Chapter 463: Those who lose are war criminals, and only the weak will commit treason.

What Kazimierz Erso called 'prodding' was more than just thinking about it.

He definitely took action.

A squadron, carrying a company of Space Marines, was on its way to the Seven Horses.

It would definitely be impossible to go directly, because the path was blocked by greenskins on the road. If you want to go to Qimadi, you have to go through a big circle.

In this sense, the two sides are not actually completely separated. After all, it cannot be said that the two other star regions to the south and east are not imperial territories.

But how are the star fields delimited?

In the real universe, the physical distance between two different galaxies is very far. For human ships that can only travel at sub-light speed at most, they do not have the conditions to pass and can only rely on astral tunnels to jump. Across the hopeless astronomical distances of the physical universe.

This means that two adjacent galaxies on the star map, no matter how far apart they are physically, as long as there is a star tunnel connecting them, then these two worlds are called adjacent worlds on the star map, and are then drawn on Together.

The connection between star regions also has the same logic. As long as the galaxies in the star area are connected to another galaxy, they will definitely be drawn together; however, it should be noted that the reverse is not necessarily true. For the sake of completeness of star map drawing, sometimes two adjacent worlds are drawn together just because it is complete and convenient to draw, and they are not actually directly connected.

The Black Bone Ridge star area is a conflict star area. Humans and green-skinned orcs are still fighting in the star area, but it is not the main battlefield and the fighting is not fierce. The government of the Carved Silk Star Territory in the south was still a little panicked when they saw their neighbor in the north being beaten to such an extent. They also had their own problems to solve in the star domain, but they still squeezed out some of their strength to help defend the Black Bone Ridge. The main reason was that they were afraid that the Iron Teeth clan would go south along the Black Bone Ridge and bring the flames of war to their own home.

Humanity took the initiative to demarcate this area connected by a large number of astral tunnels into a star field. And often, the connection between such an area and another star field will suddenly be reduced to only one or two.

There is no way to get there from Black Bone Ridge, so we can only choose the Fire Eagle Sector.

He led the team to the Pegasus sector and met with Cordoba Javier, the commander of Gu Hang's seventh company of the Raging Flames, with a military order in his hand.

This is the only road, and it is very circuitous. Even if it is a Clippers trip, it will take three or four months.

It's nonsense, but there is no way.

The Alliance doesn't seem to be an obedient one, let alone the Phoenix, which is even more vindictive.

……

Of course not by force.

Within the scope of the star field, the transportation of the star tunnel is quite extensive. As long as you are within a star field, you can always find a way to another star field through various routes and different detours.

They had already set off, so they should have arrived by now.

However, there are differences between star fields and star fields.

But no matter what, as long as the star areas are next to each other on the map, they are not too far away and there is no direct connection. You can always jump to them by jumping twice from other star areas. Otherwise it wouldn't be that close.

On the star map, to the south of the Dragon Eagle Star Region is the Carved Silk Star Region. On the map, it looks like there is a large border between the two star domains, but in fact, there are only two star tunnels between the two star domains. One is in the Black Bone Ridge Star Region, and the other is in the Fire Eagle Star Region.

They won't be so obedient.

Of course, Erso doesn't think that just relying on Space Marines with less than 100 Fury Flames can make the Alliance enter the war 'more seriously'.

From the Fire Eagle Star Region in the south of the Yunluo Star Region, transfer to the Silk Carving Star Region in the south. Then, from west to east, it spans almost the entire Carved Silk Star Territory, heading north into the East Star Territory. There is a star tunnel between the Bianma Star Region and the East Star Region, which can enter the Qima Land.

This order, which clearly has the legal effect of the empire, is the key.

All we can do is use some powerful means.

"Captain Kazimierz Erso, the top person in charge of the Dragon Eagle Theater, in the name of the theater commander, requires our unit to attack the Jinguan Star Area with all our strength?"

The team sent by Erso took this route.

"The order requires me to end the Battle of Temir and win within two months; within four months, bring the war to the Yinguan star area and form an effective blow to the hinterland of the iron-toothed green-skinned aliens?"

"The order requires us not to delay, and every goal must not be discussed. Otherwise, I, Gu Hang himself, and the political entity of the alliance will bear unshirkable responsibility for the failure of the entire war. The highest penalty is the death penalty for me. And dissolve the alliance as a political entity?”

"When necessary, Javier Cordoba, the commander of the Fury Chapter dispatched to the Pegasus Sector, can take over all military forces in the Seven Horses. When needed, from the Phoenix Chapter to the Alliance forces, from the Empire The navy, the Astra Militarum, and the planetary defense forces of a total of 88 worlds in Qimadi should all accept all his orders unconditionally? "

Gu Hang looked at the copy of the order given to him by Captain Cordoba of the Raging Flames in his hand. He didn't even feel angry, he just wanted to laugh.

About half a month ago, news came from Border Horse III that Javier Cordoba and the company of the Raging Flames Chapter he led entered the Border Horse sector and came all the way to the hinterland of the alliance.

He came with the order from the Dragon Eagle Theater Supreme Headquarters, and he was the company commander of the famous Space Marine Chapter. No one dared to stop him along the way.

The league did not issue an order to intercept.

In this way, he came to Feiyi Star unimpeded.

They refused to leave the ship, and Cordoba instead asked Governor Gu Hang to board the ship to meet with him.

Arrogant Space Marine, totally clueless.

Gu Hangli ignored him and treated him like a bunch of strangers.

He usually does whatever he has to do, but he is very busy now. The alliance has spent a total of three years in this war, and in the past two years, it can be said that it has found a rhythm that suits itself.

According to China Airlines' own summary, it is to seek development in a protracted war; on the basis of stabilizing the front and safeguarding the safety of the seven-horse territory, it will accelerate the integration of the seven-horse territory and strengthen the overall strength of the alliance.

In general, all imperial taxes payable in Qima Di should completely cover all war expenditures; all government fiscal revenue in Qima Di should be focused on investing in the development of Qima Di, especially its military potential. development.

Moreover, the Alliance's control over the seven-horse land has expanded from the first nine worlds to thirty-two worlds through the proliferation of the "Economic Association Act." All nine of the first batch have reached vassal level LV5, and half of the twenty-three in the second batch have reached LV5.

This means that the alliance's control over them is already quite strong, and even these planets that have reached the LV5 vassal level can almost be regarded as the core territory of the alliance in another sense.

Moreover, in these worlds, the total production value of the planet has increased by at least 30% in the past two years, and the most has even more than doubled. A planet that has doubled in size is not a small planet. Little General Star 6 in the Iron Horse Sector is an abandoned fortress world with a population of two billion. Originally it had great military significance, but now it has no military value. The situation is somewhat similar to the previous Steel Wing Star.

After signing the EC Act, civilian and industrial transformation was carried out in full swing on Little General No. 6. The original production potential was greatly tapped, especially those abandoned fortresses that were dismantled and a lot of fine gold could be recovered. Raw materials; the planet itself also has a certain industrial base. Many of the mothballed military factories were abandoned before, and the local planets were unable to develop them. But in the hands of the Alliance, these are not problems.

As of the latest report, the planet's gross product value has doubled, and per capita product value has increased from less than 0.7 to 1.5.

It is not only the worlds that have signed the Economic Community Act that have developed. Other worlds in the seven horse territories, even the worlds that have signed this treaty before the Alliance has had time to develop, are also stimulated by the strong demand of the war and under the Alliance. Among the leading economic and trade, we have obtained the dividends of economic development and achieved certain economic growth.

Not to mention the alliance's homeland, with its vigorous 'blood-sucking', tax exemption, and the support of many powerful technologies, it has further developed. Even with the drag of war, the growth rate of total economic output is estimated to be above 6% per year.

Under the superposition of these factors, in the past year, the alliance's imperial taxes and fiscal revenue left in its hands have totaled about 450 billion, which is an increase of 70 billion compared with two years ago!

Moreover, those 'vassal' worlds under the Seven Horses framework have reaped development dividends, and of course not all of the Alliance will be left to the local planets. The alliance took out about half of their fiscal revenue, which was about 50 billion, as special levies for the war.

This year, the wealth that the alliance can use has reached 50 billion tax coins.

Although the Alliance Army was constantly depleted in the Battle of Temir, it fought more and more. So far, the total scale has already reached the target two years ago, which was the 400 million mark, and will soon reach 500 million.

Under the framework of the Seven Horses, under the unified command of the Alliance, the number of Allied forces that can be mobilized by the Alliance has reached an astonishing 1.9 billion.

As for the Navy, with the expansion of the two-month-class cruiser dock, plus the original two Musician-class docks, the alliance will be able to complete four cruisers in the near future. Adding up the other destroyers and frigates, a total of More than forty ships. The value of these ships alone has reached more than 60 billion. Almost half of the alliance's revenue in the past two years has been invested in the warships.

Coupled with the original seven cruisers on the front line, the combined fleet will soon have eleven main warships.

All in all, the Alliance has its own rhythm in this war.

Gu Hang only knows how to deal with him!

Javier Cordoba was in the orbit of the Winged Star. He didn't even enter the star port. After being left alone for two days, he couldn't sit still.

Lian Fan urged Gu Hang to come see him, but all the information was like nothing if thrown away.

But he still didn't dare to land.

The company is already discussing whether to take any tough measures?
However, Cordoba himself directly rejected this idea.

Take a hammer!
They only have a small frigate-level ship and a hundred Space Marines. What can they do?

There really aren't many warships near the Flying Wing Star, most of them are on the front line. However, the combination of an armed space station and ground-based anti-orbital guns can prevent the Raging Flame warriors from making sudden moves even to the ground!

Unless their actions are sudden enough, the Winged Stars are completely defenseless.

But thinking about it with his buttocks, Governor Gu is not defenseless now.

Moreover, even if it lands, so what?
There might be five hundred phoenixes guarding the ground!

Go down there to die?

After urging him to turn over to no avail, Cordoba could only lower his posture.

Although he still didn't dare to land, he no longer asked Gu Hang to see him, but directly sent Kazimierz Erso's order to the ground.

After receiving the order, General Yan Fangxu took it over and showed it to Gu Hang.

This is what Gu Hang saw earlier that made him want to laugh.

"Order me? Does he deserve it?"

Yan Fangxu was a little hesitant. He thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty the Governor..."

Today, Gu Hang is not only the governor of the four planets, but also the head of the Tianma Sector, the leader of the Seven Horses, and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Dragon Eagle Theater. However, his most important identity is that of the leader of the alliance, and his subordinates are more accustomed to calling him the Governor.

Although, the meaning of his 'Governor' has already gone beyond the ordinary Governor.

"We still can't take this matter too lightly. The orders brought by these members of the Wrathful Flames are effective. Kazimierz Erso, the leader of the Wrathful Flames, has obtained The commander-in-chief appointed by the empire. In theory... he does have the right to mobilize our troops, and if we don't obey, he can really declare us treason. "

"Ha." Gu Hang sneered.

Yan Fangxu continued: "On this Cordoba ship, we should have brought people from the Tribunal as witnesses. If we really disobey the order, there may not be anything right now, but after these people go back, they may It can really cause us a lot of trouble.”

"So without sufficient preparation, should we really follow the requirements of this order, immediately start the final battle of the Battle of Temir, and break into the greenskin's lair within four months?"

"No, of course not!" Yan Fangxu said quickly, "Why should we do things that they can't do on the battlefield? I just... just raised this risk. I think, Mr. Governor, you must have appropriate response.”

"Actually, I don't have one." Gu Hang said with a smile, "I don't plan to have one either."

"Declare me and the alliance treason?" At this point, Gu Hang stopped smiling and said to Yan Fangxu seriously: "You have to understand that only those who lose the war are war criminals; only the weak will be declared treason. . If we really rush into battle, fail to win, and consume our own strength out of thin air, that would be a huge crime."

"If we only had the strength we had on Raging Owl, then anyone could accuse us of treason; but now, maybe someone can accuse us of treason, but the company commander of a battle group? Or Erso?"

"They don't have the qualifications."
