Chapter 417: Do you still want to collect imperial taxes?

Chapter 417: Do you still want to collect imperial taxes?
Is Gu Hang using the war to expand the alliance's influence?
Objectively speaking, yes;
Subjectively, he does have thoughts in this regard.

However, he has a clear conscience about it.

In this matter, he thought he was doing the 'right thing'.

With the situation in the Star Territory eroding and even the Yunluo Star Territory itself unable to protect itself, Qima Di could not count on external support at least in the short term.

If the situation in the Star Territory deteriorates to a certain extent, the threat of the Iron Teeth Clan will definitely be greatly increased by the Empire. At that time, it may not even be just the troops from the Eastern Space Region. The empire may directly form an expeditionary force to quell the disaster in the Dragon Eagle Star Region.

However, that will be a long wait.

Based on Gu Hang's understanding of the empire's reaction speed, he was very unprepared that the empire could quickly gather enough power to suppress the threat as soon as the incident broke out.

He believed that with the empire's huge size and endless military strength, the Iron Teeth Clan seemed to be in danger of annihilation in the star region and star field, but for the empire, this matter was not too big. As long as the empire wants to, it can calm things down with just one slap.

However, similar disasters are always happening in thousands of star fields within the empire.

By the time the empire reacts and gathers its forces, the entire star field may not have been destroyed.

Waaagh is the name of many things among the green-skinned orcs, originally derived from their war cry. Happiness can waagh, anger can waagh, sadness can...oh, the greenskins may not be sad.

According to Gu Hang's ability, he had even used the average-level Astrology Tower to directly contact Holy Terra before.

If someone comes in and has the strength to do something, it will be more likely to block those greenskins.

This incident originated from a phone call between Gu Hang and Yun Luoxing.

The alliance will expand its influence during this process, and that's all incidental.

Is this what is called waaagh?

It's just that I didn't tell the whole story.

By then, the support force from the Eternal Region or the Empire Center will arrive, but the Qima Land has been destroyed, so what's the point of that for Gu Hang?
He does not seek to solve the Iron Teeth Clan by himself. This will depend on the subsequent development of the war. However, to defend one's own homeland and the fruits of these years of struggle, one must integrate the forces of several surrounding star regions.

While conducting astrological communication, he could clearly sense that abnormal waves were surging in the subspace where information was transmitted. All he saw was a manic green, a very violent psychic power that was stirring the entire subspace.

Several star domain government bosses immediately connected Gu Hang's star domain communications to their offices, and such a unique meeting began.

As a result, the subspace became more violent and unpredictable, and a large amount of subspace energy shifted towards the green tide, which made astrological communication extremely difficult.

Not to mention the central part of the empire, Gu Hang felt uncertain as to when the reinforcements from the Eastern Space Region would arrive.

It should be very easy to contact Yun Luoxing.

Because of this, when Gu Hang finally got through the star language communication and contacted Yun Luoxing, the people there were also very surprised, and many people were immediately alarmed.

But now, it's difficult.

The Iron Teeth Clan launched a grand waaagh, and this waaagh energy spread throughout many star regions along with their journey.

Ever since the orc wave swept across the Star Territory, it has become very difficult to contact Yunluo Star, the capital of the Star Territory in the west, from the east of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory.

Ordinary astropaths just feel that the 'phone' cannot be connected, but Gu Hang's perception is more clear.

The head of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, Tan Jiuyi, the Chief of the Interior, Royce, the Chief of Legal Affairs, Xu Dechen, and the Chief of the Dragon Eagle Corps, General Michelle Oliqui, were all present.

As for what Gu Hang told the leaders and governors of other star regions, that he was authorized by the star region government and had the power to allocate resources from surrounding star regions to fight this war, that was not a lie.

The green tide energy churning in the subspace is very malicious towards other energies. It is really difficult to break through all the obstacles and contact other places.

They are also eager to know what is going on in the eastern part of the Star Territory, which has been out of contact for two months.

In fact, before Gu Hang contacted them, they had even prepared for the worst, believing that the eastern part of the Star Territory had completely collapsed.

Tan Jiuyi told Gu Hang clearly:
"Your call is the only good news I've heard recently."

Then, the two sides exchanged a wave of information.

The situation in the eastern part of the Star Territory is like this. The focus is on the Battle of Steel Wing Star. The battle is still going on, and Gu Hang will lead the team to fight in the Hippogriff Star Region soon.

The situation in the center of the Star Territory and the west of the Star Territory is even worse than in the east.

More than a dozen star districts were all caught in the flames of war. Most of the star regions were rapidly invaded by the Iron Teeth Clan. Like sowing seeds, the green-skinned orcs spread green-skinned troops one after another to various planets, started battles with local human armies, and tried to build their own green-skinned ecosystem.

But these can only be regarded as 'minor problems'.

The bigger problem is the main green-skinned force led by Titus, the Iron-Toothed Warchief.

At present, it seems that they have more than 600 warships. Among them, Titus's largest warship has surpassed the flagship of the Yunluo fleet, the battlecruiser 'Dragon Eagle'.

Including the more than 400 warships in the east of the Star Territory, the Star Territory Government cannot figure out how these greenskins managed to accumulate so many ships in the four star districts they originally occupied.

If they are just junk ships and rotten ships, then forget it, the key is the super powerful flagship!
Could it be that in the past few decades, the Iron Teeth clan has been dormant and holding back its ultimate move?
This is not in line with the character of the green-skinned orcs!
Before, they didn't even have a unified chief. If they were fighting against each other, their warships might not be enough for the civil war. How could they save so many?

The Star Territory Government has not yet figured out the reason.

But this does not prevent them from trying to deal with the current crisis for the time being.

The greatest effort made by the Star Territory Government was to reach an agreement with the Foundry General of Jin Di Star, the senior leader of the Mingyang Sect.

The two sides have already cooperated quite closely. Jindi Star and Yunluo Star District are directly connected by a star tunnel. The two also hit it off on the goal of fighting the green-skinned orcs.

At Tan Jiuyi's personal request, the Mingyang Sect's security army and fleet set off. They had a brief battle with the vanguard of the greenskin fleet. The Mingyang Sect has invested a lot of money, and the lifeblood of Jindi Star, a 'Mechanical Ark', has gone directly to the battle.

They defeated the vanguard of the greenskin fleet and relieved the Yunluo fleet from the dilemma of being pursued.

At this point, the Yunluo fleet was finally able to turn around and gather the team.

Several scattered ship groups were reassembled.

After the inventory, the size of the Yunluo fleet was only about 30% of its original size.

Fortunately, the flagship battlecruiser Dragon Eagle still exists, as well as four cruisers and two light cruisers.

Including the Mingyang Sect's 'Mechanical Ark', the human side's naval force has finally regrouped.

But the pressure is still great.

Titus's main force has received the news.

The green-skinned main fleet that he personally led had entered the Snow Eagle Star District from the Cursed Bone Star District.

From the Snow Eagle Star District, there are two roads, one can enter the Steel Fire Dragon Star District where Jin Di Star is located, and the other is the Yunluo Star District, the capital of the Star Territory.

Now, we still don’t know what choice that terrifying beast will make.

But no matter which option it is, it is destined to be a fierce battle.

The Mingyang Sect's Guardian Fleet and the Yunluo Fleet combined together, with a total of four hundred ships, may still not be a match for the green-skinned main fleet.

Tan Jiuyi raised a question to Gu Hang: Is it possible for the Pegasus fleet and the naval force gathered by the alliance to arrive in the Yunluo star area as soon as possible to help in the battle?
He even helped Gu Hang think out their marching route 'intimately'.

It is certainly unrealistic to come directly from the Iron Teeth Clan's march route, but in the southernmost circle of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, the Iron Teeth Clan's soldiers have not yet reached it.

You can walk from Kenma Star Area to Black Bone Ridge. There are traces of green skins appearing in the Black Bone Ridge star area, and multiple planets have been invaded, but the strength of the green skin fleet should not be strong. As long as you get through the Black Bone Ridge and then go to the Bald Eagle and Fire Eagle, you can directly reach the southern part of the Yunluo Star District and enter relatively safely.

Upon hearing this suggestion, Gu Hang suddenly increased the signal strength of the star language communication and showed his face in front of these high-ranking star officials. He kept a polite smile on his face and stared straight at everyone without saying whether he agreed or not.

It wasn't until Tan Jiuyi coughed twice and unnaturally skipped the topic that Gu Hang's gaze ended.

I don’t know how the head of the Star Territory came up with such an outrageous suggestion.

Your brain gets muddled under pressure, right?

Lois quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Lieutenant General Tielemans has done a good job. It would also be great if we could hold the Steel Wing Star. Gu Hang, you must also fully cooperate with the Pegasus fleet and the defense operations of the Eagle Horse sector. If you can defend the Steel Wings in the eastern part of the star field, , attracting as many enemies as possible, then it will be considered a great achievement."

Gu Hang was still smiling: "Of course, I will do that. In fact, I have promised that I will personally lead my army, as well as the more than two hundred ships I have collected, and the alliance's hundreds of millions of army soldiers, Will go to Steel Wing Star to join the battle."

When he said this, he deliberately skipped the so-called 'cooperation'.

Then, some of his requests further revealed his goal: "However, protecting the eastern part of the satellite domain and attracting the attention of the Iron Teeth Clan as much as possible is not a matter for the Alliance alone, but for the entire planet. Matters within the domain. At present, due to the invasion of green-skinned aliens, most of the star domain is caught in the flames of war. The east and west parts of the star domain are isolated, making communication very difficult."

"Because of this, I hope to gain greater autonomy in the eastern part of the star field."

"In the many worlds and star sectors in the eastern part of the star field, I want to establish a unified front against the greenskins, sign an agreement, become one with each other, and help each other. All planetary defense forces, all planetary governments, sector governments, and business councils at all levels All the ships owned by the team will operate under unified deployment to fight against the Iron Teeth Clan."

"The imperial tax in the eastern part of the Star Territory has been cut off and cannot be sent to the capital of the Star Territory. I want to temporarily replace the Star Territory Tax Department's work of collecting imperial taxes in the Qima region and all occupied areas in the Star Territory. All collections will be done All the tax revenue will be used for this war, and the relevant accounts will be fully prepared, and there will be no misappropriation."

After Gu Hang finished speaking, the big bosses of the Star Territory Government fell silent.

At first, when Gu Hang talked about autonomy, they could continue to listen, but the next two 'I want's were more exaggerated than the other.

A unified agreement... Will the ambitious Gu Hang finally expand his alliance beyond the Tianma Star Region?

This matter is a voice that has always been heard within the Star Territory Government.

When the Space Territory Government inexplicably approved a multi-star political alliance 'alliance', many officials in the Star Territory Government would murmur.

After all, although it is not without precedent, it is somewhat unconventional.

And as the scale of the alliance expanded, even until it occupied the entire Pegasus star region, it was not just a murmur, but a serious vigilance.

Many Star Territory officials have carefully studied the history of the alliance and believe that this alliance with a very tight internal structure cannot expand any further, otherwise it will affect the authority of the entire Star Territory and create a potential threat that is too big to lose.

However, the alliance has been very honest over the years.

Now, he finally took advantage of the war to show his fangs and take advantage of it?
Isn't your so-called "mutual unity and mutual help" a replica of your alliance?

Gu Hang’s heart is known to all passersby!
Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible to agree to.

But at this critical moment, what Gu Hang said made sense.

With the help of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Star Territory Government doesn't even know if it can stop the green tide, let alone those scattered star districts in the eastern part of the Star Territory. When there is poor communication between the two sides, and only Gu Hang, a top psyker, can occasionally have the opportunity to penetrate the obstacles in the middle and conduct astrological calls, it is impossible to allow these star regions in the eastern part of the star field to communicate with each other under a powerful If we are united under the leader, how can we fight?

And if the so-called 'Seven Horse Agreement' is a special move that can be tolerated in a special period, then the imperial tax involved later is something even more difficult to accept.

Who do you think you are that dares to say something like collecting imperial taxes on your behalf?
