Chapter 53, Second Generation Governor
Gu Hang smiled.
He walked forward and gave Lambert a big hug: "I want to believe you. Welcome to join, young comrade."
Lambert's statement was sincere, but Gu Hang didn't completely believe it.
It’s just that this guy has brought a group of people, and if he is asked to disarm, he will disarm, and if he is asked to work, he will work. So what is there to worry about?
Gu Hang doesn't expect anything from them, and he doesn't know how to use them to do important work. He just cleans the battlefield and acts as a porter. Who does this? Just use them and that's it.
As for trust, it is not expressed through words.
As time goes by and he experiences more things, he will always show his true self.
Moreover, this guy brought an even bigger surprise to Gu Hang.
Following him, in addition to 500 armed soldiers, there were more than 2,000 refugees.
According to Lambert, they were recruited from outside the city when he set out.
The reason why he did this was that he heard about a businessman named Denison Henry who had recruited refugees for the Governor. It seemed that the Governor's manpower gap was quite large, so he also did this once when he set out.
.
Not only that, he also arranged for people to carry out long-term migration propaganda outside Fuxing City. He spread the word that the governor would have good jobs and good treatment here, and he would be able to eat, clothe and not die from hunger.
Yo ho, the young man is very smart.
Gu Hang felt very happy.
For this reason, he was too embarrassed to complain when he called old Hodgson.
But there is really nothing to spray.
The attack should indeed have nothing to do with them, at least there is currently no evidence to prove this. It was the cultists who carried out the attack, and the powerful storm magic made this clear.
Moreover, before the attack, it was Hodgson who gave him advance warning.
At that moment, Old Hodgson also said that they had made further progress in their investigation of the cult. They captured two middle-level missionaries from the original Angry Owl sect and learned that the cult organization was indeed secretly expanding its presence in Fuxing City.
Action, there may be a plan in progress. If you continue to follow this line, you should gain more.
In addition to the cult issues that Gu Hang used to manipulate the coalition government, Hodgson's performance in other aspects also made Gu Hang quite satisfied.
Sending a grandson here, saying that he is here to serve him or to be a hostage, is a manifestation of his attitude. But in fact, he also made his attitude very clear. Five hundred soldiers,
Two thousand refugees may not be a big deal; Hodgson has implicitly promised that in Fuxing City, he will act in accordance with the instructions of the governor and cooperate with the governor.
But Hodgson also said that he needs the Governor to understand his difficulties. He is the Speaker of Parliament, but he does not say anything. He directly provides resources, promotes a certain decree, replaces a certain MP, mobilizes the army on a large scale... these ultimately require discussion by the entire Parliament.
, and form a resolution.
Gu Hang didn't put any pressure on this matter.
There's no point in forcing it.
At present, Hodgson is probably on his side, at least judging from his attitude. It doesn't make much sense to force him. On the contrary, Gu Hang still needs Hodgson to help him force those congressmen.
This time, Gu Hang chatted with Hodgson for a long time.
From what he needs Hodgson to do, what support he can provide, how to advance Gu Hang's will step by step, what kind of situation the Fuxing City will reach and whether Gu Hang will consider re-entering the city; it even touches on a little bit about him joining the league.
After truly taking over the authority of the Governor, what kind of policies and reforms will be implemented, and how will the entire planet be able to pay taxes in two years while ensuring that the planet continues to develop...
The conversation was not in-depth, and most of it was just a superficial taste. After all, Gu Hang did not fully trust the parliament speaker who had stated that he would stand with him. But being able to talk about these topics and covering such a wide range of topics, Gu Hang
Hang also accepted the parliament speaker to some extent.
As for the present, Gu Hang has no plans to visit Fuxing City in the near future.
The problem of the cult has not yet been resolved, and his safety is not guaranteed when he goes to Fuxing City; the power is not completely centralized, and it is difficult to use his hands and feet there; his own strength is not accumulated enough, and he cannot keep his word when he arrives in Fuxing City...
…
But that time won't be too far away.
…
Fuxing City, inner city, a private club somewhere.
Three big figures who are well-known throughout the alliance are gathering here.
These three are all members of the Alliance, and each has a large property in Fuxing City.
However, their faces were all very gloomy.
Bradford said: "Everyone has finished listening to the recording. Don't be silent, let's talk about your thoughts."
He is a business tycoon in Fuxing City. He does not own many industries, but he has strong business channels in the southeast and northwest. Many things produced in Fuxing City can only be sold through his channels; things that Fuxing City does not produce can be sold.
, need his channels to buy it.
In Fuxing City, a place with a commercial hub as its core, one can imagine his status.
After Bradford finished speaking, the old man sitting next to him shook his head and said: "I still can't figure out why old Hodgson would do this? Isn't he afraid of repeating the situation of the second-generation governor?"
This man's name is Norris, and his family is an industrial tycoon in Fuxing City. His companies include food factories, chemical factories, textile factories and other important categories, and are also involved in the medical industry. He and Wohan are important allies, and Wohan
The collapse of his industry after his death had a huge impact on him.
When he mentioned the 'situation of the second generation governor', the expressions of the other two became gloomier.
They all recalled that terrible era in unison.
Twelve years ago, the second-generation governor came to the Raging Star on a frigate. At that time, the alliance was still very powerful. Although the structure was slightly loose, it was in line with the reality of the Raging Star. The major forces did not say that they bowed their heads and obeyed orders.
At least it will respond to the various requests of the coalition government.
This is a solid foundation laid by a generation of governors.
However, this foundation almost collapsed in just six years.
After the governor came to power and took control of the governor's power, he did not take the path of recuperation and development of the previous governor. He believed that the previous generation of governors had insufficient tax revenue precisely because of their kindness and weakness. The natives of Raging Owl Star are all
These disloyal people need to be punished with the harshest attitude to force them to pay taxes.
He sat in this position for six years. In the first two times, he paid enough imperial taxes through looting and coercion. But his tyranny also triggered turmoil that swept the entire world.
The flames of rebellion are everywhere. Some forces have left the alliance, some have rebelled, some have violently resisted, and some have been destroyed... In the past six years, the entire planet has suffered huge population losses. This kind of loss has caused a large amount of manpower to be used as an empire.
Taxes were handed over, and a large number of people died due to unrest, and died of starvation and freezing due to lack of supplies...
The first governor's seventeen years of rest and recuperation on Raging Owl were almost ruined. Naturally, the second generation governor was unable to support the third taxation and died at the hands of the Imperial Taxation Department.
Those six years are something every Wrathful Star person doesn’t want to live again.
No matter poor or rich.
The last of the three stood up.
He has a burly figure and still wears a camouflage military uniform when gathering with friends.
He is Mondoc, an Alliance general. In Fuxing City, the 10,000 soldiers, the more than 20 aircraft, and the 70 tanks are all theoretically his subordinates.
"Everything must get back on track, and old Hodgson's mistakes must be corrected."
"Is Parliament impeaching? I remember that the next parliament will start in four days, but we may not be able to succeed. Old Hodgson has been in business for so many years and has many supporters. It will take a lot of time for us to connect..."
"No." Mondoc rejected this idea, "That's too slow. We need a faster way."
The other two people were stunned.
They saw Mondoc's slightly ferocious expression.
