The Metaverse World
Arrival of Raden Said with the Company
In front of the door, there was a large wooden suspension bridge that stretched all the way across the river 8 meters wide. Because the Bengawan Solo River is only one meter from the wall, so the suspension bridge with a width of 6 meters and a length of 9 meters is working through a pulley tool mounted on the wall and can be pulled at will. In addition to the time of war, under normal circumstances it would be lowered. To ensure that in the event of war and the suspension bridge can be raised, every week will be tested.
When the group of refugees who came saw such a magnificent wall, their faces were filled with admiration. Compared to this wall, the camp where they lived was a backward tribe. With such a strong wall protecting them, they immediately felt calmer and safer. Their displeasure at having to migrate has subsided. Leaders look at each other. Their difficult days are finally over.
Raden Said was shocked. Not because he had never seen such a high wall before, but if amazed at the achievements of Java Dwipa who was only on the village stage, had the ability to build such a strong and stable structure. So that outsiders who saw it could deduce how far the ruler's vision was.
After finally seeing Raden Said and his entourage arrive, Heru Cokro led the officials to greet them, saying, “Welcome Raden Said. From now on, we are family.”
Raden Said did not dare to ignore him and bowed, saying respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" This Rukuk promises someone loyalty. From then on, they would be treated differently as leaders, servants and they would not be able to speak as if they were on the same level. Everyone who followed behind bowed down, the normal residents even kneeled down and said loudly, "We greet Your Majesty!"
Heru Cokro naturally understood the deep meaning behind it and received their greetings. He came forward and helped Raden Said, smiling. "Let's go, I've asked my men to prepare some wine to welcome you all." After saying that, he personally led Raden Said towards His Majesty's Residence.
Java Dwipa is undergoing redevelopment, and everywhere there are construction sites. Raden Said watched along the way, seeing that the layout of the city was logical and the position of the building was aligned. On the way, he saw the citizens in clean clothes who looked very fresh and excited. This can only be seen from people who live well.
Raden Said could only nod. It seems like yesterday's promise was not too far-fetched and Java Dwipa prospered as he mentioned.
In the banquet hall of the noble house, Heru Cokro organized a party to welcome Raden Said, Aria Dikara, and Eyang Cakrajaya.3 the director and military representative of General Giri were also there. As for the other refugees, Heru Cokro placed them under the supervision of the Bureau of Material Reserves.
Before starting the banquet, Heru Cokro introduced everyone to each other. From today onwards they will work together, and this is a good time to get to know each other. Other than Fatimah, they were famous people in history, hence they would naturally take care of the newcomers.
The three of them were different, getting surprises and surprises one after the other. They could not imagine that a basic village could gather so many talents. The little pride they had before they came here had been erased.
When Eyang Cakrajaya saw General Giri, he could not exert any fighting spirit. When he saw Wirama and others around Heru Cokro, he thought that they were the strongest generals in Java Dwipa. Little did he know that they were hiding special-ranking generals.
After the party, Heru Cokro did not rush to give them the task and let them rest.
At 2 pm, the meeting room of the ruler's residence.
Heru Cokro said, “This time I called all of you here to adjust the organizational structure. As our military increases, more and more things need to be taken care of. Starting from logistical support, weapons and equipment design, soldier management and posts, tactical design, etc. Therefore, I felt the need to form a bureau that focused on military affairs.”
Since military affairs were against government affairs, Heru Cokro always tried to find suitable managers to take control of the organization. Now with Raden Said, this is the perfect opportunity.
“I have decided to establish a Military Affairs Bureau, and its director is Raden Said. Thus, the Military Intelligence Division and the Armament Division would be under his jurisdiction. In addition, the Material Reserve Bureau and the War Preparation Division were also under their responsibility.”
The establishment of the Bureau of Military Affairs resulted in major changes in the Administration Bureau and Material Reserve Bureau. That's why he invited everyone from the 3 bureaus into this meeting. From today onwards, the 3 bureau of Java Dwipa will be 4, and Raden Said has become one of the four dragons of Java Dwipa.
Raden Said rose up excitedly, saying out loud, "Thank you for your Majesty's trust, I won't let him down!" Giving such an opportunity to a new person showed absolute confidence in him, making him feel touched.
Aria Dikara and Eyang Cakrajaya, seeing that their leader was placed in such an important position, their last worries disappeared. So they started to really assimilate and think that they are part of Java Dwipa.
Heru Cokro holds the principle of trusting people and not doubting them. He believed that with his abilities, Raden Said would be able to manage the Bureau of Military Affairs and divide part of his concerns. The division under the Bureau of Military Affairs was not finished yet, and Heru Cokro did not want to rush over and directly build it. Therefore, he decided to let it grow and waited for a while before making such a change.
Establishing the Bureau of Military Affairs solves the chaos in the Military Intelligence Division. The old division could be said to be working independently, but also being under the leadership of General Giri, as a sort of reserve unit, did not have an appropriate allocation. The Armament Division took on the responsibility of making weapons and equipment. Thus, this problem has been solved.
Joyonegoro of the War Preparation Division was demoted to deputy director due to his poor performance at the end of the year assessment. He had already been reappointed as director and now his division had been moved under the Bureau of Military Affairs, as an early marker of military independence had begun.
As the War Preparation Division left, the position of the Material Resources Bureau dropped once again. However this was something inevitable, as the bureau was set up to resolve the problems that came with privatization. Now that privatization is going well, most of the functions of the bureau cannot keep up with the pace of progress and need to be let go.
The Office of the Bureau of Military Affairs is already regulated by Heru Cokro. "The building of the Military Affairs Bureau's office is in the northeast Military District, so that the four divisions that are under the Bureau of military affairs can be well managed."
"No problem!" Buminegoro nodded and said.
This arrangement was first because the residence of the ruler did not have any more workspaces and secondly, be it for the Armament Division or the barracks, all were in the military district so accommodating the bureau there would be more convenient.
