Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 373

373. Chapter 372, On Track

Lieutenant General Hans cursed when he learned that the troops had to be divided into two places, to go to two different nests thousands of kilometers apart, to perform military control tasks.

But he soon stopped cursing.

Because the “care” from Governor Gu arrived before the army set off.

The Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion has more than 20 million people, and basically all of them have been thrown into Korojia. In the wars of the past few years, their personnel and equipment replenishment were all provided by the Fachers family-of course, it is said to be provided, but in fact they have to report to the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Ministry of Military Affairs will not give money, and it will be regarded as a tax deduction.

For most planets, it is very cost-effective to raise a star army. Anyway, you have to pay taxes anyway, so it is better to raise soldiers, and you can also deduct taxes after raising them. The soldiers are still under your control. What’s wrong with this?

The premise is that you can control this army.

An accident will be like now, and the entire Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion will not be able to return to Korojia.

And if Gu Hang wants to keep this unit, of course he has to do things.

In the last war, the Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion lost nearly three million soldiers.

Gu Hang replenished all these personnel in one go – three million new soldiers recently recruited from Koroja.

When he first heard the news, especially when he heard the source of these soldiers, Lieutenant General Hans was furious.

But when he saw these soldiers, he shut up.

The quality of the soldiers is absolutely good, even better than when he was in the three-star Fache.

The new soldiers provided by Fache to his legion were drawn from their planetary defense forces. Often, those soldiers have served in the sequence of the planetary defense force for more than two years and have undergone formal military training.

But even so, it is good that 20% of the soldiers can reach the standard level of the Star Army. The remaining 80% need further training. This means that the quality of the soldiers of the entire Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion has reached about 60% of the standard level of the Star Army so far, and the remaining 40% are actually not up to standard.

However, Lieutenant General Hans sent people to personally review the three million soldiers provided by Governor Gu, and almost 100% of them met the standards.

When he got this result, he didn’t believe it at first.

Who could believe it?

He couldn’t help but wonder if his confidant was bribed by Governor Gu?

Then, he went to check it himself, and he had to admit that it was all true.

How did Governor Gu find so many qualified soldiers from Korojia?

Hans said that he found it a bit difficult to understand.

Moreover, Governor Gu provided more than just soldiers.

Among these three million people, a group army was directly built, with 25 fully staffed large infantry divisions, each with 44,000 people, and the large infantry division organization of the alliance was adopted.

This organization also appeared during the Korojia War. Li Kexi reported it to his superiors, discussed it with Yan Fangxu, and then reported it to Taddius, and they jointly studied the organization.

Small divisions are indeed not enough on the Korojia battlefield. The armored combined brigade is okay, after all, it is an elite armored force and a powerful assault force. However, when facing a particularly high-intensity and wide battlefield position, the infantry division, with a scale of about 14,000 people before the alliance, was indeed not enough.

This had to compromise with the reality and create a “large infantry division” that was different from the conventional “infantry division”.

However, the alliance’s large infantry division was slightly different from the division in the Dragon Eagle Legion. Although the number of personnel was similar, the number of firepower weapons and vehicles in the alliance’s large infantry division was stronger than that of the Dragon Eagle Legion. There were

more artillery and more infantry weapons, such as hot melt bombs, heavy bolt guns, plasma guns, infantry howitzers… These were all delegated to the company. In addition, the equipped troop carriers were also sufficient. Any infantry division did not need the cooperation of any logistics troops. It could be fully motorized at the division level.

This means that the cost of a large infantry division organized by the alliance reached 886,000 tax coins. 25 divisions, that is, more than 20 million tax coins.

Hans looked at this new army group, and could only pinch his nose, and then say that it smelled good.

Although this army group was a pure infantry and artillery unit and lacked armored forces, it was also stronger than other infantry armies in his legion.

The remaining two million people were dispersed and added to the understaffed armies, divisions, and regiments in his legion.

So far, what else was Hans dissatisfied with?

Three million real high-quality soldiers, a real army group with full staffing, full equipment, and no discounts in the middle. He had never even experienced such treatment in the past.

He even hesitated to call Governor Gu and vaguely mentioned that would it be… not good to do this?

Brother, when you were supplying and replenishing the Star Army, did you really not make any money at all?

You diluted the personnel, and these three million people were matched with three million people whose training was not up to standard; you also diluted the equipment and falsely reported some numbers.

These three million people are not a matter of 50 million tax coins. Why don’t you report 100 million tax coins to the Ministry of Military Affairs?

Although the Ministry of Military Affairs will not really give the money, the debt will allow your alliance to not pay taxes for four years.

How can you be so honest?

In response, Gu Hang’s answer was:

“Lieutenant General Hans, I must seriously criticize you. How can you have such disloyal thoughts?”

“I treat your legion as my own troops.”

“You are fighting on my planet, so of course I have to give you unconditional support.”

After listening, Hans was so ashamed that he was too embarrassed to complain more when he led the team to leave Mingyan City and go to the other two nests.

…

The situation in Mingyan City is certainly not completely stable.

In the past two days, more than a dozen vicious incidents have been reported, including looting supplies, destroying construction sites, and attacking surrendered people…

It still takes time to win the trust of the people and disintegrate the evil forces. It is not the case that once a policy is promulgated and implemented, everything will be resolved immediately.

Although the establishment of the administrative system and the organization of labor production are in full swing and generally considered to be smooth, in fact, this is all based on the previous effective military control.

Now the military control is still in place, and malicious incidents will still occur occasionally; once the military control is lifted, the police and security forces have not yet been established, and the administrative system and economic system that have just started to improve will probably become difficult to move forward.

Gu Hang did not intend to end the military control.

Twenty million Salvation Army soldiers still stayed in Mingyan City to perform control tasks; at the same time, the size of the Salvation Army had to be further expanded, on the one hand to absorb the employed population, on the other hand to expand the army itself was Gu Hang’s request.

However, since the situation was improving, there was no need to keep so many troops.

The Star Army withdrew and, along with some administrative personnel, began to go to the two surrounding nest cities.

The two nest cities were estimated to have a population of about one billion and were about 1,500 kilometers away from Mingyan City.

Each of them has several million local defense forces responsible for suppressing the local area. The planetary government asked each hive to carry out the order of clearing the bottom and lower hives, but the effect was not obvious.

Although the remaining 38 hives were stationed by officials from the Alliance, on average only a few dozen people went into each hive. It is difficult to take over the government power. Those old-timers of local forces are not vegetarians.

In fact, the task given to them by Gu Hang was not to take over the city.

If you can’t do it, just slow down and don’t rush. Even at this stage, Korojia’s original administrative system was still running under Gu Hang’s instruction, which was equivalent to reaching a considerable degree of compromise with the dignitaries of other hives.

Let the hives run first, and let the Alliance government, which is still under the name of the planetary government, issue some decrees to these hives, that’s it.

As for the spring breeze of reform, there is no rush to blow to the world.

Gu Hang must first set a good example in Mingyan City and train enough administrative personnel.

But there is one thing that must be controlled right now.

Military power.

Gu Hang doesn’t believe that those dignitaries will rebel directly, at least not before his butcher knife really falls on their heads.

The dignitaries are different from the rebels and gangs in the bottom nest area and the lower nest area. Their wealth and power are inseparable from the official system.

But no one can say for sure about such things.

What Gu Hang wants is to ensure that even if these people are really desperate, they are not to be feared.

Military power is the top priority.

And in this matter, Gu Hang has been prepared.

Korojia’s planetary defense force reached 150 million people at its peak. Even after a war, tens of millions of people were reorganized into the Salvation Army, and now there are still 130 million people. These troops are scattered in major hives and are the main force stationed to suppress the local area.

Instead, these troops also have inextricable ties with the dignitaries in their respective hives, at least closer than Gu Hang, the foreign governor.

In order to solve this problem, Gu Hang had laid the groundwork as early as the end of the previous war.

When the planetary defense forces were transferred back, they were transferred to places that did not belong to their original bases. In addition, the troops between the various hives also underwent a major rotation.

At the time, it did not cause a particularly big reaction.

First, when the world was in danger of destruction, those dignitaries had no intention of resisting, and they were thinking about saving their lives at the time.

Secondly, Gu Hang made such a decision as the commander-in-chief of the war zone, and those local dignitaries had no ability to resist.

Thirdly, in order to prevent the dignitaries from colluding with the army, Korojia had a tradition of rotating the army in different places, which would be done every few years.

This wave of Gu Hang’s was not uncommon.

After the rotation, even if those local dignitaries wanted to reconnect with the army, it would take time.

The most important goal of the working group sent by Gu Hang to each hive is to control the army before those local dignitaries connect with the army.

And they have some innate advantages.

The Angry Bear Legion and the Salvation Army will each allocate a part of their troops to go with them to other hives, which can be regarded as a force to calm the situation.

Moreover, when the local defense forces gathered for the last war, Gu Hang had deliberately placed some of his own people in them and also won over some of his own people. These people will also help each working group to control the troops.

In general, it is certainly not easy to do it, but it is still feasible.

Because these working groups have two most important weapons in their hands:

the Dragon Eagle Legion led by Lieutenant General Hans will not stay in a hive for too long and will no longer implement strict military control like in Mingyan City. What he has to do is to take the troops and “tour” throughout the planet to calm the situation for the alliance officials stationed in each hive and help them control the troops.

In addition, the logistics supply, personnel appointments, and officer promotions of the planetary defense forces in each hive are still in the hands of the new government.

Make good use of these conditions, be cautious, do things seriously, and with the righteousness in hand, it should not be a big problem to control the army.

As for when to push the reforms in Mingyan City to all the hives… we have to wait until the reforms in Mingyan City begin to bear fruit.

If this is done well, and the Salvation Army under Gu Hang expands to a stronger level, it can implement martial law in all the hives around the world. That’s when global reforms will be carried out.

At that time, all opposition forces on the planet will be paper tigers.

The upper class will see the example of Mingyan City. Those who cooperate with the new government can be integrated into the new government, obtain high ranks, and retain their identities and status. It is inevitable that their treatment will decline, but in general, they will still be in high positions and have great power. It’s just that you have to change your mentality, accept the rules of the alliance, and work in the way of the alliance. Those

who don’t cooperate and sabotage in secret will suffer the most severe iron fist.

…

So far, Gu Hang has been relatively free.

In fact, the government still has a lot of work and it’s very heavy. But it’s obvious that Gu Hang can’t rule the alliance with an extremely large population by himself. More of his work is still in the design of the general direction and system architecture. The specific work will be carried out by the government. Multi-level government agencies and millions, even tens of millions, of civil servants are responsible for executing his will.

Ossena has submitted a timetable to Gu Hang.

The first milestone for the successful reform of Mingyan City is to get rid of Mingyan City’s dependence on aid from Angry Owl Star and Black Arrow Star within a year, and to be able to export resources.

Of course, this dependence refers to aid dependence, and normal trade is not included. Korojia’s food demand is very huge. Even if recycling technology and synthetic starch technology are used on a large scale, it is still not enough.

Synthetic starch also needs raw materials.

Normal imports are one aspect, mainly in addition to imports, Mingyan City can solve part of its food needs by itself-for example, using soilless farm technology. Moreover, the value of the industrial products produced can be equivalent to the daily necessities consumption of four billion people.

As long as this is achieved, it will be considered a successful reform.

The next thing is to continue to improve productivity, continue to improve people’s living standards, and export resources to help other nests reform.

Mingyan City directly exports various resources needed for reform, which obviously means that the entire Korojia will be on the right track designed by Gu Hang.
