Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 478

Chapter 477: Land Encirclement

After the brief conversation between Gu Hang and Erso, the two forces, each of which was the largest military and political force in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, did not communicate at a high level.

This is a very dangerous thing. With

such an obvious situation, anyone who is slightly informed in the Dragon Eagle Star Region can smell something unusual, which makes countless people worried and even trembling.

The Iron Tooth Clan was defeated as a whole, and countless worlds are still in the flames of war in detail, and the war is not over yet. As a result, the two greatest war heroes over there are about to turn against each other and draw their knives to fight?

How can this not make people tremble.

However, although there is an irreconcilable core contradiction between the Alliance and the Fury of Flame, and the relationship is bad. But in fact, the two sides really have no intention of directly fighting – at least not in the short term.

No matter what, their two families are part of the empire. No matter how much they hate each other and wish each other dead, no matter how much they use means behind the scenes and how much they attack each other verbally, they cannot really fight each other on the battlefield.

If it really comes to that, there is a very clear term:

civil war.

Once a civil war breaks out, the nature will immediately become extremely bad. The central government of the empire will never tolerate such a situation. It is a breakthrough of the bottom line.

The possibility of the two sides going to war directly is actually not that great.

Gu Hang is not going to fire the first shot.

The high political risk requires him to act cautiously.

Erso on the opposite side probably has the same idea.

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

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

Titus was killed, and the main force of the greenskins was almost completely wiped out. In the latest report provided to Gu Hang by the Alliance Intelligence Department, it is mentioned that they believe that in the entire Dragon Eagle star field, except for the four star regions completely occupied by the greenskins, there may be a total of 20 billion greenskins in other places.

This is an estimated data, and no one can figure out the specific detailed information now. However, the intelligence department of the Alliance believes that this data should be more credible and will not deviate from the actual situation by an order of magnitude.

These greenskins are scattered on various worlds throughout the star field, with more in some places and fewer in others. However, most of these worlds that have been invaded by greenskins have not completely gotten rid of the influence of greenskins.

On some poor planets, the human population may be only a few hundred million, with underdeveloped productivity, let alone being rich and strong. On such planets, the emergence of millions of greenskins is not something they can solve on their own.

And some stronger worlds will also be very troubled by hundreds of millions or even millions of greenskins.

These planets, relying solely on their own strength, are unable to resist the crisis brought by these greenskins.

At this time, external forces are needed to help.

In the entire star field, there are now three parties that can do this.

The Alliance, the Fury of Flame, and the Mingyang Sect of the Mechanicus.

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

Moreover, the Mechanicus has never been interested in getting involved in such things, nor are they keen on expanding their territory. This group of oil men guarded the small piece of land of the Forge World, engaged in scientific research, faith, and production. The manpower and resources needed can always be obtained from the outside world through trade, and no one would dislike or refuse a Forge World as their partner.

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

In actual operations, the Mingyang Sect basically only cleaned up the Steel Fire Dragon Star Region where Jindi Star is located, as well as the Dragon Tamer Star Region and Dragon Pass Star Region where there are many important resource areas for the Mingyang Sect.

They have no strength and no interest in competing for other places.

Of course, no one will come to provoke them.

The Mingyang Sect’s Crusaders once briefly belonged to part of the coalition forces and were commanded by Erso, the leader of the Wrathfire Warband. But after the war, the sages of the Mingyang Sect took back the military command and went to do their own things.

For Erso, although he wanted to tie the Ming Yang Sect to his chariot, this was also 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 Ming Yang Sect.

The Ming Yang Sect was not like the several forge worlds they had dealt with in the past. They now had another option, that is, the Alliance. If he pushed the forge world of the Mechanicus to the side of the Alliance, he would have done something wrong.

Gu Hang’s Alliance would not have any idea about the Mechanicus. The three star regions they controlled, Steel Fire Dragon, Dragon Tamer, and Dragon Pass, were all at the westernmost end of the entire star field, and had nothing to do with the current sphere of influence of the Alliance.

Excluding the more Buddhist Mechanicus, the competition between the Alliance and the Fury of Flame was more intense.

They were all sending troops to various worlds in the name of “helping various planets and solving the greenskin crisis.” The fleets of both sides were also wandering in the space of various star fields.

This is of course an external war. In fact, there are 20 billion greenskins on various planets, scattered into dozens of battlefields. It is a great pressure for either side to send troops to deal with them separately. With so many troops, it is not necessarily a sure thing to win on a single planet. During the battle, they were attacked by the greenskins and suffered relatively large losses. This has also occurred in the actions of both sides.

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

The Alliance and the Fury Corps are each other’s big trouble.

The current behavior of the two parties is quite a bit like a post-war land grab.

In this process, the two sides will inevitably encounter each other.

The ships of both sides appear in a star system at the same time, and both sides deploy troops to a certain world at the same time…

This situation is still very common.

Under the hostile and tense attitude, there is direct competition between the two sides, and it is not impossible for a gun to be fired accidentally.

Gu Hang does not want to fire the first shot, and he does not want to really start a civil war with Fury.

It’s not that he can’t win, but the key is that if the fight breaks out, he will become the biggest news in the entire empire.

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

He estimated that the Fury Flame Corps was in a similar situation.

Didn’t ‘Iron Fury Stone’ know that the separatist regime they set up in the Princess Star Region was a thorn in the side of the central empire?

Unless they have made some plans that are difficult to say, otherwise, they probably don’t want to make big news in the Dragon Eagle Star Region.

However, Gu Hang never relies on the rationality of others for his own safety.

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

He always keeps a mobile force at hand, so that if the worst situation really happens, he must be able to react quickly, so as not to disperse too many troops due to scrambling for territory, resulting in the inability to gather strength and be defeated one by one.

However, the good thing is that the accidental discharge of guns did not really happen.

Generally, the team of the Alliance or the Fury Corps enters a certain star system and finds that the other party has done quite well here. After an assessment, they will retreat.

If you can’t fight the other party, there is no need to make wedding clothes for the other party.

If the other side is not doing well, the other side will come over immediately and send ground troops to beat up the greenskins on the ground and try to get the local planetary government to stand on their side.

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

But in fact, there are many acts of stabbing in the back.

You can’t be directly hostile, but it’s okay to shoot in the back, right?

It’s not necessary to do “accidental bombing”, otherwise the other side will bomb back by mistake, and bombing will really be a matter of life and death.

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

But using the greenskins, you can’t say how I am, right?

It’s good to stand still when friendly forces are in trouble, lure the greenskin army to chase, and then suddenly leave; suddenly give up the flank battlefield to create an opportunity for the greenskins to steal the opponent’s butt…

Similar things are endless.

In this way, the two sides have 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 Fury Corps is that they control the star region government.

This is the biggest source of political legitimacy. The star district government listens to the star domain government, and the planetary government listens to the star district government. Isn’t this reasonable?

But the disadvantage is also here.

The control of the Wrath Flame Corps over the star domain government is not so absolute.

For Tan Jiuyi and his group of people in the Dragon Eagle Star Domain Government, being controlled by the Wrath Flame Corps is something they are unwilling to do, but they have no choice.

What they hope most is, of course, that the Wrath Flame Corps can come to help fight like ordinary space warriors, and leave with honor after the battle. In this case, the local government is generally not stingy in giving honor to these helping Emperor Angels. Medals are given for free, and they are also blown to the Empire with all their strength.

Even if they want some actual benefits, that’s fine. Help us fight the war, want to recruit soldiers within the star domain, want supplies, and want all kinds of materials, we can try our best to meet them.

But the Wrath Flame Corps looks like they are not going to leave, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, they also directly intervened in the affairs of the star domain.

Can the Dragon Eagle government be happy?

Obviously not.

But they had no choice.

The military forces were all in the Wrath of Flames, and the command system was self-contained. They could not intervene at all, so they could only serve as logistics officers honestly, and they were also supervised by the Wrath of Flames. If they did not do their job well, they would be punished, and even many high-ranking officials in the star field were killed

as a warning to the monkeys. Another point was that the actions of the Alliance also made the star field government very worried. From this perspective, the introduction of   the Wrath of Flames

was something that had to be done. What would happen if the Wrath of Flames really withdrew right now?   Compared with the star field government that had already exhausted all its forces, the current Alliance… Who would have the final say in the Dragon Eagle Star Field in the future?   Of course, on this matter, the Dragon Eagle government was actually divided into two factions.   Some people believed that matters within the star field should be resolved within the star field, and the Wrath of Flames and their “Iron Fury Stone” were not good things.   Others believed that no matter what, the Space Marines of the Wrath of Flames, whose roots were not in Dragon Eagle, would 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 Wrath of Flames.   There are voices from both sides, and they are not small.   As the head of the Star Region Government, Tan Jiuyi currently seems to be inclined to the latter.   Kazimierz Erso has visited him more than once, and perhaps they have reached some secret agreements in private.   Because of this, the Star Region Government is now generally cooperating with the actions of the Wrath of Flames, so that many things done by the Wrath of Flames have such a layer of legitimacy, and many difficulties are solved.   But the people who drag their feet in the government are also making it difficult for the Wrath of Flames to do things smoothly.   …   On the Alliance side, the situation is roughly the opposite.   The Alliance’s military operations are faster.   There are Space Marines on both sides, but the Alliance’s mortal troops are obviously more sophisticated and combat-savvy than the troops under the control of the Wrath of Flames.   Space Marines are always limited, and many frontal battlefields still have to rely on mortal troops to fight. In terms of military performance, the Wrath of Flames is indeed not as good as the Alliance.   联盟暴揍绿皮的效率，要比怒焰高。   并且，联盟还总能拿得出相当吸引人的经济合作方案。这一点，却是怒焰战团根本没办法比的。   星域政府在战争之中几乎已经完全被掏空了家底，搞不起这种支援了；原本被星域政府依赖的金狄星，也在舔舐伤口，外加机油佬们并不想掺和进来，处于中立状态，给的支援相当少。   他们付不起联盟给的代价。   要不是不少星球上的统治者，比较疑虑联盟的体制，担心自身权利受损，恐怕倒向联盟的星球就更多了。   但对此，联盟也有一些改变。   联盟是那么好加入的？你想加入都不一定有那个机会呢！   这些星球充其量也就被发展成外围势力，经济援助也是要拿东西出来交换的。   港口、资源、人力、订单、市场……   可不白给。   这是个互惠互利的过程，联盟并不谋求统治。   The doubts of some planets were dispelled, and with the alliance’s military strength and the influence of Fury driven out, they finally chose to stand on the side of the alliance.   In general, both sides have gains and losses in their territorial enclosure.   A series of battles of wits and courage are still going on.   In addition to paying attention to these overall issues, Gu Hang is also worried about one thing.   He now has tens of millions of gift points on hand, how can he spend them?   (End of this chapter)
