Chapter 697 Cabinet Work

"The progress of the flying battleship project is at least 30% slower than expected! This is the result under the premise that Earl Brandlis has done a lot of preliminary work before. As the project continues to advance, this error will only get bigger and bigger!" At the cabinet meeting, the Minister of Industry and Commerce in charge of the flying battleship project was distressed and explained the situation to his colleagues.

After Perfect announced her retirement, all the work she was responsible for was handed over to other people.

After all, it is still uncertain when Perfect will come back, or even whether she will come back at all. Now that things are at this point, it is impossible not to do it.

So everyone in the cabinet shared a little of the responsibility in order to take over the work that Perfectok was originally responsible for in her absence, so as to avoid the country coming to a standstill due to Perfectok's absence.

But it was not until they did these things themselves that they clearly discovered how talented Perfect was.

Not only did she shoulder a workload that required the entire cabinet to share, but her processing speed was more than three times the efficiency of the entire cabinet working together!
It can be said that she alone is equivalent to a cabinet, and it is the most efficient and wise cabinet.

"How on earth did Countess Brandelis do it? She was able to handle so many things at the same time, and do each one quickly and well! I wish I had this ability!" Another cabinet member wailed, because he needed to deal with the funding issues for the project construction related to the flying battleship program, and this was almost driving him crazy.

The flying battleship project is deeply tied to the five-year economic development plan formulated by the cabinet. In the past, under Perfecto's overall planning, the project ran smoothly.

She raised funds from nobles and capitalists, and then invested the funds in key projects of the plan, thereby driving the development of the entire industry.

The nobles and capitalists who invested money also drove the expansion of their own industries through the development of the entire industry. Everyone could make a fortune without delaying the progress of the project.

But this requires extremely strong overall planning and coordination capabilities, because the progress of all projects, as well as the involvement and distribution of interests of all parties must be comprehensively considered.

Perfect didn't care. She didn't need to consider balancing the forces of all parties. As long as she made no mistakes in general, she could ensure that most people could get the benefits they wanted.

Because the entire project was brought about by her, she was able to control everything with a strong sense, and anyone who opposed her would be kicked out by her without mercy.

So there were only others begging her, but never the time when she begged others.

Even if some small nobles or capitalists suffered losses in the distribution of benefits, as long as there was no loss and there was still profit, they would not complain to Perfect.

Of course, they are not qualified.

Even if it was a loss or bankruptcy, these "little things" would hardly appear in front of Perfecto and bother her.

The Earl of the North was busy with many things and had no mood to deal with these trivial matters. As for the nobles? They would not offend someone like Perfecto for a little profit, especially when there was more than just a little profit involved.

They have more to consider and are naturally willing to pay more.

But what if it was someone else? That would be embarrassing. Cabinet officials could not suppress the nobles and capitalists involved in the entire plan. Most of the time, they could only compromise, and there was no way to make the nobles and capitalists give in.

They always fight for what they 'deserve', don't they?
"Little Perfect is perfect. She can handle everything as long as she wants to." Princess Anne rubbed her tired forehead, sighed and continued, "But we can't. We don't have her genius mind, so we can only use stupid methods to make up for our lack of efficiency by using more manpower."

"Perhaps we can use other methods? I heard that Count Brandlis invented a difference machine, which has simple thinking and calculation abilities and can replace some people's work." A cabinet member of the Northern Territory tried to speak. In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he also gave an example: "All large robots in the North are currently equipped with similar equipment, even those maid dolls. Perhaps the cabinet can consider approving a special budget to purchase some difference machines to handle simple government affairs?"

This was not a suggestion he made because of his identity as a member of the Northern Faction, but doing so could effectively improve efficiency.

Victoria's mathematical skills were not outstanding. The best and most accomplished person in this field in the Old World was France.

But considering that France's capital was hit by a round of thermobaric bombs dropped by Perfecto, the entire city was reduced to ashes, and those scholars and research results were also sent to the sky, it is obvious that this aspect cannot be relied upon.

In the North, the difference engine has already had initial applications in certain industries.

Although Perfect used the Difference Engine more as an experimental instrument and alchemical part, it is undeniable that it is indeed very useful.

Some relatively well-connected businessmen obtained some not-so-advanced difference engines. After all, the most advanced difference engine was jointly made by Perfect and Sandrion. That machine used micro puppets to replace the computing unit, and its computing power was comparable to the first generation of computers in the original world.

But even the relatively primitive difference engine, which required shaking gears to perform calculations, still provided great help to those businessmen.

The Difference Engine can calculate much faster than humans and is capable of performing very complex numerical operations with far greater reliability and accuracy than humans.

"Perhaps we should really try to replace the human brain with machines. Not everyone has the genius mind of little Perfect. We really need some help to free us from tedious calculations." Princess Anne strongly supported this. After all, she was not good at math, but there were too many things that needed to be calculated in the implementation of the five-year economic development plan.

"But even if we solve the calculation difficulties, we still have a lot of work to do! It's hard to imagine that Countess Brandelis could handle so many things alone before. How did she do it?" Another cabinet official was responsible for statistics of all projects. He had the most intuitive feeling about how much the cabinet needed to do.

"Perhaps if we want to solve the problem, we still need to invite Earl Brandless back. The flying battleship project needs her genius mind to point out our mistakes." Prime Minister Wellington said this as he looked at the cabinet members in front of him who were exhausted from working overtime.
