Another Void Meeting!
In the stillness of the night, the Mingyue shines high, and the stars fill the sky.
The city Holy Land Mary Geoise, perched atop the Red Line, remains as brightly lit and radiant as ever, a testament to the prestige of supreme power.
Inside Pangaea Castle, Imu once again sat on the Empty Throne, looking down at the five figures kneeling on the red carpet below.
To be honest, it had been quite a while since they had been here.
After all, everyone is busy.
Some matters that are not particularly important would not require a meeting here, but today is different. The Five Elders are here to consult on matters concerning the Navy!
"Lord Imu, Dr. Fritz, the director of the Biochemical Research Institute, is requesting technical support to address the negative emotions such as fear, bloodlust, and brutality inherent in the Kabane Virus."
"After discussion, we believe that Chief of Staff of the Marine Headquarters, Tsuru, can provide assistance by using the ability of the Paramecia Wash-Wash Fruit to wash away the extreme negative emotions of the infected who have lost their autonomy."
"But if we do that, we will inevitably Sweet Commander incident to the Marine Headquarters. This is a matter of great importance, so we have no choice but to ask you, sir, to come and give your instructions in person!"
Kneeling in the very center, Topman Saint Topman Warcury spoke respectfully in a deep voice, his powerful voice echoing throughout the dark and cold hall.
Imu pondered after listening.
He understood what these people meant. The Navy definitely knew about the Star Gate; many high-ranking officials within the World Government already knew.
It's just that the Five Elders haven't yet issued an internal order to the Grand Committee to make this public, so the senior officials are tacitly maintaining an attitude of knowing it from each other but not saying it.
In matters like this, no one dares to speak out, otherwise, if a problem arises, their tongue will certainly be fine, but their life will likely be in danger.
The key question, however, is: when is it appropriate to inform the Marine Headquarters, and from there extend the information further? When should it be made public internally? When should it be made completely public to the outside world?
These are all things that need to be considered.
The reason they hadn't informed the Marine Headquarters was primarily because the Small Star Gate was simply too small; not even vehicles could pass through, let alone warships. What use would informing the Navy then be?
Secondly, the Navy has been very busy lately, so there was no need to tell them, but now the Biochemical Research Institute needs their help.
Finally, Imu issued the supreme order.
"Tomorrow, the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces will convene high-ranking officers from Three Armies to convey the matter of the Sweet Commander Gate, and at the same time, proceed with the restructuring according to the original plan!"
Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro immediately replied respectfully, "As you command!"
The Five Elders and the others understood Imu's meaning; it seemed they had agreed to Crane's journey to the Star Gate World. By the way, for convenience, it now had a code name.
That is, Kabane World No. 0001!
"Imu, your idea of releasing the citizens of the Land of Disobedience 'Tequila Wolf' and having prisoners from the first four underground levels of 'Impel Down' and other prisons do the work of building the bridge is truly ingenious."
"However, this plan requires an enormous amount of manpower, military force, and ships, making it difficult to complete in a short period of time. Preliminary estimates suggest it will take at least one to two years to minimize the negative impact on the bridge construction project."
Imu, seated on the Empty Throne, nodded secretly after hearing this.
Really.
Sending nearly a million people from the Land of Disobedience back to their homeland, and then sending hundreds of thousands of prisoners to the "Tequila Wolf" to take over the bridge-building work, would undoubtedly be a very long and complicated process.
Putting aside everything else, the navy will definitely be busy again, since they need their warships to escort them in various situations!
That's fine too.
The current Star Gate is too small to be of any use to their navy; let them contribute to the development of the home world.
But could we build a basic shipyard in the Kabane World and then use local materials to construct a warship?
He then immediately issued an order to implement this idea.
"My lord, should we summon shipwrights from the Water Seven?"
Topman Saint Topman Warcury's inquiry was coldly rejected by Imu, who did not want anyone outside the World Government to know about the Star Gate World at this time.
Water Seven has contracted a number of Marine warship, and even completely monopolized the 'War Beast' class warships used for the Buster Call.
However, this does not mean that all warships are built by them. There are actually quite a few islands that can build warships, but Water Seven the most famous. In addition, the World Government itself also has some of its own shipyards.
Shipwrights and the like are certainly not lacking.
At most, their skills were not as good as those of the masters in Water Seven, so their shipbuilding efficiency was not as high.
This is perfectly acceptable.
"Accelerate the establishment of the Ministry of Police of the Judiciary, Bounty Research Bureau of the Marine Headquarters should also be relocated as soon as possible!"
Imu's curt instruction carried a clear hint of displeasure; he was very dissatisfied with the Judiciary's progress.
This terrified Jaygarcia Saint Saturn, and beads of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
"Lord Imu, our Judiciary has initiated the Ministry of Police's plan, and the one hundred naval branches selected by the Four Seas are being converted into Police Station. However, the Construction Division has postponed the project due to a lack of manpower."
"The selection of naval soldiers to transfer to the police force was also temporarily rejected by the Navy, citing the need for a large number of personnel to fully implement this year's agenda."
Upon hearing this, Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, representing the military, and Topman Saint Topman Warcury, representing the State Council, twitched at the corners of their mouths, and their lowered expressions became displeased.
This is him complaining about himself in front of Lord Imu!
But the reasons given by the Construction Division and the Navy are also valid. These two departments have been the busiest these days, and judging from the current situation, they will be even busier in the future.
So what can be done about this staff shortage?
Are we really expected to abandon our major projects and operations to cooperate with your Judiciary in establishing its own police force?
Dream on!
Meanwhile, Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint, who was standing to the side, although it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him on the surface, actually did not want the Ministry of Police to get things started too quickly.
The reason is simple.
According to the division of responsibilities outlined in the plan, all criminal and civil cases occurring on land will henceforth fall under the jurisdiction of the police departments of the Ministry of Police.
Even CIPHER POL, except for top-secret missions, requires permission from the Ministry of Police for most of its operations.
In other words, even if CP9 wants to carry out an assassination in the future, they will have to give them a heads-up before they can kill anyone!
What exactly constitutes a top-secret mission?
Simply put, CP0 can carry out missions without prior notification, but afterwards, they must explain the general situation to the Ministry of Police in the name of CIPHER POL headquarters to avoid the police investigating for a long time only to find out that it was one of their own.
This is a bit uncomfortable!
They've been operating as CIPHER POL for centuries; when have they ever suffered such humiliation and constraint?
