Hesty Purwadinata and the others were fascinated with their own thoughts.
“Jendra really put a lot of energy and money into this.”
"That's fine. I actually envy her a little. He became a ruler and did not need to care about administrative affairs. He enjoyed a status similar to a ruler, and could enjoy life like a god!”
“….”
“If the other little masters knew of this relationship, they would be so envious as to vomit blood. The difference is like day and night!”
“How can it be the same? Maya is a member of the Jawa Dwipa Alliance!”
"Fuckin' thick! It can't be compared!”
“I think that's enough. Even if you all like Maya, you don't have to overestimate her, right?”
“…”
It was not just Hesty Purwadinata and the others. Even Gayatri Rajapatni and longtime members of Le Moesiek Revole District relaxed after seeing their daughter treated so well. Their fear of being excommunicated disappears.
After the ceremony ended, the other members of the Java Dwipa Alliance all left.
Heru Cokro asked Gayatri Rajapatni to stay behind to discuss the issue of military organization. Maya Estianti leaves the meeting room. He was now only a prefect, so he was not involved in military affairs.
Le Moesiek Revole District, has a military organization similar to the District of Java Dwipa. The three affiliate areas all had village protection units, so it did not need reorganization.
The main camp had four regiments, with a total of 10 thousand people. They had one cavalry regiment, one sword shield warrior regiment, and two archer regiments.
Heru Cokro wanted to recruit a protection regiment of Le Moesiek Revole District from the existing reserve force. With these four regiments as the base, they will form the 4th division of the Dwipa Javanese Subdistrict.
Gayatri Rajapatni will take on the role of major general of the fourth division.
With that, the fourth division was separated from the Maya Manor Estianti, which would be led by Raden Partajumena and the Bureau of Military Affairs. Similarly, the Regent of Gresik will pay their salaries.
The salary paid by Maya Estianti previously really cannot be compared with the salary of Dwipa Javanese District. In hindsight, the soldiers will increasingly feel they have a Javanese District Dwipa.
This would also greatly benefit the reorganization of the Bureau of Military Affairs.
After they form the fourth division, the District of Java Dwipa will have four divisions that can take part in the battle, which amounts to a total of 54 thousand people. Coincidentally, they could only form legions.
Heru Cokro temporarily had no plans to form a legion.
Be it in terms of military or administration, one needs to consider the balance.
If they form a legion, Raden Partajumena is the only choice of the General. Now, Raden Partajumena has no real promise. He especially only needed to take over wartime command.
When he becomes a general, the situation will change. Raden Partajumena will control all the forces that will pose a great challenge to Gajah Mada who has just been appointed by Heru Cokro.
Naturally, Heru Cokro was not afraid Raden Partajumena would betray him or anything like that. However, he only needed to make a good environment for Gajah Mada.
Of course, be it Raden Partajumena or Gajah Mada, they had to answer Heru Cokro. He held the highest positions in the military and government. Everyone has to answer it.
Back to topic.
The fourth division was a mixture of infantry and cavalry. It was similar to the first division. As for the fourth division base, it would be located on the limestone mountain.
When thinking about that road, Heru Cokro felt dizzy, because he had to make a crossing. It was not suitable to investigate the enemy situation.
"Do any of you have any advice about that?" Heru Cokro asked.
Participants of this meeting, in addition to Gayatri Rajapatni, there were Raden Partajumena and Gajah Mada.
Gajah Mada had just entered, so he was not familiar with the region, especially with regard to limestone mountains. So, he remained silent and did not voice his opinion.
Raden Partajumena came a little earlier than Gajah Mada, but the limestone mountain was under the jurisdiction of Le Moesiek Revole District at the time. Therefore, even though he had heard of it, he had not seen it personally. Therefore, he would not voice his opinion.
Only Gayatri Rajapatni can answer that.
He was very serious, and had the right to talk about limestone mountains. This was also the Regent's first test, so he had to show his skills.
He bowed towards Heru Cokro and cupped his fists towards Raden Partajumena and Gajah Mada. Then, he said, “East of limestone mountain is Bangkalan, the starting place of the Kalalodra Sesaji. As expected, they will become our strongest enemy in the near future. Therefore, before they have a solid footing, we must find a suitable place in Bangkalan to establish a headquarters. Only then can we go forward and backward as we want.”
“If we put a large number of troops there, we cannot fend off the attack and defend Dwipa Java Prefecture. To the east there is a 100-meter long canyon. From there it will be the Bangkalan area. I investigated earlier and found that the further east we went, the wider the canyon. The exit is 100 meters wide. If the enemy makes a gap in the exit, they can block our route.”
Heru Cokro nodded, all of them had their pros and cons. Gresik only needs to defend the limestone mountains from outside threats. Instead, they could only use the gap to reach the outside world.
Gayatri Rajapatni continued, “Saranku is setting up a large-scale fortress north of the canyon. Then, we can put an army in large numbers. Outside the fortress is a lowland, so we can attack Bangkalan at any time.”
Military fortifications and fissures were two different concepts.
A permit has a function to collect taxes and act as a way in.
The military fortress was a small town. It has all the necessary facilities and has permanent defense for long-term defense.
Bait is easily attacked. On the other hand, attacking a military fortress was more difficult than climbing the sky.
His suggestion was similar to what Heru Cokro had in mind. He laughed, “Good, let's do it like that. The name of the fort is Maya Fort Estianti. Manor Maya Estianti will be in charge of the design. Fourth division will be stationed there.”
"Your Majesty!"
Once they establish a direction, the Bureau of Military Affairs handles certain military organizations. Various bureaus and divisions will work together in design and construction. Heru Cokro doesn't have to worry about that.
With the speed of development of Sesaji Kalalodra, there must be enough time to build the fort.
Heru Cokro wanted to know what the strength of the Kalalodra Sesaji would feel when they breezed forward and saw such a huge fortress.
Regarding the topic of the Kalalodra Sesaji, they should have made a move. The only thing is, which unlucky territory was first targeted by Prabu Jarasanda.
