Chapter 290 Rapid Development
On January 1448, 1, when the war preparedness plan and the universal conscription bill were made public, Roland stepped on the accelerator and the War Council also entered the fast lane of development.
After the civil war and the Great Purge, all resistance forces attached to the War Council's lands were wiped out.
Under the orders of the Executive Committee, all local factions, local separatist forces, and large families that maintained rural autonomy were forcibly removed by absolute violence.
The War Council swept away all local forces, firmly grasped all the lands under its command, and established the first administrative agency in history to place rule at the grassroots level.
Moreover, since the local factions that were relatively better at governing the local areas were all killed, the aristocratic hereditary system in the administrative system was forcibly erased and replaced with the system of appointed officials established by Roland.
Although due to the continuous expansion of the areas that need to be governed, the administrative system has to follow the expansion of the old administrative system, recruiting a large number of grassroots officials, instilling the required basic knowledge, and then placing them in various places to be responsible for administrative management. Finally, based on their performance, confirm whether to hire them, and promote or dismiss them.
The newly joined grassroots officials had not received much training, so their administrative capabilities were naturally very poor. However, compared with the local nobles who had previously committed evil in the local area, the performance of these grassroots officials seemed quite good.
At least the grassroots officials whose brains have been instilled with basic knowledge know what can be done and what cannot be done. Moreover, even if the grassroots officials arrive at the local area and do nothing but maintain order, it is still better than the rule of local nobles.
After all, grassroots officials will not be like local nobles who will kill people at will when they are in a bad mood, collect taxes indiscriminately, and keep a group of servants to oppress the civilians everywhere.
In addition, grassroots officials are very obedient to the orders of the committee and do whatever they are told to do. Regardless of their abilities, at least their attitudes are good.
After the grassroots officials took their positions, the administrative capacity of the War Committee was greatly enhanced, and the committee's orders could be smoothly passed down to every city, village and town.
And in addition to administrative capacity, through the all-around violent removal of local and rural factions, all the resources and wealth they had accumulated over the years were now in the hands of the committee.
This was an incredibly astonishing harvest. The food alone was enough to satisfy everyone on the committee for a year or two without doing anything.
As for gold, silver, treasures, and various mineral resources, they are innumerable.
The Executive Committee did not continue to store these gains, but instead made decisive use of them.
Thanks to the meal-making technology deployed throughout the Apocalypse Territory, plus the output from the front lines to maintain the dead zone, the War Committee had no shortage of food. Therefore, except for a small amount of food with higher transportation costs, the rest of the looted food was directly sold to foreign caravans.
The same goes for various gold, silver and treasures. After leaving some gold and silver to maintain the normal operation of the War Council, the remaining gold, silver and treasures are constantly exchanged for various resources and technical slaves through caravans, and all of them are invested in the construction and development of the War Council.
If the administrative structure initially established by the committee was a crude engine, then the huge resources and wealth plundered from local and rural forces were the fuel that started the engine.
After having an engine and sufficient fuel, Roland, sitting in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator pedal of the War Committee's new war machine and rushed at full speed in the direction indicated by the war preparedness plan.
When the War Committee machine entered a high-speed leap state under Roland's attention, the "inferior parts" that blocked the efficiency of the flow were exposed at the fastest speed. Therefore, Roland could directly take out the bad parts and replace them with new ones.
Of course, these broken parts were not abandoned, but were replaced with other suitable places. If no suitable place could be found, they were thrown back for rework and rebuilding.
While replacing parts, Roland is also constantly updating and optimizing the internal structure and important programs that drive operation while the entire machine is running at high speed.
The specific manifestations are the continuous adjustment and updating of administrative agencies, the formal recruitment of countless officials, and a large number of official promotion, demotion and transfer notices.
Adjustments to the military's organization, retraining of soldiers, and orders to recruit new soldiers issued from all over the country.
A large number of military camps were built, and countless new recruits poured into the camps and began their training.
All over the War Council, with the influx of various resources, from cities to villages, from mountains to fields, countless large and small projects were established, and a large number of labor forces were mobilized to invest in this large-scale infrastructure covering the entire council.
Farmland, mines, water conservancy projects, road construction, and bridge construction.
Various infrastructure projects were put into construction with great vigor.
In addition to infrastructure, a large number of ordinary military and special equipment factories sprang up in the industrial areas designated by Roland. The craftsmen and special equipment masters under the committee gathered together and began to brainstorm, laying out assembly lines, and carrying out assembly-line and centralized production of various products.
Countless resources poured into the industrial zone and were exchanged for countless ordinary and rare tools. Then all of them were continuously invested in the production and construction of the committee, constantly accelerating the development and construction of the committee.
Under the various instructions continuously issued by the Executive Committee, the War Committee is developing rapidly at an unprecedented speed.
As a price, the resources and wealth plundered by the War Council from local factions and rural forces are being lost at an alarming rate.
At the same time, in order to maintain this rapid development speed, the Executive Committee also intensified the exploitation of the land. The art of cooking was popularized at the fastest speed, and the land was exploited wantonly in exchange for a steady supply of food. Most of this food was exported to maintain the rapid development of the War Committee.
Under the pressure of the catering technique, some deaths occurred within the executive committee.
Although the death zone undoubtedly destroyed the ecological environment, the Executive Committee could not care less. Everything was for victory.
In order to make use of the dead places, Roland also used his knowledge of necromancy to transform these dead places into special burial grounds, and all the undead generated in the burial grounds were thrown into the mines to mine.
Although the Executive Committee supported Roland in doing so, in order to avoid causing panic, these burial sites and the locations of the dead were restricted in entry and exit, and only official personnel who passed the qualification review could enter and exit freely.
Ugh
