Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 173

173. Chapter 173, Work Report

While thinking about the Blackbird Heavy Industry, people arrived one after another.

There were still fifteen minutes before the scheduled time, but since everyone was there, Gu Hang directly announced that the meeting would start early.

The first person to report the situation was the military leader, Colonel Yan Fangxu.

After Gu Hang took away the three brigade-level units of the 1st Xifeng Brigade, the 2nd Infantry Division, and the 3rd Independent Regiment, there were still six brigade-level units left on the surface.

The 4th to 9th Garrison Divisions have been fixed after replenishing troops and eliminating redundant teams. The main combat forces are composed of 7 infantry battalions and 2 artillery battalions, with two logistics and engineering battalions, plus the guard company, communication company, and staff of the division headquarters…

A single garrison division has a total of more than 6,000 troops. The total strength of the six divisions has reached nearly 40,000.

As the commander of the group army, Yan Fangxu divided the three war zones with Fuxing City as the center.

One of them is the Gaota War Zone. The 4th and 5th Garrison Divisions are stationed here. After the Tower War, they cleared out the remaining greenskins, and burned all the land and suspicious green plants that the greenskins were suspected to have stayed.

After the previous war, some greenskin creatures survived, such as the orc boys, fart spirits, and even a few squiggles. At most, they could only be regarded as scattered soldiers and brave men, and they were not a big deal.

But we can’t just ignore it, otherwise who knows how long it will take for a greenskin tribe to come back?

This must be something that needs to be done persistently. Such a clearing will last for many, many years, until there is no trace of any greenskin orcs for a long time, and then we can relax a little.

The second is the Central War Zone, where the 6th, 7th, and 8th Garrison Divisions are here. The 6th Division is stationed in Fuxing City and Weixing City, responsible for protecting the capital. The 7th and 8th Divisions, with Fuxing City as the center, carry out sweeping work in the west and south, with a boundary of about 300 kilometers.

It is mainly to sweep away the looters in the wasteland.

The looters will be annihilated on the spot; those who surrender or are captured will be screened according to their past crimes. Those who are extremely evil, especially those who have committed crimes against humanity such as cannibalism, will be executed directly.

Others who have committed less serious crimes will be thrown into prison – of course, they will not be fed and well fed, but will be treated as F-level, and sent to mine or pick up garbage in the ruins of the tower.

The so-called F-level treatment is not considered human. In fact, those below E-level have no human rights. Ordinary criminals, such as theft, robbery, fraud, etc., will only be reduced to E1 level at most. At least they are still treated as human beings. They will not be overly abused when they are in prison or labor reform. If they really die in prison, the prison will also be punished.

But F-level is equivalent to suspended death sentence, depriving human rights. Some murderers and other serious criminals will be thrown into this level. In essence, they are people who should be sentenced to death, but because of the pity of that little labor force, they are simply thrown into work.

These people with F-level treatment have to bring back enough quotas from the mines and ruins every day. If they don’t have enough, they won’t have food to eat, and they will be whipped. For those who exceed the quota, there will be a little food reward, plus they can accumulate work points. If they work well enough, maybe in five to ten years, they can get rid of the F-level treatment without human rights and get the normal E-level treatment.

Of course, objectively speaking, it is quite difficult. Malnutrition, high work intensity, poor living conditions, lack of medical resources… These problems will make a considerable number of people unable to survive for more than a year. Those who can survive for five years have to work harder and strive to get rid of the F-level status. Very few people can survive.

In addition to getting rid of the looters, the 7th and 8th garrison divisions will find the survivors’ camps and bring them under the direct rule of the alliance.

It is estimated that there are about 2.7 million people in this area.

For these people, the strategy they adopted is the same as before: send a working group to determine the industrial structure of the camp on the spot. Those that can form a good complement to the Fuxing Twin Cities, especially those that can produce food or industrial and light industrial raw materials, should be retained; if the complementarity is weak, or the camp itself is struggling to survive and has no industry, then the population should be migrated to Weixing City to fill the industrial population black hole.

But at present, this operation has encountered some difficulties.

At present, there are only about 700,000 people under control; among the remaining two million people, there are several large gathering places with a scale of 200,000 people. It is hard to say what the attitude of their people is, but at least the rulers of those places do not accept giving up power.

In fact, according to the policy of the New Alliance authorities, they will not lose power completely. As long as it is a peaceful handover, such gathering places with hundreds of thousands of people will not be directly abolished, otherwise too many people will rush into the Fuxing Twin Cities at once, which is not easy to eat.

On the contrary, since the town can gather so many people, it must have certain industries to feed people.

Leaving the corresponding camps, and even the corresponding ruling class, only eliminated personal dependence and private capital, and transformed into the rank-position system of the new alliance. The original ruling class will most likely be transformed into the bureaucracy under the new alliance system, enjoy relatively good treatment, and continue to manage their camps.

Of course, they will need to undergo further institutional reforms later, and these new bureaucrats will begin to accept the assessment of the new alliance government.

It is definitely far less comfortable than their previous days as local emperors.

Some people surrendered under the military power of the new alliance army, especially some small-scale settlements close to Fuxing City, which honestly returned to the rule of the new alliance. But some distant and large settlements were not willing.

The troops encountered some resistance during the advancement process.

And as the distance of advancement increased, the resistance became more and more intense. Today, several large settlements have forcibly pulled up small settlements to form a coalition. About 70,000 to 80,000 people are blocking the 7th and 8th divisions and are fighting.

The intensity of the war was not very high, and the garrison division was far from being the core force of the new alliance army. But even so, their equipment and firepower still had huge advantages, which those rabble could not compare with.

However, since the two garrison divisions added up to only more than 12,000 people, they were at a great disadvantage in numbers. They were able to advance steadily, but the speed of advancement was indeed not fast, and it would take more time to forcefully attack the survivors’ camps that were generally easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even if they were defeated, in order to avoid rebellion, they had to divide their troops and stay behind to implement martial law. Even when the relevant government personnel were added in the subsequent process of integrating the settlements, the troops were still needed to maintain law and order.

In contrast, the third war zone, the Central and Northern War Zone, only has the 9th Garrison Division. The work they do is similar to that of the friendly forces in the Central War Zone that are expanding westward and southward, but the population in the vast land north of Fuxing City is relatively sparse, and there have been no major battles. The work of gathering a population of 500,000 is basically progressing steadily.

Of course, there is another factor here: the activities of the Sisters of the Holy Mercy Lily.

In the past two months, they left Fuxing City and tracked down the nuns of the Original Angry Owl Sect all the way, following the clues all the way north. They still did a lot of things. In addition to fighting against cults, they also preached.

Their strong combat effectiveness and special identities have allowed them to form a certain influence in the north, which has greatly helped the work of the 9th Division.

This also gave the 9th Division an additional task: to accept the requests of the nuns at any time and assist them in fighting against some cult activities.

According to the intelligence sent back by the 9th Division, the nuns of the Holy Mercy Lily found that the further north they went, the more traces of the activities of the Original Angry Owl Sect there were. Sister Grit has already led the main force into the traditional northern province, and no updated intelligence has been received yet.

In the northern part of the Central Province, about 600 kilometers north of Fuxing City, the traces of the cult are quite obvious. Six nuns stayed in this area in the north, responsible for maintaining the rear route, ready to respond to the fighting sisters entering further north, and to clear out the local cults in the northern region.

After receiving the relevant needs, Yan Fangxu gave the green light, and the 9th Division had such an additional task.

The above is roughly the report of Yan Fangxu, the military chief, on the military operations during the more than one month since the governor left, and even at this stage.

After listening, Gu Hang thought for a while and gave instructions:

“I have no objection to the clearing operation of the tower ruins. The operation in the North Central Theater is also OK. Old Yan did a great job. However, the operation in the Central Theater cannot be delayed like this. I believe that the 7th and 8th Divisions will eventually win, but the slow advancement will result in huge losses. The loss of population and time are unacceptable. We must fight quickly and decisively.”

Having said that, Gu Hang turned his gaze to Thadius, who was still a lieutenant colonel but Gu Hang had decided to promote him to the rank of colonel, sitting next to Yan Fangxu. He said, “How is the recruitment of new soldiers and logistical equipment going? I need you to make up for the losses of the three troops returning from the starry sky as soon as possible. After a week of rest, our troops will go to the battlefield again.”

Thadius replied seriously, “At present, we have recruited more than 20,000 people in the new recruit training base we have established, and are conducting basic training, but the effect of the training…”

Gu Hang interrupted, “I will solve the training effect, but the 20,000 There are not enough people. In addition to replenishing the troops, I need to establish three more division-brigade units. The three newly created numbers, 10, 11, and 12, I need them to be field troops that can strike quickly and act quickly, according to the standards of the 2nd Division. At the same time, the 2nd Division must also be equipped with enough equipment, even if it cannot be fully mechanized, it must at least reach the standard of motorization. “

Taddius said decisively: “No problem, without considering the training situation, I can recruit 30,000 people in half a month. I will give a specific plan for the establishment of the three new units you mentioned later according to the current arsenal situation. The expected situation should be relatively optimistic. We may still lack the production capacity of armored vehicles, but the production of artillery, military trucks, and various types of ammunition is very good. The production capacity of the military factory group in Weixing City is growing day by day. We have enough equipment to arm the new team. “

Gu Hang calculated that if he recruited another 30,000 people, the new barracks would have 50,000 people. There is no problem in making up for the more than 4,000 soldiers lost in the three units and the troops lost in each unit. The remaining people will definitely be more than enough to form three new division-brigade units.

The three numbers 10, 11, and 12 should not be organized into a garrison division with average combat capabilities. After motorization, armed trucks are fully equipped, and the troops can carry out rapid strikes; with stronger firepower, additional armored vehicles are equipped, and the troops are on par with the 2nd Division, reaching a scale of about 9,000 people.

The combat effectiveness of such a motorized infantry division is not a problem to fight two garrison divisions.

As for the problem of training… 50,000 soldiers, all of them are T5 level, only 500 gift points, a small amount of money.

“That’s good. However, I still want to remind you that the recruitment of so many young and strong people must be carried out in a planned manner, so as not to affect the production plans of Fuxing City and Weixing City.”

“No.” Thadius replied seriously, “At present, the population influx in the two cities is very large. In the past month, 200,000 people have flowed in from the Central War Zone; 150,000 people have flowed in from the Central and Northern War Zone; there are more than 50,000 refugees from the Qinggu area; and there are more than 50,000 people diverted from the Garbage Town.”

“A total of 450,000 people have flowed in. Even though Fuxing City’s urban construction, industrial construction, service industry construction, and Weixing City’s heavy industry and military industry all require a large number of people, the expansion of production lines also takes time, and the speed of absorbing these people is not that fast. I don’t have specific figures here, but Ms. Ossena should have them. Our current unemployment rate may rise faster. The army’s recruitment offers relatively good conditions. Among those refugees who have just arrived in the city, many hope to get formal status as soon as possible and are very enthusiastic to join the army. We have helped the city solve a considerable number of unemployed people and alleviated the pressure on various industries to absorb workers.”

Gu Hang turned his eyes to Ossena.

Ossena replied in a serious manner: “Indeed, I have the corresponding production management report here, you can take a look.”

Gu Hang took a stack of papers and began to read them patiently.

At the same time, Ossena also began her report: “At present, the total population under the rule of our new alliance, after an inaccurate census, should have reached 2.4 million. According to the war zone planning of the military department, we have also planned three provinces: Central Province, High Tower Province, and Central North Province. As the expansion war in the Central Province goes smoothly, it is estimated that the total population will reach more than 4.4 million by then…”
