Chapter 702, Building Relationships

The favors that Gu Hang and the Alliance have built up in this war are precious.

Of course, it is impossible to expect that these favors will stand on one's side when the Holy Terra is rebelled. At that time, they will still come to quell the rebellion.

The stage where favors come into play is before the outbreak of the war.

To put it bluntly, Gu Hang does not really want to fall out with Holy Terra, and Terra does not want to either. However, there is a fierce contradiction between the expansion of the Alliance and the sense of security of Holy Terra.

Those so-called favors are used to reconcile contradictions and ease the situation.

However, if it is just favors, it is still a bit too loose.

Favors will gradually dissipate over time.

Gu Hang needs to take advantage of the favors and try to build a stronger and closer combination.

The cleanup work of the Zerg War is still going on, but Gu Hang, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, has no intention of caring about it.

Occasionally, they just need to sign some reports and show up at some military meetings. Most of the rest of the time, they are busy building relationships, dealing with people, and signing some agreements.

Among them, the more important ones are the things signed with various Space Marines.

In general, they are all "military mutual assistance agreements".

But according to the different natures of the target regiments, the signed agreements are also different.

For the Phoenix and the "Yellow Spring Gull Regiment" (Shadow Regiment reskin) that Gu Hang is about to launch, they are completely controlled by the Alliance, from equipment to personnel to leadership, all under the control of the Alliance. Then they are given a home planet and settled on the planet normally, and there is no need to sign any special agreement.

For the New World Torch and the Fury Regiment, the situation is a little different.

Although they are also completely controlled by the Alliance, they still have the saying of the Atonement Expedition.

For these two regiments, Gu Hang plans to sign a "Atonement Agreement" with them. The Alliance will have enough wars and need them to participate in the war, and then spend their atonement time in these hundred years.

The so-called enough wars also have a saying, and it is not entirely a fictitious war demand. Among the five star regions that Gu Hang has regarded as his own territory, there are three clear threats at the star region level - pest control in the Alfonzo and Nepeta star regions, eliminating those disabled insect swarms; re-colonization of the planets in the Princess Star Region that have not been dealt with by the extermination order; in the northern part of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, the areas where the orcs left over from the Iron Tooth War have not been cleared out also need to be resolved through re-colonization...

All of them require war.

In addition, in addition to these three significant star region-level threats, there are pirate threats in the Menghe Star Region and the Proud Claw Star Region; with a scale of five star regions and four thousand worlds, the Alliance will also promote the reform of the Alliance system in it, and the speed must be fast, and it must not be as delicate as in the past when the territory was not large. It is normal for those groups whose interests are damaged on this planet to cause some chaos.

Many social unrest cannot be resolved by force, after all, people cannot be killed. However, in this era, in the Alliance, this statement is not very applicable.

As long as there are not dozens or hundreds of worlds in chaos and they are only rebellious on the planet, then the Alliance can really kill everyone and overthrow them.

These rebellions are enough to summon the Expedition of Atonement to fight.

In short, they are "expeditioning" in the five star regions of the Alliance, and they don't have to worry about not having wars to fight.

The Empire's requirement for sentencing the Expedition of Atonement is not to give supplies or resources, and during the expedition period, they must unconditionally accept the war call of the Empire's forces.

The Alliance can use this bug.

If the Empire does not give resources and supplies, I will;

If you unconditionally accept the call for war, then I will call it all the time, and the war group will be fighting all the time. If other forces want to call, they have to wait until the Expedition of Atonement finishes the current war, right?

If it were another Expedition of Atonement, it would not be possible to use this bug. The Empire officials, especially the forces that sentenced the war group to the Expedition of Atonement, will not see you so comfortable. Being cunning and sly is disloyalty, and if you refuse to change your bad habits, I'm afraid more severe punishment measures will be imposed.

But if it falls to the Alliance, there is no need to be afraid.

Who sentenced these two warbands to the Expedition of Atonement?

It was Gu Hang.

Who is the supervisor?

Still Gu Hang.

After they got stuck with the bug, who will punish them? They have to get through the Alliance first.

Who would do this?

Except for deliberately disgusting the Alliance, no one would dare to do it.

The Dragon King's Spear Warband was also sentenced to the Expedition of Atonement, but their "crime" was relatively light, only fifteen years. But the difference between them and the Fury and the New World Torch is that the Dragon King's Spear is not a warband completely controlled by the Alliance.

There is a similar situation with the Blood Shark.

However, these two groups have the idea of ​​following the Alliance.

The Blood Sharks did not want to continue living in the precarious days of the Dark Outer Realm. They wanted a home planet to end their long wandering life. The Dragon King's Spear lost their home planet after the Atonement Expedition, but after fifteen years, they did not want to wander around anymore and wanted to get their home planet back - their home planet was in the Nepeta Star Region.

The Alliance could give them all of these.

Even if it is not possible on the political level, they can indeed get a tax-free home planet. However, it is difficult for a planet to support a complete war group, unless it is a particularly wealthy and developed world. When most war groups are assigned to an ordinary planet, they have to continue to expand their influence and provide protection to the star region or even the star region in exchange for resources with military force.

The Alliance can divide all the resources produced by a planet to the war group, and the Alliance government will help them manage it to ensure that the output is higher than that of their own management; the planet has to pay imperial taxes, but this tax can be borne by the Alliance.

In addition to the output of the home planet, the Alliance will also provide a large amount of resources based on the number of times and contributions of the war group in the alliance battle.

The Alliance has everything the war group wants.

This can be called the [War Group Military and Economic Mutual Assistance Agreement].

Of course, compared with the Fury and New World Torch, which the Alliance has completely controlled, their independence is indeed stronger. In theory, they will be able to refuse the Alliance's call for war, and even if they accept it, they have the right to act independently according to their own ideas during the battle.

While they have a certain degree of autonomy, they also lost the unconditional support of the Alliance. The support they need can only be obtained by relying on their own specific military exploits within the framework of the agreement.

That is definitely not as abundant as the resources obtained by Phoenix, Yellow Spring Gull, New World Torch, and Fury Flame.

Even the personnel replenishment, that is, the high-quality and high-success-rate gene seed implantation surgery candidates provided by the Alliance, which the two regiments have personally experienced, must be exchanged for merit.

This is actually Gu Hang's point... It's not a conspiracy, but a clever idea.

If they force personnel on them, they may feel that there is something fishy and feel uneasy; but if they need to exchange, it will be much more reassuring.

In fact, there are some new recruits from the Alliance in these two regiments. These new recruits have served in the two regiments for a few months or more than one or two years. Their performance is obvious to all the old veterans in the regiments.

Loyal, brave, and outstanding potential, it can't even be said to be potential, it's just comparable to veterans.

They had never encountered this kind of soldier quality in the past, and they had to believe that the Alliance had unique ways in selecting soldiers and cultivating elites.

Of course, these soldiers from the Alliance all had a little "small" problem, that is, they were particularly friendly to the Alliance.

But isn't this normal?

Compared with their advantages, this disadvantage is nothing at all.

Gu Hang hoped that they would have this idea.

In the future, with more time and more members from the Alliance in the war group, then naturally, the entire war group would be more inclined to stand on the side of the Alliance.

There is no need for the Alliance's battle brothers to take high positions. The benefits brought by the agreement itself and the situation of the four war groups completely controlled by the Alliance may attract them to the extent of fully joining the Alliance.

Even if it doesn't reach this step, Gu Hang is satisfied with just the existing agreement framework.

This is the situation of the six war groups that stand with the Alliance.

Gu Hang also took time to consider those war groups that have nothing to do with the Alliance after the war.

Black Crusaders, Phoenix, and Ortopis, these three are the top priorities.

Gu Hang had a good chat with the leaders of the three families, and each of them signed a "Joint Defense Agreement for the Princess Star Region and the Spider Web Universe".

This defense agreement is not particularly binding, it just says that the area mentioned in the agreement may have long-term threats in the future. For example, the remaining rebels of Iron Armor, the infected, the disabled swarm, and the new Zerg that may emerge in the void black hole in the future...

Gu Hang invited each war group to send a certain number of people to jointly defend the area.

There is no need for many people, just three or five symbolically, or even just one person as an observer.

All expenses will be paid by the alliance.

Of course, the alliance does not need them to really work hard. At present, the situation in the Spider Web Universe is easy for the alliance to handle by itself. This agreement is to keep in touch with these war groups at all times, so that everyone has a common goal, convenient for more contact, and even do business or something.

For each war group, this place is also where they fought and bled. Leaving someone to see if this area is indeed settled in the future is also a way to maintain their own achievements.

In addition, it is always good to keep communicating with the alliance. Those who have a good impression of the alliance can communicate more; those who are wary of the alliance can also take this opportunity to place someone to observe the development of the alliance.

Gu Hang is not afraid of the latter.

The three war groups that Gu Hang focused on basically agreed to leave an observation team in the end.

As for other war groups, some agreed, or said that they would go back and discuss with the war group leaders before giving a reply.

Gu Hang also has great expectations for them.

For example, the Infinite War Group and the Bat War Group are also two start-up groups. In this war, they also sent companies to participate in the war. If they are also willing to keep communicating with the alliance for a long time, it is obviously a good thing.

As for other ordinary war groups that participated in the war, their influence is relatively ordinary.

But after all, there are many of them!

On the Western Front and the Northern Front, the number of Space Marine Chapters participating in the war, which came from different places, probably added up to more than twenty.

Not to mention all of them, even if half of them can establish long-term relations with the Alliance, it is also a considerable force, and Gu Hang does not despise it at all.

The same is true for two of the three most important factions in the Inquisition, such as the Anti-foreign Order and the Heretic Order.

The Alliance pulled them together to build a "Joint Supervision and Defense Agreement", hoping that they can send branches to monitor the internal corruption and alien corruption in the Spider Web Universe.

The Alliance pays for it, and they can contribute or not. As long as this branch is established, Gu Hang's goal has been achieved.

The two families have not agreed yet, but looking at the representatives of the two families, they are all senior judges and have a very solemn status in their respective systems. Their personal attitudes are relatively positive.

The future results should be more optimistic.

Gu Hang has no particularly good way to deal with the Star Army and the Navy from various places. After all, they are not like the Space Marines, who have a strong independence, and are more subject to the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Department, the Imperial Star Army Headquarters, and the Navy Headquarters.

However, we can also go the donation route.

Gu Hang can donate some military equipment and supplies to these armies in the name of donations and establish some contacts.

Through these people, we can influence some senior generals of the Star Army and the Navy.

As for the three lines of South, North and West, there are some local troops coming from various star fields and universes, such as the armed fleet of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, which is easier to deal with.

Direct commercial trade will also have very close contacts.

In this way, through this war, the alliance has really established contacts with many forces in the northern and eastern borders of the empire.

Before this, even if Gu Hang wanted to send money, he might not have the opportunity to do so.
