Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 392

Chapter 391, Just Call Gu Hang Star District

When the ground part of the star port was captured, this was another key node of the war.

In space, the resistance of the fortress star port became meaningless.

A space star port is different from a starship. It is not a completely independent facility. It needs supplies from the ground, and even part of its energy comes from the ground.

After the ground was captured, not only was the supply cut off, but even Cai Minjin’s troops could quickly and massively send the army to the star port through the space elevator and the orbital spacecraft seized from the ground part of the star port, and attack directly from the inside.

It is impossible to defend, there is no reinforcement, no supply, what is there to defend in this star port?

Not to mention that less than thirty hours ago, the marshal who was still in the fortress star port to boost morale and promised countless rewards was killed on the surface before he had time to fulfill anything…

This war can’t be fought!

After the surface part collapsed, a series of small rebellions and internal cleansing soon occurred inside the star port. The final result, of course, was that the surrender faction undoubtedly had the upper hand.

After they initially took control of the star port, they ceased fire and sent a communication request to the imperial flagship that was bombarding it. The temporary commander among them humbly surrendered unconditionally to Commander Gu, and under Gu Hang’s order, he turned off the void shield.

The order to turn off the shield made the garrison soldiers in the star port extremely uneasy. Gu Hang did not give them any guarantees. If Commander Gu wanted to at this moment, a round of concentrated fire from the Pegasus Fleet would be able to turn the fortress star port that had been so strong in the previous void naval battle into a space ruin.

If you give up your life, how can it be called unconditional surrender?

Fortunately, Gu Hang did not do so.

In Gu Hang’s eyes, this future is his own property, why destroy it?

An alliance force, in a landing craft, entered the fortress starport, took over all important facilities, disarmed all personnel, and suppressed some riots.

After the starport surrendered, the remaining armed space stations had no point in resisting. In the following dozens of minutes, they either surrendered or were destroyed.

So far, all the outer orbital defense facilities on Fachs 1 have been completely dismantled.

Although there are still a large number of anti-orbital fortress guns on the ground, a considerable number of them have never fired at all from the beginning; now, even fewer insist on firing, and they can’t resist the space fleet at all.

Even the Pegasus Fleet doesn’t need to continue to bombard these surface fortress guns.

Just make sure that there is no resistance around the landing site established in the capital area.

The Dragon Eagle Legion and the Alliance Army have been continuously deployed on the ground, and there are more than six million people one after another.

They are divided into several clusters and sweep across the entire continent.

Most places were settled by the order of the proclamation; only a few places had some fighting, but they were quickly suppressed by the Star Army and the Alliance Army, whose combat power far exceeded that of the Planetary Defense Force.

A week after the war began, the entire planet had completely changed hands.

A part of the Alliance troops were left as garrisons, and some administrative officials of the Alliance also entered the planet to supervise the Union Government. Their main task was to restore social order and resume production.

In general, the damage caused to the society of Fachs 1 by this war, which lasted for a week and ended, was not particularly great.

Not at all, that was impossible, this was a war.

But it did not last long, and the intensity was not high. The main forces of both sides of the war were mostly locals, and they deliberately avoided civilians and economic priorities during the war… These factors minimized the damage caused by the war.

It was not difficult to restore social order and production.

Even the Alliance army found a large amount of ready-made supplies in the major warehouses of the Union Government and the warehouses that specially transported the imperial taxes.

These things were even difficult to count in detail at the moment. But even if it is a rough estimate, the total value of 4 billion tax coins should be there, and all kinds of categories

are complete. Food, textiles, and various necessities of life are the most important; followed by some heavy industrial products, such as steel, alloys, some general mechanical components, and some vehicles; and some electronic components, paper products, chemical raw materials and products… are all supplementary categories.

In the military industry, there are also arms, mainly various types of ammunition, artillery shells, missiles, light weapons, armored transport vehicles and the like.

In addition, some “tax coins” were also looted – the physical objects of this thing are a series of certificates of excess tax payment that are engraved with the seal of the Imperial Tax Department, have special anti-counterfeiting methods, and are in duplicate. Their only practical use is that when the imperial tax officials arrive, they can be taken out and handed in to offset taxes. But precisely because this is a hard currency demand, various planets and major interstellar organizations also use it for transactions, acting as a transaction function.

The total value of these tax coins is also 1 billion.

There is no doubt that the coalition government has hoarded these industrial products in different categories and piled up a lot of tax coins. It is definitely not for their own use, but to prepare to pay the imperial tax.

The Fachers family undoubtedly understands that it is impossible to confront the empire. They have long been prepared to surrender, and all kinds of wealth have been prepared. They will eventually pay the imperial tax.

In fact, these things may be collected by them to prepare for this imperial tax, but because of the fines and the rebellion forced by the star district government, all the things are left here.

And now, all of these have fallen into Gu Hang’s hands.

Presumably, there will be similar wealth on the other two planets of Fachers.

This is quite cool, saving me from collecting it myself.

The jurisdiction of the war zone has been expanded to Fachers Three Stars, but Fachers Three Stars itself is not a war zone. Since Gu Hang wants to actually control these three planets, then Gu Hang will have to bear the taxes of these three planets.

This time, Fache didn’t pay, and they were finished; but the empire would not care so much, the tax amount must be enough. According to the increased development level, Fache three stars have to pay a total of 6 billion, and the star domain government will pay it all.

But the star domain government is not willing to pay it all. Before coming, in the various negotiations before this operation, this matter was also determined as one of the details.

The most recent tax season has been missed, so let’s not talk about it; in the next tax season two years later, Gu Hang needs to make up 66.6% of this time.

Two years later, for Fache three stars, Gu Hang will have to pay 10 billion tax coins.

Even for the 10 billion tax in these two years, Gu Hang can’t send troops to do it hard. If it is really broken, what will happen to the 10 billion in two years? Gu Hang has to make up with his own capital.

Although it can be made up-Korojia doesn’t have to pay taxes-but why bother?

He was a little worried at first.

The three Fachs were three civilized worlds with a population of about 3 billion. They had a complete range of industries and were highly developed. They could completely bear the tax themselves and even make a living as income for the alliance.

However, he had no place to find the supplement.

Unexpectedly, the Fachs United Government prepared it for him directly.

Gu Hang was satisfied and led the expeditionary force to leave Fache 1 and head to Fache 2.

…

Of course, Fache 2 and Fache 3 could not hold out for much longer.

In fact, they did not hold out at all.

After the news of what happened on Fache 1 spread, they surrendered quickly after the arrival of the Empire’s mighty fleet.

The capital of the United Government, Fache 1, which was more well-prepared than Fache 2 and Fache 3, was wiped out in a week, so what about them?

Moreover, from a legal point of view, Petters, who claimed to be the interim president of the United Government, is now legitimate – he is the eighth, and the previous seven are all dead.

Although it is a bit self-deceptive to say this, surrender is like this, and you have to find some reasonable reasons.

The most important reason is of course that the people who came are the Imperial Army and the Dragon Eagle Legion. They are not surrendering, but rectifying the chaos, and there is also an order from the current president of the United Government. Isn’t this as orthodox as it can be?

There was no naval battle. The troops took over the star port smoothly, and then directly came to the surface through the star port on a large scale, and obtained the command of the local defense forces of the two planets.

This entire counter-insurgency war has basically ended.

The 30 million army and the Pegasus fleet will not be withdrawn for the time being. They can also stay in the three-star of Fache for a period of time as an occupying force; personnel from the military and political departments of the alliance and the government departments have already invested a lot in the three-star.

Disband the army and gain control of the army; control the government and consider the disposal of the original coalition government… There is still a lot of follow-up political work, but for the war, it is already over.

A subordinate officer came to flatter him, saying that Governor Gu took action and put down the Fache “big” rebellion that made the star district government panic. It took less than seven days. One week, three planets, on average, it took less than two and a half days to conquer a world! The commander is worthy of being an imperial hero, and Governor Gu will definitely have a place in the future general star!

Flattery never wears out. Even Gu Hang would be happy to hear the flattery.

However, he still had to be modest: “Compared with the speed of the Solar Expedition to reach three planets in two days, there is still a gap.”

…

“His efficiency is almost as fast as the Solar Expedition! How is this possible?”

In the Pegasus Palace of Feiyi Star, little Pedes lost his composure again.

He found that as long as something was related to Gu Hang, he would be easily defeated.

Martinelli, who was sitting opposite him, stared at the battle report and said, “How can it be impossible? The battle report is here, with the Star Army, the Navy, and the “Declaration of Restoring Order” of the three planetary governments of Fache. Can this be false? Minnick and his son, as well as a group of people on the list released by the Star Domain Government, have their heads chopped off and sent to Yunluo Star.”

Little Pedes knew, of course, that this could not be false. However, he still felt that this matter was magical.

In his mind, the Fache family was a very stubborn and difficult opponent. They are local tyrants, they have a long tradition, they are strong, they are united…

Even his brother, the very skillful leader Pedes, could only suppress them after so many years of alliances.

In Gu Hang’s hands, the family was wiped out in seven days, or surrendered.

Why?

It’s not that he didn’t think that Gu Hang would succeed, but in his imagination, even if he succeeded, he would have to go through a bloody battle, pay a huge price, and fight with corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river to kill Fache, the stinky and stubborn local tyrant.

In the end, it was just that simple?

Originally, he felt that he had adjusted his mentality and barely believed that Gu Hang, the young boy, did have some skills; but now it seems that this skill is a bit too much.

Looking at the information on the battle report and the declaration of surrender of the coalition government, little Pedes gritted his teeth and said, “The Fachers family is simply a bunch of trash! They are spineless and they are doomed just like that! If we had known they were so weak, why did we cede so many interests to Gu Hang? I can do it with my Flying Wing Army! Anyway, as soon as the army arrives, they will surrender, and I…”

“Okay, stop talking.” Martinelli really didn’t want to listen to his stupid talk anymore, “You can do it with your Flying Wing Army? What are you dreaming about?”

“It looks simple, but in the entire Pegasus star region, only Gu Hang can do it.”

“You have planted a hidden card in the Fachers family. Can you guarantee that a group of senior officials and military generals will rebel when the war starts?”

“You have the help of Space Marines. Can you use a very small number of troops to kill Minnick in the Palace of the Times and control the central government’s offices?”

“Does your Flying Wing Army have the ability to compete with the Astra Militarum and the Alliance Army to fight a crushing battle?”

“Not to mention, do you have the ability to integrate the power of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and the Navy? For the sake of their patriarch Gu Hang, the Gu Company will send transport ships directly to the front line to deploy soldiers during the war; those arrogant naval masters will directly ram the fortress starport in the face and bombard it because of Gu Hang’s orders. Can you do it?”

“You only saw that as soon as Gu Hang arrived, Fats surrendered. How could you not see how much preparation he made behind this surrender?”

“I still say that: in the entire Tianma star region, only he can do it. If anyone else goes, let alone such an easy victory, even if it costs countless blood, he will return empty-handed in the end.”

After saying so much in one breath, Martinelli sighed.

He looked at the silent little Pedesi with a livid face, and felt a little sorry for him. He decided to give him one last warning:

“I have known your brother for many years and we are very good friends. I really don’t want you to end up in a bad situation in the future. But I can’t help you. You will have to face him alone in the future. You have to take care of yourself. Don’t go against him. Be honest.”

“…Ah?”

Little Pedesi panicked.

“What do you mean? What do you mean I have to face him alone in the future…what about you?”

“Although I haven’t been officially appointed yet, I’m going back to Yunluo Star. There is a position in the Ministry of Law that I will take. The new head of the star zone will be either Gu Hang himself or Lao Yisi’s confidant. In short, you should be prepared.”

“What? The head of the star zone is also him? Seven of the nine worlds are in his hands. He can still be the head of the star zone. What is the Tianma Star Zone?! Just call it the Gu Hang Star Zone!”
