Chen An was full of energy after the rest, but the reports submitted by the various departments below made him frown frequently.
"Do I need to see so much? How many people are there in the Secretariat now?"
More than 400 people
"It's too little. Keep expanding."
He studied it for a while and prepared to perfect the secretariat.
"Appoint two secretaries-general, Chu Xiao and Zhu Die. They can take turns working."
"Appoint some deputy secretaries-general, tentatively eight in total, to assist the secretary-general in his work, also on a shift basis. Give me some candidates from among the eight trains."
"Then set up one hundred general secretaries to connect with various departments and form a radial network to handle daily affairs."
"Under the secretaries, we will have at least three thousand staff members of various ranks, called deacons. There are five star ratings, and after reaching the maximum star rating, there's a chance to be promoted to secretary."
The Secretariat has always been aloof. If too many deacons are appointed, the weight of each department may be reduced.
"I didn't say how high a status the deacon should be. He's just an ordinary official. According to the previous hierarchy, the Secretary-General is slightly higher than the Minister, the Deputy Secretary-General is between the Deputy Minister and the Minister, and the ordinary Secretary is equivalent to the senior officials of various departments, and so on."
"But this correspondence isn't exact. It also depends on the importance of the department. For example, the military department is the most important, and the minister's status is definitely no less important than the secretary-general. This is very flexible and doesn't need to be clearly marked. Just let the people below understand it."
Not long after, Fuyao gave out a list of names with the candidates she had chosen.
"Julie? Can she be deputy secretary-general?"
Julie helps her mother on the Ziyan Train, managing half of it, and has extensive experience. The only question is whether Lin Xia is willing to let her go.
"Why not? Send her the notice and let Julie take charge."
…
Lin Xia was also busy on the Zi Yan train.
She had just sent out the pioneering group on her own train, which would fight alongside the main train army and carry out the pioneering mission.
"Lily, has the problem with the guild been resolved?"
Julie stretched out her furry claws and swiped across the screen, pulling up relevant information.
"There was a dispute when purchasing weapons, which almost developed into a brawl. Both parties have been punished and admitted their mistakes."
Lin Xia nodded: "That's good, you have a clearer mind than me. I will mention it to Chen An later and ask you to be the train conductor. I'll retreat behind the scenes!"
Julie stuck out her tongue and hugged Lin Xia's arm coquettishly.
"I'm still too young to be a train conductor."
"Three hundred years old is still young?"
"I can't control those people."
"With Chen An here, there's no need for you to suppress anyone."
Just as he was saying this, the watch sent a message, which was a notification from Fuyao.
After reading it, Lin Xia looked strange.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Your brother asked you to go to the main column as deputy secretary-general. But everyone knows that several of the people there have close ties with your brother..."
Julie blushed and asked, "Should I go?"
"This is a notification, not an inquiry. Go ahead!"
Julie immediately went to pack up, passed the message to the main train through the Star Tower, and went to the front of the train to meet Chen An.
This was the first time the two met in such an occasion, and Julie felt a little restrained.
"Boss, I..."
"Call me brother, just like before."
Although he didn't have a very deep impression of Julie, Chen An had always paid attention to her. After all, he also had a sister on Earth that he could not forget.
Chen An had thought countless times that if he could really return to Earth, with his current power and ability, he would definitely be able to give her everything she wanted.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"come over!"
Chen An reached out and touched her head with the care of a family member, without any other meaning.
"Your isomer is a bit strange."
Others changed either as a whole or in parts, but Julie changed in scattered ways.
Its hands turned into animal claws, its hair turned golden, and there were folded wings on its back that seemed unable to unfold.
Julie shyly asked, "What do I need to do?"
"Go to the secretariat and help me. Zhu Die will... no, Chu Xiao will teach you. Fuyao, don't let Zhu Die teach her, or she might become a bad person."
[Okay, the notification has been sent to Chu Xiao]
Afterwards, Chen An informed Julie of the functions of the secretariat.
She understood immediately and agreed.
"Brother, I have a question. The Secretariat only manages the main list, but also the secondary list?"
This question was asked to Chen An.
Because the responsibilities and rights in this regard were vague and not clearly defined before.
After some thought, Chen An said, "Since each department has a certain degree of control over the deputy column department, the secretariat must also have some. You will be responsible for the deputy column affairs, and I will select two deputy secretaries-general to work with you."
"Yeah, I understand."
It is comfortable to talk to smart people. They will understand what you say without any further explanation.
Before Julie left, Chen An said, "Since I'm your brother, you can treat this place as your home and come anytime."
"Yeah, thank you, brother!"
During the rest of the day, Chen An completed the reorganization of the secretariat into a more complete core department.
He lay in the driver's seat, feeling a lot more relaxed than before.
"There's a mess after the party. Have you cleaned it up?"
Cleaning tasks are being assigned to passengers in various locations, and most of them have been completed.
"Well, let the robots finish the job. Any news from the front?"
[The armies have returned to the billion-kilometer point and are advancing. There are no accidents so far.]
Suddenly thinking of a key question, Chen An asked: "How many people have been lost so far?"
[7.4 million people died, 5.6 million of them were resurrected, and the rest did not meet the conditions for resurrection and died completely]
"So, 1.8 million people died. Were they mostly soldiers or ordinary passengers?"
[40% military personnel, 60% ordinary passengers]
"Even with the converters, so many people died. I wonder how many more people would die on those trains without the ability to resurrect."
Those who died here were not low-level passengers, but masters who could join the pioneering group and carry out guild missions.
In fact, in Chen An's opinion, the more than 7 million has been completely lost.
Because those who are resurrected do not have normal combat power, it is unpredictable whether they will have the opportunity to be strengthened in the future.
"If other trains encounter similar situations, it means there's more than one world like this. Forget it, let's just take care of ourselves."
…
September 23, 305th year of the Recovery Calendar.
Three months after the reopening, the army, with high morale, arrived at 2 billion kilometers and was almost invincible.
However, we encountered trouble on this day. There was a large planetary isomer at a position of 2 billion kilometers.
"Can you handle it?" Chen An asked.
[Forty pioneer groups are besieging us. We are currently in a stalemate, and our army is at a disadvantage.]
[Special forces such as Doris and Oniki have not yet taken action, and may take action in advance]
[Based on deduction, given the known information, we will kill it after the loss exceeds 30,000]
Chen An said: "Let them do it themselves. If they succeed, they will be considered to have truly grown up. I'm going to sleep."
Chen An originally wanted to control his clone to go to the front line, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it because his clone would affect the decision of the front-line commander.
