Chapter 711, Just Money
When he first heard that Luo Fei nominated Gu Hang to be the chairman of the Spider Web Universe, Gallardo didn't react at all.
What for?
Surrendered?
Soon, he realized that it was impossible.
Luo Fei had other ideas.
However, Gallardo was not in a hurry to speak.
Someone will talk.
As expected, a high lord raised a question: "Has the Executive Yuan thought improperly when proposing Gu Hang to take charge of the Spider Web before the alliance issue has been resolved?"
"That's not the case, in fact. "We have been thinking about it for a long time." Luo Fei looked confident.
Then, he brought his thoughts to the scene.
Ignoring those lengthy discussions with little meaning, the most critical content is that Gu Hang took over the position of chairman of the Spider Web Universe.
Gu Hang performed extremely well in the last war and was the greatest contributor to the war. No one can erase this fact. Because of this, merit must be rewarded, so it is natural to go up.
Isn’t Gu Hang’s most important official identity the head of the Dragon Eagle Star Region?
Then you can go straight to the goal in one step, be promoted to the chairman of the universe, become a feudal official, and take charge of the spider web universe.
And it just so happens that the Spider Web Realm also needs a political strongman to lead the thousands of worlds after the war out of the predicament.
Isn’t Gu Hang suitable?
As for the 'alliance' that has been discussed, Luo Fei did not mention it again.
But the current meaning is very clear.
There are no relevant regulations on these two matters in the empire's regulations. There is no saying that a person who has served as the leader of a joint political entity cannot serve as the chairman of the universe.
In fact, in the empire, there are actually a few Chairman Zhouyu who are in similar situations.
Of course, the political entities they control are generally just a few planets or a dozen planets, forming a military, economic, and political integration. They are generally located in the core area controlled by the space government. It is so that the Eternal Territory Government can operate a core area and control the core power.
There is definitely no such thing as Gu Hang’s.
But so what? There are established rules, and there are people who are ahead of the curve, but the empire has no rules, so why can't Gu Hang do it?
Isn’t it just a billion points bigger?
But it was difficult for Gallardo to say this openly.
At this time, he huddled back silently and said nothing.
He had to observe the situation first.
Actually, the current situation is probably understood.
Luo Fei is retreating in order to advance, throwing out the Chairman of the Universe, using retreat in order to make people think carefully about the power of the Chairman of the Universe and the alliance together.
How much authority will Gu Hang have?
It is an alliance and it belongs to the chairman of Zhouyu, so will Gu Hang further expand the current and already troublesome alliance? Expand to the entire spider web domain, thereby becoming a super-large, powerful, and very developed political entity from military to political to economic?
It’s really possible.
Even Xu Fuzhen, who has always been greedy for the high taxes that the alliance can provide, hesitated.
If you want money, you want money, but a simple alliance exists. After all, it is only five star regions; after all, the alliance has existed for decades. Gu Hang’s influence on the central empire My attitude has always been relatively submissive...
However, no matter what, the combination of the Chairman of Zhouyu and the leader of the alliance is still too exaggerated, the power is too great, and it can form a closed loop of power within itself, and it is not subject to external supervision at all.
Xu also stopped talking during the follow-up visit. If a die-hard supporter of Gu Hang remains silent and a supporter who is greedy for alliance money remains silent, the situation will gradually become one-sided.
Luo Fei didn't need to say anything more, but the high lords who had little to do with it all spoke cautiously, expressing that Luo Fei's opinions were unreliable.
Not only was Luo Fei not angry when he was refuted, but he explained everything with a smile and agreed with the refutation's opinions.
Furthermore, he proposed that the alliance should be disbanded.
In this way, wouldn’t everyone be happy?
Gu Hang was promoted.
Without this opportunity, it would be too difficult for the ordinary head of the Star Territory to be promoted to the position of Chairman of the Space Territory. There are still many thresholds to pass in the middle, and each threshold may allow a person to pass. Politicians waste their lives in it.
Now, let Lao Gu take a step forward and live up to his military exploits.
The alliance was disbanded, and the gentlemen on Holy Terra were relieved that they no longer had to face a new iron armor.
For Luo Fei, when Gu Hang became the chairman of Zhouyu, he entered the official appointment system of the Executive Yuan. He transformed from a political opponent before to a "one of his own", and maybe he can become one in the future. Become friends.
Even, in Gallardo's heart, this thing is a good thing. If he hadn't known that Gu Hang was absolutely unwilling to abandon the alliance to get the position of Chairman of the Universe, he would have voted in favor.
Isn’t everyone happy?
“I disagree!”
Finally someone jumped out.
“I don’t agree with the dissolution of the alliance.” It was Xu Fuzhen who spoke.
The tax prime minister threw out a document with a cold face, ignoring all the other high lords, and only stared at Qi Bodu.
In the tone of her report, she said: "To preserve the alliance, what we gain is not only the current 300 billion a year, but also the future 1.3 trillion annual income. At the same time, through the Executive Yuan's official appointment system, we have to Give the star field within the alliance, including the entire spider web space, ten or even twenty years of Tax-free. We still need to maintain an army to manage and suppress, and we also need to invest more than 300 billion every year to rebuild the spider web domain.” Calculating this year, the income and investment gap between inside and outside will reach 20 trillion.”
"There is no way for the tax department to make up for this financial gap from anywhere else."
"In other words, I don't care whether Gu Hang is the chairman of the universe or not, whether the alliance retains it or not. I'm just telling you that This is a fact. If Prime Minister Luo Fei’s proposal comes true, Solaria’s current annual investment of 700 billion will be cut by more than half..."
At this point, Luo Fei’s face turned dark.
Solaria has a dozen star fields and tens of thousands of planets, which are appointed by the Executive Yuan. This area opened up by the Sun Expedition has been the largest increase in power of the Executive Yuan in many years.
Xu Fuzhen ignored him and continued: "All investments in the reconstruction of the Space Marine Chapter will be stopped; the navy's shipbuilding plan to supplement the Sun Fleet will be reviewed; the investment budget of the Inquisition will be reduced and it will no longer be possible to support it. You punish each planet; Holy Terra's production orders for Mars will be reduced..."
She continued to order several more.
Nothing makes a sound.
“So, my suggestion is that not only cannot the alliance be disbanded, why can’t the Spider Web Domain be given to Gu Hang?”
“Give it! You can give it to anyone! As long as Gu Hang gives you money!”< br>

It was too late yesterday and I didn’t finish it. I’ll add another chapter.
There will be more at night.
