Theoretically speaking, the position of the governor of the Black Arrow Star is now under the control of Gu Hang.

The current 'governor' is Nes Luhmann, and this king is indeed under Gu Hang's control at the moment. Not only was his brain controlled by Gu Hang, but the country's military, political, and economic affairs were also controlled by the alliance.

However, this kind of control does not represent the Alliance's control over the entire Black Arrow Star.

Nes Luhmann's position as governor comes from Black Arrow's peculiar political ecology: the King's Council.

The person elected by the King's Council will temporarily serve as the Governor of Black Arrow until the next election.

After the last opening of the King's Council, the Kingdom of Luhmann, which had been on the wrong side in the previous war and had been violently beaten by the army of the Angry Owl, deservedly lost its satrapship.

According to Black Arrow's political tradition, Nest should have stepped down as soon as the previous tax collection was completed.

But he was in the king's council and did not leave office. This is reflected in the fact that he did not go to the process of submitting the resignation and the election of the next governor to the Singapore government.

In the past of Black Arrow, there have been people who have done this, but the end is quite not good.

The reason for this is that, in essence, the governor of this planet is still the entity of the 'Council of Kings'.

The King's Council itself certainly did not possess power, but the meaning of what it represented was crucial. Seven of the most powerful nations on the planet, with a small scattered vote, discuss big things in this council. One of the most important things is that everyone can find a way to collect and pay the imperial taxes that their respective countries have to pay, so as to maintain the stability of the entire planet.

Dominate the position of governor and don't hand it over?

It's never about being a governor to dominate the planet, it's about being able to dominate the planet to become a true governor.

Regardless of how this ability to dominate comes from.

Obviously, the current Ness Luhmann, or the alliance behind him, has not been able to dominate the Black Arrows. The other kings on that planet were not convinced.

After Nes Luhmann refused to take over the governorship, they took it upon themselves to elect a new governor in the King's Council. This man is the number one kingdom on the Black Arrow Star, Pampos.

They have begun to mobilize their own connections in an attempt to gain imperial recognition.

Of course, the influence of these sub-kings in the political arena is too weak, not to mention the star field government, even if it is the star region government, there is no way to go, not to mention that the current star district political situation is in chaos.

Their connections in the past were mainly in the Gu Clan's trading house and the Mechanic Sect in the Star Zone. But the former is now simply on the side of Nes Luhmann, and they have found it, and the people in the Gu family firm are basically persuading them to accept their fate; As for the latter, the influence of the Mecha Sect in the Pegasus Star Zone is extremely low, and it is more like the territory of the State Religion. The organization is well-organized, the influence is relatively large, and there is even a headquarters of the Sisters Society.

In short, if they engage in a political line, they will be crushed to death.

But they apparently didn't expect much from this either.

While they are active, their actions within the planet are more important.

They have declared that they refuse to remit imperial taxes to the Kingdom of Luhmann. The Pampos kingdom was responsible for the work related to taxation and received almost the remaining 85% of the state support.

The annual imperial tax of the Black Arrow Star is 40 million tax coins.

This pit will definitely not be filled by the Luman Kingdom itself, and Gu Hang will not be able to smash the pot and sell iron to carry it, and it will inevitably have to be the entire Black Arrow Star.

So what to do?

There is only war.

Actually, there has already been a fight.

It's just that it's not Gu Hang's side who did it.

Over there, the king of Pampos, after being elected as the new 'governor', gathered an army and issued a warning to the Kingdom of Luman, and at the same time sent a copy of the warning to the Gu Merchant House through the Star Whispering Tower.

Their letter of warning to the Kingdom of Luhmann was very harsh, accusing Nes Luman of being a traitor, and enumerating nine deadly sins;

But the warning to the Gu family, the wording is still relatively euphemistic, which roughly means that everyone has been doing business for many years, and the relationship has always been relatively friendly, and the Black Arrow Star is very poor, and there is nothing worth obtaining here for the Gu family to obtain by means other than commerce; At the same time, the Black Arrows are also very heroic, and if they had to take away what they had, they would fight to the end at all costs.

This can be regarded as an indication of attitude, but Gu Hang ignored them.

Seeing this, the army assembled by the King's Council entered the territory of the Kingdom of Luman.

However, their determination to fight was obviously not sufficient, and their logistical supply capabilities did not allow them to actually assemble a very large and elite army to invade the Kingdom of Luman on a large scale.

Among them, even the Knight Titans, there is even only one from the Kingdom of Pampos.

The newly established army of the Luman Kingdom was certainly no match for them, after all, the Luman people didn't even have many Sentinel Mechs now.

But then the Black Arrow Army was dispatched.

Under the fierce assault of the armored forces, the king's coalition army was beaten to the ground. If they hadn't withdrawn quickly, even that Knight Titan would have been left behind.

Perbow's army gave the Black Arrow people a little bit of a shock to the alliance.

But at this point, it was only a repulsion of the enemy's attack, and it was far from being able to convince the kings.

They did not have the courage to regroup their troops to attack the Luman Kingdom on a large scale, so they could only adopt the mode of economic blockade and small-scale border intrusion and continue hostile behavior.

Of course, they can't hand over the imperial tax to the Luman Kingdom.

This is still a bit tricky for Gu Hang, but it is actually within his expectations. In the case of instructing Nes Luman not to give up the Black Arrow Governor, the reaction of the other countries on the Black Arrow Star was originally predictable.

This thing can't be good in the first place, and a war must be needed to end all this.

Gu Hang had the intention of annexing the entire Black Arrow Star, and those other kingdoms were not muddy, of course they would resist.

This situation is not so much an accident as it is simply caused by Gu Hang.

He was ready for a fight.

Especially now that the war in the Angry Owl has almost completely subsided, the Alliance has enough strength to deal with this war.

Moreover, Gu Hang is also confident enough to win.

With a population of 400 million and 55 million new immigrants, it seems that there is a huge difference in size between the two places, but in fact it is not.

The gap between the two in terms of industrial capacity and mobilization capacity is too great.

The main military strength of the major kingdoms of Black Arrow Star, that is, those kingdom armies, supports the militia level in terms of quality, and it is very different from the regular army units of the alliance in all aspects. Not to mention organizational discipline and tactics, just in terms of hardware equipment, they don't even have the G series of rifles, many of which are 'native guns and earth cannons' produced by their respective kingdoms, and the range, power, and accuracy are all worrying.

The only pieces of equipment that can be considered sophisticated and can make the Alliance's armies look up to each other are the Sentinel Mechs and the Knight Titans. However, the former showed mediocre performance on the frontal battlefield, and the latter were too few in number.

And what's worse is that the high-tech equipment of the kingdom army all depends on foreign trade, and the way of this foreign trade is the Gu family firm. This made their ability to continue warfare very weak, and as soon as the fight started, as soon as the Gu Clan's trading house blocked the trade routes, their army itself would collapse after a long time.

However, despite the war, Gu Hang felt that the chances of victory were very high, and even the losses he might suffer would not be very high. However, he also had to face his own dilemma:

In the name of war.

Of course, he can directly declare all the other kingdoms on the Black Arrow Star as rebels in the name of not paying imperial taxes, and then launch a request for help to quell the rebellion from the Astral Army, the Angry Bear Army. In the name of responding to the Astral Army, the Alliance Army went to Black Arrow Star on a large scale with the Raging Bear Legion to carry out the 'counterinsurgency' mission.

This whole set of logic is smooth and compliant.

However, it is a bit too shameless and forceful.

After all, the governor's right to rule is guaranteed by the empire, but there are local disputes below. For example, the King's Council has always supported the election of governors, depending on the political landscape of each planet. The King's Council of Black Arrow is also a system that has been reported and approved by the Imperial Government.

What's more, Black Arrow has been operating under such a political system for thousands of years. No matter what kind of name Gu Hang is in, and others are not blind and stupid, how can they not see that you are doing the annexation?

If it was in the past, Gu Hang would not dare to do this.

Although this sea of stars is a world of the jungle, under the human race, under the unified government of the empire, it will be too much criticism to do so, and it is very, very easy to be interfered with by other political forces and fail under external interference in one of these steps.

Moreover, even if it is successful, there is a lot of aftermath work that is particularly difficult to do, and if you can't eat it, you have to spit it out.

After all, Gu Hang still has to be mixed up in the imperial system.

The main reason why he can do it now is that the political situation in the entire Tianma Star District has been completely chaotic, and Gu Hang can take advantage of the chaos.

In addition, it is precisely because of the chaos of the political situation that it was easier to obtain things that previously required a lot of exchange of interests and political compromises.

In the name of the Gu family, Gu Hang also issued a notice to the two major forces in the current star region that he was going to Black Arrow Star to quell the rebellion.

This almost announced that Gu Hang wanted to annex the Black Arrow Star.

For these two forces, there was a core thing around Gu Hang fighting for before this.

That's about Blackbird Heavy Industries, an asset controlled by the Fasters family, and the Iron Man Rebellion on Raging Owl.

When the Faches family sent the Astral Army to the Angry Owl Star to quell the Iron Man Rebellion, Major General Cai Minjin took over the task to enter Blackbird City first, collect and destroy the relevant clues.

For them, it makes sense.

Indeed, if we from the Facher family have caused you trouble, then I have sent a million astral troops to solve this trouble for you, and then we should not owe each other.

But it is clear that the actual situation depends on the specific means. Cai Minjin couldn't make the first move into Blackbird City, and finally let the alliance ransack it first.

Ficher was a thief, they didn't know what was there, and Gu Hang hadn't said it, but ...... Isn't that scary?

At this critical juncture, they didn't want this mine to explode.

On the contrary, on the other hand, little Peders really hoped that Gu Hang could hand over this thunder to them, so that they would have a weapon in their hands that could attack the Faches family.

Not to mention how deadly it was, but linking the Iron Man Rebellion, which was originally characterized as an individual act, to the entire Facher family, would obviously cause them a lot of trouble.

And here, Gu Hang also has the capital to exchange with the two parties.

Black Arrow Star was originally just a small place on the edge, with a population of 400 million, not as many as half of Koroga's nest; There are no abundant specialties, just an agricultural planet with a feudal system, which is really not critical.

Moreover, if Gu Hang wants to be there, he will also pick it up by himself, and he doesn't need any special help from others, he just needs their nod.

So, after some exchanges, Fastes finally agreed and would not embarrass Gu Hang in this matter. As long as he can calm the situation on Black Arrow before the next Imperial tax is paid, then they will acquiesce in the matter.

And after Gu Hang got a satisfactory answer, he quickly gave the other party a reassurance:

"I will never hand over the information of Blackbird Heavy Industries to Pedes Jr. as a weapon to attack Falcis."

……

"I will definitely not hand over the information of Blackbird Heavy Industries to Fastchers, so that they have no worries at all."

Turning his head, Gu Hang also gave little Pei Desi a reassurance.

When Gu Hang heard about it, little Pei Desi was very angry about it. He had been angry at the 'betrayal' of Gu and Fofana before, and now, Gu Hang had not fully met his request, had not given him anything, and it was impossible for him to stand up and identify the Facher family.

But after all, Gu Hang didn't completely throw himself on the other side.

Under the repeated persuasion of the staff and some other cooperative forces, in line with the principle of not getting into a hostile relationship even if he couldn't get the support of the Gu family, at least he didn't get into a hostile relationship, and finally nodded, and his attitude was roughly the same as that of Fastchers.

Don't help, don't make a mess.

That's enough.

After solving the political problem, Gu Hang can finally make a big move.

Army Group Center, half of the Angry Bear Legion in the Raging Owl, and the Immortal Bird Warband...... Gu Hang's confirmed army to participate in the battle began to prepare for departure.

They will take the transport ship mobilized by the Shanggu Clan's Merchant House, board the ship from the Angry Owl Star Harbor, which has been significantly expanded many times, and sail to the Black Arrow Star to embark on the first step of the alliance to conquer the Star Sea.

And in this war, Gu Hang will also personally participate.
