Chapter 79: The Overall Situation Has Been Decided
The outcome has been decided.
Gu Hang also breathed a sigh of relief.
He had reason to be happy: the ultimate measure he had prepared was not used.
His actions today were somewhat risky, but not too risky. Under the dual protection of Space Marines and Sisters of Battle, he was a very powerful psychic, so it was not easy for him to get into trouble. In addition, he was protected by his status as a governor, which made the Alliance soldiers at a loss, afraid to act rashly, and unable to devote themselves to the battle. This was an additional layer of protection.
It was precisely because of these bonuses that he dared to come and behead Mondok and then conquer the entire army.
The biggest risk is simply failure of action.
At this moment, his set goal has been achieved.
Of course, he also thought about what might happen if this adventure got completely out of control.
Then he might have to face a situation where he was trapped in an army of 10,000 people with only 19 people. But on the one hand, he was sure that he could still break out with all his strength in this situation, and on the other hand, he also had the final means to completely solve the problem.
In space orbit, the Quintet has been fully prepared for combat, and its ship's guns are ready to open fire at any time to launch orbital strikes on the ground.
Once the situation gets completely out of control, Gu Hang will leave a mark and make a full effort to break out. The team led by Yan Fangxu will also support from the outside and build a defense line to block the alliance army in the outer city.
After he breaks out, the naval guns will begin orbital bombardment, bombarding the Alliance Legion stationed in the outer city area in a relatively accurate and small-scale manner.
Orbital strikes are not completely invincible. If the party under bombardment has very deep air-raid shelters and tunnels, and very sturdy bunkers specifically designed to resist orbital strikes, it may be able to significantly reduce the power of orbital bombing and reduce damage.
But obviously, the Alliance Corps did not make such preparations. And temporary digging was impossible.
After the orbital bombing is over, Gu Hang will lead his troops to clean up the battlefield, and the goal of destroying the Alliance Legion can also be achieved.
But that is a last resort.
Orbital bombing cannot be completely accurate, and there will certainly be shells that may fall into the inner city or the outer city's non-war zone, causing serious accidental injuries; the fear of orbital bombing will spread in Fuxing City. This panic may help Gu Hang's next actions, but it may also encourage resistance among city residents.
If we fall into that situation, there will be a lot of trouble later.
But if it really came to that, Gu Hang would not be soft-hearted. Otherwise, he would not have made such a plan.
But if you can avoid it, it’s better not to use it.
The current result is much better than using railguns to clear the way.
The Alliance Legion has become his.
It was definitely not enough to completely control these 10,000 fully armed legionnaires and turn them into trustworthy subordinates. Even just disarming them all and keeping them under centralized custody took a lot of effort. After executing Mondok, it took almost a whole day just to disarm and place these soldiers.
The main reason was that although most of these soldiers had accepted their fate, there were still a small number who refused to surrender their weapons, which led to conflicts with the infantry regiment led by Yan Fangxu and bloodshed.
At the same time, there are also quite a few people who, although they dare not resist openly, will quietly escape with their weapons.
The troops directly under Gu Hang only had five battalions with about 1,500 people, which was a bit stretched. Although they had tried their best to prevent this situation, there were still a large number of alliance soldiers who fled with their weapons.
These guys might become trouble in the future. If they hide in the slums of the outer city, they might become a hidden danger to the security of the outer city in the future; if they escape outside the city, they might become bandits.
It is troublesome, but it is just a minor issue and not a big deal.
Excluding those who had died or escaped, there were about 7,000 soldiers who were finally gathered together for custody.
Next, Gu Hang did not rush into the city.
In the current situation, the city's problems and Hodgson's problems are no longer important. After the army was disarmed, the city has become prey that can be taken at will, and it will not move. It only depends on when Gu Hang will harvest it.
In fact, what Gu Hang is facing right now is far from the full war potential of Fuxing City. This action can't even be considered a "war".
If Gu Hang were to name it himself, it should be called a "special military operation."
Gu Hang keenly judged that although the disappearance of Old Hodgson meant that the Alliance authorities had declared war on him, the enemy he had to deal with in this "war" was not the entire Fuxing City.
On the contrary, the city should belong to him, and the people in the city and the army defending the city should not be his enemies, but his subjects.
Clearly understanding who the real enemy is and who should be won over to his side is the core reason why Gu Hang was able to achieve such a great result at a relatively small cost. Only by understanding this problem can we achieve twice the result with half the effort, instead of foolishly treating the entire city as an enemy and ending up with a lose-lose situation.
The route problem has been solved, and the only thing left is how to do it.
There are space marines, battle sisters, starship macro cannons, and the status of governor... The means to solve the problem are not a big problem.
After dealing with the allied forces, Gu Hang sent his men to five locations.
The four infantry battalions each guarded and closed the four gates of the inner city. The people in the inner city who had protected themselves with high walls were now shocked to find that the walls had become their prisons and they could no longer get out through the four exits.
At this point, the dignitaries in the inner city and the one hundred thousand people living in the inner city were locked inside, separated from the eight hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand people outside the city.
The other battalion was guarding 7,000 disarmed and captured Union soldiers.
Gu Hang is here too.
These seven thousand people are crucial.
Gu Hang did not have the crazy idea that he could immediately recruit them as his subordinates, but in the future, they would be a very important part of Gu Hang's military force.
There was no way he would leave these seven thousand men unused.
Even if he has systematic training capabilities, good sources of soldiers are still important.
But before incorporating this army, Gu Hang still has a lot of work to do.
