Chapter 705, Chairman Gu?
Every word Gu Hang said to Gallardo was the truth of what he thought in his heart.
In his opinion, entering the Supreme Council through the two routes mentioned by Gallardo was not stable.
Becoming the Supreme Commander of the Star Army and obtaining a seat for thirteen people?
Not to mention that Gallardo made the difficulty much lighter, even if he succeeded, it would be a source without roots and a tree without roots.
Gu Hang did not come from the Star Army system. Even if it is true that the Alliance Army belongs to the Star Army sequence, it is nonsense. Although the Alliance Army is strong enough, its influence is only around the Alliance after all. To put it bluntly, it is still the foundation of the Alliance itself. The Alliance Army is not like a well-known legion in the normal Star Army, which will conquer the south and the north and establish merits throughout the universe.
The foundation is not stable. You, an outsider, relied on political means to snatch the opportunity of people who are also from the Star Army, and got a seat for thirteen people. Can you sit firmly in this position?
It is not stable.
Gu Hang is not a three-year-old child. He fully understands that it is not that one has power just by sitting in that position, but that only those who have power can sit in that position.
Forcing himself to sit in that position also uses the merits that Gu Hang has built up by relying on the alliance, relying on political means, and facing huge internal friction. The Star Army system may not only not be a help, but also become a bomb under his buttocks.
Gu Hang has to spend more energy to suppress internal disorder, and has to rely more on the political forces that helped him sit in this position. At that time, the result is good, he is a puppet, and the result is bad, he will be driven out of office within two years.
The alliance was abandoned by him again, so what should he do then?
Start all over again?
Nonsense.
As for the second way mentioned by Gallardo, relying on his identity as the strongest psychic in the empire, unifying the Psychic Order, and entering the Thirteen-member Council in the name of the Chief Grand Master, there are also hidden dangers.
It may be even bigger.
The Psychic Order is a more scattered organization with less actual power.
Or to be more precise, they have power, but whether it is the think tank of the chapter, the psychic experts in the Inquisition, the various star armies, the psychic forces in the navy, the psychics on various planets... these so-called "basic plates", will they listen more to the Psychic Order or to their original superiors?
There is no doubt that it must be the latter.
The Psychic Order has long been divided into countless pieces by various affiliated institutions.
This force has basically no possibility of being unified.
And in a narrow sense, the Psychic Order may have only one A-level psychic in a star field, which is even worse than the Storm Mage Corps of the Alliance. What can they achieve by combining them alone?
Of course, it is not difficult to unite them, but their strength is too weak to support a seat in the Supreme Council.
The reason why the chief mentors in the past could not get the highest seat for hundreds of years is this: they are nominally eligible to run for election, but the actual power they control is too weak to support this scene.
Even if Gu Hang went, the result would be the same.
Unless he is willing to start all over again, spend countless years, go through countless difficulties and obstacles, and raise the authority and responsibility of the Psychic Order to the broadest stage, that is, whether it is the think tank of the Chapter, the psychic of the Inquisition... all the psychic power of the entire empire is uniformly managed and dispatched by the Psychic Order, then this is a powerful force.
It is extremely difficult.
Relying on a scattered chief mentor to enter the Council of Thirteen, it is not relying on one's own base, but on the pushers of the political forces behind.
If so, the result is the same as entering the Supreme Council through the path of the Astra Military. People can push Gu Hang in, and if they are unhappy one day, they can also kick Gu Hang out. Gu Hang can't really play the political power of the supreme seat. Voting, proposing, and doing things all depend on others.
Such a high lord is already an unattainable dream for many people. A puppet high lord is also a high lord, nominally one of the thirteen most powerful people in the empire.
But, in Gu Hang's opinion, it's meaningless.
Of course, if Gu Hang can really take the position of High Lord, he will be happy.
He can formulate a series of strategies that are beneficial to himself and the alliance from the level of the central government of the empire.
But this position must be supported by enough power of his own.
So, the last sentence he said to Gallardo meant this.
He will do the same next time.
He must first strive for the position of chairman of the universe.
There are two ideas that have not been determined yet.
Otherwise, he can get the chairmanship of the Spider Web Universe or the Eastern Universe. At that time, he will have a strong alliance as a physical support inside, and the title of the chairman of the universe, the official highest administrative chief of the universe, outside. He can do a lot in the entire universe.
As the chairman of the universe, he can send representatives to participate in central affairs in Holy Terra. Even some representatives of the universe, such as the chairman of the Devouring Star Universe who is still in office, sit in the position of high lord.
If Gu Hang becomes a high lord in this way, then he will be a truly powerful person.
The alliance controls a universe; from one universe, the influence spreads to more than ten universes in the entire eastern border of the empire, which means that any affairs concerning the eastern border of the empire, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the empire, must be approved by Gu Hang. Such power can truly support a genuine high lord position that is not hollowed out.
And why does Gu Hang refuse to give up local interests?
That's because of the system.
Gu Hang has such a huge and useful tool in his hand that played a decisive role in the history of his fortune in the past. Of course, what he has to do is to continue to play his advantages.
Giving up this advantage, giving up the foundation that has been established for decades, running to the Star Army to fight against the human government, running to the Psychic Order to find ways to compete with almost all other imperial forces for psychic authority... That is to take the crooked path instead of the grand and upright path.
Of course, Gu Hang can't tell Gallardo about the system.
However, it is possible to talk about local interests, local foundations, and the need for sufficient strength to support a truly high-level chairmanship.
However, Gallardo also felt very embarrassed about this.
He understood Gu Hang's meaning, but also said:
"It is very difficult to push you to become the chairman of the Spider Web Universe or the Eastern Universe. Your report really messed up Holy Terra."
