Chapter 392: Gu Chief
"Then what is the Tianma Star Region? Why not just call it the Guhang Star Region?"
A month and a half later, Martinelli returned to Yunluo Star and brought little Pedesi's words to Xu Dechen.
The Chief of the Legal Department of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, the third most important person in the entire star region, sighed.
He said to Martinelli, "What do you want?"
"Director, can you stop him from becoming the leader of Tianma? At the same time, we must also prevent Lao Yisi's people from obtaining this position. The status of the Tianma star region is very important. If that Gu Hang gets it, and he is Lao Yisi's man, it will be very disadvantageous to us in the future."
"But how to do it?" Xu Dechen asked back, "Power can be top-down or bottom-up. You went to the Tianma Star Region to serve as the head, which is a top-down source of power. It is an appointment from the imperial system and the ruling power obtained by relying on the authority of the empire. But Gu Hang is different."
Martinelli was thoughtful: "What you said is true... Gu Hang, the head of the star zone, is from the bottom up. He controls the actual ruling power of most planets and most people in the star zone. For him, the position of the head of the star zone is more of a posthumous recognition than an appointment?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Now, he has the final say on matters concerning the Pegasus sector. Without his approval, what can the sector leader do? It would be better to give him the position of sector leader."
"But you also said that power can also be transferred from top to bottom. We can arrange a new sector leader to fight him in the Pegasus sector. We can use the power of the sector government to restrict him. His alliance has no clear imperial decree to support it, so we can find a way to slowly dismember it..."
Xu Dechen did not comment on this, but instead talked about another matter: "Did you know that Boggio Gallardo has been promoted to the Executive Minister of the Imperial Central Military Affairs Department?"
Martinelli even looked a little horrified: "What? This... this is too fast, isn't it? How long has he been in the position of deputy minister? He was promoted so quickly?"
Without responding to this question, Xu Dechen continued to add a few more sentences: "The original chairman and vice chairman of Solaria were dismissed, and a vice premier of the Military Affairs Department was transferred to the position of chairman of Solaria; our Chairman Wang Suan of the Eastern Universe, who is already 270 years old and will retire in two years, was transferred to the position of vice premier of the Military Affairs Department. When Gallardo was in Wuji Star, Zuo Zhaofeng, who was persuaded by him and helped him with all his strength, was directly promoted from the chief of the Military Affairs Department of the Universe to the position of chairman of the Universe."
Martinelli continued to be shocked.
If we talk about the changes in the political structure of the central empire, it still seems very far away and unreal. However, if we talk about the Eastern Universe, it is different. This is the superior government that directly governs the Dragon Eagle Star Region government. Changes in the political structure of the Eastern Universe government will directly affect the Dragon Eagle Star Region.
Xu Dechen had already said this, so of course he understood.
The meaning of this series of personnel changes is actually very clear, which is to pave the way for Gallardo and his cronies to continue to rise.
The deputy prime minister who went to Solaria to be the chairman was probably planning to use Gallardo's power to find a way to calm down that region, or at least to gather some forces loyal to the empire, which was also a great achievement. From one of the three deputy prime ministers of the Military Affairs Department to the chairman of the region, from a central high-ranking official to a frontier official, it can be considered a horizontal transfer. More importantly, going to Solaria to be the chairman means there are tasks to do and merits to be gained. After finishing this wave, who knows what he can achieve when he returns to the central government.
As for Wang Suan, an old man who was about to retire and saw that his political career could not go any further, going to Holy Terra and the center of the empire before retiring was a good way to retire. It satisfied the old man's wish and effectively improved his and his family's political status in the empire. Of course, he also needed to reciprocate, and his relatives, descendants, students and former officials would naturally become his helpers.
The key point is that if Wang becomes the deputy prime minister, he will not do any specific work, and the power he vacates will naturally be taken over by Gallardo, the executive minister; after a year or two, when the deputy prime minister resigns, the vacant position will naturally belong to Gallardo.
Every step that Gallardo took was a hurdle that many politicians could never cross in their lifetime. After he arrived at Holy Terra, it was estimated that he would be able to rise from deputy minister to deputy prime minister in three to five years. This speed was simply outrageous!
The person who had the greatest impact on the political situation in the Dragon Eagle Star Region was Zuo Zhaofeng. In this wave of transfers, he was actually the only one who was promoted in an apparent manner - and his promotion was quite revolutionary. He was originally the Chief of the Military Affairs Department of the Cosmic Government, and his status was roughly the third or fourth in command in the Cosmic Government, but he was immediately promoted to the boss of the Eastern Cosmic Region.
He will not lose his position. The team that Lao Wang left behind will help him, and Gallardo in Holy Terra will also help him. He will be able to take control of power smoothly. This is also the reward for his help to Gallardo. In the future, they will also be close political allies.
When all this is implemented in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, no one can ignore it: Gu Hang is a good friend of Gallardo, and this "alliance" of his was arranged for him by Gallardo.
Want to put pressure on Gu Hang's alliance through the Star Domain Government? Want to dismember the alliance?
Dream on.
By the time the new Chairman Zuo comes to power, he will dismember you in minutes - physically.
"Alas..." After figuring out the whole thing, Martinelli sighed deeply, "This is the only way."
"Just work hard in the Ministry of Law. There will always be opportunities in the future. Is Gu Hang necessarily hostile to us? There is no hatred that cannot be resolved. It is true that I have a competitive relationship with General Lao Yisi, but we don't have to regard him as an enemy. What's more, Lao Yisi can win over Gu Hang, so why can't we?"
"That little Pedes..."
"He got the position of Governor of Feiyi Star only because of his brother. The death of Pei Desi is heartbreaking, but without his brother, he would not have been able to keep his position in Feiyi Star."
"So what do you mean?" Martinelli felt a little unbelievable.
"Don't you want to win over Gu Hang, or at least prevent us from becoming enemies? Then the Feiyi Star, which was already unpreservable, is a great gift, isn't it?"
…
Gu Hang, who is regarded as a hot commodity, is in a dilemma at the moment.
After the war, Gu Hang saw the settlement list of the battle.
The number of grace points was not much, only over 10,000 points, which was just his current fixed monthly income.
But this was probably within his expectations.
Although the scale of the war was not small, its intensity, duration and number of casualties were not large.
Furthermore, the two main forces participating in the war, the Pegasus Fleet and the Dragon Eagle Legion, have not yet been recognized by the system and are considered "friendly forces". The results of their battles do not provide any benefits.
If it happened again, Gu Hang would not consume the military strength of his core troops for the sake of gift points, nor would he consume the social stability of the three-star Fachers that was destined to become his spoils. These two things were what Gu Hang would rather spend his gifts for.
Gu Hang was not only a commander, he was also a ruler. The military served politics, he understood this and practiced it.
Because of this, his work became even busier after the military operations were largely over.
Although some people had flattered him before, saying that his efficiency was "comparable to that of the Sun Lord", for Gu Hang, on the one hand, he respected and admired the great achievements of the Sun Lord. In the past few decades, he expanded the territory of the empire by an entire universe. No one could deny his great prestige.
But at the same time, Gu Hang was not interested in his unbridled approach of killing without burying, and only caring about expansion without governing.
Gu Hang managed all the places he captured as his base.
In war, he tried his best to avoid using destructive means;
After the war, it is also necessary to establish one's own ruling power and consider the development of the occupied territories.
On the Farchers star, Gu Hang selected three 'planetary governors'.
It is necessary that each planet has a governor, who is the person in charge registered in the Empire.
Gu Hang is the governor of the four worlds of Black Arrow, Angry Owl, Koroga 1 and 3. However, things are difficult on Facheras Star, as Gu Hang does not have the authority.
But that's not a big deal.
He chose Petrus Fats, Bobby Fats, and Ossana Chenko as the governors of Fats 1/2/3 respectively.
The relevant recommendations have been submitted and have been unanimously approved by the administrative and legal departments of the star domain government. Then the star domain head, Tan Jiuyi, also signed his name.
This matter is almost settled. Although the power of the Star Domain Government can only allow the three of them to become temporary "acting governors", the exact appointment must be reported to the Cosmic Domain Government for approval, but under normal circumstances, the Cosmic Domain Government is unlikely to refute it. Moreover, after Gu Hang communicated with his "friend" once again, he understood a series of changes in the political arena of Wuji Star. Now, the Cosmic Domain Government is "our own people", so there is even less to worry about.
On the contrary, Gu Hang was originally worried that he might get stuck in the star region and star region government. Although it was easy to solve, it was annoying to be disgusted and cause trouble for him.
But no. Martinelli, the head of the star region, signed it readily before leaving office; Lao Yisi from the administrative department certainly didn't have to worry, but Xu Dechen from the legal department was also so straightforward, which surprised Gu Hang.
He knew that the so-called "parliamentary faction" in Yunluo Star's political arena referred to a group of political forces headed by the Minister of Justice Xu Dechen. Martinelli, Pedes, and Little Pedes were all considered to be in this faction.
Gu Hang didn't have a good relationship with them, but he was not troubled by them.
He could realize that this was a step taken by the other party to show goodwill.
Gu Hang also accepted it with pleasure.
Previously, there were conflicts of interest, but now the other party has made concessions and no longer hinders Gu Hang's actual interests, and even provides some help. Naturally, there is no need for Gu Hang to go against others.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you.
And then, someone sent another big gift.
Ivan Martinelli was transferred to the Star Domain Legal Department, and the vacant position of head of the Tianma Star Region fell into Gu Hang's hands.
During the call with Lao Yisi, the lady was still surprised. She said that before she could make a proposal, it was Xu Dechen who made the proposal first. Of course, she would not refuse, and they jointly persuaded President Tan Jiuyi.
Although there is still a reporting step, there will be no more twists and turns on this matter and the definite appointment will be made soon.
After expressing his gratitude, Gu Hang immediately received another call request from Xu Dechen.
It was the first time the two of them communicated, and Xu Dechen was very enthusiastic and polite.
He came to take credit, and Gu Hang certainly understood that. The two chatted in a friendly manner for a while, and Xu Dechen also made it clear that if the three new governors applied to join the alliance, he would give the green light.
After saying these happy things, Xu Dechen did not forget to secretly stab Lao Yisi.
"General Lao Yisi originally had another person in mind for the Pegasus leader, and he thought he could work well with you. I thought it would be smoother for you to do it yourself, rather than having someone to work with."
"Thank you very much."
Gu Hang smiled and chatted with the other party for a few more words. After saying goodbye in a friendly manner, he hung up the phone.
As for what he said about Lao Yisi, Gu Hang didn't take it to heart.
It could be true, or it could be made up. Lao Yisi is not his biological mother, so she won't always do what he wants.
But Gu Hang actually didn't care.
No problem.
Turning around, he began to worry again.
In fact, these good news are of no help to the problems he is facing now.
The three planetary governors were appointed by him, and they were basically puppets - Ossena was not a puppet, as her identity as the Prime Minister of the Alliance was much more important than that of a planetary governor, and she was just acting in this position.
There is no doubt that the three governors will subsequently submit applications to join the alliance, and the three planets will soon become members of the alliance.
However, Samsung’s internal problems cannot be solved by this.
Gu Hang discovered that the methods he had always used and which had always worked on the Angry Owl Star, the Black Arrow Star, and Koroja did not work on the French Three Stars.
It is not easy for him to win the hearts and minds of the people, and it is also difficult for him to put the reform of the alliance system on the French Samsung.
In the past, Gu Hang encountered poor people and low productivity. However, the alliance's set of job levels, clear citizen benefits, clear promotion channels, and nationalization of all means of production and production income... This combination of punches is very effective.
On the one hand, people's treatment has generally improved significantly compared with the past, and they can see hope; on the other hand, low productivity has been rapidly improved through centralized and planned construction.
As for the other series of political means, they are all based on this. To truly make people's lives better, more hopeful, and improve productivity is the serious thing, the rest is empty, and is used by Gu Hang to maintain the system. As long as the former is guaranteed, no matter what the coalition government does, it will be good.
But this is not the case at all for France's Samsung.
The level of development here is already quite good, and the people are not poor.
If the Alliance's rank system is forced on, and the ranks given to the people are too low to reach their previous living standards, it will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among the residents of France Three Stars; if it is too high, the residents of Wrathful Owl, Black Arrow, and Koroja may become dissatisfied because "they are not worried about the lack of people but the injustice", and the cost to the Alliance will be very high.
