Chapter 242, Imperial Reform
During this time, the common people of the entire empire lived in a fear that they had never experienced before, and the imperial army, the Imperial Yuan Force Warrior Temple, the Imperial Police, and other institutions were mercilessly hunting down the remnants of the separatist forces throughout the empire.
In addition, not long ago, the imperial army attacked the separatists in many river systems, and innocent citizens in many star fields were affected, so people were panicked, for fear that one of them would be implicated by accident.
For the citizens of the Empire, who have enjoyed a comfortable life for more than 1 million years, they have never seen the Imperial government and the Imperial military behave like this, showing no mercy to those separatist forces, and removing these hidden dangers that will endanger the Empire in the future with an iron fist.
However, for most of the citizens of the empire, they were still in the dark for many times at this time, and only the citizens of the Guangling River system and the Dongxiang River system were cleared, and the imperial government was clearing the dark clouds that had hung over their heads for countless years.
The Guangling Xiong Clan, who was once extremely domineering and regarded the Guangling River system as their own family, disappeared in an instant, making countless imperial people here in the Guangling River system shout happily and wave their hands to say hello!
For the melon-eating masses who do not know the truth in many other river systems of the empire, the central station of the Imperial Galaxy Satellite TV has been broadcast for ten days and ten nights, and the official website of the imperial government, the official website of the imperial royal family and many other authoritative websites of the empire are also broadcast simultaneously.
The heinous crimes committed in the past hundreds of thousands of years, especially in the last hundred thousand years, were played out in detail from the Guangling Xiong Clan, the Dongxiang Zhao Clan, the Huangshi Cult, and so on.
The killing of high-ranking officials of the imperial government, the unauthorized occupation of the empire's time and space minerals, the unauthorized organization of the army and the use of pirates to cover people's eyes and ears, and the slaughter of countless innocent people to put pressure on the central government of the empire, etc., are innumerable and heinous, fully exposing the ugly features of these separatist forces, intending to draw the land as the king and split the Chinese nation!
Finally, in broadcasting the determination of the Central Committee of the Empire to combat separatist forces, to maintain the unity of the empire and the unity of the nation with iron and blood, and more importantly, to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people of the empire, please do not panic, and actively cooperate to maintain the unity of the empire and the unity of the nation!
In the end, Liu Qingquan personally came forward and delivered an important speech entitled "The Future of the Empire"!
1.25 million years ago, a great nation was born in the east of the earth, this great nation has created countless glorious histories, and has also experienced countless tribulations, we are all flowing with the blood of the ancestors of Yan and Huang, we are the descendants of the great nation, we are the descendants of the dragon!
It was also more than 1 million years ago that our great nation began to embark on the road of the universe and the sea of stars, and in the Orion spiral arm, we conquered the source of floodlight, the source of stars, the source of stars and many other prosperous star fields, and turned them into the new cradle of our Chinese nation.
From the Milky Way to the Docus Galaxy, from the Andromeda Galaxy to the Heyuan River System, from the Triangular Galaxy to the Guangling River System, our great nation occupies a vast river system with a diameter of 200 million light years and a thickness of 50 million light years, and we have more than 10,000 river systems and countless huge populations!
We are the great descendants of China! We will also be famous in the universe and stand tall in the forest of the universe's powerhouses!
However, when our empire was developing rapidly, many problems arose within our empire, and internal separatist forces were bred and developed rapidly, and these separatists intended to split our great nation and let us kill each other internally, and they were the sinners of history and the unforgivable enemies of the Chinese nation.
Standing at the turning point of history, looking back at our glorious and dazzling history, the future is an unknown darkness, our great Chinese nation may still experience countless hardships and hardships, but as long as we always unite as one, unremitting struggle, and have the courage to pay, our great nation will surely be able to shine in the dark universe.
We will also create a legend belonging to our Chinese nation!
The great descendants of Yan and Huang, let us always remember the history of blood and tears of our ancestors, let us always remember the shame of the past, let us hold hands, stride forward together, and embark on a more brilliant future!
Liu Qingquan's words seemed to be the best tranquilizer, settling down the empire that had gradually become a little commotion, coupled with the efficient operation of various institutions of the empire, because of the rapid healing of the war wounds of eliminating the separatist forces, the empire began to return to the trajectory of more than 1 million years.
After sweeping away the separatist forces in the country, the empire quickly carried out reforms, of which the key reforms were government agencies and army building!
In terms of administrative reform, instead of the previous strategy of streamlining the administration, many important institutions have been greatly increased to separate the local supreme governor who used to hold great power, especially the assassin who is in charge of a river system!
The original administrative unit was divided into five levels, namely the mayor - the governor of the planet - the general office of the galaxy - the history of the assassin - the center, and it has always been a strategy of streamlining the administration in the past, so the institutional setup is very simple, the number of people is relatively small, and the power in the hands of government officials at each level is very large.
Originally, the Imperial Imperial Family's Commission Against Corruption was specifically responsible for the supervision of government officials, and it has always wanted to be a good performer, and the integrity of the Imperial Government officials is very high, but there are too few government departments, too few people, too much power, and the previous traffic has not changed, so that it breeds separatist forces.
Therefore, in the new reform, the administrative division is first refined, the mayor - the governor of the planet - the general office of the galaxy - the general courtyard of the star field - the division of the river system - the history of the river system, and two levels are added in the middle to reduce the direct jurisdiction of the history of the thorn over the entire river system.
At the same time, the corresponding institutions were added to the three levels of government agencies of the Star Domain General Hospital, the River System Division, and the River System Thorn History, separating the economic power and the power to formulate local laws that originally belonged to the River System Thorn History, and the Thorn History only controlled the most basic administrative power.
The separation and restriction of the power of the assassin is the core and focus of this administrative reform, separating the power of directly managing all the river system governors from the bottom, and separating the two important powers in the hands of the assassin from the left and right, and further weakening the power in the hands of the assassin.
At the same time, this reform has further strengthened the power of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which used to only supervise the integrity of government departments, but now it has been further expanded, not only on the issue of clean government, but also on many other aspects under the overall jurisdiction of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
At the same time, the centralization of power was further strengthened, and the power to formulate local laws that were previously subordinate to the local government was transferred to the central government, and all river systems did not have the right to formulate local laws and regulations; The economic power that was originally subordinate to the local assassins was restored, and the imperial government had no right to govern economic taxation, abolished local water affairs, and returned to the system of unified taxation of the central government in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China; The local judicial power that was originally subordinate to the empire was also unified and brought under the central government, directly subordinate to the central judicial organs, and no longer under the control of local assassins.
Many of the powers that were originally delegated to the hands of local assassins because of the unchanged transportation were returned to the central government one by one, and they were restored to the state of centralization in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
This is the core of this administrative reform! Around this point, weaken local power, increase centralization, strengthen the supervision system, and completely kill the local assassin history who has been slowly sitting on the throne for more than 1 million years, so that the assassin will not be able to become a feudal official like before!
Of course, it can't be said that the previous system is completely ineffective, and the power of the central government was gradually distributed to the local river system, which was also a helpless choice, because the space transmission technology was too slow, and if all the power was in the center, it would be very slow to respond in many cases, and it would not be able to respond to various emergencies in time, so it would slowly strengthen the power of the assassin.
But now that there are conditions, the Level 6 Time and Space Gate has been studied, and the empire has now returned to the situation in the early days of the founding of the country, even if the empire occupies tens of thousands of river systems, it can now arrive very quickly.
Therefore, it is necessary to bring all the powers that were previously distributed to the localities back to the central authorities one by one, strengthen the centralization of power, and prevent the breeding of separatist forces and the strong and weak branches!
In fact, in the final analysis, this is a kind of game between the central and local governments, and how to operate it is also determined according to the development of the empire.
After the administrative reform, the imperial army has also carried out corresponding reforms, the army has never been sent by the central government, and it has always been firmly controlled in the hands, dare not at any time, the central government has not relaxed its control over the army, so this time to quickly extinguish the separatist strength, the importance of the army is very important.
At the beginning, the local side has been clamoring to decentralize the power of the army to the local area, and even the separatist forces did not hesitate to use pirate blood to wash many star fields to put pressure on the central part of the empire, and the central government has never let go, so the central side can only be comfortable when dealing with local separatist forces, otherwise if the army is also controlled by the local government, the empire would have fallen apart long ago!
The main problem of the imperial army is that the military rank system has completely lagged behind the construction needs of the imperial army, there are too few levels, it is too difficult to promote, and it is too slow, and after reaching the general, it is difficult to distinguish who is higher and who is bottom, Zhong Nanji, who commands the army, is the rank of general, and the person who commands the local group army is also the rank of general, and they cannot be distinguished by the rank of honor, and can only be distinguished by position.
Such a backward military rank system, inherited from the earth age, has seriously restricted the development of the imperial army, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers in the imperial army is not high, and the enthusiasm of the imperial people to join the army is not high, and many other problems that are not conducive to the construction of the imperial army have appeared.
Therefore, it is necessary to reclassify the ranks in the imperial army, increase the sense of honor of the army, improve the morale and enthusiasm of the soldiers, and so on.
Relatively speaking, the reform of the armed forces is relatively easy, and it is only a simple reform of the military rank system, and it does not involve the original fundamental changes and the separation and centralization of powers.
Originally, the military rank system implemented in the imperial army was from low to high: soldier (private, private, private, private, private), non-commissioned officer (corporal, sergeant, sergeant, sergeant), lieutenant (second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain), colonel (major, lieutenant colonel, colonel), general (major general, lieutenant general, general), a total of 17 ranks.
In the Imperial Army, non-commissioned officers can generally become the commander of a battleship, a lieutenant can command a small fleet, a colonel is the commander of a million warships, and a general is the commander of a starfield legion!
It doesn't seem like a problem, but it is very difficult to upgrade from soldier to non-commissioned officer, when the original size of a battleship was relatively large, a battleship had at least millions of imperial soldiers, and now the size of the battleship is getting smaller and smaller, and there are at least tens of thousands of imperial soldiers in a battleship.
It's very difficult to get promoted from so many people, and it's basically impossible to get promoted without mixing for hundreds or thousands of years.
From non-commissioned officers to lieutenants, to colonels and generals, basically every level is similar, and it is too difficult to be promoted, and it takes too long, which seriously affects the enthusiasm of the imperial soldiers.
At the same time, among the senior officers, the generals have the same rank among each other, but the difference in rank is too far apart, and it is also seriously inconsistent with the construction of the army's honor system, so it is necessary to carry out reforms.
The new military rank system: the rank of soldier is divided into three levels and 9 levels, the first private, the second private, and the third private; Private 1st and 2nd, 2nd Class, 3rd Class 2nd Private; Private 1st class, 2nd class private, 3rd class private.
The first level of non-commissioned officers is also divided into three ranks and 9 levels, and the detailed division is divided into military ranks such as first class corporal, second class corporal, and third class corporal.
The same is true for lieutenants, colonels, and generals, all of whom are third-order 9 levels, and the highest rank is a general, which is divided into 1-star generals, 2-star generals, and 3-star generals!
At this point, the Imperial military ranks have been divided into 45 levels, from the lowest level of 1st level private to the highest level of 3-star general, a total of 45 ladders can be climbed slowly by the Imperial soldiers.
Then, above the generals, the empire added two new ranks, commander-in-chief and marshal, and the commander-in-chief was divided into 4 levels: junior marshal, lieutenant marshal, senior marshal and marshal, and there was no more 1-level, 2-level, 3-level and the like.
Marshal is the highest rank in the Imperial Army, and it is divided into four levels in total, namely Marshal I, Marshal II, Marshal III, and Generalissimo!
The rank of generalissimo is an honorary level, which is generally obtained after the top leader of the imperial military retires, and in real terms, the third-level marshal in the imperial army is the highest!
The entire military rank system is divided into a total of 7 major levels and 53 ladders, which is enough for the soldiers of the empire to climb with full motivation!
