Chapter 1010: Expansion of the Army and Resumption of Power(2/2)

"I have no objection." After saying that, Congerard's Great Sage sat down.

The Holy Soul Wizards also nodded slightly.

Renn smiled and announced: "Batura, you and the Ministry of Military Affairs take the lead in taking charge of the reorganization and expansion of the Imperial Defense Forces. You and the Ministry of Military Affairs take the lead in taking charge of the plan and budget within a month. Oh, by the way, the Ministry of Military Affairs will follow the reform and will be renamed "Minister of National Defense" in the future, and your position will be changed to "Minister of National Defense."

"As for your order, your majesty." Batula stood up and took the order.

"Fasding." Renn called his name again.

"His Majesty."

A serious and ordinary-looking middle-aged man stood up to respond. He was Fasting, Minister of Industry, and one of the vice presidents of the Mechanical Union.

Rennes ordered: "I will give you a list later. You and the Ministry of Industry are responsible for purchasing materials for Star Destroyers. Choose a few suitable locations in the empire, expand several shipbuilding factories, formulate construction plans, and leave them to me for review."

"Yes, your majesty." A trace of excitement flashed in Fasdin's eyes.

Renn's eyes swept across the Holy Soul Wizards and nobles, and suddenly said: "In the empire, all troops are under the leadership of the Ministry of National Defense, and the emperor is the supreme commander of the army."

Hearing this, many people were shocked and realized what the emperor was going to say.

Sure enough, Renn said in a deep voice: "The current situation of the empire and future military expansion plans, there should be no more private armed forces in the territory. Considering the legacy of history, I allow you to retain some extraordinary legions, but there must be restrictions."

The Duke of Silver Star and the Queen of Storm both changed their faces.

Renn looked at them indifferently and said, "The Duke can have a private army of no more than three thousand people, one thousand marquises, five hundred earls, and no more than one hundred viscounts and barons. The provincial governors and mayors appointed by the Empire, and the chief executives at all levels, are not allowed to raise private army. The existing extraordinary army is limited to you to dismiss within one month."

"His Majesty……"

Someone immediately said in surprise: "Who will protect us?"

Renn looked at the questioning governor and replied slowly: "Your safety is the responsibility of the local security bureau. Don't be afraid of insufficient staff. I am going to separate the security bureau from the Ministry of the Interior, establish a security department, and expand the recruitment of personnel."

The Queen of Storm shook her head and said, "The Principality of Hohaben cannot be without an army."

"The vassal state is not restricted," said Ren.

Hearing this sentence, Queen Storm and Emilys breathed a sigh of relief, and the Lord of Hastav City was relieved.

The faces of Congerard's Great Sage and Duke of Silver Star were not good-looking.

The Golem Legion and the Silver Knights both have more than three thousand people.

Some imperial congressmen who were born from nobles also exceeded the number of people. They opened their mouths and wanted to raise objections, but they immediately became timid at the emperor's gaze.

Here, Batula stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will dismiss most of the steel knights within three days, and only one thousand people will be retained to protect the family territory."

"Very good, the Marquis is intent." Renne admired it very much.

With Batula taking the lead, other nobles and governors dared not disobey and stood up to express their willingness to dismiss the excess private army.

"Okay." Duke of Silver Star was under pressure, "There are only three thousand people. Since it is Rennes' request, I accept it."

The Great Sage also responded: "I will cut off half of the Golem Legion."

Seeing that the two Holy Soul Wizards were very sensible, Renn smiled with satisfaction on his face, then stretched out his third finger and said, "Now, let's talk about the third thing."

"The Empire will establish three institutions, one of which is the Ministry of Public Security I just mentioned, which is responsible for maintaining the security order of cities, towns, villages and all administrative areas within the Empire, combating crime, eliminating demons, managing traffic and border access, etc.."

"The second is the Imperial Intelligence Agency. This department is responsible for investigating the intelligence of all enemies within and outside the empire, providing assistance to the Ministry of Security, and has a certain degree of law enforcement power, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor himself, that is, me."

“The third and most important institution.”
