Chapter 319, Black Arrow Star Strategy
Theoretically speaking, the position of governor of Black Arrow Star is now controlled by Gu Hang.
The current 'Governor' is Nes Luman, and this king is indeed under Gu Hang's control at this moment.Not only was his mind controlled by Gu Hang, but the country's military, politics, and economy were also controlled by the alliance.
But this kind of control does not represent the alliance's control over the entire Black Arrow Star.
Nes Luman's position as governor comes from the special political ecology of the Black Arrow Star: the King's Council.
The person elected by the King's Council will temporarily serve as the governor of Black Arrow Star until the next election.
After the King's Council was last opened, the Luman Kingdom, a kingdom that had been on the wrong side in the previous war and was beaten violently by the Raging Star's army, deservedly lost its governor's seat.
According to the political tradition of the Black Arrow Star, Ness should leave office after the previous tax collection is completed.
But he insisted on not leaving office after the King's Council.The specific manifestation is that he did not go to the district government to submit his resignation and the process of selecting the next governor.
In the past of Black Arrow Star, some people did this, but the end was not pretty.
The reason is that essentially the governor of this planet is still the entity of the 'King's Council'.
The King's Council itself is of course not powerful, but what it represents is crucial.The seven most powerful countries on the planet, together with a handful of scattered small countries, discuss major issues in this parliament.The most important thing is for everyone to find a way to collect the imperial taxes that their respective countries have to pay and pay them together, so as to maintain the stability of the entire planet.
Do you want to dominate the position of governor?
It has never been that you can dominate the planet by becoming a governor, but only those who can dominate the planet can become a true governor.
No matter where this ability to dominate comes from.
Obviously, the current Nes Luman, or the alliance behind him, is not able to dominate the Black Arrow Star.The other kings on that planet were not convinced either.
After Nes Luman refused to hand over the position of governor, they took it upon themselves to elect a new governor from the King's Council.This person is Pampos, the largest kingdom on the Black Arrow Star.
They have begun to mobilize their own relations in an attempt to gain recognition from the Empire.
Of course, the influence of these kings in the political arena is too weak. Let alone the star region government, even the star region government has no way to go, let alone the current political situation in the star region is in chaos.
Their past connections were mainly with Gu's Trading Company and with the Mechanicus in the sector.But the former is simply on Nes Luman's side now. They came to find them, and the people in the Gu's Trading Company generally persuaded them to accept their fate; as for the latter, the Mechanicus in the Pegasus Sector has great influence. Low, really speaking, this place is more like the territory of the state religion.The organization is well-established and influential, and there is even a headquarters for the nuns.
In short, if they pursue a political line, they will be crushed to death.
But they obviously didn't expect much from this aspect.
While they are active, their actions within the planet are more important.
They have declared that they refuse to remit imperial taxes to the Kingdom of Luman.The Kingdom of Pampos is responsible for related taxation work and has almost received the support of the remaining 85% of countries.
The annual imperial tax of Black Arrow Star is 4000 million tax coins.
The Luman Kingdom will definitely not be able to fill this hole on its own, and Gu Hang will not be able to deal with it by selling iron and steel. The entire Black Arrow Star will definitely have to come out.
then what should we do?
There is only war.
In fact, there has already been a fight.
However, it was not Gu Hang's side who took action.
Over there, after being elected as the new 'Governor', the King of Pampos gathered an army and sent a warning to the Luman Kingdom. He also sent the warning to the Gu's Trading Company through the Astrology Tower. share.
Their warning letter to the Luman Kingdom was very harsh, accusing Nes Luman of being a traitor, and listed nine deadly sins;
But the wording for Gu's warning was relatively euphemistic. It roughly means that we have been doing business for many years, and the relationship has always been relatively friendly. Black Arrow Star is very poor, and there is nothing worthy of Gu's business here except for trade. At the same time, the Black Arrow people are also very brave. If even the only thing they have is to be taken away, then they will fight to the end at all costs.
This was considered a statement of attitude, but Gu Hang ignored them.
Upon seeing this, the troops gathered by the King's Council invaded the territory of the Luman Kingdom.
However, their determination to fight was obviously not that sufficient, and their logistical supply capabilities did not support them in actually gathering a very large and elite army to invade the Luman Kingdom on a large scale.
Among them, even the Knight Titan was only produced by the Kingdom of Pampos.
The newly established army of the Luman Kingdom is definitely no match for them. After all, the Luman people don't even have many sentinel mechas now.
But then the Black Arrow Army was dispatched.
Under the fierce assault of the armored troops, the King's Allied Forces were beaten to pieces.If they hadn't retreated quickly, even the Knight Titan would have been left behind.
Purbeuf's army gave the Black Arrows a small alliance shock.
But at this point, it had only repelled an enemy attack, and it was far from being able to make the kings give in.
They have no courage to regroup their troops to attack the Luman Kingdom on a large scale. They can only adopt the mode of economic blockade and small-scale border intrusion to continue their hostilities.
Of course, it is impossible for them to hand over the imperial tax to the Luman Kingdom.
This was still a bit tricky for Gu Hang, but it was actually within his expectations.When Ness Luman was instructed not to give up Governor Black Arrow, the reactions of other countries on Black Arrow were predictable.
This matter cannot be solved, and a war will definitely be needed to end it all.
Gu Hang has the intention to annex the entire Black Arrow Star, and those other kingdoms are not just fools, so of course they will resist.
Rather than saying it was an accident, it would be better to say that this situation was caused by Gu Hang.
He had long been ready for a fight.
Especially now that the war in the Raging Owl Star has almost completely subsided, the alliance has enough strength to deal with this war.
Moreover, Gu Hang was confident enough to win.
The Black Arrow Planet has a population of 500 million, while the Raging Owl Planet has only [-] million including new immigrants. It seems that the size difference between the two places is huge, but in fact this is not the case.
The gap between the industrial capabilities and mobilization capabilities between the two is too big.The main military strength of the major kingdoms on the Black Arrow Star, that is, the kingdom's army, cannot support the level of the militia in terms of quality, and is very different from the regular army of the alliance in all aspects.Not to mention organizational discipline and tactics, just in terms of hardware and equipment, they don't even have all the G-series rifles. Many of them are 'local guns and cannons' produced by their respective kingdoms, and their range, power, and accuracy are all worrying.
The only equipment that can be considered high-tech and can make the Alliance army take a high look is the Sentinel Mecha and the Knight Titan.However, the performance of the former on the frontal battlefield is average, and the number of the latter is too small.
What's even worse is that the high-tech equipment of the Imperial Army relies entirely on foreign trade, and the channel for this foreign trade is Gu's Trading Company.This makes their ability to continue fighting very weak. Once a war breaks out and Gu's Trading Company blocks the trade routes, their army will collapse over time.
However, despite the war, Gu Hang felt that the chances of victory were very high, and the losses he might suffer would not be high.However, he also has his own dilemma to face:
In the name of war.
Of course, he could use Luman's name to directly declare all other kingdoms on the Black Arrow Star as rebels in the name of not paying imperial taxes, and then ask for help from the Astra Militarum, the Raging Bear Legion, to put down the rebellion. .In the name of responding to the Astra Militarum, the Alliance army accompanied the Raging Bear Legion to the Black Arrow Star on a large scale to carry out the 'counter-insurgency' mission.
This whole set of logic is smooth and compliant.
However, it’s a bit too shameless and forceful.
After all, the governor's right to rule was guaranteed by the empire, but there was always room for wrangling.The Empire has always supported this situation, such as the King's Council's election of a governor, based on the different political styles of each planet.The King's Council of Black Arrow Star is also a system that has been registered and recognized by the imperial government.
What's more, Black Arrow Star has been operating under such a political system for thousands of years.No matter what name Gu Hang uses, others are not blind or stupid, so why can't they see that you are just trying to annex?
In the past, Gu Hang wouldn't have dared to do this.
Although this sea of stars is a world of jungle, under the human race and under the unified government of the empire, doing so will suffer too much criticism, and it is very, very easy to be criticized by other political forces at some step in it. Interference, failure under external interference.
Moreover, even if it succeeds, there will still be a lot of troublesome aftermath work to do, and you may have to vomit out as much as you eat.
After all, Gu Hang still had to get involved in the empire's system.
The main reason why it can be done now is that the political situation in the entire Tianma Star District has become completely chaotic, and Gu Hang can profit from the chaos.
In addition, it is precisely because of the chaos in the political situation that things that previously required a lot of interest exchanges and political compromises are now relatively easy to obtain.
In the name of the Gu family, Gu Hang simultaneously issued a notice to the two major forces in the current star region that he was going to Black Arrow Star to quell the rebellion.
This almost made it clear that Gu Hang wanted to annex Black Arrow Star.
As for these two major forces, there was a core matter that was currently being fought over around Gu Hang.
That is about Blackbird Heavy Industry, an asset controlled by the Falchers family, which was involved in the Iron Man rebellion on the Raging Owl.
When the Fachers family sent the Astra Militarum to the Raging Owl Star to quell the Iron Man rebellion, Major General Cai Minjin took over the task and wanted to advance into Blackbird City first to collect and destroy relevant clues.
To them, this is natural.
Indeed, if we, the Falches family, have caused trouble for you, then I have sent millions of Astral Army troops to solve this trouble for you, and then we should not owe each other anything.
But obviously, the actual situation depends on the specific means.Cai Minjin couldn't get into Blackbird City first, and ended up letting it be looted by the Alliance first.
Farches felt guilty as a thief. They didn't know what was there, and Gu Hang didn't say anything about it, but... wasn't this because they were afraid?
At this critical juncture, they don't want this mine to explode.
On the contrary, Little Peddes hoped that Gu Hang could hand over this thunder to them. In this way, they would have a weapon in their hands that could attack the Faches family.
Not to mention how deadly it is, but linking the Iron Man rebellion, which was originally characterized as an individual act, with the entire Falches family, will obviously cause them a lot of trouble.
And here, Gu Hang has the capital to exchange with both parties.
The Black Arrow Planet was originally just a small marginal place, with a population of [-] million, less than half the hive city of Koroga. There were no rich specialties, it was just an agricultural planet with a feudal system, which really didn't matter.
Moreover, whenever Gu Hang wanted it, he would go and get it himself without any special help from others. He only needed their nod.
So, after some exchanges, Farches finally agreed not to cause any difficulties to Gu Hang in this matter.As long as he can calm down the situation on Black Arrow Star before the next imperial tax is paid, then they will acquiesce to this matter.
After Gu Hang received a satisfactory answer, he quickly gave the other party a reassurance:
"I will never give information about Blackbird Heavy Industry to Little Peddes and use it as a weapon to criticize Faches."
……
"I will never hand over the information of Blackbird Heavy Industry to Faches so that they will have no worries at all."
Turning around, Gu Hang also gave little Pedsi a reassurance.
When Gu Hang heard this, little Pedes was very angry.He had been angry about the 'betrayal' of the Gu family and Fofana before, but now, Gu Hang did not fully meet his request, did not give him anything, and was even less likely to stand up and identify the Faches family.
But after all, Gu Hang did not completely switch to the other side.
After repeated persuasion from his staff and other cooperating forces, in line with the principle that even if he could not win the support of the Gu family, at least not to get into a hostile relationship, he finally nodded, and his attitude was roughly the same as that of Faches. .
Don't help, don't cause trouble.
That's enough.
After resolving the political issues, Gu Hang could finally unleash his talents.
The Central Group Army, half of the Raging Bear Legion on Raging Owl Star, the Phoenix Battle Group... the troops that Gu Hang had determined to participate in the war began to prepare for departure.
They will board the transport ship mobilized by Gu's Trading Company, board the ship from the Angry Owl Star Port, which has been significantly expanded many times, and sail to the Black Arrow Star to embark on the Alliance's first step in conquering the Star Sea.
And Gu Hang will also personally participate in this war.
