Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 429

Chapter 428, Invest in People

500,000 gift points in people has brought an annual output value of 10 billion, and in theory, this increase is permanent.

Of course, if the social environment of the corresponding planets is in turmoil, or there is large-scale corruption and institutional rigidity, then there is still a possibility of a reduction in production. But that is not a problem of exchange options, but a problem with Gu Hang’s rule.

What needs to be solved should be solved.

The other 500,000 points of gift in his hand have more complicated uses.

Spending 200,000 on military training will bring 20 million qualified soldiers.

Now the army of the alliance is no longer just relying on his soldier card training system to train soldiers. A considerable number of qualified soldiers are soldiers who have been trained under the qualified training mechanism that the Alliance Army has established in the past few years.

But that time is still relatively long. In order to ensure the combat capability of the corresponding troops, Gu Hang still needs to supplement some qualified T5-level soldiers through the training of the soldier card system, and raise the proportion of standard soldiers of the Star Army in some corresponding troops to 70% or even more than 80%.

The newly trained 20 million soldiers will not be used to form a new organization number. They are all in the recruit training centers on various planets in the Tianma Star Region. They will be sent to various troops, especially the front-line troops, to supplement the corresponding teams.

Now, among the troops of the Alliance Army, some division-level units that were beaten badly in the war have been withdrawn for rest. These troops will be given priority to replenish troops.

Of course, in order to ensure that the front-line troops have sufficient combat troops, for every division withdrawn, the Alliance will send out a division to supplement the corresponding army group.

At present, the total number of the Alliance Army has reached more than 400 million, at least the organization is such an organization.

It includes 18 army groups, each of which is composed of 20 army groups, with a total of 22 million people.

A single army group has about one million people, composed of 25 divisions and brigades.

But in general, the scale of the army group and the army group is not the same. Some army groups have fewer armies, while others have more. The number of divisions and brigades under each army is also uncertain. During the war, some divisions and brigades will be temporarily transferred to where they are needed.

In contrast, the organization below the division and brigade is fixed.

The current situation of the alliance’s division and brigade units is already quite complicated, but generally speaking, the most common are three types of organization:

the largest is the large infantry division, which is generally about 44,000 people and consists of 12 infantry regiments. This is the main force of the division’s front-line combat force; the 8 artillery battalions attached to the back have 400 heavy artillery pieces, and the infantry regiment also has its own artillery support company, all equipped with self-propelled artillery.

A division has 600 self-propelled artillery pieces.

Those small mortars, rocket launchers, heavy explosive bombs, heavy plasma guns, hot melt bomb projectors and the like are not included. These weapons are generally distributed to the company and battalion level. In

addition, there is an air force squadron consisting of at least 60 wind falcons.

This kind of large infantry division is the well-deserved main force and backbone of the alliance. It is the shield and hammer of the alliance. They are outstanding in terms of number of people and firepower. They are relied on to fight offensive and defensive battles. Once the trenches are dug and the fortifications are built, any enemy who wants to break in will have to be bombarded by the heavy artillery of the alliance before they have a chance.

The total cost of such a division reached 1.3 million tax coins.

The second common brigade-level unit is the heavy armored combined brigade. 8 heavy armored combined battalions plus three tank battalions are the main force. Not to mention the large number of armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, the most important main force is 320 lion tanks, 9 lion king tanks, and 60 wind falcon fighters.

Although there are only about 12,500 people in number, the huge armored force makes such a heavy armored combined brigade almost indestructible on the battlefield!

And the cost of such a division has also soared to nearly 5 million tax coins.

The smallest number is the “Skeleton Division”. Such a division can actually be basically understood as a combination of an infantry division and an armored division. The total number of troops exceeds 60,000, with more powerful firepower and stronger armor. It mainly undertakes the most important combat mission of an army group in a certain aspect.

What is different from normal divisions and brigades is that a considerable proportion of their soldiers are T4 level; their infantry equipment will also be innovated into a large proportion of laser guns and electromagnetic rifles. The number of various high-level weapons such as explosive bombs, plasma, and hot melt will be much higher in the hands of infantry than in ordinary troops.

And the cost of such a division will further soar to 9 million tax coins.

As for the four elite special units, the 1st Wind-extinguishing Brigade, the 2nd Beast-killing Division, the 10th Special Operations Brigade, and the 31st Ace Airborne Division, it is even more difficult to calculate. The equipment and personnel configuration are different from other division-level units.

This is the current composition of the Alliance Army.

There are numbers and frontal firepower, supported by numerous large infantry divisions; there are armor and offensive capabilities, supported by heavy brigades.

The Skeleton Division will be used in key battles. This is an elite force. If you compare it with any elite unit of a reputable high-level Star Army Corps, it will not be inferior in terms of equipment or training.

Unfortunately, the Alliance is still not rich enough. Elite units like the “Skeleton Division” cannot even be guaranteed to exist in every army group, and even each army group only has one or two.

But despite this, the Alliance Army is still Gu Hang’s pride and the trump card that has enabled the Alliance to stand firm to this day.

Even though the Alliance has invested huge manpower and material resources, the most important resources and the most funds have been invested in naval construction, hoping to catch up and overtake. But for now, the Army is still the foundation of the Alliance.

The large infantry division can ensure that the position is not lost when facing the same number of greenskins; with a heavy-armored combined brigade, it can break through two or even three times the number of greenskin positions; facing the elite greenskins with heavy equipment, the Alliance also has enough firepower and armor to fight.

These are all extremely rare.

Gu Hang could even say with confidence that there was no other human ground force in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region that could compare with the Alliance Army.

Not even the Dragon Eagle Legion. The Dragon Eagle Legion had a total of thirteen legions with a total of over one billion people, which was much more than the Alliance Army, but in terms of equipment and overall training level, it was definitely inferior.

As long as the Alliance caught up in terms of naval power, or at least didn’t lag behind, the strength of the Alliance Army would be able to play a major role in the cosmic battlefield.

This “not dragging its feet” meant that the navy didn’t have to win the naval battle, as long as it could ensure that the troops could be deployed normally and that the enemy couldn’t wantonly carry out orbital bombing on its own army, that was enough.

This requirement was much simpler than gaining control of space.

As long as this low standard was met, the Alliance’s combat effectiveness could be multiplied.

After all, in this cold universe, the void itself has no value. The most important value is on the many planets.

…

In addition to the 200,000 grace points for army construction, Gu Hang also invested 150,000 grace points in talent development.

Here, it is used in a rather complicated way.

The further construction of the academy cost a sum of grace points. The education industry of Feiyi Star is already relatively developed, but the alliance cannot really rely on Feiyi Star to complete all the education work. In Angry Owl Star, in Koroja, in Faches… the construction of corresponding academies must also be put on the agenda.

There is also enough training for civilian officials.

Especially after entering the war period, the alliance launched a level three mobilization order. Under this mobilization scale, large-scale social unrest is not going to happen, and the entire order is maintained very well, or even stronger.

However, maintaining a stronger social order requires more government ruling costs. At the same time, under the mobilization order, civilian production is not frustrated, but at least the growth has slowed down significantly, which will cause the people’s regular consumption and living standards to stagnate. This problem also requires stronger government control and propaganda to suppress it.

Gu Hang is very wary of the emergence of systematic corruption in the alliance without his awareness. The more critical the time is, the more you have to be careful of pervasive corruption.

At his request, on the one hand, the government system should conduct self-examination and self-correction to ensure that there is no such thing as “the system forces people to be corrupt”, “doing the wrong things for the sake of superior indicators and performance”, “ensuring the consistency of core goals and specific policies”, “ensuring the consistency of goals among the government, officials, and the public”…

In general, an excellent system makes people do good things; a bad system forces people to do bad things.

These have put forward higher management requirements for the alliance government, which must be vigilant and adjusted at all times, and needs to rely on continuous institutional reforms to maintain the vitality of the system.

But all reforms and internal adjustments require people to implement them.

In terms of personnel quality, the conventional education system is of course the most important aspect. However, through Zhongsi College, directly training the loyalty of key personnel in key positions is a guarantee of the lower limit.

Let’s not talk about whether there is a problem with the system. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that there is no problem with the people who reform the system and implement the system. Without the latter, the former is out of the question.

In addition to the educational foundation and civil servant training, Gu Hang has another investment in personnel, which is placed on the special front.

The alliance’s demand for intelligence has become increasingly heavy as its size expands.

The legal center system under the jurisdiction of Chief Justice Lambert exists independently of the Alliance government. Under him, the General Police Department, the General Security Department, and the General Integrity Department are all agencies with internal intelligence functions, but there are certain differences in their functions.

The police department is responsible for civilian cases, mainly for public security and stability maintenance; the General Integrity Department is responsible for anti-corruption work among government officials and state-owned enterprises; the Alliance General Security Department is responsible for counter-espionage, anti-subversion, and supervision and combating insurgents.

Needless to say, the first two, the General Security Department has always had a low presence within the Alliance, but in fact, there are still many actions in secret.

The Alliance’s society has always been very stable. This is not only because after the Alliance gained control of the entire Pegasus Star Region, the people’s living standards have not decreased but increased, and various local forces have either been tied to the Alliance’s chariot, or have been beaten to ashes by the iron fist.

But it will not be completely clean.

There are always some remnants. For example, the royalists in the old kingdoms of Black Arrow Star, the remaining old gangs of Koroja, the old bureaucrats, the remnants of the Fache family, the old business owners who were nationalized on Wing Star… and their sympathizers and supporters, have always existed.

Some of them were beaten by the iron fist, but not completely; some pretended to get on the car of the Alliance and secretly supported the remnants.

These guys certainly dare not jump out and act in public.

If they jump out, they will die. Under the strong, unified and strict rule of the Alliance, under the powerful military force and the general trust of the people, direct rebellion and confrontation are like eggs hitting stones.

However, this does not mean that the hatred and will to resist in their hearts will be completely lost.

Rumors, incitement, strikes, privately making weapons to incite the people to riot, packaging individual tragic cases of individuals (this is inevitable in a society of 60 billion people) as the fault of the Alliance’s rule and privately promoting…

Such gutter methods have never been cut off.

The main work of the General Security Bureau over the years has been to fight against this thing.

As for the internal intelligence organizations, there is the Military Security Bureau under the Military Affairs Center led by Thadius, which is also for counter-espionage and counter-riots, but is more military-oriented; there is also the Military Police Headquarters, which is led by the Military Police Political Commissar and is responsible for internal military discipline;

the government agencies also have the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for self-examination and self-correction on the government side and the elimination of traitors.

In total, there are three departments in the Legal Affairs Center, two in the Military Affairs Center, and one in the government, a total of six departments with clear internal supervision and management responsibilities. Their powers have different focuses, but they overlap and can supervise each other.

All these institutions need special personnel with investigation and special service skills, that is, special agent talents.

In addition to the internal intelligence organizations, there are also the Foreign Intelligence Bureau under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Military Intelligence Department of the Military Affairs Department, and the Central Investigation Bureau of the Legal Affairs Center, which are the three major external intelligence organizations.

In fact, the military aspect is not bad, whether it is within the team or outside, the current transfer of political commissars and special forces from various troops as force guarantees is basically enough.

However, non-military intelligence agents still need to be trained, and the alliance has a large gap in personnel in this regard.

The first thing about these personnel is loyalty, which is mainly solved by the training of Zhongsi Academy and the direct training of one person with Gu Hang’s 10 points of grace. However, the training of skills and techniques depends heavily on the training of the alliance itself, and Gu Hang’s current troop exchange options do not have such things.

But fortunately, this kind of “job” is more about quality than quantity.

Gu Hang cannot provide a bottom line for the intelligence personnel of the alliance, whether internal or external, in terms of ability, but he has a means to improve it: hero activation.

At present, with a population of more than 60 billion in the alliance, there are already tens of millions of people with hero potential who can be activated. Gu Hang cannot activate all of these people, but he can activate them in a targeted manner.

For example, if the efficiency of the shipyard needs to be improved, Gu Hang can screen all the shipyard engineers, see how many potential heroes can be activated, and selectively activate some of them; the same is true for special agent talents.

Although, it is possible that although this person is currently an agent, his greatest potential is not here. However, the probability of this happening is not high. Those who can become agents under the strict recruitment, training, and assessment of the eight major departments are likely to have special expertise in this area.

If you really get it wrong, then so be it. Anyway, it is not expensive to activate a potential hero with 10 points of grace. The expensive part is the subsequent upgrade, but they can also accumulate experience and upgrade slowly by themselves.

In short, Gu Hang spent a total of 200,000 points of grace on the construction of the academy, the activation of agents and ship engineers.

He used the remaining 100,000 to draw a 100,000-level technology.
