The sea wind roared, and the waves were layered. Under the bright sunshine, the heavy waves hit the breakwater made of boulders and broke into tiny sprays.
The turbulent sea currents became calm after being blocked. In the harbor, the docked ships undulated slightly with the gentle fluctuations of the sea surface. The simple pier was busy, and several lever cranes creaked beside the suspended wooden platform.
The cargo is hoisted onto the transport ship; there are also stevedores coming and going, carrying bulk cargo up and down the gangplank.
Along the long coastline in Sbia, the number of such temporary military ports is as numerous as the stars on a summer night.
The war on the front line is in full swing, our own army is making rapid progress, and a large number of personnel and supplies are urgently needed to be shipped. However, all the ocean-going ships with powerful carrying capacity have been mobilized, and the logistics department only has small and medium-sized ships left, so the transportation of supplies can only be carried out by relay.
Almost every coastal town has received a large number of transshipment tasks recently and has fallen into an unprecedented busy scene.
There are all kinds of materials waiting to be transported, including ordnance and armor packed in hardwood boxes, various arrows packed in softwood boxes; clothing cloth wrapped in oilcloth, puree wine packed in oak barrels; and various legal texts, blank notices, badges and flags.
etc.; it even includes the children’s enlightenment book that has been implemented in Sibia... It does not require any professional vision. Even the porters know that most of the materials they handle are not directly related to the war, but rather appear to be in aid or relief operations.
Something indispensable.
In fact, this is not surprising at all, because the Sibia Alliance is engaged in a unification war. Every piece of land swallowed by it and every city occupied by it will not be returned to the original owner, but will be mapped on Sibia.
The map of the Biya Alliance is covered by the flags of the Al Qaeda family and the Third Faith.
These laws, these proclamations, and even these enlightenment books are all part of Sibia's will, and they are also the only weapons for assimilation and rule. Relying on them, Sibia can support a group of new nobles in the new land, and can
Minimize trouble.
Of course, in addition to supplies, there were also a large number of expatriates waiting at the port, but because the ships were too busy, they stayed and crowded the hotels and guard barracks. These people were alliance officials who were ordered to fill the vacancy in the occupied territories.
What they all have in common is that they are ridiculously young. If they had grown up in other empires, they would have been spending their youth in colleges or in the streets in their early twenties, but under Sibiya's hard training, they were already competent professional bureaucrats.
.
Dispatching personnel is not a trivial matter for the Sbia Alliance, because they have to enter the lands that have been or will be occupied by the army and implement the laws of Sbia in the jurisdictions. This first batch of personnel alone has a variety of people.
There are more than 10,000 people, which can be said to be the essence of the alliance. Many people who don't know the inside story are surprised and also wonder, where does the alliance come from so many reserve forces?
Since the recovery of the Sbia Empire, the imperial government has gone through several major changes. The finally established political system was actually developed with the Dark Province style as its core. To put it simply, this kind of system seemed extremely crazy before it succeeded.
The main characteristics of the political system are four sentences - separation of church and state, centralization of power, abolition of slavery, and weakening of feudalism.
In the view of the emerging senior leaders of Bisi, this kind of government, especially the first two characteristics, is actually what an empire should have. But in a place like Bisi continent where the upper class hangs like swords above their heads, power is not enough.
It may really be in the hands of the empire or the king. In order to achieve this grand political goal, many people died in Sibia, and many people died in Bis continent, and there will be people who will sacrifice for it in the future... Therefore, to achieve this,
To achieve such a vision, Cohen Keda must of course have sufficient talent and material reserves.
As part of the reform and as a strong support, Sibia opened a large number of educational institutions in the territory at the beginning of the restoration of the empire. Among them, the ratio of military colleges to government affairs colleges was 73:3. Needless to say, military colleges, government affairs colleges
On the other hand, from the initial emergency personnel to the subsequent full-training personnel, a small number of elites among each graduating class will be selected by the army, and almost all the rest will be stuffed into various ministries and city halls in the imperial capital.
With Cohen Keda and his imperial concubine leading by example, officials at all levels in Sibia have developed the habit of having multiple adjutants and secretaries. This quota is at least ten people. Therefore, these adjutants and secretaries with sufficient basic knowledge
Under the leadership of veterans, the assistants started from the lowest level and learned actual government management. Even if a group of people were sent out when the Three Empires of the Alliance were established, they only took away one-fifth of the total students. It can be seen that Sibi
Sub-high-level leaders value these people.
This is Sibia's talent training and reserve method. For this, Sibia paid a huge price. It can be said that in addition to the funds and resources to support the army, most of the empire's resources are consumed here, not even much.
All royal expenses were squeezed out... Because, when the Sibia bureaucracy was at its most massive, the ratio of student adjutants and assistants to formal officials was seven to one!
This is equivalent to having several more groups of officials in the empire in addition to the normal officials at all levels. The monthly salary expenses alone are a terrifying figure. If it were not for the massive war seizures and huge business profits, Sibia would
I simply can't hold it up.
Over the years, most of these young eagles who have matured directly under Cohen's wings have deep soul imprints. In addition to loyalty and determination, they have a more solid foundation, a broader vision, and know better than the old-school officials.
Flexible.
Today, these accomplished young people have finally been released. They are going to realize Sibiya's dream and continue the will of the alliance. After the war is extinguished, they will build a complete political system in their own territory.
Put Sibia-style institutions of justice, civil affairs, finance, construction, agriculture, animal husbandry, academics, security, etc. into every corner of the Bisi continent.
The entire territory of the Sbia Alliance, including the three independent empires, must be controlled by laws and officials to prevent the reverse flow.
Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, with their efforts, there will no longer be extremely miserable slaves on the continent, nor will there be any nobles who regard human life as trivial... The future of the Alliance, and the tomorrow of Bis Continent, will all
will be born in their hands.
A better tomorrow, a more hopeful tomorrow, this is Cohen Keda's war compensation for the Bis continent. As he said in his war message: "I am crueler than anyone else, and I am more generous than anyone else."
!”
Because of the major reversal in the battle against the false gods, and even more because of the smooth implementation of the Unification War, Cohen's sentence has become very popular among the Sibyans, everyone knows it and is loved. But it is not like a sentence.
It's a motto, but more like a joint code. Usually, from time to time, one person will shout out the first half of the sentence, and the people around him will shout out the second half in a tacit understanding.
"We are more cruel than anyone else..." Someone on the pier raised their arms and shouted, and everyone from the officers to the soldiers, including the porters, was swept up in this motto, "We are more generous than anyone else!"
"Hahahahahahaha - this is us - the Sibians!" The men laughed in unison. They are a local force between the regular army and the garrison. They do not need to study the overall situation, but they can enjoy the most.
The glory that victory brings.
It has to be said that with His Majesty the Emperor who is full of charisma and his tyrannical strength, most people in Sibia have been nurtured to become idealists. However, having said that, if it were not for the majority of idealists, Sibia would not be where it is now.
This step.
Isn’t it the most natural thing to celebrate with joy?
Therefore, anyone who can remain calm at such a time seems to be out of tune with everyone. The harbor guard soldiers cast suspicious eyes on the cliff behind the harbor many times. There is a group of silent people there, and they never want to join.
This kind of activity has a strong sense of recognition - but the superior ordered not to take care of it. That group of people is different from other expatriate officials. They are from the city.
Daicheng, in the hearts of Sibia people, is a sacred place, a city full of mystery and glory! It is understandable that people who come from Daicheng behave strangely... If they behave more kindly, it will be understandable
Better.
But this group of people has never been integrated into the happy atmosphere. They are self-contained and distinct from others. They seem to be unable to feel the friendliness and enthusiasm of others. Even if they walk together, unrelated people will be radiated by them.
An alternative atmosphere of exclusion.
"It is the calmness after experiencing life and death, a true pride." The commander who had been on the battlefield explained to his subordinates, "If you have established enough merits one day, you can also hold the allotment like them.
Wine jug, stand on the edge of the cliff and watch the waves."
"Sir," the subordinates asked eagerly, "How much merit does that require?"
"This..." the commander thought for a while, "probably... kill twenty opponents?"
"But we are only looking at the warehouse!" The men began to boo.
"If converted into a warehouse inspection, one hundred years would be enough!" The commander had his own plan, "But the time for questioning must be deducted."
The beaten guards gradually dispersed, and the commander secretly sighed. He knew that he could not have that kind of pride and excellence. Because in the previous battle, he and his soldiers did not have the opportunity to perform meritorious service.
Once you miss it, you will never come back.
"When can I hold a wine bottle and stand on the edge of the cliff watching the waves?" The guard captain shook his head and walked away.
A seabird, startled by his footsteps, flapped its wings and flew up, rising with the sea breeze, and finally hovering on the cliff behind the port, as if it was also full of curiosity about this group of people from the city.
On a sunny day, holding a silver flask and standing on a high cliff looking at the undulating ocean is undoubtedly a luxury thing. Of course, one of the prerequisites for this luxury is the mind of the person involved.
If you are broad enough, ambitious enough, and far-sighted enough, otherwise, those rolling waves and those grass and trees undulating with the wind will probably be meaningless.
The second premise is that the jug cannot be filled, and even if it is full, it cannot be filled with force. At most, it can only be drunk until you are tipsy... because drunkards cannot tell the truth.
But at the moment, this group of people has good self-control. There are more than a hundred people, and no one has shown a special preference for wine. They are tall, short, fat, thin, and even different in gender. They just stand casually in a row on the edge of the cliff, showing a strong military demeanor.
: Everyone has a hand on the side of the weapon, their calm but unfocused eyes are slightly raised, and their interlocking eyes are locked on the nearby passage.
In addition to the vigilance that all continental soldiers possess, they also have other characteristics. For example, each of them carries more than two weapons, fine personal armor under the smock, and ordinary-looking combat boots with soles and
The upper of the shoe is twice as thick... This is the standard equipment of Sbia's elite, and at this time, there are no other warriors who dare to form groups.
Yes, they are samurai, because they do not have the logo of the Sbia Union soldiers on their arms. Where they used to wear the legion badge, there is the golden badge of the Ninth Department of the Internal Affairs of the Sbia Union, which is also the inspection hall.
The Ninth Department of the Alliance's Internal Affairs, an organization that had never existed before in Sbia, was only announced to be established together with several alliance agencies when the crusade was about to set off. Its main members were also temporarily transferred from various ministries and even the army.
It does not belong to the reserve official sequence, nor does it have mature and applicable work regulations... In fact, in the final analysis, it is not a planned department.
In the preparations for the previous war, the General Staff of Sbia was unable to make an accurate prediction of the direction of the war, and the internal affairs department was unable to predict the final complexity of the war. Even if someone could consider these at the time, they would not have the ability to take precautions in advance.
Because Sibia wants to put all his energy into the war.
Therefore, this unification war has just begun, and a lot of problems have emerged.
Most of the problems do not come from the battlefield itself, but outside the battlefield - it is very simple. If you defeat a gang, the other gang will naturally run away. Generally, you do not need to spend any more thought. But if you defeat
If you kill all the gangs, those gang members will have no place to run. They want to eat and drink, and they all depend on you!
However, not counting Sibia itself and the two empires it destroyed before, there are still thirteen empires on the Bisi continent. Broken down, there are 209 provinces and nearly a thousand independent cities.
and reserved fiefdoms. In addition to the royal families and prominent nobles of various countries who are the direct targets of the war, there are also a large number of minor nobles, scholars, warriors, religious figures and local powerful people, not to mention the various branches descended from the thirty-six tribes, hidden in the mountains.
savages, aliens hiding on the island...
In short, it is impossible to effectively manage such a large territory and such a complex population with just an invincible army.
Even now, with the army's overwhelming strength, all kinds of problems are piling up in the areas that have been captured. In addition to general problems, people are starving to death in food-rich areas, and there is not a single horse in grazing areas.
Weird things also appeared one after another. Among them were factors affected by the war, factors concealing enemy sabotage, and factors including corruption and perversion of the law by temporary internal affairs officials accompanying the army.
This last factor is particularly shocking to senior officials because it heralds a huge problem that will arise in the future, that is, the supervision of illegal behaviors of expatriate officials. But a complete system is a matter of the future, and what Sibia’s senior leaders need to solve urgently is to survive.
This is a special period - but currently the military cannot solve it, the court system has not yet been established, and the Liaison Department cannot take care of it at all.
Therefore, the Inspection Department came into being. Several other departments that were born at the same time were also highly targeted, but they were not as conspicuous as it.
The function of the Inspection Office is between the Alliance Court and the Liaison Department. In addition to supervising the illegal activities of nobles and officials, it is also responsible for tracking down the dark forces within the country.
According to the explanation in the founding order, the Ninth Hall will dispatch branches to all provinces in the alliance. These stationed personnel are not subject to the jurisdiction of the empire where they are located, but they must be bound by the general laws of the alliance on a daily basis. When performing their functions, they will be dispatched overseas.
Personnel can request cooperation from the empire where they are located, but special tasks must be registered with the imperial court of the empire where they are located.
The Expatriate Branch of the Ninth Hall has the right to pay attention to the illegal behavior of ordinary nobles and officials and report it in a timely manner, and can intervene under special circumstances. As for all dark forces, as long as they are within their own jurisdiction, the Expatriate Branch will
It has undisputed investigative powers and can independently carry out arrests and interrogations, but cannot judge anyone... Finally, as a support for provincial-level expatriate branches, the Ninth Hall will be established in each imperial capital.
A headquarters, equipped with hundreds of elite armed forces.
Literally understood, the Ninth Hall is the product of the top management of Bisi to adapt to the situation. It leads directly to the alliance headquarters and has overwhelming power and strong troops. But in fact, without planning the future of Bisi continent, even the crusade failed to win.
Under the current situation, it was only a transitional agency, and its current responsibilities were only to assist the frontal battlefield and eliminate the remaining enemies on the occupied land. In the future, when the situation gradually eases, the inspection office will inevitably change.
Therefore, the power of the Inspection Office is temporary, and its prestige cannot last long.
But this kind of temporary appointment does not hinder the interest of the samurai at all. They are all strong warriors who have fought hard in previous wars. They can survive a series of fierce battles and establish meritorious deeds, and can be reunited again, no matter who they fight against.
It is a matter worth celebrating, not to mention that everyone is still with "Mom and Dad" who are very trustworthy.
Dad and Mommy, these two are well-known celebrities! (To be continued)
