Chapter 370, Fundamental Solution
While processing the documents at hand, Gu Hang listened to Lieutenant General Hans's incessant complaints on the external call.
"Commander Gu, are you listening to me?"
"Of course I'm listening." Gu Hang responded, indicating that he was still there.
"But I feel like you don't take my question to heart at all. I need troops, more troops! The size of the Savior Army must at least double, otherwise we won't be able to continue to guarantee control of the base area! My team is too scattered, and I can't take care of so many people. Once attacked, there will be losses..."
Hans started again.
Ever since he entered Mingyan City a month ago and led his troops into an endless security battle, he has called Gu Hang many times, asking for additional troops.
Gu Hang could totally understand.
The Star Army and the Salvation Army, 40 million people, seem a lot, but in comparison, there are 4 billion people in Mingyan City. The chaos in the base area requires a large number of troops to guard almost every block in order to maintain military control.
The strict military control strategy caused the troops to be seriously dispersed. Often, a regiment was stationed in a neighborhood with more than 100,000 people. If they faced a direct attack from the enemy, it would not be a big problem. They could not gather so many guns and artillery and had no resistance to the army.
The most difficult thing is that soldiers on guard duty, patrolling, or doing business are prone to being shot from behind a corner. Military vehicles may run into roadside bombs after driving a few steps.
Neither the gangs nor the rebels want to give up control of the territories they control.
No wonder Hans was complaining.
They have lost thousands of lives in the past month.
This number is indeed completely different from the tragic level of the previous decisive battle, where an entire division was wiped out in just a few hours, but the human cost is still not small.
The Savior Army is in a better situation, but Hans's own troops already have a lot of grievances.
After the big battle, they wanted to go home, but they were sent to fight in the security war. There were no casualties, but the key point was that they were nervous about everything they did, which was very exhausting.
Many people have already said that instead of doing this, it would be better to let go and fight a good battle.
Hans wanted to increase the number of troops, not because he couldn't control the situation, but because he wanted to give his troops a chance to rest and adjust.
Gu Hang knew all these things.
However, he still rejected Hans' request again and again.
Military control is only a temporary measure.
If solving the problem of public security warfare requires long-term military intervention, then there is no point in doing this. No matter how many more troops are deployed, it will be meaningless and will not solve the fundamental problem. Can military control be implemented for a few months, a few years, or a lifetime?
Gu Hang had already thought of the real way to solve the problem.
After sending away the complaining Lieutenant General Hans, it was time for Gu Hang to meet with the person who could actually solve the problem.
This is a large group of people.
Among them were senior alliance officials from the Angry Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star, as well as people who had performed well in Mingyan City in recent months and appeared on Lambert’s list—the blue list.
Among them were people from the Union Ministry of Foreign Affairs who were responsible for external communication, exchanges, recruitment and negotiations, led by Niko LS Lihovic.
He will travel all over the Lower Nest Area and the Bottom Nest Area, and negotiate with some forces that are still worth a try, trying to disband them peacefully or accept them into Koroja's new government.
Among those who are worth saving, there are more rebels.
The rebels in the hive usually call themselves "resistance forces". Some of them are radical and no longer recognize the rule of the Empire or the Koroja government. The more rebellious ones even deny their faith in the Emperor. Some are more conservative and are just fighting to promote negotiations and strive for more practical benefits for their own forces and the people on their territory.
The reasons for the emergence of these rebels, or resistance forces, no matter how dirty or noble they are, are essentially just one thing: life is unbearable, so let's rebel!
But in Gu Hang's opinion, this can be achieved through amnesty.
Now, these rebels have been beaten, and many of them can no longer carry out public activities. Now is the time for Salihović to take action. If they can be negotiated, recruited, and absorbed into the planetary government system, then they will be absorbed directly, and then martial law will be gradually lifted to see how things develop.
Gangs, regional monopoly alliances, cults... these problems may be more complicated than the rebels. Their demands are more complex and their appetites are bigger. Especially for cults, there is basically no basis for negotiation.
But no matter what the target is, what Salihovic and his team, who were drawn from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, have to do is to formulate different plans based on the characteristics and demands of different forces. Those who can be recruited will be recruited, and those who cannot be recruited will be resolutely destroyed.
Salihovic's work is important, but not the most important.
Whether the negotiations are successful and the people are recruited, or if the negotiations fail and the system is rebuilt after a devastating blow, a second wave of people will be needed.
Ms. Ossena, the Prime Minister of the Union, has arrived in Koroja.
A month ago, Koroja, under the leadership of Governor Gu Hang, had officially joined the planetary organization "Alliance". Of course, the Prime Minister of the Alliance had to come to this place that suddenly appeared and had a population eighty times larger than the original Alliance.
But what can she do alone?
Although she had transferred a lot of people from the government system of the alliance in the binary stars, it was still a drop in the bucket, let alone for Koroja, even for Mingyan City with a population of four billion.
No matter how reliable and developed the alliance's civil service system is, it cannot withstand a situation where the scale of management suddenly expands dozens of times.
The management of Koroja ultimately depends on the local people of Koroja.
To this end, after the war, Gu Hang established five loyal colleges and five comprehensive colleges in Mingyan City.
The cost of the academy was not high. Just find a building on the spot and transfer some instructors and lecturers from the Angry Owl Star. The cost of a gift point was only one thousand points, which was just a drop in the bucket for Gu Hang, who had a million gift points.
However, personnel training is a big problem.
The number of administrative bureaucrats and civil servants in Yancheng was nearly two million, which seemed like a huge number, but in fact it was not enough.
According to Gu Hang's plan, the number of civil servants is to be expanded to at least 0.3% of the total population - which means 12 million civil servants.
Even in a hive city, where the population density is extremely high, the number of civil servants required can be greatly reduced, but it still needs to reach at least seven or eight million people to ensure control over the entire hive city, as Gu Hang wishes.
No matter what, the current two million administrative staff are definitely not enough. Not to mention, there are still many scum among these two million people.
This is Ossena's job. She has to recruit many administrative personnel to implement the alliance's administrative system.
Of course, it would not take a few months to complete. Recruiting and training millions of reliable administrative personnel is not something that can be done overnight. Even the current rank system implemented by the Alliance in Binary Star cannot be copied all at once - it is too expensive.
However, some emergency measures can be used first.
First and foremost, it is not a question of administrative personnel’s ability, but a question of loyalty.
Gu Hang spent a full 400,000 points of grace for this.
Forty thousand administrative personnel were trained in five Zhongsi Colleges at a price of ten yuan per person and within a week. Over the past few months,
This is an emergency measure.
In the future, it is impossible for every one of the millions of civil servants needed by Mingyan City to undergo [Soldier Card] training and be endowed with serious, political commissar-like loyalty.
Moreover, training to become a political commissar can only ensure loyalty but not job ability.
But in case of emergency, it is okay.
Ossena's current task is to form 40,000 working groups with these 40,000 administrative staff as the core. These trained people will be the core of the working groups, and there will be more than 20 people in the groups to assist and supervise them.
And these people will go down to all negotiated, incorporated, or cleared areas to do their work.
Registering the population of the block, publicizing the alliance's policies, distributing basic rations, organizing labor production, organizing commercial circulation... these are their main tasks.
The most important thing, of course, is to organize labor production.
No matter how well Gu Hang's alliance has developed over the years, it can never support Koroja. There are too many people on this planet, and they will eventually need to rely on themselves to support themselves.
These so-called labor production and commercial circulation mainly depend on what is originally done in these blocks. But to be honest, there are not many places with decent industries in the bottom nest area and the lower nest area.
But it doesn't matter, if there is, then nationalize it and continue to operate. Guarantee the workers' treatment and corporate efficiency, and distribute the profits to the workers according to the alliance's rank policy, and turn in the rest.
Where there is none, that is another line of work led by Ossena: industrial transfer.
In the past few months, starships have come from the Wrathful Owl one after another. Many industries that were considered suitable for development in Korojia during preliminary research, and there is excess production capacity on the Wrathful Owl, will be demolished and relocated a large number of industrial lines.
For this reason, the Angry Owl Star has been busy recently. Many production lines that were previously sealed in Wu Jiarong's research institute and pulled out of the mother machine black box, but could not be put into production due to problems with raw materials, the number of workers, and the industrial structure, were all sent to the transport ship of Gu's Trading Company and transported to Korojialai.
The most typical example is some low-end military industries. Rifles, bullets, towed artillery, shells, bulletproof plates... These industries with relatively low technical content are just right to be placed in the managed blocks in Mingyan City.
In addition, there is another particularly important industry, that is, the synthetic starch production line and the corresponding organic waste recycling.
I won’t elaborate on what organic fertilizer is specifically as it is difficult to accept.
Although the mechanization reform of farms in the Qinggu region of Wrathful Owl and Black Arrow in recent years has brought bumper harvests to these two planets, and the food reserves are sufficient, on the one hand, the food shipped in must be used sparingly, and it is not realistic to rely entirely on external transportation; on the other hand, the Alliance cannot put all the food into Koroja, and strategic reserves are still needed.
In the environment of the Mingyancheng Dizu area, it is impossible to feed so many people by using synthetic starch on a large scale.
Having said that, no matter what the raw materials are, the synthetic starch produced is all the same.
There were actually many blocks with no industrial development, so the alliance also sent some industries that could barely be considered mid-range.
The two automobile industries of Tieniu and Ranger; engineering machine manufacturing; the production line of Walker armored vehicles; the collection, processing and smelting of metal waste...
These industrial lines require a relatively large number of workers, and often a large heavy factory is built all at once, which can absorb workers from multiple blocks.
This is not just to support the construction of Mingyan City. For large industries, moving to places with denser populations and lower costs is also beneficial in itself, which can significantly reduce costs and significantly improve the progress of production expansion.
To be honest, after the on-site working group conducted research, they found that there was nothing good to develop in the area and they could not apply for a production line supported by the alliance. But there were other ways.
On the one hand, being able to work across neighborhoods is one thing, but if one person from each household goes into a large factory and gets a job, that's enough to barely support the family and not starve to death.
What's more, it is not necessary for everyone to work in factories. The rest of the people can work in canteens, clothing, catering, transport teams, construction workers, and other derivative service industries.
If there is no other solution, the remaining population of the entire neighborhood will be relocated.
Of course, this also requires screening.
It's no problem, just migrate to Angry Owl Star and Black Arrow Star. There are still a lot of population vacancies on these two planets.
In Gu Hang's opinion, although the Hive City is a special city built specifically to accommodate high-density people, the density is too high. Koroja's environment has long been unable to bear it. Large-scale migration of Koroja's population to other planets of the Alliance will be a long-term policy in the future.
However, not everyone can migrate to the binary stars.
For example, some neighborhoods are places where cult activities are particularly serious. After a serious cleanup, the remaining people who have not been too poisoned but have indeed believed in cults in the past will be sent to an immigration base - this is a huge facility in Mingyan City that is used to temporarily accommodate people when paying imperial taxes.
These people will be used to pay taxes when the Imperial Tax Fleet visits next time - although Korojia does not have to pay taxes now, he can still pay and exchange them for tax coins.
…
These are Gu Hang’s fundamental solutions to end the security war: economic development.
The people are full and have a future, but they are so full that they want to use their flesh and blood to fight against the guns of the Star Army and the Savior Army?
