Chapter 802, Is This Fast?
When the second batch of expeditionary troops joined the battle, the progress and speed of the entire expedition reached a new level.
And this is not the end.
The military expansion plan within the alliance is always ongoing.
Moreover, the economic system of the entire alliance had already begun to shift on the eve of the disaster.
From focusing on economic development to serving the war.
The third-level mobilization order has been issued, and all units are required to pay attention and be ready to issue the second-level mobilization order at any time.
Factories began to serve the production of military products. The social environment and customs began to change under official propaganda. News information was strictly controlled, and there were more war-related news, which were mainly guided by government propaganda.
On many planets with the necessary conditions, the people began to receive four hours of military training per week in the militia camps as a reserve force. This covered almost all residents and was considered a resident obligation.
The purpose of receiving basic military skills training is to enrich the reserve army. When it is necessary to expand the scope of conscription, these reserve militias can reduce the cost of screening and training.
All military factories were relieved of many of the restrictions that had been imposed in the past to make way for economic development. Many civilian factories began to accept large numbers of processing orders from military factories, and some were even transformed into military factories.
Some welfare policies for the entire population began to shift towards wartime levels.
There are many similar policies.
The issuance of the mobilization order essentially means that the alliance's war potential is beginning to be released.
With the current size of the alliance, it is very difficult to completely switch to a wartime economic system and release all the potential at once, and it will also cause great harm to the alliance society. The alliance government will not do that, and the current situation is far from the point where a total mobilization will be completed tomorrow.
Just turn slowly, the alliance still has a lot of time to do this.
In addition, relevant publicity policies must also be implemented in place.
Over the past two or three decades, the Alliance has experienced a long golden period of peaceful development.
Now, that period is coming to an end.
In the future, war will be the main theme. The whole society will serve the war, and the duration will not be a few years or a dozen years, but may be a longer period of time, even covering the lives of several generations.
Of course, that doesn't mean the league's development will stop.
It’s just that the development in the past ‘golden age’ focused on the development of the entire population, in an all-round and all-inclusive manner, laying the foundation.
The development after the mobilization order was issued was the development of military and military industry.
Perhaps the living standards of the general public may stagnate for a long time, or even regress a little, but the scale and quality of military production will develop rapidly.
There is nothing we can do about this.
In times of crisis, life issues have to give way to survival issues.
A similar situation also occurred in the Eastern Universe.
The situation in the Eastern Universe is rather special.
Before this, the alliance system was not widely implemented in the Eastern Universe. The alliance's control over the Eastern Universe was more like economic colonial control, with a bit of economic plunder.
On an objective level, the profits earned from the Eastern Universe accelerated the development of the Alliance's homeland, but at the same time, the Alliance's large-scale investment, especially in infrastructure, also enabled the Eastern Universe to achieve substantial economic growth.
However, this economic growth, due to the lack of the support of the alliance system, did not reach the hands of the general public, but was rather eaten up by the powerful and wealthy class in the Eastern Universe. In the end, the benefits to the general public were relatively small.
At that time, the Alliance did not take over the Eastern Universe because, on the one hand, it would cost a lot to expand the scale of rule, but on the other hand, it was more important because of the obstruction of Holy Terra. As they did not want to overly stimulate the sensitive nerves of the central government of the empire, the Alliance's "greed" for the Eastern Universe was much restrained.
Now, don't worry about that.
The political arena of the Eastern Universe, which was greatly influenced by the alliance, had already been completely liberated during the electrification operation. Afterwards, when the "Letter to Fellow Disaster Compatriots" announced the beginning of the Dark Side Expedition, the Eastern Universe Government, on behalf of the entire universe, announced that it would accept the full management of the "Empire Dark Side Control Committee", and recognized Gu Hang, the only high lord, as the supreme authority in the Empire's Dark Side. All the planets in the universe would 100% obey all the instructions of the Control Committee.
This means that the Eastern Universe has smoothly completed its merger with the Alliance.
And because in the years before this, there were a large number of planets in the Eastern Universe that had already accepted a large number of employees from the Alliance as government officials and professional managers. The entire political transition and reform became quite smooth - compared to other places that still needed violent transformation, it was indeed smoother.
Afterwards, the alliance system will quickly develop the entire Eastern Universe towards the localization of the alliance, and at the same time formulate people's welfare and social production scale according to the standards of the mobilization order.
But also because this peaceful evolution left behind many historical issues, the entire universe must still have a large number of historical remnants, unlike the fourteen star regions of the alliance that have experienced blood and fire and have been washed clean, allowing the alliance to paint freely.
In order to appease and reward the original powerful class, although they were also incorporated into the alliance system, they generally received very high job ranks and enjoyed high-level welfare benefits and allowances. They generally did not have to undertake any special work tasks, and they also received additional allowances beyond their job ranks... It was awesome.
It doesn't matter if you really want power or have great ambitions. The alliance's thirst for talent is always great. And with the help of the alliance platform, whether it is to fulfill burdens or control power, it is much greater than in the past when they only had one planet, one star field, or even one universe.
Join a dark expedition that could influence the fate of the entire empire!
This temptation is more tempting than anything else for those with lofty ambitions.
The alliance also welcomes and needs the participation of these idealists.
…
The Alliance's fourteen native star fields, plus the seven star fields in the Eastern Universe, totaling 21 star fields, are the Alliance's current basic foundation for supporting the Dark Side Expedition.
So far, the Dark Side Expedition has been going on for three months. The second expeditionary force has been sent to the front line, and the third expeditionary force will be formed in at most half a year.
During these three months, more than seventy planets have been captured in the Magre universe.
How do you rate this speed?
It’s slow, but on average it takes less than 1.3 days to conquer a world. The Solar Expedition back then was at about this speed.
Who can say this is slow?
Even though many worlds did change their flags as soon as the Alliance army arrived; they didn't even need to do that. As soon as the communication was established, they announced that they would obey the management of the Control Committee and wait for the engineering ship to tow the Thunder Torch Tower for installation.
That's why there is such a speed.
But wasn't it the same with the Solar Expedition? After a crucial battle, the main force of a pocket empire was destroyed, and dozens or hundreds of planets surrendered and were incorporated into the empire. If we really want to talk about control, it is not certain whether the worlds captured after the Solar Expedition have a higher degree of control than the worlds captured by the Alliance's Dark Expedition.
Most likely, no.
Of course, there are differences. The Dark Side Crusade has a huge advantage over the Sun Crusade, that is, the targets of the Alliance's attack are all the original Empire worlds, so the resistance will be much smaller than that of the Sun Crusade, which goes to the world of the Dark Outer Realm.
But in any case, the speed of one world every 1.3 days is definitely not slow.
However, even if this speed continues, how long will it take to conquer the entire Magre universe?
There are 5,000 worlds in the Magre universe!
Even if the speed remains unchanged, and we hope that the Dark Side Expedition will not encounter any special difficulties in the future, it will take at least seventeen years, nearly eighteen years, to recover the entire Magre universe.
This is just the Magre universe.
The dark side of the entire empire has a total of 25 universes!
Excluding the Spider Web and the East, there are 23 remaining universes. If we calculate at this speed, it will take four hundred years!
It is true that the Alliance is very rich, but can it sustain an expedition that will take twenty generations if a generation lasts for four hundred years?
I'm afraid that's not possible.
This dark expedition definitely cannot be supported by the alliance alone.
The power of those planets that have been captured during the dark side expedition must be mobilized and utilized.
Otherwise, as the Dark Side Crusade expands and controls more and more areas, the Alliance will be dragged down.
This means that the Alliance must manage the captured planets well during the expedition.
Neither economic nor political construction can stop.
There is no need to explain the former, but the latter determines how much force the Alliance can mobilize and utilize on these planets.
A large number of economic and political talents are indispensable.
In turn, the challenges posed to the coalition government are also quite high.
The entire government is on full alert, like a wound-up spring that cannot stop for even a moment.
All actions must be fast, but at the same time stable. In such a huge project, any mistakes in any part of the process will have far-reaching consequences.
But it is precisely under such circumstances that the alliance has faced a greater wave of challenges.
The trouble the Alliance is facing now is not only to support the ever-larger and endless Dark Side Expedition, but also the security of the Alliance itself, which has suddenly emerged.
That is the part in the northern part of the Spider Web Universe, bordering the Star-Swallowing Universe which belongs to the northern border of the empire.
The Devouring Stars Universe is penetrated by a large rift, and a part of it is separated on the dark side of the empire where the Alliance is located.
Although the Alliance's Dark Side Expedition did not target the Devouring Universe, this area was relatively close to the Great Rift, so it would be significantly more affected by the Subspace. The disasters there would be significantly more troublesome and more numerous than those in other places.
Furthermore, the Chaos rebels and Chaos demon army might be able to move quickly with the help of the scarlet scars.
For the Empire and humanity, the Scarlet Scar is a natural barrier that separates the two ends of the Empire. But for the Chaos enemies, it is a shortcut. They can use the Scarlet Scar to move quickly. The Chaos army can appear almost anywhere in the Scarlet Scar.
Therefore, in the early stages of the Dark Side Expedition, you may be reluctant to go to the north because you want to speed up.
But even if we don't go on an expedition, we cannot stop the reconnaissance and early warning work in the areas bordering the Scarlet Scar.
The challenge comes from that border area.
A Chaos Demon Army rushed out from the Scarlet Scar.
It was a bloody red fleet, and the bloody skull logo was extremely eye-catching.
And their goal is very clear.
They didn't care about the territories of the three star fields in the Star-Swallowing Universe, and headed straight for the northern part of the Alliance's Spider Web Universe!
