Chapter 912, Small Primarch
Gu Hang finished reading the last report on the table. At this time, he used the pen and ink controlled by psychic power to write comments on twenty-four reports at the same time and put them aside.
At this point, today's government work is completed.
At least the paperwork was done.
But that doesn't mean Gu Hang can just sit back and relax.
In fact, he hasn't been idle for a long time.
He occasionally thinks about the time before he came to this universe. At that time, he felt heartbroken when he saw people working 996, and felt that he could never bear such a high intensity of work. What's the point of making a lot of money if you don't have time to rest and have fun?
At that time, he could never have imagined that one day he would be working as 007.
No kidding 007, this is real.
Gu Hang indeed hadn't had a rest for a long time.
His body, which had long been otherworldly, would not feel tired; his brain, which was filled with infinite spiritual energy, could always think at full power without making mistakes; his mental state could always be maintained at its best, and he would not become bored because of hard work...
That's the theory.
But in fact, day after day, year after year, even though he was not tired, he could not help but wonder, when the Emperor was around, he must have been like him, needing to do endless work, right? He was also a person who never got tired, right? How did he survive all these years?
Are you actually the same as me, feeling a little tired from time to time, and thinking, "Who cares? It's come to this point anyway, so what if I just enjoy myself?"
Don't even mention Slaanesh corruption.
Although this is something that needs to be watched out for, when such thoughts arise, what one wants to do is not indulge in lust. Or, even if one wants to indulge in lust, one does not have the energy to do so. One just wants to find a place to look at the sea, the sunset, the sunrise, the stars, and to empty one's mind, without thinking or doing anything. This is already a very luxurious thing.
In this regard, the so-called corrosion is different.
However, even so, Gu Hang would still quickly discard this thought after it came to mind.
The current situation of the Alliance, the current situation of the Empire, and the current situation of humanity do not allow him to slack off in the slightest.
His time is almost always full, without any rest.
Of course, he has a huge bureaucracy that constitutes the Union Government to execute his will. This bureaucracy has been able to maintain a certain degree of purity until now, thanks to the "plug-in", supervision, ideals, and system. Compared with the traditional bureaucracy of the empire, it has made great progress and can be called a group of administrative management.
He also has retired officers to take charge of the frontline war. They have professional skills and have accumulated enough experience in the long war. In most cases, they can do a good job.
In this situation, it seems that Gu Hang only needs to grasp the general direction and leave the specific work to his government and his army to carry out.
However, it is easy to say, but what does the "general direction" actually mean?
When a ruler's rule covers hundreds of thousands or even millions of worlds, and the population involved reaches hundreds of trillions, the so-called "big direction" and strategic thinking have become very complicated matters.
Gu Hang couldn't help but wonder whether the Emperor's statement of "handing over the human empire to mankind" had been carefully considered?
How can a mortal ruler, no matter how elite or powerful he is, rule such an empire on his own?
This is a problem that can never be solved by having more people rule. If we simply increase the number of rulers, according to human nature, the most likely result will not be that everyone works together, but that they will attack and hinder each other, which will in turn lead to a decrease in efficiency.
Just look at the High Lords on Terra.
Of course, it is best to have one person make the decisions.
But the question arises again, how can one "person" rule the entire human empire?
In Gu Hang's opinion, the political situation of the empire over the past ten thousand years is actually a great regression in governance. In essence, the empire has almost given up on centralization, and "imperial power does not go down to the countryside." The power of the empire rarely goes down to the planets, or even to the star regions. There are not many star-level administrative agencies that the central government of the empire can effectively and directly rule and manage.
In people's eyes, the imperial system is very similar to the feudal system, which allows the "princes" of all parties to become powerful. The planetary governors can decide all matters on their planets with a single word. They are the local emperors on the planets; the heads of star fields are like the powerful princes; the chairman of the universe field is like the leader of the princes in a region. This political situation is very easy to understand.
Since the central government of the empire cannot effectively rule directly, it must delegate power to the local areas. Then, it must try to win over/intimidate the leaders of the vassal states and the vassal states, and barely maintain this mess of the human empire for thousands of years.
To be honest, from this perspective, the Emperor has done his best.
If it weren't for his ascension and his great achievements in establishing the empire, which eventually formed a collective spiritual will community of the human empire with his deification as a religious belief, forcibly holding the empire together... Otherwise, the empire would have shattered into pieces long ago.
No matter how you evaluate the Empire's rule, how inefficient, dark, ignorant, corrupt... any negative words can be thrown at the Empire, but no matter what, the collective existence of the Empire is not possible. If the human empire is broken, it may not last for ten thousand years.
Will it become extinct? It's hard to say, but at least it will be completely shattered.
This is the value of the empire's existence.
What Gu Hang is doing in the alliance right now is to build an upgraded version of the human empire.
Gu Hang had once caught a glimpse of the empire during the Great Expedition period when the country was founded ten thousand years ago from Robert's fragments and some ancient documents from ten thousand years ago.
People call it a "glorious age" that "believes in reason and science", which is completely different from the current empire.
Gu Hang didn't know whether his alliance had reached the state of the empire during the Great Expedition ten thousand years ago, and he didn't know whether there was an even older, so-called golden age of mankind...
However, to achieve the current situation, Gu Hang has tried his best.
Of course, he knew that the alliance still had some imperfections, but no matter what, the Dark Side Expedition was constantly advancing, the economy within the alliance was developing, and the people's living standards were generally rising...
He couldn't have done any better.
What's more, while paying attention to economic construction, political construction, and military expeditions, Gu Hang also has a lot of other things to do.
For example, the secret research he conducted more than ten years ago has produced results.
Based on the genes of the phoenix, the final transplantation experiment conducted on Martins who he recalled was considered...semi-successful.
Gu Hang was more cautious and did not make any big moves, so he failed to reverse engineer and create the real 'Son of God' or 'Father of Genes'.
However, it also makes Martins somewhat special.
Gu Hang called it the 'small protozoan'.
