Chapter 318, not only interesting, but also very big
After finishing the conversation with Leader Pedes, several people said goodbye, and Gu Hang returned with his mother.
They said nothing on the way, each thinking.
It wasn't until they got back to their safe place that they started talking about the whole thing.
Wang Qi worriedly reminded Gu Hang: "Governor Koluga... don't be confused. Now, this is a huge pit, and it is not comparable to when you went to the Wrath Star alone. Once you don't handle it well, You and the entire Gu family will die without a burial place."
"I understand, I won't be fooled." Gu Hang nodded and sighed again, "What a tempting fat man, but it's a pity that it's covered in dog shit."
Gu Hang's emotion came from the bottom of his heart.
To be honest, when Peddes proposed to nominate a person from the Gu family to serve as the governor of Koroga after Akuna's death, he was really heartbroken.
How could you not be moved?In comparison, the population of Koroga is a thousand times that of Raging Owl!
If Gu Hang can control this planet, rely on black boxes, and complete the political and economic transformation of the entire planet, allowing dozens of hives on the entire planet with a total population of 400 billion to burst out with strong productivity, then the value of this planet will be It will become huge!
But...the difficulty is too high.
Koroga 3 is not the Raging Owl. There are too many local forces here, which are complicated. In terms of objective conditions, it has potential. At the same time, the huge population also brings terrifying environmental pressure.
Gu Hang couldn't simply copy his success on Raging Owl to Koroga 3, which had a completely different ecology.
What's more, the situation here is already bad enough. Add to it the political struggle in the Pegasus sector and this is the core vortex. Add to that the large-scale invasion of the plague demon. Not only has it not been controlled, but it has become even worse... …
This is what Gu Hang calls 'fat meat covered in shit'.
Now is definitely not a good time to take over Koroja 3.At this point in time, whoever comes to power will be the scapegoat and the victim.
"Old Fofana didn't accept Pedes's invitation to run for the next head of the sector, right?" Gu Hang asked softly.
"Yes, General Fofana probably doesn't mean this."
Gu Hang nodded slightly: "It's easy to understand. They are a military family. What are they doing to run for the head of this sector? They stand on the front desk for nothing, but they lack the support of political forces. It is not easy to be elected. The key is to elect There are no concrete benefits after joining, but instead you have to face the pressure of Fachus."
"Alas..." Wang Qi sighed, "It's difficult."
Gu Hang knew what his mother was feeling.
Once Akuna and Peddes died, the Sun Lord's investigation team stopped coming, and the investigation teams from the Star Territory and Space Territory walked away, leaving behind a huge mess.
The original balance of power in the Tianma Star District will be directly broken.
Objectively speaking, Peters is a very qualified star sector leader.Although there is a political opponent of Falches in the sector, the opponent also has a huge influence on the Astra Militarum in the sector.But he was also able to firmly suppress the Fachers family in terms of population and production scale by supporting his brother to become the Governor of the Winged Star and uniting with Governor Akuna of Koroga.In addition, the alliance with the Fofana family and the use of the Winged Star's developed economic strength, especially the shipbuilding industry, have a strong impact on the Imperial Navy.
Under this situation, there is no doubt that he is very advantageous in the star region, and he is not the leader of many other star regions.
What's more valuable is that he is a man who knows how to exercise restraint.Although the advantage was great and the relationship was very bad, he never pushed Faches to death, lest the super-powerful family that controlled three planets and had a total population of over [-] billion jump over the wall.All struggles can basically be controlled below the water's surface, which objectively ensures the stability of the entire star region.
Although some operations went awry - such as tricking Gu Hang's predecessor into becoming the governor of the Raging Owl - overall, he was an excellent leader and generally able to control the stability of the Pegasus sector.
If this situation continues, it is foreseeable that the Tianma Star Region will continue to enjoy peace for decades.In the visible future, no one can adjust the stable situation in the Tianma Star Region.
But... the disappearance of Gallardo completely shattered the foundation of stability.The deaths of Akuna and Peddes represent the immediate emergence of a huge power vacuum.
What actions will the Fachers family, which has been suppressed in the past few years, take?
How to quell the intensifying evil invasion in Koroga?
The people above didn't seem to have thought much about this issue. They just killed two people hastily and arrogantly, made them 'responsible', and called it a day.
And Gu Hang is powerless against this... Oh, it seems that I caused all this?
But to be honest, even though he was the initiator, he never expected that things would develop in this direction.
It can only be said that the inherent political conflicts in the sector, as well as the crisis events that Koroja itself is encountering, can no longer be sustained after Gu Hang's stab.
...
Later, old Fofana brought his granddaughter Yelicia to visit the Gu family and their son.
During the conversation, it turned out that the Fofana family had no intention of taking over, as expected by Wang Qi and Gu Hang.After Peter's death, they did not want to be pushed to the front desk and confront the forces that were secretly preparing to move.
But the next situation started to turn into chaos.
The next day, Peddes ended his life honorably. The investigation teams hurriedly took the bodies of Akuna and Peddes and left Koroga 3.Next, the two forces in the star area began an all-out war.
On the one side is Fachus, who was moved by the news, and they began to compete for the positions of Governor of Koroga No. 3 and the head of the Pegasus Sector.
Unlike others, Falches has three civilized planets as capital in his left hand, and his right hand has a huge influence on the Astra Militarum unit of the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion. If they take over Koroja, they will really be capable. Stabilize the situation here.
Currently, there are 700 million Astra Militarum fighting here, but they are fully capable of doubling this number within a year; if not, tens of millions more can be mobilized from the planetary defense forces on the three planets. .
This is a huge advantage of size.
And once they control Koroga, plus the original three planets of Farches 1, 2, and 3, the population they control will reach upwards of 500 billion, which is almost [-]% of the population of the entire sector. .
If they use this power to win the position of leader of the Pegasus sector, they will become the undisputed emperors of the entire sector and return to the glory of their family.
This so-called family glory refers to the history of the Faches family.
Before the Pegasus Sector was recaptured by the Empire, the Faches family was the one who called the shots here.After the golden age of mankind, the major worlds fell apart and went their own way.The Faches family grew rapidly in that dark age. They controlled three planets in this system, formed a three-star political alliance, and became the rulers of it.
After the end of the Dark Ages, when the Empire's fleet came to the Fachus Galaxy, they offered three planets, surrendered to the Empire, and actively participated in the Empire's expedition, which also allowed them to retain the rights of the three planets afterwards. The position of governor permanently remained in his family.He even once controlled the entire Tianma Star Region.Many past sector leaders were controlled by the Faches family.
Until the arrival of Peders, this man of power who was a senior official of the Star Territory Government, during the decades he became the leader of the Pegasus Star Territory, he vigorously suppressed the Faches family's control over the entire Star Territory, almost reducing their influence. The force pushed it back into its own star system.
Now is a great opportunity for them to regain their family's glory and become the 'Wranglers' of Pegasus again.
But similarly, the other force will not give up so easily.
Peters was dead, but he was the only one who died.The political legacy he left behind is not dead. Even his younger brother is still the governor of the Winged Star. From this, we can see how rough the empire has been in solving the problems in the Pegasus sector.But it's also very Empire style.
Before Peter died, he still managed to get enough.He already had a relatively wide network of contacts in the Star Territory Government, and quite a few people even sympathized with his death. They felt that the Sun Lord was messing around, and they all knew that he was the one taking the blame.
He made good use of these, keeping his brother's position, not letting little Peddes be implicated, and even tried to continue to hold Gu and Fofana, and continue to tie them together.
If all of Peddes' previous requests were fulfilled, it would be really stable.
Old Fofana was the leader, and together with the Imperial Navy, he still belonged to his own faction; the Gu family found someone to be the governor of Koroga, but he also belonged to his own faction; and little Peddes was still the governor of the Winged Star.
In this way, the original political entity that comprehensively suppressed the Faches family can generally be retained.
Originally, Peddes may have many means to ensure that Gu and Fofana follow his plan.However, no matter how many methods he had, they were of no use. He had no time. After Gu and Fofana rejected his plan, he did not even have time to carry out the second persuasion and activity, and his life was lost.
As for little Peddes... in Gu Hang's opinion, he was not as capable as his older brother.
After his brother's death, he broke out and cursed Gu and Fofana at multiple meetings and banquets, calling them 'traitors'; at the same time, he fully mobilized the political legacy left by his brother and began to follow Fachus engages in all-out political war.
This war mainly involves two battlefields, one is inside Koroga 3, and the other is the star domain government.
The birth of a new governor can be appointed by the empire, but the empire center cannot control so many things. To put it bluntly, governments at all levels should report it. Generally, there is no big problem, and the empire center will give approval.Here, the government at the Star Territory level has a great say.
But similarly, the status of Governor means that he must have sufficient control over the entire planet.He is the leader of the military and government and shoulders the heavy responsibility of imperial taxes. He must be able to solve the troubles on this planet and ensure that taxes can be paid normally.
No matter how it is settled, it doesn't matter what it is.
Is there an airborne governor?Of course there is.But as long as they are not the type to mess with people and send them to death, the airborne governor must be a "powerful dragon" and come to the planet with powerful resources to suppress the "local snakes".
Is the Star Territory Government willing to produce such a powerful dragon?
I'm afraid I don't want to.
Although the Star Territory Government is large and powerful, its resources are limited.
Another way is to choose one from the local snakes, and this problem won't be solved.
If this is the case, the star region government will fully consider the situation within the star region and the planet and find someone they think can stabilize the situation.
This is the point where Farches and Little Peddes are fighting for.
On Yunluo Star, officials at all levels of the star domain government who are able to speak out will probably continue to receive lobbyists coming to their door in the coming period.
And the other battlefield, that is, inside the planet, is the step to pick out this 'local snake'.
To put it bluntly, both families are looking for spokespersons.This spokesperson must be strong enough to unite other local forces, and must also side with himself.
I'm afraid that various wooing and exchange of interests are indispensable in this.
This is only on the surface.
Secretly, assassinations, lies, conspiracies, frame-ups, frame-ups... are all indispensable.
Gu and Fofana are leaning together, probably showing a bit of neutrality, but who can really be neutral?
Fortunately for Gu, at least not long ago, she had tried to repair the relationship with Farches; when Gu Hang was on the Angry Owl, wiping out Blackbird Heavy Industries, he had a small amount of intimidation from Farches. , causing them to bleed some, but to put it bluntly, they were wiping their butts. The evidence of the Iron Man rebellion obtained from Blackbird was also hidden and was not handed over to Peddes.
But Fofana was different. They had participated in suppressing Faches before.
Everyone has a grudge.
Over the years, the alliance between Gu, Fofana and Peddes has created an intricate and close relationship between the two parties, making it difficult for them to let go of each other at once.
To put it bluntly, the Pegasus fleet is in the star area; Gu's Trading Company mainly operates in the star area, and the Raging Owl Star is also in the star area.This whirlpool that is gradually spreading to the entire star region will definitely not be completely avoided by you here.
Wang Qi has become visibly busy, and has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with her son's carefree behavior of being a shopkeeper with his hands slumped.
But Gu Hang just smiled and said a few perfunctory words every time, without really getting involved.
It's not that he doesn't pay attention to it, it's just that he has other things to be busy with.
Does what you are fighting over have a lot to do with me?
Taking advantage of this opportunity to gain some real benefits is the real thing.
There were two things he was eyeing.
One, of course, is population.
The least valuable thing on Koruga 3, but the most precious thing in Gu Hang's eyes, was the population.
Except for its population, the world was worthless to him.
At least there was a governor named Acuna here before, and behind this governor was Peddes.Now that all these are gone, it will be easier and more convenient for Gu Hang to recruit people.
As for the second thing he was eyeing, it was the position of the Governor of Black Arrow Star.
He has no interest in being the governor of Koroga, at least not yet. He is neither a local snake nor a strong dragon in a place as big as Koroga.
But the interest in the Governor of Black Arrow Star is not only there, but also very great.
