Chapter 170, You can’t bear to leave me?

Martins was also moved when he heard that there was a new power armor, which also included a set of terminators.

Terminator type power armor has far stronger performance than ordinary power armor.

The armor is thicker, the built-in power system is more powerful, and it can be equipped with heavier weapons and equipment. Whether it is used as a powerful fire support platform at medium and long distances, or in close-range melee combat, it has unparalleled advantages. There are even two small shield generators installed inside its thick shoulder armor, which further enhances the capabilities of the Terminator armor.

In the past, when Phoenix was still developed, there were only a few dozen Terminators in the entire group of 1,000 people.

Compared with ordinary tactical armor, Terminator armor has two disadvantages:

First, it is expensive, much more expensive.

Second, it is not flexible enough.

After wearing the Terminator, it may not be possible to operate silently. The Terminator armor, which is three to four times heavier than ordinary armor and also has a shield generator, will still hinder flexibility even if it also has neural interfaces and electronic muscle bundles.

But compared to the greater firepower, greater strength, thicker armor, and additional energy shield it provides, the loss of flexibility is completely acceptable.

Martins couldn't help but sigh: If he had had a Terminator armor on him during that battle on the surface, Schneider would not have died.

Stronger equipment is not only for yourself, but also to protect more fighting brothers around you.

In addition, he also noticed that Gu Hang mentioned more power armor in his words.

Obviously, this is to prepare for the war group to develop more people in the future. Using the gene seeds of the three brothers who died in the previous battle, they could theoretically add three more members. Before, he was worried about the problems with power armor, especially Schneider's suit, which was seriously damaged beyond repair.

Now, there is no need to worry.

"Thank you." He said to Gu Hang.

Gu Hang waved his hand: "It's my turn to thank you."

……

Inspect the army, visit the injured soldiers, and visit the Phoenix Chapter who played an important role.

This is what Gu Hang did when the starship returned to the orbit of the angry owl star.

The way back, even with a starship, would take several days.

Halfway through, he also saw a new system message: Another month has passed, and the monthly fixed gift points have been distributed.

The gift points this time have been improved compared to the last time. The range is not particularly large, but it has reached 678 points.

The main growth comes from the newly incorporated garbage town. One hundred thousand workers and one hundred thousand scavengers in the town, with a total population of two hundred thousand, were given a monthly income of 55 points of grace.

There is still a lot of room for growth. Garbage Town has been semi-stopped for the past month. Due to war issues, most of the waste collection, raw material processing, and supporting service industries have stopped. As a result, productivity has not been tapped at all, resulting in a large population and not many gift points.

Now that the war has stopped and related production is recovering, it is expected that this number will eventually grow at a relatively high rate.

In addition, Wei Xing City, Fuxing City, and other scattered camps that were recovered and retained were also given in total, and the total was this number.

After this month's 'salary' arrived, even if the 500 gift points Gu Hang spent to upgrade his level to LV5 were removed, the number of gift points he had on hand now still reached a huge 4658 points!

He had only one idea: to go back quickly and get the building systems that had been unlocked but not built yet, and get the technology that needed to be drawn.

After all these more than 4,000 points are spent, the development of his territory will reach a new level.

Never been so rich!

He even remembered the things he had talked about with his cousin before.

The investment of the Gu family?

No need.

Do you need krypton gold to cheat?

I, Gu Hang, have been able to develop my planet to this point all because of my own efforts!

Technology panel, pump it for me!

Building panels, make them for me!

To be honest, after learning all the nonsense about his predecessor, his predecessor's mother, his predecessor's family, and the district government from his cousin, Gu Hang actually didn't have much feelings in his heart. He had neither hope nor disappointment.

At least in terms of his own development, he has never looked to others for help.

His own development is quite good, relying on a bunch of black boxes that make the Mechanicus drool when he knows about it, Gu Hang is really not afraid of anything else.

Just give me time and don't mess with it too much.

However, that's where the problem lies.

It's one thing not to expect support or help from others, but it's another thing not to expect anything unexpected.

His identity, the reason why he took office, and the political struggle between various forces on the angry owl star are all inseparable whirlpools.

If he wanted to develop well without being disturbed, Gu Hang, as the governor, really couldn't ignore it at all.

He must know what kind of political ecology he is facing.

The information brought by Wang Jiarong gave him a lot of inspiration.

As the leader of the Qianglong sector, Peddes wants to subdue the Faches family, the local leader, and the two sides engage in a political struggle around the angry owl star. The Gu family was originally considered to be in the Peddes camp, and they probably haven't reached the stage of jumping out of the car yet, but at least they don't want to tie the two parties so deeply and want to repair the relationship with the local snakes.

Leader Peddes was obviously not happy. He tricked the fool who was Gu Hang's predecessor into the game. On the one hand, he wanted to get the Gu family to pay him to help him solve the problem of the Raging Owl Star. On the other hand, even if it failed, it would not be possible to repair the relationship between the Gu and Fa families. The process is interrupted to prevent one corner of your own triangle from falling to the other side.

There are many twists and turns here.

He combined some memories and information in his mind and pinpointed a key point: To put it bluntly, the Gu family's business has been doing well in recent years, and its influence has spread to many surrounding star regions, not just limited to Tianma Star District. Their dependence on the leader, Peders, has become less. On the contrary, the demand for key markets with sources of goods such as Faches has become higher.

This was a change in the overall situation, which caused Gu's overall strategy to begin to adjust.

And if it falls on you, the situation will be more complicated.

He is a member of the Gu family, but he has a bad relationship with his mother. The Gu family also opposed him becoming the governor, and ignored him after he took office;

He was the one who got the appointment letter from Pei Desi through his own efforts, but Pei Desi essentially wanted to drag Gu into trouble, but because of Gu's quick behavior of cutting off from Gu Hang, the plan could not be realized, and he even ended up with Gu Hang. The Gu family's relationship became even more tense. It's hard to say what the current leader's attitude towards Gu Hang is.

The Fofana family to which Yelicia belongs currently seems to be on the same side as Pedes, so there is no need to treat them separately for the time being.

The Fachers family, Gu's past enemies, are now repairing their relationship. But the actions of the governor to consolidate power on the planet will definitely affect their important asset layout. No matter what kind of relationship or position they would have with the Gu family in the end, things would definitely not get better with Gu Hang anyway.

"That's wrong! After such an analysis, why do I feel that my current political environment is so bad? Everyone is the enemy?"

He rubbed his head, feeling that his thinking could not be so rigid.

This situation was definitely wrong. Gu Hang really needed to find a political collaborator and backer. Otherwise, his previous idea of ​​using military merit and the threat of green skins to form an Astra Militarum force to offset taxes would have turned out to be his own wild imagination.

On his own, how could he find a way to communicate with the Imperial Military Affairs Department?

He had to find a suitable partner to help him turn the fruits of victory in this war into tangible benefits.

"There must be a way..."

He calmed down again and thought about it carefully. Of the three parties currently in contact, the Faches family was the first to exclude them.

Unfamiliar, and with major conflicts of interest that are almost irreconcilable. What they want is for Angry Owl to leave the empire, but if that doesn't work, the next best thing is to have a puppet governor so that Blackbird Heavy Industries, which they invested in Angry Owl, can continue not to pay taxes, and even allow three of their own planets to evade taxes. Under supervision, Gu Hang could not cooperate with them, even if their important industry was on the Raging Owl and within his nominal rule.

This is an enemy.

The enemy's enemy is the one who can win the most, and that is leader Pedes.

This one is relatively more promising than the Gu family. After all, taking care of the Raging Owl Star is Peders' core goal, which is consistent with his own.

And it's not impossible for the Gu family, after all, there is a biological mother here.

Then there's no point in continuing to guess.

Gu Hang decided to talk to them separately.

Gu Hang's core appeal is to get the Astra Militarum tax deduction issue and save 10 million tax coins. Anyone who can help him get this done is a good friend.

From this perspective, his goal is quite clear.

……

When Ye Lixia learned about Gu Hang's visit, she had just ended her contact with the family.

Although the relevant battle report has not yet been handed in, she must discuss this matter with her family first. Fofana has deep roots in the navy. He is familiar with how to polish the battle report, how to prepare in advance, how to manage things clearly, build momentum, and pave the way, but he is short of serious achievements.

She was still thinking about her biological father's face, which was clearly bursting with laughter but trying hard to hold it back, praising her for a job well done with a rosy complexion.

She herself was very happy.

Feel proud!

Who dares to say that I am a related household now? The actual record was a blur on his face!

What does Gu Hang want to do when he comes over now?

However, she was in a good mood at the moment and could do anything.

In her captain's cabin, she met Gu Hang.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Gu Hang brought up the reason for his visit: he hoped to have a phone call with Chief Peders.

There is no such condition for communication across galaxies on the Raging Owl. Even on an armed merchant ship like the Beautiful Maiden, which is equivalent to the size of a destroyer, it can only send letters at most, but cannot make real-time calls.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Lixia finally understood what Gu Hang wanted to do when he met the leader.

She smiled and said: "Fortunately, the communication cabin on the ship was not damaged during the battle. I have a dedicated line to the leader's office, but I can't guarantee whether the leader will have time to see you."

"It's okay."

Yelicia asked someone to dial the psychic communication.

Soon, news came:

"Chief Peters will have time for a phone call in twenty minutes, and we have made an appointment."

Yelicia turned to Gu Hang and said, "It seems we are pretty lucky."

The next thing is to wait.

While waiting, Gu Hang chatted with Ye Lixia for a while.

Mainly referring to his concept of the Astra Militarum.

There is nothing that cannot be said, and this has no conflict with the navy.

However, after hearing his thoughts, Yelicia's eyes widened and she sighed: "You are really wild, you dare to think of such a method."

"Then can you evaluate it, is it feasible?"

"I think it's okay." Yelicia said, "Anyway, even if you finish building the Astra Militarum and are transferred away, you won't lose anything."

"Then is it possible not to be transferred away? Or, if it is to be transferred, it will be transferred temporarily." Gu Hang said, "Just like the Pegasus fleet."

"I understand what you mean." Yelicia said, "If it can be like the Pegasus Fleet, then you have indeed made a profit. But it is quite difficult."

"That's why I'm looking for our leader."

"Then I wish you good luck." The female captain didn't want to talk any more. This matter had nothing to do with her, and she wouldn't help Gu Hang make suggestions.

Gu Hang also ended the topic and talked about another matter: "Next, will you and your starship continue to be stationed in the orbit of the Raging Owl?"

"The Quintet will no longer be stationed here." Yelicia said with some regret: "The damage to the starship is actually not serious, and it needs to be towed to repair the ship as soon as possible. The nearest forging world is the 'Fire Lord', and it needs to be sailed It will take two months to arrive. In order to ensure the safety of the Quintet, the fleet headquarters may also detach a force to escort the Quintet. It is optimistically estimated that it will take two or three years to repair the ship before it can return to full condition. . But you don’t have to worry, since there is a two-year escort period and the Quintet is no longer there, another ship will be transferred to do the same job.”

"Oh." Gu Hang nodded and asked: "What about you? I won't let you, a general, go with the Quintet to repair the ship for a few years, right?"

"That's not the case." Yelicia said, "There are several possibilities. Maybe I will be transferred to a certain ship. If I am at the same level as the original captain, I will be an observer; if my level is higher, the captain will accept it for the time being. My command, in short, is a transition to carry out the original mission of the ship; I may also be transferred to a higher-level military academy for further training and lectures. The specific arrangements will depend on it.”

"Then..." Gu Hang said, "If it is transferred to another ship, is there any way to transfer to the ship that will come to the Raging Owl Star?"

"Hahaha!"

Yelicia smiled so brightly that after she finally stopped, she said with a residual smile: "Why can't you let me go?"

Gu Hang nodded sincerely: "Yes, our previous cooperation was quite pleasant. The occasional conflicts were just accidental, so we really couldn't bear to part with them."

“I can’t help but feel reluctant to give up.”

"You will find a way." Gu Hang continued to say seriously, "After all, we still have a battle to finish."

"Oh?" Yelicia became interested.

Every time Gu Hang mentioned 'battle', it was just a show of achievement.

But at this time, Gu Hang was unwilling to say more: "You will know when the time comes. If you have other good opportunities, go for it. If not, stay in the orbit of the Raging Owl. You will not Will be disappointed.”

Yelicia thoughtfully said: "Okay, then I will try my best to think of a solution."
