Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 318
318. Chapter 317, I am about to die
Let’s not talk about the Angry Bear Legion. This is the Star Army, which is fighting according to the orders of the Military Affairs Department and the Star Army Headquarters. Gu Hang will not charge them for this.
But the supplies for the Angry Bear Legion are sent by the Angry Owl Star, not by the Imperial Military Affairs Department. Don’t think that ammunition is cheap, especially those heavy artillery shells, ammunition for grenade guns, replacement parts for technical equipment… They are all very expensive things.
Moreover, the five newly brought garrison divisions and one armored combined brigade are not from the Angry Bear Legion, but from the Planetary Defense Army of the Angry Owl Star. They will not fight for nothing.
The cost of building an army of 40,000 people is one million tax coins.
The Alliance also transported a large amount of food and fresh water.
This wave, the total cost invested by Gu Hang has reached nearly two million tax coins.
In this case, Gu Hang signed a refugee evacuation agreement with the opposite government on Koroga 3.
In the future, the Alliance will further send troops, provide ammunition, military weapons and equipment, food, fresh water, textiles…
All kinds of aid should add up to 7 million tax coins.
This money is huge, but the Alliance can afford it.
A considerable part of it is the wealth offset by sending troops directly to participate in the war; all kinds of ammunition aid and technical equipment aid are also supplemented for the Alliance’s troops going to the front line to participate in the war. They will not be given to the Korojia people, but they will be counted in the 7 million aid. What really needs to be handed
over to the Korojia people is only some light weapons.
This is normal. The Alliance’s military factories also need orders. All kinds of heavy weapons, the Alliance’s own troops are crying for food, and there is no spare for the Korojia people; but some G series rifles and so on, have a lot of surplus production capacity.
The same is true for ammunition. The war on the mainland of Angry Owl Star has been largely calmed down, and the consumption of ammunition has immediately dropped. Then the excess must be “sold” somewhere?
The same is true for food and fresh water. The fresh water resources on Angry Owl Star are still relatively abundant, and there are large areas of oceans that can be used for seawater desalination.
In terms of food, Qinggu region had a bumper harvest last year. The people of Nuxiao Star couldn’t finish eating it all. If they didn’t export it, they would keep it and wait for it to become stale grain.
Moreover, a considerable part of these things will be given to refugee camps. And the people living in the refugee camps… in the future, they will all be members of the Alliance!
And the “aid” of 7 million tax coins is exchanged for the Alliance’s “help” Korojia 3 to evacuate 10 million refugees.
This agreement is considered to be a relatively ruthless one among all the forces that plundered Korojia 3.
The reason why it can be so ruthless is the result of Gu Hang’s activities.
This is the role of “reputation”, which is slowly showing its effect.
Of course, there is also the political influence of the Gu family.
In fact, not only he made money, but also Gu’s Trading Company. A considerable part of the transportation orders are not only from Nuxiao Star, but also from other major forces. Whether it is the transportation of materials or personnel, a large number of ships are needed. Gu’s Trading Company is very fat just from these transportation orders.
The population transferred from Korojia 3 is still very welcome to Nuxiao Star, and the quality of the population is actually quite good.
In sharp contrast, the population from Black Arrow Star is a headache.
The population that migrated from Black Arrow Star has accumulated to hundreds of thousands, all from the Kingdom of Luman. They are truly illiterate, and most of them are serfs. They are illiterate and do not master any skills required by industrial society. The training cost in the middle is very high.
Compared with the people of Angry Owl Star, although there is also a considerable proportion of illiterates, it is not as high as the illiterate proportion of the population of Black Arrow Star.
Moreover, there is a gap between the illiterate.
There is a reason for this. Angry Owl Star is a wasteland planet. The people here may not know how to read, but they must have some skills. He may drive, repair cars, assemble and use guns, and tinker with some broken machines…
People who don’t have these skills can’t survive in the wasteland.
Quite a number of wastelanders, under the system established by the alliance, enter school and recognize some words during the adult education stage. It doesn’t take much, just a few hundred or thousands, and they can normally understand written articles and communicate in writing, and they can become qualified industrial population.
The population on Koroja 3 also has similar properties. Many of them are mixed in the bottom of the hive city, living a life worse than that of livestock, but the literacy rate is better than that of the wastelanders, and many of them have worked in factories and mines in the past – they can’t survive without working.
No matter what, there is still the most basic education in the hive city, and children aged five or six have to go to school for two years before they can work as child laborers.
The difference in population quality makes the value that immigrants from different sources can immediately play a huge difference.
But in general, at this stage, the Angry Owl Star still accepts everyone.
Even if they come from the Black Arrow Star, they need a certain period of modern training before they can be thrown into the Qinggu area as agricultural workers, that’s fine.
A qualified labor force, as long as it is given normal opportunities and platforms, can still create much more value than it consumes, and there will definitely be labor surplus value.
What’s more, the efficient system of the Alliance eliminates the middle class and does not require taxes, but it is better than taxes. In terms of the strength of collecting surplus value, it is much higher than conventional private ownership.
…
Nearly half a year has passed, and the alliance has developed in an orderly manner.
As the prime minister of the alliance, Ossena is very busy.
But she has gotten used to it.
Since she took on this position, she has never been away from the busy situation.
Overtime?
Apart from sleeping and eating, there is no time to rest!
Speaking of exploitation, she, the prime minister of the alliance, is the most exploited.
Under her leadership, the alliance government has completed part of the previously set goals ahead of schedule. This is the third year of the establishment of the alliance and the first year after unification. It is expected that the total annual output value for the next year will increase from the original more than 50 million to more than 68 million.
It is 3 million more than the two-year growth she promised to the governor.
This is certainly a gratifying achievement, but another indicator of hers is estimated to be unattainable – the per capita productivity indicator.
This is mainly because the population of the Angry Owl Star will surge by 10 million, and a large amount of the development budget will be used to settle and absorb these people, and the construction work of remote provinces will fall behind.
Of course, the immigrants also contributed greatly to the additional annual output value of 13 million.
Most of the immigrants went to Weixing City and Beiqing Valley. The former, as an industrial center, needed population, and the latter had a large amount of land resources to be cultivated. It had enough capacity to absorb a large number of people without being overcrowded.
Gu Hang was not dissatisfied with this situation. He was quite satisfied with Ossena’s work results. As for the fact that the per capita output value did not meet the target, it was expected.
Besides, isn’t it less than two years?
It’s only half a year.
During this time, Gu Hang basically flew between Koroga 3 and Angry Owl Star.
On the one hand, he continued to maintain his presence on Angry Owl Star and made some rough decisions on the development of the planet. On the other hand, he was also actively active in the interstellar political arena.
At the same time, he was also waiting for the arrival of the investigation team from the Sun Lord.
On Koroga 3, there were many people stranded on Koroga 3 for the same reason. Some were at the scene when Gallardo disappeared, and some were investigation teams at the star zone, star field, and universe level.
They were all waiting.
But today, the Sun Investigation Team suddenly issued new news –
they were not coming.
This news reached Koroga 3 and caused an uproar!
Complaints and curses from all sides were endless.
No, why didn’t you come?
In the previous news, they had even set off and had been on the road for half a year. They said they would not come and they would go home?
Then what are we doing here, waiting for more than half a year?
Waiting in vain?
Amidst the complaints, some people with keen political awareness immediately realized a lot of information from this information, and detected some special signals.
First of all, let’s talk about the possible changes in the Tianma Star Region.
Are we not looking for the war apostles anymore? Are we not going to pursue the responsibility?
Of course not.
The Sun Investigation Team still gave their requirements and orders.
First of all, they recognized the joint investigation conclusion given by the third-level investigation team, recognized the disappearance of Gallardo, and required the Dragon Eagle Star Region to maintain a team to continue searching for the missing war apostles, and to find the person alive or the body dead.
It was very harsh, but compared with the previous attitude, it was undoubtedly softened a lot. The Cosmic Domain Government was directly removed, and the Star Domain Government only needed to send out a team to continue the investigation – to put it bluntly, it was just a pretense. Now that such a strong effort has been made to find the war apostles for a year, it can’t be found . It’s unrealistic
to expect that only one investigation team can find the war apostles as time goes by and the clues are getting fewer? As for the responsibility, such a big thing happened, but the exact murderer has not been found, so the final conclusion can only be that it was an accident and the work of the abyss demon. This means that there is no suitable “person” to take this responsibility. You can’t let the demons take responsibility, right? You can’t solve it. So, who should be the person in charge? … ”I’m dying.” When he said this, Pei Desi’s gray hair was a little messy. Although he had covered it up with makeup, his bloodshot eyes still inevitably revealed his decadence. This was the first time Gu Hang saw him like this. In his impression, Chief Pei Desi always cared about his image. His hair was always meticulous, his face was full of energy, and his smile would make people feel like spring breeze. It seems that no matter who it is, in the face of death, they are all the same. No matter who the other people present were, no matter how they thought about this matter, at least on their faces, they were all sad. This was a meeting, and the participants were a circle of six people in the Tianma Star Region with Chief Pei Desi as the core. In addition to himself, there was also his younger brother, Little Pedes. In addition, there were the other two families of the “Tianma Iron Triangle”, the Gu family and the Fofana family. On the Gu family side, there came Wang Qi and Gu Hang. Wang Qi is the actual operator of the current Gu’s Business, and Gu Hang is the head of the family. He also represents the upcoming Tianma Star Region Psychic Order and the Angry Owl Star. The two members of the Fofana family are the old General Fofana in a naval uniform, and Brigadier General Ye Lishia. The former is the sea-stabilizing magic needle of the Fofana family, and the latter is a rising star in the family and the future successor. And this meeting was opened by Pedes, the head of the star region, to explain the aftermath. Little Pedes was beside him, with a gloomy face. His shrill voice rang out: “You can resist…” Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his brother next to him: ”What nonsense are you talking about?! Our Pedes have been loyal subjects of the empire since our ancestors! No matter what kind of treatment we receive, we should accept it with pleasure!” He scolded sternly, and observed the expressions of the four people from the Gu family and the Fufan family. After being scolded like this, little Pedes finally shut up. Gu Hang kept a serious face, but when he heard what little Pedes said, he almost laughed out loud. Resist? What can we resist with? If we really want to resist, the first one to stop supplying after leaving this door will be the Gu family; the first one to fire at Feiyixing will be Fufan. Pedes sighed, and faced the four ‘allies’ again, repeating the words: “I am about to die. Although the investigation team of the Sun Lord is not coming, and they have recognized the investigation conclusions of the three-level governments, they require someone to be responsible. That person is me and Governor Akuna. Akuna wanted to escape, but was intercepted in advance by the people from the Star Domain Law Department, and should be dead now. I am ready to accept my fate calmly. The Star Domain and the Universe Domain have given me face. I will end my life later, and the matter will end here.” After a pause, he continued: “But…the one I can’t let go of the most is my younger brother.” Little Pedes looked gloomy and said nothing beside him. ”After Akuna and I die, we…” He emphasized the ‘we’, “our biggest dilemma is that our control over the sector’s political situation and Koroja 3 will be greatly weakened. The new head and Koroja Governor-General have not yet been decided. The Fats family will definitely not miss this opportunity.” ”I have no other requirements. We must not let these two positions go, at least they must not fall into the hands of the Fats, otherwise we will all be in big trouble.” Having said this, he looked at General Old Fofana: “General, I hope you can come out and run for the position of the sector head left after my death.” After saying this, without waiting for Old Fofana to answer, he looked at Wang Qi and Gu Hang: “The Gu family may have someone who can take on the duties of the Governor-General of Koroja.” (End of this chapter)
