Chapter 759, Alliance Values
Chairman Zuo Zhaofeng's good political alliance relationship with the alliance, coupled with the strong economic strength of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, has established many communities of interest, which has become a core element for the alliance to build influence in the Eastern Space Region.
At the same time, it also creates favorable conditions for the alliance to carry out cultural propaganda to the Eastern Universe.
With the frequent economic and political exchanges, high-end consumer goods produced by various alliances have entered the market of the Eastern Universe.
Especially some luxuries produced by the alliance.
The industrial capabilities of the Dragon Eagle Star Region are very developed in many aspects, including agriculture. Among the planets recaptured from the green skins, some have relatively good environments and have thousands of miles of fertile soil. After the green skins are cleared, the immigrants used to have a sparse population and can often use large farms and large-scale agriculture. The huge amount of food output can not only be used as military rations, but can also be transported to industrial planets as rations. There is even a large amount of material wealth that can be used to pay taxes.
But using low-level grain to pay taxes is quite a loss, as the money is not much. However, it would be much better to process primary agricultural products into high-quality food with various flavors; furthermore, when agricultural products are abundant, ancient wine making can be made luxuriously.
The red wine and fine wine produced in this way are much better in taste than the industrial wine produced by the food industry.
Civilians and ordinary soldiers may not be able to afford it, but those from the middle class and above, and even the powerful, have no problem at all.
The value of this thing is useless when it comes to paying imperial taxes. Imperial taxes do not set high prices for luxury goods. However, it is a good choice to export it to the dignitaries in the Eastern Universe.
Luxury brand cars and floating vehicles made by the developed vehicle manufacturing industry; luxury interstellar cruise ships customized by the shipbuilding industry; clothing made by craftsmen in the textile industry using leather and surplus fine gold materials developed by the expensive breeding industry , accessories... these things have become popular in the Eastern Universe.
The reason for their popularity, in addition to good quality and scarcity, is also due to cultural influence.
The alliance's publicity department spares no effort to promote the alliance's values in various places within the Eastern Universe. The most important means are various literary and artistic works.
All parts of the empire unanimously recognized Holy Terra, the human home planet. What is popular on Holy Terra can easily have a great influence in other places.
Some products, lifestyles, fashion pursuits, and other things may be transmitted more slowly. After all, even if you want to pursue it, you have to have something. But popular literary and artistic works are much easier to copy.
A series of films about the Iron Armor War, praising Gu Hang, and praising the Alliance's way of life, would be popular in Holy Terra, let alone anywhere else.
In these videos, the alcohol, cigarettes, clothing, utensils used, decoration style, luxury brands... everything was intentionally implanted with the alliance's products when they were produced.
It’s not a hard advertisement, but the luxury brand cigarette that Governor Gu lit when he was thinking, would you like to have one too?
Even if Gu Hang actually does not smoke, it does not prevent Gu Hang from endorsing this.
This is the cigarette brand that is loved by real heroes of the empire and high lords of the empire!
And with developed agricultural production, its quality is indeed quite high.
Using similar methods, alliance products have a natural advantage in opening up sales.
And these consumer goods and these literary and artistic works, all added up, have a cultural impact on the entire class of the Eastern Universe.
Coupled with the increased economic exchanges and political friendly relations...the three aspects work together, and the sum total is called "alliance values".
This thing has influence in Holy Terra. The people on Holy Terra are all the people of the imperial capital, what have you not seen before? In this way, they all follow the alliance, let alone the border area of Eastern Space Territory.
The effect is top notch.
Of course, the effects brought about by the transmission of ‘alliance values’ cannot be as direct as military means.
This is a silent process of moisturizing things. Moreover, no matter how much values are passed on, it is impossible to directly transform the Eastern Universe into an alliance.
But as long as this process of peaceful evolution continues and the alliance in the middle can restrain and remain strong, then the future results will be quite bright.
There is no need to evolve the Eastern Space Territory into an alliance.
Sometimes, direct rule may not be as good as indirect colonization.
The advantage of direct rule is that it can fully mobilize the human and material resources of the ruled area and build the area in the direction you want.
But similarly, if it were to rule directly, the alliance would have to bear a huge political and financial burden. Just like the Alliance is burdened with the Spider Web Space Domain.
Indirect influence is difficult to mobilize and cannot be used for construction, but it does not carry such a heavy construction burden. With the rapid economic exchanges between the two sides, although it is not considered economic plunder, the alliance can make a lot of money from it. The Eastern Space Territory will become the dumping market and source of raw materials for the alliance.
If you make enough money, you will have more wealthy funds that can be invested in the alliance's own construction, which can be used to pay taxes and support the army...
And when the Eastern Space Territory is full of alliance allies, a series of economic agreements have been signed, or are in the process of being signed. Then in the future, signing a series of military mutual assistance agreements will become a matter of course.
During a war, it would be easy for Eastern Universe to side with the alliance.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As long as you don't fight the Imperial Central Committee.
But this is not necessarily the case.
If the connection between the two parties reaches a certain level, maybe one day even if the alliance falls out with the Central Empire, Eastern Universe will be on its side?
At least when the alliance army moves south, it will not encounter particularly strong resistance.
Just like during the Iron Armor War, when the Iron Armor regiment attacked from the Queen's Star Territory, the Imperial army in the Spider Web Space Territory could almost be said to be shattered at a touch. That is of course because the strength gap between the two sides is already huge, but on the other hand, it is also the result of Iron Armor’s hundreds of years of persistent influence throughout the Spider Web Universe, which has allowed many forces in the Spider Web Universe to Not willing to fight to the death with Iron Armor.
But now, the alliance has a larger size and greater advantages than Iron Armor, and it is not difficult to achieve a similar situation.
But no matter what, the core of expanding influence outwards is to be strong enough.
Forging iron requires oneself to be strong.
The continued development of the alliance is the most important thing. If we cannot maintain strong economic, political, and military capabilities, then everything will be in vain.
And when Gu Hang returned to the Dragon Eagle Star Territory and his home base of the Raging Owl Star, the first time he saw Oceana was that the Alliance Prime Minister was leaving together with many senior officials of the Alliance Government. The leader of the alliance for two and a half, almost three years, was conducting a government work report.
