In addition to the reform of the military system, the protagonist is also determined to reform the political system.
The political system includes the system of power agencies and the system of administrative agencies.
When the protagonist participated in the Ancient Gods Inheritance Conference, he noticed that each civilized ant clan has its own power structure and its own characteristics. For example, the leaf-cutter ant country has a queen ant conference and a female ant conference. As the two highest authorities, they are similar to certain human beings. the House of Lords and the House of Commons in some countries. Bullet ants have only one authority, the Assembly of Female Ants.
The uncivilized ant tribe also has its own power structure, such as the Council of Elders in the Red Fire Ant Kingdom, and the King's Council in the Old Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
Regardless of the fact that the political system of some of the ant clans is still very primitive, the power agencies and administrative agencies actually overlap, and many job positions are uncertain. It is a bit like ancient Greece, where a member of the Senate can be sent out to work part-time.
But at any rate, their political system does exist and is relatively complete.
On the contrary, the Divine Envoy King's Legion, although more technologically advanced, has never established a scientific and systematic political system. Currently, only the military system of the Divine Envoy King Legion is relatively scientific and rigorous.
The current power structure of the Divine Envoy King Legion is that the protagonist, as the Divine Envoy King, has monopoly power, but its power tentacles are difficult to reach the grassroots of the affiliated ant tribe, and must be transferred through the high-level of the affiliated ant tribe.
Although there is a Great King's Council under the Divine Envoy King, this organization has no real power at all, and almost no meetings have been held. The members of the Great King's Council seem to have obtained a false title of honor.
Moreover, the members of the King's Council are mainly military commanders of various legions, with very few representatives from administration, industry, scientific research and other industries.
In the ant world where wars are frequent, you may not think there is any problem with such a power structure dominated by the military. But the protagonist has a vision beyond this world, and knows that the fundamental reason for the strength of the God's Envoy King's army is not the brave and capable warriors of the God's Envoy King, but technology and ideas!
If the composition of the power structure of the Divine Envoy King's Legion cannot reflect the concept of supporting industry and technology, then how can we expect internal ants to flock to these key industries?
Anyway, in the Legion of the Divine Envoy King, every male ant is proud to be the commander of the Legion. This is one of the reasons why the protagonist hopes to support the Divine Soldier Ants and Divine Worker Ants. At least they are willing to serve in non-military fields obediently.
In addition to the immaturity of the power structure and the heavy burdens placed on the shoulders of the protagonist, the administrative system of the God Envoy King Legion is even more primitive, basically following the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom:
In each deputy nest, the oldest male ant is responsible for administrative affairs, and other male ants assist. There is no specialized agency to coordinate the affairs of the main nest such as diplomacy, scientific research, and industry. The protagonist often has to do it himself, or temporarily assign some ants to take charge.
The protagonist realizes that the primitiveness of the political system has restricted the development of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, and it is time for reform.
Just in time to take advantage of this military victory over the Red Fire Ant Nation, the haze of defeat from the homeland was swept away. The God Envoy King gained extremely high prestige among the younger generation of ants. At the same time, the country gained a favorable external environment and its economic level was also booming. An excellent opportunity to carry out a drastic change.
The protagonist has been conceived for a long time. The construction of the political system is much more complicated than the military system, and the balance of interests in all aspects must be taken into consideration.
So it was not until the end of June that he finally drew up the blueprint after thinking hard for a long time.
In the future, the power structure of the Divine Envoy King Legion will be the highest authority of the Divine Envoy King. This is undisputed and cannot be changed. This time, it will be clearly determined in the form of articles.
Under the God-envoy King, a joint assembly of all ethnic groups was established as an auxiliary authority. This joint conference is mainly used to discuss and negotiate major proposals submitted by various ant tribes, and to assist the King of Gods in governing the country. However, it also serves as a united front function, allowing all ant tribes under the King of Gods’ legions to participate in the highest level. A sense of honor in decision-making and a sense of identity.
The members of the joint assembly of various ethnic groups are called ant representatives. There are 100 representative seats, including 80 seats for big-headed ants, 6 seats for pavement ants, 4 seats for hunter ants, 4 seats for leaf-cutting ants, and 4 seats for red forest ants. There are 3 seats for the ants, 2 seats for the abdominal ants, and 1 seat for the Japanese black brown ants.
The number of seats in the meeting is fixed, and is not divided based on the proportion of the ant population of each ant clan, but based on the contribution of the ant clan to the Divine Envoy King's legion! If the number of seats needs to be changed, only the Divine Envoy King can propose and decide. The joint meeting itself does not have the right to propose or decide, and can only participate in discussions.
If new ants join the Angel King's army in the future, they will not occupy the existing seats, but will add a number of seats according to the situation.
Of the 80 seats for the Big-headed Ant clan, the protagonist plans to allocate 20 seats to military commanders, 30 seats to administrative chiefs, 15 seats to the industrial and technological sectors, 5 seats to the agricultural sector, and 10 seats to other sectors.
The industry allocation ratio of seats reflects the protagonist's intention to weaken the presence of the military in power agencies and enhance the status of the administrative, industrial, and scientific research industries.
If divided by class, the protagonist intends to give 40 seats to the male ants, 5 seats to the great worker ants, 20 seats to the magic worker ants, and 15 seats to the magic soldier ants.
This kind of seat allocation is conducive to fostering a class of big worker ants, divine worker ants, and divine soldier ants that are obedient to them to check and balance the male ant class. It also allows the male ants to have a numerical advantage over other classes in an apparent way, so as not to cause conflict.
In addition to the joint meeting of all tribes, each ant tribe will also build an ant tribe conference within each ant tribe, which also has 100 seats. Each ant tribe will select representatives for the meeting based on their seniority. There are no restrictions on whether the representatives are male ants, female ants, or other classes.
The ant clan conferences of each clan mainly discuss and approve the daily affairs within the clan, but important matters must be reported to the joint conference of all clans for approval.
This is an organization that is more symbolic than practical. Its purpose is to allow those ant elites who are unable to become representatives of the joint conference of all ethnic groups, but who have a certain influence within their own ethnic groups, to have an organization and a sense of belonging and honor.
Moreover, through the three-level power structure of the God Envoy King - the United Conference of All Races - the Ant Tribe Conference, the protagonist has legitimately become the highest authority of any ant clan.
The God Envoy King also gained power. Not only could he directly control the joint conference of all races, but he could also directly intervene in the ant clan conference below to achieve vertical management.
In the past, other ant clans only obeyed the big-headed ant clan, and the big-headed ant clan obeyed the Divine Envoy King. The Divine Envoy King himself could not directly control the rule of the subordinate ant clans.
Through such a reform of the power system, the protagonist finally fully grasped the highest authority within the Divine Envoy King's legion, and became the common supreme leader of the eight ant tribes.
