Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 336

336. Chapter 335, Your Majesty, please abdicate

Majesty, please abdicate. The old king’s expression was full of disbelief.

He really didn’t understand what was happening.

There were two reasons for his misunderstanding.

First, he didn’t understand why his most heroic son would rebel.

Second, he didn’t understand why this rebellion was successful.

This “rebellion” was undoubtedly successful. The old king Altay was not mentally prepared for this, he knew nothing.

And his son Eureka personally led his troops into the hall, and the roar of the last remaining Knight Titan of the kingdom army could even be heard outside.

There is no doubt that these military forces are under the command of Eureka.

This has declared that no matter what Eureka wants to do in this hall today, he will succeed.

Looking at the appearance of the rest of the people in the hall, except for a few who seemed very panicked and didn’t know why it was like this, at least half of the remaining people had expressions that were just solemn and nervous, without too many surprises.

Obviously, what Eureka did was not a simple betrayal, but a military rebellion of a small group of people. On the contrary, it was a coup d’état that was widely supported.

In other words, even without the use of weapons, he was still a loser.

In a short time, King Altai, who understood this, felt relieved.

Since nothing he did would change the situation, what else could he say?

At this time, he just had a question that he wanted to get answered:

“Eureka… Since the day you were born, the entire palace has been celebrating. The royal family has gained another outstanding descendant. Although you will not inherit the throne of this country and will not become a ruler, you are still the master of this country, and you should shoulder your responsibilities.”

“I am proud to watch you grow up day by day and become the embodiment of bravery.”

“We have always ruled this country with wisdom and strength. I hope your brother can master wisdom, and you will be the most outstanding force in this country. Together, you will bring Pampas to prosperity.”

“Until the alliance came, he destroyed the order we built in this world and wanted to destroy our country. Eureka… What exactly are you thinking? I don’t believe you are afraid, because of fear, my son will not do this. What exactly drove you to choose to betray your father and your motherland?”

Speaking of the latter, King Altai leaned forward slightly, his emotions became more and more excited, and the king’s majesty also rose.

Salihovic, standing in the center of the hall, sighed slightly.

It is said that no one knows a son better than his father, but it seems that this is not always the case.

In the growth of Prince Eureka’s life, he has experienced a lot of hardships, but he has never experienced real failure.

And this failure is too unforgettable for him.

It’s like a small sampan that has only experienced light wind and drizzle, and suddenly has to experience the strongest storm on the sea.

After being defeated and captured, Prince Eureka’s mentality has been somewhat collapsed.

The core reason why he was able to convince himself was that this prince had been beaten and frightened.

It was because of fear that he finally turned to the side of the alliance. This is a fundamental premise, and his past beliefs collapsed.

But… it doesn’t matter. In the communication with Prince Eureka for a long time in the past, Salihovic has rebuilt a new belief for the young prince.

Salihovic looked at Prince Eureka, and saw that the young man’s expression was quite firm. Sure enough, he was not scared by his father.

Eureka took a deep breath and said, “Father, you are wrong. I have never betrayed my motherland.”

“For a person, the first identity is human, a citizen of the Empire, and a subject of the God-Emperor; the second identity is the so-called Black Arrow Starman and the Panbos.”

At this point, many people around him nodded.

This is not entirely due to Salihovich’s brainwashing.

Don’t forget that Black Arrow Star has always been an imperial world. Although the state religion does not directly control it here, many churches have still been built here. People are generally taught that the Empire comes first and the God-Emperor comes above.

However, this point has not been taken seriously for a long time in the past. The Empire comes first, and the God-Emperor comes above. They are too far away, and anyway, they cannot affect the power status of the many kingdoms on Black Arrow Star.

However, until now, they suddenly realized that all this is not so far away.

“The Alliance is already the ruler of Black Arrow Planet recognized by the Empire. This is written in black and white in the documents issued by the Holy Terra Center. Why on earth should we risk everything to fight the Alliance? To fight a war with our compatriots and our masters that we can never win, what else could it be if not a huge mistake?!”

“Father, tell me, what is the meaning of our fight?”

“You always say it’s for the country, but our ‘country’ itself is a false proposition. We are human beings, and we should fight for the Empire under the inspiration of the Emperor, but the Alliance represents the Empire, not us.”

“For the people of Panpos? But whether it is the people on the Wrathful Owl Planet or the Kingdom of Luman, which has actually accepted the jurisdiction of the Alliance a year or two ago, the people there live a much better life than the people of Panpos.” “

All I can think of is for the power of my family.”

“But I want to ask again, for your own selfish desires, you put the lives of countless people and countless soldiers in the entire kingdom on the gambling table, and even become a traitor to the Empire. Is it really worth it?”

“This is a betrayal of the Empire. We can’t win! Even for the sake of our family, we should fully accept all the demands of the Union Government, which represents the will of the Empire. I also firmly believe that the Union will give us a good explanation.”

“I am a warrior of the Kingdom, but I am even more of a warrior of the Empire! Father, I can’t watch you make mistakes again and again. You will bring the whole country and everyone into an irredeemable abyss.”

At this point, Prince Eureka knelt on one knee and said in a sad voice:

“Please abdicate, Father!”

After he spoke, half of the ministers, generals, and lords in the venue also knelt down: “Your Majesty, please abdicate!”

The old King Altay slowly put his forward posture back. He sighed for a long time, sat down in his seat weakly, and couldn’t speak.

…

“…The formal armistice terms have been signed. Altay Pampos will abdicate, and the Kingdom of Pampos will be inherited by Eureka Pampos. Altay will be tried by the Union Military Court. He is accused of committing multiple war crimes.”

“After the signing of the armistice agreement, the remaining nearly two million kingdom troops under the control of Panpos will surrender to our army unconditionally in batches and accept all control.”

“The Alliance’s government officials and envoys can smoothly enter the new government of the Panpos Kingdom to assist them in reforming the government and supervising policy implementation.”

“After the surrender of the Panpos Kingdom, we have controlled more than 60% of the population and 72% of the available land area on this planet. The remaining countries will no longer have the power to fight against us.”

“Governor, I am sure that we have now achieved a complete victory!”

Gu Hang put the document he had read aside.

The situation is always moving in the direction planned by the General Staff of the Alliance.

The war is basically over. Although

there will definitely be some suppression and clearing operations in the future, and even most of the remaining countries should follow Panbos’s footsteps and surrender together-after all, they don’t even have the Knight Titan. However, it is possible that some small countries will continue to resist stubbornly due to various possible factors.

But after all, those are just some minor problems.

The entire Black Arrow Star can be regarded as officially becoming a part of the Alliance.

Gu Hang paid a considerable price for this.

Especially looking at the so-called decisive battle before. Although

the Alliance Army was under the command of Perbov, it was considered to be unstoppable, destroying all kinds of enemies along the way and achieving the final victory. But in fact, as a price, the Alliance’s losses were also not small.

The Alliance had a total loss of more than 200,000 personnel.

Of course, most of these 200,000 losses came from the vassal army.

But the alliance’s direct troops were not that comfortable.

The alliance lost more than 2,000 armored vehicles, including 477 Lion tanks; more than 40 wind falcon fighters were shot down; nearly 80,000 people permanently withdrew from the military sequence in terms of casualties, of which more than 40,000 were killed.

This is almost the battle with the largest single loss since the establishment of the alliance.

Of course, this victory also has gains.

Or to say, the gains are far greater than the losses.

First of all, Gu Hang received more than 20,000 points of gift points in a series of battles after the alliance army entered the Kingdom of Panbos.

Moreover, it was through this decisive battle that the alliance was able to completely lay the foundation for the task of conquering the entire planet.

In addition, the documents legalizing the “alliance” issued by the central government of the empire.

Gu Hang can now say that he is the owner of the Black Arrow Star, both in name and in fact. The reason

for such an urgent expansion is that this planet has huge development potential in Gu Hang’s view.

The natural conditions here are actually much better than those of the Angry Owl Star.

Wrathful Owl may have been a good place in its heyday, but now it is a wasteland planet. Compared with agricultural planets like Black Arrow that have not been overdeveloped, there is still a big gap.

There are still 400 million people here, which is also ten times that of Wrathful Owl. Although there is a big difference in population quality, the quality of Wrathful Owl’s population has not been good since the first day. Isn’t it that it has been tirelessly promoting adult education for more than three years, and has been forced to improve it a little?

Even if the quality of the population of Black Arrow may be worse, Gu Hang believes that the problem can be solved.

Later, Gu Hang will transfer Osena from Wrathful Owl.

That lady is the prime minister of the Alliance government, not just the prime minister of Wrathful Owl. Now that the Alliance has become an interstellar organization that directly controls the binary stars, Osena will also supervise Black Arrow.

Gu Hang hopes to further promote political reforms on Black Arrow.

In the past, the model of the Luman Kingdom was no longer applicable.

To put it bluntly, Gu Hang’s rule on Black Arrow Star was not very legal before, so the method he adopted was more like the way the sovereign governed the colonies.

But Gu Hang thought that this thing would not last long.

If you don’t treat others as human beings, it will be difficult for them to regard the Alliance as their “motherland” and feel a sense of belonging to the Alliance.

The biggest problem of the Alliance now is that the core population is still small.

Especially after Gu Hang saw the “big place” with tens of billions of people like Korojia 3, he felt this way.

Therefore, the next reform on Black Arrow Star must strive to be “localized”. He needs to establish a political structure on Black Arrow Star that recognizes him and is highly centralized, so that he can mobilize the power of Black Arrow Star as easily as mobilizing the power of Angry Owl Star.

At the same time, some economic and productivity development models that have been proven to be effective on Angry Owl Star should be copied as soon as possible.

At that time, multiple suitable locations will be selected on Black Arrow Star to build industrial centers similar to Weixing City.

At present, Black Arrow Star is still a backward planet dominated by agricultural production. Agriculture should never need so many people.

There is still a lot of land that has not been cultivated, but the serfs on the Black Arrow Star have to be restricted to working hard on only a few acres of land per capita, and most of the income from their labor is exploited by the lords and nobles.

In Gu Hang’s view, this is a huge waste of productivity.

Large farms, mechanized large-scale production, liberation of agricultural population, construction of industrial industries… This series of actions must be implemented and completed on the Black Arrow Star.

In this process, the class of “nobles” and “landlords” must be eliminated.

Of course, at present, this so-called “elimination” should not be too cruel, not to the point of physical elimination. After all, they surrendered.

But the alliance also has some existing experience to use.

When the Beiqing Valley area was recovered, the original manor owner was retained; when the eastern provinces were recovered, the local rulers were retained.

The experience of the alliance is to incorporate the original rulers into the government management agency of the alliance to perform similar duties, but deprive them of property rights and ownership. Those who own land can convert it into job ranks and enjoy the welfare policies of the alliance, but in the end the land will be officially owned by the alliance, only the nobles will continue to manage the land and the people on it as officials of the alliance.

But with such a change, those former landlords and current officials can no longer act recklessly, but must follow the rules of the alliance.

And breaking the rules…

From now on, the alliance will start to establish an anti-corruption system. Alliance Chief Justice Lambert will arrive at Black Arrow Star soon.

To put it bluntly, the top leaders of the alliance are not so naive, and do not think that those noble masters can be qualified officials.

But first, they must fulfill their promises to them and give them the opportunity to reform; second, they must first get through the initial stage when no one is available; finally… they can be fattened up and then killed.
