Chapitre 165: Senatorum Imperialis (1)
Basically, the governing structure of the Baator is as follows. The head of state is the Emperor, who has absolute rule over the nation, of course, me.
Then there are Elders of the Baator, currently only three of them.
Beneath them is an organization called Senatorum Imperialis. It consisted of the highest-ranked people in the Baator; they decide ordinary state matters, basically some equivalent of a very small parliament, much closer to Council in nature.
Currently was the first meeting of the Senatorum Imperialis, which consisted of Hela, was appointed as Lord Marshall Militant of Imperialis Militarum, Cain Valefor the Grandmaster of Execution Temple, Grayfia Lucifuge who was High Chancellor of the Baator, Diablo Noir newly appointed Captain-General of Adeptus Custodes, that didn't even exist, Tiamat who was appointed as Commisar-General of the Commissariat, Mephisto Pheles Magister of the Arcane and Magic Research, Archduke Agares Magister of the Domestic Affairs and Territorial Management, and my father-in-law was named as the Lord High Admiral of the Voidfleets.
This meeting was not in total attendance as some posts were not occupied due to a lack of suitable people for them. So, Elder temporarily took their duties.
Zekram was temporal Magister of Foreign Affairs, and Azrael was named temporal Magister of Intelligence Department. The Magisterium of Arcanotech and Development was temporarily entrusted to Mephisto Pheles as the nature of these two Magisteriums was close in nature.
"Now that everyone is in attendance, we can start the first meeting of the Senatorum Imperialis."
Said Grayfia, as my lovely wife was the new High Chancellor of the Baator, something akin to a prime minister. Her role was basically managing logistics between various Magisteriums and Military Branches, and many other things. She also acted as the chairman for the Senatorum Imperialis.
"The first topic on the hand is the creation of Imperialis Militarum. Lord Marshall Militant Hela Odinsdottir will now speak."
Stated Grayfia in a formal voice.
"The process of the creation of Imperialis Militarum. All Noble Houses have surrendered control over their Legions to the Imperialis Militarum, leaving them with only maximally one Legion of hundred thousand soldiers as personal Household Guards. Within the next one month, unification shall be complete, and we will have a complete Chief of Staff. I have also named three Lord Generals that would be overseeing the creation of the Imperialis Militarum."
One of the reasons why the devil's government wasn't really working was that every House possessed its own army, which was the root of the problem. If the Nobles maintained their own troops, it created less dependence on the nation, and significantly boosted their own power, and even increased the possibility of the rebellion or something similar. Ironically, the majority of those soldiers, almost all of them, were not even loyal to their Houses; they were loyal only for money.
Now that Imperialis Militarum was created, I ordered Hela and several trusted generals to train a strong and fanatically loyal army. While Noble Houses are permitted to the main army of only one Legion, which numbered around 100,000 soldiers, of course, that didn't include Mechs or special units. This would also force nobles to train their soldiers, as they were really prideful and wouldn't accept that commoners of Imperialis Militarum are stronger than their Household Guards.
Of course, in times of war, even Household Guards would be required to participate.
"Thank you for your report, Lord Marshall Militant Hela. The next one to speak is Magister of Domestic Affairs and Territorial Development, Lord Archduke Agares."
I found it funny seeing so formally speaking with Hela when we had a threesome started by girl-on-girl play just yesterday.
"Thank you, High Chancellor Lucifuge. The Magisterium of Domestic Affairs and Territorial Development started implementing the TML, Territorial Management Level standards across all territories in the Underworld, with the help of the Commissariat. Several Heads of Houses have been severely punished, and around 500 people with peerage have been arrested or sentenced to death, while most of them are Elders of Noble Houses. I predict that within ten years, we will rebuild everything, and within another 25, TML will need to be increased once more due to progress of every territory."
Said Archduke Agares as I awaited something like this. It wasn't surprising that the Commissariat arrested so many nobles, and many of them were even sentenced to death. This was a time when all unwanted elements needed to be purged from the Empire I am building.
And when I get complete control over the Underworld's Will, then my Empire will be literary immune to things like corruption or misuse of power as the World's Will see everyone and everything.
The Commissariat was Enforces and Military Police. Their role was to root up any corruption and enforce Laws. Also, they were kind of political officers in the army whose duty was to prevent any misuse of power, and they oversaw practically everything.
"How is the progress of rebuilding the Capital?"
I asked Archduke Agares as it was his responsibility as Magister of Domestic Affairs and Territorial Development.
"It is going very fast with the help of Mechs; the works are scheduled to be completed within the next three months."
Answered Archduke Agares.
"That is good; also, we will rename the capital upon finishing the reconstruction. Its new name shall be Anor Londo."
I said as I could not wait to see the newly reconstructed city, and especially the Imperia Palace of Anor Londo. The entire city would be rebuilt in majestic gothic architecture, which would give it a new charming and bit creepy atmosphere, really suiting the Baator.
The city needed to be expanded, practically majority of the buildings required to be redesigned, and many more needed to be added, as Lucifaad. At the same time, the devil species' capital was relatively small due to policies of previous Satans for residency of the city.
Practically only people with lineages of Nobility could live in the city, so the population was relatively small—something I planned to change and reward settlement pass for loyal followers of my House.
