What are the benefits of being an astral army to fight a war for the Empire?

For the government of the Raging Owl Alliance, there is no direct benefit.

But for Gu Hang, not necessarily.

Originally, he didn't want to be the leader of the Angry Bear Legion himself, so let Yan Fangxu do it, and it was a better choice for him to hide behind.

But since he has already sat in this position, he will be safe when he comes, and Gu Hang will try his best to make use of this matter to find out if there is any value and opportunity that can be used.

There are still.

The first is prestige, which is not direct, but valuable. He is not the kind of lonely man, as a politician, the leader of a faction, he can no longer be used as the only means to make a fortune and develop quietly.

Of course, there is a need for this aspect, such as the development of science and technology, and the development of industrial production capacity within the planet, which do not need to be publicized to the outside world, and belong to the cultivation of internal strength.

And now, the angry star is gradually moving towards the sea of stars, and in the interstellar exchange, the role that the intangible property of 'prestige' can play cannot be underestimated.

For example, before, Gu Hang showed the strength of an A-level psionic, which was the improvement of his personal prestige.

And prestige is something that can be realized, but it requires some methods and abilities.

He's already cashing in.

The soon-to-be-established branch of the Psionic Order on the Angry Owl is one way to monetize.

This branch will receive funding from the headquarters of the Heavenly Matthew Society; You can get a treasure trove of information on cultivating psionics; Gu Hang has the qualifications to cultivate psionics, and he can issue legal licenses to psionics under his command.

These are all important.

The amount of appropriation is a sum of money, and the most important thing is the issue of legal licenses. When there is no license, the psionics cultivated by the Raging Owl Star have nothing to do when they operate on their own planet. But as the whole of the Angry Owl Star has calmed down, and the whole society is relatively stable, it will definitely go to the interstellar stage in the future.

Outside, with the Empire's control policy for psionics, without a legal license status, psionics are prone to problems.

In the future, there is no need to worry about this.

At the same time, in addition to psionics-related things, Gu Hang's fame this time has a more important interest.

Through the relationship of Gu's firm, he found many investors and signed a lot of investment contracts.

The industrial capacity of the planet does not require investment from outsiders. The economic system of the alliance is more planned, and the functions of money and the market play an auxiliary role, but there is no need to bring in a particularly large number of foreign investors to carry out construction.

But commerce is indispensable. The alliance has abundant production capacity, and a considerable part of the production capacity is nowhere to digest. Even if you take all the taxes and pay them, you can't keep all the remaining taxes in your hands, you always have to engage in some trade, make some orders, and convert your extra production capacity into profits.

In addition, although the alliance has abundant production capacity and can be self-sufficient, it does not need external input for everything. With the subsequent expansion of production capacity, the demand for raw materials will grow day by day.

Mining, Logging, Planting...... Of course, these will also be developed in the local area of the Raging Owl, but they have to be prepared for a rainy day. It is also good to engage in a trade route for resource input.

With the support of the Gu family firm behind him, Gu Hang is not worried about having no channels to do interstellar trade. But there's a huge question in between: what about Starport?

There is a starport in the Angry Owl now, but it is too small, and hundreds of thousands of astral troops who can move and run on their own will have to wait for several days. If in large-scale interstellar trade, there is no condition for the exchange of goods that can easily cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions of tax coins, and the starport cannot carry such a large transportation capacity.

Moreover, at present, the largest ship that can dock in the starport of the Angry Owl Star is the frigate class. For example, the most popular 'giant belly' transport ship in interstellar trade, it simply can't dock.

Gu Hang has a complete set of design blueprints for the construction of a large starport, and there are no technical bottlenecks. The city of Scarlo, below Starport, now has a permanent population of 500,000, and almost in less than a year, it has gone from a wasteland to the largest city in Xiongya Province. Almost all of these 500,000 people came to build the Star Port, even if they were not directly engaged in construction work, they were at least engaged in the transportation of raw materials, personnel and material support, ground management, medical care, and police......

The core of this series of derivative work is, of course, the construction of the starport.

However, even with so many people working for it, the pace of construction of Starport is still slow.

When Gu Hang said this to his mother, he was stared at with incredible eyes for a while.

"What do you think Starport is? You've only been building for less than a year! Other planets, those large-scale starports you have seen, which ones have not gone through decades, hundreds of years of use and expansion, and slowly formed the way they are now? Don't think about becoming a fat man in one bite! ”

But Gu Hang just wanted to be a fat man.

And what is the way to speed up construction?

Find outside investment.

The current way of building the alliance is to launch orbital spacecraft and send a small number of spare parts that have been produced on the ground at a time, or one or two engineering aircraft, into space. Then the workers have to wear spacesuits, which are very obstructive to movement, and carry out space operations.

Gu Hang does have a full set of blueprint techniques now, but many of these construction methods have no way to achieve them at all.

But if there is external investment, it will be easy to do.

You can find that kind of large engineering ship to do this job, which is much more reliable than engineering machines; You can directly buy super-large accessories produced by others, transport them, and use engineering ships for assembly......

All in all, if there is enough money, Gu Hang estimates that he will be able to expand the scale of the Nuxiao Star Harbor to hundreds of times the current one in one or two years.

Such a large sum of money is no longer enough to save on your own, rely on cheating, and rely on Gu's firm to subsidize.

It is necessary to bring in strong investors.

After learning about her son's ambitions, Ms. Wang Qi also became active and found some people who were initially interested.

If it had been before, this investment project would have been unattended. But now, Gu Hang himself has shown a certain ability, the Angry Bear Legion has made some reputation, and people are slowly beginning to believe that investing in the Angry Owl, a wasteland planet in the past, is a rewarding thing.

Of course, these investors are still more cautious, and the money they are willing to invest is generally only tens of thousands, to the extent that hundreds of thousands of tax coins are dead.

This is not enough for Gu Hang's grand plan.

But despite this, he did not refuse.

It is necessary to set an example in advance. Even those who engage in fraud know to give a sweetness first, Gu Hang will let these people who are willing to spend money to build a star port for him to make money.

As for the future...... The star harbor chief is in the orbit of the angry star, and Gu Hang has guns and cannons, so there is not much else to say.

However, Gu Hang's main reputation now is still focused on the identity of the A-level psionic and the young head of the Gu family's trading house. This type of reputation is not very effective in attracting investors.

If the Angry Bear can play a better performance on the battlefield of Koroga 3, it will undoubtedly be a plus.

Everyone knows that the Angry Bear Legion, from its soldiers to its equipment, comes from the Angry Owl's own production. The combat effectiveness of an army will be able to illustrate the comprehensive strength of a planet from all angles, which is a huge billboard.

The value of prestige, herein.

……

In addition to the value of prestige, the Angry Bears have a better record here, and there are other direct benefits.

Politically, it can bring the relationship with the surrounding political forces closer. Helping the Imperial World beat up the plague demons is undoubtedly doing the right thing.

The exploits of the Angry Bear Legion will eventually fall on Gu Hang. He is the commander of the legion, with the rank of brigadier general, if the credit is particularly great in the back, is the headquarters of the Astral Army embarrassed not to mention my military rank and some treatment?

Of course, this is very important for those who are fully mixed under the astral army system, and for Gu Hang, the cost performance is not very high.

Even if he soared in rank and held a high position, it was impossible for him to abandon his basic plate and run to the circle of the Mixed Star Realm Army.

But just like if he mixed into the Imperial Psionic Cultivator and became a high-ranking figure in the Dragon Eagle Star Domain Cult, he would get a series of benefits under this system, if Gu Hang was in the Astral Army, relying on the development and growth of the Angry Bear Legion, and mixed with a higher status, then there would also be direct benefits.

For example, the Angry Bear Legion may be expanded - not from the Angry Owl Star, but directly from the Ministry of Military Affairs to expand his army, sending soldiers and equipment.

That's true of all the Astral Legions.

When the time comes, Gu Hang will be equal to prostituting an army for nothing. The money for raising the army can be reimbursed by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

And if you want to talk about more direct benefits, then there is.

War, there will be spoils.

The Angry Bear Legion is a strict inheritance of the habits of the Alliance army, and it is not allowed to loot, and the soldiers must hand over all the loot and ownerless things looted after the war.

In the Alliance, these things will eventually go to the treasury, and the soldiers will receive battle allowances, rank increases due to battle exploits, and generous pensions for the dead and wounded......

But on the battlefield of Koroga, there was no such thing. The highest level of surrender is the clan level.

The demons killed by the troops in battle are valuable, and the corresponding logistics troops will dispose of the biological materials left over from the body after the demonic soul has been expelled. The logistics unit collects a part of the commission, and the rest goes to the corps.

In addition, when some areas were recovered, many people died, and the property left by the local residents also belonged to the legions.

Li Kexi is a little at a loss, he has never encountered this kind of thing before!

He thought that he would hand it over to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and he discussed it with the people of the Dragon Eagle Legion, but it turned out that it was not necessary.

Later, after consulting Gu Hang, the corps commander made a decision, and the money was collected as the property of the legion and all of it was lent to the alliance government.

The Coalition government will establish a 'Legion Foundation' for bereavement, perks for the Legionnaires, ammunition supplies, logistical maintenance, and a host of other things. Of course, it can also be diverted for other purposes, but interest will be paid to the foundation anyway.

The left hand is down and the right hand belongs to yes.

However, the perks and extra pensions are a great help to the morale of the Angry Bears.

The Union army never had to worry about morale. On the one hand, the soldiers who have been systematically trained naturally have a very high degree of organization. They are strong-willed, disciplined, and have high morale. On the other hand, the Alliance Army is a force of faith, which used to fight mainly on the territory of the Angry Owl, and the political commissars in the army have always emphasized to the soldiers that they are fighting for the future of the entire planet and for the happiness of people all over the world.

However, when it came to extraterrestrial warfare, this belief was more or less challenged.

Although the commissars will come up with two other sets of statements:

One is loyalty to the Governor, which is okay and is recognized by all the soldiers.

The second is to change 'for our world' to 'for all mankind'. However, this effect is not very good.

The former is grand enough, and many people recognize this belief only after experiencing themselves, their families, relatives and friends, and even seeing the great changes on the entire planet.

But the latter is even grander and more ethereal than the former.

What's even more terrifying is that there is no change. They have been fighting for half a year, but to be honest, has the situation in Fino City ever improved?

No, it's getting worse and worse.

The soldiers accept that they are fighting for humanity, but the acceptance is not high, and the situation of no results and no changes makes them feel a little frustrated.

At this time, higher allowances, better treatment, and this actual material wealth reward have become a part of the compensation.

Gu Hang also made it clear in this meeting with Li Kexi that he would fight for another half a year at most, and he would send the other half of the Angry Bear Legion from the Angry Owl Star to rotate with them. Let the soldiers who have been fighting for a long time have the opportunity to go back to rest, reunite with their families, and enjoy life.

……

The benefits and benefits that the Angry Bear Legion has gained by fighting here, whether direct or indirect; Whether it is prestige, politics, or economy, Li Kexi and the soldiers under his command need to fight the battlefield.

It was bought with the blood of the warriors.

After half a year of fighting, the seven divisions and brigades were already dissatisfied. In total, more than 13,000 fighters were killed or wounded, more than 8,000 were killed, and more than 5,000 were seriously wounded and were determined to be unable to return to the troops.

Gu Hang went to the field hospital and comforted the wounded.

He promised to return to his hometown with the wounded and the remains of the martyrs. They will receive a solemn funeral and a generous pension.

Gu Hang did what he said.

The more than 5,000 soldiers who had withdrawn from the battle sequence, plus more than 5,000 corpses that could be retracted, were sent to the starport of Korojia through the logistics system of the Astral Army, and transported to the armed merchant ship of the Gu Clan Merchant House that was about to carry Gu Hang away.

In addition to this, there are other people in the same company.

An investigation team, a total of about twenty people, was mainly from the Star Domain Investigation Team, and the Investigation Team of the Celestial Government sent three observers.

There is also a team of investors. Many rich people, because of the involvement in the Gallardo disappearance, can't leave Koroga, but they can send some investment advisers and henchmen to go with Governor Gu to see if his planet is really worth investing.

In addition, it is also the largest group of 210,000 refugees who are to be 'evacuated' to the angry star and loaded into a transport ship that accompanies them.
