After Xia Xiu issued the war mobilization order as the director, Mole and Qingniu each bowed respectfully, and then began to act according to his mobilization content.

The war mobilization content of the Administration is to summon various elite units under the Administration, which include not only experienced conventional combat units, but also special operations teams specially trained for special situations, as well as newly formed mechanized units.

As a commander, these troops are required to conduct centralized training and equipment inspections to ensure that they can exert their most efficient combat capabilities in wartime.

During this mobilization, the director specifically pointed out that all troops will obey the orders of deputy commander Tours during the operation.

As the figures of Special Operators Mole and Qingniu gradually moved away, Xia Xiu looked sideways.

Next to her, Chief of Intelligence Pansy Jane walked slowly over. She was dressed smartly and had a beautiful face with a hint of indifference. The tear mole under her eyes added to her mysterious charm.

"Tell me, is there anything else that I need to handle?" Xia Xiu raised the silver cane and asked the intelligence chief.

Pansy Jane walked steadily, and the folder in her hand seemed to contain important information.

"She needs to report to you personally the information obtained by the Moon Rabbit." Her tone was as serious as ever, without any fluctuation in her eyes.

"Encrypted content?" Xia Xiu's eyes moved slightly.

The task force only takes orders from him and is only responsible to him. Therefore, even the chief of the Intelligence Section and special operators have the right to refuse to report on certain contents.

"Yes."

Jane nodded in affirmation, and then continued to reply:

"She has submitted the meeting address to the Administration through a specific channel. The order needs to be verified step by step through three interviews by Adam, the Secretariat and the Director."

"Okay, I get it."

Xia Xiu nodded to express understanding and said he would take the time to check.

However, he saw that Pansy Jane still hadn't left. After thinking about it briefly, he thought of the reason why she didn't leave.

"Do the operators within the administration have some opinions on the establishment of the secretariat?"

"Yes, but these opinions cannot hinder its establishment. At present, the structure of the secretariat has been fully established."

Pansy Jian first answered Xia Xiu's questions seriously, and then began to express her ambitions.

"The core goal of the Secretariat is to ensure that the administrative operations of the organization are efficient and orderly, and to support the organization in achieving its goals and objectives - the current position of the Secretary-General of the Secretariat is still vacant, which is not conducive to the Secretariat's administrative management of the Administration."

Since the establishment of the Secretariat to deprive [Adam] of some of his powers, some intelligence procedures and task operations have inevitably become cumbersome, and the efficiency of the Bureau has also been reduced, at least due to the "brainless" operations of the Bureau's operators.

There are fewer things, and there are more things that require your own brain and subjective judgment.

From an efficiency point of view, it is unwise to exclude [Adam], but from a macro architectural perspective, the establishment of the Secretariat has successfully taken back some of the powers of the Administration from the [Adam] global control mode, transforming comprehensive intelligent management into

Partial human intelligence management.

This is an artificial separation of powers and checks and balances - the relationship between Adam and the Secretariat is similar to that between the ruling faction and the government agency.

The think tank and the secretariat divide work, or the think tank and the secretariat work separately.

These are the issues that both parties within the Administration will need to face in the future.

In any case, these are all intentional actions by Xia Xiu as the upper-level architect and decision-maker. Decentralization and checks and balances are necessary. Even the Kingdom of Heaven in [Unknown Land] has some scruples about think tanks, and the internal core institutions also have some concerns.

restrictions.

The power struggle here is a small matter, but ensuring the maximum saving value of justice and the minimum error deviation value is the big deal.

"You want the position of Secretary-General." Xia Xiu glanced at Pansy Jian.

"Is there anyone else who could fill this position?"

Pansy Jane tilted her head, her originally cold eyes deliberately showing a hint of doubt.

"That's true." Xia Xiu couldn't help but laugh.

He asked Pansy Jane to build the secretariat. Now most of the staff in the secretariat of the administration can be said to be the team of the intelligence chief in front of him.

"I will let [Adam] make the announcement, and of course you will continue to be responsible for the concurrent role of director of intelligence."

Xia Xiu agreed to Pansy Jian's request, and then he said with deep meaning:

"The separation of the think tank and the secretariat can be regarded as a tradition continued by the Kingdom of Heaven, but you have to understand that the Administration and the Kingdom of Heaven are essentially different, and so are the differences between the agents of the Administration and the angels, so...,

Watch out for the gaze of chaos.”

"Of course I understand this." Her voice was serious and direct, without any fluctuation.

Afterwards, Pansy Jian briefly chatted with Xia Xiu for a few words, and then said goodbye to Xia Xiu due to her heavy workload.

Xia Xiu stood there, his eyes following Pansy Jian's back. Until her figure disappeared behind the office door, he couldn't help but whisper:

"Adam, what do you think about this?"

[I will serve as the think tank of the Management Bureau and be responsible for assisting the Secretariat in its operations——]

"Yeah."

Xia Xiu rubbed his chin, "I heard that some of the administration officers who have been recruited in remote areas have developed partial god worship and path dependence on you."

[The Secretariat has already carried out related topics of ideological education——]

[As for the path dependency issue...]

[Adam] did not elaborate further, but Xia Xiu naturally understood what the other party meant. The reason why he set up the secretariat was, on the one hand, due to his position as a decision-maker, and on the other hand, another person from heaven

A sign of factionalism.

The so-called path dependence means that once a certain social, economic or technological system begins to evolve along a specific development trajectory, it will be difficult for the system to break away from the existing pattern, even if a better choice emerges.

Once political systems and institutions are established, their basic structures and operating mechanisms will become path dependent, making it difficult to make fundamental changes. Institutional arrangements, legal frameworks and policy orientations often remain stable due to historical reasons, even if the system has obvious shortcomings.

Just as cultural and ideological path dependence limits the acceptance of new ideas and the promotion of innovation.

"Sure enough, no matter which think tank it is, it can't circumvent one of the main drawbacks of [Utopia]" Xia Xiu muttered to himself.

Think tanks, and even AI, are more likely to cause human path dependence than any other form of things in the past. As people increasingly rely on AI systems for decision support and automated tasks, they will inevitably gradually reduce their in-depth thinking about problems and become accustomed to

Accept the AI's suggestions.

This trend weakens human critical thinking abilities and leads to over-reliance on the thinking patterns and decision-making logic of specific AI systems. The general application of AI is bound to reshape social structures and behavioral patterns.

And if all human beings are managed by an all-wise think tank, then the discussion about free will cannot be ignored.

This is also a problem that the [Utopia] faction has to solve.

At present, the three major factions of the Kingdom of Heaven have made some moves before. [Hakobaism] has taken over the mastermind of the Yisi family at the hub of New Lisbon Island, which is the [Avalon System];

During the battle, a Starry Horror was successfully sunk into Terra. Currently, that area has been sealed off, and the [Central Containment Room] is experimenting with various god-killing weapons on the sleeping [Volcano King] day and night.

;Although the people of the [Utopia] faction have not taken any action, their people have already approached the management authority first, and the establishment of the secretariat has a lot to do with them.

Xia Xiu had known earlier that Pansy Jane had been in contact with the right-wing angels in the Kingdom of Heaven, such as the old angels who were from the imaginary faction and hated human intelligence.

He also acquiesced to contact with them as his "direct adjutant".

The political spectrum shown by Pansy Jane is obviously on the right side, on the side of wary think tanks. He has supported the other party to become the Secretary-General of the Administration and the Director-General of Intelligence, and has expressed many signals to the outside world.

Although he is labeled as the "son of Eden", this does not prevent him from making friends with the right-wing angels.

It can be said that Xia Xiu's ability to play both sides has been brought to its fullest extent.

He has some connections with all three major factions and knows how to assess the situation. He can surrender his own interests for the right, or he can become an ally with the ethics committee of the left.

"According to the message from the Bright Moon Rabbit, there are families in Whisper Square who have shown goodwill to the administration and are willing to obey all the arrangements of the administration..."

While Xia Xiu was thinking in his mind, he activated [Private Customization] to pull out from the void the [Pigeon Top Hat] he habitually wore when traveling.

After putting on the black top hat, he opened the address given by Moon Rabbit and took a look.

Then, he held the silver cane in his right hand and tapped it on the ground.

Dong dong dong——

An "8"-shaped Möbius strip appeared in the surrounding void, and then ripples appeared in the space, and his figure began to slowly disappear.

Hell's Kitchen·Ninth Avenue.

On an inconspicuous but not completely hidden street in Hell's Kitchen, there is a seemingly ordinary, newly renovated coffee shop called "Whisper of the Night."

This cafe is located near the intersection of Ninth Avenue and 51st Street, surrounded by many lively restaurants and bars.

Whisper of Night In terms of appearance, this cafe maintains an old-era charm, with red brick walls and warm yellow peripheral lights, creating a warm and welcoming feeling.

The store is not big, but it is cleverly designed. It uses large windows to bring in natural light, so that passers-by can vaguely see what is going on inside. However, because of the lighting and location of the interior, they cannot fully understand what is going on inside.

Most of the guests who come here are humans, however, in these daily scenes, there are also some special customers.

For example - "Shapeshifter/Monster".

They stand out from the crowd with their unique square jelly bodies. They look like slimes, but they are actually very different from them.

These shapeshifters can change forms according to their own wishes, but in this small cafe, they seem to prefer this slime form.

Of course, this is also related to the "Image Rights Protection Bill" introduced by the federal government and the New Alliance and the "Related "Anti-NTR Bill" against 156 Interracial Races" passed by the House of Representatives not long ago.

Shapeshifters who can shapeshift are the seventh on the list of the federal "Anti-NTR Act". The bill requires all shapeshifters to maintain slime form in the alien state and does not allow them to mimic the appearance of other federal citizens at will - regardless of

Beauty and ugliness, regardless of gender.
