Chapter 525, ‘Ronglin’ and ‘Golden Wing’

Jason Morgan, as the governor of the star region appointed by the Alliance, is different from the heads of the Empire's regular system who are similar to paperhangers and have no actual power.

Under the Alliance system, it is emphasized that each level of government should play the role of the government. Moreover, the planetary governor of the Alliance is not like the regular Imperial planetary governor, who can fully manage the planet. The government and the army of the Alliance are separate. The construction of the army is the responsibility of the military and political departments under the management of Thadius. Even the planetary defense force - the Alliance calls it the Allied Forces - is responsible for the construction and training of the military and political departments under the jurisdiction of the military and political departments on each planet.

The command of the army is all under the general command system of the Alliance Army. The planetary garrison system operates under the command of the commanders of the various armies of the Alliance, and the main force of each of the various armies is still the Alliance Army system.

The power of the planetary governor is almost isolated from the army. He neither participates in the construction of the army nor in the command of the army. He is a pure administrative official.

Moreover, there is a clear superior-subordinate relationship with the star governor, and it is necessary to report to the star governor. Although the star district governor cannot directly remove the planetary governor, the latter's work quality will be greatly affected by his evaluation, and he will be held accountable for mistakes.

As the star district governor, he can also intervene in the management of each planet more directly and smoothly, and allocate the resources of each planet, so that all the worlds in the star district can achieve coordinated development.

This can only be done with the clear upward centralization change brought by the Alliance.

Of course, star district governors like Jason Morgan are also isolated from the military.

But it does not mean that he does not need the support of military forces.

There are bad people among the masses.

The person tied to the chair in front of him is.

This is one of the former ruling classes on Ronglin Star.

To be honest, Jason Morgan does not look down on these people at all.

They did not perform well during the Iron Tooth War. They basically did not form a resistance. They just took people to run away and hid on the planets.

It would be fine if it was just like this. You can't force every planet to have a fierce man who can fight the greenskins with the survivors and make some noise. If the survivors can be organized and more vitality can be retained under the threat of the greenskins, the mission will be completed.

However, the ruling class on Ronglin Star and many other planets of Steel Fire Dragon was still exploiting, squeezing, and even living a rather luxurious life at that difficult and critical moment.

After being liberated by the Mingyang Sect, they still controlled the planet and actively moved closer. The Mechanicus was too lazy to deal with these things directly, and these local forces were willing to be dogs, isn't that good?

But being dogs is also for the Mechanicus. In order to rebuild itself, the Mechanicus was ferociously sucking blood, and these people, as accomplices, also took this opportunity to suck blood continuously.

After the end of the Iron Tooth War, in the short period of time between Jason Morgan's arrival four years ago, Steel Fire Dragon planets, especially Ronglin, broke out one after another "rebellion" and "riot", which of course would cause great harm to the society on the planet.

However, in Morgan's own opinion, he actually prefers to regard those things as "uprisings".

If people can't survive, won't they fight you to the death?

After Jason Morgan came to power, he certainly had to change these problems.

On the one hand, he looked down on these original ruling classes. On the other hand, their ruling methods were too rough and rubbish. Morgan needed the planet to develop, so he had to liberate the productivity of the native planet. He couldn't use such a backward production method to let these original ruling classes exploit and oppress them like slaves.

This is not only because these people, as the middle class, robbed too much profit. If that was the case, Morgan could tolerate it. What he couldn't tolerate was that this inefficient plunder led to a great suppression of the productivity of the entire society.

Under his continuous attack for four years, with the support of the Alliance Navy and Army, these original rulers were hit hard.

This is a group of soft bones. They can kneel to the Mingyang Sect, and of course they can kneel to the more powerful Alliance.

However, the difference is that the Mechanicus doesn't care about them, or even indulges them; the Alliance strictly controls them and cuts off power and benefits from them.

He dared not confront these "kneeling tribes" head-on, and they kept making trouble and making trouble in private. Even in the early days of Morgan's rule, when he had to rely more on the original administrative power of each planet, these people not only obeyed in public but also liked to do... According to Governor Gu, "carrying the red flag to oppose the red flag."

Some policies issued by Morgan were not dared to be opposed openly, so they increased the stakes several times and implemented them in an extreme direction, causing anger and resentment.

Jason Morgan was really fed up with these people.

Within the framework of rules, Morgan had been fighting with these people for four years, and he was tired of fighting.

If there were no drag from these people, Morgan would have the confidence to double the development level of several planets of Steel Fire Dragon.

He had endured until today, and finally he didn't have to endure it anymore.

After greatly weakening the ruling power of these original groups in the political framework, now he can finally take ruthless action and eliminate them physically.

They are even too lazy to follow the procedures to avoid any recurrence. They secretly arrest, try and eliminate them. Although it is not fair, it is necessary to take necessary measures when necessary.

The sooner the cancer is removed, the better the future development will be.

He paced around the prison and saw that more than 200 people were basically arrested according to the list he gave.

All of them were gagged and not allowed to say a word.

After confirming that the list was complete, he walked out of the prison.

At the door, he nodded slightly to the head of the secret police sent out, which was considered to confirm the work results.

The other party handed over a document.

Morgan signed and pressed the button he sent over.

This button leads to each cell below and can switch the ventilation duct gate inside the cell.

The deadly poison gas was sent into each cell. It only took a few minutes, and all the prisoners would lose their lives silently.

These more than 200 people, in the past and even in the present Ronglin Star, were people who could call the wind and rain when they were released. Slave owners, monopoly business owners, union chairmen, feudal lords... various identities together constituted the color of their rule.

And now, as Morgan pressed the button, these colors all turned gray and black.

If we continue to fight slowly with political means, it is unknown how long it will take to get rid of them all.

Let's cut the Gordian knot.

In fact, we should have done this long ago.

It's just that Morgan's control was not enough before.

On the one hand, it is barely enough now, and on the other hand, the external political environment has also undergone major changes.

While thinking, Morgan heard footsteps again.

"Have you dealt with it all?" the visitor asked.

"Yes."

"Then let's go, the most important thing today has not been done yet."

"Yes, let's go!"

Morgan put his arm around the visitor's shoulder and left while talking to him in a low voice.

This is his partner, Todd Paulson, the planetary manager of Ronglin Star.

After they walked out of the prison, they took the hovercraft that had been waiting outside. After several hours of high-speed flight, they arrived at the ground starport of Ronglin Star, then took the space elevator, went straight to the starport, and changed the hovercraft parked at the starport...

It was really not easy to toss the starport last time.

But they still had to come.

They needed to wait here for a senior official from the alliance headquarters.

General Political Commissar of the Alliance Military and Political Department, Senior Admiral Thadius.

Compared to Jason Morgan, who had to work hard in a difficult but fruitful place like Steel Fire Dragon to fight for a seat on the Central Committee, Thadius is an absolute big shot.

Apart from Gu Hang, the leader of the Alliance, Thadius's status is extremely important among the remaining leaders of the Alliance.

Even if he is not the first person in the Alliance military, he is at least a strong competitor.

Although he has not directly led the Alliance's army, the Military and Political Department, to some extent, bears responsibilities similar to the Imperial Military Affairs Department. It focuses on military construction, which includes logistics equipment, conscription training, military ideological construction, and officer promotion approval...

These military affairs will eventually fall to the Military and Political Department under Thadius's charge.

And, to be honest, Thadius's direct influence on the army is also very strong.

Although ordinary officers and commanders have little to do with him. But in the Alliance Army, the political commissar system, which plays a very important role, is under his leadership.

Although the main job of the military and political commissars is to be responsible for the ideological construction of each unit, which does not involve command, in a single unit, the priority of taking over the command is behind the deputy and the chief of staff. However, the special thing about the political commissar is that he has the power to ignore any priority and take over the entire unit in an emergency. When they think that the military chief has betrayed, deserted, or is afraid of fighting, they can even execute him.

Although this situation rarely happens, generally speaking, the military chief and the political chief are good partners in the army. And if this situation really happens, the corresponding political commissar will also be strictly examined afterwards.

However, this kind of super-standard power exists after all, so no one can ignore its status as the dual head of the unit.

If a single political commissar is like this, let alone Taddius himself as the general political commissar of the entire army. His power is not even limited to the military branch. Now the position of political commissar also exists in the alliance navy.

For example, the generals in the alliance navy, whether they are battleship captains or fleet commanders, or commanders-in-chief like Yan Fangxu in the army, although they are of different sequences and similar military ranks, and their status may be similar, but their influence is naturally not as great as that of Thadius, who has more extensive powers.

Such a person, a small Ronglin, what virtue and ability can he pay attention to?

In fact, there are.

First, Ronglin Star is located on the key road to the east and north of the Steel Fire Dragon Star Region.

Second, Jason Morgan has overcome all difficulties in the past four years, mobilized his own, his wife's, and his sister-in-law's various relationships, and begged for resources to build a Ronglin Star Port.

Every time he came to Ronglin Star Port, Morgan's heart would always surge with a surge of pride.

This is his achievement.

To be frank, Ronglin Star Port is not too large in scale, and it cannot be compared with the star ports in the core worlds of the alliance such as Feiyi Star, Yunluo Star, and Nuxiao Star.

It was roughly a second-tier starport in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, or even a weaker second-tier.

But compared to the development level of Ronglin Star itself, the specifications of this starport far exceeded the demand.

With a weak economic foundation, why did Jason Morgan sell everything he had and expand the starport to this extent? Wouldn't it be better to invest resources in other economic development paths?

The reason lies in the first point.

Since there is the advantage of a major transportation route, Morgan can judge that there will be more and more trade interactions between Jindi Star and the Alliance in the future, and many worlds that were originally controlled by the Mingyang Sect will be controlled by the Alliance again... In this way, if there is a distribution center for goods shipped from Jindi Star and from the Alliance, it will naturally be able to greatly improve efficiency.

This is what he is looking for.

Recently, with the completion of a large starport, what he planned has finally begun to have some effect.

He personally flew to Jindi Star once and found the sage Wu Jiarong. Although he was not familiar with it, he shamelessly requested one thing: the Mingyang Sect's transport ships do not need to deliver the goods directly to every destination, as long as they are transported to the nearby Ronglin Star. Ronglin Star contacted several chambers of commerce, and they are even trying to build their own caravans to be responsible for distribution and delivery to other planets.

Similarly, those chambers of commerce that have reached an agreement can also unload the goods sent by Jindi Star in Ronglin.

As a distribution center, Ronglin Star can make a lot of money here. Self-built chambers of commerce, starship maintenance, personnel rest and recuperation expenses... all of which can drive local economic development.

At present, such a set of things has already taken shape.

But Morgan felt that it was not enough, and he felt that it could be accelerated.

So, he fought for a good publicity opportunity.

General Thadius has not arrived yet, but the thing he cares most about this time has arrived.

Jason Morgan and the planetary general Paulson, together in the star port, admired the two behemoths parked in Ronglin Port:

'Steel Wing' and 'Ronglin'!

These are two 'Dragon Snake Class' battlecruisers built from Jindi Star and delivered to the Alliance!

Like the transportation of some goods and raw materials, they were first driven to Ronglin Star Port by the Mechanicus to vacate their shipyard. Afterwards, the crew of the Mingyang Sect withdrew, leaving only some necessary technicians, who would be delivered to the Alliance along with the ship.

The delivery location was Ronglin Star. Thadius came to Ronglin Star this time, of course, as the highest leader of the Alliance's armament management department, to conduct the delivery of the two battlecruisers with the Mingyang Sect.
