Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 307 Management Regulations

There were a lot of people in the lecture hall.

But no one cared about Chen Ming brought in by He Gu.

After all, not everyone knew Chen Ming's face, even if he was disguised.

At the same time, most of the people who knew Chen Ming thought that Chen Ming would definitely go to meet Bai Quan first after arriving at the headquarters, and no one expected He Gu to dare to bring someone into the lecture hall.

So at least for the time being, when Chen Ming entered the lecture hall, no one felt that anyone was looking at him.

Chen Ming moved a little closer to He Gu and whispered, "What is this lecture hall for now?"

"Of course, the lecture hall is for holding meetings and giving reports."

He Gu seemed to be focusing on other people. He subconsciously replied before he realized Chen Ming's thoughts and explained, "It's for the meeting in the Beniu Star Region."

"Our headquarters sent such a large fleet there, and there will be new reinforcements later, so the rear must also be adjusted in time."

"Adjust what?"

"You have to know that the Beniu Star Region is a star region, and our legion is going to control the entire star region, and one star region can fully support a legion."

"This is an opportunity to expand the Fourteenth Legion's military strength, but it is also a place where problems will arise."

Chen Ming probably understood what He Gu meant.

The Beniu Star Region is too far away from the Fourteenth Legion's headquarters, and an army supported by a star region can completely break away from the headquarters and become independent.

So the Fourteenth Legion must pay considerable attention to being vigilant against division, and it must not allow the part that is separated to become a new independent legion.

"Worried about the split?"

He Gu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but it's more than that."

"You can see that the Fourteenth Legion is now powerful. We are the most popular in the entire empire. If the higher-ups have the idea of ​​splitting our legion, Beinu is the best opportunity."

"So we must be prepared to deal with this possibility. Even if the higher-ups really make it clear that our legion must be divided into two, we must do something to minimize the impact."

"This report meeting is to announce a management policy for the Beinu star field discussed by the legion's top leaders."

"It's probably to establish a rotation mechanism for the management of the headquarters and the Beinu branch. You should know the reason."

Chen Ming certainly understands.

The management situation after the Beinu star field is absolutely fully covered by the top-level Fourteenth Legion. The top level is occupied by the Fourteenth Legion, and a small number of Beinu natives are left.

The middle and bottom levels are a mixture of the legion and the Beinu natives.

This means that if the management of the Beinu star field does not rotate, there is a high probability that Beinu will be controlled by the same group of people during the legion's control of Beinu.

There will definitely be big problems.

So when Bei Niu is completely controlled, most of the forces of the 14th Legion will digest and infiltrate Bei Niu.

This is something that must be done before ensuring that the two separated star regions will never become independent.

He Gu did not confirm Chen Ming's thoughts with Chen Ming, because he knew that Chen Ming would definitely guess it.

"In addition to what I just said, the rest is to announce a few new internal management regulations applicable to the current situation."

Management regulations?

Chen Ming was about to ask what the management regulations were.

He Gu had already signaled Chen Ming to sit down at the position next to the Psychic Research Institute where the sign of the department was placed.

The position of the people in the Psychic Research Institute in the lecture hall is even at the front of the entire lecture hall.

After all, this department is considered to be a civilian department ranked among the top few in importance in a legion.

Other research departments that can compete with the Psychic Research Institute are only the Ship and Weapon Design Institute.

Of course, although the research department is important, it has nothing to do with the movement of the legion.

Therefore, when the army arranged the location of the Psychic Research Institute, it was arranged in a position that was relatively forward, but also relatively close to the side.

It was equivalent to being in a corner of the lecture hall, which would not attract much attention from others.

"What management regulations?"

"You will know later."

He Gu sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. It seemed that it would take some time for the conference to start.

But Chen Ming still had several questions to ask.

What he wanted to ask most was what He Gu meant.

Why did He Gu bring him to this lecture hall to attend this conference?

Under normal circumstances, even if he wanted to come, He Gu would first take Chen Ming to Bai Quan's side, and then Bai Quan would bring him here and sit in the seat of Bai Quan's faction.

And the Psychic Research Institute that He Gu belonged to had nothing to do with any faction, so there was no need to bring him here.

There must be some reason for He Gu to do this.

But He Gu was sleeping now, and Chen Ming had nothing to say.

He simply took a look around at this moment.

It would be fine if he didn't look, but he did.

Chen Ming saw the front entrance of the lecture hall, and Bai Quan's old boss just walked in and was about to take a seat.

And just as Chen Ming looked at his old boss, his old boss's eyes also passed over him.

Chen Ming was sure that his old boss also saw him, because his eyes paused on him for a while before moving away, and then slid smoothly over He Gu.

But he pretended to look like he didn't see anything.

Without any pause in his body movements, he sat in the first row of the lecture hall surrounded by other people.

And it was the middle row of the three rows on the left, middle and right of the lecture hall, which was closer to the middle.

He sat with several generals.

And some other lieutenant generals that Chen Ming saw were basically sitting on the side.

Chen Ming looked at Bai Quan's old boss for a while and then retracted his eyes, and there was no special expression either.

After waiting for about half an hour.

More than a hundred people came one after another, bringing the number of people in the entire lecture hall to about five hundred.

When the time came to 9:00 a.m. on Earth time, the report meeting officially began.

He Gu also opened his eyes immediately.

A general walked up to the stage from the first row and started the meeting.

The meeting was just a report meeting, just listen.

Chen Ming simply pretended to be listening, picked up the pen and paper prepared on the table in front of him, and began to scribble.

Of course, he did listen with his ears perked up.

He even listened very seriously.

This report meeting of the 14th Legion was about the Beniu Star Region, and the Beniu Star Region was very close to the Galo Star Region.

So the Legion’s actions on this star region must also have some impact on the Galo Star Region branch.

He had to listen.

The more he listened, the tighter Chen Ming frowned.

Because the content of the meeting was indeed the same as what He Gu had just briefly said.

It was about the management rotation system of the Beniu Star Region.

It was said in more detail, so that the headquarters had to regularly station additional staff in the branch.

At the same time, some of the branch's management personnel need to rotate with the headquarters to ensure that the branch always maintains close contact with the headquarters.

At first, Chen Ming didn't think there was anything wrong, but as Chen Ming listened to it and connected it to several management regulations announced later, the situation seemed a little wrong.

Because in addition to the personnel scheduling of the top management.

The management regulations also require that all military ranks and personnel changes above a certain position in the branch need to be reviewed and approved by the headquarters, a new department established after receiving the order from the Empire to enter Beniu.

This regulation is used to limit the branch's appointment authority. Specifically, school-level officers and battalion-level positions and above are restricted.

At the same time, the administrative management log of the branch also needs to be fully backed up and archived, and sent back to the headquarters regularly.

This sounds reasonable. The administrative management log includes some things like reward and punishment systems, and it should indeed be known to the headquarters.

The direction of military supplies of senior and above levels or large quantities of military supplies in the branch must be known to the headquarters.

Chen Ming remembers that there is a list of these senior registered military supplies.

He has also seen it.

It can only be said that all the materials used by cruiser-level and above ships can be regarded as high-level materials.

The headquarters only needs to know the direction of the materials, and does not need to write clearly where each piece of material is used. As long as they can have a general inference and understanding of the situation of the branch, it will be fine.

It can be seen that this report meeting is intended to make the branch subject to the headquarters in all aspects.

And there is no problem with these management regulations being applied to the Beniu star field.

Chen Ming has no objection.

However.

All the content of the entire conference.

All the management regulations mentioned refer to the "branch", not the "Beniu branch".

This is the biggest problem.

Although this conference was held because of Beniu, all regulations will be applied to the branch used for Beniu at the first time.

However, the Galo branch is also a branch of the 14th Legion, and everything said in the entire conference will also apply to the Galo branch.

Let's take the simplest example.

If the headquarters had such regulations before.

Then the branch will have management personnel from the headquarters, becoming the management of Baiquan.

Everything Baiquan does will be influenced by the headquarters management.

The previous internal purge is likely to end in vain under the influence of this person.

Although there are loopholes in this regulation, which can allow the headquarters to send people from the same faction.

But other conflicting factions in the headquarters will definitely not miss this opportunity to make trouble.

If other factions are mixed into the management, there will definitely be big problems.

The 14th Legion has just moved in to Beniu, and multiple factions are competing at the same time, so it doesn’t matter if there are more people.

But if other people are stuffed into this small place of the Galo Branch, the situation will be completely different.

It's scary to think about it.

And there is another situation that may happen, that is Chen Ming's position.

According to the current requirements, Baiquan does not have the authority to give Chen Ming, a psychic, the same power as a captain-level officer. It must be approved by the headquarters.

And Chen Ming's psychic power is there. Before the Fourteenth Corps showed full trust some time ago, the headquarters had excuses and reasons for Baiquan to not give Chen Ming enough authority.

Of course, Chen Ming was promoted to the same level of officer after joining the Corps directly from an external tactical instructor, and even promoted to the same level by relying on research results. This was reviewed by the headquarters, and there is no problem.

And the current rules will not affect the previous things. Chen Ming is what position he should be.

Otherwise, Chen Ming would not get the spiritual awakening nerve and the thousands of contribution points sent by He Gu.

Just thinking about it, Chen Ming thought of what Baiquan had done in the Jialuo branch that did not comply with the current management regulations.

And if these management regulations are really implemented...

Chen Ming looked up at Baiquan's old boss.

Although the people in the front row did not move much, they would not show their thoughts even if they had them.

But the faces of those who sat a little further back had very ugly expressions.

On the contrary, some people who sat in other seats were staring at their old boss with a look of amusement, and it was obvious that they also knew what the regulations were about this time.

He Gu also turned his head slightly to look at Chen Ming at this time.

He saw Chen Ming's serious expression, so he knew that Chen Ming had understood the importance of this conference.

In fact, when He Gu knew that this conference was going to be held, he had roughly guessed what would happen.

The 14th Corps did not have a branch before, and Baiquan's side was a new attempt of the Corps.

And this attempt now seems to have been obviously successful.

Then even if there was no Bei Niu incident in the future, when Baiquan expanded the Jialuo branch, the headquarters would also have corresponding rules.

So it was only a matter of time before the content of this conference appeared.

This conference was not only aimed at Bei Niu, but also at Baiquan's faction.

He Gu felt that this kind of thing needed to be made known to Chen Ming.

But Bai Quan couldn't come, and the time just now was not enough for Bai Quan to arrange Chen Ming into the lecture hall.

Only if he applied for an extra position in advance could Chen Ming get the news in the first place, and the news was not processed by anyone.

First-hand information can make people consider and analyze without interference from anyone.

Although Chen Ming and Bai Quan would know about this sooner or later given their relationship, he brought Chen Ming here in advance, and his attitude was already shown.

He wanted to show his goodwill to Chen Ming.

He was willing to invest in Chen Ming.

He hoped that Chen Ming would be able to temporarily join the Psychic Research Institute under his goodwill.

Because he really needed Chen Ming's psychic power to do things, especially the things of the mechanical race.

As the legacy of another civilization, the mechanical race itself has a large number of psychic-related equipment and devices, and even mechanized psychic creatures have appeared recently.

They are inseparable from psychic power, so their Psychic Research Institute certainly has a research room dedicated to studying the psychic properties of the mechanical race and the psychic weapons of the mechanical race.

The war of the mechanical race is about to begin.

The benefits of Chen Ming, a psychic who can control the mechanical race, to the war are obvious.

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Ming is no good at his own research institute, but that they can promote the research results faster.

And their Psychic Research Institute is supported by the entire legion.

The resources they have are not on the same level as Chen Ming's.

Chen Ming's research institute needs to apply for things, and it depends on Bai Quan's means.

Although there is indeed some support from the legion, it is definitely not as good as the Psychic Research Institute, which is a storage place for a large amount of psychic materials.

Even if Chen Ming does not want to join the Psychic Research Institute, it is just a temporary cooperation, which will be of great benefit to both parties.

So He Gu's idea is to temporarily move Chen Ming, or even Chen Ming's entire Extraordinary Research Institute, to the Psychic Research Institute at least during the war between the Empire and the Mechanical Race.

Of course, his own behavior does have some problems.

After all, the Psychic Research Institute itself is absolutely neutral and does not participate in any factional struggles, whether it is the rules of the Psychic Research Institute or the rules of the legion.

But the Corps and the Institute cannot completely prohibit all researchers from interacting with people from any faction.

Even the researchers within the Institute cannot be without affiliation in many cases, and they will always be close to people from certain factions.

For example, He Gu is actually close to Lou Wei.

When Lou Wei asked He Gu to help determine Chen Ming's psychic status, he came immediately.

But this did not affect his watching the show later, nor did it affect his friendship with Chen Ming, who had a conflict with Lou Wei.

At the same time, it did not affect his continued work in the institute after the fall of Lou Wei's faction.

The 14th Corps is a huge corps.

A corps that controls a star field.

The relationship within the entire corps is complicated.

After the corps was rebuilt, more than ten years have passed, a full generation.

It is impossible to completely prohibit the interaction between people in the completely neutral department of the Psychic Research Institute and people from other factions.

Of course, the participation of the lower-level people belongs to the participation of the lower-level people, and the rules still absolutely prohibit the use of the resources of the institute.

And He Gu's current behavior is just to kindly help a lost soldier to the lecture hall to listen to a report meeting.

If you really investigate, he has excuses and reasons.

Anyway, his purpose does not involve any faction, he just wants Chen Ming to work in the Psychic Research Institute.

No matter how much punishment there is, it will only be a salary deduction.

But for psychics, salary deductions are nothing.

That's why He Gu made such a choice.

Bring Chen Ming here.

The report meeting is still going on.

The admiral above continued to speak, and his speech became more and more in-depth and complicated.

But Chen Ming had studied with Baiquan for a long time, and he could understand some professional terms.

So after listening to the following words, Chen Ming found that there was still a chance for things to turn around.

Because the Corps meant to use the Beiniu star field as a pilot for this management regulation, and then gradually expand its application.

Just like what He Gu said at the beginning.

These management regulations are not aimed at anyone, but a preventive measure.

But the Corps meant that if a few words can be changed to solve the possible problems in Baiquan, why not do it?

Although it is reasonable to let small places test the rationality of the regulations first, and Beiniu should not be allowed to start first.

But special situations should be dealt with in special ways.

After all, this conference was held because of Beiniu, so it must start with Beiniu.

And there are indeed special circumstances now.

Because Jialuo is the front line.

How can the front line be allowed to pilot for the rear?

So in general, the restrictions of these legions will gradually become apparent after the fleets that go out of the legion control Beinu.

It will not have much impact on Baiquan for the time being.

Baiquan is now the vanguard of the war between the 14th Legion and the Mechanical Clan, and it is impossible for Baiquan to be really disappointed.

The reconnaissance before the war and the confrontation in the early stage of the war all rely on the branch of Jialuo as a fulcrum.

Therefore, at least on the surface, the consensus of all people in the legion is to support Baiquan, and all the internal opposition voices have been suppressed.

However, Chen Ming also believes that there will always be people who are hostile to Baiquan and him and do something.

And if the pilot effect of this management regulation is good, it will be used in Jialuo sooner or later.

He has to ask Baiquan.

The report meeting will end soon.

Chen Ming got up and followed He Gu.

He Gu took Chen Ming away as usual without saying anything.

Anyway, he brought the person here, and what he had to do was over.

Chen Ming and Baiquan are both smart people, and they will soon understand his intention to do so, and there is no need to say more.

Soon, He Gu took Chen Ming to a parking lot near the building where the conference was held.

Of course, it is called a parking lot, but it can actually park shuttles.

He Gu took Chen Ming to a shuttle, opened the hatch and motioned Chen Ming to get on.

The shuttle was bright white in color, with a streamlined appearance, and there were decorative tail wings extending on both sides. The style was very good.

"Is this your shuttle?"

"No, it's from the institute."

He Gu patted the outer shell of the shuttle and said, "It's really beautiful."

Chen Ming looked at the shuttle twice before walking in.

He Gu followed closely and got into the cab, drove the shuttle, and sent Chen Ming all the way out of the city.

To a military base some distance away from the city.

Landed inside the military base.

As the hatch of the shuttle opened, Chen Ming saw Bai Quan waiting at the door.

He Gu, who was in the cockpit, turned to Chen Ming and said, "We're here, get off the boat. I'll have to prepare a new instrument for you to detect psychic properties. We'll contact you later."

"By the way, I've also sent you the address of the Psychic Research Institute. Come visit us when you have time."

Chen Ming waved to He Gu.

He got off the shuttle.

The shuttle turned around and disappeared into the military base.

And Chen Ming walked up to Bai Quan and said, "Long time no see."

"It's been a while."

Bai Quan looked at Chen Ming for a while and said, "Let's go."

Chen Ming followed him and habitually asked, "Where are we going?"

"The teaching park here. I'm here to learn the key points of commanding the mechanical race."

"There is such a place in the military base, and you want to learn it?"

"Of course there is such a place. Not everything is taught in the school. People who come out of the school come here to learn further before going to the battlefield."

"As for me, I am used to fighting Yuhui before. I have to learn some techniques to fight the mechanical race here, and change my previous habit of fighting Yuhui."

Bai Quan quickly took Chen Ming to the teaching park.

Chen Ming was quite sharp and saw that there were indeed many young faces in the classroom in the distance, and there were also some older people who were listening to the lectures of officers younger than them.

However, the two did not stay here for long, but went all the way to the dormitory building and entered Bai Quan's dormitory.

After the dormitory door was closed, Bai Quan said: "Okay, now we can talk about what was said in the meeting. I guess it should be related to the branch."

"Really."
