Chapter 704: Busy, Everyone's Busy, It's Good to Be Busy!
For the World Government, it wasn't just the Military that needed reform during this period.
Their own Administrative System and the Division of Authority within Cipher Pol also required changes.
Let's talk about the former first.
Previously, in order to keep up with the pace of developing one Otherworld per year and various Major Projects, the World Government's major Departments had to desperately recruit various types of Talent from various Kingdoms and Schools.
While this allowed them to barely manage the Four Worlds.
It also made every Department extremely bloated.
At the same time, it essentially exhausted the Administrative Talent reserves in the Sea Star World.
Think about it: based on the current Education System of the Sea Star World, what are called Colleges only exist in one or two institutions on a few Islands with relatively developed Civilization Levels.
In fact, most Kingdoms and Islands, except for the Noble Living Area, don't even have a Primary School.
Children of Civilians who want to learn to read and write usually learn from their parents or grandparents. If there is a place similar to a Kendo Dojo on the Island, it will also undertake some of the Education Duty.
However, this method is clearly only enough for children to recognize basic Writing.
For slightly more advanced Knowledge, it truly depends on an individual's Opportunity.
This is also why the 'Public Four-Piece Set Popularization' Policy promoted by the World Government is so welcomed and praised by Citizens everywhere.
Public School, Police Station, World Hospital, Government Compound.
These four can be said to guarantee the Basic Living Needs of the Citizens in various aspects, and even, on a certain level, make the local Nobility dare not oppress them too wantonly.
With the Five-Circle Cross Flag flying in the sky, who would dare to be presumptuous?!
Popular Support was thus slowly regained by the World Government, little by little. Several years have passed, and now when many Citizens mention the World Government, it is no longer with Fear, but gradually with a bit more Respect.
Regarding the Attitude towards the Celestial Dragons, except for those who have personally suffered abuse and still harbor Hatred.
Most Citizens who haven't personally experienced it tacitly chose to ignore them, simply not mentioning them.
In short.
It is already difficult for the World Government to recruit Administrative Talent from various places, unless they seize all the Officials from various countries.
Setting aside the fact that they cannot do this, even if they could, they actually wouldn't.
Because it's too bloated.
Therefore, the World Government's next reform direction is to 'slim down', stopping the recruitment of Personnel while transferring the excess Personnel to Other Worlds.
They hope that most of the administrative work for the Otherworlds will be handled by the World Government Branches located in the Homeland, while the World Government Headquarters here on Sea Star will be responsible for overall supervision and Control.
Although this will lead to the Branch Ministers of the Government Branches in various worlds having excessive Authority, this is the only way for now.
If any problems arise in the Future, they can be dealt with then.
Besides.
No matter what problems arise, as long as the Strength here on Sea Star is strong enough, they won't be considered major problems, not to mention that the Control of the Star Gate is still here on Sea Star.
However, while 'slimming down', they must also ensure that work proceeds smoothly. The executives of the Political Affairs Department will have to figure out the balance themselves.
But there is a very serious problem facing the World Government.
What happens if they open another Star Gate and conquer another Otherworld?
Currently, their Administrative Management Capability, relying solely on Manpower, has reached its Maximum Level.
Therefore, there must be a Method that can significantly improve Administrative Efficiency to solve the World Government's difficulties. Only then can the Military confidently capture cities and seize territory, Conquering Ten Thousand Worlds!
On the other side.
Regarding Cipher Pol, since the appearance of the Star Gate Otherworlds, the Functional Division of their various Departments has become in a state of Chaos.
The main reason is the insufficient Personnel. The Personnel of a single Department are simply not enough to handle various Missions across multiple Worlds.
In the end, they could only deploy Personnel from whichever Department had people available.
After several years.
Although they are still divided into nine Departments, such as CP-1 to CP-9, their actual Work Scope has long been mixed together.
Therefore, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter decided to take advantage of these six months to reorganize the Division of Authority within Cipher Pol and simultaneously absorb Talent from the conquered Otherworlds.
This is also why the World Government brought over all of Oarberg from the Imperial Arms World's The Empire.
Later, they might also consider absorbing the Secret Police Force led by Najenda, the Ninja Units from Shenhe Island Nation, and the top-tier Agents from the Special Affairs Departments of various countries in the Demon Slayer World.
In Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's view.
All Otherworld nations, including those in the Imperial Arms World, simply do not need Agent-related Departments and Personnel. It would be better to train them and have them serve the World Government.
However, these Personnel from Otherworlds will find it difficult to access highly Confidential Missions in the short term.
Their Value lies in helping with lower-level but more numerous regular Missions.
For example, Surveillance of the Higher-ups in various Otherworld nations, Detection and Elimination of illegally formed Tissue or Influence/Power within the Titan World, and in the Future, serving as Cannon Fodder to detect Intelligence in unknown Otherworlds, and so on.
Regarding Jurisdiction Planning.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter convened a Meeting with Belters, the Dean of CIPHER POL Headquarters, Bowen Knohen, the Officer of Cipher Pol Aigis 0, and Redfield, the Deputy Officer.
Also present were Lucci, the Captain of CIPHER POL-No.9, Steve Gus, the Captain of Cipher Pol-Nue, and the Captains of CP-1 to CP-8.
At the Meeting.
They first re-clarified the Scope of Authority for each Department, in order to facilitate the subsequent Handover of their respective related Missions.
Specifically.
CIPHER POL-No.1 is responsible for the overt Protection and covert Surveillance of mid-to-high level Officials in the World Government Headquarters and Branches, as well as the Security of important Facilities and Zones, such as the Academy of Science, Medical Academy, Agricultural College, etc.
CIPHER POL-No.2 is responsible for cultivating, recruiting, and Training Agent Personnel in Sea Star and Otherworlds, allowed to apply for Funding, and independently construct Secret Bases in Various Places. Kona Island is also within their Jurisdiction.
CIPHER POL-No.3 is responsible for Monitoring and Intelligence Gathering in the East Blue and South Blue of the Sea Star Mainland, various countries, and Various Islands.
CIPHER POL-No.4 is responsible for Monitoring and Intelligence Gathering in the West Blue and North Blue of the Sea Star Mainland, various countries, and Various Islands.
CIPHER POL-No.5 is responsible for Monitoring and Intelligence Gathering in the Grand Line and Red Line of the Sea Star Mainland, various countries, and various Zones.
The reason for including the Red Line is that the World Government will subsequently attract Citizens to construct Cities and reside there.
Currently, the Construction Department has begun constructing Infrastructure in the first batch of designated 'Nine Great Special Zones', such as Houses, Paths, railways, etc.
At the same time.
Some of the Territory granted by the 'Twenty-Level Military Merit Peerage System' will also come from these Zones on the Red Line, so the Red Line will definitely become very lively in the Future.
CIPHER POL-No.6 is responsible for Monitoring the Military. This mainly relies on Undercover Activity, as overt Surveillance would certainly make people uncomfortable.
CIPHER POL-No.7 is responsible for Monitoring and Intelligence Gathering in the conquered Otherworld Member Nations.
CIPHER POL-No.8 is responsible for covert Infiltration and Intelligence Gathering in unconquered Otherworlds, and also responsible for the Jurisdiction of Sea Ninja Village.
CIPHER POL-No.9 is responsible for carrying out Assassination or Elimination of important Targets with confirmed Intelligence from other Departments.
Finally.
Cipher Pol Aigis 0 will continue to serve as the Holy Shield of the Celestial Dragons, primarily responsible for the Protection of Holy Land Mary Geoise and the Security during the Celestial Dragons' Travel.
Of course, when necessary, they will also act as the Highest Combat Power Department for the Celestial Dragons, handling certain Matters that are not suitable for the Military to intervene in.
These mentioned above are just the confirmed Plans.
Next, they need to handle the work at hand while adjusting the Arrangement of Personnel, and simultaneously, the various Departments will Handover Missions that are not within their Scope of Authority to each other.
In conclusion.
Busy, everyone is busy, but it's good to be busy.
After the adjustments are made, although they will still be busy, it will definitely be a bit easier, as the Work Scope and Content have become clearer.
