Chapter 2, Gift
In fact, this is the first month that Gu Hang has traveled through time.
He is now in a cosmic era, where a huge human empire rules the boundless star field. The God Emperor who ascended ten thousand years ago established a 'spiritual network' and brought spiritual energy to mankind. The current empire is ruled by the Supreme Council sitting on the human home planet of Terra.
About 120 years ago, the planet Gu Hang was currently on was still an ordinary world. A war completely destroyed the surface environment of the entire world, and Angry Owl became a wasteland planet.
29 years ago, the imperial government assessed that there was still hope of saving the Raging Owl, and dispatched a governor for the first time after the war to take charge of the reconstruction work.
Within the Empire's system, planetary governors can rule their planets in any way, provided that the governors remain loyal to the empire.
What is loyalty? Paying taxes is loyalty. If they don't pay taxes, or if they don't pay enough, they will be killed and replaced with a loyal one.
So far, in the past 29 years, Raging Owl has had five governors.
In fact, each of Gu Hang's three previous positions only lasted two years. The imperial tax of Raging Owl is paid every two years, and none of these three unlucky guys survived the first tax payment after taking office.
And now, Gu Hang is here.
A month ago, when he had just time-traveled and merged his body memory, he was already on the starship coming to the Raging Owl Star. He wants to ensure that after two years, the Raging Owl can pay a quarter of the standard tax, and the district government will foot the bill for the remaining three-quarters. This is a favorable condition that the Gu family, a political family to which he belongs, has fought for him. .
If you pay tax for the second time after four years, you must pay the tax in full.
A cruiser belonging to the sector navy was anchored in the orbit of the planet to provide him with support. The manpower he brought to the surface was only 3,000 slaves, 300 servitor soldiers whose frontal lobes had been removed and mechanically transformed. 30 Marines, led by Captain Yan Fangxu.
The main political power on Raging Owl is called the Alliance, which was established by the first governor 29 years ago.
It stands to reason that after Gu Hang came to Raging Owl, he should land in Fuxing City, the capital city of the alliance, take over the identity of the leader of the alliance, and then start to implement the power of planetary governor based on the alliance government.
But he didn't do that. He took his people and set up a camp not far from Fuxing City, and then he started doing things that were incomprehensible.
For example, Yan Fangxu didn't understand why Gu Hang wanted to train those 300 servitor soldiers?
These slaves who have lost their own thinking cannot even operate armored vehicles and artillery well. They can only be equipped with the lowest level equipment and are used as cannon fodder, with no training value at all.
However, he had to be ashamed of his shallow knowledge.
He watched helplessly as those servitors actually underwent earth-shaking changes in a very short period of time!
He saw that under the command of Gu Hang, these servitor soldiers quickly completed a series of pre-departure tasks such as forming a team and inspecting equipment; and in the previous training, these servitors also showed skills and tactics that far exceeded those before. level. Shooting, physical fitness, tactics... these have all been greatly improved. Coupled with their original characteristics of not fearing sacrifice and completely observing discipline, they have become high-level soldiers.
This is already the level of the regular Imperial Guard Astra Militarum troops.
Although, he still didn't think these servitor soldiers were rivals of his elite marines, but that only meant one-on-one. There are only 30 elite marines, but there are 300 these servitors.
More importantly, Yan Fangxu didn't understand how Gu Hang did it.
This was completely beyond his understanding: didn't the servitor soldiers only depend on their level when they were transformed, and subsequent training was meaningless?
While he was in a daze, he heard Gu Hang's angry voice: "Captain Yan, tell your team to move faster. How come the elite Marine Corps can't prepare as fast as servitors before the war?"
< br>
After coming back to his senses, Yan Fangxu saluted Gu Hang with a little shame, then turned his head and yelled at his subordinates who were also dumbfounded by the changes in the servitor camp: "What are you brats doing? Hurry up! The five slowest people will start sleeping with the servitors tomorrow!”
After watching Yan Fangxu kick the team members' butts one by one, Gu Hang chuckled, looked back, and refocused on the panel information displayed in front of him.
The illusive and floating fonts in his eyes constitute multiple options:
[Current Gift Points: 2] [Total Territory Income: 5/Terra Month]
【Hero】
【Military Card】
There were four items in total. Gu Hang clicked on the second item [Total Territory Income]. Here, he saw more detailed information: [Governor Temporary Camp: 5/Terra Month].
There is and only this one.
According to Caihang's understanding, this total monthly income depends on the total income recognized by the system and provided for the territory to which he belongs. And his current territory only has this temporary camp.
After seeing the system and learning that he had become the governor, he was originally very interested. He wanted to know how many gifts could be provided to him every month after having a planet as his territory?
However, after landing in Fuxing City from the starship, this number was still zero.
He guessed at that time that the nominal territory could not be recognized by the system, and it had to be under actual control by himself.
As an airborne governor, it is not easy to control the political power of a loose wasteland alliance and integrate the entire alliance. If it had been done well, the previous governors would not have been doomed.
Therefore, he decisively abandoned the route that had led past governors to take. He turned around and asked for slaves and some armed forces from the starship. He left Fuxing City and found an open space. He planned to start from scratch and use the golden finger that accompanied him through time. stand up.
When he took the people and established a temporary camp completely under his control, the number finally changed from 0 to 4.
The initial number of 4, Gu Hang guessed, was due to the population; the later increase was probably due to the camp being built larger and more complete.
Among the two latter items in the system, [Hero] shows his own panel; among the soldier cards, there are two items.
[Marine Corps Detachment 1, Comprehensive T4 Level, Upgradeable]
[Quantity: 30 people], [Equipment: T4], [Training: T4], [Experience: T4]
This is the situation of the thirty people led by Yan Fangxu.
The other one is the servitor light infantry battalion that has just been upgraded.
[1st Servitor Light Infantry Battalion, comprehensive T5 level, not upgradeable]
[Quantity: 300 people], [Equipment: T5], [Training: T5], [Experience: -]
The T level should correspond to the overall strength of the unit. The smaller the number, the more elite it is. The Servitor Light Infantry Battalion started out as an inferior level, with complete equipment, including rifles, grenades, and squad machine guns; the platoon level had mortars and rifle grenades, but lacked heavy weapons, so it could only be considered a light infantry battalion.
He spent 3 points of grace to upgrade this light infantry battalion. In four days, this cannon fodder unit, which was brainless, could only act according to orders, and was considered to have extremely low training value, underwent earth-shaking changes.
Once you reach the T5 level of training, you can almost be considered to have reached the level of strength of the Empire's regular army. The T4 level where the Marine Corps is located can be regarded as a conventional elite force.
It was precisely because the servitor infantry who were originally just cannon fodder had completed their upgrades that Gu Hang had the confidence to participate forcefully after hearing about the situation of the Wasted Dong Society.
This is an opportunity, and he now has the skills to take advantage of it.
He hoped to use this incident to incorporate the Wasted Dong Society into his actual rule, instead of just being a nominal governor. In the future, he will gradually expand the scope of his actual control to the entire planet.
