Chapter 477, horse racing and enclosure

After the brief conversation between Gu Hang and Erso, the two forces, each considered the largest military and political force in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, had no further high-level communication.

This is a very dangerous thing.

With such an obvious situation, anyone in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory who is a little better informed can smell an unusual smell, which makes countless people worried and even trembling with fear.

The Iron Teeth Clan was defeated as a whole here. In detail, countless worlds are still in the flames of war, and the war is not over yet. As a result, the two biggest war heroes over there are going to turn against each other and fight with each other?

Why doesn't this make people tremble?

However, although there are irreconcilable core conflicts between the Alliance and the Raging Flames, and the relationship is bad. But in fact, the two sides really have no intention of starting a direct fight - at least not in the short term.

Both of them are part of the empire no matter what. No matter how hostile they are to each other, how they wish each other to die, how they use their tactics behind the scenes, and how mercilessly they criticize them verbally, they cannot really fight each other on the battlefield.

When it comes to that step, there is a very clear term:

civil war.

The Mingyang Sect can put it aside for now. Among the three families, the Mingyang Sect is the weakest. Their core territory was damaged during the war, and they also suffered heavy losses during the war.

Gu Hang's alliance has no idea about the Mechanicus. The three star sectors they control, namely Steel Fire Dragon, Dragon Tamer, and Dragon Pass, are all at the westernmost edge of the entire star field, and are completely incompatible with the alliance's current sphere of influence. .

The Alliance and the Furious Flames are each other's biggest problem.

These planets, relying solely on their own strength, are unable to resist the crises brought about by these green skins.

Erso on the opposite side probably means the same thing.

Gu Hang didn't want to take the first shot, let alone start a civil war with Nu Yan.

Of course, no one will mess with them.

This is an estimated data, and no one can figure out the specific details now. However, the alliance intelligence department believes that this data should be relatively credible and will not deviate from the real situation by an order of magnitude.

However, in general, they have almost lost the ability to travel between the universe, and those greenskins scattered on various planets and separated from each other are not a big problem after all.

It's not that he can't win, but the key is that once the fight starts, his place will become the biggest news in the entire empire.

They participated in this strangulation operation against the greenskins purely because the greenskins threatened their survival, coupled with hatred.

The current behavior of the two families seems to be a race to gain land after the war.

These green skins are scattered in various worlds throughout the star field, some places have more of them, some places have less. But in fact, most of these worlds that have been invaded by green skins have not completely gotten rid of the influence of green skins.

Moreover, the Mechanicus has never really liked to get involved in such things, and they are not keen on expanding their territory. This group of oil guys only guard one-third of an acre of the foundry world, engaged in scientific research, belief, and production. The required manpower and resources can always be obtained from the outside world through trade, and no one will dislike or refuse a forging world as their partner.

Gu Hang didn't even intend to take the first shot.

The political risks are too high, so he must act cautiously.

Gu Hang didn't want to get to that point.

He estimated that the Raging Flames were in a similar state.

In actual operations, the Mingyang Sect is basically just cleaning up the Steel Fire Dragon Sector where Jin Di Star is located, as well as the Dragon Tamer Sector and Longguan Sector, which have many important resource areas for the Mingyang Sect.

The Alliance, the Wrathful Flame Chapter, and the Mingyang Sect of the Mechanicus.

Excluding the Buddhist Mechanicus, the competition between the Alliance and the Raging Flame Chapter becomes more intense.

Elsewhere, they have neither the strength nor the interest to compete.

Ships from both sides appeared in the same star system at the same time, and both sides sent troops to a certain world at the same time...

And some more powerful worlds will have a huge headache when faced with hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of greenskins.

However, no one can completely count on accidents not happening.

In this process, both sides will inevitably encounter each other.

Titus was killed, and the main green-skinned force was almost completely wiped out. The latest report provided to Gu Hang by the alliance intelligence department mentioned that they believe that in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region, except for the four star sectors completely occupied by green skins, there may be a total of 20 billion green skins in other places. .

The Skitarii of the Mingyang Cult were briefly part of the Alliance, under the command of Erso, Master of the Wrathful Flames. But after the war, the sages of the Mingyang Sect took back the military command and went about their own affairs.

The most important thing is that the probability of the two armies meeting now is quite high.

In the entire star field, there are currently three companies that can do this.

For Erso, although he really wanted to tie the Mingyang Sect to his chariot, this itself was a very important part of his plan. However, when the Alliance emerged and became his strong enemy, he did not dare to use any means against the Mingyang Sect.

This situation is still common.

The possibility of a direct war between the two sides is actually not great.

The Mingyang Sect does not have no choice like the several forging worlds they have dealt with in the past. They now have another option, which is the alliance. In his haste, he forced the Mechanicum's forging world to side with the Alliance, and he was self-defeating.

On some poor planets, the human population may only be a few hundred million, and the productivity is underdeveloped, let alone rich and powerful. There are millions of green skins on such a planet, but they cannot solve it by themselves.

This is of course a foreign war. In fact, there are a total of 20 billion green skins on each planet, scattered into dozens of battlefields. They have to send troops to fight separately. This is a lot of pressure for either side. With so many troops divided, it is not always possible to be sure of success on a single planet. If you fight and fight, if you are attacked by the greenskins, there will be relatively large losses, which have also appeared in the actions of both sides.

Once a civil war breaks out, its nature will immediately become extremely bad. It is absolutely impossible for the central government of the empire to tolerate this situation. It is a bottom line.

They are all sending troops to various worlds in the name of 'helping various planets and solving the green skin crisis'. The fleets of both sides are also wandering in the space of various star regions.

At this time, help from external forces is needed.

Don't the Iron Fury Stones know that the separatist regime they established in the Queen's Star Territory is a thorn in the side of the central empire?
Unless they have made some unspeakable plans, they probably don't want to make big news in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory.

Under the hostile and tense attitude, and there is direct competition between the two sides, it is not impossible for the two sides to encounter conflicts.

However, Gu Hang never placed his own safety on other people's reason.

What if Erso goes crazy? What if the troops below go alone?

He always keeps a mobile force on hand, so that if the worst situation really occurs, he must be able to react quickly, so that too many troops will not be dispersed due to horse racing and cannot be assembled. The power was broken one by one.

However, the good thing is that the incident of gunfire did not really happen.

Generally, when a team from the Alliance or the Raging Flame Chapter enters a certain galaxy and finds that the other party is already doing something spectacular here, they will make an assessment and then retreat.

Since you can't hit the other party, there is no need to make wedding clothes for the other party. And if the other side doesn't do well, the other side will come over immediately and send ground troops to beat up the greenskins on the ground and win over the local planetary government to side with them.

From this point of view, it looks like a bit of friendly competition.

But in reality, there was no shortage of backstabbing.

You can't be directly hostile, but you can always shoot someone behind your back, right?

It's not like there's such a thing as "accidental bombing", otherwise it would be really dangerous if people bombed it back by accident and bombed it again and again.

This is a slippery slope, but you can’t fall into it.

But using green skin, you can’t say anything about me, right?

It is good for friendly forces to stay still when they are in trouble, luring the green-skinned troops to pursue them, and then suddenly dodge; suddenly give up the flank battlefield, creating opportunities for the green-skinned troops to steal the opponent's ass...

Similar things happen one after another.

In this way, the two sides launched countless intrigues in many star regions and many worlds.

In this matter, both sides actually have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of the Raging Flame Chapter is that they control the star domain government.

This is the biggest source of political legitimacy. The star government listens to the star government, and the planetary government listens to the star government. Isn't this a matter of course?
But the disadvantages are also here.

The Raging Flame Chapter's control over the star domain government is not so absolute.

For Tan Jiuyi and his group of people from the Dragon Eagle Star Territory Government, being controlled by the Raging Flames was an unwilling but helpless matter.

What they most hope for, of course, is that the Wrathful Flame Chapter can come to help fight the war like an ordinary Space Marine Chapter, and leave with honor after the battle is over. In this case, the local government is generally not stingy in giving honor to these imperial angels who help. The medals were given free of charge, and they were also sparing no effort in boasting to the empire.

Even if it's about actual benefits, that's fine. Help us fight the war. If you want to recruit troops within the star field, if you want supplies, if you want all kinds of materials, you can try your best to satisfy them.

But the Raging Flames seem to be refusing to leave, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, they also directly intervened in the affairs of the Star Territory.

Can the Longying government be happy?

Obviously not.

But there was nothing they could do.

The military power is all in the Raging Flames Chapter, and the command system is self-contained. I can't get involved at all. I can only serve as a logistics officer, and I have to be supervised by the Raging Flames Chapter. If I don't do things well, I will be beaten, and even be punished. A senior official from Shaoxing Territory was killed to scare the monkeys.

Another point is that the actions of the alliance also make the star region government very worried.

From this perspective, the introduction of the Raging Flame Chapter is a must.

What would happen if the Raging Flames really left right now?
Today's alliance, compared to the Star Territory Government, which has already lost all its power... From now on, who will have the final say in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory?

Of course, on this matter, the Longying government is actually divided into two factions.

Some people think that matters within the Star Territory should be resolved within the Star Territory. The Raging Flames and their 'Iron Fury Stone' are not good things.

Some people also believe that no matter what happens, space warriors like the Raging Flames who are not based in Dragon Eagle will have to leave sooner or later. But the Alliance will not leave. They are here, and there is no one to check and balance them. They must rely on the power of the Raging Flame Chapter.

There are voices from both factions, and they are not small.

As the head of the Star Territory Government, Tan Jiuyi currently seems to be leaning towards the latter.

Kazimierz Erso had visited him more than once, and perhaps they had reached some secret agreement in private.

Because of this, now, in general, the Star Territory Government is cooperating with the actions of the Raging Flames. Many things done by the Raging Flames have such a layer of legality, and many difficulties can be easily solved.

But those who are holding back the government are also making things not smooth for the Raging Flames.

……

On the Alliance side, the situation is generally the other way around.

Alliance military operations are faster.

There are Space Marines on both sides, but the mortal forces of the Alliance are clearly more sophisticated and capable than those under the control of the Wrathful Flames.

Space Marines are always limited. Many frontal battlefields still have to be fought by mortal troops. In terms of military performance, the Wrathful Flame Chapter is indeed inferior to the Alliance.

The efficiency of the alliance in beating up the greenskins is higher than that of the Raging Flames.

Moreover, the alliance can always come up with quite attractive economic cooperation plans. This point is something that the Raging Flames Battle Group cannot compare to.

The Star Territory Government has been almost completely wiped out during the war and cannot afford this kind of support; Jindi Star, which was originally relied upon by the Star Territory Government, is also licking its wounds. In addition, the oil guys do not want to get involved. In neutral state, the support given is quite little.

They can't afford the price the league is paying.

If it weren't for the rulers of many planets who are more suspicious of the alliance's system and worried about the damage to their own rights, I'm afraid even more planets would turn to the alliance.

But in this regard, the alliance has also made some changes.

Is the alliance so easy to join? You may not have the chance to join if you want to join!
At best, these planets have been developed into peripheral forces, and economic assistance must be exchanged for things.

Ports, resources, manpower, orders, markets...

Not for free.

This is a mutually beneficial process, and the alliance does not seek domination.

The doubts of some planets were dispelled, coupled with the alliance's military strength and the influence of the Raging Flame being driven out, they finally chose to side with the alliance.

Generally speaking, both sides have their own gains and losses in enclosing territory.

A series of battles of wits and courage are still going on.

As for Gu Hang, apart from paying attention to these overall matters, he also had another headache.

He now has tens of millions of gift points on hand, how can he spend them?
