Chapter 808, Safety Zone Policy
Twelve years of continuous corruption from top to bottom have made the area controlled by the Magre Universe Government almost the most corrupted by Chaos.
But it still couldn't withstand the fierce attack of the Dark Expedition.
When the main fleet assembled for the Dark Side Expedition arrived at the Miting Star, the rule of the Magre Universe Government had basically collapsed. A large number of the more than one hundred worlds had been liberated, and the battles on the ground were certainly far from being completely cleared, but the communication between the planets had basically been completely cut off.
The corruption on the ground is more difficult to deal with. According to the experience of the expeditionary force, it may take decades of persistent governance to save it.
To be honest, this is not a very cost-effective deal. But the league also has its own routines for this.
The worst case scenario is a direct extermination order. There aren't many people who can make the alliance make this choice, and to be honest, each one of them can be considered hopeless.
In many cases, the cost of rescuing a planet is very high, so high that the accounting officials of the Alliance believe that the cost of conquering the planet cannot be recovered even after a hundred years of controlling the planet and collecting taxes.
But even so, it can still be saved. The Alliance often deploys some combat forces to the surface of the planet to prepare for long-term combat, and more importantly, to train local troops.
It is not that we expect the trained local troops to solve the planet's problems on their own. If they have this ability, or if the crisis is only this serious, the administrative bureaucrats of the alliance will not judge that the planet will not be able to recover its cost for a hundred years.
The role of those local troops is just to choose to establish some clear areas on the planet that are not polluted by chaos corrosion, which become safe zones, and then continuously absorb people who have not been corrupted from the outside.
The area will resume some production and be able to protect itself as much as possible.
The Alliance ships would come regularly to collect taxes and trade. The former would require 10% of their output, which was equivalent to the imperial tax.
But in reality, they made a lot of money.
Because of the subsequent trade opportunities, the alliance will do it with them at par.
It is precisely because of this support from outside the planet that they have hope of persisting on a planet severely corrupted by chaos.
If they have a future, it would be best if they could rely on trade and the help of alliance instructors to restore their own production as much as possible and absorb as many people as quickly as possible. The safe zone would not only be able to protect itself, but also continue to expand, unite with other safe zones, and ultimately purify the entire planet.
This is the best and what the league expects most.
Secondly, they had better be able to protect themselves. To manage their safe zone and prevent corruption from entering, this means that the church and anti-corruption review agencies must be strong enough; it is not easy for them to survive in a world full of crises.
Once all established safe zones are destroyed, the Alliance will believe that the world is no longer worth saving, and the Extermination Order will be on the way.
The situation is certainly harsh for these worlds, and I don't know how many touching stories will be born from it.
However, for the alliance, this is also the most cost-effective way to choose when they have no other choice but to abandon their feelings.
We can’t carry out extermination on every world, as that would be too costly for vitality, and the cost of extermination weapons would also be very high;
We cannot leave it alone, otherwise the Chaos corruption will develop uncontrollably, creating Warp rifts, pulling out Chaos ships, and attacking other areas.
We can’t take over completely, otherwise the progress of the Dark Side Expedition cannot be guaranteed and it will be dragged on in this place for many, many years, and the probability of accidents elsewhere will be even greater...
What should I do then?
This is the only way.
Doing so at least gives them hope for self-salvation and also truly provides the necessary help.
To put it more coldly, this also brings a great benefit to the alliance: identification.
After the establishment of those safe zones, it is a good way to identify. Those that can solve problems by themselves are of course the best, and those that can maintain themselves are also good, at least proving that the chaos erosion of the world is controllable. In other words, the meaning of the existence of most safe zones on a planet is to curb the chaos erosion.
Once the safe zone is completely destroyed, it will also help the Dark Expedition Command to determine that the chaos erosion in this world is uncontrollable and must be dealt with severely and can no longer be tolerated.
That is what is called "hopeless", and it is time to issue the extermination order.
However, this is just a direction and has not yet been implemented.
Next, Yan Fangxu will participate in a meeting to discuss how to implement this direction.
There is a lot of detail work to be done inside.
How do we define those "safe zones"? What characteristics and indicators must be met before we abandon direct military liberation and instead establish safe zones?
These safe zones are like armed bases behind enemy lines. What does the initial support that the Expeditionary Force Command will provide include?
Since it is a base, we need to leave liaison specialists behind. Who will be in charge of this? How will they rotate?
There are too many details in the execution and a general direction is needed.
And all of these are what he, as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, is responsible for.
In fact, he didn't really need to be involved in direct command of the frontline war. These macro strategies were his main job.
Of course, war is still the most important part of the expedition.
Before going to the meeting, he received several more reports.
"Marshal, the frontline command of Mi Ting Star sent a contingency plan report. They believe that the planet itself is not worth saving, and suggest that the extermination order be executed before the planet is disintegrated."
In addition to this immediate message, Yan Fangxu heard another alarm in his miniature headset. At the edge of the three-dimensional star map, twelve more star systems simultaneously lit up distress signals.
"Marshal?" The adjutant who came up with the report looked at Yan Fangxu and saw that he didn't respond for a long time, so he couldn't help but urge him.
"For the time being, we will not execute the extermination order. We will focus on disintegrating the Chaos rebels. When the Phoenix Fifth Company went down, wasn't it because of the son of General Hawke, the 'normal man' executed by Archavon, that they were able to contact the ministers in their pseudo-royal court? This proves that there are still some loyalists on the planet Miding."
"Wait a minute, wait until I finish the meeting and finalize the safe zone policy, then we'll see how to handle this."
"By the way, forward the distress signals from the twelve star systems to the General Staff Headquarters and handle them as usual."
