Chapter 503, Financial Allocation
The areas that have been solved before are actually not particularly difficult.
Seven horses is the basic market.
The eight eastern star regions can be regarded as poor and poor. It would be better to increase investment and build wealth. Moreover, it is relatively easy and fast to build from poverty to self-sufficiency with external help, and the alliance is also experienced in this.
The political situation in Yunluo Center is very complicated, and it is true that chaos will easily occur, but at least the economic foundation is good, people will not starve to death, and with the backing of military power, no matter how big a chaos is, it will not cause chaos.
But the next two areas are really difficult.
The first is the four major star regions of Jiangmeiyu, Tieguan, Kuoluo, and Yinguan.
These are areas that have fallen into the Orc Empire for decades, and there are almost no humans left. Although, among these planets, the planets with the highest concentration of orcs were directly hit by the Alliance's extermination order, and the remaining worlds are still being bombarded from orbit all the time.
A considerable part of the alliance's army has already entered the surface, training troops in a round-robin manner while wiping out the green-skinned forces.
Sooner or later, the greenskins in these four star regions will be cleared away; and now, the alliance has actually arranged for immigrants to enter these four star regions.
But no matter what, in the 42 worlds in these four star regions, it is estimated that there are still to billion greenskins active on the ground.
In addition, in the western part of the star field, in addition to the four star districts in the center of Yunluo, there are 11 star districts that are in a state of total loss.
These forty-odd worlds are a pure money loss, and there is no way to turn it around. We can only hope to clean it up as soon as possible.
But at least, after cleaning up to the point where all ecology and most of the green-skinned bodies have been wiped out, these planets will have value for reuse.
However, this reconstruction will take a long time, and it will be completely started from scratch, and the population will need to migrate from outside.
The Alliance doesn't have to think about what benefits these forty worlds can bring. In the foreseeable decades, I am afraid this number will be relatively pitiful.
Because of bombing and suppression, these greenskins hid in the mountains and dug holes in the ground. In short, they tried their best to survive.
They will control the various resources that the Alliance has invested in this star region. With the support of military power, they need to complete the screening of planets within their jurisdiction.
The huge cost being invested now is actually to eradicate the green skin threat. Otherwise, if these 60 billion green skins are left to thrive in more than 40 worlds, then maybe there will be another large-scale green wave like the Iron-toothed Orc Empire in a few decades.
These sectors are some real trouble.
However, these sector heads will not be 'pastors' in the traditional sense of the empire, and the alliance will give them great authority.
These are to be tackled one by one.
Those with low cooperation and stubborn local interest groups, OK, since you like the old way, then keep it the same way. The Alliance will not spend a dime on these places, nor will they build governments. Instead, they will focus on the local planetary governors and interest groups and ask them to do two things: First, it is the imperial tax, no matter how you exploit the people. , anyway, I will pay all the imperial taxes that should be paid.
Even if we continue to bomb and dispatch ground troops to clear up, according to the estimates given by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Alliance General Staff, it will still take about three to five years before the clearing can be basically completed.
The Alliance will appoint sector leaders one after another.
These immigrants are not to develop the planet, but to serve as a permanent force to build fortresses on the planet. By the way, they also build some arsenals and food factories to provide on-site supplies to the alliance troops fighting locally and reduce logistical pressure.
It has no ruling foundation and has had little contact with the alliance in the past;
Having suffered the ravages of war to varying degrees, they were originally underdeveloped and are now even worse off;
The political forces that once cooperated with Raging Flame are widespread;
Those with saving value, those who actively join the alliance, and those with low governance costs, we will establish an alliance-style direct government to develop whatever needs to be developed. The people's basic life will be guaranteed in accordance with the alliance's rank standards. The limited economy gained in the star region Assistance is invested in these worlds and strives to develop them as soon as possible and get rid of the loss situation.
Second, it is to ensure that the population size does not decrease. If there is a series of large-scale population declines such as civil strife, war, famine, plague, etc., the Alliance will forcefully hold people to account, dismount their horses when they should, and execute them when they should.
It cannot be said to be complete. In fact, any world that has suffered a large-scale invasion by green skins cannot be said to have completely eradicated green skins for a long time. Long-term prevention and treatment is absolutely indispensable. Once you relax a little, the green skins may grow out of nowhere, giving people a big surprise.
Don't like the league's rules?
Then treat it according to the rules of the empire.
If it follows the rules of the empire, the alliance does not have to bear such a huge financial burden.
People's lives are poor, economic development is poor, political corruption, military construction is poor... none of these have anything to do with the alliance.
Just pay the tax to me.
Anyway, the alliance now controls the star domain government, and the star domain government can keep 30% of the imperial tax. In this case, the Alliance has not invested half a dime in this planet, and it is not unacceptable to receive % tax.
And if it is done so badly that the inhabitants of the planet cannot survive, then the Alliance will have an excuse to intervene. It will directly clear out the planet by force in accordance with the rules of the empire and start over from scratch. There will be no need to fight with local interest groups and the planet will be confiscated. All private property within the country was established, a unionized government was established, and military control was maintained.
If it's done well... wouldn't everyone be happy? The tax amount should be raised as much as possible. Once it reaches a certain level, the alliance can think of individual ways to pick the peaches.
But this kind of situation is probably rare in a hundred planets.
According to this decision, the alliance's financial revenue and expenditure will also have a balance.
There is a fiscal surplus of about 1500 billion a year, plus a total of 1300 billion in imperial taxes, and 390 billion can be used for personal use.
This is the total revenue of 1890 billion.
About 1000 billion has been invested in military maintenance and construction, accounting for 52.9%. It can be called militarism, but there is no way around it. This is the trend in this universe. In fact, the alliance's proportion may be quite small.
The navy needs new ships and even a new fleet; the army needs to expand to two billion regular troops. Since the Alliance has direct jurisdiction over many planets, the Alliance must also bear the burden of building the defense forces of these planets, which is another huge expenditure...
Everyone is crying poverty.
Although 100 billion is a lot, it feels stretched.
Around 400 billion, as the maintenance of rule, including personnel expenses, government expenses and public services;
Around 490 billion, as a government-led reinvestment in economic production, including investment in infrastructure construction and industrial production...
The good news is that the Alliance can convert some armies into Astra Militarum. This part of the military expenditure can be reimbursed to the empire.
This was the condition he negotiated when he came back from Holy Terra. But don't go too far.
The tax he originally had to pay to the empire every year was about 910 billion. It would definitely not be possible to exceed this number. The empire would not allocate additional funds; even if the limit was stuck at this number, it would not be possible. That would be a bit excessive and make people feel greedy. .
Gu Hang planned to establish 25 army groups in the first year, which would be 300 billion tax dollars. Then the entire Dragon Eagle Legion that originally existed in the Star Territory was annexed into the Raging Bear Legion.
In this way, the new Raging Bear Legion will have about 10 billion troops, which is 50 army groups. About another 100 billion can be deducted from annual maintenance fees.
The navy was no longer involved. Gu Hang didn't want to put the warships he had worked so hard to save into the Imperial Navy.
The Tianma Fleet and the Yunluo Fleet are now in the naval hierarchy, so there is no other way but to rely on his wife, the admiral, to unite their forces; however, the current Alliance fleet has also caught up from behind. A Retribution-class battleship is already something that the two major fleets of Tianma and Yunluo cannot compare with, let alone the fact that the Alliance will soon have a battlecruiser that will continue to be completed.
Gu Hang has even started construction of two new battle cruiser docks at the same time. One was built on the Raging Owl Star, and the other was built on the Yunluo Star.
The one on Raging Owl relies on technological black boxes, and the Alliance has experience. But the black box can only support the construction of one shipyard at a time. After all, the black box can only build those important production components one by one.
Yunluo Star can only be realized by relying on technical blueprints and the shipbuilding engineers on Yunluo Star.
This is why Gu Hang wants to take care of Yunluo Star, including the entire core area centered on Yunluo.
Only Yunluo's level of development can support the expansion of the production lines of some advanced technological products by relying solely on technical blueprints after leaving the black box.
Once the two battle cruiser docks are completed, it will not only greatly stimulate economic development, but at the same time, the construction speed of three battle cruisers in five years has been quite satisfying. Many foundry worlds do not have this capacity. Give Gu Hang some time, and even if he doesn't have a serious battleship, he can build a powerful luxury fleet!
What's more, who says the Alliance can't produce battleships?
Gu Hang now has a lot of gift points on hand!
...
After finishing this long, boring, but necessary meeting, and determining the development path of the entire Dragon Eagle Star Territory by region and direction, Gu Hang went to 'rest'.
The star domain government on Yunluo Planet is quite elegantly built, with an oriental charm that Gu Hang remembered.
Aromatherapy turns into smoke, which is light and airy. It not only smells good, but also has some special effects. This is a special plant from a planet next door, and there are many different species. You can use it to refresh your mind during meetings or at work.
In places such as entertainment halls, lounges and bathhouses, soothing incense is placed.
After the meeting, Gu Hang soaked in a hot spring. The smell of incense, mixed with the fragrance of flowers in the hot water springs, creates a very comfortable atmosphere.
Even Gu Hang would find this a kind of enjoyment.
However, although he was taking a bath at the moment, in fact, he was not completely relaxing.
On the contrary, Gu Hang, who closed his eyes tightly, was actually dealing with very important things deep in his heart:
Spend his favor points.
In the past two years, he has accumulated a considerable amount of gift points on hand.
At present, his monthly gift point income has reached 17 per month.
It was already more than 2.5 times what it was before Gu Hang set off for Holy Terra.
With such a large growth, the most important thing is of course the alliance's actual control range, which has expanded to almost the entire Dragon Eagle Star Territory.
Of course, since there are still some problems with the dominance, it is estimated that there will be a numerical attenuation, and the increase in monthly gift points brought about by the expansion of the scale will not be linear. It does not mean that the increase in scale will double the increase. Instead, it will be like some kind of The milestone index is climbing up bit by bit.
But in general, through the expansion of scale and the improvement of alliance productivity, although the improvement in people's living standards is slow, it is indeed improving.
These factors can still affect the income of monthly gift points.
Of course, the income level of 17 per month has only increased recently, and it was not so high before.
But even so, the number of gift points Gu Hang currently has on hand has accumulated more than 2.2 million gift points.
However, in the past two years, the green skin eradication, especially the green skin eradication in the four occupied star areas, swept away about 30 billion in two years, which contributed about 9 million more gift points to Gu Hang. .
Judging from this speed, the Alliance still has 50 to 60 billion greenskins in those four star regions. If they are completely eliminated, it is estimated that Gu Hang can earn 17 to 8 million gift points.
If he saves a little bit more from his monthly income, if added up, Gu Hang will be able to save tens of millions of gift points every two years.
This is equivalent to ten consecutive draws of a million levels of technology!
At that moment, Gu Hang just smoked.
This time for ten consecutive runs, the income is stable.
One apocalyptic level technology, plus three epic levels.
I won't mention the other six.
The three epic-level technologies extracted are ['Valkyrie' Mecha], ['Eden' Ecosystem Technology], and ['Command-level' Aircraft Carrier].
The Command class belongs to the same cruiser class as the Moon class currently controlled by the alliance, but in fact the design styles of the two are completely different.
The Moon-class is a typical bucket, a standard all-round battleship with nothing outstanding, but the advantage of being easy to build can offset all shortcomings.
Besides, buckets are not a bad thing. Although there are no advantages in itself, there are no special flaws. You can fight against any type of opponent you encounter.
The command level is completely different.
Its firepower is not as good as the Yue-class, or even inferior to some destroyers; its speed is also slow; its armor is thicker, but not much better than the Yue-class.
Its biggest advantage is that a large number of weapons assemblies have been transformed into aviation decks.
This is a youth version of a cruiser-level aircraft carrier.
