Chapter 790, Three Wars
In fact, the Empire always felt that the alliance was expanding, but it was actually a bit unfair to the alliance.
The current territory of the alliance is actually enough for them to struggle.
As long as there is a good external environment, Gu Hang and many senior executives of the alliance are willing to farm peacefully at home. Even the slowdown in economic growth rate is still 6-8% per year.
This economic growth rate is very rare in the entire empire, and it can even be said to be unique.
It can double every ten years!
You can get rich by farming and doing business honestly. What kind of war can you fight!
It was not when I was poor and had a small territory back then.
But there is no way.
The external environment will never improve by itself, it depends on one's own efforts.
Moreover, every man is guilty of possessing a treasure. When the alliance is rich, the gaze of the ‘poor’ empire will naturally come to its sight.
In addition, when the alliance is rich, naturally many people think that the alliance is ambitious and expanding.
No matter what Gu Hang does, he is like an ambitious man who wants to expand, subvert the existing order, and move into the Holy Terra.
The Solaria War, which the alliance participated in, is a relatively typical example.
The Alliance army participated in the Battle of Solaria in the name of the Astral Army Corps in the name of the Astral Army Corps in accordance with the general Astral Army participating in the war.
In this case, the central government of the empire should have to bear the logistics supply.
But in fact, all kinds of material dispatch are often deducted by bureaucrats at all levels.
The superior headquarters of the 'Raging Bear' Legion repeatedly pushed the alliance troops to the front with the most casualties.
They also have reasons. Can't your alliance soldiers fight? Those who are capable work hard, and the hard battle will be left to you.
To fight a tough battle, the league is actually not unacceptable. The headquarters’ statement can also be agreed with.
But when you think I am the sharp knife in your hand, why do you still deduct supplies?
Why are there many times of friendly support unfavorable?
Why do we have to force the alliance's army to fight to the death in some battles that clearly have no hope?
This is the elite troops in your hands. Should I be treated?
Obviously not.
So what should the Alliance Army do?
I can't deserve to be cheated to death.
When the old nest is too far away and beyond reach, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, the Alliance Expeditionary Force Command was forced to launch the "Statement Self-Sustaining Plan" - taking over several key hubs in the name of "temporary military control" Planet, establish a complete closed-loop system from conscription, production to taxation.
Not to mention, this place under the "military control" of the Alliance Army has really become a very beautiful scenery in the Solaria War.
Soralia's erosion far exceeded expectations.
After the end of the Sun Expedition, the human empire no longer continued to expand outward, and its overall goal turned to stabilize Solaria and preserve the results of the Sun Expedition.
Although, in the imperial politics, the Sun Expedition was an action that harmed more than good, and has been characterized. But the Sun Expedition lasted for more than 60 years, spending so much money and so many people died, and the benefits obtained must be preserved.
However, the sudden death of the Sun Lord instantly made the Sun Expeditionary Force lose control. There are tens of thousands of worlds in the Solaria Universe, and the total plan is divided into 17 star domains, at least twice that of the ordinary Universe. The Sun Expeditionary Force, which lost its leader, was directly broken into a whole ground under the division of many war apostles and local forces.
Not only, everyone is a subordinate of the empire.
But in fact... that was a group of separatist warlords.
What they did was much more than the league.
The alliance follows the empire in name, believing in the state religion, believing in mechanical religion, paying taxes, and now it has almost become one of the most important fiscal revenue bases of the empire. If the alliance wants to go to war, go.
Those who criticize the alliance for being disloyal every day may contribute more to the empire.
The separatist warlords in Solaria were really separatist. They are very active in asking the empire for money, and they will make trouble if they don’t give it to them.
Pay tax? Just give it a lot, I will use it all to suppress the riots. If you have the ability, you can send tax officials and courts to investigate.
No matter how many times you check, no matter how you say.
The ambitious people's cemetery land is self-owned, the remaining chaotic beliefs are like wildfires, the Zerg parasitic sect is entrenched at the bottom of the nest capital, orc riots... Solaria's decay has contributed a lot.
In this case, the Empire will naturally strike hard.
It has been fifty years since the death of the Sun Lord. The empire's anti-insurgency against Solaria never stopped.
The war situation there is different from the comprehensive war of the universe, composed of multiple battles and large-scale battles that once occurred in the spider web universe, but it is more like a lasting fifty years without interruption. Public security war.
It was a piece of sick meat growing on the empire. If you were cut, you could still play some role more or less. However, it required a lot of resources to maintain and constantly bleeding.
Although the resources I spend in the fight against rebellion are not much, and in some years, they can still be offset by the taxes collected, but in fifty years, all of them are even more than the ones I have ever been involved in. The iron armor war is even more loss.
The key is that after the Iron Armor War, although the Spider Web Universe gave the alliance, the central government of the Empire also received a very high return, and the imperial tax he received was almost ten times that of the past. But Solaria, who has invested so much resources to fight, is still bleeding.
Not only are the separatist forces, chaotic beliefs, and alien enemies difficult to fight, but on the contrary, when the empire is willing to spend money, these things cannot stop the imperial army's troops.
But the problem is management after it is completed.
If you can't send the Extermination Order in one breath, why bother to come back?
The large number of imperial troops were entangled in public security wars, which cost a lot of money.
What's even more terrifying is that this place seems to have a special atmosphere. Many troops that suppressed the rebels, after several years of suppression, actually tended to become separatist forces.
The troops sent from the central government may be a little better, but those star-bound troops that are not centrally directed by the central government are not that reliable. As for the biggest problem, the rebel army recruited from other star domains and universe domains. It is easy for them to suppress the rebellion, and they become the existence of a new separatist regime.
At present, Solaria's situation is naturally better than in the worst period, but the problem is still not small.
Under such a general background, the planet under the jurisdiction of the Alliance Army, let alone anything else. At least the order of the entire planet has been greatly improved.
In this case, the planetary governors who were originally enthroned here were forced to accept the military control of the "Angry Bear" Legion, but later, their attitude turned to acquiescent and even took the initiative to invite him. The political commissars in the Alliance Corps participate in local government affairs.
With the Rage Bear Legion, a considerable number of troops were put into maintaining the public order of the planet, which helped a lot. At the beginning, the Inquisition was quite unhappy with the behavior of the Angry Bear Legion. A faction active in the Solaria universe even accused the Angry Bear Legion of "acting separatist under the name of suppressing bandits."
Just like the ordinary counter-rebel army from other places, it eventually turned into a new traitor.
This inquisition faction, which has been in Solaria for decades, has seen too many similar situations.
But soon, they found that the situation was different.
The planetary governors who manage no longer criticize the alliance, but instead help them speak good things.
The people in the Inquisition thought at first that it was because the planetary governor was also corrupted or controlled by the alliance.
However, when the people from the Inquisition really came, they found that there was no sign of corrosion here. The alliance not only does not have any heresy behavior, but also cooperates with the censorship.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
More importantly, the imperial taxes on these planets are still being paid normally - before the Alliance's military control, the imperial taxes on these planets are often arrears, or even not paid. When they paid, the money paid by their imperial taxes was often not as much as the resources the Empire spent when helping them to calm the planet’s problems.
Let the Alliance be managed and stationed permanently, but the situation stabilized.
Although, the later alliance troops still have the risk of rebellion. But at least I haven't checked it now.
In fact, after learning about Solaria, the alliance officials also gave an explanation to the empire on this matter.
If you don't let me take it, you can, don't take it. The league didn't want to make some money from this, or have some extra bad intentions. This matter is purely because the conventional model is too bad. After the alliance carried out military control, although there were no professional civil servants, the military and political commissars of the alliance were able to establish order well.
In Solaria, Light Order is already a very useful thing.
Seeing that the Imperial Taxation and the Angry Bear Legion did not really interfere in local construction, and continued to obey the command of the superior headquarters, saying that they would go wherever they go. In the end, the Empire also acknowledged all this.
They did not give the Angry Bear Legion or the Alliance Army to manage these worlds, but chose to default.
They can obtain supplies on the spot from these planets by default. There are really not enough physical supplies to replenish the army. At least after collecting funds, you can trade the money with the imperial court and exchange it for all kinds of war materials needed by the army.
...
This is the case with the Alliance's war in Solaria.
For the league, the last of the three wars in the past decade is actually the most important one for the league itself.
The Solaria War was fighting for the empire; the Orc War threatened the Eastern Universe, and it was not yet the land of the alliance.
The only war against the Dark Spirit tribe was launched in the alliance and in the north of the Cobweb Universe.
Moreover, the form of war is also a form of war that the Alliance is not very familiar with.
In the past, most of the battles that the alliance encountered were still fighting for the two sides.
However, this is not the case when fighting with the Dark Spirit Clan.
The group of spiritual pirates were secretly acting between the stars and the sky, and it was difficult to catch them.
They rely on their special star gate system to sail across the star domain, which is quite elusive. They specifically chose the alliance's newly opened trade routes to launch lightning robbery. Its tactics are extremely vicious: use poison crystal cannons to paralyze the merchant ship's engine, abduct the entire ship's population to make living sculptures, and finally leave a twisted subspace beacon to lure the rescue fleet into a trap.
The alliance suffered a great loss when it was fighting these Spiritual Pirates in the early stages.
However, in a 'Black Abyss Battle', Gu Hang took action personally.
He couldn't stand this group of pirates who were increasingly fond of invading the alliance for trouble.
Call my son, and he borrowed the remaining abilities of the Demon Lord of Changes, and calculated the fluctuations of the spiritual pirates using the star gate to travel, and then set the Black Abyss Galaxy. The triple gravity trap, and then used a group of caravans transporting materials and population as bait, breaking into the enemy's "trap" as if ignorant.
The follow-up things went smoothly.
The pirates who appeared were captured by the gravity trap and their speed was greatly reduced. The merchant ship took the opportunity to run away, and at the same time, the main fleet ambushed by the alliance jumped to the Black Abyss galaxy through the Star Realm Tunnel and arrived at the high speed.
In this battle, the most important battleship in the alliance, the Queen of Glory, was the "Oriental" and showed its power in the first battle!
More than 67 Dark Elves pirate ships have turned into waste in the universe.
The accumulated treasures fell into the hands of the alliance.
The greatest benefit, or a lesson to the Dark Spirit Clan, was that the alliance also captured the huge star gate arranged by the Dark Spirit Clan in the "Black Abyss Galaxy".
In order to prevent it from being used by humans, the star gate was quickly closed from the inside.
But before closing the door, the Alliance fleet, especially the "Oriental", bombed several heavy artillery inside.
These few moves will probably cause great damage to the city of "Comoros" opposite the Star Gate.
It is really hard to vent if you don’t teach these dark spirits a lesson.
And the other point was that Gu Hang stuffed ten thousand heroic spirits into it with the help of the chaos when the star gate opened and the inside was bombed for a moment.
Those dark spirits may discover these heroic spirits and carry out full swings, but as long as these heroic spirits exist, Gu Hang can find a way to "City of Curtains" that is in the curtain between subspace and the real universe - Comoro The specific location of the , and the calculation is carried out.
If Gu Hang can really calculate the specific location of Comoros and think of a way to enter Comoros, then it means that when facing those spiritual pirates, humans will It is no longer just a situation where you are passively beaten, but also an opportunity and ability to take the initiative to threaten the Dark Spirit Clan’s lair!
