Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 464

Chapter 463: Losers are war criminals, and only the weak are traitors

. Kazimierz Erso’s so-called “urging” was not just a thought.

He actually put it into action.

A squadron, carrying a company of space warriors, was on the way to the Seven Horses.

It was definitely impossible to go directly, because the greenskins blocked the way. To get to the Seven Horses, you have to go through a big circle.

In this sense, the two sides are not completely separated. After all, it cannot be said that the other two star regions in the south and the east are not the territories of the Empire.

But how are the star regions demarcated?

In the real universe, the physical distance between two different galaxies is very far. For human ships that can only travel at sub-light speed at most, they do not have the conditions for passage. They can only rely on the star tunnel to jump across the desperate astronomical distance of the physical universe.

This means that no matter how far the physical distance between two adjacent galaxies on the star map is, as long as there is a star tunnel connecting them, then the two worlds are called adjacent worlds on the star map and then drawn together.

The connection between star regions also follows the same logic. As long as the galaxies in a star region are connected to another galaxy, they will be drawn together; however, it should be noted that the reverse is not necessarily true. For the sake of the completeness of the star map, sometimes two adjacent worlds are drawn together just because it is complete and convenient to draw, and they are not actually directly connected.

But in any case, as long as the star regions are adjacent to each other on the map, they will not be too far away. If there is no direct connection, you can always jump over by jumping through other star regions. Otherwise, the distance would not be so close.

Within the scope of the star field, the traffic of the star tunnel is still well-connected. As long as you are within a star field, you can always find a way to another star field through various routes and different ways of detour.

However, it is different between star fields.

Humans took the initiative to demarcate the area connected by a large number of star tunnels into a star field. And often, the connection between such an area and another star field will suddenly converge to only one or two.

On the star map, the south of the Dragon Eagle Star Field is the Carved Silk Star Field. It looks like there is a large border between the two star regions on the map, but in fact, there are only two star tunnels between the two star regions. One is in the Black Bone Ridge Star Region, and the other is in the Fire Eagle Star Region. The

Black Bone Ridge Star Region is a conflict star region, and humans and green-skinned orcs are still fighting in the star region, but it is not the main battlefield, and the fight is not fierce. The government of the Carved Silk Star Region in the south is still a little panicked when they see their neighbor in the north being beaten up like this. They also have their own problems to solve in their star region, but they still squeezed out some of their forces to assist in the defense of the Black Bone Ridge, mainly because they are afraid that the Iron Tooth Clan will go south along the Black Bone Ridge and burn the war to their home.

It is impossible to go from the Black Bone Ridge, so the only choice is the Fire Eagle Star Region.

From the Fire Eagle Star Region south of the Yunluo Star Region, turn to the Carved Silk Star Region in the south. Then, from west to east, almost across the entire Carved Silk Star Region, go north to enter the East Lin Star Region. There is a star tunnel between the Bianma Star Region and the East Lin Star Region, which can enter the Seven Horses.

This is the only way, and it’s very roundabout. Even if you take a fast ship, it will take three or four months to make one trip.

It’s ridiculous, but there’s no other way.

The team sent by Erso took this route.

Of course, Erso doesn’t think that relying on less than a hundred Fury Space Marines alone can make the Alliance “more seriously” involved in the war.

The Alliance doesn’t look like an obedient one, not to mention the Phoenix, which has even more grudges.

They won’t be so obedient.

We can only use some strong means.

Of course not force.

Cordoba Javier, the captain of the 7th Company of the Fury Regiment, who led the team to the Pegasus Star Region to meet Gu Hang, carried a military order in his hand.

This order, which clearly has the legal force of the Empire, is the key.

They had already set out a long time ago, and I think they should have arrived by now.

…

“Captain Kazimierz Erso, the highest person in charge of the Dragon Eagle War Zone, requires my troops to attack the Golden Gate Star Zone with all their strength in the name of the commander of the war zone?”

“The order requires me to end the Temir Campaign and win within two months; and within four months, bring the war to the Silver Gate Star Zone and effectively strike at the heart of the Iron-toothed Green-skinned Aliens?”

“The order requires us not to delay, and every goal is non-negotiable. Otherwise, I, Gu Hang himself, and the Alliance as a political entity will bear the unshirkable responsibility for the failure of the entire war. The maximum penalty is that I be sentenced to death and the Alliance as a political entity be dissolved?”

“When necessary, Javier Cordoba, the commander of the Fury of Flames, who is sent to the Pegasus sector, can take over all the military forces of the Seven Horses. When he needs it, from the Phoenixes to the Alliance forces, from the Imperial Navy, the Astra Militarum, to the Planetary Defense Forces of the 88 worlds in the Seven Horses, all should accept his orders unconditionally?”

Gu Hang looked at the copy of the order given to him by Captain Cordoba of the Fury of Flames in his hand, and he didn’t even feel angry, but just wanted to laugh.

About half a month ago, news came from Bianma III that Javier Cordoba and the company of the Fury of Flames, which he led, entered the Bianma sector and headed all the way to the heart of the Alliance.

He came with the order of the Dragon Eagle War Zone Supreme Command, and he was the captain of the notorious Space Marines, so no one dared to stop him along the way.

The Alliance did not order an interception.

He came to the Winged Star unimpeded.

They refused to leave the ship, and Cordoba asked Governor Gu Hang to board the ship to meet him.

Arrogant Space Marines, simply don’t know what to do.

Gu Hang ignored him and treated him as a bunch of air.

He was busy doing what he should do normally. The Alliance spent a total of three years in this war, and in the past two years, it has finally found a rhythm that suits it.

According to Gu Hang’s own summary, it is to seek development in a long-term war; on the basis of stabilizing the front line and protecting the peace of the Seven Horses, accelerate the integration of the Seven Horses and strengthen the comprehensive strength of the Alliance.

In general, all the imperial taxes payable by the Seven Horses should completely cover all war expenditures; all government fiscal revenues of the Seven Horses should be invested in the development of the Seven Horses themselves, especially the development of military potential.

In addition, the Alliance’s control over the Seven Horses has expanded from the first batch of nine worlds to thirty-two worlds through the spread of the Economic Union Act. The first batch of nine worlds have all entered the vassal level LV5, and half of the second batch of twenty-three have also reached LV5.

This means that the Alliance’s control over them is already quite strong. Even these planets that have reached the LV5 vassal level can almost be regarded as the Alliance’s core territories in another sense.

Moreover, the total production value of these worlds has increased by at least 30% in the past two years, and the highest has even more than doubled.

The planet that has doubled in size is not a small one. The Little General 6 in the Iron Horse Star Zone is an abandoned fortress world with a population of 2 billion. It was originally of great military significance, but now it has no military value. The situation is a bit like the previous Steel Wing Star.

After signing the Economic Community Act, the Little General 6 started the civilian and industrial transformation in full swing. The original production potential was greatly tapped, especially the dismantling of the abandoned fortresses, which could recycle a lot of refined gold raw materials; the planet itself also has a certain industrial foundation. Many sealed military factories were abandoned before, and the local planets were unable to develop them, but in the hands of the Alliance, these are not a problem.

In the latest report, the gross domestic product of this planet has doubled, and the per capita output value has increased from less than 0.7 to 1.5. It

is not only the worlds that have signed the Economic Community Act that have developed. Other worlds in the Seven Horses, even if the Alliance has not had time to develop the world that signed the treaty, have also gained the dividends of economic development under the strong demand for war and the economic trade led by the Alliance, and have achieved a certain economic growth.

Not to mention the Alliance itself, which has further developed under the conditions of “blood sucking”, tax exemption, and the support of many powerful technologies. Even with the drag of war, the estimated growth rate of total economic output is more than 6% per year.

With the superposition of these factors, the Alliance has retained the imperial tax and fiscal revenue in its hands in the past year, which has added up to about 45 billion, a full 7 billion increase compared to two years ago!

Moreover, those “vassal” worlds under the Seven Horses framework have enjoyed the development dividend, and the Alliance will certainly not leave all of them to the local planets. The Alliance has taken out about half of their fiscal revenue, which is about 5 billion, as a special war levy.

This year, the wealth that the Alliance can mobilize has reached 50 billion tax coins.

Although the Alliance Army has been constantly consuming in the Temir Campaign, it has become more and more. By now, the total scale has long reached the target two years ago, that is, the 400 million mark, and will soon reach 500 million.

Under the Seven Horses framework, the number of allied forces that can be mobilized by the Alliance under the unified command of the Alliance has reached an astonishing 1.9 billion.

In terms of the navy, the dock for the two-class cruisers has been expanded. Together with the two original musician-class docks, the alliance will be able to complete four cruisers in the near future. The total number of other destroyers and frigates added up to more than 40 ships in the past two years. The value of these ships alone has reached more than 60 billion, which is almost half of the alliance’s income in the past two years.

The combined fleet will soon have eleven main battleships.

In short, the alliance has its own rhythm in this war.

Gu Hang will pay attention to him!

Javier Cordoba was in the orbit of the flying wing star and didn’t even enter the star port. After being left alone for two days, he couldn’t sit still.

Lian Fan urged Gu Hang to come to see him, but all the information was thrown down like a stone sinking into the sea.

But he still didn’t dare to land.

The company was already discussing whether to take any tough measures?

However, Cordoba himself directly rejected this idea.

Take a hammer!

They only have a frigate-class boat and a hundred space warriors, what can they do?

There are indeed not many warships near Feiyi Star, most of them are on the front line. However, the combination of armed space stations and ground anti-orbital guns can prevent the sudden action of the Fury Warriors from even landing!

Unless their actions are sudden enough, Feiyi Star is completely unprepared.

But think with your ass, Governor Gu is not unprepared now.

Moreover, even if he lands, so what?

There may be five hundred Phoenixes guarding on the ground!

Go down to seek death?

After Lian Fan’s urging was useless, Cordoba could only lower his posture.

Although he still didn’t dare to land, he no longer asked Gu Hang to see him, but directly sent Kazimierz Erso’s order to the ground.

After receiving the order, Admiral Yan Fangxu still took it to show Gu Hang.

This is what Gu Hang saw before, which made him want to laugh.

“Order me? Is he qualified?”

Yan Fangxu was a little hesitant. He thought for a moment and said, “Governor…”

Today, Gu Hang is not only the governor of four planets, but also the star district leader of the Pegasus Star District, the leader of the Seven Horses, and the commander-in-chief of the eastern battlefield of the Dragon Eagle War Zone. However, his most important identity is still the leader of the alliance, and his subordinates are more accustomed to calling him the governor.

Although, the meaning of his “governor” has long surpassed that of an ordinary governor.

“We still can’t take this matter too lightly. The orders brought by these people from the Fury of Flame are effective. Casimir Erso, the commander of the Fury of Flame, is the commander-in-chief appointed by the Empire. In theory… he does have the right to mobilize our troops, and if we don’t listen, he can really declare us treasonous.”

“Heh.” Gu Hang sneered.

Yan Fangxu continued, “There should be people from the Inquisition on this ship in Cordoba as witnesses. If we definitely don’t obey orders, maybe nothing will happen right now, but these people may really cause us a lot of trouble after they go back.”

“So should we really start the final battle of the Battle of Temir immediately according to the requirements of this order without making sufficient preparations, and we have to break into the greenskins’ lair within four months?”

“No, of course not!” Yan Fangxu said quickly, “Why should we do what they can’t do on the frontal battlefield? I just… just raised this risk. I think, Governor, you must have a suitable response method.” “Actually, I don’t.

” Gu Hang said with a smile, “I don’t plan to have one.”

“Declare me and the Alliance of treason?” At this point, Gu Hang restrained his smile, and said to Yan Fangxu seriously: “You must understand that only those who lose the war are war criminals; only the weak will be declared treasonous. If we really rush into the battle, fail to win, and consume our own strength out of thin air, that would be a huge crime.”

“If we only had the strength we had on the Wrath of the Owl, anyone could accuse us of treason; and now, perhaps there are still people who can declare us treasonous, but a captain of a chapter? Or Erso?”

“They don’t have the qualifications.”
