Chapter 599: Chapter 347, I Am the Korolya Governor_2
anwhile, whether Gu Hang was capable of achieving all this still left doubts in people’s hearts.
Therefore, that phased goal had beco inevitable.
Not losing Mingyan City was the bare minimum. Now, since no one else could solve the problem, they let Gu Hang try, throwing the ss at him to see if he could save it. If Mingyan City were to be swallowed up by the Nest Capital, that would an failure, and Gu Hang would likely be dismissed imdiately.
In fact, although Lois didn’t explicitly state it, Gu Hang could guess that the relevant reports had probably already reached higher levels. The Star Domain Governnt and possibly even the higher level Space Domain Governnt were probably making preparations for both outcos.
If Gu Hang failed to solve the issue, the Star Domain Governnt would abandon the wishful thinking that Korolya could be settled with the current forces at hand. Afterward, whether it ant giving up the frontline battle or seeking assistance from the Space Domain Governnt preparing for a Revelation-level battle, mobilizing hundreds of millions from the Star Realm Army, more fleets, and even forces like the Tribunal, State Church Fleet, and specialized forces such as the Interstellar Warrior Battle Group—they would resolve the Korolya issue.
But by that ti, it would have nothing to do with Gu Hang.
...
The loser should step aside.
Expecting the empire to intervene and then to profit from the leftovers… Gu Hang felt he didn’t have the political clout to manage that.
And if the situation beca even worse, such as if the Space Domain and Star Domain governnts assessed that they couldn’t mobilize sufficient forces to quell the rebellion, then a small chance remained that they would directly issue the Extinction Order.
The destruction of Korolya was far preferable to it becoming a Great Demon’s lair, continuously exporting its influence to the outside.
For Gu Hang, his window of opportunity was just a few months.
Gazing at the surface of Korolya III, his mind continuously recalled various data about the planet, while switching to Spiritual Vision to check the subspace conditions.
His brain was always in motion, constantly refining the plan he had co up with at the beginning.
Previously, he had contacted the Alliance Governnt on Rage Owl Star through the Star Language Tower on the starship. Subsequently, three key figures would bring their teams to Korolya at top speed.
These three individuals were Alliance Chief Justice Lambert Hodgson, who would bring a group of Demon Hunters and Anti-Corruption Bureau officials. With a population of three billion in Mingyan City and forty billion on Korolya, Gu Hang needed to utilize the potential of this world, which was impossible without dealing with the existing administrative system. He couldn’t replace all Korolya people with officials from the Alliance. First, the Alliance didn’t have that many officials to spare, and second, the administrative personnel dropped in from above were not familiar with Korolya and would struggle to be effective imdiately.
However, Gu Hang was particularly distrustful of Korolya’s existing administrative system, both their capabilities and attitudes.
That was where Lambert and his Anti-Corruption Departnt ca in.
It was impossible to turn around Korolya’s climate imdiately and create a highly efficient and corruption-free administrative system, but at least to ensure these people would accurately execute Gu Hang’s will.
Major General Tadeusz, the head of the Alliance Military and Political Departnt, would bring a large number of military commissioners. At that ti, the Star Realm Army wouldn’t need his supervision, but Korolya’s enormous native Defense Forces required restructuring to truly improve their combat effectiveness.
Phoenix Battalion Leader Matins would bring the freshly numbered Phoenix Battalion, which now barely exceeded a hundred mbers. The size of these Interstellar Warriors was already equivalent to a typical Battle Group’s company.
Many Battle Groups, unless facing a high-intensity battle, wouldn’t gather all their forces in one place. So would stay to guard their headquarters while the rest followed the empire’s assignnts or responded to support requests at their discretion, dispatching so of their troops according to the situation.
And this “so troops” generally ant a company-sized unit.
A hundred-mber company was already a significant independent unit for Interstellar Warriors in action.
The Phoenix had revived to this extent, and it was actually enough.
It was only lacking in so “foundations,” such as the absence of Dreadnought chs, heavy-duty vehicles exclusive to Interstellar Warriors, and the like. But those could be supplented by the Alliance’s Land Forces.
These were the “key individuals” that Gu Hang would need moving forward.
Of course, it wasn’t just them.
Following that, the Alliance would send a large number of administrative personnel, transport a trendous amount of material, and even ard forces, to participate directly in the conflict. However, given the massive demand for transportation, they had to wait until the Alliance had prepared all these items and personnel and the Gu Comrcial Firm’s fleet was also ready.
At the latest, within three months, everything that was supposed to arrive must be in place—that was the requirent Gu Hang had made to the Alliance Governnt.
Under the leadership of Pri Minister Oseina, the Alliance Governnt had already begun to operate at full capacity.
…
After landing, Gu Hang moved into the Governor’s residence on Korolya, welcoming its third occupant in recent years.
In Rage Owl Star and Heijian Star, Gu Hang also had governor’s residences.
The Governor’s residence on Rage Owl Star was nothing to speak of; it was two floors taken from the top of the Old Alliance Parliant building, with the governnt offices still below, small and dilapidated, only recently having had the chance to be renovated.
As for the governor’s residence on Heijian Star, the Alliance Governnt had initially planned to repurpose a certain nation’s palace for the esteed governor, but Gu Hang had declined.
Those palaces should either remain as historical monunts or serve as governnt buildings. As for his residence, a simple, plain white house built in the suburban area of Pincer City sufficed. Adjacent to it was the Central Governnt of the Alliance on Heijian Star—spacious enough and conveniently located, which was all that mattered.
Leading by example, precisely because Gu Hang himself advocated frugality, practicality, and efficiency, the general atmosphere within the Alliance was similar—at least publicly, in official settings.
However, the situation on Korolya was starkly different.
The Governor’s residence situated in the upper district of Mingyan City epitomized opulence.
It primarily featured gold as its main color, complented by red and purple, lending an aura of grandeur and elegance. Countless exquisite, handcrafted reliefs filled the inside and outside of the building, remarkably intricate.
Fine lacquer-coated sculptures and ornants along with skillful paintings as decorations, made the architecture exceptionally rich in detail.
Indoor fountains and pools were also ubiquitous.
Maintained at constant temperature and humidity, the environnt, although not as stringent as so tech research labs, was kept at the optimal level for human habitation.
The governor’s residence covered a vast area, even larger than the largest palace on Heijian Star, and this was only the governor’s dwelling, not even the seat of the Korolya Planetary Governnt.
Within this residence, there were also tens of thousands of ‘staff mbers.’
They were servants, attendants, and various kinds of ‘cultural workers.’
Among them, there were many art troupes of all sizes.
Symphonic orchestras, opera troupes, song and dance ensembles, clown troupes, drama troupes… These artists almost exclusively served the governor. Accompanying these troupes, there were also nurous support staff and attendants.
Even in these most perilous tis, these individuals still ‘steadfastly’ held their positions.
Gu Hang had never dealt with such extravagances, and for a while, he didn’t even know how many resources were needed to maintain such a palace and its countless attendants?
Gu Hang never denied the value of art, but he rejected the value of the art he currently witnessed.
Gu Hang shook his head but didn’t imdiately take any action.
Disbanding these art troupes straight away wouldn’t recover the resources already spent.
Since the money had already been spent and couldn’t be refunded, they had to be utilized to their fullest extent.
At Gu Hang’s request, these troupes began to stage various ‘dramas.’
Robust military anthems, plays reflecting the people’s resistance against cults, and dramas extolling the frontier warriors…
The demands had been made; the specifics were left to the artists. anwhile, how to fully promote these works and performances to all social strata within the scope of Mingyan City would be the task of the Alliance Propaganda Departnt officials soon to arrive on Korolya.
Subsequently, Gu Hang, stationed at the Governor’s residence, extended invitations to the important figures from all sectors of Mingyan City.
