October 25th, 5591 - Hosbury House, Grand Duchy of Northriding.
On this day, October 25th, 5591, a tall figure makes her appearance in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion at Hosbury House, where the Prime Minister is currently sojourns for his vacations. Accompanied by an imposing yet carefully diminished retinue of 2 Raby-Porden Cullinan used by the Imperial Security Service, which were behind and in front of the "Phantom" model of the same company. Inside of the latter was the Chief of the Defence Staff, who was coming up to the Prime Minister to explain some preliminary details about the military's audit on itself.
...Finding all documents which were relevent which a little...complicated, so to speak...which revealed another problem, paperwork, or, more precisely, the lack of digitalisation of the Luthorian administration. It was impossible for a nation of over 150 millions inhabitants, who call herself the "Leader" of the Free World, to not even have a decently digitalised administrative system, she thought to herself.
Despite her annoyance at countless hours made searching for the right documents and right informations to conduct this audit, she would say her mind about the digitalisation issue to the Prime Minister, after all, the Luthorian Air Force already started its own digitalisation effort a little time ago, with the Chief of the Air Force appointed a new " Chief Air [Force] Digitalisation Program Task Force" or CADT, tasked with beginning to take over the results of the audit to the Air Force's digital services...or worse, create one.
The thing is, everyone has its own portal where to stock important information, yet crucially, or dumbfully, the usage of such portals, normally necessary to ease the burden of the bureaucrats was low, pitifully low.
No wonder why Luthorian bureaucrats were less productive than other nations'.
She was soon thrown out of her thoughts by the convoy's arrival at Hosbury House, God, that trip must have taken at least 2 hours, no wonder the Prime Minister loved this residence, so nice, so peaceful, so isolated from the rest of the nation, especially...Fort William. Something she would have loved being like the Royal...Imperial Family or the Prime Ministers or even the nobility, having some dual residence out from the crowded cities, where she could relax, take care of herself, her family and honestly, take a long deserved break from the Capital or the Citadel.
Accompanied by a aide to the Prime Minister's Office in the mansion, she could look amazed at all the art present in the residence, looking them with great interest, she was thrown back from her thoughts yet again by the Prime Minister's voice. She hadn't even realised that she had entered his Office.
"General. What owe me the pleasure of seeing you today?", the Prime Minister asked interrogatively.
"Prime Minister. I've come to brief you beforehand before the comprehensive reports on the military's strength goes public, as you have ordered.", the Chief of the Defence Staff took a professional attitude in front of her technically boss.
"Go ahead, take a sit.", he nodded.
"One thing that we've seen and has been reported in all three branches of the military was the matter of the digitalisation of much of the archives.", she explained, taking a seat in front of the 400-year old desk that was once offered by the Hutorians.
"Hm", he simply nodded, seemingly concentrated upon today's discussion, but also having his mind focused around something else.
"Mr. Prime Minister, while the results of the whole inquiry upon the Armed Forces' capabilities will come tomorrow, I must ask you to begin a program for digitalising the Luthorian administration at once."
"Now the military is requiring things?", the man spoke up, faking an interrogative tone.
"No-not at all, Prime Minister, but, as I've stated, the military and I think the whole administration is having trouble finding most documents of value due to the lack of digitalisation of our administrative system, I'm simply recommending to you, Mr. Prime Minister, to begin a lengthy process aimed at digitalising our administration, in order to create a more efficient and competent one.", she stated, taking a more defensive approach to the Prime Minister's accusations of "meddling".
"Sure. If the administration can become more efficient in that way, I will surely engage the process for digitalising the administration, I could also expand that process to the economy."
"Thank you, sir."
"So, on the military, which I suggest was the reason why you came here in the first place, didn't you?"
"Hm. Yes."
Taking out her notes, she begun to explain to the Luthorian Prime Minister the current capabilities of the Luthorian Land, Sea and Air Forces, alongside some notes for the Marines and the Coast Guard and the Imperial Guard, she briefed the old man, this symbol of Luthorian politics, the Lord Southpton, for a whole hour before finishing. When she finished, the Prime Minister thanked her and accompanied her to the gate of his countryside residence.
After she had left, she could only wonder, who is this man?
