Chapter 382, ​​rebel!

"Queen of the Iron Curtain, long time no see."

Ispsy waved her hand and said: "There is no queen anymore, just call me Ispsy."

"I dare not be so disrespectful. Even now we are in a foreign land, but in Promise City, you are still the queen."

"I'm just doing something for the Governor." Ispsy said, "Thanks to the support of all parties, Promise City can be the first to complete the initial reform of the hive city after Mingyan City. You have also been a big help in this process. No You King Rika yourself, as well as the several Titans and knights led by you personally, will scare those disobedient people, and I will face more troubles."

The person in front of Ispsy is her fellow countryman, another royal family from the Black Arrow Star, the current king of the Kingdom of Pampos, and the leader of the Alliance National Knights.

In comparison, Ispsy was once the ruler of a country on Black Arrow. Her status was not inferior at all. Now she is the manager of a hive city on Koroga.

The two of them were not familiar with each other before. After all, Eureka was just a prince back then, and Ispsy was already the queen of the Stefano Kingdom. They had only heard of such a number one figure and had no special contact with them.

But now, when they are both in a foreign land, and they all have similar identities and backgrounds: they were kings in the past and now serve in the alliance, they feel a sense of sympathy for each other.

By chance, Eureka's mission came to the Promise City managed by Ispsy. After the formal mission was completed, he came up with the idea of ​​coming to see his 'fellow fellow', which led to the current meeting.

Eureka said: "Since you don't want me to call you 'Queen', don't call me 'King' anymore. Now here, there are only two people fighting for the alliance. The only difference between us is the way we fight." The methods are different. I drive the knight mecha, and you fight as a manager."

"Yes, you are right." After Ispsy agreed, she thought about it again and couldn't help but said a word of advice: "But even though the Governor has given us complete freedom, we ourselves There needs to be some self-awareness."

"No matter how upright we are in our hearts, our identity dictates that we cannot act arbitrarily, so we need to be cautious under the alliance's system. We should not have this meeting. Some people in the alliance will To criticize this may even cause some people on our home planet who cannot see clearly the reality and future to have some thoughts in their minds that they shouldn't have."

Eureka rubbed her face, feeling a little tired.

He said: "I know that in the past, I have encountered people who ridiculed me as a traitor and betrayed my motherland; I have also encountered people who said that I have evil intentions and have no memory of my motherland... I fully understand that this is our identity. Destined. We are both former rulers and current powers within the Alliance...but is this our sin? I never understood this, I..."

"Okay." Ispsy raised her hand to stop Eureka from continuing, "I don't want to continue this topic anymore, let's talk about something else."

Eureka breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'm the one who said too much. We really shouldn't talk too much on this topic. Let's talk about something else and be happy. I heard that, from the name of Yancheng, Places like Promise City have moved a lot of people to our hometown and to the Raging Owl Star?"

"Yes, this is indeed a work that hive cities all over the country are doing persistently. In the past two years since we took control of the planet Koroga, a total of more than 1.5 billion people are estimated to have migrated to Among the two stars, the Raging Owl Star has a larger population, about one billion; the Black Arrow Star has a relatively smaller population, only 500 million."

Eureka was dumbfounded, and after a long time, she finally recovered: "I thought about it a lot, but I didn't expect so much... Then wouldn't the Raging Owl Star be all Korokja people? Even the Black Arrow Star, At least half of them are Korokans..."

"You're right."

"The Alliance...isn't it worried? With such a huge change in the population structure...won't there be objections from people on the two planets themselves?"

"Of course there are, but it's not as big as imagined. There are too few people on Raging Owl, and too many new factories have been built, which requires a large population. How many opinions can the indigenous people have? Theirs The quality of life will not change in any way because of this. On the contrary, the growth of population will bring about a larger market, more low-end labor force, and a more dynamic society..."

"After the Raging Owl had a large enough population, they even set their sights on the dead places of the past - the other two continents full of waste energy storms. There may not be factories, densely populated settlements, or agricultural production there. conditions, but the waste energy itself can be regarded as valuable. The waste energy storm that enveloped the two abandoned continents of the Raging Owl Star has calmed down more and more in the past few years, and after the waste energy storm stopped , the Linghua gas field will most likely reappear. Both continents require more people to fill and develop."

"Similarly on the Black Arrow Star, the newly arrived Korokja people entered the farms of the past lords, current farmers, and farm owners, adding more people and more arable land. The former nobles were very happy. They There is cheaper and more abundant labor again, even though they have changed from landlords in the past to managers who distribute benefits based on rank. But the 'achievements' they need for upgrading are based on output, scale, and management. It is measured by things like population. Having more labor force and being able to cultivate more land that was originally unable to be cultivated is certainly something that makes them happy."

"As for ordinary serfs... they are now agricultural workers. But no matter what they are called and when they are called, their opinions are never the most important."

"What's more, most of the Korokja people who migrated to the Black Arrow Star either entered the factories of the four major industrial centers; or they built many new farms and went to the borders of various kingdoms to cultivate land; you know, in your Has a freshwater factory center been established on the coastline of the Kingdom of Pampos? Around this new industrial center, multiple industrial cities have been built. Seawater desalination, construction of water resources transmission pipelines, and the newly built star port in the past few years. It is used as a freshwater export to relieve the water pressure on Koluojia; many three-dimensional farms have been established around the resources created by seawater desalination, using soilless planting technology to produce a large amount of food..."

When talking about these things, the 'Iron Curtain Lady' became eloquent.

Especially when it comes to the subsequent changes in Black Arrow Star, they are even more precious.

Eureka listened attentively, and at the end, she said: "You still care about Black Arrow Star."

Ispsy was silent for a moment, and this time she did not avoid it: "Yes, of course, that is my hometown after all. Since I ascended to the throne of queen, I have no family, and now I have no family to tie me down. Yes, there are only two daughters, and they are both studying at the Comprehensive Academy on the Raging Star. The only thing left that I can tie them to is my mother planet and my homeland."

"Do you think the changes to your home planet and homeland are good?"

"Of course, the homeland is becoming more and more powerful under the rule of the alliance, there is no doubt about it." Ispsy's words were clear and decisive.

Eureka let out a sigh of relief. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the communicator he wore suddenly rang at this moment.

He hung up his headphones, listened to a few words, and his expression quickly became serious.

He said to Ispsy: "Queen of the Iron Curtain, thank you for taking the time to chat with me today. But I have to go now, there is an urgent task to gather."

Ispsy stood up and said, "You're welcome."

"Aren't you curious what's going on?"

"Curious, but I know that you shouldn't know what you shouldn't ask or say. If it's up to me to know, I will know it soon, right?"

"Yes." Eureka said, "You will indeed get news about this matter soon, so it doesn't matter if I tell you earlier: the Fachers family has rebelled."

Ispsy was really shocked now.

"Rebellion? Is it the rebellion I understand?"

"Yes, they betrayed the Empire."

"This is... terrible news, no matter who it is."

"I have to go, bye, ma'am."

"Goodbye."

After bidding farewell to Eureka, Espressi sat at her desk, digesting the news of the Farches family's rebellion. Then she picked up paper and pen and began to write a report with the title:

Communication report with Commander Eureka of the Alliance National Knights.

...

Gu Hang glanced at the report, but he didn't pay much attention to the content.

Such a trivial matter is not worthy of his much attention.

Whether it was Ispsy's little thoughts or Eureka's little emotions, they were nothing to him.

Isn't it normal to feel a little sad?

As long as he concentrates on things, Gu Hang won't bother to worry about those thoughts.

Of course, just because he doesn't take it seriously doesn't mean that no one in the league takes it seriously. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, under the legal agency, will pay attention to this matter. The instructions Gu Hang wrote on the report document also attracted the attention of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.     Subsequently, he turned his attention to truly valuable things.

Fachus Rebellion.

This matter was promoted by him, but the current situation still made him somewhat unexpected.

In the original plan, although the possibility of Faches rebellion was mentioned, it was considered unlikely.

Yet, that's what happened.

More than a year ago, the working group from the sector government made great concessions when measuring development and demographics of the alliance.

It's definitely not possible to commit fraud. The empire's tax revenue needs to be guaranteed. Officials from the Imperial Taxation Department will also conduct reviews and even on-site inspections. Once something is found to be wrong, the district government will be in big trouble.

But even if we follow the regulations, there are too many loopholes that can be exploited.

The development speed of Koroga, Raging Owl Star, and Black Arrow Star are all controlled at level 1. This is actually unreasonable, but it is legal.

The shipyard of Angry Owl is a place with huge potential that can be seen at a glance, but after all, when the sector government came to conduct accounting, the shipyard was still under expansion. Although a part of it will be expanded soon, and even cargo ships like the Flying Dolphin can be built, it is not finished yet.

The Raging Owl Star, which might have been set to level 2 or even level 3 development, just made a time lag and was controlled at level 1.

The same is true for Black Arrow Star. It has been in Gu Hang's hands for five years. It was originally a purely agricultural planet. Now its agricultural output has become more developed due to the intervention of industrialization; with the establishment of several industrial centers, it has a strong industrial output. It is also possible to set it to level 2.

But he still relaxed his grip and maintained level 1 development.

In terms of population, there was a time lag before Koroga's Great Migration. The Raging Owl Planet was deemed to have only 200 million people - although the number increased to one billion the following year; the Black Arrow Planet was deemed to have 600 million people. , and then expanded to one billion people a year later.

As for Koroga, it is reasonable to maintain the development level at level 1, but in terms of population, the sector government almost fully recognizes the alliance's statistics.

Currently, the officially registered population of Koruga has dropped to 364 billion. The fall of an entire hive city in Fino City, as well as the population losses caused by wars, plagues, and cult activities that lasted for several years, were huge. It is conservatively estimated that the loss of two billion people.

The other two billion lost were due to the population reduction caused by a large number of population transactions and exchange of resources during the period when the Fachers family controlled Koroga.

From this perspective, during the years when the Fachers family was in power, they sold people worth 10 billion tax dollars.

If 10 billion is thrown at it, why should Koroga change?

but no.

First of all, Farches didn't sell as much as 5 billion. There were a lot of people who took advantage of the situation, and even Gu Hang was one of them. They didn't buy people for 1 tax coins per person. The most was Purchased in tax coins or even at a lower price.

In addition, the Fachers family has done a lot of dirty work. Whether it is human sales or investment in Koruga, there are problems with the accounts.

And this has become Faches' evidence of crime in the past year.

A year ago, the sector government made huge concessions to Gu Hang on the issue of additional taxes and the ownership of Koruga No. 1, in exchange for Gu Hang's help.

Gu Hang brought out the evidence from Blackbird Heavy Industry. The core members of the Fachers family were related to the omnic rebellion, and there was evidence that the Fachers family knew about this;

Gu Hang compiled the accounts of the past years when Koroga was under the control of Falches, and was recognized by the sector government. He believed that the Falches family had made huge illegal profits during their rule on Koroga 3. , corruption was serious, and it directly led to the serious deterioration of Koroga's problem, which in turn led to Koroga's almost annihilation crisis. If this were not the case, there would be no need for the Alliance to take over and implement six years of war zone formation.

According to statistical data, the Fachers family caused the empire to lose more than 100 billion tax coins on Koroga - don't worry about the statistics, anyway, the sector government has determined this, and it has also been confirmed by the planetary government of Koroga .

No matter how the Fachers family 'quibbles', this report has already been handed in.

Gu Hang played his own role in this, and he made a special call to Lois; at the same time, as someone who parachuted into the Tianma Sector, he was once a government official in the Star Territory, and even belonged to the 'Parliamentary Faction', an important political faction in the Star Territory. Martinelli also launched his own relationship.

This report of a loss of 100 billion yuan was recognized, and the Star Territory Government issued a punishment order to the Faches family, with a fine and compensation of 100 billion tax coins, which must be paid within ten years.

There are also some small actions, such as the tax determination, the district government also dealt harshly to Faches. Originally three planets with level 2 development were all recognized as level 3 development.

The three planets of Faches have a total population of 20 billion. The annual tax amount was originally 30 billion, but now it has increased to billion; in ten years, they will have to pay a fine of billion. This means that Faches will have to hand over billion tax coins to the empire within ten years.

This is killing me.

According to estimates, if the entire population on Faches Three Stars does not eat or drink, they can save 200 billion in ten years.

But how is it possible not to eat or drink?

This is definitely a blow, and it is meant to push the Falchers family to death - this is what the sector government means.

But even so, launching a rebellion is the most unreasonable situation.

First, they still have room for political activity. There is also a way to not pay, but it is the most outrageous thing to hold your neck and start a rebellion. They could delay the money, mobilize their political power, keep crying and threatening.

It is very likely that the Star Territory and Space Territory governments will not want to be meddlesome and greedy, and will lower the fines. If you really force a rebellion, the rebellion on three planets will be quite difficult.

The sustainability of the empire must be completed. This is not just Gu Hang's nonsense. It is a fact to a certain extent. Rebellions are coming one after another, threats from aliens, threats from demons, problems with the empire's own system... Although the empire is large and strong, it also has too many problems to face. If Faches really rebels, then let alone fines and taxes will not be collected, and how much will it cost to counter the rebellion?

It's better to stay calm, lower the fine, and make a fortune.

Secondly, for Faqisi, even if the money does not fall by a dime, 1300 billion in ten years will be painful, and it can even be considered as damaging to the foundation, but it is not completely impossible to get out.

They have to tighten their belts. They have controlled Fachus Samsung for so many years. It is impossible that they have no savings. In the next few years, if they search harder and work hard to scrape together, they can really collect more than 100 billion.

However, they chose the most violent method: I have rebelled!

But Gu Hang could also understand the reason.

They don't really want to be independent. Instead, they are more aggressive in promoting talks and waiting for peace.

In addition, the alliance's diplomatic and intelligence efforts this year also played a key role.

The star district government and the star domain government may not want Fache to really rebel, but...

Gu Hang thought.

I originally wanted to pay back 1k, but I feel too embarrassed to say more than a thousand words... forget it, I still owe 13k!
