Chapter 209: Will I become the head of the province?
Flying Wing Star, Gu's residence.
A middle-aged woman, wearing a bathrobe, was sitting on the sofa, reading a stack of letters and newspapers.
She frowned during the first half of the paragraph.
But when she saw the second half, she frowned again.
Seeing the great change in the expression on the hostess's face, the housekeeper standing next to her couldn't help but ask: "Is this news from Master Hang?"
"Yes." The middle-aged woman, Gu Hang's biological mother Wang Qi, casually handed the letter to her confidant, "You should also take a look."
The housekeeper took the letter and read it carefully, with a look of shock on her face.
A big demon appeared on the Angry Owl Star, and the demon rift opened... These news, of course, made her worried.
But if it's solved successfully, that's good.
She gently stroked her chest, calmed down her fear, and returned the letter to the hostess. At the same time, she said: "What Master Hang did is too shocking... Let's find a way to get the Master back, so it doesn't take all day." Terrified. ”
"It's not that easy. The Planetary Governor didn't say that he could just unload it. But it's okay. That brat went to a remote place, and he really enlightened and became promising. Go out and experience it, and you'll make a bigger difference. It's better than those in the past. For years, it would be better to stay on Wing Star and be a useless waste.”
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel melancholy.
Why not earlier?
If her son could wake up earlier and show his mature, responsible and capable side earlier, she wouldn't have to be so tired these years. Many things could have been handed over to him step by step.
The housekeeper has been with Wang Qi for many years, and she can probably figure out what the mistress is worried about.
She thought for a moment and then cautiously came up with an idea: "How about... we should help a bunch of young masters?"
Wang Qi looked up at this subordinate who had been following her for many years and asked: "Help? How do you want to help?"
"Uh..." She was really thinking about it, "We can help Mr. Hang's planet to build some factories through construction assistance? If ownership is not easy to get, we can hang it on a new Gu's caravan. Here, this new caravan will only serve Young Master Hang..."
"Building a factory is useless if it is less. If it is more, how can the family pass this investment plan? It is the Gu family's principle to avoid heavy asset investments other than the fleet."
When she said this, Wang Qi sneered, seeming to be disapproving of this, with a slightly mocking meaning.
However, she finally sighed: "This won't work, at least not now."
She looked out the window: "Wait until I solve this problem... As long as everything goes well, what's ours will be ours from now on, and we don't have to listen to the instructions of those old guys anymore."
After hearing this, the housekeeper became a little worried.
She hesitated for a moment, then said: "Do you want to talk to Master Hang about this matter? He is also a governor now. Maybe he can provide some help?"
"No." Wang Qi said decisively, "Don't say it."
"Are you worried that he will still be influenced by his uncles and cousins? But I think Mr. Hang has grown up a lot now, so he shouldn't..."
"Be safe, be safe. When my work is done, he may hate me, but no matter what, the entire Gu family belongs to him."
The housekeeper wanted to give a few more words of advice, but looking at Wang Qi's appearance, she finally did not say the words of persuasion. She could only sigh: "I hope Mr. Hang can understand your intentions in the future."
Wang Qi snorted coldly: "He doesn't need to be considerate. I just gave the things that originally belonged to my husband to his son. That brat, just don't cause any trouble to me."
The housekeeper lowered her head, but couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This mother and son... are really more awkward than the other.
"Okay, you go ahead and I'll rest for a while."
"Okay."
The hostess spoke, but the housekeeper didn't stay long and turned around to leave.
Wang Qi, who was alone, couldn't help herself. She took out the letter and newspaper that she had just read and read it from beginning to end again.
Then, she stood up, took out a wooden box from the bookcase next to her, opened it and put the letter and newspaper inside.
There is already a thick stack in this wooden box.
……
Gu Hang, who was far away on the Raging Star, had no idea what his mother was thinking, let alone that she was planning to give him a whole big job.
At this moment, he is having many rounds of discussions with his bureaucratic team about matters in the Qinggu area.
I thought that since he overthrew the base camp of the Natural Salvation Society and all the Great Unclean Ones who came forward were expelled back to the Chaos Abyss, things in the south would be settled, right?
But it doesn't.
In that land, there is another very fundamental problem: aberrations.
After Hu Ke's narration, Gu Hang probably understood that the aberrations on Raging Owl were not caused by the Natural Salvation Society or demons. These things are essentially the 'climate disasters' that occurred after the ecological collapse of the angry owl planet.
Nuo Xiaoxing used to be a developed world of energy mining, and the Linghua gas field was the main output. The barrier between the Raging Owl Star and the dark side of the universe and the spiritual world seems to be particularly weak. At the weakest point, the spiritual energy penetrates the barrier between the two worlds and condenses somewhere. Over the years, a spiritual energy field is formed.
But after the last disaster, most of the spiritual energy fields on the angry owl star collapsed. The roaring, unfettered psychic power causes all kinds of strange disasters.
The waste energy storm is the most typical one. The ruins of the tower outside the garbage town are still blowing. The energy collection equipment and energy compression equipment placed there can stably produce energy crystals equivalent to 80,000 tax coins every month.
This is hard currency.
In fact, the same is true for the aberrant monsters that are common throughout the wasteland, especially in the Qinggu area. They are plants that are activated by spiritual energy.
Gevaga made use of these things. Through his previous technical knowledge and the so-called 'fatherly grace', he spread a certain virus that could control these plants into the vast forest land of Qinggu.
But now, Gewajia is dead, the summoned demon has been expelled, and the influence of the Chaos Abyss that eroded reality in the Qinggu area no longer exists.
This caused the aberrant supernatural virus that spread everywhere and infected almost most of the people to lose its foundation and disappear.
However, the central nervous system of those aberrations that have been transformed will not be restored.
The aberrations that were missing a piece of their central nervous system were all going crazy. They rushed out of the woods crazily and attacked all living creatures.
No structure, no plan.
To be honest, these monsters are not difficult to deal with. Although there are a large number of special varieties among them that have been transformed by the Natural Salvation Society over the years, they are quite powerful. However, there are ways to deal with brainless things, no matter how powerful they are.
Not to mention, they are even more brainless than before.
After all, although these aberrations did not have the ability to think independently before, they still had their controllers.
Before that, in almost every large-scale action of the aberrations, there were traces of those loving followers. By controlling the virus, they can roughly control the actions of the entire monster group.
It is also true that they can more or less put out cannon fodder in front to cover the approach of shooting infantry such as abscess sprayers; biochemical artillery bombs from a distance; zombie dogs wait for the opportunity to launch a fatal surprise attack when the enemy's formation is chaotic. Causing a lot of damage...
However, without the control of the cultists, these brainless monsters no longer have even the most basic tactical coordination capabilities.
In front of the army, isn't this a wild beast waiting to be slaughtered?
However, their number is simply too many.
According to Hu Ke's calculations and estimates, there may be between 150 million and 300 million aberrations of various types in the entire Qinggu area, living in the vast jungles of the Qinggu area.
This is a terrifying number, many times greater than the population of the entire planet; thirty times the total population of the Qinggu region.
Even the Nature Salvation Society only has the ability to infect most of the aberrant monsters, but does not have the ability to command so many monsters at the same time.
But now, when all these monsters get out of control and kill like crazy, the trouble will be huge.
No matter how stupid they are, with 150 million to 300 million here, it would take who knows how long to produce enough shells and bullets to wipe them all out.
However, fortunately, when these monsters go berserk, they don't recognize their relatives, and they don't just target humans and other creatures. They also attack their own kind.
It is precisely because of this that the pressure faced by Army Group Center in the Qinggu area is relatively not that strong.
Fortunately, the Beiqinggu area has carried out large-scale terrain transformation work to eliminate the jungle, and the number of aberrations here has also been reduced.
Various settlements and towns began to tighten their defense lines, and there was no need to go out. The army defends each node and requests firepower at any time when encountering a wave of monsters.
The alliance's air force formations are very busy, attacking everywhere; even the Blade Tiger in the sky will occasionally help, firing a few scalpels down to clear out some places where enemies gather in large areas...
The turmoil in the Qinggu area lasted for three full months before gradually subsided.
After these three months, there were no more reports of monsters appearing in various settlements.
Under this situation, Gu Hang could safely call back Army Group Central.
But despite this, people still need to be retained in the Qinggu area.
Hu Ke was on a business trip in the Qinggu area. Under the protection of the special operations brigade, he investigated some jungles and found that some aberrant monsters were still alive.
Although their numbers have been greatly reduced, they may repopulate.
However, without the influence of the power of the abyss, the reproduction speed should not be particularly fast, and it will not be easy to restore the original population size.
Moreover, the central nervous systems of these aberrations slowly got rid of the influence of the chaos virus that disappeared out of thin air, and became much calmer.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should return to their traditional appearance decades ago: breeding normally in the jungle until the population reaches the upper limit of environmental tolerance and begins to overflow, forming a wave of aberrations; when the population increases significantly After it is reduced to normal levels, it will continue to reproduce in the jungle.
Their reproduction and growth rate are related to the season and light. This is why waves of traditional aberrations are seasonal.
If it were just like this, these aberrations would no longer be much of a threat.
After this wave of disasters in the Southern Qinggu area, I'm afraid there are not many living people left, and some have gone to the north; the Northern Qinggu area now has a population of about eight million. After clearing the jungle and the aberrations, they only need to deal with the incoming waves. Just the question of the south.
In the past, there was almost no industrial production capacity in the Qinggu area, and it was normal to rely on the armed forces of each manor. Now, with the regular army of the alliance, the regular and traditional wave of aberrations will be wiped out when they leave the jungle. .
For this reason, Gu Hang still had to leave a force in the Qinggu area.
He retained all the 15th-25th Divisions established from the Qinggu area and established the Qinggu Garrison Group Army.
These 11 divisions are all garrison divisions. They are cheap but sufficient.
They will be responsible for the long-term defense of the North Green Valley area.
In fact, the best way to deal with those aberrant monsters is to go deep into the jungle and eradicate them.
But that's obviously unlikely.
The Qinggu area is too big, and Gu Hang's current total number of troops, which is less than 200,000, cannot do this kind of thing. Moreover, according to Hu Ke's assessment, the aberrations are a manifestation of psychic disasters. As long as the jungle is still there, they will regenerate if they are killed.
And if the jungle is cleared, then the aberrations will no longer appear, but the psychic disaster will not subside, and will most likely transform into a waste energy storm.
It would be better to clear out the aberrations regularly every year.
After all, after the aberration monster is destroyed, the waste can still be recycled. If it is thrown away and turned into synthetic starch, the land will be fertile.
If it becomes a waste energy storm, it will be impossible to farm.
Gu Hang's positioning of the entire Beiqinggu region is the 'granary of the alliance'.
After the alliance has solved the aberration wave, a disaster faced every year, united the entire region, and established a unified political power, agricultural productivity can increase significantly if optimistic estimates are made.
If the entire Beiqinggu area is turned into an agricultural production area, a large number of farms are built, and some hub cities are built to focus on transportation, commerce, primary processing of agricultural products, service industries and other industries, then it will be fine.
Crocker Manor was also renamed ‘Beitan City’ as the capital of Beitan Valley Province.
Jason Morgan, who played a very important role in recovering the Beiqinggu area and quelling the disaster, was transferred out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He was appointed to establish the provincial government of Beiqinggu and served as the first senior executive officer.
His rank was directly promoted to C1 level.
Jason Morgan felt that this appointment was reasonable, but after it actually happened, he felt dreamy.
"I used to be an employee of a small company in Fuxing City. In just a few months, I became the head of the province?"
