Chapter 217, the first senior official to be dismissed from the alliance
After discussing with his mother, Gu Hang finally decided to send a team of about 3 people to accompany him to Black Arrow Star.
The reason for this number is mainly due to the loading capacity and delivery capacity.
They will stay in the starship as sailors and crew members.
It's not that it can't hold more people. In fact, there are nine starships that Wang Qi took on the action this time, four of which are 'big belly' transport ships.
This thing can be said to be famous in the interstellar trade.It wasn't fast, it didn't have heavy armor, it wasn't even designed to interface with weapons, and it didn't have the potential to be converted into an armed merchant ship.
But it has two advantages that make it the overlord in the interstellar trade: 1. It is big, and it can be installed. 2. It's cheap.
The maximum population that the 'Giant Belly' can carry can reach 2000 million people—although there would be no quality of life to speak of, and people are treated as cargo, but it can indeed hold so many people.
However, in addition to the loading capacity, the delivery capacity must also be considered.
Gu Hang really gave Wang Qi the entire [-] army, and with the delivery ability of the caravan she led, it would take a long time to send people to the ground.
3 people is the limit.
The troops selected by Gu Hang were the 34th Motorized Infantry Division and the 37th and 38th Mechanical Brigades.
There are three division-level units with a total of more than 10 people.Gu Hang sent several hundred special warfare elites from the 3th Brigade, plus some civilian officers, making a total of [-] people.
Gu Hang hoped that they wouldn't be able to use it, just go to an armed parade, it would be best to hold a military parade at the Black Arrow Star, and show the appearance of the Nu Xiaoxing.
When they really come in handy, that matter may become very troublesome, and the worst scenario guessed by Gu Hang may happen.
He didn't want to see that scene very much, but he was indeed preparing for it.
...
The fleet led by Wang Qi has just set off from Flying Wing Star.
Generally speaking, the fastest route from Flying Wing Star to Black Arrow Star is to go through two interstellar tunnels, first from Flying Wing Star to the Kologa 3 galaxy, and then to the Black Arrow Galaxy.
However, since Wang Qi has already decided to visit Nu Xiaoxing, she can first come to Nu Xiaoxing from Kologa 3, and then go to Black Arrow through the astral tunnel from Nu Xiaoxing.
There are a total of three astral tunnels in the Nuoxiao galaxy, two of which lead to Kologa 3 and Black Arrow respectively, and one goes out of the Tianma star area to the orange chrysanthemum star in the next door Amber star area up.
Calculating according to the time, it will take about half a month for Wang Qi's fleet to reach Fu Xiao Star.
Then there is no need to make any special preparations, just let the troops get ready.
In the past half a month, several things have happened.
One's own business.
...
Just after Gu Hang decided which troop to send to Black Arrow Star to serve as his mother's bodyguard, a high-ranking official of the alliance came to see him.
He sat in his office seat, listening to Denison Henry's chattering complaints with a blank face.
Speaking of this one, he also joined Gu Hang's forces very early on.At first, he was just a merchant in Trash Town, and he didn't even get the identity of Trash Town's agent. But in the early days of Gu Hang, he invested in Gu Hang and helped him a little.
He has reaped huge returns on this investment.
Today, he has become the head of the province of the alliance's high tower province, which can be regarded as fulfilling the original investment.
Back then, his goal was to hope that the Governor-General could support him to become the leader of Trash Town.But now, not only Trash Town is under his control, but with Trash Town and the ruins of the high tower as the core, a large area around it is included in the High Tower Province, all of which are under his jurisdiction.
In the past, Gaota Province was considered the smallest of the three central provinces, both in terms of population and area.
Recently, when Yan Fangxu led the Central Group Army to pacify the eastern provinces, a large amount of land and settlements in the border areas were planned into the High Tower Province.
This has more than tripled the area of the High Tower Province; the population has also increased from the original 30 to 140 million, which is four or five times the original.
Not only that, but in the ruins of the tower, the use of waste energy storms is also at the forefront of the entire league.Just relying on that one industry, the compressed energy crystal blocks produced are enough to eat.
With this contribution, coupled with the veterans established as the alliance, they can build relationships and build some industries, especially recently Weixing City is clearing out some consumer industrial products and simple military industries, and there are many industries that have recently been established by the alliance. The production lines of these construction machines were not placed in Weixing City, but were thrown into other surrounding areas.
On the one hand, this is to support production in other regions, establish an industrial chain for the entire alliance, and bring the connections between the various parts of the alliance closer; on the other hand, Weixing City needs to concentrate more on the production of key products.
Under such circumstances, Denison Henry can rely on his old relationship, and rely on the fact that he is relatively close to the energy production area, and the high tower province is relatively close to Weixing City, so it is easier to eat those industrial lines that have moved out.
It stands to reason that Denison Henry should be satisfied.
As long as he guards his own province,
But he doesn't.
He is still looking for one thing: he hopes that the ground part of the starport to be built by Fu Xiaoxing can be located within his jurisdiction.
Speaking of this matter, the relevant technical blueprints have been handed over to Wu Jiarong for arrangement. Through on-the-spot investigation, she found several places suitable for building star ports.
There are several alternative locations, generally concentrated in the east of Fuxing City, at the junction of Gaota Province and Xiongya Province.
The two sides naturally began to fight openly and secretly.
Obviously, if the ground part of the star port can be completed within its own jurisdiction, then the construction of the star port in the future will bring huge economic benefits, and it will obviously have a huge boost to the development of its own province. .
Originally, Henry was full of confidence in his ability to win the construction right.
However, the final result made him very disappointed.
The final site was chosen at a place called 'Scaro Heights' in Xiongya Province.
Henry was very annoyed by this. He made more than one disturbance in the Union government, had several intense face-to-face exchanges with Ossina, and sued the Alliance Development Department for engaging in cliques and excluding him.Because the new governor of Xiongya Province is an official from the Ministry of Development, they are taking care of their own people, regardless of the multiple investigation reports issued by the Alliance Research Institute.
He insisted that the alternative Starport address in Tower Province was more suitable than Scarlo Heights.
In the exact words he sprayed in front of Ossina:
"Do you want to be in a relationship? You like to be in a relationship, right? Isn't my relationship stronger and harder than everyone else's? Even you are from the first batch of refugees I brought to the governor from Fuxing City back then! I It's still the governor's first investor! That guy named Rafal, what kind of bastard is he? He deserves to fight with me?!"
Why does Gu Hang know so clearly?
Because it was passed to his ears by the alliance's internal affairs department.
For Henry's strength, Ossina is a bit difficult to do.
In actual work, she did reject Henry's requests many times, even in person.But when she was sprayed, she couldn't stand it up and let the guards throw Henry out.
At any rate, he is a high-ranking provincial official of the alliance and a veteran of the alliance. What he said about "Osena was brought to the governor by him" is indeed the truth.
It's really not good to make your face too ugly.
It is one thing to persuade with kind words, and another is to resolutely refuse unreasonable requests.
But Henry is obviously not satisfied with this.
Seeing that Ossina, the prime minister of the alliance, refused to meet his request, he left a few ugly words indignantly.
What's 'ungrateful', what's 'you are useless as prime minister', and then came to see Gu Hang.
Of course, it is impossible for him to act so domineering in front of Gu Hang.
On the contrary, his attitude was very low, he fell down on the ground as soon as he entered the door, and began to tell his grievances with snot and tears.It wasn't until Gu Hang asked him to get up with some impatience after saying it several times, that he was willing to get up, sat on a chair brought by the waiter, and continued to complain.
The more Gu Hang listened, the more annoyed he became.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised a document in his hand, and slammed it on Denison Henry's face.
"Look carefully for yourself!" Gu Hang stared at this man, "Are you going to continue to play tricks on me in front of me?"
The crying and complaining stopped abruptly.
Henry didn't expect that Gu Hang would be so angry, and he was stunned for a moment.
He glanced at the white paper that flew up and fell to the ground. He was familiar with the content on it and had seen it many times.
It says that the site selection of the High Tower Province is indeed slightly better than the Scarrow Heights in terms of environment.This is also the basis for his many troubles.
Gu Hang looked at him with no intention of repenting at all, and was extremely disappointed.
He said: "You have delayed my star port construction plan for more than a week just for this selfish benefit? Do you think I have plenty of time?"
"Yes, the location of the High Tower Province does have slightly better natural conditions, but not much better, and the substitution is very high."
"But in other places, Scaro Heights simply crushes you!"
"The alliance's major infrastructure project started three months ago. Look at what you have done in these three months. The construction of roads and railways has opened up a road from Garbage Town to Weixing City. The route to Fuxing City and other projects are dragging on and on. Especially the project to the east, it has been delayed until now and has not even started!"
"Do you think that I don't know your little thoughts at all? You think that the land cut out from Yan Fangxu's Eastern Expedition is not enough, and the expansion of the High Tower Province is not enough; you think that the High Tower Province and the eastern The industries of the provinces are very similar, they are all key resource production areas, there is not much room for cooperation, but the competition is fierce. Will the railway and road network of Gaota Province be connected with Xiongya Province in parallel to let people make money for nothing? "
"I definitely don't think so!"
Henry plopped down on his knees again.
Gu Hang was even more disgusted: "When did the Alliance have such kneeling etiquette?"
Henry stood up again in embarrassment.
"I don't care if you think so or not, and I don't want to argue with you about this issue." Gu Hang continued, "I only look at the facts in front of me. The Ministry of Development has formulated a multi-phase infrastructure plan, and you can't understand these What is the meaning behind the plan? It's because you have blind eyes, because you are indifferent to the overall development of the alliance, which is your dereliction of duty. And what you did wrong is that you don't understand and don't want to implement it!"
"Four months were given for the first phase of the project, and now three months have passed, and the project goal of your high tower province has only been realized a little more than half. Every other province has completed the plan better than you Good. Even the Wangcha Province, which has the shortest establishment time, has advanced the project to more than half. The Xiongya Province has completed the first phase of the construction project, and has also built a number of road networks in the Scaro Highlands. It will facilitate the logistics work after the establishment of the Star Port in the future."
"Rafal's plan, from the material transportation and personnel support needed for the construction of the star port, to the planning of the transportation hub city that the ground part of the star port relies on, all have plans and are already in the process of being implemented. Why does the development department Do you want to give up that place and choose your high-tower province? Just because you haven't finished building the railway yet? At that time, the engineering team of Xinggang Construction will drive the iron bull truck to transport tens of millions of construction materials from the mud road. Will it be transported to the construction site?"
"I..." Henry's forehead was full of cold sweat, "It's not that there is no construction, I also have related plans..."
"Come on, you, because of your nonsense, the Star Port construction plan has been forced to be postponed for a week. Do I have to wait for you for another two months to finish all the basic projects that you should have built long ago? Do you want to start the plan?"
Speaking of this, Gu Hang has lost the desire to continue talking with Denison Henry on this matter.
He gave his final decision:
"Henry, I am grateful for your help a year and a half ago, but you have gained more because of it. My tolerance for you is limited. I don't want you to talk about these things all day long and ignore actual work."
"I asked you to be the head of the High Tower Province. Don't think it is a reward for your past achievements. To be honest, is what you did at the beginning enough to be rewarded with a province? Let you be the leader of this province. Leader, I hope you can contribute your ability to make our business better and flourish, not for you to rest on your laurels."
"I am very disappointed with this incident. I think you are not suitable to govern a province. I will let Ossina choose a more suitable candidate to replace you. However, your C9 rank, as well as related benefits and allowances will be Keep it, this is my gratitude to you for your help."
Hearing this, Denison Henry was already pale.
I am... dismissed?
Since the establishment of the alliance, the first senior provincial and ministerial official to be dismissed was me?
Henry's bowels were remorseful.
