Chapter 372, on the right track

Lieutenant General Hans cursed when he was asked to split his troops into two different hives thousands of kilometers apart to carry out military control tasks.

But he soon stopped scolding.

Because the 'care' from Governor Gu arrived before the army set off.

The 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion had more than million people, and basically all of them smashed into Koroja. In the past few years of war, their personnel and equipment supplies were all provided by the Fachers family - of course, they said they were provided, but they actually had to report to the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Ministry of Military Affairs will not give any money, and it will be regarded as a tax deduction.

For most planets, raising an Astra Militarum is a very cost-effective thing. Anyway, you have to pay taxes, so why not raise soldiers? If you raise soldiers, you can deduct taxes. After raising the soldiers, you will still be under your control. What's wrong with this?

The premise is that this army must be controlled.

An accident would cause the entire 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion to be unable to return to Koruga.

And if Gu Hang wants to keep this army, of course he has to do something.

In the last war, the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion lost almost three million.

Gu Hang had replenished all these personnel in one go - the three million recruits recently recruited from the Koluga mainland.

When he first heard the news, especially when he heard about the source of these troops, Lieutenant General Hans was furious.

But when he saw these soldiers, he shut up.

The quality of the soldiers is definitely above the standard, even much better than when they were in Faches Three Stars.

The recruits Fachus provided to his Legion were drawn from their Planetary Defense Forces. Often, those soldiers have served in the Planetary Defense Force for more than two years and have undergone formal military training.

But despite this, it is already good if 20% of the soldiers can reach the standard level of the Astra Militarum. The remaining 80% requires further training. This also means that the quality of the entire Dragon Eagle 3 Legion's soldiers, so far, is about 60% able to meet the standard level of the Astra Militarum, and the remaining 40% is actually not up to standard.

However, Lieutenant General Hans sent people to personally review the three million troops provided by Governor Gu, and almost 100% of them met the standards.

When he got this result, he didn't believe it at first.

Who can believe this?

He couldn't help but wonder if his confidant had been bribed by Governor Gu?

Then, he went for a random inspection himself, and he had to admit that it was all true.

How did Governor Gu find so many qualified soldiers from Koluojia?

Hans said he had a hard time understanding.

Moreover, Governor Gu provided more than just soldiers.

Among these three million people, a group army was directly formed, 25 full-scale infantry divisions, each with 4.4 people, adopting the alliance's large infantry division organization.

This organization only appeared during the Kologa War. Li Kexi reported to his superiors, discussed with Yan Fangxu, and then reported it to Thaddeus, who jointly developed the organization.

A small division is indeed not enough on the battlefield of Koroga. The Armored Combined Brigade is not bad, after all, it is an elite armored force and a powerful assault force. However, when an infantry division faces a particularly high-intensity and wide-width battlefield, the alliance's previous size of about 14,000 men is indeed not enough.

This also forced us to compromise with the actual situation and create a "large infantry division" that was different from the conventional "infantry division".

However, the Alliance's large infantry divisions are slightly different from the divisions within the Dragon Eagle Legion. Although the number of personnel is similar, the number of firepower weapons and vehicles possessed by the alliance's large infantry division is stronger than that of the Dragon Eagle Legion.

There are more artillery, equipped with more infantry weapons, melta bombs, heavy bolters, plasma guns, infantry howitzers... these are all delegated to the company. Moreover, the equipped personnel carriers are also sufficient. Any infantry division does not require the cooperation of any logistics troops. It can be fully motorized only at the division level.

This also means that the cost of a large infantry division organized by the alliance has reached 88.6 tax coins. 25 divisions is more than million tax coins.

Hans looked at this new army group and could only pinch his nose and say, "It smells really good."

Although this group army is a pure infantry artillery unit and lacks armor strength, it is still more powerful than other infantry group armies in his army.

The remaining two million people were dispersed and added to the corps, divisions, and regiments of his legion that were not full of members.

So far, what else is Hans dissatisfied with?

A real three million high-quality soldiers, a real group army fully staffed and fully equipped, without any discounts. He had never even experienced this kind of treatment in the past.

He even hesitantly called Governor Gu and vaguely mentioned, would this be... bad?

Brother, when you supply and replenish the Astra Militarum, do you really make no money at all?

You mix some water in the personnel, and these three million people are matched with three million whose training levels are not up to standard; you also mix some water in the equipment, and falsely report some numbers.

These three million people are not a matter of 50 million tax coins. Why don't they also have to report to the Ministry of Military Affairs for 100 million tax coins?

Although the Ministry of Military Affairs will not actually give you the money, if you owe it, your alliance will not have to pay taxes for four years.

Why are you so sincere?

In this regard, Gu Hang’s answer is:

"Lieutenant General Hans, I must seriously criticize you. How can you have such disloyal thoughts?"

"I treat your legion as my own."

"You are fighting hard on my planet. Of course I will give you support without any discount."

After hearing this, Hans felt so ashamed that when he led the team to leave Mingyan City and go to the other two hives, he was too embarrassed to complain any more.

……

Of course, the situation in Mingyan City cannot be considered completely settled.

In the past two days, more than a dozen vicious incidents have been reported, including looting supplies, destroying construction sites, and attacking surrendered people...

Winning the trust of the people and dismantling the evil forces will still take time. It is not that once the policy is promulgated and implemented, everything will be eliminated immediately.

Regardless of the fact that the establishment of the administrative system and the organization of labor and production are all in full swing, the overall situation is considered smooth. But in fact, this is all based on the previous effective military control.

Now that martial law is still being maintained, vicious incidents will still happen occasionally; once martial law is stopped, the police and security forces have not yet been established, and the administrative system and economic system that have just improved will soon become difficult to operate.

Gu Hang had no intention of ending martial law.

Twenty million members of the Salvation Army still remain in Mingyan City, performing regulatory tasks; at the same time, the scale of the Salvation Army needs to be further expanded. On the one hand, it absorbs the employed population, and on the other hand, the expansion of the army itself is Gu Hang's requirement.

However, since the situation is improving, there is no need to retain so many troops.

The Astra Militarum withdrew, and together with some administrative staff, began to head towards the two surrounding hives.

The two hive cities are estimated to have a population of about one billion, and are about 1,500 kilometers away from Mingyan City. Each of them has several million local defense troops, responsible for suppressing the local area. The planetary government's orders requiring each hive capital to carry out the clearing operation of the bottom and lower hive areas were also conveyed, but the effect was very insignificant.

Although alliance officials are stationed in the remaining thirty-eight hives, on average each hive only has a working group of a few dozen people. It is difficult to take over government power. Those veteran local influencers are not vegetarians.

In fact, the mission Gu Hang gave them was not to take over the city.

If you can't do it, just take it slow and don't rush. Even at this stage, Koroga's original administrative system was still operating under Gu Hang's instructions, which was equivalent to reaching a considerable degree of compromise with the powerful people in other hives.

Let the hive cities operate first, and let the alliance government, which is still in the name of the planetary government for the time being, issue some political orders to these hive cities, that will be fine.

As for the spring breeze of reform, there is no rush to blow it across the world.

Gu Hang wanted to set a good example in Mingyan City first, and also train enough administrative staff.

But there is one thing that must be controlled now.

military power.

Gu Hang didn't believe that those powerful people would rebel head-on, at least not until his butcher knife fell on their heads.

The powerful are different from the rebels and gangs in Diji District and Xiachao District. Their wealth and power cannot be separated from the official system.

But no one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

What Gu Hang wants is to ensure that even if these people are really desperate, they will not be afraid.

Military power is the top priority.

In this matter, Gu Xing was already prepared.

At its peak, Koroga's planetary defense force reached 1.5 million people. Even after a war and tens of millions more people were reorganized into the Salvation Army, there are still million people. These troops are scattered among the major hives and are the main force stationed to suppress the local area.

But these troops also have inextricable relationships with the powerful people in their respective hives, at least closer than Gu Hang, the foreign governor.

In order to solve this problem, Gu Hang had laid the groundwork as early as the end of the previous battle.

When the various planetary defense forces were transferred back, they were transferred to locations that were not their original locations. Moreover, the troops in each nest capital also underwent a round of major defense changes.

At the time, it didn't cause a particularly big reaction.

First, when the world was in danger, those powerful people had no intention of resisting. All they thought about at that time was to save their lives.

Secondly, Gu Hang made such a decision as the commander-in-chief of the war zone, and the local dignitaries were unable to resist.

Thirdly, in order to prevent the powerful from colluding with the army, there is a tradition in Koroga that the army changes its defenses to other places, and this happens every few years.

What Gu Hang did was not unusual.

After the defense change, it would take time for the local dignitaries to reconnect with the army.

The most important goal of the working groups that Gu Hang sent out to various hives was to control the army before the local dignitaries could connect with the army.

And they have some inherent advantages.

The Angry Bear Legion and the Salvation Army will each allocate a part of their team to go with them to other hives. This can be regarded as a force to suppress the situation.

Moreover, when the local defense forces gathered during the last war, Gu Hang deliberately placed them in them and subdued some of his own people. These people will also help various working groups control the troops.

Overall, it's certainly not easy to do, but it's still quite feasible.

Because these working groups hold the two most important weapons in their hands:

The Dragon Eagle Legion led by Lieutenant General Hans will not stay in one nest for too long and will no longer enforce strict military control like the one in Mingyan City. What he wants to do is to take the troops on a 'tour' throughout the planet, calm down the alliance officials stationed in each hive, and help them control the troops.

In addition, the logistics supplies, personnel appointments, and officer promotions of the planetary defense forces in each hive are still in the hands of the new government.

Make good use of these conditions, be cautious, work conscientiously, and with the right to control the army, the problem should not be big.

As for when the reforms that took place in Mingyan City will be promoted to all hives... then we have to wait until the reforms in Mingyan City take effect.

Once this is done, and the Salvation Army in Gu Hang's hands has expanded to a stronger level and can implement military control in all hives around the world, it is time to carry out global reforms.

At that time, all opposition forces on the planet will be paper tigers.

The upper class will see the example of Mingyancheng. Those who cooperate with the new government can be integrated into the new government, obtain high ranks, and retain their identity and status. It is inevitable that their treatment will be reduced, but in general It's still a high-ranking position. It’s just a matter of changing your mindset, accepting the league’s rules, and working in the league’s way.

Those who do not cooperate or engage in sabotage secretly will receive the harshest iron fist.

……

At this point, Gu Hang felt relatively relaxed.

In fact, the government's work is still very many and arduous. But it was obvious that Gu Hang could not single-handedly rule the alliance, which now had an extremely large population. More of his work is still in the design of general direction and system architecture. The specific work will be implemented by the government. Multiple levels of government agencies, with millions or even tens of millions of civil servants, are responsible for carrying out his will.

Oceana has already submitted a timetable to Gu Hang.

The first milestone for the successful reform of Mingyan City is to enable Mingyan City to get rid of its dependence on assistance from Angry Owl Star and Black Arrow Star within one year, and be able to export resources to the outside world.

Of course, this dependence refers to aid dependence, and normal trade is not included in this. Koluga's food demand is huge. Even with recycling technology and synthetic starch technology being used on a large scale, it is still not enough.

Synthetic starch also requires raw materials.

Normal imports are on the one hand, but mainly in addition to imports, Mingyancheng can solve part of its food needs by itself - such as using soilless farm technology. Moreover, the value of the industrial products produced can be worth the daily necessities consumption of four billion people.

As long as this is achieved, the reform will be considered a success.

The next thing is to continue to improve productivity, continue to improve people's living standards, and export resources to help other hive cities carry out reforms.

If Mingyan City directly exports various resources needed for reform, it obviously means that the entire Koluojia will be on the right track designed by Gu Hang.
