Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 371

371. Chapter 370, Fundamental Solution

Gu Hang was dealing with the documents at hand while listening to Lieutenant General Hans’s endless complaints on the external call.

“Commander Gu, are you listening to me?”

“Of course I am listening.” Gu Hang responded, indicating that he was still there.

“But I don’t think you take my problem to heart at all. I need troops, more troops! The size of the Salvation Army must be at least doubled, otherwise we will not be able to continue to guarantee the control of the base area! My team is too scattered, and I can’t take care of so many people. Once attacked, there will be losses…”

Hans started again.

Since he entered Mingyan City a month ago and led his troops into an endless security war, he has called Gu Hang many times to ask for more troops.

Gu Hang can completely understand.

The Star Army plus the Salvation Army, 40 million people, seems a lot, but in comparison, there are 4 billion people in Mingyan City. The chaotic situation in the base area requires a large number of troops to guard almost every block in order to maintain military control.

The strict military control strategy caused the troops to be seriously dispersed. Often, a regiment stationed in a neighborhood with more than 100,000 people would not have a big problem if it faced a direct attack from the enemy. They could not gather so many guns and could not resist the army.

The difficult part was that the soldiers on guard, patrol, and doing business were easily shot from behind the corner. A military vehicle could hit a roadside bomb after driving a few steps.

Those gangs or the rebels did not want to give up control of the territory they controlled.

No wonder Hans complained bitterly.

In the past month, they had sacrificed thousands of people.

This number was indeed completely different from the tragic level of the previous decisive battle, when a division was wiped out in a few hours, but the human cost was still not small.

The Salvation Army was better off. Hans’s direct troops already had a lot of grievances.

After the big battle, they wanted to go home, but they were sent to fight a security war. The casualties were not a big deal, but the key was that they were nervous about everything they did, which consumed a lot of energy.

Many people have already said that it would be better to let go and fight a good battle.

Hans wanted to increase the troops, not because he could not control the situation, but because he hoped to give his troops a chance to rest and adjust.

Gu Hang knew all these things.

However, he still rejected Hans’s request again and again.

Military control is only a stopgap measure.

If the problem of public security war needs to be solved by the army for a long time, then there is no need to do this. No matter how many troops are added, it is meaningless and cannot solve the fundamental problem. Can military control be for a few months, a few years, or a lifetime?

Gu Hang had already thought of the real means to solve the problem.

After sending away Lieutenant General Hans who was full of complaints, it was time for Gu Hang to meet with the people who could really solve the problem.

This is a large group of people.

Among them, there are senior alliance officials from the Angry Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star, and there are also people who have performed well in Mingyan City in recent months and appeared on Lambert’s list-the blue list.

Among them, there are people from the Union Ministry of Foreign Affairs who are responsible for external communication, exchanges, recruitment and negotiation. The leader is Niko LS Lihovich.

He will travel all over the lower nest area and the lower nest area to negotiate with some forces that are still worth saving, and strive to disband them peacefully or accept them into the new government of Koroga.

Among those who are worth saving, there are more rebels.

The rebels in the hive usually call themselves “resistance”. Some of them are radical and no longer recognize the rule of the empire or the rule of the Koroga government. The more rebellious ones even deny their faith in the emperor. Some are more conservative and are just fighting to promote negotiations and strive for more practical benefits for their own forces and the people on their territory.

These rebels, or the reasons for the emergence of the rebels, no matter how dirty or noble they are, are essentially just one point: life is unbearable, and they are rebelling!

But in Gu Hang’s view, this can be recruited.

Now, these rebels have been beaten up, and many of them can no longer carry out public activities. Now is the time for Salihovich to go out. If they can be negotiated, recruited, and absorbed into the planetary government system, they will be recruited directly, and then the martial law will be gradually lifted to see how things go.

Gangs, regional monopoly enterprise alliances, cults… these problems may be more complicated than the rebels. Their demands are more complicated and their appetites are bigger. Especially for cults, there is basically no basis for negotiation.

But no matter what kind of target they are facing, what Salihovich, who has been led by many people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, has to do is to formulate different plans according to the characteristics and demands of different forces. Those who can be recruited will be recruited, and those who cannot be recruited will be resolutely destroyed.

Salihovich’s work is important, but not the most important.

Whether it is to recruit them if the negotiations are successful, or to rebuild the system after the devastating blow if the negotiations fail, a second wave of people is needed.

The Prime Minister of the Alliance, Ms. Ossena, has come to Koroja.

A month ago, Koroja, led by Governor Gu Hang, had officially joined the planetary organization “Alliance”. Of course, the Prime Minister of the Alliance has to come to this place that has suddenly appeared and has a population eighty times more than the original Alliance.

But what can she do alone?

Although she has transferred many people from the government system of the alliance in the binary stars, it is still a drop in the bucket, not to mention Korojia, even for Mingyan City with a population of four billion.

No matter how reliable and developed the civil service system of the alliance is, it cannot withstand the situation where the management scale suddenly expands dozens of times.

The management of Korojia ultimately depends on the local people of Korojia.

For this reason, after the war, Gu Hang established five Zhongsi Colleges and five comprehensive colleges in Mingyan City.

The cost of the college is not large. Just find a building on the spot and transfer some instructors and lecturers from the Angry Owl Star. The cost of the gift point is only one thousand points, which is like a drizzle for Gu Hang, who has a million gift points.

However, the training of personnel is a big problem.

The original number of administrative bureaucrats and civil servants in Mingyan City is almost two million. It looks like a huge number, but it is actually not enough.

According to Gu Hang’s plan, the number of civil servants is to be expanded to at least 0.3% of the total population – which means 12 million civil servants.

Even if the population density of a hive city is extremely high, the number of civil servants required can be greatly reduced, but at least 7 to 8 million people are required to ensure the control of the entire hive city, as Gu Hang wishes.

In any case, the current two million administrative personnel are definitely not enough. Not to mention, there are still many scum among these two million people.

This is Ossena’s job. She has to recruit many administrative personnel to implement the administrative system of the alliance.

Of course, it will definitely not be done in a few months. Recruiting and training millions of reliable administrative personnel is not something that can be done overnight. Even the current rank system implemented by the alliance in the binary star cannot be copied all at once – it can’t be supported.

However, some emergency measures can be used first.

The first thing is not the ability of administrative personnel, but the loyalty.

Gu Hang spent a full 400,000 points of grace for this.

40,000 administrative personnel were trained in five Zhongsi Colleges at a price of 10 points per person and within a week.

This is an emergency measure.

In the future, it is impossible for all the millions of civil servants needed by Mingyan City to undergo [Soldier Card] training and be endowed with proper loyalty like a political commissar.

Moreover, training as a political commissar can only ensure loyalty, but not work ability.

But emergency response is possible.

Ossena’s current job is this: to form 40,000 working groups with these 40,000 administrative personnel as the core. These trained people will be the core roles of the working groups, and there will be more than 20 people in the groups to assist and supervise them.

And these people will go down to all the negotiated, incorporated, or cleared areas to do their work.

Registering the population of the block, preaching the policies of the alliance, distributing basic rations, organizing labor production, organizing commercial circulation… these are their main tasks.

The most important of these is, of course, organizing labor production. No matter

how well Gu Hang’s alliance has developed over the years, it can never support Koroja. There are too many people on this planet, and they will eventually need to rely on themselves to support themselves.

These so-called labor production and commercial circulation mainly depend on what these blocks are doing. But to be honest, there are not many places with decent industries in the bottom nest area and the lower nest area.

But it doesn’t matter. If there are, then nationalize them and continue to operate. Guarantee the treatment of workers and the efficiency of enterprises. The income generated will be distributed to workers according to the rank policy of the alliance, and the rest will be handed over.

Where there are no such places, that is the work of another line led by Ossena: industrial transfer.

In recent months, starships have come from the Angry Owl Star one after another. Many industries that were considered suitable for development in Korojia during preliminary research, and there is overflow of production capacity on the Angry Owl Star, will be demolished and relocated to Korojia.

For this reason, the Angry Owl Star has been busy recently. Many production lines that were previously sealed in Wu Jiarong’s research institute and pulled out of the mother machine black box, but could not be put into production due to problems with raw materials, the number of workers, and the industrial structure, were all sent to the transport ships of Gu’s Trading Company and transported to Korojia.

The most typical of these is some low-end military industries. Rifles, bullets, towed artillery, shells, bulletproof inserts… These industries with relatively low technical content are just right for those managed blocks in Mingyan City.

In addition, there is another particularly important industry, that is, the synthetic starch production line and the corresponding organic waste recycling.

I won’t go into detail about what organic fertilizer is, as it is not easy to accept.

Although the mechanization reform of farms in the Qinggu area of Angry Owl and Black Arrow in recent years has brought a bumper harvest to these two planets, and the food reserves are sufficient. However, on the one hand, the food transported must be used sparingly, and it is not realistic to rely entirely on external transportation; on the other hand, the Alliance cannot put all the food into Korojia, and strategic reserves are still needed.

In the environment of the bottom nest area of Mingyan City, it is impossible to feed so many people and use synthetic starch on a large scale.

Having said that, no matter what the raw materials are, the synthetic starch produced after it is done is the same.

There are really many blocks without industrial development, and the Alliance has also sent some industries that can barely be regarded as mid-range.

The two automobile industries of Tieniu and Patrol; engineering machinery manufacturing; Wanderer armored vehicle production line; collection, processing and smelting of metal waste…

These industrial lines require a large number of workers, and often a large heavy factory is built at once, which can absorb workers from multiple blocks.

This is not just to support the construction of Mingyan City. For large industries, moving to places with denser populations and lower costs is also beneficial in itself, which can significantly reduce costs and significantly improve the progress of production expansion.

In fact, the working group on the ground conducted research and found that there was nothing good to develop in the area, and it could not apply for production lines supported by the alliance. There are other ways.

On the one hand, you can work across blocks. Relying on a large factory, one person from a household enters and is determined to have a job grade, so you can barely support your family and not starve to death.

What’s more, it is not necessary for everyone to work in the factory. The rest of the people work in a series of service-oriented derivative industries such as canteens, clothing, catering, transport teams, construction workers, etc.

If there is no other way, the remaining population of the entire block will be relocated.

Of course, this also needs to be identified.

No problem, just migrate to Wrathful Owl and Black Arrow. There are still a lot of vacancies on these two planets.

In Gu Hang’s opinion, although the Hive City is a special city built specifically to accommodate high-density people, the density is too high. Korojia’s environment has long been unable to bear it. Large-scale migration of Korojia’s population to other planets of the Alliance will be a long-term policy in the future.

However, not everyone can migrate to the Twin Stars.

For example, some neighborhoods are places where cult activities are particularly serious. After a serious cleanup, the remaining people who are not really poisoned but have believed in cults in the past will be concentrated and sent to the immigration base – this is a huge facility in Mingyan City, which is specially used to temporarily accommodate human taxes when paying imperial taxes.

These people will be used to pay taxes when the imperial tax fleet visits next time – although Korojia does not have to pay taxes now, it can also pay, and exchange them for tax coins after paying.

…

These are Gu Hang’s fundamental way to end the security war: economic development.

With enough food to eat and a promising life, the people are so full that they want to use their flesh and blood to fight against the guns of the Star Army and the Salvation Army?
