“Keeping important places and facilities? Does this specifically refer to what place? Does this include Bank Nusantara?” Fatimah was clearly interested in this description. There were treasures inside the bank, but no one was guarding it for now, this was something to worry about.
"Of course, at this stage, it will include the residence of the ruler and the Nusantara Bank as two places that are in dire need of special guards."
As the administrative director, Kawis Guwa also considered the formation of the division, saying, “As per His Majesty's intention, the Security Division's duties are heavy. In addition to general security duties, they are also responsible for the surveillance of dangerous goods, guarding, and other occupations. Regarding the plan, how many personnel has His Majesty planned?”
“For personnel, I targeted twenty people for a while. All members of the Security Division must be police, detectives or intel.” Heru Cokro replied quickly.
“20 people? This will be the largest division at the moment. Moreover, we are currently unable to accommodate so many people in the residence of the ruler. In my opinion, it is better to set up a special office for the Security Division.” Fatimah said with a smile.
Heru Cokro nodded. “Yes, I get your point. In front of the square will be erected a special courtyard as the office of the Security Division. In addition, security personnel will be equipped with uniforms, weapons, and equipment. It will be provided by Material Backup Bureau.”
Witana Sideng Rana nodded, there is no problem with the arrangement.
The next subject is the personnel arrangements that are important. Here, the three core officials had inevitable doubts about who would be recommended.
At this time, your concierge's maid shouted, "Reporting to His Majesty, the former Hoegeng militia member, has reported as per orders!"
Everyone stopped talking in surprise.
"Please let him in!"
A man in his early thirties entered the discussion hall. Heru Cokro greeted him and told him to sit down. He smiled at Hoegeng as he introduced her to the three directors.
Hoegeng had retired when he was injured. Kawis Guwa and Witana Sideng Rana were not in Java Dwipa at the time, so did not know this. Even Fatimah did not recognize him because he was on the military team.
Heru Cokro's call made Hoegeng very excited. He naturally recalled the battle of the first raider camp, and how he and Soekanto were severely wounded and had to retire from the military.
Just when the two were feeling the most depressed, Heru Cokro personally came to the hospital, visited them and comforted them. He even said that once the territory was upgraded to a hamlet, he would recruit them into the security team. Sure enough, the day after the upgrade, he had been summoned by his master Heru Cokro.
Heru Cokro smiled. “Hoegeng will be appointed as Director of Security. In addition, Soekanto and Jogonegoro will be in charge of setting up and assisting the Security Division.”
Jogonegoro had been wounded in the battle of the second raider camp and was forced to retire, as his left ear had been cut off. The other three disabled cavalry even had more severe disabilities, so they were no longer suitable for security work.
Sometimes history is a joke. These three injured people, in the next time will lead a division that has a famous reputation in the future. Hoegeng will be known as a one-eyed policeman, Soekanto will be an iron fist, and Jogonegoro will be referred to as a one-eared cop, together they will be the three legal swords in Java Dwipa.
The deliberation was finally over, everyone returned to their respective offices, there was no time for casual chatting
The new director of Hoegeng was eager to leave with Soekanto and Jogonegoro to put up a recruitment poster so that he could get 20 officers as soon as possible. He had sworn military oaths to Heru Cokro, promising that the Security Division would operate before the new year to ensure safety during the holiday season.
Siti Fatimah also mentioned that she was short on staff for the Business Division, in order to implement the economic stimulus cycle as quickly as possible.
Director of Material Reserve, Witana Sideng Rana also has a job that is not easy to handle. On one hand, he wanted to work with a military intelligence team, to search for barongs, war horses and find suitable areas to build a horse farm. On the other hand, with the rapid expansion of transportation demand in the region, the needs of special fleets such as the cikar and delman became another problem for the Material Reserve Bureau, he said, not to mention addressing the needs of the transportation fleet between Java Dwipa and Pantura.
Waiting until the others left, Kawis Guwa said, “Your Majesty. I have a recommendation from the Director of the Civil Registration Division, if you allow!”
"Who?" Heru Cokro was very curious about who would take over from Notonegoro before.
The work of the Civil Registry Division seemed very simple on the surface. All it did was register addresses, record residents' jobs, sort the required proportion of agriculture, industry and fishermen into five categories. In addition, carrying out the important task of finding people with talent.
By the time Notonegoro took office, he handled general talent independently. Only when he thought it was important, or if Heru Cokro was interested, would he specifically report to Heru Cokro and ask her to give arrangements. It was the right way to handle it, and the main reason why the Civil Registration Division existed was because of Notonegoro's wisdom and vision.
If he thought it was an important talent, he told Heru Cokro. But if otherwise, there is no need to bother him. Unless that's the talent Heru Cokro is looking for.
Kawis Guwa did not hesitate, saying directly, “Today, among the immigrants, there was a young scribe named Zudan Arif. I recommend him as Director of Civil Registration Division.”
This was a good surprise for Heru Cokro. He initially thought that Mr. Kawis Guwa would recommend his assistant Bayu Septianto to become the new director. If it was Bayu Septianto, he would not mind.
Heru Cokro had knowledge of Septianto. He took the initiative to register for the first political affairs class at the Kadewaguruan Academy and became one of the first people to graduate with outstanding achievements.
He had been chosen by Kawis Guwa personally as his assistant, to help him deal with government affairs. Mr. Kawis Guwa has been an excellent teacher in words and deeds. Therefore, Septianto is now much more proficient in handling government affairs. Heru Cokro has long seen it as a good seed and included it in the list of reserve talents, as well as has considered adding to his responsibilities.
He had not expected that Mr. Kawis Guwa would recommend a completely new person. It seems that this Zudan Arif is very special to be able to get the administrative director interested in him.
