Chapter 106: The Five Elders' Important Meeting!
Room of Authority.
"Hoo—"
Im, who had returned to the Tree House, let out a long sigh. He completely relaxed and plopped down on the Sofa, then took a gulp of top-tier Red Wine worth over a hundred million Berry outside.
To be honest, after revealing the existence of the Star Gate to the Five Elders, he felt the pressure in his Heart release. This was mainly because he had been tangled and annoyed by it before.
Now it was fine. How to conquer and develop Another World was no longer his concern. In the future, top Talents from all walks of life would slowly join in to handle it.
Anyway, the Control of the Star Gate was in his hands!
"But this way, I, the World Government, and the entire Sea Star Civilization are about to embark on the long journey of conquering the Multiverse. This is destined to be a journey without end, or rather, one that only ends with destruction. Whether this process takes a hundred years, a thousand years, or even just one year, it's all unknown..."
Im murmured with a complex mood. In fact, he had also thought about sealing the Star Gate forever, focusing on cleaning up the internal affairs of the Pirate Planet, and being the strongest behind-the-scenes Expert for a lifetime.
But what was the difference between that and closing the country off?
When Experts from outside the Universe descended one day, what would they do? Twenty-four years later, Space Pirates would descend upon the Moon above their heads.
Although their Strength didn't seem strong.
Instead of being attacked at their doorstep, it was better to muster the courage and use the convenience of the Star Gate to strengthen their own Strength and the Influence of the World Government.
Fight outwards!
Inside the Room of Authority, the Five Elders, who had returned, fell into a long silence. Everyone was thinking about everything they had just seen and heard, as well as future Matters.
"You speak first. According to Lord Imu's Order, the first batch of people to enter the Star Gate will be your Cipher Pol." Saint Topman Warcury was still responsible for opening and presiding over the meeting.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said in a deep voice, "Investigate the ecology, Environment, and Climate of Another World. If there is a Civilization, we also need to probe their system, Population, Ability, Technology, and Army Combat Power."
"To be honest, although the difficulty is great, we have many Intelligence Agents. The key is to control the number of people dispatched in this first batch to avoid attracting too much attention. My initial thought is to keep it within ten people. As for the specific candidates, I need some time to screen them."
"Okay, as soon as you are ready, send the people in immediately. We need to understand the general Situation of that World!"
Saint Topman Warcury nodded, then looked at Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who was wearing a Kimono, and asked, "According to Lord Imu's Divine Oracle, future Military Combat against other Worlds will gradually be centered around the Army. Therefore, the Combat Power of this Troops must be increased as soon as possible. Do you have any thoughts?"
The latter calmly said, "What thoughts could I have? Just execute Lord Imu's Divine Oracle. I think there's no problem. I just need to manage the Army's re-equipping. Your Political Affairs Department needs to approve it quickly, and we'll order the Materials quickly and send them to the Factory for manufacturing."
According to Im's Order, the Army's Breech-loading Repeating Flintlocks would all be replaced with Automatic Rifles from North Blue in the future, and they would be equipped with Tanks and other Armored Vehicles.
If they were to do this, they would need the Manufacturing Plant under the Military Department to produce the Weapons, but ordering the Materials for manufacturing required approval from the Political Affairs Department.
For example, if the Marines wanted to add five Warships, they would need to apply for approval from a department in the Political Affairs Department. Only after approval could they order them from Water Seven.
Of course, they could also directly order ready-made Weapons from Various Islands and countries in North Blue, but that also required prior approval from the Political Affairs Department before they could start spending the Military Budget.
Although it seemed redundant, this was a necessary political measure, belonging to procedural Justice.
"I don't believe you can't see it. Lord Imu wants to use the Army to counterbalance the Marines," Saint Topman Warcury said with a grin.
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, I think what Lord Imu said is perfectly fine. The Worlds we encounter in the future may not all be ninety percent ocean like our World. Ground Combat will naturally require the Army to go up. Could the Marines charge with Warships?"
"Indeed, I feel that the Army will become increasingly important over Time, while the Marines can only stay on the Homeland for most of the Time..." Saint Marcus Mars pondered and offered his opinion.
"That's why Lord Imu said he would find Time to transfer Officers from the Marines who are suitable for the Army. Heh heh, before, we were always troubled by the Marines being too strong. Now it's fine, everything is easily resolved!"
"Lord Imu's wisdom is beyond our reach. Just follow his lead," Saint Jaygarcia Saturn maintained his usual firm and fanatical Attitude.
"Although the World on the other side of the Star Gate is important, we also have many Matters on our hands here on the Homeland: Slaves, Pirates, Heavenly Tribute. Lord Imu also attaches great importance to these. We must quickly deal with these troubles and not let them become Stumbling Blocks to our conquest of the Stars and Multiverse!"
Saint Topman Warcury's words received unanimous agreement from the other four present.
Before, they had doubts about these changes, but after learning about the Star Gate and the Multiverse, they no longer had any unnecessary thoughts.
To fight outwards, they must first resolve their worries at home!
"The Slave issue can be gradually dealt with after the upcoming Reverie. However, the Matter of the Heavenly Tribute Reform can only wait until the next Reverie four years from now. We cannot wait until then to dispatch personnel into the Star Gate, and those Pirates are also a big trouble."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said so.
"Then let's deal with the first Alien World while cleaning up our own issues. If the latter is too dangerous, at most we'll sacrifice a batch of CP Agents. Didn't Lord Imu say that his Control over the Star Gate is absolute and he can close it at any Time!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn held Shodai Kitetsu and spoke extremely cold words forcefully. However, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter also nodded in agreement.
For this group of people, whether it was Cipher Pol or the Marines, they were all tools, all for the permanent Rule of the Celestial Dragons!
"Oh, speaking of the Heavenly Tribute Reform, the Fleet sent to bring back Administrative Talent and Financial Talent from Various Islands should be returning soon. When they arrive, immediately fill them into the various departments that have been set up."
"Let the Celestial Tribute Collection and Management Committee be responsible for the Research on the Heavenly Tribute issue!" Saint Topman Warcury thought for a few seconds before recalling the Name of this department.
This was because, according to Lord Imu's Reform Plan, the Political Affairs Department had recently added many new departments, but there were almost no people working in them. Weren't they all waiting?
"Hey, your Political Affairs Department will have people soon, so you don't need to worry. But I don't know where to find people for the Reform on my Judiciary side..."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn looked quite troubled.
"Legal Talent are too specialized, and that Ministry of Police Affairs also needs a lot of personnel. Although Lord's Plan mentions that some Marines from the Four Blues Branch can be transferred to us, the supervisors are the key!"
"You're still complaining? According to the Plan, most of the Marine Branches in the Four Seas will become your Police Stations in the future. You should be secretly happy!" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn snorted, truly unable to stand the other party's attitude of taking advantage while still complaining.
Lord Imu's meaning was very clear: in the future, the Marines would be responsible for Matters at sea, while the investigation and arrest of Criminals on Various Islands in each country would be the responsibility of the Ministry of Police Affairs under the Judiciary.
Of course, if a Criminal escaped to sea, the Ministry of Police Affairs could not interfere arbitrarily, at most they could cooperate and exchange Intelligence.
Clearly, this was another way to counterbalance the future Authority of the Marines!
Fortunately, these things would take Time and would definitely not see major changes within at least a year or two...
Dear Great Readers, Little Author couldn't withstand your various impatient urging, so I chose to reveal the Star Gate to the Five Elders in advance. You know, according to the original outline, this plot would have been placed on the day the Reverie began, and then people would be officially sent into Another World after a few more chapters.
How about it, are you moved, my wise and incomparable Great Readers? (Little Author looks at you weakly)
But yes, this kind of thing won't happen very often in the future. Little Author feels that I should still write steadily according to my own ideas. It's better than the story collapsing, right?
Please give this Book some patience, and also give Little Author some patience. This Book is very long, you know, this is the Multiverse!
Regarding the content about Play Tennis, I have also received feedback from some Readers. Little Author apologizes for this here, because when I was writing about Tennis Ball, I was very Excitement.
Because I myself really like reading Fanfiction with a Prince of Tennis theme, and I also particularly like watching anime like Pirate, I always wondered if it would be more exciting if these people used various Abilities to Play Tennis than Prince of Tennis itself, so I wrote it into this Book.
This is just a little bit of Little Author's own personal preference, can I ask the Great Readers to understand? Of course, I promise not to write too much of it, please, please!
Regarding the issue of future female characters, I can only say that the requirements in this area of the Book are relatively strict. Ordinary people cannot enter. Otherwise, if I take in every Beauty I see, it will become a Harem Protagonist, right?
Everyone is a man, please put more attention on the protagonist's career and Strength, thank you.
Finally,
(End of this chapter)
