The last words left by Lois almost made Gu Hang understand what problem he was about to encounter.
This is indeed a bit troublesome.
But in fact, even if Gu Hang had already judged Gallardo's intentions in advance, in the end, he found that he still underestimated the war apostle's appetite.
Early the next morning, Ms. Lois, the tax manager, was going to check the imperial tax that Angry Owl Star had to hand over this time, Legion No. 43250903.
The serious process is actually like this
The Pegasus sector submitted an application to establish a new Astra Militarum legion. The reason is to deal with the growing number of Imperial traitors on the Wrathful Star. , the threat of green-skinned orcs. In the middle, the traces of the green-skinned orc vanguard army on the Raging Owl star were listed, and the naval battle against the green-skinned warship that took place in the Raging Owl star system was also listed.
This application was approved. From this moment on, Legion No. 43250903, also known as the Angry Bear Legion, has existed.
Of course, this legion has no soldiers, no generals, no equipment. The Astra Militarum Eastern Theater issued a demand document to the Dragon Eagle Star Territory. The cost of establishing the Raging Bear Legion was borne by the Astra Militarum Army. The money spent by the Astra Militarum Army was collected from the Dragon Eagle Star Territory. , to pay for the imperial tax that was originally expected to be paid to the Astra Militarum.
Isn’t it a coincidence that the imperial tax required to establish the Raging Bear Legion is exactly equal to 25 of the imperial tax that the Raging Owl Star has to pay. The other 75, the sector government has already handed over to the Raging Owl Star. .
In accordance with the document jointly issued by the Imperial Administration Department and the Taxation Department on the proximity principle of imperial tax appropriation, the Raging Star has the soldiers, equipment, and generals of the Raging Bear Legion on the spot.
In such a complete set of operations, everything is legal and legal, and all procedures are complete. No one can tell anything.
However, just because the process is fine does not mean that the matter is over.
The regulations on imperial tax are very strict. As an imperial tax collector, you need to inspect the army and evaluate whether the entire Raging Bear Legion is worth 2.5 million tax coins.
The evaluation is also very simple. One person is 5 tax coins; a soldier with all individual equipment and qualified training is 10 tax coins. These soldiers have a price. Add in the total price of all the equipment, and that's the price of the entire Raging Bear Legion.
It seems reasonable and simple arithmetic, but in fact, there are too many nonsense things in between.
The price difference between soldiers and ordinary people has doubled. Who has the final say here, whether a soldier is a qualified Astra Militarum
There needs to be someone here. Representatives of the Astra Militarum, along with tax collectors and representatives from the Ministry of Military Affairs, came to evaluate whether the soldiers' training level was up to standard.
Of course it is natural to strictly follow the rules, but
Why do we say that the empire is corrupt? Since there are people here to do the work of evaluation and judgment, then naturally there are people who canA place where trouble occurs.
Can soldiers fail to meet the standards of the Astra Militarum? That is very, very high. In quite a few worlds, the quality of the local planetary defense forces cannot reach the level of the Astra Militarum. Only a few elites in the defense force can meet the standards.
But using the Planetary Defense Force to offset the Astra Militarum is still a good idea. In some places, when replenishing the Astra Militarum soldiers, civilians simply put on military uniforms, undergo simple training, and get weapons.
Of course these are not acceptable in terms of rules, but not necessarily in actual operation.
It depends on how the planetary governor does things.
Even, in some places, this has become a semi-open secret.
It’s already good enough to have enough soldiers, and I haven’t even taken your free money yet.
No matter it is an ancient feudal society or a modern society, or a cosmic empire like the Empire that stretches across the star sea, as long as it is human beings and a society composed of human beings, some bad things are not new at all.
Except for the soldiers, the weapons and equipment are also the same. As small as a rifle, a piece of plastic armor, as large as a Lion tank, they all have standard pricing in the Imperial Military Affairs Department.
There is no room for nonsense here.
However, whether the equipment is new, old or incomplete, what is the qualification rate, whether the production process is compliant, and whether the ammunition is sufficient
The answers to these questions will all affect the price of weapons and equipment. .
Generally speaking, joint tax collection teams composed of representatives from the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Taxation, and the Astra Militarum will not be particularly strict in blocking people in these places.
The reason is also very simple. The imperial tax can easily reach tens of millions. There are too many people and too many things. It is impossible to read and check every one of them. Sampling inspection has become an inevitable means. Moreover, there are some mistakes and omissions, not because the planetary governor intends to do bad things, nor because there is any problem with the governor's ability, but because the objective facts are here, nothing can be perfect.
As long as you have a look, that’s it.
This is not just the special case of establishing the Astra Militarum on the planet Raging Owl, but the same is true for normal taxes.
People want to be healthy adults. Does having problems with eyesight count as healthy? Does having problems with teeth count as healthy? Does stuttering count as having chronic diseases?
In terms of material taxes, whether the food is old or new , weapons and equipment
The same reason.
Sticking with the rules, how many planetary governors will Louise have to execute after a round of taxation?
It is necessary to turn a blind eye. This cannot even be regarded as corruption, but as a sign of corruption. Reality must be compromised. You, the planetary governor, should prepare a little more than the original tax amount as a redundancy; as long as the tax officer doesn't tax you to death, everyone can get by.
In addition, some personal benefits are collected in the middle, which determines the degree of turning a blind eye.
Of course, in actual operation, it is not impossible to stick to the rules.
This situation usually occurs when you want to mess with someone.
Many staff led by Lois and Gallardo rejected the Alliance's Wind Falcon. Their starship had its own spaceship, which happened to be the Traveler.
Gu Hang, as well as many executives of the alliance, were also asked not to invite travelers who were part of the tax fleet to go west.
The entire journey is estimated to take no more than three hours.
It is indeed more than twice as fast as the Wind Falcon.
On the spaceship, the War Apostle said two things to Gu Hang.
The content of the first paragraph is to praise Gu Hang’s outstanding work on the Raging Owl Star, which has developed the place well, and also praises Gu Hang’s outstanding performance on the Black Arrow Star, pacifying the Pegasus. The Gu family, the most important imperial chamber of commerce force in the sector, is in civil strife. Although the Gu family has suffered some losses, it has become more united and stronger, and will definitely develop well in the future. And such a Gu family, combined with the Raging Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star, has such good development prospects, so it should have more support for the empire's cause.
This supported number can be 300 million tax coins.
If the Raging Owl Star, the Black Arrow Star, and the Gu family can jointly come up with this fund to additionally fund the empire’s great cause, the Sun Expedition, then Gallardo will be very happy, and he will bring Gu Hangzhou is regarded as a friend.
The second paragraph is related to a specific thing at the moment.
He hates many of the current rotten conditions in the Empire, and he especially hates the tampering with the Astra Militarum. He cited several incidents that occurred during the rectification of the Tai actors. Some Astra Militarum troops simply did not reach the level of strength that the Astra Militarum should have. However, he believed that a rising star like Gu Hang would be able to meet the level requirements of the new Astra Militarum Legion.
Putting these two paragraphs together, Gu Hang could clearly understand what they meant.
You pay me 300 million, and I will not only ignore you for what you want to do on the Black Arrow Star, but I will also give you some help.
I know very well how tricky it is for you planetary governors to deal with tax deductions for the Astra Militarum. If you don't give me these 300 million, don't tell me that I will cause you a hundred troubles later. Even now, don't expect me to pass the review for your angry bear army.
After listening to these two paragraphs, Gu Hang almost laughed angrily.
With the arrival of the War Apostle and the reminder from the tax officer, Gu Hang had already expected that as the governor of the most dilapidated planet in the Pegasus sector, he would be targeted for surgery.
< p>He was even prepared to lose money and avoid disaster.The premise is that the price is not too outrageous.
But, open your mouth, 300 million
You can’t grab money so quickly
Obviously, this cannot be the price that the angry owl star can afford. The current annual output value of the entire alliance is only more than 30 million tax coins. Even selling the entire Raging Owl Star would not be enough to raise the money.
He was staring at the back of Gu Hang’s buttThe Gu family in front.
But the problem is, based on Gu Hang’s understanding of the Gu family’s situation, the Gu family cannot afford this money.
The Gu family's total revenue last year was about 10 billion tax dollars, but most of it was paid as costs. The purchase of goods, transportation costs, and labor costs account for the majority.
Of course, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce also has to pay imperial tax, and it never considers the cost and directly charges 10% of the turnover. Moreover, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce is subject to various legal restrictions, and many methods that can obtain high profits cannot be used casually.
Not to mention that there are high risks in interstellar navigation. If a ship full of cargo is lost, both the buyer and the seller will lose money. The ship itself is expensive and the losses are huge.
If all these are discarded, Gu's Trading Company's annual profit is only about 3, which makes it look like 300 million. This takes into account the risk cost.
Based on this income, Gu's Trading Company is just working as a wage earner for the Empire. It seems that I have made a lot of money, but most of it has to be paid in taxes. After paying, what is still left in my hands is less than one-third of the taxes paid.
Gallardo wants 300 million, which is equal to Gu's firm's income for a whole year.
The key is that this income does not belong to the Gu family, but to the entire chamber of commerce. Gu's caravan is a franchised caravan. You, Gu, will use the profits that the franchised caravan should get to donate to the Sun Expedition
You will see how people rebel in minutes.
Originally due to the internal strife in the family, the Gu family is now severely weakened. Two of the fourteen merchant fleets have been lost, and the remaining twelve are missing eighteen merchant ships of various types. Three more merchant ships are missing. Billion
cannot afford it.
Unless you sell the boat.
Gu Hang would definitely not say this to his mother.
Isn’t it a joke to let the caravan sell the ship?
Gu Hang had no intention of satisfying Gallardo’s greed, which was much greater than he imagined.
Of course, he did not choose to refuse directly.
Drag first.
You, Gallardo, are a very busy man, how long can you stay in the Pegasus sector?
Hold on.
The longer he delays, the less time he will have to make trouble even if he eventually falls out.
If that doesn't work, let him talk to Wang Qi about the matter of Gu's Trading Company.
As for now, Gallardo is threatening whether the Angry Bear Legion can be established
Sorry, Gu Hang is not afraid at all.
Perhaps, there are ten thousand tricks hidden in other planetary governors' tax deductions for the Astra Militarum.
But with Gu Hang, everything is real.
Check it out.
It is best to have the time to check them one by one. If you can find out an unqualified soldier and an unqualified weapon, you will be considered powerful.
Gu Hang yelled haha in front of Gallardo and ignored him without responding directly.
Gallardo understood what Gu Hang meant.
But he was not very angry, but always had a smile on his face.
Young man, you are still young and don’t know that the world is dangerous.
Come on then.
He has encountered this situation too many times. Some people never shed tears before seeing the coffin. The senior officials of the empire will not wake up unless they are shocked.
After understanding what Gu Hang meant, he didn’t say anything more and just lay half-ly on the chair, closing his eyes and concentrating.
And they soon arrived at their destination.
The Angry Bear Legion has already assembled.
The Beast Slaughter Brigade, the 1114th Infantry Division, the 2633rd Infantry Division, and the 35th Combined Brigade are all in place.
Thanks to the fact that there had been no fighting in the Western Theater Command before this, Blackbird Heavy Industries' combat power was temporarily pushed further west. Otherwise, a total of 13 division and brigade-level units would be pulled out of the defense line to engage in Review, that's really difficult.
In the previous battles, these 13 division and brigade-level units planned to be included in the Raging Bear Legion all suffered certain losses in personnel and equipment. Gu Hang also had an order long ago, asking the Logistics Department to give priority to supplying their soldiers and equipment.
As of now, these 13 divisions and brigades are fully staffed.
As the traveler landed from mid-air, the smile that had been on Gallardo's face slowly disappeared.
A war apostle, a high-ranking official who rose up in the huge battle of the Sun Crusade, one of the Sun Lord's confidants, how could he be a straw bag?
Just from In mid-air, he stared down at the military formation. With this startling glance, he knew that there was something about this army.
Although there was no official review yet, the appearance of the Raging Bear Legion left a deep impression on him.
But at this time, he only regarded this army as a show-off.
The reason is very simple. How can a standard-level Astra Militarum soldier be so well trained? Not only does it require the selection of outstanding soldiers, but it also requires long-term technical and tactical training. And this Raging Owl Star, what a mess it looked like before. Governor Gu Hang has only taken over for two years. He can make the planet look good, which is already considered powerful. How can he train a truly powerful force? Where is the army?
After the whereabouts of the army, he pulled over the representative of the Astra Militarum who came with the team and whispered something.
The other party nodded, indicating that he understood.
