Chapter 878: Advancing into the Universe and Returning to the Heart
In the Forward Ceremony, people coming from all over the Forward Universe make up the majority of the participants, but not all.
The other half are from the alliance.
Many officials from all over the alliance came to Ankachi VIII.
They are also the local dignitaries in various parts of the advancing universe, and they are the targets that we should focus on making friends with.
Although Gu Hang is the leader of everyone, he is far away after all. He is related to everyone, but in fact it is difficult to explain the relationship to anyone.
However, these officials from the alliance are different.
They are the real powerful people who will be arranged to serve as officials in various places in the forward universe.
It is actually hard to say what the local dignitaries think of these people from the alliance.
Not particularly welcoming anyway.
After all, if you are living a safe and secure life as a local emperor, who would want to have someone from the alliance around you or even over your head to share power?
However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the Forward Universe had actually now completely fallen into the control of the Alliance with the end of the Ohmgeria War.
There are only eight star regions in the entire universe. Needless to say, Omgeria was taken over by the Alliance in a brutal war - there are actually not many living people in the entire star region.
The five star regions surrounding Omgeria are suffering from the invasion of Greenskins and Zerg. Without an alliance to solve the problem, they will all perish.
This is already six star regions. There are two more. Although the threat from Omgeria is not direct to them, they can also pay attention to it and know the severity of the war in Omgeria. The victory of the alliance made them feel relieved and thoroughly established the legitimacy of the alliance among them.
The concept of orthodoxy sounds a bit abstract, but it is very real at this moment.
The Alliance has Gu Hang, who nominally holds the highest official position in the dark side of the Empire. The Alliance is the only human force in the entire dark side of the Empire that has declared to the entire universe that it will save all the lost worlds of the Empire and launch a dark side expedition.
These alone are actually enough. For many worlds struggling in the darkness, the Alliance's Dark Side Expedition is almost their only hope.
What is even more convincing is the victory in the war.
The alliance was really fighting. It started from the Spider Web Universe and the Eastern Universe, and fought outwards to the worlds one by one. This battle has lasted for decades, and now it has conquered five or six universes.
The duration, scale, and results of this campaign are probably no less impressive than the most magnificent foreign expedition of the Human Empire that took place in the past one or two hundred years, namely the Solar Expedition led by the Sun Lord, and may even be more significant.
After all, many people in history have criticized that the Solar Expedition was a waste of manpower, a pursuit of quick success and instant benefits, and a waste of the foundation of the empire in an effort to gain face in expanding territory. Any place conquered would require continuous investment and blood loss.
However, the dark expedition launched by Gu Hang and the alliance truly recovered the human homeland and saved countless subjects of the human empire from darkness.
The meaning is different.
Not to mention, specifically in the forward space, they were undoubtedly freed from a huge bomb that would have blown them to pieces after the explosion.
When these things accumulate together, who can resist?
Who can say no to the alliance?
Does not exist.
The dignitaries from all over the country rushed over eagerly. Even though they had heard from the rumors in recent years that the alliance would directly rule all places and form new governments for the universe, star fields, star regions, and even planets, they had to accept it.
It must be accepted from the perspective of legitimacy, and even more so from the perspective of respecting the alliance's military strength.
What they have to do is to accept all of this and see if they can work hard to fight for their own interests within the big framework established by the alliance.
These alliance officials who are about to take office will be the key communication targets.
Their primary goal is to find a way to preserve their own power as much as possible during the upcoming major changes.
But they soon discovered that the Alliance was not a force that only ate and did not spit out, only plundered and did not build.
The Alliance is not the same as the Imperial Center.
As long as they regard themselves as part of the alliance, they will be able to find their own place within the big framework of the alliance.
The alliance not only brought officials to manage them and collect taxes from them, but also brought development opportunities for the alliance as a big family.
After the Cataclysm, the extremely chaotic and unsmooth interstellar navigation and communication became smooth again after the construction of the Thunder Torch Towers. They were surprised to find that if they followed the pie drawn by the alliance, their future market would not only be their own "homeland", but also tens of thousands of alliance worlds to the east and north of the star map.
At the same time, their own development has also benefited greatly from the broader trade activities and closer economic and political connections.
The first ones to rejoice were the caravans from the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.
Although they have to accept the general management of the alliance, their market scope has undoubtedly increased a lot.
Secondly, the power of the Mechanicus. There are already quite a few Forge Worlds under the control of the Alliance, and they are all coordinated by the Alliance's Mechanicus Management Association. Under the framework of this management association, they are certainly not as important as they were in the Empire, where they were one of the "double-headed eagles". The entire Alliance only has Gu Hang as the head.
However, the closer technical exchanges, as well as the Mingyang Sect, Alfonzo Sect, and Alliance Central Research Institute, which are the core organizations within the Mechanical Management Association, have many black boxes, and the "standard technologies" developed on this basis are extremely enviable.
This kind of open technological exchange, which is no longer like the past where each forging world was cautiously hostile and competitive with each other, can benefit everyone.
In addition to technology, the "religious" side of the Mechanicus is also gradually undergoing some changes.
They still believed in the God of All Things, believing that the God Emperor of the Human Empire and the God of All Things were two aspects of the same existence. But if the new state religion of the alliance began to gradually promote Gu Hang as a saint, or even above a saint, and the identity of the God Emperor as an envoy on earth, they also began to have some embryonic forms of belief in Gu Hang.
They believed that Gu Hang, who was able to produce so many black boxes and help all members of the Mechanicus to study the technology of the golden age in the past, was in a sense also an incarnation of the God of All Machines.
Apart from these two parties, the original armies and navies in various places had already accepted the command of the Alliance Expeditionary Force Headquarters after the baptism of war. What remained now was a more natural and logical formal reorganization.
In the past, local governments, under the coordination of the headquarters, worked hard to supply resources to the war front and arrange production. Now, they can also smoothly transform to the new alliance-style government model.
Government officials from all walks of life can remain in their original positions or be transferred to work on other planets or star regions.
Many discerning people can see that this is a means of decentralizing power and throwing sand everywhere. But... this is a real way to get promoted and make money, who can resist it?
Not to mention, the alliance also made a big promise.
Just like many alliance officials who came from the Magre universe, the Guangjin universe, and the Adan universe, people who moved forward could also serve as officials in other places, or even enter the alliance central government.
This gives many local bureaucratic families the opportunity to reach a higher level.
