have formed a huge and complex ecosystem.

The temperature here is still maintained at about 20 degrees, which is the golden season for breeding.

Uluru, arid region of central Australia.

A war between animals is taking place.

Hundreds of thousands of kangaroos are running wildly on the vast Gobi.

They run in the northwest direction for a while, and then collectively turn around and turn to the northeast.

Are they avoiding something?

As the "aborigines" of the Australian continent, they originally had no natural enemies.

But now the situation is different, there is an alien species that is slaughtering them.

This alien species is the micro-controllable ant released by Dongfang Chen.

Now they have bred very large colonies, all over the Australian continent.

Logically speaking, ants can't catch up with kangaroos at all, let alone hunt them.

The actual situation is indeed like this.

In the beginning, ants could only survive by relying on other animals to supply food.

What kind of animals will supply them with food?

It is another kind of creature released by Dongfang Chen: controllable rats.

Controllable rats and controllable ants form a symbiotic relationship, and the food that leaks from the rats' mouths is enough for the ants to eat their fill for several meals.

Under the promotion of this symbiotic relationship, the scale of ants began to increase rapidly.

In comparison, the rate of rat reproduction is much slower.

After the number of ants increases to a certain extent, they can no longer completely rely on rats to provide food.

After that, the symbiotic relationship reversed, and huge ant colonies began to hunt. They rely on the power of the group to prey on large animals, so as to provide food for the rats.

In the natural state, ants would definitely not do this. But these are controllable ants, and the situation is different.
