Through the glass window, Gu Hang looked at the restless little boy who was being questioned by the alliance intelligence officer.
In order to appease his mentality, a lady was specially chosen to do the job. While talking, she also comforted little Sini's emotions.
The conversation between them was transmitted outside through the loudspeaker.
Although, Xiao Si Ni doesn’t know much. A child of five or six years old, no matter how well-behaved, transformed, or mature, can hardly seem to be well-trained. Like the spies members, they can summarize and refine various intelligence on their own.
But after all, he has lived in that city for two or three years. Many of the things he said may seem like inconspicuous details, but when summed up and deduced, they may be You can get a very important piece of information.
However, those are all trivial matters anyway.
The most core piece of information
Gu Hang already knew the information that "Blackbird Heavy Industries violated the ban on omnics, and Blackbird City has become a nest of omnics."
Every other matter is the details of this important intelligence. It cannot be said that it is not important, but Gu Hang does not need to think too much about it. He can just look back at what the intelligence officer put together.
Gu Hang was thinking about how to use this entire information.
Lambert Hodgson, who was accompanying him, did not dare to disturb him. He knew that the Governor must think carefully about such a big matter.
He was thinking about it too.
This incident will inevitably lead to more and bigger incidents in the future. Perhaps, the Raging Star, which has only had a little time for peace, will once again face war.
Moreover, this time the enemy is not some brainless monster or a native with hip-stretching equipment.
This is Blackbird Heavy Industries, which is backed by the well-known Faches family in the Pegasus region. Now it has been revealed that it violated the omnibus ban. The productivity and the quality of military equipment are... You can't look at your former enemies at all.
According to the information sent back from the front, in the western part of the mainland, there are 15 million people, and there are an estimated 7 million in Blackbird City. Blackbird Heavy Industries has a very high degree of organization for this population. In a war of attrition and extreme conscription, it is not impossible that the troops they can draw will be at least 1.5 million, or more than 3 million.
Will the Alliance fight a war of attrition with them? How many people will die, how much labor originally used for economic construction will be transformed into soldiers on the battlefield, and how long will the development of the Alliance stagnate?
If you think about it more deeply, is Blackbird Heavy Industries still the same as it once was?
The omnic ban is not a joke, it is not that the empire insists on putting a big yoke on its neck, but It was a choice made deeply and deeply out of forced helplessness.
Don’t say that if the intelligent algorithm is not developed enough to cause an omnic crisis, everything will be fine. That’s totally wrong. Even if it isAnything with a calculator level may be infected by the electronic demon. One plus one will give you a result of three hundred and sixty-five.
Those who have been created, have exceeded the minimum level of servitors, and become fully mechanized, even according to the definition of the empire, they cannot be called human beings, those created by fully automatic machines. Are the robot dogs and those automated production lines still controlled by humans?
From this perspective, can the alliance survive?
Even if an omnic crisis really breaks out, can it Apply for support from the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy, but the Alliance must hold on until then at least.
Is that okay?
His mind was in chaos, and the more he thought about it, the heavier he felt.
At this moment, the governor's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Is that Ellan Bird back alive?"
"What?" Lambert was stunned for a moment, then When he realized it, the Governor was talking about one of the demon hunter teams sent to perform a mission in the west of the continent.
He came out of the grand narrative room, quickly recalled it, and then said to Gu Hang, "As soon as we received the news, we made a request to the air force brothers. The Wind Falcon came within half an hour. They set off within a short period of time. But the western continent was too far away. Even at the speed of the Wind Falcon, it would take more than fifteen hours to get there. In the end, only three people, including the little boy, were brought back. De is not on the list of survivors."
After a pause, Lambert continued, "According to the two surviving demon hunters, Elan Bird should be disguised as a personnel transport. The driver took Xiao Si Ni through the city checkpoint smoothly and arrived outside Blackbird City. However, due to the presence of guards, he was unable to leave immediately and could not contact his teammates in the transport team. After arriving at the town where other teammates were and loading up a group of people, he took the risk with Xiao Si Ni and disguised himself as a local resident, trying to leave in disguise, but this time he failed and could only resist on the spot. Teammates appeared in time and rescued them. But after all, the number of people was small. When their whereabouts were exposed, they could only send out a signal for help and wait for rescue."
"Waiting for Feng Falcon to lead the special team. When the elites arrived, only two of them were left alive." Lambert told Governor Gu with a bit of sadness in his tone.
Of the fifteen people who left, only two returned. Although important information was obtained, the sacrifices were still heavy, which is unavoidable.
"Yes." Gu Hang nodded slightly and said nothing more.
There is no need for him to say more about the corresponding pensions, rewards based on merit, and even the follow-up arrangements for the child named Xiao Sini. I believe the people below can handle it well.
After returning, Gu Hang sat and meditated for a while, then called someone to dial an interstellar communication.
The person on the other side of the communication was none other than my mother.
The image of Ms. Wang Qi appeared in front of Gu Hang, looking a little tired.
"Very busy" Gu Hang asked.
"Yes." Wang Qi nodded, but didn't say much else.
After the Black Arrow Incident, Wang Qihuo and Gu Ming died, Gu Hang officially became the nominal head of the Gu family, but he has not yet seen the most important powers in the family name, and The most important group of people in power are the remaining twelve fleet leaders.
Every matter is handled by Wang Qi.
Gu Hang didn’t have any objections to this. This was something he and his mother had agreed upon.
Even if he is really allowed to be the powerful head of the family now, he is not very happy. He was solely focused on the actual development of governance and had no time to take care of the family business.
Although the scale of the family business is large, in his opinion, the foundation is not sufficient and the future development potential is just that, which is not the path he wants to take.
What’s more, he doesn’t understand how the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce plays.
After several recent incidents, his sense of Wang Qi has changed. He is relatively relieved that everything is left to his mother to handle.
As for his mother, Ms. Wang Qi, she was very tired during this period.
The win was a win, but it also left a huge crack in Gu's Trading Company. The entire chamber of commerce, which is essentially a franchisee, has a faint tendency to fall apart. People among the people are unstable and the business is unstable. Gu Ming's lineage had to be completely eradicated, related businesses had to be restored, people had to be appeased, and political situations in the sector and even outside the sector had to be connected. She was so busy day by day.
She really wanted her son to help, but Gu Hang put her off by saying she didn’t understand.
So much so that now, when Gu Hang called her, she didn't give her lazy son a good look and asked stiffly, "What's the matter?"
For her mother now Gu Hang probably also understood his state and mentality.
He understands this very well.
And told my mother all the information about Blackbird City.
After hearing this, Wang Qi’s virtual image remained silent for a long time in front of Gu Hang, which made Gu Hang think there was something wrong with the signal.
After a long time, Wang Qi let out a long sigh
"What kind of thing is this? It keeps coming up again and again."
She was numb. It took him a long time to react.
After sighing, she forced away the fatigue in her mind, faced her son seriously and said, "You know the seriousness of this matter, right?"
Gu Hang nodded slowly.
"Then let me add two more pieces of information to you."
Wang Qi thought, considered the wording, and then said
"The first thing The news comes from within the sector. The situation on Koroja 3 is deteriorating. A hive city with a population of one billion has fallen. A large number of residents have been transformed into plagues under the evil spell. corpses, more residents were displaced, fled in all directions, and spread the plague everywhereThe main astral army stationed in the Pegasus sector, the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion, has urgently dispatched an army group with more than 1.5 million troops to board the Pegasus fleet and go to Koroja 3. "
After talking about the realistic situation without subjective factors, Wang Qi paused and added some analysis, "But according to my estimation, even if this is the case, it will be difficult to calm the situation. I suspect that the situation at Koroga 3 will quickly deteriorate. This is no small matter. The population of Koroga 3 accounts for 56% of the entire Pegasus sector, a total of 40 billion. If there is chaos here, the scope of influence is by no means limited to one of its planets. With a population of 10 billion, the annual output value of Feiyi Star is more than 40 billion. On the one hand, Feiyi Star is developed, and it is not unrelated to the fact that Koluojia 3 serves as a huge market and source of raw materials. ”
Hearing this, Gu Hang was inevitably moved.
This was indeed the first time he had received this information.
He quickly recalled it The matter of the urgent recall of the battle nuns.
He thought that the matter would be suppressed after the return of more than 30 nuns including Garrett to Korokga 3.
But things don't seem to be that simple.
According to what my mother said, if Koroga 3 is in turmoil, the economy of the Flying Wing Star, which is strongly tied to Koroga, will also be in turmoil. Flying Wing Star will not be so calm when facing imperial taxes in the future.
The total population of the Pegasus sector may be more than 70 billion, and the two planets add up to 50 billion. , let’s turmoil together
Finish the big egg
At the same time, Gu Hang also realized that these two worlds were the core sphere of influence of the sector leader Peddes. The three worlds No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 have a combined population of 20 billion, which is the base of the Fachus family.
They seem to have nothing to do with it.
Oh, that’s right. It's not okay, Gu Hang is about to cause trouble for them.
But they have a very close relationship with the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion, the main force of the Star Empire Army in the sector, and a large number of troops and supplies come from France.
Will they fully support Peddes in quelling the chaos?
I’m afraid it will be difficult to send this wave to the star realm of Koruga 3. The army only has 1.5 million people, which seems like a lot, but that's it.
Now, another scandal about Blackbird Heavy Industries' violation of the smart ban has broken out here in Gu Hang, which will bring consequences to Pedes. The reason for attacking the Fachus family, and it is a very serious reason.
What can Fachus do?
Cutting off the relationship or even identifying it as a crime. On the one hand, Blackbird Heavy Industry's independent behavior is to manage the relationship. On the other hand, will it react particularly violently and be willing to promote the large-scale arrival of the Astra Militarum to eliminate Blackbird Heavy Industry and destroy the evidence?
By the way, this will also give The Fachus family is an excuse to reduce the support of the Astra Militarum to Kororga 3. The evil plague and the omnic crisis. Compared with the two, it is hard to say which one is lighter and which is more important
Evil plague The plague will infect tens of billionsMan, if the omnic crisis is ignored, not much of the population of Raging Owl will be infected, but if it is controlled by omnics to a certain extent, people will automatically mine and produce their own machinery, and it will take more than ten years for human beings to have a population. Only then can you become mature. I don’t know how many combat machines will fall off the production line at the end of the day
Regardless of whether this is alarmist or not, it is a statement anyway.
From this perspective, it seems that this is not a good thing for Leader Pedes.
And what should I do if I am in it?
Gu has always been an ally of Peddes, and Gu Hang himself has benefited a lot; but compared to Fofana Among the Peddes brothers, Gu himself has the most relaxed relationship with Faches, and there has been some cooperation in recent years. But last time, in order to save his mother, Gu Hang agreed to Peddes and fell out with the Faches family.
Hey, if you ask me to fuck Blackbird, wouldn’t it be a legitimate fight?
Maybe we can even get the Fachers family to join us in the fight.
As for the trade ban corresponding to the Gu family that fell out with Faches, it is already being implemented.
He had discussed this matter with his mother before. The Gu family must carry out their agreement with Peddes. Putting aside actual benefits, political reputation cannot be afforded to be lost. Gu is in business, and her reputation is the same as her destiny.
But there are also some areas where you can argue. There is no reason to completely isolate the three planets of Faches. It is an imperial world, and Gu's Trading Company is a caravan affiliated with the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. How can you say that if you don't do business, you won't do business? This is against imperial laws.
First of all, this is a tenable legal principle. Wang Qi and Pei Desi have also had many communications and were very embarrassed. The Faches family is complaining to the higher-level organization of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. The Gu family It is also difficult for commercial banks to do this. They can only find ways to reduce trade volume and prohibit the circulation of certain types of goods without violating the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce.
On the one hand, this is to give an explanation to Pedes, and on the other hand, it is to appease the law. Si, to show them his helplessness.
Of course, this is not to offend both sides, please both sides, and have both sides. If you do it well, you can maintain a balance, and there are benefits if both sides don't fall out; but if you don't do it well, both sides will be offended, which is a great test for Wang Qi. Technique.
But that’s how it is.
Where are there any permanent friends or enemies?
Didn’t Pedes also add insult to injury when the Gu family was in danger, using the name of the navy as a bargaining chip to blackmail Gu Hang into doing things?
Although you, Peders, are hostile to Faches and have engaged in countless nasty things in private, you have never really fallen out with each other. There is no reason for Gu's Trading Company to break up with Faches first.
This matter is not as simple as a crisis on the Raging Owl. It involves a wide range of things.
The situation has become foggy.
How will the future evolve?
Gu Hang was still thinking, but his mother started to talk about the second love.Reported "Another thing, it's about the imperial tax."
"What happened to the imperial tax? It will be collected in more than a month. Logically speaking, there will be a fleet of the Star Territory Tax Department. He will come to the Pegasus Star Region, visit each planet one by one, collect taxes, and then bring all the collected items to the capital Feiyi Star, settle with the leader, use the seal, and then leave the Pegasus Star Region and return to the capital of the Dragon Eagle Star Region."< /p>
"Yes, this is the tax collection process. But this year is a little different. The tax fleet coming to the Tianma Star Region is not a squadron, but the main tax fleet of the Dragon Eagle Star Region."
Gu Hang frowned deeply, "Why is it arranged like this?"
"Listen to me." Wang Qi continued, "It's not just the general taxation of the Star Territory." The fleet also arrived at the same time as the war apostle of the great Sun Lord, Poggio Gallardo."
Gu Hang's eyes widened at this moment.
Gallardo, that is a quite famous name.
This person’s stage is not just a small fight at the star level or star level. He is a hero of the Empire, one of the Sun Lord's forty-six War Apostles.
As for Sun Lord Sohkaim, he is almost the most important figure in the empire today and is the ruler of the empire.
Of course, the true ruler of the Empire is always the Emperor, and this is eternal. Only after the immortal Emperor ascended, the highest governing body that managed this boundless human empire was the Human Supreme Council.
There are thirteen seats in this Supreme Council, some of which are fixed, such as representatives of the state religion, representatives of Mars, the supreme judge of the Imperial Tribunal, and the Prime Minister of the Empire;
Some Those that are relatively fixed but occasionally absent, such as the Grand Marshal of the Astra Militarum, the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Navy, and representatives of the Psychic Order;
Some are often present or absent, mainly depending on the current political situation of the empire. There are more of these, such as the representatives of the Space Marines, the president of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, the prime ministers of the Ministry of Administration, the Ministry of Legal Affairs, the Ministry of Taxation, and the Ministry of Military Affairs, the chief of the Imperial Astrology Department, and an indefinite number of representatives elected by the Speaker of the Universe< /p>
There are also some positions that may not necessarily be established, such as the Imperial Regent, the Imperial Commander, and the Sun Lord, which was established for the first time in the current empire.
Sorachem was originally the son of a planetary governor. He established an Astral Legion and joined the Astral Army. After leading the army to achieve military exploits, he quickly became a general. official.
Then, his invincible record led to his rapid promotion in official positions, and he was favored by the then Grand Marshal of the Astra Militarum and trained as his successor. Later, he gained great prestige and unparalleled power. With his military exploits, he naturally became the youngest Grand Marshal of the Astra Militarum and entered the Supreme Council when he was only thirty-two years old.
Then, he won the support of the Supreme Council and launched the Solar Crusade.
In the beginning, this was just an ordinary journey, but when he spent three years harvestingAfter recovering 600 planets, his expedition expanded like a snowball; not only did a large number of forces from all sides of the empire join in, but he even received the support of more than ten Space Marine Chapters;
In the thirteenth year, the number of planets recovered reached 6,000. His huge reputation made him more than just the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Astra Militarum. He left this position to a man he trusted. General, and pushed more generals into the Supreme Council, and named himself Lord of the Sun.
The sun is the star of the birthplace of mankind. Taking this name can imagine its authority.
Today, the Solar Crusade has been going on for thirty-five years, and more than 20,000 Imperial worlds have been recovered; endless armies continue the great expedition under its command, and more than a hundred Space Marines The warband serves him.
Among the recovered planets, many of the worlds were not even lost by the Empire, but had been left alone since extremely remote ancient times, and had never heard of the name of the Emperor or the Empire.
These newly recovered worlds have even established a brand new universe, named Solaria.
Today, the Sun Lord is the highest-ranking person in the human empire and a hero known to everyone in the empire. Although he is a mortal, he has won the respect and loyalty of countless space warriors. Orders were deemed to be those of the Emperor, and even the High Council of Terra acted under its shining light.
However, Gu Hang recalled many realistic things.
Do the entire empire really support the Sun Crusade?
Not necessarily.
As far as Gu Hang knew, the empire was as bad as it was, and this kind of administrative efficiency corresponded to such a huge territory, and the utilization efficiency of resources was extremely low.
The expansion speed of the Solar Expedition, which covers 20,000 planets in thirty-five years, and an average of three planets every two days, has far exceeded the limit that the imperial administrative agencies can bear, and a large number of new planets have been conquered. The recovered world was unable to be effectively managed and was in a state of anarchy. Not only did it fail to provide blood to the empire, but it became a burden.
The long supply line makes the Ministry of Military Affairs miserable.
Each local world needs to supply a large amount of materials for this purpose.
The imbalance of local power makes it difficult for each region to obtain sufficient strength to counter the threats it faces.
At this point in time, the Solar Crusade has become an unbearable burden for the empire.
Thinking more darkly, at his current age of sixty-five, and with life extension surgery, he can still live for a long time, but under the imperial mechanism, he has begun to lose effective means of checking and balancing him.
Can the Empire accept the emergence of a mortal emperor?
Can the Supreme Council really continue to tolerate a sun on its head?
But no matter what, he is now It’s the same hero, the same sun.
And one of his forty-six war apostles is about to arrive in the Pegasus star region.
