Chapter 225, Investment Alliance Thoughts

Faced with Grit's unwillingness and dissatisfaction, Gu Hang was helpless.

"Sister Grit, I am also very sorry. The contributions you and your sisters have made in the past year have been witnessed by people all over the planet. I am very grateful for your efforts, and I really hope that you can stay and work together to completely eliminate the heretical cultists of the Original Wrathful Owl Sect."

"But I can't be so selfish. You still have to communicate with Koroga 3. In the end, whether you decide to go or stay, I respect your choice."

Gu Hang's words were polite and sincere.

This is exactly what he thought in his heart.

Grit was unwilling, but she could only nod.

Before dialing the interstellar communication with Koroga 3, she said to Gu Hang seriously: "I will try to stay, at least until the time when the cultists are eliminated."

Gu Hang smiled and nodded.

...

When Grit was communicating with her hometown, Gu Hang left decently and did not listen.

After the nun grew up, her face was very ugly.

At this time, Gu Hang asked: "What's going on? Is the situation still serious?"

"Yes." Grit sighed, "Perhaps, Koroga 3 will face a war."

Gu Hang's face also sank.

He asked: "Is it similar to... the one in the history of Angry Owl Star?"

"It's better not to reach that level. We go back to prevent this from happening."

"Huh..."

Gu Hang exhaled.

He didn't know what happened on Koroga 3, but he didn't want that place to fall into a huge chaos.

The total population of the entire Tianma Star Region, excluding Koroga 3, and the remaining eight planets add up to a total of 40 billion people.

Once Koroga 3 is in turmoil, it means that the population of half of the star region is in turmoil. All kinds of business, trade, and exchanges will stagnate.

Gu Hang is still waiting for himself to become the head of the Gu family. Even if he is a puppet and the actual power is with his mother, it will not prevent him from pulling family resources to strengthen Angry Owl Star in the direction of interstellar trade.

Isn't that why he built the starport?

This is a huge economic benefit.

But the war is about to start.

If it is a small disturbance within the scope of the planet, it is still easy to deal with; but if it really spreads to the scale of the terrible war in the history of the Wrathful Owl Star in the past, it will require the mobilization of fleets for blockade, a large amount of material investment, and the continuous dispatch of interstellar troops to pacify the situation...

That's it. If things are not settled, trade may not be able to recover.

Moreover, if it is more serious, if this disaster spreads beyond Koroga 3, then the Wrathful Owl Star will probably bear the brunt.

From Koroga 3 to the Wrathful Owl Star, it only takes one interstellar jump, and there is a direct interstellar tunnel connecting them. If there is corruption, cult traitors, or even demons, spreading from Koroga 3 to the outside and expedition, then the Wrathful Owl Star will not be able to escape.

If the disaster that can destroy Koroga 3 spreads outward, the Wrathful Owl Star will not be able to resist.

This is an absolute gap in size. A planet with a population of 40 billion cannot resist a disaster. The Angry Owl Star, which is a thousand times smaller and has a population of only 40 million, cannot resist it.

Gu Hang still hopes that the problems on Koroga 3 can be properly solved.

However, there are not many things he can do in it.

Another thing that can only wait for the results.

However, at this time, it was Grit who comforted him: "Don't worry so much. On Koroga 3, there are 20 nests, each of which is so large and densely populated. There are too many places and people that law enforcement and administrative departments cannot supervise. There are all kinds of disgusting things happening there all the time, and the breeding of cults is one of them. This time, it is nothing more than a larger scale and a worse situation, and it may not really develop to the point where it cannot be reversed. I go back to solve this problem."

"I hope you can solve it properly." Gu Hang could only say this.

"Well, but..." Gorette seemed to have made a decision and said to Gu Hang: "But we don't have a ship to go back now. Bishop Zhao Qinghong said that he would send a ship of the state religion to pick us up on the Wrath of the Owl. It will take at least six or seven days to get here, plus the round trip... He told me that we can return to Korojia within a month. So, I'm thinking..."

"If we act in advance, will there be time in the middle for us to completely eradicate the original Wrath of the Owl?"

Obviously, the head nun was still unwilling.

She felt aggrieved and uncomfortable to leave without any results after working on it for a year.

So, there was such a proposal.

But Gu Hang was very calm.

"If it's possible, it would be best. But...we can't act too rashly. Now, do we have enough information? Is there enough time? Is the time ripe?"

Gorette said frankly: "It's not so ripe, but it's not impossible. Listen to me..."

She carefully told Gu Hang about their so-called recent big gains.

Gu Hang had been listening carefully, interrupting from time to time to ask questions.

During this process, he seriously considered whether the plan proposed by Grit was feasible.

If they can really solve this major problem before the nuns leave, and recover the northern region in one fell swoop, then this is obviously a good thing.

Although, he has formed a new team of heretic demon hunters, with a size of fifty people, and spent thousands of his gifts, half of this month's income, to let them take over the work of the combat nuns.

But this is a bottom-line solution after all.

The ability of the heretic demon hunters is not as strong as that of the combat nuns. They may barely catch up in investigation and exploration, but their combat effectiveness is far behind. Even if they are equipped with exoskeletons and the most outstanding individual equipment of the alliance, plus they have a variety of psychic talents, they are definitely not the opponent of the combat nuns.

These female brothers, if they fight one-on-one, I am afraid that only the Space Marines can suppress them. According to the ability in Gu Hang's soldier card system, they are at least T1-level super soldiers with a set of Emperor's blessing buffs.

In addition to combat effectiveness, the combat nuns have been investigating the cultists for a year and have been active in the northern region for so long. Whether it is the level of intelligence and the understanding of the local situation, they are not comparable to the heretic demon hunters who have just arrived.

All disadvantages.

If the matter can be resolved before the nuns leave, it would be the best.

After listening to Grit's detailed statement, Gu Hang thought in his heart:

"Your plan is really possible. Let me think about it carefully... Where is Thadius? Let my chief of staff come. I need to know how much force we can mobilize."

...

Five days later, the northern region, the polar industrial city.

Now, it is almost autumn. In the Qinggu area in the south, the residual heat is still there, and the staple food planting has reached the harvest season. The ground is golden, and people begin to work hard and happily.

This will be a good year.

In the north, it is already snowing in this season.

The first heavy snow made the area around the entire northern industrial city full of silver.

But this city alone, standing in the snow, is still gray and hot.

The Northland region is very large, larger than the southern and northern Qinggu regions combined. But the climate here is relatively harsher, and it was also greatly damaged in the world-destroying war. People's living environment is more severe, and the population is even more sparse.

According to the last population census of the Old Alliance during the second generation of governors a few years ago, the total population of such a large Northland should be only about three million.

In the Northland, the largest force is a company called the "Polar Industrial Group".

A large number of people in the Northland serve them. Or directly become their employees, this kind of status is relatively high, the remuneration is also high, and the living conditions are better; but there are also many informal employees, or simply just serve the surrounding industries of the Polar Industrial Group, which is not very good.

And there are no connections... Generally speaking, life is even poorer.

Polar Industrial Group has a relatively good industrial capacity, producing a variety of consumer goods and mechanical products, including vehicles, engineering machinery, and arms.

The Northland region itself has very little food production, with only a few greenhouse planting bases, but it is not enough to guarantee the food needs of millions of people.

The main food supply in the Northland region comes from imports from the Western Desert.

This gray-black city, which is still smoking in the winter snow due to the residual heat of metal smelting and industrial industries, is the headquarters of Polar Industry.

It originally had no name, but the industrial base was built here. Later, as the scale became larger and larger, more and more people worked in it, forming the appearance of an industrial city, with the name [Northern Industrial City].

At this moment, at the top of the industrial city, in an office with a rather luxurious interior decoration, Jerome Pierre was thinking about something with a gloomy face.

He is the current CEO of Polar Industry and can be regarded as the biggest boss in the Northland region.

Logically speaking, there are very few things that make him so upset now.

But recently, annoying things have come one after another.

The latest news is that an unknown but large army has appeared on the highway of the Central and Northern Province and is heading north.

To be honest, he has never been in a good mood since the establishment of the alliance.

Polar Industry has a relatively close cooperation with the Original Wrathful Owl Sect. Although he doesn't like that group of lunatics, he doesn't need to go too far with things that can be appeased with money. What's more, the cult group has been developing in the North for a longer time than them, and even established a relatively widespread belief at one time. In particular, a large number of low-level workers believe in this cult and believe that believing in the Original Wrathful Owl can go to the future of the Wrathful Owl Star after death, which is as prosperous as the past.

If they turn against the Original Wrathful Owl Sect, they will not have enough power to clear out the entire sect; secondly, their industry will be unstable; thirdly, it will be difficult for them to deal with revenge.

It is better to spend some money, "donate", maintain a good relationship, and spend money to keep safe.

After the relationship got better, they found that they could also delegate some of the messy and dirty work to the sect, which made it even more interesting.

But after the establishment of the alliance, their good days became a little bit difficult.

On the one hand, the industrial capacity of the new alliance inexplicably soared. In the past, they knew that Fuxing City was just a trade center and a hub for high-quality products. They imported a lot of agricultural products from it, and also sold their own industrial products through Fuxing City in exchange for raw materials and production materials...

And now, in a year and a half, according to the latest intelligence, the industrial city named Weixing City, which has sprung up not far from Fuxing City, has a population of more than two million industrial people, and its output has even exceeded that of the Polar Industrial City. Moreover, it can also produce a lot of things that they think are high-tech.

There are three "good things" that the Polar Industry can show off: Challenger tanks, helicopters, and fixed-wing jet aircraft.

Their production capacity for these three things is actually not high. They have sold some of them at very expensive prices before and earned relatively excessive profits.

On the Angry Owl, generally speaking, any force that can take out a Challenger and drive it out can almost have an absolute advantage in a regional conflict.

But now... that's far from it.

The army of the New Alliance is equipped with Wind Falcons, Walker armored vehicles, and Lion tanks...

Isn't this much better than what their Polar Industry has made?

And the "earth guns and cannons" they made are no longer wanted by the Alliance, because they have better products, and the cost may be cheaper than theirs.

The sales of arms, which have the largest profit, have dropped sharply - especially after the eastern provinces were also recovered by the Alliance, there are even fewer customers.

Fortunately, the trade with the Western Desert has not been greatly affected.

The Alliance has considerable restrictions on the export of arms, and not much is sold. For those oasis lords in the Western Desert who want to strengthen their armaments, their Polar Industry is still a good choice.

Although it is also a painful thing to compete with the Blackbird Heavy Industry in the west...

And the group of people who call themselves battle nuns running to the north also gave him a headache.

They have fought with those cultists under his industry. As a result, many settlements that were originally affected by the polar industry have been included in the jurisdiction of the so-called Central North Province of the Alliance.

But they don't dare to get angry.

What's the matter? Do they dare to fight with the Alliance?

On the contrary, Pierre, the president of Polar, is most worried that the Alliance will suddenly think of regaining the North.

If that's the case...

To be honest, there is nothing we can do.

Pierre can clearly recognize that he will definitely lose if he fights.

From production capacity to existing military strength to war potential... There is no advantage in the North.

And there is no ally.

Moreover, there is no way to get careless - they are nominally a member of the Alliance.

There is really a little hope, that is, taking advantage of the hostile relationship between the Alliance and the original Angry Owl Sect, relying more on the popular base of that cult in the North, and engaging in a people's war with the Alliance.

But...

Why bother?

Rather than making such a strategy with a low success rate and huge cost, it is better to vote for the Alliance.

The thought of voting for the Alliance will open up the world in an instant!

In fact, he also has this opportunity.

The fighting sisters contacted him more than a month ago, and the reason was probably to ask him to help, provide clues about the original wrathful owl sect, and even help them track down the evil cultists.

The advantage is that these fighting sisters are still very prestigious in the Alliance, and it is easier to contact the subsequent Polar Industrial Group to "return" to the Alliance.

He has been getting closer to those sisters recently.

But I have decided to vote, why did the Alliance suddenly dispatch a large army to the north?
