Chapter 383, I don't have a choice
ββ¦β¦ I understand what you say, Mr. Chief. β
"But what I don't understand is, what does this have to do with me?"
"I am the Governor of the Alliance, and there are only four worlds under my jurisdiction, and the three stars of Fastes are not under my jurisdiction, what does the rebellion there have to do with the Alliance? I can't overstep my authority. β
"It is true that there are two Astral Legions under my command, but whether it is the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion or the Raging Bear Legion, they are all subordinate to the Koroga War Zone at the moment. It's true that I'm the commander of the theater, but my theater is only in Koroga, so how can I have the authority to send troops under the theater to fight in another galaxy out of the theater? β
"Space Marine warband? You have to ask the Immortal Bird War Leader, what's the use of asking me? β
"Can't get in touch? I'm sorry, Mr. Chief, but I haven't been able to reach the Martins Captain lately. The Alliance does not have jurisdiction over a single Space Marine warband, we only have a good working relationship. Whether they answer the call or not, I can't decide at all. β
"I know your concerns, and I believe me, too. The traitorous behaviour of the Falchers is outrageous, and I would never have dared to imagine anyone having the audacity to do such a disloyal act. They have stepped on the bottom line, and their rebellion is an indisputable fact and a sin that must be washed away! The alliance also made a serious condemnation of this, and I also publicly shouted to Minnick, asking him to surrender unconditionally and accept the trial he deserves! β
"Even, I am personally willing to donate a million tax coins to the Star Sector as my indignation at this!"
"I've done my best, Mr. Chief, and I hope you can resolve the matter as soon as possible and wash away the shame!"
After listening to what Gu Hang said, Martinelli's face was solemn.
He was thinking about the wording, thinking about how to pull Gu Hang to this front.
However, little Pei Desi beside him couldn't hold back at the moment.
"Gu Hang, Governor Gu, Commander Gu, just say it, what do you want to be willing to come to quell the rebellion?"
"I said it so clearly, don't you understand? It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, and I don't meet the laws and regulations. β
"Don't talk about these hypocritical remarks here!" Little Pedes said eagerly: "What do you want?" We have half of the three stars of Falchers, you take one, we take ......"
"Enough!" Gu Hang opened his mouth and scolded, "What kind of arrogant words are this? How is it that the territory of the empire can be distributed at will like private property in your mouth? Clerk, little Pedes has a clear record of what he said, and there is no difference in the words. β
Little Pedes was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, and he opened his mouth to scold, but before the words could be said at all, he was pulled by Martinelli.
"I'm sorry, Governor Gu, please wait a moment."
After saying this, Martinelli temporarily muted the communication, and then turned his head to glare at little Pedes: "Do you know how much trouble you just said will cause us?" β
Little Pei Desi said disdainfully: "What trouble can there be?" β
Martinelli really has a headache. The situation is already so difficult and troublesome, and it turns out that you have to bring a pig teammate with you. Everyone said that the Pedes brothers in the Pegasus Star Zone complemented each other, and after experiencing it personally, Martinelli realized that Pedes had at least three times the skill to offset the negative influence of Pedes Jr.!
He really regretted that he shouldn't have come to the troubled waters of the Pegasus Star Zone.
But what else can I do?
He took a deep breath and said, "You, get out." β
"What?"
"You get me out! From now on, when I'm down to business, you're not allowed to say a word! "Martinelli doesn't want to tolerate it anymore.
"Why are you talking to me like that!?"
"Just your stupidity!"
"You came up with the plan to oppress Fastes, and now that something is wrong, what do you mean by being angry at me?"
"Yes, indeed, so now I'm trying to remedy it, please, I can't help at least don't make a mess, okay?"
ββ¦β¦ Okay, okay, I'm not going to speak, I'm just here to listen, okay? β
ββ¦β¦β
In the end, Martinelli did not further expand the conflict, and tolerated Peders Jr. to continue to stay here, only with an ear.
After reconnecting the communication, he first apologized, and then began to continue to negotiate with Gu Hang.
Gu Hang laughed and asked if little Pei Desi had been kicked out, which provoked the Flying Wing Star Governor who was sitting next to him to clench his fists.
But anyway, this guy still remembered the agreement with Martinelli just now, and shut up and didn't speak.
Martinelli is still very proficient in political negotiations, but he can't help but run into a Gu Hang who can't get into oil and salt.
Between the words, no matter what Martinelli says, whether it is to provide convenience or political support to relieve Gu Hang's worries, Gu Hang has turned over and over that the war zone is not covered and the alliance is not covered.
Martinelli certainly understood what that meant.
In fact, what little Pei Desi said was not wrong at all, Gu Hang's mind that he wanted the three stars of Fastes had been clearly placed on the table. Either you don't want to find a way to get the Koroga War Zone to wrap the Fast Star into it, or let the Fast Star plan into the alliance.
In fact, there is no difference between these two conditions and the final result. Even if it is the former, it is just a war zone, but when Gu Hang actually controls the three stars of Fast through military force, it will be sooner or later that they join the alliance.
However, knowing is knowing, he can't promise these two conditions so easily.
Fast gave Gu Hang three stars, so what did he toss in the past two years?
There is no benefit at all, and it makes a fuss.
But other than that, he didn't have much chips left.
Why don't you give the winged star out?
After hanging up the communication, Martinelli drank all the wine in his hand in one go, and then sat down with a sad face.
"I can talk now, right?"
"Of course." Martinelli hesitated for a moment, feeling that he still had to ease up with little Peders, "I'm sorry just now, I'm just a little anxious, I hope you don't take it to heart." β
Little Pedes's face was still unhappy, but he still restrained his temper.
He said seriously: "I think I can give it to him." β
"What?"
"If he wants Falcis, give it all."
Martinelli stared at little Peders, instinctively feeling that this guy was talking nonsense again.
But little Pei Des was very serious, and added: "We don't have a choice, right?" β
"If you can't give all three, what is the point of giving them all?"
"I can hear it all, he has to have all three, not one."
"In that case, why don't I talk to the Falcis? The end result is ...... anyway."
"You know that's impossible."
Martinelli stopped talking, he did know.
Pedes Jr. continued: "Moreover, it is not without chance. Faches Samsung gave it to him, and it was not so easy to get it. The Faches family has been running their nest for countless generations, and the tens of billions of people and the industrial base with a strong degree of development allow them to raise hundreds of millions of troops at the limit; The construction around the three planets includes an anti-orbital strike system, a starfort fortress, and a planetary active defense mechanism......"
Martinelli was thoughtful.
And next, what little Pei Desi said made him feel that his evaluation of this guy just now was a little too mean:
"Gu Hang wants to take down Fastes, it's not easy, it's bound to be a river of blood. Our opportunity lies in letting them collide, collide with corpses all over the field, and collide with a lose-lose situation! β
β¦β¦
"A river of blood? What are the corpses all over the field? Who are you going to lose? β
Gu Hang looked incredulous, looking at his military chief adviser, Major General Yan Fangxu.
Yan Fangxu was also a little confused.
Just now, he reported to the Governor General about the war plans made by the General Staff of the Union.
This strategy, in general, is based on the fact that the Pegasus fleet is still in the star, and it is necessary to participate in this war.
Despite this, they still can't control the orbit of any one planet, but if they concentrate all their forces around one planet, they can probably suppress it. If it is required to destroy all the orbital forces of a planet, it may have to pay the price of one cruiser and multiple destroyers, and the Pegasus fleet will definitely not agree.
However, the Pegasus fleet can completely lock down a single planet. Although the Falchers had some troop carriers, it was obviously impossible to break through the naval blockade and thus provide interplanetary support.
On this basis, Yan Fangxu will focus on a single planet. The primary target is the main planet of Fastces 1. With the Navy suppressing the Star Fort and ground anti-orbit firepower, the Alliance's elite forces will force a landing operation in the Arctic Circle, the weakest defense of the Falces 1 orbit.
The goal of the first phase is to destroy the orbital defenses around the perimeter, establish a safe landing ground and defend it, and try to attract as many enemies as possible.
The goal of the second stage is to open a second landing ground behind enemy lines, and to hold on, and strive to fight a two-sided encirclement war of annihilation, so as to destroy as much as possible the living forces of the Fasters.
After all the first and second phases were successful, the best result was that they eliminated enough enemies and briefly destroyed the living force of the Falchers in the Northern Continent, and on the premise that the enemy could not gather for the time being, the whole army moved south and directly captured the planetary capital of Fastces 1, striving to make Fastes 1 completely surrender.
Of course, the strategy submitted by Yan Fangxu is not simply the method and goal, but also the troops, materials, tactical plans and many other details to be invested at each stage.
Every step in this plan is full of difficulties, but there is hope that it can be achieved. Yan Fangxu's overall goal is to be able to take down Fastchers quickly and steadily, rather than falling into a long-term tug-of-war and stalemate. In that case, people will sit on their own soil, backed by four billion people on the planet, but the Alliance's supplies and reinforcements will all have to be transported to the Fast Chase system by sea and across two astral tunnels, and the cost is much higher than that of the other party.
But no matter what, no matter what kind of plan is made, Yan Fangxu and the officers of the staff he led have the same conclusion: this will be a bloody battle.
Although they are not facing any dangerous demons, they are just planetary defenders. However, the number of enemies will be a very big problem, and the brutality of the landing operation to the attacking side is another big problem.
No matter how this battle is fought, the losses are inevitable, and they will be incomparably huge.
Because of this, when Yan Fangxu reported to the governor, he couldn't help but use words like rivers of blood and corpses all over the field.
But it was clear that this caused Governor Gu's displeasure.
"Obviously, if this battle is going to be fought to this extent, it proves that we have lost."
"Sacrifice tens of millions of warriors, pay untold amounts of money, and reap three worlds that need to be rebuilt after the war...... I don't even dare to imagine that picture, old Yan, do you dare to think about it? β
ββ¦β¦β
Yan Fangxu didn't know how to answer this question.
"We need a smarter way, and I'm prepared for that."
"So...... Your Excellency the Governor, are you going to give up on this plan? β
"No, if it really comes to this point, there must be a record. However, the next job for you and your staff is to come up with a strategy to take over the three planets of Fatchers. β
"Take over?" Yan Fangxu carefully confirmed the words he heard.
"Yes, take over."
As he spoke, Gu Hang stood up and looked into the distance.
"As your plan says, Falchers are three well-defended civilizations. But what's the best way to conquer a strong fortress? Breaking it from within, of course. As it happens, we have been preparing for this for a year, and the Falchers are not as united as they claim. That's our chance. β
"Now, it's just a matter of waiting for our beloved Sector Leader to figure it out. And I, in the slightest, have no doubt about it. β
Gu Hang said this confidently, because he had seen through Martinelli's current predicament.
In the current situation, Martinelli has four main demands for the resolution of the Faches rebellion, the importance of which is in order.
Don't let the star field make a move = guarantee the imperial tax of the Falchers system> destroy the Falchers family, severely punish the rebellion > fine.
The first two items are of equal importance, and this is the lining. It's not that the star field is incapable of solving the problem, but if the star field government wants to solve it, it will have to transfer the fleet from the front line of the Iron Tooth War and the astral army back. This will cost a lot of money, not to mention, resulting in a defensive hole on the front line, and being beaten down by the greenskins for a few worlds, then the loss will be even greater.
The same is true of the imperial tax, and the three stars of Ficher add up to six billion tax coins a year, and they cannot be lost.
These two things had to be saved, and if it didn't work, Martinelli would wait to be buried with Falces, who would die a little earlier than Falchers.
Destroying the Fastces family and severely punishing the rebellion is a face. The dignity of the empire must be guaranteed, and the rebellion that dares to trample on the bottom line must be eliminated.
If you only keep the 'linako', it won't work. The chaos was made by Martinelli, and if the chaos is only quelled, and Fastes is still at large, and even continues to control the planet, then it is equivalent to losing face to the star field government in vain. When the time comes, Martinelli will not die, and his future will be ruined.
Fines, this thing is an additional income. After getting the lining and face, Martinelli can probably keep his position, and if he can't get a fine, forget it.
On this basis, Martinelli has no basis for negotiations with the Fastces family.
The Ficchers family will not talk to Martinelli either. They are also aware of the priority issue above. The goal they want to achieve is to keep the inside for the empire, and let Martinelli bear the loss of face. When the time comes, the statement released by Minnick will not be a fart, but the truth, and Martinelli will be the rebel who persecuted the loyal subjects of the empire to make up for the face of the empire.
On this basis, Gu Hang had no doubt that Martinelli would eventually compromise with himself and obediently use his own connections, connections, and means to seek dominance over the three stars of Fast for the alliance.
The head of the star sector had no other choice.
β¦β¦
Although he was sure of it, everything came faster than Gu Hang imagined.
Only eight days later, Gu Hang, who was in the Governor's Palace at No. 3 Coroga, met Martinelli.
The head of the star sector came to Korojia in person, met with Gu Hang, and announced the latest order from the higher government.
The Koroga War Zone has since expanded into the 'Pegasus War Zone'.
Commander Gu Hang can deploy military forces in the star region, including the Dragon Eagle 3 Legionβbut this point is actually not much of a scale expansion, and in essence, it is still the power in Gu Hang's hands. What has been added is the remaining part of the Pegasus fleet, which is once again under the command of the theater commander.
But in fact, Gu Hang never counted on any additional military force to help.
The Pegasus Sector can't come up with anything extra.
And what Gu Hang values most is actually already obtained.
After the war zone included all the three stars of Falcis, Gu Hang had full authority to deal with the three stars of Fasters.
This is clearly shown in the document that Martinelli brought.
After saying this, and handing over the appointment documents that had been signed and sealed by the Star Domain Government and the Star District Government to Gu Hang, Martinelli left, and had no intention of communicating with Gu Hang at all.
Gu Hang didn't keep him.
For Gu Hang, he had already obtained what he wanted.
The war machine of the Alliance, from this moment, was blatantly activated.
The first to be mobilized was the Gu Family Trading Bank.
They received a large number of war ordersβthe money was to be paid by the Imperial Military Departmentβand a number of merchant fleets were mobilized. These merchant ships and transport ships will take on the task of transporting the alliance's troops and strategic materials.
The Pegasus fleet has also been dispatched to the Facher Star Sector. After the Navy passes through the Astral Tunnel from Wingwing to the Falceth system, it will lock off the three stars of Falcis. They will not rush to attack planets with well-equipped defenses, but they will surround each of the three planets from a distance, completely isolating them.
Those little sampans of the Facher family can only honestly nest in the starport, and there is no way to come out again.
And half a month later, the war preparations of the alliance were completed.
As the main force, the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion has almost all boarded the ship.
After eight years away from home, they are returning to their hometown.
Many of them have mixed feelings.
Eight years!
Although, from the moment they became the Astral Army, they were told that their future journey was a sea of stars. However, almost all of them, especially the recruits who have only been in the army for a few years, have never left their home planet at all.
When they came to Koroga to fight, they thought it would be just a war that wouldn't last long, but who would have thought that they would stay for eight years.
There is not much to say about the dead, many of them are still alive, and many of them have gone from youth to middle age, getting married and having children.
Getting married and having children, this may seem a bit strange to the warriors who have been called to join the Astral Army, but it is indeed a fact that has happened to them.
This stems from a strategy by Gu Hang.
After consulting with Hans, he allowed the Astral Army soldiers of the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion to take a certain amount of rest during Koroga's military administration.
And during the rotation, the soldiers met local women, developed a relationship, or traded for money, which was already allowed. When the Astral Army is deployed outside, there is always some way to relieve the stress of the soldiers, especially since most of the Astral Army will be soldiers for a lifetime.
Discipline is discipline, but human nature cannot be erased. Alcohol, cigarettes, sexual ...... It must be unavoidable. The first two can be classified as normal military supplies, and as for the third party, the soldiers themselves come, but only if it is legal. The army is disciplined.
However, this is the norm. And what Gu Hang did was only to go one step further on this foundation and give those Faches Astral Army who had left their hometowns a more stable environment - family.
Have a wedding that is not luxurious, but full of ceremonies; have children of their own; You can spend it with your family during the rotation......
Although the Dragon Eagle Legion does not belong to the sequence of the alliance army, under Gu Hang's instructions, their partners and children can still enjoy the treatment of the alliance's military dependents. It means that there is an additional allowance, which means that you can join the alliance system as soon as possible to obtain a rank, and it is a relatively high level compared to ordinary people.
This makes the soldiers ideal companions for the local women of Koroga.
And now, these soldiers of the Dragon Eagle Legion are indeed Facches, but their families, wives, and children are all in Koroga, which accounts for 30% of the total number of the army; Within the legion, the proportion of 15% of the newly recruited soldiers is simply Koroga themselves.
They are the Astral Army, in the name of the Empire, to crusade against rebellion, even if that rebellion is their homeland.
Several factors are superimposed, how can it not make these Ficher people feel complicated?
They couldn't help but complain, damn the Falchers family, why did they rebel?
They really damn it.
