Chapter 765, The six war groups of the alliance
In addition to the three main major items of military expenditure, government expenditure, and government investment, the current financial expenditure of the alliance also has a large section called special projects.
It includes investment in the Queen of Glory battleship, as well as investment in some smaller projects that are not that big.
In addition, it also includes investment in several Space Marine Chapters.
They are not part of the alliance's military ranks, and of course they do not have a share in the alliance's military expenditures.
However, the alliance really needs to support them.
This is quite a lot of money.
Currently, there are six battle groups following the alliance.
They are the Phoenix Chapter, the Underworld Owl Chapter, the Blood Shark Chapter, the New Age Torch Chapter, the Raging Flame Chapter, and the Dragon King's Spear Chapter.
Their respective situations are not quite the same.
The Phoenix is a war group that has ended its Atonement Crusade and returned to normal. Within the Imperial Space Marine administration they are to be considered a ship-based Chapter.
For such a war group, there is no home planet. They find ways to collect and raise the funds they need.
If these funds are obtained through employment, gifts, war commissions, etc., then of course there will be no problem.
But this alone is often not enough.
The empire will give some green lights when necessary, such as turning a blind eye when they approach some planetary governors and star domain governments to ask for taxes.
Often, some unscrupulous war groups are not very bright in this regard, and extortion and violent coercion are common.
Whether and to what extent the empire can tolerate some less-than-bright methods used by ship-based battle groups to find money depends on the background of the battle group and the background of the 'victims'. Maybe for the same thing, some groups have nothing to do with it, but the victims are severely criticized; while other groups have to be investigated and investigated by the tribunal, making them miserable.
In short, ship-based battle groups have no fixed source of income. As far as the Phoenix is concerned, it doesn't matter that they are in this state. The Alliance has been supporting them anyway.
But during the Iron Armor War, after the Phoenix made outstanding contributions, Gu Hang took this thing and asked for a home planet for the Phoenix - Koroga 3.
This will not have any impact on Koroga. Phoenix recruits do not come from Koroga, Koroga's income does not belong to them, and they are not responsible for Koroga's defense. This so-called ‘mother planet’ is completely in name only.
This is done mainly for tax exemption.
The current population size of Koruga 3, after years of migration, is still 35 billion, and it is increasing instead of falling. This is mainly due to the alliance's policy of encouraging childbirth, and after the alliance became rich, Koroga was at the core of its rule, and planetary climate modification technology and Eden ecosystem technology were used on Koroga. At the same time, many of the alliance's first-line technologies are directly put into production on Koruga, which has a rich industrial population...
All these have greatly improved the planet's overall environment and productivity. According to normal judgment, it is not too much to rate the development level of this planet at level four.
That means an imperial tax of 14 billion a year.
Now, after winning this home planet, it is directly tax-free.
The Alliance saved a fortune.
Of course, the resources actually invested by the alliance in Phoenix are far more than this amount of money. But even if there is no such thing as a home planet, investing in Phoenix is what we have to do in the first place, and this money is indispensable.
The situation of the Underworld Owl Chapter is completely similar to that of the Phoenix.
The real Huangquan Ou Chapter has disappeared somewhere. Anyway, there is no news about this Chapter for hundreds or even thousands of years. The current Huang Quan Ou is essentially a shadow group created by Gu Hang using a thousand surplus phoenix seeds. They took on the skin of a missing group, acted in their name, and also participated in the Iron Armor War. , the performance is not bad, but because it is a bit shady, it is relatively low-key, not as outstanding as Phoenix.
The Alliance also applied for a home star for Huang Quan Ou. Shouldn't there be no reward for meritorious service?
The Empire agreed.
I originally wanted to build a developed planet and save more taxes, but Huangquan Ou's achievements were not enough and the empire refused, so it only allocated a world in the Menghe Star Region.
The alliance's operation is the same as that of the Phoenix. The home planet is purely in name and is used simply to reduce taxes.
The tax reduction that Huangquanou brings to the alliance is only 800 million per year - that is an ordinary world with a population of 8 billion and a development level of 1.
The Phoenix Chapter's 14 billion a year is not enough for the alliance's investment in them, let alone the 800 million Huangquan Ou, which is purely a mosquito leg.
But it’s worth saving a little bit.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
As for the Torch of the New Age, the Flame of Fury, and the Spear of the Dragon King, the nature of these three battle groups is relatively similar and can be mentioned together.
The Torch of the New Age and the Flame of Fury are essentially dead. They were two regiments built using the "seeds of secondary infinite warriors" brought by the Torch of the New Age after its surrender. But since the names of these two regiments are used, the sins on them are unavoidable. It's all a redemption expedition, and a sentence of hundreds of years is still early.
Although under the protection of the Alliance, there is no need to really struggle on the verge of life and death like the Atonement Corps, but there is no way to get tax reductions for the Alliance.
Even in the future, when their sentences are over, they will become a ship-based battle group just like the Phoenixes earlier. Unless they make any further achievements, the Alliance can ask the Empire to ask for a home star and reduce taxes.
On the other hand, Dragon King's Spear was also sentenced to the Atonement Expedition, but his sentence was only 15 years, which would be over soon.
Logically speaking, they don't necessarily really want to follow the alliance. When 15 years are over and freedom is restored, they can go wherever they like, and the alliance cannot force them to stay.
However, if possible, they still want to stay in the spider web domain.
Their original home planet was in the Spider Web Domain and was already under the control of the Alliance. They couldn't bear to leave their home star. After all, all of them were soldiers recruited from the 'Long Beard Star', and they had been defending the Long Beard Star for a thousand years.
After full communication and pull with the Dragon King's Spear, and the fact that they couldn't let go of their home planet, the Dragon King's Spear agreed to accept the alliance's protection, spend the remaining atonement sentence, and after the sentence was over, use the ship-based battle group's The identity is used by the alliance.
What the alliance paid was to give them the Longbeard Star as their base, and to be fully responsible for all kinds of treatment and consumption of their war group.
The situation is the same as that of other battle groups, just because they are ship-based battle groups, they cannot be exempted from tax.
It was just when the matter was settled that Gu Hang saw the Spear of the Dragon King in his system interface.
