Chapter 188: Reforming the Ruling System and the Establishment of the Army (3)

The protagonist basically excludes the power position of the queen ant in the power structure of the Divine Envoy King's legion.

Because the protagonist feels that it is unnecessary to give the queen more political power than before.

First of all, there is no tradition of queen ants participating in politics in the legion of the Divine Messenger King.

As the dominant ant clan in the army of the Divine Envoy King, the behavior habits and political system of the big-headed ant clan are basically inherited from the period of the old big-headed ant kingdom, which is a typical male ant country, and has always excluded the queen from the power structure.

Judging from the information of the oldest king and the queen ant inheritance faction, the old big-headed ant kingdom also implemented the queen ant system in history, but it was later replaced by the male ant system, and the male ants naturally strictly guarded against the queen ant's touch on power.

Not only does the big-headed ant family have no tradition of queen ant participation in politics, but most of the other 7 ant families are also male ants, only the leaf cutter ant family is the queen ant system, and the hunting sickle ant family is male ant system.

The protagonist does not intend to interfere with whether the representatives of each race are queens, females, or males, but within the big-headed ant family, the protagonist decides to respect tradition and keep the queen away from politics. And throughout the legion, the male ant system must also be adhered to.

After all, the protagonist himself is a male ant, and although he wants to limit the power of other male ants, he must not overthrow the male ant system, otherwise he will deny the legitimacy of the divine king's autocracy.

Secondly, the protagonist has the support of the Divine Worker Ant, the Divine Soldier Ant, and the Great Worker Ant class, which is enough to balance the most powerful male ant class, and there is no need to support a new class to divide power.

A new queen ant political class is not like the god worker ant and the god soldier ant who have a blood bond and natural closeness to themselves, nor does it need to rely on the high-end food provided by the protagonist to maintain it like the big worker ant class.

An ancient, unconstrained class of the protagonist that cannot be eliminated, is a political force that the protagonist absolutely does not want to see.

Finally, the queen's physiology makes the protagonist feel that they are not suitable for meetings and work for the time being.

The vast majority of queens spend most of the year in the reproductive stage with swollen and bloated abdomen, and it is difficult to even move, so how can they attend meetings and carry out assigned tasks?

The queen ant assembly of the leafcutter ant clan is rarely held, and only important matters will gather all the members of the meeting, and the usual talk is about some old queens who are very senior, old, and have a serious decline in fertility or even no old queens, and they have no difficulty in moving.

But in the Legion of the Divine King, the oldest queen ant is only three years old, which is equivalent to the age of about twenty years for humans... Far from the point where you can't have children after menopause.

The protagonist can't wait for the queen ant to move slowly over every time he has a meeting!

As for the female ant system, such as the bullet ant family, as far as the protagonist knows, the female ants with higher status in their power organs, equivalent to the Standing Committee, must give up childbearing, and even castrate their reproductive organs very cruelly, so that the surviving female ants can enter the top level of power and give up childbearing to lead the ant clan wholeheartedly.

Scythe ants are not so cruel, but they naturally like to disperse into small colonies, surrounding queens or females, and do not communicate with each other much. Even their clan's ant clan assembly, these loose elements are not interested, and the protagonist has to ask the big-headed ants to help them set up the conference body.

All things considered, the protagonist decides to prohibit the queen ant and the female ant from gaining power among most of the clans, such as the big-headed ant, and can only enjoy a higher status and a generous supply of materials.

The leafcutter ant clan implements the queen ant system, but both male and female ants also have to participate in politics, at least 20 seats each in the ant-clan assembly of the leafcutter ant clan. The Ant Clan of the Scythe Hunter Clan is similar.

The protagonist also needs to establish a set of administrative institutions to carry out government affairs, and at first he thinks about the complexity of separating the power and the administration, but then considering that the ant state itself is still very primitive, he still abandons the system modeled after the mature modern human state.

In his new plan, the heads of the various organs should themselves be allowed to be delegates to the joint meetings of the tribes and the general assembly of the ant tribes.

For example, if the spade elephant is the commander of the legion, it is impossible for him to be the commander of the legion but not be selected as a representative, and it is impossible for him to give up his military position for the sake of the representative.

The same is true of "Little Secretary II", as the absolute pillar of the scientific research group, it is impossible to give up his position, and he cannot but give up a representative position.

Then simply merge the two into one, so that the topics passed in the conference room are just allocated to the relevant representatives to implement, and it also saves the step of issuing a document from the power organ to the executive organ.

In ancient human civilizations, there was no separation between power and administrative organs for a long time, and such a system was more suitable for the actual situation of early civilizations.

But the protagonist plans to create several specialized institutions to manage increasingly complex economic and social activities.

In fact, the protagonist had previously established a standing army, a construction team, an agricultural team, a grain collection team, and a miscellaneous service team in [Dongyang City], but this administrative structure was still very primitive and far from being able to effectively manage the increasingly advanced mode of production.

This time, the protagonist decided to create several specialized institutions according to the current level of development, each with its own duties.

In the main nest, the Divine Envoy King Legion will have ten departments: the Military Department, the Finance Department, the Ant Mouth Department, the Agriculture Department, the Industry Department, the Scientific Research Department, the Engineering Department, the Communications Department, the Foreign Affairs and Trade Department, and the Ministry of Education.

Among them, the Military Department is responsible for cooperating with the Divine Envoy King to command and coordinate the actions of the army, and is also responsible for military logistics and other related matters. At present, the minister is concurrently held by the spade elephant.

The General Staff Office is planned to be made up of officers who have retired due to old age, illness and disability, so that they can use their spare energy and also assist the protagonists in decision-making military operations. In the future, we will also consider opening a special school to train specialized staff ants.

The Logistics Service is responsible for the collection, transportation and supply of logistical materials for the army, and has a special military transport team, which is separate from the civilian transport team of the Ministry of Communications.

The Conscription Service is responsible for the timely replenishment of troops in accordance with the vacancies in the Standing Corps, as well as for the formation of new units.

The Training Service is responsible for the day-to-day training of the army. Originally, the daily training was organized by the regiments themselves, but now the training rights are stripped out, which is more professional and weakens the commander's control over the army in all aspects.

The Animal Control Department is responsible for the domestication and breeding of flies, beetles and other control animals, and the breeding farms of this kind of military control animals are separated from the farms of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Military Industry Department is responsible for the military-related industrial production, and since the iron-making blast furnace and other workshops are under the management of the Ministry of Industry, this department currently plays a coordinating role. However, in the future, as the productive forces develop, there will be special military factories and military scientific research teams under its management.
