Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 186

186. Chapter 186, the target of the war is the entire Qinggu area!

The vicious cycle in the Qinggu region is not the first time.

In the past years, each wave of deformed monsters would lead to similar situations.

However, the monster waves in previous years would not last particularly long, and the scale would not be particularly large.

When the monster wave subsides, the source of the vicious cycle will be gone, and things will get better.

The looters will either be wiped out, or they may be washed ashore in the place they occupied and become normal plantations. There are also those who have not been washed and have been looters, but there will not be too many of them.

Anyway, when most people have enough food, the situation will gradually calm down until the monster wave appears again in the second year, and the vicious cycle will start again.

In short, this is how the people in the Qinggu region have been for many, many years.

But the difference this year is that the wave of deformed monsters is too large, not sporadic; it lasts too long. It has been almost half a year now, and not only has there been no trend of weakening, but it has become more and more intense.

The source of the vicious cycle is not weakened, but strengthened, so of course the vicious cycle cannot be stopped.

However, the problem of Qinggu area must be solved.

It is the most important granary of Angry Owl Star. It not only feeds the 10 million people in Qinggu area itself, but also supplies food to the central and eastern provinces.

If the problem of Qinggu area is not solved, it will not only represent the livelihood problem of 10 million people there, but also form a large-scale famine in the entire planet.

In the final analysis, this is a population loss that Gu Hang cannot tolerate.

Population is extremely important, both for productivity and for the monthly fixed income in his system.

Only with more people can we support a stronger industry, support more troops, and provide more gift point income.

This grain-producing land and this 10 million people are what Gu Hang must protect.

As early as a few months ago, the alliance had already taken action on this.

The weapons and equipment that the army exchanged, from those of the old alliance legions to those of the adventurers in the garbage town who were incorporated, were sold in large quantities as military supplies to the Qinggu area in the south.

The Qinggu area was in great need of military supplies. Logically speaking, these guns, bullets, and earth cannons could be sold at very high prices. But under the instructions of Ossena, the Alliance Commerce Department did not do so. In the early days when there was a shortage of food, the price was still higher. Later, when the food imports in the Western Desert area increased significantly and the food pressure in the Central Province was reduced, the Commerce Department further lowered the price.

Later, even some of the military supplies produced in the Weixing City Arsenal were sold to the Qinggu area.

Even many weapons and equipment were not asked for money, but provided free of charge in the form of military aid.

Of course, the so-called “no money” basically means that everything else is required except money.

Military aid, various necessities of life, and consumer goods aid are definitely purposeful and have strong political attributes.

If there were not such a large number of arms, how could the diplomats, civil affairs observers, and military observers of the alliance establish the so-called “Qinggu Mutual Aid Committee”?

And this so-called “Qinggu Mutual Aid Committee” is Gu Hang’s preparation for completely ruling the entire Qinggu area in the future.

Many plantations, refugees, and even looters who are willing to lay down their guns and cleanse themselves have been taken in.

The “Mutual Aid Association” requires plantations to pay food as protection fees to ensure that refugees and looters will not rob them; organize refugees and looters who have been cleansed, and use the arms assisted and sold by the alliance as weapons to form militias and patrols to fight other looters who have not joined the mutual aid association; the militias and patrols will quickly support the plantations when they receive requests for help. If you encounter a huge wave of monsters that you can’t resist, then at least you can ensure that the people inside can evacuate alive.

The existence of the mutual aid association has proved to be very effective in the past two months.

This can be seen from the fact that the Mutual Aid Association has expanded rapidly from a small area in the south of the Central Bank Province owned by the Alliance in just two months to a behemoth covering a population of four million and almost covering the entire northern part of the Qinggu area.

To be honest, the population size of the Mutual Aid Association is not far from that of the Alliance itself.

The reason for such rapid expansion is that in addition to the Alliance’s dispatched personnel being competent and the arms provided being valuable enough, the core point is that the existence of the Mutual Aid Association meets the needs of almost everyone in the northern part of Qinggu.

Refugees have a shelter, whitewashed looters have a stable food income, and plantations have strong armed foreign aid…

Gu Hang looks at the Mutual Aid Association as if he is looking at a rapidly growing fruit of victory.

When the Mutual Aid Association expands to a certain extent, the Alliance army can quickly move south, take the Mutual Aid Association’s militia and patrols, and reorganize them in an all-round way, pushing all the way south to flatten the mutant monsters that swept across the central and southern parts of Qinggu.

At the beginning, he could already rely on an infantry battalion to eliminate tens of thousands of deformed monsters, not to mention now.

He has more troops, and his weapons and equipment have been updated several times. He has powerful long-range firepower, armored forces, and even air forces.

If the deformed monsters are still at the original level, there is nothing to be afraid of no matter how many there are.

He just needs to wait for the mutual aid association to mature, and the rest is the work of harvesting.

In one wave, Gu Hang will completely control the entire Qinggu area, which will be as easy as taking something out of a bag.

But now, the news brought by Hu Ke has made Gu Hang deeply worried.

The transformation technology of the Natural Salvation Society for those deformed monsters involves supernatural powers and demonology, so it cannot be simply regarded as a group of monsters formed by the local environment of the planet.

If the devil is used as an imaginary enemy…

Gu Hang feels very nervous.

To put it bluntly, even the greenskin clan in the High Tower Province, which has not yet fully developed, is difficult to fight. If they encounter demons and Chaos traitors…they will at least not be easier to fight than the greenskin orcs.

At this time, it was Hu Ke who advised Gu Hang not to worry too much.

“The situation is not so bad that it is irreversible.” The new C9-level employee of the Alliance comforted the biggest boss and said, “At least in the six months I have been in the town of the Singers, I have only noticed that their technology is related to demonology. I have not seen any concrete evidence that they have more connections with demons, let alone seeing the figure of a demon with my own eyes. Governor, you don’t have to worry too much.”

However, at this point, Hu Ke added: “But we may have to speed up our actions. After all, no one knows what will happen if we give them more time… Even this year’s particularly large wave of deformed monsters, there is no doubt that it must be the work of the Natural Salvation Society. It’s a pity that I have been dragging my feet and not doing their so-called “sublimation transformation” for the past six months. I can’t access many special confidential contents and I can’t be sure what their purpose is.”

Gu Hang nodded and said, “I understand. You are very grateful for providing the existing information. You have worked hard during this period. The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs should have prepared your new residence for you. Take your family to have a good rest. The future development of the alliance will rely more on your contribution. As for the problems in the Qinggu area…”

After a pause, Gu Hang continued, “I don’t plan to change our original plan, but I have to speed it up.”

This is inevitable.

When you don’t know the enemy’s plan and it is difficult to find a way to detect it, the best way to deal with it is to completely eliminate them with thunder before the enemy’s actions are fully launched.

Gu Hang no longer cared about the two technical experts Wu Jiarong and Hu Ke, but thought about it himself.

The best time to solve the problem is within a month.

The Quintet is still there, and will not leave until a month later. Although the starship has been seriously damaged, the various weapon systems are still well preserved. The ammunition reserves on the starship are not sufficient, but there are still some, at least enough to carry out an orbital strike on the ground.

So, Gu Hang’s current optimal solution is to do his best to solve the Qinggu problem within a month while the orbital strike is still there, and to physically destroy the so-called Natural Salvation Society.

If things are delayed until after a month, then there will be trouble without the orbital strike.

After figuring it out, Gu Hang called his secretary, Zhang Chao, who was also his butler who came to the Angry Owl Star with him.

“Send a message to Yan Fangxu, cancel all troop rotations, and all soldiers must assemble within three days. His troops will set out in three days. The war has begun.”

“Yes!” Zhang Chao responded instinctively, then asked in confusion: “But… what is the target of the war?”

“The entire Qinggu area.” Gu Hang said.

…

Jason Morgan felt that he had been particularly lucky since the establishment of the new alliance.

He was rewarded again because he had discovered a top talent for the alliance.

It was a bit like a dream.

In all conscience, he really just wanted to have an excellent doctor to help him solve the problem because he saw many refugees infected and dying of the disease.

As a result, an engine prophet was discovered?

Jason Morgan now understands what the engine prophet represents.

He is now glad that he did not speak rudely at the time, but treated Hu Ke with a sufficiently respectful attitude.

If the alliance has any key technological breakthroughs in the future, he will also have a share of the credit!

However, this matter can only be said to be an episode for him. Although he has gained a lot of benefits from this, when he recently communicated with the leader of the Immigration Bureau, the leader also told him that it was a sure thing for him to be promoted two levels when he returned this time.

Of course, he was very happy about this.

However, his leader also reminded him.

“You still have to do your job well.”

“I understand!”

And what is his job?

1. Ensure the results of the autumn harvest.

2. Population migration, one of the most important things is to control infectious diseases.

The above two items are what he has been working hard on in the past.

Recently, it has entered autumn, and the main food crops of the major plantations in the northern part of Qinggu have almost reached the season for harvesting.

Although the overall harvest this year will definitely not be good, the existing harvest must be harvested well.

According to the instructions given by the Governor: If you harvest one more grain now, you may save one person from starving to death in the future.

For this work, Jason actually traveled tirelessly between the major plantations to see how the grain harvest was going in various places, and signed future grain purchase contracts with the corresponding plantation owners.

The second task is to continuously migrate people to the Central Bank Province, especially the Shuangcheng area.

This is an old business. It was nothing more than migrating people from other places in the Central Bank Province to Shuangcheng in the past, and now it is done from the northern part of the Qinggu area.

In terms of population willingness, migrating people from Qinggu to Shuangcheng is even simpler than doing the same thing in the Central Bank Province. The people

here in Qinggu are all refugees, and being able to go to the Shuangcheng area is simply a dream.

However, the complexity of the situation lies in infectious diseases.

This is a special situation that has only been discovered in the past month. It

is called the infectious disease “abscess disease”. The lethality is not high, but after the onset of the disease, people will have herpes all over their bodies, which is very itchy, and the pus after the ulcer is the source of infection. Healthy people can also be easily infected after unprotected contact.

Therefore, before migrating people to the central province, they must first be quarantined, and only after ensuring safety will they be transported to the rear. In Fuxing City, they need to be quarantined again until that group is fine, and then they will be accommodated in the city.

Jason Morgan’s quarantine policy in multiple refugee settlements is not just to see whether people are sick or not.

Those who are sick will be transferred to the ward as soon as possible, and then they will be cared for by medical workers.

Of course, you can’t expect the medical staff to be very professional.

Although the hospital in Shuangcheng has been built for some time, the level of the doctors… can only be said to be so-so.

And in these refugee camps in the northern part of Qinggu, don’t even think about having professional doctors.

It’s just some medical staff recruited on the spot, holding a simple medical manual, and using the medicines transported from Shuangcheng to inject the sick people.

But don’t say it, the effect is still good.

The biggest role is the medicine itself.

The pharmaceutical chemical factory that has been in operation for some time in Fuxing City produces really powerful d*rugs.

Speaking of pain relief, it really doesn’t hurt after taking it – although it may not cure the disease, it makes you feel much more comfortable, in a better mood, and able to eat, so the body naturally gets more energy to fight the disease.

Although some d*rugs for skin diseases and immune diseases may not be completely suitable for the symptoms, the barefoot doctors take the booklet and feed it according to the standard dosage, which is really useful.

People are sometimes very fragile, but sometimes they are very tenacious.

There is enough food, pain relief, and symptom relief d*rugs… Even if there is no specific medicine, most people can eventually survive.

The current mortality rate of “abscess disease” is about 5%-10%. This is a very high number. At present, there are more than 100,000 people suffering from the disease in many refugee camps, which means that thousands of people will die from the disease.

It was also because of seeing too many tragedies that Jason, after hearing about an outstanding doctor, took time out of his busy schedule to recruit people with courtesy and respect – the result was greater benefits, but that’s another story.

However, Jason Morgan was still optimistic about the future.

As the temporarily recruited medical staff and barefoot doctors gained more experience in treating abscesses, even the dumbest people could summarize some objective laws and further optimize the use of d*rugs and the process of caring for patients.

In addition, a new medical manual with the words “Fuxing City Research Institute” was soon issued to him. It explained in detail how to use d*rugs for patients with abscesses, what the symptoms of each stage were, how to change the medication plan in the transition stage; the specific methods of isolation; the symbols of confirming the patient’s recovery…

This manual was much more reliable than the “barefoot manual” they used before.

He knew that this new researcher was actually hosted by Mr. Hu Ke, who he “recruited”.

He was very pleased.

Although it was a misunderstanding before, Mr. Hu was not a doctor; but in fact, his role was greater than that of a simple doctor.

In short, the medical staff had more experience and the new treatment manual of Fuxing City Research Institute, and the situation would definitely improve.

In addition to the two tasks of autumn harvest and abscess disease, he had just received news that he had a new task:

to cooperate with the Central Army Group that had already moved south, and the military observers of the Mutual Aid Association, to assemble the militia on the spot. All militias should be placed under the command of Brigadier General Yan Fangxu of the Central Army Group and be dispatched by the headquarters.

In addition, the Mutual Aid Association should mobilize all plantations to supply food to the army on the spot after completing the autumn harvest as part of the material supply for the southward movement.

He had already sent the relevant notices to various places through the Mutual Aid Association system.

However, the implementation was not ideal.

The decision-making body of the Mutual Aid Committee is the Committee Meeting. Most of these so-called commissioners were large plantation owners who still maintained order, and a few were former whitewashed raider leaders who were now militia leaders.

None of the officials of the alliance were formal commissioners, and their duties were basically to serve as observers.

When the mutual aid society was established, it was to eliminate the vigilance of those plantation owners and militia leaders.

Originally, they still had time to slowly dissipate the power of the mutual aid society, but the sudden early action of the alliance headquarters disrupted their plan.

The current plantation owners and militia leaders still have great influence and actual power.

And a considerable number of people are opposed to the alliance’s full southward advance.

Now, the mutual aid committee has become a mess.

Jason Morgan has to solve this problem.
