Chapter 309 Organization and Personnel Adjustments
For everyone, the achievements achieved by the group this year are something to be proud of. Victory Port can transform from a barren land a year ago into a trading port now. It can be said that everyone is proud of this. Made his own contribution. This applause is not dedicated to the emcee 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-travel operation and the actual helmsman of the current executive committee, to give a speech to everyone.
As usual, Tao Donglai did not prepare a specially prepared speech, but spoke directly impromptu: "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 We don’t have a very clear vision for the future. In this year, we have experienced many difficulties together and completed many ideas. I think if I were to ask you about your life goals now, you would definitely be more confident than a year ago. Clear and specific, and the same is true for the goals of our group. If I were to express it, I would say that our short-term goal is to establish a complete social system that is conducive to the development of productivity! ”
"In this general meeting, whether it is organizational adjustments, the formulation of laws and regulations, or this time the top-down reelection of executive committee members and personnel adjustments, all measures are aimed at this goal. At this point, I hope that all of us in this group can have a unified understanding, clear goals, firm beliefs, and work together!”
Tao Donglai paused for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "I don't want to say more in a bureaucratic tone. You are not here today to listen to my report. Time is limited, so we will continue to follow the meeting procedures. The next step is the vote counting for the executive committee election. "
Ning Qi walked to the microphone and said: "Please come to the front from the supervision team and check the vote counting process!"
The supervision team is composed of ten people randomly selected from various departments. This is also done to show everyone that the vote counting work is fair and open. Several people carried the two glass ballot boxes to the front of the venue, and then Ning Qi opened the lock of the ballot boxes, and staff from 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. As the votes are being counted, the number of votes on the whiteboard is constantly updated in real time.
Although the process was relatively boring, no one made any impatient noise at this time. Even those who have participated in voting in mass representative election activities before traveling through time travel have rarely experienced the entire process of opening and counting votes, so most of them still have some fresh feelings about it.
Ning Qi also took 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, except for the eleven people under the age of sixteen, There are a total of 439 members who are qualified to vote. If more than half of the members vote, the result of the vote will be based on the number of votes counted by the counting working group. The eight candidates with the most votes will be selected. Together with member Tao Donglai, the next Supreme Executive Committee will be formed. If there is a tie in the final candidates, the relevant candidates will be voted on again until the result is determined.”
The ones who are more nervous at this time are probably the new candidates in the audience. These people are all young representatives of the Time Travel Group. They have already demonstrated strong working ability at a young age. Regardless of whether they can win this election, they are already considered rising political stars within the group. .
Judging from the vote counting data displayed on the whiteboard in front, Yan Chujie is unsurprisingly far ahead of the others. Just the huge establishment of the Military and Police Department plus some units related to military industry can ensure that he will get at least 200 votes. The performance of the Military and Police Department in the Annan Civil War two months ago was outstanding, and it was a good example for time travel. The group has gained a lot of economic benefits and political conditions, which also won Yan Chujie a lot of neutral votes.
Behind them are Bai Kesi, Ning Qi, Yuan Ruoxiu and others who have relatively stable ticket sources. Because the departments they are responsible for are relatively large, they have relatively more basic tickets. Meng He, Gu Kai, Schneider and others, who had fewer staff in the department, kept pace with the newcomers and did not widen the gap for the time being.
The counting of the four hundred votes did not take long. After more than ten minutes, the first vote counting was completed. In order to ensure that the statistical results are accurate, the supervision team and the counting team will jointly review the votes. However, at this time, based on the statistical data recorded on the whiteboard, the final result can basically be inferred.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Ning Qi stepped onto the podium and announced the election results to the members present: "A total of 417 valid votes were received in this voting event. The voting ratio has exceeded the rule requirements. According to the vote count According to the statistical verification of the group and the supervision group, the results of this voting event are true and valid. Below is the list of the top eight candidates, with 271 votes, and the vote winner is Yan Chujie..."
Yan Chujie stood up and bowed to express his gratitude to the applauding members behind him.
In the final voting results, except for Yan Chujie, Bai Kesi, Ning Qi, and Yuan Ruoxiu, who were in the lead, the others were about the same. Yue Zhiyun was the first among the three young people to be shortlisted in the top eight. He was successfully promoted from a "observer executive member" who had been attending executive committee meetings for a long time. This result is actually in line with the increasingly important status changes of the maritime sector.
The competition between Zhou Hengxing and Ren Liang was even more intense. The votes between them and Meng He were very close. In the end, Ren Liang squeezed into the top eight with 87 votes, squeezing out Zhou Hengxing and Meng He. Outside the circle.
Although Zhou Hengxing was generally favored before the voting, he was still defeated in the final voting round. However, some analysts expressed hindsight opinions afterwards, believing that Zhou Hengxing had been stationed overseas for a long time, so that he did not have enough presence in the base camp. In addition, Gu Kai, who was not favored by the public at first, was suddenly withdrawn due to the news that the Ministry of Justice was to be established. It gained a lot of popularity. In addition, the main sources of tickets for Gu Kai and Zhou Hengxing are from Black Earth 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. A total of nine people, Tao Donglai, Yan Chujie, Bai Kesi, Yuan Ruoxiu, Ning Qi, Gu Kai, Schneider, Yue Zhiyun and Ren Liang, will form the formal first Supreme Executive Committee and take over all decisions of the interim executive committee. Management affairs. According to the rules set by the Time Travel Preparatory Committee, the term of this executive committee is four years, which means that the next election will not be held until 1632.
As for the internal operating rules of the Executive Committee, they are still the same. Although there is no requirement to elect a principal from among 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 organizational personnel adjustment plans to be announced at the plenary meeting. These adjustment plans had been approved by the Executive Committee before and were only announced 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 big project is to establish the Ministry of Justice, and to establish all three systems of public security, prosecution and law at once - although the procuratorial and legal departments are likely to be just shell units for a period of time, the previous executive committee I think I can set up the shelf in the right way first, and then slowly fill in the content according to the development process. As the leading legal professional among the Cross Travel Group, Gu Kai will serve as the Minister of Justice and concurrently serve as the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court. In addition, he will also be responsible for drafting and formulating the first constitution of the Crossing Group, as well as supporting civil laws, criminal laws, commercial laws, etc. Compared with trying a case, this task is much more arduous.
And his foreign girlfriend Raisa, who was also a lawyer, was appointed by the Executive Committee to be the top leader of the Supreme Procuratorate. Although this appointment seems a bit too bold to some people, for the Cross Travel Group, which lacks professionals, this order of the executive committee is actually somewhat helpless. Of course, those who are worried are applauded. After the announcement of Raissa’s appointment, there was a burst of applause among the participants that could not be ignored. Basically, they were mainly female members. As a representative of feminists, Raissa was in The female members of the Time Travel Group have a very high reputation.
Another organizational adjustment measure for the judicial department is to separate the police department of the Military Police Department and place it under the name of the Ministry of Justice. This new department was named the Public Safety Division and was primarily responsible for internal security matters. According to the organizational structure of later generations, the public security department should have been a unit at the same level as the judicial department. However, the Executive Committee took into account its specific situation and the so-called Ministry of Justice would not be able to handle the case without the full assistance of the law enforcement department. Ordinary people have no authority, so it was finally decided to place this law enforcement department under the Ministry of Justice for unified management.
All members of the former Military and Police Department in charge of police and public security were transferred to the new Public Security Department, and the top position of this new organization was taken by Ren Liang, who was a prison guard and had just been elected to the executive committee. Since he had done an excellent job in the management of the labor camp, no one raised any objection to the appointment by the executive committee.
The naturalized Civilian Security Force, which was originally affiliated with the Military and Police Department, will also change its flag this time and will be officially renamed the police, which means "police comes first, police comes last". The name change is a small matter, but the meaning behind it is not just a name change. Originally, the security team was only a local self-organized security force, which was lower than the militia. Most outsiders in black did not think of these people. The security team takes it seriously. However, after this restructuring and name change, the public security police will become a permanent law enforcement force, which is essentially different from the original security force in nature.
In addition to taking over the internal security control, labor camp system, immigration management, fire protection, etc. that were previously the responsibility of the Military and Police Department, the newly established Public Security Department will also further expand its responsibilities and authority and cooperate with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. A household registration system for naturalized residents was established, and grassroots management units were established in various regions in imitation of police stations.
Of course, it is still difficult to further refine the organizational structure according to functional distribution, which is still difficult to achieve under the current situation. The shortage of management personnel is still a bottleneck that restricts the improvement of the organizational structure. The current problem of various departments is not that they are worried about a large number of redundant staff caused by the refinement of the organization, but that there are simply not enough staff to realize this kind of functional refinement. Relying on cultivating talents through the group's own education system cannot keep up with the needs of development, but this can only be done after the immigration work is gradually advanced and more available talents can be introduced from outside.
Compared with the increasingly large combat establishment of militia groups, the number of naturalized police officers under the Public Security Department is actually a bit shabby, with only more than 200 people. However, given that the proportion of armed personnel in the region's population has reached an insanely high level, there is not much chance that the Executive Committee will pass a resolution to expand the police force after Ren Liang takes office. Therefore, for Ren Liang, how to use the limited police force to control the public security situation in the jurisdiction will also be a difficult challenge.
The second major organizational adjustment is to the Military and Police Department. In addition to separating the police department from the military police department, the division of the army and navy is also a major move in this organizational adjustment.
After the police department was divested, it was somewhat unfair to call it the Military Police Department, so it was imperative to change the name. However, directly changing the name to the Ministry of National Defense seems too ostentatious, and does not fit with the theme of focusing on development and maintaining secrecy at this stage. Not to mention changing the name to "Ministry of War", the Executive Committee has no plans to break up with the Ming Dynasty and directly confront the Ming Dynasty. The military guys thought about it a lot, and finally decided to use the vague-sounding name "Military Commission". They called it "Haihan Military Commission" to the outside world, and it was not easy to violate Ming Dynasty's taboo.
The Army Department will basically retain the original personnel and establishment, with little change in the entire combat system. Yan Chujie will serve as the Commander of the Army Forces, Tao Donglai will serve as the Deputy Commander, and Harugong, who served as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Staff during the Vietnam Assistance Operation, will serve as the Chief of Staff. . It is worth mentioning that Qian Tiandun, who made great achievements in the previous battle, will also be promoted to the battalion commander of the "Annan Colonial Zone Independent Battalion" that is still on paper.
Compared with the already formed army, the newly established navy is relatively more troublesome. Warships and sailors are already partially in place. However, the biggest problem facing the navy is not these two aspects, but a serious lack of ship command personnel.
Although the military's human resources are relatively abundant, one of its biggest obvious flaws is the lack of personnel with former naval service experience. Among the members who had served in the military for dozens of years, none of them came from the navy. This can be regarded as a small miracle.
Of course, no matter how difficult it is, a navy will eventually be established. When there are no ships, warships can be built in the Victory Port, and they can naturally be cultivated slowly without a commander. Having said that, although there are no people with a naval background, the military does have professionals in navigation.
Under this circumstance, Wang Tom, who had always been treated as a half-foreigner because he was born overseas, was finally reused by the military. Tao Donglai announced in public at the meeting that Wang Tom would serve as the newly established supreme commander of the navy and the post of commander of the navy.
Wang Tom had never had any problems in the several missions he had carried out before, and he had made great contributions to the opening up of the Annan Colonial Zone by the Crossing Group. During the previous aid operation in Vietnam, Wang Tom, who served as chief of staff, also served as chief of staff. Time has participated in the battle on the front line, and his performance is obvious to all. Being reused this time can be said to be a well-deserved result. And even those who dislike the North American Gang have to admit that for the position of commander of the Navy, there is indeed no second candidate within the Crossing Group who is as proficient in navigation and possesses certain military qualities as Tom Wang.
Tom Wang's obsession with navigation is also well known to everyone. The main reason why this guy chose to participate in the time-travel operation in the first place was to become a famous navigator in the 17th century. As for the development strategy of the Crossing Group, serving in the Navy is probably the best channel to realize his dream. Therefore, regarding this personnel appointment, the military and Wang Tom hit it off immediately, and Wang Tom immediately agreed to the military appointment without even putting forward any additional conditions.
However, what makes Wang Tom a little regretful is that several of his other friends are unable to join him in the navy because of the heavy workload in the departments they are responsible for. In the end, the Executive Committee made certain concessions and compromises. The other five members of the North American Gang will serve as special military advisers in the Navy. If necessary, they can directly serve as naval officers and go on expeditions with the army. After all, this group of people all have strong navigation capabilities. Even if they cannot directly board the warship to serve as naval officers, they must at least be used as a reserve force.
Compared with the army, which 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 maritime 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 capability, in addition to a powerful maritime fleet, it must also 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. It will be difficult to meet the Executive Committee's requirements for the Navy to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible by relying solely on the existing combat personnel training system.
