Chapter 493: Never worry about Gu Hang’s loyalty!

Chapter 493: Never worry about Gu Hang’s loyalty!

Ou Kyuren's concerns are justified.

Which military force is the most powerful in the entire Holy Terra?
It was undoubtedly the Emperor's Custodes.

The 'Ten Thousand Husbands' is no joke. At least tens of thousands of Forbidden Forces are here. Each of them has extraordinary combat power. If each one is taken alone, the Space Marines will be almost vulnerable to them.

Only some of the top warriors among the Space Marines can compete with the nameless Imperial Army.

What's more, this group of forbidden troops is not only powerful individually, but their equipment is also almost the most powerful in the entire empire.

No one knows how much black technology there is in the many secret laboratories of the empire they guard. Anyway, their power armor, the weapons in their hands, and the vehicles they use are all not mass-produced goods, but single-made precision products.

In addition to their own combat effectiveness, their influence is also unparalleled.

Which armed force loyal to the Empire dares to point its guns at the Custodes of the Emperor's spokesperson?

These imperial troops can mobilize almost all military power in Holy Terra.

There is no clear provision on this, there is no law that says they have the right to do this, and there is no clear level of command. But, again, no one doubts they can do it.

Even one of the first chapters based in Holy Terra, the Golden Knights Chapter, has a very good relationship with the Imperial Army. If something goes wrong, they will definitely side with the Forbidden Army.

In this case, who dares to fight against Holy Terra and the Imperial Army?

Fortunately, the Imperial Guard did not interfere in politics and never had the idea of ​​subverting the imperial government.

They are even defenders of the existing political framework.

Because the political framework of the Supreme Council and the human empire government was left by the Emperor, maintaining this framework is to safeguard the Emperor's will, and the Imperial Guard has no shirking responsibility for this.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t!

We don't care about the struggle between you, but no one is allowed to make it public, otherwise, the high lord will be useless, I said so!
In this general context, no matter how powerful the high lords are, they always have a thread in their hearts and do not dare to go too far.

There is also the big guillotine of the Imperial Guard on his head.

From this perspective, the existence of the Forbidden Army also played an objective role in supervising these high lords - although this was not their original intention.

No one can ignore the existence of the Forbidden Army. Everyone is afraid of the Forbidden Army. Naturally, no one wants to let such a Forbidden Army become a weapon for their opponents.

The Forbidden Army does not interfere in politics, and no one should cause the Forbidden Army to suffer. This is also a tacit rule among the high lords when they engage in political struggles.

Norberto committed a foul and paid a huge price.

Now, Ou Juren is worried that he has committed a foul and will have to pay the price.

The Supreme Council is in session. Who dares to open the door and come in without permission?
No matter who does such a thing, he must bear the wrath of the high lords! This kind of disloyal and disrespectful behavior will definitely be punished by the highest powers in this empire!
It's the Imperial Guard...it's okay.

Is everything really okay?
One of the thirteen high lords was shocked.

Someone must be responsible for this matter. They didn't dare to lose their temper towards the Forbidden Army, but someone would always be the target of the high lords' anger.

Ou Curen didn't want this person to be him.

However, Gallardo has different opinions regarding Ou Curen's concerns.

"This is not our problem, but Norberto's problem. We never wanted to involve the Forbidden Army. It was Norberto's cross-border means that attracted the attention of the Forbidden Army. We must emphasize to other factions that it is the Forbidden Army that leads We went to capture Naldo. It was the Imperial Army who led us into the parliament, and it was not our initiative. I believe that other high lords can also understand this."

After Gallardo finished speaking, Gu Hang also added: "The behavior of the Forbidden Army is actually a very obvious warning. This warning does come from Norberto, not us, so there is no need to worry that we will be hated for it. "

Ou Juren nodded slightly.

Indeed, there is no problem in putting it on Norberto.

It was Norberto who did it, and we are the victims.

However, even so, Ou Curen still did not feel completely better.

"Let's forget about this matter. There is one more critical issue, alas... Norberto, he fell too fast."

At this point, Gu Hang and Gallardo also fell silent.

Norberto's downfall is indeed what they have been striving for, but it shouldn't be so quick.

If things get like this, many original plans will be disrupted.

I originally planned to nibble away at it step by step, but all of a sudden, a huge cake leaked out. Other people around him immediately surrounded him like jackals, and the situation would become chaotic. Many people who had no chance of benefiting from this matter now suddenly have the opportunity.

This will damage the political gains of Ogüren's faction.

Plus, there's a huge downside: How will the Iron Fury Stone react?
Norberto was the protective umbrella of Iron Fury Stone, and condoned the expansion and development of Iron Fury Stone in local power. But objectively, he is also the communication bridge between Iron Fury Stone and the central empire, and a buffer between the two parties.

Before Norberto was finished, Iron Fury Stone could still listen to Holy Terra's words a little bit; now that Norberto was finished, could Iron Fury Stone still listen to anything?
Of course Iron Fury Stone also understood that they were a thorn in the side of Holy Terra. They have also made political efforts, and Norberto tried his best to reconcile the relationship between the two parties. But now that the mediator is gone, will Iron Fury Stone think that this is a sign that the empire is about to take action against him? Do they think that the option of peace has completely disappeared and that the only option is war?

This is the biggest reason why Norberto cannot be eradicated at the speed of light: for fear of directly forcing the Iron Fury Stone to rebel!

The empire is not fully prepared to counter the rebellion yet!

Troops, materials, personnel, propaganda, policies... everything is still in preparation.

Now if Iron Fury Stone rebels first, something big might happen to the entire eastern territory of the empire!

Thinking of this, not only the high lords who were shocked in the previous parliament, but also ordinary politicians understood that this matter had slipped into an uncontrollable abyss.

Everyone is complaining in their hearts, these golden corn demons are really useless, they have no political wisdom at all, they just want to cause trouble!

Do you have the ability to cause chaos, have the ability to break out of Terra, and personally go to the eastern frontier of the empire to level the iron armor?
Staying in the palace every day, the emperor has ascended, and he doesn’t know what he is protecting!
But the complaints are complaints, and the resentments are resentments. He said that he did not dare to go to the Forbidden Army to complain.

The various departments at the center of the empire can only seize the time and try their best to get the bloated system in motion to cope with the crisis that may be brought forward significantly.

……

After the assassination incident, Gu Hang stayed in Holy Terra for about a month.

During this period, his previous investiture ceremony, which had to be terminated due to an accident, started again. This time, without any surprises, he got the golden scepter that symbolized his status as Marshal of the Empire. He became the person with the highest military rank in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Territory.

Although, he actually has a direct superior-subordinate relationship with the Raging Bear Legion, which originally belonged to him. His title as Marshal is also the 'Marshal of the Raging Bear Legion'. It has no command authority over other legion-level formations of the Astra Militarum.

However, the Astra Militarum is, after all, a unified, empire-wide military group. Unlike those defense forces under the jurisdiction of different planets, they really have no jurisdiction over each other at all.

According to the unified regulations of the Astra Militarum, within a war zone, unless there is a special order, the person with the highest military rank will automatically obtain the wartime command of the Astra Militarum in that area.

This means that Gu Hang cannot go outside the Raging Bear Legion to exercise his power. He cannot decide on the editing, personnel appointments, or military transfers of other legions.

But if there is a war, and there is no order from a higher level than Gu Hang in this war zone, and other command systems are established, then all the Astra Militarum troops in that battlefield area need to obey his orders as the marshal.

When it comes to the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, that means the entire Dragon Eagle Legion. Not only the 3 Dragon Eagle Legion in his hands, but also the other eight army groups of the Dragon Eagle Legion currently under the jurisdiction of the Star Territory Government must also listen. his.

Although there is another Dragon Eagle Legion commander in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, the Commander of the Dragon Eagle Legion, Michelle Oriqi, only has the rank of general, and there is a general between him and Gu Hang.

If the Alliance goes to war with the Wrathful Flames, the Dragon Eagle Legion fighting under the Wrathful Flames will become very embarrassed - everyone is an Astra Militarum, and they are receiving orders from a Marshal. Do you listen?

Do you want to commit treason?
For the same reason, Yelicia had always been in trouble before. The Pegasus fleet she led always received orders from the Star Territory Government, the commander of the Yunluo Fleet, and the highest person in charge of the Imperial Navy in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory.

And now, thanks to Gu Hang's honor, she was promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Imperial Navy.

Now that everyone has the same military rank, Yelicia can fight openly and openly.

Of course, just like how Yelicia used to push the envelope and disobey the admiral's orders, in fact, the commander of the Dragon Eagle Army, Admiral Oriqi, also had no choice but to disobey Gu Hang.

But the difference is that Ye Lixia is determined to follow Gu Hang, and the relationship between the two lies here.

Is Oriki determined to listen to the Wrathful Flames? Risking treason?
I'm afraid not.

At the same time, Gu Hang also received another benefit.

This one is a little more twisty.

It was about his proposal to become the supreme administrator of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory—the head of the Star Territory.

The appointment process of the Star Territory Head of State is proposed by the higher-level government, that is, the Eternal Territory Government, reported to Holy Terra, and approved by the Imperial Executive Council, which then becomes effective.

Regarding the proposal of Gu Hang to be appointed as the leader of Dragon Eagle, this is the most normal and reasonable process. Zuo Zhaofeng submitted the appointment proposal at Gallardo's signal.

Generally speaking, the Imperial Executive Yuan rarely vetoes the proposals of the Space Territory Government.

But there was something different about Gu Hang.

He is now the Marshal of the Imperial Astra Militarum, and the Imperial Navy Admiral is his wife. He also has a Space Marine Chapter under his command, and given him the head of the government of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory... the military and political affairs are in one hand, right?

The empire's front foot is still here thinking about how to kill the "Iron Fury Stone", and its back foot is to raise a local independent warlord?

There are indeed people who have concerns about this.

The Prime Minister of the Executive Yuan is blocking it.

Everyone knows that he is a member of the Imperial Prime Minister Qi Bodu, which to some extent represents Qi Bodu's thoughts.

At this point, Ou Cure played his role.

The appointment of a star domain head does not require a vote at the Supreme Council. Ou Juren worked together, especially when he visited Qi Bodu in person, and made guarantees to convince the prime minister.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Gu Hang could probably guess what these big guys were thinking.

Of course they are afraid of raising another Iron Armor.

But on the one hand, although Gu Hang has space warriors serving him, what is different from the situation in the Queen's Starfield is that the Iron Armor Chapter makes the decision on its own, while the Phoenix does not. In the view of the Supreme Council, there are many ways to separate Gu Hang and Phoenix.

They feared the Space Marines more than they feared a mortal political leader.

In the history of the Empire, the turmoil caused by the Space Marines can be seen everywhere. How can a mortal make a fortune from a small place and then reach the point where he cannot survive?

It hasn't happened yet.

It's not that there are no 'turmoils' caused by mortal political leaders, but they all happen in the central government. Including the end of the Sun Lord era, which was only more than ten years old, Sorakem also first became the Supreme Marshal of the Astral Militarum and became one of the thirteen high lords before launching the Sun Crusade and gaining power.

What's more, compared to Tie Kai's bad record, Gu Hang pays taxes well. When he didn't pay taxes, he was clearly given tax-free policies. These policies were not even what he asked for, but were given to him proactively for various reasons. With those tax exemptions, he clearly did more work than the taxes exempted.

Such as saving a hive city, such as winning the Iron Teeth War.

Gu Hang's reputation in this area is much better.

The reason why Gu Hang has so much power is because he has Tie Kai, a formidable enemy in front of him.

There is an enemy who gives the entire empire a headache,
Let them bite first. After the fight is over, Gu Hang's alliance will surely suffer heavy losses. At that time, splitting will become much easier.

In response, Gu Hang just smiled and explained over and over again to everyone he came into contact with how honest he was. His lifelong wish was to make some achievements in the local area and then be transferred to Holy Terra to join everyone. Work together.

His statement really convinced many people.

Because this is really in line with the concept in the minds of most imperial officials: Holy Terra is the best in the world, better than anywhere else. I would rather have a bed in Terra than a palace in the Garden World.

Being able to tune Holy Terra and become a high-ranking official is enough to make people give up all their local accumulation.

This is how many high-ranking officials in the empire came to be.

After finishing the Iron Armor, Gu Hang becomes famous, and if we find him an official position in Terra, won't he naturally let go of the so-called alliance and come here like crazy?

I am not afraid that Gu Hang will become bigger and stronger in his local area, and then he will not be able to lose his position!

You never have to worry about Gu Hang’s loyalty!
