Chapter 706, Firm Path

Gallardo told Gu Hang in detail the current opinions of the big bosses on alliance matters in Holy Terra.

Before Gu Hang's "Alliance Plan" was delivered, the attitude was relatively unified: they recognized Gu Hang's achievements, but were extremely wary of Gu Hang becoming a bigger and stronger new armor.

The overall strategy is to divide and dismember the alliance.

Don't say it's unfair to meritorious ministers. The empire is so big, the history is so long, and there have been thousands of heroes. There are only a few people who make supreme achievements and then get what they want and end well.

Those who die in battle and are honored after death are considered good.

There are too many people whose merits have been ignored, people who sacrificed in vain, people who were falsely claimed, people who were wronged, people who were sacrificed, people who were put to death, people who were interrogated as traitors... there are too many.

Gu Hang didn’t think he would be a special exception.

The war is over, and the alliance, which was originally the product of mistakes, should also come to an end.

What's more, it's not a complete mistreatment of Gu Hang.

Although the alliance is about to be dismantled, it depends on whether Gu Hang understands the situation or not.

This is also what Gallardo has been working towards during this period.

Gallardo was unable to prevent the alliance from being dismembered. This matter has become a huge trend. Even if Gallardo tries to stop it, he will be caught in the wheel and run over to death.

He could only delay with great difficulty.

Even if it is a delay, his true intention is that he does not want Gu Hang to continue to maintain the alliance.

Obediently dismembered the alliance, showed his loyalty to the Gongun princes of Holy Terra, and then revealed some grievances, and then put it into operation, trying to find a way to enter the center... This set of procedures, in his opinion, is worse than Wowo in the eastern border of the empire. It's much better to be a landowner.

He delayed the disintegration of the alliance in order to gain more space for activities.

However, the "Alliance Plan" disrupted everything and directly changed the tendencies of all the forces on Holy Terra.

The most drastic changes occurred in the Imperial Taxation Department.

In the blink of an eye, more than 300 billion tax dollars will be available next year; after ten years of drawing a big pie, it will reach 1.3 trillion by then.

This smells amazing!

The Imperial Taxation Department not only collects taxes, but also handles financial expenditures, which is also within the scope of their duties.

They should be called the Finance Department, but the matter of tax collection is so important to the empire that it overshadows the responsibilities of other parts.

The two biggest headaches for the tax department are: taxes not coming in and money being spent too fast.

Gu Hang's "Alliance Plan" solved these two problems for him at once.

There was plenty of money, so the holes were patched;

It is easy to pay, at least it will be very easy. The tax department only needs to go to one place to collect all the taxes in the five star regions, and there will be no problem of tax collection.

As a result, they have become the force with the biggest and fastest change in attitude.

Of course, the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Taxation is not an independent political faction, but belongs to the faction of Prime Minister Qi Bodu. If the Prime Minister made a clear and strict decision, they would have to vote against it honestly even if they were greedy for Gu Hang's money.

But isn’t it that Qi Bodu hasn’t spoken yet?

Before that, Prime Minister Xu Bojin of the Ministry of Taxation was working hard to get the Prime Minister to stand up.

On the contrary, it's a good thing.

On the other hand, Executive Yuan Prime Minister Luo Fei is a strong opposition.

One of the most important powers of the Executive Yuan lies in the appointment of officials. Locally, the positions in the five star regions were all empty, all given to Gu Hang. They had lost the right to intervene in the government affairs of the five star regions, so they were naturally unhappy.

Even if the Ministry of Taxation said it could give you more money and approve more budgets, it still failed to convince Prime Minister Luo Fei.

On the contrary, Luo Fei is still planning to threaten Kashfu's neck by appointing some officials directly under the Ministry of Taxation.

By the way, Luo Fei is also the right-hand man of Prime Minister Qi Bodu.

Conflicts arose within the Prime Minister's circle because of Gu Hang's money.

Gallardo was definitely on Gu Hang's side.

The remaining high lords have not made their stance clear yet. Although there had been rumors before this that they agreed that the alliance should not be allowed to develop so unscrupulously in Eastern Xinjiang, a struggle started within the Prime Minister's circle, and many people were not in a hurry to speak out.

At the same time, Gu Hang's personal connections and even interest exchanges established during the war also played some role at this time.

Representatives of the Space Marines, the Cult of Mars, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Astra Militarum... all had some subtle changes in their attitudes.

In fact, Gu Hang was still secretly pushing for one thing: he hoped that Su Lie would replace Organglong and become the representative of the Space Marines.

He had talked to Su Lie about this earlier.

As a founding group of the Phoenix Chapter, there is no political obstacle to being a representative of the Space Marines themselves.

He became the representative of the Space Marines. After having a seat on the High Council, he would be of great help in mobilizing the resources of the Empire and finding ways to restore the chapter that had suffered heavy losses in the war.

As for Organlon, who is currently serving as the representative of the Space Marines, and is the Grand Master of the Death Angel Chapter, he himself is a target that can be fought for.

The internal ecology of the Space Marines is different from others. For some historical reasons, they are not so keen on fighting for positions. Most Chapters who are eligible to serve as Representatives view the position of Space Marine Representative as a heavy burden. They don't want to have too much to do with mortal politics.

They are contrary to most situations because the Space Marines are too important and many things must be related to them, so there must be a respected Space Marine representative in the High Lords Council seat who can serve as a communication channel.

It was the Empire that begged the Space Marines to have a proper meeting here.

Otherwise, sometimes without this restriction, the Space Marines would do some outrageous things, and it would be difficult for the Empire to handle them.

Su Lie can go and have a good exchange with Organglong - the two of them are familiar with each other - and it is very possible to change positions.

The entire Space Marine community should also support the Phoenix Chapter in completing its reconstruction as soon as possible. The Founding Group represents the original source of Space Marines, and their status is still very different.

Su Lie went up, and Gu Hang completed another part of his selfishness.

Are you, Su Lie, embarrassed to vote against me in the Supreme Council?

In addition, Gu Hang also communicated with Mars.

There were also Mars troops in the previous Western Front Expeditionary Force. The great sage who led the team was very interested in some of the technologies left behind by the Alfonzo sect, especially those related to the insect swarm.

They haven't even left yet.

Gu Hang planned to open the door to convenience for them, and if necessary, he could even use the black box as a gift in exchange for part of Martian's support.

On the Inquisition side, although a simple comrade-in-arms relationship is not easy to implement, the Heresy Tribunal later joined forces to establish an office within the alliance to monitor the corruption of the alliance. This made the Heresy Tribunal very happy; the Foreign Affairs Tribunal is also following suit. The alliance establishes some cooperative links. Gu Hang planned to donate heavily and even send troops into the two major tribunals. If these cooperations can be negotiated, the Tribunal may also change its attitude.

There are relatively few contacts in the state church. The fighting sisters of Holy Mercy Lily are trying to smooth things over, so the hope is not very high. But similarly, they have no immediate interests themselves and their opposition is not strong.

In short, Gu Hang was thinking of various ways, just turn around one by one among the thirteen high lords.

Looking at it this way, it is not hopeless to retain the alliance and obtain all five star regions.

Gu Hang even went one step further and sought to become the chairman of the Spider Web Universe.

The current chairman of the Spider Web Universe can leave him alone. The official imperial power of the Spider Web Universe was defeated at the very beginning of the war. The iron-armored one was so powerful. Although it was a bit outrageous and unjustifiable to blame the Spider Web Universe government, someone must take the blame for this matter. He There is no shirking the responsibility.

The Chairman of the Spider Web Space Territory, who must step down, and the entire Space Territory government have basically fallen apart, and they were meant to be rebuilt.

What's more, in the entire spider web universe, the most central Princess Star Territory has been washed by the Extermination Order. The rest of the places are either within the five major star territories planned by the alliance, or on the northern and western fronts. On the battlefield, thousands of planets were fought and fought. After suffering from the Iron Armor and Empire's military disasters, suffering from insect plagues, and the incompetence of the star domain government, some of the problems that originally existed in each star domain began to break out. Rebels are emerging, Chaos cults are taking advantage of the situation, and there are even some Eldar pirate groups...

Now, the matter of appointing the chairman of the Spider Web Universe is a troublesome matter.

Promote from local?

There is no one left.

Go down from the center?

The location of this hot potato is simply terrible.

Senior officials are not willing to go, but those with a slightly lower position may be willing to try their luck, but the Prime Minister is also worried and is unwilling to use such people.

What the Empire Central Committee hopes is for a strong political man with resources to clean up the mess in the Spiderweb Star Territory. Can a person with few resources and no particularly strong talents be able to do a good job? When the time comes, the empire will continue to produce blood, but it still fails to see results, which will be troublesome.

What if Gu Hang is willing to take over?

He is the political strongman, and his governance ability has been clearly demonstrated.

He also has enough resources, and the Alliance's five-star domain is right next to him, which can continue to stabilize the situation in the spider web domain and even provide further support for construction.

No matter how you think about it, it's pretty good.

It is the existence of the alliance itself that is the biggest obstacle.

Without the Alliance, something that chokes the men on Holy Terra, there would be no obstacles for Gu Hang to win the chairmanship of the Spider Web Universe.

But then again, it was also because of the existence of the alliance that Gu Hang was the more suitable candidate.

It's difficult for both sides.

But Gu Hang believes that these are all opportunities.

It all depends on people, just strive for it.

At least, the "Alliance Plan" letter has brought some relief from the situation that was originally destined for the empire center to take action against the alliance.

This is Gu Hang's analysis after listening to what Gallardo said about the current political situation in Holy Terra.

So why not take this opportunity to strive for more?

Once he obtained the identity of the Chairman of the Spider Web Universe, Gu Hang was not only able to continue to expand his power, but also obtained a key ticket - he had the opportunity to enter the Supreme Council of Holy Terra through the recommendation of the Universe Presidium. go.

"You have chosen a path that is far more difficult than I thought."

Gallardo commented this way.

But Gu Hang replied:

"But this way is the most determined."

…

After ending the important call with Gallardo, Gu Hang returned to the work at hand.

Various military tasks have long been de-emphasized, and can only be gradually pushed forward according to inertia.

Diplomatic work needs to be stepped up, and all kinds of planning are based on making friends.

But the good news is that it has already made a good start.

Later, the diplomats and liaison officers of the alliance are already working hard. Gu Hang does not need to take care of many specific matters personally.

And his own energy should be put back into another thing that needs his personal care: post-war construction.

At this time, he became down-to-earth again and no longer imagined too many things. The role of the chairman of the Spider Web Universe has not been decided yet, and he does not plan to manage other areas of the Spider Web Universe for the time being.

Even darker thoughts, the more chaotic the better.

When the empire feels that this post-war ruins and countless headaches need to be solved, not only will it not make a profit if it is taken back, but it will continue to bleed, and bleed heavily, then Gu Hang will become more and more important.

Even regarding the construction of the three star fields of Proud Claw, Nepeta, and Alfonzo, Gu Hang does not intend to pay special attention.

Focusing on the town, all places can settle down according to the old method of insect control. The post-war reconstruction work can be done according to the conditions of each planet.

The more important construction is still in the two star regions of Longying and Menghe.

That is the place that Gu Hang really regards as his home.

Even if the alliance is really going to be dismembered in the future, whether it is political and economic confrontation or even deteriorating to the point of military confrontation, the base camp is the core he relies on most.

Even if the "Alliance Plan" is approved in the future, the high taxes will also need to be borne by the alliance.

After all, this money can only be paid by a strong and wealthy alliance.

Building the home is the top priority.

He doesn't need to worry about conventional construction methods. The alliance government has been established for decades and can operate stably. Compared with the bloated system of the empire, it can even be called efficient.

And what Gu Hang has to do personally is to add fuel to the construction, develop the alliance, and install a few more engines.

Then the accumulated grace points in the system, which are already very large, will have to play a role.

The last time he spent a lot of grace points was more than three years ago when he pacified the Alfonzo Star Region.

The real war broke out from then on, including the counterattack on the western front, the advance into the Princess Star Region on the southern front, and the most critical second battle of Reyaduches.

After a series of victories in the war, the accumulated grace points have reached an astronomical figure.
