Chapter 760: The alliance is going bankrupt?
Gu Hang looked around the huge conference room. It was rare to see so many people coming.
The alliance now has a very large scope of governance, and many high-ranking officials of the alliance shoulder heavy responsibilities. Even senior central officials often have to go to specific places because they are responsible for different tasks.
In the Raging Owl Star, it is actually rare to see such a complete gathering.
The last time there was such a grand occasion...it seems like it never happened.
Gein Among the alliance, only Gu Hang has enough prestige to summon all the heads of all departments of the alliance government to hold a meeting together.
The reason why it was not opened in the past was because after the Iron Armor War began, Gu Hang personally led the army to go out.
Before the war started, the scale of the alliance was not so large.
The war lasted for a long time, during which Gu Hang had almost no time to come back and hold a meeting like this. During the war, there was no way to gather so many people. It was not easy for everyone to go there, and it was easy for things to get messed up.
After the battle, Gu Hang ran to Holy Terra again.
After the alliance expanded to fourteen star regions, there really was no chance to hold such a general meeting.
Thanks to Gu Hang's [Political Commissar] training, at all key positions in the alliance, regardless of the abilities of the personnel, at least their loyalty is guaranteed. This ensures that no matter whether it is a political officer or a business officer, there will be no ideological problems. When the principles and vision of the alliance can be effectively implemented.
If not, a system like the Alliance, which is highly centralized and relies heavily on the professionalism and purity of the bureaucracy, would simply not be able to maintain such a large system scale and would have collapsed long ago due to corruption and institutional rigidity.
Many other imperial forces are actually secretly placing spies in the alliance, inquiring about information, studying the status of the alliance system, and trying to figure out how they maintain such a large-scale and effective centralized rule. However, the alliance is obvious and does not require much study, but no one can learn it.
Not to mention fourteen star regions, tens of thousands of worlds, and a population of 10 trillion, all managed by a unified government and a highly centralized semi-planned system. For ordinary forces, even if they only implement a similar system on one planet , none of them can solve the sharply rising governance costs as the scale of rule increases.
This is Gu Hang's golden finger and cannot be learned.
It is precisely because of the existence of this set of things that the alliance is still running without any problems even when Gu Hang has not held a conference for many years, and even when the Holy Terra Journey people have been away from his ruling center for three years.
But after all, similar meetings still have to be held.
Although, he can see a lot of information from the system panel. But there is also a lot of information that he cannot see. He has to rely on the alliance's bureaucracy to report to him so that he can figure it out.
And similarly, he also needs a general meeting like this to carry out a clear implementation of his will.
Oceana, as Prime Minister of the Alliance, took the lead in opening the ceremony.
In the first part, she first introduced an overview of the current situation of the alliance.
Currently, the Alliance rules a total of 14 star regions, 577 star-level administrative divisions, and a total of 7,109 worlds.
There is no very precise statistics on the total population, only a possible estimate: 11.8 trillion people.
The total output value of all 14 star regions in the past year is estimated to be 16.1 trillion.
Among them, the largest part is the core territory of the alliance, the Dragon Eagle Star Territory. The output value of the Light Dragon Eagle Star Region reached 5.2 trillion, accounting for 32.5%. And when all types of expenditures are taken into account, including those used for household consumption, development investment, and military expenditures in the Star Territory, the total is 3.9 trillion. In the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, the alliance has a balance of 1.3 trillion.
Apart from this, the strongest one is the Alfonzo Star Territory. Its annual total output value reached 1.4 trillion. The most important thing to increase the total output value of this star field is the forging world-Alamita. It is a pity that the other two forging worlds were destroyed. Otherwise, even after the war, as long as they are generally preserved, the output value of the entire Alfonzo Star Territory will be at least three trillion.
It's a little worse than the Dragon Eagle Star Region, but at least it's a big help. What a pity...
Further on, there is the Menghe Star Region and the Proud Claw Star Region.
These two star regions have suffered relatively little damage since the last war.
Among them, Menghe is the smallest, and only a few star regions in the north fought large-scale wars. During the war, it was regarded as the rear base camp of the alliance. The alliance invested a lot of resources in construction in the Menghe star region, and the development of the entire star region was It's a lot to pull up. The people of Menghe are a blessing in disguise.
The entire Proud Claw Star Territory is at war, but the war between the Alliance and the Raging Flame Chapter is mainly fought on the interstellar sea, falling on the planet, and engaging in decisive battles that are devastating to the planet's ecology and population. Very little, allowing the entire star field to retain more vitality. Moreover, in the later stages of the war, the Proud Claw Star Territory basically became the rear area. It did not suffer much from insect infestations and recovered quickly.
The above four star regions are the star regions where the alliance's finances make money.
Imperial taxes are now paid by the Alliance. When calculating the financial balance, the Alliance government does not count taxes. It only counts how much it earns from each planet/sector/star field.
In these four star regions, the alliance's annual financial balance can reach 1.55 trillion.
Among the remaining ten star regions, except for the Fox Moon Star Region, which is now basically able to maintain its capital because the war is not mainly fought there, the remaining nine are all losing money.
The total loss of the nine star regions that lost money was 1.27 trillion.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Taking into account the imperial tax payable of 300 billion tax coins in the first year, the alliance's own military expenditures, and the financial expenditures for some special projects of the alliance central government...the alliance is almost bankrupt.
Who would have thought that a glamorous alliance that boasts every day that it is a paradise on earth would almost bankrupt itself?
This is the stage where Oceana's head hurts the most.
The overall fiscal deficit is huge, almost 200 billion.
Fortunately, there was some surplus in the previous years, and some armaments were cut from the military that is not fighting now. On the one hand, expenditures were reduced, and on the other hand, the disarmament equipment could be used as tax deductions.
This is quite a lot of money.
Only in this way can we get through the most difficult year.
Those nine star regions that are losing money are basically the entire Spider Web Universe.
Gu Hang's victory over the Spider Web Realm was indeed a huge financial burden, which was correct from this perspective.
Otherwise, if the Dragon Eagle Star Territory is alone, the annual fiscal surplus will be 1.3 trillion, and without taking the Spider Web Space Territory, the alliance's imperial tax will not be so high, and it will be much more comfortable.
However, Gu Hang had no regrets.
Oceana also gave the reasons for the losses in those nine star fields.
The most important point is, of course, that the war destroyed those nine star regions.
