Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 446

Chapter 445: The Alliance is madly sucking blood

. Temir 5 has a tendency to become a meat grinder for a long time.

That is a terrible thing.

Billions of lives will continue to die one by one on this planet. With the current intensity of the war, perhaps dozens or even dozens of people die in the war every second.

The ammunition consumed every day, converted into money, is an astronomical figure.

However, for the survival of the species, these sacrifices and wealth have to be spent.

In fact, Gu Hang also has a realization: the scope of this greenskin war is too large and the intensity is too high.

Even if it is a victory, for example, on Jindi Star, the emperor descended from the sky and killed all the main greenskin forces of Titus, then the follow-up things are actually not simple.

It is estimated that hundreds of billions of greenskins swarmed out of the territory of the Greenskin Empire and swept everywhere. Which of the harassed planets does not have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of greenskins?

To kill all these greenskins one by one in the entire star field and destroy the ecosystem they left behind is a long-term thing, and it is normal to spend decades.

War is bound to be long-term.

In fact, this is the norm of the entire star sea.

War is always going on. When there is no war, like the years before the start of the Orc War, the Alliance has a few years of peace, which is a scarce commodity in this universe.

And since war is bound to be long-term and normalized, the Alliance must learn to seek development in war.

Here, Gu Hang will have two directions of effort, which are still divided into internal and external.

Internally, the development of the Alliance must of course lean towards war. The manpower of the Alliance must first meet the manpower needs of the army, and secondly, it must meet the production needs of various military materials, logistics supplies, and various equipment.

But these manpower and resources consumed for war are obviously not development.

This is pure consumption.

If the war is so fierce that the entire society must put every bit of manpower and resources on things related to the war, then forget about anything. What development is there when life and death are at stake?

Work to the death, or you will die.

But obviously the war is not going to this extent.

If Titus’s absolute main force does not come back, the alliance still has some spare strength; if Titus’s absolute main force comes back, even if the alliance prepares for the war with all its strength, it will not be able to win.

Then do it normally.

In addition to the things needed for the war, social production cannot stagnate under the third-level mobilization order.

All kinds of heavy industries that produce new means of production and various raw material industries are increasing their investment.

Agricultural production is also increasing its investment.

Under the third-level mobilization order, the economic development actually still maintains a relatively high number, but most of the development has been swallowed up by reinvestment and war, leaving more than 60 billion residents in the Tianma star area for the part of improving their living standards. The part has been greatly reduced, but at least there is still a little bit.

This is also the indicator when Gu Hang formulated the third-level mobilization order: normal, or even more stimulated, high-speed economic development; a small amount of investment in people’s livelihood.

If it reaches the second-level mobilization order, the people’s living standards will not be improved, but will decline; and the improvement of productivity will probably be affected to a certain extent. Infrastructure construction has almost completely stopped. The construction of new factories will continue, but it will be fully turned to the construction of military factories; everything will be further oriented to the production of various military weapons and equipment.

Once the first-level mobilization order is raised, not only will a large number of people have to serve in the army, but more importantly, all conventional economic activities will stagnate, the people’s living standards will be greatly reduced, and society will no longer develop. Most civilian factories will be converted to military use, and the entire society will serve the war, and all productivity will be used to produce more war materials.

Under this definition, Gu Hang does not want the alliance to sound the first-level mobilization order one day.

That means that the development of the entire society will stagnate, the development process of the alliance will be interrupted, and even the development potential will be overdrawn.

It is still emphasized that when it is really fatal, the first-level mobilization order should be sounded.

But as long as it does not reach that point, the mobilization order can be raised, so it will not be raised.

Under the third-level mobilization order, the society’s economic development is still fast. People’s livelihood does not say how much it will increase, but at least it will not fall, that’s enough.

This is to seek development as much as possible on the basis and premise of dealing with the war, and it is also Gu Hang’s request to the alliance government.

It is a bottom-line option.

And if you really want to develop in the war first, you still have to rely on another aspect: external.

As long as the war is won, you will always win something. Whether it is the space for development, the wealth obtained by plunder, or the new territory and population brought by expansion, these are all places to make a fortune.

And now, what is Gu Hang’s biggest gain in this war?

Of course, it is the entire Seven Horses.

The six surrounding star regions that signed the Seven Horses Agreement have become the de facto vassal of the alliance.

The latest imperial tax collection is also the first time that the alliance “helps” the empire to collect taxes.

After they signed the agreement, the tax collection work began.

The planetary governors all have opinions on this.

Isn’t it collected every two years?

It’s been less than a year since the last time we paid the imperial tax. The longest time we signed the Seven Horses Agreement was only half a year, and the shortest was just signed for one or two months.

You are going to collect imperial taxes now?

The alliance also has something to say.

During the war, the taxation changed from once every two years to once a year. Is it reasonable?

I didn’t adjust your tax amount! It’s the amount that should be collected. It’s just an extraordinary period, so I only collect it once a year.

Under the might of the alliance, these planets finally had no choice but to accept it.

The six star regions, with a total population of more than 110 billion, did collect nearly 12 billion tax coins through taxation. In Ye Lixia’s fleet, most of the fleet of Gu’s Trading Company, as well as some small Imperial Chamber of Commerce ships recruited in these star regions, are working hard to help the alliance transport these resources.

These resources have their own uses. Some are directly packaged and sent to the front line; most of them are transported back to various worlds in the Tianma Star Region as raw materials, as subsequent processed products, used to produce more war materials, or simply used to distribute resources to the workers in the Tianma Star Region, instead of the benefits, allowances and salaries that were originally to be distributed, saving the alliance money, which can be further used for development.

In addition to the 12 billion imperial taxes, there are also 1 billion tax coins for additional war taxes, and a large number of planetary defense forces, which are not treated as human taxes, and are also recruited as “Allied Forces”. Some are simply used as soldiers to supplement the Alliance Army.

The income of 13 billion tax coins is almost equal to the annual income of the Alliance in the past.

The more than 60 billion people in the Pegasus Star Region pay the imperial taxes every year, and the remaining fiscal revenue for the Alliance is only 13.8 billion.

Now, there are three major parts: the 11.3 billion imperial taxes that the Alliance should have paid do not need to be paid, and can be used by itself; the original 13.8 billion fiscal revenue; the 13 billion revenue brought by the Seven Horses Agreement.

A total of 38.1 billion, this is the wealth that the Alliance can use every year after the war begins.

This is a huge sum of money!

If measured by the price of ships, it is 22 “Mad Shark” destroyers; 5 “Musician” cruisers, and there is still plenty; even if it is to buy battleships, if it cannot afford it in one year, it can buy one in two years.

Of course, there is nowhere to buy it now. Moreover, it is not that this money has no place to be spent.

In fact, the Alliance has many places to spend money now.

The fierce war on the front line, just on Temir 5, the Alliance will spend 500 million a month, and this is when the native planet bears a considerable part of the war consumption.

Not to mention, there are still a large number of Alliance troops in the Mist Horse and Eagle Horse sectors, continuously clearing out the local greenskin invasion. Although the intensity is not comparable to the main battlefield of Temir 5, the number is large!

Moreover, the “Allied Army” is much larger than the Alliance Army. Although in theory the war costs are borne by the planets that send troops, these planets may not be able to afford the money, nor may they be able to pay in time – this is really a problem of ability – the Alliance cannot really ignore it.

Everything costs money.

The navy is also a huge bottomless pit.

Not to mention, the Alliance is still continuously building new ships and expanding new legions.

The military expenditure for a year exceeds 17 billion.

If it were not for not having to pay imperial taxes, the Alliance would not be able to bear such expenses on its own finances.

Now, the Alliance can not only bear the expenses, but also have a surplus of 20 billion. And this money, expanding military industry, reinvesting in production, infrastructure on the nine planets of Pegasus… all started, even more prosperous than before the war began.

The economic production growth index, which was originally not required of Osena, was completed under this huge additional wealth investment.

It was even completed far beyond expectations.

10%? Definitely exceeded!

The financial settlement of the alliance next year is estimated to be more than 16 billion, which is a clear increase compared to the 13.8 billion before the war!

Gu Hang certainly did not deny that the development of the alliance was based on the bloodsucking of the six surrounding horse lands.

However, they were also going to be sucked, and even the Pegasus star region itself was going to be sucked. In the past, they were sucked by the empire. Now, in a special period, the empire can no longer suck, and how many years has it not been allowed to suck the alliance?

It feels so good to suck.

In addition to “vassals”, the benefits that the alliance has gained from the war include direct “trophies”.

Fighting the greenskins itself has no benefits. Even if the weapons, equipment and ships of the greenskins are seized, humans cannot use them or use them well.

There will be no greenskin prisoners, and don’t expect them to work or be workers if they are forcibly captured.

However, the alliance still has something to gain in the Temir galaxy in the Jinguan Star Region.

That is population.

During this period, the alliance has transferred more than 300 million people from Temir 4 and 5. Isn’t this also 1.5 billion?

What’s more, Gu Hang never regards the value of a person as 5 yuan.

The value that a person can create in his lifetime is much higher than this number.

These people are still on Steel Wing Star, and are currently working for the repair of military buildings and the construction of orbital gun fortresses on Steel Wing Star.

Later, when the transportation capacity is improved, or the pressure on the front line is reduced and some transportation capacity can be freed up, these people and the population that will be transferred in the future will only stay in Steel Wing Star as a small part of the population supplement of this planet, and most of them will migrate to the Tianma Star Region and fill in various worlds.

300 million people are just the beginning.

Temir 4, 5, and other worlds that may further reach the Jinguan Star Region in the future are not suitable for too many civilians to survive.

These people will be transferred to the Tianma Star Region as much as possible.

The population carrying capacity of Koroja has reached the upper limit, or even far exceeded it; but the population carrying capacity of Wrathful Owl Star still has room, and so do the three stars of Red Arrow Star and Fache.

At least before the population is expanded to 80 billion, the Pegasus Star Region will not be too crowded.

If it really doesn’t work, it can be resettled in other star regions of the Seven Horses.

In addition to finance, the bulk of economic production growth is reflected in the military industry. New docks have been completed in the star ports of Winged Star and Wrathful Owl Star; the production lines of Titan, Knight Mech, Feedback Power Armor, LR and HS series rifles, Lion, and Lion King are all stepping up to expand production capacity.

In the future, there will be more ships and more and better army equipment to be produced.

Not to mention, this is just an economic and financial account, and the grace points have not been calculated.

High-speed economic development will bring about an increase in monthly grace points.

Now, the income provided by the Alliance’s homeland has reached 36,000/month, an increase of 12.5% compared to before the war.

The monthly gift income growth is not a linear growth. It is not that if one person gives one point, ten people will get ten points. Gu Hang has been

here for so long that he has roughly figured out that this should be a model of growth according to some milestones. When a growth indicator is reached, a few points will be increased. It will not expand infinitely. This is a pity for Gu Hang. Otherwise, according to the calculation when he just landed in the early years, a few thousand people could give dozens of points of gifts; now that he actually controls 60 billion people, he must be given hundreds of millions of points of gifts a month?

But even if he doesn’t dream about this, there is another thing that Gu Hang didn’t expect.

After the signing of the Seven Horses Agreement, the other six horse lands and 79 worlds were all counted by the system.

He originally thought that the stingy system would not count for him!

Of course, it is impossible to count all the more than 110 billion people in these 79 worlds as his homeland.

It was not the homeland in the first place.

It’s just that when Gu Hang beat up the Black Arrow Star that year, the [Vassal] panel activated by the system played a role again.

79 worlds were counted as his vassals, and most of the vassal levels were around LV2.

This level means that there is a high tendency to secede and a certain degree of social unrest.

A few can reach LV3, which means they are stable vassals. There are also a few who have reached LV1, which means that separatism is extremely stubborn.

Gu Hang was not surprised by this.

It was too normal. They were vassals that were not obtained through normal means. It was not surprising that they were internally unstable and that the governors or local forces on the planet wanted to secede.

He could accept LV2, as long as there was not a large area of LV1, and the cost of suppression would be relatively high.

As for the gift points provided by these vassals, there were not many, mainly because the gift points provided by vassals would naturally be greatly discounted.

But when added up, it was quite considerable, reaching 4,000 points per month.

This was more or less a supplement to Gu Hang’s gift point income.

And another big part of the gift points was victory in the war.

However, since the end of the Battle of Steel Wing Star, the small fights on the planets of Eagle Horse and Mist Horse did not give much.

And the current battle of Temir, although it was fought on a large scale, has not yet resulted, and the system has not yet settled.

But it is conceivable that as long as we win, we will not lose anything.
