Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 24

Chapter 24, War

“This question is not that important.”

On the way back, Gu Hang answered Yan Fangxu’s question.

The captain found him and asked the question in his heart, and Gu Hang gave an answer:

“Even if it is fake, so what? The navy needs merits, and I need targets. A cult organization that does not believe in the God-Emperor is one of the main culprits for the long-term inability of the Angry Owl Star to recover. This merit can satisfy Brigadier General Ye Lishia, and it can also allow me to gain enough benefits and unite the people of this world. Then, this cult should be real, and that Wohan should be a real cultist.”

After a pause, Gu Hang saw that Yan Fangxu’s face was still a little hesitant, and he smiled and patted the captain on the shoulder: “What’s more, it is true. The Primordial Owl Beast Sect is a cult, and the man named Wohan is indeed connected with the Primordial Owl Beast.”

“How did you determine that he was a heretic, not an ordinary psychic?”

Gu Hang pointed to his head and explained: “The power of psychics comes from ourselves, from our spirit. We have enough talent and spirituality to borrow psychic energy from the omnipresent but imperceptible spiritual world to form psychic spells. The power of heretics comes from the dirty evil gods they believe in, not from themselves. These two powers are completely different, and they are clearly distinguished in my perception.”

At this point, Gu Hang silently added that the divine arts mastered by the priests of the Empire’s state religion are almost the same, but he didn’t say it out loud. Hearing

this, Yan Fangxu touched his head and said, “I really didn’t know these things before. But since he is really a heretic, there is no problem.”

“Don’t worry.” Gu Hang said, “We are on the right track.”

…

Gu Hang was still very serious about comforting the captain.

This person is one of the few capable people under his command.

He came to the Angry Owl Star alone, and without taking over the power of the Alliance Government, he had no team to speak of. The only person he could use was Captain Yan.

The people of Feidong Society seem to have reconciled themselves to the cause, but they are illiterate and cannot be relied upon to accomplish great things; his little follower Zhang Chao is trustworthy enough, but he has no knowledge. Maybe he can become a talent after being trained for a long time in the future, but he is far from being one now. The only

one left is Yan Fangxu.

After all, he is a naval captain and a serious imperial naval officer.

He did not care that Yan Fangxu still belonged to the naval sequence and was not his man. He obeyed his command because of Ye Lixia’s order.

There is no difference. As long as he is currently serving him, capable and trustworthy, that is enough.

Gu Hang turned his head and looked past Yan Fangxu at the entire large army.

The entire team had nearly 300 people, and they pulled ox carts along the road to the governor’s camp.

This time the harvest was quite fruitful.

He left 20 soldiers of Feidong Company stationed in Mantan Valley Manor to protect the safety of the manor while also making the hired farmers work well. A man named Salamu was selected from the hired farmers as a manager.

The other soldiers, about 200 in total, and about 100 hired farmers, set out on the return journey together. The hired farmers were responsible for transporting the reloaded supplies to the Governor’s camp.

The so-called “cart” was an oxcart, a car pulled by a kind of livestock called “barbarian bull”.

This kind of barbarian bull should not be a native creature of the Angry Owl Star, but a species introduced from an alien planet a long time ago. After experiencing the world-destroying war, this creature did not become extinct, but instead had further mutations, but still retained the characteristics of being able to be domesticated.

In today’s wasteland world, barbarian bulls are an important animal power.

The batch of supplies transported from Fuxing City was originally pulled by oxcarts, and now all fell into Gu Hang’s hands.

After counting the supplies, they were consistent with what Gu Hang asked for from Fuxing City.

These things were returned to their original owners.

In addition, Gu Hang also seized nearly 200 sets of individual weapons and equipment, mainly rifles.

These rifles have a variety of models, and the overall production level is not comparable to the “Assaulter” rifle. The latter is at least the standard rifle of the Imperial Army and Marine Corps. Although it is used as cannon fodder, its production and technical levels are at least online.

As for the firearms used by these mercenaries, which were produced in the native land of Angry Owl Star, it was hard to say. Not only did the quality vary, but the best ones were not as good as the Raiders.

But at least they were much more reliable than the iron barrel rifles in the hands of the bandits of the Prisoners of the Dead, which Gu Hang was too lazy to treat as scrap metal. They could be considered military products after all.

Gu Hang planned to make use of this batch of equipment.

Including this batch, he had about 100 sets of Raiders and 200 sets of equipment made in the native land. He could arm another 300 soldiers.

With the weapons and equipment, there was no big problem with the source of soldiers.

The Waste Cave Society could send out some more people, and some of the 3,000 slaves he brought down from the starship could also be withdrawn.

Those slaves were not qualified sources of soldiers, and their physical fitness was not even as good as that of the mechanical servants. However, they were not better than those hungry people in the Waste Cave Society. Under Gu Hang’s system, the people of the Waste Cave can be turned into gold and become soldiers with qualified training, not to mention the former slaves.

The low quality of the soldiers at most limits their further upgrades, but under the ability of the system, it is not a problem to train them to the T5 level and reach the capabilities of the regular army.

In addition to the supplies that he deserved, as well as the weapons, equipment and ammunition seized, the greater gain is the gift obtained after the battle victory.

[A hearty victory, 33 points of gift]

[20 losses, 116 eliminated, 42 captured]

[1st Mecha Servant Light Infantry Battalion (part): 16 losses, 43 eliminated]

[Waste Cave Company: 4 losses, 21 eliminated]

[Marine Corps (part): 0 losses, 52 eliminated]

In this battle, a total of 158 people were eliminated, including elimination and capture, with a total loss of 20 people.

The T5-level army, with thirty T4-level marines, has a combined combat power that is much stronger than those inferior mercenaries. Even though the defenders had more advantages, and even though the soldiers adopted a strong attack method under Gu Hang’s order, the exchange ratio in the end was still exaggerated to almost 1:8.

Of course, without the walkers driven by the marines and without Gu Hang, the psychic, the exchange ratio would be uglier.

Most of the casualties of our soldiers were caused by machine guns and rocket launchers. The heavy machine gun strafing hit the femoral artery and caused heavy bleeding, or was directly killed by the close-range explosion of the rocket. In addition to a small number of direct deaths, there were also many who were seriously injured and unable to return to the battlefield.

This kind of loss is still within the acceptable range for Gu Hang. You can’t expect that there will be no deaths in the war.

However, Gu Hang has to consider the replenishment of the troops.

The loss of the Feidong Company is not a big problem. It can be directly supplemented from the Feidong Society. It is not a problem to draw out four more people.

As for the mecha soldiers, there is really no place to fill them.

In the future, the main force of Gu Hang’s army cannot be expected to rely on mechas for a long time. In the end, we still need to recruit soldiers from the mainland.

We will talk about this later.

What he needs to think about now is how to use the 33 new gifts.

The order of the chapters was wrong yesterday. Chapter 23 was posted first and then 22. And those two chapters should have been posted today. The date was wrong when scheduling…

Just consider it as yesterday’s extra update!

Comrades who only read 23 and didn’t see 22 yesterday, you can go back and read it.
