Chapter 127, Ideals and Unforgiveness
Gu Hang's speech ended in the tsunami of 'Long live the governor'.
His last sentence is that it is okay to say that it is a pie, but to say it on such an occasion is a clear political commitment, and it really makes people feel that the future is promising.
The inhabitants of the outer city are looking forward to the Governor being able to fulfill all these promises he has made in the future. Thinking of the clerks who had been at the behest of Miss Osena and the propaganda of the Red Hats, they began to believe that none of this was too far away.
For the first time, the flame of hope was ignited in this land.
And even the residents of the inner city are inevitably touched.
If nothing else, at least the Governor's speech seemed to show that he was not a tyrannical man like the Second Governor, and that they did not seem to have to worry about the fact that people had to work in the dark in the factories in order to pay their taxes; I don't know how many people will be used as taxes, sent to the Empire's transport ships, and fly to a foreign land in the starry sky, never to return, and there is no news.
If that's the case, it doesn't seem impossible to support the new governor.
Well...... The bottom line of people is broken little by little.
Give a hard slap in the face, and then as long as there is a little sweetness, it seems that the situation is not unacceptable.
……
Is this public trial meeting, public execution, military parade and award ceremony a performance?
Of course it is.
But who can deny the importance of propaganda in politics.
In this matter, the people of the inner city were slapped by watching their old acquaintances being publicly executed, and then fed some dates to eat. The terrifying atmosphere created by being tossed by Lambert for several days should have eased a little after this incident.
The residents of the outer city simply ate a sweet date.
There was no need to slap them, they had been beaten too much in the past.
The morale of the populace began to really look forward to the things that the Governor had proclaimed, and to the good life that would come in the future, and even to work became more energetic.
It's just that propaganda is propaganda, but those things, to be implemented, are not just broadcast on loudspeakers.
Things have to be done one by one.
How to build a school? Where do the teachers come from? How are resources allocated? It's the same with hospitals.
The so-called welfare policy is linked to the forty-five ranks conceived by Gu Hang before, but what is the specific welfare situation and material ration of each rank? How long will Fuxing City's resources be enough to support it? Where do the insufficient resources come from? How to ensure that the follow-up production can keep up?
Not to mention, the output cannot be eaten all. The imperial tax is two years away, but it has to be prepared now.
It is impossible to say that this specific matter does not need to be widely publicized, and even many of these means cannot be said.
After the award ceremony, Gu Hang held an internal meeting.
This meeting is the real dry goods and the key.
Such a meeting lasted for two days.
……
When Lambert left the conference room, it was already early in the morning of the third day.
The morning sun wasn't too strong, but it still made Lambert's eyes a little uncomfortable.
The past two days have been dark, literally.
Eat and live in the conference room, and yesterday there was an all-night meeting.
The Governor was always able to maintain his radiant appearance, but he Lambert was a mortal and couldn't stand it.
At the moment, he was really tired.
But I couldn't suppress the excitement.
A significant part of the two-day meeting was the appointments. Today, he is the head of the Supreme Law Council and the Supreme Justice of the Union. His next important task was to enact the law in accordance with the spirit conveyed by the Governor during the two days of the meeting.
To do this, he needed to establish a legislative council to do the legislative work; Establish an executive committee to do judicial work. In addition, he also needs to establish a disciplinary committee to supervise and audit government officials and enterprise factory managers.
From the very beginning of the establishment of the new coalition government, there was already a vigilance against corruption and institutional rigidity. He needs to get a hard grip on this part of the job.
This is also in line with the work he has done in the previous period.
Legislative, judicial, supervisory and auditing ...... In other words, he, the Supreme Justice of the Union, is in a sense the same rank as the head of government, the Prime Minister of the Union. And now, the Prime Minister of the Union Government is still in charge of the Governor himself.
This almost means that he is already the highest-ranking official in the new league.
The Hodgsons' early investment in the Governor paid off.
Although, the concentration of such great power in his sole body must be an impossible thing to do for long, but only an expedient measure when no one is available for the time being. After all, when dividing positions, these are reserved for pit positions, and presumably someone will replace them in the future.
But so what?
He, Lambert, is in charge of this work, so aren't these people who come up in the future essentially his old subordinates? Even if he doesn't work here in the future, he will still have a huge influence here.
However, the high-ranking officials are by no means the reason for his excitement now.
For him personally, are these things worth exchanging the lives of the whole family?
If he were to choose, he wouldn't choose a hundred times.
But his grandfather chose it, and he didn't react until something happened.
When he had just decided to come to the Governor's camp to help the Governor, he knew that his decision represented the Hodgsons' attitude being put on the spot. But at that time, the worst result he thought in his heart was nothing more than that his grandfather would be in Fuxing City, bearing a lot of pressure, and the family would be suppressed.
But everything is irretrievable, and everything that has been lost will be recovered after the governor succeeds.
He never thought that the head of the council of the alliance would die in the capital of the alliance.
But old Hodgson, who may have thought of it a long time ago, just didn't tell him.
Is it for him?
Is this for the Hodgsons?
Lambert felt no.
If that's what they do, they don't have to do it. What else is there for the Hodgsons now? When all men are dead, they are just alive.
So what is it for?
He remembered the conversation he had with his grandfather before he left Fuxing City and came to the Governor.
"The whole planet is looking forward to a revival, and the sooner the better. I'm willing to contribute to this first, rather than continue to wait silently. It is far more meaningful to be a promoter of the times than to wait for the times to change and then get on the bus in a panic. ”
This sentence buried a political family in Fuxing City, but it also became the fuse, allowing the governor to become the master of Fuxing City earlier.
No matter how many twists and turns there are in the process, it is now an established fact.
Why is it said that only a Governor can save the world?
This question, why don't you convert into an empire, what does it bring to the angry star?
History can be learned.
It is true that the Empire is heavily oppressed, but in the hundred years after the war and before the return to the Empire, is the situation of the Raging Owl good?
It's bad, even worse than it was during the second Governor.
When a generation of governors established the alliance, the total population of the Angry Owl was probably more than 20 million people; After seventeen years of his reign, that number had doubled to nearly fifty million. The birth rate has increased dramatically, the mortality rate has been greatly reduced, and a large number of hidden populations have re-emerged as a result of social development.
It's just that in the last 12 years, it has fallen to less than 40 million.
The return to the empire did bring heavy taxes. But other than that, it's not without benefits.
To rebuild the world, the empire will allocate financial subsidies, which will be distributed by the star district government.
This aid, in the hands of a generation of governors, has brought about the great development of the Angry Owl for seventeen years, and can be called the engine of the planet's revival.
Without these, a generation of governors took the lead in building alliances and integrating local forces?
And in addition to reconstruction assistance, returning to the Empire has one of the most important benefits: interstellar trade.
Upon returning to the Empire and having its own satrap, the Imperial caravans will use the Raging Owl as a stop for trade. A large number of things that are not produced by the Raging Owl itself will be obtained with the arrival of interstellar trade.
These two items are the biggest benefits after returning to the empire.
Is it true that the Raging Owl Star can't develop?
No.
It's difficult, but with Imperial aid and joining the interstellar trade routes, Raging Owl should have thrived.
What they need is a reliable governor.
Neither can be as incompetent as the previous three generations, they will be controlled as soon as they land, and the decree will not leave the office; And we can't be like the second generation of governors, who will only rule the world with violence and fear, regardless of development, and fish with all their might, and sooner or later they will fall apart; It can't even be like a generation of governors, perhaps capable enough, but too merciful to have the majesty of a ruler.
The loose form of government such as the alliance makes the local forces quite independent, and it is impossible to gather the power of the entire planet to concentrate on development and reasonably deal with the imperial taxes. This is the bane of a generation of governors.
This is the result of Lambert's own thinking.
He was betting on whether Gu Hang was a governor who met these requirements.
So far, at least, he feels he's made the right bet.
In this case, saving the whole world does not seem to be a vain thing.
And this is also the reason why he and the old Hodgson are willing to give everything for it.
……
After leaving the room, Lambert did not immediately go to the legislative work that the Governor had given him, but went to the Union prison and met with someone.
Former Coalition MP, Bradford.
This one did not appear on the previous list of executions.
Normally, he was going to die. He had a lot more dirt on his butt than many people who had been sentenced to death and executed.
But he didn't die.
It is said that it is because he has made great meritorious contributions.
This is mainly reflected in the fact that Bradford has charged a considerable number of people with crimes and provided evidence of their crimes.
Of course......
"You know." Lambert said to Bradford in prison, "As a so-called tainted witness, we can't atone for your sins, and we don't really need the accusations you make, the evidence. ”
Bradford's mental outlook is okay now, and he nodded: "I understand." ”
"Now, the time has come for you to really make your first meritorious service." Lambert said, "Minister Osena has something to do with you. ”
"It's a food problem."
"Yes, you're smart." "Now, Ms. Osena is the only minister in charge of finance, civil affairs, production and commerce. These responsibilities will definitely be dismantled in the future, and I think you must be interested in the position of Secretary of Commerce. It's just that there is a lot of competition for this position, and you have a congenital disadvantage. ”
Bradford listened carefully.
And, he was a little surprised by Lambert's attitude.
Lambert didn't care about this, but continued: "If you really want to enter the system of the new government, the first shot must be fired, and to truly reflect your own value, solving the food problem is a good starting point. ”
"I understand, thank you."
Lambert stretched out his hand and stopped the thanks: "Someone will let you out in a while, take you to Minister Osena, and do a good job." ”
With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Bradford stopped him.
Lambert stopped, but didn't look back.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Lambert knew that Bradford's apology was for their Hodgsons. He waved his hand, turned his back to Bradford and said, "Don't misunderstand, I heard your apology, but I will never forgive you." The only reason you can save your life is that you are still useful to the Governor. You'd better always make sure that this reason exists, or I'll make you pay the price you deserve, wherever you flee to the ends of the earth. ”
……
Bradford is in a good mood when he sees the light of day again.
Although, before being released, he asked Lambert to make a verbal threat, but he didn't take it to heart.
In other words, Lambert's attitude is what it should be.
Even if he is not the mastermind, he is the main accomplice to the death of the Hodgson family, and the two have a common enmity.
Ask yourself, change yourself to the same position, I am afraid that I will be punished by the governor, and I will also kill the enemy.
In fact, by putting himself in Lambert's hands, the Governor probably meant to leave the decision on this matter to Lambert himself. If Lambert really wanted his life, the Governor would probably not even say a word of blame.
Whatever Lambert didn't, he at least survived for now.
There is even a chance to continue to climb up.
Secretary of Commerce...... If Zhen gets this position, then his status will probably not be worse than before.
His heart was full of motivation, and after meeting Osena, he really showed his real skills.
