Chapter 738: How Many Officers Does the World Government Have?
Sea Star Mainland.
The conclusion of the 1502 Reverie and the end of the Liberation Day Gala caused intense upheaval and clamor throughout the entire World.
Previously, only the Officials of the World Government were busy working tirelessly every day. Now, however, all the Allied Kingdom Royalty, Nobility, and even the Common People at the bottom levels were compelled to take action, striving to keep up with the World Government's pace of development. At the same time, they more closely felt the Great Tide of the Era sweeping over them.
The World Government had promised the Kings of all Affiliated Countries. Once the League of Nations in the Demon Slayer World was formally established and joined the World Government as the main entity, the Star Gate leading to that World would be opened to the Royalty of the various Kingdoms on World. At that time, they could form Kingdom Merchant Fleets and engage in Free Trade with the countries in the Demon Slayer World. But there was a Requirement. They must complete the Basic Living Conditions Guarantee Work for all their Citizens and pass the audit conducted by Investigation Teams dispatched by the Relevant Departments of the World Government. Whichever country completed it first would gain priority Right of Passage. In any case, the World Government's Target was that every Sea Star Person would have a house to live in and food to eat, and be able to live and work with dignity in the Future. That is, to achieve a truly Moderately Prosperous Society!
To be honest, the majority of the various Resources needed during the implementation of this Bill were actually provided by the World Government. Especially for those poor Small Countries and Small Islands. The World Government was basically helping them build the main facilities of their Cities free of charge. This deeply moved the Royalty of many Small Countries, leading to instances where they voluntarily gave up their Kingdom Qualification and became Cities under the direct Jurisdiction of the World Government. Just like Water Seven and Sabaody Archipelago. This led the Higher-ups of the World Government to ponder deeply. Many Small Countries on the Sea Star Mainland seemed truly unnecessary to exist as countries. After all, they were simply too small.
Meanwhile.
The formal introduction of the Law on Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration.
Also plunged the Holy Land Treasury Department under the Grand Steward Institute and the Police Stations in various places into exceptional busyness.
Because as people in various places continuously became Billionaires overnight by handing over Devil Fruits, and this was heavily promoted by the Propaganda Department on the Official Live Channel and the World Economic Journal. More and more people spontaneously bought the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and then started searching for Devil Fruits around them. They started by searching the mountain Jungles on their own Islands. After digging these places three feet deep, they either became lucky winners who got rich overnight, or they found nothing and chose to take a Ship to nearby Islands to continue searching. This caused a large number of Ships of all sizes to appear on the Great Sea everywhere, giving people a Feeling that the 'Great Pirate Era' had reappeared in the World.
But these Ships were not Pirate Ships, but sailed under the Flag of Adventure Groups. Then they publicly claimed to be 'Devil Fruit Hunters', explaining that they were Adventurers specifically helping the World Government find Devil Fruits.
This also made the Marine Headquarters lively. After all, among these so-called 'Devil Fruit Hunters', there were certainly some Bastards who committed excessive acts, such as killing people to steal Fruits or something similar. Once such acts were discovered, Bounties would need to be issued, and they would be Arrested as Pirates.
Naturally.
In such an Atmosphere, the World Government also collected a continuous stream of Devil Fruits from the Four Seas and various places, and the Contact Information of registered Devil Fruit Users.
This immediately triggered a Talent Scramble among various Departments. The Marines, Army, Air Force, and even Cipher Pol and the Ministry of Police Affairs, all offered high Treatment to attract these Ability Users to join. Furthermore, the Royalty of those Strong Countries and Rich Countries, in order to recruit Powerhouses for the Merchant Caravans they were forming, also generously spent vast sums to join this 'Ability User Scramble'.
Especially the contestants who achieved excellent Results in the previous 'Top 100 Combat Power Competition' and had not yet joined any Influence/Power, became sought-after hot commodities.
The World Government had no intention of stopping this kind of thing. In the eyes of Im and the Five Elders, this kind of internal Benign Competition was quite good and even worth Encouragement.
"There are so many unqualified people in the Military..."
Still on Noah's Ark in the Titan World.
Im sat in the Study Room, looking displeased at the Document on the table.
This was the Result Report of the 'First Military Triennial Officer Combat Power Assessment' that had just concluded a few days ago. It stated that over a thousand Officers of various ranks did not even meet the basic Condition for the first Physical Fitness Assessment. This included one Vice Admiral and two Rear Admirals.
These people would certainly be Demoted next. However, the good news was that a large number of Officers also performed better than their current Military Rank level, and these people needed to be Promoted. Overall, this major Assessment had a very good Effect. It not only gave the Military High Command a deeper understanding of the Situation of the Officers in the Military but also optimized and adjusted the Overall Structure of the Army, making Combat Power and Military Rank a better match.
At the same time.
It also created a Sense of Urgency in the hearts of these Military Officers, as this kind of major Assessment would be conducted every three years from now on. This required them to maintain their Physical Condition and continuously improve upon it to keep their Military Rank.
It is worth mentioning that Enel gained fame among the Three Forces through this major Assessment. Not only because of his Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability, but also because he defeated challenging Officers of various ranks starting from Colonel, leaping to become the current Air Force Vice Admiral.
There was just one regrettable point. When Enel finally challenged an Admiral, he encountered King, who also belonged to the Air Force Headquarters. After a fierce Thunder and fire battle between the two sides, Enel was ultimately defeated and his Path to Promotion stopped at the Vice Admiral level.
This was not surprising. The current King was extraordinary. At the age of twenty-seven, his Physical Condition had reached its peak. Furthermore, he had already mastered the Armament Haki Internal Destruction Technique, his Observation Haki had reached the level of Future Sight, coupled with Life Return, Six Styles Profound Meaning, and Swordsmanship that had reached the Swordsman Realm.
Overall.
The current King was definitely much stronger than the Future King!
The key was that the Lunarian race, under Im's instruction, had been freed from the World Government's centuries-long pursuit order and were allowed to Procreate and grow stronger.
Now the Biochemical Research Institute had obtained King's consent and cultivated a female Lunarian based on his Lineage Factor. And they guaranteed him that they would absolutely not implement any Ideological Imprints, and would definitely give him a fellow race member who was free in Body and Heart and healthy.
This point was also a Requirement from Im.
Returning to King.
Zephyr, the current Fleet Admiral of the Air Force, after seeing the battle between King and Enel, stated that King would definitely reach Admiral Level Combat Power before the age of thirty, or possibly even earlier!
That's right, he was talking about the Admirals of the past. After all, the current Admirals in the Military were already stronger than they were back then, and with the recent Assisted Cultivation using Gravity Fields, it was foreseeable that they would only get stronger and stronger.
"The Whole Army has seven Admirals, ten Admirals, one hundred fifty-three Vice Admirals, four hundred sixty-five Rear Admirals, one thousand five hundred twenty-one Commodores, and over one hundred fifty-four thousand Headquarters Officers of the four Field Grade ranks: Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, and Senior Colonel..."
Im looked at the final string of numbers on the Report, feeling slightly excited. These were the total number of Officers in the World Government's Whole Army after this major Assessment, or rather, these were the Available Combat Power under his command.
As for why the Officer Rank Combatants only numbered these hundred thousand or so, it was mainly because most of the Marines from the Four Seas had been transferred to the Ministry of Police Affairs. Coupled with this major Assessment. It also Demoted a large number of unqualified Majors back to Captain or First Lieutenant, causing the number of Officers (Field Grade) to shrink significantly.
However, the Overall Quality had improved greatly...
