Chapter 743: Unprecedented Legitimacy
Chapter 743: Unprecedented Legitimacy
The Alliance's participation in the war against Solaria was certainly not free.
The Executive Yuan has to pay, the Star Army Headquarters has to pay, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has to pay.
The Alliance Army already had a Star Army unit called the Angry Bear Legion, which could be used at this time.
Since we are fighting as a star army, then we must get all the treatment that a star army should have.
The replacement of various types of equipment and the allocation of funds for the entire legion... are all necessary.
Moreover, the price of the alliance will be even higher.
On the one hand, the Empire has to pay for the war, so the Alliance Army now has a large number of armored vehicles, artillery, reconnaissance system command vehicles, and even a single soldier carries more than just a gun and a set of protection. There are also a large number of single-soldier firepower reinforcements. The squad is equipped with a large number of single-soldier missiles, rockets, and heavy explosive machine guns for positional warfare...
More than the average number of troops returned.
The Empire didn't have to pay for these equipment, but the consumption of these equipment was inevitable. Fuel, shells, various consumer goods... the Alliance Army would use more than ordinary troops.
This is an expensive part of military spending.
The other part is the labor cost.
The treatment of soldiers in the Alliance Army, from daily allowances to combat allowances to pensions, is higher than that of ordinary Astra Militarum soldiers. This is also a considerable amount of money.
In addition, a sum of money for the legion’s departure must be paid to the alliance.
For ordinary Astra Militarum Corps, this money goes to the Corps. For the Alliance Army, it goes to the Alliance.
These three sums, added together, are roughly the cost of recruiting the Union Army to join the war.
It is much more expensive than recruiting ordinary star legions, and is not much less expensive than recruiting those famous star legions.
However, Luo Fei still didn't feel like he was at a loss.
Giving money is not a problem, since it is not just him who is giving it. Solaria has a sufficient budget, and all parties are not afraid of spending money, but are afraid of spending money without any effect.
Instead of recruiting a large number of low-level troops and spending money on paying pensions to low-level troops and arming cannon fodder, it is better to spend money on hiring real elite troops to quell the rebellion. By settling a planet or a star region, there will be a place to stop the bleeding and start reconstruction, and in turn collect taxes to provide blood transfusions for the empire.
There is a huge difference between the two.
Luo Fei is not afraid of spending money, but there are not so many elite troops in the empire that can be recruited simply by spending money to roll around in the mud of Solaria.
It would be a good thing if we could recruit one more.
Anyway, after he could no longer oppose or stop Gu Hang, he was able to change his mindset and try his best to make Gu Hang a bigger thing and turn it into a good thing for himself.
So far, this is a good start.
……
After dealing with Luo Fei, the last obstacle was removed.
But the empire's efficiency was still low.
The documents of the Alliance Plan still need to be reviewed, and it is a review by multiple departments;
After the review is completed, the document must be formally brought to the Supreme Council for further discussion;
After the discussion, the Prime Minister had to use the seal and Gu Hang had to sign. According to Prime Minister Qi Bodu, they would have to hold another ceremony, which would be broadcast live to the public, and at least ten high lords would attend the ceremony.
It would probably take at least one and a half to two months to complete this entire process.
Gu Hang was indeed a little anxious.
On the one hand, he was afraid that the longer the night went, the more trouble it would cause. The political situation in Imperial Holy Terra was always so treacherous and changeable. Who knew if any unexpected events would happen in the next one and a half to two months?
But there was nothing he could do, he could only wait patiently and comfort himself that the wait was worth it.
The more standardized the process, the stronger the document effectiveness of the Alliance Plan.
From multi-department review to discussion in the Supreme Council to the fully live-broadcast ceremony, more than ten high lords participated.
In this case, the legitimacy of the alliance's rule over the East and future expansion in the Spider Web Universe will become unprecedentedly high. He can even take this document and go out to tell any surrounding forces that I have the full support of the central government of the empire and I am the orthodoxy of the empire!
Then wait.
Gu Hang did not waste any time while waiting.
It's not easy to come to Holy Terra. It takes nearly two years to go from East Border to Central. Anyway, everyone is here now, so Gu Hang will try to meet with people from all walks of life.
If you can talk about cooperation, then talk about cooperation; if you can build relationships, then build relationships. If that doesn't work, then it is necessary to make yourself familiar with the people.
Gu Hang had long realized that connections were very important when doing business in the empire.
Not only was he taking action, his daughter-in-law Ye Lixia, as the first lady of the alliance, also accompanied Gu Hang to various events or traveled alone.
A month passed in the midst of drinking and feasting.
In this process, there are two things that need to be briefly mentioned.
As promised, Gu Hang went to meet Yan Xinzhen, the Marshal of the Imperial Guards, the leader of the Ten Thousand Men Corps, who held a very transcendent position in the entire political situation of the empire.
Gu Hang was still quite nervous when he saw him.

At that time, at the exchange field of the Psychic Order, when he was unleashing his psychic energy to the fullest and demonstrating his strength, there was one negative impact that he was most worried about: he was afraid that the Imperial Guards would cause trouble.
Fortunately, the imperial guards were dealt with on the spot, but they received an invitation from Yan Xinzhen.
He was really afraid of attending the Hongmen Banquet this time. If he went there, he would be locked up in a small dark room by the imperial guards and studied as a special sample.
In the deep palace, the Imperial Guards were always very mysterious. They were indifferent to the affairs of the outside world, as if no matter how bad the fighting was in other parts of the empire, as long as they didn't attack Holy Terra, or even the Imperial Palace, they would not care about anything.
She stays in the deep palace all day, studying some weird stuff.
Fortunately, this meeting did not turn out as bad as Gu Hang had expected.
Yan Xinzhen talked to him kindly about some things about psychic powers, how to deal with high-level psychics, and how to train psychic powers.
By the way, we also talked about the current situation in various parts of the empire.
Gu Hang discovered that this Imperial Guards Marshal actually had a relatively good understanding of the current situation of the empire. Unlike what people imagined, he really knew nothing about the outside world.
This conversation actually made Gu Hang a little confused.
It was a bit like chatting, but the Marshal of the Imperial Guards came to me just to chat?
He always felt that something was not right.
But Marshal Yan Xinzhen's attitude really seemed to mean "we didn't know each other before, but now we are familiar with each other."
It's really confusing.
However, as of now, this incident does not seem to have any bad impact.
On the contrary, because of this discussion, Gu Hang's situation in the palace changed for the better.
It seemed as if it was a great honor for Gu Hang to be able to have a chat with Yan Xinzhen alone.
Even the high lords in the central empire may not enjoy such treatment.
His status was unknowingly raised a little bit.
In addition, another thing worth mentioning is that Qi Bodu would call Gu Hang over every now and then to discuss the research and development of the sixth rejuvenation surgery technology and confirm many details.
This is actually expected.
A month passed slowly and nothing unexpected happened.
Until one day, an unexpected visitor came without any notice.
That was a great sage from Mars - Kaul.
