Loysi's choice was really an unexpected joy for Gu Hang.

Isn't it legitimacy that worries?

If Lois can come, it will be a great help.

She is the head of the government department of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, and at the level of the entire star domain government, she can be regarded as the number two person.

After she came, Gu Hang would be able to establish a small star domain government in the area under her actual control.

The name is obvious: the chief of government is here to carry out the work of the Star Field Government Department, which is very reasonable.

Then, if Gu Hang does something, he can also do it in the name of the Star Domain Government.

He could even turn around and make some trouble for the Flame Band.

This is the dispute between 'name' and 'reality'.

In fact, Gu Hang has suffered a lot in the name of the Star Domain Government, and has also made some efforts in this regard.

They can't directly resist the Flame Warband, but they can send a message to the Alliance; They didn't dare to blatantly help the Alliance, but they were able to resist and delay certain things that the Flame Clan needed their cooperation on, increasing the cost of the Flame Clan's actions.

Truth be told, it's very volatile and completely different from what Urso had in mind.

Through the information he obtained, which was not even classified, Gu Hang could see that the Star Domain Government was actually not so willing to be a dog for the Flame Warband.

But this would significantly deplete the prestige they had built up through the Iron Tooth War, which had been greatly diminished by the existence of the Alliance.

It is unrealistic for these agents to engage in subversion, and the Alliance's influence and instigation capabilities are insufficient; However, it is possible to spy on some intelligence and make some covert contacts with certain key figures.

And Gu Hang is much more patient in this regard.

This set of methods, they have tried in multiple star fields. Although it takes a long time, it is unstoppable.

If it drags on, the eastern part of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain will only develop better and better under his control, the society will tend to be stable, and he will be able to turn the two hundred worlds in the east into his basic disk.

What Gu Hangyuan could see in the east of the star field, Erso was in it, and of course the feeling was more personal.

However, it was obvious that Erso didn't want to spend time with Gu Hang.

Originally, Urso's vision was that the Flame Warband would become the heroes of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, and then everything would be very easy. They will return power to the native powers, and only form strong alliances with them through influence, through security. Then, the power of the Menghe Star Domain and the Empress Star Domain was introduced, and they were constantly infiltrated through commerce and political cooperation. In a few years, the Dragon Eagle Star Domain will become a de facto ally of the Iron Fury Stone; In a few years, they will have to rely heavily on the Iron Fury Stone.

The former is constantly being consumed, no matter how strong their strength is, after the local forces really start to centrifuge away from Germany, it is impossible for them to continue to control half of the star field.

After all, the Flame Warband is a guest army, and the affairs of half a star field, hundreds of billions of people, and one or two hundred worlds cannot be solved by relying on less than a thousand Space Marines. Although they brought with them a large number of auxiliaries, they still needed to rely on a large number of local forces to maintain their rule.

On the contrary, as long as Gu Hang still maintains a cold war posture with the Furious Flame War Group, then the endogenous contradictions in the western part of the star field will become more and more impossible to suppress, and the entire society will become more and more boiling. Rebellions may not be easy to see, but the cost of the Flame Warband's rule will undoubtedly continue to rise, so that not only will it not be able to make blood for them, but it will require them to keep it through constant blood transfusions.

Be patient, don't be in a hurry, don't make mistakes, digest the results, and save money.

This is the overall idea of Gu Hang when leading the alliance against Fury.

However, in the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, everything is different. The step of becoming a hero and a savior is greatly discounted. Now, half of the star field regards them as enemies, where can they be considered heroes? Moreover, it is also because of the alliance

, so that they could not go all out to build their own 'glorious image", and had to squeeze the power of the half of the star field controlled by them to maintain this cold war.

Only two years have passed, and a Lois defected;

And in two years? What about four years?

If you have the ability, you will spend six or eight years with me. When the time comes, the naval formations of the alliance do not know what to grow!

……

It must be emphasized once again that they are guest troops, and they are not the native masters of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain. They were able to control half of the star field thanks to the prestige that came with winning the war, saving the world, and their great power. These two are indispensable.

Some star field governments have reached a certain tacit understanding with the alliance in this way.

Although there were many difficulties, the intelligence departments of the alliance all showed their own magic and thought of some ways to install some agents in the various worlds in the western part of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, including Yunluo Star.

He was getting more and more exhausted.

By now, he had to admit that the Alliance, which stood across from him, was a very formidable enemy. He is actually not very good at intelligence spying within the alliance, but the few words that come out can still let him know that this enemy will only become stronger and stronger.

However, we can't take advantage of this time to directly use force, and we have to hold back here to engage in a cold war.

This was very aggrieved, but what was even more aggrieved was that he felt that the local forces in the western part of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain were rebounding because of the resources extracted by the Cold War and because of the high-pressure and strong rule that the Flame Warband had to adopt.

The deployment of materials and the replenishment of personnel are becoming more and more unsmooth, and the transmission and execution of orders are becoming more and more obscure.

He had a feeling of being mired in the mire. He could clearly feel that if this continued, he and his warband would be drowned in the Dragon Eagle Star Domain.

The game has to be broken.

But the way to break the situation cannot be a war, at least not a war in which the division is nameless.

It's not enough to call the alliance treasonous, and the mouth is fierce, but in fact, Ersopi understands what the image of the 'Iron Fury Stone' is in the imperial political arena. I can't wash my ass of yellow mud, and I point to others and scold him as a traitor, no one believes it.

If he takes the initiative to start a war, he will 'declare' that it is not enough, and if it is not good, it will cause a very big reaction. In the worst-case scenario, the Empire could even declare the Flame Warband traitors and mobilize forces to suppress him.

At that point, it's time for another 'Bauhinia Rebellion'. That is the most important opportunity for the Iron Fury Stone to grow, but it is also their biggest crisis. At that time, if they didn't win, the fate of the three warbands of Bauhinia, Star Breaker Blade, and Immortal Bird would be the fate of their Iron Armor, Fury Flame, and Rock Shield.

But on the flip side, what if the claims are sufficient?

For the past two years, Urso has been giving the alliance all kinds of trouble, just accumulating 'claims'."

Disobey orders, disobey assignments, and do not accept officials from the Star Domain government...... And now this time, the issue of the imperial tax is even more of a lore.

Erso had long thought that it was impossible for Gu Hang to pay taxes to him. Otherwise, if more than 70 billion falls into his hands, many things can be settled, and there is no need to squeeze the local area so much, and even share the benefits......

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't pay taxes, even if Gu Hang goes to the upper government to pay, just like the previous retribution, it is also in his expectations.

He even thought about whether to plunder Gu Hang and send a transport fleet, anyway, it was not a serious imperial tax fleet, and it was not the same nature as robbing the imperial tax.

But after thinking about it, the risk is still too high, and that would be too much to offend the Celestial Domain government. After all, the money was shipped to the Celestial Government, and if the Celestial Domain Government jumped out and said that this was the official tax fleet they recognized, it would be a big problem.

In the current situation, it is enough.

Skip the starfield government and pay taxes directly to the higher levels of government?

Even if it is recognized by the higher-level government, there is too much to make a fuss about in this matter.

This universe, really

There are only a few things that are black and white, and most of the affairs are in gray, nothing more than gray and shallow. The same thing, under different criteria for judging and even from different standpoints, is completely different in nature.

The materials accumulated in the past, plus the problem of the imperial tax this time, all add up, and they are all the cannonballs that Urso will use next.

But the cannonballs can't be fired by the Flame Warband, just as he can't go to war on his own.

However, there is a natural reason why the 'Iron Fury Stone' has been in the imperial political arena for so many years, and has done a lot of unruly and illegal things, and it is still so arrogant. In addition to their own strong hard power, they have also developed some partners and some communities of interests, which has formed a certain degree of 'protective umbrella'.

It doesn't matter, the boat capsized early!

Now, it's time to use these 'relationships'.

Tribunal.

Over the years, the Iron Fury Stone has maintained quite good relations with many Imperial Inquisition institutions and religious orders.

Speaking of the Inquisition, this is a rather special organization within the Empire.

They are a super spy organization that integrates multiple functions such as secret police, espionage, intelligence, internal surveillance, dealing with heresy, external elimination of demons, and aliens.

Their power is almost as great as that of any other political entity in the Empire, and they are constantly watching over all living beings in the Empire.

Inquisitors theoretically have almost unlimited power, and they can do almost anything they want, given the right reasons. Sign an extinction order to kill billions, if not tens of billions, of people on a planet; execution of an Imperial Marshal; Overseeing the Lord of the High Council; Sentenced a Space Marine warband to treason......

At the same time, the Trial Chamber is a large, loose and complex organization. Each Inquisitor has his own ideas on how to defend the Empire more effectively. According to different philosophies and methods, there are actually numerous factions within the court.

There is the Demon Inquisition that specializes in dealing with the problem of abyssal demons, the Outer Inquisition that is dedicated to fighting against all kinds of aliens, and the Inquisition that specializes in finding out traitors to the Empire from within...... These three are the largest, but there are many other small factions with very different ideas.

There is no formal structural framework for the Trial Chambers, and some judges form collaborative teams when they are confronted with major issues that cannot be resolved on their own. Often, such cooperation groups are the precursors and prototypes of a court faction.

The power of the judges is immense, but in practice, the situation is much more complicated. A trial chamber with too much power in name often turns into no power at all. In other words, what a particular judge wants to do depends on how strong his 'is'.

On the one hand, this strength depends on how much power the judge can mobilize within the court itself. How willing is your own faction to support, how many other factions can mobilize their strength, how much support can be found for organizations outside the Inquisition, and whether they can mobilize the help of the State Church, the Mechon, or even the Astral Force or the Imperial Navy. These are all components of a judge's strength.

On the other hand, it is the degree to which the words of the inquisitor and the judgment he makes can be recognized within the empire.

Therefore, although the judges have almost unlimited secular power in jurisprudence, if they abuse their power in reality, they will soon have all kinds of modern newspapers - even the court itself has a special body responsible for supervising the inquisitors who abuse their power. So, while theoretically possible, the inquisitors can't really do whatever they want.

And the relationship of the 'Iron Fury Stone' in the court was unexpectedly good.

This is especially true of a large faction that is often active in the eastern part of the Empire, the Silver Inquisition.

This court has a glorious history, with tens of thousands of official inquisitors under its command, and maintains good cooperation with many powerful Astral Army legions and naval marshals. There are two biggest strokes, one is that they have successfully set off a target of the 'McCree Domain&

quot; The Judgment of the President of the Celestial Domain. This figure, who can definitely be regarded as the top *** of the empire and the feudal official, was sentenced by the Silver Tribunal.

Regardless of whether or not it was 'treasonous', 'incompetent and corrupt', and 'causing great damage to the empire', as the Silver Inquisition claimed, the end result was that the Celestial Chair wanted to start a rebellion to protect himself, but was dismantled and executed by the Silver Inquisition.

And the second biggest stroke is that in the Bauhinia Rebellion more than a hundred years ago, he proved the loyalty of the Iron Armor Warband, sentenced the Bauhinia Wargroup to extinction, and sentenced the Starbreaker Blade and the Immortal Bird to carry out an atonement expedition.

After these two major events that happened one after another, the Silver Inquisition became famous in many of the eastern regions of the empire. The Iron Fury Stone also often cooperated with some of their actions and made a lot of things.

And the judgments made by the Silver Inquisition Court can always become a reality under their original strong strength and with the support of the 'Iron Fury Stone'. At the same time, it will also be able to get the Imperial Inquisition headquarters to sign off on their verdict.
