For everyone, the Group's achievements in this year are something to be proud of, and everyone can say that everyone has made their own contribution to the transformation of the place from a barren land a year ago to the current trading port. This applause is not dedicated to the master of ceremonies on the stage, but everyone is applauding for their own performance.

Amid the applause, Ning Qi invited Tao Donglai, the original organizer of the crossing operation and the actual head of the current executive committee, to address everyone.

As usual, Tao Donglai did not prepare a special speech, but spoke directly on the impromptu basis: "Ladies and gentlemen, when we decided to leave the old world and come here to break new ground a year ago, I think most of us did not have a very clear vision of the future. In the past year, we have experienced a lot of difficulties together, but we have also completed many ideas together. I think that if you were to ask about your goals in life now, they would be clearer and more specific than they were a year ago, and the same is true for our group. If I were to put it into words, I would like to say that our immediate goal is to establish a complete social system that is conducive to the development of the productive forces!"

"In this plenary meeting, whether it is the restructuring of the organization, the formulation of laws and regulations, or the re-election of the executive committee from top to bottom, and the personnel adjustment, all measures are aimed at this goal. At this point, I hope that all of us in this group can have a unified understanding, a clear goal, a firm belief, and work together!"

Tao Donglai paused, and then changed his words and said: "I don't want to say more about the official words, everyone is not gathered here today to listen to my report, the time is limited, we still follow the meeting process, and the next link is the re-election of the executive committee and the counting of votes." Ningqi, let's get a ticket!"

Ning Qi walked to the microphone and said, "Please come to the front and check the counting process!"

The supervision team is a group of 10 people randomly selected from various departments, and this is also done to show everyone the fairness and openness of the voting and counting work. Several people carried the two glass ballot boxes to the front of the venue, and then Ning Qi opened the lock of the ballot boxes, and the staff of the Ministry of Civil Affairs began to count and count the votes. There is also a large whiteboard next to the ballot box with the name of each candidate, and the number of votes on the whiteboard is constantly updated in real time during the counting of votes.

Although the process was rather dull, no one made an impatient sound at this time. Even if they participated in the voting of the mass representative election before the crossing, very few people have experienced the whole process of counting votes, so most of them still have some novelty about it.

Ning Qi also seized the time to explain the voting process to the members: "...... This voting is open to all adults in the group by secret ballot, according to the voting rules, excluding the 11 members under the age of 16, a total of 439 people are eligible to vote. If more than half of the members vote, the result of the vote will be valid. The results are based on the number of votes obtained by the vote-counting working group, and the eight candidates with the largest number of votes, plus member Tao Donglai, will form the next SPC. In the event of a tie in the final selection, a second ballot will be held on the candidate in question until the result is determined. ”

At this time, the more nervous ones are probably the few new candidates in the audience. These people are all representatives of the young Zhuang faction in the crossing group, and they have already shown strong work ability at a young age, regardless of whether they can win this election or not, they are already rising political stars within the group.

Judging from the number of votes displayed on the whiteboard in the front, Yan Chujie unsurprisingly rode the dust far ahead of the others. Just the huge establishment of the Military Police Department and some units related to the military industry can ensure that his votes will be at least 200 votes or more, and the Military Police Department's performance in the Annan Civil War two months ago can be called excellent, and it has obtained a lot of economic benefits and political conditions for the crossing group, which has also won a lot of neutral votes for Yan Chujie.

And behind them are Bai Kesi, Ning Qi and Yuan Ruoxiu, who have relatively stable ticket sources, because their respective departments are relatively large, and the basic votes are relatively larger. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable) and Meng He, Gu Kai, Schneider and others, who have fewer department personnel, are neck and neck with several newcomers, and there is no gap for the time being.

The counting of the 400 votes did not take long, and after more than 10 minutes, the first count was completed. In order to ensure the accuracy of the statistical results, the monitoring group and the counting group also have to review the ballot papers together. However, at this time, based on the statistics recorded on the whiteboard, the final result can be guessed.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Ning Qi stepped onto the podium and announced the election results to the members present: "A total of 417 valid votes have been received in this voting activity, and the voting ratio has exceeded the requirements of the rules. The following is the list of the top eight candidates with the most votes, with 271 votes, and the vote-getter Yan Chujie ......"

Yan Chujie stood up and bowed to the members who applauded behind him to express his gratitude.

In the final voting results, except for Yan Chujie, Bai Kesi, Ning Qi, and Yuan Ruoxiu, the votes were relatively leading, and the others were not much different. Yue Zhiyun was the first among the three young people to enter the top eight, and he was successful in one fell swoop from a long-term observer of the executive committee meeting, which is actually in line with the changing status of the maritime sector.

The competition between Zhou Hengxing and Ren Liang is even more intense, both of them and Meng He's votes are extremely close, and finally Ren Liang squeezed into the top eight with the last result of 87 votes, squeezing Zhou Hengxing and Meng He out of the circle.

Although Zhou Hengxing was generally favored before the vote, he was still defeated in the final voting session. However, after the incident, some analysts expressed their hindsight opinions, believing that Zhou Hengxing had been stationed overseas for a long time, so that he did not have enough sense of saving in the base camp, and Gu Kai, who was originally not favored by the masses, regained a lot of popularity because of the news that the Ministry of Justice was going to be established. In addition, Gu Kai and Zhou Hengxing's main ticket sources are from Heitu Port, so it is reasonable for Gu Kai, who has a better base in the base camp, to win.

After the announcement of the voting results, the new list of members of the Executive Committee was born. Tao Donglai, Yan Chujie, Bai Kesi, Yuan Ruoxiu, Ning Qi, Gu Kai, Schneider, Yue Zhiyun and Ren Liang, a total of nine people, will form the first formal Supreme Executive Committee and take over all decision-making and management affairs of the Interim Executive Committee. According to the rules set by the Preparatory Committee for the Crossing Operation, the term of office of this executive committee was four years, that is, the next term of office would not be held until 1632.

Although there is no provision for the selection of a principal from among the executive committee, Tao Donglai will definitely continue to play the role of honorary chairman of the executive committee according to the previous operating model.

However, before the new internal meeting of the Executive Committee, there are a series of institutional personnel adjustments to be announced at the plenary meeting. These adjustments had already been approved by the Executive Committee before this, and were only made public on this occasion. Some have even entered the implementation stage, for example, the navy's preparations for the formation of the army have already completed the recruitment of personnel, and even the office space has been arranged.

Tao Donglai took the stage again and announced this series of adjustment plans. The first major project is the establishment of the Ministry of Justice, and the establishment of all three systems of public security, procuratorate, and law at one time, although the procuratorial and legal departments are likely to be just shell units for a period of time, the last Executive Committee believes that the shelves can be set up in the right way first, and then slowly fill in the content according to the development process.

As one of the foremost legal professionals in the Group, Gu Kai will serve as Minister of Justice and as Presiding Judge of the Supreme Court. In addition, he will be responsible for drafting and formulating the first constitution of the Crossing Group, as well as the accompanying civil, criminal, and commercial laws. This is a much more onerous task than a trial case.

And his foreign girlfriend Ruisa, who is also a lawyer, was appointed by the Executive Committee to the top position of the Supreme Procuratorate. Although this appointment seems to some to be too bold, for the lack of professionals, the order of the Executive Committee is actually somewhat helpless. Of course, there are applaudations if there are concerns, and after the announcement of Ressa's appointment decision, there was a burst of applause among the participants that could not be ignored, basically female members as representatives of feminist elements, and Ressa has a high reputation among the female members of the group.

Another institutional restructuring measure for the judiciary is the separation of the police component of the General Police Department and the transfer of the police department under the name of the Ministry of Justice. The new department, named the Department of Public Security, is primarily responsible for internal security matters. According to the institutional setup of later generations, the public security department was supposed to be a unit at the same level as the judicial department, but the Executive Committee, taking into account its own specific situation, the so-called Ministry of Justice would not have any authority over the general public without the full assistance of the law enforcement department, so it finally decided to assign this law enforcement department to the Ministry of Justice for unified management.

All the members of the former Military Police Department in charge of police affairs and public security have all been transferred to the new Public Security Department, and the top position in this new organization is held by Ren Liang, who was a prison guard and has just been elected to the executive committee. Since he had done a very good job in the management of the camps, no one objected to the appointment of the Executive Committee.

The naturalized civilian security forces, which were originally subordinate to the Military Police Department, will also change their flags and officially change their names to the police, which means "the police are the first, and the inspection is the last". The name change is a small matter, but the meaning behind it is not just a name change, the original nature of the security team is only a local self-organized law and order maintenance force, which is a lower grade than the militia group, and most of the Ming people from outside do not take these security teams in black seriously. However, after this restructuring and renaming, the public security police will become a permanent law enforcement force, which is fundamentally different from the original security force in terms of nature.

In addition to taking over the internal security control, the labor camp system, entry and exit management, fire and security and other work that the Military Police Department was previously responsible for, the newly established Public Security Department will also further expand its responsibilities and powers, and will begin to establish a system of household registration for naturalized residents in cooperation with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and will begin to set up grass-roots management units in various localities in imitation of the form of police stations.

Of course, it is still difficult to achieve the current situation in order to further refine the organizational setup according to the distribution of functions, and the lack of management personnel is still a bottleneck that restricts the improvement of the organizational structure. The problem with the departments now is not that they are worried about the large number of redundant staff that will result from the refinement of the organization, but that there are simply not enough clerks to achieve this functional refinement. It is necessary to rely on the group's own education system to cultivate talents, and the speed of development is really not enough to keep up with the needs of development, but this can only wait for the gradual progress of the immigration work, and the introduction of more available talents from outside.

Compared with the increasingly large operational establishment of the militia groups, the number of naturalized people's policemen under the Public Security Department is really a bit shabby, with only about 200 people. However, given that the proportion of armed personnel in the region's population has reached a point of frenzy, it is estimated that there is not much chance that Ren Liang will have a resolution to expand the force after Ren Liang takes office. Therefore, for Ren Liang, how to use the limited police force to control the law and order situation in the jurisdiction will also be a difficult challenge.

The second major organizational adjustment is the Military Police Department. In addition to separating the police department from the military police department, the division of the army and navy is also an important step in the current organizational restructuring.

After the separation of the police department, it is a bit unjustifiable to call it the military police department, so it is imperative to change the name. However, the direct renaming of the Ministry of Defense seems to be too ostentatious and does not fit the theme of focusing on development and Taoguang at this stage. As for the renaming of the "Ministry of War", not to mention, the Executive Committee has no plans to tear up the face with Daming and directly face it. After thinking about it, the military finally decided to use the name "Military Commission," which sounded rather vague in function, and called it the "Haihan Military Commission" to the outside world, and it was not easy to violate the taboo of the Ming Dynasty because of this.

The army department will basically continue to use the original personnel and establishment, and there will be little change in the entire combat system, with Yan Chujie as commander of the army units, Tao Donglai as deputy commander, and Ha Lugong, who served as deputy commander-in-chief during the operation to aid Vietnam, as chief of staff. It is worth mentioning that Qian Tiandun, who made great achievements in the previous operation, will also be promoted to the post of battalion commander of the "Independent Battalion of the Annan Colonial Region," which is still on paper.

Compared with the already formed army units, the newly formed navy is relatively troublesome, and the warships and sailors are already partially in place, but the biggest problem facing the navy is not these two aspects, but the lack of ship commanders.

Although the military has abundant human resources, one of the biggest obvious shortcomings is that there are no former naval service personnel. It is a miracle that none of the dozens of members who have served in the military have a background in the navy.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is, the navy still has to be established after all, and when there is no ship, it can build its own warship in Shengli Harbor, and it can naturally be slowly cultivated without a commander. Having said that, although there are no people from the navy, the military does have professionals in navigation.

Under these circumstances, Tom Wang, who had always been regarded as a half-foreigner because he was born overseas, finally gained the importance of the military. Tao Donglai announced in public at the meeting that Tom Wang would assume the post of supreme commander and commander of the newly established navy.

In the previous aid to Vietnam, Tom Wang, who served as the chief of staff, also participated in the front-line operations for a long time, and the performance is obvious to all, and it can be said that it is a well-deserved result that can be reused this time. And even those who are not accustomed to the North American gang have to admit that in the position of commander of the navy, there is indeed no second candidate like Wang Tom who is proficient in navigation and has a certain military literacy in the position of commander of the navy.

Tom Wang's obsession with sailing is also well known, and the main reason why this guy chose to participate in the crossing operation in the first place was to become a famous navigator in history until the 17th century. And for the development strategy of the Crossing Group, serving in the Navy is probably the best way to realize his dream. Therefore, in the appointment of this personnel, the military and Wang Tom himself hit it off, and Wang Tom immediately agreed to the military without even putting forward any additional conditions.

However, to Tom Wang's regret, his other friends were unable to serve in the navy with him because of the heavy work of their respective departments. In the end, the Executive Committee made certain concessions and compromises, and the other five members of the North American Gang would serve in the Navy as special military advisers, and if necessary, they could directly serve as naval officers and accompany the army. After all, these people all have strong seafaring ability, even if they can't directly board the warship as naval officers now, at least they have to be used as reserve combat forces.

Compared with the army units that have been in the army for more than half a year and have received the baptism of actual combat, the newly established navy can be said to be still in the stage of toddlers. Although the military assigned Tom Wang, a nautical expert, to the navy, he never commanded a 17th-century maritime combat unit, and had to start from scratch.

According to Tom Wang's personal opinion, if the navy wants to form a large-scale combat effectiveness, in addition to a naval fleet with strong firepower, it must also have corresponding training institutions to provide a steady stream of crews and sailors for this maritime force. Compared with the army units, the navy has much more to learn, and it will be difficult to meet the requirements of the executive committee for the navy to build up its combat effectiveness by relying solely on the existing combat personnel training system
