Chapter 122: The Construction of the Base Camp (II)

From smuggling into the Northern Star Domain with a few small transport ships, he now has a vast Star Domain and a combat fleet that already has a certain combat effectiveness. This dramatic transformation was almost single-handedly created by Robin, who single-handedly saved the doomed fleet and grew it to the point where it is now. During this period, he carried almost all the pressure on his own shoulders, trembling and walking on thin ice to complete such a miracle.

However, as the territory grew larger and larger, and as the number of people under his command increased exponentially, Robin felt more and more that his energy was insufficient. Moreover, the staff headed by Yalves was almost driven crazy by the current busy and trivial work.

In a way, the think tank led by Yalves is not up to standard. However, Robin also knew that his staff had done their best, at least at this stage, they could not do better.

The reason for this state of affairs is that the purely operational staff officers of Jarvis and others are seriously dissatisfied with the current model of military-political integration.

However, if it is purely an operational staff department, this think tank of Yalvis is undoubtedly quite excellent, whether it is the integration of troops, the formulation of operational plans, the planning of defensive deployments, or the formulation of strategic guidelines, the staff has done a very good job. However, when the scope of work involves administrative implementation, urban planning, and so on, Jarvis is a little overwhelmed.

The simple political environment of the republic and the existence of a central computer made all these trivial administrative issues handled by the central computer, and as staff officers, Jarvis and others only had to think about warfare. Now that they had to deal with many civil problems, Jarvis and his men immediately exposed their inexperience, unfamiliarity with the polity, and so on, which could not be solved in a short time.

Therefore, even though Yalvis and the others have realized their own shortcomings, their desperate efforts to supplement all kinds of knowledge related to it still have little effect. And as far as Robin's original intentions are concerned, he is not willing to turn the Operational Staff into a nondescript freak like the General Staff. After all, if you want to survive in the Federation, force will always come first.

At present, how to solve the intricate civil and administrative problems has become the primary problem in front of Robin.

When it comes to solutions, there are no more than two. First, let Christine further strengthen the information processing ability of the data terminal, so that it can achieve a powerful management ability comparable to the central computer, which is a smart brain, and imitate the Republic and fully implement the digital management model. Second, a large area of administrative personnel should be excavated to fill the shortage of personnel in the fleet in terms of administrative personnel.

Among them, further strengthening the information processing capacity of data terminals is a step that is already in progress. However, according to Christine's personal estimates, with the current hardware conditions and his professional quality, the data terminal can barely reach 30% of the central computer at most, and there is no way to cover all aspects of various fields like the real brain.

In addition, the current administrative system cannot meet the requirements of fully digital management. So, from this point of view, it will not work to copy the Republic at all.

As for the excavation of administrative talents, it is also in full swing. In the recruitment process of special talents who have passed the interview, Old Jack's engineering and technology department has found a few talents that can be created, and as for other departments, there is basically no gain.

Therefore, the administrative staff used under Robin's command are basically drawn from the head of the logistics department, Butz, and with their current capabilities, they can only maintain the current situation.

Looking at Robin's frowning and pondering look in the conference room, Jarvis could already guess what he was bothered about, so he tried to suggest, "Why don't you try to make Gerner your assistant?" ”

"Gna?"

Hearing the name, Robin began to sort out a lot of information about Gna in his head.

Gerner was introduced by Nishizawa to join Robin as part of the Surprise Attack Ultra Nebula. Relying on his prestige among the Republic's stowaways, Gerner was instrumental in the surprise attack, and later performed well in the efforts to put the 'City of Chaos' in order. Now, not only among the smugglers of the Republic, but also among some of the freedmen from the Northern Star Domain, they have a lot of prestige, and there is even a faint tendency to become their spokesperson. In several large-scale conflicts between the freedmen, Gna also repeatedly intervened to mediate and avoid the further expansion of the conflict.

From the perspective of personal ability alone, Gna is undoubtedly an excellent administrative talent, plus he is from the bottom, and he has a good understanding of various civil subtleties. However, in Robin's eyes, Gna is a traitor who defected from the Republic, and his behavior itself shows that he is an ambitious man, and his current style of conduct is quite a federal politician. Hiring him as Robin's chief assistant may improve the situation in the short term, but in the long run, Gna, who is good at forming factions, will surely shake the cohesion within the fleet, with immeasurable consequences.

"No, Gna isn't a man who is out of his way to giving too much authority. At present, our data terminal does not have the strong personal supervision ability of a central computer, so if he is immediately promoted to a high position, it will cause serious consequences that we cannot predict. ”

After careful consideration, Robin vetoed Jarvis's proposal. However, after being reminded by Yalvis, Robin thought of another more suitable candidate, Nishizawa.

Like Garner, Nishizawa was a freeman from the Republic who lived in the Confederation all year round. However, unlike Gna, Nishizawa's arrival in the Federation was purely an accident, as far as he was concerned, he still very much reminisced about the ordinary and peaceful life of the Republic, and when Robin got along, Nishizawa did not hesitate to show that he still cared about the Republic.

In addition, in terms of personal ability, Nishizawa is also much better than Gna. Although Nishizawa's obscene appearance is a bit unsightly in terms of personal image and temperament, he has always been able to complete any difficult work that Robin has given him. He is more familiar with the rules of the federal business community than Robin, and has his own unique views on the two very different social systems of the Republic and the Federation, so in every respect, Nishizawa is the most suitable person to be Robin's assistant at the moment.

"Go and ask Martina for permission to bring Nishizawa over?" Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but think like this.

With what he knew about Martina, he knew very well that Martina would definitely agree to his request as long as he opened his mouth. After all, Nishizawa has always been in charge of Robin's side in the division of duties at Byron Heavy Metal Trading Company, and Martina also intends to let him replace him as Robin's business assistant. However, while getting to know Martina, Robin also knows Nishizawa very well. This damn fat man has always been obsessed with Martina, and protecting Martina seems to have become his only goal in life, so it is harder to get him away from Martina and come to the Ultra Nebula than to kill him.

Silently considering the relationship, Robin casually opened the personal computer at hand and browsed the latest information about the Byron Heavy Metals Trading Company.

During a previous meeting with Anse Elsel, Anse El had vaguely mentioned Cyril of the House of Byron? Byron will arrive in the Northern Star Field, and will most likely do something against Martina.

For this reason, Robin was worried for a while. But due to the busy schedule of official duties in the autonomous region, Robin has not been able to take time to pay attention to this matter. ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
