Chapter 274, you have such a big appetite

Is Gallardo, the Apostle of War, visiting the Pegasus Zone?

That's obviously not.

The Expedition to the Sun was in full swing, and as one of the 46 Apostles, Gallardo was very busy.

In the Sun Expedition, 1.5 planets have to be subdued every day, and the Sun Lord's 'oppression' of the entire expeditionary force is terrible, and the potential of the entire army has been used by him to the limit, and every soldier has done his best to contribute his strength.

Not to mention being trusted by the inner circle of the 'Apostles of War' whom he trusted.

Some of Garador's colleagues, who were also war apostles, were independently leading an expeditionary force, leading fleets and astral armies to conquer cities in the sea of stars; Some have been sent into a warband, and can even make a group of interstellar marines bow down to orders; Someone served as a bishop of the Church of the Church, mobilizing the forces of the Church, especially the Sisters of Battle, to assist the Legion in battle......

In order to strive for honor and military exploits, the apostles, marshals, and generals were divided into many branches. Often when they arrive at a planet, they are pressed down with grandeur, surrender and accept the ruler as the governor of the planet, and wait for the tax to be collected, which is considered a recovery;

If you don't surrender, the orbital bombing will come for a few days, bombing indiscriminately, destroying both military and civilian forces, regardless of whether the bombing is clean or not, the army will log in, sweep it hastily, and set up a planetary governor, or temporarily find a general or even a colonel from the army to be this governor.

After finishing it, the army, except for a small part left behind, immediately left and left for the next battlefield.

If you encounter some cross-galaxy civilizations, it will take a long time. But against this kind of cross-galactic civilization, a naval battle, a destruction of the capital planet, sometimes can subdue a few or a dozen worlds.

Of course, there were also battles that dragged on for a long time, and the enemy's will to resist was particularly fierce. Then bring in more troops to come to support, and even ask the nearby Space Marines warband to come out. Two warbands, thousands of Space Marines, and any civilization have been bulldozed for you.

At present, there are more than a dozen main legions divided into the Sun Expeditionary Force, and there may be hundreds of teams operating and fighting at the same time.

It is this kind of efficiency that can give rise to an average speed of three worlds in two days.

And what about Gallardo? The same Apostle of War, he is not on the way to conquer, what is he doing here?

"His role is quite important." Gu Hang listened to his mother's voice, but there was a little sneer in it, "The Sun Expeditionary Force is so powerful, and the various material support it needs is astronomical. Even if the empire is fully supported, even the imperial tax gathered by countless worlds will not be able to feed this giant beast if it fills the two bottomless pits of the Sun Expeditionary Force and Solaria. ”

"Galardo's duty is to open up new reinforcements for the expeditionary force in addition to the imperial taxes. In the past ten years, he has traveled in many star fields, sending boatloads of resources to the expeditionary force, which is a good supplement to the lack of imperial taxes. Although he did not directly lead the army, the role he played was, in the words of the Sun Lord, 'no less than an army of billions'. ”

After hearing this, Gu Hang slowly recovered from the news that the big man had come to the Tianma Star Region.

"So, this person is here to fight the autumn wind?"

"Yes, it's just that this person who fights the autumn wind is not easy to pass."

"What's more critical is that the situation in the Pegasus Star Zone, which is already going to be chaotic, will become even more chaotic."

The mother and son discussed.

At this point, Gu Hang also had a general understanding of the entire situation background of the star region.

In the coming years, the entire Pegasus Star Region will probably turn from a relatively peaceful state in the past to chaos as a whole.

But Gu Hang also vaguely had another thought:

When you are in chaos, you can be enterprising.

If it was like in the past, Peters strongly controlled the two richest and most populous planets in the star region, and pulled the navy, and he didn't deal with the Faches family, but it would not be clear that he would turn his face, and the planets were in a peaceful state......

Gu Hang didn't have any other thoughts, so he could only honestly farm with the angry star for many years.

Now, on the contrary, many opportunities may be born.

Right now, this war apostle may be one of the opportunities.

Autumn wind? Let him fight, as long as he can bring Gu Hang what he needs.

"Alright." His mother's voice woke him up from his musings: "I have told you all the information I need to share with you, and some of my analysis of this. What do you want to do next? ”

"What does Mother think? What can the family operate from this series of things? ”

Gu Hang mainly refers to the fact that Blackbird violated the smart ban. The other two events, whether it was the Coroga unrest or the arrival of Gallardo, were widely known. Only the matter of the Blackbird is the information that has just been obtained.

But his mother said, "It doesn't matter what the family wants to profit here, I just ask you, what kind of situation do you want to achieve?" Let's focus on the situation of the angry owl first, I'll push it as hard as I can. On this basis, think about what the family should do. ”

Mom said so, and Gu Hang was not polite.

He thought for a moment, and then said: "The situation I want is actually very simple, just quickly clear the Blackbird and the intelligent machine crisis that is likely to break out from the Raging Owl Star, but I have to pay as little price as possible, and it is best not to break the west of the continent, otherwise I will spend a lot of money to rebuild." ”

Wang Qi answered: "You are really greedy! ”

Gu Hang smiled and asked, "It was my mother who asked me to make a request." Is there a way to do it? ”

Wang Qi just scolded casually, but he actually had an idea: "If you want to achieve your goal, you need enough Astral Army to help." This can't offend the Faltces family to death, and I need to inform them about the Blackbird. Unless their entire family has violated the Smart Ban - which is unlikely to be true - if it's just the Blackbird, they'll be even more anxious than you are to kill the Blackbird. ”

"But that would offend Peders, the Imperial Navy won't help transport the army."

Wang Qi smiled: "In a naval battle, the family's chamber of commerce fleet may not be able to do it; Transport, the Pegasus fleet combined is not as good as ours. As for the question of offending Peders...... Yes and no. We can also mediate and help him in the matter of his biggest concern, Koroga 3. The Falchers family will be able to help because of the forbidden things. ”

"Okay, then speaking of Koroga 3, I also have some thoughts about the first thing......"

Wang Qi's face turned bad: "Do you still want to benefit from this matter?" ”

Gu Hang said with a smile: "Of course, the biggest reason that restricts the development of the Angry Owl Star now is the lack of population. I need the population, there are 40 billion people in Koroga 3 who are suffering, as a minister of the Empire, it is incumbent on me to help the people of the Empire! ”

Wang Qi sneered and said, "Where is there such a good operation?" No matter how much disaster happens, the population is also wealth. One person, five tax coins, are you going to buy it? ”

"That's definitely something you can't afford." Gu Hang's attitude was very gentle at this time, and he asked for others, "Mother, there will definitely be a way." ”

"Hmph, you know you're here to please me?"

"Hey, hey."

If you have milk, you are a mother, not to mention that you are your own mother.

Seeing that Wang Qi was pondering, Gu Hang didn't bother much, just waited quietly.

After a while, Wang Qi slowly spoke: "It's not that there is no way at all. How many people do you want? ”

"That's not too much!"

"Can you afford to feed that many people? Don't be too ambitious. ”

Gu Hang Zhengse said: "The last time you came to the Angry Owl Star, you at least overlooked our Beiqinggu Province from above. At present, the annual grain output here is enough to feed 50 million people according to the standards of the Angry Owl. At present, the population under my rule is only 25 million, and we are not short of food, and at least 10 million people can be transported. The per capita standard of living and food consumption on Koroga 3 are not as high as those of the Angry Owl. ”

This is a truth.

Koroga No. 3 has a population of 40 billion, most of whom are poor, living a life of starvation, and the per capita food consumption may not reach 30% of the E5 level of the angry owl, at most they do not starve to death, and they eat all corpse starch.

The starch from the corpse of the Raging Owl is now used for meat and livestock.

At the limit, not to mention that another 25 million people can afford it, it is no problem to come to 50 million.

"What's more......," Gu Hang continued, "there is still a large amount of cultivated land in the Beiqinggu area, which is undeveloped. The reason for the non-development is not because of anything else, but the lack of population, the lack of agricultural workers. If all the 1.2 billion cultivated land were developed, and the rest of the food output was included, I would have no problem raising 300 million people. ”

"You're really capable." In a cynical tone, but in fact, Wang Qi knew that this was a compliment, but she was not used to praising her son.

She simply changed the subject and got back to business: "You can follow the Imperial Immigration Decree and move people in a free way, and the family's Chamber of Commerce fleet can help with transportation." But that's something to talk to Pedes. Moreover, you must also be prepared to pay some price, the population will not be given to you in vain. But since you have abundant food reserves, you can do it through a certain amount of food aid, consumer goods aid, and arms aid when the time comes. ”

"Isn't that the same as buying?"

"The price will be much, much lower." Wang Qi said, "This time, among the four billion tax coins to be paid by Koroga No. 3, I am afraid that the proportion of human tax will increase significantly because of this incident." Their demand for all kinds of supplies will also increase, and the excess population will become a burden to them, and they will be willing to throw some of it off. I estimate that the overall cost can be pressed to 1 tax currency per person, or even lower. ”

Gu Hang nodded slightly.

Although it's a pity that he can't pick it up for nothing, he also knows that he can't be too greedy.

So, Gu Hang spoke again: "There is a third piece of intelligence, can you ......?"

Seeing that the old lady's eyes widened, Gu Hang smiled, a little embarrassed to continue to mention it.

But what is embarrassment? The benefits are serious.

He still continued to be cheeky and said: "The War Apostle wants to come to the Pegasus Star Region, and he wants to ensure that this imperial tax in the Pegasus Star Region is used for expeditions, and in addition to this, he will make an extra autumn breeze." This is okay, and the Raging Owl can support an additional 'Expeditionary Tax', and even Black Arrow can support this tax as well. But can I justifiably be able to control Black Arrow? ”

“…… You have a big appetite. ”

Wang Qi already regretted what he had just said, 'Come to the angry owl star first'.

Who knew that Gu Hang could climb the pole so well? My son wasn't like this before!

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Gu Hang said calmly, "How can you do it if you don't eat?" The next time, if you have the power, you will have the power to let one person who is also the governor of two places come to the Pegasus Star District, I don't know what year and month it will be. ”

"Your Raging Star is only 20 million people, and you want to swallow 400 million Black Arrow Stars? Not afraid to die? ”

"At least the name and the law are set first. It's good for the family, isn't it? In the future, the Black Arrow Star will be owned by me, and Gu Ming's incident will not happen again. ”

Wang Qi pondered for a while and said, "The price to be paid will be very high......"

"Mother, remember what I told you? As a ruler, you can't just think about price. ”

"Don't tell me about your crooked ways." Wang Qi said, "I'll give it a try." ”

Gu Hang is overjoyed!

"Then thank you, Mother!"

……

After hanging up the communication, Gu Hang was indeed very happy.

It would be wonderful if the three demands just made to my mother could be met, from eradicating the Blackbird to population growth to the Governor of Black Arrow.

Of course, he knows that things may not be so smooth sailing, and there are very likely to be twists and turns in the middle.

But if there is a problem, solve the problem, and this road must be followed.

Just like now.

Gu Hang will not put all his expectations on his mother.

To put it mildly, it is not impossible that the entire Faches family has violated the ban on intelligence, and even been controlled by intelligent machines.

The current crisis still has to be prepared to deal with it on its own.

The whole system of the alliance is already working.

First of all, it is the ambassador of the Blackbird Group stationed in the alliance, and there are already special agents from Lambert's side who have gone up to ask for tea.

There is no such thing as turning the face, the movement of the witcher team in the west of the continent is not small, and Blackbird Heavy Industries is afraid that it has been prepared.

Gu Hang still hoped to get more information from the ambassador sent by the Blackbird Group.

However, the results came soon.

The Blackbird Ambassador, who was invited to tea, and several attendants, suddenly died of a collective brain attack seventeen minutes after being arrested. Expatriate personnel from the Union Hospital dissected the bodies and found that they looked similar to humans on the outside, but were actually heavily mechanically modified on the inside.

It's a pity, but it's to be expected.

Gu Hang just asked Lambert to continue to send people to the west to do intelligence gathering work.

The Witcher squad will go again.

It's not enough to have demon hunters, after all, there are few of them, and Lambert will also arrange hundreds of ordinary agents.

Intelligence work is certainly dangerous, but it is a necessary task.
