Chapter 702: Building relationships
The human relationship established between Gu Hang and the alliance during this war is precious.
Of course, it is impossible to expect these favors to be on his side when he goes against Holy Terra. When the time comes to counter the rebellion, they will still come.
The stage where favors come into play is before the war breaks out.
To put it bluntly, Gu Hang didn’t really want to fall out with Holy Terra, and neither did Terra. However, there is a fierce contradiction between the expansion of the Alliance and the security of Holy Terra.
Those so-called favors are used to reconcile conflicts and ease situations.
However, if it is just a favor, it is still a bit too loose.
Humanity is something that will gradually dissipate over time.
Gu Hang needs to build a stronger and closer union as much as possible while the favor is still there.
The work of cleaning up the Zerg war is still going on, but as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Gu Hang has no intention of taking care of it anymore.
Occasionally, he just signed some reports and showed up at some military meetings. Most of the rest of the time was busy building relationships, dealing with people, and signing some agreements.
Among them, the more important ones are the things signed with each Space Marine Chapter.
In general, they are all ‘mutual military assistance agreements’.
However, according to the different nature of the target battle group, the agreements signed are also different.
As for the Phoenix and the 'Yellow Quan Ou Chapter' (Shadow Chapter reskin) that Gu Hang is about to launch, they are completely controlled by the alliance. From equipment to personnel to leadership, everything is under the control of the alliance. Then just give it a home planet and settle the planet normally, and there is no need to sign any special agreement.
For the Torch of the New Age and the Flames of Fury, the situation is a little different.
Although they are also completely controlled by the alliance, after all, they still have a redemption expedition.
For these two war groups, Gu Hang plans to sign an 'atonement agreement' with them. The alliance will have enough wars and they will need to participate in the war, and then spend their atonement time in these hundred years.
The so-called sufficient war has its own meaning, and it is not entirely a fictitious demand for war. Among the five star regions that Gu Hang has regarded as his own territory, there are clear threats at three star realm levels - pest control in the two star regions of Alfonzo and Nepeta, and the elimination of those incapacitated insect swarms. ; Planets in the Queen's Star Region that have not been dealt with by the Extermination Order must be recolonized; in the northern part of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, the areas left over from the Iron Teeth War that have not been cleared of orcs also need to be resolved through recolonization... …
It’s all about fighting.
In addition, in addition to these three obvious star domain-level threats, such as the Menghe Star Domain and the Proud Claw Star Domain, there are also pirate threats; with a scale of five star domains and four thousand worlds, the Alliance will still be there Among them, the reform of the alliance system must be promoted at a fast pace, and it must not be as precise as in the past when the territory was not large. It is normal for those groups whose interests have been harmed on this planet to cause some troubles.
Many social unrest cannot be solved by force. After all, people cannot be killed. However, in this era and here in the league, this statement does not apply very well.
As long as it doesn't become so chaotic that dozens or hundreds of worlds join together to start a rebellion, just a rebellion on the planet, then the alliance can really kill everyone and overthrow it and start over.
These rebellions are enough to summon the battle group of the Atonement Expedition to fight.
In short, they are on an "expedition" in the five star regions of the alliance, so they don't have to worry about fighting.
The empire's requirements for the Sentence Expeditionary Group are that they will not be provided with supplies or resources, and that during the expedition period, they must unconditionally accept the war call from the imperial forces.
The alliance can get stuck in this bug.
The empire won’t provide resources or supplies, but I will;
If I accept the war call unconditionally, then I will call it all the time. The war group is fighting all the time. If other forces want to call, they have to wait for the Atonement Chapter to finish the battle in front of them, right?
If it were another Atonement Chapter, there would be no way to fix the bug like this. Imperial officials, especially the forces that sentenced this chapter to the Redemption Crusade, will not see you so comfortable. If you cheat and cheat, you are disloyal and will not change your character. I am afraid that more severe punishments will be imposed.
But if you fall here in the Alliance, you won't be afraid.
Who sentenced these two Chapters to the Atonement Crusade?
It's Gu Hang.
Who are the supervisors?
Or Gu Hang.
After they are stuck with bugs like this, whoever wants to punish them has to go through the alliance first.
Anyone know how to do this?
Apart from deliberately disgusting the Alliance, no one would dare to do it.
The Dragon King's Spear Chapter was also sentenced to the Atonement Expedition, but their 'crime' was relatively minor, only fifteen years. But what makes them different from Raging Flame and New Age Torch is that Dragon King's Spear is not a battle group completely controlled by the alliance.
In a similar situation, there are blood sharks.
However, both groups have the idea of following the alliance.
The blood sharks no longer want to continue the precarious days in the dark outer realm. They want a home star to end their long wandering career. The Dragon King's Spear's home star disappeared after the Sentence Expedition, but fifteen years have passed. They don't want to wander, and they also want to take back their home star - their home star is in the Nepeta star field.
The alliance can provide these.
Even if it cannot be done on a political level, we can indeed get them a tax-free home planet. However, it is difficult for a planet to support a complete war group, unless it is a particularly wealthy and developed world. When most war groups are assigned to an ordinary planet, they must continue to expand their influence outwards and use military force to provide protection to the star area or even the star region they are in in exchange for resources.
The alliance can divide all the resources produced by a planet to the war group, and the alliance government will help them manage it to ensure that the output is higher than what they manage themselves. It is true that the planet must pay imperial tax, but for this tax, the alliance can burden.
In addition to the output of the home planet, the alliance will also provide a large number of resources based on the number of times and contributions the war group participates in alliance battles.
Whatever the Chapter wants, the Alliance has it all.
This kind of thing can be called a [Combat Military and Economic Mutual Assistance Agreement].
Of course, compared with the Raging Flame and New Age Torch, which the Alliance has complete control over, their independence is indeed relatively strong. Theoretically, they will be able to refuse the Alliance's call for war. Even if they accept it, they will have the right to act independently according to their own ideas during the battle.
While they have certain independent powers, they also lose the unconditional support of the alliance. The support needed can only be obtained by relying on one's own specific military exploits within the framework of the treaty.
That is definitely not as abundant as the resources obtained by Phoenix, Underworld Gull, New Age Torch, and Raging Flame. Even the recruitment of personnel, that is, the high-quality, high-success-rate candidates for gene seed implantation surgery provided by the alliance, which these two battle groups have personally experienced, must be exchanged for merit.
This is actually one of Gu Hang's points... It's not a conspiracy, but it's a clever idea.
If you force personnel on them, they may feel that something is fishy and feel uneasy; but if they need to exchange it, it will make people feel more at ease.
There are actually some recruits from the alliance within these two war groups. These recruits range from a few months to many who have served in the two battle groups for more than a year or two. Their performance is obvious to all the seniors in the group.
Loyal, brave, and with outstanding potential, it can't even be said to be potential, it is simply comparable to a veteran.
They have never encountered this kind of soldier quality in the past, and they have to believe that the alliance is unique in selecting soldiers and cultivating elites.
Of course, these soldiers from the Alliance have a little problem, that is, they are particularly friendly to the Alliance.
But isn't that normal?
Compared to their advantages, this disadvantage is nothing at all.
Gu Hang hoped that they would have this idea.
In the future, as time goes by and there are more members from the alliance in the war group, then naturally, the entire war group will be more inclined to side with the alliance.
It is not even necessary for the alliance's battle brothers to reach high positions. The benefits brought by the agreement itself and the situation of the four battle groups completely controlled by the alliance may attract them to the extent of fully joining the alliance.
Even if it doesn't reach this step, Gu Hang is still satisfied with the existing treaty framework.
This is the situation of the six war groups that stand with the alliance.
Gu Hang also took great care to consider those battle groups that had nothing to do with the alliance after the war.
Black Crusaders, Phoenix, and Otaupis, these three are the top priority.
Gu Hang had a good chat with the leaders of the three families, and each signed a "Mutual Defense Agreement for the Queen's Star Territory and Spider Web Space Territory".
This defense agreement is not particularly binding. It just states that the area mentioned in the agreement may be threatened for a long time in the future. For example, the remaining rebels in the Iron Armor, the infected by pests, the incapacitated swarm, and new zerg species may emerge in the black hole of the void in the future...
Gu Hang invited each battle group to send a certain number of manpower to carry out joint defense in the area.
There is no need to have too many people, just three or five people, or even just one person as an observer will do in a symbolic sense.
Once it is consumed, it will be paid by the alliance.
Of course, the alliance doesn't need their real efforts. At present, the situation in the spider web domain can be easily handled by the Alliance alone. This agreement is to keep in touch with these war groups, so that everyone can have a common goal, facilitate more contact, and even do business.
For each war group, this place is also where they fight and bleed. Leaving one person to see if this area will indeed settle down in the future is also a way of safeguarding one's own merits.
Plus, it never hurts to keep in touch with the league. Those who have a favorable impression of the alliance can communicate more; those who are wary of the alliance can also take this opportunity to put their own hands in to observe the development of the alliance.
Gu Hang is not afraid of the latter either.
In the end, the three major war groups that were targeted by Gu Hang basically agreed to keep the observation team.
Some of the other war groups also agreed, or said that they would discuss with the high-level leaders of the war group before giving an answer.
Gu Hang also had high expectations for them.
For example, Infinite Battle Group and Bat Battle Group are two start-up groups. In this war, they each sent their companies to participate in the war. It would obviously be a good thing if they are willing to maintain communication with the alliance for a long time.
The influence of other ordinary war groups participating in the war is relatively ordinary.
But after all, there are so many of them!
On the Western Front and the Northern Front, there may be more than twenty Space Marine Chapters participating in the battle from different places.
Not to mention all of them, even if half of them can establish long-term connections with the alliance, that is a considerable force, and Gu Hang does not dislike it at all.
The same goes for two of the three most important factions in the Inquisition, the Order of Foreigners and the Order of Heretics.
The Alliance pulled them together and established a "Common Supervision and Defense Agreement", hoping that they could send branches to monitor internal corruption and alien corruption in the spider web domain.
It's the alliance that pays, and they contribute, or they don't. As long as this branch is established, Gu Hang's goal has been achieved.
The two families have not agreed yet, but judging from the fact that the representatives of both families are senior presiding judges and have quite prestigious positions in their respective systems, their personal attitudes are relatively positive.
Then the future results should be relatively optimistic.
Gu Hang didn't have a particularly good way to deal with the Astra Militarum and Marines who came from all over the place. After all, they are not as independent as the Space Marine Chapter, and are more under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Imperial Astra Militarum Headquarters, and the Navy Headquarters.
However, you can also take the donation route.
Gu Hang can donate some military equipment and materials to these armies in the name of donation, and establish contacts.
Through these people, some senior generals in the Astra Militarum and the Navy can be influenced.
As for the south, north, and west lines, there are some local troops coming from various star regions and space regions, such as the armed fleet forces of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, so it would be easier to handle.
If you conduct commercial trade directly, the contact will be very close.
After doing this, through this war, the alliance has really established contact with many forces in the northern and eastern borders of the empire.
Before this, even if Gu Hang wanted to give money, he might not have the opportunity to do so.
