Chapter 264, Angry Star Harbor

Gu Hang knew that the head of Pei Desi would not be happy.

The reason is not complicated.

Multiple planets obey the orders of a governor at the same time, which in itself is disgusted and wary of all sector leaders.

Why did Pedders have a bad relationship with the Fasters family?

In addition to the many dirty conflicts between the two sides in terms of government affairs and daily communication, there is a core contradiction, which is that the Fastes family controls the three planets in the Pegasus Star Zone.

Including the Raging Owls, there are only nine worlds in the Pegasus Star Zone, and Fastceth accounts for three!

What else does the head of the star sector have to say?

Under the political system of the empire, it was actually a situation of 'heavy at both ends and light in the middle'.

The so-called two ends are heavy at the two ends of the imperial center and the planetary governor.

In theory, or even in practice, the center of the empire holds all the power of the entire empire's borderless territory, so there is no need to say more.

Planetary Governors wield all the power within a single imperial world, and within their own jurisdiction, that is to say.

And the three levels of government sandwiched in the middle are a little embarrassing.

The three levels of government below the empire and above the planets, from large to small, are 'Celestial Domain' - 'Star Domain' - 'Star Sector'.

For example, the Angry Owl Star under the jurisdiction of Gu Hang generally belongs to the Eastern Celestial Domain-Dragon Eagle Star Domain-Pegasus Star Region-Angry Owl Galaxy.

And the middle three levels of government do not have complete ruling power.

For example, Pedus, the head of the star sector, nominally has the power to control the nine worlds of the entire Pegasus star region, but in fact, he basically cannot interfere in the specific affairs of specific planets.

It's true that he's the superior of the planetary governors, but that right is greatly discounted.

Those governors of other people, as long as they ensure that the taxes are paid, they are the emperors of the soil. The head has an order, and he can listen to it if he wants to, but if he really doesn't want to listen to it, what can he do?

If there is jurisdiction, but it cannot be removed, punished, or rewarded, then this jurisdiction is empty.

He has power, but the imperial taxes will remain in his hands. On the other hand, he is responsible for the maintenance of the naval fleet in his own star region, the maintenance of the astral army, and the tax stability of the entire star region.

The head of the star sector also has the power to issue orders for the Imperial Navy and the Astral Army, and can be regarded as the number one military and political leader. However, the Imperial Navy had its own immediate superior, Tilemence, the commander of the Pegasus fleet, who also reported to his superiors; The same is true for the Astral Army.

In addition, there are the Imperial Military Affairs Department, the Administration Department, and the Tax Department, which will carry out various vertical management of affairs at the star sector level.

These factors make the position of the head of the star sector very awkward, and it is natural to compete for power with the forces up and down.

And when it comes to specific star regions, it will be very different.

In some star areas, the head is more Buddha, does not fight or grab, and lies flat completely; If you make some progress, you will do a good job, and the work that you upload and assign will be done.

But in most cases, the leaders will still fight.

After all, they have all reached this position, who is willing to be a mud bodhisattva?

In the Pegasus Star Zone, Pedes belongs to the kind of leader who is relatively strong. Through good relations with the Fofana family, a certain degree of control of the navy was achieved; By putting his brother in the position of the governor of the winged star, he achieved control over the capital planet of the star sector and the most developed world; Through his friendship with the Gu family, he achieved control over the Imperial Chamber of Commerce; Strengthen your control over the region by manipulating the governors of each planet......

All kinds of means have made Pei Desi a rare star sector leader with real power.

However, the Falchers family, which controls three planets at the same time, has always been a thorn in his heart, and he can't get into it at all.

In this situation, there is no doubt that this kind of thing is what Peters, the head of the star sector, hates the most.

There was already a Falcher in the Star Zone, how could he tolerate Gu Hang also taking this path?

What's more, the Gu family also has the energy of the Chamber of Commerce that Fastes does not have.

Gu Hang wants to further expand his authority as governor and supervise multiple planets at the same time, so this is a path that will inevitably lead to contradictions and conflicts with the head of Pedes.

But......

Just one Pei Desi, Gu Hang is not afraid.

The real power of the leaders of other star regions is very small, so why can't the political ecology of the Pegasus star region become like this?

The key to this is the control of the position of the governor of multiple planets and the control of the Imperial Navy.

The main thing that Pedus can control is the choice of the governor of the four planets of Wings, Red Arrows, and Koroga 1 and 2.

Among them, the most important are the Koroga 1, a nest world with a population of 40 billion, and the highly developed garden world and civilization world of Flying Wings.

However, it is not easy to get control of these planets for Pedes.

As for the navy, it was mainly the Fofana family.

Peders relied on his extremely good relationship with the Fofana family to maintain control of the navy.

And in front of Gu Hang, there is a core figure of the Fofana family.

Before, his mother vaguely mentioned it to him.

He is now also beginning to seriously consider, what will be the effect if he marries the Fofana family?

Gu Hang is not a naΓ―ve boy, he does not reject political marriages.

What's more, Elicia is a beauty from every point of view.

……

On the way back to Yelicia's starship, Gu Hang did not forget to communicate with Pedes.

Although he has begun to see Pedders as a potential adversary, a stumbling block to further expand his influence in the future.

But for now, it's a target to please.

Now, Gu Hang still can't directly challenge the head of the star region, and even needs a lot of help from the other party.

It's time to lick or have to be licked.

As soon as the communication was connected, Gu Hang could hear that the tone of the head of Pei Desi on the other side was not very good:

"Gu Hang, Gu Hang, you really have the ability." The face of the head of Pei Desi also appeared opposite Gu Hang, obviously with a smile, but with a clear hint of coldness, "I'm curious, why did you spare Nes Luhmann's life?" Why don't you just kill him, and then I'll give you an application to make you the governor of Black Arrow Star, what do you think? ”

Obviously, these are all backwords.

Pei Desi would be sneering, which was expected by Gu Hang.

But in fact, Gu Hang was not too nervous.

As long as you are willing to answer the phone, it means that the situation is fine.

Of course, although he was not nervous, Gu Hang still showed a sincere and frightened look on his face: "Mr. Chief, it is precisely because I am worried that you will misunderstand that I am here to communicate with you on this occasion." Please believe me, I have no intention of being the governor of two planets at the same time. ”

"Heh, your army is already stationed on the Black Arrow Star, how can I trust you?"

"I need to keep Black Arrow steady." Gu Hang said, "My mother told me that I had to keep a force there, after all, the Black Arrow Star was still the core trading partner of the Gu family. ”

The statement that pushed the matter on his mother was discussed by him and Wang Qi. I don't expect to prevaricate, but at least there's an explanation.

Peters didn't bother to dwell on this topic, he put forward the condition bluntly: "You must withdraw your army, your influence, from Black Arrow." For Black Arrow to maintain their traditions, the King's Council must exist. The Star District Government will arrange a dispatch agency on Black Arrow to oversee the King's Council electing their governors. ”

"Okay."

"Huh?" This time Pei Desi was a little surprised.

So happy to agree?

He was really unhappy. Authorized the Bladed Tiger to carry the army of the Angry Owl Star to the Black Arrow Star, and as the Imperial Navy, he coerced the two sides into a truce, so that Gu Hang could rescue his mother, which was his clear choice to take sides in the Gu family's infighting.

However, his authorization was only limited to letting Gu Hang save his mother.

What he didn't expect was that in less than two years, the Angry Owl Star not only developed well, but a partial division sent out could and completely collapse a kingdom on someone's home field.

He didn't expect that Gu Hang's subordinates would be supported by more than a dozen Space Marines!

All of this made him extremely vigilant.

In his opinion, since Gu Hang had already eaten the Luman Kingdom, it was impossible for him to spit it out easily.

The raw rice is cooked and cooked, where can it be said that the army will be withdrawn?

He was ready to bargain with the Gu family on this matter.

Unexpectedly, Gu Hang agreed to his request to withdraw so easily.

This couldn't help but make him think in his heart: Did I misunderstand this kid?

Putting this idea aside, he thought for a moment, as long as the army of the Angry Owl withdrew, they should not be able to maintain their influence on the Black Arrow Star.

As for the Gu family's influence on Black Arrow Star's trade, it was not a problem. There was already one, but could it be deprived of it?

But in general, Gu Hang's attitude, Pei Desi is still generally satisfied.

His tone softened a lot as a result.

The two further discussed the withdrawal of troops for a while.

Gu Hang expressed his willingness to withdraw the troops, but the withdrawal was not something that would be withdrawn after a while. The military power of the Kingdom of Luman itself has been defeated, and it is necessary for the army of the Angry Owl to remain on it for a period of time to maintain order in the country, so as not to make a big change in the situation of the Seven Kingdoms of the Black Arrow Star and suppress the ambitions of the other six countries.

Gu Hang promised that the total number of troops stationed on the Black Arrow Star would not exceed 50,000; The withdrawal will be completed over the next two years, and his troops will gradually leave Black Arrow. Until two years later, when Black Arrow's next Council of Kings elected a new planetary governor, he assured that his forces would be completely withdrawn.

However, the Gu family's major losses on the Black Arrow Star need to be repaid by the Luman Kingdom in the form of war reparations, year by year.

These conditions are within the acceptable range of Pedes.

As long as the army of the Raging Owl can leave the Black Arrow Star before the next King's Council election, ensuring that the election of the King's Council will not be manipulated militarily and that the Black Arrow Star will not fall into Gu Hang's hands, he will be able to accept it.

And in order to ensure this, the dispatched agency of the star district government will replace him and supervise all this.

As for the indemnity that the Luman Kingdom wants to make to the Gu family, then Pei Desi doesn't care.

And rightfully so.

The conversation between the two became more harmonious the further they went.

Until the end, Pedes even felt that he had earned it.

Originally, he didn't have much to do with the Black Arrow Star, but now, the star district government he led can send agencies to this planet to supervise the production of the planetary governor in the name of 'respecting tradition', which gives him the opportunity to intervene.

It's still a good thing.

It wasn't until the end of the communication that he had a smile on his face, and he just reminded Gu Hang to remember to fulfill the previous agreement and drive the power of the Facher family out of the Raging Owl Star, and then hung up the communication.

After the end of the communication, Gu Hang's face was always smiling.

"Withdraw the troops in two years...... No problem. At that time, the Luman Kingdom's own army should be rebuilt. In two years, it is difficult to say that the time will unify the Black Arrow Star, and the ability to hold the planetary governor steadily will definitely be there. ”

"The self-reliant kingdom of Luman...... Gee. ”

Gu Hang thought in his heart.

He didn't mind at all that Black Arrow's future planetary governor was fairly and impartially elected by the King's Council.

After returning, he will send a large number of agricultural machinery, some government officials, and some military experts to the Black Arrow Star to 'help' the Luman Kingdom rebuild their homeland, upgrade the agricultural industry, and train the army.

Gu Hang had also seen it before, in the [Soldier Card] system, as long as one tenth of the people in a troop were composed of the native population, and the other 90% were the population of vassal countries, then it would be fine.

He will do well to train an excellent army for the Kingdom of Luman.

……

In space, after seven days of sailing, Gu Hang returned to his base camp.

The Bladed Tiger docked at Starport.

Gu Hang also saw the appearance of his own star port for the first time.

Eight days ago, when he left, it was still a large construction site.

After the ground part of the starport was completed, a space station built on the surface was launched from the magnetic track.

Of course, the space station is not big, far from being called a starport. However, the large-scale orbital spacecraft that was subsequently upgraded from the [Wind Falcon Speed Attack Boat] technology combined with the [Starport Technology Blueprint] quickly sent personnel and construction machinery to the space station through the magnetic rail channel.

Immediately after that, boxes of parts made on the ground were launched; Workers in special spacesuits, loaded with the gravity effect provided by anti-gravity engines, piloted the engineering aircraft, smoothly assembling those parts produced on the ground in space.

By now, it has begun to take shape.

Of course, if you look at it by the standards of Xinggang, it is too small and simple, and the functions and services that can be provided are too few. This entire starport is actually not as big as the Bladed Tiger.

But at least it has been able to provide a boarding bridge and a space station capable of staying 1,000 people.

As soon as the Bladed Tiger docked with the boarding bridge, the soldiers could directly step on the floor and drive the tank, and then go down from the bridge to the Angry Starport, and then sit on the orbital spacecraft one after another, leaving from the starport and arriving at the opposite side.

This speed of operation is much faster than the transportation of landing ships from trip to trip.

Looking at this starport, which was still small and very simple, Gu Hang's chest was full of pride.

It was as if he could already see that in the future, this place would be wrapped in armor, covered with artillery fire, and equipped with a shipyard, and it would become the appearance of the Star Fortress!
