The Silver Judges hadn't yet entered the Dragonhawk Star Domain, and Gu Hang already knew about it.
They were coming with an overwhelming and undisguised presence, broadcasting their intentions far and wide, and even a ssage requesting the Alliance's cooperation with the investigation had been delivered into Gu Hang's hands.
After receiving this ssage, Gu Hang sighed.
What was ant to co, would always co.
Of course, he did not want the Tribunal to enter his territory, especially not a Tribunal with hostile intent.
Gu Hang carefully pondered the possibility of refusing the Silver Tribunal entry into Alliance territory.
It seed unlikely.
By doing so, he would appear guilty whether he was or not.
The Fury Fla Battle Group would imdiately have the most reasonable excuse for war, and the Silver Tribunal would join in.
If it was just that, it might have been fine since they were already enemies, bound to fight sooner or later. But the key point is, after providing a perfect rationale for war, all imperial forces that could have assisted Gu Hang would no longer be able to help him, and would involuntarily beco his enemies instead.
By then, he wouldn't just be fighting the Fury Fla Battle Group and the Silver Tribunal, but rather an unrestrained Fury Fla Battle Group that could fully mobilize all its resources, while he would be battling alone.
That would definitely not do.
Gu Hang abandoned this idea.
He could only allow the Silver Tribunal to enter.
And since he couldn't stop them, Gu Hang had so ways to deal with it.
Mainly in two aspects, and he could use both simultaneously.
One was about the inspection itself.
The other was beyond the inspection.
Firstly, regarding the inspection itself, based on various reports and statents, Gu Hang believed there might still be room for negotiation.
The Silver Tribunal was not subordinate to Iron Fury Stone; they could at best be considered to be in a good relationship, sharing common interests, akin to allies.
They were still the 'Tribunal' and must adhere to its rules. Quite a number of Judges were indeed idealists.
This ant that they would accept Iron Fury Stone's invitation to help, serve as Iron Fury Stone's umbrella, but not subordinates, not nodding along with whatever Iron Fury Stone said.
And if one believed that the Silver Tribunal would judge to a certain extent fairly, then there really was a point in trying.
However, what Gu Hang was most troubled about was exactly this.
If the Alliance truly had no issues and could withstand scrutiny, he would not have worried about others coming with malice.
True gold fears no fire!
The key was, there were too many matters within the Alliance that couldn't withstand detailed investigation.
Furthermore, not just the nonsensical accusations from Erso that Gu Hang was worried about. It was the multitude of problems within the Alliance itself.
Where did the various industries and technologies that rapidly developed within the Alliance in such a short ti fra co from?
Why is the training of the Alliance's soldiers so efficient?
How did the number of Phoenixes inflate to hundreds or thousands in just a few short years?
How did the political entity known as the 'Alliance' gain legitimacy? Does Galaraldo have the authority to make the decision for such a multi-planet political union? Are all the planets that have joined the Alliance to date in accordance with imperial statutes? Are the 'Seven Horse Frawork' and the 'Economic Community Act' legal?
Even if these are all legal, the Alliance is replicating its political system on every affiliate planet, sidelining every Planetary Governor, an approach completely inconsistent with the basic political structure of the Empire. Does the Alliance have this right?
If a whole squad of professional Tribunal officials, even those truly impartial without the influence of the Fury Fla Battle Group, were to investigate thoroughly, it would cause Gu Hang to sweat profusely.
For these 'issues,' Gu Hang had actually made many preparations, with various explanations. So could withstand scrutiny; others not quite so much. A detailed investigation would always be risky.
He had to face it with a tough face.
Specific counterasures were already arranged by Gu Hang. This would be a high-priority task for the Alliance moving forward, with all preparations underway. Once the Silver Tribunal's Fleet arrived, they would begin execution.
As for the work beyond the inspection, no one else could help, and Gu Hang had to take care of it himself.
He started to frequently communicate with two parties: Zuo Zhaofeng and Bochoya Galaraldo.
Who doesn't have a patron after all?
Maybe soone's patron is even bigger!
And Gu Hang's efforts started to bear so fruits.
From Zuo Zhaofeng's side, the Cosmic Domain Chair provided Gu Hang with no small amount of help.
Initially, he honestly had no particular feeling towards Gu Hang. Upon taking office, he was a senior official of the Empire, and compared to Gu Hang, who was then only mingling at the Star Region Level, was Gu Hang of any significance to him? The difference in grade and class was too great.
But the reason he helped Gu Hang was purely because of Galaraldo, his most important political ally, who ntioned Gu Hang several tis, asking him to take good care of the young man.
Under such circumstances, Zuo Zhaofeng naturally ca to see Gu Hang as one of his own in the sa political faction, and it beca natural to provide assistance.
Later, the Iron Teeth War in the Dragonhawk Star Domain also greatly attracted the attention of the Space Domain Governnt.
The Space Domain Governnt certainly paid close attention to the war in the Dragonhawk Star Domain. The Green Skin crisis that suddenly erupted here was indeed frightening. The Eastern Cosmos Domain was also fearful of the Iron-Tooth Clan, which had swept across the entire Dragonhawk Star Domain in just a few months, fearing it would turn into a more vast and uncontrollable Green Tide, and spill out beyond the Star Domain's bounds, affecting other Star Domains, and even the entire Cosmos Domain.
