Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 12

Chapter 12, Commodore Captain

Ye Lixia felt a little annoyed when she thought about dealing with Gu Hang.

As a serious Commodore of the Imperial Navy and the captain of a strike cruiser, she is an absolute big shot in the Tianma Star Region.

Which one is more important, a Commodore or a Planet Governor?

There are only seven cruisers in the Imperial Navy stationed in the entire Tianma Star Region; in contrast, there are nine planets in the Tianma Star Region, which is about the same number.

The two are not in the same system. The identity of the planetary governor is special, but generally belongs to the imperial administrative system; the captain of the starship is the military system of the Imperial Navy.

In theory, the head of the star region does not have the ability to directly command the Imperial Navy.

Of course, this is not the case in reality.

The Tianma Fleet was established by the Tianma Star Region, and most of the officers and soldiers were recruited and selected from various planets in the star region; the starships were also bought with money from the star region’s finances; and the logistical supplies were also provided by the star region. In terms of mission, the Tianma Fleet is also responsible for the defense of the Tianma Star Region, and it has to cooperate with the star region government, so its independence is indeed not that strong.

In short, the status of the seven cruiser captains and the nine planetary governors in the Tianma Star Region is not easy to compare, and they are roughly the same.

But if it comes to Gu Hang and Ye Lishiya, it is different.

There are nine planetary worlds in the Tianma Star Region, and although the levels of the other eight are also uneven, they are all local lords. Only this Angry Owl Star is a difficult problem.

According to past practices, if Gu Hang became the governor, it would be not much different from being sentenced to two years of suspended death sentence. How can it be compared with Ye Lishiya?

Ye Lishiya also came from a noble family. The Fofana family she belonged to was an ally of the Gu family and a supporter of the current head of the star region.

And she herself is a rising star in the military, the most dazzling rising star in the Tianma Star Region Navy, and the only female and youngest among the seven captains.

To be able to sit in this position, family background is of course important, but her own ability cannot be ignored.

Gu Hang and Ye Lishiya are very different.

However, the female brigadier general also has her own troubles.

It has been nearly two years since she was promoted to captain of the Quintet, and doubts are still coming one after another. Age, qualifications, gender… have all become targets of attack.

As for ability? Just talking about ability is too idealistic, and it can’t make a living unless it is transformed into achievements that cannot be questioned.

She really wanted to fight a beautiful battle. Punching green warlords, kicking Chaos traitors, exterminating void zerg…

anything is fine, anyway, just fight a hearty victory and return with honor, and see who dares to point fingers at me in the future.

As a result, the battle did not gain anything, but instead came to the Angry Owl Star to escort the family’s political ally, the young man who was sent to be the governor.

He stayed there for two years.

She was very unhappy, but she had no way to resist, so she could only go to work angrily.

It was already annoying, and that guy always made trouble for her.

She couldn’t figure out now whether the Gu family valued Gu Hang or not.

If you say you value it, why was it sent to such a place? It is not impossible to take on the heavy responsibility of developing the difficult Angry Owl Star, but I have not seen your Gu family invest much resources?

But if you say you don’t value it, why would the star district government send one of the only seven cruisers of the Pegasus Fleet, the Quintet that she leads, to stay here for two years?

I can’t figure it out.

There is no need to think too much.

She considers herself a soldier, so she should be more pure and just follow orders.

The order she received was to ensure that the Angry Owl Star remained loyal to the Empire, assist the planetary governor, and provide military support.

In this matter, she never thought of creating difficulties for Gu Hang. As long as the governor made a request, she would perform the duties of the Imperial Navy.

In her opinion, what she had to do was nothing more than to deter the surface from orbit and strike when necessary. There was no pressure, and she could just do things step by step.

But Gu Hang didn’t ask her to help with the bombing, but took away a group of slaves and soldiers.

She didn’t expect this.

She didn’t want to give it at first, but Gu Hang persuaded her to give it to her, so she still fooled her people away.

When she came to her senses, she still felt regretful.

I can help you fight, but you can’t kidnap my people!

This is not within her scope of responsibility.

Moreover, she is in the Imperial Navy. It is true that there are 100,000 people on the ship. It seems a lot, but a huge ship with a total length of 11 kilometers needs so many people to start.

If Gu Hang takes too many people away, it will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the starship.

What’s more, the combat power of the navy is all on the starship. Away from the starship, a population of 100,000 people, thrown on the surface, can’t even make a splash on the planetary scale.

Compared with the Imperial Guard, which is specialized in land warfare and has a legion of millions of people, they are not of the same order of magnitude in terms of numbers.

Gu Hang took away more than 3,000 people, which did not affect the operation of the starship, but this matter cannot be repeated.

This time, after receiving another communication request from Gu Hang, Ye Lixia made up her mind that she would not meet any request unless there was a combat mission.

After adjusting her mood, she sat upright and asked the technician to connect Gu Hang’s communication signal.

Gu Hang’s head appeared on the screen in the center of the command desk.

“Brigadier General Ye Lixia, hello, I haven’t seen you for half a month, and you have become more beautiful!”

The female brigadier general said with a stern face: “Governor, please don’t be so slick, just say what you want to say.”

“Don’t be so serious, I have good news to tell you.”

“What news?”

“Our troops annihilated a rebel army on the Angry Owl Star today, and nearly two hundred enemies of the empire were eliminated.”

A group of plunderers and wasteland bandits became “rebels” and “enemies of the empire” in Gu Hang’s description.

Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Ye Lixia didn’t know much about the specific situation on the Angry Owl Star, but despite this, she knew that what Gu Hang said was not true.

But the most important thing is…

“Two hundred enemies?” She showed disdain.

You dare to brag about this little achievement in front of me?

“I know that you don’t care about these two hundred people, Madam Brigadier General, but what if the number may be two thousand, twenty thousand, or two hundred thousand in the future?”

“Or, annihilate a greenskin warlord? Eradicate a heretical cult that does not believe in the God-Emperor? Or even eliminate the indigenous evil god?”

Ye Lixia’s expression became serious.

Hearing Gu Hang say this, she subconsciously began to think, if it is really as he said, and hundreds of thousands of imperial traitors are eliminated, a greenskin warlord is annihilated, and the evil god is killed, how about this achievement?

Isn’t it what she wants?

The thing she is most dissatisfied with coming to Angry Owl Star is that squatting for two years is a pure waste of time?

But she is not so easily fooled.

“Why do you say that the whole Angry Owl Star is about to turn upside down? Are there such enemies on Angry Owl Star?” She expressed doubt.

“It’s possible.” There is an inexplicable taste in Gu Hang’s smile.
