Chapter 742: Arrogant at first and respectful at the end
Luo Fei could no longer refuse.
If we continue to oppose the advancement of the "Alliance Plan", we are trying to do the same thing.
Now, the tax department is blocking his administrative budget, which is already hard for him. At the Supreme Council, the other high lords had a relatively neutral attitude, but when it came to the budget, they all wanted to take a bite of the pie of one or two trillion tax dollars a year provided by the alliance.
In addition, Gu Hang made many friends during the last war. There were also many people from the Astra Militarum, the Navy, the Space Marines, and the Inquisition who spoke to him overtly and covertly.
And Gallardo’s strong support...
He has been very sad these days.
In fact, sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, was he too sensitive or thinking too wildly?
Calculate carefully, will blocking the alliance really do him any good? Why do we have to fight for a ruined place in the Spider Web Universe? Even if he wins, all he can do is control the personnel appointment power in this star field.
According to past experience, those who were appointed by him as the chairman of the space domain, the head of the star domain, etc. will indeed be more obedient at the beginning and are strong supporters of the Central Executive Yuan. However, as time goes by, it is unknown whether the local governors who have consolidated their own power and established a firm foothold below will be so obedient.
Unless it is a wandering official system, the posts are changed regularly. But under the current status of the empire, it is basically unrealistic.
Of course, overall, a new universe with so many locations is indeed a huge benefit. But the political price paid to achieve all this, and the delay until now, has become too high.
Slowly, he began to feel that the gain was not worth the loss.
In addition, he actually has a fundamental idea, which is to let Gu Hang, the leader of the local separatist regime, become the chairman of the universe, and also to untie the constraints of his separatist power...< br>
Not a blessing by any means.
Whether Gu Hang himself is loyal or not, or whether he will rebel in the end, is irrelevant. From the perspective of system design, this situation should be prevented.
The safety of the entire empire cannot be placed on one person's thoughts.
As the Prime Minister of the Imperial Executive Yuan, he always had this idea. Therefore, he was the most vigilant about Gu Hang's current situation.
However, it seems that in the High Lords Council, there are people who think like him, but these ideas are usually not the highest priority they consider when making decisions.
Sometimes he also feels a little tired: Then why do I need to think like this?
Of course, at this time, he will selectively forget that if departmental interests, personal interests conflict with the interests of the empire, what choices will he usually make?
Anyway, he feels tired now.
If you don't want it, then I don't want it either.
Love as much as you like.
From the perspective of interests, fighting for the Spider Web Space Domain may no longer be profitable; from the perspective of fighting for the interests of the empire, it is no longer possible to achieve it.
But these are only secondary.
The core blow to him is that the Prime Minister's attitude has also changed.
The Prime Minister is the one who ultimately decides everything.
When he felt that the whole world was against him, only the Prime Minister's strong support could make it possible for him to overthrow Gu Hang's rule in the east.
In the past, the Prime Minister was quite supportive of him.
Especially after he told the Prime Minister clearly about Gu Hang's threat in the East, Gu Hang's possible disloyalty to him, and the loss of tax dollars was not worth the damage to the Prime Minister's authority...
Through these remarks, he clearly felt that the Prime Minister's attitude was biased towards him.
But he didn't know why, the Prime Minister's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
There was nothing we could do about it right away. When Gu Hang's people sent him an invitation to meet, he originally wanted to refuse.
However, an order from the Prime Minister forced him to lower his head and hold his nose to meet Gu Hang.
He has resigned himself to his fate.
However, in terms of attitude, he is still not very good.
He made up his mind that he would never look good on Gu Hang during this meeting!
……
"What?! That's great!"
Luo Fei toasted to Gu Hang with a smile on his face. Even this didn't feel intimate enough, so he simply sat next to him from the opposite side and hooked up with Gu Hang.
"I knew that people like Governor Gu Hang must be the most loyal people in the empire. Solaria is already the empire's biggest worry. The Sun Lord's expedition that year gave him a great reputation. , also brought the empire a rare expansion of territory, but it spent too much money, and now it is even more turbulent.”
"With your words, Governor Gu, I feel very relieved."

"The combat effectiveness of the Alliance Army has been tested by the Iron Armor and the Void Zerg. It can be called the elite of the Empire. Those elite Astra Militarum legions with such big names are all boasting. How can the Alliance Army be as powerful as that? ”
"Those war groups also took on a new look with the support of the alliance. In the past, who knew what phoenixes and blood sharks were?"
"With the help of the Alliance army, Solaria can be saved! Come on, let's have another drink, for the future of the empire!"
……
Luo Fei's attitude was ridiculous.
But Gu Hang will not underestimate him.
After Qi Bodu's attitude change, the promotion of the "Alliance Plan" has become a foregone conclusion.
In this case, it is a pure loss to hold on. As long as Luo Fei wasn't stupid, he wouldn't do this.
Moreover, since the matter has been settled, why do we still need to establish an enemy like Gu Hang?
He is powerful and powerful. He seems to have some unclear relationship with the Prime Minister. He has extensive connections...
It's so hard to be an enemy.
However, he wanted to resolve the previous conflict here, but there was no way.
However, during this meeting, Gu Hang did not act like a winner and show off his power. Instead, he talked sincerely about some personnel appointments and arrangements for the Spider Web Universe and his prospects for future development.
These are all empty talk. Even if Gu Hang really gave some positions within the Spider Web Universe, the Universe Government and various star domain governments, and invited the Executive Yuan to appoint people, the number would be small, and they would all be marginal. A sinecure is of no use at all.
But it doesn't matter, both of them know that this is a way to get to the topic.
At least Luo Fei felt that Gu Hang was showing his kindness.
Okay, so be it, there is a step that everyone can get down.
But what Luo Fei didn't expect was that Gu Hang then mentioned that the alliance army could enter Solaria to participate in the war.
This is the big surprise!
