Chapter 375: Shameless? I'm more shameless than all of you!
Over the next ten days, Los Angeles regained its calm.
With the help of "Cylinder Brain" in the darkness, things in Los Angeles had been sorted out after registering all the manpower information, and it was even more stable than before the turmoil.
The most extreme move was Brian directly enabling the Cylinder Brain to connect to some spy satellites, the report center, patrol car navigation systems, and the city's gun sound detection defense system...
Basically, wherever it could be intelligently connected, Brian handed it over to Cylinder Brain to handle.
That meant,
The originally chaotic police organization, under the command of Cylinder Brain's program, had directly formed into one big network.
Just in terms of efficiency, it had improved by at least four or five times.
It was that exaggerated.
And this was just when everyone was starting out with this model, not yet very coordinated or accustomed.
Otherwise, the efficiency could have been increased even more.
However, this also resulted in many officials who were used to slacking off being overwhelmed and applying for resignation.
There were also a lot of people who were only occupying a position but doing nothing worthwhile; afraid of offending Brian, they simply took off.
Brian didn't care about this at all.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged people are everywhere.
He opened recruitment in the community colleges and among the society, and increased the hidden benefits and treasures for government and police officials. In just three days, he had filled all the vacancies.
The police department still required training.
As for the many vacant positions in the Los Angeles government, to put it bluntly, throwing a dog in there would suffice.
Because many of the vacant positions' only task was to stamp...
Brian directly eliminated many meaningless positions and increased the number of patrol spots, and after letting Cylinder Brain do the calculations, he found that the financial expenses had decreased by more than twenty million a month.
For the National Guard, Brian was even more ruthless.
He dismissed a large number of ineffective military officers, promoted numerous civilians from the ranks, and opened up Enhancement paths for them, crudely raising a group of civilians to help him control the army.
Such crude methods definitely generated complaints, and many at that.
But no one dared to utter a word.
Even the people from the Ministry of Defense who served in the Guard did not dare to speak.
Because those who had opinions would express them in the morning, and the notice of their "martyrdom" would be issued in the afternoon.
It was that blatant.
After such a reorganization, the entire Los Angeles metro area, not to mention the smaller cities, at least the LA city area, had virtually become Brian's one-man show, subtly independent from the Federation.
...
That day,
Brian was in his temporary office, reviewing the citizen surveys collected by his subordinates.
The results were very good.
The security of the entire Los Angeles was visibly improving.
It couldn't be bad.
In just over ten days, dozens of gangs had been swept away.
The bodies were dragged away by trucks.
Gang members, after being screened and categorized, were partly sent to prisons for hard labor, while others were caged like pigs, transported to numbered research institutes in the suburbs, contributing their insignificant bodies to the cause of human evolution, even sparing the need for prisons.
In fact, gangs, most of the time, live within their circles and would not easily do foolish things.
It was simply that the research institutes were short of people.
Brian allowed the existence of gangs, but when needed, he felt no guilt in seizing these societal dregs as material.
His main target was the drug trafficking gangs.
As for certain industries, he merely standardized health check requirements and moderately reorganized them, not utterly decimating them.
In a Federation with a very high rate of gun ownership, high drug abuse, and a plethora of potential mental illnesses,
Gangs were just part of social unrest.
More shootings, in fact, came from civilians.
In an age of modern cities, where psychotropic drugs abound, yet guns are rampant, a minor argument could lead to an unpredictable shootout.
This group made up the vast majority of day-to-day shooting incidents.
But not anymore.
With Cylinder Brain's blessing, combined with public inspection equipment, it was just too perverse.
Basically, as soon as someone made a report, the patrol cars could immediately know the precise location of the incident.
If it involved a shooting,
Within five minutes, swarms of patrol cars, accompanied by combat drones, would encircle the scene of the shooting, and immediately deploy intelligent combat drones to lock in.
If anyone dared to flaunt their personality, the drones were willing to turn those people into sieves.
Brian even had a TV show that played loops of the first-person view videos of drone kills every day.
Under the toll of hundreds of lost souls over ten days,
Those who were agitated, weren't agitated anymore.
Those who were aggressive, spoke more gently and elegantly.
There were those who sued the police and organized protests with banners.
Unfortunately, under Brian's iron-fisted policies, he had the final say, even the media had a major overhaul, no need to pay any mind to these people.
Additionally, whenever there was an incident of a killing, the officials would publicly disclose all personal information of the offender immediately.
Surprisingly, social acceptance was good.
Public opinion surveys were also very favorable.
This was in fact within Brian's expectations.
To put it bluntly,
These trigger-happy individuals were mostly societal dregs with bad records, and normal people wouldn't appreciate such unstable elements.
They had been ignored before simply because those at the top didn't care.
Plus, in this world, with the existence of the Blood Moon, situations in many countries were quite different from his previous life, and the United States was more divided and authoritarian.
