Chapter 705, Chairman Gu?

Chapter 705, Chairman Gu?

Every word Gu Hang said to Gallardo was the truth that he was thinking.

In his opinion, entering the Supreme Council through the two routes mentioned by Gallardo was unstable.

Become the Supreme Commander of the Astra Militarum and obtain a seat among the Thirteen?
Not to mention that Gallardo downplayed the difficulty of the project. Even if it succeeded, it would be like a tree without roots.

Gu Hang did not come from the Star Army system. Even if it is true that the Alliance Army belongs to the Star Army, it is nonsense. Although the Alliance Army is strong enough, its influence is only around the Alliance. To put it bluntly, it is still the foundation of the Alliance. The Alliance Army is not like a well-known legion in the Star Army, which will conquer the whole universe and establish merits.

Your foundation is unstable. You, an outsider, relied on political means to snatch the opportunities of those who are also members of the Star Army, and even took the thirteen-person seat. Can you hold on to this position?

Can't sit steadily.

Gu Hang is not a three-year-old child. He fully understands that it is not the person who sits in that position that has power, but the person who has power can sit in that position.

He was forced to take the position using the merits that Gu Hang had built up through the alliance and relying on political means. He had to face huge internal friction. In the future, the Star Army system might not only not be a help, but instead become a bomb under his buttocks.

Gu Hang will have to spend more energy to suppress internal disorder and will have to rely more on the political forces that helped him to sit in this position. At best, he will be a puppet, and at worst, he will be driven out of office within two years.

He has given up on the alliance again, what should he do then?
Start over again and do it all over again?

Bullshit.

As for the second path that Gallardo mentioned, using his status as the strongest psychic in the empire to unify the Psychic Order and enter the Council of Thirteen in the name of the Chief Grand Master, it also has hidden dangers.

Maybe bigger.

The Order of Psionic Power is a more scattered organization with less actual power.

Or to be more precise, they have power, but whether it is the Chapter Think Tank, the psychic experts in the Inquisition, the various Astra Militarums, the psychic troops in the navy, the psykers on various planets... these so-called 'basic base', will they listen more to the Psionic Order or to their original superiors?

There is no doubt that it is the latter.

The Psychic Order has long been divided into countless pieces by various affiliated organizations.

There is basically no possibility of integrating this force.

In a narrow sense, the Psychic Order may have only one A-level psychic in a star region, which is still far behind the Storm Mage Corps of the Alliance. What can they accomplish if they combine their forces?
Of course, it is not difficult to unite them, but their strength is too weak to support a seat in the Supreme Council.

This is why the chief mentors of the past have not been able to get the highest seat for hundreds of years: they are nominally qualified to run for election, but the actual power they hold is too weak to hold up the situation.

Even if Gu Hang went, the result would be the same.

Unless he is willing to start all over again, spend countless years, and go through countless hardships and difficulties to raise the authority and responsibility of the Psionic Order to the broadest stage, that is, whether it is the chapter think tank, the Inquisition psyker... all the psychic forces of the entire empire are managed and dispatched by the Psionic Order. Then, this will be a powerful force.

The difficulty is enormous.

If one relies on a ragtag chief mentor to enter the Council of Thirteen, then he is not relying on his own base, but on the political forces behind him.

If this is the case, the result will be the same as entering the Supreme Council through the Star Army path. They can push Gu Hang in, and if they are unhappy one day, they can kick Gu Hang out. Gu Hang can't really play the political power of the Supreme Seat. Voting, proposing, and doing things all depend on others. For many people, such a high lord is already an unattainable dream. A puppet high lord is still a high lord, nominally one of the thirteen most powerful people in the empire.

But in Gu Hang's opinion, it's meaningless.

Of course, if Gu Hang could really sit on the position of High Lord, he would be happy to do so.

He can formulate a series of strategies that are beneficial to himself and the alliance from the central level of the empire.

But to be in this position, one must have enough strength of one's own to support it.

So, this is what he meant by the last words he said to Gallardo.

He will do the same next time.

He must first strive for a position as chairman of the universe domain.

I have two ideas, but I haven't confirmed them yet.

Otherwise, he could take the chairmanship of the Spider Web Universe or the Eastern Universe. By then, he would have a strong alliance as a physical support inside, and the title of the chairman of the Universe, the official highest executive of the Universe, outside. He could exert his power in the entire Universe.

As the chairman of the universe, he can send representatives to participate in the central affairs in Holy Terra. Some representatives of the universe, such as the chairman of the Devouring Stars, are even sitting in the position of high lord.

If Gu Hang becomes a high lord in this way, then he will be a truly powerful person.

The alliance controls a universe; from one universe, the influence spreads to more than ten universes in the entire eastern border of the empire, which means that any affairs concerning the eastern border of the empire, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the empire, must be approved by Gu Hang. Only such power can truly support the position of a genuine high lord who is not empty.

Why did Gu Hang refuse to give up local interests?
That's because of the system.

Gu Hang has such a huge and useful tool in his hands, which played a decisive role in his past history of making a fortune. What he needs to do is of course to continue to play to his strengths.

Giving up this advantage, giving up the foundation that has been built up over decades, running to the Astra Militarum to fight against the human government, running to the Psionic Order to find ways to compete with almost all other imperial forces for psychic authority... that is taking the crooked path instead of the upright one.

Of course, Gu Hang couldn’t tell Gallardo about the system.

However, it is possible to talk about local interests, local foundations, and the need for sufficient strength to support a truly high-level chairmanship.

However, Gallardo also felt very embarrassed about this.

He understood what Gu Hang meant, but also said:

"It is extremely difficult to push you to become the chairman of the Spider Web Universe or the Eastern Universe. Your report really messed up Holy Terra."
