50 gift points bring an annual output value of 100 billion, and theoretically this increase is permanent.

Of course, if the social environment of these planets experiences major turmoil, or large-scale corruption or institutional rigidity occurs, then production reductions may still occur. But that's not a problem with the exchange options, but a problem with Gu Hang's rule.

Solve whatever needs to be resolved.

The use of the other 500,000 points of gifts in his hand is more complicated.

Two hundred thousand dollars have been spent on military training, which will produce 20 million qualified soldiers.

Now the alliance's army no longer relies solely on its military license training system for training. A considerable number of qualified soldiers are soldiers who have been trained under the qualified training mechanism established by the alliance army in the past few years. .

But that time is still relatively long. In order to ensure the combat capabilities of the corresponding units, Gu Hang still needs to supplement some qualified T5-level soldiers through training in the military card system, and increase the proportion of standard soldiers of the Astra Militarum in some corresponding units. , raised to 70% or even above 80%.

The 20 million newly trained soldiers will not be used to form new organizational numbers. They are all in the recruit training centers on various planets in the Pegasus sector, and will be sent to various units, especially the frontline units, to be replenished into the corresponding teams.

Now, among the troops deployed by the Alliance Army, some division-level units that were relatively disabled during the war have been withdrawn to rest and recuperate. These troops will receive priority in recruiting troops.

But in general, the sizes of armies and army groups are different. Some army groups have fewer corps, and some have more; the number of divisions and brigades under each corps is also uncertain. Some divisions and brigades may even be temporarily allocated during the war, when needed. place to go.

At present, the total number of the Alliance Army has reached more than 400 million, at least this is the establishment.

Of course, in order to ensure that the frontline troops have sufficient combat troops, if a division is withdrawn, the alliance will send out a division to supplement the corresponding group army.

The cost of building such a division would further reach 900 million tax coins.

In contrast, the establishment below the division level and brigade level is fixed.

There are 18 army groups here, each army group is composed of 20 army groups, with a total of 2200 million people.

One division has six hundred self-propelled artillery pieces.

Although there are only about 12500 people in number, the huge armor strength makes such a heavily armored combined brigade almost indestructible on the battlefield!

The total cost of such a division reached 1.3 million tax coins.

The current situation of division and brigade-level units in the alliance is already relatively complicated, but generally speaking, the most common ones are three types of organizations:

As for the four elite units with special designations: the 1st Quenching Brigade, the 2nd Beast Slayer Division, the 10th Special Forces Brigade, and the 31st Ace Airborne Division, it is even more unclear. The equipment and personnel configuration are different from those of other divisions and brigades. Level units are all different.

The smallest number is the 'Skeleton Division'. Such a division can actually be basically understood as a combination of an infantry division and an armored division. The total number of troops exceeds 60,000. It has stronger firepower and stronger armor. It mainly serves as a group army in a certain aspect. the most important combat mission.

Take out an air force squadron consisting of at least 60 Wind Falcons.

A single group army has approximately one million men and is composed of 25 divisions and brigades.

This is the current composition of the Alliance Army.

Those small mortars, rocket launchers, heavy explosive bombs, heavy plasma guns, melt bomb projectors and the like are not included. These weapons are generally distributed to the company and battalion levels.

This large infantry division is the well-deserved main force and backbone of the Alliance. It is the Shield and Hammer of the Alliance. With more people and fierce firepower, you can rely on them to fight tough battles and defensive battles. Once the trenches are dug and the fortifications are built, any enemy who wants to break in will have to be beaten to a pulp by the Alliance's heavy artillery before they have a chance.

The second common type of division and brigade-level unit is the heavily armored composite brigade. Eight heavy-armed combined battalions and three tank battalions are the main force. Not to mention the large number of armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, the most important ones are 8 Lion tanks, 320 Lion tanks, and the same 9 Wind Falcon fighters.

The largest is the large infantry division, which generally has about 12 people. It will be composed of 8 infantry regiments, which are the main front-line combat troops of the division; the eight attached artillery battalions behind it have heavy artillery, and there are also heavy artillery pieces in the infantry regiments. It has its own artillery support company, all equipped with self-propelled artillery.

And the cost of building such a division has skyrocketed to nearly 500 million tax coins.

What makes them different from normal division and brigade units is that a considerable proportion of their soldiers are T4 level; their infantry equipment will also be upgraded to a large proportion of laser guns and electromagnetic rifles. The number of various high-level weapons such as explosive bombs, plasma, and melt is also much higher in the hands of infantry than in ordinary troops.

It has numbers and frontal firepower, which is supported by numerous large infantry divisions; it has armor and the ability to attack fortresses, which is supported by heavy armored brigades.

The key battles are fought by the Skeleton Division. This is an elite force. Compared with the elites of any prestigious high-level Astra Militarum legion, there will be no difference in terms of equipment or training.

Unfortunately, the alliance is still not rich enough. Elite troops like the 'Skeleton Division' are not even guaranteed to be available in every army group, and there are even only one or two in each army group.

But despite this, the Alliance Army is still Gu Hang's pride, and it is the alliance's trump card that still stands today.

Even though the alliance has invested huge manpower and material resources, the most important resources and the largest amount of money have been invested in naval construction, trying to catch up and overtake in a corner. But for now, the Army remains the foundation of the Alliance.

The large infantry division can ensure that the position is not lost under the attack of the same number of greenskins; with the addition of a heavy-armored synthetic brigade, it can overwhelm twice or even three times the number of greenskin positions; facing the greenskins with heavy equipment Elite, the alliance also has enough firepower and armor to fight.

These are extremely rare.

In fact, Gu Hang can pat his chest and say that there is no second human ground force in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Territory that can compare with the Alliance Army.

Not even the Dragon Eagle Legion. There are a total of thirteen legions under the Dragon Eagle Legion, with a total number of more than one billion, which is much more than the Alliance Army, but in terms of equipment and overall training level, it is definitely inferior.

As long as the Alliance catches up in terms of naval power, or at least does not lag behind, then the strength of the Alliance's army will be able to play a major role in the cosmic battlefield.

This "not holding back" means that the navy does not have to be used to win the naval battle. As long as it can ensure that the troops can be delivered normally and the enemy cannot unscrupulously carry out orbital bombing of one's own army, that is enough.

This requirement is much simpler than obtaining control of space.

As long as this low standard is reached, the alliance's combat effectiveness can be doubled.

After all, in this cold universe, the void itself is worthless. The most important value is still on many planets.

……

In addition to the 200,000 gift points in army construction, Gu Hang also invested 150,000 gift points in talent development. It’s more complicated to use here.

The further construction of the college cost a sum of gift points. The education industry in Wing Star is already relatively developed, but it is impossible for the Alliance to really rely on Wing Star to complete all of its educational work. In Raging Owl, in Koroga, in Faches... the corresponding academy construction must also be put on the agenda.

There is also some adequate training for civilian officials.

Especially after entering the war period, the alliance launched a third-level mobilization order. Under this scale of mobilization, large-scale social unrest is unlikely, and the entire order is maintained very well, or even stronger.

However, maintaining a stronger social order requires more government governance costs. At the same time, under the mobilization order, not only did civilian production suffer setbacks, but at least its growth slowed down significantly, which will stagnate the growth of people's regular consumption and living standards. This issue also requires stronger government control and publicity. Can hold it down.

Gu Hang was very wary of systematic corruption occurring within the alliance without him being aware of it. The more critical this moment is, the more careful we must be about pervasive corruption.

Under his request, on the one hand, the government system must conduct self-examination and self-correction to ensure that there is no such thing as "the system forces people to be corrupt", "has to do wrong things for the sake of superiors' indicators and performance", "ensure core goals" and the consistency of specific policies', 'ensuring the consistency of goals among the government, officials, and the people'...

In general, a good system makes people do good things; a bad system makes people have to do bad things.

These have put forward higher management requirements for the alliance government. It must be vigilant and adjust at all times, and it needs to rely on continuous institutional reforms to maintain the vitality of the system.

But all reforms and internal adjustments require people to implement them.

In terms of personnel quality, the regular education system is of course the most important aspect. However, directly training the loyalty of key personnel in key positions through Zhongsi Academy is a guarantee of the lower limit.

Let alone whether there are problems with the system, we first need to ensure that there are no problems with the people who reform the system and implement it. Without the latter, the former is out of the question.

In addition to the educational foundation and civil service training, Gu Hang also invested a lot in personnel, which was placed on the special front.

The alliance's demand for intelligence becomes more and more important as its size expands.

The legal center system under the jurisdiction of Justice Lambert exists independently of the federal government. Below him, the General Police Department, the General Security Administration, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption are all agencies with internal intelligence functions, but there are certain differences in functions.

The Police Department is responsible for civilian cases, focusing on public security and stability maintenance; the Independent Commission Against Corruption is responsible for anti-corruption work for government officials and state-owned enterprises; and the Union Security and Security Administration is responsible for counter-espionage, anti-subversion, and supervision and combat against insurgents.

Needless to say about the first two, the General Security Administration's presence in the alliance has never been high, but in fact there are still a lot of secret actions.

The society of the Alliance has always been very stable. This is not only because after the Alliance gained the right to rule the entire Pegasus sector, the living standards of the people rose instead of falling. Various local forces were either tied to the Alliance's chariot, or else He suffered an iron fist and was beaten to ashes.

But it won't be completely clean.

There are always some remnants. For example, the royalists in the old kingdoms of the Black Arrow Star, the remaining old gangs and old bureaucrats in Koroga, the remnants of the Fachers family, the nationalized old business owners of the Winged Star... and their sympathizers and supporters They always exist.

Some of them were beaten with iron fists, but not cleanly; some of them pretended to get on the alliance's car and were secretly supporting the remaining elements.

Of course these guys don't dare to take action openly.

If you jump out, you will die. Under the strong, unified, and strict rule of the alliance, under the strong military power and the general trust of the people, direct rebellion and confrontation are just eggs and stones.

However, this does not mean that the hatred and willingness to resist in their hearts will be completely lost.

Rumors, incitement, going on strike, using weapons in private to incite people to riot, packaging individual tragic cases of individual people (which is inevitable in a society of 60 billion) as faults of alliance rule and publicizing them in private...

In fact, such gutter methods have never been stopped.

The main task of the General Security Administration over the past few years has been to fight against this thing.

As for the internal intelligence organizations, there is also the Military Security Bureau under the Military Affairs Center led by Thaddeus, which is also responsible for counter-intelligence and counter-insurgency, but is more focused on the military aspect; and the Gendarmerie Headquarters, which is led by the Gendarmerie Political Commissar and is responsible for internal military discipline;
In terms of government agencies, there is also the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for self-examination and self-rectification on the government side and the suppression of traitors.

Ling Ling Zongzong, three in the Legal Affairs Center, two in the Military Affairs Center, and one in the government, a total of six departments with clear internal supervision and management responsibilities. Their powers have different focuses but overlap with each other, and they can supervise each other.

These agencies all need special personnel with investigation and special service skills, that is, special agents.

In addition to the internal intelligence organizations, there are three major external intelligence organizations: the External Intelligence Bureau under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Military Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Central Bureau of Investigation of the Legal Affairs Center.

The military aspect is actually pretty good. Whether within the team or externally, the current deployment of political commissars and special forces units from each unit as force support is basically sufficient.

However, non-military intelligence agents still need to be trained, and the alliance has a relatively large personnel gap in this area.

The first priority for these personnel is loyalty, which is mainly solved by the training of Zhongsi Academy and the direct training provided by Gu Hang's 10-point gift to one person. However, training in skills and techniques relies heavily on the alliance's own training. Gu Hang's current troop exchange options do not have such things.

But the good news is that for this type of work, quality is more expensive than quality.

Gu Hang couldn't give the alliance's intelligence personnel, both internal and external, the full details of his capabilities, but he had a way to improve his capabilities: hero activation.

Currently, with a population of more than 60 billion in the Alliance, there are already tens of millions of people with heroic potential that can be activated. Gu Hang couldn't activate all of these people, but he could activate them in a targeted manner.

For example, if the efficiency of the shipyard needs to be improved, Gu Hang can filter out all the shipyard engineers, see how many potential heroes can be activated, and selectively activate some of them; the same is true for special agent talents.

Although, it is possible that although this person is currently working as an agent, his greatest potential is not actually there. However, this probability is always low. Those who can become agents under the strict recruitment, training, and assessment of the eight major departments will most likely have special expertise in the field of agents.

Occasionally, if you really want to go wrong, then let's go wrong. Anyway, 10 points of gifts to activate a potential hero is not expensive. What is more expensive is the subsequent upgrade, but it can also allow them to accumulate experience and gradually improve themselves.

In short, Gu Hang spent a total of 20 gift points on the construction of the academy and the hero activation of agent talents and ship engineers.

He took the remaining 10 and prepared to draw a 10-level technology.
