Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 352

352. Chapter 351, Tens of Millions of Troops

“Hello, everyone. It’s the first time we meet. Let me introduce myself. I am Lambert Hodgson, Chief Justice of the Alliance. I am in charge of the legislation, law enforcement, and trial of the Alliance. Of course, all the laws of the Alliance are established according to the will of the Governor. I am just perfecting the laws. Law enforcement and trial work must naturally be carried out in accordance with

the law.” “You are all in the preliminary screening and have nothing to do with the rebellion that has not yet started. This is very good. On behalf of the Governor, I hope you can continue to keep it.”

“Regarding the promises you made at the Governor’s banquet, I also have a list here, all of which are recorded. I believe that all loyal subjects of the Empire will seriously fulfill your political promises.”

“This is your responsibility, and it is also my responsibility.”

A meeting was held in the Governor’s Mansion.

Lambert, who was speaking, had a warm attitude and tone. He just talked about his job responsibilities in a plain way and emphasized that everyone should be attentive to their work.

However, combined with the rows of heads behind him, the picture was a bit scary.

Many of the dignitaries of Mingyan City sitting in the conference room were silent and only dared to nod.

In the past few days, Mingyan City has been slaughtered in droves.

Normally, many people die in Mingyan City every day. Gang fights, overwork in factories, malnutrition, diseases…

However, the dead are all low-level people whose lives are worthless. In the eyes of these people, at most they are just some numbers – they are even too lazy to look at the numbers.

But now it is different.

The heads hanging on the wall behind Lambert are almost all familiar faces to them. They were all powerful figures in Mingyan City earlier, but now they have all been beheaded and hung here.

Those who don’t want to be hung up, of course, dare not jump.

As for rebellion?

Come on.

The head of Admiral Johnson, the commander of the capital who controls the five million defenders of Mingyan City, is hanging here. The most powerful faction, who had the intention of bringing the army to make the governor bow his head, was finished, so what was the rest of the people going to do?

It was said that the newly arrived General Political Commissar Thadius of the Alliance had already brought his political commissar team to the army and announced the treatment standards of the Alliance army.

That was much stronger than the planetary defense forces on Koroja, almost on par with the Star Army.

More importantly, the official warehouses of Mingyan City and the private warehouses of some dignitaries were all opened, and a large amount of supplies were distributed in a centralized manner. The promises made to the big soldiers were not just empty promises, but were thrown down without any discounts.

Many people who “voluntarily” contributed a lot in this process were bleeding in their hearts.

It was all pure silver, but it was given to those poor soldiers as consumables. What a sin!

Anyway, they were all cannon fodder who were going to die, was it necessary?

But no one dared to say this to their faces.

They could only complain in their hearts, with such high treatment, could the finances hold up?

Even if they slaughtered everyone like fat pigs for the New Year, would they not live like that after the New Year?

But there was no other way.

They still needed to contribute their own strength in the future.

They only hoped that everything would return to the way it was when the disaster was over.

…

In addition to his demon hunter team and the soldiers of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Phoenix Regiment also helped Lambert deal with and collect the heads.

The Phoenixes didn’t need to go out for other things. Admiral Johnson’s loyal confidants were in the army, and they were either division commanders or regiment commanders. They couldn’t give these people a chance to cause trouble, so they had to ensure that they would be killed in one blow. For this kind of work, only the Space Marines could ensure 100% success.

The effect of their deployment was also particularly good. With the orders of the planetary governor, the orders of the government, and the arrival of such a striking Emperor Angel in person, the army really didn’t act rashly. And those officers, even if they didn’t want to surrender when they saw the situation was not good, they couldn’t escape the execution of the Space Marines at the critical moment.

After all, it was inevitable that there would be some minor disturbances, but they were soon settled.

After doing all this, the Space Marines quickly withdrew and handed over the army to the military and political commissars of the Alliance.

They had other more important tasks.

…

The Governor’s Mansion in Mingyan City, which was decorated with luxurious decorations, has now become a large office. The team led by Lambert moved in here. Mayor Ezra Hood, who had a broken leg, also gritted his teeth and insisted on working with injuries, moved the city government in, and fully cooperated with Lambert.

Or it could be said that the two of them were cooperating with Thadius.

Now is a time of war, and military construction is the most important. Thadius is shouldering the most difficult task.

Under normal circumstances, Mingyan City should have 10 million local troops stationed. Since the problem in Fino City, the demand for troops has been very large. Not only Mingyan City, but also various hives around the world have been constantly drawing troops to participate in the battle in Fino City.

The garrison force of Mingyan City was only two or three million at the least in the past few years.

That is already a very dangerous number. If it is any smaller, there will not be enough power to suppress any incidents in the Lower Nest and the Lower Nest.

As the battle situation in Fino City collapsed and the next target was clearly to come to Mingyan City, a considerable number of troops began to be mobilized from all over the country to Mingyan City. At present, there are about 5 million troops in the city.

According to the governor’s request, the number of the Fino City garrison must be expanded. The total number must be expanded to 20 million.

Among them, the troops that enjoy the so-called “Star Army” treatment are the most core, with a total planned number of 10 million, which is half of the total number of troops.

This force will be given the number of “Salvation Army”.

It can be seen how heavy Thadius’s task is.

In the next few months, he will not only complete the control and transformation of the existing 5 million local troops, but also recruit another 15 million troops.

The entire Mingyan City government will go all out to provide all necessary support to Lieutenant General Thadius to ensure that he can complete the governor’s task.

It is mainly manpower cooperation, to put it bluntly, it is conscription.

Don’t think that conscription is an easy thing just because Mingyan City has 3 billion people. You can just grab any of them.

It’s not that simple    to grab 0.5% of the population.

The Mingyancheng government’s control over the most populous Dihu and Xiahu areas is insufficient, and there was also an epidemic here, with cult activities, rebels, disobedient gangs, and opposition organizations. The government’s organizational ability and control over the population are surprisingly poor. There is no such thing as people will be in place obediently after a list is given.

Similarly, with so many troops, there are still a lot of material support issues to be solved.

Various objective problems exist, and the entire government department is working hard towards this goal under the efforts of Mayor Hood and the supervision of Lambert.

Lambert had long anticipated the low administrative efficiency on Korojia, but when he really encountered it, he found that it was more difficult than he imagined.

Subjectively, it is the people of the Korojia planetary government who are too poor in their ability to do things. The scale of administrative personnel is hundreds or thousands of times that of the Alliance government, but the efficiency is ridiculously low; objectively, after the number of people to be managed has increased several times, the degree of difficulty has increased by orders of magnitude.

This has resulted in the objective difficulty being high and the subjective ability being poor.

Lambert was very angry, but he had to realize that this was the reality. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to make sure that these people worked hard. Get rid of the corrupt elements and traitors, and the remaining people, if they were not capable, could only be dealt with later.

But no matter how inefficient it was, no matter how the rusty gears in this mechanism creaked, no matter how much confusion there was in the procedures and results, when this hive with a population of three billion began to operate, the power it burst out was still very, very terrifying.

Lambert originally thought that it would be very difficult to achieve the goal, but looking at the current situation, it was really promising.

…

Mingyan City was working hard to expand its army.

At present, on this planet, the real main force was deployed in Fino City – or it could be said that it was “running with” Fino City.

The Dragon Eagle Legion still had 18 million troops; under the command of Lieutenant General Hans, there were nearly 50 million planetary defense troops; the Angry Bear Legion led by Li Kexi was also among them.

The remaining nearly 100 million planetary defense forces are defending in other nests and suppressing the spread of their own plague cults.

At present, the combat efforts of the main human forces are basically based on long-range artillery.

The human self-propelled artillery troops follow the “Fino City” day and night, bombarding the activated city with no less than 30,000 shells a day. Even if they cannot break the void shield, they must consume it – regardless of whether this consumption is futile.

From time to time, the evil heavy artillery in the “Fino City” will also fire at the human artillery array. Relatively speaking, this loss is much greater than the human bombardment of the activated city.

In addition, the plague demon army also attacks from time to time and comes to harass, which will also cause considerable losses.

Such a battle is meaningless, and the city of Fino has not slowed down at all.

There is no need to continue to consume such sacrifices, and the shells are also very valuable.

At his request, Lieutenant General Hans is now integrating and organizing the entire army. Tens of millions of people will assemble to the west of Mingyan City.

Adding up to almost 60 million people, it is impossible to gather them in one place. No single battlefield can deploy such a large number of manpower.

The troops are divided into divisions and build dozens of dense defense lines with a width of more than 100 kilometers to the west of Mingyan City, which is the direction of “Fino City”.

When Lieutenant General Hans was about to explain, Gu Hang gave him clear instructions:

“When necessary, we must make absolute sacrifices, not sparing 19 million star army and 60 million planetary defense forces, and the whole army must launch a general attack on Fino City.”

Lieutenant General Hans expressed strong opposition.

He was not afraid of death, but thought it was meaningless. Don’t think

that the army will be useful just because there are more troops. The battlefield space of Fino City is so large in total. It is the limit to invest hundreds of thousands of people in the attack at the same time on one side. The width of the battlefield is limited. There is no point in piling up more people.

Of course, if the troops are sufficient, it means that hundreds of thousands can be thrown in first, and the next batch can be replaced immediately after the defeat, and the offensive posture will never stop.

But such a war requires very strong soldiers and organization.

Lieutenant General Hans made it clear that only the Astra Militarum could do it.

The huge number of planetary defense forces, let them carry out such a desperate mission like the million-strong Astra Militarum that had tried to attack before and was almost annihilated in Fino City?

That was impossible.

The army did not have enough strength, morale, and organization to do this. If the order was forced, even if the Dato’s Squadron was blocking behind, I am afraid the army would still mutiny: fighting with the Supervisory Squadron might at least give them a way out.

The role that these planetary defense forces can play is only when there are stronger troops in front who can hold on, they can help; it is unrealistic to expect them to perform heroically and take on the main force.

Gu Hang expressed his understanding of this. But he still demanded that Lieutenant General Hans must act according to his orders.

This order was issued as the commander of the theater.

Lieutenant General Hans could only execute it.

Although most of his troops came from the three stars of the Fachers, and even a considerable proportion of the officers had deep ties with the Fachers family, many people advised him to keep a distance from the new governor who stole the power of the Fachers and not to cooperate with the action.

However, he still executed the order of the theater commander.

He remembered his identity as a star army, the 3rd Army Group of the Dragon Eagle Legion, and not the private soldiers of the Fachers family.

Of course, there were still dissatisfactions – not necessarily his own, but those of the Fachers officers under his command. This group of people came to his door and cried every day, forcing him to send an impeachment letter to heaven every two days. And the people of the Fachers family made a fuss about this thing every day at the ship meeting of the special envoy Lao Yisi.

Lao Yisi was also under great pressure.

Gu Hang, the theater commander, was appointed by her as a special envoy. If it was really destroyed, her political career would at least be greatly affected, not to say that it would end.

However, Ms. Lao Yisi, who has lived for more than 300 years, is still able to withstand pressure.

She resisted all the pressure with all her strength, and didn’t say anything to Gu Hang.

Although she didn’t know for sure, she was still willing to give Gu Hang all her trust.

Trust your people, at least before Mingyan City is destroyed, her trust will be 100%.

If Mingyan City is lost, then the trust will immediately return to zero, and all the alternative plans that should be activated will be activated.

She never wants to go to that step.
