Chapter 14, Hypoxia
Don't get me wrong, Gu Hang is certainly not crazy because he thinks that with more than 400 people and four armored vehicles, he can take Fuxing City by force.
That's not realistic.
Fuxing City is the capital of the alliance. It has a permanent population of 130,000, and there are more than ten times this number of refugees. They rely on the city for food. It directly or indirectly controls the surrounding large and small survivor gathering places.
Hundreds to thousands.
Conventional military forces have tens of thousands of fully armed soldiers, a large number of artillery, and locally produced tanks and propeller aircraft. If necessary, they can even recruit mercenaries at any time that far exceed their standing strength.
In terms of military strength, the difference is too big.
However, if Gu Hang wants to capture Fuxing City, he does not necessarily have to rely on military means.
At least not by the army.
The four hundred people he has in hand are looking for trouble in Fuxing City, which is really a waste of time. But in orbit, the Quintet is floating there, and the starship macro cannon is aimed at Fuxing City. The power of the orbital bombing is enough to attack Fuxing City.
In one day, this city was wiped off the face of the earth.
This is the greatest military deterrence.
The other point is the political means starting from legitimacy.
At the same time, Gu Hang is the planetary governor, and the alliance government is theoretically the only legal regime on the Raging Owl. He is naturally the supreme leader of the alliance. Before him, every planetary governor who came to this planet was a fallen person.
Go to Fuxing City, inherit the alliance's political power, and then exercise the power of the governor.
In fact, Gu Hang did this in the beginning.
When he first obtained the system and hoped to get a territory that belonged to him, he felt that he had got a dream start. After landing, the entire planet would become my territory, so wouldn't the fixed income given by the system be directly filled up? Then rely on
System, no matter what kind of troubles we run into on the planet, they are always easy to come by. After two years of farming, I can still not pay my taxes?
The truth soon hit him in the face.
After landing, he received a warm welcome, but there was no movement at all from the system, which did not recognize his ownership of Fuxing City as a nominal leader, let alone the entire planet.
Therefore, Gu Hang, the dignified governor, came out to work alone.
In fact, he had some thoughts about this.
The first level is that the system does not recognize the territory, so if he does not have the territory, he cannot activate the system's ability, and there is no way to earn gifts. If the system cannot be effective, then of course he has to run out to find someone who can exert the system's effectiveness.
No way, otherwise would it be a waste of money?
On the second level, the system does not recognize the territory, which means there is huge trouble in Fuxing City. It is very difficult for him to gain real power through political struggle. Gu Hang does not think that he has never learned any tactics in time travel.
He has the ability to fight with those local snakes.
Even if there is a quintet in the sky, it is useless. Orbital bombing is the last resort. Can he really blow up Fuxing City? It is a common death. Until it is over, he will not use it at all when he is pulling back.
At best it's a deterrent.
On the third level, based on the first two points, he basically understood that the previous governors were unable to figure out the core of the problem of the Raging Owl Star. In addition to the harsh environment, dangers, and lack of productivity of the Raging Owl Star itself, I am afraid that another point is that they did not
The law completely and completely controls the power.
If the objective conditions are not good, and there are still internal conflicts, it is normal that it cannot develop and cannot pay imperial taxes.
Gu Hang couldn't follow the same old path, otherwise there would be little hope.
It was precisely because he considered multiple factors that he came out to start a new business.
But this does not mean that he does not want to revive the city.
It is the largest gathering place nearby, with abundant manpower, a developed light industry system, and a commercial and trade exchange center.
Gu Hang still had to take it down, and he couldn't delay it for too long, otherwise he would be executed if he couldn't pay the taxes in two years if he really relied on his own development.
He probably has some ideas on how to do it.
"Give me China Unicom Fuxing City." Gu Hang greeted.
"Yes!" Zhang Chao responded loudly and went to operate the radio.
He was the only person who was with Gu Hang when he came from the family. He was Gu Hang's entourage, a very smart young man.
Not long after, the communication was connected, and an old voice that sounded very tired sounded from the radio speaker: "Hello, Mr. Governor, this is Fuxing City, I am Miriam Hodgson."
Gu Hang had met the old man who called himself Miriam Hodgson once before, when he first landed on this planet.
This rather dignified old man is the chairman of the Alliance Council. During the absence of the Planetary Governor, he and the Alliance Council led by him are the actual people in power of Fuxing City. After the new governor takes office, he should step back and serve as the governor.
advisor, staff officer.
But it was obvious that Gu Hang, the unconventional governor, caught Hodgson completely off guard.
Tired.
Facing Hodgson, Gu Hang would not be as polite as he was when talking to Ye Lixia, and he was not interested in trying to reason with his emotions. Instead, he directly made the request in a commanding tone:
"I need one hundred tons of food, ten thousand sets of textiles and clothing, and various industrial consumer goods. I will give you a list and deliver it to my camp within a week."
After the words fell, there was no reply for a long time.
Gu Hang frowned: "Reply!"
He seemed very dissatisfied.
A young voice whispered from the other side: "General... Governor... Speaker of the Parliament, he... he..."
"What's wrong with him?"
"The President of the Council fainted!"
"Well……"
Gu Hang's first reaction was disbelief.
It's so easy to faint. I asked for hundreds of millions of things.
However, listening to the sounds of war and chaos over the radio, it seemed a bit real.
His second reaction was that he felt a little guilty.
Isn’t it bad to be so stimulating?
Then the third reaction was, 'I feel so guilty, you deserve it'.
He did it on purpose. It was an accident that caused Hodgson to faint, but it was no big deal.
Gu Hang coughed slightly and continued: "Anyway, you have all heard my request. This is the governor's order. There must be no shortage of supplies and no late arrival. That's it."
…
A few dozen minutes later, Fuxing City, the inner city council hall.
The silver-haired old man was wearing an oxygen mask and breathing heavily.
After Hodgson woke up, he convened the Alliance Parliament and publicly informed all Alliance members of the Governor's needs.
The crowd was excited and the MPs below were quarreling.
Hodgson, who was still wearing an oxygen mask, felt his brain hurt even more, and his vision went black.
He thought sadly that if he continued like this, he really wouldn't be able to live much longer.
He had to slap the table hard for several minutes before he slowly calmed down.
He took a deep breath of oxygen, then slowly took away the mask, and then said: "If we continue to argue like this, nothing will come of it. Let's vote. I'll see how many people have the guts to fly in the orbit of the Imperial cruiser.
Under the muzzle of the gun, you still dare to disobey the governor's order."
