Chapter 225: The thought of investment alliance
Faced with Gritte's unwillingness and dissatisfaction, Gu Hang was helpless.
"Sister Gerrit, I am also very sorry. The contributions you and your sisters have made over the past year have been seen by everyone on the planet. I am very grateful for your contribution, and I really hope that you can Stay and together we will completely eliminate the group of heretics from the original Angry Owl Sect.”
"But I can't be so selfish. You still have to communicate with Koroga 3. In the end, whether you decide to go or stay, I respect your choice."
Gu Hang's words were polite and sincere.
This was exactly what he had in mind.
No matter how unwilling she was, Gerrit could only nod.
Before dialing the interstellar communication with Koroga 3, she said to Gu Hang seriously: "I will try to stay, at least until those group of cultists are eliminated."
Gu Hang smiled and nodded.
……
When Gerrit communicated with her hometown, Gu Hang left gracefully without listening.
After the nun grew up, her face looked very ugly.
At this time, Gu Hang asked: "How is it? Is the situation still serious?"
"Yes." Gritte sighed, "Perhaps, Koruga 3 will face a war."
Gu Hang's face also darkened.
He asked: "Is it like...the time in the history of Raging Owl?"
"It's best not to get to that point. We go back to prevent this from happening."
"Huh..."
Gu Hang took a long breath.
He didn't know what happened on Koroga 3, but he didn't want that place to fall into huge chaos.
The total population of the entire Pegasus sector, excluding Koroja 3, the remaining eight planets add up to a total population of 40 billion.
When Koroga 3 was in turmoil, half of the population of the sector was plunged into turmoil. All kinds of commerce, trade, and exchanges will come to a standstill.
Gu Hang is still waiting for him to become the head of the Gu family. Even if he is a puppet, the actual power lies with his mother, but it does not prevent him from using family resources to strengthen the Raging Owl Star in the direction of interstellar trade.
Isn't this why he built the star port?
This is a huge financial benefit.
But I saw that the war was about to begin.
If it is a small disturbance within the scope of the planet, then it is okay; but if it really spreads to the scale of the terrible war in the history of the Raging Owl Star in the past, fleets will need to be mobilized to blockade, a large amount of material investment will be needed, and the Astra Militarum will need to be continuously dispatched. Calm down the situation...
It's over. If things don't get settled, business may not be able to recover.
Moreover, if we look at it more seriously, if this disaster spreads beyond Koroja 3, the Raging Owl will probably bear the brunt.
From Koroga 3 to the Raging Owl, it only takes one astral jump, and is directly connected by an astral tunnel. If corruption, cult traitors, or even demons really spread out from Koroga 3 and marched away, the Raging Owl would not be able to escape.
The disaster that can destroy Koruga 3, extended to the outside world, it is impossible for the Raging Owl to resist.
This is an absolute disparity in size. A planet with a population of 40 billion cannot stop the disaster. A planet with a population of only 40 million that is a thousand times different is impossible to withstand.
Gu Hang still hopes that the problems aboard the Koluga 3 can be solved properly.
However, there are not many things he can do in it.
It's another matter where we can only wait for the result.
However, at this time, it was Garrett who comforted him: "Don't worry so much. There are twenty hives on Koruga No. 3, and each hive is so large and densely populated. There are too many It is a place and people that cannot be regulated by law enforcement agencies and administrative departments. All kinds of disgusting things happen there all the time, and the breeding of cults is one of them. This time, it is just that the scale is larger and the situation is worse, not necessarily. It will really develop to the point of no return. I will go back to solve this problem.”
"I hope you can resolve it properly." That was all Gu Hang could say.
"Well, but..." Gritte seemed to have made a decision and said to Gu Hang: "But we don't have a spaceship to go back now. Red Bishop Zhao Qing said that he would send a spaceship of the State Church to pick him up from the Raging Owl Star. It will take at least six or seven days for us to come here, plus the round trip... He told me that we can return to Koroga within a month, so I am thinking..."< br>
"If we act in advance, will there be time in the meantime that will allow us to completely eradicate the Original Angry Owl Sect?"
Obviously, the head nun was still unwilling to give in.
She really felt aggrieved and uncomfortable after doing something for a year and leaving without any results.
That's why we came up with this proposal.
But Gu Hang is very calm.
"If we can, of course it's best. But... we can't act too hastily. Now, do we have enough information? Is there enough time? Is the time ripe?"
Gerrit said calmly: "It's not that mature, but it's not impossible. Listen to me..."
She carefully told Gu Hang about their so-called recent big gains.
Gu Hang has been listening carefully and interjecting questions from time to time.
During this process, he seriously considered whether the plan proposed by Garrett was feasible.
If we can really solve this serious problem before the nuns leave and regain the Northland area in one fell swoop, then this is obviously a good thing.
Although, he has already formed a new team of heretic demon hunters, with a size of fifty people. He spent thousands of his gifts and threw half of this month's income into it, preparing to let them take over the battle. The work of the nuns.
But this is a trick after all.
The abilities of the Heretic Demon Hunter are not as powerful as those of the Battle Sisters. In terms of investigation and exploration, they may be barely able to catch up, but their combat effectiveness is far behind. Even if they are equipped with exoskeletons and the best individual equipment in the alliance, and they have a variety of psychic talents, they are definitely no match for the Battle Sisters.
These female brothers are expensive, and in a one-on-one fight, only the Space Marines can stabilize them. Calculated according to the abilities in Gu Hang's weapon card system, they are at least T1-level super warriors plus a set of Emperor's Blessing buffs.
In addition to their combat capabilities, the Battle Sisters have been investigating the group of cultists for a year and have been active in the Northland region for such a long time. Whether it is the level of intelligence they possess or their understanding of the local situation, they are not new heresy hunters. Demons can compare.
All are disadvantages.
It would be best if the matter could be resolved before the nuns left.
After listening to Gerrit's detailed explanation, Gu Hang thought in his mind:
"Your plan is really possible. Let me think about it carefully... Where is Thaddeus? Let my chief of staff come. I have to know how much power we can mobilize."
……
Five days later, Northland Region, Polar Industrial City.
Now, it's almost autumn. In the Qinggu area in the south, residual heat still exists, and the harvest season for staple food cultivation has arrived. The land is golden, and people have begun to work hard and happily.
It will be a good year. In the north, it’s already snowing this season.
The first heavy snowfall made the entire area around the Far North Industrial City turn silvery white.
But this city alone, standing in the white snow, is still dusty and hot.
The Northland area is very large, larger than the North and South Qinggu areas combined. But the climate here is relatively harsher, and it was also greatly damaged in that world-destroying war. People's living environment is harsher and the population is sparser.
According to the last census of the old alliance a few years ago, during the second generation of the governor, the total population of such a large Northland should have been only three million people.
In the North, the largest force is a company called "Polar Industrial Group".
A large number of people in the North are serving them. Or directly become their employees, which has a higher status, more remuneration, and better living conditions; but there are also many informal employees, or simply serve the surrounding industries of the Polar Industrial Group, so this Planting won’t work.
It doesn't matter...then generally speaking, life is poorer.
Polar Industrial Group has relatively good industrial capabilities and produces a variety of consumer goods and mechanical products, including vehicles, engineering machinery, and arms.
In the Northland region itself, food production is very small, and there are only a few greenhouse planting bases, but this is not enough to ensure the food needs of millions of people.
The main food supply in the Northland region comes from imports from the Western Desert region.
And this gray-black city, which is still smoking in the winter snow due to the waste heat of metal smelting and industrial industries, is the headquarters of the polar industry.
It originally had no name, but the industrial base was built here. Later, as the scale became larger and larger, more and more people worked in it, forming the appearance of an industrial city, and it was named [Jibo Industrial City].
At this moment, in an office with a rather luxurious interior decoration at the top of the Industrial City, Jerome Pierre was thinking about something with a gloomy face.
He is the current CEO of Polar Industries and can be regarded as the biggest boss in the Northland region.
Logically speaking, there are very few things that bother him so much now.
But recently, worrying things have come one after another.
The latest news is that an unknown but sizable army has appeared on the highway in the North-Central Province and is heading north.
To be honest, he has never been in a good mood since the alliance was established.
Polar Industries has relatively close cooperation with the original Angry Owl Sect. Although he doesn't like those crazy people very much, there is no need to go too far if he can spend money to appease them. What's more, that cult group has been developing in the Northland for longer than them, and even established a relatively widespread belief. Especially a large number of low-level workers believe in this cult and believe that if they believe in the original Raging Owl, they can go to a future where the Raging Owl is as prosperous as the past after death.
If they fall out with the Original Angry Owl Sect, firstly, they will not have enough power to wipe out the entire sect; secondly, their industry will be unstable; thirdly, it will be difficult for them to deal with retaliation.
It's better to give some money, make a 'donation', maintain a good relationship, and spend money to keep yourself safe.
After the relationship was good, they found that they could leave some fucked up and dirty things to the sect, which would be more interesting.
But after the alliance was established, their good times became a little less easy.
On the one hand, the industrial capabilities of the new alliance have soared inexplicably. In the past, the Fuxing City they thought was just a business center and a hub for top-tier cities. They imported a lot of agricultural products from it, and also sold the industrial products they produced through Fuxing City in exchange for raw materials and production supplies...
And now, a year and a half later, according to the latest information, the industrial city called Wei Xing City that was built not far from Fuxing City already has over two million people gathered there. The industrial population has increased, and the output has even exceeded that of the Polar Industrial City. Moreover, they can also produce many things that they consider to be high-end and sophisticated.
There are three “good things” that the polar industry can produce most: Challenger tanks, helicopters, and fixed-wing jets.
In fact, their production capacity of these three items is not very high. They have sold some at very expensive prices before and earned relatively excessive profits.
On Raging Owl, generally speaking, whichever force can take out a Challenger and drive it out will almost have an absolute advantage in a regional conflict.
But now... that's far from it.
The army of the New Alliance is equipped with Wind Falcons, Ramblers armored vehicles, and Lion tanks...
Isn’t this much better than the stuff they made from Polar Industries?
And the Alliance doesn’t want the ‘guns and cannons’ they made. They have better products, and the cost may be even cheaper than theirs.
The sales of arms, which are the most profitable, have dropped sharply - especially after the eastern provinces were also recovered by the alliance, there will be no customers.
Fortunately, the trade with the Western Desert was not greatly affected.
The Alliance has considerable restrictions on the export of arms and does not sell much. If the oasis lords in the Western Desert want to strengthen their weapons, their polar industry is still a good choice.
Although it is very painful to compete with Blackbird Heavy Industries in the west...
And the group of people calling themselves the Battle Sisters came to the Northland, which also gave him a big headache.
They often fought against those cultists under his property. As a result, many settlements that were originally heavily influenced by the polar industry were brought under the jurisdiction of the alliance's so-called North Central Province.
However, they didn't dare to get angry.
Why, do you still dare to take action against the alliance?
On the contrary, what Pierre, the president of Polar Regions, was most worried about all day long was whether the Alliance would suddenly want to regain the northern territory.
If that's the case...
To be honest, there's not much we can do.
Pierre could clearly understand that he would definitely not be able to defeat him.
From production capacity to existing military strength to war potential... no one in the North has an advantage.
And there are no allies.
Moreover, there is no chance of being careless - they are also nominally members of the alliance.
There is some hope, and that is to take advantage of the current hostile relationship between the Alliance and the original Angry Owl sect, and rely more on the cult's popular base in the North to engage in a people's war with the Alliance.
But...
Why bother?
Instead of making such a strategy with a low success rate and huge cost, it would be better to invest in the alliance and defeat them.
As soon as I think of the couplet, the sky and the earth are widened in an instant!
In fact, he also has this opportunity.
The Battle Sisters contacted him more than a month ago, and they probably asked him to help, provide clues to the original Angry Owl Sect, and even help them track down the cultists.
The good thing is that this group of battle nuns still have a lot of respect in the alliance, and it is better to contact the follow-up matter of the Polar Industrial Group's "return" to the embrace of the alliance.
He has been relatively close to the nuns recently.
But I decided to vote. Why did the Alliance suddenly dispatch an army to go north?
