Chapter 53, Second Governor
Gu Hang smiled.
He stepped forward and gave Lambert a big hug: "I want to believe you, welcome ain, young comrade." ”
Lambert's statement was very sincere, but Gu Hang didn't fully believe it.
It's just that this guy brought a group of people, and if he asked him to disarm, he would disarm, and if he asked him to work, he would do it, so what else is there to worry about?
Gu Hang doesn't expect anything from them, and second, he won't use them to do important work, so he will clean up the battlefield and be a porter, who will do it? Use it and you're done.
As for trust, it is not expressed in words.
A little longer, a little bit more going through things, he always showed what he really was.
Moreover, this guy brought Gu Hang an even bigger surprise.
He was followed by more than 2,000 displaced people, in addition to 500 armed soldiers.
According to Lambert, he was recruited from outside the city when he set out.
He did this when he heard that a merchant named Denison Henry had recruited outcasts for the Governor. Thinking about it, the Governor's manpower gap here was quite large, so he did the same when he set out.
Not only that, but he also arranged for people to carry out long-term migration propaganda outside Fuxing City. Preaching that the governor will have a good job, a good salary, and will be able to eat, clothe, and not starve to death.
Roar, the young man is very good.
Gu Hang's heart was happy.
For this reason, he was embarrassed to spray even when he called old Hodgson.
But it's true that there is nothing to spray.
The attack really has nothing to do with them, at least for now. It was the cultists who did it, and the powerful storm magic made this clear.
Moreover, before the attack, it was Hodgson who gave him a warning in advance.
At the moment, the elder Hodgson also said that they have made further progress in the investigation of cults. They captured two mid-level missionaries of the original Raging Cult and learned that the cult was indeed secretly ramping up its operations in Fuxing City, and that there might be a plan underway. If you continue with this line, there should be more to gain.
In addition to Gu Hang's use to deal with the cult issues of the alliance government, Hodgson's performance in other aspects also made Gu Hang more satisfied.
Sending a grandson over, saying that it was to work for him, or to be a hostage, was itself a manifestation of attitude. In fact, he also made his attitude very clear. Five hundred soldiers, two thousand outcasts, may not be nothing; Hodgson had vaguely promised that in Fuxing City, he would act according to Gu Hang's instructions and cooperate with the Governor.
But Hodgson also said that he needed the Governor to understand his difficulties. He is the president of parliament, but not a man. Direct provision of resources, promotion of a certain law, replacement of a certain parliamentarian, mass mobilization of the military...... Ultimately, these will need to be discussed and resolved by the entire parliament.
Gu Hang didn't do much persecution in this matter.
It's useless to force it.
At the moment, Hodgson is probably on his side, at least according to his attitude. It doesn't make much sense to force him. On the contrary, Gu Hang also needs Hodgson to help him force those councilors.
This time, Gu Hang chatted with Hodgson for a long time.
From what he needs Hodgson to do, what support to provide, how to advance Gu Hang's will step by step, and what kind of situation the revival city has reached, Gu Hang will consider re-entering the city; It even touched on some of the policies and reforms he would implement after he joined the alliance and really took over the governorship, and how to ensure that the entire planet could pay taxes in two years and ensure that the planet continued to develop......
The conversation is not in-depth, and most of the places are just a taste. After all, Gu Hang still didn't fully trust the council leader who had stated that he wanted to stand by him. But being able to talk about these topics and talk so widely, Gu Hang can be regarded as accepting the president of the council to a certain extent.
As for the moment, Gu Hang does not plan to visit Fuxing City in the near future for the time being.
The problem of the cult has not been solved, and his safety is not guaranteed when he goes to Fuxing City; Power is not fully centralized, and it is difficult to use its hands and feet when you go; His own strength is not enough, and he can't do it when he arrives in Fuxing City......
But that time won't be too far off.
……
Fuxing City, Inner City, somewhere private club.
Three big names who are well-known in the entire league are gathering here.
All three of them are members of the Alliance, and each of them has a large property in Fuxing City.
However, their faces were very gloomy.
Bradford began, "Everyone has listened to the recording." Don't stop talking, talk about ideas. ”
He is a business tycoon in Fuxing City, and he does not have many industries, but he has strong business channels in the south, east and west. There are many things produced by Fuxing City, and they can only be sold through his channels; What Fuxing City does not produce needs to be bought through his channels.
In Fuxing City, a place with a commercial hub as its core, his status can be imagined.
After Bradford finished speaking, the old man sitting next to him shook his head and said, "I still can't understand why old Hodgson did this?" Isn't he afraid of repeating the situation of the second governor? ”
This man's name is Norris, and his family is an industrial tycoon in Fuxing City. Its companies include food factories, chemical plants, textile factories and other important categories, and are also involved in the medical industry. He and Wohan were important allies, and the collapse of the industry after Wohan's death had no small impact on him.
When he mentioned 'the situation of the second governor', the faces of the other two became even more gloomy.
They all recalled that terrible time.
Twelve years ago, the second Governor arrived on the Furious Star on a frigate. At that time, the alliance was still very strong, although the structure was slightly loose, but this was in line with the reality of the angry owl, and the major forces would at least respond to the requirements of the alliance government.
This is the solid foundation laid by a generation of governors.
However, in just six years, this foundation almost collapsed.
When the governor landed and took control of the governor's authority, he did not take the path of the previous governor's recuperation and development. He believed that it was the kindness and weakness of the previous governors that led to the lack of tax revenue. The natives of the Raging Owl are disloyalists and need to be whipped with the strictest attitude to pay their taxes.
He sat in this position for six years, and the first two times he paid enough imperial taxes by looting and coercion. But his tyranny also caused a turmoil that swept the whole world.
The smoke of rebellion is everywhere, some forces break away from the alliance, some forces go against the sun, some forces resist violently, and some forces are tragically destroyed...... The entire planet has suffered a huge loss of population in six years. This loss ranged from a large amount of manpower being paid as imperial taxes, as well as a large number of people who died of turmoil and starvation and freezing due to lack of supplies......
The first Governor's seventeen years of recuperation on the Raging Star were all but destroyed. And the second generation of governors naturally couldn't support the third tax revenue, and died at the hands of the Imperial Ministry of Revenue.
Those six years are something that every Raging Owl doesn't want to live again.
Rich or poor.
The last of the three stood up.
He is a burly man who still wears a camouflage uniform when he hangs out with friends.
He was Mondoq, a Union general. In Fuxing City, the 10,000 soldiers, the more than 20 planes, and the 70 tanks were theoretically his subordinates.
"Everything has to get back on track, and Hodgson's mistakes have to be corrected."
"Parliamentary impeachment? I remember the next council was four days away, but we weren't going to make it. Old Hodgson has been in business for so many years and has a lot of supporters, it takes a lot of time for us to connect in tandem......"
"Nope." Mondoch vetoed the claim, "That's too slow, we need a quicker approach." ”
The other two were stunned.
They saw Mondalk's slightly hideous expression.
