Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 265

265. Chapter 264, Twenty Years of Hard Work

to deal with the affairs of Ness Luman and gaining a puppet head of state, Gu Hang did not stay on the Black Arrow Star for a long time.

About a week later, he left here and returned to the Angry Owl Star.

Of course, he was also very busy in the week before leaving.

He and Ness Luman kept meeting many people, most of whom were middle and high-level rulers of the Luman Kingdom.

Many people died in the previous war, but there were also survivors.

The most important of them were the only two powerful marquises left in the Luman Kingdom.

The two marquises of Yasago and Janvis in the south were quite unbelievable after listening to the report of the envoy who returned.

According to their conventional thinking, this is almost impossible to happen. If it were them, how could they accept letting Ness Luman continue to rule this country?

Puppet?

Treat a powerful monarch as a puppet?

I don’t know if it’s arrogance or self-confidence.

And the two of them also have complicated thoughts.

They must have had the idea of using this great change to make further progress. Before, they were thinking about whether to win at the risk of attacking the defense line of the Angry Owl Star. That was the idea at work.

Of course, looking at the current situation, we can only say that it was fortunate that they did not really lose their heads at that time.

They gave up the idea of opposing the Gu family, and they had also thought about changing their thinking. After all, even if the Gu family seized the Luman Kingdom, someone had to manage it, right? Wouldn’t the two marquises be the ones who should take the responsibility?

But what happened now cut off this path.

The Luman family continued to be in power.

Although this Luman family was completely different from the past one. The Royal Knights, who had been suffocating them, had already been destroyed.

But… without the Royal Knights, there was still the army of the Angry Owl Star.

The Gu family would definitely leave military forces to guard the Luman Kingdom, and they still did not dare to act rashly.

As for Ness Luman’s ability, they had a deep understanding of it in the past twenty years.

No matter what tricks this guy is going to do later, or whether he is really doing things for the Gu family, he might still do something to these two sheep.

The two marquises found that after all this time, the situation for them didn’t seem to change at all!

They were so excited!

Then, there was another invitation, asking them to go to Pinsel City in person to meet His Majesty the King and the King’s master. The

two hesitated, were unwilling, and even had complaints and anger in their hearts. But in the end, they had to go.

…

After meeting these senior officials of the Kingdom of Luman, Gu Hang met with the people who would manage his “colony” in the future, and talked to Perbov for a long time.

Gu Hang would leave him three divisions, the 2nd Division, the 13th Brigade, and the 36th Brigade would be stationed on the Black Arrow Star for a long time in the future. The expeditionary force was also officially changed to the “Black Arrow Group Army”. Even the three crippled divisions, 34, 37, and 38, may come to Black Arrow Star with honors and continue to belong to the sequence of this army group after returning to replenish their troops and equipment.

Gu Hang intends to let Perbov continue to be the commander of the army group of this colony.

He will use the rank of major general to order this army to suppress the Kingdom of Luman.

At the same time, Gu Hang also said that he should not take care of government affairs and let that Ness Luman do it himself. Only when necessary, the army will cooperate, or when there is internal instability, to provide assistance and quell the crisis.

In addition, he also asked the head of military and political affairs, the general political commissar of the army group, Jordan Leroy, to participate in the work of rebuilding the local army of the Kingdom of Luman.

Ness Luman has obtained the authority to rebuild the so-called “Royal Knights”.

Of course, it will definitely not be called this name in the future, and it will be changed to “Loyal Guards”.

The Luman Kingdom government will do all the work, but Leroy should be deeply involved in it.

And the rebuilt “Loyal Guards”, as a colonial army, will be placed under the command of the Black Arrow Army Group.

To put it bluntly, it is a vassal army.

Perbov accepted the job.

Although it is a bit sad to guard a foreign land, as a soldier, this is his duty and he naturally has no choice but to do it.

However, there is one point in the words of the governor that makes him a little confused.

He thought that the biggest role of his stay should be to supervise that guy, Nest Luman, and ensure his loyalty.

But what he didn’t expect was that the governor’s words were mainly to help the king.

This made him a little puzzled, and even thought that the governor trusted the king a little too much, and therefore once had the idea of persuading the governor to avoid being deceived and consider the risk of betrayal.

But after a deep chat with his own political commissar Leroy, he gave up the idea.

How can the governor be so easy to deceive?

There must be something they don’t know and shouldn’t know.

As soldiers, they should not engage in the trick of giving advice, just obey orders.

…

After meeting with the high-ranking officials of the Luman Kingdom and arranging for Perbov and his Black Arrow Army, the problem of the Luman colony was basically solved.

Of course, there are also some diplomatic affairs involved, involving other countries on the Black Arrow Star.

However, Gu Hang did not intend to solve these things personally.

He could just let Ness Luman handle them.

In addition to the Black Arrow Star and the colony, there was another thing that Gu Hang must pay close attention to.

The Gu family’s affairs.

Ness Luman had kidnapped Gu Ming and surrendered.

Gu Hang did not even think about communicating with his cousin and directly handed him over to his mother.

As for how Ms. Wang Qi would treat Gu Ming in the future and how to re-integrate the family’s power, Gu Hang no longer cared about this matter.

He fully believed in his mother’s means in this regard. After all, she had been tossing about this matter for many, many years, and was familiar with the situation and had enough skills. The mistake this time was nothing more than a move away from success.

The integration of family power and the family’s business were Wang Qi’s forte, and Wang Qi would definitely be able to do it well.

The most important thing is that, apart from his mother, he couldn’t think of anyone else who was trustworthy and capable enough to integrate this area.

Not to mention, he himself has no foundation in the Gu family, and he is also confused about the business situation within the family. If he takes over now, the Gu’s business, which has just experienced a split, may be in danger of falling apart.

Gu Hang completely trusts Ms. Wang Qi’s next actions.

He just has one request: the head of the Gu family must be him.

In this regard, his mother scolded him: “Do you need to say it? Otherwise, what is your mother working hard for more than 20 years for?”

…

Speaking of Wang Qi, Gu Hang has been very busy this week, and his mother is actually busier.

There were several times when Gu Hang was free and went to visit, and he saw Ms. Wang Qi constantly on the phone, or discussing with the staff who came down from the starships in the sky.

Most of her calls were interstellar communications, calling the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce fleet, calling people in various business lines of the Chamber of Commerce, and calling friends on the Wing Star…

Even, many of them were called to those who had followed Gu Ming’s “rebellion”.

She promised one thing after another, made one deal after another, and determined the fate of some people.

The situation gradually stabilized.

She left Black Arrow Star even earlier than Gu Hang.

Before leaving, the mother and son had a conversation.

During the conversation, Gu Hang learned from his mother about some things that would happen in the Gu family later.

Needless to say, the eight fleets that supported Wang Qi were the winners. However, these eight fleets may still have a lot of trouble later.

Among the controllers of the eight fleets, seven were in this city during the Pinsel Incident.

At that time, Wang Qi was able to escape, thanks to the full protection of Lakrosa, the king of soldiers. The journey was extremely dangerous, but others did not have such good treatment.

Four people died directly and three were captured.

The captured ones are not a big deal now. Wang Qi will comfort and reward them. They will still lead their own fleets and even unite more closely around Wang Qi.

The four fleets whose masters have died are in trouble. Wang Qi has to quickly select a suitable successor who has enough prestige within the fleet, can convince the public, and is loyal.

Moreover, this is not just as simple as selecting people. She has to help them get promoted without causing any trouble.

But in general, the eight fleets that have been on her side are easy to deal with. The

other two fleets that have been out of the matter and in a neutral attitude from the beginning are also easy to deal with.

They are the “franchisees” of the Gu family. After the civil strife in the Gu family, they are the most confused, but their attitude is also the simplest, just waiting for the outcome.

In the future, whoever is the head of the family and who is in power will be obeyed. As long as it can be ensured that it is profitable for them to continue to join, there will be no problem.

The trouble is the four fleets that followed Gu Ming in the rebellion.

Wang Qi also expressed her feelings in the conversation with her son.

If possible, she would like to kill all the rebels.

But no.

She couldn’t bear to part with the four fleets, which added up to nearly 20 ships.

That was a lot of money.

No matter what happened in the future, she had to do her best to keep the people, so that she could keep the ships.

And now, this matter has come to an end.

Two of them, after knowing that Gu Mingdu had fallen into Wang Qi’s hands, realized that the situation was over and chose to surrender.

During the call, the two behaved differently. One cried miserably, saying that he was used and bewitched, and begged for his life; the other was tougher, bargaining, and wanted a safe ending.

Wang Qi comforted them well.

No matter what she thought in her heart, how she would settle the score in the future, at least for now, after a brief bargaining, she accepted these people.

Let’s talk about it later.

But the other two fleets were unwilling to believe Wang Qi’s promise.

They ran away.

There were seven ships that escaped, all of which were armed merchant ships.

In fact, the two fleets were not only these seven ships, but also an equal number of “giant belly transport ships”.

However, the giant belly ships were too slow, unarmed, and unable to resist, so they would not be able to take them with them when they escaped.

Wang Qi knew what the two fleets were thinking. They

simply felt that Wang Qi would never let them go after they did such a thing. Even if they did not cause trouble for a while, they would definitely be liquidated afterwards.

So, they decided to leave. They wanted to inherit and contact some of Gu Ming’s past networks and strive to become an independent chamber of commerce.

With seven armed merchant ships, they already had the qualifications.

But how could Wang Qi let them go?

Her network of relationships had already been fully mobilized.

These seven fleeing ships would later be classified as armed rebellion and imperial traitors. Wang Qi would do her utmost to prevent them from gaining independence, and they would never be able to obtain a license for an independent merchant fleet.

They would even be arrested as interstellar pirates.

This was Wang Qi’s punishment for the traitors. She also needed the destruction of these two rebellious fleets to demonstrate her authority.

When she left the surface and went up to the sky, the Gu fleet left soon.

She still had a lot of things to do later.

And Gu Hang also left afterwards.

After boarding the Blade Tiger with the troops, Gu Hang met with Ye Lixia.

“You have gained a lot this time.” As soon as they met, Ye Lixia teased, “When can we see another governor of two planets in the Tianma Star Region?”

Gu Hang smiled and waved his hand.

He was indeed hit by what Ye Lixia said.

But he was not embarrassed.

This was his idea. He said frankly: “I will work hard for it, and this is inseparable from the help of the Fofana family and Mr. Leader.”

Letting Ness Luman be the puppet is of course just a transitional plan. In the future, the best result is naturally that Gu Hang himself will come to the fore and get a clear dual appointment.

This is not without precedent. There is a ready-made example in the Tianma Star Region: the Fachers family.

The Fats family controls three planets in the Pegasus star region. The governors are all from this family, and the positions of governors of two of the planets are all held by the same person, and the other one also follows his lead.

But it is difficult to do this.

The reason why the Fats can do this is that they once made special contributions to the empire, and there are some historical problems left over.

Now, that historical opportunity has passed, and it is quite difficult for Gu Hang to copy their path.

Ye Licia also thinks so.

She sighed and said, “You are not shy in front of me. It’s just… the leader is unlikely to support your idea. Not only does he not support it, he is probably regretting helping you.”

Gu Hang also expected this.

But he just said, “Mr. Leader will understand later.”
