1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 309 Organization and Personnel Adjustment

For everyone, the group's achievements during the year are something to be proud of. Victory Port can change from a barren land a year ago to a current trading port. It can be said that everyone is proud of this. made its own contribution.This applause is not dedicated to the master of ceremonies on the stage, but everyone is applauding for their own performance.

Amidst the applause, Ning Qi invited Tao Donglai, the original organizer of the time-traveling operation and the current head of the executive committee, to deliver a speech to everyone.

As usual, Tao Donglai did not prepare a speech, but improvised: "Everyone, a year ago when we decided to leave the original world and come here to open up a new world, I think most of us I don’t have a very clear vision for the future. We have experienced many difficulties together and completed many ideas together during this year. I think, if I were to ask you about your life goals now, it would definitely be more important than it was a year ago. It is clear and specific, and so is the goal of our group. If I were to express it, I would say that our short-term goal is to establish a comprehensive social system that is conducive to the development of productivity!"

"In this plenary meeting, whether it is institutional adjustments, formulation of laws and regulations, or this top-down reelection of executive committee members and personnel adjustments, all measures are aimed at this goal. At this point, I hope that everyone in our group can have a unified understanding, clear goals, firm beliefs, and work together!"

Tao Donglai paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "I don't want to say more about the bureaucratic words. You didn't come here today to listen to my report. The time is limited. Let's continue to follow the meeting procedure. The next step is to count the votes for the executive committee reelection. Ning Qi, count the votes!"

Ning Qi walked to the microphone and said, "Please come to the front of the supervision team to check the vote counting process!"

The supervision team is randomly selected by various departments, with a total of ten people. This is done to show everyone the fairness and openness of the vote counting work.Several people carried the two glass ballot boxes to the front of the venue, and then Ning Qi unlocked the ballot box, and the staff of the Ministry of Civil Affairs began to count and count the votes.There is also a large whiteboard next to the ballot box with the names of each candidate on it. During the process of counting the ballots, the number of votes on the whiteboard is constantly updated in real time.

Although the process was dull, no one made a sound of impatience at this time.Even if they participated in the voting of mass representative elections before crossing, very few people have experienced the whole process of counting and counting votes, so most of them still have some novelty about it.

Ning Qi also seized the time to explain the voting process to the members: "...this voting is a secret ballot open to all adults in the group. According to the voting rules, eleven members under the age of 16 will be excluded. , there are a total of 430 nine people who are eligible to vote. If more than half of the members vote, the voting result will be valid. The result is based on the number of votes counted by the vote counting working group, and the eight candidates with the most votes, plus Tao Dong Come to the committee members to form the next Supreme Executive Committee. If there is an equal number of votes in the final selection, the relevant candidates will be voted again until the result is determined."

The ones who are more nervous at this time are probably the few new candidates in the audience.These people are all representatives of the young and strong faction in the time travel group, and they have already demonstrated relatively strong working ability at a young age. No matter whether they can win this election or not, they are already regarded as rising political stars within the group up.

Judging from the counting data displayed on the whiteboard, Yan Chujie, as expected, was far ahead of the others.Just the huge establishment of the Military and Police Department plus some units related to the military industry can ensure that he will get at least 200 votes. The group obtained a lot of economic benefits and political conditions, which also won a lot of neutral votes for Yan Chujie.

And behind them are Bai Kesi, Ning Qi, Yuan Ruoxiu and others with a relatively stable ticket source. Because they are responsible for relatively large departments, they have relatively more basic votes.Meng He, Gu Kai, Schneider and others, who have fewer staff in the department, keep pace with several newcomers, and the gap has not been widened for the time being.

It didn't take long to count the [-] or so votes. After more than ten minutes, the first round of counting was declared complete.In order to ensure that the statistical results are accurate, the supervision team and the vote counting team will also jointly review the ballots once.But at this time, based on the statistical data recorded on the whiteboard, the final result can be basically guessed.

After waiting for another 10 minutes, Ning Qi stepped onto the podium and announced the election results to the members present: "A total of 410 seven valid ballots have been received in this voting activity, and the voting ratio has exceeded the requirements of the rules. According to the statistical verification of the group, the results of this voting activity are true and valid. Below is the list of the top eight candidates with 270 votes, and the winner is Yan Chujie..."

Yan Chujie stood up and bowed to express his thanks to the applauding members behind.

In the final voting results, except for Yan Chujie, Bai Kesi, Ning Qi, and Yuan Ruoxiu who were relatively ahead, the rest of the votes were not much different.Yue Zhiyun was the first among the three young people to be shortlisted in the top eight, and successfully became a full-time member in one fell swoop from the "observing executive committee member" who attended the executive committee meeting for a long time. This result is actually in line with the increasingly important status of the shipping department.

However, the competition between Zhou Hengxing and Ren Liang was even more intense. The votes of both of them and Meng He were very close. In the end, Ren Liang squeezed into the top eight with 87 votes, pushing Zhou Hengxing and Meng He out of the circle. outside.

Although Zhou Hengxing was generally favored before the voting, he was still defeated in the final voting session.However, some analysts made hindsight opinions after the fact, thinking that Zhou Hengxing had been stationed overseas for a long time, so that his presence in the base camp was not enough. In addition, Gu Kai, who was originally not favored by the public, was pulled down because of the news of the establishment of the Ministry of Justice. Back a lot of popularity.In addition, Gu Kai and Zhou Hengxing's main ticket sources are from Heitu Port, so it is reasonable for Gu Kai, who has a better foundation in the base camp, to win.

After the voting results were announced, the list of members of the new executive committee was immediately born.Tao Donglai, Yan Chujie, Bai Kesi, Yuan Ruoxiu, Ning Qi, Gu Kai, Schneider, Yue Zhiyun, and Ren Liang, a total of nine people, will form the first formal Supreme Executive Committee and take over all decisions of the temporary executive committee Manage affairs.According to the rules set by the preparatory committee for the crossing operation, the term of this executive committee is four years, that is, the next reelection will not be held until 1632.

As for the internal operation rules of the Executive Committee, it is still the same. Although there is no requirement to select a principal from the Executive Committee, according to the previous operating model, Tao Donglai will definitely continue to play the role of honorary chairman of the Executive Committee .

However, before the new internal meeting of the executive committee is held, there are still a series of institutional personnel adjustment plans to be announced at the plenary meeting.These adjustment plans had already been approved by the Executive Committee before this, and they were only made public on this occasion.Some have even entered the implementation stage. For example, the preparations for the formation of the navy have already completed the recruitment of personnel, and even the office locations have been arranged.

Tao Donglai came to power again and announced this series of adjustment plans.The first major project is the establishment of the Ministry of Justice, and the establishment of all three systems of the Public Security Bureau and the Law Department at one time-although the procuratorial and legal departments are likely to be empty shell units for a period of time, the previous Executive Committee You will think that you can set up the shelf in the right way first, and then slowly fill in the content according to the development process.

As a leading legal professional in the Time Travel Group, Gu Kai will serve as the Minister of Justice and concurrently serve as the presiding judge of the Supreme Court.In addition, he will also be responsible for drafting and formulating the first constitution of the Traveling Group, as well as the supporting civil laws, criminal laws, commercial laws, etc.Compared with trial cases, this task is much more onerous.

And his foreign girlfriend Risa, who also came from a lawyer background, was entrusted by the executive committee with the position of head of the Supreme Procuratorate.Although this appointment may seem a bit too bold to some people, for the time-traveling group that lacks professionals, this order from the executive committee is actually somewhat helpless.Of course, there is applause for those who are worried. After the announcement of Risa’s appointment decision, there was a burst of applause among the participants that could not be ignored, and most of them were female members. As a representative of feminists, Risa Among the female members of the Time Traveling Group, they have quite high prestige.

Another institutional adjustment measure for the judiciary is to spin off the police department of the General Police Department and place it under the name of the Ministry of Justice.The new department, named the Department of Public Safety, is primarily responsible for internal security matters.According to the organizational setup of later generations, the public security department should have been at the same level as the judicial department, but the Executive Committee considered its own specific situation. If the so-called Ministry of Justice did not have the full assistance of the law enforcement department, it would not be able to deal with it at all. Ordinary people have any authority, so they finally decided to assign this law enforcement department to the Ministry of Justice for unified management.

All the members of the former military and police department in charge of police affairs and public security were transferred to the new public security department, and the head of this new organization was held by Ren Liang, who was a prison guard and was just elected executive committee member.Since he had done a very good job in the management of the labor camp, no one expressed any objection to the appointment of the Executive Committee.

The Naturalized Civil Security Force, which was originally subordinate to the Military and Police Department, will also change its banner this time and officially change its name to the police, implying that "the police should be the first, and the police should be the last."The name change is trivial, but the meaning behind it is not just the name change. Originally, the nature of the security team was only a local self-organized law and order maintenance force, which was lower than the militia. Most foreign Ming people did not wear these in black The security team takes it seriously.However, after the restructuring and renaming, the public security police will become a permanent law enforcement force, which is fundamentally different from the original security force in terms of nature.

In addition to taking over the internal security control, labor camp system, entry-exit management, fire protection and other work that the former military and police department was responsible for, the newly established Public Security Department will further expand its responsibilities and authority, and cooperate with the Ministry of Civil Affairs Started to establish the naturalized household registration system, and imitated the form of the police station, and began to set up grassroots management units in various regions.

Of course, it is still relatively difficult to further refine the organizational setup according to the distribution of functions. The lack of management personnel is still a bottleneck restricting the improvement of the organizational structure.The current problem of various departments is not to worry about the large number of redundant staff brought about by the refinement of the organization, but that there are simply not enough clerical staff to achieve this kind of functional refinement.Relying on the training of talents through the group's own education system, the speed can't keep up with the needs of development, but this can only be done after the immigration work is gradually promoted, and more available talents can be introduced from outside.

Compared with the increasingly large militia combat organization, the number of naturalized civilian police under the Public Security Department is really shabby, only about [-] people.However, in view of the fact that the proportion of armed personnel in the population of the region is already insanely high, after Ren Liang takes office, it is estimated that there is not much chance for the executive committee to pass a resolution on expanding the police force.Therefore, for Ren Liang, how to make good use of the limited police force to control the security situation in the jurisdiction will also be a difficult challenge.

The second major organizational adjustment is the military and police department.In addition to separating the police department from the military and police department, the division of the army and navy is also a major move in this institutional adjustment.

After the police department was stripped off, it would be unfair to call it the Military and Police Department, so a name change was imperative.However, directly changing the name to the Ministry of National Defense seems to be too ostentatious, and it does not fit the theme of focusing on development and keeping a low profile at this stage.As for changing the name to "Military Department", let alone, the Executive Committee currently has no plans to directly confront Daming.The people in the military deliberated, and finally decided to use the name "Military Commission", which sounds rather vague in function, and called it "Haihan Military Commission" to the outside world, and it was not easy to violate Ming's taboo because of this.

The army department will basically continue to use the original personnel and establishment, and the entire combat system will not change much. Yan Chujie will be the commander of the army, Tao Donglai will be the deputy commander, and Haru Gong, who served as the deputy commander in chief during the Vietnam aid operation, will be the chief of staff. .It is worth mentioning that Qian Tiandun, who made great achievements in the previous battle, will also be promoted to be the battalion commander of the "Annan Colonial Area Independent Battalion" that is still on paper.

Compared with the established army, the newly established navy is relatively more troublesome, and some warships and sailors are already in place. However, the biggest problem facing the navy is not these two aspects, but the serious lack of ship commanders.

Although the military's human resources are relatively abundant, one of the biggest obvious flaws is personnel without previous navy service experience.It is quite a miracle that among the dozens of members who have served in the army, none of them are from the navy.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is, the navy must be established after all. When there are no ships, they can build warships in Victory Port by themselves, and they can naturally be cultivated without commanders.Having said that, although there are no people from the navy, the military does have professionals in navigation.

Under such circumstances, Wang Tom, who has always been treated as a half-foreigner because of his overseas background, has finally been reused by the military.Tao Donglai publicly announced at the venue that Wang Tom will serve as the newly established supreme commander of the navy, the post of naval commander.

Tom Wang has never had any problems in the previous missions, and he has made great contributions to the establishment of the Annan Colonial Area by the Crossing Group. Time to participate in the battle on the front line, the performance is obvious to all, this time it can be reused can be said to be a well-deserved result.And even those who don't like the North American gang have to admit that in the position of commander of the navy, there is really no other candidate in the Transit Group who is as proficient in navigation and has a certain military quality as Wang Tom.

Wang Tom's obsession with sailing is also well known. The main reason why this guy chose to participate in the crossing operation was to become a famous navigator in the 17th century.As for the development strategy of Time Travel Group, working in the navy is probably the best way to realize his dream.Therefore, in terms of the appointment of this personnel, the military and Wang Tom himself hit it off, and Wang Tom immediately agreed to the military without even putting forward any additional conditions.

However, Wang Tom regretted that his other friends were unable to serve in the navy with him because of the heavy workload in the departments they were in charge of.In this regard, the executive committee finally made some concessions and compromises. The other five members of the North American gang will serve as special military advisors in the navy. If necessary, they can directly serve as naval officers and go out with the army.After all, this group of people all have strong sailing capabilities, even if they can't directly board the warship to serve as naval officers, at least they have to use it as a reserve force.

Compared with the army unit that has been in the army for more than half a year and has received the baptism of actual combat, the newly established navy can be said to be still in its toddler stage.Although the military deployed Wang Tom, a navigation expert, for the navy, he had never commanded a sea combat force in the 17th century, and everything had to be explored from scratch.

According to Wang Tom's personal opinion, if the navy wants to form a large-scale combat force, in addition to a powerful maritime fleet, it must have corresponding training institutions to continuously provide crews and sailors for this maritime force.Compared with the army, the navy needs to learn a lot more, and it will be difficult to meet the executive committee's request for the navy to form a combat capability as soon as possible simply by relying on the existing training system for combatants.
