Chapter 317, I’m going to die
Let’s not talk about the Angry Bear Legion. This is the Astra Militarum. They fight according to the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Astra Militarum headquarters. Gu Hang does not care about this with them.
But the supplies for the Raging Bear Legion were sent by Raging Owl Star, not from the Imperial Military Affairs Department.Don't think that ammunition is cheap, especially those heavy artillery shells, bolt gun ammunition, replacement parts for technical equipment... they are all very expensive things.
Moreover, the newly brought 5 garrison divisions and 1 armored combined brigade are not from the Raging Bear Legion, but from the Planetary Defense Force of Raging Owl. They will not fight in vain.
For these 4 people, the cost of building an army would be one million tax coins.
The alliance also transported large amounts of food and fresh water.
In this wave, the total cost invested by Gu Hang has reached nearly 200 million tax coins.
Under this situation, Gu Hang signed an evacuation clause for refugees with the government on the other side of the ship on Koruga No. 3.
In the future, the Alliance will further send troops, provide ammunition, provide military weapons and equipment, provide food, fresh water, textiles...
The total amount of various aids should reach 700 million tax coins.
It's a lot of money, but the league can afford it.
A considerable part of the wealth is offset by directly sending troops to participate in the war; various types of ammunition assistance and technical equipment assistance are also supplemented by the alliance's troops going to the front line to participate in the war. They will not be given to the Korokians, but they will be counted in the 700 million aid. in.
What is really going to be handed over to the Korogans are only some light weapons.
This is normal, the alliance's military factories also want orders.The Alliance's own troops are in desperate need of all kinds of heavy weapons and have no spare time for the Korokians; however, there is a lot of production capacity for some G-series rifles and the like.
The same is true for ammunition. The war on the mainland of Raging Owl has generally subsided, and the consumption of ammunition has dropped immediately. Can't we find a place to 'sell' the excess?
The same is true for food and fresh water.The fresh water resources on Nu Xiaoxiao are relatively abundant, and there is also a large area of the ocean that can be used for seawater desalination.
In terms of food, the Qinggu region had a great harvest last year, and the people of the Raging Owl star couldn't finish it. If it wasn't exported, they would keep it and wait to become old food.
Moreover, a considerable part of these things will be sent to refugee camps.And the people living in the refugee camp... they will all be Alliance members in the future!
In exchange for the 'aid' of 700 million tax coins, the alliance will 'help' Koruga 3 to evacuate 1000 million refugees.
This agreement is considered to be the most ruthless among all the forces that are plundering the population of Koroga 3.
The reason why he can be so ruthless is the result of Gu Hang's activities.
This is the role of 'prestige', which is slowly showing its effect.
Of course, there is also the political influence of the Gu family.
In fact, not only did he make money, but Gu's Trading Company also made money.A considerable part of the transportation orders are not just for the Raging Owl Star, but also include those from other major forces.Whether it is the movement of materials or personnel, a large number of ships are required.Gu's Trading Company is quite prosperous just from these transportation orders.
The population transferred from Koroga 3 is still very welcome on the Raging Owl planet, and the quality of the population is actually pretty good.
In sharp contrast, the population from the Black Arrow Star is a big headache.
The cumulative number of people migrating from Black Arrow Star is hundreds of thousands, all from the Luman Kingdom.They are truly illiterate. Most of them are serfs, illiterate, and do not possess any skills required by industrial society. The cost of training is very high.
Comparing the people of Raging Owl Star, although there is a considerable proportion of illiterates, the proportion of illiteracy is not as high as that of the population of Black Arrow Star.
Moreover, there is also a gap among the illiterate.
There is a reason for this. Raging Owl is a wasteland planet. The people here may not know how to read, but they must have some skills.He may be able to drive, repair cars, assemble and use firearms, tinker with some broken machines...
People who don't have this ability can't survive in the wasteland.
A considerable number of wastelanders, under the system established by the alliance, entered schools and learned a few words in the adult education stage. It didn't take more than a few hundred or thousands to be able to understand written articles and communicate in writing normally. can already become a qualified industrial population.
The population on Koroga 3 also has similar attributes.Many of them live at the bottom of the hive city, and their lives are worse than those of livestock, but their literacy rate is better than that of wastelanders. Many of them have the experience of working in factories and mines - if they don't work, they can't survive.
No matter what, the hive capital still has the most basic education, and children as young as five or six have to go to school for two years before they can become child laborers.
Differences in population quality make huge differences in the immediate value immigrants from different sources can bring into play.
But in general, at this stage, the Raging Owl Star still accepts all comers in terms of population.
Even if they are from the Black Arrow Star and need a certain period of modern training before they can be thrown into the Qinggu area to work as agricultural workers, that is still possible.
As long as a qualified labor force is given normal opportunities and platforms, the value it can create is still far greater than what it consumes, and there will definitely be labor surplus value.
What's more, the alliance's efficient system eliminates the middle class and eliminates the need for taxes, but it is better than taxes. The intensity of collecting surplus value is much higher than that of conventional private ownership.
……
Nearly half a year has passed by in a hurry, and the alliance is developing in an orderly manner.
As the Prime Minister of the Alliance, Oceana is very busy.
But she's used to it.
Ever since she took on this position, she has never been less busy.
work overtime?
Apart from sleeping and eating, there is no time for rest!
When it comes to exploitation, she, the Prime Minister of the Alliance, has been exploited the most.
Under her leadership, the coalition government has completed some of its previously set goals ahead of schedule.This is the third year of the alliance and the first year after unification.It is estimated that the total annual output value in the next full year will increase from the original more than 5000 million to more than 6800 million.
That's $300 million more than the two-year increase she had promised the Governor.
This is certainly a gratifying achievement. However, it is estimated that she will not be able to achieve another indicator - the per capita productivity indicator.
The main reason is that the population of Raging Star will skyrocket by 1000 million, and a large amount of development budget will be spent on resettling and digesting these populations, while the construction work of remote provinces will fall behind.
Of course, the immigrants also contributed a lot to the newly added annual output value of 300 million yuan.
Most of the immigrants went to Weixingcheng and Beiqinggu.The former needs population as an industrial center, while the latter still has a large amount of land resources that need to be cultivated and has enough capacity to absorb a large number of people without becoming overcrowded and unbearable.
Gu Hang didn't feel dissatisfied with this situation. He was quite satisfied with Oceana's work results.As for the per capita output value not reaching the target, this is to be expected.What's more, hasn't it been two years yet?
It's only been half a year.
During this period of time, Gu Hang himself basically flew between Korugao 3 and Angry Owl.
On the one hand, he continues to maintain his presence on the Raging Star and makes some rough decisions on the development of the planet. On the other hand, he is also actively active in the interstellar political arena.
At the same time, they are also waiting for the investigation team from Sun Lord to arrive.
On Koroga 3, there are still many people stranded on Koroga 3 for the same reason.Some were people who were at the scene when Gallardo disappeared, and some were investigation teams at the three levels of the star region, star region, and space region.
are waiting.
But today, the Solar Survey Team suddenly released new news——
They won't come.
This news reached Koruga 3 and caused an uproar!
There are endless complaints and curses from all sides.
No, why didn't you come even if you said you wouldn't come?
In the previous news, they had even set off and had been on the road for half a year. They didn't come if they couldn't come, or they just went home if they said they wanted to?
So what are we doing here, waiting for more than half a year?
Waiting in vain?
Amidst the complaints, some people with keen political cognition immediately realized a lot of information from this information and detected some special signals.
First, let’s talk about the changes that may occur in the Tianma star region.
Are you not looking for the war apostle?No more accountability?
Of course not.
The Solar Investigation Team still gave their requirements and orders.
First of all, they recognized the joint investigation conclusion given by the third-level investigation team, recognized the disappearance of Gallardo, and asked the Dragon Eagle Star Region to maintain a team to continue to search for traces of the missing war apostle, and to meet the people alive. See the corpse if you die.
It was very harsh, but compared to the previous attitude, it was undoubtedly softened a lot.
The Eternal Territory Government took it out directly, and the Star Territory Government only needs to send out a team to keep investigating. To put it bluntly, it's just a pretense. Now, after a year of searching with such great efforts, they still can't find it. Will just one investigation team be able to find the war apostle with less time and fewer clues?
Unrealistic.
As for responsibility, since such a big thing happened, but the exact murderer has never been found, the final conclusion can only be made by accident and at the hands of the Abyss Demon.This also means that no suitable 'person' can be found to take this responsibility.
We can't let the devils be responsible, right?You can't solve it.
So, who should be the person in charge?
……
"I'm dying."
When he said this, Peter's gray hair was a little messy.Although he had covered it up with makeup, his bloodshot eyes still inevitably revealed his decadence.
This was the first time Gu Hang saw him like this.In the impression, Chief Peddes always cares a lot about his image. His hair is always meticulous, his appearance is full of energy, and his smile will make people feel like spring breeze.
It seems that no matter who they are, they are all the same in the face of death.
Everyone else present, no matter who they were or how they thought about this matter, at least on the surface, looked sad.
This was a meeting, and the participants were six people from the Pegasus sector circle with leader Pedes as the core.In addition to himself, there is also his younger brother, little Peddes.
Beyond that, there are the other two families in the 'Pegasus Iron Triangle', the Gu family and the Fofana family.
From the Gu family's side, Wang Qi and Gu Hang came.Wang Qi is now the actual operator of Gu's Trading Company, and Gu Hang is the head of the family, and also represents the upcoming rise of the Pegasus Star Area Psychic Order and the Raging Owl Star.
There are two members of the Fofana family, one is the old General Fofana in navy uniform, and Brigadier General Yelicia.The former is the sea-suppressing needle of the Fofana family, while the latter is a rising star in the family and the future successor.
And when this meeting started, it was Pedes, the head of the sector, who was explaining the funeral arrangements.
Little Pedro was beside him, his face gloomy.
His high-pitched voice sounded: "Be able to resist..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his brother next to him:
"What nonsense are you talking about?! We, Pedes, have been loyal subjects of the empire since our ancestors! No matter what kind of treatment we receive, we should accept it happily!"
He reprimanded sternly, and then observed the expressions of the four people from the Gu family and the Fofana family.
After being scolded like this, little Peddes finally shut up.
Gu Hang's face remained serious, but he almost laughed out loud after hearing what little Peddes said.
resist?With what to resist?
If you really want to resist, after walking out of this door, the first person to cut off the confession will be Gu; the first to fire at the Flying Wing Star will be Fofana.
Peddes sighed, faced the four 'allies' again, and repeated the words: "I am going to die. Although the Sun Lord's investigation team is not here, and they have recognized the investigation conclusions of the three levels of government, but They asked someone to take responsibility. This person is me, and Governor Akuna. Akuna tried to escape, but was intercepted by people from the Star Territory Legal Department in advance. She should be dead now. I am ready to accept my fate calmly, Star Territory As for Hezhouyu, please give me some face, and I will take care of myself later, and that’s the end of the matter.”
After a pause, he continued: "But what I... can't let go the most is my brother."
Little Peddes stood there with a sullen face and said nothing.
"After Akuna and I died, we..." He emphasized 'we', "Our biggest dilemma is that our control over the political situation of the sector and Koroga 3 will be greatly weakened. The leader and the Governor of Koroga have not been decided yet. The Fachers family will definitely not let this opportunity go."
"I have no other requirements. We must not let go of these two positions, at least they cannot fall into the hands of Faches, otherwise we will all be in big trouble."
Having said this, he looked at the old General Fofana: "General, I hope you can come out and run for the position of the leader of the sector that will be left after my death."
After saying this, without waiting for Old Fofana's reply, he looked at Wang Qi and Gu Hang again: "Perhaps one person from the Gu family can take on the responsibility of Governor of Korokia."
