Chapter 381 Planning
While Roland was reading the self-reviews submitted by representatives of various departments, at his command, the well-prepared pioneering and construction corps also passed through the border gate. Amidst a crowd of astonished eyes, this huge team, carrying a large amount of supplies, rushed headlong into the buffer zone.
The Pioneering and Construction Corps had been fully prepared long ago, but because the War Council annexed the United Army and wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble and irritate the Silver Empire, the Pioneering and Construction Corps did not set out and has been stationed on the mainland on standby.
Now, as the Silver Empire is busy with political struggles and the border nobles have reached an agreement with the committee, the Development and Construction Corps can finally go to the buffer zone.
Along with the Pioneering and Construction Corps, there were also some spellcasters traveling with them. Except for a few who were stationed in the buffer zone with the Pioneering and Construction Corps, most of them were responsible for sorting out the chaotic elemental environment in the buffer zone.
The chaotic elements of the buffer zone have been an important environmental factor limiting communication and activities between East and West Nar.
Although the spellcasters of Sinar have sorted out several safe passages connecting East and West Nar, these safe passages have their limitations and are often only opened once every few days. Moreover, there is a limit to the number of people and supplies that can pass through each time they are opened.
Before, when the War Council's trade volume was not particularly large, these channels could still meet the Council's transportation needs. However, as the Council annexed the United Army and commercial demands grew, these channels became somewhat stretched.
Moreover, according to Roland's plan, the War Committee will export a large number of goods to Sinar and purchase a large amount of resources in the future, and commercial activities will become particularly frequent.
By that time, only these few channels would seriously hinder the business activities of the War Committee and affect the committee's reconstruction plans.
Therefore, the committee also sent out a large number of spellcasters to sort out the elemental environment and build a new channel connecting East and West Nar, which is fully controlled by the committee, laying the foundation for the committee's future business plans.
When the Pioneer Construction Corps went deep into the buffer zone, Roland also read through the reviews submitted by various departments.
Although they were all writing for the first time and their writing was not very good, at least it seemed that they had reflected on their thoughts carefully, so Roland simply said a few words to them and let them go.
After all, although they all bear some responsibility for these things, the main reason is that the committee has lost a unified goal.
Seven years have passed since the first plenary session of the committee.
When the War Council was first established, the first plenary session of the Council successfully gathered the internal consensus of the Council and established the goal of killing Kan'ozu at all costs and defeating the Green Tide.
Now, the goals set by the first plenary session of the committee have been basically achieved. Kan'aozu is dead and the Green Tide has been repelled. Although the Green Tide has not been completely eliminated, it is only a matter of time.
If Roland had not stopped and forcibly stopped the war machine of the War Committee and switched to farming development, the War Committee would not be so confused now.
After completing the set goals, the war committee could be said to have drawn their swords and looked around in confusion.
The coreization of the occupied areas had attracted their attention before, but as the coreization of the occupied areas was smoothly implemented, they had free time and began to have wild thoughts.
Although the focus of the War Committee in the next few years will definitely shift to agricultural development, due to the annexation of the United Army, there is a large area of unstable occupied areas that need to be cored, and all committee members are very busy.
Therefore, the War Committee has not yet held its second plenary session to establish the committee's future development direction and redefine its goals. Therefore, agricultural development has not yet been set as the committee's future national policy.
Although the War Committee has not yet completed the complete coreization of the occupied areas and there is still some instability within the committee, after reading the reviews of various departments, Roland also realized that the second plenary session of the committee can no longer be delayed.
The entire War Council, after all, was just a multi-ethnic country established by Roland relying on his own abilities and the threat of the Green Tide. As a new force, the War Council lacked the historical background and foundation for unity and cohesion.
Without the threat of the Green Tide and without its target, the War Council could be said to be in a state where it could fall apart at any time.
If Roland hadn't been there, the war council might have fallen apart after completing its goal. The reason it has been able to hold out until now is entirely due to the bond centered around Roland.
However, even with Roland as the bond, the war council, which lacks a unified goal, will not split, but it will lack the motivation to move forward.
Therefore, the current War Committee urgently needs to hold a second plenary session of the War Committee to publicly establish a new goal that can unite the committee.
After realizing this, Roland quickly used his power to push for the convening of the second plenary session of the committee.
After Roland pushed for the convening of the general committee meeting, the routine administrative work naturally fell on Julius' shoulders.
This governor of the administrative department, who had been working diligently and shouldering heavy responsibilities for the coreization of the occupied areas, had just relaxed a little because the coreization of the occupied areas was going smoothly, when Roland threw heavy administrative work at him again.
In the administrative department, Julius almost fainted after receiving the news about the convening of the second general committee meeting.
However, the adjutant at the side immediately noticed her situation and decisively handed Julius a glass of liquid of wisdom. Julius drank the liquid of wisdom in one gulp with dark circles under his eyes.
Then, she opened and closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and returned to her work, starting to prepare for the second plenary session of the committee.
The administrative affairs of the committee are like this. Julius only needs to handle government affairs diligently, while Roland has more things to consider, such as: the new list of committee members and the agenda of the meeting.
When the first plenary session of the committee was held, the War Committee had just been established, and it was mainly composed of Roland's old Qi forces and the border area faction. Therefore, all the members of the first plenary session of the committee were humans.
But now it is different. The War Council has absorbed five intelligent races, namely half-elves, halflings, gnomes, goblins and dwarves. As members of the War Council, some of the outstanding figures among them have naturally been given the position of committee member.
Therefore, the convening of the second plenary session of the committee should also take their situation into consideration.
Although the committee promoted members based on their abilities and achievements and did not care about race, Roland still worked with the executive committee to draw up a list of temporary members, considering that the number of members of some races was quite small, only one or two.
This list of temporary members is mainly for races with less than ten members. It allows members on the list with military merit to participate in the general meeting of members as temporary members, ensuring that each race on the committee has a certain number of representatives.
Well, although having more temporary members is useless, it is better to have them than not. After drawing up the list of temporary members, the Executive Committee also issued the list of temporary members, and also announced the news that the second session of the plenary meeting of the members would be held soon, and ordered the members scattered around to hand over their work as soon as possible and come to Tianqi to participate in the meeting.
As the orders of the Executive Committee were issued to all parties, the committee members scattered across the country also perked up one by one.
Whether they are the members who participated in the first plenary session or the new members who have emerged in the past seven years, each of them is looking forward to this session of the congress.
Even the least politically savvy of the commissioners understood that the second plenary session would determine the situation of the War Council for the next few years.
Although the committee members who participated in the first session were not enthusiastic at first, after seven years of struggle and hard work, and with the goals set at the first plenary session of committee members almost fully achieved, they also gained confidence in the committee meeting.
The goals established at the general meeting of the committee were no joke. Once they were set, Roland and the Executive Committee would really push the War Committee to move forward towards the goals.
The new members who did not participate in the first session have also heard of the reputation of the plenary session.
Since the details of the first plenary session of the War Council had never been made public, when Roland killed Kan'ozu, the War Council repelled the Green Tide, and the entire committee was thriving.
The first plenary session of the committee has also been constantly praised and deified.
Under such circumstances, the new committee members were naturally looking forward to their first general committee meeting. They were also very curious about what the deified committee meeting would be like.
Therefore, after receiving the news, all members of the committee quickly began to hand over the affairs at hand, arranged the staff, and prepared in advance various materials they thought they would need according to the matters needing attention of the committee meeting issued by the Executive Committee.
It was naturally impossible to conceal the convening of the general meeting of committee members. The transfer of so many committee members would not be difficult to detect as long as one was aware, not to mention that the War Committee did not deliberately cover it up.
Therefore, within a week after the news reached the country, not only the entire committee but even the Silver Empire knew about it.
Of course, the public did not care if they knew about the committee. At most, they were curious about what decision would be made at this conference. Some busybodies would just establish a government in private. However, when foreign countries knew about it, they seemed to be ready to make a move.
Once the committee members leave, won't the committee become weak? This is a good opportunity to lurk.
However, before they could make any move, Roland had already predicted their actions. The Wind Knight Primarch Legion entered the border wall with great momentum and successfully suppressed their ideas.
Although the committee transferred all its members back to Apocalypse, this does not mean that the committee’s military strength is no longer effective. Hundreds of thousands of legion soldiers are no pushovers.
Moreover, the departure of the commissioner does not mean that there will be no extraordinary people stationed there.
The War Committee is not a traditional national force. The local military power is completely bound to a supernatural being. Once the supernatural being is gone, the place will be ruined.
For the War Committee, the local area still mainly relies on organized legion soldiers. The lack of a non-military extraordinary person will not have any effect on their combat effectiveness.
Even if some of the members come from the military, the impact will not be that great. The military has plenty of people who can temporarily fill the gap.
Under the committee's military system, unified order is the key. Except for the top few positions, the extraordinary people in the remaining positions are not irreplaceable, even the primarchs are not irreplaceable.
Under Roland's order, all parts of the committee entered a state of alert that was loose on the outside but strict on the inside, and soldiers in various places stepped up their vigilance.
If any forces think that the committee is weak and can be bullied, then they are thinking too much. If they dare to show up, the soldiers who are ready in various places can give them a big surprise at any time.
While the committee members were gathering towards Apocalypse, Roland also began to lead the preparations for the theme of the second plenary meeting of committee members.
At the second plenary session, Roland did not intend to have the final say as he did at the first session.
After all, the first session was because the committee members were not interested. If Roland did not have the final say, he would not be able to motivate the committee members. But now the second session is different. The committee members are obviously more enthusiastic, so Roland also plans to listen to their ideas.
Of course, in order to stay on topic, Roland still set the main tone for the Second Plenary Session of the Committee.
Construction and development is the theme decided by Roland, and the agenda proposed by the committee members cannot violate this main theme.
In addition to setting the main tone, Roland also pulled out personnel from the busy administrative department, set up restrictions, and asked them to stay in a secret room to organize and collect various materials that might be needed for the conference.
They will stay in the secret room until the end of the conference and will be responsible for providing all the information the committee members need.
In order to prevent leaks, not only were they forbidden to communicate with anyone outside, but Roland himself set up restrictions.
The general meeting of all committee members is a closed-door meeting. From the official start to the end, except for Roland and the executive committee members, all participating committee members must stay at the conference site and are prohibited from having any contact with the outside world.
Moreover, after the conference, the results of the plenary session will not be made public in full, but will be selectively disclosed based on the decision of the conference.
In addition, as the second plenary session of the committee, it is also the first plenary session of the war committee to move towards a regular state. The system and norms of the plenary session will also be determined based on the process of this plenary session.
If it runs well, all future meetings of the general committee will follow this process. If there are problems with the operation, then we will make some changes.
