Chapter 509: Cold and Indifferent Person
After hearing Gallardo's words, Gu Hang did not answer immediately.
Gallardo waited for more than ten seconds, but there was no response, and he felt a little uneasy.
"you……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Gu Hang spoke at the same time: "You actually understand the situation of the alliance."
"When I left Holy Terra, you and Prime Minister Ou gave me the task of defeating Fury in the Dragon Eagle Star Region and blocking the path of Iron Fury to continue to expand its influence southward."
"My alliance has accomplished this task brilliantly."
“…” Gallardo was a little embarrassed.
Gu Hang was right. Before returning from Holy Terra, the Alliance's mission was indeed just to drive the Fury Regiment out of the Eastern Universe.
But who could have imagined this would be the outcome?
The Alliance drove away the Fury of Flame, and it was almost free of charge. In fact, the Dragon Eagle Star Region, which was originally expected to be the first battlefield against the Iron Fury Stone Rebel Alliance, might be destroyed.
However, this did not happen.
Since the Fury Regiment was driven away through a bloody fight to the death, the Dragon Eagle Star Region did not even experience a war afterwards, and the situation remained very good.
Under such circumstances, the strength of the alliance has greatly increased, becoming much stronger than originally estimated.
What was going to happen was that after the Iron Armored Regiment started the rebellion, the situation changed too quickly. First, three star regions were swept away, then Melandri led a large group to surrender, and then the Inquisition and the Blood Rose Battle Sisters, along with two loyalist regiments, stepped into the trap and were massacred on Tianyuan VI...
At this point, the situation in the entire Spider Web Universe has basically been declared a complete mess.
This is completely different from what the imperial central government initially estimated.
Why did they give Gu Hang so many benefits? Wasn't it because they were counting on the alliance to be the vanguard and fight with Iron Fury Stone on the front line, so as to gather strength for the empire in the future and buy more time?
As a result, the Alliance is doing well now, the Dragon Eagle Star Field is also doing well, but the situation in the fourteen star fields and tens of thousands of worlds in the Spider Web Universe is critical.
The Empire simply didn't have time to gather enough forces to launch an attack.
Looking around in the Spider Web Universe, the only one who can be trusted and perhaps play a certain role is the alliance that was supposed to be the first to start the fight!
What Gu Hang said was indeed right, he fulfilled the promise he made when he left Holy Terra.
However, the mission assigned to him at that time was essentially to let him hold back and contain part of Iron Fury Stone's power, rather than letting him really rest and recuperate here.
Why does the Empire want you to rest and recuperate?
Go fight for me now!
However, Gallardo will not be too tough towards his 'good brother' Gu Hang.
He said: "You have to consider my difficulties. I can give you a lot of extraordinary support, which is based on many reasons. You also have to give me some support."
"I understand." Gu Hang's tone softened a little, "I am willing to support you, but..."
Gu Hang sighed and continued, "Bogioya, if you insist, I will of course launch an attack."
"But are you sure you really want me to do this?"
"I am undoubtedly your most staunch supporter. The alliance is currently incapable of fighting the Iron Fury Stone. If I act rashly, the troops I bring to the Princess Star Region will almost certainly be defeated. After that, the Iron Fury Stone will not have any scruples about the south. After losing the main force, especially the main fleet, Paul can send a detachment south to completely defeat my alliance."
Gallardo remained silent.
This is indeed a situation that can happen very easily.
"I am your most staunch supporter, your brother. After giving away all my belongings, I only gained a little time?"
"When the most difficult part is over, the empire will be able to accumulate some strength. But let's not talk about whether we can achieve the final victory. Even if we win, what does it have to do with us? At that time, I don't know which marshal or which force will get the final and most abundant fruits of victory."
His words made Gallardo fall into deep thought.
Gu Hang casually picked up the cup beside him and drank a sip of water. This was a set of words he had prepared long ago, and it was the most suitable one to say to Gallardo.
Is Boggio Gallardo some great loyal subject of the empire?
That's obviously not the case.
This guy never does anything without benefits.
Even if you have a very good and close relationship with him, you should not try to persuade him from an emotional perspective.
This person has a cold heart, and talking about feelings will easily make him feel: You are sorry for me.
It doesn't mean that he won't succeed, he can still easily succeed; but once he fails, no matter how good the relationship between the two people was, it can easily reach the point of breaking up; even if he succeeds, it will leave hidden dangers and cracks in the relationship.
However, if we talk about interests, everyone is at a rational stage and only talks about benefits, which has less impact on the relationship.
To put it bluntly, for someone like Gallardo, the reason he helped Gu Hang so much in the past was essentially: You are my good brother, someone I can trust, and if I help you, it will also be good for me.
Now, Gu Hang's words really made Gallardo very concerned.
He thought about it for a while and found that what Gu Hang said made sense!
If we lose the alliance, it will be a huge loss even if we win!
The alliance belongs to Gu Hang, so isn’t that almost the same as being his?
When I think about it, I feel so bad that my liver aches.
The key is what benefits will you get after giving away the alliance?
That might be good for the empire and for Ou Juren, but not necessarily for Gallardo.
Even if he finally defeated and killed Iron Fury Stone, the credit would belong to the entire faction. As the second-in-command of the faction, he would certainly be able to get a lot of the profits, but...
How can it be satisfying to just gain merit in war for one's own benefit?
However, Gallardo had one last question.
He thought and weighed it carefully in his mind.
At this time, Gu Hang's voice rang in his ears: "Of course, I know you are also under pressure, and I understand it very well. In this regard, we must take some actions."
"I will send part of the army north, so that we can shut up some people on Holy Terra."
Hearing this, Gallardo, who was in Holy Terra, finally smiled.
