Rosse took in the expressions of everyone present, but said nothing.
Those who could be used would be kept, those who couldn't would be eliminated, nothing to discuss.
No matter how many people below voiced opposition, in the end there was only one path: agreent.
He spoke in a consultative tone, but he wasn't really consulting. He was issuing a clear notice.
"After the Holy Land incident, the World Governnt was completely paralyzed. After this World Conference, we will carry out a full restoration."
"The highest authority will still be held by the Five Elders; the Five Warrior Gods will oversee all of the World Governnt's powers."
"Below them are six major ministries: the Departnt of Agriculture, the Departnt of Finance, the Departnt of Justice, the Departnt of Environnt and Resources, the Departnt of Science, and the Departnt of Defense. The ministers of these departnts will hold power only under the Five Warrior Gods, and will be first-level authorities in the World Governnt. Each ministry will have two deputy ministers, who will be second-level authorities..."
"Simultaneously, the supre governors of the six Special Regions may report directly to the Five Elders; their status will be equal to that of the ministers of the six departnts. Each will have four deputy governors, who will be second-level authorities..."
As Rosse spoke, he laid out a complete hierarchical classification of the World Governnt's structure.
From top to bottom, it was divided into ten levels.
The highest level was the Five Elders, only five people in total.
Level One comprised the six departnt ministers, the six Special Region supre governors, the rotating chairman of the allied nations, the Fleet Admiral, and the Commander-in-Chief of the God's Knights, fifteen people in all.
Level Two included deputy ministers, deputy governors of Special Regions, deputy rotating chairn of allied nations, Marine Admirals, ordinary mbers of the God's Knights, and the head of CP0. This level had many people, but still fewer than fifty.
Level Three included allied nation kings, the Marine Chief of Staff, Rear Admirals, and the heads of the six departnts stationed in the six Special Regions. This level already had many people, over two hundred.
Only those who reached Level Three or above could be considered the core layer of the World Governnt.
Below Level Three, although they might be senior figures within departnts or even powerful enough to control a region in the seas, within the World Governnt system they would only be considered middle-level.
To put it simply:
Level Four corresponded to Lieutenant General.
Level Five corresponded to Major General.
Level Six corresponded to Brigadier General.
Below that were the World Governnt's lower-level ranks.
Level Seven: School Level.
Level Eight: Officer Level.
Level Nine: Grassroots Level.
Rosse would incorporate every subordinate position of the World Governnt into this ten-level classification.
He would also clearly specify the hard criteria for promotion within each departnt.
For example, as ntioned earlier, promotion to Admiral and Lieutenant General would require experience serving in one of the Four Seas; to beco a senior leader in one of the six major departnts would require similar experience.
As for promotion conditions within the allied nations and for the Five Elders, Rosse did not ntion them at all.
Allied nations were each nation's private domain, for the ti being Rosse would not interfere with their internal managent.
As for the Five Elders, those positions would certainly be held by Celestial Dragon families for now; when eventually only the Jaygarcia family remained among the Celestial Dragons, he would naturally arrange for his people.
First establish the frawork. As long as everyone played by these rules, even if he later removed so people, it wouldn't cause major upheaval.
Because this was a complete top-to-bottom system, if he only eliminated all the allied nation kings, the system would not collapse. It would only give fourth-level authorities hope of promotion, motivating them to stabilize the situation for him.
Rosse did not bring up the status of the Celestial Dragons; those people were not within his imdiate consideration. Just leaving them high and obvious, so everyone subconsciously accepted their status, was enough.
"Saint Rosse, who will serve as the first ministers of the six major departnts?"
This was the first ti Saint Nusjuro spoke, and he hit straight at the core question.
First-level authorities might seem nurous, but at most they were only fifteen people.
The six Special Regions weren't fully established yet, so their occupants wouldn't be confird now.
Besides that, the rotating chairman of the allied nations changed every four years, the position would go to the allied nation king with the highest votes among the fifty present, and only allied nation kings could serve; it had nothing to do with them Celestial Dragons.
The Fleet Admiral and the God's Knights commander had just taken office, they could not be replaced.
Therefore, the ministers of the six departnts naturally beca Saint Nusjuro's focus.
He didn't demand that they all be Celestial Dragons, but at least his family should hold one seat.
"The Minister of Science will be Sora, the Minister of Defense will be Kong, the forr Fleet Admiral," Rosse said calmly.
He of course knew what Nusjuro would say, but he was willing to concede appropriately.
More importantly, he simply didn't have that many people under his command.
Rather than appointing incapable or disloyal people, it was better to let people from the other Five Elders' circles take posts.
They would save face, and he would suffer no real loss.
Although he lacked people now, while rebuilding the World Governnt the frawork must be set correctly.
Otherwise, when the World Governnt is restored in a few years, it won't be changed again easily, changes later would cost more and waste more.
"No objections!"
"These two are acceptable!"
Hearing that it was Sora and Kong, the other Five Elders all expressed agreent.
Science and Military were obviously Rosse's domain, it made sense to arrange his people there.
If he hadn't placed his own people, they would have grown even more suspicious.
"The Minister of Agriculture will be myself," Rosse continued.
Whoosh!
Almost instantly, the gazes of Saint Nusjuro, Saint Mars, and Saint Garling all fell on Saint Somrs.
Saint Somrs was the current Martial God of Agriculture; from the title alone, this departnt should naturally be under his general oversight.
The establishnt of the six major departnts would reduce their burdens, but it also clearly ant decentralization of power.
But under their watchful eyes, just as they expected, Saint Somrs nodded calmly, "I think Saint Rosse serving is quite appropriate."
With Saint Somrs agreeing, the others had no reason to refuse and all nodded their assent.
But everyone knew the selections for the remaining three ministers would be the real key.
After all, Saint Somrs had already confird he stood with Rosse, but the other three had not.
"The Departnts of Environnt and Resources, Finance, and Justice currently have no confird candidates. Their appointnts will be decided at an internal Five Elders eting. Likewise, the second- and third-level authorities of the six major departnts will be selected within the Five Elders' conference," Rosse said lightly.
Those words imdiately eased the tense atmosphere.
Seeing the three, Garling, et al., slightly relax, Rosse's eyes flickered with a trace of amusent.
After all, three ministers might seem powerful, placing them among the top twenty in the World Governnt, but that was only nominal.
In reality, given the current state inside the Five Elders, the Departnts of Justice, Finance, and Resources practically had no real bargaining chips.
Would he consult the Departnt of Justice on law? Would laws he wanted to issue need the Justice Departnt's consent?
Would he have to ask the Finance Departnt for money? Would the Finance Departnt dare to block his budget requests?
The Resources Departnt was even more irrelevant. If he wanted a resource, he would simply seize it himself; there was no need to go through the Resources Departnt.
By the ti the Resources Departnt learned the plan and moved, he might already have taken the place with his people.
You can't expect the private assets of the Celestial Dragons to be placed under unified scheduling by the Resources Departnt.
The powers of these three departnts only mattered if the highest authority reached consensus and voluntarily integrated them into a constrained system.
Otherwise, they would be three departnts for show. Terrifying in status, but barely able to manage a handful of people.
