Codex Pirates

Chapter 188: Crushing

"Business Division Five?" the senior agent repeated, then gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "Why do we need to set up another department? It's not like we can't do foreign work!"

Crowe shook his head: "Don't be upset. Our Security Bureau has been established for so long, but it is still only huddled in the country. The external work has not made much progress. It is normal for Lord William to be dissatisfied."

The senior detective said unwillingly: "Boss, why don't you see these boys in the attendant room divide our power like this?"

The corners of Crowe's mouth twitched, showing a slightly malicious smile: "Is this interesting because of coming and going..., do you know that Lord William has always wanted to reorganize the domestic army? Personnel, establishment, There are also departments, but this time has been busy with government affairs, especially the immigration and rural planning, so it has been postponed. I think it is time to put it on the agenda after the going to the countryside and immigration policies are on track.”

Crowe pointed his index finger at a document that was spread out on the desktop, and the words "Forming the Staff Department..." could be vaguely seen on it.

...

"The staff department?" William said to himself with a half-smile after looking at the documents submitted by the attendants.

Crowe is indeed an extremely smart person. He can not only examine moderation, but also understand the mind of his superiors.

The attendant's room is the department that helps William handle his daily work, and it is also the cradle for him to cultivate his confidantes and grassroots backbones. It is foreseeable that this department will become more prominent and important in the future, and its power will also become greater.

In fact, there are already some signs now, such as Sihai Trading Company, Baisong Town Free Trade Zone, Gold Flash Bank, Morgan Pirates, the Kingdom’s internal affairs, and even the work of the weapons research and development laboratory... All these departments and plans are available in the attendant room involved.

Like Crowe's National Security Agency, William is also planning to divide its powers, and it is the same as dividing the powers of the National Security Agency. With William's mind, there are smart subordinates who understand and open up to be this villain.

It was William's own idea to set up the Fifth Business Office. The people in the attendant's office just understood his intentions and made suggestions. Similarly, Crowe also made suggestions for the work of the attendant's office after understanding William's intentions.

The so-called General Staff Department actually imitated the German General Staff Department model in William's memory in his previous life, which played a role in the overall deployment and planning of the war army, but made some changes.

Because he has the loyal armed force of the Morgan Pirates, William himself has strong personal strength, so after he controls the Kingdom of Navia, he adopts the policy of first the people and then the army. The civil affairs issues that need to be resolved urgently will not be enough to deal with the army.

In the next period of time, the Navia Kingdom can be said to be in a state of flux. William first took the family of His Majesty the King who had been nesting in the countryside of Black Reef Town for almost half a month back to the palace, and then successively took his "treacherous minister" back to the palace. "The nobles who rushed to the countryside to eat soil took them back to Kalmar City.

These aristocratic lords who have been in the countryside for a long time, it is the first time that they miss the days of being under house arrest in Kalmar City so much. The place William arranged with them is not a rich place, it is not a newly developed and immigrant desert island, and there is no human habitation everywhere. In villages that have just immigrated, there are often various conflicts between locals and foreigners.

After welcoming back the old rulers of these kingdoms, more precisely, after putting them under house arrest under his nose, William began to drastically reform the army of the Navia Kingdom.

He first set up the staff department, divided part of the functions of the attendant room, and was in charge of military affairs, training, and munitions logistics. It is necessary to provide professional quartermasters for William's various fleets, and at the same time act as eyeliners to monitor whether there is any abnormality in the supply of ships.

The attendant room has not changed much in general, but the military and political work has been stripped off by William. From now on, it will only manage civil affairs. The surveying and mapping bureau under it will be in charge of navigation surveying and mapping, weather induction, and ship route conditions. In the future, it will also need to provide professional and reliable navigation for each fleet. scholar.

Prior to this, William established the Ministry of Health by taking advantage of doctors and free treatment to count the population, and planned to provide ship doctors for his fleet in the future.

William made two assumptions about the armed forces in the future. One is a professional army modeled after the navy and the regular army of the previous life, and the other is similar to the current Shichibukai system and the British privateer licensing system in the previous life. The amnesty decree, as long as they are not criminals wanted by the world government, criminals from other countries can obtain legal status after serving the Navia Kingdom for a period of time.

The reason for recruiting these civilian armed forces is determined by the nature of personal force in this world. In an environment where personal force can control most of the strength of a warship, talents are always precious and worthy of being recruited .

If it wasn't for being unable to bear the censure of the world government, William even planned to expand the scope of the pardon to the point where even those on the world government's arrest warrant would accept it.

The loyalty of these people is more difficult to control than those of professional military background, so William wants to hold the three positions of quartermaster, navigator, and ship doctor in his hands.

Whether it is a quartermaster, a navigator, or a ship doctor, they are all indispensable and important technical positions on a ship. As the number of ships under his control increases in the future, William wants to fully control all ships, including ships from the regular army. Instigation is unlikely, but as long as you master these positions, you can control the general ideological dynamics of a ship.

It can also increase the cost of betrayal of each ship, especially the navigator and ship doctor, who are naturally easy to get close to ordinary crew members, and it is easier to exert influence on the crew, so as to minimize the negative impact of accidents.

After completing the high-level arrangements, William began to really attack the army. He first transformed the Boys Army into a Guards Army. The original teaching team training mechanism of the Boys Army has matured after about a year of training. Under the leadership of William, he began to face all the troops in the country.

Although William has not rectified the Kingdom's army during this year, it is not that he has not done any work at all. He has been asking the attendants to sort out the files of low-level officers. Years, or grass-roots officers with outstanding performance, are eligible to enter the Guards and receive training before serving.

In addition, when William transferred the manpower of each army, he also started to check the army's establishment and armaments. Officers who were involved in vacancies and corruption, regardless of their position or severity, were all scoured to the end, packed up and left, and some was also thrown into prison.

Afterwards, some bloated, low-level, and useless troops began to be cut, and some useful troops were transferred to the police system to reduce the financial burden.

Many of these actions involved the interests of some old forces in the army. These people mistakenly believed that William was jealous of their power because William ignored them during the first year in power.

After being stunned by William's series of combined punches, he tried to incite low-level officers who ate up their quota due to corruption and laid-off army soldiers to make trouble. As a result, not long after the plan was finalized, Crowe and his national security officers, who were eager to do meritorious service recently, were arrested. Bureau found.

After the intelligence was reported, Harden, known as the "Vicious Dog", personally led a team to the door and arrested all these people. After William's instructions, he shot more than a dozen masterminds on the charge of subverting state power, and the others were not. To be deprived of the title of nobility is to be sent to prison to do hard labor.
