Chapter 330: Black Arrow Star Joins the Alliance
Gallardo really left a big surprise for the Tianma Star Region and Gu Hang.
For the Pegasus Sector, his sudden appearance made the events that had happened before extremely absurd. A year of chaos, the death of the governor of the most populous planet in the sector, and the death of the head of the sector were all caused by his disappearance.
He has suddenly returned, but he cannot restore the political environment of the Tianma Star Region to what it was more than a year ago.
But it is obvious that no one has this expectation except for little Pedes's group.
The Fats family was very happy. Before Akuna and Pedes died, their influence could hardly extend beyond the galaxy; now, even Koroja 3 fell into their hands.
Good news from heaven.
However, they also did not want the War Apostle to be found.
Gallardo's ability to stir up trouble is so strong and so memorable. He got rid of Pedes and Akuna in the first place, so who knows what he will do next?
But Ivan Fachs didn't dare to do anything real.
During this period of time, he has sent people and even personally looked for Gu Hang several times, just to find out what the War Apostle's current status is and what he plans to do next.
Gu Hang calmed Ivan Fachs's mentality and told him that Mr. Apostle had no other plans and just wanted to leave the Tianma star region as soon as possible.
When Fachs heard the news, he was of course relieved. He even suggested whether it was necessary to send troops to protect the War Apostle when he left.
Gu Hang rejected this.
This is also what Gallardo himself meant.
According to his original words, under the current situation, he cannot trust anyone in the entire Tianma star region except Gu Hang.
In fact, he didn't even trust the Imperial Navy. When he left the Tianma star region, all he needed was for Gu Hang to provide him with a "Traveler" and a team of elite special forces for close protection.
It is normal not to trust the Imperial Navy or other forces in the Pegasus sector.
After the Sun Expedition, his identity as a war apostle became very awkward. Although he said that he still had many "friends" and that he still had value in existence, his friends and his value were definitely not in the Pegasus Star Region. Now that he had lost his divine power, he became a mortal, an ordinary person, which made him very vulnerable. With untrustworthy people accompanying him all the way, anyone who wanted to kill him would be doomed.
He only trusts Gu Hang.
Gu Hang still felt a little painful about this invitation.
Up to now, the Alliance has not been able to achieve mass production of the 'Traveler'. All parts are produced by black boxes and then transported to the so-called shipyard on the Angry Owl Star Port, but in fact it is just a small place that can barely assemble parts to assemble the Traveler.
Since acquiring the 'Traveler' technology, Angry Owl Star can produce such a spaceship approximately every four months, with a value of 1.8 million tax coins per spaceship.
So far, the alliance has only four travel ships.
Sending Gallardo away means giving him a ship for free?
Send out another company of elite soldiers?
However, after careful consideration, Gu Hang agreed.
If you want to get a return, just treat it as an investment.
The return on investment came quickly.
This is the "Alliance" organization that Gallardo had told Gu Hang about before leaving.
To sum up, the core of this gift is that the Alliance is now a legal interstellar organization registered with the Imperial Central Government. Planetary governors can freely join the "Alliance" to become a closer economic and political alliance and form a joint planetary defense force.
This situation is actually not common throughout the empire, but it still exists.
The relationship between planets is always due to the economy and the same military pressure. However, generally speaking, this relationship can only take effect through communication and cooperation agreements between the planetary governors. The relationship between the two sides is equal in theory. If you want to maintain this unified and cooperative relationship from a higher dimension, you need to establish it on the star district government. At the same time, the star district government can also mobilize some official forces of the empire, such as the Star Army and the Imperial Navy.
To put it simply, the first is mutual assistance among administrative agencies at the same level, and the second is joint action under the coordination of the higher-level administrative agency.
The former is not mandatory and can be done at will; the latter relies on the mutual coordination of the overall government system.
However, within the vast territory of the empire, the situation is too complicated. In some places, an organization that is stronger than the equal agreement between the conventional planetary governors and transcends the conventional administrative divisions and star district governments is needed.
This demand may come from interstellar connections, special economic cooperation, or some historical factors...
A recent example is Fachs 1, 2 and 3. These three planets are all in the hands of the Fachs family. Although there are three governors, there is a "head of the family" recognized by the empire as the co-lord of the three worlds.
The reason why they can do this legally is because the Fachers family, as a political entity, is also a legal interstellar organization recognized by the Empire. The main reason why the Empire approved their establishment was that when the Empire's Great Crusade reached the Pegasus region, they were already one of the rulers here, and they helped the Empire's expeditionary force to recapture most of the worlds here.
In a sense, the Fachers family can be said to have "brought capital into the group". They were originally the masters of the three Fachers worlds, and were willing to surrender completely, and also brought help, so the empire recognized and legalized their rule.
This is the so-called 'historical factor'.
In short, there are all kinds of completely different situations within the empire, but they all require special handling, so related loopholes are left.
But this situation is relatively rare. Normally, the Empire will not approve the establishment of relevant interstellar cooperation organizations.
At least, if Gu Hang wants to fight for it on his own, he won't have any chance.
The main reason is that he has no "friends" in the central government of the empire or in higher-level governments. Even if he wants to transfer some benefits, he has no way to do so.
In addition, the situation on the Angry Owl Star... to put it bluntly, does not meet the requirements for establishing a legitimate interstellar organization at all.
Why legalize your alliance? To make it easier for you to expand and rule other planets within your empire?
What do you want to do?
Moreover, let alone fighting for it, before this, Gu Hang didn't even know that he could play like this, and didn't know that there were such rules in the empire.
But it is clear that this is not a normal situation, and Gallardo is not a normal person.
He did it even though the 'Alliance' did not comply with any relevant policies.
A document with the seal of the Prime Minister of the Executive Council of the Imperial Central Government and the review of the Executive Council of the Eastern Universe was delivered to Gu Hang one and a half months after Gallardo left.
He did not doubt the authenticity of this thing, because along with this seal came the questioning of the current head of the Tianma star region.
Ivan Martinelli, the newly appointed head of the star zone far away on Feiyi Star, sent his messenger to ask Gu Hang what was going on and why he didn't know about it in advance?
Gu Hang thought for a while, then packaged the internal strife of the Gu family that had occurred on Black Arrow Star and the special trade relationship that had always existed between Black Arrow Star and the Gu family, and informed the leader of the situation. He also made it clear that Black Arrow Star itself was a "compensation" for the Gu family.
They should compensate Gu's family.
This legalized "alliance" organization legally confirmed the compensation.
The alliance will be limited to Black Arrow Star and Angry Owl Star and will not expand - he does not have the ability to expand it.
At the end of the conversation, Gu Hang also emphasized that this was a gift given to him by the Apostle of War and had been officially confirmed by the Imperial Government.
Through these words, what he wanted to tell Martinelli was that don't worry too much, it's nothing more than the connection between two small worlds with small populations, which is completely different from the structure of the Fats family; also, don't have any bad ideas, if you want to cause trouble, consider whether you can afford to offend the War Apostle.
Sure enough, there was nothing further to follow up. Martinelli did not ask any more questions and tacitly accepted what had happened.
This guy Gallardo has never boasted before.
He was indeed unlike most of the war apostles under Sohkaim. He was not a general, a commander, or a lord. But the reason why he could be one of the 46 apostles and obtain the divine power of sharing weal and woe with the Lord of the Sun was of course because of his own abilities and his special qualities.
If, before this, Gu Hang was really skeptical, even if this guy Gallardo successfully left the Pegasus star region, with all the shitty things he had done in the past, and all the enemies he had made, and now that his biggest backer was gone, could he still make a comeback?
But now it seems that there might actually be a chance.
At least, Gu Hang has already seen the first returns.
The alliance is legalized, and this gift comes at the perfect time.
With it, Gu Hang's rule over Black Arrow Star will become legitimate.
Before this, he was able to gain benefits from Black Arrow Star purely by relying on force and his control over the mind-tampering operation of the planetary governor, Ness Luman.
Later on, as the 'alliance leader', Gu Hang had a series of rigid organizational structures, which enabled him to have actual legal and empire-recognized ruling power over the affiliated planets.
In the future, if Gu Hang wants, he can get rid of the hidden danger of Nestor Luhman and control the world.
He can also legitimately establish a coalition government and a joint army without having to worry about anyone using this matter to attack him.
Things became easier to handle.
This legitimacy cannot be bought with 1.8 million tax coins.
Gu Hang knew he had made a fortune.
He not only looked forward to it:
"How many more surprises can you bring me in the future? I'll wait and see!"
…
The communication and exchanges within the empire are still too backward.
Although interstellar communications can be achieved using astropathic towers and psychics, in reality, conventional astropathic towers can only achieve star-district-level communications at best; star-field-level communications or even higher can only be achieved through larger-scale astropathic towers, and information transfer stations must be set up.
The Tianma Star Region does not have the conditions to directly contact Holy Terra. The largest Star Language Tower is on Feiyi Star, and at most it can only contact the capital of the Eastern Universe - Ziwei Star.
But it's enough.
Many things do not have to go to the level of the imperial central government. The cosmic government is enough to solve most of Gu Hang's problems.
Gu Hang very seriously sent out two copies of the application documents for joining the alliance written by Ness Luman, the governor of Black Arrow Star, through the regular government information transmission channels, along with a copy of the legal document of the "Alliance" in his own hand.
There were actually two original copies of this set of documents, one in the center of the empire and one in his hands. In between, from the universe to the star field to the star region, each level of government had a copy in their hands for verification.
The alliance only needs to go to the Cosmic Realm level to obtain approval for new members.
After receiving the application documents and approving them, they sent two original copies back to Gu Hang and to Holy Terra for preservation. They then made three copies, keeping one for themselves and distributing one copy each to the star field and star region.
In this way, the entire legal process is completed.
As for whether the Cosmic Domain Government will approve Black Arrow Planet to join the alliance...
Gu Hang was not worried about this.
The chances of disapproval are low.
On the one hand, for the Cosmic Domain government, the Pegasus star region is too far away, and the two stars of Wrath of the Owl and Black Arrow, with a combined population of less than 500 million, are too small. If they want to set up a small economic and military mutual assistance alliance, then go ahead. They have the legal documents, so why bother?
In addition, there is a core difference between the "Alliance" and the Fats family's.
The size of Facheras must be limited, and the legal scope is only those three worlds.
But Gu Hang carefully read the document in his hand. As for the scale, Gallardo was so "careless" that he forgot to write it down. As for the conditions for joining, Gallardo was very considerate and set it as a very simple "need for economic or military cooperation", and then one could join in the name of "uniting to jointly protect the empire's territory".
There are no hard and fast conditions!
Then as long as the local governor applies and provides sufficient and complex reasons, and the Cosmic Domain government does not know the specific situation here, as long as the documents are well prepared, the probability of approval is very high.
If it’s not approved, just modify the materials and apply again. Isn’t this what the complicated bureaucratic system is for?
In fact, Gu Hang had never encountered such a bad thing.
About two months later, Gu Hang received a reply and new documents.
The Alliance now has a second franchise world - Black Arrow.
At this point, the last political obstacle for Gu Hang to wipe out Black Arrow Star was eliminated.
