Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 170

170. Chapter 170, Can’t you bear to leave me?

Martins was also moved when he heard that there was a new power armor, which also included a set of Terminators.

Terminator-type power armor has much stronger performance than ordinary power armor.

The armor is thicker, the built-in power system is more powerful, and it can be equipped with heavier weapons and equipment. Whether it is used as a powerful fire support platform at medium and long distances, or in close combat, it has incomparable advantages. Even inside its heavy shoulder armor, there is a small shield generator with two bursts, which further enhances the ability of the Terminator armor.

In the past, when the Phoenix was still developed, there were only dozens of Terminators for the entire regiment of 1,000 people.

Compared with ordinary tactical armor, Terminator armor has two disadvantages:

First, it is expensive, and much more expensive.

Second, it is not flexible enough.

After wearing the Terminator, it is probably not possible to move silently. Terminator armor, which is three or four times heavier than ordinary armor and also has a shield generator, will also hinder flexibility even if it also has a neural interface and electronic muscle bundles.

But compared to the stronger firepower, stronger strength, thicker armor, and energy shield it provides, the loss of flexibility is completely acceptable.

Martins couldn’t help but sigh: If he had a set of Terminator armor in the battle on the surface, Schneider would not have died.

Stronger equipment is not only for himself, but also to protect more fighting brothers around him.

In addition, he also noticed that Gu Hang mentioned more power armor.

Obviously, this is to prepare for the development of more people in the regiment in the future. Using the gene seeds of the three brothers who died in the previous battle, they can theoretically add three members. Before, he was also worried about the problem of power armor, especially Schneider’s set was severely damaged and could not be repaired.

Now, there is no need to worry.

“Thank you.” He said to Gu Hang.

Gu Hang waved his hand: “It’s my turn to thank you.”

…

Inspecting the army, visiting the injured soldiers, and visiting the Phoenix Regiment that played an important role.

This is what Gu Hang did on the way back to the orbit of the Angry Owl Star.

The way back, even if it was a starship, would take several days to fly.

Halfway through, he also saw a new system message: Another month had passed, and the monthly fixed grace points had been distributed.

This time, the grace points had increased compared to the last time. The increase was not particularly large, but it had reached 678 points.

The main growth came from the newly included Garbage Town. One hundred thousand workers in the town, one hundred thousand scavengers, a total of two hundred thousand people, gave a monthly grace income of 55 points.

There was still a lot of room for growth. Garbage Town was semi-shut down in the past month. Due to the war, scavenging, raw material processing, and supporting service industries were mostly stopped, resulting in the fact that productivity was not tapped at all, so there were many people, but not many grace points.

Now that the war has stopped, related production is resuming, and I think this number will eventually have a relatively high growth rate.

In addition, Weixing City, Fuxing City, and other scattered camps that were recovered and preserved were also given some points, and the total was this number.

When this month’s “salary” arrived, even if the 500 points of grace that Gu Hang spent to upgrade his level to LV5 were removed, the grace points he had on hand were still as high as 4658 points!

He had only one thought, to go back quickly and build the building system that had been unlocked but not yet built; to draw the technology that should be drawn.

After spending all these more than 4,000 points, the development of his territory will reach a new level.

He has never been so rich!

He even remembered the things he talked about with his cousin before.

The investment of the Gu family?

No need. Do

cheaters need to spend money?

I, Gu Hang, can develop my planet to this point now, all thanks to my own efforts!

Technology panel, draw it for me!

Building panel, build it for me!

To be honest, after learning about the various shitty things about his predecessor, his predecessor’s mother, his predecessor’s family, and the star district government from his cousin, Gu Hang didn’t have much feeling in his heart, neither hope nor disappointment.

At least in his own development, he never expected help from others.

Gu Hang is developing well on his own, relying on the black box that would make the Mechanicus drool. He is not afraid of anything else.

Just give me time and don’t do too many tricks.

However, the problem lies here.

Not counting on the support and help of others is one thing, but not unexpectedly, it is another.

His identity, the reason for his appointment, and the political struggle of various forces gathered on the Angry Owl Star are all inseparable vortexes.

If he wants to develop well without being disturbed, Gu Hang, as the governor, really can’t just ignore it.

He must be clear about what kind of political ecology he is facing.

The information brought by Wang Jiarong gave him a lot of inspiration.

As the head of the Qianglong star region, Peddes must suppress the Fachs family, which is a local snake. The two sides are engaged in political struggles around the Angry Owl Star. The Gu family was originally in the Peddes camp. Now it is probably not at the stage of jumping out of the car, but at least they don’t want the two sides to be so deeply tied, and want to repair the relationship with the local snake.

But the head of Peddes is obviously not happy. He tricked the fool who was Gu Hang’s predecessor into joining the game. On the one hand, he wanted to get something for nothing and get the Gu family to pay to help him solve the problem of the Angry Owl Star; on the other hand, even if it didn’t work, it would interrupt the process of repairing the relationship between the Gu and Fa families, and prevent one of his corners of the Tianma Iron Triangle from falling to the other party.

There are many twists and turns in this.

Combining some memories and information in his mind, he grasped a key point: to put it bluntly, the Gu family’s business has been doing well in recent years, and its influence has spread more and more to multiple surrounding star regions, not just limited to the Tianma star region. Their dependence on the leader Peidesi has decreased, and on the contrary, the demand for the source of goods and key markets such as Faches has increased.

This is a change in the overall situation, which has led to some adjustments in the overall strategy of the Gu family.

And when it comes to himself, the situation will be even more complicated.

He is a member of the Gu family, but he has a bad relationship with his mother. The Gu family also opposes him to be the governor, and after he took office, they don’t care;

He was the one who was appointed by Peidesi with the letter of appointment, but Peidesi essentially wanted to drag Gu into the water, but because Gu quickly cut ties with Gu Hang, the plan failed to materialize, and even the relationship with Gu Hang became more tense. It is hard to say what attitude this leader has towards Gu Hang now.

The Fofana family, to which Ye Lishi belongs, is currently on the same side as Peidesi, so there is no need to separate them for the time being.

The Fachers family was Gu’s enemy in the past, and they are now repairing their relationship. But the governor’s behavior of consolidating power on the planet will inevitably affect their important asset arrangements. No matter what relationship and position they will have with Gu in the end, it will definitely not be good with Gu Hang.

“That’s not right! After analyzing it this way, why do I feel that my current political environment is so bad? Everyone is my enemy?”

He rubbed his head and felt that his thinking should not be so rigid.

This situation is definitely wrong, and Gu Hang really needs to find a political collaborator and backer. Otherwise, his previous idea of using military merit and the threat of greenskins to form a Star Army to offset taxes would become a fantasy.

How could he find a way to pass on the message to the Imperial Military Affairs Department?

He had to find a suitable person to help him turn the fruits of victory in this war into tangible benefits.

“There must be a way…”

He calmed down and thought about it carefully.

Of the three parties that can be contacted at present, the Fachers family is excluded first.

They are not familiar with each other, and there are major conflicts of interest, which are almost irreconcilable. What they want is for the Angry Owl Star to leave the empire. If that doesn’t work, the next best thing is a puppet governor, so that the Blackbird Heavy Industry invested in the Angry Owl Star can continue to not pay taxes, and even let their three planets evade taxes without supervision. Gu Hang can’t cooperate with them, even if their important industries are on the Angry Owl Star and within his nominal rule.

This is an enemy.

The enemy of the enemy is the most likely to win, that is, the head of Pedes.

This is relatively more promising than the Gu family. After all, doing a good job on the Angry Owl Star is Pedes’ core goal, which is consistent with himself.

And the Gu family is not completely impossible, after all, there is a biological mother.

Then there is no point in continuing to guess.

Gu Hang decided to talk to them separately.

Gu Hang’s core demand is to get the Star Army tax deduction thing done, saving 10 million tax coins. Whoever can help him get this done is a good friend.

From this perspective, his goal is quite clear.

…

When Ye Lixia knew that Gu Hang was coming to visit, she had just ended her contact with her family.

Although the relevant battle reports have not been submitted yet, she must discuss this matter with her family first. Fofana has deep roots in the navy. He is familiar with how to polish the battle reports, how to prepare in advance, how to make things clear, how to build momentum and pave the way, and all he needs is real combat results.

In her mind, she still has her father’s face, which is obviously smiling in his heart but trying to hold it back, and he praised her for doing a good job with a ruddy face.

She is also very happy.

I am so proud!

Who dares to say that I am a relative now? The real combat results are in his face!

What is Gu Hang doing now?

However, she is in a good mood at the moment, and anything is fine.

In her captain’s room, she met Gu Hang.

After a brief greeting, Gu Hang stated his purpose: he hoped to have a call with Chief Pedes.

There is no such condition on the Angry Owl Star for cross-galaxy communication. Even on the armed merchant ship, the Beautiful Girl, which is equivalent to the specifications of a destroyer, the most they can do is send letters, and they cannot make real-time calls.

After thinking about it, Ye Lixia roughly understood why Gu Hang wanted to meet the leader.

She smiled and said, “Fortunately, the communication cabin on the ship was not damaged in the battle. I have a dedicated line to the leader’s office, but I can’t guarantee whether the leader has time to see you.”

“It’s okay.”

Ye Lixia asked someone to dial the psychic communication.

Soon, a message came:

“Leader Pedes will have time to talk in 20 minutes, and the time has been arranged.”

Ye Lixia turned around and said to Gu Hang, “It seems that we are lucky.”

The next thing is to wait.

While waiting, Gu Hang chatted with Ye Lixia for a few words.

Mainly mentioned his concept of the Star Army.

There is nothing that cannot be said, and this does not conflict with the navy.

However, after listening to his idea, Ye Licia widened her eyes and sighed: “You are really wild.

You dare to think of such an idea.” “Then tell me, is it feasible?”

“I think it’s feasible.” Ye Licia said, “Anyway, even if you build the Star Army and are transferred away, you won’t lose anything.”

“Then is it possible not to be transferred away? Or, if you are transferred, it will be temporary.” Gu Hang said, “Just like the Pegasus Fleet.”

“I understand what you mean.” Ye Licia said, “If it can be like the Pegasus Fleet, then you really made a profit. But that’s quite difficult.”

“That’s why I’m going to find our leader.”

“Then I wish you good luck.” The female captain didn’t want to talk more. This matter had nothing to do with her, and she would not help Gu Hang with advice.

Gu Hang also ended the topic and talked about another thing: “Next, will you and your starship continue to be stationed in the orbit of the Angry Owl Star?”

“The Quintet will not be stationed here.” Ye Licia said with some regret: “The damage to the starship is not light. It must be towed to repair the ship as soon as possible. The nearest forging world is ‘Fire Lord Star’, which takes two months to sail to. By then, in order to ensure the safety of the Quintet, the fleet headquarters may also allocate a force to escort the Quintet there. This battleship, optimistically estimated, will take two or three years to repair before it can return to full condition. But you don’t have to worry, since there is a two-year escort period, if the Quintet is gone, another ship will be transferred to do the same job.”

“Oh.” Gu Hang nodded, and asked, “What about you? I won’t let you, a general, go with the Quintet to repair the ship for a few years, right?”

“That’s not the case.” Ye Lixia said, “There are several possibilities. Maybe I will be transferred to a certain ship. If I am of the same rank as the original captain, I will be an observer. If my rank is higher, the captain will temporarily accept my command. In short, it will be a transition and I will perform the original mission

of the ship. It is also possible to be transferred to a higher-level military academy for further study and lectures. The specific arrangements will depend on the arrangements above.” “Then…” Gu Hang said, “If I am transferred to another ship, is there a way to transfer to the ship that will come to the Wrathful Owl Star?”

“Hahaha!”

Ye Lixia laughed coquettishly. After finally stopping, she said with a lingering smile: “Why, you can’t bear to leave me?”

Gu Hang nodded sincerely: “Yes, we had a pleasant cooperation before, and the occasional conflicts were just accidental, so I really can’t bear to leave.”

“I can’t bear to leave, but there is nothing I can do.”

“You will think of a way.” Gu Hang continued to say seriously, “After all, we still have a war to fight.”

“Oh?” Ye Lixia became interested.

Every time Gu Hang talked about “war”, it was a meritorious service.

But at this time, Gu Hang was unwilling to say more: “You will know when the time comes. If you have other good opportunities, then go. If not, stay in the orbit of the Angry Owl Star, and you will not be disappointed.”

Ye Lixia thought for a while: “Okay, then I will try my best to think of a solution.”
