After leaving the Ministry of Armaments, Qin Siyang made a few calls.
Chu Baxing was stepping up intensive military training.
Zhao Sifang was organizing the United Merchants' Association's expansion into Sigma District.
Gu Yunpeng was still busy with his government duties.
Hu Chan was organizing a revision of the doctrine. At Han Huizhi's invitation, Yu Ziying had gone to the Han Character Legion to discuss establishing a United Church presence near the military district.
Qin Siyang and Hu Chan knew Han Huizhi insisted on playing both sides, but they had not refused.
Why refuse when there was something to gain?
Qin Siyang then headed to State 13.
Although Chen Zhongming had done an excellent job distributing food for him in State 13, he knew Chen Zhongming was having a difficult time as governor.
Perhaps, aside from distributing food, he had failed to make any headway in other areas.
Chen Zhongming thought completing Qin Siyang's assignment was enough.
But Qin Siyang did not agree.
With none of the local institutions under friendly control, even Chen Zhongming's personal safety was not guaranteed.
He could not let someone working for him lose heart.
Without announcing his visit, Qin Siyang went straight to State 13's government building.
As Minister of the Armaments Department, he did not need to give advance notice. Every door opened for him, and he went straight to Chen Zhongming's office.
Knock, knock, knock-
Qin Siyang knocked on Chen Zhongming's door.
"Didn't I say there would be no meetings this afternoon? Why is someone still coming?"
"Governor Chen, it's me, Qin Siyang."
"Minister Qin?!"
Hurried footsteps sounded inside, and Chen Zhongming opened the office door.
Chen Zhongming was surprised to see Qin Siyang. "Minister Qin, what brings you here?"
"I transferred you to this remote place. I'd be a real bastard
