Chapter 347, mission accomplished!
Gu Hang patted his mother's hand gently, signaling her to be at ease, and then turned his attention to the other people in the meeting.
No one spoke.
After people got over the initial shock of hearing his declaration, they instinctively began to think about the pros and cons of this matter.
What does this kid from Gu want to do?
No one could figure out what he was thinking.
Ivan Fachs kept his mouth tightly shut.
He didn't dare speak.
When he said that he would release Governor Koroja, it was 70% sincere and 30% angry. He knew that the parliamentary faction would not let him escape anyway, and it was clear that he was going to bear the blame, so it didn't matter what he said.
He really wanted to let go and didn't want to take the blame. The Fats family, with the support of three worlds, could no longer hold on, and the huge hole of Koroja could never be filled.
If Koroja were to die in his hands, the entire Fats family would be in trouble.
I used to think that Koroja was a big piece of fat meat, and it finally fell into my hands; now I realize that I jumped into a big shit pit and can’t climb out.
However, when someone really came forward to take over the job, he hesitated again.
He instinctively thought of one thing: Could it be that this kid from the Gu family has a way to solve the Korojia problem?
At this moment, he suddenly heard Chief Martinelli speak: "Governor Gu, don't make the mistake. Fachers' responsibility must be borne by Fachers himself! Do you understand what you are doing?!"
The head of the star region seemed to have some misunderstandings. He might think that Gu Hang had received some benefits from the Fats family, so he came out to take the blame.
But Ivan Fachs himself knew that this was not the case.
He was even more confused.
"Governor Gu, do you have a solution?" He asked cautiously, "Why don't you tell me in detail?"
Gu Hang ignored this question and just smiled and looked at the person who could really make the decision.
Special Envoy Neil Laois looked hesitant.
She responded to Gu Hang's gaze with a hint of inquiry.
She also wanted to know if Gu Hang had any solution.
But Gu Hang no longer talked about this matter.
He regained the rhythm of the conversation:
"Since the disaster on Koroja began, we have seen too many ugly performances. The incompetence of the former Governor Akuna has led to the continued chaos on Koroja, causing 40 billion imperial subjects to live in hardship. The incompetent planetary government can neither bear the burden of planetary development nor imperial taxes, nor can it lead to the breeding and spread of the plague cult."
"The ongoing struggle between the current governor and the sector government has long disgusted countless people. You never want to solve the real problem, but instead use the disaster of the imperial people as a tool to attack opponents and seek personal gain. The past four years were originally the golden time to solve the problem, but you were completely wasted by your dirty deeds, so that the situation has deteriorated to the current point."
"You are unworthy of the trust of the empire and the trust of 40 billion people. You should all apologize!"
Gu Hang's words were a direct attack, insulting Fachs and the parliamentary faction.
People on both sides looked unhappy, and no one would be happy to be scolded.
But more people showed relieved expressions.
The die-hards on both sides are a minority after all. The neutrals have long been disgusted with all this, and even quite a few people who have to choose sides due to conflicts of interest have a similar attitude.
Seeing that the situation was not good, some people on both sides of the fight wanted to interrupt Gu Hang and yell back.
But he was stopped by Lao Yisi.
"Let Governor Gu continue."
Gu Hang's words touched Lao Yisi's heart. In the eyes of the Star Region Government, wasn't the situation in the Tianma Star Region exactly the same as what Gu Hang said?
However, Lao Yisi did not make it so clear in the previous quarrel. After all, in her opinion, no matter how disgusted the two parties were, the problem of Koroja still had to be solved by them.
Swearing and yelling will not solve the problem. No matter how upset or disgusted she feels, she has to appease both parties.
But this doesn't prevent her from enjoying it when someone is criticizing or spitting nonsense here.
At this moment, there was expectation in Lao Yisi's eyes as he looked at Gu Hang.
Come on, spray a few more words!
At least it will give those two parties a severe blow!
But Gu Hang changed the subject and fired even more fiercely:
"So, I propose here that since Ivan Fachs wants to resign, please approve it, Madam Special Envoy."
The words didn't sound as harsh as the ones he had just used to criticize someone, but they were real actions that would force Fats to resign.
If it was before, Lao Yisi would not agree.
With Fachs replaced, there was no other choice.
But now the situation is slightly different.
Gu Hang said earlier that he was willing to be the governor.
This relieved Lao Yisi's worries.
Anyway, if we insist on letting Ivan Fachs continue to work, he won't be able to solve the problem, so there's nothing wrong with him withdrawing.
More importantly, Gu Hang had already set the atmosphere to this point.
Laois turned his gaze to Ivan Fachers.
The latter wanted to struggle a little, but in the end, he backed down.
It would be better to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible. This was originally the planned strategy of the Fats family.
He agreed to resign, and then said sourly and secretly: "I want to see what good ideas Governor Gu has!"
Gu Hang smiled: "What good ideas do I have? Of course I have one."
"Koroja should be completely transformed into a war zone. The Governor of Koroja should be the commander of the war zone. A united front and command centered on Koroja should be established. The Imperial Navy and the Imperial Astra Militarum should temporarily fight together under a unified command to eliminate the evil cult disaster on Koroja."
"In the next three months, I will mobilize my army and do my best to arm Mingyan City. I will unite the Star Army and the Imperial Navy, summon the Phoenix Regiment that has signed a loyalty cooperation agreement with the Alliance, and do my best to fight a battle to defend Mingyan City."
"I will be victorious, and the Emperor will protect me!"
"After victory, Koroja will remain a war zone for six years, or three tax quarters. Part of the Pegasus Fleet, the Dragon Eagle Legion's 3rd Army Group, should continue to fight around Koroja and follow the command of the war zone commander. The star zone government and star region government should provide necessary material support."
"And I will establish a complete and efficient administrative system, eliminate the inefficiency and corruption that the Koroja government has been suffering for countless years, better mobilize the potential of the entire planet, and completely solve the plague cult problem within six years. By then, the star district government and star region government will see a complete, brand new Koroja with ample development potential."
Gu Hang's words were quite passionate.
Moreover, it is not necessarily all empty talk or falsehood.
He set an example on the Wrathful Owl and the Black Arrow. In fact, many people in the star region have already shown considerable interest in the new "alliance" and have begun to study the system of the alliance.
Of course, even if you study it, it doesn't necessarily mean you will succeed.
The highly centralized and planned economic system of the Alliance is nothing new, but it is basically impossible to replicate it on other planets.
The Alliance was able to do this because it had completely destroyed the original system on two planets and then rebuilt it in the ruins and blank space. Where else could such conditions exist?
Not to mention, those in power on other planets are themselves the biggest beneficiaries under the existing system.
Revolutionize yourself?
Impossible.
However, if Koroja is handed over to the Alliance, then in such a chaotic war environment and with everything to be rebuilt after the war, Gu Hang might actually be able to build something up.
Even though it's difficult.
However, all of this is based on the premise of resolving the major crisis of 'Fino City'.
We can't deal with this thing. It's moving at a speed of thirty kilometers a day. It will take more than three months to swallow up Mingyan City, and then the next target will be... The entire planet can't withstand it swallowing like this.
What solution did Gu Hang mention in these words?
The decisive battle was to be fought outside Mingyan City.
What are the means to victory?
It was the support of the Space Marines, the power of the assembled planets, and the Alliance's promise to send troops directly to help...
Many people don't really care about the last two statements. If people think that the power of this planet itself is enough to solve the crisis, then no one would be so pessimistic and hopeless about this matter. As for the Alliance's army, the performance of the Angry Bear Legion does prove that the Alliance's troops are quite capable, but they are only at the level of the Star Army - at best a little better. But the key is that this so-called alliance is only two planets with a total population of 500 million. How much can they gather? This is a matter of size!
But the first point that Gu Hang mentioned, that is, the matter of the Space Marines, caused some commotion.
As soon as the Phoenix landed on the Angry Owl Star, it attracted the attention of some people.
But at that time, people's attention was still on the political impact brought by this chapter. Their identity was quite special. They were a chapter that had been convicted and sentenced as traitors in the Bauhinia Rebellion. However, in the end, this chapter did not resist at all, gave up its arms and surrendered. After reviewing their past experiences and communications, the Empire believed that they were deceived and coerced, so they gave them one last chance - the Expedition of Atonement.
And the phoenix gladly accepted it.
That was a hundred years ago, and no one thought the Phoenix would come back.
But they really came back and came to the Pegasus region.
This made the great rebellion that happened a hundred years ago, which was just a distant melon in the eyes of the Tianma star region, become a reality.
A lot can change in a hundred years, but not for Space Marines. In the Bauhinia Rebellion, a large-scale civil war involving more than a dozen Space Marine chapters, the Phoenix Chapter was the only "traitor" to survive. In addition, during the civil war, many of the six loyal chapters suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Phoenix, and I am afraid that some hatred will remain.
What's worse is that the Inquisition insisted on executing all the Phoenixes at the beginning, and traitors should not be forgiven. However, the Phoenix's parent group, the Phoenix Regiment, played a big role, united many Phoenix-related sub-groups, and pleaded for mercy. In addition, the Phoenixes were indeed bewitched, and they gave up their weapons and surrendered themselves, which resulted in this result.
But the Inquisition still hates what it should, and so do those chapters that became enemies during the civil war.
The people in the Pegasus star region are most worried about the arrival of the Phoenix. They are afraid that this troublesome war group will bring trouble to Pegasus.
As for the combat power of the Phoenix itself?
There are only seven veterans alive, what does that mean?
But no one expected that just eight years later, the Phoenix would already be showing signs of recovery.
Although people don't know to what extent the Phoenix has recovered, their combat performance on Black Arrow Star has become intelligence, landed on the desks of many people, and been read repeatedly.
Although I don't know how this young man from the Gu family made a group of Space Marines obey his orders and fight for him, I don't know how the size of the Wrathful Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star can support the revival of a Space Marine Chapter. But from now on, if the Phoenix is in good condition after the revival, then letting Gu Hang take over is really the most likely solution to the problem.
At this point, except for a small number of people who are obsessed with political infighting, the rest of the people have had to make solving the Koroja problem their top priority in the face of reality.
"I support Governor Gu serving concurrently as Governor of Koroja."
"I support Koroja being under the jurisdiction of the Alliance."
"I appeal."
…
Listening to these voices, Chief Ivan Martinelli fell silent.
Special Envoy Laois stood up.
"I understand. As the special envoy sent by the Star Region Government to the Pegasus Sector with full responsibility for the Koroja Campaign, I have approved the resignation of Ivan Fachs, the Governor of Koroja 3, and appointed Gu Hang as the Acting Planetary Governor of Koroja 3."
"I authorize the establishment of the Korojia War Zone and appoint Gu Hang as the commander of the war zone to coordinate and manage the war in the Korojia galaxy. The remaining part of the Pegasus Fleet and the 3rd Army Group of the Dragon Eagle Legion should fully obey the unified command of the commander of the war zone."
"The war zone of Koroja will last for six years. The star region government will do its best to provide supplies and manpower. The first batch of military aid will arrive in two months."
At this point, Neil Laois looked deeply at Gu Hang:
"The first strategic goal of the Koroja War Zone is to ensure that Mingyan City will not be lost; the second goal is to destroy the creeping hive city of Fino; the third goal is to solve the plague cult problem on Koroja 3 within six years and restore the payment of imperial taxes."
"Governor Gu, I hope you won't let me down. The 40 billion people on Koroja, the Pegasus District Government, and the Dragon Eagle District Government are all watching your performance."
Gu Hang solemnly performed the Sky Eagle Salute: "I swear to the Emperor that I will not fail in my mission!"

It was a bit of a struggle writing this, I'll try to make up for the chapter I owed yesterday.
