As expected of him, Raden Said's words were exactly what Heru Cokro wanted to hear.
Heru Cokro nodded. “Your suggestions are good. This is a good time to grow. Hoodie!”
"I'm here!" The hood steps out.
“Use a village protection unit, two units of sword shield warriors, and one unit of archers as a base to build a sub-district protection regiment. You will become the deputy colonel, and after you officially raise your rank, you will be promoted.”
"Thank you, my lord!" The hood is very emotional and passionate.
“Because Camp Pamong Kulon and Camp Pamong Wetan have moved out, it will be difficult for them to protect the territory. Therefore, compared to the village protection unit, the sub-district protection regiment had a more important task. In addition to the territory wall and the district gate, you are responsible for the border defense near the District of Java Dwipa. The regiment will include 2 units of sword shield warriors, 2 archers, and one cavalry unit. The original crossbow archer company will be removed and returned under the command of the Pana Srikandi unit. The task change meant that it would change from the 2nd level in the army to the 1st level. That will be the most important thing.
"Your Majesty!" The hood suddenly felt the burden of responsibility on his shoulders.
"Andika, Humam!"
“Ready Paduka!” The two stepped out at the same time.
“Unit Pamong Kebonagung and Pamong Batih Ageng will both be regiments, with the two of you as his deputy colonel.” Heru Cokro reset the military system for good.
"Thank you!"
After dealing with the sub-district protection forces, Heru Cokro shouted, "Mahesa Boma!"
"Yes your Majesty!"
“Paspam Battalion is now a Paspam Regiment with you as lieutenant colonel. Remember, there is no need to rush into building a regiment. After all the regiments are finished and their combat strength is formed, take the test.” Mahesa Boma, who levelled up during the battle of Princess Cempo Hill, has solved a big problem for Heru Cokro.
"Your Majesty!"
Jawa Dwipa District now has a regiment of protection of the district and the Paspam Regiment. With the help of Pana Srikandi's unit, there was nothing to worry about.
Heru Cokro looked at Raden Syarifudin, who was sitting next to Raden Said. "Raden Syarifuddin!"
"Yes your Majesty!" Yesterday, Raden Syarifudin got to know the structure of Dwipa Javanese District, and therefore he was very confident.
“You are in charge of the fourth regiment, which will be a light armored regiment. You will be given a barong and placed in Camp Pamong Kulon. You will be the deputy head of the camp and lieutenant colonel of the 4th regiment.”
"Thank you!"
"General Giri!"
"Yes your Majesty!" General Giri stands out.
"Your Majesty!" Hearing that there would be more action, General Giri was very excited.
Since he had decided to end the peace and start showing his strength, Heru Cokro would naturally take the initiative to attack.
Under his plan, the first step was to clear the western region of Gresik to create a peaceful and safe environment for the development of the region.
Heru Cokro had added five regiments, for a total of 18 units, and nine thousand soldiers who basically depleted all the reserve force members they had gained from the robber invasion.
Heru Cokro did a rough estimation, that the class change for this expansion would cost 10 thousand gold coins. He had earned money at a faster rate than any other ruler. Now, he also spent money at a much faster pace.
When he had just entered the game, 100 gold was considered a huge sum. In just a year, he was currently dealing with thousands of gold.
As the military expanded rapidly, the strength of the average soldier would also decrease. Moreover, the supply of weapons would definitely not be able to keep up with the pace of expansion.
Based on the standards of the Javanese army of Dwipa, it is impossible to reach 100% of the provision of bows. Moreover, the weapon workshop was unable to keep up with the speed with the main weapon of the sword and cavalry shield warrior, the Luwuk Majapahit Sword.
The three thousand barongs stored in the western horse stables of the subdistrict were all depleted. However, it was still not enough for all the Paspam Regiments and the 4th regiment. They ended up with a shortage of 1,500 barongs. As for the three subdistrict protection regiments, giving them all a barong seemed like a distant fantasy.
Such a large force was also a huge burden to the region's finances.
Based on military pay standards, a unit based on an average soldier would cost 275 gold. A regiment used 1375 gold and a division used 8250 gold. This does not include the salaries of major generals and lieutenant colonels. From that amount, the general's salary rose 35%.
With such huge military expenditures, Heru Cokro did not touch on the profits of the White Wolf Mine or Gudang Garam and TPI. Instead of directly handing it over to the Financial Bureau. Therefore, this was the strongest condition but also the weakest of the Dwipa Javanese forces that ever existed.
Military affairs are only the first thing on the agenda of this military governance meeting.
Heru Cokro looked around, “We last organized the ruling residence in the hamlet and 4 months have passed since then. As the number of government officials increases, the house of officials becomes a little tight.”
“Therefore, I have decided, based on the organization of the district to activate the plan to the west of the ruling residence to become a district for officials. The standard is that each division has its own home and each bureau will form a cluster. This includes the Military Affairs Bureau, everyone will move to this district.”
“As for the residence of the ruler, the front page will be a pure meeting area. In addition to the meeting hall, both sides would also have a hall. The main hall will be used for monthly military and government meetings, while the small hall will be used for daily meetings. Offices on the front page will all be moved to the office district.”
The change in the organization of the ruler's residence was actually a change in its meaning and stature. After establishing the district for the officials, the residence of the ruler would turn into a core area of power. This meant that Heru Cokro would officially only control the boss and the overall situation.
Heru Cokro had already thought of many things about outside affairs. He does not have the energy to follow specific things and micro-regulate the region. Therefore, he used the argument of the office house too small to change the structure and organization of the region.
These changes were not as obvious as establishing a division or bureau, but their influence was much greater than both.
This type of internal revolution is something that many of them cannot understand. For them, having a private home and not having to work under the supervision of a master was something to be happy about. To see the deep meaning, perhaps only Bahaudin Nur Salam and Aria Dikara could do it.
Kawis Guwa and Witana Sideng Rana looked at each other, their eyes showing a sense of uncertainty.
