Chapter 636: The rebellion continues

In this universe, expecting the war to end completely is pure luxury.

Even though the so-called Victory of Alamita had become a foregone conclusion and the Alfonzo sect had lost all ability to launch offensive attacks, the top brass of the Allied military were already happily popping champagne.

But in fact, the ground war in Alamita is not over yet.

It is estimated that there are at least 200 million active rebels; the total population in the areas they control may exceed 2 billion.

But even so, it's still just a scratch on the surface.

Without the external support from Alfonzo's sect, the rebels instigated in Alamita would be like grasshoppers in autumn, unable to jump for more than a few days.

The Union Army did not send any more troops to the ground, and the existing force was sufficient to solve the problem. The remaining troops needed to suppress the rebellion would be sent from Alamita.

After Varuc was arrested and Alfonzo's main fleet was defeated, Moro, whose internal situation was shaky and whose rule had become quite unstable, suddenly became as stable as a rock. The local forces that were originally shaky now needed them to prove their loyalty.

The local rebels who are still fighting stubbornly are a place to verify this.

Rather than being the main force in suppressing the rebellion, the Union Army was more of a supervisory force.

The outcome of this war is inevitable, but the war itself can be exploited.

The cleansing that Moro wants to carry out can be carried out here.

Not a traitor? Very loyal? Then strike hard at the rebels, until you are nearly destroyed, and that will also be a show of loyalty to the God of All Things and Governor Gu Hang.

If they are traitors and have defected to the rebel side, that's no big deal. They are just trash and can be dealt with together.

According to Moro, after the war on the surface of Aramita is over, he will return a loyal Aramita to Gu Hang.

Even if the war is still going on, it is actually just a small matter.

The most important task for the entire forge world at the moment is to restore productivity, especially the production capacity of ships.

There are a total of 30 billion people on Aramita. Most of them are laborers, skilled workers, and mechanics. Even the world's food self-sufficiency rate is very low. Even though there are many starch factories, they still need to import a considerable amount of food from outside.

The dozens or even hundreds of worlds surrounding Aramita actually serve this forge world, providing food, population, and all kinds of resources.

The greatest value of the Forging World is, of course, in itself; but to fully realize this value, it is actually necessary to coordinate the power of dozens or hundreds of surrounding worlds.

Fortunately, after the Alliance destroyed Alfonzo's main fleet, the worlds around Aramita became easier to deal with. A considerable number of them had already been captured when the Alliance marched in. As for the rest, whether they surrendered or had to send a detachment to capture them with some effort, it was not difficult to deal with them anyway.

The entire Aramita's production capacity is currently about 15% of its peak period. And as the Great Purge continues, the counterinsurgency process stabilizes, and the resource supply from the surrounding world is restored... this number will continue to rise over time.

Even the current 15% should not be underestimated.

This means that the shipbuilding industry can be initially started; it means that the Alliance's ships, even those that are seriously damaged or just captured, do not need to find tugboats, but can be escorted all the way to the local shipyards two star fields away for repair. In Aramita, they can be repaired, prepared, and modified accordingly.

This will save a lot of time. After all, the round trip takes almost a year in total.

Not to mention, the production of some important artillery shells, fighter planes, and army equipment is also very important and can be supplied nearby. Aramita is the wealth that Gu Hang values most.

It’s a pity that the other two forge worlds of the Alfonzo sect are not as easy to take as Aramita.

On the one hand, there is no one like Moreau who can help Gu Hang unify those worlds. On the other hand, seeing that the army of Alfonzo's sect is almost entirely composed of infected people and Zerg bio-transformers, one can imagine what the remaining two forge worlds will be like.

Gu Hang was very pessimistic about this.

He believed that the two forging worlds might be beyond salvation and would have to be destroyed.

This can also be seen from another point.

During the inspection of the battleship that was snatched back by Gu Hang, a large amount of "blasphemous technology" was discovered.

Not only did they transform the church into a Four-Armed God Emperor, a spiritual blasphemy, but they also used a lot of biochemical structures inside the ship. Those materials similar to Zerg chitin were placed in many places; there were also several digestion tanks, incubation tanks and other facilities inside the ship.

Varuk didn't have much time and was unable to transform the entire ship from beginning to end into a biological ship, otherwise he would have been useless even if he had stolen it.

But even so, it would take a lot of time to dismantle and modify all of these blasphemous technologies on Aramita.

If even the ships are like this, what will happen to the two forging worlds?

There are already small Alliance ships carrying agents and observation equipment heading to the two Forge Worlds.

There is probably no hope of subverting the situation, but at least we have to find out whether the two forging worlds are really as bad as Gu Hang estimates now.

As for why the army did not use the momentum of victory to directly attack those two worlds, it was mainly because the alliance fleet needed to rest.

The Alliance fleet also suffered heavy damage.

Anyway, most of Alfonzo's main battleships were destroyed, and he certainly won't be able to build new ships within a year or two. The two forge worlds won't run away if they are left there, so there's no need to worry too much.

In addition, Gu Hang also gained a considerable amount of grace points from this war.

He had to spend some money.

The first thing is to replenish the troops lost by the Fury, New World Torch, and Shadow Regiment in the battle.

The three regiments suffered a total of nearly a thousand casualties.

This is a loss equivalent to the annihilation of an entire regiment.

Without their sacrifice, the Battle of Aramita could not have been won from beginning to end.

But in general, although it costs a lot of gift points and a lot of money to replenish the manpower losses of the Space Marines, it is completely affordable for Gu Hang now.
