With a financial balance of more than 5 billion a year, this is certainly a figure that was beyond the reach of the Pegasus Star Zone in the past.

The Pegasus Star Region is indeed rich compared to other surrounding Star Regions, but because of this, it bears a lot of imperial taxes. For example, Corroga, in the past year, half of the four billion imperial taxes had to be capped by human taxes; The three-star fast-growing fast-paced development level is a matter of life and death; The Flying Wing Star is not bad, but with such a developed shipbuilding industry, all the ships built must basically be handed over in order to withstand the tax of level 5 development......

And after the alliance fully took over all the planets in the Pegasus Star Zone, four years have passed, not only can it meet the imperial tax, but also have a balance of five billion, the key is that the living standards of the people in the entire star region have not declined, but have risen.

The changes on the five planets of Fastces, Wings, and Red Arrows may not be much, and people's living standards have not changed significantly; But on Koroga, on the Raging Owl, and on the Black Arrow, the change is not small.

The reason why this can be done is that, on the one hand, after the imperial tax was set four years ago, it will not change again in ten years, and the planet under the rule of the alliance has developed rapidly during this time.

Of course, this cannot be achieved by relying solely on development results.

The core reason is that the system of alliances has greatly reduced the existence of rentier classes such as capitalists and bureaucrats. They still exist in the system of the alliance and play a role, but the excess profits they can get have been greatly reduced and turned into a way of getting results by rank. They will be promoted more easily than the average worker, but much less than they were in the past as exploiters.

Most of the value created by the workers is consumed by the workers themselves, which is the fundamental reason for the significant improvement of people's living standards under the rule of the Union. The second part was eaten directly by the Union government; The rentier class still has a little benefit, after all, the alliance has not banned all the private economy now, but on the whole it must have been greatly reduced.

With both development and the elimination of the middle layer, the alliance has become more direct in the management of the middle and grassroots levels of society and production, and under the dual effect, it has brought about the financial surplus of five billion.

And these financial balances, of course, the alliance will not be in the hands of the miser.

Their usefulness lies in the appropriation of budgets, which are used for the reinvestment of production, which accounts for the majority of the budget.

The second part is spent on military spending. Including army expansion and army maintenance.

The third part is used for the expansion of government spending. Normal government spending is not here, but is included in the cost. This refers to the cost of opening more government agencies. In addition to the cost of opening more institutions, the corresponding maintenance costs will naturally increase, but the maintenance fees will go into the cost.

These three are economic, military, and political construction.

Five billion will be spent in full, there is nothing left behind.

Spend more money now, that's to have more income later.

And two years later, Koroga began to pay taxes for the first time, and the 4 billion tax exemption quota was gone, and Gu Hang hoped that the alliance would still have a financial balance of 5 billion.

This means that in the past two years, the alliance's revenue balance has to increase by another 4 billion. Under the condition of ensuring the growth of people's consumption, the alliance must at least rise from the current output value of 112.3 billion yuan to about 1,300000 yuan, and the economic growth rate must be 20 percent in two years.

It's not very difficult either.

The ones with the greatest potential are the Angry Owl and Koroga.

Gu Hang hopes that the Angry Owl will have a population of four billion in two years – mainly through Koroga's transfer. With this scale, we can better exert the power of the transformation of the Angry Owl Star into an industrial planet, and at the same time, we can better play the value of the Angry Owl Shipyard.

As for Koroga itself, it is expected that in the next two years, after a total of six years of population migration, in addition to the population of the Raging Owl Star to 4 billion, the population of the Black Arrow Star can also be rushed to 3 billion - for the Black Arrow Star is the end. It is estimated that at that time, including the new part, Koroga will still have a population of about 31 billion.

With 9 billion fewer people, the pressure on the nest capital will be much less; At the same time, as the reform deepens, the development potential brought by the population will also be realized.

Gu Hang is counting on these two planets, as the strongest economic engines, to really bring about 20% growth in two years.

This is also Gu Hang's request to the alliance government.

Ms. Osena, who has been promoted to the A4 level and is the prime minister of the alliance, is so worried that her hair is gone.

I thought that when the situation in the alliance got better and better, I would be able to take a breath and have a little more time to rest. However, the Governor's plan for the next two years suddenly made her continue to worry.

It's not that it can't be done, but the Governor is not talking about indicators. But it was the premise that she had to work hard that she had to continue to struggle.

She has to grasp the people in her prime minister's office, pull up the governments of the planets, and pull up the senior officials of the ministries and commissions of the alliance, and fight hard.

……

After reading the tax-related documents and reports, and signing some words, Gu Hang paid attention to army construction again.

In fact, he went to Koroga this time for this purpose.

A large part of the alliance's financial surplus is allocated to military construction.

The Alliance Army will not make a particularly big move at the moment, or rather, the big move has been done since four years ago, but it has recently come to fruition.

In the earliest days, the composition of the Union army was very simple. Later, when Koroga, Fastes, and Flying Wingstar gradually fell into Gu Hang's hands, the situation became complicated.

Coroga's planetary defense force was changed to the Salvation Army and the Defense Force at that time; Both Ficher and Winging also have their own planetary defenses; On this basis, there is also the Alliance Army sequence, as well as the two combat unit sequences of the Raging Bear Legion and the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion.

An overly complicated structure of military forces is certainly not conducive to command.

The Raging Bear Legion and the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion are not easy to move, these two troops are the Astral Army sequence, and theoretically have little to do with the alliance and the star district government. Logistics is under the control of the Imperial Military Affairs Department, and command operations and the appointment and dismissal of officers are under the management of the Astral Army Command.

However, just like when the Facher family had a strong influence on the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion, now, this 20 million Astral Army force is actually supported by Gu Hang's alliance. Although this part of the cost is actually paid by the Ministry of Military Affairs, from soldiers to officers, they are all from the Pegasus Star District, and they are all people under the rule of the alliance in the past, so the influence of the alliance in it is absolutely inseparable.

Not to mention the Angry Bear Legion, it is simply from the chain of command to the soldiers that are all transformed on the spot by the Alliance Army.

In the past, Gu Hang was still thinking about how to find a way to digest the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion into his own. Now, he realizes that he doesn't have to do anything at all. When he became the ruler of the Pegasus Star Zone, and he was essentially and nominally the boss, the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion, which was stationed in the Pegasus Star Zone, was his thing.

In particular, Gu Hang also adopted some strategies.

Normally, the Astral Army has no talk of demobilization, most of their soldiers come from human taxes, and they are all levied adult taxes, where is there any reason to put them back?

What's more, the longer the service period and the more you become a veteran, it will definitely be much more fierce than a new recruit.

But only if you don't get so old that you can't even lift a gun.

People will age, at the age of thirty or forty, they are in the prime of life, but after the age of fifty, the physical function of normal human beings begins to decline sharply, and the physical condition cannot keep up with the accumulation of experience. At that point, unless you are promoted to officer, it is really inappropriate to still fight on the front line.

The Astral Army that is constantly fighting on the front line may have veterans who have survived for decades, not to mention some who are stationed in the rear.

Generally speaking, the Astral Army is still very good for veterans who have been fighting on the front line, survived for a long time, and have made outstanding achievements, and veterans who can stay alive will either be promoted to become officers, and those who are not suitable for officers will also be placed on the spot when they reach the age of retirement. It is the norm to send a large sum of money and place a position with money on the local planet or the rear planet.

Those who remained in the rear were a little worse.

However, Gu Hang didn't plan to do this.

In fact, the Astral Army also has a normal decommissioning process. That is, when a soldier reaches a certain age - it does not have to be old - it can be arranged, but if a veteran retires at the age of thirty or thirty-five, what will happen to the decline in the combat effectiveness of the army and the replenishment of new recruits? The former is basically impossible to make up, and the latter also has to spend more expenses of the empire and mobilize human taxes to make up for it. It's a pity that neither the Ministry of Military Affairs nor the specific Astral Army units will do such a thing, which makes the normal decommissioning process useless.

After much discussion with the Dragon Eagle Legion, General Hans approved the process of decommissioning veterans on a large scale, but also put forward some conditions:

In the Dragon Eagle 3 Corps, veterans aged 30, especially those over 35 years old, will be withdrawn from the army in batches and in a large area, and the resettlement work will be solved by the alliance;

The missing soldiers are replenished by the Alliance, and they are required to meet the standard level of the Astral Army;

Gu Hang agreed to all these conditions.

Veterans over the age of 30/35 are retired, not dead, and after staying in the local area to change jobs, there is a place to resettle. Police departments, anti-corruption, secret services, these departments will all want; If there are those that cannot be digested, many industries and industrial areas will need manpower.

Even, transferring to the ranks of some planetary defense forces on the spot is equivalent to turning the veterans of the Astral Army into the backbone of his own defense army, and there is no loss.

And the Astral Army at this age, especially those who have retired from the troops like the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion who have stayed behind most of the time, are not particularly meritorious, and they are not very old, so they don't need to be arranged for a particularly comfortable and rich position like a retired hero.

As for Gu Hang's benefit, it lies in the fact that he can complete the 'blood exchange' of the Dragon Eagle Legion by doing so.

The additional soldiers are required to reach the level of the Astral Army, where are these people from? Gu Hang was transferred from the alliance army that had completed the training of the military card.

The Dragon Eagle 3 Legion has been fighting and stationed in Koroga for more than eight years, and the original veterans in the unit, even if they were very young before, have spent these eight years, and it is normal to be over 30/35 years old.

If the blood is changed to a certain extent, the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion will not be what it used to be.

Of course, the essence of it is the Astral Army. Including the Raging Bear Legion, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Astral Army General Headquarters have the power to transfer these two troops to take on other tasks.

However, it is not so easy to transfer away, and now it is not what it used to be, and Gu Hang's voice is difficult to ignore.

What's more, if there is really a war around the star zone, it is not a good thing to be transferred to fight if it is transferred to fight.

The alliance has now expanded to the limit under normal means. Without the bonus of the head of the star sector, there were no unexpected incidents, and it was difficult for Gu Hang to get involved in areas outside the star sector.

Because of this, Gu Hang did have the idea of continuing to expand the alliance with the help of the Astral Army. It's just that this idea is still immature, and there are still a lot of problems that need to be solved. Moreover, the main work of the alliance now is still in internal digestion, and it has to make all the chassis currently in its possession into the core territory, and it has no energy to do it outside for the time being.

But at least, Gu Hang also has to keep this means, when there is a chance, as soon as the Astral Army is dispatched out, the alliance will be able to follow behind to find opportunities.

And even in the current few years of peacetime, the Alliance Star Raising Realm Army is not at a loss.

It's tax deductible.

The Dragon Eagle 3 Legion has maintained a scale of 20 million people, while the Raging Bear Legion has expanded to 10 million in recent years. In terms of equipment level, a high standard has been maintained. These 30 million troops, combined with the maintenance cost alone, will cost hundreds of millions of tax dollars a year.

That is, the alliance can be given 100 million imperial taxes a year.

In addition to the 30 million Astral Army, the Alliance canceled the establishment of the Salvation Army of Koroga, cancelled the establishment of the Planetary Defense Force within the scope of the entire Alliance, and completely replaced the Planetary Defense Force with the Alliance Army system.

The total size of the coalition army is currently around 400 million men, of which 300 million are stationed in Koroga.

It is impossible for Gu Hang to use the military card system to train all these 400 million people into qualified soldiers, and there is no need for that.

In fact, only 100 million of them have been trained by the system; The remaining 300 million were all carried out under normal training methods.

But with 25% of the backbone and the standard logistics of the Astral Army, after four years of training, they reached the standard Astral Army's combat effectiveness, and there was no big problem. At present, the proportion of soldiers in the alliance army who have reached the level of the standard astral army can reach 85%, which is already better than many regular astral army troops.

Not to mention, Gu Hang has also established many elite divisions among them.

These elite divisions, known internally as 'skeleton divisions', tend to have more powerful equipment, such as rifles fully equipped with laser guns or Gauss rifles, more heavy explosive machine guns and various types of bombs, plasma weapons and hot melt weapons, armored units with higher density of armored vehicles and lion king tanks, and even extravagant sentry mechs for reconnaissance units.

Even, there are more elite divisions and regiments that will be given special numbers, and even a large proportion of exoskeleton armor, which is distributed to soldiers; Some of the sharp knife companies are even equipped with a large number of 'god-serving' feedback power armor.

Not to mention those elite special number troops, even if it is a skeleton division, it will make General Hans of the Dragon Eagle Legion feel sour when he sees it.

Fuck, the equipment of the planetary defense forces is stronger than Lao Tzu's genuine astral army!

Where does this make sense?
