Carving Dreams in Gresik Prefecture
The moon hangs high in the sky, illuminates the night with a gentle light, and the night air feels comfortable and clear. In the garden, a bonfire was burning brightly. Nineteen teenagers sat in a circle, enjoying drinks and chatting leisurely.
In high spirits, Wulan Guritno even decided to dance an ancient dance on the bonfire. Her dazzling dance moves attracted the attention of everyone, who could not help but praise her beauty and charm. The atmosphere became increasingly warm, and boisterous cheers were heard in the air.
"Sir Wulan, your appearance is stunning!"
"The dance is amazing, brother!"
"You're so pretty!" Genkpocker and Genkjoker, two people with a strange sense of humor, even started blowing wolf whistles and roaring loudly.
Thanks to Wulan Guritno's amazing performance, the bonfire party becomes even more lively. This moment was put to good use, and the only couple present became the center of attention. With everyone's support, Adam Ways finally invited Aril Tatum to dance with him, and without hesitation, Aril accepted his invitation.
This moment is the peak of everything. As a young group pursuing their dreams, they let go of all the tension and become like children again. They were surrounded by bonfires, singing, and dancing.
But the next day, the members of the alliance began to leave one by one, leaving Java Dwipa. Before the separation, Heru Cokro gave a small gift to each of them as a token of gratitude for their participation. Heru Cokro hopes this kind of meeting can be an annual event, and he also hopes next year's meeting will be held in other regions, not only in Java Dwipa. All members will share their responsibilities.
After the departure of most members, only Sri Wardani Samaratungga and Sri Isana Tunggawijaya remained. The Jawa Dwipa Alliance and the Army Group Pay Up The Irons still have important business deals to be finalized.
When the Dragon and Tiger Legion was formed, the military had eliminated all other large equipment, including the equipment they had taken from the battlefields of the Battle of Gresik. They have a very large amount of such equipment.
The Combat Logistics Department did the calculations and concluded that they had over a hundred thousand weapons and nearly ninety thousand sets of armor. If they were to sell all of this equipment at the price of one gold per item, it would yield two hundred thousand gold. Undoubtedly, among all those items, there were some that belonged to the elite category.
A rough estimate of the value of this entire collection of equipment was three hundred thousand gold. As a leader in trade in Java Dwipa, the Army Group Pay Up The Irons will definitely benefit greatly from this sale. However, since the numbers were so large, they would only take half of the profits.
By selling this equipment alone, Heru Cokro would be able to collect back three hundred thousand gold. This amount was comparable to the profits gained from the four pre-built military workshops. They needed to replace the equipment that had been eliminated with better equipment, and elite-grade equipment could not be obtained easily. To make it, it required four workshops.
The military industry has started to grow rapidly and become one of the most profitable industries in the region. This cash base was the main reason Heru Cokro had the confidence to acquire the Berdasi Rat Pay Army Group.
In terms of second-month earnings, Heru Cokro has instructed the Treasury Department not to keep a penny, and divert all the money to the region. At the same time, many large-scale projects began while Gresik Prefecture was under construction.
The Construction Division considers these four major projects as priorities, namely the construction of the outer settlement of Java Dwipa, the construction of Fort Le Moesiek Revole, road repair, and the construction of Banyuwangi District. All these projects cost no less than 230 thousand gold.
The construction of the outer district is considered to be the most challenging project. According to estimates, the formation of structures in this historic place will take a full year. Once completed, Jawa Dwipa will be able to accommodate more than five million people.
Yudishthira also attempted to raise funds by selling land.
Yudistira inspired the Prefect of Manor Banyuwangi Samudro to adopt a similar approach in raising funds as they planned the construction of Banyuwangi District. They decided to divide Banyuwangi District into two parts, namely the inner city and the outer part of the city.
The manor would be responsible for building the entire inner part of the city, whereas most of the outer parts of the city would be sold. The Ruler Manor will finance the construction of Fort Le Moesiek Revole and the necessary road network.
Of course, the road network would be a common asset for Gresik Prefecture, while Fort Le Moesiek Revole would serve as a military installation inaccessible to the general public.
According to estimates, the construction of the road network would take about half a year and would cost around a hundred thousand gold. Meanwhile, the construction of Fort Le Moesiek Revole will be completed three months later with a production cost of seventy thousand gold.
Essentially, more than half of Gresik Prefecture's financial income over the course of a year will be invested in these construction projects. This includes other medium-scale projects and large military expenditures.
Thus, Heru Cokro realized that it was difficult for him to set aside some money from the annual income of Gresik Prefecture in the second year of Vishnu. Maybe he should start thinking about creative ways to raise funds and cover any financial deficits that may arise.
The second year of Vishnu will be the most important year in the construction of Gresik Prefecture. Heru Cokro hopes that the economy of Gresik Prefecture will continue to develop, become a stable and strong foundation, as well as become the backbone of the reliable region.
That afternoon, Heru Cokro was in his private reading room. He had arranged meetings with Gajah Mada, the Copper Rat, and the Silver Rat, along with three heads of the Military Intelligence Division.
He announced his plan to them. Ghozi will be removed from his post as division head and will be appointed deputy secretary, while still leading the special operations team. The Copper Rat would leave his role in the special forces training camp and officially serve as secretary.
Heru Cokro devised this plan with the aim of controlling the Copper Rat and limiting it. The three team heads in the Military Intelligence Division were the ones he trusted so much, that it was almost impossible for the Copper Rat to do anything beyond bounds.
Even when the members of the Berdasi Rats then joined the division, their position would remain lower than the three heads of the team. Heru Cokro will personally oversee this organization, which currently consists of three teams, and there are no plans to change it any time soon.
Heru Cokro hopes that Ghozi, Latansa, and Latif can grow and develop under the leadership of the Copper Rat, so that the Military Intelligence Division will remain under his control.
In addition, all four divisions under the Military Department, except the Military Law Division, have also been completed. Currently, the only position of secretary that can be given is to Gajah Mada, who leads the War Division. Raden Said, who headed the Combat Logistics Department, as well as the Copper Rat, the leader of the Military Intelligence Division, had all gained the trust of Heru Cokro through their abilities.
Since the appointment of Gajah Mada, the scale of the Department of Military Affairs has quadrupled, making it one of the most important departments in the governance structure.
