Chapter 482, You Made the Right Choice
Through the virtual image of the Star Phone, Gu Hang saw the stunned look on Osena's face, and said dissatisfiedly, "What kind of expression do you have?"
"Ugh...... It's nothing, just waiting to hear your next clever remarks, Your Excellency!"
The corners of Gu Hang's mouth twitched, deciding not to be as knowledgeable as Osena, and patiently explained, "We can't do something similar to the Flame Clan. There are many items for them to intercept the imperial tax, but the most important part is that the green skins of the planets in the control area have not been completely removed, and they still need to invest heavily to demand unilateral tax reductions or alternative taxes."
"This is of course illegal, because theoretically, the threat of greenskins on each planet is itself the responsibility of the local governments of each planet to address. Even if they fought in the name of the Star Domain Government, the only part they could legally and reasonably leave behind was the part that the original Star Domain Government could keep. However, the number intercepted by the Flame Warband far exceeds the number that a normal star field government can hold. This will greatly offend the higher authorities, and it will also affect the reputation."
"We have to cut off from the Flame Warband, and we can't be like them in this respect, otherwise we will become a raccoon dog."
Osena nodded in understanding, but she also said, "I understand what you mean, but...... The price of 76 billion yuan plus the collection and transportation costs is still too high. If we really follow this number, it may have an impact on our current four-year plan."
Regarding Osena's statement, Gu Hang also agreed.
The imperial tax is the imperial tax, but it is always undesirable to hand over the silver in vain, especially when the number is so huge.
76 billion ...... That's enough for one and a half 'Holy Grail' battlecruisers!
"So, we'll have to think of something else." Gu Hang said, "I talked to the Celestial Domain Government about this, and of course they are willing for us to do so, after all, a lot of wealth will be directly gathered to them, and there is no need to go from the Star Domain Government again. Chairman Zuo also knows that if the Dragon Eagle Star Domain takes the tax away, it will fall into the hands of Fury, and there won't be much that can be handed over."
"Next, I'll talk to the Celestial Government again. Since they have received such a big benefit, it is only natural that they will share some of the costs for us. I'm pretty sure they'll be able to say yes."
That's actually the most likely scenario. The Star Domain Government is a subordinate government under the Celestial Domain Government, and has a direct subordinate relationship. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the Celestial Government to receive Imperial Taxes directly from local forces within a Star Domain.
She also knows the reason, this is a matter of legitimacy.
That is, the special situation of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, and the fact that Zuo Zhaofeng, the chairman of the Celestial Domain, was willing to provide such additional help under the hint of Garardo, that this matter could be implemented.
She didn't ask why she had to do so much.
It is reasonable and legal to do so.
And it's not just implemented.
"I'll talk to Chairman Zuo later, after all, we're still at war, and we're really half of the Star Domain government. We should also be able to get a part of the corresponding allocation to the Star Domain government. It's a bit difficult to take the regular 30 percent, but give us 20 percent, and that should be the way it should be."
Osena thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a chance for a direct tax deduction?" Withhold the cost directly from us."
"It should be possible."
The costs incurred in these processes are generally borne by the imperial system. The alliance is now doing the transfer tax, in fact, it has replaced some of the functions of the star field government, so it can naturally make this part of the cost not borne by itself according to the requirements.
"And we don't have to really transport all this supplies to the Infinity Star ourselves. I've talked to the government of the Celestial Domain and the government of the Eastern Border Star Domain next door, and we can send the supplies directly to Maoling Star, and the Eastern Border Government will transfer them over."
"I understand." Osena nodded.
"That's really minus
There's less pressure."
It's just that this matter is still a bit unreasonable.
When the imperial tax was collected, it was impossible for a large order of magnitude of physical materials to be transported to the Holy Terra, handed over to the center of the empire, and then distributed to various regions, star regions, and star regions according to demand. Once you go back and forth, the loss on the road is incomparably greater.
"However, the way to keep it can't be that I just stay. We'll have to turn it in, and we'll get funding from the Celestial Government. Osena, you need to be prepared to receive it accordingly."
This level of waste is beyond even the reach of the Empire.
Does the star field government still exist in theory, and it is your turn for the alliance to pay taxes directly?
If the Celestial Government is on the side of the Star Domain Government and refuses to accept the taxes you pay by the higher levels, it will be a doom.
Because of this, the Empire's use of the Imperial Tax will allow the two levels of government in the Star Domain and the Celestial Domain to retain a part; The rest of the central part will not actually be transported to Holy Terra. Some of the transports, while the other part, will be distributed directly to the places where they are needed in accordance with some of the Empire's current strategic objectives. If there is any surplus, some storage worlds will be established in various universes to store materials.
The scale of the transportation industry has increased, and the cost will indeed be greatly reduced; But again, such a large base is here, it needs to occupy a large number of transport ships, and the ships don't have to do anything else when they come and go, and the fuel consumption on the road is extremely large.
"That's a lot of time and money!"
No matter how the alliance is, it is not a star field government yet. Directly crossing the Star Domain Government and paying taxes to a higher level is already non-compliant, and it is even more non-compliant to directly leave the Imperial Tax by yourself. After the exchange of taxes, it would be relatively better for the government of the Celestial Domain to distribute them in the form of special appropriations.
Before hanging up the communication, Osena said to Gu Hang, "Lord Governor, it's not a way to go on like this, Fury Flame has used this kind of thing to get us in too much trouble. I look forward to you becoming the true Lord of the Dragon Eagle soon."
"It's coming."
……
As Osena said, the Imperial Tax wasn't the first trouble the Flame Warband was looking for.
Over the past two years, they have used similar tactics to disgust the league many times.
The simplest is to send the head of the star sector and the planetary governor to the alliance occupation zone in the name of the star field government.
Come and detain one Gu Hang.
In the name of the commander-in-chief, orders were issued to the coalition troops.
Come one and ignore one another.
The rest of the severance of trade and the like is a regular operation.
Of course, these things are also known to the Flame Warband, and it is impossible to have results.
However, every time the Alliance detains and expels an official of a star field government, and ignores an order from a star field government, then it is equivalent to giving them an explanation and an excuse.
They used these things to lash out at Gu Hang's dominance and attack the alliance for actually engaging in secession, saying that they were traitors.
This was not said to Gu Hang, but to the many surrounding star fields, to the government of the Celestial Domain, and to the center of the empire.
What can the coalition do?
This kind of thing cannot be acquiesced, and can only be justified.
Of course, mere justification will not work. Whatever you may explain, it's all passive defense.
The Alliance is also constantly spewing furious flame warbands, holding the star field government hostage, plotting against them, and being traitors to the Empire.
Who wouldn't scold when they scolded?
And there is another disgusting thing, which is the retribution for the Iron Tooth War.
Theoretically, the Iron Tooth War took place in the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, and after the war ended, it was supposed to be reported to the Star Domain government on the course and outcome of the war. This is how it is decided who and which army has played a greater role in this war, and whose merits have been.
This determines not only the honor, but also the rewards to be issued by the empire.
The appropriation for the reconstruction of each planet, the replenishment of the attrition of the army, these are all practical benefits.
And for Gu Hang, more importantly, he just wanted to use his undoubted merits in this war to seek the legitimacy of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain government.
To put it bluntly, all the troubles that the Flame Warband gave him were all using the natural and legitimate name of the Star Domain Government. The core solution to these troubles is to become the spokesperson of legitimacy.
But since Gu Hang had already gotten into trouble with the Furious Flame Warband, how could he expect the other party to say good things about him?
Through the Star Domain Government, the alliance may become a small transparent.
Gu Hang deeply understands that victory and the fruits of victory are two different things. If you win the war, there is a possibility that you will not get anything out of it.
He had to fight for that voice.
His war reports, like the Imperial Tax, crossed the Star Domain Government and went straight to the Empire.
It's just that the efficiency of the empire is too slow.
A year ago, Gu Hang had been in contact with Gallardo and asked what the conclusion of the Dragon Eagle Star Field War was. As a result, at that time, Garraldo told him that the relevant information had not yet been sent to the Imperial Ministry of Affairs!
Gu Hang had to ask the Celestial Domain Government again, and Chairman Zuo said that he had already sent it.
That's it.
Now, no one knows where this document of merit is stuck.
But it is said that this is normal.
For Sacred Terra, the Eastern Celestial Domain ...... It's a nice remote place. There's a star-level war here, and that's the scale. It's a bit exaggerated that wars of a similar scale occur every day in the entire universe and in the entire empire, and that is several every day!
Just wait slowly.
But all in all, with the attention of Zuo Zhaofeng and Garraldo, the efficiency can always be faster than usual.
That's it.
Gu Hang is not good at always urging.
I had to wait.
And if the final result that awaits him is not satisfied. He also has some follow-up plans.
Hope you don't use it.
……
Gu Hang didn't wait for a response from the war report, and waited for an old acquaintance first.
Or Loys.
The border guards of the alliance in Duxing, after receiving the instructions of Governor Gu, of course, will blast away the tax fleet led by Loys.
They refused to dock the Tax Fleet, and the naval forces were approaching, and warned the Dragon Eagle Tax Fleet, informing them that if they forced their way through the Hop Point of the Metropolitan Star Line, it would be considered an act of war.
But the tax fleet did not go.
Lois made an application to have a phone call with Gu Hang in person.
Gu Hang thought that the *** of the Star Domain Government was going to persuade him.
After all, Gu Hang could guess that the reason why the Angry Flame War Group asked Lo Yisi to be the tax official was because Lo Yisi had the so-called 'grace of knowing and encountering' to Gu Hang.
Of course they want to get it, and it is definitely impossible to receive money from Gu Hang, this is still a disgusting thing for Gu Hang.
Moreover, the nature of the imperial tax is worse than anything else, so they are waiting to continue to grab the pigtails with the problem after Gu Hang shirks it.
It stands to reason that after being expelled from the Alliance, Loys should have had what she needed and should have left.
What to talk about?
As a result, after the connection was really connected, Gu Hang realized that he had thought wrong.
"Gu Hang, please save the Savior Star Domain Government."
These were the first words that Lois spoke.
"Savior Domain Government?" Gu Hang said, "How can I save it? Can the Star Domain Government admit that the Flame Warband has held you hostage?"
"Yes! That's the truth!"
Gu Hang was noncommittal
Can you continue to ask, "So, is the Star Domain Government going to give me a secret order to lead troops to expel the Raging Flame Clan?"
"Of course you can, if you need it!"
"Okay, please give me the secret order."
Gu Hang said with a smile.
But his heart was cold.
With the so-called secret order, it is impossible for him to send troops westward to fight a civil war.
This wave is just like every time the Angry Flame Wargroup disgusts him, with this secret order, Gu Hang can shout everywhere with great fanfare, and see what your Angry Flame Wargroup has forced the Star Domain Government to become.
But there was no way Lois could have given him this secret order.
She said, "I don't want to go back to Yunluoxing."
"Oh?" Speaking of this, Gu Hang was really interested.
"It's pointless for me to go back, I can only continue to be a puppet of the Furious Flame Warband, they didn't even think about leaving the Star Domain Government, Tan Jiuyi's wishful thinking is just a dream!"
"I'm going to reorganize the government of the star field in the eastern part of the star field, or at least the structure of the government department of the star field. Gu Hang...... Will you support me?"
Gu Hang's attitude became enthusiastic: "Of course! We're old friends, and of course I'm here to support you! What the Flame Warband has done is really too much, and the Star Domain Government needs someone like you, Chief Loys, to stand up and expose them, and then independently assume the responsibilities that the Star Domain Government deserves! Since you want to, then stay. The Alliance will provide you with all the help you need."
"Believe me, Mr. Loys, you made the right choice!"
