The 9th of December.
Heru Cokro called Raden Partajumena and Dudung for a meeting.
The Jawa Dwipa sub-district protection regiment has been reorganized into one of three divisions leaving Dudung without work. These few days, he had only coordinated with the Military Affairs Bureau about conscription, and after hearing that Heru Cokro wanted to meet him, he rushed over.
During the battle of Bukit Putri Cempo, Dudung's appearance was extraordinary, making a deep impression on Heru Cokro, and he even specifically rewarded him with the Sunan Prapen Sword Manuscript.
Two months had passed, and Dudung had gained a basic understanding, so his body was emitting a ferocious tiger aura.
"How, is conscription running smoothly?” Heru Cokro asked.
“It's okay, there are more people who want to join the army. The teenagers in our region also have a very nice body and most people who come can meet the standard.” Dudung is very excited.
Heru Cokro nodded. Various privileges of Dwipa Javanese District have begun to be seen.
After the greeting, Heru Cokro started to get into the main topic. “I have two reasons to call all of you here.”
"Please talk!"
To be honest, about the position of the sub-district protection regiment, Dudung was not sure about that and did not know what Heru Cokro thought about it. To be of use to the Regent, he was already quite happy.
“First is the protection force of the sub-district of Java Dwipa. My idea was to create a County Protection Division within half a year. What do you two think?”
Dudung was not involved, so it was not right for him to voice his opinion, but deep down he was secretly pleased. He had not expected that even after disbanding the 3 subdistrict protection regiments, his master would take such an action.
Raden Partajumena nodded. “With the scale of Java Dwipa in the future, the District Protection Division is required.”
As Raden Partajumena said, Java Dwipa is the heart of the region, and must be defended. Although Heru Cokro did not think anyone could attack Java Dwipa, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Otherwise, how could one allow its inhabitants to live peacefully?
Heru Cokro was not a person who pursued short-term goals, and he would not expand the army without thinking about the consequences. He set a half-year deadline so it could be done slowly and not cause tension in the region.
Once the region joins, every day there will be 1310 migrants coming. In a month he can get 40 thousand people. Since this merger was Heru Cokro's wish, he did not get any recognition from the system. Hence, when calculating the number of inhabitants of the region, the three were still counted separately.
“Although the County Protection Division started from the beginning, I do not expect its fighting capabilities and its culture and military standards to be weaker than the other three divisions. As for their training, I will hand it over to the two of you.”
Even with Dudung's courage, upon hearing the Regent's request, he faced a slight hardship.
Everyone knew that for a new army to form a fighting force, other than training hard, practical battles and battles were important. The territory had three divisions in three dangerous directions, so no matter what happened, the County Protection Division would not be able to join the fight.
“Why, are you having trouble?”
The hood grits its teeth. “I'm a frontal person, so I'll tell you the truth. If we talk about training, I'm not afraid! But in terms of practical battles, I'm afraid we can influence your plans.”
Heru Cokro nodded and turned to Raden Partajumena, "General, do you have a solution?"
“The only way is for the County Protection Division to split up into regiments and take turns going to various camps to fight.”
“Great, that's enough. As for the construction of the division, the general will order it, while Dudung will execute.”
Raden Partajumena had been the right-hand man of Heru Cokro, so most of the military affairs were left to him. Therefore, the Bureau of Military Affairs under its bright light seemed to lose its luster and become an auxiliary unit.
A general like Raden Partajumena was not suited to handle the Bureau of Military Affairs, because the battlefield was his home. The reason for establishing the bureau was because Heru Cokro wanted it to control the generals and establish a balance. Otherwise, the military generals could become wild horses that spiral out of control.
As the region continued to expand, Heru Cokro did not have the energy to personally participate in the construction of the troops and could only hand over the responsibility to the generals.
The contrast is that his control over the military has been reduced. It was fortunate that the major general of the 3 divisions was picked up and trained by him, so there would not be much trouble in the short term.
Heru Cokro put his thoughts aside and said, “Barak County Protection Division will be moved outside the region. Barracks in the core region will be abandoned for the Regiment of Paspam.”
Dudung nodded, as he expected this to happen. The County Protection Division and the Paspam Regiment had different jobs, one internal and one external, so handing over the core area to the Paspam Regiment would happen sooner or later.
The residence of the Regent of Gresik and the Javanese Manor Dwipa divided the duties for law and order that had been planned.
The Paspam Regiment was another trump card that Heru Cokro had for military control. As long as this elite unit was in his hands, he had the power to challenge anyone.
After the various divisions were completed, it was time to expand the Paspam Regiment.
****
The next day, a new army camp on the western outskirts.
In addition to those killed in the Battle of Gojalisuta, 2,470 elites remained. They will face a first round test that includes a 5 kg run, a 400 meter hurdle run, and 40 push-ups.
During the training period, the soldiers had practiced this many times and got used to it. The key to the test was whether the soldiers could meet the standards.
Based on the information, the soldiers who joined were all poldas to the top. The war elite warrior took 10% and could be said to be the strongest elite.
Heru Cokro watched the entire process with Raden Partajumena beside him.
Based on the teaching of the Silver Rat company commander, Raden Partajumena entered the camp giving them motivation and many new ideas. The standards of the exam were changed after his suggestion.
After a day of tests, only 1845 soldiers passed with a total failure rate of 25%.
Those who fail return to their original units.
After entering, the task of the new soldier unit was completed and disbanded. The soldiers who graduated would be sent to a new camp where they would undergo the next stage of their hellish training.
Submitted by the modern learning style of the new warrior camp, Raden Partajumena has personally set up a new training schedule and plan, as well as a training regime to be ready to be pushed throughout the army.

To the east of Gresik, there is an island known as Madura Island which has a cow body shape, consisting of four districts, namely: Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan and Sumenep.
Half a year ago, Sampang was empty, and suddenly a mysterious tribe appeared. Under the leadership of the tribe, they eradicated robbers, built forts, began farming and planted mulberry trees.
The leader was an extraordinary person, and had high prestige among the mountain barbarians. When the fort was built, the mountain barbarians around them all heard about the news and came to visit to see this mysterious leader.
The hundreds of mountain barbarian tribes living on the salt island felt they had a new home, and they all moved to Sampang Fort without hesitation.
As time went on, the 55 mountain barbarian tribes completely moved, and even the largest tribe with over 10 thousand people moved.
Last month, this migration began to spread to the west.
When a large number of mountain barbarians moved, it became a big city. On the territory wall many black bull flags opened, fluttering in the wind.
Gresik looked calm, but big things were happening.
