Integrated Services Division
The Finance Division, now the Financial Bureau, has completed its report.
Kawis Guwa, speak up: “The Administration Bureau currently holds jurisdiction over the Agriculture Division, Construction Division, Salt and Fish Farms Warehouse, as well as the Civil Registry Office. To clarify the authority of the Administration Bureau, there is a proposal for adjustment regarding the institution, please Your Majesty allow me to report.”
"Please!"
“Garam and fish are strategic resources, and must be subject to the jurisdiction of the Material Reserve Bureau. It is an honor for me, His Majesty has given his trust to handle the Salt Warehouse and fish farm. However, now is a good time to return the Salt Gudang and fish roasting to its original place. Please Your Majesty can agree to my proposal!” Kawis Guwa calmly said, as if he was throwing away a trivial thing.
As one of the most important heavyweight divisions in the Java region of Dwipa, which is responsible for the economic lifeline of the region, the importance of Gudang Garam and Fish Farm is unquestionable. Kawis Guwa had now offered it, to be handed over to the Bureau of Material Reserves, essentially giving them the biggest task of the Administrative Bureau.
The day before the Agriculture Division was taken from the Bureau of Material Reserves, taking jurisdiction of agriculture, plantations, fisheries, and animal husbandry. Are these concessions reciprocal? When did Kawis Guwa and Witana Sideng Rana form such a tacit understanding?
This is the question of most of the people who are here. Heru Cokro did not believe that the truth would be that simple.
As the number one core Javanese officer of Dwipa, Kawis Guwa showed his political ambitions by sorting out the relations between the bureaus. This is his first step. Because the arrival of Witana Sideng Rana made him feel desperate. Therefore, he took the initiative to accelerate the pace of institutional adjustment.
For such a friendly competition, Heru Cokro certainly gave a positive response, so she agreed to the proposal: "I agree to it!"
Kawis Guwa seems confident that his proposal will be approved by Heru Cokro, and continues. “In addition, with the rapid increase in the number of citizens in Java Dwipa, Civil Registration work becomes increasingly heavy. Therefore, I recommend that the Office of Civil Registry be elevated to the status of Civil Registry Division.”
Heru Cokro replied expressionlessly, “I agree! In addition, the Administrative Bureau will also be recommending officers of the new Civil Registry Division. Report qualified candidates to me. As for the previous Director of Civil Registration, Notonegoro, will be given another setting.”
This went against Kawis Guwa's expectations, leaving him shocked. Notonegoro is arguably the most important assistant in the Administration Bureau. Thus, while listening to the decision of Heru Cokro for his removal from the Administration Bureau, Kawis Guwa was confused. Because finding someone to replace Notonegoro will be very difficult to do at this time, let alone he will serve as director.
For a while, Kawus Guwa suppressed the doubts in his heart and made the final institutional adjustment he proposed. “Seeing that the territorial administration is constantly being improved and expanded, the civil service system is becoming increasingly larger. Especially with the wave of privatization, all sorts of temptations will follow. Therefore, it is time we establish a special bureau to conduct supervision and evaluation of staffing tasks.”
Heru Cokro nodded in agreement, this was one of the big issues that came to his attention. Because after privatization, he should not think optimistically and blindly, that all government officials will still be clean and obedient to his main task. If Heru Cokro did not have such thoughts, this would be the immaturity of a politician. Thus, to prevent such a mistake, it must come and take root in its system. So as to keep government officials working hard and honest, or risk punishment. That would be the best way to handle it.
“I strongly support Mr. Kawis Guwa's proposal, and I also strongly agree to establish an Integrated Services Division. It will be responsible for the handling of civil services and the supervisory performance of government fighters. This division will be under the jurisdiction of the Administration Bureau.”
At this point, Kawis Guwa has made three simple steps in realizing his political ambitions. The newly formed Integrated Services Division was a sword that hung above the heads of government officials. So they have to think twice if they want to neglect their duties. Otherwise, what awaits them is demotion, dismissal, even more severe sanctions.
Regarding the work arrangement of the Integrated Services Division, it is not suitable to be discussed in the meeting, because it is too complicated. After the meeting, Heru Cokro would personally meet the bureau chief and discuss it separately.
After the Administration Bureau completed its report, it was now the turn of the Materials Reserves Division to report.
Witana Sideng Rana still with her flat face, said calmly: “There are only 1 proposal. There are currently 200 horses used to expand the cavalry. In my opinion, this needs to be improved further. Then, it is very necessary to establish a horse farm, and find the right horse to cultivate a superior horse.”
The proposal of Witana Sideng Rana made Heru Cokro think and remind, that in his previous life had found a good mount in Gresik, namely barong.
According to legend, barongs are depicted in various forms, mostly as creatures that have four legs with the head of a lion. Barong is also the leader of the army on the side of the good, he fights against the demon queen, Rangda. So, the barong had a god bloodline. He can run like the wind and has a very strong power. That would be a very suitable mount.
“There is a very unusual mount near Java Dwipa. As far as I know, most of them live in the center of Gresik. However, you must first cross the Bengawan Solo River to find it.”
“But!” Heru Cokro paused and continued his words: “the central area of Gresik has been inhabited by a group of powerful nomadic tribes. These wanderers all had strength and skill like soldiers, as well as were very good at riding and shooting. They're not easy targets. Before catching barong, you must first deal with them.”
Currently, Commander Ghozi of the military Intelligence Division took the initiative to stand up, loudly saying: "Your Majesty, let the troops of the military Intelligence Division be in charge of this matter!"
Heru Cokro nodded, saying solemnly, “I agree with the involvement of the Military Intelligence Division. I have a request too. Your top priority this time is to find out the specific area of the barong, not to clash with the wanderer!”
Ghozi nodded loudly and said: “Command received! Your Majesty can be sure!
At this point, the meeting of the first expansion of Java Dwipa has ended. After the meeting ended, Heru Cokro met with the military officers, studying the army's expansion plans for the next step.
