Chapter 391, Just Call Gu Hang Star District
When the ground part of the star port was captured, this was another critical point in the war.
In space, the resistance of the fortress starport has become meaningless.
A space port is different from a starship. It is not a completely independent facility. It requires supplies from the ground, and even part of its energy comes from the ground.
After the ground was captured, not only was the supply cut off, but Cai Minjin's troops could also use the space elevator and orbital spacecraft seized from the ground part of the starport to quickly and massively send the army into the starport and attack directly from the inside.
It’s impossible to defend, there’s no reinforcement and no supplies. What’s the point of defending this star port?
Not to mention, less than thirty hours ago, the Marshal, who was in the Fortress Starport to boost morale and promised countless rewards, was killed on the surface before he could fulfill anything...
This battle cannot be fought!
After the surface part fell, a series of small-scale rebellions and internal purges soon occurred inside the starport. The final result, of course, was that the surrender faction undoubtedly had the upper hand.
After they initially gained control of the starport, they ceased fire and sent a communication request to the bombarding Imperial flagship. The temporary commander among them humbly surrendered unconditionally to Commander Gu and shut down the void shield under Gu Hang's order.
The order to shut down the shield made the garrison soldiers in the star port extremely nervous. Gu Hang did not give them any assurances. If Commander Gu wanted to do so at this moment, a concentrated salvo from the Pegasus Fleet would be able to turn the fortress star port, which had been so strong in the previous void naval battle, into a space ruin.
You have already handed over your life, otherwise how can it be called unconditional surrender?
Fortunately, Gu Hang did not do that.
In Gu Hang's eyes, this will be his property in the future, so why destroy it?
An alliance force entered the fortress starport in landing craft, took over all important facilities, disarmed all personnel, and suppressed some riots.
After the starport surrendered, the remaining armed space stations no longer had any point in resisting. In the next few dozen minutes, they either surrendered or were destroyed.
At this point, all outer orbital defense facilities on Facts 1 have been completely dismantled.
Although there are still a considerable number of anti-orbital fortress guns on the ground, a considerable number of them did not open fire at all from the beginning; now, even fewer of them insist on firing, and they are simply unable to fight against the space fleet.
There was even no need for the Pegasus fleet to continue bombarding these surface fortress artillery.
All we have to do is make sure there are no resistance forces around the landing site established in the capital area.
The Dragon Eagle Legion and the Alliance Army have been continuously deployed to the ground, and there are now more than six million people.
They divided into several clusters and swept across the entire continent.
In most places, the situation was settled with the order of the order; only in a few places did some fighting break out, but they were quickly suppressed by the Astra Militarum and Alliance Army, whose combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Planetary Defense Force.
A week after the war began, the entire planet had completely changed hands.
A part of the Alliance troops were left behind as garrisons, and some administrative officials of the Alliance also entered the planet to supervise the United Government. Their main task was to restore social order and production.
Overall, this war, which lasted only a week, did not cause particularly great damage to the society of Farchers 1.
Not at all, that's impossible, this is war.
But it did not last long and its intensity was not high. The main forces of both sides of the war were mostly locals, and they deliberately avoided civilians and economic priorities during the war... These factors minimized the damage caused by the war.
It is not difficult to restore social order or resume production.
The alliance's army even went to the coalition government's major warehouses and storehouses dedicated to transporting imperial taxes and found a large amount of ready-made supplies.
It was difficult to count all these things in detail at the moment, but even with a rough estimate, the total value should be 4 billion tax coins, and all kinds of categories should be complete.
Food, textiles, and various daily necessities are the most important things; followed by some heavy industrial products, such as steel, alloys, some general mechanical components, and some vehicles; and things like some electronic components, paper products, chemical raw materials and products... are all supplementary categories.
The military industry also has arms, mainly various types of ammunition, artillery shells, missiles, light weapons, armored transport vehicles, etc.
In addition, some "tax coins" were also looted. The real objects of these things were certificates of excess tax payment, which were stamped with the seal of the Imperial Taxation Department, had special anti-counterfeiting measures, and were in duplicate. Their only practical use was to take them out and hand them in to offset taxes when the Imperial tax officials arrived. However, precisely because of the demand for hard currency, various planets and major interstellar organizations also used them for transactions, playing a trading role.
The total value of these tax coins is also one billion.
There is no doubt that the coalition government hoarded these industrial products in different categories and piled up a lot of tax coins. It was definitely not for its own use, but to prepare to use them to pay imperial taxes.
The Facheras family undoubtedly understood that it was impossible to confront the empire. They had long been prepared to surrender and had all kinds of wealth ready. In the end, they would still have to pay imperial taxes.
In fact, these things might have been collected by them in preparation for the current imperial tax, but because of the fines and the forced rebellion by the star district government, all the things were left here.
And now, all of this has fallen into Gu Hang's hands.
Presumably, there are similar riches on the other two planets of Facheras.
This is pretty cool, it saves me from collecting them myself.
The jurisdiction of the war zone has been expanded to the three stars of Fache, but Fache itself has not been turned into a war zone. Since Gu Hang wants to actually control these three planets, he will have to bear the tax revenue of these three planets.
This time, Fachers didn't pay, so they were finished; but the Empire wouldn't care. The tax amount had to be enough. According to the increased development level, Fachers and the three stars had to pay a total of 6 billion, and the star domain government had to pay for it all.
But the Star Region Government was not willing to pay for it all. Before coming, during the various negotiations leading up to this operation, this matter was also settled as one of the details.
Since he has missed the most recent tax payment season, let’s not talk about it; in the next tax payment season two years later, Gu Hang will need to pay 66.6% of this time.
Two years later, for Facheras Samsung, Gu Hang had to pay 10 billion tax coins.
Even for the 10 billion tax revenue in the past two years, Gu Hang couldn't just send the army down to do it. If it was really destroyed, what would he do with the 10 billion in two years? Gu Hang had to use his own capital to make up for it.
Although it can be made up - Koroja doesn't have to pay taxes - but why bother?
He was a little worried.
The three stars of Facheras are three civilized worlds with a population of about three billion. They have a complete range of industries and a high level of development. They can fully bear the tax themselves and even become wealthy enough to use it as income for the alliance.
However, he had no where to find the money to make up for it.
Unexpectedly, the Facheras coalition government prepared it for him directly.
Gu Hang was satisfied and led the large expeditionary force away from Planet Facheras 1 and headed for Planet Facheras 2.
…
Of course, No. 2 and No. 3 couldn't hold out much longer.
In fact, they didn't stick at all.
After the news of what happened on the Fats One spread, and after the arrival of the Empire's massive fleet, they surrendered without hesitation.
The capital of the coalition government, No. 1, which had better defenses than No. 2 and No. 3, was wiped out in a week, so what about them?
What's more, from a legal point of view, the guy named Petters who claimed to be the interim president of the coalition government now has the full legal status - he is the eighth one, as the seven before him are all dead.
Although it may sound a bit self-deceptive, this is how surrender works. You have to find some reasonable reasons.
The most important reason, of course, is that the visitors are the Imperial Army, the Dragon Eagle Legion. This is not surrender, but a restoration of order. Moreover, there is an order from the current president of the coalition government. Isn't this as orthodox as it can be?
There was no naval battle. The troops took over the starport smoothly, and then went directly to the surface on a large scale through the starport, taking command of the local defense forces of the two planets.
The entire rebellion war has basically come to an end.
The 30 million army and Pegasus Fleet will not be withdrawn for the time being. They can stay in the Fats three-star for a while as an occupation force; the personnel of the military and political departments of the alliance and the personnel of the government departments have already been invested in the three-star.
Disband the army and gain control of the army; control the government and consider the disposal of the original coalition government... There is still a lot of follow-up political work to be done, but for the war, it is over.
A subordinate officer came to flatter him, saying that Governor Gu had taken action to put down the Fachers' Great Rebellion, which had caused panic in the star district government, in less than seven days. Three planets in one week, on average, it took less than two and a half days to conquer a world! The commander is worthy of being a hero of the empire, and Governor Gu will definitely have a place in the future general star!
Flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes it wears. Even Gu Hang would be happy to hear the flattery.
However, he still had to be modest: "Compared with the speed of the solar expedition to three planets in two days, there is still a gap."
…
"His efficiency is almost as good as the Solar Expedition! How is this possible?"
In the Tianma Palace of Feiyi Star, little Pei Desi lost his composure again.
He found that as long as anything was related to Gu Hang, he would be easily defeated.
Martinelli, who was sitting opposite him, stared at the battle report and said, "How can it be impossible? The battle report is right here. There are reports from the Star Army, the Navy, and the three planetary governments of Fats. How can this be false? Minnick and his son, as well as a group of people on the list released by the Star Domain Government, have all had their heads chopped off and are being sent to Yunluo Star."
Little Pedes knew, of course, that this could not be faked. However, he still felt that it was magical.
In his mind, the Fats family was a very stubborn and difficult opponent. They were local tyrants, they had a long tradition, they were strong, and they were united...
Even his brother, the very capable leader Pei Desi, could only suppress the enemy after all the alliances he had formed over the years.
But in Gu Hang's hands, this family was wiped out in seven days, or in other words, it surrendered.
Why?
It's not that he hadn't thought about the possibility that Gu Hang would succeed, but in his imagination, even if he succeeded, it would take a bloody battle, a huge price to be paid, and corpses to be scattered all over the ground and blood to kill Fachers, the stinky and stubborn local tyrant.
In the end, is it that simple?
Originally, he thought he had adjusted his mindset and was able to barely believe that the young boy Gu Hang did have some ability; but now it seems that this ability is a bit too great.
Looking at the information on the battle report and the declaration of surrender of the coalition government, little Pedes gritted his teeth and said, "The Fachers family is simply a bunch of trash! They have no backbone at all and are finished just like that! If we had known they were so weak, why did we cede so many interests to Gu Hang? I can do it with my Flying Wing Army! Anyway, as soon as the army arrived, they surrendered without a single fuss, I..."
"Okay, stop talking." Martinelli really didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. "You can do it by taking your Winged Army with you? What are you dreaming about?"
"It may seem simple, but in the entire Tianma Star Region, only Gu Hang can do it."
"You have planted a spy in the Fachers family. Can you guarantee that a group of high-ranking officials and military generals will rebel when the war starts?"
"You have the help of Space Marines. Can you kill him in Minnick's court of the times with a very small number of troops and take control of the central government offices?"
"Does your Winged Army have the ability to fight a crushing battle on the same level as the Astra Militarum and the Alliance Army?"
"Not to mention, do you have the ability to integrate the power of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and the Navy? Gu's Chamber of Commerce will send transport ships directly to the front line to deploy soldiers for their patriarch Gu Hang during the war; those naval masters who are arrogant will directly push their warships into the face of the Fortress Starport just because of Gu Hang's orders. Can you do it?"
"You only saw that Fats surrendered as soon as Gu Hang arrived. How come you can't see how much preparation he made behind this surrender?"
"I still say the same thing: in the entire Pegasus region, only he can do this. If anyone else goes, let alone such an easy victory, even if they pay the price of countless blood, they will return empty-handed in the end."
After saying so much in one breath, Martinelli let out a long sigh.
He looked at the silent little Pedesi with a livid face, and felt a little sorry for him. He decided to give him one last warning:
"I have known your brother for many years and we are very good friends. I really don't want you to end up in a bad situation in the future. But I can't help you. You will have to face him alone in the future. You have to take care of yourself. Don't go against him. Be honest."
"……ah?"
Little Pedes was panicked.
"What do you mean? What do you mean I have to face it alone from now on...what about you?"
"Although I haven't been officially appointed yet, I'm going back to Yunluo Star. There's a position in the Ministry of Law that I'll take. The new head of the sector will be either Gu Hang himself or Lao Yisi's confidant. In short, you should be prepared."
"What? He is also the head of the star zone? Seven out of the nine worlds are in his hands. If he can still be the head of the star zone, then what is the Tianma Star Zone?! We might as well just call it the Gu Hang Star Zone!"
