Chapter 264: World Government Supreme Political Affairs Conference Three!
"Like all of you, I was initially very shocked, but as High-Ranking Official of the Government, I believe you have a certain capacity for acceptance."
Chief of Staff Alexander Watson, who is directly under the Supreme Executive Committee, continued to preside over the meeting in an orderly and effortless manner.
"I also know that you all have many questions, but the Documents in your hands differ to a certain extent depending on each person's Department and Position. Please save these questions for a detailed discussion during an Internal Meeting within your respective Departments."
"Now, we will proceed with the second Agenda Item of the meeting, which is also the main Agenda Item of this conference. I will read out the 'Strategic Planning Program for the Development of the Other World'."
"First..."
Everyone listened attentively to the Content of this Plan. However, these Contents were mostly Officialese, mainly discussing the impact of the Other World on the World Government and the World Government's basic Attitude towards the Other World.
Therefore, the High-Ranking Official present didn't pay too much attention. Everyone clearly understood that only the final part of this Plan was where their real concern and attention should lie.
As expected.
The key point was quickly delivered by Chief of Staff Alexander Watson, and the Spirit of everyone present was lifted.
"Sixth: Establish the Otherworld Strategy Committee, with Chief of Staff Fernandez concurrently serving as the Chairman of the Otherworld Strategy Committee, responsible for leading the Otherworld Strategy Committee!"
"Bulwer Gabriel, Vice Minister of the Political Affairs Department, Administrative Department, will concurrently serve as the Vice Chairman of the Otherworld Strategy Committee!"
"Marlon Wilfred, Vice Minister of the Political Affairs Department, Ministry of Finance, will concurrently serve as the Vice Chairman of the Otherworld Strategy Committee!"
"Hobson Samuel, Vice Minister of the Judiciary, Ministry of Justice, will concurrently serve as the Vice Chairman of the Otherworld Strategy Committee!"
"Kong Ming, Vice Minister of the Staff Department of the Supreme Military Command, will concurrently serve as the Vice Chairman of the Otherworld Strategy Committee!"
After announcing the Candidates for the main Vice Chairmen responsible for Government Affairs, Finance, legal affairs, and military affairs, Chief of Staff Alexander Watson proceeded to list the Candidates for the Committee Members below them.
"Next are the Transferred Personnel. You all have three days to complete the Handover Work in your Original Departments. After the Handover Work is completed, please immediately proceed to the Otherworld Strategy Committee to Take Office."
"Ali Philip, Deputy Director of the Industrial Division of the Political Affairs Department, Administrative Department, is Transferred to serve as a Committee Member of the Otherworld Strategy Committee. Bart Charles, Deputy Director of the Construction Department of the Political Affairs Department, is Transferred to serve as a Committee Member of the Otherworld Strategy Committee..."
Hearing this, many High-Ranking Official below couldn't help but start communicating in low voices. They had discovered that among those concurrently appointed or Transferred, except for Chief of Staff Fernandez, who was truly appointed at the same rank, everyone else was essentially promoted.
Because the Chairman of this Otherworld Strategy Committee clearly holds a Department Head Level position, the Vice Chairmen below naturally hold Ministerial Level positions. Therefore, those Vice Ministers of various Departments were equivalent to being promoted to the Ministerial Level.
The same applied to the Deputy Directors of various Divisions they were currently hearing about; after being Transferred to become Committee Members, they would be at the Director Level.
To be honest, this was indeed very appealing, but the key was that no one knew what the Environment of those Otherworlds was truly like. If the danger level was very high and involved taking great life risks, whether it was good or bad depended on individual perspectives.
"The main work of the Otherworld Strategy Committee is the Exploration, Development, and Recovery of all Other World Resources, as well as leading the Other World Native Forces!"
"It has the Authority to Mobilize personnel below the rank of Military Rear Admiral and below the Division Chief-level of Cipher Pol, in order to maintain all the Interests of the World Government in the Other World Native Land!"
"The Otherworld Strategy Committee will have multiple General Offices under it. Office Personnel will be Transferred from various Academies/Institutes, Departments, and Divisions as needed, and the Otherworld Strategy Committee will provide unified Guidance on Otherworld Development Matters!"
"Requirements: Personnel Transferred at all levels shall, according to their respective Duties and under the Guidance of the Otherworld Strategy Committee, carry out the Development of Other World Native Resources in a Scientific and Orderly manner!"
"Personnel from the Construction Department are responsible for carrying out large-scale Civil Engineering Construction for the World Government in the Other World Native Land. Personnel from the Agriculture Department are responsible for the Inspection, Cultivation, and Harvesting of Crops in the Other World Native Land. Personnel from the Commerce Division are responsible for the Evaluation, Testing, and Procurement of Goods in the Other World Native Land. And personnel from the Mineral Resources Department are responsible for..."
"The Kabane Resource Regeneration and Processing Plant will be jointly constructed by the Academy of Science and the Construction Department, with Technicians from the Industrial Division assisting Cipher Pol in Management and Protection."
"At the same time, all Transferred Personnel will receive Double Issuance of Salary and Benefits. Personnel with Excellent Work Performance in the Other World Native Land will also be prioritized as Assessment and Promotion Candidate for the Grand Committee. However, personnel who engage in Passive Sabotage or Obstruction of the World Government's Development work will face Serious Handling!"
Such a long passage of dense Content, the sheer Information Volume of which forced everyone to concentrate their Attention. As for the Military Admiral and Vice Admirals sitting in the back row observing, aside from Kong, Sengoku, and Tsuru, who possessed Political Wisdom, most were actually Bewildered, their Gazes flickering with Expression of being Impressed Without Understanding.
Their Feelings at this moment were probably the same: a Feeling that this is what the World Government truly is, and this is what the World Government is like when it gets serious!
"Next is the third Agenda Item of the meeting: Commendation for Officials who have performed outstandingly in the Other World Native Land!"
Speaking up to this point, Chief of Staff Alexander Watson's Expression carried a brighter Smile, and his Tone of Voice was controlled to be more stirring, pushing the Atmosphere within the Meeting Hall higher.
"Next, please welcome the Chief of Staff of the Supreme Executive Committee, Chairman Giro Lopez of the Grand Committee, to present Commendations to the three individuals who performed exceptionally well this time!"
"Addison, Senior Director of the Political Affairs Department, Administrative Department, and Larod, Senior Director of the Political Affairs Department, Administrative Department, will be awarded the West Third-Class Medal!"
"Dr. Fritz, Director of the Biochemical Research Institute, will be awarded the Soares Second-Class Medal!"
At the same time, the three individuals who had already put on their Formal Attire and were Ready below the stage, walked onto the Rostrum with clear Nervousness and Excitement on their faces, accompanied by Stirring Music.
However, compared to them, Director Fritz, being a Scientist and the Oldest, appeared much more Composed.
The Officials below were completely at a loss for words. Government six-level Medals were simply Legendary Existence to them.
Basically, only one or two would appear every hundred years. The most recent one was the Marine Hero Monkey D. Garp, who defeated the Ferocious and Evil Rocks D. Xebec in the Battle of God Valley fourteen years ago.
This caused many High-Ranking Official, and even the surrounding Vice Admirals, to subconsciously look towards this newly promoted Iron Fist Admiral Garp, especially at the Crimson Black Striped Epaulets on his Coat of Justice, which were different from those of other Admirals.
Actually, there should have been an East First-Class Medal on his Chest as well, but who could make Garp wear it if he didn't want to?
On the stage.
Chairman Giro Lopez had already pinned the Medals onto the chests of the Excited Addison and Lanode, and with a very Appreciative Expression, he Lightly Pat their Shoulders and said a few words of Encouragement and Praise.
This was actually a Commendation given by the World Government because the two were the main Participants in the Kabaneri World Strategy this time, intended to Motivate subsequent Officials.
But to say they truly did something worthy of being awarded a Medal, there really wasn't any Merit!
When it was Director Fritz's turn, even Chairman Giro Lopez's Attitude became much more Respect.
Immediately after, the three of them Bowed to the Five Elders and Supreme Commissioner behind them to express their Gratitude, then slowly descended the stage and left the Meeting Hall. Chairman Giro Lopez also returned to his Seat.
"Now we will proceed with the fourth Agenda Item of the Conference: A Speech by Supreme Executive Committee Member of the Supreme Executive Committee, Saint Topman Warcury!"
After speaking, Chief of Staff Alexander Watson was seen Respectfully Bowing towards the back, and then he Turned Sideways to stand beside the Podium.
Under the Intense Gaze of all Academy/Institute-level, Ministerial Level, Bureau Chief-level officials, and all Military Admiral and Vice Admirals of the Whole Army, Saint Topman Warcury Un hurried Stood Up and used his Gaze, which carried a considerable Sense of Oppression, to Scan the entire venue.
Immediately after, he performed a Strange Action. He was seen Bowing towards the direction of Mary Geoise, which caused everyone to Show a Strange Expression.
But Saint Topman Warcury had no intention of offering any Explanation.
"Everyone, the World Government is currently Facing the Overall Situation of a Great Change of a Thousand Years. None of our previous Experience is easily applicable. We have no Reference, no Retreat."
"I know that the upcoming Path of Conquest will be incredibly difficult, and it will be Accompanied By Countless Sacrifices and Challenges. But I hope even more that you understand that once we embark on this path, if it is not Glory, it will surely be Destruction."
"You are all a Part Of the World Government. Without your Collaborative Effort, all the Otherworld Strategy Plans will be difficult to Proceed with. Therefore, I hope everyone can Pay two hundred percent, no, three hundred percent, or even five hundred percent Effort."
"I know this is truly Asking the Impossible, but everyone must Understand that as the Constantly Increasing Quantity of conquered Otherworlds grows, the more the World Government, this Planet Sea, and everyone present will gain, such as Wealth, Health, Strength, Lifespan..."
"Everyone must Understand that no matter what we wish to Obtain, even things that are Unimaginable, we will surely be able to Find them in a certain World within the Myriad Worlds, because they Represent Miracles and Hope."
"Alright, this World Government Supreme Political Affairs Conference concludes here. I believe you will need to attend more Internal Meetings afterward, so I won't waste your Time or the World Government's Time any further."
"I now declare the meeting Adjourned!"
Stopping here, the main Content regarding the World Government Supreme Political Affairs Conference was completed under the Guidance and Suggestions of the Book Friend 'Master of Chinese Studies'.
Not only that, but the rich hierarchy of Departments within the World Government in this Book was also constructed by him. I only made minor adjustments.
Because in reality, he is an excellent Senior Civil Servant. I am very grateful for the strong assistance from the Book Friend 'Master of Chinese Studies'!
Oh right, the Chief of Staff of the Supreme Executive Committee and Chairman Giro Lopez of the Grand Committee in the Book were modeled after his nickname in the Reader Group.
Both I and 'Master of Chinese Studies' wanted to create a truly flesh-and-blood World Government in this Book. May everyone be able to encourage each other with us!
I believe this is the first time Readers have seen detailed Content about the World Government in a pirate novel, right? To be honest, I felt Excitement even while writing it myself!
