The Metaverse World
Secret Mission of the Rat
"The latter has something to do with you," Heru Cokro glanced at the Golden Rat and smiled.
"This has something to do with me?" The Golden Rat instantly became curious.
The reason for the Golden Rat's uncertainty, other than because its members were scattered, was because he also felt reluctant towards the idea. Most of the reason was because it would hurt his position. As the leader, he did not want to suddenly lose all of his strength.
Heru Cokro nodded, "That's fine. You should know that Jawa Dwipa has established offices in six imperial cities. On the outside, it might just appear to be a point of contact, but it's actually an intelligence station."
The Golden Rat understood; this kind of arrangement was quite common. In the real world, embassies often act in a similar way, gathering information and relaying it to the center.
"Establishing intelligence stations is a good idea, but they don't seem to produce satisfactory results yet. The information they provide is not very useful to us."
As the Golden Rat said this, Heru Cokro could only raise an eyebrow and sigh. If the intelligence station had already worked harder on investigating some particular matter, perhaps he would not have had to ask the Mated Rat Paying Army.
"I mean, you want me to lead this intel station?" The Golden Rat felt a little offended. Being a manager of a small intel reporting station is certainly not equivalent to being a military intelligence secretary.
He couldn't possibly be worse than the Copper Rat, right?
Heru Cokro laughed, "Of course, I don't underestimate you. I want to establish an organization that I will call Pamomong Rat Berdasi. It will have nine intel stations as the core, and their task will be to cross Indonesian territory to collect and analyze intel. Are you interested in building and leading them?"
When the Golden Rat heard these words, its eyes shone. Based on his explanation, Pamomong Berdasi Rat has enormous power. They are equivalent to the American CIA and are responsible for foreign intelligence.
According to the plan of Heru Cokro, Military Intelligence Division, Pamomong Berdasi Rat, and Security Division that does not exist will be three important intelligence organizations in the future. The intelligence division will take over military intel, while the Security Division will operate within the region. It is a very core organization.
With the Security Division's monitoring work, Heru Cokro was able to feel calmer and allow the Golden Rat to build the Boiling Rat.
The reason he had yet to build the Security Division was because he had yet to find someone suitable to lead it. It should be someone he fully trusts.
At the same time, since they would be monitoring the Military Intelligence Division and the Pamomong Berdasi Rats, their abilities should be far superior. They already face difficulties in detaining the Military Intelligence Division. How can they handle such a task? Therefore, Heru Cokro could only delay his plan.
The promise of Heru Cokro is a promise filled with honesty. After considering all the pros and cons, the Golden Rat accepted it.
Following his decision, he got up and bowed towards Heru Cokro, "The Golden Mouse is ready to serve Master!"
Heru Cokro received that honor with respect.
The Golden Rat officially became an alias of the Golden Rat in the Golden Rat Guardian. After fulfilling their promise, the two began to discuss further details.
Secondly, each member would receive a payment of two hundred gold in return for this dissolution. The five core members would receive a thousand gold as a one-time compensation. Related to the Golden Rat, he would be given five thousand gold as a special award.
The family members will also move to Jawa Dwipa. Each family will get free land along with a set of living necessities. All of this would cost around 120 thousand gold.
Although the Golden Rat did not make a sound regarding this huge expenditure, Heru Cokro was well aware that this cost was worth the benefits to be gained. Their arrival to Java Dwipa will bring an overall improvement, especially in intelligence gathering which will grow rapidly.
As a precaution, Heru Cokro stressed the need to sign the contract. Each member involved will sign an employee contract and confidentiality agreement, which will have a major impact if violated. This is a necessary step to prevent betrayal later in life.
Third, they discussed monthly expenses for the Batik Rat. Heru Cokro promised to give three thousand gold each month during this year. The next year's earnings will depend on their performance this year. The main principle is that next year's expenses should not be less than this year's. In addition, Heru Cokro also provided ten thousand gold as funds for Pamomong Rat Berdasi.
Heru Cokro admitted that his expenditure was considerable and, limited in resources, he could only use the two hundred thousand gold coupons he had obtained from Rama. Fortunately, the cooperation with the other guild members planned by Heru Cokro and the profit he obtained the second month provided him with enough funds in a short period of time.
After they felt confident with all these details, the Golden Rat left the room and returned to Jakarta to arrange the dissolution of the mercenary group and move its members to Java Dwipa.
After the Golden Rat left, Heru Cokro sought out Abraham Moses.
Abraham Moses' office is located in the Pindad Region, which is one of the strategic locations in the game. Heru Cokro wants to get a better understanding of Roberto's latest move through Abraham Moses.
According to Abraham Moses, after the Battle of Gresik, Roberto suddenly began a series of aggressive actions against neighboring areas. In less than two months, all the nobles in the basin where the Hartono Brothers were located either surrendered or were destroyed. Although the Hartono Brothers have not been upgraded to a prefecture, they have achieved the same strategic goals as Java Dwipa.
Hearing this, Heru Cokro frowned. This shows that great abilities and power bases should not be ignored. Most likely, Roberto's family had planned it in the first place. The actions they take today are only an earlier realization of their long-term plans.
Roberto may have realized that if he was unable to raise the status to the prefecture, the only way to prevent Java Dwipa from surpassing them was with this kind of aggressive action. Of course, this is also risky, for example, to be able to reduce their population numbers, but for Roberto, this is an acceptable sacrifice to solidify his position.
Furthermore, Roberto had stronger control over the player population compared to Heru Cokro. Large families like Roberto have sophisticated management systems that are used to control their players. They have the ability to transfer these management skills into the game without any significant difficulties.
Therefore, Roberto doesn't have to always be very wary of players, and he can give them more freedom. Heru Cokro understands that Roberto's moves will affect many groups of players, such as Lotu Wong and others, who may seek to recover the IKN Alliance after various failures during the Battle of Gresik.
The IKN Alliance, previously mysterious and unknown to Heru Cokro, is now beginning to unfold. This made Heru Cokro wary, especially since he did not have enough knowledge about the number and types of trump cards the IKN Alliance currently had.
To gather this necessary information, Heru Cokro relied on the Pamomong Berdasi Rat to investigate and provide reports. As his position increased, his view of the world in the game also changed. Despite remaining wary of Gresik Prefecture as his main territory, he felt more confident when facing another group of players.
Of course, Heru Cokro does not rule out the potential of Kalimantan Island as a future development area. He had led three large guilds to settle there, and his plan was to bring in more players to Kalimantan. He realized that to develop Kalimantan quickly, he could not rely only on migrants from Java Dwipa. Al Shin District had limited growth, and the number of refugees they had was also limited, depending on Rama's rank.
