Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 343

343. Chapter 342, the farewell sheng xiao

Xiao Gu Hang’s previous sentence was exactly the same as what old Fofana said. Although he respected Ye Lixia very much and gave her the right to choose, after all, their identities were different, so it was more or less perfunctory.

But the latter sentence really hit what Ye Lixia was thinking.

Is she a person who is content with the status quo? Is she a person who is satisfied with being the representative of the family, the wife of Gu Hang, and the symbol of the union of the two families?

Not really.

Although old Fofana did not say it explicitly, the old man’s previous statement that “putting himself in the sea of stars established Fofana’s prestige” had clearly stated the old man’s opinion.

Then, Gu Hang really hit her mind, and that was indeed what she wanted.

The man she trusted most in her past life, and the man she should trust most in the future, said so.

So what is there for her to hesitate about?

Ye Lixia smiled and said to Gu Hang: “Then I will leave right after getting engaged. I don’t know how long it will take until the end of the war. Will you wait for me?”

“Of course, my lady, I will wait for the news of your victorious return.”

“When the war is over, we will get married.”

Gu Hang felt that this sentence was a bit strange, but he didn’t think too much about whether it was auspicious or not.

He tentatively stretched out his hand and embraced Ye Lixia.

The female general’s body was a little stiff. She was not used to it, and even instinctively wanted to break free.

But she didn’t.

Then, neither of them spoke.

Feeling the body temperature transmitted from each other, they all relaxed a lot.

In fact, they all understood a truth in their hearts: they didn’t have much emotional foundation, but because of this, they should try to create this kind of emotion while they had a limited time.

This was rational thinking.

But soon, all these rationalities turned into emotions.

…

The engagement ceremony of Gu and Fufana was a rare grand occasion even on the prosperous planet of Feiyi Star.

The grand and luxurious scene and arrangement are secondary. What is more important is the participants and the significance of the political event.

There are two groups of people here.

First, there are a large number of neutral people. In addition to the representatives of the two Imperial Chambers of Commerce and the Imperial Navy, there are also members of the State Church, the Psychic Order, and other big businessmen and big capital… These people came to participate in the engagement ceremony.

They all have two characteristics:

First, they each have their own political or physical power, but they are not too strong within the star zone.

Second, they do not want to be involved in the vortex of the struggle between Fache and the star zone government, which is currently the theme of the Pegasus star zone.

Now, the combination of Gu and Fofana has suddenly become a banner, calling on these neutral forces to unite.

As a result, the third-party neutral forces, which were not weak but very scattered, formed an alliance that was still not close, but at least had the same demands, and united around Gu and Fofana.

As a result, the second wave of people was triggered.

The Fachers family sent people, especially Ivan Fachers, the governor of Koroja, the new noble of the Fachers family, who flew from Koroja to attend the event.

At the same time, the star zone leader Ivan Martinelli and the governor of the Wing Star, Little Pedes, were also present.

The core figures of the two parties, who were as hostile as fire and water, were all present.

In the eyes of others, this was of course a great honor for the two families and for the engaged couple Gu Hang and Ye Lixia. In order to attend their engagement ceremony, even the life-and-death relationship could be temporarily put aside and stay in the same room.

In fact, they were a little forced.

They did not value the neutral forces before, but now they gathered together through this engagement ceremony, which could not be ignored. They could not bear such a huge force and leaned towards the other side, which would directly break the balance of confrontation.

The neutral party’s demands were also very clear: you can fight, anyway, we can’t control it. However, even if you fight, you have to set a rule, and fight within the rules, and it can’t be too outrageous. The chaotic and unbridled political struggle in the Tianma Star Region over the past two years must be stopped. The situation in Koroja has not improved at all, and has even become worse step by step. It must be reversed.

And there is no doubt that the Director of Taxation, Ms. Neil Laois, who also participated in the engagement ceremony of Gu Hang and Ye Lixia, as a representative of the Star Region Government, also stood on the neutral side and made the same request to both sides of the political struggle.

In this way, no matter how reluctant the two parties are, they must sit at the same table and talk about this matter.

This is actually a situation that Wang Qi and Old Fufana, who have been worried about the overall situation of the star region, have set up by taking advantage of the engagement of two young people.

As the protagonists of the engagement ceremony, the two of them have no intention of participating in these things under the table.

It’s not that they are incapable of participating. The two of them have a pivotal position in their respective forces. It can even be said that Ye Lixia will be in charge of the next generation of Fufana, and the same is true for Gu’s Trading Company. There is no need to wait until later. Now the right to speak of the two of them is very important, especially Gu Hang.

But since there are old hands at home, they are too lazy to participate in the places where the old hands need to use their experience and wisdom.

Instead of scheming, it is better to seize the last time to be warm and cultivate feelings.

Then, before the “old people” have come up with a result after many connections, negotiations, and compromises, the two have to say goodbye.

On the sixth day after the engagement ceremony, Ye Lishia received an official transfer order from the Imperial Navy.

It is mainly composed of five cruisers, including Quintet, Opera, Cello, Terminus, and Interlude, equipped with fourteen destroyers, thirty frigates, and the rest of the patrol ships and smaller boats are not counted.

The force of the Pegasus Fleet is more than half, and most of the ships have been dispatched, leaving only two cruisers.

The main commander of the expeditionary fleet is Tillemans, the commander of the Pegasus Fleet, Lieutenant General, and his flagship is the “Opera”.

Ye Lisia, with the rank of major general, served as the captain of the Quintet and also served as the deputy commander of the fleet, assisting Tillemans.

On the Winged Star, people held a grand departure ceremony for the navy.

Most of the sailors of the Pegasus Fleet’s starships come from the Empire’s taxes – or to put it bluntly, from Koroga.

However, most of the naval officers are natives of Feiyi Star and graduated from Feiyi Naval Academy.

These local officers said goodbye to their wives, children, and parents before setting off. The sky was full of colorful ribbons, and the passionate music was played repeatedly. Under the bright sunshine, the warriors of the Empire will walk towards the sea of stars in the expectation and concern of their families.

After saying goodbye to her parents and family, Ye Lixia stood in front of Gu Hang again. The two of them were like other young officers saying goodbye to their partners, hugging and whispering.

After a while, the urging sound of the space elevator “beep beep” sounded, and the two separated.

Ye Lixia put her hands behind her back, facing Gu Hang with the sunshine as the background, smiling and stepping back.

“I’m leaving.”

“Return triumphantly.”

“Okay.”

The female general put on her military cap, smiled and waved, turned around and left, and rushed to her battlefield.

…

As Ye Lishia left, Gu Hang found that he really missed her a little.

He did not restrain this emotion, but let it develop.

This is not a bad thing.

As for Ye Lishia’s safety, no one can guarantee this matter. Gu Hang is powerless across several star regions. All he can do is to send a team of people to enter the Quintet to ensure Ye Lishia’s safety.

This team consists of five Phoenixes and one hundred special combat elites of the Tenth Brigade wearing exoskeletons.

But in fact, the role they can play is not that big.

In the war in the star sea, the losing side has almost no way out. The space warriors are not gods. No matter how strong they are, they can’t save people when the starship is blown up.

The only place where they can play a role is when they encounter a boarding battle.

Coincidentally, the green-skinned orcs are one of the forces that likes to engage in boarding battles the most in the entire star sea.

With these elite people, at least in the case of a boarding battle, with the guard force on the Quintet, it should be able to play a significant role.

…

After Ye Lixia left, Gu Hang himself did not stay on the flying wing for long. The next day, he said goodbye to his mother and returned to the Angry Owl Star.

When he passed Korojia halfway, he paused and greeted his soldiers as the legion commander, especially the Korojia people who had just joined the Angry Bear Legion from the new recruits camp on Korojia.

In the 320,000-man army, although the people are all there and the numbers are all there, it has not actually been fully established.

Although the procedures have been in place, the tax coins needed to form them total more than 14 million, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has also given it to the alliance, which has been transformed into orders for all the military equipment and supplies needed to equip these 320,000 people.

But at present, these things are still in the order state. After all, weapons and equipment cannot be conjured out of thin air, and they all need to be produced.

The alliance has done its best to explode production capacity on the Angry Owl Star and the Black Sword Star.

According to the negotiations between the alliance and the representatives of the Ministry of Military Affairs, within the next year, the alliance will have all the 320,000 people armed. An official from the Military Affairs Department will stay here, and the Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion, as a friendly force, will also send a representative to supervise this matter.

This means that in addition to its own needs, the Alliance will have to produce more than 600 tanks, more than 3,000 armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, and tens of thousands of other military vehicles within a year. As for other individual equipment and company-level equipment, there is no need to count them.

There is still pressure on production capacity.

It is a little difficult to meet such a large production capacity demand relying solely on the Angry Owl Star. After all, the war on the Black Arrow Star in the past two years has also lost a lot of weapons and equipment. Those tanks and armored vehicles have not been replenished yet. Unless the other forces of the Alliance are not supplied at all and the Alliance itself does not expand its military, it will be difficult to meet the needs of the Angry Bear Legion’s wave of new troops within a year.

However, if the Black Arrow Star is included, it will be fine.

On the Black Arrow Star, the Stefano Industrial Center, which was built on the former capital of the Stefano Kingdom, has put into production a production line of Lion tanks.

With the increase of industrial population there and the laying of more production lines, productivity has gradually increased, and it should be able to bear some of the pressure for the production tasks on the Wrathful Owl Star.

After inspecting the army, Gu Hang met with Colonel Li Kexi, the commander who had been fighting on the Black Arrow Star, to learn about the recent situation and Li Kexi’s views on the future.

There is nothing much to say about the situation. The intensity of the battle in Korojia has not been too great. Even though the governor named Fachers urged them to attack with all their strength every day and solve the problem as soon as possible, the commander here, General Hansen, ignored these voices.

Li Kexi’s words showed that he was quite in favor of General Hansen. They had talked about this issue before, and General Hansen assured his subordinates that he would never fight a “political battle”. Whether or not to fight and how to fight are purely from a military perspective.

Anyway, he is the commander-in-chief of the Star Army, the commander-in-chief, and the planetary governor cannot control him.

Here, we must mention Li Kexi and many imperial officers fighting on the front line, and their views on the future.

They are quite pessimistic.

Fino City was like a huge black hole, constantly sucking everything around it in. The population was constantly decreasing, but due to some political reasons, the refugee camps that had been established were not moving fast enough.

As for the politicians’ request to have the army march into Fino City and completely retake the entire hive, that was simply impossible.

“With our current strength, I’m afraid we’ll have to put all of the Dragon Eagle Corps’ more than 20 million people in it to make this happen.”

“But if we really have to fill it up, what about the other cities?”

“Governor… Commander, please understand one thing: Koroja’s problem is far bigger than you think. The existing military force can only barely prevent the situation from getting worse. If we want to solve it, we can only do so if we add another 30 million Star Army troops and the decision makers are willing to lose 20 million Star Army troops. Otherwise, let Ivan Facheras, the boastful king, fulfill his words and add 1 billion local troops, which can also solve the problem.” “

And it must be done as soon as possible. 50 million Star Army troops, be prepared to lose 20 million, or 1 billion local defense troops, this is the price to solve the problem now. If we delay it any further and the situation gets worse, no one knows what the price will be by then.”
