Chapter 370, the fundamental solution

Chapter 370, the fundamental solution

While Gu Hang was processing the documents at hand, he listened to Lieutenant General Hans's endless complaints on the external call.

"Commander Gu, are you listening to me?"

"Of course I'm listening." Gu Hang responded, indicating that he was still there.

"But I don't think you take the problem I mentioned at all to heart. I need troops, more troops! The size of the Salvation Army must at least double again, otherwise we will not be able to continue to ensure the security of the Diji District. Control! My team is too spread out and I can’t guard so many people. Once attacked, we will suffer losses..."

Hans started again.

Ever since he entered Mingyan City a month ago and led his troops into endless security battles, he had made many phone calls to Gu Hang, asking for more troops.

Gu Hang can completely understand.

The Astra Militarum plus the Salvation Army, 40 million people, seems like a lot, but in comparison, there are 4 billion people in Mingyan City. The chaotic situation in Diji District requires a large number of troops to guard almost every block in order to maintain the general rule.

The strict military control strategy caused the troops to be seriously dispersed. Often a regiment is stationed in a neighborhood with hundreds of thousands of people. If it faces a frontal attack from the enemy, it will not be a big problem. They cannot muster so many guns and artillery, and they are defenseless against the army.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the soldiers who are standing guard, patrolling, and doing business, and they are easily vulnerable to cold shots from around the corner. A military vehicle may hit a roadside bomb just a few steps away.

The gangs and the rebels did not want to give up control of the territory they controlled.

No wonder Hans complained so much.

In the past month, they have sacrificed thousands of lives.

This number is indeed not on the same level as the previous decisive battle, when a division was completely wiped out in a few hours, but the consumption of people is still not small.

The Salvation Army is doing better. The direct troops under Hans already have a lot of grievances.

After the big battle, they originally wanted to go home, but they were sent to engage in security warfare. The casualties are nothing, but the key point is that you are always nervous when you go out to do anything, which consumes a lot of energy.

Many people are already saying that if we do this, we might as well let go and have a good fight.

Hans hopes to increase his troops, not because he cannot control the situation, but because he hopes to give his troops a chance to rest and adjust.

Gu Hang knew all these things.

However, he still rejected Hans' request again and again.

Military control is only a temporary measure.

If the problem of public security warfare must be solved by relying on the army for a long time, then there is no need to deal with this matter. It is meaningless to fill in more troops and cannot solve the fundamental problem. How many months can we be under military control, how many years can we be under military control, or can we be under military control for a lifetime?

Gu Hang had already thought of the real solution to the problem.

After sending away the complaining Lieutenant General Hans, it was time for Gu Hang to hold a meeting with the people who actually solved the problem.

It's a big group of people.

Among them were senior officials from the alliance from the Raging Owl and Black Arrow stars, as well as people who had performed well in Mingyan City in recent months and appeared on Lambert's list - the blue list.

Among them, there are people from the Union Ministry of Foreign Affairs responsible for external communication, exchanges, recruitment, and negotiations, led by Nikol Likhovich.

He will travel throughout the Lower Chao District and the Disi District to negotiate with some forces that are still worthy of profit, and strive to peacefully disband them, or accept them into Koluojia's new government.

Among the people worth saving, there are more rebels.

The rebels in the hive usually call themselves 'resistance'. Some of them are radical and no longer recognize the rule of the Empire or the rule of the Koroga government. The more rebellious ones even deny their belief in the Emperor. Some are more conservative and are just fighting, using fighting to promote talks, and strive for more practical benefits for their own power and people on their territory.

These rebels, or the reason for the emergence of the rebels, no matter how many dirty or noble things are in them, the essence is this: I can't live in this life, rebel!

But in Gu Hang's opinion, it can be recruited.

Now, these rebels have been beaten so hard that many of them are no longer able to operate openly. Now, when Salikhovich is dispatched, if we can negotiate and incorporate those into the planetary government system, then we can directly absorb them, and then gradually lift military control and see how things go.

In the form of gangs, regional monopoly alliances, cults... these problems may be more complicated than the resistance. Their demands are more complex and their appetites bigger. Especially for cults, there is basically no basis for negotiation.

But no matter what kind of goal they are facing, what Salihovich leads and the many people drawn from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce have to do is to formulate different plans based on the characteristics and demands of different forces. Those who can be coopted will be coopted, and those who cannot be coopted will be resolutely destroyed.

Salihovich's job is important, but it is not the most important.

Regardless of whether the negotiation is successful and the system is reorganized after a devastating blow, or the negotiation fails and the system is rebuilt after a devastating blow, a second wave of people is needed.

The Prime Minister of the Alliance, Ms. Ossena, has arrived at Koroga.

A month ago, under the leadership of Governor Gu Hang, Koroja had officially joined the planetary organization 'Alliance'. Of course, the Prime Minister of the Alliance must come to this suddenly increased place with a population eighty times greater than that of the original Alliance.

But what can she do by herself?

Although she had transferred many people from Binary Star and the alliance's government system, it was still a drop in the bucket, let alone Koruga, even for the city of Yancheng with a population of four billion.

No matter how reliable and developed the alliance's civil service system is, it cannot sustain a sudden expansion of its management scale dozens of times.

The management of Koroga ultimately depends on the locals of Koroga.

For this reason, after the war, Gu Hang established five Zhongsi colleges and five comprehensive colleges in Mingyan City.

The cost of the academy is not that big. Just find a building on site and transfer some instructors and lecturers from Nuo Xiaoxing. The cost of gift points is only one thousand points, which is just like a drop of rain for Gu Hang, who holds millions of gift points.

However, personnel training is a big problem.

The original number of administrative bureaucrats and civil servants in Yancheng was almost two million. It looks like a huge amount, but in fact it's not enough.

In Gu Hang's plan, the number of civil servants is to be expanded to at least 0.3% of the total population - which means 1200 million civil servants. Even if it is a settlement form such as the hive city, the population density is extremely high, and the corresponding number of civil servants can be greatly reduced, but it still needs to reach at least seven to eight million people to ensure the control of the entire hive city and to be able to control the entire hive city. Just as Hang wished.

No matter what, the current two million administrative staff are definitely not enough. Not to mention, there are still a lot of scum among these two million people.

This is Oceana's job. She has to recruit many administrative staff to implement the alliance's administrative system.

Of course, it won’t be done in a few months. Recruiting and developing millions of reliable administrative staff cannot be accomplished overnight. In fact, even the league's current rank system implemented in Double Star cannot be copied in one go - it cannot be maintained.

However, some emergency measures can be used first.

First and foremost, it is not a question of the ability of administrative personnel, but a question of loyalty.

Gu Hang spent a full 400,000 points of gifts for this purpose.

Forty thousand administrative staff were trained in five Zhongsi colleges at a price of 10.00 per person and for a period of one week. Over the past few months, they were trained one after another.

This is considered an emergency measure.

In the future, it is impossible for every one of the millions of civil servants that Yancheng will need to go through [Military Card] training and be endowed with serious, political commissar-like loyalty.

What's more, training to become a political commissar can only ensure loyalty, but not work ability.

But emergency, yes.

Oceana's current job is this: to form 40,000 working groups with these 40,000 administrative staff as the core. These trained people will be the core role of the working group, and there will be more than 20 people in the group to assist them and be supervised by them.

And these people will sink to all areas that have been negotiated, incorporated, or cleared to carry out work.

Registering the population of the neighborhood, preaching the alliance's policies, distributing basic rations, organizing labor production, organizing trade circulation... these are their main tasks.

The most important of these is, of course, the organization of labor production.

No matter how well Gu Hang's alliance has developed over the years, it will never be able to support Koroja. There are too many people on this planet, and they will eventually have to rely on themselves to feed themselves.

These so-called labor production and trade circulation mainly depend on what is actually going on in these neighborhoods. But to be honest, there are very few places with decent industries in Disi District and Xiachao District.

But it doesn’t matter, if there is, then nationalize it and keep doing it. The treatment of workers is guaranteed and the efficiency of the enterprise is ensured. The income generated is distributed to the workers in accordance with the alliance's rank policy, and the remaining part is turned over.

Where there is no such thing, that is another line of work led by Oceana: industrial transfer.

In the past few months, one starship after another has arrived from the Raging Owl Star. Many industries that were considered suitable for development in Koluojia during preliminary research will have a large number of industrial lines demolished if there is overflow of production capacity on Nuo Xiao.

For this reason, the Raging Star has been very busy recently. Many production lines that had been sealed in Wu Jiarong's research institute and pulled out of the black box of the mother machine, but could not be put into production due to problems with raw materials, the number of workers, and the industrial structure, were all sent to Gu's Trading Company's transport ship and shipped to the science and technology department. Luo Jialai.

The most typical of these are some low-end military industries. Rifles, bullets, towed artillery, artillery shells, bulletproof inserts... these relatively low-tech industries are just right for the managed neighborhoods in Mingyan City.

In addition, there is another particularly important industry, which is the synthetic starch production line and the corresponding supporting organic waste recycling.

I won’t go into details about what exactly organic fertilizer is, as it is difficult to accept.

Although, the farm mechanization reforms in the Qinggu area of ​​​​Wrathful Owl and Black Arrow in recent years have allowed these two planets to have a bumper harvest and sufficient food reserves. However, on the one hand, the food transported must be used sparingly, and it is unrealistic to rely solely on external transportation; on the other hand, the alliance cannot invest all the food in Koroja, so strategic reserves are still needed.

In the environment of Diji District, Mingyan City, there is no way to feed so many people and use synthetic starch on a large scale.

Then again, regardless of what the raw materials are, the synthetic starch produced after the process is the same.

In fact, there are many neighborhoods that have no industrial development, and the alliance has also sent some industries that can barely be considered mid-range.

The two automobile industries of Iron Bull and Ranger; engineering machine manufacturing; Edifier armored vehicle production line; metal scrap collection, processing and smelting...

These industrial lines require a larger number of workers, and often a large heavy factory can be built at once, which can absorb workers from multiple neighborhoods.

This is not all done to support the construction of Mingyan City. For large industries, relocating to more densely populated and lower-cost places is also beneficial in itself. It can significantly reduce costs and significantly improve the progress of production expansion.

To be honest, the implementation working group investigated and found that there was nothing good for development in the area, and they could not apply for alliance-supported production lines. There were other ways.

One thing is that you can work across neighborhoods. Relying on a large factory, one person from each household can enter, and given a certain rank, you can barely support your family without starving to death.

What's more, there is no need for everyone to work in factories. The remaining people work in canteens, clothing, catering, transportation teams, construction workers, and a series of service-based spin-off industries.

If there is no other way, then the remaining population of the entire neighborhood will be relocated.

Of course, this also requires screening.

No problem, just migrate directly to the Raging Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star. There are still a large number of unpopulated vacancies on these two planets.

In Gu Hang's view, although the nest city is a special city built specifically to accommodate high-density people, the density is too high. Koruga's environment has long been unable to bear it. Large-scale migration of the Koroga population to other planets in the Alliance will be a long-term policy in the future.

However, not everyone can migrate to the double stars.

For example, some neighborhoods are places where cult activities are particularly serious. After serious cleaning up, the remaining people who are indeed not too poisoned, but who did believe in cults in the past, will be sent to the immigration base - this is called Yancheng. There was originally a huge facility inside, which was specially used to temporarily house the tax collectors when the imperial tax was due.

These people will be used to pay taxes the next time the Imperial Tax Fleet visits - although Koroga does not need to pay taxes now, he can still pay them. After paying, he can just exchange them for tax coins.

……

These are Gu Hang's fundamental methods to end the security war: economic development.

With enough food to eat and life to go, the people are so full that they have to use their flesh and blood to fight against the guns and guns of the Astra Militarum and the Salvation Army?
