The Safe Zone was still resting and recovering.
Everyone in the United Government was busy.
The Department of Justice and the Police Department were working overtime to interrogate the prisoners they had captured.
The Administration Department and the Ministry of Economic Affairs were tallying the losses and gains from the war.
United Government offices at every level-state, city, and district-were compiling lists of those killed in battle, because Gu Weirong had announced that another collective moment of silence would be held.
Every department was busy, but a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere pervaded all that activity.
They had won a great victory, and delight showed on every face.
Among the United Government's many departments, the Ministry of Armaments had very little to do.
The department had originally been established to check and balance the various legions through the United Government's allocation of resources.
But now that the entire Eighth Domain stood united, the Ministry of Armaments had lost its original strategic importance. There was also virtually nothing at the Safe Zone's high-level meetings that required the Minister of the Armaments Department to attend.
Had Qin Siyang not held that position, the department would probably have been abolished and absorbed into the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
"Minister, these are the documents that need your review." He Feifei handed Qin Siyang several reports.
Qin Siyang glanced at them. "I've been away for a month or two, and this is all that's piled up?"
"There isn't much that needs coordinating in the Ministry of Armaments now. Seventy or eighty percent of our affairs, if not more, can be handled routinely under the existing regulations. For most of the rest, Director Ma, Director Wang, and I can reach a decision after discussing them. So there aren't many matters left that need your final approval."
