379 New Asia Corporation (2/2)

…

”Since the command structure is refined, I can start preparing for recruitment,” Chu Nan standing in front of Jiang Chen's office said.

Because of the significance of this reorganization, as the acting general of the Sixth Street, he would have to personally make a trip back. Of course, his position now was the governor of the Sixth Street, but other than the name, his duties didn't change.

”How many people do you think we can recruit?” Jiang Chen asked.

”It would have to depend on the price we are willing to pay and the number of people,” Chu Nan said.

”Plan to recruit 3000 people with five-year contracts. All recruits would automatically receive lower citizen status and enjoy a salary of ten crystals per month. After the six months of training, all recruits that pass the test will officially receive the status of NAC soldier and be promoted into an upper citizen with a salary increase to 20 crystals. Try to complete this before mid-June. Is it doable?” Standing beside Jiang Chen, Han Junhua said concisely.

It was the salary level of the regular soldiers at the three companies. Although the salary could not attract people with the ability to join, it would be attractive enough for people with low income to join. Especially once promoted to the upper citizen, there would be no restriction on supplies, even people with medium level income would be tempted.

Chu Nan deliberated in his mind before he nodded.

”It's possible.”

”Also, to the lone travelers, mercenaries, or hunters with outstanding abilities, if they are willing to join the hunter corp, NAC will offer them a salary of no less than 50 crystals. The contract will be for five years as well. Are there any questions?”

Chu Nan shook his head. ”Not regarding recruitment, but I do about the defense at the Sixth Street.”

”The defense of the Sixth Street will be the responsibility of the third corp.”

”What about the other two companies?”

”The first corp will be stationed in Shenxiang town, responsible for border defense. At the same, Cheng Weiguo will be responsible for training the new recruits.”

Chu Nan agreed. Cheng Weiguo has trained new soldiers before. It would be best for him to continue.

”The second corp is responsible for the defense of camp 27 and Fishbone base; hunter corp will await orders at the Fishbone base.”

”Also, I have another proposal.” Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded as she had discussed this with him a few days prior, it was not a bad time to bring it out.

When she received the acknowledgment from Jiang Chen, Han Junhua continued.

”The current militia at the Sixth Street is uncontrolled by the military government, I think they should be controlled.”

”That's impossible.” Chu Nan forced a smile. ”Mercenaries, hunters, and scavengers have already become an inseparable part of the Sixth Street's economy. Not even accounting for that, we don't have the ability to incorporate them.”

”Not incorporating,” Han Junhua crossed her arms and said emotionlessly, ”Just better management. For example, use the military government's name to establish the mercenary association, record the information of all mercenaries, hunters, and scavengers on file, and rank them based on their credibility and mission completion record. For these mercenaries, they would have easier access to the missions and no longer need to worry about the delay in payments. For businesspeople, they would also no longer need to be concerned with questionable helpers. For us, we would obtain the sense of them belonging to the entire Sixth Street civil force.”

Therefore, to retain their credibility, the mercenaries with questionable backgrounds would act less reckless. The capitalists that bully and trick the scavengers would be more prudent with the existence of the mercenary association.

Without considering the security aspect, just from a purely economic aspect, the proposal had many positive implications.

Also, if it was necessary, he could charge a commission for all missions. Jiang Chen added that in his mind.

Chu Nan was silent for a long time.

He then looked at Jiang Chen, exclaimed and congratulated him.

”Looks like you found a great advisor.”

Jiang Chen revealed a bright smile.

”I think so too.”
