Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Not a Beating

After activating the event [Phoenix is about to die], Gu Hang still had 36 points of grace left.

Not a small amount, but not enough.

For a moment, he was itching to use this grace to draw cards.

40% chance of delivery, how could he not draw it after 3 draws?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

But he didn’t choose to do that in the end.

He still wanted to upgrade. Waiting for the monthly fixed income to be paid, plus these 36 points, it would be enough. If he spent the grace now, he wouldn’t be able to upgrade in two days.

In the end, he still suppressed the thought of drawing cards.

…

After Gu Hang finished the various system functions, he also rested for a while.

Although his head still hurt a little, it was much better than when the battle just ended.

This also made Gu Hang feel more at ease: it seems that the previous situation of draining spiritual energy was not serious and did not affect the foundation.

Leaving the infantry fighting vehicle, the work of cleaning the battlefield continued.

The soldiers collected a large number of monster corpses or body parts that were beaten to pieces. There were too many to load them all back at once, so the rest were piled together so that they could be transported again later.

These are the raw materials for the synthetic starch production line.

In other places, “corpse starch” may be a derogatory term, but for Gu Hang, it seems to be true…

Although the hungry people in the wasteland may not care much about this, as long as they are not sick after eating it, or don’t have too big a problem, it is better than having nothing to eat. But Gu Hang still tried hard to hide the news. He couldn’t keep it completely secret, but he certainly wouldn’t publicize it.

After all, it’s not an honorable thing.

Just as the troops were busy, Yan Fangxu came to him again.

Seeing the captain’s crooked nose and a black bruise above his left eye, Gu Hang was stunned for a moment: “How did you get hurt like this? This shouldn’t be an injury that can be caused by an abscess monster, right?”

“Uh… it’s nothing…”

“Oh!” Looking at the captain’s embarrassed face, Gu Hang suddenly realized and remembered something he had almost forgotten before, “You were beaten up by your old subordinates?”

Yan Fangxu immediately became anxious: “What beating? How can you say it’s a beating? Just… I accidentally lost one or two moves… It’s not a beating…”

“Hahaha!” Gu Hang was amused, “Yes, yes, it’s not a beating, not a beating, it’s just a small beating.”

Yan Fangxu was speechless.

He didn’t want to talk to the governor anymore, but he couldn’t help but feel itchy.

Hesitating, he still couldn’t help but say: “That… Governor… this intensive training… I…”

He was a little embarrassed to fully express his request.

He couldn’t beat his old subordinates, and he had to come to the governor to ask for participation in that special intensive training. He always felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Hang patted Yan Fangxu on the shoulder and said, “How could I not agree to this request? But not now, you have greater potential, you deserve more severe and more valuable training.”

Yan Fangxu’s eyes lit up: “Thank you, Governor!”

“Don’t thank me in a hurry, but I have to say it in advance. There should be sacrifices for gains. Nothing in the world is without a price. If you want to get a gift from me, you should be more loyal to me.”

Yan Fangxu understood what Gu Hang meant.

But he didn’t dare to agree.

He was a member of the Imperial Navy, and his future was still in the sea of stars. Did he have to switch to a planetary governor to work in the planetary defense force?

There is a gap.

The Imperial military system is about three parts, the Imperial Navy, the Imperial Star Army, and the Planetary Defense Force. The first two are directly under the Empire’s military, with a relatively high status. In theory, they are directly under the command of the Imperial Central Government and receive supplies provided by the Empire. The Planetary Defense Force (PDF) is only a planetary-level defense force, which is established and led by the Planetary Governor.

The Empire would not care about the training, equipment, and supplies of PDFs, but sometimes they would conscript PDFs into the Astra Militarum or take them away as Imperial taxes. Often in high-intensity interstellar wars, PDFs would be used as cannon fodder by the Empire’s main forces.

The navy masters don’t even look down on the big soldiers of the Star Army, how can they be interested in being a PDF?

Comparing the captain of the planetary defense force with the captain of the Imperial Navy, only an idiot would choose the former.

But what about the general of the planetary defense force compared to a navy captain?

This… is hard to say. A captain of the Marine Corps, such as Yan Fangxu, at most he only led a special marine company with a hundred people under his command, and now there are only thirty people. But if he becomes a general, he may become an important figure on this planet.

But can he really become a general?

Accepting the governor’s request is equivalent to betting everything on the governor in front of him. Betting that the governor in front of him can win.

Yan Fangxu was a little afraid to gamble.

He is not a barefoot man, unlike the native residents of the Angry Owl Star.

Looking at Yan Fangxu who was in a dilemma, Gu Hang did not force him. He smiled and patted the other person’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, it’s still early, you don’t have to make a decision now. No matter what, you are my subordinate at this moment and you all obey me. I believe you will make a decision in the future.”

Yan Fangxu breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked at Gu Hang gratefully.

Fortunately, the governor did not force him to make a choice at this moment.

He was worried that he would make the wrong choice.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this. What do you want to talk to me about?”

“It’s a serious matter. A troop from Fuxing City is approaching us. They don’t seem to be hostile. The leader claims to be the grandson of the Union Parliament Speaker Hodgson, and he came to protect the governor’s safety.”

Gu Hang looked strange, and his tone was not sure whether it was sarcasm or sighing: “The Union Parliament team… Whether they have evil intentions or really want to protect me, they are too late.”

“What should we do now? Disperse them?”

“No.” Gu Hang waved his hand, “The matter is over, I want to see what they mean. You take the 3rd Battalion up, disarm them all, and then bring the people here. It just so happens that the battlefield needs more people to clean up, and I also want to meet the grandson of the parliament speaker to see what news he will bring me.”

“Yes!”

Yan Fangxu went to work.

He didn’t let Gu Hang wait for long, and soon, he brought the people.

About 500 soldiers, unarmed, honestly began to clean up the battlefield and carry the monster corpses with the soldiers originally under Gu Hang’s command.

In addition, a young man in officer uniform was brought to Gu Hang.

“Lambert Hodgson.” Gu Hang read out his name.

Young Lambert saluted Gu Hang and greeted loudly: “Hello, Governor!”

“Why are you here?”

“To protect the Governor. ” “

Does your grandfather know that you are here? “

“I am here on the orders of the Speaker of the Parliament!”

“Then you came at a coincidence. My battle is over and the enemy has been eliminated. You should have come earlier, no matter what you want to do.”

Lambert said: “I’m sorry, Governor, we are late… I also understand your doubts. But please believe that we are indeed here to protect you. My men and I will obey any of your orders unconditionally without regrets.” Gu Hang smiled.

Let

me add something more.

This book is an original world view + a lot of Warhammer 40k settings are sewn into the Star Lord text.

There are only settings, and there will be no specific characters, events, places and completely consistent history in Warhammer.

This book is mainly an interstellar science fiction, or it can be called a space opera.

If you really want to treat it as a hammer… it’s not impossible, but if you see some different settings, please follow the description in this book.
