Chapter 134: Loyalty is the first priority
There was still some time before meeting Denison Henry, so Gu Hang did another thing first.
A full standard Terra month has passed since the last fixed income was paid out.
The system is going to pay wages again.
The last time he received his salary, he only controlled two camps that could not even be called Weixing City. He relied on constantly fleecing the sheep from Fuxing City and worked hard to reduce the population to just under 10,000 before the monthly settlement. His monthly fixed income reached a little over 500.
In contrast, he now controls a population of one million.
After he got Renaissance City, due to various debuffs on the city, the fixed income provided to him by the city with a population of one million was reduced to only about sixty points.
When he first saw it, Gu Hang was almost stunned, and was very dissatisfied with the current situation. But when he thought about it carefully, those debuffs were not imposed by him, but he had just taken over the city, and there were so many problems.
In the past half month, he instructed Ossena and Lambert to do many things in the city. Although there was a storm crisis that almost destroyed the entire city, now everything is at least back on track for reconstruction.
And many debuffs were indeed eliminated thanks to their efforts.
[City shutdown], [anarchy], [post-war chaos], [rebels]... Not limited to the ones mentioned above, there are many similar entries that describe how bad the situation in the city was at the time, and they have disappeared.
There are also statements like [hungry cities], [out of control at the grassroots level], [administrative chaos], [trade disruption], etc., which have not been completely resolved, but have been downgraded to [food shortage], [shortage of grassroots management personnel], [insufficient administrative strength], [blocked trade routes], etc. This means that although the problem exists, it has been alleviated.
Of course, there are still many, such as [extremely low living standards of the people], [poor infrastructure], [low quality of the population]... There are no less than ten negative conditions that have not been resolved.
There are even new debuffs like [Massive Damage].
But overall, it's much better than before.
This can be seen directly from the numbers.
Fuxing City’s monthly fixed income has increased from over 60 to 211.
On the other hand, the price in Weixing City rose even more sharply.
Originally, there were only over 50 people, but now 100,000 people have been moved from Fuxing City. Perbov's actions have also attracted nearly 20,000 people to Weixing City, where there are 130,000 people, most of whom are industrial workers. The automobile industry, military industry, and pharmaceutical industry are all expanding with sufficient population.
Even though many of the population have not had time to be absorbed, and many people cannot be considered qualified industrial workers and still need sufficient training and learning, the monthly gift income has now risen to 187.
Adding both sides together, the total is 398.
The salary has skyrocketed several times!
More importantly, this is obviously not the limit. As the construction plans and production plans of the two cities have been gradually completed, what should be implemented will be implemented, and what should be promoted will be promoted. In the future, whether it is the elimination of the negative status of the city or the increase in monthly gift income brought about by the actual improvement of productivity, it is foreseeable.
With continued development momentum, this number is expected to continue to soar at a considerable rate.
Just with the income that arrived that month, plus the battle that Perbov fought, and the remaining points from before, Gu Hang now had 889 points of grace points in his hand.
It has to be spent.
There is no interest in saving the gift points, and only by spending them can he truly improve the territory under his command.
Where to spend the money was originally a problem. It was indeed good to continue to invest in the [Technology] interface. So far, almost every technology drawn has brought Gu Hang considerable benefits. Either it has directly become an important industry in the territory, or it has become an important resource. The latter refers to the reactor. Without the reactor power plant, the development of heavy industry would consume a lot of hot limestone as energy.
However, the training of industrial workers is a big problem. Many of the technological means that have been developed have not yet been digested.
What's more, as more and more technological interfaces are shipped, the probability of winning at that level will decrease accordingly, and one can only go to the next level to draw a higher-level mechanism, which makes Gu Hang a little reluctant to invest all the gift points he has on hand.
He first took out 134 points of grace to train troops.
The two newly formed division-level troops have almost reached their manpower. Most of the personnel of the Wind-Quying Brigade come from the old Alliance Corps. Although those soldiers have a certain level of military training, they are obviously not at the level of being an expert.
Perhaps if a regular officer like Yan Fangxu was given enough food and drink, and nothing else to do, and trained for two or three years, and experienced one or two battles of a higher intensity, then everyone could indeed be considered a T5-level soldier and officer. But obviously, Gu Hang couldn't wait for that day.
The same is true for the newly recruited infantry division of about 7,000 men and three regiments.
There are only more than 13,000 people in total, which means 134 points of grace, so it’s just a waste of money.
With this amount of grace points, the two division-brigade units under his command will have quite strong combat effectiveness.
This is true both in terms of the soldiers' military skills and qualities and in terms of weapons and equipment.
Even if the infantry division looked shabby, it was only compared to the Xifeng Brigade. Just talking about them, their individual equipment was all G9, with alloy plastic steel bulletproof plates, squad machine guns, platoon mortars, company ranger rapid reconnaissance teams, regiment artillery battalions... everything they needed.
Still using the Imperial Army's main force, the Astra Militarum, as a benchmark, ordinary third- and fourth-tier troops, the so-called fill-in divisions, are only at this level. On the Wrathful Owl Star, it is very rare for various forces to be able to produce such an infantry division with adequate soldier quality and equipment.
After spending all the designated grace points, Gu Hang still had 755 in his hand.
And this gift has a new destination.
Because just when his monthly fixed income reached more than 300, a new interface appeared in the system panel.
【architecture】.
When he clicked it, Gu Hang saw a very long drop-down menu. It was filled with black icons and a question mark as the text description behind them.
These are obviously not unlocked.
At the top, there are five that have been unlocked, namely the Technical College, Comprehensive College, Zhongsi College, Military Factory, and Civilian Factory.
The first three are relatively similar, taking the technical college as an example.
[Technical College I: When you have built a school that teaches mechanical technology and put it into operation, you can redeem this option and grant it to a designated college. It will slightly increase the learning efficiency of students and slightly increase the probability of the emergence of technical talents that can be activated. Redemption value: 500 gifts.]
The Comprehensive College has the same effect, but it simply changes the description of the Mechanical Technology category to a Comprehensive category, and the improvement in learning efficiency is also "slight", but the consumption of grace points has become 1,000 points.
Zhongsi College is quite different. The main difference is that it does not teach knowledge, but only teaches "loyalty". The main content is loyalty to the empire, but Gu Hang can add some personal ideas to it, forcibly tying loyalty to the empire with his personal loyalty. He has done this kind of thing deliberately in the past.
In addition, Zhongsi Academy has one more function, which provides a new military training option.
In addition to the original five levels of T1-T5, a T3 variant will be provided: the training option for company political commissars. The training unit is required to study in Zhongsi Academy for one week to complete the training. The price is 10 points of grace per person.
This price is 10 times more expensive than ordinary T3 level troops, but Gu Hang thinks it is very valuable.
He doesn't need to train a bunch of company political commissars to form an army to fight. Isn't that a problem? This is obviously so that he can quickly train sufficiently loyal soldiers and send them to various grassroots units as the backbone of the army that he can accurately control and even ensure discipline, morale, and combat effectiveness in battle.
They may not have outstanding command capabilities, and their combat effectiveness may only reach the T3 level due to their stronger will. However, their most important role is to inspire friendly forces and to fight to the death.
He is now eager to build this Zhongsi Academy as soon as possible, and then let more than one hundred political commissars at all levels of the army go in for intensive training for a week before coming out.
Moreover, this gave Gu Hang another idea.
One of the difficulties in the Phoenix Regiment reconstruction plan he had thought of before was how to find absolutely loyal young men to train from an early age.
This Zhongsi College seems to be the way to go.
Adopt an orphan or a child with a clean background, raise him from childhood, spend some grace to turn him into a political commissar, and give him a comprehensive ideological education transformation, then upgrade him to T1 level, make him an elite, and then exchange his gene seeds for surgery to implant...
The plan worked!
Now all that’s left is a way to purchase or even manufacture power armor yourself.
The former needs to find a forging world with manufacturing capabilities. Generally, such forging worlds are closely related to the Mechanical Adeptus Mechanicus. Gu Hang does not have any connections in this area, and there is no way to conceal the purchase of power armor.
But as for the latter, we don’t know what level of technology the Space Marines’ power armor is, nor do we know when it can be drawn out.
But problems are always solved one by one. Isn’t there a solution to the personnel problem now?
There must be a way when you reach the mountain.
As for the two buildings at the back, a civilian factory and a military factory, they are similar.
[Civilian Factory I: After you build a civilian factory and put it into operation, you can redeem this item. The designated factory will get a moderate increase in production efficiency. Redemption price: 100 Gifts.]
It’s the same as the military factory, the price is the same, it just means that it has become exclusively for military use.
The mechanism of the building system can be roughly understood by looking at these options with different functions but similar descriptions.
The system did not create a building out of thin air. Gu Hang had to build the building, the facilities inside, and the supporting personnel himself. And this building system was nothing more than providing some bonuses.
It is like a bonus card, which can be placed in the corresponding factories and schools.
Currently, only these two categories are unlocked.
Moreover, all the options currently available in the building system have an 'I'. Will there be level 2, level 3 or even higher options in the future?
In addition to the bonuses to the building itself, there may also be things like Zhongsi College that can bring some changes to the system functions themselves.
Zhongsi College can provide him with a new type of soldier, so can other buildings do the same? For example, the first-level technical college only has a bonus effect, so when it reaches a higher level, will it be able to produce some special types of soldiers?
He remembered that there were special Crusaders in the Adeptus Mechanicus. They were not the Imperial Church that had been castrated once, but they had their own military force. Among them, the most famous was the Titan Legion. Those war machines that were like Gundams and mechas were extremely fierce. Just one of them could determine the outcome of a war.
In the future, even if Gu Hang has the ability to manufacture this top-level war machine, there has to be someone who can control it, right?
Even if it's just for the moment, Gu Hang is still quite interested in this entire building system, especially the Zhongsi College.
Unfortunately, the exchange price of one thousand points is a bit too expensive and he can't afford it now.
As for the two types of factories, military and civilian, he could afford to change them, but there was no need to do so.
Industrial workers, technological digestion... the means to increase production capacity have not yet been fully prepared. The overall production efficiency still has a lot of room for improvement. There is no rush to use the system's functions and spend grace points to increase production efficiency, which is putting the cart before the horse.
Under such circumstances, he really wanted to keep the 755 points of grace in his hand for the time being.
No, wait for the next batch of grace points to arrive, and when you have accumulated a thousand points, let's try it on the entire Zhongsi College first.
Not only can company political commissars in the army be directly trained through the system, but the ideological education function of Zhongsi College itself is also very important.
At that time, all administrative officials, government officials, military officers, and even factory managers, business owners, businessmen, and even ordinary industrial workers can take some time every year to study there. In terms of policy, the experience and duration of further study at Zhongsi College can be stipulated as bonus points or necessary conditions for promotion to the 45th rank.
Loyalty is the first priority.
