Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 393
Chapter 392: Head of Gu
“What is the Tianma Star Region? Why not just call it Guhang Star Region?”
A month and a half later, Martinelli returned to Yunluo Star and brought what Little Pedesi said to Xu Dechen.
The Chief of the Legal Department of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, the third most important person in the entire star region, sighed.
He said to Martinelli, “What do you want to do?”
“General, can you stop him from being the head of Tianma? At the same time, we must also stop Lao Yisi’s people from getting this position. The status of the Tianma star region is very important. If Gu Hang gets it, and he is Lao Yisi’s man, it will be very unfavorable for us in the future.”
“But how to do it?” Xu Dechen asked back, “Power can be top-down or bottom-up. You went to the Tianma star region to serve as the head. This is a top-down source of power. It is an appointment from the imperial system and the ruling power obtained by relying on the authority of the empire. But Gu Hang is different.”
Martinelli thought for a moment: “What you said is true… Gu Hang’s position as the head of the star region is bottom-up. He controls the actual ruling power of most planets and most people in the star region. For him, the position of the head of the star region is more of an afterthought than an appointment?”
“Yes, that’s what I mean. Now, he has the final say on the affairs of the Tianma star region. Without his nod, what can the head of the star region do? It is better to give him the position of the head of the star region.”
“But you also said that power can also be transferred from top to bottom. We can arrange a new sector leader to fight him in the Pegasus sector. We can use the power of the star region government to restrict him. His alliance has no clear imperial decree support, so we can find a way to slowly dismember it…”
Xu Dechen did not comment on this, but talked about another thing: “Did you know that Boggio Gallardo has been promoted to Executive Minister of the Imperial Central Military Affairs Department?”
Martinelli’s face was even a little horrified: “What? This… This is too fast, right? He just took the position of Deputy Minister. How long has he been in the position? How did he get promoted so quickly? “
Without responding to this question, Xu Dechen continued to add a few more sentences: “Solaria’s original chairman and vice chairman of the universe were dismissed, and a vice prime minister of the military department was transferred to the position of chairman of Solaria; our Eastern Universe Chairman Wang Suan, who is already 270 years old and will retire in two years, was transferred to the position of vice prime minister of the military department. When Gallardo was in Wuji Star, Zuo Zhaofeng, who was persuaded by him and helped him with all his strength, was directly promoted from the chief of the military department of the universe to the position of chairman of the universe.”
Martinelli continued to be shocked.
If they were talking about the changes in the political structure of the central government of the empire, it would still feel very far away and unreal. However, when it comes to the Eastern Universe, it is different. This is the superior government that directly governs the Dragon Eagle Star Region Government. Changes in the political structure of the Eastern Universe Government will directly affect the Dragon Eagle Star Region.
Xu Dechen has already said this, so of course he understands.
This series of personnel changes actually have a very clear meaning, which is to pave the way for Gallardo and his cronies to continue to rise.
The deputy prime minister who went to Solaria to be the chairman was probably planning to use Gallardo’s power to find a way to calm down that area of the universe, or at least to gather some forces loyal to the empire, which was also a great achievement. From one of the three deputy prime ministers of the Military Affairs Department to a chairman of the universe, from a central high-ranking official to a frontier official, it can be considered a horizontal transfer. More importantly, going to Solaria to be the chairman means there are tasks to do and merits to be gained. After this wave, who knows what he can achieve when he returns to the central government.
And for Wang Suan, an old man who was about to retire and saw that his political career could not go any further, being able to go to Holy Terra and the central government of the empire before retiring is a good way to retire. It satisfied the old man’s wish and also effectively improved his and his family’s political status in the empire. Of course, he also needs to return the favor, and his relatives, descendants, students and old officials will naturally become helpers.
The key is that Wang Suan will not do any specific work as the deputy prime minister, and the power he vacates will naturally be taken over by Gallardo, the executive minister; after one or two years, when the deputy prime minister resigns, the vacant position will naturally belong to Gallardo.
For many politicians, every step Gallardo takes is a threshold that they cannot cross in their lifetime. After he goes to Holy Terra, it is estimated that he will be promoted from deputy minister to deputy prime minister in three to five years. This speed is simply outrageous!
The person who has the greatest influence on the political situation in the Dragon Eagle Star Region is Zuo Zhaofeng. In this wave of transfers, he is actually the only one who has been promoted in public – and the promotion is very revolutionary. He was originally the director of the Military Affairs Department of the Cosmic Government, and his status was about the third or fourth in the Cosmic Government. He was promoted to the boss of the Eastern Cosmic Region.
He will not lose his position. The team that Lao Wang has left behind will help him, and Gallardo in Holy Terra will also help him. He will be able to take control of power smoothly, which is also the reward for his help to Gallardo. In the future, they will also be close political allies.
All this is implemented in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, and no one can ignore it: Gu Hang is a good friend of Gallardo, and his “alliance” was arranged for him by Gallardo.
Want to put pressure on Gu Hang’s alliance through the star region government? Want to dismember the alliance?
Dream on.
When the time comes, the newly-elected Chairman Zuo will dismember you in minutes – physically.
“Alas…” After figuring out the crux of the matter, Martinelli sighed deeply, “It can only be this way.”
“Do a good job in the Ministry of Justice, there will always be opportunities in the future. Is that Gu Hang necessarily hostile to us? There is no hatred that cannot be resolved. It is true that I have a competitive relationship with General Lao Yisi, but we don’t have to regard him as an enemy. What’s more, Lao Yisi can win over Gu Hang, so why can’t we?”
“That little Pedes…”
“He got the governor of Feiyi Star by relying on his brother. Pedes’ death is heartbreaking, but without his brother, he couldn’t have sat firmly on Feiyi Star.”
“What do you mean?” Martinelli felt a little incredible.
“Don’t you want to win over Gu Hang, at least so that everyone will not become enemies? Then Feiyi Star, which can’t be saved in the first place, is a very good gift, isn’t it?”
…
Gu Hang, who was regarded as a hot commodity, was struggling at the moment.
After the war, Gu Hang saw the settlement list of the end of the battle.
The number of grace points is not much, only more than 10,000 points, which is just his current fixed monthly income.
But this is roughly within his expectations.
Although the scale of the war is not small, the intensity, duration, and number of casualties are not large.
In addition, the two main forces participating in the war, the Pegasus Fleet and the Dragon Eagle Corps, have not been recognized by the system yet. They are both considered as “friendly forces” and their results do not provide benefits. If it
happens again, Gu Hang will not consume the military strength of his core forces for the sake of grace points, and consume the social stability of the three stars of Fache, which is destined to become his spoils. These two things are what Gu Hang would rather spend grace to exchange.
Gu Hang is not only a commander, he is also a ruler. Military serves politics, he understands this and practices it.
Because of this, after the military operations were basically over, his work became even busier.
Although some people flattered him before, saying that he was “comparable to the efficiency of the Sun Lord”, for Gu Hang, on the one hand, he respected and admired the great achievements of the Sun Lord. In the past few decades, he expanded the territory of the entire universe for the empire. No one can deny his great prestige.
But at the same time, his wild way of killing and burying, only expanding and not governing, is also something Gu Hang is not interested in.
Gu Hang manages all the places that were taken down as his base and base.
During the war, he tried his best to avoid using destructive means;
after the war, he also had to establish his ruling power and consider the development of the occupied territories.
On the three stars of Fachers, Gu Hang selected three “planetary governors”.
This is necessary. Each planet must have a governor, who is the person in charge registered in the empire.
Gu Hang served as the governor of the four worlds of Black Arrow, Wrath Owl, Koroga 1 and 3, but it was not easy to do on the three-star planet of Fache, and Gu Hang did not get this authority.
But this is not a big deal.
He chose Petrus Fache, Bobby Fache, and Ossena Chenko, who served as the governors of Fache 1/2/3 respectively.
The relevant recommendations have been reported, and have been unanimously approved by the administrative department and the legal department of the star domain government, and then the star domain head Tan Jiuyi also signed his name.
This matter is almost settled. Although the authority of the star domain government can only make them three temporary “acting governors”, the exact appointment must be passed to the universe domain government for approval, but under normal circumstances, the universe domain government is unlikely to refute it. What’s more, after Gu Hang communicated with his “friend” again, he understood a series of changes in the political arena of Wuji Star. Now, the Cosmic Domain Government is “one of our own”, so there is even less to worry about.
On the contrary, Gu Hang was originally worried about whether he would be blocked by the Star Region and Star Region Government. Although it is easy to solve, it is also annoying to be disgusted and cause trouble for him.
But it didn’t happen. Martinelli, the head of the Star Region, signed it readily before leaving office; Lao Yisi of the Administrative Department certainly didn’t have to worry, but Xu Dechen of the Legal Department was also so straightforward, which surprised Gu Hang.
He knew that the so-called “parliamentary faction” in the political arena of Yunluo Star refers to a group of political forces headed by Xu Dechen, the Minister of the Legal Department. Martinelli, Peddes, and Little Peddes are all considered to be in this faction.
Gu Hang didn’t have a good relationship with them, but he was not embarrassed.
He could realize that this was a step of goodwill from the other party.
Gu Hang also gladly accepted it.
Previously, there was a conflict of interests, but now the other party has made concessions and no longer hinders Gu Hang’s actual interests, and even provided some help, so Gu Hang naturally has no need to go against them.
Don’t hit a smiling person.
And then, someone sent another big gift.
Ivan Martinelli was transferred to the Star Domain Legal Department, and the vacant position of the head of the Tianma Star Region fell into Gu Hang’s hands.
During the call with Lao Yisi, the lady was still very surprised. She said that before she could make a proposal, it was Xu Dechen who made the proposal first. Of course, she would not refuse, and they jointly persuaded President Tan Jiuyi.
Although there is still a step to report, there will be no more twists and turns in this matter, and the exact appointment will be made soon.
After thanking him, Gu Hang immediately received another call request from Xu Dechen.
It was the first time for the two to communicate, and Xu Dechen was very enthusiastic and polite.
He came to take credit, and Gu Hang certainly understood it. The two chatted in a good tone for a while, and Xu Dechen also made it clear that if the three new governors applied to join the alliance, he would directly give the green light.
After saying these happy things, Xu Dechen did not forget to stab Lao Yisi secretly.
“General Lao Yisi originally had another person in mind for the candidate for the head of the Pegasus, and he thought that he could cooperate with you. I thought that it would be smoother for you to do it yourself instead of finding someone to cooperate with.”
“Thank you very much.”
Gu Hang smiled and chatted with the other party for a few more words, and hung up the call after saying goodbye in a friendly manner.
As for what he said about Lao Yisi, Gu Hang didn’t take it to heart.
It might be true, or it might be made up. Lao Yisi is not his biological mother, and she doesn’t do everything according to his wishes.
But Gu Hang didn’t really care.
It didn’t matter.
Turning around, he began to worry again.
These good news actually didn’t help him with the problems he was facing at the moment.
The three planetary governors were appointed by him, and they were basically puppets – Ossena was not a puppet. Her identity as the prime minister of the alliance was much more important than that of a planetary governor. She was just acting as a representative.
There was no doubt that the three governors would submit applications to join the alliance later, and the three planets would soon become members of the alliance.
However, the internal affairs of Samsung could not be solved by this.
Gu Hang found that the tried-and-tested methods he had used on Wrath of the Owl, Black Arrow, and Koroja failed on France Three Stars.
It was not easy for him to win the hearts of the people, and it was difficult for him to reform the system of the Alliance on France Three Stars.
In the past, Gu Hang encountered poor people and low productivity. However, the Alliance’s set of job levels, clear citizen benefits, clear promotion channels, and the nationalization of all means of production and production income… This combination of punches is very effective.
On the one hand, the treatment of the people has generally improved significantly compared to the past, and there is hope; on the other hand, the low productivity has been rapidly improved through centralized and planned construction.
As for the other series of political means, they are all playing tricks on this basis. To really make people’s lives better and more hopeful, and to improve productivity, this is the serious thing, and the rest are empty, which are all used by Gu Hang to maintain the system. As long as the former is guaranteed, no matter what the Alliance government does, it will be good.
But the situation in France Three Stars is completely different.
The development here is good, and the people are not poor.
If the Alliance’s job-level system is forced on, the job levels for the people will be too low to meet their past living standards, which will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among the residents of France Three Stars; if it is too high, the residents of Wrathful Owl, Black Arrow, and Koroja may be dissatisfied because they are “not worried about the lack of people but about the injustice”, and the cost to the Alliance will be very high.
