Chapter 525, ‘Ronglin’ and ‘Steel Wing’
Jason Morgan, as the Alliance-appointed Sector Administrator, is different from the regular leader of the Empire who is similar to a paper framer and has no actual power.
Under the alliance system, it is more emphasized that each level of government should play its role as a government. Moreover, the Alliance's Planetary Governor is not like the regular Imperial Planetary Governor, who has full authority over the planet. The Alliance's government and military are separate. The construction of the army is the responsibility of the military and administrative departments under the management of Thaddeus. Even the Planetary Defense Force - which the Alliance calls the Entente Forces - is the responsibility of the Military and Administrative Department on each planet. Subordinate departments are responsible for construction and training.
The command of the army is all under the general command system of the Alliance Army. The planetary garrison system operates under the command of the commanders of the various front armies of the Alliance, and the main force among the various front armies is the Alliance Army system.
The power of the Planetary Governor is almost insulated from the military. He neither participates in military construction nor military command. He is a pure administrative official.
Moreover, there is a clear superior-subordinate relationship with the sector manager, and work reports need to be made to the sector manager. Although the sector general manager cannot directly remove the planetary general manager, the quality of the latter's work will be greatly affected by his evaluation, and he will be held accountable for making mistakes.
As the district manager, he can also intervene in the management of each planet more directly and smoothly, and allocate the resources of each planet so that all worlds in the district can develop in a coordinated manner.
This can only happen if the alliance brings clear upward centralization changes.
Of course, sector managers like Jason Morgan are also insulated from the military.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't need military support.
There are bad people among the masses.
This is the person tied to the chair in front of me.
This was one of the former ruling classes on Ronglin Planet.
To be honest, Jason Morgan doesn't like these people at all.
Their performance was not good during the Iron Teeth War. They basically did not form any resistance. They just ran away with their people and hid all over the planet.
That's all. You can't force every planet to have a fierce man descend from the sky, who can lead survivors to fight against the greenskins, and still make some noise. The more survivors can be organized and retain more vitality under the threat of green skins, the mission has been completed.
However, the ruling class on Ronglin Planet and many other planets of the Steel Fire Dragon were still exploiting and squeezing them during that difficult and critical moment, and they were even still living a quite luxurious life.
After being liberated by the Mingyang Sect, they still controlled the planet and actively moved closer. The Mechanicus is too lazy to directly take care of these matters, and these local forces are willing to be dogs. Isn't that great?
But to be a dog is also to be a Mechanic. In order to rebuild itself, the Mechanicus sucked blood ferociously. In addition to being accomplices, these people also took this opportunity to continue sucking blood.
In the short period between the end of the Iron Teeth War and the arrival of Jason Morgan four years ago, one 'rebellion' after another broke out on the Steel Fire Dragon planets, especially on Ronglin. Riot', which will of course be very harmful to the society on the planet.
However, from Morgan's own point of view, he actually prefers to regard those things as an 'uprising'.
If I can’t live any longer, why don’t I fight with you?
After Jason Morgan takes power, of course he will change these issues.
On the one hand, they look down upon these original ruling classes; on the other hand, the ruling methods of this group of people are too crude and rubbish. Morgan needs the planet to develop, so he must liberate the productive forces on the local planet. He cannot use such a backward production method to allow these original ruling classes to exploit and squeeze them like slaves.
It’s not just that these people, as the middle class, have taken away too much profits. If that's the case, Morgan can bear it. What he couldn't bear was that for this kind of inefficient plunder, the productivity of the entire society was greatly suppressed.
Under his four years of continuous attacks, with the support of the alliance's navy and army, these original rulers were severely hit.
This is a bunch of weaklings who can kneel to the Mingyang Sect, and of course they can kneel to a more powerful alliance.
However, the difference is that the Mechanicus ignores them and even indulges them; the Alliance strictly controls them and takes away power and benefits from their hands.
They dare not confront these "kneeling tribesmen" head-on. They keep causing trouble and causing trouble in private. Even in the early days of Morgan's rise to power, when he had to rely more on the original administrative power of each planet, this group of people not only followed the rules but also liked to do...according to the words of the Governor, 'carry the red flag and fight against the red flag'.
Some of the policies issued by Morgan did not dare to be openly opposed, so they doubled down several times and implemented them in extreme directions, causing outrage and resentment.
Jason Morgan is really fed up with these guys.
Within the framework of the rules, Morgan was tired of fighting with these people for four years.
Without the drag of this group of people, Morgan is confident that the development of Steel Fire Dragon's planets will be tripled.
I have endured it until today, and finally I don’t need to endure it anymore.
After greatly weakening the dominance of these original groups within the political framework, now he can finally ruthlessly eliminate them physically.
They don't even bother to go through the process to avoid any recurrence. They secretly arrest, secretly try and eliminate them. Although it is not very aboveboard, the necessary means are used when necessary.
Only by digging out the cancer early can we develop better in the future.
He walked around the prison and looked around. He saw that more than 200 people had been arrested basically according to the list he had given.
They all kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word.
After making sure the list was complete, he walked out of the prison.
At the door, he nodded slightly with the leader of the secret police dispatched to confirm the results of his work.
The other party handed over a document.
Morgan signed and pressed the button he sent.
This button, which leads to each cell below, can switch the ventilation duct gate inside the cell.
Deadly poison gas is sent into each cell, and in just a few minutes, all detainees will lose their lives silently.
These two hundred or so people, in the past and even now in Ronglin Star, were all people who could move the wind and rain if they were released. Slave owners, monopoly business owners, union presidents, feudal lords...all kinds of identities together constitute their ruling color.
But now, as Morgan pressed the button, these colors all turned into gray and black.
If we continue to use political means to fight slowly, we don't know how long it will take to finish them all off.
Let's cut through the mess quickly.
In fact, it should have been done long ago.
It's just that Morgan's control was not enough before.
On the one hand, it is barely enough now. On the other hand, the external political environment has also undergone significant changes. While thinking, Morgan heard footsteps again.
"Has everything been taken care of?" the visitor asked.
"Yeah."
"Let's go then, the biggest business of today has not been done yet."
"Yeah, let's go!"
Morgan put his arm around the visitor's shoulders, chatted with him in a low voice, and left.
This is his partner, the planetary director of Ronglin Planet, Todd Paulson.
After they walked out of the prison, they boarded the floating car that had been waiting outside. After several hours of high-speed flight, they arrived at the ground star port of Ronglin Star. They then transferred to the space elevator, went straight to the star port, and changed The floating car parked at the star port...
It was indeed not easy to mess with the last star port.
But they still have to come.
They need to be here, waiting for a senior official from Alliance Headquarters.
General Political Commissar of the Alliance Military and Political Department, Senior General Thaddeus.
Compared to Jason Morgan, who came to a place as tough as Steel Fire Dragon, but where he could make achievements, to work hard and win a seat on the Central Committee for himself, Thaddeus was an out-and-out big shot.
Except for Gu Hang, the alliance leader, among the remaining alliance leaders, Thaddeus' identity is extremely important.
Even if he is not the number one in the alliance military, he is at least a strong contender.
Although he has not directly led the alliance's army, the Military and Administrative Department has responsibilities similar to those of the Imperial Military Affairs Department to a certain extent. Focusing on military construction, which is broken down into logistics equipment, recruitment training, military ideological construction, officer promotion approval...
All these military government affairs will eventually fall to the Military and Administrative Department under the control of Thaddeus.
And, if you really want to say it, Thaddeus' direct influence on the army is also very strong.
Although, ordinary officers and commanders have little to do with him. However, in the alliance army, the political commissar system, which plays a very important role, is under his leadership.
Although the main job of the military and political commissars is to be responsible for the ideological construction of each unit and does not involve command authority, within a single unit, the priority of taking over the command authority must be behind the deputy and chief of staff. However, the special thing about the political commissar is that he has the power to take over the entire army in an emergency, regardless of any priority. When they believed that military commanders were betraying, deserting, or afraid of war, they could even execute them.
Although this rarely happens, military commanders and political commanders generally make good partners in the army. And if this situation really happens, the corresponding political commissar will also be subject to strict scrutiny afterwards.
But this kind of super-standard power exists after all, and no one can ignore his status as the dual chiefs of the military unit.
This is true for a single political commissar, let alone Thaddeus himself as the general political commissar of the entire army. His power is not even limited to military branches. Now the position of political commissar also exists in the Alliance Navy.
For example, the generals in the alliance navy, whether they are battleship captains or fleet commanders, or commander-in-chief like Yan Fangxu in the army, although they are in different sequences and have similar ranks, their status may be similar. But his influence is naturally not as great as that of Thaddeus, who has broader powers.
Such a person, a little Rong Lin, how could he be worthy enough to pay attention to him?
In fact, there are still some.
First, Ronglin Star is located on the key east and north routes of the Steel Fire Dragon Star District.
The second is that Jason Morgan has overcome all difficulties in the past four years, mobilized all aspects of his own, his wife's, and his sister-in-law's relationships, and begged grandpa and grandma to get the resources to create a Ronglin star. port.
Every time he comes to Ronglin Star Port, Morgan always feels a surge of pride in his heart.
This is his achievement.
To put it bluntly, Ronglin Star Port is actually not too big in scale, and cannot be compared with star ports in the core worlds of the alliance such as Wing Star, Yunluo Star, and Angry Owl Star.
It is roughly the second-tier star port in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, and even the second-tier star port is weak.
But compared with the development level of Ronglin Star itself, the specifications of this star port greatly exceed the demand.
With a relatively weak economic foundation, why did Jason Morgan want to sell everything and expand the star port to this point? Wouldn’t it be better to invest resources in other economic development paths?
The reason lies in the first point.
Since it has the advantage of a transportation hub, Morgan can also predict that there will be more and more business interactions between Jindi Star and the Alliance in the future, and many worlds that were originally controlled by the Mingyang Sect will be controlled by the Alliance again... In this way , goods shipped from Jindi Star and goods shipped from the Alliance, if there can be a distribution center, the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.
This is what he seeks.
And recently, with the completion of the large star port, what he planned has finally begun to have some results.
He personally flew to Jindi Star once and found the sage Wu Jiarong. Although he was not familiar with it, he shamelessly requested one thing: the transport ships of the Mingyang Sect no longer need to deliver goods directly to every destination, but only need to transport them to the nearby Ronglin Star. Ronglinxing contacted several chambers of commerce, and they were even trying to build their own caravans to be responsible for distribution to other planets.
Similarly, the goods that have been negotiated by the chamber of commerce and are expected to be delivered by Jin Dixing can also be unloaded at Ronglin.
As a distribution center, Ronglin Star can earn a lot of profits here. The consumption of self-built chambers of commerce, starship maintenance, and personnel rest and recuperation... are all money, and they can all drive local economic development.
At present, such a set of things has taken a prototype.
But Morgan felt it wasn't enough, and he thought he could speed up a little more.
As a result, he secured a good publicity opportunity.
General Thaddeus hasn't arrived yet, but what he values most this time has already arrived.
Jason Morgan and Planet Manager Paulson were in the star port together, admiring the two behemoths parked in Ronglin Port:
‘Steel Wing’ and ‘Ronglin’!
These are the two 'Dragon Snake-class' battlecruisers built from Jindi Star and delivered to the Alliance!
They were also transported like some goods and raw materials. The people from the Mechanicus first drove to Ronglin Star Port to free up their shipyard. Subsequently, the Mingyang Sect's crew members withdrew, leaving only some necessary technical personnel, who would be delivered to the Alliance along with the ship.
The delivery location is Ronglin Star. Thaddeus came to Ronglin Planet on this trip, of course, as the top leader of the alliance's arms management department, to carry out the delivery of these two battlecruisers with the Mingyang Sect.
