Chapter 337, Expansion of the Army
In Gu Hang's view, Koroga 3 is now a world full of despair.
Let him be the Governor of Koroga?
That would be the equivalent of having him jump into this dung pit with his bare hands and purify it.
It's too difficult.
For him, Koroga has one role at this stage: to suck the population.
In the past year, the Alliance has fished more than eight million people from there and migrated to Raging Owl. This was obtained through the Support Act, through arms production and military support. The alliance has paid a lot for this, and of course, compared to the gains of the population, it must still make a lot of money.
The population absorbed from Koroga has brought the population of the Raging Star to more than 65 million.
As long as you can keep fishing for people, Gu Hang doesn't want to touch anything else for the time being.
Even the Black Arrow Star, which has a population of 400 million, almost suffers from indigestion when it eats, let alone Koroga, which has a population of 40 billion.
Gu Hang has no ability to transform that extremely populous planet into what he wants now.
What's more, the big benefit of Koroga No. 3 is something you can get if you want to?
It took so much effort for Falchers to get the position of governor in his hand, and Gu Hang went to grab it, which would be equivalent to a frontal war.
There is also a political faction that wants to get the so-called 'parliamentarian' faction represented by Martinelli and Peders Jr. to support him, but the key is how to do this?
This so-called 'parliamentary faction' refers to a political faction within the Dragon Eagle Star Domain. Its main core is the star field government, and its concept is to fight for the position of the head of each star region and arch the party center of the satellite field government.
The previous head of Peders was a product of this plan.
Immediately after Peters' death, the parliamentarian faction chose another Ivan Martinelli from the party to continue to hold the position of head of the important star sector of Pegasus.
But just getting the position of head is only the first step.
Why did Pedes say the same thing in the Pegasus Star Zone before? Because the governor of Koroga and the winging star are his men.
To put it bluntly, whether the head of the star sector speaks or not depends on the number of governors who support him. A leader who has no one to support is just an ornament.
Now Martinelli is not easy to speak, because the three planets of Falces don't listen to him, and Koroga doesn't listen to him.
The core of the parliamentarian faction has always been to defeat Ivan Fastes and regain Koroga.
Can Gu Hang be a parliamentary dog?
Obviously impossible, if he really went to great lengths to stabilize Koroga's problems, it was for his own 'alliance', not to be a thug of the parliamentary faction.
There is a fundamental contradiction.
If Gu Hang wants to completely turn Korojia into his own thing, then he will stand on the opposite side of the two sides that are now fighting around Korojia.
I can't figure it out.
These thoughts turned around in his heart a few times, and Gu Hang basically broke off his mind in this regard.
Of course, Gu Hang didn't directly open his mouth and refused.
He smiled and asked, "Then if Koroga really joins the alliance, will it be able to be zoned?" β
"I told you, that's not realistic."
"Now the state of Koroga, my army has been fighting in it, I know very well. It's really rotten there, and every two years you have to pay eight billion dollars in imperial taxes, and Koroga can't hold it. β
"Isn't that what a great man from heaven needs to do to save the world? You've already saved the Raging Star, and you're saving the Black Arrow Star, so let's have another Koroga. β
"I'm nowhere near the level of a great man." Gu Hang refused to wear a top hat, "Koroga's situation is also completely different from that of the Angry Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star. Unless the Star Domain government can fully support me, make Koroga theater, and give me full support to let me do it for a few years, there will be no way to solve the problems there at all. β
When it came to the strength of support, Lois stopped talking.
If you can give so much support, what else do you want to do?
With this support, given to Ivan Falchers, and with his own family behind him, can't he solve the problem?
Gu Hang saw through Lou Yisi's thoughts.
He didn't think Ivan Falchers was capable of that.
But he just smiled and didn't argue much about it.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Hang still decided to tell some of the truths in his heart: "Ms. Loys, in my opinion, there are many bleeding wounds in the Star Domain, which is true. But the problems must be solved one by one, from small to large, from the critical to the edge. Koroga is such a place, it's relatively small, but it's critical enough. Instead of dragging this wound to continue to fester, for the sake of the so-called overall situation, it is better to make the following efforts to solve this place first. Dragged on, Koroga's problems continued to worsen, and that was the biggest damage to the overall situation. β
"The Star Domain Government also knows this." Lois said this sentence and did not say anything more.
Gu Hang also understands so far.
People are just perfunctory and don't really care about their own suggestions.
He tacitly didn't say anything more.
Lo Yisi also knew Gu Hang's thoughts, knowing that he had no intention of taking over Koroga No. 3, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
However, it is not a special disappointment.
This matter could only be regarded as a whim after she saw the changes in the Black Arrow Star and the Raging Owl Star, not a decision from the Star Domain government.
If Gu Hang agreed, she might have put some effort into pushing it, but if she didn't agree, then forget it.
If you really want to think about it, what the Faches family can't solve on the field, Gu Hang, who has a shallow foundation, will definitely be able to solve it?
Lois did not say any more about this, but instead told him about another matter: "Although you are not very willing to be the governor of Koroga, you still have to shoulder some responsibilities for the affairs there. After all, you have another identity, the commander of an astral legion. Your Raging Bear Legion will expand at least three to five times in the next few years......"
Seeing that Gu Hang seemed to be about to speak, Lo Yisi waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't be busy refusing, in fact, there is no room for refusal." This was initiated within the Astral Military system, and was approved by the Ministry of Military Affairs in response to the relevant requirements. No one is causing you any trouble, simply because your army is doing very well on Koroga 3, and the commanders of the Eagle Legion want to increase the size of your legion; Governor Koroga has also applied to increase the size of your troops. β
Gu Hang scratched his head, it sounded like this, there was really no room for refusal.
"Expand the number of troops and equipment, as well as logistical supplies......
Loys immediately said, "Don't worry, everything will follow the normal Astral Army's procedures. β
Gu Hang was really relieved.
He smiled and said, "How long can you stay in the Pegasus Zone?" β
"About six or seven days."
"That should be in time, I hope to invite you to my engagement ceremony."
"Engagement ceremony?" Loys said with some surprise, "I've heard rumors before, but I didn't expect it to be true. Congratulations to you and Major General Elixia. β
"Rejoice and rejoice." Gu Hang responded with a smile.
β¦β¦
For Gu Hang, it is not impossible to expand the Angry Bear Legion, anyway, it is his own troops, which are completely under his control.
However, white prostitution will not work.
Even if it is not for nothing, and then let more alliance troops transfer to the Angry Bear Legion, even if it is to give money, Gu Hang is not very happy. Among them, the core point is that the key work of the alliance for a long time in the next long time is to digest the immigrant population of the Black Arrow Star and the Angry Owl Star, and to take advantage of the skyrocketing population to vigorously engage in production and construction. Gu Hang didn't have so much manpower, and hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of dollars were invested in the construction of the Angry Bear Legion.
But if it's the standard construction process for the Astral Army, then there's nothing wrong with that.
After talking about the expansion of the Angry Bear Legion, Lois left.
She is a busy person, and being able to take the time to come over and meet Gu Hang is really a great deal of face and treatment.
However, after she left, some other members of the team remained.
On the one hand, the tax settlement work on the two planets continues, and on the other hand, it is about the expansion of the Raging Bear Army.
Between the two leaders, the general intention has been negotiated, but if the matter is to be done seriously, doesn't it have to be the people below to negotiate the detailed rules and actually promote it in order to really do it?
Among the team she brought with her, there were people from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
The Ministry of Military Affairs is responsible for the formation and logistics of the Astral Army and the Imperial Navy, although it does not have the right to command the battlefield, nor does it have the responsibility to mobilize troops and issue military missions, but logistics and the formation of a new army are extremely important powers and responsibilities.
The person who talked to the Ministry of Military Affairs was not Gu Hang himself, but the logistics department of the Angry Bear Legion...... Oh, actually, the Raging Bear Legion doesn't have a logistics department, it's just that the logistics bureau of the alliance military and political department has hung a new sign.
According to the bosses on both sides, the Raging Bear Legion will expand to more than 500,000 troops next. At present, the full strength of the Angry Bear Legion is only 180,000. In between, there is a gap of more than 300,000 people.
According to the army building mechanism of the Angry Bear Legion, the newly expanded 300,000 people were finally negotiated and 30 new divisions and brigades were added according to the military establishment of the alliance.
The newly expanded units, numbered from 73 to 102, include 8 armored composite brigades and 22 infantry divisions. The total strength is 320,000 people, and the total cost is 9 million tax dollars.
Counting the troops before the Raging Bear Legion, the total strength came to 510,000, and the total cost was 13 million tax coins.
The cost of building the army is still secondary, and raising and using the army is also a big consumption. If you maintain a normal intensity of fighting, you will have to spend about a year as much as the cost of building an army; And if the combat intensity is relatively high, then the price will not be capped. After all, on some high-intensity battlefields, a division may be wiped out in a day.
But since the Raging Bear Legion has become an astral army, all the expenses of these 500,000 people fighting are a burden for the empire.
The Coalition will provide all logistical support, including equipment and personnel, but these will be paid for by the Empire, and will require orders from the Astral Army or the Ministry of War to the Alliance.
Moreover, with the additional 300,000 soldiers, Gu Hang didn't want the Black Arrow Star or the Angry Owl Star to come out, so the Ministry of Military Affairs had to find a way to transfer manpower from other places.
There are a lot of human taxes in the tax fleet, and more importantly, Koroga 3 is the place with the largest number of people.
However, Koroga could not hand over 300,000 qualified soldiersβwith this soldier, he would have already gone to war.
After several tugging and negotiations, the Alliance's military logistics department - oh, it's the logistics department of the Raging Bear Legion - finally generously said that 310,000 regular manpower would be enough, and you can make up the difference for me the rest, and we will figure it out ourselves.
This difference is 1.5 million tax coins. In fact, the training of these soldiers and the training of political commissars are estimated to cost Gu Hang 4,000 points of grace in the future.
To put it bluntly, Gu Hang is equivalent to exchanging 4,000 gifts for 1.5 million tax coins.
In fact, he didn't really want to do this business, but he couldn't help it.
Even if the Ministry of Military Affairs provided him with Astral Army soldiers according to the so-called standard of 10 tax coins per person, Gu Hang would have to train. Although, logically speaking, 10 tax coins per person should be a soldier at the level of the standard Astral Army, theoretically it has reached the level of a T5 level soldier, and there is no need to train.
However, everyone knows the reality.
If you really want to take in those soldiers, a third of them can reach the T5 level, which is not bad, and the rest are at best a few goods.
Anyway, if you want to retrain all of them again, it is better to come directly to ordinary people, as long as you are healthy, the [Bingpai] training system will naturally raise the quality of soldiers to the right level.
It can also save 1.5 million tax dollars.
Of course, this is not compliant.
But compliance is up to people. The bureaucrats of the Ministry of Military Affairs have only seen people scolding them every day for not giving them enough quality soldiers, and for the first time they have seen people asking for low-quality soldiers.
Doesn't that give them a chance to get their hands on it?
In the past, it was quite difficult to find this kind of opportunity, but now this one is too easy to catch.
Of course, the big head has to be given to the alliance, but it's nice to have a little profit.
β¦β¦
The people below are talking about the specific details of the army expansion, Gu Hang naturally doesn't need to be involved, he just needs to take a final look at the report, and the whole situation is about within expectations.
In fact, it won't be long before he leaves his territory for a trip to Winging.
His engagement ceremony was held on the starport of Winging Star.
On the other hand, there is Yelicia.
This marriage, of course, is an out-and-out political marriage. Ms. Wang Qi has been in contact with the Fofana family for a long time and has settled this family business.
This idea comes from Wang Qi's personal experience, and she thinks:
As soon as Gu Hang is old, it's time to get married;
Second, the Fofana family is a good marriage partner, one is a member of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and the other has a very deep influence in the Imperial Navy, and the marriage effect must be good;
Thirdly, in terms of political factions, after the death of Peters, Fofana escaped from the whirlpool of struggle between the 'parliamentarians' and Fasters, and is now a neutral third party, just like Gu.
This third party sounds comfortable and doesn't have to fight with people, but it's actually not easy to be. If one is not good, it will offend both parties at the same time and be splinted.
Neutrals who do not have strength will not be taken seriously; Powerful neutrals will be feared.
But in general, it's better to have strength than not to have strength.
The combination of Gu and Fofana at the level of a neutral third party is a good reinforcement.
Of course, by now, Ms. Wang Qi has completely faced up with her son's status and will not act on her own. Before she promoted this matter, she also fully consulted Gu Hang's opinion.
Gu Hang agreed.
